WHEREAS,
on July 20, 1992, Karl and Laura Hinrichs submitted an application for
Height Variation 92-29 to the Department of Development Services; and
the application requests after-the-fact approval of a height variation for an
existing covered roof access structure (CRAS) at A-I09 Surfside. The
existing CRAS is L-shaped and has an area of approximately 95 square
feet; and
this application was submitted to comply with the requirements of City
Ordinance 1322 which set forth new standards for the construction and
maintenance of CRAS's within the City. Ordinance 1322 requires a
property owner of an existing CRAS apply to the City for a Height
Variation if their existing CRAS does not conform to the new standards;
and
the existing CRAS at A-I09 Surfside Avenue exceeds the maximum area
of 42.25 square feet necessary to cover the stairwell; and
the subject property is legally described as Orange County Assessors's
Parcel Number 178-462-11; and
the subject property is surrounded on three sides by single family
residences in the Residential Low Density zone (RLD) of Surfside and the
Pacific Ocean on the south; and
a duly noticed public hearing was held on November 18, 1992, to
consider Height Variation 92-29: and
during the Public Hearing on Height Variation 92-29 there was no
opposition, either written or verbal, to the granting of this request; and
the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. The existing CRAS is architecturally in keeping with the remainder
of the structure, with the roofing materials and siding matching
those of the remainder of the structure;
2. The existing CRAS is in keeping with the character and integrity
of the surrounding neighborhood where numerous covered
roof-access structures have been constructed in close proximity to
the subject property;
3. The existing CRAS was constructed in accordance with the plans
approved in June of 1980, with final inspection on July 2, 1981;

4. The existing CRAS exceeds the minimum horizontal dimensions
necessary to cover the stairwell, however, due to the configuration
of the stairwell, no habitable living space is provided within the
structure; and
5. Due to the flat terrain in the vicinity of the proposed structure, it
does not significantly impair the primary view of any property
located within 300 feet of the subject property.
6. There was no opposition of any kind expressed during the public
hearing on Height Variation 92-29.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of Seal Beach does hereby approve of Height Variation 92-29 permitting an existing
covered roof-access structure at A-I09, Surfside, Seal Beach, as constructed in accordance with
plans approved by the City in June 1980, with final inspection on July 2, 1981.
