Development News from the latest meeting
Hillside Pool and Spa Permit Approved at 3619 Crescent Circle
The zoning administrator approved a minor hillside development permit for a swimming pool, spa, and associated site improvements at 3619 Crescent Circle. The project requires a permit due to development on a portion of the site with a slope of 10% or greater. The proposal includes a pool, spa, patio, retaining walls, drainage, erosion control, and pool equipment, with wax myrtles for landscape screening. It is categorically exempt from CEQA. No public comments were received prior to the meeting, but Janice Carmen expressed concerns during public comment regarding the feasibility of placing a pool on the steep slope and the need for adequate retaining walls, citing earthquake risks. Staff clarified that retaining walls are included, and a flat area exists for the pool, with detailed plans to be reviewed during the building permit process. The administrator approved the project with existing conditions, noting it would be an improvement from a landscaping perspective and create a cooler environment. The decision is final unless appealed within 10 calendar days.
Sunny Cafe Mobile Food Vendor Approved at 3230 Coffee Lane
The zoning administrator approved a minor conditional use permit for Sunny Cafe, a mobile food vending facility, to operate at 3230 Coffee Lane. The facility will be located at an existing 24-7 Foods and Fill site, which includes a gas station, convenience store, and car wash. Proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The site provides restroom access, parking, and a small customer seating area; no permanent site improvements are proposed for the food truck itself. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA. No public comments were received prior to the meeting, but Janice Carmen spoke in support, appreciating the extended hours and the need for more food options. The administrator confirmed the presence of a small customer seating area and approved the project, noting it as a great addition to the neighborhood with comprehensive findings and conditions. The decision is final unless appealed within 10 calendar days.
Betty Residence Hillside Development Permit Approved at 3716 Sky Farm Drive
The zoning administrator approved a minor hillside development permit for the Betty Residence project, located at 3716 Sky Farm Drive. The project involves the construction of a new two-story, 6,640 square foot single-family residence with associated basement, garage, driveway, grading, drainage, and well improvements on a site with slopes greater than 10%. The project was found to be categorically exempt from CEQA and staff recommended approval, which was granted. Concerns about disturbed boulders were addressed by stating contractor responsibility for safe grading. The property was noted as a housing inventory site above moderate, which the project meets in terms of income level but not realistic capacity, though no extra site finding was required due to the city's inventory being nearly complete. The decision is final unless appealed within 10 calendar days.
