Hillside Overlay Flags

What is the Hillside Overlay Ordinance in the Hollywood Riviera?

By Keith Kyle

A few of the many benefits of living near the beach are the wonderful ocean views and ocean breezes that make life here so unique.  These ocean views have immeasurable value from both a quality of life aspect as well as a significant monetary impact.  In many of the South Bay cities these views are unprotected and it’s not rare for a home’s stunning ocean views to disappear when the one story home next door gets torn down and new and much larger home replaces it.

Certain areas of Torrance are the exception. Primarily found in the Hollywood Riviera and Seaside Ranchos neighborhoods the city has incorporated much stricter building guidelines known as the “Hillside Overlay” area.  (see map below)

From the Torrance city website:  In 1977, the Hillside Overlay Area was established in Torrance, CA in order to address issues concerning building, remodeling, and protecting views and privacy.  All new construction (meaning both new homes and expansions on current structures) are subject to review and input by neighbors including “flagging”  where a mock up of the future structure are marked with plastic flags  to approximate the outlines of any proposed addition to the structure prior to permit approval so that neighborhood input may be obtained.

Torrance Municipal Code Excerpt (Hillside Overlay)

The basics of the hillside overlay are as follows:  Upon receipt of the complete application, the Community Development Director shall set a date, time and place for a public hearing thereon as soon as practicable and shall send notice thereof to the owners of land included within a three hundred (300) foot radius of the exterior boundaries of the land for which the permit is sought

No construction and no remodeling or enlargement of a building or structure shall be permitted unless the Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) shall find that the location and size of the building or structure, or the location and size of the remodeled or enlarged portions of the building or structure, have been planned and designed in such a manner as to comply with the following provisions:

a) The proposed development will not have an adverse impact upon the view, light, air and privacy of other properties in the vicinity;
b) The development has been located, planned and designed so as to cause the least intrusion on the views, light, air and privacy of other properties in the vicinity;
c) The design provides an orderly and attractive development in harmony with other properties in the vicinity;
d) The design will not have a harmful impact upon the land values and investment of other properties in the vicinity;
e) Granting such application would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare and to other properties in the vicinity;
f) The proposed development will not cause or result in an adverse cumulative impact on other properties in the vicinity.

Big Home Sale in the Golden Hills – 1107 Goodman

1107 Goodman in the Golden Hills of Redondo Beach

One of the recent sales that represented a very big number for North Redondo and the Golden Hills was the sale at 1107 Goodman.  Listed for $1,890,000 the home quickly sold at full price after just 5 days on the market.  Sitting on an oversized, 5,215 foot, lot (more than double the normal lot in the area) this was brand new construction and something very hard to duplicate in this neighborhood.  Listed by Aaron Klapper of Strand Hill Christies International this was definitely a trophy house.  Per the listing description:
Welcome to this spectacular, brand new contemporary craftsman home in the heart of Golden Hills. The living room invites you in with soaring ceilings, lots of windows, and the first of three stunning stack-stone fireplaces. The open concept leads to the formal dining area, perfect for warmly entertaining family and friends. There’s an elegant powder room, and guest suite with built-in closet cabinetry and en-suite bathroom. Moving towards the rear of the home, the stylish kitchen has a large center island with quartz counter-tops, prep sink, and drawer microwave. The deep stainless steel farmhouse sink, soft close drawers, Thermador six burner stove and hood, butler’s pantry, walk-in pantry, and breakfast nook lend to this kitchen being as functional as it is chic. The comfortable family room with fireplace has large sliding glass doors that effortlessly lead to the peaceful back yard, creating that indoor/outdoor lifestyle you crave. Head upstairs to find the serene master suite with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, multiple closets, and large sunny balcony. The luxurious master bathroom has a contemporary soaking tub, large rain shower, and skylight. There are three other bedrooms upstairs, two sharing a jack-and-jill bathroom, and the other with en-suite bathroom and balcony. Other fabulous features include high ceilings, recessed LED lighting, European white oak engineered wood floors, quartz counter-tops, 8 foot doors, and of course, sought-after Jefferson school district.
