Maynard Minor Use Permit/ Coastal Development Permit C-DRC2025-00028

Lizabeth Maynard has requested a Minor Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit to construct a two-story addition to her existing single-family residence at 1665 Berwick Drive in Cambria, California. The project includes a 490-square-foot two-car garage on the ground floor and a 460-square-foot guesthouse on the second floor, along with a 35-square-foot second-floor entry addition and an 88-square-foot first-floor laundry room expansion to the main house. Additional features include a 260-square-foot second-floor sundeck/patio and a 320-square-foot first-floor breezeway connecting the new structures. Driveway improvements and supporting infrastructure are also part of the proposal. The total disturbance on the 9,400-square-foot parcel is expected to be approximately 2,650 square feet, and the property lies within the Residential Single Family land use category in the North Coast Planning Area of the Coastal Zone. To mitigate environmental impacts, tree replanting will be conducted on-site and on an adjacent vacant parcel to the west, which is owned by the same party. This use of the adjacent parcel is supported by a preexisting covenant tied to a prior water meter transfer and voluntary merger with the Cambria Community Services District; no development is planned for the western parcel. The project site is in San Luis Obispo County, and all correspondence and permitting are managed by the county’s planning department, with Monserath Casillas-Rios as the primary point of contact. The application was posted in August 2026 and is being processed under permit number C-DRC2025-00028.
