EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The project site is currently developed with a single-story single-family residence featuring a four-car garage and a second unit located above the garage. The property is relatively flat, with an average slope of approximately 2.32 percent. Vehicular access is taken from the alley at the rear of the property.
The proposed project includes both lower- and upper-level additions to the existing single-family residence, extension of an elevated deck of the existing second unit, a barbecue area with a patio cover, landscaping, hardscape, exterior modifications to both the primary residence and second unit, and right-of-way improvements (the “Project”).
The proposed residential additions are limited to a 31-square-foot expansion at the lower level and a 637- square-foot addition to create a new second story for the single-family residence. Additionally, approximately 311 square feet of the existing first floor will be demolished to increase open space.
No habitable expansion is proposed for the second unit. A 6-square-foot expansion of the existing deck is proposed at the rear of the property. The expansion would extend the existing deck further toward the rear.
The deck, including the proposed expansion, would continue to serve as the primary entry to the second unit located above the garage.
Design review is required for the upper-level addition, elevated deck, landscaping, new windows/doors, and exterior modifications for both single family residence and second unit/garage.
A revocable encroachment permit is required for the proposed gate, fencing/wall, and pilasters located within the public right-of-way. The height of the improvements are limited to 3’ tall, consistent with the standards outline in the LBMC 11.50 and have been reviewed by Public Works Department.
The project incorporates architectural elements that break up the proposed massing to reduce perceived massing. Notwithstanding this, the proposed upper-level addition raises view equity concerns from neighbors as the upper-level addition would reduce their existing ocean horizon view. Staff notes, however, that the applicable design review criteria speaks to the concept of view equity rather than view preservation and the proposed upper-level addition does not fully obstruct the existing ocean view and neighboring properties retain views of the ocean the southeast. Additionally, the project is neighborhood compatible as the surrounding properties features second story homes.
Based on the analysis, staff finds that the required findings for approval can be made and recommends that the Design Review Board approve the proposed project.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Site History
The subject property is Lot 22 of the Laguna Cliffs Tract, which was recorded on December 8, 1911. The lot measures roughly 49 feet wide and 122 feet deep and has an approximate area of 6,121 square feet. The property is relatively flat with a slope of 2.32%. The project site is located in the R-2, Village Medium Density, Zoning District and is improved with a single-family residence and a second unit situated above two adjacent two-car garages. Vehicular access to the property is provided via the rear alley. Pedestrian access is provided via the public sidewalk along Locust Street.
The property was first improved with a single-family home. The original permit is not found in the city files.
On October 1988, the Design Review Board approved DR 88-254 for a four-car garage with a second unit located above, which is accessed via an external staircase located on the south side. Since then, there have been no other Design Review cases.
There is an approximate 20’ by 38’ space located between the SFR and garage/second unit serves as the courtyard open space.
Staff visited the project site on April 30, 2026, and found the property to be in substantial conformance with its permit history.
There are no code enforcement actions pending for the property.
Proposed Project
The proposed project includes both lower- and upper-level additions to the existing single-family residence.
At the lower level, a 31-square-foot addition is proposed at the front and rear of the residence to expand the 1 Proposed additions (lower and upper levels) and deck are outside of the required front yard setback. 2 Proposed additions (lower and upper levels) and decks are outside of the required side yard setbacks. 107

Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
kitchen and a bedroom. The project introduces a new 637 square foot upper level above the existing singlestory residence. As part of the project, approximately 311 square feet of the existing first floor at the rear of the structure will be demolished to reduce the building footprint and comply with open space requirements.
Based on these modifications, the total floor area of the single-family residence will be 1,903 square feet3 .
With the addition of the upper level, the height of the residence will increase from approximately 16 feet to approximately 23 feet, which is comparable to the existing second unit above the four-car garage at approximately 22 feet.
A 6-square-foot elevated deck expansion is proposed for the existing second unit located above the garage at the rear of the property. The deck will increase from 61 square feet to 67 square feet and will continue to serve as an entry deck to the unit. No habitable expansion is proposed.
Figure 1: Proposed South Elevation
The single-family residence and the garage/second unit will undergo exterior improvements, including new roofing, windows and doors, paint, and stucco finishes. The proposed roofing consists primarily of cedar shake, with a limited portion of metal copper roofing used as an accent at the front of the residence. The improvements are designed to create a cohesive appearance across both structures through the use of consistent materials, colors, and architectural detailing.
The open area between the single-family residence and garage/second unit will serve as the primary location for backyard improvements. Proposed improvements include decks less than three feet above grade, new hardscape, fencing, and a barbecue area with a trellis. The trellis, which is approximately 10.5 feet in height, is located outside of the required setback area. The project complies with the open space requirement by providing 1,286 square feet, where a minimum of 1,134 square feet is required.
Because the project includes an upper-level addition, landscaping plan review is required. The site does not have a previously approved landscape plan by the Design Review Board. The proposed landscaping plan has been reviewed and approved by the City’s Landscape Architect. Landscaping is proposed throughout the site and includes a combination of trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Five olive trees are proposed—four 3 1,546 square feet existing, minus 311 square feet demolished, plus 31 square feet added at the lower level, and 637 square feet added at the upper level.

