SUMMARY
The subject property is located at 1463 Cypress Drive, Pebble Beach within the unincorporated area of Monterey County. The lot is developed with a 5,727-square-foot single-family dwelling and detached garage constructed in 1967.
The proposed project includes removal of 26,000 square feet of existing irrigated lawn and non-native horticultural plantings, replacement of existing driveway with permeable pavers, installation of a rain harvest system with underground storage tanks for irrigation purposes, and construction of 6-foot tall perimeter redwood fencing to match existing redwood fencing. The project includes grading quantities to include 2, 238 cubic yards of cut and 2, 238 cubic yards of fill to be balanced on-site. The proposed development takes place within 750 feet of a known archaeological resource. Previous information indicated that the project would require development (grading) on slopes in excess of 30 percent. However, new information recently submitted indicates otherwise. Therefore, staff recommends the Planning Commission continue this hearing to a date uncertain to allow staff additional review time to review the project and ensure consistency with the Del Monte Forest Land Use Plan, Del Monte Forest Coastal Implementation Plan (Part 5) and applicable sections of Monterey County zoning ordinance (Title 20).
