A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 6884, VARIANCE NO. 7, AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 15, FOR A SEW- AGE PUMPING PLANT. WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map No. 6884 has been filed, which would split an existing parcel of 41.77 gross acres into two parcels, one of 41.68 gross acres, and the other of approximately 4,300 square feet (0.1 net acre), said parcel being legally de- scribed as: (Legal Description: See Exhibit "B") WHEREAS, Variance No. 7 has been filed, which would allow a division of land which creates a lot of less than the minimum size of one acre; and WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit No. 15 has been filed, which would allow the construction of a replacement sewage pumping plant in a RS -1 District; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the Planning Commission reviewed the tentative parcel map at a public meeting on July 27, 1976; and WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, a public hearing on the conditional use permit and variance was held before the Plan- ning Commission on July 27, 1976, at which time all interested par- ties were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence, NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. In approving Variance No. 7, the Rancho Palos Verdes Planning Commission finds as follows: a. That there are exceptional or extraordinary cir- cumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, which do not apply generally to other property in the same zoning district, since a larger par- cel is not needed for this governmental facility and would remove additional land from the tax rolls. b. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant, which right is possessed by other property owners under like condi- tions in the same zoning district. This is a relocation of an un- usual but necessary facility. c. That the granting of a variance for this property will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injur- ious to property and improvements in the area in which the property is located. Ambient noise levels and odors will be contained within the building; it is served by a major highway and will not result in an increase of vehicular traffic. The use will not in- duce growth, but will insure the continued level of public health, safety, and welfare. d. That the granting of such a variance for this property will not be contrary to the objectives of the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan. Section 2. In approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 6884, the Rancho Palos Verdes Planning Commission finds as follows: a. That Tentative Parcel Map No. 6884 does not vio- late the standards for tentative subdivision maps, as contained in Section 91012(A) of the Rancho Palos Verdes Subdivision Ordinance. b. That Tentative Parcel Map No. 6884 is in compli- ance with the Development Code of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Section 3. In granting Conditional Use Permit No. 15, the Rancho Palos Verdes Planning Commission finds as follows: a. That the proposed use is permitted in the Dis- trict, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. b. That the site, consisting of 4,300 square feet, is adequate in both size and shape to accommodate the proposed use. c. That the site is served by a major arterial, Palos Verdes Drive South, which is properly designed by carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the existing use; and the proposed use is not expected to generate significant addi- tional traffic. d. That there will be no significant adverse effect on adjacent property, or the permitted use thereof, as the proposed use incorporates adequate setbacks, landscaping, and noise and odor control. e. That the use is not contrary to the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan. Section 4. For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Com- mission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants approval of Variance No. 7, Tentative Parcel Map No. 6884, and Conditional Use Permit No. 15, subject to the conditions and restrictions marked "Exhibit A", which are necessary to protect and preserve the health, safety, and general welfare in the area.
