ANALYSIS
Bruce Grossman (“applicant”) filed an application for Minor Use Permit 20-3 requesting approval
for installation of a two-story manufactured home within Seal Beach Shores. The subject site is
located on the west side of Riversea Road. The lot is proposed to be developed with a two-story
manufactured residence. The subject site is located in the Residential High Density (RHD-33)
zoning area and is surrounded by residential uses on three sides with the San Gabriel Riverbed
to the west.
The subject property is located in the Seal Beach Shores Mobile Home Park and is currently
occupied by a single story manufactured home which will be removed and replaced with a new
two-story manufactured home in the same location. Seal Beach Shores is primarily regulated by
provisions set forth in Title 25 of the California Administrative Code, which requires review and
approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Development
or improvements within Seal Beach Shores are not typically brought to the Planning
Commission for review as long as they comply with the regulations set forth in Title 25 of the
California Administrative Code. However, the Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC §
11.2.05.015.S) requires approval of a Minor Use Permit for the installation of a two-story
manufactured residence to ensure consistency with applicable land use requirements. The
Municipal Code requires that any proposed two-story manufactured residence:
1. Shall not exceed 25 feet in overall height, with the area between 20 feet and 25 feet to
consist entirely of roofing;
2. Shall not include any decks or balconies above the floor level of a second story;
3. Provides a safety sprinkler system throughout;
4. Is constructed with fire rated construction; and
5. Complies with the setback and clearance requirements set forth in Title 25 of the
California Administrative Code.
The applicant has submitted plans to show that the proposed two-story manufactured residence
will not exceed a maximum height of 25 feet, as the unit will be 24.25 feet in height measured
from grade. The proposed plans show that the top portion of the elevation will consist of roofing
materials with no decks above the second story. Decks are proposed on the first and second
floors of the unit at the rear (west side) of the residence. The proposed two-story manufactured
home will be in compliance with setbacks and clearances in accordance with Title 25, California
Administrative Code as required by the Seal Beach Municipal Code. In addition, the
manufactured home has been approved by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (“HCD”), including the requirement that the manufactured home
comply with all regulations set forth in Title 25 of the California Administrative Code as required
by HCD and the Building Division, and all other applicable state and local codes.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 20-4 approving MUP 20-3 to permit the installation
of a two-story manufactured home at 51 Riversea Road.

STORY MANUFACTURED HOME LOCATED IN THE
RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-33) ZONING AREA
AT 51 RIVERSEA ROAD.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Bruce Grossman (“applicant”), submitted an application to
the Community Development Department for Minor Use Permit 20-3. The proposed
project includes the installation of a two-story manufactured home located in the
Residential High Density (RHD-33) zoning district within the Seal Beach Shores Mobile
Home Park.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facility)
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 and Class 3 (New Construction of
Small Structures) pursuant to Section 15303 of the Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the
removal of an existing manufactured home and installation of a new two story
manufactured home in the same location.
Section 3. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the Planning
Commission on April 20, 2020 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-3. 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 20-3 for a proposed project at 51
Riversea Road, Seal Beach, California.
B. The subject site is a rectangular shaped lot, of approximately 1,219
square feet per assessor’s records. The subject site is located on a larger parcel
consisting of similar shaped lots that make up the Seal Beach Shores community. The
lot is approximately 26.5 feet wide by 46 feet deep. The lot is surrounded by residential
uses, consisting of manufactured homes, on three sides with the San Gabriel River to
the west.
C. The subject property is currently developed with a one-story
manufactured home which will be removed and a new two-story manufactured house is
proposed to be installed. The proposed two-story manufactured residence will not
exceed the maximum building height of 25 feet, as measured from grade, and will not
contain a roof deck with only roofing materials being provided between the 20 foot and
24.25 foot height of the structure.
D. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.2.05.015.S) requires
approval of a Minor Use Permit to install a two-story manufactured house.
Resolution 20-4
51 Riversea Road
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 which encourages architectural diversity in the Planning Area 2 while ensuring
compatibility between residential and commercial uses. The proposed installation of the
two-story manufactured home will be compatible with the architectural style of
surrounding buildings will not change the character of the property, will maintain all
requirements of the zoning area, and will be consistent with other surrounding
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 RHD-33 zone, an area where
the Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.2.05.015.S) allows installation of a two-
story manufactured home with approval of a Minor Use Permit. The proposed two-story
mobile home has been approved by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (“HCD”), including the requirement that the manufactured
home will comply with all regulations set forth in Title 25 of the California Administrative
Code as required by HCD and the Building Division.
