Adopt Resolution authorizing the California Coastal Commission to accept and process a consolidated Coastal Development Permit request from the California Department of Transportation to conduct geotechnical drilling at the Albion River Bridge of State Route 1; and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors has previously authorized the consolidation of Coastal Development Permits for other projects with shared jurisdiction between the County and the California Coastal Commission where public participation was determined not to be impaired.
Summary of Request:
The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) is requesting a consolidated Coastal Development Permit to authorize geotechnical drilling at the Albion River Bridge of State Route 1. The geotechnical drilling will occur adjacent to the existing Albion River Bridge and on both sides of the Albion River. The project is necessary for bridge foundation design for the proposed bridge replacement project. The project area is located on parcels with split jurisdiction between the County of Mendocino and the California Coastal Commission. The proposed consolidation request would allow for streamlined processing of the project and review of the entire project in one permit. The Coastal Act was amended by Senate Bill 1843 effective January 1, 2007, which allows for a consolidated permitting process for projects when the Coastal Development Permit authority is shared by a local government and the State Coastal Commission. The geotechnical drilling at the Albion River Bridge of State Route 1 project is under the coastal development permit authority of both Mendocino County and the California Coastal Commission and would otherwise require a coastal development permit from both Mendocino County and from the California Coastal Commission for the portions of the geotechnical drilling located within each jurisdiction. Public participation will not be substantially impaired, as the California Coastal Commission will hold a public hearing, which may be attended by interested parties or interested parties may submit comments in advance of a meeting.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Reject the Resolution and direct staff to process a Coastal Development Permit for that portion of the project located in the County’s jurisdiction.
