RESOLUTION NO. 166
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH REAFFIRMING ITS
DENIAL OF VARIANCE APPLICATION NO. V-18-67
AND RETURNING IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR
FINAL ACTION. (HAKER).
WHEREAS, in the matter of variance application No. V-18-67, the Planning Commission
of the City of Seal Beach does report as follows:
1. Subject application is for encroachment of living quarters into the required
front yard at 1235 Catalina Avenue, Lot 100 of Tract 1817. Applicant is
Myron L. Baker.
2. By Resolution No. 149, the Planning Commission denied this application for
variance. Mr. Baker subsequently appealed this decision to the City Council
of the City of Seal Beach. On October 2, 1967, the City Council referred
this case back to the Planning Commission with recommendation for approval
of the variance.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings are as follows:
1. No new or additional facts have been presented which warrant changing the
original decision by the Planning Commission.
2. The Planning Commission is quite concerned that variances be granted only
for good and sufficient reasons, consistent with their understanding of our
zoning ordinance. To clarify this concern there is attached hereto and made
a part of this Resolution as Exhibit "A", the talks entitled "Dangerous
Trends in Zoning - Misuse of Variance Device" and excerpts from "Dangerous
Trends in the Use of The Conditional Use Permit", both of which were pre-
sented at a meeting of the Southern California Planning Congress, August
10, 1967.
NOW, THEREFORE, HE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Seal
Beach does hereby reaffinl its original action denying Variance No. V-18-67 and
does return it to the City Council for their final action.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 4th day of October,
I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was duly adopted at a regular meeting
of the Planning Commission of the City of Seal Beach which was held on Wednesday,
October 4, 1967.
