RESOLVE:
WHEREAS, on July 9, 1990 Surfside colony, Ltd. filed an
application with the Department of Development Services
for Zone Change 1-90 and General Plan Amendments 2A-90
and 2B-90, requesting to merge each privately owned lot
with that portion of the right-of way adjacent to the
existing residential lots and change the zoning of the
affected portion of the right-of-way from S-P Parking
zone, (S-P) to Residential Low Density zone, (RLD); and
WHEREAS, the Southern Pacific right-of-way traverses the City of
Seal Beach in roughly an east-west direction; and
WHEREAS, within the Surfside Colony the right-of-way is
presently utilized for the private garages of single-
family homes adjacent to the right-of-way, the alley
adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway and for the Surfside
Colony community parking lot; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of Zone Change 1-90 will result in an
increase of approximately 1.1 acres of low density
residential land within the city; and
WHEREAS, staff has prepared an initial environmental assessment
and proposed Negative Declaration as required by the

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:

not increase the number of lots within the

namely detached garages and rear yards.

development within Surfside.
3. As conditioned by staff, the proposal will result
in a more orderly use of the affected lots and
provide for a decreased lot coverage of the
affected lots and an increase in private open
space on said lots.
4. As conditioned by staff, over time the proposal
will result in a safer conditions for pedestrians,
