Page 2 of 5 <br />January 24, 2019 <br />BAR Minutes <br />relief from the public access requirement, which was a Shoreline Master Program requirement. Staff <br />worked with the applicant to find a mutually agreeable location for the public access, which was <br />reviewed as part of the shoreline permit. The shoreline substantial development permit has been <br />issued. Since the hearing was rescheduled to January 24, 2019 new public notice regarding the <br />hearing date was provided, which included notice to the property owners within 500 feet of the <br />property; posting the site; and publication in the newspaper. <br />Staff asked the Commissioners the appearance of fairness questions. There were no disclosures, and <br />no one objected to the Commissioners hearing the project. <br />A walkthrough of the proposal was given, which is for a (CUP) and a design review application. <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP): <br />There are three phases of the project. Staff recommended approval of the CUP with two conditions. <br />Typically, CUP permits expire within a year. However, this is a phased project and the project <br />requires a substantial shoreline development permit approval, which has a five-year expiration <br />timeframe. Therefore, staff recommended the expiration of the CUP be consistent with the shoreline <br />permit. Under the shoreline provisions the construction will start in two years and be completed in <br />five years, with the possibility of a one-year extension that may be granted by the DCD Director. <br />DESIGN REVIEW: <br />Staff summarized the criteria of approval for the design review and recommended approval with two <br />conditions. <br />Staff answered questions from the Commissioners. <br />Sean Hill, Architect for the applicant, said the only change to the project since it was heard by the <br />BAR in October was the public access they have been working on with staff.
