P.C. RESOLUTION NO.06-5
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING AN
ADDITION TO AN EXISTING NONCONFORMING SINGLE
FAMILY DWELLING RESULTING IN A GREATER THAN
50% INCREASE IN VALUATION AT 126 34Tn STREET
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
Section 1. An application was filed by Magdi Mekari, owner of real property located at 126 30
Street, requesting an addition to an existing nonconforming single-family residence, which results in
a greater than 50% increase in valuation, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
January 17, 2006, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, were presented to and
considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following factual findings:
I. The applicant is proposing to add 1,370 square feet of livable area, on the first and third floors,
to an existing single-family dwelling with nonconforming conditions with respect to guest
parking, lot coverage, driveway slope, garage and cave setbacks, turning area, and rear and side
yard requirements. The expansion will increase the Iiving area of the house from 2,205 square
feet to 3,575 square feet. The project results in a 69.5% increase in valuation.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
1. The existing nonconformities are not severe or unusual.
2. The scale of the proposed expansion is reasonable, and is consistent with planning and zoning
requirements for the R-3 zone and does not warrant requiring the current nonconforming
conditions to be brought into conformance;
3. Approval of the expansion is consistent with the intent and goals of Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning
Ordinance;
4. Pursuant to ,Section 17.46.015 of the Hermosa Beach Zoning Ordinance, the property has
been determined to have a convex slope affecting four of the four corner point elevations;
5. The project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA guidelines, Section 15301 e(2) with the finding that the
project is in an area with available services and not'in an environmentally sensitive area.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an addition to an
existing nonconforming single-family residence resulting in an extension of existing walls with a
nonconforming side yard, subject to the following Conditions of Approval:
1. The project shall be consistent with submitted plans. Minor modifications to the plan
not involving any further expansion or remodel may be reviewed and approved by the
Community Development Director.

a) The submitted plans shall comply with all plan check corrections.

d) The first story floor plan shall be redesigned to allow interior access to all living areas
with the dwelling.
e) The plans shall be revised to show compliance with all provisions of the Uniform
Building Code.
2. Prior to issuance of building permits for demolition and construction, the contractor
shall verify the structural integrity of the proposed walls to be retained with a
structural inspection approved by the Community Development Director, with details
incorporated on construction drawings. This may require further additional structural
pest inspections and/or an inspection by a structural engineer.
3. The applicant shall submit all required plans and reports to comply with the City's
construction debris recycling program including manifests from both the recycler and
County landfill.
4. Upon issuance of building permits the project shall proceed in compliance with the
scope of work outlined on the plans and any further demolition or construction
contrary to said plans will result in project delays in order for the City to review project
modifications, and may require new plan submittals and Planning Commission review
to proceed with construction work.
