BACKGROUND: On May 20, 2009 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and determined to deny the subject request on a 4 -0 -1 vote (Commissioner Larson was absent). On June 3, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 09- 25 denying the subject application on a 4 -0 -1 vote (Commissioner Larson was absent). Please refer to Attachment 2 to review Planning Commission Resolution No. 09 -25 for the findings and determination of the Planning Commission regarding the height variation denial. Please refer to Attachment 3 to review the Planning Commission Minutes of May 20 and June 3, 2009 and to Attachment 4 to review the Planning Commission Staff Report of May 20, 2009. The Applicant timely appealed the Planning Commission's decision and the matter is now before the City Council for consideration at a de novo public hearing. FACTS: ❑ The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 20, 2009 to consider Height Variation 09 -5, a request to construct a non - habitable architectural feature in excess of the 25 -foot height limit. Specifically, the applicant proposed to construct a 4' -10" by 11' -10" elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by 5' -6'; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted. Both Agenda Item X Page 2 written and oral evidence was submitted for the project. After receiving all public testimony the Planning Commission closed the public hearing and after discussion, the Commission determined to deny the request. The Commission adopted Resolution 09 -25 denying the subject application at the June 3, 2009 Planning Commission meeting. ❑ On June 12, 2009 an appeal was filed (See Attachment 1). The matter is now before the City Council for consideration at a de novo public hearing. STANDARD OF REVIEW FOR HEIGHT VARIATION: In general the Code of the City of Seal Beach, (Code) states that no building or structure shall exceed the height limit for the district and zone in which it is located. However, Section 28- 2317(D) provides for height variations for non - habitable architectural features. Specifically, Section 28- 2317.D.1, Scope, states: "Scope: Non - habitable architectural features, such as spires, towers, cupolas, belfries, monuments, parapets (not required by Uniform Building Code), domes and covered stairwells to open roof decks may exceed the height limit established for the district in which such structure is located to a maximum of seven feet (7) if granted pursuant to the procedures contained in this section." Further, Section 28- 2317.D.2.c, Review, states: "Review: (1) The Planning Commission may at a scheduled public hearing approve or disapprove such application, subject to any conditions deemed appropriate. In reviewing an application, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria and make findings thereon: (a) Whether such variation is appropriate for the architectural style of the building. (i) Whether all roofing materials of a covered stairwell to an open roof deck are in substantial conformity with the roofing materials of the remainder of the structure. (ii) Whether a covered stairwell to an open roof deck is located along peripheral exterior walls of the structure. (iii) Whether a covered stairwell to an open roof deck is limited to the minimum area, both horizontally and vertically, necessary to cover the stairwell. (b) Whether such variation is appropriate for the character and integrity of the neighborhood. Page 3 (c) Whether such variation significantly impairs the primary view from any property located within 300 feet. (d) Detailed and complete plans for the proposed work." The above findings direct the determinations of the City Council' regarding consideration of either denial or approval of the subject Height Variation request. The City Council would need to make affirmative findings to support each of the above criteria if it determines to grant the subject request. APPELLANTS REASONS AS TO WHY THEY FEEL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION WAS IN ERROR: Please refer to Attachment 1 to review the written "Appeal Application to City Council' and accompanying attachments. The appellant/applicant is requesting that the City Council approve the requested Height Variation. DISCUSSION RELATING TO THE "STANDARDS OF REVIEW" FOR HEIGHT VARIATION APPROVALS: The subject application is a discretionally allowable project, and the City Council is required to make the findings specified in Municipal Code Sections 28- 2317.D.2.c.(1)(a) in order to approve the application. Those findings are set forth above on page 2. In sum, the issue is whether, based upon the evidence presented tonight, the proposed project can be found consistent with the zoning ordinance provisions and the findings discussed above can be made in a positive manner. CITY COUNCIL OPTIONS re: APPEAL: After receiving all public testimony and the record of the public hearing, the City Council has the following options: 1) Direct staff to draft a resolution denying Height Variation 09 -5, or 2) Direct staff to draft a resolution conditionally approving Height Variation 09 -5 with appropriate conditions, as may be specified by the City Council upon receipt of all public testimony and completion of City Council deliberations.

