GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY ZONE:Residential Low Density (RHD-9) SITE DESCRIPTION:ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER: 178-471-10 LOT AREA: 958 SQ. FT. GROSS FLOOR AREA: 1,973 SQ. FT. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: NORTH: Residential Low Density (RHD-9) SOUTH: Residential Low Density (RHD-9) EAST: Residential Low Density (RHD-9) WEST: Residential Low Density (RHD-9) 9 1 9 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Construction) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301(e) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the construction of 106 square feet of habitable space on an existing single-family residence. LEGAL NOTIFICATION The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Seal Beach Sun Newspaper on Thursday January 7, 2021 and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 500’ radius of the subject property on January 7, 2021, with affidavits of publishing and mailing on file. VICINITY MAP: AERIAL MAP: ANALYSIS Chasen and Samantha Tedder, (“applicants”) filed an application with the Community Development Department for Conditional Use Permit 20-5. The subject site is a 958 square foot parcel located on the south side of Pacific Avenue within Surfside Colony, a gated private residential community. The lot is currently developed with a three-story single-family residence. The subject site is within the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning area and is surrounded by residential uses. The applicant is proposing to add approximately 106 square feet of total habitable space to the 2nd and 3rd floors by converting exiting balconies. The applicant will also be remodeling the interior of the residence. This will not add any bedrooms but will add to bedroom 3 and the living room. The proposed addition will not result in additional lot coverage. 9 1 9 The subject property is legal nonconforming due to the rear yard setback. According to Table 11.2.05.015.A.1 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, rear yard setbacks on properties in Surfside in the RLD-9 zoning area are required to be 3 feet. The rear yard setback is only 2 feet 7 inches at the south west corner of the building. 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 habitable square footage to the second and third floor to a residential structure that conforms to all the requirements of the municipal code. The Conditional Use Permit is required due to the parcel having a structure that does not meet rear yard setback requirements. The addition will not intensify the nonconforming rear yard setback. The proposed addition is consistent with other residential properties. The plans have been reviewed by the Surfside Colony Review Board and approved. CONCLUSION After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 21-2 approving CUP 20-5 to construct a 53 square feet addition on both the 2nd and 3rd floors of an existing residence totaling 106 square feet at C7 Pacific Avenue.

Plans Page 1 of 4 RESOLUTION NO. 21-2 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 20-5 TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL 106 SQUARE FEET OF HABITABLE SPACE AND THE REMODEL OF A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT IS NONCONFORMING DUE TO REAR YARD SETBACKS IN THE SURFSIDE COLONY LOCATED IN THE RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY (RLD-9) ZONING AREA. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: Section 1.Chasen and Samantha Tedder, (“the applicants”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for Conditional Use Permit 20-5. The proposed project includes a 53 square foot addition on the second and third floors totaling 106 square feet of habitable space and the interior remodel of a single- family residence that is nonconforming due to rear yard setbacks in the Surfside Colony located at C 7 Pacific Avenue which is nonconforming due to setbacks in the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning area. Section 2.This project is determined to be a Class 1 (Conversion of small structures) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301(e)1 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the permitting of a 53 square-foot second and third story addition which is less than 50 percent of the existing single-family residence. Section 3.A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on January 19, 2021 to consider Conditional Use Permit 20-5. 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 site consists of a 958 sq. ft. parcel developed with a three-story single-family residence and two-car garage. The subject site is located on the south side of Pacific Avenue in Surfside Colony area. The subject site is surrounded by residential uses on all sides. The subject property is located in the RLD-9 (Residential Low Density) zone. B. The subject property is currently developed with a three-story single- family residence and attached two car garage. Based on the existing setback conditions, the subject property is considered nonconforming because the portion of the rear of the house that faces the neighboring residence is within the 3-foot rear yard setback. The proposed improvements will not expand any existing nonconformity. The proposed addition will maintain all current required setbacks. Resolution 21-2 C7 Pacific Avenue Page 2 of 4 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 habitable square footage to the second third floors of a residential structure that conforms to all the requirements of the Municipal Code. The addition will not intensify the rear nonconforming setback. D. The applicant is proposing to add approximately 106 square feet 0f habitable space, 53 square feet to the second floor and 53 square feet to the third story of the residence. The proposed addition will not add any bedrooms but will add space on to an existing bedroom and living room. The proposed addition will not result in additional lot coverage. The Surfside Colony does not have a lot coverage requirement. 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 addition is consistent with the General Plan which encourages architectural diversity in the Surfside Colony while ensuring compatibility between all residential uses. The General Plan also recognizes existing nonconforming land uses and permits minor alterations. The proposed addition to the bedroom and living room, will not expand any nonconformity, and will be consistent with other surrounding properties. The property is nonconforming because the rear setback of the residence is does not meet the required rear yard setback of 3 feet. 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 Surfside Colony in the RLD-9 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 developed with a single family residence and is considered nonconforming due to setbacks only. The addition to the residence will maintain development standards applicable to the Surfside RLD-9 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 Surfside Colony RLD-9 zone, which consists of properties developed as single family residences. The improvement will add approximately 106 square feet of habitable space and will remain similar to surrounding residential uses throughout the RLD-9 zoned area. Resolution 21-2 C7 Pacific Avenue 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 proposed addition will not result in additional lot coverage. 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 20-5 for the addition of a total of 106 square feet to the second and third floors of an existing three-story single-family residence which is a nonconforming property subject to the following conditions: 1. Conditional Use Permit 20-5 is approved for the addition of a total of 106 square feet to the second and third floors of an existing three-story single family residence which is nonconforming due to rear yard setbacks, located at C7 Pacific Avenue, for additional space in an existing bedroom and living room. 2.

