| SUBJECT | Public Hearing on the Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Approval on Appeal of Planning Application PA22-0227 for a Coastal Development Permit, Use Permit, Variance and Lot Line Adjustment. |
| PROPOSAL | An appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of a Coastal Development Permit, Variance, Use Permit and Lot Line Adjustment in conjunction with the removal of an existing two-level single-family residence and its replacement with a new two-level single-family residence and associated site improvements. The Coastal Development Permit is required for the demolition of the existing structure and construction of the replacement residence, along with the associated site grading and improvements. The Variance is requested to reduce the required front and rear setbacks, and the westerly side setback. The front setback for the main structure and entry gateway/gazebo would be a minimum of 5 feet from front property line and the rear setback would be 0 feet from the edge of the access easement. Both reduced setbacks would match existing nonconforming setback conditions. The westerly side setback would be 2.5 feet from the edge of curb. The Use Permit is required to permit an over-height privacy wall in the front setback area at 5 feet in height (with 6-foot pilasters) where the Zoning Code would limit the wall to 3 feet 6 inches in height. The Lot Line Adjustment is requested to merge two existing legal building sites into one legal building site. |
