|
LOCATION
|
The project is located in the community of Emerald Bay at 1209 Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 within the Fifth Supervisorial District (APN 053-320-60). |
| PROPOSAL |
The applicant is seeking a Coastal Development Permit and a Use Permit to allow for the expansion and interior remodeling of an existing residence. A Coastal Development Permit is required for the 711 square foot addition of conditioned, livable space and extensive remodeling to the existing residence. A Use Permit is also required to replace the existing front courtyard retaining wall adjacent to Emerald Bay, bordering the driveway. The existing courtyard retaining wall varies in height between 3.65’ and 7’ when measured from the street-facing, exterior side because of the natural slope of the property. The replacement courtyard retaining wall will be placed at the same location and vary in height between 3.91’ to 5. 83’ when measured from the street-facing, exterior side. The courtyard retaining wall, when measured from the interior side that is lower than the street, will be up to 7’-6” in height, which requires approval of a Use Permit. |
| ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION |
Staff is recommending that the proposed project be found Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement and Reconstruction), and Class 3 (New Construction) exemptions pursuant to Sections 15301 through 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. |
