SUBJ:?CT; Variance from Beach Front Moratorium ca~,z;~ 3.3 ~;~
Sand & Sea Club, 415 Pacifie Caast Highc~~ay ~
INTRODUCTI Osd
This is a staff report recomn~nding that a Variance ba granted
in the beach front maratorium area.
BAC?~CROT7~ID
On September r+, 1975 the City Council imposed a construction
maratori_um in the beach Front area prohibiting new construction
or repairs in excess of $5000 without specific approval by the.
Council. The Sand & Sea Club at 415 Pacific Coast Highway has
applied for a permit for $8000 of remodeling work involving
construction of two additional cabanas, addition of two restroom
facilities and replacement of an a°~ning.
ALTERL~IATIVES
Section 5 of the Maratorium Ordinance provides that the City
Council may grant a Variance from the provisions of the Ordinance
upon a finding of hardship, exceptional circumstances or absence
of any detrimental effect to the public welfare. The City Council
~/
TO: mayor and City Council - 2 - January 19, 1976
therefore has the alternative of granting approval of this
variance where such findings can be sho=.~rn.
POLICY I~`~,~LSCt?T1.0~?
As th:i_s property is already substantially developed and the
project work is not directly involved in the "beach front"
plan; staff does not foresee any negative policy implications
fro.n granting a va-ri~ance for this minor remodeling project.
RECOi~E~IO.~TION
Staff recon~:-~ends approval of this variance raga--ast by Council
on a :i'i.nding of no detrimental effect on t'ne public welfare..
