RESOLUTION P.C. 02-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING
THE EXPANSION AND REMODEL OF A
NONCONFORMING USE RESULTING IN A GREATER THAN
10% STRUCTURAL REMOVAL OF EXISTING LINEAR
FEET OF EXTERIOR WALLS WHILE MAINTAINING
NONCONFORMING SIDE AND REAR YARDS, AND
GARAGE SETBACK AT 3130 HERMOSA AVENUE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Lloyd King, owner of real property located at 3130
Hermosa Avenue, requesting a greater than 10% structural removal of existing linear feet of
exterior walls of an existing nonconforming use in order to expand and remodel the first and
second floors pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
March 19, 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 739 square foot expansion to a nonconforming duplex use
resulting in a 42% structural removal of existing linear feet of exterior walls and an increase
of valuation of 48.9% while maintaining nonconforming side and rear yards, and garage
setback.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
1. The existing nonconforming yards to be maintained are not significant or unusual in regards
to compatibility with neighboring properties;
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 current
nonconforming conditions to be brought into conformance;
3. Approval of the expansion and remodel 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 a greater
than 10% structural removal of existing linear feet of exterior walls, 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.

7. 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.
8. 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.
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.
