ImprovedPlanning Review

Faster, more accurate Laguna Beach planning review

Laguna Beach planning reviews read plan sheets in parallel batches, so runs finish sooner. The Design Review criteria block now prints only when a design review entitlement applies, garage and zone setback checks no longer raise false failures, and walking-distance lookups no longer fall back to driving routes.

Laguna planning reviews read zoning rules more precisely

Laguna Beach planning reviews now apply open-space rules only to lots with more than one dwelling, decide ADU parking transit exemptions from walking distance, show the parcel's prior City cases, and update water-efficient landscape, CEQA and coastal appeal wording.

Design Review section only when Design Review applies

Laguna Beach Planning letters now include the Design Review Authority section only when the project actually needs Design Review approval, based on the worksheet's entitlement decisions. Ministerial ADU and SB 9 lot split letters no longer carry it.

Laguna Planning letters keep their Missing Information section

Laguna Beach Planning letters now list missing submittals in a dedicated Missing Information section built from the review's findings. Before, the section was improvised and dropped from some letters.
