The Laguna Beach Design Review Board took votes on multiple items at its Nov. 6, 2025 meeting. The most substantive individual hearings (described in separate reports) included a continued, contentious application at 2647 Glen Eyrie and a conditioned approval at 951 Cliff Drive. The remaining items were largely routine approvals or short hearings; the board adopted resolutions or motions on each as summarized below.
Key votes and outcomes (motions carried by roll call unless noted):
- 22 Vista Del Sol (Design Review 25‑1514; Variance 25‑0060): Approved; roll call recorded unanimous support. (Motion and roll call announced at 00:22:23.)
- 2500 Glen Eyrie (Design Review 25‑1431 et al.): Continued to the DRB meeting of November 13, 2025 (motion carried by roll call).
- 2755 Park Avenue (Design Review 25‑1566): Approved for Jerusalem stone cladding only after applicant withdrew chimney shrouds; CEQA categorical exemption noted; motion passed 5–0.
- 3005 Mountain View Drive (Design Review 25‑1533): Approved new in‑ground pool and spa with condition requiring a shroud around pool mechanical equipment to the satisfaction of city staff; motion passed 5–0.
- 855 Manzanita Drive (Design Review 25‑1990): Pool approved as an expedited item consistent with prior approval; motion passed 5–0.
- 31321 Brook Street (Design Review 25‑1809; CDP 25‑1761): Approved expanded deck and attached ADU; board requested building department require a staging plan to manage construction access and traffic; motion passed 5–0.
The board handled these items as roll‑call votes with no recorded dissent on the passed items. Several approvals were found categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines §15301 or §15303 as noted in staff reports; where conditions were required (for example, equipment screening or landscaping), staff will verify compliance before issuing building permits.
