It is the Planning Director's determination that the project, CDP 07-06 - LA COSTA GLEN STOCKPILE PERMIT, 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. 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 onsite and the stockpile does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way (Calle Barcelona) or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 T 760-602-4600 F 760-602-8559 © CDP 07-06 - LA COSTA GLEN STOCKPILE PERMIT September 15, 2011 Page 2 5. That the proposed 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 commercial and/or office uses. 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 preparation 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. Conditions: 1.
