ITEM 3: VARIANCE NO.97-26 (OCEAN COLONY SITE COVERAGE VARIANCE)

100, Santa Monica, CA 90401
PROPERTY OWNER: Ocean Colony, LLC, 520 Broadway, Suite 100, Santa Monica, CA
90401
REQUEST: To exceed the site coverage requirement (up to 52% in lieu of
maximum 50%) on seven (7) lots for the construction of second
story decks.
LOCATION: Lots 3, 6, 7, 11, 13, 19, and 22, of Tract 14135 (Ocean Colony,
terminus of Palm Avenue, west side of Seapoint Avenue)
PROJECT PLANNER: Wayne Carvalho
Wayne Carvalho, Staff Planner, displayed site plan and floor plan, stating the request is to
exceed the site coverage requirement (up to 52% in lieu of maximum 50%) on seven (7) lots for
the construction of second story decks in Tract 15135. Staff stated that one (1) phone call had
been received regarding blockage of views. Staff explained that the decks would not be visible
for the neighboring homes and the caller was satisfied.
Staff is recommending approval of the proposed request as the proposed lot coverage pertains
only to the second story balconies which will be required to remain open and will not increase
the dwelling area proposed for the seven (7) home. The majority of the seven (7) single family
homes are on lots less than 5,000 square feet in size, which constrains the design of the units
including architectural enhancements such as the open decks. The design of the decks is in
keeping with the surrounding residential developments and the variance will not allow for
additional enclosed floor area to the units.
ZA Minutes — 3/4/98 7 (98=0304)
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Desmond Bunting, 520 Broadway, #100, Santa Monica, representing applicant stated that he
concurred with staff s report and recommendation.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
VARIANCE NO.97-26 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH
THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. HE STATED
THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE
APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR
DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.97-26:
1. The granting of Variance No. 97-26 to permit up to a 52% site coverage for the construction
of second story decks on seven single family residences (Lots 3, 6, 7, 11, 13, 19, and 22, of
Tract 14135) in lieu of a maximum 50% will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone
classification. The proposed increased lot coverage pertains only to the second story
balconies which will be required to remain open and will not increase the dwelling area
proposed for the seven homes.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and
under identical zone classification. The majority of the seven single family homes are on lots
less than 5,000 square feet in size, which constrains the design of the units including
architectural enhancements such as the open decks.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the. enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The variance will provide a covered patio on the ground floor and an open
balcony area on the second floor which will allow homeowners recreational opportunities in
their rear yards which face the Bolsa Chica and Pacific Ocean.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property in the same zone classification. The proposed second story decks will
enhance the architecture of the single family residential development, specifically the rear
elevations .to the "Plan Three" units. The design of the decks is in keeping with the
surrounding residential developments. The variance will not allow for additional enclosed
floor area to the units.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with
the Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property. The
decks will provide highly articulated facades, enhancing the appearance of the rear elevations
to the residences, while maintaining compatibility with the other units in the development.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.97-26:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated February 17, 1998 shall be the
conceptually approved layout.
ZA Minutes — 3/4/98 8 (98zm0304)

3. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall record a covenant on each of the
seven lots restricting the enclosure of the first or second floor deck areas without obtaining
proper City approval. A copy of the legal instrument shall be submitted to the Department of
Community Development and reviewed as to form by the City Attorney, and when approved,
shall be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder. A copy of the recorded document
shall be filed with the Department of Community Development.
4. All building spoils, such as unusable lumber, wire, pipe, and other surplus or unusable
material, shall be disposed of at an off -site facility equipped to handle them.
5. All applicable conditions on Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 97-9, General Plan
Amendment No. 96-3, Tentative Tract Map No. 14135, Conditional Use Permit No. 96-27

reviewed and approved the proposed changes for conformance with the intent of the Zoning
Administrator's action and the conditions herein. If the proposed changes are of a substantial
nature, an amendment to the original entitlement reviewed by the Zoning Administrator may
be required pursuant to the HBZSO.
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Variance No. 97-26 shall not become effective until the ten day appeal period has elapsed.
2. Variance No. 97-26 shall become null and void unless exercised within one year of the date
of final approval or such extension of time as may be granted by the Director pursuant to a
written request submitted to the Department of Community Development a minimum 30
