PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA

CALL TO ORDER 

ROLL CALL

PUBLIC OPEN TIME: Time for comments from members of the public on issues not on this Planning Commission agenda. (Limited to 3 minutes per person)

APPROVAL OF AGENDA: 

PUBLIC HEARING: For each of the following items, the public will be given an opportunity to speak. After a staff report, the Chair will open the public hearing and invite the applicant or applicant’s representative to make any comments. Members of the public will be invited to provide testimony to the Commission following the applicant. Speakers should state their name for the record and can address the Commission for three minutes. After all public comments have been received, the public hearing will be closed, and the Commission will discuss the item and take appropriate action(s).

DISCLOSURE OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS: Prior to a project hearing Planning Commission Members must disclose any communications they have had on any quasi-judicial agenda items. This includes, but is not limited to, Design Reviews, Tentative Subdivision Maps, Parcel Maps, Variances, and Conditional Use Permits. This does not disqualify the Planning Commission Member from participating and voting on the matter but gives the public and applicant an opportunity to comment on the ex parte communication.

1. 27 Plymouth Avenue – Design Review – PL22-5120 (Johnson)

27 Plymouth Avenue - A Design Review application to demolish the existing 1,261 square foot single-story home and construct a new two-story 1,916 square foot home on a 5,500 square foot lot in the RS-6 Zoning District. Site improvements include an accessory structure, new landscaping, deck, pavers, and lighting. The project design meets FEMA flood elevation requirements. The proposed project has been determined to be exempt from further environmental review under Section 15303 (New Construction) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

This item is being continued to the November 22, 2022 Planning Commission meeting, due to the story poles not being installed within the minimum 10 day period.

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to allow a furniture consignment store as allowed in the Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) zone to occupy more than 1,500 square feet of floor area pursuant to Municipal Code Section 20.40.030.R.
