Administrative Plan Review No. 24-053, Coastal Development Permit Exemption No. 24-107, Variance No. 26-009, and Categorical Exemption No. 24-187

The project involves the construction of a 12-foot 6-inch tall, detached garage measuring 768 square feet with a flat roof and an enclosed basement, alongside related site improvements. The applicant is seeking multiple approvals including an administrative plan review, a coastal development permit exemption, a categorical exemption, and a variance to reduce the required front yard setback from 60 feet to 20 feet, a significant deviation from standard zoning requirements.

The application is tracked under Administrative Plan Review No. 24-053, Coastal Development Permit Exemption No. 24-107, Variance No. 26-009, and Categorical Exemption No. 24-187, with the official posting date listed as July 2, 2026. Primary points of contact include Gabriela Medrano, Office Assistant, and Yolanda Bundy, Community Development Director, both reachable through the city’s general phone line and email. The trust responsible for the property, James Rowton and Susan Rowton Trust, is also listed as a party involved in the application.
