ANALYSIS
The project architect, German Melgar (“the applicant’) on behalf of the Jade Cove Trust (“the
owner”), filed the application with the Community Development Department for Minor Use
Permit (MUP) 19-8, to allow remodeling of the interior and exterior of the residence that is
nonconforming due to lot coverage. The subject site is a 5,000 square foot parcel located on the
north portion of Jade Cove Way within The Hill area. The lot is currently developed with a two-
story residence. The subject site is in the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning area and is
surrounded by residential uses.
The subject property is nonconforming due to lot coverage, which exceeds the maximum lot
coverage by 1%. According to Table 11.2.05.015 B.1 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, the
maximum lot coverage for residences located within the RLD-9 District is 45% or 2,250 square
feet. The subject property measures 46% lot coverage or 2,322 square feet. Based on this lot
coverage percentage, all proposed renovations are subject to review and approval by a Minor
Use Permit.
The proposed improvements to the interior of the residence are limited to the first floor and
involve reconfiguration of the kitchen, living room and dining room areas to allow for an open
concept type of design. In addition, an existing bedroom will be repurposed to serve as the
master bathroom, and two new walk-in closets will be added to serve the master bedroom and
an adjacent bedroom. The second floor is proposed to remain unchanged. No additional
habitable square footage is proposed.
The proposed improvements to the exterior of the residence include relocation of a door and
window from the west elevation, and the restuccoing of portions of the residence where
changes were made to provide a smooth finish to match the existing stucco finish. The
proposed improvements will not result in additional lot coverage as the areas of improvement
are currently covered by the existing structure.
The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.40.015.B) allows minor improvements which
involve the removal or alteration to less than 25% of a structure’s interior walls, provided the
bedroom/bathroom ratio does not exceed one and one-half bathrooms for each bedroom. The
subject building is proposed to have the same amount of bedrooms and bathrooms for a total of
4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, which conforms to the provisions of SBMC § 11.4.40.015.B. The
alterations proposed on the subject site are consistent with the provisions of the code and
similar to other improvements in the area. The resolution conditions the approval to maintain
continuing compliance with those requirements.
CONCLUSION
After concluding the public hearing and receiving public testimony, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 19-18 approving MUP 19-8 to allow the
interior and exterior remodel at a nonconforming property.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MINOR USE PERMIT 19-8
TO ALLOW AN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR REMODEL TO AN
EXISTING TWO-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT IS
NONCONFORMING DUE TO LOT COVERAGE IN THE
RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY (RLD-9) ZONING AREA.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. German Melgar (“the applicant”) on behalf of the Jade Cove Trust
(“the owner”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for Minor
Use Permit 19-8. The proposed project includes the alteration of less than 25% of interior
walls to allow the remodel of the first floor by reconfiguring the kitchen, living room and dining
room areas to allow for an open concept design; repurposing an existing bedroom to serve as
the master bathroom; reconfiguring space to allow for the addition of two new walk-in closets
to serve the master bedroom and an adjacent bedroom, and restuccoing a portion of the
exterior wall to match the existing stucco finish on a property which is nonconforming due to
lot coverage, located in the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning area.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facilities)
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the permitting
of alterations to the interior and exterior of an existing residential property where only minor
modifications are required for the renovation.
Section 3. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the Planning
Commission on December 2, 2019 to consider Minor Use Permit 19-8. At the public meeting,
the Planning Commission received into the record all evidence and testimony provided on
this matter. The record of the hearing indicates the following:
A. The applicant submitted an application to the Community Development
