the date of the first sale requested in August 2019. Each sale would last up to four consecutive days. The
property is within the Coastal Zone, however, these temporary events authorized by a Limited Term Permit are
exempt from the requirement of a Coastal Development Permit pursuant to Section 21.52.035 D. (Special and
Temporary Events) of the Municipal Code.
Applicant/owner Jamal Abdelmuti, 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, questioned as to
whether this is the correct process for this type of use. Seeing that no one else from the public wished to
comment, the public hearing was closed.
Staff explained that the Limited Term Permit process is the correct process that is intended for special amenities
for a limited amount of time outside the usual operation but in conjunction with the existing retail operation. A
Special Event Permit would not allow reoccurring sales throughout a year. Ms. Whelan confirmed there is no
restriction on the number of Limited Term Permits allowed and this type of permit is required to go through the
public hearing process.

Liane Schuller, Planning Consultant, provided a brief project description stating that the project site is located
in the R-1 zone and is currently developed with a single-family residence and garage. The applicant is
requesting to demolish the existing residence and construct a new approximately 3,600-square-foot single-
family residence with an attached three-car garage. A coastal development permit is required because the
property is located in the coastal zone. The project complies with all development standards. Public coastal
access is provided and will continue to be provided by street ends throughout the neighborhood. There is no
intensification of use that creates increased demand for access or recreation opportunities. Ms. Schuller added
additional language to the resolution to clarify the proposed California Environmental Quality Act exemption.
Applicant Ryan McDaniel of Brandon Architects, on behalf of the owner, stated that they had reviewed the draft
resolution and agree with all of the required conditions.

landscape improvements. Condition No. 25 has been included in the resolution requiring the property owner’s
cooperation in removing unpermitted development if deemed appropriate in the future.
