Summary

At the April 13 director's hearing the director moved and approved the consent agenda of routine permits and approved the Meta Street major design review with conditions; the Ventura Fish Market modernization was recommended for approval pending an updated traffic study and operational conditions.

At the April 13 director's hearing in San Buenaventura the director took the following formal actions:

- Consent agenda: Director Rachel Diamond moved the consent agenda and announced approval of the minutes and multiple routine permit items (including Ventura County Christian School relocation permit, Silverston Residence coastal development permit, harbor groundwater monitoring wells project, Kitty Land bridal boarding use permit, Hansen Residence CDP, and a minor variance for an ADU). Staff recorded no separate roll-call votes in the transcript and the director announced the items as approved per staff reports.

- Project 25-0753 (1279 Meta Street): Director Rachel Diamond approved the major design review and lot line adjustment with explicit conditions: underground on-site utilities (including alley poles as required), replace open awnings with solid roof slats or shingles, convert stairwell siding to stucco, ensure continuous gutters, and submit updated elevations prior to building permit issuance. The approval was announced verbally during the hearing; no formal roll-call vote appears in the transcript.

- Project 25-0911 (Ventura Fish Market): Staff recommended approval of the modernization project, but Director Diamond required an updated traffic impact and intra-site truck maneuvering study, ingress/egress signage, an operational plan for staggered truck scheduling and on-site management, and anti-idling/no-honking measures prior to building-permit issuance. Harbor District staff agreed to update the studies and coordinate operational plans with the city.

For each approved item the hearing record indicates conditions or follow-up submittal requirements; the transcript does not include formal roll-call tallies.
