SUBJECT: SDP 2023-0009/CDP 2023-0017 (DEV2023-0059) – MAPLE DUPLEX – 1ST EXTENSION
The Planning Division has completed its review of your application for the first extension of Site
Development Plan SDP 2023-0009 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 2023-0017, submitted on April
29, 2026. The approved project, consisting of the demolition of an existing duplex and the construction of a new 11,047-square-foot, three-story duplex with subterranean parking and attached storage, is
located at 147 and 149 Maple Avenue in the Mello II Segment of Coastal Zone. The project was
approved on May 1, 2024, and due to expire on May 1, 2026. After careful consideration of the
circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1) there has been no change of
circumstances in relation to coastal resources per Section 13169 of the California Code of Regulations, (2)
the project is still in compliance with the Coastal Development Permit regulations, and (3) that the findings
required for granting a Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit extension can be made;
therefore, the City Planner APPROVES the first extension Site Development Plan SDP 2023-0009 and
Coastal Development Permit CDP 2023-0017 for two (2) years from May 1, 2026 to May 1, 2028, based
on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. All of the findings contained in the Planning Commission Resolution No. 7512 dated May 1, 2024 for
Site Development Plan SDP 2023-0009 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 2023-0017, apply to
this extension and are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect.
2. That the first two-year extension from May 1, 2026 to May 1, 2028 is appropriate because the project
is still consistent with the Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit regulations, and
the extension would allow the owner/applicant to preserve existing property entitlements while
satisfying the conditions for the demolition of an existing duplex and the construction of a new
11,047-square-foot, three-story duplex with subterranean parking and attached storage.
3. That such permits and approvals as extended are consistent with the requirements of Title 21 of this
code at the time of their extension.
4. That the City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303(b) – New Construction or Conversion
of Small Structures of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on
the environment.
