ANALYSIS
ACMIA1 RAAD.
The applicant, Mark Wheeler, on behalf of the property owners, Armando Garcia and Stev
Lawrence, ("the applicant') filed an application with the Community Development Department for
Minor Use Permit 21-2. The subject site is a 1,010 -square -foot parcel located on the north side of
Surfside Avenue within Surfside Colony, a gated private residential community. The lot is currently
developed with a single -story residence. The existing residence will be demolished and rebuilt as
a three-story, single-family residence. The construction also entails adding a covered roof access
structure to the rooftop 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 4 feet 6 inches. As measured from the roof deck level, the covered roof
access structure measures 9 feet in height and is approximately 7 feet 4 inches in width by 16
feet 11 inches in length. Approximately 10 feet 3 inches of that length will be above the 35 -foot
building height limit. The covered roof access structure will include a covered stairwell, and the
applicant proposes to extend a portion of the east side exterior wall to be integrated as a part of
the roof access structure. The roof access structure would be located in the northeast corner of
the residence and will include architectural features consistent with the design of the new
residence.
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 4 feet 6 inches above the 35 -foot height
limit, below the 7 feet maximum projection. The total building height elevation will be 39 feet 6
inches at the peak of the structure. With exception to the covered roof access, the building height
is 34 feet. 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 and §11.2.05.015.A.6.c). The covered stairwell will be comprised of roofing
materials consistent with the remainder of the roof deck and proposed new 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 4 feet 6 inches. In addition, the proposed structure is consistent with the character
and integrity of the neighborhood as the surrounding area has numerous existing covered roof
access structures that exceed the 35 -foot height maximum.
Lastly, the structure will not significantly impair the primary view of surrounding properties located
within 300 feet because it only covers a limited portion of the roof top, and is located in the B Row
with primary views from properties in the A and C Rows being to the south and north, respectively.
Staff believes that the design and location of the covered roof access structure, as proposed,
meets the standards set forth in the Code, and is similar in size to previous Minor Use Permit
approvals related to covered roof access structures.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 21-10 approving MUP 21-2 to permit a covered
roof access structure to exceed the allowable 35 -foot height limit by 4 feet 6 inches at 84 B
Surfside Avenue.

STRUCTURE TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ROOF HEIGHT
BY 4 FEET 6 INCHES AT A PROPOSED SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENCE AT 84 B SURFSIDE AVENUE.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. Mark Wheeler Residential Design, on behalf of property owners
Armando Garcia and Stev Lawrence, ("the applicant") submitted an application to the
Community Development Department for Minor Use Permit 21-2. 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 maximum height in the Surfside
Colony in the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning area.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 3 (New Construction)
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for the
construction of covered roof access structure that exceeds the maximum building height
by 4 feet 6 inches on a proposed single-family residence.
Section 3. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning
Commission on October 4, 2021, to consider Minor Use Permit 21-2. 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 21-2 for a proposed project at 84 B
Surfside Avenue, Seal Beach, California.
B. The applicant is requesting to construct an approximately 7 feet 4
inches by 18 feet 3 inches Covered Roof Access structure that will exceed the height limit
by 4 feet 6 inches at B 84 Surfside Avenue. Under the Seal Beach Municipal Code; 7 feet
is the maximum height variation permitted beyond the height limit through a Minor Use
Permit.
C. The subject property is rectangular in shape with a lot area of
approximately 1,010 square feet. The property is 25 feet wide by 40 feet 4 inches 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
proposed dwelling.

Resolution No.21-10
84 B Surfside Ave
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 more than 4 feet 6 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 4 feet 6 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 developed with a 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 that are architecturally compatible with that of the remainder of the structure. The
applicant will use the same finishes and materials as proposed for the new structure.
6POTE"I
Resolution No.21-10
84 B Surfside Ave
G. The covered roof access structure 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. As permitted through a Minor Use Permit, the covered access
structure would exceed the maximum height limit by 7 feet or less (4 feet 6 inches). Similar
structures exist within the Surfside RLD-9 zone that project up to 7 feet above the height
limit. The proposed 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 it only covers a limited portion of the roof top,
is located in the B Row with primary views from properties in the A and C Rows being to
the south and north, respectively, and the surrounding area has numerous 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 21-2 to allow for the construction of a covered roof access structure
which is a non -habitable architectural feature in excess of the 35 -foot maximum height in
the Residential Low Density (RLD-9) zoning district of the Surfside Colony, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Minor Use Permit 21-2 is approved for the construction of a non -habitable
architectural feature for a Covered Roof Access Structure that is 4 feet 6 inches
above the 35 -foot height limit at 84 B Surfside Avenue, Seal Beach.
