Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Zoning Administrator:
a. Find the project Categorically Exempt per CEQA Section 15301(e)(1); and
b. Approve a Design Approval allowing a second-story addition and minor modifications to the existing residence and site.
PROJECT INFORMATION:
APN: 007-483-008-000
Parcel Size: 0.21253 acres or 9,258 square feet
Zoning: MDR/B-6-D-RES or Medium Density Residential, Building Site, Design Control and Regulations for Parking and Use of Major Recreational Equipment Storage in Seaward Zone Districts.
Agent: Robert Mandurrago
Flagged and Staked: Yes, the site was staked and flagged prior to application submittal and remaining through the hearing.
SUMMARY:
This project was submitted, processed and noticed as a Use Permit and Design Approval. Upon further review, the entitlement for a Use Permit is not necessary and only an Administrative Design Approval is required. Normally this would be noticed for administrative approval, but since it has already been noticed for consideration by the Zoning Administrator, it is being acted on by the Zoning Administrator. The design of the modification is consistent with the existing house, and of the neighborhood. The installation of the fencing is compatible with the neighborhood and is not in a location that conflicts with any visually sensitive areas. No conditions of approval are attached; the Zoning Administrator will document action on this by signing the Design Approval Form which is attached to this report. Therefore, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve the Cooke’s Administrative Design Approval for the proposed second-story guesthouse and for other proposed site improvements.
The Del Monte Land Use Advisory Committee (LUAC) recommended approval of this project as proposed.
