MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
NOTICE OF DECISION
RE: COP 13-29-TABATA 10 STOCKPILE
www.carlsbadca.gov
The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the
stockpile of approximately 18,100 cubic yards of dirt located at the Tabata 10 residential project site
near Camino Hills Drive and El Camino Real.
It is the City Planner's determination that the project, COP 13-29-Tabata 10 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 City Planner, 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 by agricultural
activities. The project adheres 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 in the area that the stockpile will be placed and

the stockpile does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-
of-way 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 LCPA 06-02 and COP 06-19.
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(B) and (C) of
the Carlsbad Coastal Development Regulations.
7. That the City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15304-Minor Alterations to Land of
the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
