.
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING VARIANCE
APPLICATION NO. V-lO-65 FOR A REDUCTION OF

LOT COVERAGE AT 701 TAPER DRIVE.

2.
,
Subject case was ~nitiated by Harvey E. Webb, Jr., 701 T~per Drive, Seal Beach.
Subject proposal i~ to construct an addition to an existing structure on Lot
41, Tract 2590, wh~ch is 701 Taper Drive. Permission requested for a sub-
standard rear yard and an increase in the maximum lot coverage.
By Resolution No. 3~, dated July 7, 1965, the Planning Commission of the City
of Seal Beach denied this variance request on the basis that no exceptional
conditions or extraordinary circumstances were found that did not apply to
the general area and no property rights were denied to this property owner
that were available to other property owners in the area.

4. The City Council of the City of Seal Beach on July 16, 1965 found that extra-
ordinary circumstances did exist relating to this property, in that the atrium
plan of the house used up more than the usual amount of land space, making it
difficult to construct additions onto the existing structure without a variance
of the nature requested. The case was referred back to the Planning Commission
for further study and action.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings are as follows:
1. The rear yard setback required is 10 feet and the maximum lot co~erage allowed
is 40%.
2. The request is as follows: to allow construction of an addition to the present
structure with a 6 foot rear year and 45.7% lot coverage.
3. The City Cduncil by its action of July 16, 1965 has indicated that the
difficulties caused by this particular type of atrium plan are acceptable
as extraordinary circumstances.
4. Based upon finding No. 3 above, the Planning Commission finds that this would
not be a grant of special privilege.
5. This case shall be considered unique in itself and shall not be construed as
a precedent for general acceptance of requests for reduction of required rear
yards.
e
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Seal
Beach does hereby approve Variance Application No. V-IO-65 to allow construction
of an addition to the rear of the residence at 701 Taper Drive with a 6 foot rear
yard and a total lot coverage of 45.7%, as presented, and does recommend such
approval to the City Council.
