RESOLUTION NUMBER l5S6
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH RECOMMENDING TO THE
CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF ZONING TEXT
AMENDMENT 7-87, A REQUEST TO AMEND THE ZONING
REGULATIONS GOVERNING STRUCTURAL ALTERATIONS
TO NONCONFORMING RESIDENTIAL USES AND TO
ESTABLISH REGULATIONS PROHIBITING PARKING IN
FRONT YARDS
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
WHEREAS, in September 1987, the City Council initiated a portion
of Zoning Text Amendment 7-87 in response to concerns
about a provision of the Code of the City of Seal Beach
which requires one parking space per unit for minor
additions to nonconforming residential properties above
a density threshold of 3S units per acre; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission initiated another portion of
ZTA 7-87 on February 17, 1988 after staff presented a
report to the Commission noting some inequities in the
zoning ordinance relating to structural modifications
to nonconforming residential uses; and
WHEREAS, in response to a number of complaints from citizens,
the City Council initiated an amendment addressing the
parking of motor vehicles in the unpaved portion of the
front setback; and
WHEREAS, a draft ordinance has been prepared which amends
Chapter 28 of the Code of the City of Seal Beach to
remove the density threshold from the parking
requirements for additions to nonconforming residential
uses, allow some administrative approval of additions
to residential uses which are nonconforming only due to
setbacks, extend the administrative approval element to
Surfside and prevent parking motor vehicles in front
yards; and
WHEREAS, Zoning Text Amendment 7-87 will not adversely affect
the General Plan as it will not alter land uses.
Rather ZTA 7-87 will encourage property owners to
maintain attractive residential areas, and facilitate
the maintenance and improvement of nonconforming
residential properties; and
WHEREAS, Zoning Text Amendment 7-87 will not cause any adverse
environmental impact as stated in Negative Declaration
lS-87, and therefore the Planning Commission recommends
this Negative Declaration to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Zoning Text Amendment 7-87 will promote the health and
welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of
the City of Seal Beach does hereby recommend to the City council
Zoning Text Amendment 7-87.
