Section 1.
The City Council of the City of Seal Beach
hereby finds that:
(a) The preservation of views, vistas and
lines of sight from residential
properties, and the maintenance of
sufficient access to light and air for
such properties, are of importance to
maintaining the value of properties.
(b) There has been a proliferation of covered
roof access stairwells which, due to an
exception to Code standards, have exceeded
maximum height standards.
(c) Such covered roof access stairwells have
obstructed views and have been developed
without clear standards for their height
and bulk.
I
(d) Such covered roof access stairwells have
adversely affected neighboring properties'
acc~~ to light and air.
(ei There is at present time no ordinance
sufficiently regulating such structures.
(f) ~he zoning ordinance presently lacks
adequate land use controls to ensure the
orderly development of such structures.
(g) Development of such structures in the
absence of clear standards has generated
conflict among neighbors which poses a
current and immediate threat to the peace,
harmony, and welfare of the City.
(h) Unregulated development of additional
covered roof access stairwells will cause
adverse impacts on the use, enjoyment and
value of property within the City.
I
(i) Development of additional covered rQof
access stairwells that would conflict with
future regulations would be detrimental to
the welfare of the community.
(j) A revision of the applicable portions of
the zoning ordinance permitting such
structures is now being prepared.
IK) The public peace, health, safety, and
welfare require that no further covered
root Iccess stairwells be constructed in
:: e ':;,.t:y until the City adopts adequate
land use controls regulating such
structures.

Section 5.
Section 6.
(1) There is a current and immediate threat to
public health, safety and welfare and the
issuance of building permits, variances,
or any other applicable entitlement for

stairwells would result in a threat to
public health, safety and welfare.
No building permits or other entitlements of
use shall be issued which would permit covered
roof access stairwells.

of proper standards for the construction of
covered roof access stairwells. Further, the

access stairwells in excess of height limits
are appropriated throughout the City. Staff

appropriate standards for the construction of
covered roof access stairwells to this Council.
This ordinance is hereby declared to be an
emergency measure for preserving the public
peace, health, safety and welfare and shall
take effect immediately and shall remain in
effect for forty-five (45) days unless it is
