In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a request for a variance to construct a new single-family home at 2600 North Ocean Boulevard, which lies seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL). The proposal involves a four-story structure, approximately 38 feet tall and covering 6,931 square feet. This request is part of a rehearing process following the city council's previous denial of a similar application in February 2019, which sought to build a larger duplex.

The earlier proposal, which was denied under resolution number 22, 2019, involved a 49-foot tall, 14,270 square foot duplex. The applicant appealed this denial, leading to a remand by the 4th District Court of Appeal for further consideration. According to city code section 281556, construction seaward of the CCCL is generally prohibited, although property owners can apply for variances.

The property in question spans 0.42 acres and is currently undeveloped, featuring a native beach. It is zoned R3F with a future land use designation of residential medium. The CCCL is marked on the provided map, indicating the boundaries within which construction is restricted. The outcome of this variance request could set a significant precedent for future coastal development in the area.
