A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1734 PROSPECT AVENUE,
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on July 18, 1977, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered
the request of Mr. and Mrs. Fred G. Lee for permission to remodel an existing undev-
eloped area on the first floor into additional living area, to include a second
kitchen, on property known as Lot 9, Angela Heights Tract; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration,
that the property is located in an R-2 zone and has adequate square footage to be
allowed two unit usage; however, the owners are unable to provide the required park-
ing to be allowed a second unit; that applicant desires to enlarge the existing single
dwelling, not to create a second unit; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated the need for a second kitchen
was due to a handicapped son, and that they would be willing to sign a deed restriction
limiting the property to single family usage; 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 of unusual health problems
with i,n the family.
2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicin-
ity and zone, and denied to the property in question because other properties
allow wet bars which are similar to this and that this one becomes necessary
in order for the family to utilize the home in which they live;
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 vic-
inity and zone in which the property is located because there are no density
or open space ramifications.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the compre-
hensive General Plan because it maintains conformity with the General Plan.
AND, FURTHER, that the variance is granted subject to the following conditions:
1. That a deed restriction be required stating that the added kitchen and
its surrounding area never be used as a rental; and
2. That if the current owner should sell, the kitchen plumbing must be
destroyed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above fihdihg of fact, the Board
of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the request by the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Beard, Cummings, Simpson, Toth, Chmn. Sims
NOES: None
ABSENT: Comm. Ebey
