amendment for wine tasting rooms in the industrial zoning district. The proposed use is not a wine tasting room and would allow for the retail sale of wine with limited, accessory tastings. Unlike a wine tasting room, the proposed use would have no portion of the licensed premises maintained for the sole purpose of sale or service
of alcoholic beverages directly to patrons for consumption. Applicants David and Billy Vondrasek, the operators of Balboa Wine, stated that they had reviewed the draft resolution and agree with all of the required conditions. The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing.
One member of the public, Mr. Jim Mosher, thanked staff for the clarification of the proposed use and the pending amendment for wine tasting rooms in the industrial zone. He suggested that the Applicants familiarize themselves with the proposed amendment.
The Zoning Administrator closed the public hearing.
Action: Approved as amended ITEM NO. 3 Cameo Highlands Lot Line Adjustment No. LA2020-003 (PA2020-080) Site Location: 4800 Surrey Drive, 716 and 722 Cameo Highlands Drive Council District 6
Afshin Atapour, Planning Technician, provided a brief project description stating that this is a request for a lot line adjustment to realign the rear property line between three residences located at 4800 Surrey Drive, 716
and 722 Cameo Highlands Drive. The lot line adjustment will shift the existing rear property line between the three parcels towards the south, reallocating approximately 1,019 square feet of land to 716 and 722 Cameo
Highlands Drive. The proposed lot line adjustment results from the existing rear and side property line walls on 716 and 722 Cameo Highlands Drive that were constructed on 4800 Surrey Drive. The existing area of 4800
Surrey Drive is approximately 13,806 square feet and the proposed lot line adjustment would decrease the area to approximately 12,787 square feet. The existing area of 716 Cameo Highlands Drive is approximately
7,678 square feet and the proposed lot line adjustment would increase the area to approximately 7,987 square feet. The existing area of 722 Cameo Highlands Drive is approximately 7,752 square feet and the proposed lot
line adjustment would increase the area to approximately 8,462 square feet. All three properties will continue to allow for a maximum of a single unit dwelling consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use and
zoning designation. All three reconfigured lots will remain consistent with the minimum requirements of the R-1-6000 zone. The subject properties are located in the Coastal Zone. However, the proposed lot line adjustment
will not result in any change of density. The Planning Division received a public comment from Mr. Mosher discussing changes in density for all three properties, however density which is defined as the number of units,
is not decreasing or increasing for any of the properties and therefore, would not require a Coastal Development Permit.
The Zoning Administrator clarified that this is an attempt to align the property lines with the actual improvements
of the properties. Applicant Ron Miedema on behalf of RDM Surveying, 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. Mosher, clarified that the movement of the lot lines changes the density of each individual lot when increasing or reducing their size. Mr. Mosher commented that the categorical exclusion order does not list lot line adjustments and that lot line adjustments should be considered development.
The Zoning Administrator closed the public hearing. Action: Approved as amended
