Morning Phase LLC Coastal Development Permit and Coastal Variance (P5981)

The applicant is requesting Coastal Development Permit approval to construct an 800 square foot detached residential Accessory Dwelling Unit and to make modifications to an existing primary residence on a developed lot in Bolinas. The applicant is also requesting a Coastal Variance for  an electrical platform within the front yard setback.

The 800 square feet of proposed development would result in a floor area ratio of 28 percent on the 4,938 square foot lot. The proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit would reach a maximum height of 15 feet above surrounding grade and the exterior walls would have the following setbacks: 18 feet, 10 ½ inches from the eastern front property line; over 75 feet from the southern side property line; 4 feet from the northern side property line; and 4 feet from the western rear property line.

The electrical platform would be 4 feet 6 inches long by 4 feet 8 inches wide. The electrical platform would be 4 feet 8 inches above grade with the total structure height being 11 feet above grade and 0 feet from the front property line. Various site improvements would also be entailed in the proposed development, including a firepit, a bench, new exterior stairs and railings, new pavers, and a new water feature.

The Accessory Dwelling Unit and the modifications to the existing structure are subject to a Coastal Development Permit pursuant to Coastal Zoning Code section 20.68.060.F and M. A Coastal Variance approval is required because the electrical platform structure is within the front setback
