31985 and 31987 Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA

An appeal puts an already-approved coastal SFR demolition/rebuild at risk — outcome will signal council's appetite for new residential construction on Coast Highway and could delay or kill the entitlements.

Laguna Beach City Council will hear a public appeal of the Design Review Board's approval of Design Review, Coastal Development Permit, and Variance (DR 2026-0024 / CDP 2026-0025 / VAR 2026-0026) for demolition of existing structures and construction of a new single-family residence with a two-car garage at 31985 and 31987 Coast Highway in the R-1 zone, categorically exempt under CEQA Class 3.
