Action: Committee approved draft minutes.
Vote: Consensus
2. Agenda Item No. 2 — Coastal Land Use Plan Amendment: Progress
Staff member Jim Campbell provided a progress report on
responding to the 53 Coastal Commission suggested modifications.
There were four issues outstanding issues between the City Staff and
the Coastal Commission that Campbell has been working to resolve,
two of which appear to have been resolved. The four issues are
prohibition of timeshares in the CV designation, mitigation fees for
eliminating lower-cost accommodations or the provision of higher -
cost accommodations, mixed-use residential in Mariners Mile, and
allowing re -development within Corona Del Mar and Balboa Village.
The two issues that appear to be resolved are for the re -development
policy for Corona Del Mar and Balboa Village with amended language
that will be more flexible and mixed-use residential in Mariners Mile.
Coastal Commission staff will accept the possibility for fifty -percent of
the properties within this area to be used for mixed-use development
with residential only occurring on the second floor.

provided by staff. Committee member Hawkins provided General
Plan policies related to the protection of Historical Resources and a
letter that provided an example of notifications and protections in
connection with residential developments in mixed use areas. After
discussion of each item the Committee and Advisory Members
discussed and directed staff to:

offices only allowed on second floor, resolution — take a look at

on the ground floor for mixed -uses, public view protection (number

• re -look at Council Policies K-2 (Places of Historical and
Architectural Significance), K-4 (Paleontological Guidelines), K-5
(Archeological Guidelines) and update accordingly to implement
General Plan Policies in the Historical Resources Element to
provide historical resource protection, resolution — do not codify
residential parking requirements resolution — 4,000 square feet of
habitable area, regardless of lot width, is threshold for requiring a
third parking space for new single-family residences
delete "and maintenance" before "of public parking facilities." in
the first sentence of Subsection 20.30.10 In -lieu Parking Fees
revise language of Subsection 20.60.130 Mixed -Use Noise and
Tenant Notification — include recordation requirement
