I The city has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for a lot line adjustment between two lots located at 4367 and 4347 Highland Drive. It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 2020-0003 -CROWLEY LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 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 proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal Development Permit. 3. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that no public opportunities for coastal access are available from the subject site, nor are public recreation areas required of the project as the property is not located adjacent to the shore. Therefore, the lot line adjustment will not interfere with the public's right to physical access or water-oriented recreational activities. 4. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the location of the property is not immediately adjacent to any body of water, and the existing lots are already considered disturbed, each developed with an existing single-family residence. The reconfiguration of the lot lines will continue to be legal and conforming in size following the completion of the lot line adjustment. The project will not result in a greater number of residential lots than existed prior to the lot line adjustment.
