Design review board okays attached ADU at 930 Skyline Terrace
Summary
Board approved Coastal Development Permit and CEQA exemption for an attached ADU with excess site coverage at 930 Skyline Terrace (Resolution 25‑1286), vote 4‑0.
The Laguna Beach Design Review Board voted 4‑0 to approve a coastal development permit and CEQA exemption for a new attached accessory dwelling unit at 930 Skyline Terrace that exceeds building site coverage.
Staff summarized the project as an attached ADU with two components — a conversion and an expansion — and recommended approval of Resolution No. 25‑1286 authorizing Coastal Development Permit 25‑1286 and finding the project exempt from CEQA. The staff report noted the project exceeds site coverage, which is why it required board review.
Project architect Vincent DiBiase told the board the conversion includes an expansion from a second‑story bedroom in part of the unit and that the project had neighbor support. "We also I think we sent some letters around from the neighbors that all support the project," he told the board. Board members who visited the site said they found the excess lot coverage compatible and that the ADU "doesn't add to mass and scale." One board member noted the design is "very thoughtfully designed" and conforms to community character.
Motion and vote: The board adopted Resolution 25‑1286 approving Coastal Development Permit 25‑1286 for an attached ADU with excess building site coverage at 930 Skyline Terrace and finding the action exempt from CEQA; vote 4‑0.
Provenance: Transcript discussion begins at the staff presentation describing the two‑component ADU and ends with the motion, second and the 4‑0 vote being recorded.
