PROJECT INFORMATION:
Owner: Donna Buchholz

Zoning: LDR/2.5-D-S-RAZ
Plan Area: Carmel Valley Master Plan
Flagged and Staked: N/A
SUMMARY:
On February 27, 2019, the Planning Commission considered an after-the-fact Design Approval for an elevated non-habitable structure meant to resemble a treehouse. The Planning Commission adopted a resolution of intent to deny the Design Approval and directed staff to return to the April 24th hearing with a resolution for denial for the Design Approval. Subsequent to the Commission's action, the applicant has indicated that they will revise their plan set in order to comply with Title 21 development to reduce the height of the structure.
Therefore, the applicant has requested the hearing be continued to a date uncertain while they revise their plans in order to meet site development standards for non-habitable accessory structures in the Low Density Residential zoning district (Monterey County Code 21.14.060). The applicant intends to make alterations to the structure and needs additional time to consider their options before continuing forward with this project.
