NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BY THE ORANGE COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR

SUBJECT Public Hearing on Planning Application PA22-0095 for a Coastal Development Permit, Use Permit and Variance.

LOCATION

The project is located within the community of Emerald Bay at 1016 Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach, CA within the Fifth Supervisorial District. (APN 053-320-73)
PROPOSAL A request for a Coastal Development Permit, Use Permit and Variance in conjunction with the remodeling and additions to an existing two-level 3,622 square foot home. 875 square feet of new living area is proposed with an additional 32 square feet in a garage expansion. The completed project would total 5,029 square feet of living area and 531 square foot in attached garages. The Coastal Development Permit is required for the improvements to the existing home with associated site grading. The Variance is required for reduced front setback of 8 feet, where the Zoning Code would require 13.4 feet for new construction utilizing the average adjoining setbacks criteria. The existing structure has a nonconforming front setback of 8.67 feet. A Use Permit is required to permit over-height wall of 6.5 feet in the front setback area where a maximum height of 3.5 feet is otherwise required. A Use Permit is also required to allow the required third off street parking space to be uncovered.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION Staff recommendation is to find that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under the Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction) and Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) exemptions pursuant to Sections 15301, 15302 and 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and County of Orange procedures.
