Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the permitting of an addition that is under 10,000 sq. ft. and all
public services and facilities are available to allow maximum development and the area is not
environmentally sensitive.
LEGAL NOTIFICATION
The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Seal Beach Sun Newspaper on Thursday
July 23, 2020 and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 300’ radius of the subject
property on July 23, 2020, with affidavits of publishing and mailing on file.
VICINITY MAP: AERIAL MAP:
ANALYSIS
The applicant, Mark Wheeler, on behalf of the property owner, Jason Smallwood, (“the
applicant”) filed an application with the Community Development Department for Minor Use
Permit 20-6. The subject site is a 1,671 square foot parcel located on the south side of Surfside
Avenue within Surfside Colony, a gated private residential community. The lot is currently
developed with a three story residence. The existing residence will be remodeled and additional
square footage added to the habitable space and decks. The construction also entails adding a
covered roof access structure to the roof top deck. The subject site is in the Residential Low
Density (RLD-9) zoning area and is surrounded by residential uses.

The applicant is proposing to construct a covered roof access structure which will exceed the
maximum roof height by 5 feet 10 inches. The covered roof access structure measures 9 feet 5
inches in height, as measured from the roof deck level, and is approximately 7 feet 10 inches in
width by 9 feet 9 inches in length. The covered roof access structure will include a covered
stairwell, and the applicant proposes to match the exterior with the materials that are proposed
to be utilized on the residence. The roof access structure would be located in the northeast
corner of the residence and will include architectural features consistent with the rest of the
residence, including a standing seam gable roof design with shingle siding.
Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC §11.2.05.015.A.6) provides for non-habitable architectural
features, such as spires, towers, cupolas, belfries, monuments, parapets, domes, and covered
access to open roof decks to exceed the height limit established pursuant to SBMC
§11.2.05.015.A.3 (Surfside) up to a maximum of 7 feet, if granted pursuant to a Minor Use
Permit approval.
The height maximum for structures within Surfside Colony is 35 feet. The maximum height
elevation of the proposed covered roof access structure is 5 feet 10 inches beyond the 35 foot
height limit, below the 7 feet maximum projection. The total building height elevation will be 40
feet 10 inches at the peak of the structure. With exception to the covered roof access and a
chimney, the building height is 34 feet 10 inches. The Surfside Colony Architectural Review
Board has reviewed and approved the addition and remodel.
The proposal meets all applicable criteria set forth in the Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC
§11.2.05.015.A.3 & §11.2.05.015.A.6.c). The covered stairwell will be comprised of roofing
materials consistent with that of the remainder of the roof deck and existing structure. The
location of the covered access is located along peripheral exterior walls of the structure as
required. The structure occupies a minimal proportion of the roof deck and will only exceed the
height requirement by 5 feet 10 inches. Staff believes that the design and location of the
covered roof access structure, as proposed, meets the standards set forth in the Code.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 20-6 approving MUP 20-6 to permit a covered
roof access structure to exceed the allowable 35’-0” height limit by 5 feet 10 inches at 44 A
Surfside Avenue.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MINOR USE
PERMIT 20-6 TO PERMIT A COVERED ROOF ACCESS
STRUCTURE TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ROOF HEIGHT
BY 5 FEET 10 INCHES AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE AT 44 A SURFSIDE AVENUE.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1. Mark Wheeler, on behalf of property owner Jason Smallwood, (“the
applicant”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for
Minor Use Permit 20-6. The proposed project would allow for the construction of a
covered roof access structure which is a non-habitable architectural feature in excess of
the 35-foot height maximum in the Surfside Colony in the Residential Low Density
(RLD-9) zoning area.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facility)
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 an addition that is under 10,000 sq. ft. and all public services and facilities
are available to allow maximum development and the area is not environmentally
sensitive.
Section 3. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning
Commission on August 3, 2020 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-6. At the public
hearing, 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 20-6 for a proposed project at 44 A
Surfside Avenue, Seal Beach, California.
B. The applicant is requesting to construct an approximately 7 feet 10
inches in width by 9 feet 9 inches in length Covered Roof Access Structure that will
exceed the height limit by 5 feet 10 inches at 44 A Surfside Avenue. Under the Seal
Beach Municipal Code; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted beyond the