Department for Minor Use Permit 19-8 for a proposed project at 421 Jade Cove Way, Seal
Beach, California.
B. The subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of
approximately 5,000 square feet. The subject property has a lot width of 50 feet with a lot
depth of 100 feet. The site is surrounded by residential uses on the north, east, west and
south sides.
C. The subject property is currently developed with a single residential unit.
Based on the lot coverage, the subject property is considered nonconforming. The proposed
improvements will not expand any existing nonconformity because no new bedrooms or
additional habitable square footage is proposed.
D. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.40.015.B) allows minor
improvements which involve the removal or alteration to less than 25% of a structure’s
Resolution 19-18
421 Jade Cove Way
interior walls, provided the bedroom/bathroom ratio does not exceed one and one-half
bathrooms for each bedroom.
Section 4. Based upon the facts contained in the record, including those
stated in the preceding Section of this resolution and pursuant to Chapter 11.5.20 of the Seal
Beach Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
A. The proposed minor improvements are consistent with the General Plan.
The General Plan specifies that redevelopment in The Hill area is to be compatible with the
physical characteristics of the neighborhood, surrounding land uses, and available
infrastructure. The proposed minor improvements will not change the character of the
residence and will be consistent with other properties.
B. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district with
Minor Use Permit approval and will comply with all other applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code. The subject site is located within the Hill RLD-9 zone, an area where the
Seal Beach Municipal Code (Section 11.4.40.015.B) allows minor improvements which
involve interior and exterior alterations subject to approval of a minor use permit.
C. The proposed use, as conditioned below, will be located on a site that is
physically adequate for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including
provision of services, and the absence of physical constraints. The subject site is currently
developed with a single family residence with an attached two car garage and is considered
nonconforming due to lot coverage. The alteration of less than 25% of interior walls will not
add habitable space and will maintain development standards applicable to the RLD-9 zone.
D. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed
use, as conditioned below, will be compatible with and will not adversely affect uses and
properties in the surrounding neighborhood. The subject site is located within the Marina Hill
area RLD-9 zone, which consists of properties developed as single family residences. The
property is proposed to be used as a single family residence which is consistent with the
surrounding area.
E. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will
not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity. The alteration of less than 25% of interior walls will not increase bedrooms, exceed
the bedroom/bathroom ratio authorized under the development standards, or intensify use on
the property. The subject site will continue to operate as a residential property, which is
consistent with the uses in the surrounding neighborhood.
Section 5.Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby
approves Minor Use Permit 19-8 for alteration of less than 25% of the interior walls in order to
remodel the first floor by reconfiguring the kitchen, living room and dining room areas to allow
for an open concept design; repurposing an existing bedroom to serve as the master
bathroom; reconfiguring an existing space to allow for the addition of two new walk-in closets
serving the master bedroom and an adjacent bedroom; and restuccoing a portion of the
exterior wall to match the existing stucco finish, for the property located in the Hill area in the
Residential Low Density RLD (9) zoning area, subject to the following conditions:
Resolution 19-18
421 Jade Cove Way
1. Minor Use Permit 19-8 is approved for the alteration of less than 25% of the interior
walls in order to remodel the first floor by reconfiguring the kitchen, living room and
dining room areas to allow for an open concept design; repurposing an existing
bedroom to serve as the master bathroom; reconfiguring space to allow for the
addition of two new walk-in closets serving the master bedroom and an adjacent
bedroom; and restuccoing a portion of the exterior wall to match the existing stucco
finish, at a nonconforming property located at 421 Jade Cove Way.
2. All plan checks and construction shall be in substantial compliance with the plans

