Per the new district, new homes and remodels in the Pleasure Point area are subject to a series of rules that seek to stave off large, cookie-cutter homes.
A grandfather clause allows most existing homes to be built back to their current specs in the event of damage.
The California Coastal Commission will be holding a public hearing and acting on an LCP amendment to add the Pleasure Point Community Design Combining Zone District (ordinance) on May 12, 2010
A grandfather clause allows most existing homes to be built back to their current specs in the event of damage.
The plan that will go before county supervisors next week has been amended since the Planning Commission approved it in December and now allows homeowners who lose their home to fire or natural disaster to rebuild to their original specs, regardless of the extent of their damage.
Responding to some who expressed concern about the proposed regulations, the Planning Commission recommended a handful of small changes to the plan Tuesday, including grandfathering current homeowners who don’t comply, meaning these people can rebuild in the event of natural disaster.
The following Item will be heard at 1:30 PM
Public hearing to consider proposed Pleasure Point Combining Zone District
The proposed project consists of the creation of a new Pleasure Point Community Design (“PP”) Combining Zone overlay district in the Pleasure Point neighborhood, within which special residential development standards would apply. This action will involve rezoning all Single Family (R-1), Multi-Family (R-M), and Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PR) zoned parcels
At the urging of Pleasure Point residents, the county Board of Supervisors last year committed to halting construction of out-of-scale homes and protecting the neighborhood’s gritty, surf-town feel. Next week, planners are expected to introduce rules to honor that commitment.
