A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 441 -31ST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on November 8, 1978, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered
the request of Mr. Michael Sanders, etal, for permission to add more than 40% to an
existing single family dwelling with nonconforming front yard setback, in exception
to Section 1309 of the Zoning Code, on property known as Lot 21, Block 124, Shakespeare
Tract; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that other properties in the same vicinity have less than this 6 foot setback due to
the fact that this block had been zoned R-2 and was rezoned to R-1 at the request of
the property owners (original setback requirement was 5 ft., new setback required is
7 ft.); and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant explained it was his desire to improve
the front of his home; he also stated he would accept a condition of a deed restriction
on the property; 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 is justified, subject to conditions, for the following reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved because residents voluntarily rezoned themselves to R-1
which resulted in nonconformity.
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 the property in question because other homes in the area have similar front yard
setbacks.
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 the requested variance does not affect sur-
rounding properties.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive
General Plan because the addition has no effect on the General Plan.
AND, ·FURTHER, that the variance is granted subject to the following condition:
1. That a deed restriction be provided limiting.the use of the property to a single
family dwelling.
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: Convns. Beard, DeBellis, Simpson, Chmn. Cunvnings
NOES: None
ABSENT: Comms. Ebey, Sims, Toth

I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution BZA 154-296 was adopted by the Board