approximately 1,671 square feet. The property is 37.50 feet wide by 44.56 feet deep.
The site is surrounded by residential uses.
D. The proposed covered roof access structure will have roof lines,
roofing material, siding and exterior paint that are architecturally compatible with the
existing dwelling.
Resolution No.20-6
44 A Surfside Ave
-2 of 4-
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 structural alterations are consistent with the General
Plan. The General Plan specifies that redevelopment in the Surfside Colony is to be
compatible with the physical characteristics of its site, surrounding land uses, and
available infrastructure. The proposed roof access structure will not change the
character of the residence and will be consistent with other properties that have existing
access structures projecting approximately 5 feet 10 inches above the maximum height.
B. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district
with use permit approval and complies with all other applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code. The subject site is located within the Surfside RLD-9 zone, an area
where the Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.2.05.015.A.3 allows a maximum
projection of 7 feet beyond the height maximum for non-habitable architectural features
subject to approval of a Minor Use Permit. The proposed covered roof access structure
will exceed the 35-foot height limit by 5 feet 10 inches.
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 proposed to be a remodeled three-story single family residence with a roof deck. The
proposed covered roof access structure will not add habitable space and will remain
consistent with development standards set for the Surfside 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 Surfside RLD-9 zone, which consists of properties developed as single family
residences. Roof decks and covered roof access structures are common non-habitable
architectural features associated in this zoning district. 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 proposed covered roof access structure will not increase
bedrooms or habitable space to the residence. The subject site is proposed to operate
as a residential property, which is consistent with the uses in the surrounding
neighborhood.
F. The proposed non-habitable architectural feature, as conditioned, is
architecturally consistent with the proposed structure, with roof pitch, roof materials and
siding is architecturally compatible with that of the remainder of the structure. The
applicant will use the same finishes and materials as proposed for the remodeled
structure.
Resolution No.20-6
44 A Surfside Ave
-3 of 4-
G. The covered stairwell to the open roof deck is located along the
peripheral exterior wall of the building structure. The proposed structure will appear to
be an integral part of the proposed residence.
H. The covered roof access structure is less than 78 square feet in
size to just cover the stairs leading to the roof deck and meeting all California Building
Code Requirements.
I. The covered access structure will exceed the maximum height limit
by only 5 feet 10 inches. Similar structures exist within the Surfside RLD-9 zone that
project similar heights above the height limit. The access structure is consistent with the
character and integrity of the neighborhood. The structure will not significantly impair the
primary view of surrounding properties located within 300 feet because the surrounding
area has existing covered roof access structures that exceed the 35 foot height
maximum.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves
Minor Use Permit 20-6 to allow for the construction of a covered roof access structure
which is a non-habitable architectural feature in excess of the 35-foot height maximum
in the Surfside Colony in the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning area, subject to
the following conditions:
1. Minor Use Permit 20-6 is approved for the construction of a non-habitable
architectural feature for a Covered Roof Access Structure that is 5 feet 10 inches in
excess of the 35-foot height limit at 44 A Surfside Avenue, Seal Beach.
2. All construction shall be in substantial compliance with the plans approved through
Minor Use Permit 20-6. All new construction shall comply with all applicable
sections of the City’s Zoning Code.
3. There shall be no habitable space permitted within the Covered Roof Access
Structure.
4. Roof pitches and exterior finishes of the Covered Roof Access Structure shall be
compatible with the proposed roof pitches and exterior finishes.
5. Building permits shall be obtained for all new construction requiring such permits.
6. Applicant shall obtain California Coastal Commission approval prior to building
permit issuance.
6. This Minor Use Permit shall not become effective for any purpose unless an
“Acceptance of Conditions” form has been signed, notarized, and returned to the
Community Development Department; and until the ten (10) day appeal period has
elapsed.
7. The applicant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, agents
and employees (collectively “the City” hereinafter) from any and all claims and
Resolution No.20-6
44 A Surfside Ave

