Commission approves TRL for 240 Catalina Ave Unit A over adjacency concerns (5–1)
Summary
Planning staff recommended approval of a four-bedroom TRL at 240 Catalina Ave Unit A despite adjacency concerns about nearby licensed short-term rentals; the commission approved the permit by a 5–1 vote.
The planning commission adopted a resolution approving a transient rental license and coastal development permit for 240 Catalina Avenue, Unit A, a four-bedroom unit with roof-deck access. Staff identified issue items for consideration, including the potential effect on 241 Descanso Avenue if a majority of adjacent properties were short-term rentals, and the unenclosed roof deck subject to the 9 p.m.–8 a.m. outdoor-use restriction.
Local resident Tyler Rameson spoke in support, noting long family ties to the Catalina Avalon community: "I've been a, feel like a member of the Catalina Avalon community for 50 years." Commissioners discussed buffering of adjacent properties and enforcement through noise-hour restrictions. The chair announced the vote as 5 ayes and 1 no (Commissioner Jessica Romero), and the resolution (PC 25-57) was adopted.
