Stegmaier apologized for recent attendance gaps and summarized the committee’s role: to review project design for compatibility with site and neighborhood character and to provide a forum for community input in the Monterey‑Moss Beach‑El Granada‑Princeton areas. He said sections of the design standards are being revised to make them objective and that those objective standards will come to the committee this summer.

He also said the draft revisions include a proposal to increase the committee stipend (described in the meeting as “doubling it”) and to allow payment more than once per month should there be multiple meetings. The chair noted more sections of the document will be updated and circulated for review.

During the chair’s report there were several informal remarks from members and attendees about planning and building‑department workload and responsiveness; one committee member said plan processing had slowed and that new plan technicians are “coming up to speed,” while others described variability in turnaround times for plan check comments. Those remarks were anecdotal and were not entered as formal findings by staff.

Stegmaier and others discussed recruitment of representatives for geographic areas; the chair said most areas are eligible and encouraged residents from the listed communities to apply, noting Ontario (seat) appeared to be filled and that other areas remained open.

The chair briefly referenced national‑level reports he’d heard about possible changes to the Coastal Commission’s funding but noted only rumors and no local action. He closed the report by inviting members and the public to submit materials for upcoming agendas.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Coastside Design Review Hearing - 04/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the April 10 meeting the CDRC chair reported draft objective design standards will be ready for committee review this summer, mentioned a proposal to double committee stipends and to allow more frequent payments, and encouraged recruitment for open representative seats.","taxTitle","San Mateo County, California","taxId",3572,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6076247,"CDRC approves Montara addition and deck replacement with condition to show shielded lighting",671,4376000,5047000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2971106-1d5dbec56871808e6baf710d65607027&start=4376&end=5047","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2971106-1d5dbec56871808e6baf710d65607027/thumbnail_4376000.jpg","/articles/6076247/San-Mateo-County/California/CDRC-approves-Montara-addition-and-deck-replacement-with-condition-to-show-shielded-lighting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076247-cb20c32e4d65a921746282853cf98c95/orig.mp4?Expires=1771117906&Signature=YrRvNr5AEPo4fzeTtoHydv~NVje11NvU7SoN8DhzASOhu59N2ZBrwHTCtY-jz8PnFSCFKLS5rTG2GBS~7LjO85jCKCwl3HWJ1T646xBlYB3hv8~MBzCf5~AMGLJtJGt3a3Z7y7Ez4iX2bOnZZbbzEb9x7-uzfSAQkehvw~91iFrot7StU~V3x9D6MlcmjBYWW74vFmZCcv3X37XgtwPP2nmzFSUxtSYJuuD2DMt8bkGvm~FmE1n3tsbLmk7MqUC7T2l4ZisOUZIPOukdou9xl9b8g9Hz7GTcYN2zU2yJ4JxsP7hwsk2q80o8Fit9kwlrdU6-BX6j2-jje9ON1qMkMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","April 10, 2025 — The San Mateo County Coastal Design Review Committee approved a design review permit Thursday for additions and remodeling at a single‑family residence at 840 Edison Street in Montara, finding the project exempt from CEQA under the existing‑facilities exemption.

Staff described the project (file TLN2024‑00313) as a 339‑square‑foot first‑floor addition, a 65‑square‑foot second‑story addition, and a 407‑square‑foot deck replacement on a parcel listed in the staff report as 625 square feet; the presentation also referenced a combined total that staff and the applicant discussed during the hearing. The project includes minor grading and removal of one tree, and staff recommended the committee determine the project exempt under CEQA Guidelines section 15301(e) (Class 1: additions to existing structures under certain thresholds). The application was deemed complete March 11, 2025; Randall Cohen was listed as the project planner.

The applicant’s representative described filling in a narrow rear void to enlarge the kitchen and said the front of the house will remain unchanged. New windows are proposed to be vinyl with black exterior frames and white interiors to replace older aluminum windows. The committee asked that exterior lighting be shown as fully shielded on final plans; the applicant said shielded fixtures would be used and that plans would be clarified to show that detail.

A motion to approve carried on a roll‑call vote with April Bingham and Moshe Porter recorded as voting yes. The committee’s conditions included providing details of shielded exterior lighting on the final plan set and clarifying that new exterior finishes match existing materials where applicable.

The staff report noted the project is not appealable to the California Coastal Commission and listed the planner and application completeness date.","The committee approved a rear addition, a modest second‑story reconfiguration and a deck replacement at a Montara residence, requesting final plans that show shielded exterior lighting and confirmation that new exterior finishes match existing materials.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6076252,"CDRC approves two‑story Miramar house with ADU after minor design conditions",1185,2552000,3737000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2971106-1d5dbec56871808e6baf710d65607027&start=2552&end=3737","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2971106-1d5dbec56871808e6baf710d65607027/thumbnail_2552000.jpg","/articles/6076252/San-Mateo-County/California/CDRC-approves-twostory-Miramar-house-with-ADU-after-minor-design-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076252-f00acd162cf73eb1316970b8043875eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771117906&Signature=BhP6g60ef2PYAgCEWaxpVgdFq9Lzvq3IQ9l4jpkmysxpryVuyGUmPtAX3ZErrdbVdrpkTQJj3D-kbFfHseAfYA2jOg7mb6jGhFPsZe8RtuJ9FGoO9F0MjQKddygqUU4ZewPpI5zj76BsxqvVxPEfzWSPX~JqbcoOI4eJ4nPUYTlfYevlqzhVPGRI9XoacIWzNXOInJHreIWNEpjmKOTPUlhe0K9Zjo3uJO7scIMUHUVt6t-NGQb9VKANlH-1zwkCrJyY26EpR8zoFW-c99GkEactoteMXwAp-XhD5w4KCxTAW1Vu5DcngN3UGiurg3hHJhLvQ9lMoP8QOV-HG-MEnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","April 10, 2025 — The San Mateo County Coastal Design Review Committee approved design review for a new two‑story, 2,276‑square‑foot single‑family residence with an attached 415‑square‑foot garage and an attached 485‑square‑foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on Miranda Road in Miramar (file PLN2024‑00183). The ADU was treated as a ministerial project and not subject to design review per staff notes.

The committee found the project exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (Class 3). The application was deemed complete on Feb. 26, 2025, and the planner on the record was Randall Cohen.

The owner/applicant identified herself on the record as Svetlana Olathe; a contractor who spoke to construction and material choices described the primary accent siding as a rust/brown tone and said the reddish color shown in some renderings was not the intended finish. The owner told the committee she had no substantive comments beyond ensuring the design “is aligned with the, all the requirements.”

Committee discussion focused on material transitions, the composition of façade elements and a small upper‑level window above the garage. Committee members said the small window made the garage visually prominent and encouraged adding either a larger or an additional window on the front face to break up a blank plane and better balance the elevation. The applicant’s representative agreed to add an upstairs window matching the scale of the existing window above the garage.

The committee also added two conditions addressing color and exterior lighting: that the exterior siding and accents use warm, muted earth tones (the project team said the intended accent is a rust/brown, not a bright red) and that exterior lighting be minimized and quantified (standard applied: one fixture per entry, two allowed at garage) and shown on final plans.

After the committee discussed those conditions, a motion to approve was made and the roll‑call vote recorded April Bingham and Moshe Porter voting yes; the motion passed.

Permit details: 2,276‑square‑foot primary residence; attached 415‑square‑foot garage; 485‑square‑foot ADU; lot area 5,000 square feet; minor grading; no tree removals reported in staff description. The ADU was listed as ministerial.","The committee approved a 2,276‑square‑foot two‑story residence with an attached garage and a 485‑square‑foot ADU on Miranda Road in Miramar, adding conditions for an added upstairs window, earth‑tone finishes and limited exterior lighting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6076257,"CDRC approves 1-bedroom home on Valencia Avenue in El Granada",0,4842000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2971106-1d5dbec56871808e6baf710d65607027&start=4842&end=4842","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2971106-1d5dbec56871808e6baf710d65607027/thumbnail_4842000.jpg","/articles/6076257/San-Mateo-County/California/CDRC-approves-1-bedroom-home-on-Valencia-Avenue-in-El-Granada","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076257-fe4fc6205e3d3cb4e109c6695188b279/orig.mp4?Expires=1771117906&Signature=EqXjquVb-L6wjSc1cfJgxy6etXqR-OchbC-SShk03Y4H7NT~wAY0qPy~1RL2d63N9fHeywD6c5CVcAFlVVst99vg9Jif5lRSoE5XHikwo8olNivrAyACy9QjMjw5bYGmWZxKE6JHEHPIz77-n~r-1d~h56Zf2q9sSLiSeVBTodiK2lEvLe6CcMr5l0j687F3c64JcWNYdb-xiD9-ETSIQuh3WtI45HcWkyYx4LNlU5kXzqj1G9D-cW-SpOGjkfPhNQBe0mMjZ1Cmvzd-mLZmWKjIFh1j70HEU05rxw9mRzMz-WFBXS1r94V0ZbygukWfqasSp0UTnfv~OU9LKe27Mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","April 10, 2025 — The San Mateo County Coastal Design Review Committee approved a design review permit Thursday for a new 1,694‑square‑foot, two‑story single‑family house with an attached one‑car garage at a legal 5,000‑square‑foot parcel on Valencia Avenue in El Granada.

The committee found the project exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (Class 3), which covers the construction of single‑family residences in residential zones. The decision is not appealable to the California Coastal Commission, the staff report said.

The applicant listed on the staff report was Susanna Bull Bullisher; an individual named Edward C. Love was also identified as applicant‑related in the staff introduction. The project planner on the file was listed as Parker. During the presentation an architect for the project described the house as a modest, modern design that is “very, very orthogonal” with a small backyard patio and an upper balcony that could provide partial ocean views.

Committee members discussed visible elements of the design, including a spiral stair that will be visible through a bay window and the proposed exterior finishes. April Bingham, CDRC member, asked for assurance on the stair finish: “Just to make sure it’s not red,” and the architect said the stair likely would be metal with wood treads and a darker finish to match exterior accents.

Project specifics recorded in the staff description and presentation: a one‑bedroom home with an office on the lower floor, an upside‑down plan with primary living spaces on the upper floor, two skylights, a flat parapet roof, demolition of existing accessory structures, minor grading, and removal of three non‑significant trees. The application was deemed complete on Feb. 11, 2025, according to the staff summary.

The committee took a motion to approve the design review application with no additional conditions. Roll call votes recorded April Bingham and Moshe Porter voting yes; no no votes or abstentions were recorded and the motion passed.

The committee recessed and moved to the next agenda item at 2:15 p.m.

Details about the project file are in the staff report for PLN2024‑00159.","The San Mateo County Coastal Design Review Committee on April 10 approved a design review permit for a new 1,694-square-foot, two‑story single‑family home on Valencia Avenue in El Granada, finding the project exempt from CEQA under the small‑structure exemption.","actionData","errors"]
