A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1781 VALLEY PARK AVENUE, HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public hear-
ing held on September 6, 1978, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered the
request of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Kersulis for permission to add more than 40% to an exist-
ing single family residence with nonconfonning front and side yards; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that the plans now before the Board have several zoning corrections not covered by the
variance which will have to be corrected prior to permit issuance, as follows: Stairs
in five foot sideyard must return to grade and must be a "solid concrete stair landing
and stairs on grade"; the forced air unit shown on the floor plan will have to clear the
side property line by three feet; and the plans m~st be adjusted so that both parking
stalls in the garage are the required depth; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant presented the Board with a petition signed
by 13 neighbors in s~pport of the request; 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 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 nonconformities were in existence with original con-
struction and the prevailing nonconformities are not increased.
2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right possessed byrother property in the same vicinity and zone, and denied
to the property in question because everyone on the street signed the petition in
favor of the construction and he has similar use of his property as his neighbors.
By improving and increasing the house size he is enjoying the same rights as his
neighbors.
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in
which the property is located because virtually all of the adjacent homeowners
signed the petition in favor of the improvements.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General
Plan because the building is entirely within the General Plan.
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. Beard, Ebey, Simpson, Chmn. Toth
NOES: None
ABSENT: Convns. Cummings, DeBellis, Sims
CERTIFICATION
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution BZA 154-288 was adopted by the Board of