losses whatsoever occurring or resulting to any and all persons, firms, or

to, paying all fees and costs incurred by legal counsel of the City’s choice in

ANALYSIS
Aaron Downey & Melissa Phillips, (“the applicants”) filed an application for Minor Use Permit 20-
7 requesting approval for the alteration of less than 25% of interior walls to remodel the interior
of the existing single-family residence in order to provide a more usable layout by opening up
the kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-in closet in a bedroom of a residence that is
nonconforming due to setbacks. The subject site is located on the east side of 8th Street
between Electric Avenue and Central Avenue in the Old Town area. The parcel is developed
with a single story residence and a detached garage. The subject site is located in the RHD-20
zone and is surrounded by residential uses on three sides with commercial use to the east.
The subject property is nonconforming due to building setbacks. According to Table 11.2.05.015
of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, properties in the RHD-20 zone are required to maintain a
side yard setback that is 10% of the lot width. The subject property is rectangular in shape with
a lot width of 25 feet. Based on this dimension, the development standard requires a minimum
side setback of 3 feet. The residence does not meet the required side yard setback as it is 2 feet
10 inches on the north side. Additionally, the detached garage does not meet the side yard
setback as the setback is 1 foot 1 inch on the north side. The applicant is proposing to remove
8

6
interior walls to remodel the interior of the existing single-family residence to provide a more
usable layout by opening up the kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-in closet in a
bedroom. Due to the subject property’s nonconforming status, a minor use permit is required
prior to making certain structural repairs proposed by the applicant.
As noted above, the Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.40.015.A and B) allows minor
improvements to nonconforming residential structures, with varying levels of City approval
required. Section A of the above mentioned municipal code allows for improvements requiring
only a building permit for items such as skylights, solar systems, windows, and decorative
exterior improvements. Section B allows for improvements requiring a Minor Permit for items
such as open roof decks, exterior doors, and interior wall modifications which involves 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.
Because the applicant’s proposed improvements include interior remodeling, the Planning
Commission’s approval of a minor use permit is required.
Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 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 no additional bedrooms or bathrooms and will conform to
this provision. The alterations proposed on the subject site are consistent with the provisions of
this code and will not intensify the nonconforming setbacks.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 20-7 approving MUP 20-7 to permit the alteration of
less than 25% of interior walls to remodel the interior of the existing single-family residence to
provide a more usable layout by opening up the kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-in
closet in a bedroom of a residence that is nonconforming due to setbacks at 232 8th Street.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-7
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MINOR USE PERMIT 20-7
TO ALLOW THE REMODEL AND REMOVAL OF LESS THAN
25% OF INTERIOR WALLS TO PROVIDE A MORE USABLE
LAYOUT BY OPENING UP THE KITCHEN AND REMOVING
WALLS TO CREATE A WALK-IN CLOSET IN A BEDROOM OF
AN EXISTING SINGLE–FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT IS
NONCONFORMING DUE TO SETBACKS IN THE RESIDENTIAL
HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20) ZONING. AT 232 8TH STREET.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Aaron Downey & Melissa Phillips (“the applicants”) submitted an
application to the Community Development Department for Minor Use Permit 20-7. The
proposed project includes the alteration of less than 25% of interior walls to provide a more
usable layout by opening up the kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-in closet in a
bedroom of an existing single–family residence that is nonconforming due to setbacks
located at 232 8th Street in the Residential High Density (RHD-20) zoning area.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facility)
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 an interior remodel that is within an existing structure, involving negligible or no expansion
of use.
Section 3. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the Planning
Commission on July 23, 2020 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-7. 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 applicants submitted an application to the Community Development
Department for Minor Use Permit 20-7 for a proposed project at 232 8th Street, Seal Beach,
California.
B. The subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of
approximately 2,938 square feet. The property is approximately 25 feet wide by 117.5 feet
deep. The site is surrounded by residential uses on three sides and commercial on the east
side.
C. The subject property is currently developed with a one story single-
family residence with a detached two-car garage. Based on the existing side yard setbacks
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 20-7
232 8th Street
Page 2 of 4
interior walls, provided the bedroom/bathroom ratio does not exceed one and one half
bathrooms for each bedroom.
E. The applicants are requesting approval to modify the existing residence
on the nonconforming property through alteration of less than 25% of the interior walls in
order to remodel the interior to provide a more usable layout by opening up the kitchen and
removing walls to create a walk-in closet in a bedroom of an existing single–family residence.
The subject property currently has two bedrooms and one bathroom with no new bedrooms
or bathrooms proposed so the residence will conform to the provisions of SBMC
§ 11.4.40.015.B.
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 Old Town area (Planning Area 1) while
ensuring compatibility between residential and commercial uses. The General Plan also
recognizes existing nonconforming land uses and permits minor alterations. The proposed
alteration of less than 25% of interior walls in order to provide a more usable layout by
opening up the kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-in closet in a bedroom of an
existing single–family residence will not change the character of the property, will not expand
any nonconformity, 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 Old Town RHD-20 zone, an area where
the Seal Beach Municipal Code (Section 11.4.40.015.B) allows minor improvement such as
alteration of less than 25% of interior walls with 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 one story single-family residence with a detached two-car garage and is
considered nonconforming due to setbacks. The alteration of less than 25% of interior walls
will not add habitable space and will maintain development standards applicable to the RHD-
20 zone. 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-20
zone, which consists of properties developed as single family and multi-family residences.
The improvement will not add habitable space, will not change existing operating
characteristics of the single family residence, and will remain similar to surrounding uses
throughout RHD-20.
Resolution 20-7
232 8th Street
Page 3 of 4
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 20-7 for alteration of less than 25% of interior walls in order to
provide a more usable layout by opening up the kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-
in closet in a bedroom of an existing single–family residence of a nonconforming residence is
subject to the following conditions:
1. Minor Use Permit 20-7 is approved for the alteration of less than 25% of interior walls
in order to remodel the residence to provide a more usable layout by opening up the
kitchen and removing walls to create a walk-in closet in a bedroom of an existing
single–family residence of a nonconforming property located at 232 8th Street.
2. All plan checks and future construction shall be in substantial compliance with the
plans approved through Minor Use Permit 20-7. All new construction shall comply with

7. The applicants 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

ANALYSIS
Scott Levitt (“the applicant”), filed an application for a Minor Use Permit (MUP 20-2) to
allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller Machine (ATM) within a commercial
center. The subject property is located on the south west corner of Pacific Coast
Highway and 8th Street at 800 Pacific Coast Highway within the General Commercial
(GC) zone. The subject property is fully developed, consisting of a two-unit commercial
center approximately 11,454 square feet in size with associated parking. The two units
within the center are occupied by a retail clothing store, and a medical office related use.
The applicant proposes to install a surface mounted Wells Fargo ATM to be located in
front of the medical office suite just west of the business’s main entrance. The location
is easily accessible, is provided with adequate lighting and offers an unobstructed view
of Pacific Coast Highway.

The area is generally surrounded with commercial uses with high density residential
located to the south of the commercial center and low-density residential uses located
north to the north across Pacific Coast Highway.
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. As such, the proposed use will require two
dedicated parking spaces to be allocated, increasing the number of parking spaces
required for the center. The proposed use will be ancillary to the primary use of a
commercial center and will not increase the square footage of the building footprint.
The commercial center is compliant with Seal Beach Municipal Code Table
11.4.20.015.A.1 which requires a parking ratio of 1 parking space per 300 square feet of
Gross Floor Area (GFA) for a shopping center with commercial uses, and 1 parking
space per 200 square feet of GFA for medical office uses. The shopping center has a
GFA of approximately 4,326 square feet. The ratio would require the site to provide a
total of 17 parking spaces and there are currently 21 parking spaces, a surplus of 4
parking spaces. The proposed ATM in conjunction with a commercial/medical office use
will require two additional parking spaces leaving a surplus of 2 parking spaces.

