Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Accept informational report regarding the issuance of Emergency Coastal Development Permit EM_2025-0001 (Passalacqua) to replace the foundation and front façade of an existing structure, located at 38911 N. Highway 1, Westport, APN: 013-300-58.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
In 1991 the Board adopted Division II of Title 20 of Mendocino County Code through Ordinance No. 3785. Included in Division II is Section 20.536.055 which allows Permits for Approval of Emergency Work. In cases of a verified emergency, temporary emergency authorization to proceed with remedial measures may be given by the Director or his or her designee until such time as a Coastal Development Permit application is filed. The Director shall report in writing to the Board of Supervisors at each meeting the emergency permits applied for or issued since the last report, with a description of the nature of the emergency and the work involved. The report of the Director shall be informational only. The decision to issue an emergency permit is solely at the discretion of the Director. Notice of emergency permits shall be provided by phone or letter to the California Coastal Commission within three (3) days, following issuance of the emergency permit.
Summary of Request:
Storm damage and foundation failure are the primary cause of the Emergency Permit request. The front façade has been blown off by wind during a storm and functions to laterally brace the building against seismic activity, reduces the amount of wind uplift on the roof, prevents the rapid decay of key structural members from moisture damage, and general structural reinforcement. The existing wood foundation is failing, and the replacement would conform to the current building code. The replacement of expansive soil with engineered fill would provide structural integrity.
The emergency permit was issued on June 23, 2025, and becomes null and void at the end of sixty (60) days. Prior to expiration of this Emergency Permit, the applicant shall submit a standard Coastal Development Permit application for the work authorized by the permit.
Alternative Action/Motion:
