Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

In 1991 the Board adopted Division II of Title 20 of the Mendocino County Code through Ordinance No. 3785. Included in Division II is Section 20.536.005(C) which provides for the reporting of Coastal Development Administrative Permits approved by the Coastal Permit Administrator to the Board of Supervisors.                     

 

Summary of Request

The applicant intends to convert an existing structure to residential use. The structure was most recently used for a restaurant (Sweet Life Bakery) and personal services (Pacific Coast Ayurveda), both of which closed. The structure was originally built and used as a residence in 1961 until it was converted to a beauty salon in 1988. The conversion would involve interior remodeling, relocating an existing 64 square foot shed, installing a new 120 square foot shed, and changing the color of exterior trim from turquoise to dark green.

 

The Coastal Development Permit was administratively approved by the Coastal Permit Administrator (CPA) on August 10, 2026, and requires the Board of Supervisors authorization for issuance of the permit. The CPA staff report is attached for review.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Order that CDP_2026-0009 be scheduled for a public hearing and be processed pursuant to Mendocino County Code (MCC) Section 20.536.015.
