RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-513
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 322-30TH STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California, at a public hearing held on June 20,
1983, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered the
request of Mr. Lee A. Hennis for permission to add over 40% to an
existing single family dwelling with a nonconforming side yard
setback of 2.6 feet in lieu of the 3 feet required and to maintain
the nonconforming setback with the addition (second story),
legally described as Lot 28, Block 115, Shakespeare Tract;
WHEREAS, as said public hearing, the following facts
were presented for consideration: the general plan designation
is medium density residential, lot size is 30' x 80,5, lot area
is 2,415 sq. ft., existing lot coverage is 51.5% and proposed lot
coverage is 62.69%. The percentage of the addition is 54%;
WHEREAS, as said public hearing, the applicant's repre-
sentative stated that the applicant is requesting the variance due
to an already existing nonconforming side yard. The setback on
the east side is 4/10' short of the required three feet. The
applicant needs the variance to add on to his home;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no orie appeared to
speak in opposition to the project;
WHEREAS, ~fter due consideration, it is the opinion of
the Board of Zoning Adjustments that the variance request is
justified for the following reasons:
1) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions applicable to the property involved because this
house was built before current codes; the variance requested is
d-2 ' .J

exceedingly minor and does not extend the ground footprint of the
property being only at the second story level.
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 to expand this
house in a way that many others have done in the same vicinity
and zone would require a variance; there is no alternate construc-
tion that would void the need for a variance other than the owner
tearing down the house;
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 this is a minor construction project taking
place only at the second story level; it will not affect ground
access or significantly affect air and light circulation;
4) That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect
the comprehensive General Plan because this project does not
change the use of the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in 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:
AYES:
NOES:
Comms. Corder, Williams, Chmn. Moore
