Funding for this project was approved with the 1987-88 and 1988-89 CIP budget. A Negative Declaration (IS-87-50) was issued for the project. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct a public hearing and consider and adopt the attached resolution and findings therein: 1. Adopting Negative Declaration IS-87-50; and • 2 Findin that the proposed project is consistent with the policies of the 9 certified LCP; and 3. Approving Coastal Development Permit No. 17 subject to conditions listed on Exhibit A. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The project consists of street improvements within the Bay Boulevard public right-of-way and will entail infilling existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk between "F" Street and "J" Street. Specifically, improvements will include: 1. Curb, gutter, sidewalk, and landscaping on the east side of Bay Boulevard and "F" Street. 2. Approximately 320 linear feet of curb, gutter, and sidewalk on west side of Bay Boulevard between "F" and "G" Streets, and a storm drain inlet at the northwest corner of "G" Street. 3. Removal of 11 eucalyptus trees and addition of curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the west side of Bay Boulevard from "G" Street south to a point just south of "I" Street. ~~ • 4. Construction of a storm drain and an 18 storm drain (to connect to one existing channel) at the northeast corner of "J" Street and Bay Boulevard. Page 2, Item 9 • Meeting Date- There will be no additional vehicle lanes or right-of-way acquired; rather the existing facilities will be upgraded to meet existing City standards and the standards of the Bayfront Specific Plan. Additionally, a drainage inlet into an existing 24" storm drain pipe at "G" Street and a new 18" storm drain pipe and inlet at "J" Street will be constructed to connect to an existing drainage channel. Eleven Eucalyptus trees will be removed between "G" and "H" Streets on the west side of Bay Boulevard. Although several of the trees are mature, they are not a significant species. Minimal grading will be required for surface improvements. Trenching to an estimated maximum depth of 6 ft. will be required for the new drainage pipe at "J" Street. A condition will be placed on this permit to limit grading and trenching activities to the non-rainy season months. This requirement will reduce potential siltation downstream. Conditions of Approval 1. Trenching shall be limited to the months from April 1 through October 30. 2. All construction shall comply with all coastal zone requirements and standard conditions of approval contained in the Certified LCP and Coastal Development Procedural Manual. • Findings Based on the following findings, the proposed project has been found to be consistent with the policies of the certified Local Coastal Program: 1. The project is located within the existing dedicated right-of-way of Bay Boulevard adjacent to developed industrial property. Proposed improvements are consistent with the land use and circulation elements of the Bayfront Specific Plan. 2. The project is not located adjacent to coastal resources and does not provide direct access to the shoreline. However, the public improvements proposed to be installed will enhance vehicle and pedestrian circulation within the Bayfront area. 3. All proposed work will be undertaken on developed or disturbed lands. There are no significant natural plant or wildlife species present or which depend on the project site. Implementation of improvements will not result in any significant impact on natural resources. 4. Proposed drainage improvements will connect to existing drainage facilities currently out flowing into the San Diego Bay. The additional storm water anticipated to enter the system is minimal and will not require any new downstream improvements. FISCAL IMPACT: $428,400 has been approved for this CIP project ST-122. • WPC 3451H r' ~/ i l'~ /
