BY DELETING CHAPTER 28, ZONING, IN ITS
ENTIRETY AND ADOPTING A NEW TITLE 11,
ZONING
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1 . The City held a total of twelve Community Information
Meetings regarding the proposed "Seal Beach Municipal Code Draft Title 11: Zoning,
February 2010" between March 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010 at which approximately
100 persons attended.
Section 2 . A joint City Council and Planning Commission Study Session
was conducted on April 12, 2010 where additional City Council, Planning Commission,
and public comments were received, and where staff was directed to proceed with the
appropriate public hearings to consider the proposed "Seal Beach Municipal Code Draft
Title 11: Zoning, February 2010."
Section 3 . Pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. § 15305, staff has
prepared Initial Study /Negative Declaration 2010 -1 evaluating the environmental
impacts of the proposed "Seal Beach Municipal Code Draft Title 11: Zoning, February
2010." The Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration 2010 -1 was circulated for public
comment starting on April 15, 2010 and ending on May 17, 2010. The Notice of Intent
to Adopt was published and contained the dates and times of the Planning Commission

Section 4 . A noticed public hearing was held by the Planning
Commission on May 5, 2010 to consider the proposed "Seal Beach Municipal Code
Draft Title 11: Zoning, February 2010 ".
Section 5 . At said public hearing there was oral and written testimony
and evidence received by the Planning Commission.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 10 -22
Amending the Seal Beach Municipal Code by
Deleting Chapter 28, Zoning, In Its Entirety and
Adopting A New Title 11, Zoning
May 5, 2010
intended to reflect the most appropriate and best available development regulations and
standards to meet the desires of the community regarding future development within the
City. Such a comprehensive revision effort has not been undertaken within the
community since 1974. As such, there are significant changes from both procedural
and development regulation standards incorporated into the proposed Zoning Code that
do not currently exist in the present Zoning Code.
(b) The proposed Title 11, Zoning, does not change
standards for basic lot size, density and building intensity, setback, lot coverage, height,
parking, and sign regulations of the current zoning Code. There are minor changes to
allowable and discretionary land uses within the City, such as news stands, kiosks,
artist's studios, catering services, and handicraft/custom manufacturing uses. New
provisions related to a number of mass and bulk related issues are proposed, such as
porches, additional building stepbacks for structures more than 14 feet high, use of
compatible material and design elements for building additions, and other design and
aesthetic matters of concern to the City.
(c) An "Administrative Use Permit' approval process is
proposed which would allow the Director of Development Services to review and
approve several types of discretionary land use approvals that are currently reviewed
and approved by the Planning Commission.
(d) Based on the public testimony received, and
additional recommendation from the Commission and City staff, additional revisions are
determined to be appropriate to proposed "Seal Beach Municipal Code Draft Title 11:
Zoning, February 2010," and are set forth in "Exhibit A" attached hereto.
(e) Said proposed "Seal Beach Municipal Code Draft Title
11: Zoning, February 2010," and the recommended additional revisions set forth in "Exhibit
A" are consistent with the adopted General Plan of the City.
Section 7 . Based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby
recommends adoption of Title 11: Zoning to the City Council as set forth in "Seal Beach
Municipal Code Draft Title 11: Zoning, February 2010" and on file in the Office of the
City Clerk, with recommended revisions as indicated on "Exhibit A ", attached hereto and
made a part hereof.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Seal
Beach at a meeting thereof held on the 5 th day of May 2010 by the following vote:
