Report prepared by: Jackie Campbell, Director Community Development Department SIGNATURE ner: California Department of Parks and Recreation : Richard Burg, Senior ironmental Scientist Project Location: Carpinteria State Beach, 5361 Sixth Street APNs: 003-501-001, 003-510-001, 003-520and 003-530-007 ing: Recreation (REC) I. RECOMMENDATION Allow the California Coastal Commission to act as the decisionmaker for a Consolidated Coastal Development Permit per $30601.3 of the Califomia Coastal Act to allow comprehensive review of the reconstruction of the day use area and reconstruction of the restrooms and minor improvements at the Santa Rosa and San Miguel Campgrounds at Carpinteria State Beach. Consent to the Consolidated Coastal Development Permit process is contingent upon notice of any public hearing to properly owners within 300 feet and occupants within 100 feet of the State Park and review through the City Architectural Review Board process. Name of Project PC Hearing Date: 10-04-10 Page 2 II. PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project would provide improved public accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to upgrade and remodel existing facilities at three locations within Carpinteria State Beach (i.e., Day Use Area, Santa Rosa Campground and San Miguel Campground). Two restrooms and ramada in the Day Use Area would undergo demolition and replacement. A single restroom with showers and two shade-sail ramadas would then be built in closer proximity to the existing day use parking lot. To ensure connectivity, a compliant route of travel would be established between the new facilities, the upgraded picnic sites and existing access routes. The parking lot would also be restriped to provide several accessible parking spaces. At the Santa Rosa and San Miguel Campgrounds, an existing restroom at each site would similarly be removed and rebuilt with a slightly larger structure in relatively the same location. At each campground, three recreational vehicle (RV) sites would be modified (e.g., widen parking spaces, upgrade camping pads) and pathways from the new restroom buildings to the accessible camping areas would be repaved to meet ADA standards. Plans are attached as Exhibit 1. III. BACKGROUND Several years ago, the State Parks Department committed to upgrade ADA access at various parks throughout California. Carpinteria State Beach was chosen as one of the parks that would receive upgrades to make the park more accessible for all. Recently, new all-access paths have been installed around the outdoor amphitheater near the ranger station where evening talks are conducted. A plan has also been developed to reconfigure the entrance to the park to better accommodate visitors and to connect to the pedestrian trail from Palm Avenue to Linden Avenue. The subject project is a continuation of those efforts to upgrade other amenities throughout the park. The State Parks and Recreation Department plans to begin construction at the Day Use Area in June 2011. Allowing for a Consolidated Coastal Development Permit process will expedite the permit review process so that the improvements can be made within the projected timeline. Improvements at the two campgrounds would be completed once funding is obtained. Consolidated Coastal Development Permit Process When a proposed project is located partially within the Coastal Commission Permit Jurisdiction and a local jurisdiction's permitting jurisdiction, the local jurisdiction may choose to allow the Coastal Commission to process a Consolidated Coastal Development Permit (CDP) rather than requiring that each agency review only a portion of a project. This procedure is set forth in $30601.3 of the Public Resources Code (Division 20, California Coastal Act). The pertinent parts of this section are as follows. Name of Project PC Hearing Date: 10-04-10 Page 3 Section 30601.3 Coastal development permit application; processing criteria; standard of review (a) Notwithstanding Section 30519. the commission may process and act upon a consolidated coastal development permit application if both of the fottowing criteria are satisfied: (l) A proposed project requires a coastal development permit from both government with a certified local coastal program and the commission. a local Q) fhe applicant, the appropriate local government, and the commission, which may qgree through its executive director, consent to consolidate the permit action, provided that public particípation is not substantially impaired by that review consolidation. þ) The standard of review for a consolidated coastal development permit application submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) shalt þttow Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 3020o, with the appropriate local coastal program used as guidance. For the proposed project, the restroom buildings and RV parking spaces at Santa Rosa and San Miguel Campgrounds are in the City's permitting jurisdiction. The improvements at the Day Use Area are within the Coastal Commission's Permit Jurisdiction (see Exhibit 2). Without the opportunity for a Consolidated CDP wherein the project can be reviewed comprehensively, each agency would issue a separate permit for the portion of the project that is located withìn its jurisdiction. In this case, the applicant has requested that the local government consent to consolidate the permit action while maintaining the opportunity for public participation. This option has also been discussed with Coastal Commission staff from the Ventura Regional Office. Prior to approval of any CDp, public mailed noticing is completed for owners and occupants in the project vicinity. The Coastal Commission also requires that a notice be posted onsite advising |hat anapplication for development has been submitted for its review. According to the regulation, the standard of review for the consolidated permit is Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, with the Local Coastal Program used as guidance. Chapter 3 contains all of the resource protection policies of the Coastal Act and is the standard of review used by the Commission when it is the permitting agency or when it hears an item on appeal from a local government decision. The policies and implementing regulations of the City's Local Coastal Program are derived from and consistent with the resource protection policies contained in Chapter 3 of the Act. Therefore, consistency in these regulations has been achieved through certification of the City's LCp. And, according to the statute, the City's LCP is also to be used for guidance in the Coastal Commission's review of the CDP. This allows for consideration of any site specific policies from our local Coastal Land Use Plan that are applicable to a certain project. These policies are referenced below in the Analysis section of this staff report. Name of Project PC Hearing Date: l0-04-10 Page 4 Architectural Review Board (ARB) If the Planning Commission chooses to allow the Coastal Commission to process the Consolidated CDP, staff recommends that the City's Architectural Review Board still be involved in the process and have the opportunity to review the project locally to allow for public input regarding the design and aesthetics of the proposed facilities. This point has been discussed with and agreed to by State Parks and Recreation Department staff (personal communication with Rich Rozelle, District Superintendent, September 14, 2010). IV. ENVIRONMENTAL Based on site assessments and a search of database records, no impacts to listed or sensitive biological resources would result from construction. Whether the City or the Coastal Commission processes the Coastal Development Permit, the Department of Parks and Recreation would be the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and would be responsible for conducting environmental review for the project. However, given the small scale of the project and its design to improve coastal access, it is likely that the project could be found to be categorically exempt from CEQA. V. Coastal Land IJse Plan The project site has a General Plan/Coastal Plan designation of Open Space/Recreation. The project site is in Design Sub-area I (Downtown Beach Neighborhood) in the Community Design Element of the City's General Plan/Coastal Plan and is subject to the following policies. These are the policies that will guide the Coastal Commission's review process for the Consolidated Coastal Development Permit and apply specifically to the proposed project. LAND USE ELEMENT Objective LU-1: Establish the basis for orderly, well planned urban development while protecting coastal resources and providingfor greater accesa nad recreation opportunities for the public.
