A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
29 -19TH STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach,
at a public hearing held on June 29, 1982 at the Community Center,
considered the request of Mr. and Mrs. James Parker for permission to
add a second unit on an R-2B lot providing less than the required
usable open space; on property legally described as Lot 25, Block 20,
Hermosa Beach Tract; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented
for consideration; that the R-2B zone requires 300 sq. ft. of usable
open space per dwelling unit; that the proposed open space is 405 sq.ft.;
that the above property is located on a walk street and the applicants
utilize a 20 x 37 ft. area of City property as part of their front yard
as with all walk street properties; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated that the fact
that his lot is wider than other on the block should be taken into
consideration; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, a petition containing the signatures
of four of the immediate neighbors was submitted in support of the
request and no one appeared to speak in opposition; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of the Board of
Zoning Adjustments that the request is justified for the following
reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved because it does
abut City property with 740 sq. ft. of open space; there appears
to be no feasible constructional alternative that would provide
the usable .open space on the property itself.
2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoy-
ment of a substantial property right possessed by other property
in the same vicinity and zone, and denied to the property in
question because it predates existing code; others have been
granted the same right in the same vicinity and zone.
S. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is
located because it does not substantially reduce, light, air,
open space, and the fact that it is next to 740 sq.ft. of usable
open space mitigates any impacts; all of the adjacent property
owners signed a petition in favor of the variance; no one appeared
to speak in opposition at the public hearing.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because it does not exceed the density
allowed by the general plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of
