DR 25-1886, CDP 25-1887 and VAR 25-1888, S Coast Hwy LLC Residence

The S Coast Hwy LLC Residence project, identified as DR 25-1886, CDP 25-1887, and VAR 25-1888, involves the construction of a new single-family dwelling on a vacant building site at 32005 Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, California. Located within the R-1 Residential Low Density zone, the project is situated in an environmentally sensitive area due to its proximity to the oceanfront. The scope of work includes the installation of a two-car garage, vehicular access, grading, retaining walls, elevated decks, terraces, a pool, a spa, and comprehensive landscaping. The City of Laguna Beach serves as the lead agency, with Nancy Balmer-Csira as the project planner and Marshall Innins as the architect. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder on December 5, 2025, confirming that the project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15303 for the new construction of small structures, with no significant environmental impacts anticipated. Administrative requirements for the filing included a 50.00 dollar fee and supporting documentation such as the CDFW No Effect Determination and a Certificate of Determination.
