SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of a Conditional
Use Permit to Allow the Construction of a Ten-Unit
Condominium at 1702 Appian Way.
Applicant: Santa Monica Hotel Associates, Ltd.
Appellant: Sharon Gilpin
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the city Council deny the appeal and
uphold the Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit
90~084 to allow the construction of a two-story, ten-unit
condominium with a 24-space subterranean parking garage at 1702
Appian Way.
At the Planning Commission meeting of March 25/
1992, the Commission approved the project by a vote of five in
favor and one against, with one commissioner absent. The
Planning staff recommended approval of the conditional USg
Permit. An appeal of the Planning Commission approval has been
filed.
BACKGROUND
The proposed project was originally scheduled for Planning
Comm~ssion review on January 30, 1991.
Just prior to the
Commission hearing, it was determined that the 361 tall structure
was inconsistent with the Land Use Element/Oceanfront District
height limit of 30 I.
At that time, the applicant agreed to
redesign and continue the project to a future hearing.

next few months, staff had several contacts with the applicant
regarding a redesign of the project. As stated in a letter from
the applicant dated April 11, 1991, the applicant agreed to
redesign the project as suggested by staff in order to conform to
the General Plan. On June 7, 1991, staff received a letter from
the applicant stating that he was redesigning the proj ect in
order to conform with the General Plan and would submit revised
plans in one to two weeks.
In August of 1991, the applicant met with staff and proposed a
two-story,
30'
tall,
four-unit condominium.
It was the
applicant I S intent to process the four-unit proj ect under the
original application.
Following the August meeting with the
applicant, staff reviewed the four-unit proposal with the City
Attorney's office and it was determined that the revised project
would constitute a substantial change and therefore require a new
application. The new application would be subject to Proposition
R, so the applicant would be required to provide on-site
inclusionary units.
Under the original application,
the
applicant had the option of either providing the inclusionary
units or paying an in-lieu fee.
On October 14, 1991, in spite of staff's direction, the applicant
submitted a letter to staff stating that the applicant intended
to pursue the original project as submitted and requesting that
the item be set for planning Commission hearing. On January 8,
1992, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed 3-story, 12-
unit design, and based on the fact the the project was inconsis-
tent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, directed the
..
~~ "' ..
, ')
- 2 -
applicant to redesign and return with a proposal that was consis-
tent with the Oceanfront District standards in the Land Use Ele-
ment. The Planning commission continued the item to March 25,
1992.
At the Planning Commission meeting of March 25, 1992, the Commis-
sion approved a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed ten-unit,
two-story condominium building subject to the findings and condi-
tions contained in the attached statement of Official Action (At-
tachment A). A more complete project description is contained in
the attached Planning Commission staff Report (Attachment B). In
a separate action, the Commission also approved a motion direct-
ing the Landmarks Commission to review the potential historic
significance of the two existing structures on the property,
which were built in 1922.
On April 8, 1992, Planning Commissioner Sharon Gilpin appealed
the approval of the Conditional Use Permit based on her concern
about the demolition of the two existing structures. Commis-
sioner Gilpin contends that the issue of the historic sig-
nificance should be addressed prior to the approval of the re-
placement project. There are no requirements in the City'S rules
and regulations to review the historical significance of the ex-
isting structure prior to the approval of the Conditional Use
Permit. Moreover, according to section 9048.1(d) of the Santa
Monica Municipal Code (Attachment C), no demolition of buildings
or structures built prior to 1930 shall be permitted unless the
- 3 -
demolition permit application is reviewed by the Landmarks Com-
mission and no application for landmark designation is filed
within 30 days from receipt of a complete application.
The Landmarks Commission normally reviews the potential historic
significance of a building when an applicant applies for a de-
molition permit. At this time a demolition permit has not been
filed. However, based on the Planning commission I s direction,
the Landmarks commission reviewed the buildings on August 10,
1992. The Landmarks Commission concluded that based on the ar-
chitectural quality of the buildings, they did not believe that
the buildings would merit designation as a City landmark.
However, the Commission stated that if the buildings were in-
cluded in the final results of the Phase III Historic Resources
Inventory, they would be eligible for structure of merit
designation.
Conclusion
The project is a permitted use in the proposed location and is
consistent with the R3 standards contained in the Zoning Or-
dinance. As designed, the project complies with the 301 height
limi t contained in the Oceanfront District of the Land Use and
circulation Element of the General Plan. The propo~ed two-story,
ten-unit development is similar to the original three-story,
twelve-unit proj ect in terms of building footprint and design.
The City Attorney I s office has indicated that the redesigned
project could be considered by the Planning commission under the
original application.
- 4 -
The Planning Commission approval of the project was based on the
fact that the proposed building is consistent with the standards
contained in the Zoning Ordinance for the R3 District and the
Land Use Element of the General Plan for the Oceanfront District,
and is compatible with the surrounding area. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the Council deny the appeal and uphold the
Planning commission approval of the project.
The appeal of the Planning commission approval is based on the
appellant's contention that the historic significance of the ex-
isting buildings should be determined prior to approval of the
replacement project.
Based on established City procedure for
reviewing the historic merit of an existing building, the issue
is considered at the time the applicant applies for a demolition
permit and is separate from the conditional Use Permit process.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
The recommendation presented in this report does not have any
budget or fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council deny the appeal and uphold the
Planning Commiss.ion approval of Conditional Use Permit 90-084
subject to the findings and conditions contained in the attached
Planning Commission statement of Official Action.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposed is the demolition of two residential buildings with five
units, removed from Rent Control via the Ellis Act, and the con-
struction of a two story, 30' tall, ten unit condominium building
with a 24 space subterranean parking garage accessed from Pacific
Terrace. The project would include ten flats with five units on
each floor. Eight of the ten units would be similar in design,
with two bedrooms and two bathrooms each. The two remaining
uni ts would be one bedroom units. No lofts are proposed. A
large roof deck would include a common sundeck and spa.
MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code and in
conformity with the General Plan as shown in Attachment A.
CEQA STATUS
The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA,
pursuant to Class 3 (14) of the city of Santa Monica Guidelines
for Implementation of CEQA.
RENT CONTROL STATUS
The five residential units were removed from the rental market
via the Ellis Act as of May 19, 1990.
FEES
The project is subject to a Parks and Recreation Facilities Tax
of $200 per unit and a Condominium Facilities Tax of $1,000 per
saleable unit for a total tax of $12,000. In addition, the proj-
ect is required to comply with program 12 of the Housing Element
of the General Plan as implemented by Ordinance No. 1519 (CCS),
which may be satisfied by providing affordable inclusionary hous-
ing on-site or by payment of an in-lieu fee. This fee, prior to
adjustment in accordance with changes in the CPI, will be
$218,400, based on a gross residential project area of 14,560
square feet.