The plans for the construction of a single family home at the address above comply with the building code for the City of Seal Beach and Measure Z. The project has been reviewed by City Planning Staff, who concur and support the design / plans as submitted. The City Attorney has opined that the plans submitted do not violate Measure Z. The City Attorney clearly assured the Commission and audience that the CRAS is in complete conformance with the acceptable Height Variation Code set forth and has nothing to do with the Measure Z height limit. The variation request for a cover over an elevator to the roof deck falls one and one half feet lower than the height limit setout in the Building Code. The purpose for the elevator, that stops at all accessible floors in the home, is to allow elderly, disabled, or challenged individuals to enjoy all of their property. The proposed building is architecturally appropriate and consistent with the character and integrity of the neighborhood. The proposed structure to protect the elevator shaft is minimally visible from the street and is aesthetically characteristic of the homes and buildings in Seal Beach. It should be noted that there is no habitable space involved in the structure and there are no windows. The denial of the covered elevator shaft does not prevent a roof deck — any claim of loss of privacy is mute when the structure is only as high as necessary to step out onto the roof deck. We believe that this variation will not adversely impact the view of any neighbors. The Planning Commission has been swayed by individuals that spoke negatively and presented misinformation at the hearing and have ignored the Staff, Attorney, and the Law (Code).. We are including copies of recent applications for similar variations that have been approved and constructed in the neighborhood. It appears that the decision rendered is incorrect. We plead that the City Council reverse the decision of the Planning Commission and allow the plans as submitted to move forward in the plan check process. Furthermore, the Planning Commission offered unworkable architectural design suggestions in an attempt to solve a problem that was only created by the commissions denial of a legal CRAS conforming completely to the city code. We understand that all Seal Beach residents have their voice in their city, however, to let a few ill- informed residents cause a misguided denial of a legally conforming permit application is not in the best interest of all citizens of Seal Beach. Elements that are Stated on the Resolution of the Planning Commission: Section 5 (b) states that the CRAS Structure is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood which is misstatement. There are (2) Residences with CRAS that are approved and do not negatively affect the neighborhood; Section 5 (c) states that the CRAS will significantly impair view of properties located within 300 feet of property. This is also not true as you can see by our submittal bf Elevation reflecting the Line of Site from across street looking at subject property. Enclosed Find: Copy of Word for Word discourse / explanation of differences between the requested Height Variation Application and the Measure Z issue that the City Attorney presented at Planning Commission Hearing; Copies of Letters from Neighbors in favor of CRAS on our project; Copies of previous CRAS Applications that have been approved in the area; (5) Copies of Pictures reflecting CRAS approved projects in the surrounding neighborhood; Cordially Submitted, 0. ) � o 11 Si tune 9 Date Applicant: Robert J Tavasci, AIA Address: 320 Pine Avenue, Suite 400 Long Beach, CA 90802 Telephone (562) 590 -5222 Planning commission meeting Height variation Resolution 09 -25 Question presented to Attorney from City staff. "Whether or not Measure Z prohibited height variations in old town" City Attorney: "We reviewed the issue, we reviewed Measure Z, we reviewed the code, and it is the city attorney's offices position that Measure Z in effect establishes a standard maximum height in old town of 25 feet and in the context of the municipal code that applies to sections 28701 and 28801 which established the standard maximum height for residential structures in old town, that is the residential high density and residential medium density districts in old town. Now, we reviewed not only the text, we reviewed councils directions when they called for the election on this matter, we reviewed the city attorneys impartial analysis that was prepared in advance of the election. Also, we reviewed ballot arguments that were proffered on both sides and those ballot arguments basically pertained primarily to the elimination of third stories. That was the intent of Measure Z: the intent was to limit the standard maximum residential height to 25 feet. Now, the question is how does it interact with the height variation procedures? Height variation procedures have long been in the code and they exist in a different section from the maximum height limits for the old town area. They are found in section 28 -2317 where not only do we have the height variations procedures; we have a series of exception to the height limits that exist before Measure Z, and apply to all zones throughout the city regardless of use, commercial districts, industrial areas, everywhere. These exceptions to height variations procedures apply everywhere; they are not just for old town. And the height variation procedures do not allow for the addition of third stories; they do not get at what Measure Z was intended to prohibit which is third story construction in old town. What the height the variation procedures do instead allow for small variation from the standard maximum height which after Measure Z in old town is 25 feet. So, the height variation can allow for slight variations above the 25 foot limit in old town if the planning commission finds the requested variation is architectural appropriate, appropriate for the character and integrity of the neighborhood, and does not significantly impair the view from any property located within 300 feet. And I just want to emphasize here; Measure Z was about two stories versus three stories, height variation process does not over turn that.... the height variation process does not allow for third story structures, it allows for non - habitable structures on roofs. And we also considered what it would mean if we were to interpret Measure Z to apply to eliminate the height variation process, well... logically we also have to eliminate the other exceptions down in the same section as the height variation process. Those exceptions apply to antennas, flag poles, chimneys, these sorts of structures that exceed 25 feet would be rendered non - conforming if we were to interpret Measure Z to eliminate height variations and that was clearly not the intent of Measure Z ... Measure Z was about prohibiting future third story construction in old town and consistent with that the height variation process still survives in the code." CITY COUNCIL Planning Commission hearing Date: May 20, 2009 Resolution Nos.: 09 -23, 24, 25, and 26 COPIES OF APPROVED HEIGHT VARIATION RESOLUTIONS THAT OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST SIX YEARS: We have requested records from the City of Seal Beach of the Height Variation Applications that have been approved by the Planning Commission within the last six years. Enclosed are copies of original Resolutions of (5) Projects that have been approved with the proposed CRAS (Covered Roof Access Structures) of various sizes. There are (47) in total of CRAS Resolutions that have been approved within the last 5 years in the City of Seal Beach. We have copies if requested. I would like to point out that at our Planning Commission Hearing on May 20, 2009, the Chairman Commissioner stated that there have been very few submittals, and most were denied, which as you can see is clearly not the case. Please consider these findings and overturn the denials on these projects and let us move forward.

