RESOLUTION NUMBER 92-2 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING HEIGHT VARIATION #92-1, A REQUEST TO APPROVE COVERED ROOF ACCESS STRUCTURES AT VARIOUS CITY OF SEAL BEACH RESIDENCES (See Attachment A) THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: WHEREAS, in February 1991 the city of Seal Beach adopted new construct~on and maintenance standards for covered roof access structures (CRAS) within the city by adopting City Council Resolution No. 1322 (Attachment B); and WHEREAS, during the summer of 1991 Planning Department staff conducted a survey of all CRAS's in the city, div~ding those existing CRAS's ~nto two categor~es: (1) those which met the new standards; (2) those which failed to meet the new standards because they were (a) located on an exterior side wall, (b) were too large or (c) the roofing material did not conform to the remainder of the structure; and WHEREAS, staff's survey located ninety-nine (99) CRAS's which did not conform to the new standards. Of those, sixty (60) were non-conforming solely due to their location along a structures exterior wall; and WHEREAS, the new standards require property owners of existing CRAS's to apply to the c~ty for a Height Variation if their ex~sting CRAS does not conform to the new standards; and WHEREAS, based on Planning commission findings in approving requests for CRAS's under the new standards, specifically to the location of a CRAS on an exterior wall, staff prepared a memo to the Planning commission recommending all sixty (60) CRAS' s be considered under one Height Variation request; and WHEREAS, a duly noticed Public Hearing was held on February 5, 1992 to consider approving Height Variat~on 92-1; and WHEREAS, all sixty (60) subject properties are located in residential zones in the city of Seal Beach. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following find~ngs: 1. The CRAS's are appropriate for the architectural styles of the various res~dential structures. 2. The CRAS's roofing materials are in substant~al conformity with their structure's roofing material. 3. The CRAS's are limited to the minimum area, both hor~zontally and vertically, necessary to cover the stairwell. 4. The CRAS' s are located along peripheral exterior walls of the structure. Due to the narrow lot width in Old Town and Surfside, the placement of the CRAS's along the exterior wall is appropriate. 5. The CRAS's do not significantly impair the primary view of any structure located within 300 feet. 6. The CRAS's are appropriate for the character and integrity of the neighborhoods; all sixty (60) CRAS's are located in the Old Town and Surfside communities. .
