Document Description
A Local Coastal Development Permit request to provide safety and preventative maintenance improvements to an existing sanitation facility that includes the demolition of concrete and electric switchboard and construction of a replacement accessory structure for upgraded electrical equipment and restroom, totaling 276 square feet, at a site located at 6268 East Pacific Coast Highway in the Mixed-Use Community Core (MU-CC) designation of the Southeast Area Specific Plan (SEASP) (SP-2). Additionally, site improvements include replacing aging pumps, discharge pipes, valves, supports in the drywell, installing electromagnetic flowmeters, demolishing and reconstructing valve structures with redundancy, rehabilitating the wet well, installing security measures (e.g., cameras, motion detector lights, perimeter fencing), and completing other miscellaneous site improvements to improve redundancies and reduce risk of sewage flow into adjacent wetlands in case of equipment failure. The project includes a Standards Variance request to allow an approximately 30-foot buffer for the new site improvements, instead of a 100-foot buffer area, to open water areas pursuant to Policy 5.2 of the SEASP as the project site and existing sanitation facility is completely located within the buffer area.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
The site is developed as a sanitation district property with existing infrastructure. Based on the biological survey prepared for the project, no impacts to sensitive species or disruption to local sensitive coastal habitats are anticipated to occur as a result of Project activities (Results of the Biological Survey for Marina Pumping Plant No. 2, 2023). The project include repairs and modifications to an existing public infrastructure facility with no expansion of use. The project includes replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced including existing utility systems involving negligible expansion of capacity. The project includes construction of limited numbers of new small facilities. Further, the project includes construction of equipment to increase redundancy to avoid the risk of pump and equipment failures, which constitutes a project necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency in the event of failure.
