PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
1. PUD 15-12/SDP 15-12/CDP 15-24/MS 15-08 – CHERRY-FIELD BEACH HOMES – Request for approval of
a Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, and Tentative
Parcel Map to demolish an existing duplex and to allow for the development of a three-unit multiple-
family residential air-space condominium project on a 0.21 acre infill site located at 187-191 Cherry
Avenue, within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone
1. The project site is not within the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The City
Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 “In-Fill Development Projects” of the State
CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
RESOLUTION NO. 7130
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
PLANNER: Chris Garcia ENGINEER: Tecla Levy
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approved 5-0
2. AV 15-01 – MAHON RESIDENCE – Request for an appeal of the City Planner’s decision to deny a Minor
Variance for a decorative wall to exceed the maximum allowed height of forty two inches (42”) in the
front yard setback of a single family lot located at 4826 Kelly Drive in Local Facilities Management Zone
1. The Minor Variance (AV 15-01) for the Mahon Residence was denied and is, therefore, exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Section 15270 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
RESOLUTION NO. 7131
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Uphold the Decision of the City Planner and Deny the Appeal
PLANNER: Greg Fisher ENGINEER: Steve Bobbett
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Decision of the City Planner Upheld, Appeal Denied 5-0
3. CT 14-04/PUD 14-06 – MILES BUENA VISTA – Request for adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and the approval of a Tentative Tract Map and

ten (10) single-family residential lots and one (1) private street/open space lot on property located at
1833 Buena Vista Way within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The City Planner has determined that
through the implementation of the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation, Monitoring
and Reporting Program, the proposed project avoids the effects or mitigates the effects to a point where
clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and there is no substantial evidence in light
of the whole record before the City that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.

PLANNING COMMISSION PROCEDURE
For those in the audience who are not familiar with the operation of a Planning Commission, the following is
a summary of the procedure:
For each item on the agenda, the planning staff will present a report to the Planning Commission. On items
for public hearing, the audience will be asked for comment. Those wishing to speak are asked to come
forward, speak into the microphone, and give their name and address for the taped record. A time limit of
five minutes is allotted to each speaker. After testimony is completed, the applicant is allowed a rebuttal.
The Planning Commission is anxious to hear all persons wishing to give testimony. However, it is requested
that each new speaker add new information, and not repeat points which previous speakers have made.
Persons not desiring to speak, but wishing to be recorded as proponents or protesters of record, may do so
by submitting their name and address to the minutes clerk.
Certain Planning Commission decisions are final, but may be appealed to the City Council. An appeal may be
filed with the City Clerk at City Hall within 10 calendar days of the decision. The cost of filing an appeal is
$1,097 plus noticing fees for all matters. If anyone wishes to question a Planning Commission decision, they
may contact the Planning Division at 1635 Faraday Avenue, between the hours of 7:30 and 5:30, Monday
through Thursday, and 8:00 to 5:00 on Friday.
