PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Black asked Mr. Neu to introduce the first item and opened the public hearing on Agenda Item
1.
Planning Commission Minutes December 17, 2014 Page 2
1. RP 14-10 – LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS – Request for a recommendation of approval of a Major Review Permit to allow for the demolition of a single-family residence
and the construction of a five-unit residential condominium development project on property generally located at 735 Laguna Drive in Land Use District 8 of the Village Review
zone and within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The City Planner has determined that this project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has
found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to
Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the State CEQA guidelines.
Mr. Neu stated Agenda Item 1 would normally be heard in a public hearing context; however, the project appears to be minor and routine in nature with no outstanding issues and Staff recommends approval. He
recommended that the public hearing be opened and closed, and that the Commission proceed with a vote as a consent item. Staff would be available to respond to questions if the Commission or someone from
the public wished to comment on Agenda Item 1.
Chairperson Black asked if any member of the audience wished to address Agenda Item 1. Seeing none, he opened and closed public testimony.
MOTION
ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Scully and duly seconded by Commissioner L’Heureux that
the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 7077 recommending approval of Major Review Permit RP 14-10 to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
