A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE
CITY APPROVING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSIONS
DECISION UPON DENYING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 89 -980 TO ALLOW
A TEN (10) FOOT WIDE DRIVEWAY IN LIEU OF THE REQUIRED
SIXTEEN (16) FOOT WIDTH AT 4816 HALLOWELL
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Based upon a public hearing to consider the
Appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a Zone Variance to
allow a ten (10) foot wide driveway in lieu of the required
sixteen (16) foot width, the City Council finds:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circum-
stances or conditions applicable to the property in-
volved or to the intended use of such property which do
not generally apply to other properties in the same zone
in that the subject lot is currently improved with a
single family dwelling which precludes providing the
minimum size driveway width and obstructs the possibil-
ity of improving the subject lot; and
2 That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by
other property similarly situated which is denied to the
property in question in that a number of other similar
lots have been improved with a second dwelling unit with
comparable driveway access; in particular the Planning
Commission granted a similar variance for property at
4815 Hallowell and 9050 Acaso Drive.
3. That the granting of the variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
adjacent property in that the reduced driveway width
should not impact traffic on the street or vehicular
access.
4. That there are special circumstances as provided in
Section 65906 of the California Government Code in that
the subject lot is 50 feet wide rather than the minimum
required 60 feet wide and is currently improved with a
single family dwelling which limits the possibility for
improving the site.
Section 2. This project has been determined to be categori-
cally exempt from environmental review in accordance with the
State CEQA Guidelines.
Section 3. Accordingly, Zone Variance No. 89 -980 is ap-
proved subject to the following conditions:
1. That development occur in substantial conformance with
the submitted development plans.

2. That all required permits will be obtained prior to
construction.
3. That the variance shall become null and void unless
permits are obtained within one (1) year of the effec-
tive date of this approval.
4. That the existing dwelling unit be repainted to match
the color of the new proposed dwelling unit.
5. That each of the two new proposed two -car garages have
automatic garage door- openers.
6. A Park Development fee of $300.00 shal be paid prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
7. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks: Maintain and match existing
curb and 1' gutter. Install 5' PCC sidewalk adjacent
to property line across full width of lot.
8. Street Trees: Coordinate specific street tree require-
ments with Park Maintenance Superintendent. Root barri-
ers are required for any tree planted within 5' of
concrete curbs or sidewalks.
9. Surface Drainage: Provide adequate drainage facilities
to accommodate all contributory drainage and surface
runoff and conduct such runoff into appropriate storm
drain facilities or into the gutter.
10. Underground Utilities: Place all utility lines under-
ground from primary service points to building on sub-
ject property. Coordinate location of undergound
conduits with Public Works Department and SCE Company.
Provide a detailed utility plan to the Public Works
Department prior to issuance of building permits showing
location of all utility lines and conduits including
sewer, gas, water, electric, telephone and cable TV.
11. Dedications: Provide necessary utility easements for
underground electrical services.
12. Permits: Permits shall be obtained prior to commence-
ment of any work in the public right -of -way. All work
in the public right -of -way shall meet Los Angeles County
Public Works Department Standards.
