Minor Site Development Permit SDP25-0016(M) located at 33942 Silver Lantern

The City of Dana Point is processing a Minor Site Development Permit for a 370-square-foot addition to a two-story, single-family dwelling located at 33942 Silver Lantern, expanding the total floor area to 1,570 square feet. The existing structure is legally nonconforming under the Residential Multiple Family 14 zoning district due to insufficient front and side yard setbacks and noncompliant garage dimensions for two parking stalls. The proposed expansion is permitted under Dana Point Zoning Code Section 9.63.030(a), which allows increases exceeding 10 percent of the existing gross floor area for nonconforming structures through a Minor Site Development Permit rather than a full zoning variance. The project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under 15301(e) as an improvement to an existing residential facility, eliminating the need for environmental review. All work is confined to the property at the specified address, and the City’s Community Development Department is responsible for permitting, compliance verification, and inspection. No contract value, pricing, or procurement details are provided as this is a local zoning and land use permit, not a formal acquisition contract. The permitting process is administered by Natalie Tran, Assistant Planner, who serves as the primary point of contact for the project. No federal acquisition regulations or contract clauses are applicable, and no formal contractor, payment terms, invoicing system, or performance schedule has been designated. The submission process, if any, lacks standardized deadlines, formats, or required documentation beyond the permit application tied to this specific property.
