A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, GRA'.NTINGA~VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 2041 CIRCLE DRIVE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, LEGALLY DESCRIBED
AT LOT 15 & N'LY 5' OF LOT 14, TRACT 3853.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of
Hermosa Beach, at a public hearing held on March 19, 1984 in the
Hermosa Beach Community Center, Room 12, considered the request of
Jerry & Leslie Newton for permission to add to the first floor and
add a new second floor to an existing single family residence;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were
presented for consideration: the variances necessary for this
addition of 40% to a structure with nonconforming yards as follows1:
1) southerly sideyard of l.8 1 in lieu of the 3.5 1 required; 2)
northerly sidyard of 3.2' in lieu of the 3.5 1 required; and 3)
front yard of 1.6' in lieu of the 6.9' required. Maintain a non-
conforming northerly sideyard of 3,2' with the addition (second
story) in lieu of the 3.5' required and encroach to within 1.5' of
the front property line with an extension of the garage in lieu
of the 6.9' required;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicants stated
that the first and third variance requests were related to the ~
garage which is only large enough for one car instead of two and
the second variance dealt with a small three-foot area on the
northerly wall which will be eliminated. They would also be
adding a parking space to the structure;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to
speak in opposition to the project;
WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of
the Board of Zoning Adjustments that the variance re~uest is

justified, for the following reasons:
1) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved because the
existing structure was built in 1941 which predates the existing
Code.
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 because any modification
of this property would require a variance; this project will improve
the property and make it more typical of today's standards; this
has been a property right that many other people in the same
vicinity and zone have exercised.
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 it does not change the density; the new construc-
tion will bring the parking up to Code.
4) That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect
the comprehensive General Plan because this variance does not
change the use of the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that ~n view of the above
findings of fact, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby grant the variance by the
following vote:
