Emami Residence Coastal Development Permit (PA2025-0173) Site Location: 355 Via Lido Soud

The Zoning Administrator is considering a Coastal Development Permit (PA2025-0173) for the demolition of an existing 2,038-square-foot single-unit dwelling and the construction of a new 4,639-square-foot (total floor area) two-story residence at 355 Via Lido Soud. The project includes a garage, landscape, hardscape, and drainage improvements. The site is located within the Coastal Commission Appeal Area.

Key Provisions:

• Development Standards: The proposed project complies with all local development standards, including floor area limits, setbacks, and height restrictions. The residence will feature a 697-square-foot garage.
• Coastal Hazards: A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis concluded the structure will not be subject to flooding over its 75-year economic lifetime. The owner must record an Acknowledgement of Coastal Hazards and a Waiver of Future Protection prior to permit issuance.
• Water Quality: A preliminary Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required due to the site's proximity to coastal waters and high impervious surface ratio.
• Public Access: The project does not change land use or density and is not expected to impede public coastal access or degrade visual quality.

Procedural Note: A public comment from Jim Mosher identified a discrepancy between the project description (referencing a "two-car garage") and the project plans, which indicate three parking spaces.

Environmental Review: The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
