PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. CDP 2022-0031 (DEV2022-0107) – ADAMS HOUSE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the demolition of an existing single-family residence and construction of a new 6,790-square-foot single family residence with an attached 1,000-square-foot three-car garage and detached 793-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (under a separate coastal development permit) within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program located at 4368 Adams Street within 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 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.
