WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on July 17, 1978, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered
the request of Mr. Robert W. Cengia for permission to add a second story to an existing
single family residence, the roof height of said addition varying from 24 ft. to 32 ft.,
which is in exception to Section 401 (a) of the Zoning Code defining building height
in the R-1 zone, on property known as Lot 11, Tract 5650; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that building height means a vertical distance measured from the existing grade of a
lot, adjacent to the exterior walls, from any portion of the building site covered by
the building to the uppermost point of the roof, parapet walls or railings; that when
the grade has been lowered, said vertical distance shall be measured from the finished
grade; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant submitted a drawing of the area super-
imposed on the plans for his building; he stated he feels that the problem is the
grade; if his property was level he would have no problem meeting the 25 ft. height
limit; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, seven residents of the area spoke in opposition to
the request; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration. it is the opinion of the Board of Zoning Adjustments
that the variance is not justified because testimony has shown it will be detrimental
to surrounding properties;
