City Council sustains design‑review board approval for 482 Astor Street
Summary
Laguna Beach City Council sustained the Design Review Board’s approval of design review 25‑0583 for 482 Astor Street following an automatic appeal required when a board member has ownership interest in a subject property. Staff recommended sustaining the approval and the council voted 3–0 at a special meeting.
Laguna Beach City Council sustained the Design Review Board’s approval for a modification to a previously approved design at 482 Astor Street in a special meeting earlier in the evening. The item reached council review as an automatic appeal because a Design Review Board member disclosed an ownership interest in the property under municipal code rules.
City project planner Kate Kasama described the matter as a code‑required appeal of Design Review 25‑0583 and recommended that the council sustain the board’s prior approval. Kasama told the council there had been no public opposition submitted to staff for the item.
After opening and closing public comment with no speakers, the council adopted the recommendation to sustain the Design Review Board approval. The vote was recorded as 3–0 at the special meeting; council member Jones had recused from the item because of a proximity/ownership disclosure, and the meeting had a reduced attendance for that item.
Ending: Staff will record the council’s action and proceed with final administrative steps for the project consistent with the sustained design review approval.
