3 WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of
4 11Hermosa Beach, at public hearings held on May 7, 1979 & June 4 1
5 11 1979, in the City Hall Council Chambers, considered the request of
6l!Roy G.E. Ford for permission to enlarge windows to an existing
7 1l four-unit building with nonconforming use, on property legally
81 ldescribed as Lot 7, Block 2, Hermosa Beach Tract;
g WHEREAS, as said public hearing, the following facts
lOli were presented for consideration: that the structural alterations
lli lconsist of enlarging four windows to an existing nonconforming
12 building which was built in 1944 (four units on a lot but present
13 zoning would allow only three units); and that other improvements
14 l1 are of a cosmetic nature and do not require a variance;
15 WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated
161ithat he wanted to improve the building and improve the view;
17 WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to
181l speak in opposition to the project;
191 I WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of
2O1 1the Board of Zoning Adjustments that the variance is granted for
211 1 the following reasons:
22 11 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
23 conditions applicable to the property involved because at the time
24 of construction, the use was proper; and the variance is very mino
25 in nature, even though it involves some structural alteration.
26 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
27 enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other
28 property in the same vicinity and zone because there have been
111 some major structural alterations done to old buildings in the
2llarea; there is precedent; and replacing windows is technically
3l l considered structural, but in this case it is not significant.
4 113, That the granting of such variance will not be materially
5l l detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
6 llimprovements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is
7lllocated because it does not affect the properties in the surroun-
S li ding area; alterations are minor.
9 114. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect
101 I the comprehensive General Plan because the building is in exis.:.:
lll ltence whether windows are replaced or not; it is not an addition
1211 of more uni ts.
13 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Zoning
14 11 Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby
15 11 grant the variance by the following vote:
