RESOLUTION NO.02-25
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING A GREATER THAN 50%
EXPANSION AND REMODEL TO AN EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING
WHILE MAINTAINING NONCONFORMING FRONT AND SIDE YARDS AND A
NONCONFORMING GARAGE SETBACK, AT 1557 GOLDEN AVENUE
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Rebecca and Tony Ferreira owners of real property
located at 1557 Golden Avenue, requesting a greater than 50% expansion and remodel to an
existing nonconforming single family dwelling, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning
Ordinance
Sec ion 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
May 21, 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 1,378 square foot expansion to a single-family dwelling,
resulting in an increase of valuation of 99.7% while maintaining nonconforming front
and side yards and a nonconforming garage setback.
2. The project includes adding a second garage space and guest parking in front of the
garage.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
1. The existing nonconforming front and side yard to be maintained are not significant or
unusual in regards to compatibility with neighboring properties;
2. The existing nonconforming garage setback is not unusual or severe and the proposed
addition of a second garage will bring the property into conformance with current
parking requirements for number of parking spaces.
3. 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 conditions to be brought into conformance;
4. Approval of the expansion/remodel is consistent with the intent and goals of Chapter
17.52 of the 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
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 a greater
than 50% expansion, subject to the following conditions of approval:
1. The project shall be consistent with submitted plans. Modifications to the plan
which do not involve any further expansion shall be reviewed and may be approved
by the Community Development Director.
2. The roof plan and building elevations shall be corrected to indicate the maximum
and proposed height at each critical point and to properly indicate corner point
elevations.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. A Deed Restriction shall be recorded prior to the issuance of building permits,
limiting the use of the building to one dwelling unit.
6. Hook-ups for only one laundry facility shall be provided in the dwelling unit.
7. The internal stairway connecting the ground floor with the level above shall comply
with the Uniform Building Code.
Section 6. Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedures Section 1094.6, any legal challenge
to the decision of the Planning Commission, after a formal appeal to the City Council, must be
made within 90 days after the final decision by the City Council.
