DRB Meeting - October 22, 2026

The City of Laguna Beach Design Review Board met on October 22, 2026. The board approved a revised 2027 meeting calendar, adding meetings on May 6 and November 4; the motion passed unanimously. It also continued applications for 195 High Drive and 852 Diamond Street to dates uncertain. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified. A public comment about parking and a business permit was referred to city staff and the appropriate planning contacts.

The board approved residential design-review applications for 31972 Virginia Way, 3192 Alta Laguna Boulevard (with a condition requiring screening trees), 1435 Skyline Drive, and 1564 Catella Street; the Catella approval passed with one dissenting vote. For the larger proposed residence at 1268 Anacapa Way, the board continued the design review and coastal development permit to January 28, 2027, directing the applicant to revise the plans in response to concerns about building mass, privacy, views, landscaping, and the pool and deck design.