in the front yard and one in the rear yard—and will be maintained at a maximum height of 15 feet. The remainder of the landscaping consists of shrubs and low-growing trees.
Right-of-way improvements are also proposed and have been reviewed by the Public Works Department.
These improvements include pilasters, a gate, and a wood fence/cement wall located within the public rightof-way. The cement wall combined with wood fencing details on top will be limited to a maximum height of three feet, consistent with the development standards for a revocable encroachment permit. The gate and pilasters are also limited to three feet in height.
ENTITLEMENTS: Included within this staff report is an analysis of the project’s design review and revocable encroachment permit applications.
Design Review
The following elements require design review: upper-level addition, elevated deck, landscaping, windows/doors, and exterior modifications (see LBMC Section 25.05.040(B)(1)(j), (p), (3), (a)(xi)(3), (3)(a)(ii), and (2)(d)). Design review is governed by Laguna Beach Municipal Code Section 25.05.040.
Design Review is considered by the Design Review Board at a duly noticed public hearing where the following findings are considered in relation to the proposed development:
Finding No. 1: Physical improvements and site developments related to the Project are designed and located in a manner in overall consistency with the design review criteria specified in Section 25.05.040(H), as set forth below:
1. Access. Conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians and other modes of transportation should be minimized by specifically providing for each applicable mode of transportation. Handicapped access shall be provided as required by applicable statutes.
The project’s vehicular access is provided via the alley at the rear of the property. The existing garage and alley configuration will remain unchanged as part of this project. While a new fence, gate, and pilasters are proposed within the right-of-way near Locust Street, there would be no impacts to pedestrian access along Locust Street, as the improvements would remain located behind the fire hydrant, which marks the edge of the usable sidewalk width.
2. Design Articulation: Within the allowable building envelope, the appearance of building and retaining wall mass should be minimized. Articulation techniques including, but not limited to, separation, offsets, terracing and reducing the size of any one element in the structure may be used to reduce the appearance of mass.
The proposed improvements are within the allowable building envelope. The second-story addition has a maximum height of approximately 23 feet, which is below the 25-foot height limit. The project incorporates various architectural elements such as varied roof forms and changes in building planes to create visual separation and avoid large, uninterrupted façades. These design choices create visual interest of the building’s massing that help it be perceived in smaller increments. Windows and doors are distributed across all elevations, providing additional visual relief. The use of various materials, 109
110 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
including smooth stucco, cedar shake roofing, and standing seam metal roofing, along with contrasting colors and trim, further breaks up the mass of the structure.
3. Design Integrity: Consistency with the applicant’s chosen style of architecture should be achieved by the use of appropriate materials and details. Remodels should be harmonious with the remaining existing architecture.
The exterior remodel of both the single-family residence and the second unit above the garage is designed to be cohesive, utilizing consistent materials, colors, and architectural detailing across both structures. The proposed design reflects a modern farmhouse architectural style, and the use of appropriate materials and detailing ensures consistency with this architectural approach.
Traditional elements, including shake roofing, simple gabled roof forms, and smooth stucco finishes, are combined with contemporary features such as standing seam metal roofing, dark bronze window and door trim, and clean-lined detailing. The coordinated use of light stucco, darker trim, and natural wood accents creates a balanced and unified appearance. The remodel is harmonious with the existing architecture on-site, as well as between the two structures, resulting in a cohesive design that is consistent with the applicant’s chosen architectural style.
4. Environmental Context: Development should preserve and, where possible, enhance the city’s scenic natural setting. Natural features, such as existing heritage trees, rock out-cropping, ridgelines and significant watercourses should be protected. Existing terrain should be utilized in the design and grading should be minimized.
The proposed project is located within a developed residential neighborhood, and there are no existing heritage trees, ridgelines, rock outcroppings, or significant watercourse on the site. The project site is well outside any mapped habitat. No modification to the grade is proposed.
5. General Plan Compliance: The development shall comply with all applicable policies of the General Plan, including all of its elements, applicable specific plans, and the certified local coastal program.
The project complies with the following applicable General Plan policies:
General Plan Policies
Land Use (LU) Policy 2.8 Require building design and siting to be compatible and integrated with natural topographic features, minimize significant alteration of natural topography and/or other significant onsite resources, and protect public views as specified in the Design Guidelines and the Landscape and Scenic Highways Resource Document.
The proposed project does not require grading, and no alternation of natural topography is proposed.
Public views are protected as the project would not be readily visible from public vantage points, including Locust Street, due to many of the surrounding existing developments already developed with second stories. For example, 470 Cypress and 474 Cypress, which are located south of the 110
111 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
property and are in line in sight to the ocean view, already establishing the available view corridors.
Thus, the second story addition on the property will not introduce significant view impacts from public streets. The project would narrow private views, particularly from adjacent uphill properties, that have second-story vantage points. Staff notes that the applicable design review criteria is the concept of view equity rather than view preservation and that ocean views from neighboring properties would remain toward the southeast.
LU Policy 2.10 Maximize the preservation of coastal and canyon views (consistent with the principle of view equity) from existing properties and minimize blockage of existing public and private views. Best efforts should be made to site new development in locations that minimize adverse impacts on views from public locations (e.g., roads, bluff top trails, visitor-serving facilities, etc.).
The proposed project is consistent with this policy as discussed in the Design Review Criteria for Design Articulation, Environmental Context, and Neighborhood Compatibility. The project would not be readily visible from public vantage points, including Locust Street, due to many of the surrounding existing developments already developed with second stories. For example, 470 Cypress and 474 Cypress, which are located south of the property and are in line in sight to the ocean view. Available ocean views from Locust Street and properties on Locust are already established within this context. The project would narrow private views, particularly from adjacent uphill properties, that have second-story vantage points. Staff notes that the applicable design review criteria is the concept of view equity rather than view preservation and that ocean views from neighboring properties would remain toward the southeast.
LU Policy 3.10 Require building design and siting to be compatible and integrated with natural topographic features, minimize significant alteration of natural topography or other significant onsite resources, and protect public views as specified in the Design Guidelines and Landscape and Scenic Highways Resource Document by maintaining the low-profile character of structures.
Require use of appropriate landscaping, special architectural treatments, and siting considerations for projects visible from major highways and arterial streets. Best efforts should be made to site new development in locations that minimize adverse impacts on views from public locations (e.g., roads, bluff-top trails, visitor-serving facilities, etc.).
The proposed project does not require grading, thereby maintaining the existing landform and minimizing alteration of existing topography. The subject property is located within a developed residential neighborhood, and public views from Locust Street are already influenced by existing multi-level development, mature vegetation, and intervening structures. The proposed upper-level addition, at approximately 23 feet in height, is consistent with the scale of nearby development, which features two story homes. As such, the addition would not introduce a substantial new obstruction to public views from street-level vantage points. Also, existing visual conditions— including mature trees, landscaping, and rooftops of intervening multi-story properties on Cypress Drive—already partially frame and limit ocean views from public rights-of-way.
Additionally, to further mitigate potential impacts on immediate neighbors, the applicant has selected a low-profile landscaping plan. The proposal includes five ornamental trees a with a 111
112 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
maximum maintained height of 15 feet along with various shrubs and low—growing trees. In the context of residential design, 15-foot trees are considered small-scale "understory" plantings that typically remain below the typical second story viewing elevation of adjacent homes. This height restriction ensures that landscaping provides aesthetic value and privacy without encroaching into the primary sightlines of neighboring properties. Lastly, there are no designated bluff-top trails, scenic highways, or visitor-serving public vantage points in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
LU Policy 7.3 Design and site new development to protect natural and environmentally sensitive resources, such as areas of unique scenic quality, public views, and visual compatibility with surrounding uses and to minimize natural landform alterations. (Same as Policy 10.2.) GOAL:
Protect, preserve, and enhance the community’s natural resources.
The project is designed to preserve and enhance the site’s natural and scenic qualities by minimizing landform alterations by not requiring any grading and ensuring visual compatibility with surrounding residential uses. The proposed upper-level addition is similar in height with the existing second unit with garage structure and is below the allowable building envelope.
LU Policy 7.10 Require new construction and grading to be located in close proximity to preexisting development to minimize environmental impacts and growth-inducing potential.
The project is located on an improved lot in an existing residential neighborhood. The scope of work includes additions to the existing structure and does not generate growth-inducing potential in the area, and no grading is proposed.
LU Policy 10.2 Design and site new development to protect natural and environmentally sensitive resources such as areas of unique scenic quality, public views, and visual compatibility with surrounding uses and to minimize landform alterations. (Same as Policy 7.3) GOAL: Ensure that proposals for new development, subdivisions, and major remodels are sufficiently evaluated to protect public health and safety and natural resources.
The project is designed to preserve and enhance the site’s natural and scenic qualities by minimizing landform alterations in that there is no modification of the existing grade required. Given where the additions are proposed and how they are designed, they are visually compatible with surrounding residential uses. The proposed additions are below the required building envelope, protecting the community’s natural resources and scenic character while maintaining public views.
6. Historic Preservation: Destruction or alteration to historic resources should be avoided whenever possible. See Chapter 25.45 for more information.
The subject property is not listed on the City’s Historic Register.
7. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be incorporated as an integrated part of the structure’s design and relate harmoniously to neighborhood and community landscaping themes. View equity shall be an important consideration in the landscape design. The relevant landscaping guidelines contained 112
113 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
in the City’s “Landscape and Scenic Highways Resource Document” should be incorporated, as appropriate, in the design and planned maintenance of proposed landscaping.
Although no previously approved landscape plan exists for the property, a landscape plan is required because the proposed addition exceeds 15 feet in height. Landscaping plan has been reviewed by the City’s architect per “Landscape and Scenic Highways Resource Document” to ensure appropriate design and proper maintenance.
Landscaping is proposed throughout the site and includes a mix of trees, shrubs, and ground covers.
Five olive trees are proposed—four in the front yard and one in the rear yard—and will be maintained at a maximum height of 15 feet. The remainder of the landscaping consists of shrubs and lowgrowing trees. The proposed olive trees are not anticipated to create significant potential view impacts as the coastline view is already established by the multi-story developments along Cypress Drive, which are taller than 15 feet in height. The project therefore maintains a reasonable balance between privacy and view preservation. Rest of the landscaping consists of shrubs and low-growing trees. “Little Ragu” Sweet Bay, maintained at approximately 6 feet in height, are proposed along both side property lines to provide privacy from adjacent properties.
8. Lighting and Glare: Adequate lighting for individual and public safety shall be provided in a manner which does not significantly impact neighboring properties. Reflective materials and appurtenances that cause glare or a negative visual impact (e.g., skylights, white rock roofs, highgloss ceramic tile roofs, reflective glass, etc.) should be avoided or mitigated to a level of insignificance in those locations where those surfaces are visible from neighboring properties.
All proposed exterior materials, including metal roof, shake cedar roof, and stucco finish are nonreflective to minimize glare and visual impacts. The project includes eleven (11) new low-wattage fixtures near doorways and twenty-five (25) landscaping lights with low lumens. All exterior lighting is directed downward to provide adequate illumination while preventing light spillover onto neighboring properties All lighting will comply with the City’s Good Neighbor Outdoor Lighting Ordinance (LBMC Chapter 7.70).
9. Neighborhood Compatibility: Development shall be compatible with the existing development in the neighborhood and respect neighborhood character. Neighborhood character is the sum of the qualities that distinguish areas within the City, including historical patterns of development (e.g., structural heights, mass, scale or size), village atmosphere, landscaping themes and architectural styles.
The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, which is characterized by a mix of one- and two-story single-family residences exhibiting both traditional and contemporary architectural styles. Specifically, the opposite side of the street contains more one-story homes, while the same side of the street as the project site includes a greater number of two-story residences. The exterior remodel incorporates materials and design elements that are consistent with this neighborhood character, including smooth finish stucco and shake roofing, which are commonly found on nearby properties.
113
114 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
The project also introduces subtle contemporary elements, such as a metal roof accent, which enhances the architectural design while remaining compatible with the surrounding context. Overall, the combination of traditional and modern materials reflects the existing development pattern and contributes to a cohesive neighborhood appearance.
The addition of a new second story is also consistent with the neighborhood, as two-story residences are common in the vicinity. The placement of the second-story elements toward the front of the lot further reflects a pattern observed on nearby properties along the street.
10. Pedestrian Orientation: Commercial development design shall enhance and encourage pedestrian uses. Incorporation of articulated building masses, compact open spaces and courtyards, mixed use developments, use of landscaping as part of design, and orientation to pedestrian access should be maximized.
Design Review Criteria for Pedestrian Orientation is related to commercial development and this residential project is not subject to these criteria.
11. Privacy: The placement of activity areas (e.g., decks, picture windows and ceremonial or entertainment rooms) in locations that would result in a substantial invasion of privacy of neighboring properties should be minimized.
The north and south elevations of the property are adjacent to neighboring residential properties.
The west elevation faces the alley, and the east elevation fronts the street. At the first level of the single-family residence, the number of windows along the north elevation will decrease from six to three, thereby reducing potential overlook opportunities. Additionally, shrubs maintained at approximately 6 feet in height are proposed along the shared north property line to provide visual screening and further mitigate potential privacy impacts. Along the south elevation, four new window openings are proposed at the first level; however, an existing fence along the shared property line provides screening and helps minimize potential privacy concerns.
With the upper-level addition, one new window is proposed along the north elevation, which is limited in number and not anticipated to result in significant privacy impacts. Along the south elevation, four new windows are proposed; however, the adjacent property does not have a second story in the area facing the proposed addition. Additionally, the adjoining lot contains a narrow side yard that extends along the length of the shared property line. Views from the proposed second story into the neighboring property would be limited and oblique and therefore do not raise privacy concerns.
The proposed deck expansion associated with the second unit serves as a small entry landing and is not designed to function as a high-activity gathering space. The deck extension would overlook the narrow side yard of the adjacent lot. However, since this deck overlooks a narrow side yard that serves as a passageway, views would be limited and not directly into living areas. Lastly, windows are proposed along the north side of the garage. Because the garage is a non-habitable space with limited and intermittent use, these windows are not expected to result in significant privacy impacts. 114

Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
12. Public Art: Public art is encouraged and shall be displayed where feasible or required by the Art in Public Places ordinance.
Design Review Criteria for Public Art is related to commercial development and this residential project is not subject to these criteria.
13. Sign Quality: Signs shall be incorporated into the architecture of the structure and shall be made of high quality materials, be simple in design and be visually compatible with the surrounding physical environment in terms of color, scale and size. Use of natural materials in the construction of signs is encouraged.
Design Review Criteria for Signage is related to commercial development and this residential project is not applicable to these criteria.
14. Sustainability: New development should consider architecture and building practices which minimize environmental impacts and enhance energy efficiency by: (a) reducing energy needs of buildings by proper site and structural design; (b) increasing the building’s ability to capture or generate energy; (c) using low-impact, sustainable and recycled building materials; (d) using the latest Best Management Practices regarding waste and water management; and (e) reducing site emissions.
New construction is required to meet Title 24 energy and Building Code requirements, which include insulated windows and energy efficient lighting. The applicant will be required to provide proof of compliance. Further, the applicant will be required to reuse, recycle, or divert at least 65 percent of the project’s construction and demolition debris.
15. Swimming Pools, Spas, and Water Features: Swimming pools, spas and water features shall be located, designed and constructed where: (a) geology conditions allow; (b) noise produced by circulatory mechanical pumps and equipment is mitigated; and (c) any associated fencing or other site improvements are compatible with neighboring properties.
No existing or proposed swimming pool, spa, or water feature is included in the project scope.
16. View Equity: The development, including its landscaping, shall be designed to protect existing views from neighboring properties without denying the subject property the reasonable opportunity to develop as described and illustrated in the City’s “Design Guidelines.” The “Design Guidelines” are intended to balance preservation of views with the right to develop property.
The proposed development has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s View Equity criteria, which seeks to balance the protection of existing views from neighboring properties with the reasonable opportunity for development of the subject site.
The project results in impacts to private views, particularly from adjacent properties with secondstory vantage points. Specifically, the project narrows private views, particularly from adjacent uphill properties, that have second-story vantage points. Staff notes that the applicable design review 115
116 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
criteria is the concept of view equity rather than view preservation and that ocean views from neighboring properties would remain toward the southeast. The figure below shows the view corridor from 352 Locust’s elevated deck.
Figure 2: View corridors from 352 Locust Street’s deck looking south As shown in Figure 2 above, the proposed project, as represented through staking, does not obstruct the entire ocean horizon. The project primarily affects views to the west; however, this western view corridor is a number of vertical visual obstructions.
As seen in the figure, mature vegetation—including a large centrally located tree within the view corridor—along with surrounding landscaping and the rooftops of neighboring structures, already partially interrupt and frame the ocean view. Specifically, the multi-story properties at 460 Cypress Drive and 470 Cypress Drive, located south of the subject site, obstruct portions of the western ocean view. As a result, ocean views from Locust Street and adjacent properties are already experienced as segmented and narrowed view corridors rather than a continuous panoramic ocean vista. Within this existing context, the proposed project does overlap portions of the western view corridors and would further reduce certain view openings. However, these views are already constrained and fragmented by existing development and vegetation conditions.
Furthermore, the applicant has proposed an upper-level addition at approximately 23.78 feet in height, which is more than one foot below the maximum allowable height of 25 feet. By maintaining a building height below the permitted maximum and aligning the upper-level massing with the reduced first-story building footprint, the development is consistent with the established neighborhood scale of predominantly one- and two-story homes. This design approach helps ensure that impacts to neighboring sightlines remain within a reasonable and anticipated range associated with residential development.
Lastly, while the proposed project intersects portions of existing view corridors, the project does not extend across the full extent of the visible ocean horizon. Ocean views to the southeast (left of the project) remain. Accordingly, the proposed project does not encompass or fully obstruct the existing ocean views experienced from the referenced vantage points. Therefore, while a narrowing of private 116
117 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
views, particularly from adjacent uphill properties that have second-story vantage points would occur, staff notes that the applicable design review criteria is the concept of view equity rather than view preservation and that ocean views from neighboring properties would remain to the southeast.
Finding No. 2. The physical improvements and site developments related to the Project are designed and located in a manner in overall consistency with all other applicable design guidelines.
The project is consistent with the Residential Design Review Guidelines, as explained above.
Finding No. 3. The physical improvements and site developments related to the Project are characterized by appropriately scaled development, diverse and unique architectural designs, pedestrian orientation, and sensitivity to the natural conditions of the site.
See the Findings above for Design Review Criteria 2, 3, 4, and 9 regarding design articulation, design integrity, environmental context, and neighborhood compatibility, with the facts provided therein incorporated here by this reference.
Finding No. 4. The project is consistent with any specific plan or any other specific zoning design review criteria.
The property is not located in a specific plan area is not subject to additional design review criteria.
REVOCABLE ENCROACHMENT PERMIT
The applicant requests an approval of a revocable encroachment permit (Attachment 4) to construct and maintain a gate, pilasters, and fencing/wall in the public right-of-way. A revocable encroachment permit may be granted by the Design Review Board if the improvements will not interfere with the present and prospective public use of a street or right-of-way and will generally conform to the following requirements:
Finding No. 1: It should be located in a manner that is not hazardous to the traveling public, including motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.
The project is located and designed so as not to create hazards for motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians. All improvements within the public right-of-way are limited in scope and have been reviewed and approved by Public Works. The proposed cement wall with wood fencing on top, pilasters, and gate are capped at 3’ in height, minor in scale. No structures obstruct sight lines, impede vehicular turning movements, or interfere with pedestrian paths as the improvements are proposed behind the fire hydrant, which is aligned with the existing sidewalk. As conditioned, the project will comply with all applicable Public Works standards, ensuring safe and orderly use of the public right-of-way
Finding No. 2: It should be sufficiently set back from the edge of pavement or street centerline to provide adequate travel, parking, and walking lanes.
117
118 of 803
Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
The proposed improvements maintain appropriate setbacks from the edge of pavement and street centerline in accordance with Public Works requirements and existing roadway conditions. The fire hydrant along the frontage serves as a visual indicator of the effective sidewalk width, and the proposed improvements are located behind the hydrant and outside of the pedestrian path of travel.
As such, no impacts to pedestrian circulation are anticipated. In addition, no impacts to parking or vehicular access are expected, as the garage is accessed from the rear alley located behind the residence.
Finding No. 3: It should not conflict with preexisting public utility structures, especially hydrants, vault and service meters in any manner that necessitates relocation thereof at public expense or causes any other unacceptable interference, including impediments to the maintenance, relocation or repair of pipelines, conduits, or substructures of any public utility.
No improvements are proposed that would require the relocation of hydrants, vaults, service meters, or other public utility facilities at public expense. All work within the right-of-way will be reviewed and approved by Public Works and applicable utility providers to ensure continued access for maintenance, repair, and emergency services. As conditioned, the project will not impede utility operations or infrastructure integrity.
Finding No. 4: It will not preclude public access, use or enjoyment of any area that has historically established such access, use or enjoyment.
The proposed improvements occur in areas that are already paved and utilized for pedestrian access.
No public access points, pathways, or historically used areas are obstructed or eliminated as a result of the project.
Finding No. 5: It is not precedent setting in nature to the extent that it creates a noticeable projection into the streetscape as established by existing construction and improvements on neighboring properties.
The proposed improvements are not precedent setting, as they do not introduce new or atypical projections into the streetscape. The proposed fencing, gate, and pilasters within the right-of-way are consistent in scale, height, and placement with similar improvements observed on neighboring properties. At least two nearby properties include comparable low-height fencing elements within the right-of-way, demonstrating an established pattern of development along the street. Additionally, the proposed improvements are limited in height and maintain visual openness, ensuring that they do not create a noticeable projection or obstruction within the streetscape.
Finding No. 6: It does not create structures of unusual or unacceptable appearance, form, shape or height that detract from the general quality of the streetscape.
The design incorporates materials and finishes, including wood fencing and gates and complementary cement finishes, that are consistent with the architectural character of the residence and surrounding neighborhood. The proposed gate, pilasters, and fencing are typical streetscape elements commonly found in residential areas and are designed at a scale and height that is 118

Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 5/14/2026
compatible with neighboring properties. The improvements maintain visual cohesion with the existing development pattern and do not introduce irregular forms or excessive height.
Coastal Development Permit
The project does not require approval of a CDP because the proposed action is considered exempt development pursuant to LBMC Section 25.07.008, Coastal Development Permits. The proposed improvements are additions, elevated deck, fences, barbecue area with a patio cover, landscaping, exterior modifications, hardscape, and right-of-way improvements. The project would not result in an intensification of use.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, the project qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 - Existing Facilities, in that the project consists of the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing structures or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use There is no evidence of any unusual or special conditions that would result in a significant effect on the environment. Here, improvements are limited to additions, elevated deck, fences, barbecue area with a patio cover, landscaping, exterior modifications, hardscape, and right-of-way improvements.
Further, none of the exceptions outlined in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. The project site does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas. There will be no cumulative impact resulting from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time in that the improvements are proposed on a property containing an existing single-family residence with a second unit on top of a garage within an established residential neighborhood. There are no unusual circumstances resulting in a significant impact on the environment. There will be no damage to scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway as no features exist on or adjacent to the property. The project is not located on a hazardous waste site or any other site included on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5. The project will not result in significant adverse impacts to historical resources as defined by CEQA. Consequently, additional environmental analysis is not necessary to meet the requirements of the CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2026-0702 approving Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703for the property located at 332 Locust Street and find said action categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.
NOTIFICATION:
Pursuant to Title 25 (Zoning) Public Notice, a public hearing notice has been mailed at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the hearing date in accordance with Title 25. In addition, a public hearing notice has been posted on the project site at least 10 days in advance of the hearing date. 119

NAME OF SURVEYOR: __________________________
*If standard base grade elevation nails are not feasible because of the existence of rocks, paving or existing structural improvements, then the surveyor or engineer may use an alternative method of establishing horizontal and vertical control for story poles that can be observed in the field. The surveyor or engineer shall describe the control method used directly on the full-size staking plan. Such alternative methods may include painted markings. It is also recognized that sometimes it may not be feasible to set poles due to unforeseen circumstances. In that case, please identify the story poles that were not established and an explanation as to the reason.

