A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1160 CYPRESS AVENUE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach,
at a public hearing held on July 19, 1982 in the Council Chambers of
the City Hall, considered the request of Gary and Maude Feil for per-
mission to add more than 40% to an existing single family dwelling
with a nonconforming 3'6'' sideyard in lieu of the 4' required; said
addition to conform to the required setback, on property legally des-
cribed as Lot 9, Tract 780; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicants' representative stated
the existing residence is only 1000 sq. ft. in size and the variance
will allow a bedroom, bath, sitting area and deck at the second level;
and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to speak in opposition
to the request; 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 condi-
tions applicable to the property involved because the building was
built before 1947 which predates existing Code; to bring the build-
ing into conformity would be exceptionally difficult; the second
story addition meets the requirements of a 40 ft. wide lot.
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 many other properties in the same vicinity and zone are
able to build second stories, many of them with minor variances of
this sort.
3. That 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
the second story meets all the setback requirements of the current
Code and does not have a negative effect on air and light circula-
tion; there is no change .to the ground floor footprint of the build-
ing; there was no negative input at the public hearing or in writing
to the Board.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the com-
prehensive General Plan because this project does not change the use
of the property which is acceptable under the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of
fact, the Board of Zoning Adjustments hereby grants the variance by the
following vote:
AYES: Comms. Cutler, DeBellis, Merrill, Williams, Chmn. Moore
NOES: None
ABSENT: Comms. Ebey, Toth