The proposed use is compliant with the General Plan Land Use Designation of General

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

CONCLUSION
After concluding the public hearing and receiving public testimony, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 20-9 approving MUP 20-2
to allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in the General
Commercial (GC) zoned area in an existing shopping center located at 800 Pacific

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Scott Levitt on behalf of Maverick Decatur Georgia, LLC
(“applicant”) submitted an application to the City of Seal Beach Community Development
Department for Minor Use Permit (MUP) 20-2 to allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated
Teller Machine (ATM) within an existing commercial shopping center, at 800 Pacific Coast
Highway (the “subject property”), which is 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
Commission on August 3, 2020 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-2. 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 20-2 for the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller
Machine (ATM) within an existing commercial center at 800 Pacific Coast Highway, Seal
Beach, California.
B. The subject property is located on the south east corner of Pacific Coast
Highway and 8th Street. The site consists of a single parcel totaling 11,454 square-feet with
an approximately 4,326 square foot commercial building providing retail and medical office
uses in the General Commercial (GC) zone. The subject property is surrounded by
commercial uses to the north, east and west, with residential uses to the south.
C. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.05.030) allows for the
operation of Automated Teller Machines on the exterior of a structure 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:
A. The proposed Automated Teller Machine (ATM) located within a
commercial center 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
Resolution 20-9
800 Pacific Coast Highway
2
the commercial 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 - General Commercial zone, an area
where the Seal Beach Municipal Code (Section 11.4.05.030) allows for the operation of
Automated Teller Machines on the exterior of a structure, 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.
E. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will
not be detrimental to the health safety, or welfare of persons residing and working in the
vicinity. The ATM machine will be located in a visible location within a commercial center,
which is appropriate for the use. Additional conditions have been imposed to enhance
lighting and security within the center 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 20-2 to allow the operation of a 24-hour Automated Teller
Machine within a commercial center, located at 800 Pacific Coast Highway, in the General
Commercial (GC) zoning area, subject to the following conditions:

ANALYSIS
Leoh Sandoval on behalf of Barbara Evans (“the applicant”) filed an application for
Minor Use Permit 20-4 requesting approval to allow the addition of a 50 square foot
porch addition to an existing single-family residence that is nonconforming in the
Residential High Density (RHD-20) zoning area. The subject site is located near the
southeast corner of Central Avenue and 4th Street in the Old Town area. The parcel is
developed with a nonconforming single story single family residence and a detached
two car garage. The subject site is located in the RHD-20 zone and is surrounded by
residential uses on all sides.