Date RESOLUTION NO. 07-27 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING HEIGHT VARIATION 07 -2, PERMITTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NON - HABITABLE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE TO HOUSE AN ELEVATOR AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AT 231 15" STREET, SEAL BEACH THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: Section 1. On April 4, 2007, Mr. George Brown submitted an application for Height Variation 07 -2. The proposed project would allow for the construction of a non - habitable architectural feature in excess of the 25 -foot height limit. Specifically, the applicant proposes to construct a 8 -ft. 4 -in. by 4 -ft. 4 -in. elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by 5 feet; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted. At the Planning Commission meeting of May 9, 2007, the Planning Commission directed the applicant to revise the submitted plans to reduce the square footage of the elevator enclosure and eliminate portions of the exterior walls of the enclosure to reduce the visual impact of the structure. The revised plans reflect these changes, but after reviewing the house plans as originally drawn, the applicant determined that an additional lfoot would need to be added to the elevator enclosure to accommodate the elevator car and appurtenant mechanical equipment. As a result of this additional height increase, it became necessary to resend hearing notices to all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the subject property informing them of the modification to the original plan and delay the hearing until the regular meeting of June 20, 2007 Section 2. Pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs § 15025(a) and § Il.A of the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, staff has determined as follows The application for Height Variation No. 07 -2 is categorically exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. § 15303(a) (New Construction of Small Structures), because the application is for the construction of three (3) or less single family dwellings in an urbanized area; § 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) because the request is for a minor alteration in land use limitations in an area with an average slope of less than 20% and no changes in land use or density are involved; and, pursuant to § 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the approval may have a significant effect on the environment. Section 3. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on June 20, 2007 to consider Height Variation 07 -2. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission received into all evidence and testimony provided on this matter 1 of 4 Planning Commission Resolution No 07 -27 Height Yariation 07 -2 23 / —15" Street June 20, 2007 Section 4.

Staff Report Mr. Olivera stated that the applicant has not submitted an adequate Site Plan, so this item is to be continued to June 3, 2009. Public Hearinq Chairperson Deaton opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to speak, Chairperson Deaton continued the public hearing to June 3, 2009. 11. Height Variation 09 -3 124— 1 oth Street Applicant/Owner: Robert Tavasci / Bullethill Development, LLC Request: To construct a non - habitable architectural feature in excess of the 25 -ft. height limit. Specifically, the applicant proposes to construct a 4 -ft. 10 -in. by 11 -ft. 10 -in. elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by 5 ft. 6 -in. The maximum height variation permitted is 7 feet. Recommendation: Approval, subject to conditions, and adoption of Resolution 09 -23. Mr. Flower stated that Staff would like to present the Staff Reports with regard to Items 11, 12, 13, and 14 together, as these are all Height Variation (HV) requests presented by the same applicant and Staff anticipates that they will present many of the same issues. He requested that the presentation be for all four items at the same time. He recommended opening the public hearing concurrently to allow for comments for all items, but when it comes time to render a decision it would be appropriate to have a separate motion for each application. He counseled the Planning Commission (PC) that each application is separate and should be decided on its own merits. Chairperson Deaton asked if four separate public hearings would be conducted. Mr. Flower stated that if the PC wishes to do so, this could be done. Chairperson Deaton stated that she would prefer this. 4 of 13 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 2? 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 20, 2009 Staff Report Mr. Olivera delivered the staff report. (Staff Report is on file for inspection in the Planning Department) He provided some background information on this item and noted that the elevator would serve to allow access to the roof deck of a proposed new single - family residence (SFR). He explained that the applicant proposes to subdivide a 50 -ft. lot into two 25 -ft. lots and to construct a new SFR on one of the lots, with both stair and elevator access to the roof deck. He noted that the stair access is to be uncovered and the elevator access would require an enclosure for the elevator car. He stated that the elevator enclosure meets all Code requirements for a Height Variation (HV), which allows a structure to exceed the 25 -ft. height limit by 7 ft. He indicated that the approximate footprint of the elevator structure is 57 sq. ft. and the City Council (CC) Policy Directive of 1991 regarding Covered Roof Access