RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-272
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1021 MONTEREY BOULEVARD,
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on April 17, 1978, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered
the request of Mr. Larry Fisher for permission to make a 17 1 x 22 1 addition to the
rear of an existing single family residence with a nonconforming one ft. (1 1 ) front
yard setback, on property known as Lot 41, Tract 1068; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that the required front setback for the block is three feet (3 1 ); and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant's representative stated that this is
an existing single family residence previously converted from a duplex; that the
proposed one-story addition is approximately 10 1 to 15 1 above street level; that this
is only a request to add a bedroom and bath and that building a second unit is very
unlikely; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to speak in support of or opposition
to the request; 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 circumstances applicable to the property
involved because at the time of original construction a one foot
setback was allowable on Monterey as is evidenced by many other
structures on Monterey also having one foot setbacks.
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 without variance, no modifications
can be made to existing residence.
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare because all new construction will comply with
existing building codes as minimum standard requirements.
4. That the General Plan will not be affected except by the reduction of
allowable density in the area since the property is zoned R-3 and ·
use will be R-1.
AND, FURTHER, that the approval is granted subject to the following condition:
1. That a deed restriction be required indicating that the structure
must meet all current code requirements in the event that modifica-
tions are requested in the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of fact,. the Board
of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the variance by the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Ebey, Simpson, Sims, Chmn. Cummings
NOES: Comm. Toth
ABSENT: Co111T1s. Anderson, Beard
