10.Public hearing to review and provide recommendation to Board of Supervisors regarding: proposed amendments to County Code chapters 13.10 and 13.20 to create a Seascape Beach Estates (SBE) Combining Zone District; Zoning Plan Amendment to add 152 parcels to the SBE district; minor variation of condition of approval for PUD/Use Permit 4119-U governing 14 properties in the proposed district; and CEQA Notice of Exemption. The new proposed zone district would assign height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, and setback development standards to the neighborhood, with the purpose of protecting the public viewshed and maintaining neighborhood consistency.

 The proposed SBE Combining Zone District area is bordered on the north by Hidden Beach Park, on the east by Via Palo Alto, on the south by Via Verde, and on the west by the public beach.  This project requires a Zoning Plan Amendment to add the “-SBE” Combining Zone District to the zoning for 152 parcels:  APNs 054-181-01-19, 21-38, 054-182-01-13, 054-191-01-30, 32, 35, 39, 41, 48, 53, 59, 61-63, 65, 67, 68, 71, 75, 76, 78-81, 054-192-01-03, 054-222-01-11, 054-223-01-19, 054-231-12, and 054-631-01-18.
