Case No. 01-045 CDP
FINDINGS FOR A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
STANDARD: Section 30.80.090 of the Municipal Code provides that the authorized
agency must make the following findings of fact, based upon the information presented in
the application and during the Public Hearing, in order to approve a coastal development
permit:
1.
The project is consistent with the certified Local Coastal Program of the City of
Encinitas; and
2.
The proposed development conforms with Public Resources Code Section 21000 and
following (CEQA) in that there are no feasible mitigation measures or feasible
alternatives available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact
that the activity may have on the environment; and
3.
For projects involving development between the sea or other body of water and the
nearest public road, approval shall include a specific finding that such development is in
conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Section 30200 et. seq.
of the Coastal Act.
Facts: The applicant proposes to demolish the existing Ada Harris Elementary School and
construct a new 54,951 square feet Ada Harris Elementary School. The project also includes
changes to the vehicle circulation and parking attributes of the campus in Cardiff-By- The-Sea.
Discussion:
Relative to finding No.1, the proposed project will comply with all applicable Sections of the
City's Municipal Code, certified Local Coastal Program, and General Plan. The school is an
allowed use in the P/SP zoning district and General Plan designation.
Relative to finding No.2, The project has been reviewed under the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and on October 5, 2000 the applicant, as the lead
agency, published a Notice of Determination for a Negative Declaration for this project pursuant
to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Relative to Finding No.3, the project is in conformity with the public access and public
recreation policies of Section 30200 et. seq. of the Coastal Act in that the project is not on or
near the ocean or other body of water and is, therefore, not removing or modifying public access
and, further, it is not feasible for the project to provide public access to the beach.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that 1) the project is consistent with the certified
Local Coastal program of the City of Encinitas; 2) no potentially significant adverse impacts to
the environment will result, and 3) the project is in conformity with the public access and public
recreation policies of Section 30200 et. seq. of the Coastal Act.
