foot basement, an 884 square foot attached garage, and a 280 square foot roof deck
within the Mello II Segment of the city's Local Coastal Program located at 5198 Shore
Drive within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. The project site is within the appealable
area of the California Coastal Commission. The City Planner has determined that the
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 it is therefore categorically exempt
from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section
15303(a), construction of a single-family residence, of the state CEQA Guidelines.
Mr. Neu introduced Agenda· Item 1 and stated Associate Planner Paul Dan would make the staff
