Del Mar roundup: Design review and neighbor meetings held; Council set for wastewater, lagoon funding votes July 7
Recent Del Mar meetings covered residential projects on 10th Street and Stratford, but no decisions are confirmed yet — all three gatherings from late June have agendas published but minutes not yet available. The most consequential items are on the July 7 City Council agenda, where members will consider a regional wastewater agreement, a $1,031,000 federal grant for lagoon shoreline protection, and roughly $170,000 in infrastructure and safety equipment spending.
Design Review Board — June 24
The Design Review Board was scheduled to review DRB25-021, a permit request for residential renovations and additions at 520 10th Street. The project includes a 193-square-foot total addition, a 272-square-foot deck extension, and conversion of 150 square feet of breezeway into living space. The board was also set to approve minutes from its May 27, 2026 meeting. Minutes from the June 24 session have not been published, so no outcomes are confirmed.
Citizens' Participation Program — June 25 and June 29
Two Citizens' Participation Program (CPP) meetings gave neighbors a chance to weigh in on proposed home projects before formal applications are filed. CPP meetings do not produce binding decisions.
On June 25 at Del Mar Townhall, applicant Sean Barry of Barry Estates proposed demolishing the existing residence at 1641 Stratford Way and building a new single-family home. The city contact listed is Associate Planner Jean Crutchfield.
On June 29, applicant John Gildered proposed demolishing an existing dwelling at 919 Stratford Court and constructing a new two-story home with an attached garage.
Neither meeting has published minutes.
