A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SEAL BEACH
APPROVING APPEAL A-3-77 FILEO BY FOREST CHURCHILL
ON PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF VARIANCE V-12-77
FOR A ROOM ADDITION WHICH EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED
LOT COVERAGE IN THE R-l ZONE.
WHEREAS, an application was duly filed by Forest R. Churchill, 4817
Dogwood, Seal Beach, for Variance V-12-77; and
WHEREAS, the property is described as Lot 47, Tract 6173, and is more
commonly known as 4817 Dogwood; and
WHEREAS, the proposal was for a room addition which exceeds the maximum
permitted lot coverage in the R-l zone; and
WHEREAS, on July 20, 1977, the Planning Commission denied Variance V-12-77
by Resolution No. 1070 on the basis that no hardship has been
demonstrated; and
WHEREAS, the applicant appealed the Planning Commission's denial of
V-12-77 by Appeal A-3-77; and
WHEREAS, on August 22, 1977, the City Council held a public hearing on
A-3-77 and referred the matter back to the Planning Commission
with findings that:
1. A second story addition would have a negative effect upon
the neighborhood.
2. 23% of the homes in College Park East area presently exceed
40% lot coverage; and
WHEREAS, on September 7, 1977, the Planning Commission considered the
City Council's referral of A-3-77 and determined that no new
information was presented that had not already been considered
in conjunction with V-12-77 and the Planning Commission, by
Resolution No. 1077, recommended that Appeal A-3-77 be denied;
and
WHEREAS, on October 10, 1977, City Council considered the Planning
Commission's recommendations and determined to approve Appeal
A-3-77 based on the following findings:
1. A second story addition would have a negative impact on
the neighborhood.
2. 23% of the homes in the College Park East area presently
exceed 40% lot coverage, which is a right substantially
enjoyed by most neighbors.
3. The subject house is a Model 12 which is the smallest
one-story model in the tract.
4. The location of the parkway strip behind the sidewalk
gives the impression of a larger lot.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby
grant Appeal A-3-77.