Structures (CRAS) allows up to a 65 -sq. ft. footprint for such structures. Mr. Olivera then deferred to Mr. Flower with regard to questions as to whether the HV process is subject to Measure Z, which was passed by the voters in November 2008. Mr. Flower explained that after reviewing Measure Z and the City Zoning Code (ZC) it is the position of the City Attorney's Office that Measure Z establishes a standard maximum height in Old Town of 25 feet, and in the context of the Municipal Code (MC) this applies to Sections 28 -701 and 28 -801, which establish the standard maximum height for residential structures in Old Town. He indicated that after careful review of CC directives and all related discussion and documents, it was concluded that the intent of Measure Z was to eliminate third stories in Old Town and limit the standard residential height to 25 feet. He then explained that HV procedures have long been in the ZC and exist in Section 28 -2317 and are different from the maximum height limits for the Old Town Area. He noted that this Section includes not only the HV procedures, but various exceptions to the height limit that existed before Measure Z and apply to all zones throughout the City regardless of use. He noted that the HV procedures do not allow for third story structures, but allow for slight variations from the standard maximum height, which is 25 feet in Old Town. He stated that the PC can find that the HV is architecturally appropriate for the character and integrity of the neighborhood and does not significantly impair the view from any property within 300 feet. Mr. Olivera stated that Staff has received 5 telephone calls and 11 written letters all in opposition to the Height Variation (HV) projects. Commissioner Questions Commissioner Eager confirmed that the enclosure is to exceed the 25 -ft. height limit by 5 ft. 6 in. Mr. Olivera confirmed that the HV process allows a structure to exceed the 25 -ft. height limit by up to 7 feet. He noted that all four of the HVs are requesting a 5 -ft. 6 -in. exception. 5of13 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 20, 2009 Public Hearin 3 Chairperson Deaton opened the public hearing for HV 09 -3. 4 5 Robert Tavasci, architect for the project, briefly described the project stating that the 6 elevator shaft must be enclosed. Commissioner Massa -Lavitt clarified that 124 10th 7 Street would be part of the subdivided lot. Mr. Tavasci confirmed that it would be. 8 Commissioner Massa -Lavitt asked if the homes are to have a basement. Mr. Tavasci 9 stated that the basement would include a media room, a wine cellar, and would 10 essentially house the mechanical and electrical equipment. Commissioner Eagar asked 11 if the elevator goes down to the basement. Mr. Tavasci explained that it does and the 12 elevator equipment is also to be housed in the basement. Chairperson Deaton noted 13 that the PC previously approved some elevators in new homes on 15th Street, but this 14 was because the equipment was to be at the top of the structure. She stated that if the 15 equipment is to be in the basement, she does not see the need for the CRAS. Mr. 16 Olivera stated that the projects on 15th Street elected to use an elevator that works on a 17 vacuum system with the equipment located at the top of the elevator, but even if there 18 were no equipment at the top, an enclosure would still be required to protect the 19 elevator shaft. 20 21 The following members of the public spoke in opposition to HV 09 -3: 22 2? Mike Bubbe — Stated he is certain voters of Measure Z did not intend to continue to 4 _ allow CRAS, as they are eyesores, and an uncovered staircase would be best. 25 26 Barbara Barton — Voters stated their preference when they voted to pass Measure Z. 27 28 Joan Wolfelt — Neighboring home is a 3 -story home and she has no sunlight or 29 circulation of air on her property. 73 Percent of voters want the 25 -ft. limit and City 30 should follow what the residents want. 31 32 Larry Carey — asked why the elevator should exceed the height limit. Mr. Tavasci 33 stated it was to permit handicapped access. He recommended use of an uncovered 34 stairway and denial of this application. 35 36 Warren Morton — Eliminate CRAS and maintain the 25 -ft. height limit. 37 38 Jim Wolfelt — Residents do take the election very seriously, and 25 feet is the limit. 39 40 Mr. Tavasci explained that the owner intends to make the roof deck available to anyone 41 and this is why the elevator goes to that level. Chairperson Deaton stated that she has 42 been told that the ceiling heights could be lowered in order to stay within the 25 -ft. limit. 43 Mr. Tavasci stated that this might be possible. Commissioner Eagar stated that if the 44 elevator structure is denied, would occupants still have roof access. Mr. Tavasci stated 45 that they would have access via an uncovered stairway. 6of13 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 20, 2009 Commissioner Massa - Lavitt asked if a soils report was done prior to designing the basements. Mr. Tavasci stated that this was done. 3 4 There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Deaton closed the public 5 hearing for HV 09 -3. 6 7 Commissioner Comments 8 9 Chairperson Deaton stated that most of the Old Town homes with roof decks have 10 uncovered stairways for access, although some do have CRAS. She stated that the 11 members of the public who spoke tonight are opposed to allowing more of the CRAS. 12 She clarified that this application is for a Height Variation and not a Variance, which is 13 important because the legal findings that must be made for Variance do not apply in this 14 case. 15 16 Commissioner Massa - Lavitt stated that it is clear by their vote that the majority of the 17 community wants a 25 -ft. height limit; however, Measure Z did not address accessory 18 architectural features on the roof, such as chimneys, gazebos, or anything but roof 19 height. She noted that these homes are designed with the third floor in the basement, 20 and if this HV is permitted in the ZC, the applicant should be allowed to do this, and 21 arbitrarily ending the ability of people to request a HV is unreasonable. She stated that 22 she would vote for approval of HV 09 -3 and commented that changing the ZC to prohibit ?' CRAS would be another thing to consider. 25 Chairperson Deaton stated that since she has served on the PC, CRAS have been 26 denied whenever anyone has said "It is not compatible with my neighborhood; I don't 27 want it." She said that when the same arguments have been made as those made 28 tonight these applications have been denied. With regard to the homes constructed on 29 12th Street and those built on 15th Street and she explained that it is a different issue 30 when rethinking the homes on 15th Street to consider retrofitting an existing structure 31 versus dealing with a new one. She stated that the proposed homes for HV 09 -3 are 32 new and can be constructed with 8 -ft. ceilings, with the elevators, and with the 33 basement while staying within the height limit. She stated that residents are tired of 34 repeatedly having to come out to speak against the same issue. She emphasized that 35 before Measure Z the PC had denied CRAS in many cases, particularly when there has 36 been opposition to them. She cited the homes on 12th Street and Seal Way among 37 others. Chairperson Deaton then added that she understands how citizens would feel 38 betrayed after voting to approve Measure Z and commented that perhaps the PC has 39 not adequately explained the differences between a Height Variation and a Variance. 40 41 Commissioner Bello stated that the history as stated by Chairperson Deaton matches 42 her recollection of how the PC has voted on these types of applications. She 43 emphasized that the PC has listened to the residents and when there was enough 44 concern, the PC has been sensitive to this. She stated that the PC does favor 45 elevators, but questioned whether the architects and builders should attempt to design 4 new homes in such a way as to not go against what the community wants. 7 of 13 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 20, 2009 Commissioner Massa - Lavitt stated that she had a question for the applicant. 3 Chairperson Deaton reopened the public hearing. 4 5 Commissioner Massa -Lavitt asked Mr. Tavasci whether he would be willing to take the 6 elevators out of the plans and leave the elevator shaft so that it could be retrofitted later, 7 and just have the open stairway to the roof deck. Mr. Tavasci confirmed that this would 8 mean simply constructing the shaft. Commissioner Massa -Lavitt stated that should a 9 disabled person buy the home, the shaft would, be ready for retrofitting of an elevator. 10 Mr. Tavasci stated that it could be done, but he would have to check with the property 11 owner. Chairperson Deaton added that the conce�t of creating a large storage closet 12 on each floor was considered for the homes on 15t Street, with this space available to 13 be changed into an elevator shaft, should a "real person" need a "real elevator," and 14 other owners might enjoy the extra storage space. She noted that this change would 15 eliminate the need for a Height Variation. 16 17 Chairperson Deaton closed the public hearing. 18 19 Mr. Flower indicated that should the applicant decide to change the plans and convert 20 the elevator shaft to storage space, there would be no need for a Height Variation and 21 they could simply apply for the building permits. Mr. Olivera added that an elevator 22 could still be installed in the home, but there would be no elevator access to the roof 21 deck. Chairperson Deaton stated she believes architects can design homes with ceilings in one part of the house where the elevator could be where the ceilings could 25 be 8 feet and ceilings could be taller in the rest of the house creating an interesting roof 26 line. She said if the PC does not ask architects to do this, then the PC is betraying the 27 voters. 28 29 MOTION by Bello; SECOND by Eagar to deny Height Variation 09 -3 and adopt 30 Resolution 09 -23 as amended. 31 32 MOTION CARRIED: 4-0-1 33 AYES: Deaton, Bello, Eagar, and Massa - Lavitt 34 NOES: None 35 ABSENT: Larson 36 37 Commissioner Massa - Lavitt stated that she changed her intent to approve HV 09 -3 38 based upon the distinct possibility of changing the plans to construct the storage area 39 only into which an elevator might later be installed. 40 41 Mr. Flower advised that the adoption of Resolution No. 09 -23 begins a 10 -day calendar 42 appeal period to the City Council.

Commissioner Massa -Lavitt asked Mr. Tavasci if he were willing to consider removing the elevator from the plans and leave the elevator shaft so that it could be retrofitted later, and just have the open stairway to the roof deck. Mr. Tavasci stated that he is not certain of what is to be done at present, but one way or another the plans will conform to the ZC. Commissioner Eagar asked the same question. Mr. Tavasci noted that the reason for the elevator going to the roof deck was to create access for anyone. Barbara Barton asked if the public would have to comment on each of the applications.

