FixedPlanning Review

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.

ImprovedCity Coverage

Laguna Beach SB 9 and major remodel rules updated

Laguna Beach SB 9 checks now require an approved, final Coastal Development Permit, not a pending one. Remodel, addition, reroof and demolition reviews follow the June 2026 Major Remodel handout, counting walls per floor and per structure, and staff contacts point to the City contact form.

FixedPermit Assistant

Correct publish dates for Laguna Beach applications

Ask AI now gives the City's own publish dates for the replaced Laguna Beach SB 9, ADU and CUP applications, rather than the date CrossBeam last checked the City website.

ImprovedCity Coverage

Laguna Beach references refreshed from the City site

Laguna Beach reference material now matches the City's current site: new ADU and SB 9 application numbers, three new applications, the latest public hearing notices and CDP exemption list, and recent monthly building reports, so answers and screenings cite current forms.
