RE: CDP 10-31 - POINSETTIA PLACE STOCKPILE
The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the
stockpile of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of dirt located at the Poinsettia Place project site south of
Cassia Road and east of Poinsettia Lane.
It is the Planning Director's determination that the project, CDP 10-31 - POINSETTIA PLACE STOCKPILE,
is consistent with the City's applicable Coastal Development Regulations (Chapters 21.201 - 21.205) and
with all other applicable City ordinances and policies. The Planning Director, therefore, APPROVES this
request based upon the following:
1. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000.
2. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal
Development Permit.
3. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of
Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that no opportunities for coastal access are available from the
subject site in that the property is not located adjacent to the shore, nor are public recreation
areas required of the project.
4. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the area of
the stockpile is fully within an area that has been previously disturbed and was considered
and approved by Coastal Development Permit CDP 04-23(A). The project will adhere to the
City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban
Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
(JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No current agricultural
activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access
opportunities exist onsite and the stockpile of 40,000 cubic yards of dirt will not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way (Cassia Road) or
otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone.

5. That the proposed temporary stockpile is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the
Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for the
future development of residential uses consistent with CDP 04-23(A).
6. That the request for a minor coastal development permit was adequately noticed at least fifteen
(15) working days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.201.080(6) and (C) of
the Carlsbad Coastal Development Regulations.
7. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that
the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the
environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparatipn;
of environmental documents pursuant to (Section 15304 - Minor Alterations to Land) of the'
state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the
exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
