A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
124 STRAND, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach,
at a public hearing held on March 1:, 1982 in the Clark·.commun1ty ·: -
Bil:tlaing ,--coni;:;idered ·the-·reqaest-::·.of Dr~::..:Thoma·s~:..Sutte:tfield ; to
demolish a utility room and add to the depth of the existing two-car
garage with a sunroom at the second story level, increasing his lot
coverage from 68.05% to 73%; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated that his main
objective in requesting the variance was to add more parking space;
and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to speak in opposi-
tion to the request; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of the Board of
Zoning Adjustments that the request is justified, subject to condi-
tions, for the following reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applic:,tble to the property involved because the
property was built in 1926 which predates existing Code; the
addition is very minor in nature.
2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the
same vicinity and zone, and denied to the property in question
because, due to the variance, the property will be able to provide
an additional two parking spaces.
3. The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare , ·or injurious to the property or improvements
in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located because
it will not substantially decrease light, air, open space, or the
incident of fire; it will provide additional off-street parking
in a completely congested area; there were no persons speaking in
opposition at the public hearing; the deed restriction will keep
the use single family.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because the deed restriction will keep
this property in a use lower than that permitted by the General Plan
and/or zoning.
AND, FURTHER, that this variance is granted subject to the following
condition:
1. That a deed restriction be executed limiting the use of the build-
ing to a single family residence.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of
fact, the Board of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the request by
the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Cutler, DeBellis, Ebey, Toth Williams, Chmn. Merrill
NOES: None
ABSENT: Chmn. Moore
