Ms. Westmoreland clarified that the 280 square feet cited in the resolution and staff report are accurate. The Coastal Development Permit is required to allow an increase in height of more than 10 percent. The project includes raising the existing bulkhead to comply with the City’s Standard of 10.65 feet NAVD88. The Zoning Administrator clarified that the scope of work includes raising the bulkhead, and Condition of Approval No. 2 should be revised to state that no development bayward of the face of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Staff agreed to revise the condition accordingly. Applicant Chris Meddock, on behalf of the Owner, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with all of the required conditions.

Action: Approved as amended ITEM NO. 4 JL Oceanfront LLC and Waterfront 777 Residence Coastal Development Permit No. CD2020-144 (PA2020-304) Site Location: 1120 West Bay Avenue Council District 1 Joselyn Perez, Assistant Planner, provided a brief project description stating that the request is for a coastal development permit that will allow the demolition of an existing single-family home and the construction of a new single-family home along with the standard improvements. The proposed new home is approximately 3,719 square-feet of habitable area with an attached 653-square-foot garage and is located on a waterfront lot that is zoned R-1. The home complies with all applicable development standards. While not a part of this coastal development permit, a new bulkhead was approved by the Coastal Commission and will be constructed concurrently with the new home. Once the bulkhead is installed, no additional protective devices will be necessary to protect the proposed development from any existing or anticipated future coastal hazards. The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea. Access to the coast is available at either end of the block. The project does not include any features that would obstruct access, increase demand on public access and recreation opportunities, or degrade a coastal view road, public access way, or Coastal Viewpoint. Miss Perez then made a correction to the draft resolution and ended her presentation. Applicant Ryan McDaniel of Brandon Architects, on behalf of the Owner, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with all of the required conditions. The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. One member of the public, Mr. Jim Mosher, spoke and stated that he believed the surrounding neighborhood was characterized by two-story homes rather than three-story and he characterized the lateral access at the site to be severely impacted by private docks. The Zoning Administrator closed the public hearing. Action: Approved as amended V. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS None.
