RE: CDP 2017-0010 (DEV2017-0031) - SCHIFF RESIDENCE ACCESORY DWELLING UNIT
The city has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the
development of an attached 719-square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) located at 221 Normandy
Lane (APN 203-023-16-00)
It IS the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 2017-0010-SCHIFF 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 total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000
2 That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of
Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, m that no opportunities for coastal access are available from the
subject site, nor are public recreation areas required of the project because the project is not
located adjacent to the shore
3 The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the property
IS not located adjacent to a body of water, is relatively flat, and is surrounded by residential
development,''including a single-family home (CDP 2017-0009/NCP 17-0001/V 2017-0001)
approved for construction Additionally, the attached ADU will not affect steep slopes or
mature vegetation.
4 , That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified Local
Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated R-15 Residential which
allows for residential development including a new single-family home and an Accessory
Dwelling Unit The development consists of the construction of a 719-squar^ foot ADU attached
to a future single-family home (approved by CDP 2017-0009/NCP 17-0001/V 2017-0001) The
proposed ADU 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. /
