According to Staff, the subject property is zoned R-1 and located in
a single family residential subdivision. The applicant wants to
expand his Bathroom intoa"spa-type bath for medical reasons and
also expand the Family Room with the addition of a wet bar. Staff
has notified the adjacent property owners but has received no
comments. Staff has also reviewed the project and is recommending,
denial because there is no land -related hardship or'unusual
circumstances to warrant the variance.
Ross Cranmer asked if this request was for a"second addition to the
residence and Mr. Hess replied in the affirmative. Glen Godfrey
inquired as to whether there was an entitlement for the first
addition and Staff said the records did not indicate an entitlement
for the previous addition.

Sam and Grace Anzalone. At the request of Mr. James, Staff
explained to the applicants the possibilities available for
expansion to the East side -of the lot and/or a Second Floor
addition. Mr. James -felt the original design would better meet the
needs of the applicants than the design suggested by Staff and would
be less noticeable to the neighbors;- however, he said he was
certainly amenable to pursue these,possibilities.
There was no one else present to speak for or against the -project so
the Public Hearing was closed.

FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Because of the size, configuration, shape and lack of unique
topographic features of the subject property, there does not
appear to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises
involved that does not apply generally to property or class of
uses in the same'distr-ict. The parcel is rectangular in shape
and 6,000 Square -Foot in -size which is similar to other parcels
in the vicinity. _
2.. Since the. subject property can be fully developed within
regular established setbacks, such a conditional exception is
not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights.

Subject property is located at 15471 Edwards;Street (Northwest
corner of Edwards Street and McFadden Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.

Commercial Zone. 4,000 Square Feet of the building will be utilized
for commercial use and 2,000 Square Feet for office space. The
applicant will have a reciprocal driveway with property to the North
and will be on a zero property line to the West. Staff is
recommending approval with conditions.
Tom Poe said the Fire Department would like to propose
noncombustible construction without any openings because of the
proximity to existing buildings and no rear access to the proposed
building.
The Public Hearing was opened and Terence S. Clingan was present to
represent the applicants, C & H Development Company and himself.
Mr. Clingan stated they had not anticipated denial of a curb cut on
Edwards Street. He further stated the Board was requiring a
reciprocal parking and driveway easement between the properties.
The easement has been drafted but we do not know if the adjacent
property owner will sign it since it will require expending money
for landscaping and improvements on his property for our benefit.
Mr. Clingan said, furthermore, even if the driveway easement was
required, he did not understand the requirement for the parking
easement.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the

Staff stated there is currently a new car lot on this property and a
used car lot on the adjacent property to the North. The applicant
is requesting permission to construct a display area in front of the
show room and to convert an existing detail bay area to a service
bay area. This will necessitate additional landscaping on the
site. Staff is recommending approval of the project with conditions
- one of which is painting the curb "red" for a distance of eighty
feet (801) North of the Beach Boulevard driveway entrance because of
traffic congestion.
Daryl Smith interjected the thought that this condition would fall
under the jurisdiction of CalTrans rather than the Board of Zoning
Adjustments and that the City Traffic Department should pursue such
action if deemed by the Board to be advisable.
The Public Hearing was opened and John Califf was present to
represent the applicant. Mr. Califf expressed concern about
consolidation of the parcels. The Staff member and Glen Godfrey
explained a parcel map would be required unless the applicant could
show proof the lots were created prior to 1958. Mr. Califf also

having Staff pursue permission from CalTrans to require it. Daryl
Smith explained the necessity for eventually eliminating all parking

the Public Hearing was closed.
