Lerner Coastal Permit (P4476)

The applicant requests retroactive Coastal Development Permit approval to remove and permit portions of an existing fence, remove a gate, and remove two retaining walls, as well as approval to remove seven previously removed trees from a developed property located in the unincorporated community of Inverness. The existing building area and floor area of 2,016 square feet would remain unchanged, and the existing floor area ratio would remain at five percent on the 43,560-square-foot lot.

A 149-foot portion of the existing 237-foot-long fence built without the benefit of permits is proposed to be removed. The 149-foot portion of the fence proposed for removal would result in an 88-foot-long, solid wood fence that would range in height from a minimum of four feet to a maximum of six feet above the surrounding grade. The run of the proposed 88-foot-long fence would begin in the northern front of the property at the eastern side of the existing driveway, where it would run along Woodhaven Road in an easterly direction and terminate before reaching Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. Lastly, the project proposes the removal of seven trees, as identified in the table below. 

Coastal Development Permit approval is required pursuant to Coastal Zoning Code Section 20.68.060.M because the project is not explicitly and specifically exempt from coastal development permit requirements by Section 20.68.050 (Coastal Development Permit Not Required: Exempt Development) of the Coastal Zoning Code.
