RESOLUTION 00-25
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO APPROVE THE REQUESTED
VARIANCE TO SUBDIVISION AND ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A
VARIATION TO THE LOT WIDTH AND AREA OF TWO LOTS AT 501 AND 507
29TH STREET LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 1 AND 3, OF BLOCK 138
SHAKESPEARE TRACT
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Nicholas Schaar owner of real property located at
501 and 507 29 h Street seeking a Variance from Section 17.12.090 of the Zoning Ordinance and
Section 16.08.060 of the Subdivision Ordinance to have lots less than a minimum of 40 feet wide
and less than 4,000 square feet in area.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to
consider the application for these on April 18, 2000, at which testimony and evidence, both written
and oral, was 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 to redivide two merged lots so that two single-family
dwellings may be sold separately on each lot.
2. The subject lots have dimensions of approximately 30' X 80' and 36' X 80'.
3. The area of the proposed lots are approximately 2,400 and 2,877 square feet.
4. The lot sizes are typical of other lots in the original subdivision and in the general
vicinity.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings pertaining to the application for a Variance from Section 17.12.090 of the
Zoning Ordinance and Section 16.08.060 of the Subdivision Ordinance to have lots less than a
minimum of 40 feet wide and less than 4,000 square feet in area:
1. There are exceptional circumstances relating to the property because, due to the
adjacent street pattern, the configuration of lots on the block of the subject property is
unique compared to other blocks in the neighborhood.
2. The Variance is necessary for the enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by
other properties in the vicinity because the owners wish to exercise their property right
to subdivide their lot into a size similar to other lots in the neighborhood. A majority
1
of the lots in the neighborhood are currently developed with single-family homes on
1 lots of 2,500 square feet or less.
2 3. The granting of the Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
3 injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the
4 property is located because the subdivision will create lots which are more consistent
with the prevailing lot pattern in the surrounding neighborhood.
s
4. The Variance is consistent with the General Plan because based on the lower density
6 maximum created by the 'subdivision and the prevailing lot pattern of the neighborhood
7 the proposed lots are consistent with the General Plan.
8 Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance
9 to allow a subdivision with lots less than a minimum of 40 feet wide and less than 4,000 square feet
in area.
