RESOLUTION NO.07-02
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO DENY THE PROPOSED VARIANCES TO
ALLOW A 2.7-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK AND A 4.7-FOOT GARAGE
SETBACK AT THE PROPERTY ADDRESSED AS 1144 2" STREET AND
LEGALLY DESCRIBED LOT 91, TRACT NO.733
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by David and Kelly Trudgen, owners of the property located at
1144 2nd Street, seeking Variances to allow for the expansion of an existing garage with a 2.7-foot side yard
rather than the required 3 feet and a 4.7-foot garage setback rather than the required 17 feet.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
application for the Variance on January 16, 2007, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was
presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the PIanning Commission makes the
following factual findings:
l . The subject lot is a "through lot" fronting on 2"d Street with garage access from I" Place.
2. The lot is currently developed with a one-story single-family dwelling which has the following
nonconformities:
• A substandard garage width of 15.9' feet as opposed to the required 17 feet to qualify as two
spaces;
• No guest parking space as required for the R-1 zone;
• A garage setback of 4.7' feet rather than the required 17 feet; and
• A side yard setback of 2.7' feet along the west property line rather than the required 3 feet.
3. The applicant's objective is to widen the existing garage into a qualifying two -car garage, thus
allowing for a 100% addition in floor area as permitted in the Non -Conforming Ordinance (H.B.M.C.
17.52.030 (B)(2)(a)).
4. Therefore, the applicant is requesting Variances to allow a 2.7-foot side yard rather than required 10%
of lot width (3 feet), and a substandard garage setback of 4.7 feet rather than the required 17 feet. The
nonconforming westerly side yard is proposed to be maintained at the basement/1" floor, and
continued for the garage expansion.
Section 4. Based on the factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings
pertaining to the application for the Variances:
1. That the 25' x 90' lot, a common R-1 lot size on this block, is not exceptional and extraordinary as
compared to other properties in the vicinity and zone.
2. The applicant has not demonstrated that the Variances are necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right.
