Honorable Chair and Members of the Marina Planning Commission
Planning Commission Meeting of July 10, 2014
Item No: 6a

REQUEST TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, TAKE ANY TESTIMONY FROM THE PUBLIC, AND CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2014- : (1) CERTIFYING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND ADOPTING A MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN, AND; (2) APPROVING COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT CDP 2012-05, FOR THE CALIFORNIA AMERICAN WATER SLANT TEST WELL PROJECT LOCATED AT CEMEX's LAPIS ROAD PROPERTY (APN's 203-011-001 & 203-011-019)

SUMMARY

The first of the two requested actions is certification of the IS/MND and adoption of the MMRP. An MND can be adopted when the initial study has identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but: (1) revisions in the project plans would avoid or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment.

Following action on the environmental document, the Planning Commission may, after review and consideration: approve, approve with conditions or deny the requested Coastal Development Permit. This decision is to be based on the analysis within this report and the ability to make the Findings within the draft Resolution and thus determine that the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, the Local Coastal Land Use Plan, the Local Coastal Plan Implementation Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.
