Case planner John Champ told the commission the Corniche Master Association’s master CC&Rs include a 30‑day minimum rental term, but Monarch Hills’ CC&Rs — recorded later — contain a seven‑day minimum that has permitted short‑term rentals for decades. Champ said the city has tracked STR activity in Monarch Hills since 2013 and that the subassociation currently had about 45 active STR permits at the time of the hearing; Champ said prior CDPs approved for other subassociations (Corniche Sur Mer and Ritz Point) involved communities that had no history of active STRs and therefore were materially different. Champ told commissioners staff does not support the requested CDP and warned that approval could reduce public access to lower‑cost overnight accommodations and create unresolved legal conflicts between the master association and the subassociation.

The item drew the largest public comment turnout of the meeting: the commission limited speakers to two minutes and heard 34 people. Speakers favoring the master association’s request argued the master declaration is the prevailing governing document and must be enforced; those voices included Delita Cobold, president of the Corniche Master Association, who said the master declaration requires a 30‑day minimum and “the master association CC and R supersede the 3 sub association documents, therefore, they must all comply with the master association’s governing restrictions.” Supporters also said STRs have produced noise, trash, security issues and disproportionate wear and tear on shared facilities.

Opponents of the requested CDP urged respect for property rights, said STRs support tourism and local businesses, and described problem calls as isolated. Multiple speakers said they operate STRs responsibly and rely on the income to maintain properties; several urged the city not to overturn permits already issued. Speakers opposing the CDP included homeowners and property managers who described long‑term, permitted use of STRs under Monarch Hills’ documents and said the city had previously issued permits.

Commission discussion focused on legal and policy limits of the commission’s role. Several commissioners said the dispute appeared to be between HOAs and their governing documents and that the commission must base its decision on the seven findings required for a coastal development permit. Commissioners said they could not make the findings because staff’s analysis showed the requested prohibition would be inconsistent with the Local Coastal Program and could reduce public access to coastal overnight accommodations. One commissioner said the matter “belongs in a courtroom” or in HOA dispute resolution rather than being decided by the planning commission.

Following discussion the commission voted to deny CDP‑25‑0004. The denial preserves existing short‑term rental permits in Monarch Hills and leaves unresolved the conflict between the master association and Monarch Hills CC&Rs; staff noted the decision could prompt legal challenges and recommended the parties pursue resolution through their governing documents or the courts. John Champ told commissioners the prior Coastal Commission and city approvals of the short‑term rental program and the presence of active permitted STRs in Monarch Hills weighed in the staff recommendation against approving the master association’s request.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting: July 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Dana Point Planning Commission on July 14 denied Coastal Development Permit CDP‑25‑0004, a request from the Corniche Master Association to prohibit short‑term rentals of less than 30 days in the Monarch Hills condominium subassociation.","taxTitle","Dana Point, Orange County, California","taxId",52415,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6517628,"Commission approves attached 510‑square‑foot ADU at 33772 Silver Lantern",506,1549140,2056000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5404616-4fc8f2d4a51a00531329b86b69db9062&start=1549&end=2056","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5404616-4fc8f2d4a51a00531329b86b69db9062/thumbnail_1549140.jpg","/articles/6517628/Dana-Point/Orange-County/California/Commission-approves-attached-510squarefoot-ADU-at-33772-Silver-Lantern","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517628-52ea38015064a6ac36e12ecc3b1d17c8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770519693&Signature=dTOvj~lKYt5fi295dMJDZV-4zlMRYYtj-y3t9l3H9cMcAYy0hxXg70IxVtng6lIMuxOYq3m4vf27t4C3Hvc6Hr~sDb-bEhCZTZnarVYuXL7uCuiXca18Aa64v8b0axRw6qtfO-yzrOjxBFfwByDAoVWZwzH~fSIUuaauF2D-Y0i9yLmw-y0qtk81sl2D0wNnQzTH4SZ2ZK0LQASDND7YNR3yaktE2GHyzbgulW2cJZzC0iW~-4vdpBr7jjZFTFsd74KQW8qrqAzuJVZhywTqhlChLXkjCeD8zR95YH1TmtO9sd0XMuCsawOLR9GWDpVB3IlJ629b2DJ-d656dQ-C2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dana Point Planning Commission on July 14 adopted Resolution approving Site Development Permit SDP‑25‑0012 to demolish an existing 300‑square‑foot legal nonconforming detached garage and construct an attached single‑story 510‑square‑foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 33772 Silver Lantern in the Lantern Village area.

