CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A
GREATER THAN 50% EXPANSION AND REMODEL TO AN
EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING WHILE
MAINTAINING NONCONFORMING PARKING, AT 2716
HERMOSA AVE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by John Montandom, owner located at 2716 Hermosa
Avenue, requesting a greater than 50% expansion and remodel to an existing nonconforming
single family dwelling in order to expand and remodel, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning
Ordinance
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
August 20, 2002, 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 1,077 square foot expansion to a single family dwelling, while
maintaining non -conforming parking and roof overhang;
2. The applicant has submitted a survey with two -foot contour intervals which shows a convex
slope condition on the westerly portion of the subject property.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
1. The nonconforming open space is not unusual or severe;
2. The scale of the proposed expansion is reasonable, and is consistent with planning and
zoning requirements for the R-3 zone and does not warrant requiring the nonconforming
condition to be brought into conformance;
3. Approval of the expansion/remodel is consistent with the intent and goals of Chapter 17.52
of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. The Planning Commission confirms that a convex slope condition exists on the subject
property pursuant to Section 17.04.040 of the Hermosa Beach Zoning Ordinance;
5. The project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA guidelines, Section 15301 e (2) with the