of the project at least ten consecutive calendar days prior to
the hearing. A copy of the notice is contained in Attachment B.
ANALYSIS
Background
The proposed project was originally scheduled for Planning Com-
mission review on January 30, 1991. Just prior to the Commission
hearing, it was discovered that the 36' tall structure was incon-
sistent with the Land Use Element/Oceanfront District height
limit of 3D'. At that time, the applicant agreed to continue the
project to a future hearing and redesign. OVer the next few
months, staff had several contacts with the applicant regarding a
redesign of the project. As stated in the attached letter from
the applicant dated April 11, 1991 (Attachment B), the applicant
agreed to redesign the project as suggested by staff and conform
to the General Plan. On June 7, 1991, staff received a letter
from the applicant stating that he was redesigning the project in
order to conform with the General Plan and would submit revised
plans in one to two weeks (Attachment C)
In August of 1991, the applicant met with staff and proposed a
two-story, 30' tall, four-unit condominium. (Attachment D). It
was the applicant's intent to process the four-unit project under
the original application. Following the August meeting with the
applicant, staff reviewed the four-unit proposal with the City
Attorney's office and it was determined that the revised project
would constitute a substantial change and therefore require a new
application. The new application would be subject to Proposition
R, so the applicant would be required to provide on-site inclu-
sionary units. Under the original application, the applicant had
the option of either providing the inclusionary units or paying
an in-lieu fee.
On October 14, 1991, a letter was submitted to staff stating that
that it was the applicant's intent to pursue the original project
as submitted and requesting that the item be set for Planning
Commission hearing (Attachment E). On January 8, 1992, the Plan-
ning commission reviewed the proposed 3 story, 12 unit design,
and based on the fact the the project was inconsistent with the
Land Use Element of the General Plan, directed the applicant to
redesign and return with a proposal that was consistent with the
Oceanfront District standards in the Land Use Element. The Plan-
ning Commission continued the item to March 4, 1992.
Project Design
Proposed is the construction of a ten-unit condominium building
over a 24 space subterranean parking garage accessed from Pacific
Terrace. The building would be two stories, 30' in height above
an average natural grade of IS.51'. Eight of the ten flats would
contain a living room, kitchen, dining areal' two bedrooms and two
bathrooms. The remaining two units would contain a living room,
kitchen, dining area, a master bedroom and two bathrooms. A com-
mon roof deck would include a sundeck and spa.

G,., - - :1
J..... _ u
Parking and Circulation
The parking requirements for the project are based on a ratio of
two spaces for each of the ten units plus two guest spaces for a
total requirement of 22 spaces. A total of 24 spaces would be
provided in a subterranean parking garage accessed from Pacific
Terrace. Pedestrian access to the garage would be provided by a
central stairway and elevator shaft. The proj ect trash area
would also be located in the subterranean parking garage.
Neighborhood Compatibility
The proposed two-story, J 0' condominium would be located in an
area that currently contains a mix of buildings ranging in size
from two story residential buildings to the nine-story Loew IS
Santa Monica Beach Hotel. As stated above, the General Plan
designation for the area north of Pico Boulevard, between The
Promenade and Appian Way, limits building height to 30'. While
the General Plan also limits certain types of buildings in the
area to two stories, it states that hotel and residential
development heights shall be governed by permitted building
height in feet rather than by number of stories. Therefore, the
height of the proposed two-story, 30' tall building would be con-
sistent with the General Plan in terms of number of stories as
well as number of feet.
Conclusion
The project is a permitted use in the proposed location and is
consistent with the R3 standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance. As redes igned I' the proj ect compl ies with the 30 '
height limit contained in the Oceanfront District of the Land Use
and Circulation Element of the General Plan. The proposed
two-story, ten unit development is similar to the original
three-story, twelve unit project in terms of building footprint
and design. The City Attorneys office has indicated that the
redesigned project could be considered by the Planning Commission
under the original application.

al Use Permit 90-084 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 50234 sub-