Specifically, the applicant proposes to construct a 4' -10" by 11' -10" elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by 5' -6 "; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted. ❑ The subject property is described as 202 10th Street; since this lot will be created by a reversion to the original subdivision boundaries, an Assessor's Parcel Number has not yet been assigned to this particular lot. This lot is located in what is generally referred to as "Old Town." ❑ The subject property will be rectangular in shape with a lot area of 2,938 square feet. The property will have 25 feet of street frontage and will be 117.50 feet in depth. ❑ The surrounding land uses and zoning are as follows: NORTH, SOUTH, Single and Multiple family dwellings located in the EAST & WEST Residential High Density zone (RHD). ❑ The Planning Commission has approved Height Variances of a similar nature in 2007 at 231, 233, and 235 15th Street (HV 07 -2, HV 07 -3, HV 07-4). ❑ As of May 13, 2009, staff has received no comments, written or otherwise, in response to the hearing notices that were mailed and published for the proposed project HV 09 -5. • ! On April 15, 2009, Mr. Robert Tavasci submitted an application for Height Variation 09- 5. The proposed project would allow for the construction of a non - habitable architectural feature in excess of the 25 -foot height limit. Specifically, the applicant proposes to construct a 4' -10" by 11' -10" elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by 5' -6 "; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted. The proposed non - habitable architectural feature complies with the provisions of §28- 2317(D) of the Code of the City of Seal Beach. HV 09 -5 202 1 0th Street PC Staff Report 2 Heigh► Variation 09 -5 202 1dh Street Planning Commission Staff Report May 20, 2009 This request for Height Variation 09 -5 is in conjunction with a redevelopment of the existing property and a reversion to the original subdivision lines, creating two individual lots from the existing lot. The proposed new single family dwelling. will comprise approximately 3,005 square feet with an attached 400 square foot 2 -car garage and consist of a basement, two above -grade levels, and a roof deck. The applicant is proposing to provide an elevator in the new residence and wishes to have elevator access to the roof deck. DISCUSSION In general the Code of the City of Seal Beach, (Code) states that no building or structure shall exceed the height limit for the district and zone in which it is located. However, Section 28- 2317(D) provides for height variations for non - habitable architectural features. Specifically, Section 28- 2317(D)(1) states: "Scope: Non - habitable architectural features, such as spires, towers, cupolas, belfries, monuments, parapets (not required by Uniform Building Code), domes and covered stairwells to open roof decks may exceed the height limit established for the district in which such structure is located to a maximum of seven feet (7) if granted pursuant to the procedures contained in this section." The height limit for structures on the subject property which is located in the Residential High Density zone, RHD, of Planning District 1 is 25 feet. The maximum height elevation of the proposed elevator enclosure is approximately 5' -6" feet beyond the 25 foot height limit, for a total building height of 30' -6" at the top of the elevator enclosure. The proposed height of the elevator enclosure is within the 7 -foot allowance provided for a non - habitable architectural feature under Section 28- 2317(D). In addition to the overall height requirement previously discussed, the Planning Commission, in reviewing an application for a Height Variation, shall consider criteria set forth in Section 28- 2317(D)(2) and make findings pursuant to said review. Said criteria is stated in Section 28- 2317(D)(2)(c) as follows: "(1). . . In reviewing an application, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria and make findings thereon: (a) Whether such variation is appropriate for the architectural style of the building. (i) Whether all roofing materials of a covered stairwell to an open roof deck are in substantial conformity with the roofing materials of the remainder of the structure. (ii) Whether a covered stairwell to an open roof deck is located along peripheral exterior walls of the structure. HV 09 -5 202 1 0th Street PC Staff Report Heigm Variation 09 -5 202 10"' Street Planning Commission Staff Report May 20, 2009 (iii) Whether a covered stairwell to an open roof deck is limited to the minimum area, both horizontally and vertically, necessary to cover the stairwell. (b) Whether such variation is appropriate for the character and integrity of the neighborhood. (c) Whether such variation significantly impairs the primary view from any property located within 300 feet. (d) Detailed and complete plans for the proposed work." Architectural Style: Roofing, Location and Size In considering an application for a Height Variation, the Planning Commission may take into consideration the architectural style of the non - habitable architectural feature as it applies to the style of the overall structure. The materials used in this construction will be in substantial conformity with the materials used in the construction of the rest of the house. This proposal will be in substantial compliance with the character of the new construction of this particular house. The proposed elevator enclosure will have similar treatments and roofing materials as the new home and is proposed to be partially exposed on two sides. Staff prefers that the enclosure be partially exposed on all three sides and that the window opening the west side of the enclosure and the 'stuccoed lattice' treatment on the south side of the enclosure be opened up as much as possible to soften the impact of the structure and increase visibility through the structure. The Height Variation approval process is generally seen in the Old Town and Surfside areas of the City. The Code permits what the applicant is proposing, subject to the finding that the proposal is consistent with the integrity of the neighborhood. If the Planning Commission were to find that this proposal was not significantly in keeping with the character of the neighborhood, this application could be denied. The third factor of architectural review is whether or not the proposed projection will in any way