A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH DENYING A VARIANCE TO PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1852 RHODES STREET, HER-
MOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on September 19, 1977 in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, consid-
ered the request of Sandra Hubert and Patricia Leahy for permission to exceed the
maximum height limit of 25 ft. in the R-1 zone by 3 ft. in order to make a second
story addition, on property known as Lots 38 and 39 and the SQ 15 .• '45 ft. of Lots 21
and 22, Tract 2548; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicants• representative stated they are add-
ing to and restoring a very old home; the original floor is 31811 high; the area
exceeding the height limit is a relatively small area; and it is not blocking any
other building; that that portion contains clerestory windows on the north for light;
and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, six residents of the area appeared in opposition to
the request and presented a petition bearing the signatures of 48 residents also in
opposition to the request; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of the Board of Zoning Adjustments
that the request is not justified for the following reasons:
1. The Board can find no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved because they can obtain
light through other structural means as there are many alternatives.
2. That the granting of the variance•.would not be preserving a property
right possessed by other people in the same vicinity and zone, and denied
to the property in question as the lack of the 3 ft. in height will not
prevent them from developing the property.
3. That the granting of the variance will be materially detrimental to the
property or improvements aAd the public welfare as indicated by the
petition in opposition signed by residents of the area and the residents
who appeared to give testimony in opposition to the request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of fact, the Board
of Zoning Adjustments does hereby deny the variance by the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Beard, Cunvnings, Ebey, Simpson, Toth, Chmn. Sims
NOES: None
