AI Contract Overview

The Pacific Edge Hotel Remodel Project, managed by the City of Laguna Beach, involves a significant modification to a previously approved hotel and resort complex. The project scope includes the exterior and interior remodeling of nine existing buildings, structural additions to the Bahia, Surf, and Reef Tower buildings, and the construction of a new Reef Wing building at 667 Sleepy Hollow Lane. Key amenities and infrastructure upgrades feature a new automated parking garage with a private roof garden, a new cafe with outdoor dining at the Coast building, and the reconfiguration of existing pools, spas, and lounge areas. The modified plan reduces the total hotel room count to 136, which is 20 fewer than originally entitled. Additional site improvements include new vehicular access from Sleepy Hollow Lane for an improved valet drop-off, public sidewalk and pedestrian enhancements along South Coast Highway, grading, landscaping, and the installation of new HVAC units, egress stairs, and elevators. To facilitate these changes, the project requires a conditional use permit amendment, a coastal development permit for public right-of-way improvements, and a variance to allow six new elevators to meet Fire Code access requirements that exceed maximum building height limits under specific Laguna Beach Municipal Code sections. The City of Laguna Beach, acting as the lead agency, prepared an Addendum to the existing Mitigated Negative Declaration, concluding that the modifications do not result in new significant environmental impacts or increase the severity of previously identified impacts. Consequently, no new mitigation measures are required beyond those already established in the original declaration. The project was officially approved on November 5, 2025, with the Notice of Determination filed on November 12, 2025.

Full Description

On August 10, 2021, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 20200100528) for an existing hotel/resort complex (Pacific Edge Hotel). Subsequent to the approval, the original project now involves a modification to the prior approval to remodel the Pacific Edge Hotel with restaurants in the C-1 (Local Business District) and CH-M (Commercial Hotel-Motel) zones (hereinafter referred to as the "modified project"). A conditional use permit amendment is requested to expand the hotel, to redistribute seating between two existing restaurants and one previously entitled but not yet established cafe, and to modify the valet parking plan. Design review is required for modifications to this prior approval, including an exterior and interior remodel of nine existing buildings, addition to three buildings (Bahia, Surf, and Reef Tower), reconfiguration of existing and previously entitled pools and spa/lounge areas, construction of a new automated parking garage with private, passive roof garden, modifications to a previously entitled but not yet constructed new hotel building (new Reef Wing building, 667 Sleepy Hollow Lane) and cafe with outdoor dining (existing Coast building, 647 S. Coast Highway), grading, new vehicular access from Sleepy Hollow Lane to create an improved valet drop-off driveway, public sidewalk and pedestrian access improvements along South Coast Highway, air conditioning units, new egress stairs and elevators, and landscaping. Overall, the modified project will provide 20 fewer hotel rooms than previously entitled (136 total). A coastal development permit is requested for improvements within the public right-of-way including enhanced paving along Sleepy Hollow Lane. A variance is requested to construct six new elevators to meet Fire Code access requirements that will exceed the maximum building height [Laguna Beach Municipal Code ("LBMC") Sections 25.08.016, 25.20.008(D), 25.21.006(D)(2), and 25.51.010]. The City, as lead agency, has prepred an Addendum to the Pacific Edge Hotel MND for the approval of the modified project. The Addendum evaluates the modified project and has concluded that the modified project would not result in substantial changes to the previously adopted MND because it would not involve new significant impacts, nor would it substantially increase the severity of an impact identified in the MND. The Addendum further determined that no new mitigation is required beyond those measures in the previously adopted MND.
