MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
NOTICE OF DECISION
January 14,1999
TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
SUBJECT: CDP 98-78 - HOSP GROVE TRAIL
The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development
Permit for development of a public trail to be located in the Hosp Grove property owned
by the City of Carlsbad.
It is the Planning Director’s determination that the project, CDP No. 98-78, is consistent
with the applicable City’s 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:
Findinas:
1. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000. The trail
will be constructed using volunteer labor.
2. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a
Minor Coastal Development Permit.
3. That the development has no adverse effect individually or cumulatively on
coastal resources or public access to the shoreline or the coast, in that Hosp
Grove is a eucalyptus woodland whose primary resource is visual. Construction
of the trail will not impair the visual qualities of the area and will provide
enhanced public access to the area. In addition, the trail will improve the public’s
visual access to other coastal resources such as Buena Vista Lagoon by
providing viewpoints.
4. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local
Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that Mello II Policy 7-6 calls for
improved trail access adjacent to Buena Vista.Lagoon.
5. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public
recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that the purpose of the
project is construction of a trail for public access. The project is also consistent
with the Carlsbad General Plan because it is a segment of the Citywide Trails
program as discussed in the Open Space and Conservation Element.

6. That this 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 (see attached copy of notice).
7. That the Planning Director has determined that the project is in prior compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per
Section 15153 of the State CEQA Guidelines in that the project was analyzed as
part of the Master Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan (EIR 93-01)
certified on September 6, 1994. That EIR adequately addressed the potential
environmental effects of construction of the Citywide Trail system. Construction
of this trail segment will not have a negative effect on the environment because
the trail alignment has been designed to avoid any sensitive vegetation and the
trail will follow gentle slopes to prevent erosion.