impair the primary view of any neighboring resident. The application is within the City Council adopted Policy Statement of 1991 (Attached for review). The maximum allowable square footages under that Policy Statement are between 38 and 62.25 square feet for a covered roof access stairway. The proposed elevator enclosure does not need to comply with the requirements for a covered roof access stairway. The proposed elevator enclosure comprises approximately 57 square feet (total footprint including roof structure) and is located towards the center of the structure, with the roofline being flush with the south building wall and the walls of the elevator enclosure approximately 32' set back from the front of the building, 7' -3" from the north building wall, and approximately 65' from the rear building wall. Staff believes that the elevator enclosure, as revised, meets the intent of the Code and provides the minimum square footage necessary to enclose the elevator car and shaft, HV 09 -5 202 1 0th Street PC Staff Report - 4 Heigrn Variation 09 -5 202 10" Street Planning Commission Staff Report May 20, 2009 while the roof overhang provides necessary protection from the elements for the elevator shaft and door opening. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission, after considering all written and oral testimony presented during the public hearing on Height Variation 09 -5, conditionally approve this request. Staff's recommendation is based on the following: ❑ Height Variation 09 -5, as revised, is consistent with the provisions of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, which provides a "High Density Residential" designation for the subject property and permits single and multiple family residential uses. The use, as revised, is also consistent with the remaining elements of the City's General Plan as the policies of those elements are consistent with, and reflected in, the Land Use Element. Accordingly, the proposed use, as conditioned, is consistent with the General Plan. ❑ The proposed non - habitable architectural feature, as revised, is architecturally in keeping with the remainder of the structure, with the roof pitch, roofing materials and siding architecturally compatible with that of the remainder of the structure. ❑ The proposed elevator enclosure, as revised, is appropriate for the character and integrity of the surrounding neighborhood and permissible by code. ❑ No habitable living space is provided within the structure. ❑ The proposed non - habitable architectural feature, as revised, does not significantly impair the primary view of any property located within 300 feet of the subject property. Staff recommends the following conditions of approval for Height Variation 09 -5: Height Variation 09 -5 is approved for the construction of a non - habitable architectural feature for an approximately 57 square foot elevator enclosure (total footprint including roof structure) up to 5' -6" feet in excess of the 25 -foot height limit at 202 10th' Street, Seal Beach. 2. All construction shall be in substantial compliance with the plans approved through HV 09 -5, with the exception that the window opening on the west side of the enclosure structure and the 'stuccoed lattice' feature on the south side of the HV 09 -5 202 1 0th Street PC Staff Report Height Variation 09 -5 202 10th Street Planning Commission Staff Report May 20, 2009 enclosure structure be opened up as much as possible to soften the impact of the structure and increase visibility through the structure. 3. There shall be no habitable space permitted within the architectural feature 4. This Height Variation shall not become effective for any purpose unless an "Acceptance of Conditions" form has been signed by the applicant in the presence of the Director of Development Services, or notarized and returned to the Planning Department; and until the ten (10) day appeal period has elapsed. 5.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: Section 1. On April 15, 2009, Mr. Robert Tavasci submitted an application for Height Variation 09 -5. The proposed project would allow for the construction of a non - habitable architectural feature in excess of the 25 -foot height limit. Specifically, the applicant proposes to construct a 4' -10" by 11' -10" elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by 5' -6 "; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted. Section 2. Pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. § 15025(a) and § II.A of the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, staff has determined as follows: The application for Height Variation No. 09 -5 is categorically exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. § 15303(e) (New Construction of Small Structures), because the application is for the construction of -an accessory structure in conjunction with a new single family dwelling in an urbanized area; § 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) because the request is for a minor alteration in land use limitations in an area with an average slope of less than 20% and no changes in land use or density are involved. Section 3. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on May 20, 2009 to consider Height Variation 09 -5. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission received into the record all evidence and testimony provided on this matter. Section 4. The record of the hearing indicates the following: HV 09 -5 202 10th Street PC Staff Report Heig►IL Variation 09 -5 202 100 Street Planning Commission Staff Report May 20, 2009 (a) On April 15, 2009, Mr. Robert Tavasci submitted an application for Height Variation 09 -5. (b) The Applicant is requesting to construct a 4' -10" by 1.1' -10" elevator enclosure to exceed the height limit by Y -6" at 202 10th Street; 7 feet is the maximum height variation permitted. (c) The subject property is described as 202 10th Street, Seal Beach, California. Since this lot will be created by a reversion to the original subdivision boundaries, an Assessor's Parcel Number has not yet been assigned to this particular lot. The subject property is located in the Residential High Density (RHD) zone, in an area generally referred to as "Old Town" (d) The subject property will be rectangular in shape with a lot area of 2,938 square feet. The property will have 25 feet of street frontage and will be 117.50 feet in depth. (e) The surrounding land uses and zoning are