The subject property is nonconforming due to the side yard and rear yard setback of the
rear detached garage. According to Table 11.2.05.015 of the Seal Beach Municipal
Code, interior lot properties in the RHD-20 zone are required to maintain a side yard
setback that is 10% of the lot width and a rear yard setback that is 24 feet minus alley
width. The subject property measures approximately 30 feet wide by 117.50 feet long.
Based on these dimensions, the development standard requires a side yard setback of
3 feet and a rear setback of 9 feet. The detached garage has a side yard setback of 1
foot and a rear setback of 3 feet.
The applicant is proposing to provide additional coverage by expanding the existing
front covered porch by extending it 2 feet 6 inches on each side. The expanded front
porch will measure 10 feet wide by 5 feet in depth for a total of 50 square feet. The
expanded front porch will match the existing sloped pitch of the roof to create a
seamless integration. The applicant is also proposing to construct an attached patio
cover located at the back of the home measuring 180 square feet. When completed, the
front porch addition and rear patio addition will be in compliance with required setbacks
established for the RHD-20 (Residential High Density) zone. Due to the subject
property’s nonconforming status, a minor use permit is required.
As noted above, the Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.40.015.A and B) allows
minor improvements to nonconforming residential structures, with varying levels of City
approval required. Section A of the above mentioned municipal code allows for
improvements requiring only a building permit for items such as skylights, solar systems,
windows, and decorative exterior improvements. Section B allows for improvements
requiring a Minor Use Permit for items such as open roof decks, exterior doors, and
interior wall modifications which involves 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. Because the applicant’s proposed improvements
include interior remodeling, the Planning Commission’s approval of a minor use permit
is required.
Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.4.40.015.B allows minor improvements which
involve the alteration or addition of roofs, balconies and porches to nonconforming
properties. No new bedrooms or habitable space is proposed beyond the exterior
alterations requested as part of this Minor Use Permit. The alterations proposed on the
subject site are consistent with the provisions of this code and will not intensify the
nonconforming setbacks.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 20-10 approving MUP 20-4 to
allow the addition of a 50 square foot front porch addition to an existing single-family
residence at 140 4th Street.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-10
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MINOR USE PERMIT 20-4
TO ALLOW THE ALTERATION OF AN EXISTING FRONT
PORCH ROOF, AND ADDITION OF A NEW ATTACHED REAR
PATIO COVER, ON AN EXISTING SINGLE–FAMILY
RESIDENCE THAT IS NONCONFORMING DUE TO SETBACKS
IN THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20) ZONING AREA
AT 140 4TH STREET.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Leoh Sandoval on behalf of property owner Barbara Evans (“the
applicants”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for Minor
Use Permit 20-4. The proposed project includes the alteration of an existing front porch roof,
and addition of a new attached rear patio cover, on an existing single-family residence that is
nonconforming due to setbacks located at 140 4th Street in the Residential High Density
(RHD-20) zoning area.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facility)
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 exterior of an existing residence, and addition of a new attached rear
patio cover where only minor modifications are required for the renovation.
Section 3. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the Planning
Commission on July 23, 2020 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-4. 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 20-4 for a proposed project at 140 4th Street, Seal Beach,
California.
B. The subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of
approximately 3,524 square feet. The property is approximately 30 feet wide by 117.5 feet
deep. The site is surrounded by residential uses on all sides.
C. The subject property is currently developed with a one story single-
family residence with a detached two-car garage. Based on the existing setback conditions,
the subject property is considered nonconforming because the garage does not maintain the
required side and rear setback. The proposed improvements will not expand any existing
nonconformity, and 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 involving the alteration or addition of roofs, balconies and porches of
nonconforming properties.
Resolution 20-10
140 4th Street
Page 2 of 4
E. The applicant is requesting approval to modify the existing residence on
the nonconforming property through alteration of an existing front porch roof, and addition of
a new attached rear patio cover. No new bedrooms or bathrooms will be created and the
residence will conform to the provisions of SBMC § 11.4.40.015.B.
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 Old Town area (Planning Area 1) while
ensuring compatibility between residential and commercial uses. The General Plan also
recognizes existing nonconforming land uses and permits minor alterations. The proposed
alteration of an existing front porch roof, and addition of a new attached rear patio cover, on a
nonconforming property will not change the character of the property, will not expand any
nonconformity, 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 Old Town RHD-20 zone, an area where
the Seal Beach Municipal Code (Section 11.4.40.015.B) allows minor improvement such as
the alteration or addition of roofs, balconies and porches to nonconforming properties with
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 one story single-family residence with a detached two-car garage and is
considered nonconforming due to setbacks. The alteration of an existing front porch roof, and
new attached rear patio cover, will not add habitable space and will maintain development
standards applicable to the RHD-20 zone. 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-20
zone, which consists of properties developed as single family and multi-family residences.
The improvement will not add habitable space, will not change existing operating
characteristics of the single family residence, and will remain similar to surrounding uses
throughout RHD-20.
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 an existing front porch roof, and addition of a new attached rear
patio cover, will not increase bedrooms, 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.

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
claims, losses, lawsuits or actions, expert witness fees, and any award of damages,
judgments, verdicts, court costs or attorneys’ fees in any such lawsuit or action.

