WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public hearing held on August 17, 1981 in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered the request of Barbara and John Fugatt for permission to add more than 40% to an existing single family dwelling with a nonconforming 2'4" easterly sideyard in lieu of the 3'6" required, and to meet current code with the new addition; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration; that the existing storage area on the lower floor plan had been a bootleg unit that was abated by the present owners when they purchased the property; that this area did not meet minimum ceiling height or light and ventilation to be used as living area; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated he would prefer to add three additional parking spaces rather than sign a deed restrict- ion limiting the property to single family usage; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to speak in opposition to the request; and WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of the Board of Zon- ing Adjustments that the variance request is justified, subject to con- ditions, for the following reasons: 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or condi- tions applicable to the property involved because the building was built in 1933 which predates existing Code; this type of variance has been customarily granted by this Board, and it is in keeping with the intent of the City Council of Hermosa Beach to preserve existing housing stock. 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 th~ property in question because this Board has customarily granted variances of this nature in the same vicinity and zone, and this applicant has agreed to pro- vide three additional parking spaces. 3. That the granting of such variance 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 variance granted will not substantially reduce light, air, open space, nor increase the incidence possibility of fire; there were no persons to speak in opposition to this request at the public hearing. 4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan because there is no change in the number of units allowed on the lot. AND, FURTHER, that this variance is granted subject to the following cond:j_ t;i.:oµs: 1. That the applicant will provide three additional parking spaces to meet R-2 requirements.
