ITEM NO. 3 Sommerdyke and Meacham Residential Condominium Conversion No. CC2021-002 (PA2021-060) Site Location: 720 and 720 ½ Iris Avenue Council District 6
Joselyn Perez, Assistant Planner, provided a brief project description stating that the request would modify an existing Condominium Conversion from requiring a four-car garage, which is a greater parking requirement than what the zoning code currently requires for a two-unit dwelling. A requirement of two parking spaces per unit, one in a garage and one in a carport is the current zoning code requirement. No other changes are requested.
The Zoning Administrator asked Assistant Planner Perez if there was any discussion in the original approval for intentionally conditioning the project to require a four-car garage. Ms. Perez responded that there is no specific reason given for the requirement.
The Zoning Administrator then requested an addition to the decision of the resolution that the resolution
supersedes Condominium Conversion No. CC2005-009, which upon vesting of the rights authorized by this Condominium Conversion, shall become null and void. Applicant James Meacham on behalf of both himself and Mr. Sommerdyke stated that he had reviewed the
draft resolution and agrees with all of the required conditions.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. Seeing that no one from the public wished to comment, the public hearing was closed.

development permit to allow the demolition of an existing single-family residence and the construction of a new, approximately 3,897-square-foot, three-story residence including an attached three-car garage. The project
also includes additional appurtenances such as landscaping, hardscaping, drainage, a barbeque counter, and a reinforced bulkhead cap for protection against coastal hazards. The design complies with all applicable
development standards and no deviations are requested.
The Zoning Administrator noted that the plans show that the home is two stories and noted that the third story is a roof deck only. This more accurate description should be updated in the resolution.
