Design Review Board Meeting

The City of Laguna Beach Design Review Board convened on September 24, 2026, to review several design variance and review applications for residential projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of variances for architectural features such as trellises and pedestrian bridges that encroach into setback areas, with considerations for safety features like guardrails. The board approved multiple design reviews and variances, including projects involving elevator additions and exterior remodels, all found consistent with municipal codes and design guidelines. Motions to approve these projects passed unanimously, with conditions ensuring compliance with building codes and safety standards. No contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the approvals impact future construction and development activities within the city.
