It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 13-35 -Ocean Street Condo, 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. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that the 175 square foot deck enclosure does not interfere with the public's right of access to the sea and the residentially designated site is not suitable for use as public recreation. Vertical public access to the beach is available within approximately 300 feet of the project site. Furthermore, lateral public access has been provided with a previous approval of a Coastal Development Permit on this property (COP 97-36). 4. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the site is already developed with a two-unit condominium building. In addition, the deck enclosure is located on the third floor of the building and therefor will not have an adverse effect on coastal resources. 5. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is developed with a two-unit condominium building and the project consists of an enclosure of an existing deck which is consistent with the RH Land Use designation and R-3 Zoning designation. Furthermore, no agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or vertical coastal access opportunities exist onsite, and because the improvements are within the permitted height requirements, the · · ..
