P.C.RESOLUTION NO.05-33
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING AN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING
NONCONFORMING SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING RESULTING IN A GREATER
THAN 50% INCREASE IN VALUATION AT 3320 HIGHLAND AVENUE
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Deanna Bradshaw, owner of real property located at
3320 Highland Avenue, requesting an addition to an existing nonconforming single-family
residence, which results in a greater than 50% increase in valuation, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
May 17, 2005, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, were presented to and
considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following factual findings:
1. The applicant is proposing a 331 square foot addition and remodel to an existing single-
family dwelling with nonconforming conditions with respect to guest parking, garage setbacks and
side and rear yard requirements. The project, in addition to a 1995 project to add 617 square feet,
results in a cumulative increase in valuation of 84.9%.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
1. The existing nonconformities are not severe or unusual.
2. The scale of the proposed expansion is reasonable, and is consistent with planning and
zoning requirements for the R-2 zone and does not warrant requiring the current nonconforming
conditions to be brought into conformance;
3. Approval of the expansion is consistent with the intent and goals of Chapter 17.52 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
4. The project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA guidelines, Section 15301 e(2) with the finding
that the project is in an area with available services and not in an environmentally sensitive area.
Section . Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an extension
of a nonconforming side yard, subject to the following Conditions of Approval:
1. The project shall be consistent with submitted plans. Minor modifications to the
plan not involving any further expansion or remodel may be reviewed and approved
by the Community Development Director.

2. The roof plan and elevations shall properly depict maximum heights at the critical
points along the roof deck railing, and distances to the corner points.
3. The applicant shall submit all required plans and reports to comply with the City's
construction debris recycling program including manifests from both the recycler
and County landfill.
4. Prior to issuance of building permits for demolition and construction, the contractor
shall verify the structural integrity of the proposed walls to be retained with a
structural inspection approved by the Community Development Director, with
details incorporated on construction drawings. This may require further additional
structural pest inspections and/or an inspection by a structural engineer.
5. Upon issuance of building permits the project shall proceed in compliance with the
scope of work outlined on the plans and any further demolition or construction
contrary to said plans will result in project delays in order for the City to review
project modifications, and may require new plan submittals and Planning
Commission review to proceed with construction work.
