(5 Ayes, 2 Abstain) Item 2: Rick Webster (PA2007 -049) 110 Tustin Avenue Request to allow Rolfs Wine to operate a specialty retail wine shop pursuant to Chapter 20.89 (Alcoholic Beverage Outlets). The Commission discussed the request briefly and included several additional conditions designed to ensure that the use could not be operated as a common liquor store by a future operator. This item was approved unanimously. Item 3: Advanced Real Estate Services (PA2005 -196) 201 & 207 Carnation Avenue and 101 Bayside Place The application would allow the demolition of an existing 14 -unit apartment building and a single - family home and the construction of a 7- level, 9 -unit multiple - family residential condominium complex with subterranean parking on a 1.4 acre site located bayward of the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Carnation Avenue. The existing General Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan and Zoning Designations of a small portion of the site (584 square feet) would be changed to be consistent with the larger portion of the site (from two- family residential to multi - family residential). The application includes a tentative tract map for the creation of 9 "airspace" condominium units for individual sale and. The Modification Permit application requests the encroachment of subterranean portions of the building within the front and side yard setbacks. Lastly, the Coastal Residential Development Permit application relates to replacing lost units occupied by low or moderate - income households. No units meeting this criteria are known to exist and, therefore, no replacement of affordable housing is required. Page 2 The Planning Commission concluded their consideration of the AERIE project by recommending its approval to the City Council. The majority of the discussion focused on the project's consistency with the Coastal Land Use Plan, specifically the predominant line of existing development. The Commission also discussed public views from Ocean Boulevard and determined that the project would not impact public views especially given that the applicant revised one of the upper floors to pull it back to improve views. The applicant and the City have agreed that the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration must be revised and recirculated before the City Council considers the project. This item was approved.
