The city has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the
development of an 841-square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) located at 908 Daisy Avenue
outside of the appealable jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission.
It is the City Planner's determination that the project, CDP 2020-0033 (DEV2020-0192) -908 DAISY AVE
ADU, is consistent with the city's applicable Coastal Development Regulations (Chapters 21.201-21.205)
and with all other applicable city ordinances and policies. The City Planner, therefore, APPROVES this
request based upon the following:
1. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal
Development Permit.
2. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter
3 of the Coastal Act, in that no opportunities for coastal access are available from the subject site,
nor are public recreation areas required of the project.
3. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the accessory
dwelling unit Is located on property that is not adjacent to a body of water, and the entire lot is
already disturbed and developed with a single-family home and mature landscaping.
4. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello I Segment of the Certified Local
Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for residential uses and the
project proposes to construct an 841-square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit {ADU). The
addition of the ADU is consistent with the surrounding residential development. The proposed
project will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way,
nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on
the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. Furthermore, the proposed
ADU is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards.

21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance), in that the project will adhere to the city's Master Drainage Plan,
Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff
Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. Limited
development is proposed to an existing residence located in a long-established neighborhood. No
undevelopable steep slopes or native vegetation exist on the subject property and the developed
site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or
liquefaction. No habitat buffers or geologic stability setbacks are required of the property.

working days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.201.080(6) and (C) of the