After meeting with the owners of the LLC and the architect planning to build this investment property it became clear to us and the rest of our very long-term neighbors, that this proposed “re-model” is indeed an investment build to
maximize the owners’ profits, (as they have with 2 other properties, that they told us about), here in Laguna Beach.
The two ladies that represent the LLC will not live in this house.
It seems they have little to no concern, and certainly have no vested interest in the view preservation that we and our neighbors
have curated here in our North Laguna "Tree Streets" neighborhood that we all love so much.
Please contact us at the numbers on the attached form at your earliest convenience.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dianne and George Baskevitch

Re: Supplemental Comments to Objection to 332 Locust Street (APN 496-031-16) Design Review 2026-0702 and Revocable Encroachment Permit 2026-0703 Dear Members of the Design Review Board and Planning Staff:
I would like to submit supplemental comments regarding the recent site visit made to our home by Thomas Gibbs concerning the proposed project at 332 Locust Street. I appreciate Mr. Gibbs taking the time to visit our property and wish to ensure that our on-site discussion is reflected in the written record.
During the visit, I raised concerns regarding whether reasonable efforts had been made to mitigate view obstruction impacts to neighboring properties. In response, Mr. Gibbs informed me that the architect had attempted to balance impacts among neighboring properties and that reducing obstruction to one property would necessarily increase obstruction to another.
However, neither I nor, to my knowledge, other affected neighbors were ever contacted by the architect before the project application was submitted in order to discuss possible view mitigation alternatives. The first notice I received regarding the project was the City’s formal notice. As a result, I am concerned that assertions regarding mitigation efforts toward neighboring views may not accurately reflect any actual outreach or collaborative design process with affected property owners.
I also raised concerns that the proposed roofline appears higher and steeper than reasonably necessary and suggested that a lower roof pitch or alternative roof orientation might reduce view impacts. During the discussion, Mr. Gibbs suggested that neighboring roof pitches are considered in evaluating roof design.
However, many nearby homes visible from the site have substantially lower-pitched roofs, including homes dating back many decades. I am unaware of any provision in the applicable ordinance that permits increased view obstruction based upon surrounding roof pitches or the relative age of neighboring homes.
Additionally, I was informed that the second floor of the subject property had been stepped back from the first-floor roofline as a mitigation measure. However, that design choice does not appear to materially reduce view obstruction.
I respectfully request that the Committee independently evaluate: (1) whether the project massing and roof design are reasonably necessary; (2) whether meaningful view mitigation alternatives were adequately explored; and (3) whether the project complies with the City’s applicable view preservation and design review standards based upon the actual ordinance language and evidence in the record.
I also wish to note for the record that certain comments made during the site visit gave me concern that conclusions regarding the project’s compliance may already have been substantially formed prior to 159

I believe those were the same for me.
Board Member Gibbs:
Chair, same for me, except I also met Andrew Mariner, who's a tenant at 334 Locus.
Board Member Coveny:
Oh, I did too. Andrew Mariner, yes.
Board Member Weil:
Add that one to mine as well.
Chair Pro Tem Neev:
I did not meet with Andrew, but I met with George, Greg, and Matt.
Chair Bauta:
I did the same as Louis, Debbie, and Tom. Continuing to staff report. Thanks backwards.
Claire Park (Staff):
Good evening. Item 5.2 is a request for design review and revocable encroachment permit at 332 Locust. This is the project site. Locust Street is the street frontage and there is an alley at the rear of the lot. The lot itself is relatively flat with 2% slope. The site is developed with a one-story single family home near the frontage of the house and detached garage with a single unit on top.
This is the proposed site plan. So the project scope consists of 31 square feet lower level addition in green and 637 upper level edition in blue to the existing single family house. The upper level edition would create a new second level for the single story home. Moving on to the second unit on the back, there is no habitable expansion proposed for this unit, but there is a deck expansion which is about six square feet.
Hardscape is proposed throughout the site. The main component of the hardscape work is the new barbecue area with trellis in the middle of the site between the two units. There is also hardscape work near the front of the lot, which is mostly on grade and low walls. REP is requested for the wall and the gate in the right of way. Landscaping is also proposed, which will be covered in the later slides. This is the proposed south elevation. The blue is the upper level edition. The green shows the lower level edition and the orange is the deck expansion, which serves still as the entry deck to the second unit.
Two windows been removed since the agenda was posted after some potential privacy impacts.

This is the colored elevation. Both structures on the lot, existing single family home and the garage with the second unit on top will go through exterior renovations with new roofing, stucco color doors and new window trims. This is the rendering. So highlighted in orange is the revocable encroachment permit work. They are limit walls, fences, gates and plasters all limited to three feet, which is consistent with the REP provisions of the chapter in our code and has been reviewed by our public work staff. This is the proposed landscaping plan.
The most notable landscaping here are the five olive trees, which are capped at 15 feet. Rest are all low growing shrubs and plants. And as discussed in the staff report, the landscaping appears to be view equity compliant and also the plan's been reviewed by our city's landscape architect. There has been view equity concerns documented regarding the proposed upper level addition. As discussed in the staff report, the applicable design review criteria is the concept of view equity, not view preservation.
Please note that view corridors for properties along Locust Street are already primarily established by multi-story structures and landscaping on Cypress Drive. Height of these structures range from 18 feet to 20 feet. The proposed addition is at around 23 feet, which is also below the maximum height allow for the zone, which is 25 feet. Here's the view of the staking of the upper level edition from a neighboring deck. As discussed in the staff report, the upper level edition does obscure views to the west. However, these western quarters already have existing vertical visual obstructions such as buildings on Cypress Drive entries and also ocean views to the east of the upper level edition appears to remain and are unobstructed.
Thus, staff's conclusion is that the project complies with design review guidelines and is compatible with the neighborhood and will improve aesthetics and will not adversely impact view equity and also complies with all Laguna Beach code standards. Staff's recommendations to adopt resolution 2026-0702 approving design view 2026-0702 and removal encroachment permit 2026-0703 and the finding project exempt from CEQA 15301. Thank you.
Chair Bauta:
Thank you, Claire. Does the board have any questions of staff? Seeing none, the public comment is now declared open. If anyone wishes to speak on this item, please come up.
Chair Pro Tem Neev:
The applicant.
Chair Bauta:
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The applicant team has five minutes for their presentation.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Appreciate that. [inaudible 00:07:09] here?
Paula (Staff):
Yep.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Okay. I think Claire's bringing it up. I'll keep it short. I think Claire did a great job of explaining the project's concept. The primary goal of this project is to improve a home on the street that needs it and to do it in a way that is compatible with the character of the street. And so we've taken some measures 163

