RESOLUTION B.Z.A. 154-246
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1836 STRAND, HERMOSA
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, consid-
ered the request of Carol Warrian for pennission to make structural alterations to
an existing nonconforming building with nonconforming use; and
WHEREAS, at said pubHc hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration;
that the applicant has a legally nonconforming five-unit building with two parking
spaces; that a portion of the present construction is allowed as repair to existing
structure, however, applicant proposes to extend the existing decks in the front of
the building an additional 3 ft., add additional railing and trellis over deck at the
rear, and enclose and add a conical shaped roof at corner of existing deck at rear;
and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated they were working from approved
plans, the balcony over the garage was already there; their purpose was to make the
place look nicer; the trellis is being added just for shade; they are bringing the
building up to code as much as possible; the building was in a bad state of obsoles-
cence with many areas of dry rot; that structural is really an all-encompassing
phrase; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, two residents of the area spoke in support 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 preliminary drawings were
approved and work has started.
2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vic-
inity and zone, and denied to the property in question because otherwise
the property cannot be completed and without some of these particular
structural alterations there could be excessive additional financial bur-
den to the owner. They are trying to correct problems with dry rot, etc.
3. That the granting of the 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 altera-
tions are minor in nature.
4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the compre-
hensive General Plan because density is not affected.
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
