Document Description
A request by ABR Property L.P. for a phased Development Plan/ Costal Development Permit to add hotel accommodations and related facilities including various sized temporary events to the Avila Beach Golf Resort (Resort). The project includes, but is not limited to, a request for a modification to the setback standards for the proposed project in order to contain development in the least sensitive portion of the site, an exception to allow additional business and access signage area, and a request to modify the road improvement standards along Avila Beach Drive. The Development Plan application will also concurrently amend and update the San Luis Bay Estates Master Development Plan to provide consistency between the San Luis Bay Estates Master Development Plan (SLBE MDP) and the San Luis Bay Coastal Area Plan. The project will result in the disturbance of approximately 17 acres on the 170-acre site with approximately 14,700 cubic yards of cut and 18,100 cubic yards of fill. The subject property is identified as APN 076-181-032, APN 076-181-039, APN 076-181-061 and 076-205-001 and is located on approximately 170 acres.
The Resort is situated immediately north of Avila Beach Drive, adjacent to the community of Avila Beach. The property is situated at the edge of San Luis Bay, where San Luis Creek flows into the Pacific Ocean. It is bounded to the north and east by steeper hillsides and residential development known as San Luis Bay Estates, and Avila Beach Drive and the community of Avila to the south and west. The Resort property has a land use designation of Recreation (REC). The Resort is part of the 1,100-acre San Luis Bay Estates Master Development Plan and located within the San Luis Bay Coastal Planning Area within the Urban Reserve Line (URL) of the Avila Community.