to accomplish that. Well, first of all, I'm Matt, principal at Alder James, good to see you chair and board members.
So next slide. So we're familiar now with what the existing home looks like. It is a largely incoherent home that's gone through some upgrades over the years, but none that have been particularly welldesigned. The floor plan is also fairly fragmented. So currently, there exists a primary bedroom, but it's more like a glorified hallway and the kitchen is a small galley kitchen. So the goal here is to create a lower level floor plan for modern living.
And then also, it extends into the interior courtyard a fair amount with a deck that's not very well considered and so the interior outdoor space isn't really used at all. So we're looking to activate the open space. Next slide. Right now we're adding 31 square feet, as Claire said. We're also removing around 300 square feet, 311 from the lower level in order to open up the interior space. We're adding 637 square feet to the upper level, two bedrooms, one's the primary suite and one a secondary for a family to be able to have a young child on the second floor.
And our total square footage for the home is a modest 1,900 square feet after the addition. This is the floor plan. We can return to it if you have any questions. You can see there's two bedrooms on the ground level, two bedrooms on the upper level. You can just go slowly through this, but we've designed it with the roof plates in mind to try to keep the mass down. We're two feet under the maximum height.
We have a dormer employed at the upper level primary in order to accomplish the appearance of a almost single story home from the street. We're at three feet on the main roof line plate height and seven feet, which is pretty much minimum on the dormer. So essentially, what that means is that the windows for the primary, we're at seven feet to ceiling. We also have a two and a half in 12 slope on that and that results in about as low as you can go before you have to turn it into flat roof.
And final point on the addition of the second story is we're set back at 25 feet from the property line five feet beyond what's necessary and we're also concentrated to the south of the site to try to keep our mass away from those homes up slope and provide for their view. As Claire touched on, to the southeast so they can see well past the roof line of the first floor. And that's it. Thank you guys. We appreciate the time.
Chair Bauta:
Thank you. Now if there are any members of the public that wish to speak or comment on this project, you have two minutes, please come on up if they're state your name and you may begin.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
Hi, I'm Greg Homer. I live at 361 Locust, 363 Locust and 365 Locust. The views from all three units are materially obstructed by this remodel. Most of you have been to the property and have seen the obstructions. I would estimate the obstructions at 70 to 75%. They reduce each of the views to a small sliver along the top where you can see a little bit of ocean.
My largest concern is that this process be fair. I appreciate the equity function of this statute, but I'm concerned by some things. I'm concerned that the staff had a recommendation before any of the evidence was submitted. That troubles me, particularly if this is supposed to be an equity balancing process. I also had the impression when at least one person came out that they'd already made up their mind about this process and that was disturbing to me. I'd rather lose a view and have a fair process.

The procedure during the... Sorry to cut you off all the time, but during the staff always typically gives a recommendation for all reports, so it's not pertaining to this specific siteMr. Homer (Appellant):
I understand.
Chair Bauta:
... prior to this hearing, we hear it. Our judgment is based on this hearing here tonight.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
I appreciate that.
Chair Bauta:
We continue the time.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
One of the things that I learned here today was that 300 square feet was removed from the lower level and 600 square feet was added to the second story. Did I understand that correctly? Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Yes.
Chair Bauta:
And so hang on, just direct all your questions to the board and then they will ask the applicant and flesh those out after.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
Okay. That certainly doesn't sound to me like an effort was made to mitigate view obstruction. It sounds like things were squeezed to the top. This is a property that was recently acquired by a company for spec. I understand that that may not be an issue, but the location of the property at the bottom of the street is such that it's likely that any addition to the top is going to obstruct views all the way up the street as it has.
It does not seem to me that efforts were made. The roof pitch, the numbers that were represented do not look like the pictures to me. Those look like reasonably steep roof pitches and the rise and run that was cited here does not align with the pictures that I've seen, nor from the staking that I'm seeing. So I don't really know what's going on there, but the setback of what is tantamount to about feet from the front of the roof line looks more like a design detail than any effort to preserve view.
The main issue that I have is it just doesn't seem to me that in terms of balancing, one, the amount of view that I'm losing and that my neighbors are losing combined with the notice that the buyers were under based on the location of the property and the fact that they're taking 300 square feet from the first floor and moving for 600 square feet upstairs, that a lot more mitigation could be made in order to accommodate the views of the adjacent residence.

Thank you very much.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
Sure. Thank you.
Chair Bauta:
Anyone else? Please come up. Yes.
Mr. Baskovich (Neighbor):
My name's George Baskovich. My wife and I are two lots above and I concur with what I just heard presented, especially with regards to the fact that I think the purpose of this committee is to balance interests, not to blanketly approve something as presented.
Thus far, what has concerned me the most is there's been no effort to change these plans or to offer any options to bring back the square footage that's being taken from the lower level and put up in the upper level as all the board members have seen, this directly afflicts or affects our master bedroom space and the view that we've had. The view that we've had slowly diminished over the years as more and more structures have come up.
When we initially built our home, we presented plans and then we had to compromise by sinking our house and doing a two pitch roof to preserve some of the views that would project down towards the ocean. And over the years when the next structure that Claire's here representing was built, that too we negotiated and we lost all of our views to the rear of our property with the intent of preserving our master bedroom.
And unfortunately, this project, as you have seen, as all the board members have seen, and I haven't seen any photographs that represent that, but I wish you would play or show some of those because it's really dramatic. If you're in our master bedroom, that upper unit is right in the center and it blocks our view entirely of the ocean from inside the structure. So that's where we spend most of our time and the simple solution there is I'm not saying don't build a second story, but I'm saying why not narrow the margin that maybe make one bedroom up there, narrow it and preserve some of that view.
The effect that that structure as planned would have on Carol's unit is absolutely astounding. It would bring her into the dark and completely destroy her view. And all I'm asking the board to do is to not allow this to go as it is and to have some modifications that show that you are actually balancing the needs of the community and not just blanketly approving. Otherwise, why have a design review commission? That's all I have to say.
Chair Bauta:
Thank you very much. Any other members of the public wish to speak? Come on up.
Speaker 11:
So I live directly next door 334 and my concern is that for my master bedroom, there is going to be a diminished light that comes through and also I'm looking right out at the storyfolds and the flags so I will lose all the view that I had. So that is very, very upsetting to me because it not only upsets me, the fact that I will spend a lot of time in that bedroom in the master bathroom also had great views and that won't be the case any longer and it affects the light coming through the house on both the upper and the lower level. So I hope they can change that and modify the building. Thank you. 166