2. All construction shall be in substantial compliance with the plans approved through
Minor Use Permit 21-2. 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 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,

ANALYSIS
The subject property is located on the north side of Pacific Coast Highway at 1025 Pacific
Coast Highway in the Service Commercial (SC) zone. The property is developed with a
multi -tenant shopping center approximately 306,627 square feet in lot area referred to as
the Seal Beach Center. The center is anchored by a Von's Pavilions restaurant and a
CVS drug store. There are single-family residences located to the north and east of the
commercial center with commercial and residential uses to the south and west across
Pacific Coast Highway. The applicant has submitted an application for a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) to upgrade an existing Type 41 (on -sale beer and wine — eating place)
license to a Type 47 (on -sale general — eating place) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
license.
The subject location contains an existing 2,308 -square -foot restaurant space, located
within the Regency Center/Seal Beach Shopping Center. Since 1984, the business within
the property has operated as "Coach's Sports Grill," a sports -themed restaurant serving
pub type food and beverages. The business has been operating under Conditional Use
Permit 8-84, approved by the Planning Commission on May 2, 1984. Conditional Use
Permit 08-84 allowed for the sale of beer and wine for on premise consumption. The
applicant proposes to continue operating as a restaurant within the existing 2,308 -square -
foot commercial space. As part of the request for a Type 47 ABC license, minor alterations
will be completed within the restaurant to create a small defined bar/seating area. The
restaurant proposes to be open daily. In addition, the establishment is required to comply
with all policies pertaining to alcohol uses.
Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 11.4.05.015 requires each alcoholic
beverage establishment to obtain approval of a CUP prior to issuance of an Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) License from the State of California. On-site alcohol
consumption will still be restricted to the restaurant only. Conditions have been imposed
on the establishment to ensure the proper service of alcohol to patrons in compliance with
City Council Policy 600-1 (Standard Conditions for Alcohol Related Land Uses). The
proposed use is in compliance with the General Plan Beach Land Uses definition that
encourages commercial areas to provide a broad range of retail and service needs for
the community.
The restaurant proposes to reopen under new branding concept, to be known as "Mash
SB", and is seeking to enhance its floor plan to complement the food menu items. Mash
SB proposes to operate as a light sports -themed restaurant, providing an elevated menu
well-suited for the type of food and beverage items to be offered. A restaurant serving
beer and wine has previously been determined to be compatible with neighboring uses
and the use enhances customer experiences. The interior modifications have conditions
incorporated to help ensure that the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses.
The Type 47 alcohol license permits the restaurant to offer beer, wine and distilled spirits.
The use is allowed subject to the Commission's approval of the CUP application with its
modified plans. The subject building is physically adequate and the proposed use is
compatible with the existing uses in the area, as the subject site has operated as a
restaurant with an alcohol license since 1984. The hours of operation will be consistent
with previously approved hours from 11 AM to 11 PM Monday through Friday, and 10 AM
to 11 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
Additionally, the City of Seal Beach requires any new alcohol license to be compliant with
Seal Beach Council Policy 600-1, which requires establishments to be 100 feet away from
the nearest residential structure. Further, Policy 600-1, to limit potential noise impacts to
surrounding residential uses, also provides for a similar 100 -foot separation from the
parking areas for establishments serving alcoholic beverages. To address large, shared
parking areas such as at Seal Beach Center, Policy 600-1 defines the area from which
the separation should be measured as: "the area which would reasonably be necessary
to accommodate the anticipated parking needs of the premises..." The subject
establishment is located approximately 145 feet away from the nearest residential
structure to the north and, as proposed and conditioned, the rear door to the
establishment must be closed at all times and not be used as a customer entrance/exit.
Accordingly, staff has determined that the reasonable parking area to accommodate
patrons is within the larger northerly parking field closest to Pacific Coast Highway.
Therefore, for the purposes of Policy 600-1, the separation is approximately 145 feet as
measured from the rear wall of the premises to the nearest residential structure.
According to the Seal Beach Police Department the project site has a low number of calls
for service.
For reference, the issuance of a Type 47 ABC license does not count as an additional
license within the census tract ratio, as an on -sale general liquor license would replace
the previously issued on -sale beer and wine license. The proposed interior modifications
will not increase the number of parking spaces required for the center as the area of the
restaurant unchanged.