BACKGROUND
The City of Seal Beach owns the restaurant building located at 15 First Street, and has leased it
to the applicant since 2018 to operate a restaurant. Previously, on October 28, 2002, the City
Council approved Conditional Use Permit 01-9 to serve beer and wine in conjunction with a
restaurant containing approximately 868 square feet inside the building with a 1,897 square-foot
outdoor patio area and a 522 square-foot covered patio area, at 15 1st Street. On October 22
2003, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 03-46 for the indefinite extension of
Conditional Use Permit 01-9. Pursuant to CUP 01-9, the approved hours of operation were
established as 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.
On August 6, 2008, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 08-16 for Conditional Use
Permit 08-5 to extend the evening business hours to 10 p.m., seven days a week. Subsequently,
on February 4, 2009, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 09-3 for the indefinite
extension of CUP 08-5, the continuation of daily hours from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and to allow non-
amplified live entertainment at the former River’s End Café located at 15 First Street.
In February 2018, the current tenant leased the restaurant from the City. On July 1, 2019, the
Planning Commission approved Resolution 19-7 for Conditional Use Permit 19-4 to extend the
morning hours of operation from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., and to upgrade the Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) License from a Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol license to a Type 47
(On-Sale General) alcohol license. Condition No. 4 of Resolution No. 19-7 states, “the premises
of the restaurant must remain in, and be operated in substantial compliance with the plan
submitted with the application and maintained on file with the Community Development
Department date stamped February 2019, and the terms of the lease agreement between the
City and the applicants. No modification to the exterior of the structure is permitted by that
approval.”
On February 18, 2020 the Planning Commission approved Resolution 20-2 for Conditional Use
Permit 19-8 to enhance the elevations of the existing restaurant building and outdoor patio area.
ANALYSIS
The restaurant building is owned by the City of Seal Beach. The tenant has now submitted an
application for Conditional Use Permit 20-2 to modify the previously approved plans, in order to
increase the size of the restaurant’s outdoor seating area by replacing and expanding the deck
area by 600 square feet. The applicant is not proposing any change to the existing Type 47 (On-
Sale General) alcohol license, or any change in the previously approved operating hours of 7
a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. The applicant is also not proposing any change to the size
of the restaurant approved by CUP 19-4, which will still operate in its current dimensions of
approximately 868 square feet of interior area, and 522 square feet of covered patio. The
proposal will increase the exterior patio area that is currently 1,897 square feet by approximately
600 square feet for a total of 2,497 square feet. The property is surrounded to the south, east
and west by the beach, a parking lot and newly developed park to the north and residential uses
to the north east.
The tenant/applicant is seeking to square off the outdoor dining area by replacing an existing
elevated deck with a new deck to be at the same elevation as the patio and expanded in size by
600 square feet. Additionally, a new emergency exit will be constructed near the southeast
corner of the deck, which will connect with an existing concrete sidewalk. The proposed
modified deck elevations are compatible with the existing use and the previously approved
building elevation enhancements. The perimeter design will be consistent with the previous plan
approval, providing for a short privacy wall of 2 feet and a top of clear acrylic screen for a total
height of 6 feet. This will provide for ocean and territorial viewing by the restaurant customers
while providing some protection from the wind that frequents this area. Building color and
materials used will be consistent with the previously approved building elevations.
The proposed deck expansion will accommodate approximately 3 tables with 4 chairs each. The
proposed occupancy increase would typically require 6 parking stalls but the location is served
by the City’s beach parking lot and the use is anticipated to draw a number of customers from
the beach, bicyclists and other users of the San Gabriel River Trail, as well as neighboring
residents who are likely to walk or bicycle to the restaurant. With the minimal number of tables
and the draw of biking to the beach, it is recommended that the applicant add a bike rack to
accommodate and emphasize biking. The enhanced elevations will also help provide better
security from people getting under the patio area. Previously approved conditions are still in
place to help ensure that the use, building and proposed increase to the patio will be compatible
with the surrounding uses. All conditions previously imposed on CUP 19-8 will remain in place.
The proposed elevation enhancements will not result in any intensification or modification of the
restaurant use or its impacts.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving public testimony, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 20-8 to approve CUP 20-2 to permit
the expansion of the deck area of an existing restaurant with a Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license by 600 square feet within the Beach (BEA) zoning area.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY FIND
AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.The Beach House, LLC submitted an application to the City of Seal
