NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Seal Beach will hold a
hearing on Wednesday May 5, 2010 at 7:30 PM
in the City Council Chambers, 211 Eighth Street,
Seal Beach, California, to consider the following item:
ADOPTION OF NEW ZONING CODE
TITLE 11 – SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
Request: A public hearing to receive comments and make a recommendation to the City
Council regarding adoption of a comprehensive revision and update to the Seal
Beach Zoning Code. The comprehensive revision will replace the entire current
Zoning Code, Chapter 28 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, with a new Title 11,
Zoning Code.
The proposed Title 11, Zoning, does not change standards for basic lot size,
density and building intensity, setback, lot coverage, height, parking, and sign
regulations of the current zoning Code. There are minor changes to allowable
and discretionary land uses within the City, such as news stands, kiosks, artist’s
studios, catering services, and handicraft/custom manufacturing uses. New
provisions related to a number of design related issues are proposed, such as
porches, additional building stepbacks for structures more than 14 feet high, use
of compatible material and design elements for building additions, and other
design and aesthetic matters of concern to the City. In addition an
“Administrative Use Permit” approval process is proposed which would allow the
Director of Development Services to review and approve several types of
discretionary land use approvals that are currently reviewed and approved by the
Planning Commission.