Chair Bauta:
Thank you. Which neighbor are you? I'm sorry.
Board Member Gibbs:
Store 334 Monterey. It's up. So it's between them and Mr. [inaudible 00:17:50]. It's a two story, two unit.
Mr. Weil:
She's on the uphill side.
Board Member Gibbs:
She's right next door so there's a duplex. She's on the one next door and I think that the other duplex owner objected as well, although we didn't see his unit. It was done through Mr. Baskovich.
Chair Bauta:
Okay. Thank you. Thanks for that clarification, Tom. Applicant, any other members of the public wish to speak? Seeing none, I return to the applicant. You have three minutes for a rebuttal.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Appreciate the opportunity and thank you for your comments. I take some notes there and I'll respond to each one in kind. Related to the removal of square footage on the ground level and putting more square footage on the second level, there are two good reasons for that. One is, as I mentioned before, the exterior space between buildings at this moment is largely unusable so giving it some more size makes it more usable. But more importantly, the city's rules for open space in the R2 mandate that certain amounts of square footage on the site be dedicated to open space clear to sky based on the square footage for the home.
So as I said before, we're at 1,900 square feet on the home and we right now with what we have are just complying with open space requirements. So if we were to take up any more of the site and try to obtain that much square footage, which is still modest, we wouldn't be able to do so without providing some sort of deck situation, which I think we would run into the same kind of concerns.
There was a comment about the roof slope and the renderings. I did mention our high roof slope on the dormers two and a half and 12, which is the lowest you can go for a standard roofing material before you go to something like a built up or TPO. It is true that the roof line in front is a seven and 12, which is maybe what was commented on that was included in the presentation, but the plate height is at three feet off the second floor for that one and we're using the seven and 12 to create the appearance of that character, but keeping it really low on purpose. And you can see that in the front elevations.
The first comment mentioned that any second floor addition would block his view. So I think that implies that the only thing acceptable is a first floor is a single floor home on our site and I think that's an unfair burden on this property. And the last comment on diminished light, we intentionally kept the second story mass to the southeast for that very reason. For that property.\, We kept the roof line extending up towards that direction rather than going up on that side and we believe that that will accomplish a fair amount of access to light and also the primary views which they currently enjoy down southeast.

Thank you. We will close the public comment. I've got questions for the applicant. Was that last item address pertaining to the light of the window at 334 Locust? Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Correct.
Chair Bauta:
Sorry, I may have missed it. Do you mind just... There was concerns by the neighbor at 334.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Claire, would you mind bringing up the front elevation? Claire Park (Staff):
[inaudible 00:21:40] too.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Just to show you what I mean by that. Typically, when there's concern about access to light, it's because there's a second story vertical wall close to the property line. If you want to... Yeah, that front elevation would be good. It can be here. It's going to be A201, I believe. And I think it's important to look at the elevation to explain what I'mBoard Member Weil:
Where'sthe elevation start on?
Chair Bauta:
A211.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
A211.
Board Member Weil:
A211. Okay.
Mr. Homer (Appellant):
That would be the sections at A201. Apologies. Which is page... Here we go. That one right there. So the property that's concerned is on the right-hand side of this image. You can see, this is an orthographic representation. The roof lines that you see central to the building in the back, those are pushed further back. They're not up to the front setback.
The primary bulk of the structure on the second level is to the left and you can see that we've concentrated a single bedroom to that side and we have the seven and 12 sloping up and to the left. So if you track the sun's angle throughout the day at multiple times during the year, really this building isn't creating any kind of shade for the neighbor to the east. I'm sorry, to the north. It would be north in this case. It would have to be an unrealistically low angle. 168

Chair Bauta:
Thank you. Thank you, Matt. Any other questions? Go ahead, Tom.
Board Member Gibbs:
Okay. First of all, I want to make a disclosure, probably should have done it earlier. I've rented the unit 334 from Carol Rasin in October to November when my house was under demolition. So I know the house, but it doesn't cloud my judgment at all. I'm judging this independently, but it gives me the opportunity to know her house and her windows. Go back to, you're on the correct slide, but if you could go to the elevation showing the side that's facing Carol Rasin's 334 Locust.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
It's on the top there.
Board Member Gibbs:
Yeah, it's the upper left. The upper window, have you measured its view? I tried to figure it out when I was at Carol's house as to what window, because there's two windows up there on the side. One goes into the master, one goes into the bathroom. The secondary bedroom in the back, it's not in play.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Sorry. There's no windows in this view to the primary. That is only the bathroom window.
Board Member Gibbs:
The one I'm seeing upstairs is the bathroom window?
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Correct.
Board Member Gibbs:
Okay. Can that be glazed?
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Yeah.
Board Member Gibbs:
It glazedMatthew Gummow (Applicant):
In other words, a translucent material.
Board Member Gibbs:
Translucent and not openable, but it can come up where it's open but it's not viewed out because I think it's viewing both into her bedroom and to her bathroom.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):

When I hear that, I always say nobody wants to look into anyone's bathroom.
Board Member Weil:
Claire, can you circle that window?
Board Member Gibbs:
Yeah. So it needs to be where it's not openable. It can be open within... And that's not putting aside any other issues I'm going to have. I'm just concerned about that window.
Board Member Weil:
It can be a tilt.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
We'll do an awning window in a translucent finish.
Board Member Gibbs:
Yeah, where it goes out like four inches.
Matthew Gummow (Applicant):
Correct.
Board Member Gibbs:
Okay. I just wondered if you had measured that and given its location, it's almost viewable in those two.
Okay, that's all I have.
Board Member Coveny:
No questions.
Chair Bauta:
Any other questions? Okay. We can roll into... The public comment is closed. The board will enter into discussions and deliberations. Who wants to begin?
Board Member Gibbs:
I'd rather go last given my familiarity.
Board Member Weil:
Okay. I'll jump in on this one. No, I really appreciate the neighbors for being available to really walk us through the homes and get a really good perspective of what their concerns are. And so I don't take it lightly trying to get out to see the neighbors and hear those concerns. Also, I typically don't make any statements of predetermination until I get to fully see the sites, discuss it with the architects, discuss it with the neighbors.
So I think my colleagues share that too, that the determinations aren't made until we get here. So I just wanted to put that forward. But for this site, it's a little unique. It isn't our two lot. A lot of the lots, especially towards the Cypress side, are fully developed lots. And then some of the single family homes 170

or the duplex varieties that go up the street are quite filling the envelope as the developments are newer versus some of the older developments.
I think the house for this project in its current form is definitely a dated project and much need of some upgrades and articulation to get this one in this space. But I really appreciate a lot of the elements that the architect does. By shifting the building to the left on the upper story edition, it really leaves views and angled views for the homeowners up the hill. Now it does take away some components, but I think the way it's situated, it does leave these angled views across the lot in its design.
I think it's more of a sharing of the view than a total elimination. And it's a hard one to balance because this property owner does have an envelope that even though it hasn't been utilized for 60 years, it's still entitled to the lot to build a reasonable program in there. And I've seen a lot of programs over the years where you come in and it's this overbuilt huge monstrosity and then we really try to script it down.
But in modern times, I've seen a lot more projects that just try to come in with some careful design and really try to achieve what they need to achieve on the lot and the program. We're trying to really minimalize the design and the impacts with the right design. I think that's what we have in front of us tonight is it's a really well-thought-out. It really does try to minimize the impacts from view equity as best it can while still trying to achieve the two-story element that is well-accommodated across the street. Locust has lots of two story buildings.
I think several of the neighbors that were walking us through their homes, they all have two-story buildings. So to say that this one can't be a two-story building really deprives the owner of that right of enjoyment that is well-observed across the lots that have been developed going up and down the street.
So for me, I'm behind this program. For me, it meets the design review components architecturally. It's very compatible with the tree streets and quite an enhancement to it. The colors really keep it soft and minimalistic. It's a 1,900 square foot total program for this front unit and I think that's well compatible if not on the smaller side for some of the homes up and down Locust Street. So for me, this meets the design review criteria.
I did have one question about the REP and the gate. I recognize that it's low and it meets the public works. I think my question would be is to have the gates pulled back to the property line so those pilasters are in line with the property line because those are more permanent elements, but if the fence wanted to come forward to run where it is, it could just jog back, but it's not as big of a component as I did see other projects where their fencings are low and in the right of way space. I could be either way, but that was just a comment I wanted to make and see where other board members were at.
Board Member Coveny:
I'll go next. Thank you, Louis. I concur with your comments. This is definitely neighborhood compatible and you have every right to build a two story in the way you've positioned it, as Louis mentioned, is really making the best for the view impact that it has on 352 and 361. It's a minimal views that those are impacting, that the existing views for especially 352 is really out the front of the house.
Each house is positioned facing a different angle than the ocean. So from 352, you really get a nice view from primary areas. There's a small peak of you view from the primary bedroom if you're standing far back and if you're over six feet tall. So what you would lose by having to move that or to downgrade the size of your upper story doesn't provide you the proper equity that you deserve to build your home.
Your articulation is great. Your mass and scale is great. Your consistent materials to help tell that story architecturally is really good. It really upgrades this home and fits really well into the neighborhood.
What was I going to say about... Oh, your REP. I have no problem with the REP. Again, gates going in probably more than coming out. I think Louis touched on that. Location is not impeding any public 171

