Commission narrowly approves three-townhome condominium and parcel map at 15903 Brighton Ave
Summary
The commission approved Resolution PC10-25 to allow construction of three three-story townhome units and a tentative parcel map at 15903 Brighton Avenue (EA2-25; SPR1-25; TPM1-25). The vote was 3–1 with one commissioner dissenting. A nearby neighbor raised concerns about a temporary construction fence and survey; staff said a survey was provided and will send code enforcement to inspect.
The Gardena Planning Commission approved a tentative parcel map and site plan for a three-unit townhouse condominium at 15903 Brighton Avenue, adopting Resolution PC10-25 on a 3–1 vote.
Planning staff described the project (EA2-25, SPR1-25, TPM1-25) as three three-story townhomes in an R-3 zone with approximately 1,684 square feet of living area per unit, a 550-square-foot garage for each unit and a 100-square-foot deck. Staff said the project is being considered under a CEQA Class 3 exemption for small new construction and noted the tentative parcel map creates three parcels with individual airspace interests. The staff recommendation was to adopt Resolution PC10-25 approving the EA, site plan review and tentative parcel map subject to the attached conditions and file a notice of exemption.
Applicant Mason Zojojeji, identifying his business as Silvergate LLC, described prior local projects and confirmed the plan calls for a single driveway entrance and vinyl fencing along the perimeter. A nearby neighbor spoke during public comment, saying the temporary green construction fence may slightly encroach on their property. The applicant said the fence is temporary and that monuments and survey markers locate the legal boundary; staff confirmed the applicant submitted survey documentation and said their recommendation is that a licensed land surveyor establish the boundary. Staff also offered to send a code enforcement officer to inspect the fence location, and agreed to contact the neighbor the next day.
Commissioner Connell moved to adopt Resolution PC10-25 approving the environmental assessment, site plan review and tentative parcel map subject to conditions; the motion was seconded and the vote was recorded as 3–1, with Vice Chair Khan, the Chair (name read variably in the record) and Commissioner Langley voting yes and Commissioner Sherman voting no. Staff reminded attendees of the 10-calendar-day appeal period.
The approval allows the applicant to proceed toward building permits and recordation of the tentative parcel map once conditions are satisfied and any appeals, if filed, are resolved.
