Item No. @
Application complete date: August 1 1, 1997
P.C. AGENDA OF: September 17,1997 Project Planner: Adrienne Landers
SUBJECT: CDP 97-30 - HEERS ADDITION - Request for approval of a Coastal Development
Permit to allow the construction of a single family residence and a garage addition
on a lot with an existing single family dwelling located at 2499 Jefferson, in the R-3
Zone, in the Coastal Zone and Local Facilities Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 41 73 APPROVING
Coastal Development Permit CDP 97-30 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
11. INTRODUCTION
This project involves the construction of a single family residence and garage addition on a site with
an existing single family dwelling with attached garage. The property owner initiated construction
of the additional unit and expanded garage without benefit of City approvals and is now seeking
authorization to continue development of his property. The proposed project complies with all
regulations and policies including the City’s Local Coastal Program.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to legitimize the construction of a single family home and garage addition
on a 1.0 acre, level parcel located on the south side of Buena Vista Lagoon. An existing home and
garage are situated at the far west end of the site between 25’ and 40’ from a gradual bluff above the
lagoon and from 275’ and 352’ to the wetlands of the lagoon. The applicant is proposing to expand
the existing garage by 816 square feet and to also build a new 560 square foot home on land between
the existing house and Jefferson Street. The requested density of 2 ddac is consistent with the
density allowed under the R-3 zoning designation and the Residential Low Medium general plan
designation (RLM, 0-4, growth control point of 3.2 ddac.
Prior to the City being granted coastal permit authority by the Coastal Commission in October 1996,
an applicant was required to obtain coastal permit approval from the Coastal Commission before
building permit issuance by the City. Now, coastal development permits for new single family
homes are reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to building permit issuance.
The subject site is located within the Mello 11 Segment of the City’s Local Coastal Program and as
one of the first row of lots located adjacent to Buena Vista Lagoon it is also within the Coastal
Resource Protection Overlay Zone and the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone. For these

reasons, the applicant is required to address the issues of encroachment into wetlands, vegetation,
and slopes over 25 percent.
111. COMPLIANCE WITH COASTAL REGULATIONS
As shown on the Coastal Development Compliance Table below, the proposed development is in
compliance with all applicable regulations.

be addressed by Coastal Commission during
As noted above, the proposed project complies with the land use policies of the Mello I1 Segment of
the Local Coastal Program in that the project proposes the construction of an additional single family
residence for a total of two units in an area designated for multi-family development. The LCP Land
Use Plan designates the subject site for RLM (Residential Low-Medium) density development. A
field visit and ortho-photo surveys by staff indicated that no impacts to coastal resources will occur
because the new construction will not require any grading, will be located behind the stringline of
the existing home and will be situated more than 275’ from Buena Vista Lagoon wetlands. For these
reasons, topographic and vegetation mapping and analyses were not required to locate the
boundaries of wetland areas and/or slopes in excess of 25%. Staff has conditioned the project to
provide this data and analysis should future development be proposed on the west side of the
existing home.