LOCATION:115 3rd Street APPLICANT:Jonathan Zane/Carol Harty RECOMMENDATION:After conducting the Public Hearing, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 21-01, APPROVING Minor Use Permit 20-10 with Conditions. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY ZONE:RHD-20 (RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY) SITE DESCRIPTION:ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER: 199-146-14 LOT AREA: 5,876 SQ. FT. GROSS FLOOR AREA: 2,829 SQ. FT.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Seal Beach Sun Newspaper on Thursday January 7, 2021 and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 300’ radius of the subject property on January 7, 2021, with affidavits of publishing and mailing on file. VICINITY MAP: AERIAL MAP: ANALYSIS Jonathan Zane on behalf of Carol Harty (“the applicant”) filed an application for Minor Use Permit 20-10 requesting approval to construct a 336 square foot deck second floor deck to the 2nd unit of an existing multiple-family residence that is nonconforming in the Residential High Density (RHD-20) zoning area. The subject site is located near the southwest corner of Central Avenue and 3rd Street in the Old Town area. The subject parcel is developed with two buildings (Buildings A and B) containing three units total. The front two-story unit (Building A) facing 3rd Street contains a single unit on each floor for a total of two units, and the rear two-story unit (Building B) is constructed with a single unit. 8 1 9 The subject deck is proposed to be constructed on the rear unit (Building B) off the 2nd floor situated toward the interior of the lot to replace a previously constructed deck. 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 setbacks, as well as parking and density. 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 percent of the lot width. The subject property measures approximately 50 feet wide by 117.50 feet long. Based on these dimensions, the development standard requires a side yard setback of 5 feet. Unit B has a side yard setback of 1 foot along the south property line, which is deficient by 4 feet. Due to the subject property’s nonconforming status, a minor use permit is required prior to construction repairs as proposed by the applicant. The subject property is also legal nonconforming due to parking. According to Table 11.4.05.015.A.1 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. The subject site contains three units, and by code standards is required to have 6 enclosed parking spaces. However, the site only contains 3 enclosed parking spaces which make the site deficient by 3 enclosed parking spaces. Lastly, the subject property is legal nonconforming due to density. According to Table 11.2.05.015 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, the maximum density allowed in the RHD-20 zone is 1 unit per 2,178 square feet of lot area. The subject site contains three units, and by code standards is required to have 6,534 square feet. The property currently measures 5,876 square feet, thus making it deficient by 658 square feet. The applicant is proposing to provide additional coverage by constructing a 336 square foot deck off the 2nd floor of the second unit. The proposed deck measures 12 feet in depth by 28 feet in length, and will be built to replace a previously constructed deck of the same size that was removed due to long term exposure from the elements which made repairs prohibitive and the use of the deck unsafe. The new proposed deck will continue to provide outdoor access from the habitable uses on the second floor. When completed, the rear deck 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. 8 1 9 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. 21-01 approving MUP 20-10 to allow the construction of a 336 square foot deck on the 2nd unit of a multi-family residence at 115 3rd Street.

The subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of approximately 5,876 square feet. The property is approximately 50 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 two buildings containing three units total. Based on the existing setback conditions, the subject property is considered nonconforming because the second unit does not maintain the required side yard setback. The property is also nonconforming due to density, and insufficient parking. 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. E. The applicant is requesting approval to modify the existing residence on the nonconforming property by construction of a second floor deck attached to the 2nd floor of Resolution 21-01 115 3rd Street Page 2 of 4 5 2 8 0 the second unit. 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 improvement/addition is 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 construction of a second floor deck to the 2nd unit, 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 two separate buildings with attached parking and is considered nonconforming due to setbacks, density and parking. The construction of a new deck to replace the previously demolished deck, 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 construction of the new deck, 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. Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves Minor Use Permit 21-01 for the construction of a rear deck, on a nonconforming property is subject to the following conditions: Resolution 21-01 115 3rd Street Page 3 of 4 5 2 8 0 1. Minor Use Permit 20-10 is approved for the construction of a second floor deck, attached to the 2nd floor of the rear 2nd unit, on a nonconforming property located at 115 3rd Street. 2. All plan checks and future construction shall be in substantial compliance with the plans approved through Minor Use Permit 20-10. All new construction shall comply with all applicable state and local codes. 3. The applicant is required to obtain all Building and Safety permits prior to construction or demolition. 4. All materials, color, and finishes of the wall finish will be consistent with existing roof pitches and exterior finishes of the residential dwelling. 5. 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. 6. The applicant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents and employees (collectively “the City” hereinafter) from any and all claims and losses whatsoever occurring or resulting to any and all persons, firms, or corporations furnishing or supplying work, services, materials, or supplies in connection with the performance of the use permitted hereby or the exercise of the rights granted herein, and any and all claims, lawsuits or actions arising from the granting of or the exercise of the rights permitted by this Minor Use Permit, and from any and all claims and losses occurring or resulting to any person, firm, corporation or property for damage, injury or death arising out of or connected with the performance of the use permitted hereby.
