SUBJECT: CDP 07-31x1 - HOSP PARK DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
The Planning Department has completed a review of your application for a Minor Coastal
Development Permit Extension, CDP 07-31X1 - HOSP PARK DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS,
located at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Marron Road. The project consists of
the removal of the AC material on the existing access road and replacing the AC material with
stamped concrete and installing a rip rap energy dissipater at the northern end of the AC access
road. The project originally received City Planner approval on May 8, 2008, and expired on May
8, 2010. The access road also functions as a drainage channel and will convey runoff into the
proposed dissipater.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been
determined that (1) there has been no change of circumstances in relation to coastal resources
per Section 13169 of the California Code of Regulations, (2) the project is still in compliance
with the Minor Coastal Development Permit regulations, and (3) that the findings required for
granting a Minor Coastal Development Permit extension can be made; therefore, the City
Planner retroactively APPROVES Minor Coastal Development Permit Extension No. CDP
07-31x1 for one year (retroactively from May 8, 2010 to May 8, 2011), based on the following
findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. All of the findings contained in the City Planner's approval letter dated May 8, 2008
for CDP 07-31 apply to this extension and are incorporated herein by reference and
remain in effect. .
2. That the retroactive one year extension is appropriate because the owner/applicant is
diligently pursuing finalizing all necessary permits, the project is still consistent with the
Minor Coastal Development Permit regulations, and the extension would allow the
owner/applicant to preserve existing property entitlements while satisfying the conditions
for replacing the AC material with stamped concrete, and installing a rip rap
energy dissipator at the northern end of the AC access road (CDP 07-31).
3. That such permit and approval as extended are consistent with the requirements of Title
21 of this code at the time of their extension.

4. That the Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301(b)
Existing Facilities of the State CEQA Guidelines because the drainage channel
improvements will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
The drainage channel improvements will direct storm water runoff into an existing
natural drainage channel, which will reduce erosion in the park.
Conditions:
1. This Minor Coastal Development Permit extension is granted retroactively from May 8,
2010 to May 8, 2011. If building permits for this project are not obtained within this time
period, the coastal development permit extension will expire on May 8, 2011, unless
extended per Section 21.201.210 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
2. All of the conditions contained in the City Planner's approval letter dated May 8, 2008 for
CDP 07-31 apply to this extension and are incorporated herein by reference and remain
in effect except for Condition No. 5 which is superseded by Condition No. 1 of this
approval letter, and Condition No. 8 which is no longer applicable since the
project has been reduced in scope and no work will occur within the natural
drainage channel.