as follows: NORTH, SOUTH, Single and multiple family dwellings located in the EAST, & WEST Residential High Density zone (RHD). (f) The proposed elevator enclosure will have similar roof lines, roofing material, and siding that is architecturally compatible with the new home. (g) The proposed elevator enclosure comprises approximately 57 square feet (total footprint including roof structure) and is located towards the center of the structure, with the roofline being flush with the south building wall and the walls of the elevator enclosure approximately 32' set back from the front of the building, T -3" from the north building wall, and approximately 65' from the rear building wall. Section 5. Based upon the evidence in the record, including the facts stated in §4 of this resolution and pursuant to §28- 2317(D) of the City's Code, the Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) Height Variation 09 -5, as conditioned, is consistent with the provisions of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, which provides a "High Density Residential" designation for the subject property and permits single and multiple family residential uses. The use is also consistent with the remaining elements of the City's General Plan as the policies of those elements are consistent with, and reflected in, the Land Use Element. Accordingly, the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan. (b) The proposed non - habitable architectural feature, as conditioned, is architecturally in keeping with the remainder of the structure, with the roof pitch, HV 09 -5 202 1 0th Street PC Staff Report 10 Height Variation 09 -5 202 10th Street Planning Commission Staff Report May 20, 2009 roofing materials and siding architecturally compatible with that of the remainder of the structure. (c) The proposed non - habitable architectural feature, as conditioned, is appropriate for the character and integrity of the surrounding neighborhood. (d) No habitable living space is provided within the structure. (e) The proposed non - habitable architectural feature, as .conditioned, does not significantly impair the primary view of any property located within 300 feet of the subject property. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves Height Variation 09 -5, subject to the following conditions: 1. Height Variation 09 -5 is approved for the construction of a non - habitable architectural feature for an approximately 57 square foot elevator enclosure (total footprint including roof structure) up to 5' -6" feet in excess of the 25 -foot height limit at 202 10th Street, Seal Beach. 2. All construction shall be in substantial compliance with the plans approved through HV 09 -5, with partial openings of the exterior walls of the elevator enclosure as large as possible to soften the impact of the structure and provide maximum visibility through the structure. 3. There shall be no habitable space permitted within the architectural feature. 4. This Height Variation shall not become effective for any purpose unless an "Acceptance of Conditions" form has been signed by the applicant in the presence of the Director of Development Services, or notarized and returned to the Planning Department; and until the ten (10) day appeal period has elapsed. 5. The applicant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, agents and employees (collectively "the City" hereinafter) from any and all claims and losses whatsoever occurring or resulting to any and all persons, firms, or corporations furnishing or supplying work, services, materials, or supplies in connection with the performance of the use permitted hereby or the exercise of the rights granted herein, and any and all claims, lawsuits or actions arising from the granting of or the exercise of the rights permitted by this Height Variation, and from any and all claims and losses occurring or resulting to any person, firm, corporation or property for damage, injury or death arising out of or connected with the performance of the use permitted hereby.

We object to this proposal. We wish to point out that Measure Z was passed with 73% as respects height limits here in Old Town. We wish to remind the Planning Commission of this fact and ask them to follow the overwhelming wishes of the citizens of Seal Beach. We are going to be in a hotel at LAX because Jerri is leaving for New Orleans at 8:00 AM on the 21st and she is a night person and would not make her flight otherwise we would attend attend the meeting to protest in person. While she is there she plans to count the number of sites with liquor licenses on Bourbon Street to see if her assumption that the licenses in Seal Beach exceed in number those on Bourbon Street. She will report her findings.

Seal Beach's Measure Z passed with a 73% majority vote citywide expressing the desire of this city and its residents to keep buildings in Old Town to a height of 25 feet. The covered roof access structures and other variances known as "doghouses" not only exceed this limit but also block views and light of nearby residents. They needlessly cause hard feelings between neighbors and are unnecessary. I am particularly concerned about this project as I have lived in Old Town for forty years and own a six -unit apartment building at 130 11th Street which is within the codes. Thank you for upholding the desires of the Seal Beach community.

We wish to express our opposition to this request and urge that the Planning Commission deny it. With nearly 75% of the vote in the recent city -wide balloting supporting a height limitation, we see no justification for an exception to that ordinance. Sincerely, William J. McNally Beverlee G.

We are specifically appealing to you NOT to grant a variance for yet another 'doghouse'. We are greatly concerned because it is up to you to preserve our coastline here in Seal Beach. Codes are written for a reason and ESPECIALLY for maintaining our view of the coast. Once you let one person build something out of code the coast is ruined for every other person and all future generations in Seal Beach. Measure Z let the people of Seal Beach speak. The people's choice is clear, NO structures over the 25 foot limit. Please save our city and do not permit one person the ability to ruin our coast for all others.

Although I may be unable to be present at the above meeting, I would like to advise you of my opposition to allowing any new buildings over 25 feet in height.
