P.C.RESOLUTION NO.04-2
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING AN
ADDITION TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING
WITH NONCONFORMING USABLE OPEN SPACE, GUEST
PARKING, AND SIDE YARD AND GARAGE SETBACKS,
RESULTING IN A GREATER THAN 50% INCREASE IN
VALUATION AND EXTENSION OF AN EXISTING
NONCONFORMING SIDE YARD AT 2030 PROSPECT AVENUE
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Kendra M. Staalberg, owner of real property located
at 2030 Prospect Avenue, requesting an addition to an existing nonconforming single-family
residence, which results in a greater than 50% increase in valuation and extends an existing
nonconforming side yard, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
January 20, 2004, 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 1,009 square foot livable floor area expansion on the second
floor of an existing 51-year-old single-family dwelling with nonconforming usable open
space, guest parking, and side yard and garage setbacks, resulting in an increase of valuation
of 99.8% while extending a less than required side yard setback.
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-1 zone and does not warrant requiring the current
nonconforming side yard 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 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an extension
of a nonconforming side yard, subject to the following Conditions of Approval:

project modifications, and may require new plan submittals and Planning
Commission review to proceed with construction work.
