3. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
ITEM NO. 1 Demler Residence - Modification Permit No. MD2012 -009 (PA2012 -060)
23 Linda Isle CD 2
Kay Sims, Assistant Planner, gave a brief overview of the application for a modification permit to allow the
third required garage parking space to be located on the 20 -foot driveway. The third garage space is
required because proposed additions to the existing home will result in a residence that exceeds 4,000
square feet. She gave a brief description of Linda Isle as a gated- community and its uniqueness relating
to the original development of the island with guest parking spaces and 20- foot - driveways provided on
each property. She gave a brief overview of some of the facts of finding that supported approval of the
project including: the Zoning Code permits the relocation of required parking spaces with approval of a
modification permit by the Zoning Administrator, and allows parking in front setback areas that have
garages set back a minimum 20 feet from the front property line; Linda Isle doesn't experience the beach
traffic and related parking issues of a typical beach community; approving the relocation of the third
required parking space in the driveway will maintain the two community association guest parking spaces
on the site; requiring the third parking space to be located in the garage would require a significant
remodel of the existing house to relocate the existing kitchen area; and the proposed additions would
result in a residence similar in scale to the other residences on Linda Isle.
Ms. Sims stated that she recommended two changes to the Conditions of Approval: 1) add a condition
requiring approval of Coastal Commission; 2) correct condition no. 6 with the correct project numbers.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. The project applicant, Mr. John Garcia, representing the
owner of the property, stated that he was a member of the community association's architectural committee
and verified that he understood and accepted all of the conditions of approval.
There were no other public comments.
Zoning Administrator Wisneski approved the application and adopted the resolution with the recommended
changes to the Conditions of Approval stating that she agreed with the facts in support of the findings in the
draft resolution.
Action: Approved
