P.C.RESOLUTION NO.04-28
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING AN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING SINGLE
FAMILY DWELLING WITH NONCONFORMING GUEST PARKING, AND FRONT
YARD, SIDE YARD AND GARAGE SETBACKS RESULTING IN A GREATER THAN
50% INCREASE IN VALUATION AT 760 LOMA DRIVE
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Mark Hanna, owner of real property located at 760
Loma Drive, 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
July 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 686 square foot livable floor area expansion of an existing 81-
year-old single-family dwelling with nonconforming guest parking, and front yard, side yard
and garage setbacks resulting in an increase of valuation of 73%.
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 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:
1. The project shall be consistent with submitted plans. Modifications to the plan not
involving any further expansion shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission.

a) A roof plan shall be submitted showing all property corner point elevations
and all critical height point information, including location and elevation.
2. 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.
3. 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.
