Site Location: 407 North Bay Front Council District 5
Liane Schuller, Planning Consultant, provided a brief project description stating that the project site is located

requesting approval to demolish the existing single family development and construct a new approximately
2,500-square-foot, single-family residence and attached two-car garage. Ms. Schuller further explained that
there is no intensification of use that would create an increased demand for access and recreation
opportunities, and the project does not affect or alter current coastal access conditions. Vertical and lateral
access to the oceanfront is provided and will continue to be provided by street ends throughout the
neighborhood with access to the public boardwalk and sandy beach areas along the waterfront. The project
complies with all applicable development standards, including the standards and approval requirements of

The property is separated from the ocean by a public boardwalk and City-owned concrete bulkhead which
is part of a larger bulkhead system that surrounds Balboa Island.
