Page 3 of 4
Applicant Ian Harrison, on behalf of the owner, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with
all of the required conditions.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. One member of the public, Jim Mosher, expressed
concerns with the amount of floor area and massing that is achieved while the floor area standards of the
Zoning Code allow for 1.5 times the buildable area plus 200 square feet for parking. Mr. Mosher asked staff
how floor area is regulated. Seeing that no one else from the public wished to comment, the public hearing was
closed.
Staff explained that the proposed floor area is consistent with the Zoning Code allowance and has been
reviewed by staff. Additionally, the applicant has provided floor area calculation sheets in the plans to
demonstrate compliance.
Action: Approved
ITEM NO. 6 Mulflur Residential Condominiums Coastal Development Permit No. CD2019-031
and Tentative Parcel Map No. NP2019-010 (PA2019-104)
Site Location: 512 and 512 ½ Begonia Avenue Council District 6
Joselyn Perez, Planning Technician, provided a brief project description stating that the request is for a tentative
parcel map for two-unit condominium purposes. An existing duplex will be demolished and a new duplex will
be constructed. The Tentative Parcel Map would allow each unit to be sold individually. The Tentative Parcel
Map also requires the approval of a Coastal Development Permit pursuant to Title 21 Local Coastal Program
Implementation Plan in the Municipal Code. The proposed project will be consistent with all development
standards in the zoning code and the local coastal implementation program including height, setbacks, parking,
and floor area. Additionally, the project is conditioned to have public improvements.
Applicant William Rolph of Civilscapes Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the owner, stated that he had reviewed
the draft resolution and asked for clarification for the undergrounding of all utilities in Condition No. 9.
The Zoning Administrator clarified that the undergrounding of utilities applies to private utilities on the subject
lot to the point of City’s connection. Mr. Rolph concurred with all of the required conditions of resolution.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. One member of the public, Jim Mosher, commented that
there is an undergrounding utility district in Corona Del Mar. Mr. Mosher also commented that Finding K on
page 11 of the staff report should be updated to reference the California Code of Regulations rather than Title
24. Seeing that no one else from the public wished to comment, the public hearing was closed.
Action: Approved
ITEM NO. 7 944 Via Lido Nord House Demolition Coastal Development Permit No. CD2018-111
(PA2018-279)
Site Location: 944 Via Lido Nord Council District 1
Joselyn Perez, Planning Technician, provided a brief project description stating that the request is for a Coastal
Development Permit to allow the demolition of an existing single-family residence and the improvement of a
private lawn area. The proposed lawn improvements consist of the installation of approximately 4,000 square
feet of both landscape and hardscape areas. The existing property line walls, cantilevered patio, dock, and
existing bulkhead will not be demolished and will be left in their current locations. Subsequent construction of
a replacement dwelling or any development not included in this coastal development permit will require a
separate coastal development permit at a later date.
Ms. Perez then stated that staff received correspondence in support of the project and that the document is
available for review as supplemental material.
