Liane Schuller, Planning Consultant, provided a brief project description stating that the project site is a vacant
bay front property on the corner of Pearl Street and the Balboa Island promenade, and the applicant is
requesting approval of a coastal development permit to construct a new single-family residence and
attached garage. The proposed development is consistent with the Zoning and General Plan designations
on the property. The proposed design complies with all applicable development standards, including the
standards and approval requirements of the City’s Local Coastal Program.
Ms. Schuller stated that staff received a letter of comment this afternoon from a member of the public, Jim
Mosher, regarding the proposed density and suggesting that window glass facing the bay be treated to
minimize bird strikes.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing.
One member of the public, Rick Barrett asked for clarification on the overall square-footage of the residence
and garage. Mr. Murillo clarified that the maximum allowed square footage is 6,544 square feet and the
combined size of the residence and garage is less than that at 6,404 square feet.