CONCLUSION
After conducting the public hearing and receiving testimony, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 21-13 to approve CUP 21-3 to
allow an existing restaurant with an existing Type 41 (On -sale Beer and Wine) alcohol
license to upgrade to a Type 47 (On -sale General) alcohol license within the Service
Commercial (SC) zoning area.

HIGHWAY
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
FIND AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Ribeye Restaurant Group, LLC submitted an application to the City
of Seal Beach Department of Community Development for Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
21-3 for the upgrade of an existing Type 41 (On -Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol license to
a Type 47 (On -Sale General) alcohol license at an existing restaurant at 1025 Pacific
Coast Highway (the "subject property"), which is located in the Service Commercial (SC)
zoning area.
Section 2. This project is determined to be a Class 3 (Conversion of small
structures) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) for
the permitting of service of general alcohol at an existing restaurant, involving negligible
or no expansion beyond the existing use.
Section 3. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning
Commission on October 4, 2021 to consider the application for CUP 21-3. 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 location operates as an existing restaurant space,
located within the Regency Center/Seal Beach Shopping Center, consisting of 2,308
square feet. The property is developed with a multi -tenant shopping center with a lot area
of approximately 306,627 square feet. There are single-family residences located to the
north and east of the commercial center with commercial and residential uses to the south
and west across Pacific Coast Highway. The subject property is located in the Service
Commercial (SC) zone.
B. The proposed upgrade of the alcohol license from a Type 41 (On -
Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol license to a Type 47 (On -Sale General) alcohol license for
beer, wine and distilled spirits does not require any modifications to the existing building.
The applicant is maintaining the footprint of the existing restaurant with the exception of
tenant improvements to establish the branding decor of the restaurant.
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 (SBMC), the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
Page 1 of 6
Resolution No. 21-13
1025 Pacific Coast Highway
A. The proposed upgrade of the alcohol license in conjunction with a
bona fide eating establishment is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan
specifies that Service Commercial Land Uses should provide a broad range of retail and
service needs for the community. With the continued use of the subject site as a
restaurant along with the upgraded service of beer, wine and distilled spirits, the
restaurant can offer its customers a wider range of beverages to compliment the food
items on the menu.
B. The proposed use complies with applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code. The SBMC allows for the upgrade of the Type 41 (On -Sale Beer and
Wine) alcohol license to a Type 47 (On -Sale General) alcohol license at a bona fide eating
establishment subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed restaurant
is in compliance with all other applicable provisions of the SBMC.
C. The subject site is physically adequate for the proposed use. The
restaurant with the upgrade of the alcohol license does not require alterations to the
exterior of the building and no additional parking is required. The subject site is
considered in compliance with all parking requirements because the site is not expanding
and the current footprint will not expand.
D. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the
proposed restaurant with the alcohol license upgrade would be compatible with the
surrounding uses 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 SBMC and Commercial - Service land Use designation. Conditions have been
imposed to ensure the proper service of alcohol to patrons in compliance with City Council
Policy 600-1 (Standard Conditions for Alcohol Related Land Uses). The proposed hours
of operation for the restaurant will be 11 AM to 11 PM Monday through Friday, and 10
AM to 11 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
E. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed
upgrade of the alcohol license from a Type 41 (On -Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol license
to a Type 47 (On -Sale General) alcohol license would not be detrimental to the health,
safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The proposed upgrade of
the license will not require modifications to the site and sufficient conditions have been
imposed to ensure that the use will comply with the Performance Standards set forth in
SBMC Section 11.4.10.020 and will not create adverse impacts upon adjacent uses.
F. The subject site is located within the Regency Center/Seal Beach
Shopping Center. The subject site is approximately 145 feet from the nearest residential
structure as measured from the rear access that is limited to employee and emergency
use only located at the back of the restaurant. Alternatively, the subject site is
approximately 240 feet from the nearest residential structure as measured from the
restaurant's primary front entrance (with the subject structure intervening). The subject
site has operated a restaurant with an alcohol license since 1984. 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 enclosed space. In the event that complaints are
Page 2of6
Resolution No. 21-13
1025 Pacific Coast Highway
received in the future, the Planning Commission reserves the right to reconsider the
operation of the business and the conditions of approval.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby
approves CUP 21-3 to permit 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 within an existing commercial restaurant building, at 1025
Pacific Coast Highway, subject to the following conditions.
1. Conditional Use Permit 21-3 is approved to permit the upgrade of the Type 41 (On -
Sale 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 at
an existing restaurant at 1025 Pacific Coast Highway.
2. The applicant shall comply with all restrictions placed upon the license by the State
of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. In connection with the City
