Summary
The City of Encinitas zoning administrative hearing considered a lot line adjustment and coastal development permit for four parcels at 749 Mays Hollow Lane. Staff found the application consistent with local policies but said Coastal Commission comments were still pending; no formal decision was recorded at the hearing.
City of Encinitas planning staff reviewed a lot line adjustment and coastal development permit application for four legal lots at 749 Mays Hollow Lane during the April 8, 2025 zoning administrative hearing.
Christina Bustamante, senior planner for the City of Encinitas, said, "This project proposes a boundary adjustment and coastal development permit for the lot line adjustment for 4 legal lots and rescinding an existing approved major use permit for a private school." Bustamante told the hearing there is no development proposed as part of the application and that the parcels include a riparian wetland.
The application is filed as case Multi70482024. Bustamante provided net lot areas for the four parcels: Parcel 1 — 26,976 square feet; Parcel 2 — 28,041 square feet; Parcel 3 — 26,695 square feet; Parcel 4 — 55,943 square feet. She said staff found the proposal consistent with the applicable general plan, municipal code and the local coastal program and that the required findings could be made.
Public comment on the file included a written submission from Manolo Turner and a written comment from the Coastal Commission received about 4:30 p.m. on the day of the hearing. Bustamante said the Coastal Commission indicated it needed additional time to prepare more extensive comments and that formal comments were expected to follow. The Coastal Commission submission was described in the staff report as a forthcoming set of comments rather than a finalized determination.
Katie Ennis, planning manager, asked whether the applicant wished to speak. The applicant declined to add remarks, saying, "I don't really feel the need to speak. I think staff has done a good job in presenting the facts." Ennis told the hearing that staff would review the comments from Manolo Turner and the Coastal Commission, address any issues raised, and make both comments available on the city website prior to approval of the notice of decision.
No motion or vote was recorded in the hearing transcript. Staff indicated the comments would be considered before the city issues a final notice of decision on the lot line adjustment and coastal development permit.
The hearing concluded at 5:07 p.m.
