RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-241
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 207 -16TH STREET, HER-
MOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on August 15, 1977, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, considered
the request of Mr. Peter H. Toogood for permission to construct a 5 ft. x 14 ft. wood
deck encroaching into the required west sideyard setback approximately 3 ft. and to
provide less than the required corner vision clearance, on property known as the west-
erly part of Lot 2, Block 50, 1st Addition to Hermosa Beach Tract; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that the request is in conflict with Section 503 (2) (b) and Section 1207 of the Zon-
ing Code; that the proposed deck encroaches 3 ft. into the required 4 ft. required
sideyard, leaving one ft. to property line; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated that the deck will not interfere
with drivers• vision as the base of the deck will be 61 above the road; that there is
a four-way stop at the corner; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, letters were submitted from seven residents of the
area in favor 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 the property is on a four-way
blvd. step corner, allowing no through vehicular traffic; and the street in
question curves away from the proposed project in such a way that vision is
not a problem.
2. That the 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 there are other
properties jhich into the req~fred corner vision which actual vision is not
impaired.
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 letters from residents
of surrounding properties have been received in favor of the variance.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehen-
sive General Plan because there is no increase in density.
AND, FURTHER, that the variance is granted subject to the following condition:
1. That no portion of the area underneath the deck may be closed in at any
time during the life of the structure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of fact, the Board
of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the request by the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Beard, Cummings, Ebey, Simpson, Chmn. Sims
NOES: None
ABSENT: Comm. Toth
