Tear down most of home at 301 Alta Avenue and build two-story house

In plain English

The Zoning Administrator would approve permits to demolish more than 50% of an existing single-family house at 301 Alta Avenue and build a new two-story home, on a coastal-zone property near a watercourse. The coastal permit can be appealed to the California Coastal Commission.

We explain items like this one from the staff report, and we haven't found it yet (it may not be posted). We check twice a day; until then, see the official documents below.