applicable state and local codes.

Community Development Department; and until the ten (10) day appeal period has
elapsed.
6. The applicant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents
and employees (collectively “the City” hereinafter) from any and all claims and losses
whatsoever occurring or resulting to any and all persons, firms, or corporations
furnishing or supplying work, services, materials, or supplies in connection with the
performance of the use permitted hereby or the exercise of the rights granted herein,
and any and all claims, lawsuits or actions arising from the granting of or the exercise
of the rights permitted by this Minor Use Permit, and from any and all claims and
losses occurring or resulting to any person, firm, corporation or property for damage,
injury or death arising out of or connected with the performance of the use permitted
hereby. Applicant’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City as
stated herein shall include, but not be limited to, paying all fees and costs incurred by
legal counsel of the City’s choice in representing the City in connection with any such

ANALYSIS
John Sanchez (“the applicant”), filed an application for a Minor Use Permit (MUP 19-7)
to allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in conjunction with
a financial institution. The subject property is located on the east side of Seal Beach
Boulevard at 12410 Seal Beach Boulevard in the General Commercial (GC) zone. The
property is developed with a multi-tenant shopping center approximately 286,967
square feet in size referred to as the Old Ranch Towne Center. The center is anchored
by a Target retail store, Ralph’s supermarket and CVS drug store. The applicant will be
located in Suite “E”, a 1,100 square foot retail space previously occupied by General
Nutrition Center (GNC).
There are single-family residences located to the north and east of the commercial
center with commercial uses to the west across Seal Beach Boulevard and Old Ranch
Golf Course to the south and east.
The City of Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC Section 11.2.10.010) allows for banks
and other financial institutions in a General Commercial (GC) zone by right, however,
Automated Teller Machines require separate approval of a Minor Use Permit pursuant
to Section 11.4.05.030 of the SBMC. In addition, SBMC Section 11.4.20.015 (Off-Street
Parking) requires two spaces per ATM.
The proposed use will require two additional parking spaces than the previous
use/tenant, however, it will not increase the number of parking spaces required for the
center as the proposed use is ancillary to the primary use of a financial Institution and
the proposed use is not increasing the square footage of the building footprint. The
shopping center is compliant with Seal Beach Municipal Code Table 11.4.20.015.A.1
which requires a parking ratio of 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of Gross Floor
Area (GFA) for a shopping center with a GFA greater than 75,000 square feet. The
shopping center has a GFA of approximately 286,967 square feet. The ratio would
require the site to provide 1,435 parking spaces and there are currently 1,530 parking
spaces, a surplus of 95 parking spaces. The proposed ATM in conjunction with a
Financial Institution will require two additional parking spaces leaving a surplus of 93
parking spaces.

The proposed use is compliant with the General Plan Land Use Designation of General
Commercial, which encourages commercial centers to provide a broad range of retail,
and service needs for the community.
Lastly, this request was forwarded to the Seal Beach Police Department (SBPD) for
public safety considerations, and the SBPD recommends that as a condition of approval,
the applicant install a surveillance camera that provides a clear view of the area in and
around the ATM/parking lot area.
CONCLUSION
After concluding the public hearing and receiving public testimony, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 19-17 approving MUP 19-
7 to allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in conjunction
with a financial institution, in the General Commercial (GC) zoned area in an existing
shopping center located at 12410 Seal Beach Boulevard Suite “E”.

located in the General Commercial (GC) Zone.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facilities)
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for existing
structures, involving negligible or no expansion of use.
Section 3. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the Planning

the Planning Commission received into the record all evidence and testimony provided on
this matter. The record of the hearing indicates the following:
A. The applicant submitted an application to the Community Development
Department for Minor Use Permit 19-7 for the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller
Machine (ATM) in conjunction with a financial institution at 12410 Seal Beach Boulevard

institutions with the approval of a Minor Use Permit.
Section 4. Based upon the facts contained in the record, including those
stated in the preceding Section of this resolution and pursuant to Section 11.5.20 of the Seal
Beach Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
Resolution 19-17
12410 Seal Beach Blvd Suite E
A. The proposed Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in conjunction with a
bank or other financial institution is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan
specifies that the General Commercial Land Uses encourages commercial centers to provide
a broad range of retail and service needs for the community. The addition of Automated
Teller Machines within the shopping center expands the services offered to the community
and attracts a wider range of residents and customers.
B. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district with
Minor Use Permit approval and will comply with all other applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code. The subject site is located within the Old Ranch Towne Center - General
Commercial zone, an area where the Seal Beach Municipal Code (Section 11.4.05.030)
allows for the operation of Automated Teller Machines in conjunction with a bank or other
financial institution, with approval of a Minor Use Permit.
C. The subject site is physically adequate for the type, density, and intensity
of use being proposed, including provision of services, and the absence of physical
constraints. The site contains adequate parking to continue to meet the needs of the
commercial center.
D. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed
use, as conditioned below, will be compatible with and will not adversely affect those uses or
properties in the surrounding areas. The existing building complies with the height, setback
and parking requirements of the General Commercial zoning area and conditions have been
imposed to ensure the use will not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
Section 5.Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby
approves Minor Use Permit 19-7 to allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller
Machine in conjunction with a bank or other financial institution within a commercial shopping
center, located at 12410 Seal Beach Boulevard Suite “E”, in the General Commercial (GC)
zoning area, subject to the following conditions:
1. Minor Use Permit 19-7 is approved to permit an Automated Teller Machine in
conjunction with a bank/financial institution located at 12410 Seal Beach Boulevard

3. A wide-angle mirror, allowing patrons to see behind them while using the ATM, shall
be affixed to the front of the ATM.
4. Exterior lighting in the parking area shall be kept at a level so as to provide adequate
lighting for patrons while not unreasonably disturbing surrounding residential or
