PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Montgomery opened the public hearing and asked City Planner Don Neu to introduce Agenda
Item 1.
Planning Commission Minutes March 7, 2018 Page2
1. CDP 2017-0057 (DEV2017-0195) -KIM RESIDENCE REMODEL -Request for approval
of a Coastal Development Permit to allow 1,308 square feet of habitable space additions
to an existing single-family residence, demolition of an existing detached one-car garage
and construction of a detached two-car garage within the Mello II Segment of the city's
Local Coastal Program located at 155 Chestnut Avenue within Local Facilities
Management Zone 1. 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 15301 (e)(2),
additions to an existing structure, 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 in routine and nature with no outstanding issues and staff is recommending approval.
He recommended the public hearing be opened and closed, and that the Planning Commission proceed
with a vote as a consent item. If the Planning Commission or any members of the public wish to pull the
item, staff would be available to respond to any questions.
Chairperson Montgomery asked if any members of the Planning Commission wished to pull Agenda Item
1. Seeing none, he asked if any members of the public wished to speak on Agenda Item 1. Seeing none,
he opened and closed public testimony.
MOTION
ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Rodman and duly seconded by Commissioner Siekmann
that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 7289
approving Coastal Development Permit CDP 2017-0057, based upon the findings
and subject to the conditions contained therein.
VOTE: 5-0-2
AYES: Chairperson Montgomery, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Rodman,
Commissioner Segall and Commissioner Siekmann

diameter cement mortar lined and coated steel pipe; (4) 525 linear feet of 16-inch polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) pipe; and (6) associated fixtures located at 5950 El Camino Real and within
the public rights-of-way on Faraday Avenue, Orion Street and El Camino Real within Local
Facilities Management Zone 5. The City Planner has determined that the Fifth Addendum
to the previously certified FEIR (03-05) is adequate pursuant to Section 15164(a) of the
state CEQA Guidelines and a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required.
Mr. Neu introduced Agenda Item 2 and stated Associate Planner Pam Drew assisted by Public Works
Associate Engineer Lindsay Leahy would make the staff presentation.
Ms. Drew and Ms. Leahy made the presentation and stated they would be available to answer questions.
