P.C.RESOLUTION NO.00-28
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 LESS THAN REQUIRED PARKING AND
GARAGE SETBACK AT 1232 71h STREET
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as
follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Robert and Astrid Francis, owner of real property
located at 1232 7 h Street, requesting a greater than 50% expansion and remodel to an existing
nonconforming single family dwelling, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on
April 18, 2000, 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 1,169 square foot expansion to a single-family dwelling,
resulting in an increase of valuation of 75% while maintaining a less than required garage
setback and required parking.
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 garage setback and parking spaces 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 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:
