Zoning Administrator Meeting March 5, 2026

The City of San Clemente Zoning Administrator meeting on March 5, 2026, focused on two public hearings concerning minor exception permits for residential property modifications. The first case involved a single-family home addition requesting reduced side yard setbacks to accommodate new entry doors, a staircase, and balcony enclosure. The zoning administrator approved the permit, noting the project's alignment with zoning goals and neighborhood compatibility. The second case addressed a bathroom and closet addition to a triplex, also requesting a reduced side yard setback. The project included modifications to an existing balcony to comply with setback encroachment limits. The permit was approved with conditions to ensure compliance. Both projects aimed to enhance residential living spaces while maintaining neighborhood character and zoning compliance. No significant budget or contracting discussions were noted.
