GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY ZONE:RHD-20 (RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY) SITE DESCRIPTION:ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER: 199-071-09 LOT AREA: 3,372 SQ. FT. GROSS FLOOR AREA: 4,844 SQ. FT. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: NORTH: RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20) SOUTH: BEACH (BEA) EAST: RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20) WEST: RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20) 8 1 6 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 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. LEGAL NOTIFICATION The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Seal Beach Sun Newspaper on Thursday November 5, 2020 and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 300’ radius of the subject property on November 5, 2020, with affidavits of publishing and mailing on file. VICINITY MAP: AERIAL MAP: ANALYSIS The applicant, Nardi Associates, on behalf of Rac Development, (“owners”) filed an application with the Community Development Department for Minor Use Permit 20-8. The subject site is a 3,372 square foot parcel located on the south west corner of 12th Street and Seal Way in The Old Town area within the RHD-20 (Residential High Density) zoning area. The lot is currently developed with a two story tri-plex. The subject site is in the Residential Low Density (RHD-20) zoning area and is surrounded by residential uses on three sides and the beach to the south. The subject property is nonconforming due to density, and parking. According to Table 11.2.05.015 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, each unit on a parcel is required to have 2,178 square feet of lot area for properties in the RHD-20 zoning area. The subject site is required to have 6,534 square feet of lot area for the three units. However, the subject lot is only 3,372 square feet. According to Table 11.4.20.015 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, residential uses in the RHD- 20 zone are required to provide 2 off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit, with an interior 8 1 6 dimension of 18 feet wide by 18 feet deep. The subject site contains three dwellings unit which would require 6 enclosed parking spaces. The site contains 3 enclosed parking spaces. The applicant is proposing to add a roof deck and stair well leading to the roof deck, along with an exterior remodel of the existing triplex. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC Chapter 11.4.40) provides for certain development of nonconforming lots, including minor improvements such as open roof decks with associated stair ways. Pursuant to SBMC Section 11.4.40.015.B.1, a Minor Use Permit is required to process this application. In addition, due to the property’s location, the applicant must separately seek Coastal Commission approval for the project. In order to approve a Minor Use Permit, the Commission must make the following findings: 1. The proposal is consistent with the general plan and with any other applicable plan adopted by the city council; 2. 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; 3. The site is physically adequate for the type, density and intensity of use being proposed, including provision of services, and the absence of physical constraints; 4. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with and will not adversely affect uses and properties in the surrounding neighborhood; and 5. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use at the location proposed will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the proposed use. In this case, the alterations proposed on the subject site are consistent with the general plan, and existing provisions of this code. With the conditions recommended by staff, the proposed use is physically adequate for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including provision of services, and the absence of physical constraints. The improvement will not increase density or change beyond existing use of the property as the applicant does not propose to alter the existing units by adding any additional bedrooms or bathrooms. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with and will not adversely affect uses and properties in the surrounding neighborhood because 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, but will slightly change existing operating characteristics of the triplex by adding the roof deck amenity. Accordingly, the site will remain similar to surrounding uses throughout RHD-20. Finally, 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 addition of the roof deck and stairway will not 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 CONCLUSION After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 20-13 approving MUP 20-8 to allow the construction of a roof deck with the reconfiguration of the existing stairway to access the new deck along with new balcony railing and façade upgrades within an existing triplex that is nonconforming due to parking and density at 1117 Seal Way. 8 1 6 Prepared by: __ Steve Fowler______________ ___ Les Johnson_____________ Steve Fowler Les Johnson Community Development Department Community Development Director Attachments: 1. Resolution No. 20-13 2. Project Plans Page 1 of 3 RESOLUTION NO 20-13 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MINOR USE PERMIT 20-8 TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A ROOF DECK WITH THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE EXISTING STAIRWAY TO ACCESS THE NEW DECK ALONG WITH NEW BALCONY RAILING AND FAÇADE UPGRADES WITHIN AN EXISTING TRIPLEX THAT IS NONCONFORMING DUE TO PARKING AND DENSITY IN THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20) ZONING. AT 1117 SEAL WAY. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: Section 1.Nardi Associates (“the applicant”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for Minor Use Permit 20-8. The proposed project includes the construction of a roof deck with the reconfiguration of the existing stairway to access the new deck along with new balcony railing and façade upgrades within an existing triplex that is nonconforming due to parking and density located at 1117 Seal Way 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 November 16, 2020 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-8. 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 20-8 for a proposed project at 1117 Seal Way, Seal Beach, California. B.The subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of approximately 3,372 square feet. The property is approximately 37.48 feet wide by 90 feet deep. The site is surrounded by residential uses on three sides and the beach on the south side. C.The subject property is currently developed with a triplex and an attached three-car garage. Based on the existing density and the number of enclosed parking spaces 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 and the addition of open roof decks with associated stair ways with approval of a Minor Use Permit. E.The applicant is requesting approval to proposing to add a roof deck and stair well leading to the roof deck, along with a remodel of the exterior of an existing triplex. 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 Resolution 20-13 1117 Seal Way Page 2 of 3 5 3 1 0 land uses and permits minor alterations. The proposed addition of a roof deck and the stairway leading to the roof, along with the new balcony railings and façade change of an existing triplex 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 addition of a roof deck 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 triplex with an attached three-car garage and is considered nonconforming due to parking and density. The addition of the roof deck and stairway 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, but will slightly change existing operating characteristics of the triplex by adding the roof deck amenity. The site 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 addition of the roof deck and stairway will not 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 20-8 for the addition of the roof deck, stairway, façade remodel, and change of balcony railings of a nonconforming triplex is subject to the following conditions: 1.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Seal Beach Sun Newspaper on Thursday November 5, 2020 and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 500’ radius of the subject property on November 5, 2020, with affidavits of publishing and mailing on file. VICINITY MAP: AERIAL MAP: ANALYSIS The applicant, Nancy Smith, (“owner”) filed an application with the Community Development Department for Conditional Use Permit 20-3. The subject site is a 5,875 square foot parcel located on the west side of 13th Street between Ocean Avenue and Electric Avenue in The Old Town area within the RHD-20 (Residential High Density) zoning area. The lot is currently developed with a one story single family residence and detached two-car garage. The subject site is in the Residential Low Density (RHD-20) zoning area and is surrounded by residential uses on all sides. The subject property is nonconforming due to required yard setbacks. According to Table 11.2.05.015 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, interior side yard setbacks on properties in the RHD-20 zoning area are required to be 10 percent of the property width or a minimum 3 feet. The width of the property is 50 feet so the interior side yard setback on both sides of the residence is required to be 5 feet. Currently the south side yard setback on the existing residence is 4 feet. All other setbacks are conforming. 8 8 0 The applicant is proposing to add 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, demolition of the existing two-car garage, construction of a new 452 square feet garage, along with the addition of 1036 square feet of second story non-habitable attic space to the existing single-story residence. With the addition, the applicant will add a master bedroom, master bathroom, and laundry room to the existing 2-bedroom one-bathroom residence. The proposed addition will result in additional lot coverage. The proposed lot coverage will increase to approximately 3,526 square feet for a total lot coverage of 60%, which is less than the maximum 75% lot coverage that is permitted in the RHD-20 zone. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.40.020) allows improvements which involve the alteration or addition to residences that are nonconforming due to setbacks. The proposed addition will add habitable square footage to the single-story residence but will also add approximately 1036 square feet of non-habitable attic space to the garage and residential structure. A Conditional Use Permit is required for the proposed addition due to the south interior side yard setback currently being nonconforming. The proposed addition will not intensify the nonconforming setback. The proposed addition is generally consistent with other residential properties in the neighborhood and in the RHD-20 zone, and is consistent with the general plan. The second story attic addition is not common but a condition has been added to ensure that the attic remains non-habitable space and that this conditional use permit would need to be amended in order to make it habitable space. Finally, the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The addition to the residence will increase the existing lot coverage to approximately 60 percent. The lot coverage on the subject site will continue to be under the maximum 75 percent lot coverage permitted in the RHD-20 zone. The subject site will continue to operate as a residential property, which is consistent with the uses in the surrounding neighborhood. CONCLUSION After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 20-14 approving CUP 20-3 to allow the construction of 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, demolition of an existing two-car garage, construction of a new 452 square feet garage, and construction of a 1036 square foot second story non-habitable attic space addition to an existing 1,433 square foot single-family residence within the Residential High Density (RHD-20) zoning area located at 127 13th Street.