Coast Walk Lots 2 & 17

The Coast Walk Lots 2 & 17 project, identified by solicitation number PRJ-1074172, involves a residential development in La Jolla, San Diego, managed by the City of San Diego Development Services Department. The scope of work requires a Coastal Development Permit and a Site Development Permit to demolish a portion of an existing tennis court and associated site improvements on a 0.45-acre site. The project will result in the construction of a new two-story, 5,478-square-foot single-family residence with a 491-square-foot garage, alongside a new single-story, 440-square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) with a 451-square-foot garage. The site is zoned RS-1-7 and is designated for Low Density Residential use within the La Jolla Community Plan, subject to several overlay zones including Coastal Height Limitation and Transit Priority Area. Environmental compliance is a central component of this project, as evidenced by the Mitigated Negative Declaration which addresses potential impacts on historical and tribal cultural resources. A Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been established to oversee compliance throughout the project lifecycle, including requirements for archaeology and historic site observations. Geotechnical evaluations have identified specific site challenges, such as coastal bluff stability, expansive soils, and seismic hazards, leading to recommendations against stormwater infiltration to protect the bluff. Additionally, the project must adhere to the City's Climate Action Plan and strict stormwater quality management standards, including the implementation of a Priority Development Project Storm Water Quality Management Plan to mitigate runoff and protect local water quality.
