I purchased this home about three years ago and at the time of purchase, the garage had been made into a bedroom with built -in bunk beds, clothes closet, cupboards, toilet and shower. We have used this room for our son's room and as the needed third bedroom. This door is completely deteriorated and needs to be replaced to make the room weatherproof and the front of the house presentable and conform to the surrounding homes in the area. 6. Discussion: Note findings 7. The Committee upon their investigation of this property found the garage converted into living quarters and the garage door sealed without a Building Permit being secured for the alter- ation. The Commission does not favor legalizing a violation such as this. It was found in this particular neighborhood that approximately six other garages had been converted into living quarters. 8.

FINDINGS: The Committee reported that in this immediate area a similar request was.denied a few years ago and further .found that in view of the existing vio- lations as set forth above, the application should be denied. 8. On motion of Commissioner Rudd, seconded by Comm. Copelin, Variance Application No. 388 was DENIED by.the following roll call vote, to wit: ALL AYES #389 1.

Property useless and nearly a total loss to the owner if he cannot use the upper half of the building. 6. DISCUSSION: The applicant was present and stated to the Commission that he purchased this building for • the purpose of utilizing two dwelling units which are located above the ground floor, now being used for commercial purposes, but dis- covered at a later date that the garages for these apartments had been closed in and were being used as a part of a restaurant which P • Page 6 VARIANCES #x,389 (don't) existed prior to the purchase. He further stated that he had been requested.by -the City Attorney not to use the apartments for dwelling purposes because of the lack of garage spaces. He complied with the instructions of the City Attorney's office but has found it impossible to rent the second floor area for professional offices or -other uses. which do not require parking spaces. 7. FINDINGS:. The Committee in their report to the Commission set forth that the double garage which was for the purpose of parking spaces for the dwelling units in this building had been e*closed some time during 1948 without a building permit. The Commission does not wish to go on record as legalizing a violation of the zoning code and further, because of the critical parking situation on Balboa Island' it was felt that the application should be denied. 8..

Nothing is requested that would not be allowed without variance if a.commercial project rather than a residential project were proposed. 6. DISCUSSION: Note findings 7. FINDINGS: The Committee stated that the proposed project for this area was desirable in view of the fact that the old jail house would be removed. This new development would be an improvement to the area. A recommendation of approval of the variance request was made subject to the con- dition that the final working plans be approved by the Architectural Control Committee. 8.

Height limit variance of 55' with ar elevator shaft approx- imately 17' above the top of the building. The new structure, with the exception of the elevator sjhaft, will not exceed the .height of the present existing struc',ture. 5. Due to the terrain of the property,it is necessary that over -all building height exceed the required ;height of 35'. DISCUSSION - #338 and #391 There were present at 100 persons protesting applications of Robert the construction of 32 on a portion of Block speaking against these Attorney, B. Z. Mc 2714 Ocean Blvd. CDM Richard Reese 1001 North Bay Fr( Balboa Island Allen C. Stelle 212 Dahlia Ave. CDM 0. W. Hudson CDM Fernleaf Ave. he hearing approximately the use permit and variance , H..Cedric and Sons for units.and a height increase , Corona del Mar. Those applications were: inney i Page .8 Use Permit #338 & Variance #381 (cant) The protestors stated, among other things, the following: 1. The proposed apartment house will either destroy or seriously impair the view of_ property owners on both - sides of streets from two blocks West of Fernleaf. along. Ocean Blvd. and Bayview to Heliotrope Avenue and on both sides of Ocean Blvd. from two blocks West of Dahlia to Heliotrope. 2. We believe the height limit of buildings was inserted in the zoning ordinance for the protection of all the people and should not be waived just because it would be to the advantage, financial or otherwise;, of some individual property owner or builder. 3. The waiving of the height limit in this matter would set a precedent along the ocean front. Other persons could or would apply for waivers and why should they not be given the same consideration. 4. The slope up Fernleaf Avenue from Bayside Drive is inadequate for the present traffic. Every teenager who owns a car seems to consider it a cha:llenge. This new building will bound to increase this. On motion of Commissioner Copelin, seconded by Comm. Reed, and carried, the hearings on these two applications were closed. - FINDINGS Under Section 9106.31 of the Zoning Ordinance, a variance request may be submitted to the Planning Commission if it is shown that there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applying to the land . which do not apply generally to the land area in the vicinity. This lot is of unusual size and shape composed of some 5+,000 square feet, bounded by buffs or cliffs on three sides. The topography and contour of the land present a difficult building problem. Under the Zoning Ordinance, which requires 17000 sq. ft. of building site area per living unit in an R -3 District, the applicant could apply for 54 units.; The proposed dwelling will have approximately 19700 sq. ft. of building site area for each unit, two parking spaces for each unit, and 19 spaces for guest parking. Under the Subdivision Ordinance,, this parcel could be legally subdivided into 10 lots with three units being permitted on each lot. rJ i Page 9 Use Permit #338 & Variance #391 (con't) After careful consideration of the oral and written evidence presented by the applicant and protestors and for the aforesaid reasons as previously set forth, the Planning Commission finds and determines that, 1. There are exceptional or extraordinary.circumstances applying to the land and proposed building which circumstances or conditions do not apply gener- ally to land or buildings in the same district. 2. The granting of the application is necessary for preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the petitioner. 3. The granting of this Use Permit and Variance Application would not adversely affect or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
