Local Coastal Development Permit Adopt resolution directing the Director of Development Services to submit a request to the California Coastal Commission to certify an amendment to the Certified Local Coastal Program and adopt a negative declaration. N.D. Dash zero three Dash 16 District three. Stafford Port Yes. Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. The staff report be given by Linda Tatum, our planning bureau manager. Good evening, Mayor, and members of the council. This is an application by a property owner for a rezoning from the current seat in our community or neighborhood. Commercial residential. Designation to rezone to the AR two I. Which is the. Two family intensive. Residential zoning district. The purpose of this request is to construct a new single family dwelling on this property, and the property is located. At on. 61st place. The reason for the request for the rezoning is that the are two eyes zone that's. Being requested allows a height of up to three stories. And the current seat in our the neighborhood. Commercial zoning allows only a two story development. So I'd like to show you a quick slide to give you a little bit of context. This is the peninsula. And just to give you a context, there is this what we call the dog bone there. That's his own seat in our neighborhood on commercial and residential. And the subject site is located here on the. Very westerly edge. Of that sea in our zone. The this strip of. Sea and our zoning on the peninsula dates back to approximately the fifties. And the intent, when it was originally designated for CNR from the previous R two zoning, was to allow or to accommodate some very low density commercial within that that community. However, the market never did turn over that those residential properties to commercial. So to date the the entirety of this area is still predominantly developed, predominantly as residential. Of those 49. Addresses within that. Property, only only and 37 buildings in this strip, only. Three are actually developed as commercial. The rest of it is. Is. Residential. So therefore. Let me just give you another context. This is. You can see the. The location here where the error. Was showing this. Is the location of the the proposed property. That's the subject of the rezoning. And just another slide with a sketch of the proposed home there interspersed. You can see the context of the property. It's a proposed three storey dwelling unit. Whoops. The three storey dwelling unit. And it fits within the current context of the existing development within the CNR zone. Just to talk real briefly about the general plan for this area. The the general plan designates this area as. Eluded number two, which allows mixed style homes. And the C an R zoning currently. In place does not. Conform to this designation. However, the R2 I. That they're requesting is consistent with this general plan designation and changing the zoning as requested to the R one or the R2 ISO will bring this property into conformance with the general plan. So staff, when this. Request came through, staff. Did an analysis of. The property and the request. And. Essentially given the location of this property adjacent to. The the rest of the C, the existing two is owned throughout the rest of the peninsula on the edge. We felt that this is not considered support zoning. So the request. Is certainly appropriate. The zoning also would afford the applicant who. Happens to be the property owner for this property. It affords that property owner the same. Development rights. To do. A three storey project as is enjoyed by. The majority. Of property owners currently on the. Peninsula. It's also important to note that the scope and scale of the. Development that's being. Proposed is is. Entirely consistent and compatible with the general development pattern within that area. And the zone change will not create any. Unanticipated impacts to this site or into the surrounding property. The zone change will. Also meet all of the requirements of the city's on the existing certified. Local coastal program and approval. Of the local coastal. Development permit is an appropriate action. For this. The City Council to take. According to secure I a an environmental. And. Environmental analysis was done and a negative declaration was prepared to the project for the project. And we found no significant impacts to the environment and no impacts that are needed to mitigate this project in order. So the project does comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. We did receive. One letter and one phone call in opposition to the. Project. However, all of the communication that was received for this project is included in the council packet. We also received a letter of. Support from the property owner immediately north of. The project site in support of the project. In conclusion, based on the staff analysis that was done for this project and the finding that there are no. Significant impacts, it's compliant with sequel. Also based upon the feedback. Staff is recommending that the City Council affirm the recommendation that was made by the Planning Commission when they heard this item. And that the City Council. Adopt the negative declaration for. This project. Approve the zone. Change from CNR to R2. I also approved the local coastal development permit as well as adopt a resolution submitting. A local coastal. Program amendment to the California Coastal Commission. That concludes the staff's presentation. I'm available along with Scott Kinsey, the project planner, and we can answer any questions the Council may have. Regarding this request. Thank you. Is there any public comment on this item? Seeing none. Members, please, please cast your vote count. I just want to speak to the item. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't. Forgive me. For it. I want to thank Staff Scott and Linda for your great work, your thorough presentation on this topic. I think that the analysis is is very comprehensive in regards to the local area. And your your presentation did a good job in educating my colleagues and myself as well regarding the proposed development and how it fits within the current existing development in the area, as well as the general plan objectives that we have shared with the Peninsula community. I really do think it's an it's an issue of fairness. This proposed project really falls very clearly into the current housing scheme, development scheme in the area, and I urge my colleagues to approve staff's recommendation as to this item. Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman Mongo. I think that everyone did an excellent job and I will be supporting this item. Thank you, Councilmember Arango. Thank you. QUESTION The height of the of the property is 35 feet. Is that it? The excuse me, the maximum height under our tri zoning is 32 feet, with a additional maximum of 35 to the ridge, only to the ridge of a slope, but everything else 32 feet. And the buildings that are adjacent to it, how tall? How high are they? We have a number of three and four story buildings in the immediate vicinity. Okay. Just ask it. I know it's going to be coming through the Coastal Commission, so it's going to be an issue of the height requirement. And hopefully from what I can tell, it's compatible with the rest of the territory, with the rest of the buildings around that area. So I'll be supporting this. Thank you. Thank you. And seeing no public comment, members, please cast your vote. You know me? Yes.
