WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach did on June 7,
1971, conduct a public hearing to consider this application for a variance to permit
addition of a third unit to existing duplex which will add over 40% to existing struct-
ure which has nonconforming sideyard at southwest corner of building of 2 ft. 2 inches
at ground level and four inches at second floor level in I ieu of required three feet,
and is seven feet from single residence on the lot, in lieu of the required eight feet
required between buildings used for human habitation, and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, there was presented written and oral testimony on the
property described as follows: Lot 16, Block 6, Hermosa Beach Tract, known as 512-512½
Beach Drive,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the findings at said hearing, the Board
of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant this variance for the following reasons:
1. There are some exceptional circumstances with respect to this property
since the lot is a corner lot and is somewhat larger in land area than
surrounding properties, and therefore can fulfill the proper garage
requirements for R-3 use.
2. The nonconforming sideyard faces an alley and therefore is not detrimental
to properties in the immediate vicinity. •
3. It will not be in conflict with the general plan which designates high
density residential for this specific area.
4. Property is zoned R-3 and therefore granting of this variance will not
be granting more than other R-3 properties with this amount of land area
enjoy.
