    Item 5 6710 La Jolla Blvd (696299/Gravilla Townhomes, Neely)

    I pulled the Development Permit Review Committee’s recommended approval of the Gravilla Townhomes project from last month’s Consent Agenda because the required Finding for a Coastal Development Permit that: The proposed coastal development is in conformity with the certified Local Coastal Program land use plan and complies with all regulations of the certified Implementation Program, cannot be made, because the project approved by the DPR Committee on May 17, 2022:
    
 1. Exceeded the Maximum Allowed structure height by Plumb Line Measurement;
    2. The Land Use Plan does not allow a Bonus increase in Floor Area Ratio;
    3. The Project Exceeds the Maximum Allowed Gross Floor Area and Floor Area Ratio for the Zone;
    4. The architect’s Gross Floor Area (GFA) calculations were erroneous and under represented the actual GFA;
    5. A Horizontal trellis like Element Extended Outside the Street Facade Envelope;
    6. No commercial /retail use as required by the Zone 4 requirements of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance is proposed; and
    7. No Variance requests have been submitted for the non-compliant code issues.

    I am please to report that the architect has revised his drawings to address a number of the issues. However, a number of significant issues are still unresolved, and are described in detail in my Merten letter re: Gravilla 7-4-2022.pdf at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mzafzn420oa64y0/Merten%20Letter%20Re%20Gravilla%207-4-2022.pdf?dl=0

    Item 6 – 735 Nautilus Street
    The required Finding for a Coastal Development Permit cannot be made because the project exceeds the maximum allowed structure height limit .
Please see an in-depth explanation as to how the project exceeds the maximum structure height limit at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9q3zoqkerrqv6y6/Merten%20Letter%20Re%20735%20Nautilus%204-26-2022.pdf?dl=0

    To further illustrate the degree to which the proposed 735 NAUTILUS STREET project exceeds the 30 ft. maximum allowed structure height limit, please see my second letter dated May 3, 2022 at:
