RESOLUTION NO. 900
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH DEFINING VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF
GREENHOUSES AND RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
DETERMINE THAT "ROOF MOUNTED GREENHOUSES" NOT BE
PERMITTED IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES.
A request was filed with the Planning Commission for a clarification of ambiguity
regarding permitted location of greenhouses in residential zones.
The Planning Commission reported its recommendations to the City Council in
Resolut~on No. 892.
The City Council returned the matter to the Planning Commission to consider three
items:
1. Definition of greenhouse,
2. Consider limiting the determination to the R-l zone,
3. Determine whether or not roof mounted greenhouses should be permitted
on roofs which are used as decks.
The Planning Commission now finds as follows:
1. The following definitions should apply:
"Greenhouse" - an enclosure used for propogation, cultivation and protection
of tender plants, flowers or vegetables. Said enclosures consist of glass,
plastic material or other relatively clear material which mayor may not be
supported by framework.
"Roof Mounted Greenhouse" - a greenhouse constructed on top of the roof of
an existing residence, not readily accessible through the main structure
and not designed as a part of the building.
"Upper Story Greenhouse" - a greenhouse which maintains the roofline of the
existing structure and does not exceed the height of the existing roofline.
Access is through the residence and the greenhouse is designed to be
architecturally compatible with the building.
2. Roof Mounted Greenhouses, as defined above, should not be permitted in any
residential zone.
3. Upper Story Greenhouses, as defined above, should be permitted in all
residential zones.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Seal
Beach does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt the three definitions,
not permit "Roof Mounted Greenhouses" in any residential zone, and allow
"Upper Story Greenhouses" in all res identi a 1 zones.
