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.

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.

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.

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. All plan check and future construction shall be in substantial compliance with the
plans approved through Conditional Use Permit 20-5. All new construction shall

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 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
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.

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.

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.

RESOLUTION NO. 21-01
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MINOR USE PERMIT 20-
10 TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 336 SQUARE FOOT
SECOND FLOOR DECK ON THE 2ND UNIT OF A MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENCE IN THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RHD-20)
ZONING AREA AT 115 3RD STREET.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Jonathan Zane on behalf of property owner Carol Harty (“the
applicants”) submitted an application to the Community Development Department for Minor
Use Permit 20-10. The proposed project includes the construction of a deck on the 2nd unit of
a multi-family residence that is nonconforming due to setbacks, density and parking located
at 115 3rd 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 addition that is under 10,000 square feet and all public services are available to allow
maximum development and the area is not environmentally sensitive.
Section 3. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the Planning
Commission on January 19, 2021 to consider Minor Use Permit 20-10. 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 20-10 for a proposed project at 115 3rd Street, Seal Beach,
California.
B. 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

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:
