Encinitas
City Council
12A. Council initiated item from Councilmember Joy Lyndes to consider the repair
of the Swami’s Overlook parking area off Cornish. Environmental
Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a
"project" under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves
an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in
the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.
Recommended Action: Direct staff to evaluate the condition of Swami's
Overlook parking and recommend maintenance or upgrade actions to remedy
issues. Initial input from staff has suggested: 1) leveling the parking surface
and creating a smooth transition to the roadway; 2) installing a gravel or
similar surface to keep dust down, and hold the soil in place; and 3) 3. and
installing wheel stops for the parking spaces. Other elements may be
suggested, or brought forward for consideration, if needed.
