A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ALLOWABLE LOT COVERAGE AND GARAGE DEPTH ON PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 248 -31ST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on August 16, 1976, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered
the request of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas F. Bird to make a garage addition exceeding the
65% allowable lot coverage and with a garage depth of less than 20 ft.; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that the existing garage is, and the proposed addition will be, about 18 1 611 , however,
there is an exception in the code to allow existing garages that are less than 20 ft;
arid
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated the present garage is about 18 1 611
and he wants to add onto that garage at the same depth; there will be a sundeck over
the addition; 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 variance request is justified, subject to conditions, for the following reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditfons
applicable to the property involved because of on-street parking problems.
2. That the 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 other properties in
the vicinity exceed 65% lot coverage, and several other existing garages are
less than the 20 ft. minimum depth.
3. That the granting of the variance will riot 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 garage with redwood deck
will improve the area, and no trees or grass will be removed.
4. That the granting of the variance will not .adversely affect the comprehensive
General Plan because it will not affect density, will provi·de more off-street
parking and add to the attractiveness of the property.
AND, FURTHER, that the variance is granted subject to the following conditions:
1. That the area above the garage be open to the sky, with no roof and no
railing exceeding 42 inches in h~t~ht.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of fact, the Board of
Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the variance request by the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Ebey, Shutz, Toth, Chmn. Cummings
NOES: None
ABSENT: Comms. Beard, Collins, Sims
