BACKGROUND:
The Coastside Design Review Committee (CDRC) reviews new development proposals to ensure that they are compatible with the physical setting of the site and the visual character of the communities of Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Miramar, and Princeton. The Committee reviews development applications for compliance with specific site planning and architectural standards developed for the area.
DISCUSSION:
Beverly Garrity has served as the Montara Community Representative since her initial partial term in June 2014 and is seeking reappointment for a second full term. She had served for many years as Chair to the CDRC and the Committee has benefitted significantly from her organizational skills and enthusiasm in formalizing the bylaws, procedure, and training process of the CDRC.
Mark Stegmaier has served on the CRDC since a partial term in 2019 and will be fulfilling his first full term as an Alternate upon approval of this memorandum. He has over thirty years of experience in construction in the Bay Area, including design and drainage. Mark is a United States Army Veteran.
John Steadman has served on the CDRC since his initial partial term began in October 2020 and is being recommended for reappointment of a first full term. As a lifelong resident of the Coastside, John Steadman has extensive experience as a general contractor and builder. He has provided useful insight into the development process on the coastside of San Mateo County
Rebecca Katkin has been serving on the CDRC since her initial partial term began in July 2020 and is being recommended for a first full term. Rebecca is a practicing architect living on the coastside. She is the Principal and Owner at Katkin Architecture with emphases in residential architecture and commercial, arts institutional and residential interiors. She also has taught interior design at California College of the Arts and Art Institute of California.
