Discussion and Possible Action to Direct Planning & Building Services to Effectively Exempt like-for-like Re-Roofing Applications within Coastal Zone from Coastal Development Planning Review, Coordinating with California Coastal Commission on Best Approach, Whether Waiver, Immediate Local Coastal Plan Amendment, Urgency Ordinance or Alternative
(Sponsors: Supervisor Williams and Supervisor Gjerde)

RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Direct Planning & Building Services to effectively exempt like-for-like re-roofing applications within Coastal Zone from Coastal Development planning review, coordinating with California Coastal Commission on best approach, whether waiver, immediate Local Coastal Plan amendment, Urgency Ordinance or Alternative.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
None.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
At present, Planning review can delay re-roofing projects by months. Re-roofing is categorically repair and maintenance. Where like-for-like materials are to be used, for example a composite roof replacement with composite, there is not a public policy benefit in delaying applicants. The county will ultimately always approve. We anticipate these projects being exempt under the LCP update. Until such time, we should not collect a fee or delay projects. The building permit serves as sufficient review.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternate handling.