Senior Planner Danny Giametti presented the project, describing the lot as roughly 4,000 square feet in an RMF (residential multifamily) zone. Giametti said the site is in an area identified as Parking Map Area 1 under the city’s ADU ordinance — a higher on‑street parking intensity area — but noted the proposed ADU meets development standards and that on‑site ADU parking is not required because the property is within a half‑mile of public transit. Giametti reported the existing driveway is about 62 feet long and can accommodate up to three vehicles, and said the project would result in a three‑bedroom single‑story structure (two bedrooms in the main dwelling and a one‑bedroom ADU) and a total finished area of roughly 1,546 square feet after improvements.

Commissioners discussed parking as their principal concern; one commissioner said tandem parking creates maneuvering constraints on a narrow street, but others said the driveway depth makes the increase in demand modest because the ADU adds only one bedroom. No public speakers spoke on the item. A commissioner moved and a second was made; the commission voted to adopt the resolution approving SDP‑25‑0012.

The resolution authorizes demolition of the existing garage and construction of the attached ADU consistent with the plans and conditions in the staff report. The project must obtain building permits and meet the conditions listed in the adopted resolution before construction.","The Planning Commission approved Site Development Permit SDP‑25‑0012 to demolish a 300‑square‑foot detached garage and construct a 510‑square‑foot attached accessory dwelling unit at 33772 Silver Lantern; staff said the design meets ADU and RMF‑14 development standards and the driveway can accommodate required parking.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6517631,"Planning commission approves 308‑square‑foot coastal addition at 23841 Salvador Bay",385,1162830,1548000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5404616-4fc8f2d4a51a00531329b86b69db9062&start=1162&end=1548","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5404616-4fc8f2d4a51a00531329b86b69db9062/thumbnail_1162830.jpg","/articles/6517631/Dana-Point/Orange-County/California/Planning-commission-approves-308squarefoot-coastal-addition-at-23841-Salvador-Bay","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517631-88648d306bb94bce3d4d01a8ee4249ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1770519693&Signature=UMFTXABVgV8MmTyoM7NlABXxGJ6VUYY-7yOrOzDx2ASWYsfbSAfXZqd7iXyBJcaKLrZZVTtP-d5MRHx~Km23x2Fu1wOhO~y75Jk9M0MM5V0knkh9hvj~xrgfpXL6taLBs~mUeFXLhT0fq9U69V4prMqt1s5lj5KC6~RJJWON5-qc~9MeF0046nxrl1HmVmtjyazRiZoSULmRMjU97EzWNMhEeOQKZvM-rFoxs28sxTLsHI6Z1yDyeT3XFofDmf~6PxLHXY6~Zc7L0SO2Khqo1ZG2BtE5sl0lswl-uCztAqU7Hv-nBgO7a7mRedivOjXp8kdTp0HNORk7bblyuBq2JQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dana Point Planning Commission on July 14 unanimously approved Coastal Development Permit CDP‑25‑0008 to allow a 308‑square‑foot addition to an existing single‑story single‑family home at 23841 Salvador Bay in the Nagle Shores community.

Senior Planner Danny Giametti told the commission the 4,500‑square‑foot lot is zoned PRD‑3 with an underlying RSF‑4 designation and lies inside the city’s coastal zone boundary, and that an addition exceeding 10% requires a coastal development permit. Giametti said the proposed addition would remain single‑story, be below the 24‑foot height limit for the zone, and use smooth white stucco, reddish‑brown garage accents and stacked stone to match the neighborhood. He said the project conforms to the City of Dana Point General Plan, the Dana Point Zoning Code and the Local Coastal Program and that the project had received HOA approval from the Miguel Shores community. Staff recommended the commission adopt the draft resolution approving the CDP subject to the findings and conditions in the packet.

Homeowner Greg Johnson spoke in favor of the project, telling commissioners he and his wife “plan to remodel and move in there permanently as a retirement home.” Commissioners voiced support, with one calling it “a minor square‑footage addition” compatible with the neighborhood and another saying the project is “visually compatible” and that he could make the required findings. A motion to approve was made and seconded; the commission voted to approve the permit.

The approval adopts the staff‑recommended findings and conditions in the draft resolution. The project record indicates the applicant must comply with the resolution’s listed conditions and obtain any building permits required before construction begins.","Dana Point Planning Commission on July 14 approved Coastal Development Permit CDP‑25‑0008 to allow a 308‑square‑foot addition to an existing single‑story home at 23841 Salvador Bay in the Nagle Shores community; staff said the project meets local coastal and zoning rules and has HOA approval.","actionData","errors"]