access. I think it really, again, finishes off the full architectural look of the house, so I think I can approve the REP. Yeah, I think that's it. I can get behind the project tonight.
Chair Bauta:
Thank you, MJ.
Chair Pro Tem Neev:
Okay. I'll go next. Yes, I think when I went and viewed a lot of the neighbors properties, I'm up on decks and when you stand on a deck, certainly your eyes are going to go to those story poles and you see what you're losing. But I also, when you open up, when you really look beyond that, and we think about view equity, I believe that view equity is achieved.
And I think that considering this home in the neighborhood, there are so many two story homes and this property now, I think you've been very modest as far as and very carefully positioning your upper story in order to minimize the impact. I think in having discussions with some of your neighbors, now I'm short so that could weigh into it, but when I was standing in some of these areas, you'd have to dig down five or six feet and have a flat roof.
Something that would be so egregious, in my opinion, in order to preserve this section that you'll be blocking, I think is quite unreasonable. So I think that I truly believe that view equity has been taken into consideration and that you have achieved that. Excuse me. We did talk about the pitch, so I'm glad that you did have that in your presentation because I thought, okay, is that even going to make a difference? And it really wouldn't make a difference unless you really lower the whole structure. Like I said, I think that's just not reasonable.
The other piece that I... My colleagues mentioned everything, I also agree with the REP. I don't have any issue with that. I did look at your impervious surfaces and I know you have a driveway. I'm not going to make it a request or a requirement or a condition, but I think I'd like you to take a look at that.
You're all close to 75% and I think if there's some terrific products out there as far as having some pervious pavers and things like that, when you look at your driveway, that's really what's driving that number. And so being an environmentalist, I always have to ask that question, but other than that, I can certainly support your project.
Chair Bauta:
Thank you. Do you want to go?
Board Member Gibbs:
I'll go. Why don't you go first now?
Chair Bauta:
Okay. Thanks, Tom. I agree with my fellow board members here tonight. I think this project meets the pattern of development. I think it's thoughtfully designed home. It is neighborhood compatible. I don't see an issue with master scale. I think all of the view impacts are partially current for the most part between a lot of the trees and other structures beyond. So I think this project does meet the design review criteria and I can also approve this project tonight.

Okay. Thank you. I joined with my colleagues. I know the tree trees very well. I live in the tree streets and two story is a reality in the tree streets particularly in the R2 zoning and any applicant including the neighbors. In fact, I think all three of the complaining neighbors have two story. So it's a question of what the project is and how it's done. I concur with my colleagues that efforts were taken to come up with a program that's less than what this applicant could do and far less indeed less than what is existing in the street.
Numerous houses on Locust have much more program on the second story including the 352 Locust project. So you really need to put that in perspective in evaluating this project. Also, it's view equity, it's not view preservation. So when we go up there, and you might have known all the neighbors that were there that I certainly did, and I know my colleagues did, looked at all the views, those being impact and those being not.
And I, again, concur with my colleagues, we see it a lot that when a view is impacted, you have a tendency to focus on the story poles rather than the full view parameter. And if you look at the full view parameter, you will see, I think you'll concur that view equity has been achieved. Whether it's with Mr.
Homer’s house, I saw as much ocean that's not impacted, that as is in fact less is being impacted.
It's just that that's a focus and I believe all the residents who are complaining are sincere, but what we look at is whether we balance the right to have that second story, how it's designed against view impacts and we find we're in this case, view equity has been achieved. Now, Carol Rasin's home has a great view of the balcony and part of one of the windows in the master bedroom. The bathroom windows, even that has some view left, but it's not a primary ceremonial room that gets significant protection from design review pursuant to the guidelines we have to follow.
And then the other home, which is the Baskovichs, again, out of every room they showed me, I saw quite a bit of ocean view that's not being impacted. I think anywhere you put the second story would have impacted views from one extent or another. So we don't look at this, this. We look also at where you could put that second story that might make sense that would have a significant view impact preservation for neighbors. I just didn't see it. With respect to privacy, I appreciate the window. I would make that a condition.
The privacy issues really probably impact the Rasin's property the most and really where the view and the living is out toward the street, it does impact the master bedroom in terms of losing some light and air. Out of the bathroom, the master bath, it's really that area is kind of in between the two stories and so you'll still get a lot of light and air into the master bath and then the second bedroom upstairs in the back is not impacted.
Down below on the first story, you're already impacted by the first story of the existing home and it's not that much more significant to put a second story home, particularly one that doesn't go all the way across the primary first floor of that property. So I find both view equity and privacy concerns satisfied and with respect to the REP. I'm fine with the pilasters, they can be removed if there's ever a sidewalk put in North Dakota, which will never happen. We don't even have one on Aster. So with that, I can approve the program.
Chair Bauta:
Thank you, Tom. Do we have a motion? I'll give it a go. I'd like to make a motion to adopt Resolution 2026-0702 approving design review 2026-0702 and a revocable encroachment permit 2026-0703 for the property located at 332 Locust Street and finding set action categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to guidelines section 15301 with the following condition, on sheet A211 on section A2 the upper level window adjacent to 334 Locust is to be opaque and awning. 173

Subject: Design Review Hearing 5.14.26 - 332 Locust St
Dear Planning Dept and Design Review Board Members,
My name is Bill Robertson. My wife Vicki Robertson and I live at 328 Locust St. We have lived at 328 Locust for 26 years. The property at 332 Locust has been in dire need of improvement for years. We knew eventually the property would be sold and the new owner would most likely do a much needed remodel. We were very pleased to see the proposed remodel presented by Matt Gummow at Alder James. The project is very tastefully done and fits the neighborhood and site nicely. The project was not overly ambitious and looked to keep the second floor as low and as possible and still maintain a functional and attractive design. As we are the downhill next-door neighbors, we are not aƯected by any view considerations and can’t speak to our neighbor’s view equity concerns. If it is the City’s policy going forward to not allow any view to be lost by a second floor additions then no second floor should be allowed. On the other hand, if a second floor is allowed and does consider view equity then this project would be welcomed as our next-door neighbor. Thank you, Bill and Vicki Robertson 180 of 803
