Applicant Seeks Approval for Major Additions to Two-Story Property on Canyon View Drive

During the recent Design Review Board meeting in Laguna Beach, significant discussions centered around a proposed expansion of a residential property located at the end of Canyon View Drive. The applicant is seeking approval for aggregate additions that would increase the living area of the existing two-story structure by more than 50%.

The plan includes converting approximately 5,000 square feet of non-habitable space into habitable living areas while maintaining the existing three-car garage. This transformation aims to enhance the usability of the property, which is situated on a private street and is accessed through a gated entrance.

Additionally, it was noted that an urban lot split had previously been processed for this property, indicating ongoing development and changes in land use in the area.

The proposed changes are expected to impact the local community by potentially increasing housing availability and improving property values. As the Design Review Board continues to evaluate such projects, residents are encouraged to stay informed about developments that may affect their neighborhoods.
