(, I v RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-417 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 433 -31ST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA. WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public hearing held on June 15, 1981, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered the request of Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Loeffler for permission to: 1) Add a second story to an existing single family dwelling with nonconforming west sideyard of 2.87', an east sideyard of 2.95' in lieu of the 3' required, and with a non- conforming front setback of 4.3' in lieu of the 7' required; also to maintain the nonconformity with the addition; 2) To add a first floor deck and second story balcony encroaching to front property line; 3) To add square footage to an existing building with noncon- forming parking depth of 16' in lieu of the 18' required; on property known as Lot 17, Block 124, Shakespeare Tract; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated they have always utilized their off-street parking at the rear of the build- ing and would continue to do so; that they would be removing an existing deck located at the rear and west side property line; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, two petitions in favor of granting the variance were submitted, one with 6 names and one with 3 names; and WHEREAS, after 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 the build- ing was built in 1941 which predates existing Code, and this type of variance has customarily been granted by this Board, and it is in keeping with the intent of the City Council of Hermosa Beach. 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoy- ment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, and denied to the property in question because other property in this immediate vicinity has been given similar variances in the recent past under similar conditions and, in order to meet the parking requirement for request No. 3 the applicant will be required to tear down the rear wall of his structure, which is an unreasonable hardship. 3. That the granting of such varia_nce will not be materially detri- mental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located because the variances granted will not substantially reduce light, air, open space, nor increase the incidence pos- sibility of fire. There were no persons to speak in opposition to this request, and nine persons who were immediate property owners submitted petitions in favor of granting the variance. 4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan because it does not change the dwel- ling units per acre allowed by the General Plan. -Continued - ., # , ~ ,.-c, PAGE 2 -RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-417 433 -31ST STREET NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in view of the above findings of fact the Board of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the variance request by the following vote: AYES: Comms.
