PROJECT SUMMARY
Staff requests this item be removed from calendar. A biological survey has confirmed that
a wetland is present within 100 feet of the project site. Due to the proximity of the wetland,
the Coastal Act stipulates that the project is appealable to the Coastal Commission even
though the site is not mapped as an area subject to the Coastal Commission appeal.
Therefore, a new public notice that includes additional information regarding appeals to
the Coastal Commission, as required by the Local Coastal Program must be prepared.
Staff anticipates this project will be scheduled for the October 17, 2019 Planning
Commission meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
1) Remove from calendar to allow for re-noticing in compliance with the Coastal Act.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item was continued to a date certain from its initial scheduled hearing date of August
22, 2019. A new public notice will be distributed in anticipation of the next public hearing
(tentatively October 17, 2019).
