Document Description
Coastal Development Permit and Special Use Permit to rehabilitate a privately owned/maintained, public stairway commonly referred to as the “Terramar Stairway,” which has been damaged and undercut due to constant wave action. The private stairway provides public access to South Carlsbad State Beach. The area of disturbance is 0.053 acre. Proposed earthwork is 13 cubic yards of cut, with a maximum cut depth of two feet. The excavated material will be deposited on the beach. Repair activities include armoring the north and south sides of the concrete stairway with shotcrete and filling the sea caves undercutting the stairway with erodible concrete. To support the shotcrete wall, four tieback anchors are proposed. The existing drainage pipes will be protected in place and extended to the western face of the proposed shotcrete wall. The temporary staging area for the equipment to repair the stairway is located on the blufftop, directly south of the subject private property, on property owned by the State of California (APN 210-120-29-00). The temporary staging area is vegetated with disturbed, nonnative habitat. A Special Use Permit is required for work within a FEMA 100-Year Flood Zone.
The project site is located at 5327 Carlsbad Boulevard and is comprised of Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 210-120-34-00. The site is subject to the R-4/OS General Plan Land Use Designation and is Zoned R-1/OS. The site is developed with a single-family residence and a stairway which provides public access to South Carlsbad State Beach.