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-story manufactured home. The proposed installation
of a two-story manufactured home will maintain development standards applicable to
the RHD-33 zone and Title 25 of the California Administrative Code. The improvement
will not increase density or change beyond existing use of the property.
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 RHD-33 zone, which consists of properties developed as single family and
multi-family residences. The improvement will not change existing operating
characteristics of the lot, and will remain similar to surrounding uses throughout the Seal
Beach Shores Mobile Home Park in the RHD-33 zoning 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 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 20-3 for the proposed installation of a two-story
manufactured home is subject to the following conditions:
1. Minor Use Permit 20-3 is approved for the installation of a two-story
manufactured home located at 51 Riversea Road.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION
The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Seal Beach Sun Newspaper on April 9,

on April 9, 2020, with affidavits of publishing and mailing on file.
VICINITY MAP: AERIAL MAP:
BACKGROUND
The market originally opened in 1966 as a Safeway market and remodeled in 1975. In October
of 1988 the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 88-10 to allow the transfer
of an existing off-sale liquor license. An indefinite Extension of Conditional Use Permit 88-10
was approved October 18, 1989. On December 7, 2005, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing and approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP 05-3) for a market with a Type 21
(Off-Sale General) alcohol license at 1101 Pacific Coast Highway. The Planning Commission
approved Resolution 05-13 with conditions to return to the Planning Commission within one
year of opening for an indefinite extension. The market opened almost three years later after the
construction of a new building, in April 2008, and has been in operation with minimal calls for
service from the Seal Beach Police Department since that time. The alcohol license has been in
good standing since it was approved in 2005, however, to date, the Applicant has not obtained
an indefinite extension of the CUP.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is located on the north side of Pacific Coast Highway at 1101 Pacific Coast
Highway in the Service Commercial (SC) zone. The property is developed with a multi-tenant
shopping center approximately 306,627 square feet in size referred to as the Seal Beach Center.
The center is anchored by a Pavilions supermarket and a CVS drug store. There are single-
family residences located to the north and east of the commercial center with commercial and
residential uses to the south and west across Pacific Coast Highway.
Christina Meza on behalf of Von’s Albertsons (“the Applicant”) seeks approval of an indefinite
extension of CUP 05-3 for a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) alcohol license to sell beer, wine and
distilled spirits for off premise consumption. The Applicant will continue to operate as a
supermarket within the existing 48,666 square foot print of the existing building. The operating
hours will continue to be from 5 a.m. to 12 a.m., 7 days a week.
The existence of the supermarket within the shopping center meets the City’s goals for Service
Commercial Land Uses. Specifically, the General Plan encourages commercial areas to provide
a broad range of retail and service needs for the community in these areas. With the continued
use of the subject site as a supermarket along with the off-site sell of beer, wine and distilled
spirits, the supermarket can continue to offer its customers a wider range of beverages. Staff
has reviewed and updated the conditions of approval to ensure the use will continue to operate
in harmony with the adjacent neighborhood.
City of Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.4.05.015 requires that each alcoholic beverage
establishment obtain approval of a CUP prior to issuance of an Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) License from the State of California. Additionally, the City of Seal Beach requires any
new alcohol licenses issued to be compliant with Seal Beach Council Policy 600, which requires
establishments to be 100 feet away from residential areas. The subject establishment currently
measures approximately 70 feet away from the nearest residential property to the east, however,
this is not a new retail license and has been in in compliance since 1988. Policy 600 has a
provision that the 100 feet conditions does not apply if the alcohol license is existing. Given that
this existing use has generated minimal calls for service from the Seal Beach Police Department
over the years, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the indefinite
extension, subject to the updated conditions incorporated into the draft Resolution.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 20-5 APPROVING Conditional Use Permit CUP
05-3 IE to permit the indefinite extension of a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) alcohol license in
conjunction with a supermarket.

A. The subject property is located on the north side of Pacific Coast
Highway at 1101 Pacific Coast Highway in the Service Commercial (SC) zone. The
property is developed with a multi-tenant shopping center approximately 306,627
square feet in size referred to as the Seal Beach Center. The center is anchored by a
Pavilions supermarket and a CVS drug store. There are single-family residences
located to the north and east of the commercial center with commercial and residential
uses to the west and south across Pacific Coast Highway.
