COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR ACTION LETTER
APPLICATION: Ataii Demolition Staff Approval No. SA2019-002 (PA2019-
018)
APPLICANT: Rod Jeheber
LOCATION: 914 East Ocean Front, Units A, B and C
LEGAL DESCRIPTION Lot 22 in Block 14 Balboa Tract (excepting alley
dedication)
On February 8, 2019, the Community Development Director approved Staff Approval No.
SA2019-002 authorizing the demolition of a three-unit residence (triplex) in compliance with
Zoning Code Chapter 20.34 and Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan Chapter
21.34 (Conversion or Demolition of Affordable Housing).
LAND USE AND ZONING
General Plan: RT (Two-Unit Residential)
Zoning District: R-2 (Two-Unit Residential)
Coastal Land Use Category: RT-D (Two-Unit Residential – 20.0-29.9 DU/AC)
Coastal Zoning District: R-2 (Two-Unit Residential)
SUMMARY
A staff approval for determination of compliance with Zoning Code Chapter 20.34, Local
Coastal Program Implementation Plan Chapter 21.34, and the Mello Act (Government
Code Section 65590). The property owner proposes to demolish an existing non-
conforming triplex to accommodate future redevelopment of the property into one
conforming single-family residence.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Zoning Code Section 20.34.020 (Review Authority), the Director shall make a
determination as to the applicability of this chapter when a residential structure of three or
more units is to be converted or demolished. If it is determined that any of the units are
occupied by low- or moderate-income tenants, provisions for their replacement shall be
provided, if feasible. If applicable and based on the documentation provided in compliance
with Section 20.34.060 (Determining Requirements for Replacement Units), the Director
shall make determinations as to:
Ataii Demolition (PA2019-018)
February 8, 2019
Page 2
1. How many units were occupied by low- and moderate-income persons or families;
2. Whether the conversion or demolition proposes to go from residential to
nonresidential and if so, whether the proposed new use is coastal dependent;
3. Whether a feasibility analysis is required to be prepared;
4. The feasible number of affordable units required to be replaced, if any; and
5. Whether the required replacement affordable units are to be located on-site or off-
site.
In this particular case, the property owner has provided documentation stating that the units
are not and were not occupied by low- and moderate-income families or persons. According
to the property owner, the subject property has not been occupied since September 2017.
The applicant has stated that no persons or families were evicted within one year prior to
the filing of an application to demolish the units. The owner has provided a notarized
acknowledgement stating that they understand the requirements of the Mello Act and that
the foregoing statements provided are true and correct (CD2). Therefore, there is no
conversion of residential to nonresidential, and there is no evidence that the units are and/or
were occupied by low- and moderate-income families or persons; thus, no further analysis
is required.
APPEAL PERIOD: An appeal or call for review may be filed with the Director of Community
Development or the City Clerk, as applicable, within fourteen days following the date the
action or decision was rendered. For additional information on filing an appeal, contact the
Planning Division at 949-644-3200.
