AGENDA BILL

Meeting Date: 2/24/15 CONSENT

SUBJECT: LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 14-2477 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 14-2478 (2540 BONITA WAY)

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER: The proposal is to merge two commonly-owned building sites (APNs:

656-136-04 and 656-134-05) that consist of four subdivided lots (Lots 7 and 8 of Block 28, Lot 1 of Block

33, and Lot BB of Tract No. 26 - Pacific View Tract). Lots 7 and 8 are developed with a single-family

residence and an attached carport that was constructed in 1966 and Lot 1 and Lot BB are vacant. On

November 6, 2014, the applicant obtained Board of Adjustment/Design Review approval for a new pool

and spa on Lot 1 and Lot BB. The proposed merged parcel is approximately 5,100 square feet in lot size,

120 lineal feet of street frontage and has approximately 45 feet of lot depth. The subject properties are

located within the R-1 (Residential Low Density) Zone, for which the minimum lot requirements are 6,000

square feet of lot area, 70 feet of lot width and 80 feet of lot depth. Both of the current building sites are

legal nonconforming in regard to lot depth, width and area.

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 21.08.030(0, a Lot Line Adjustment can be approved by the City

Council for the purposes of consolidating lots if the parcels proposed to be adjusted comply with all of the

applicable zoning regulations or, in the case of existing legal nonconforming lots, do not significantly or

adversely increase the extent of such nonconformity (emphasis added). Although the proposed lot line

adjustment will not result in a conforming R-1 Zone lot, the final configuration nevertheless will result in

an improvement over existing conditions and therefore is consistent with the intent of the Municipal Code.

In addition, the proposal reduces neighborhood density from two building sites to one.

Because a lot line adjustment is considered "development" under the Coastal Act, a Coastal Development

Permit (CDP) is required for the request. Two findings will need to be made to support approval of a CDP:

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

Adopt the Resolution approving Lot Line Adjustment 14-2477 and Coastal Development Permit 14-2478

for the property located at 2540 Bonita Way.

Lot Line Adjustment 14-2477 February 24, 2015 Page 2

1. The project is in conformity with all the applicable provisions of the General Plan including the Certified Local Coastal program and any applicable specific plans.

The proposed project is consistent with the standards for lot line adjustments set forth in the Municipal Code, is consistent with the intended primarily uses for the R-1 Zone, results in the lot size of the property being more compatible with the minimum area, and result in the elimination of a nonconforming building site.

2. The proposed development will not have any significant adverse impacts on the environment within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The proposed project qualifies for a "Class 5" categorical exemption from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines, which encompasses minor alterations to land use limitations and specifically includes minor lot line adjustments. There are no unusual circumstances evidencing that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment.

The City Council's determination of the CDP is not appealable to the Coastal Commission.

In summary, the proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code and

the California Subdivision Map Act. Staff has no objections to this request and recommends approval of the application by adoption of the attached Resolution, which recites all of the required findings.
