RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-403
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR A LOT SPLIT ON PROP-
ERTY LOCATED AT 1025 SEVENTH STREET AND 1026 EIGHTH STREET,
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach,
at a public hearing held on March 2, 1981, in the Council Chambers of
the City Hall, considered the request of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Jordan
for reapproval of a lot split on property known as Lot 7, Glorietta
Villa Tract; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for
consideration; that in 1978 the applicants were granted permission to
allow an existing 5,200 sq. ft. lot to be split into two 2,600 sq. ft.
parcels by Resolution B.Z.A. 154-270; and
·1 :1.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated he had not been
told there was a time limit on ·the approval; that he had p:no:blems with :
the engineer who prepared the map; had trouble in Los Angeles, and inad-
vertantly ran out of time; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to speak in opposition
to the request; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration, the Board of Zoning Adjustments reaf-
firmed the original approval of the Board and City Council, with the
same findings and conditions as follows:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or condi-
tions applicable to the property involved because there was a pre-
ponderance of evidence that there was intention by the original
owners and that, at the time the two properties were built, it was
legal to split the lots with just a minor formal~ty. It appears
that there was just a misunderstanding between the owners and the
Building Department. The applicant has agreed to a deed restriction
to single family usage on each of the split lots. That two trust
deeds were taken at a time when it was legal to make the lot split.
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, and denied to the property in question
because the four lots on the immediate perimeter of Lot 7 have been
split to eight lots; and at the time when the houses were built,
the applicants felt that they had obtained a property right held
by surrounding properties; that the Board finds that the applicants'
failure to recognize the receipt of a single property tax bill under
the circumstances to be pardonable ignorance.
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 property is in conformity with the surrounding properties from
a standpoint of the way it is built, with two units.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because density is in conformity with
the General Plan in terms of dwelling units per acre.
AND, ·FURTHER, that this variance is granted subject to the following