B. The proposed indefinite extension of Conditional Use Permit 05-3
IE for the continued supermarket use with a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) alcohol license
for beer, wine and distilled spirits is maintaining the footprint of the existing commercial
retail structure. The original approval of CUP 05-3 on December 7, 2005 by the
Planning Commission was held at a public hearing and approved by Resolution 05-13.
Section 4. Based upon the facts contained in the record, including those
stated in the preceding Sections of this Resolution, and pursuant to Chapter 11.5.20 of
the Code of the City of Seal Beach, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
Resolution No. 20-5
1101 Pacific Coast Highway
Page 2 of 6
A. The proposed indefinite extension of the alcohol license in
conjunction with a supermarket is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan
specifies that the Service Commercial Land Uses designation encourages commercial
areas to provide a broad range of retail and service needs for the community. With the
continued use of the subject site as a supermarket along with the off-site sell of beer,
wine and distilled spirits, the supermarket can continue to offer its customers a wider
range of beverages.
B. The proposed use complies with applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code. The Municipal Code allows for a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) alcohol
license at a supermarket with approval of a Conditional Use Permit that is in compliance
with the approved site plan, floor plan, and elevations. The supermarket will continue to
be operated in compliance with all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
C. The subject site is physically adequate for the proposed use. The
use within the existing supermarket does not require additional parking. The subject
site is considered in compliance with all parking requirements because the site is not
expanding and the current footprint will not expand.
D. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the
continued use of a supermarket with the previously approved alcohol license would be
compatible with the surrounding uses and will not adversely affect those uses or
properties in the surrounding areas. The use has been in existence since 1966 when
the market originally opened and was modified in 2005 to the current 48,666 square feet
floor plan. Conditions have been imposed to ensure the proper sell of alcohol to patrons
in compliance with City Council Policy 600-1 (Standard Conditions for Alcohol Related
Land Uses).
E. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the super
market with the continued Type 21 (Off-sale general) alcohol license would not be
detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.
The indefinite extension of the Type 21 alcohol license has sufficient conditions
imposed to ensure that the use will comply with the Performance Standards set forth in
Section 11.4.10.020 of the Zoning Code and will not create adverse impacts upon
adjacent uses.
F. The subject site is located in Seal Beach Center. The City of Seal
Beach Municipal Code, Section 11.4.05.015 requires each alcoholic beverage
establishment to obtain approval of a CUP prior to issuance of an Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) License from the State of California. Additionally, the City of Seal Beach
requires any new alcohol licenses issued to be compliant with Seal Beach Council
Policy 600, which requires establishments to be 100 feet away from residential areas.
The subject establishment currently measures approximately 70 feet away from the
nearest residential property to the east but this is not a new retail license and has been
in in compliance since 1988. Policy 600 has a provision that the 100 feet conditions
does not apply if the alcohol license is existing. The applicant will be required to comply
with all conditions placed on the prior business.
G. The noise levels generated by the operation of the site would not
exceed the level of background noise normally found in the area as there will be normal
Resolution No. 20-5
1101 Pacific Coast Highway
Page 3 of 6
noises associated with parking areas. In the event that complaints are received in the
future, the Planning Commission reserves the right to reconsider the operation of the
business and the conditions of approval.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby
approves the indefinite extension of CUP 05-3 IE to approve an indefinite extension of a

Section 7. The Planning Commission made the following findings
regarding Conditional Use Permit 05-3 and determined the proposed project is consistent
with the General Plan:
a) Conditional Use Permit No. 05-3 is consistent with the provisions
of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, which provides a "service
commercial" designation for the subject property and permits the off-sale service of
alcoholic beverages and 24-hour business operations subject to the issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit. The use is also consistent with the remaining elements of the
City's General Plan as the policies of those elements are consistent with, and reflected in,
the Land Use Element. Accordingly, the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.
b) The building and property at 901 - 1101 Pacific Coast Highway
are adequate in size, shape, topography and location to meet the needs of the proposed
use of the property. Required adherence to applicable building and fire codes ensures
there will be adequate water supply and utilities for the proposed use.
c) The off-premises sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits and the 24-
hour operations, if properly conditioned and enforced, is compatible with the character of
the surrounding area. Adherence to conditions of approval placed on the use by both the
City of Seal Beach and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control should mitigate
any negative impacts to neighboring residential properties.
d) The subject property has been developed as a market since 1966.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the foregoing the
Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 05-3, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Conditional Use Permit 05-3 is approved for a new market. The permitted use
