Re:275 Beach Avenue Utilities Request
Mr.Holmes,
Staff has reviewed your request for the City W formally review and recognize the number of units an
your property at 275 Beach Avenue for the purposes of allowing utility meters for each unit.Staff has
reviewed the property records maintained by the 0u1a1 County property Appraiser's Office and
construction drawings related to the detached 2-story structure closest to Beach Avenue.While,zoning
currently prohibits 3 units at this address that would result from the primary house and a detached
duplex,it is clear that the detached structure was built as two units and Is currently recognized that was
for tax purposes.For whatever reason,only one utility meter was provided for this duplex structure at
the time of construction despite the existence of two complete and Independent living units.
It Is based on this Information that the City will now formally recognize the legal existence of 3 units at
the address of 275 Beach Avenue.The three units are comprised of a single family ocean front home
and a detached duplex structure near Beach Avenue.It H Important to note that because this would not
be allowed under current turning,the duplex Structure Is considered as a nonconforming Structure.This
means that if the units were ever combined or the building was demolished that two units could not be
built again.
The main house Is currently addressed!275 Beach Avenue and the duplex Is 277 Beach Avenue, The City
will send out notification to the appropriate authorities readdressing the duplex as 277A and 2778
Beach Avenue.The Ont floor unit will be 277A and the second floor unit will be 2778.
