A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING VARIANCE
APPLICATION No. V-7-67, CONSTRUCTION OF A
ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT ABOVE A GARAGE AT
1624 OCEAN AVE. (MR. & MRS. J. E. DENISON)
WHEREAS, in the matter of Variance Application No. V-7-67, the Planning Commission
of the City of Seal Beach does report as follows:
1. Subject case was initiated by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Denison, 12 Governor Rd.,
Stoneham, Mass. Authorized agent for Mr. and Mrs. Denison is E. R. Mitchell,
General Contractor, 16742 16th St., P.O. ~ox 586, Sunset Beach, California.
2. Request is to permit construction of a one bedroom apartment above a garage
at the rear of an existing single family residence and to be attached to the
single family residence. Request includes variance from both the rear yard
setback requirement and one sideyard setback requirement.
3. Legal description of property is Lot 13, Block F, Tract NO.1. Street address
is 1624 Ocean Ave., Seal Beach.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings are as follows:
. 1. One verbal protest was received from Mr. Uenry Espoy.
2. The alley at the rear of subject property is twelve feet wide. The request is
that the setback from the alley at the ground floor shall be eleven feet rather
than the required twelve feet. This request of one foot reduction at the ground
floor level is reasonable and proper since the existing one story garage is now
located at this setback.
3. The proposed second story apartment is indicated as overhanging the ground
floor to the rear to a point seven feet from the existing alley line. This
encroachment into the rear yard requirement at the second story level only
is acceptable.
4. The request for reduction in the minimum sideyard requirement on the south side
of the garage to two feet is not acceptable and the required three foot side
yard setback shall be maintained.
5. The narrow width of the public alley to the rear of subject property causes
severe traffic problems. Addition of more apartment units such as in the
subject case will cause additional traffic to be generated along this alley.
A six and one-half foot wide strip across the rear of subject property shall
be dedicated to the City of Seal Beach for future alley widening purposes and
for public utility purposes.