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: Section 1.Nancy Smith (“owner”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for Conditional Use Permit 20-3. The proposed project includes the addition of approximately 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, and the demolition of the existing two-car garage and construction of a new 452 square feet garage along with 1035.70 square feet of second story non-habitable attic space of an existing one-story single-family residence which is nonconforming due to setbacks in the Residential High Density (RHD-20) zoning area. Section 2.This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Conversion of small structures) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301(e)(2) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the permitting of 977 square feet of habitable space, 1035.70 square feet of non-habitable second story attic space and addition of a 224 square feet enclosed front porch at a project where all public services and facilities are available to allow maximum development in the General Plan. Section 3.A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on November 16, 2020 to consider Conditional Use Permit 20-3. 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 subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of approximately 5,875 square feet. The property is approximately 50 feet wide by 117.5 feet deep. The site is surrounded by residential uses on all sides. B. The subject property is proposing to add approximately 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, and the demolition of the existing two-car garage and construction of a new 452 square feet garage along with 1035.70 square feet of second story non-habitable attic space to the existing one-story single-family residence with a detached two car garage at the rear. Based on the existing setback conditions, the subject property is considered nonconforming because Resolution 20-14 127 13th Street Page 2 of 5 the residence does not maintain the required south side yard setback. The proposed improvements will not expand any existing nonconformity. The proposed addition will comply with all required setbacks. C. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC § 11.4.40.020) allows improvements, which involve the alteration or addition to residences that are nonconforming due to setbacks. The addition is to add approximately 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, and the demolition of the existing two-car garage and construction of a new 452 square feet garage along with 1035.70 square feet of second story non-habitable attic space to the one-story residential structure that conforms to all other requirements of the Municipal Code. The addition will not intensify the nonconforming setback as the addition is proposed to meet the required 5 foot set back. Part of the addition will attach the residence to the proposed garage and will be constructed to meet all required setbacks. D. The applicant is proposing to add approximately 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, and the demolition of the existing two-car garage and construction of a new 452 square feet garage along with 1036 square feet of second story non-habitable attic space to the existing single-story residence. With the addition, the applicant will add a master bedroom, master bathroom, and laundry room to the existing 2-bedroom one-bathroom residence. The proposed addition will increase lot coverage to approximately 3,526 square feet or 60%, which is less than the maximum 75% lot coverage that is permitted in the RHD-20 zone. 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 additions 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 addition to the residence will allow for addition of a master bedroom and master bathroom but will not expand any nonconformity and will be consistent with other surrounding properties. The property is nonconforming because the existing residence does not meet the required interior side yard setback along the south property line. B. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district with Conditional 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 11.4.40.020) allows additions and improvements such as the alteration or addition of habitable square footage to nonconforming properties with approval of a Conditional 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 occupied with a one-story single-family residence and is considered Resolution 20-14 127 13th Street Page 3 of 5 nonconforming due to setbacks only. The addition to the residence will maintain development standards applicable to the RHD-20 zone. The improvements will not increase density or cause a change beyond existing use of 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 add habitable and non-habitable space, and will remain similar to surrounding residential uses throughout the RHD-20 zoned 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 addition to the residence will increase the existing lot coverage to approximately 60 percent. The lot coverage on the subject site will continue to be under the maximum 75 percent lot coverage permitted in the RHD-20 zone. 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 Conditional Use Permit 20-3 for the addition of approximately 977 square feet of habitable living space, 224 square feet of new porch area, and the demolition of the existing two-car garage and construction of a new 452 square feet garage along with 1035.70 square feet of second story non-habitable attic space to the existing single- story residence which is a nonconforming property subject to the following conditions: 1.
