DA-26-0002 (632 N 2nd / 209 Atlantic City) ACDP

Project DA-26-0002 authorizes an Administrative Coastal Development Permit for the construction of a new two-story single-family residence, designated as an Urban Dwelling Unit, at 632 N 2nd Street in Grover Beach, California. The approval includes a Modification to Standards to allow a reduction in the additional setback requirement for a second-story deck. Processed under Government Code Section 65852.21 (SB 9), the project received ministerial approval based on objective standards for the Coastal Zone and CR1 zoning district. It is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Class 3, Section 15303. The permit is valid for twenty-four months from the decision date and expires unless a valid building permit is submitted. Key requirements include revising the second-story north-facing deck to reduce its depth to approximately fifty percent of the building elevation width, orienting it toward the street, and replacing the rear portion with a sloped roof element. Additionally, the balcony railing system must visually obscure storage and provide privacy per Development Code Section 3.10.080.E.6. The residence is subject to a rental restriction prohibiting leases of 30 days or less. Construction must adhere to Municipal Code Section 3120.1, with hours limited to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The applicant is required to indemnify the City of Grover Beach and must settle all outstanding balances in the project's deposit account before building permits are submitted. Compliance will be verified through the building permit plan check and inspection process, with final design satisfaction resting with the Community Development Director.
