The proposed development will provide infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program, which requires the provision of adequate sewage facilities to meet the demands of permitted development. The proposed project will increase the capacity of the City's sewer system and thereby address deficiencies identified in the Local Coastal Program. 4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act.