Beach Department of Community Development for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 20-2 to permit
the expansion of the deck area of an existing restaurant with a Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license by 600 square feet at 15 1st Street (the “subject property”), which is
located in the Beach (BEA) zoning area.
Section 2.This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facility) 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 an addition that is less
than 50% of the floor area of the structure before the addition or 2,500 square feet, whichever is
less.
Section 3.A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission
on August 3, 2020 to consider the application for CUP 20-2. At the public hearing, the Planning
Commission received and considered all evidence presented, both written and oral, regarding
the subject application. The record of the public hearing indicates the following:
A. The subject site is adjacent to the beach in the 1st Street parking area.
The subject site consists of a 2,937 square-feet (0.06 acre) parcel with an existing restaurant
use of approximately 868 square feet of interior area with a 1,897 square feet outdoor patio area
and a 522 square feet covered patio area. The subject site is surrounded to the south, east and
west by the beach, a parking lot and newly developed park to the north and residential uses to
the north east. The subject property is located in the Beach (BEA) zoning area. The City of Seal
Beach owns the property and has leased the existing restaurant to the applicants.
B. The City previously approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-4 and 19-
8, pursuant to Resolution No. 19-7 and 20-2 respectively, for the restaurant use and elevation
change, including permitting the upgrade of the Type 41 (beer and wine) alcohol license to a
Type 47 (On-Sale General) alcohol license to allow beer, wine and distilled spirits in conjunction
with a restaurant and outdoor dining along with expanded operating hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m. seven days a week, at the subject site.
C. The proposed increase of deck area of the restaurant’s patio area will
maintain the footprint of the existing restaurant structure. The increased floor area of the patio,
as modified by this application, will square off the patio area to create a larger dining area. No
changes are proposed or will be made to the current dimensions of the existing restaurant use
of approximately 868 square feet of interior area, or the 522 square-foot covered patio area but
will increase the 1,897 square-foot outdoor patio area by approximately 600 square feet for a
total of 2,497 square feet.
Resolution No. 20-8
15 1st Street
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:
A. The proposed modification to the outdoor patio floor area is consistent
with the General Plan. The General Plan specifies that the Public Use or Beach Land Use
designation indicates that the beachfront is more of a regional recreation attraction and thus
should provide a broad range of service needs for the community. A restaurant with a beer and
wine license has previously been found to be consistent with the General Plan and operated on
the site for several years previously. With the continued use of the existing structure and the
expanded patio area as a restaurant with an outdoor dining area along with the Type 47 alcohol
license allowing service of beer, wine and distilled spirits, the restaurant can continue to offer its
customers a wider range of beverages to compliment the food items on the menu and
accommodate more visitors.
B. The proposed use complies with applicable provisions of the Municipal
Code. The Municipal Code allows for expansions of square footage that have an alcohol
license with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed restaurant will be operated in
compliance with all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code and the existing lease for
the restaurant.
C. The subject site is physically adequate for the proposed use. The
restaurant utilizes the existing 1st Street parking for its customers as it is anticipated to draws a
number of customers from the beach, bicyclists and other users of the San Gabriel River Trail,
as well as neighboring residents who are likely to walk or bicycle to the restaurant. With the
minimal number of tables and the draw of biking to the beach, it is recommended that the
applicant add a bike rack to accommodate and emphasize biking.
D. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the restaurant
with the proposed increase in patio floor area, in combination with the previously approved Type
47 alcohol license and continued operating hours, would be compatible with the surrounding
uses and will not adversely affect those uses or properties in the surrounding areas. The
proposed enhancements of the building comply with the height, and setback requirement of the
Seal Beach Municipal Code and Public Uses land Use designation.
E. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the restaurant with the
increased patio area, along with the previously approved Type 47 (on-sale general) alcohol
license and extended operating hours would not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare
of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The proposed increase in patio area have
sufficient conditions that were previously 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 a City-owned beach and recreation area in
Windsurf Park. The subject site is 415 feet from the nearest residential property, the parking
area for the restaurant is adjacent to a public park that is under construction and residential
property. The subject site has operated a restaurant with an alcohol license since 2003. 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 conversations
while dining. 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.
