A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR THE
ENCROACHMENT INTO AN INSTITUTIONAL ZONE REAR SET-
BACK
WHEREAS, the Palos Verdes Community Arts Association has requested a
variance for the construction of a trellis patio cover in an institutional zone; and
WHEREAS, after notice pursuant to the provisions of the City's Development
Code, a public hearing was held on December 13, 1977, at which time all interested
parties were given an 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: That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances 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 in that
there is no other practicable method for expansion on the subject site because of lot
configuration, slope characteristics and existing easements.
Section 2: That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoy-
ment of a substantial property right of the applicant, which right is possessed by
other property owners under like conditions in the same zoning district since strict
application of the Development Code deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed
by other property in the vicinity which is also located in the same zone.
Section 3: That the granting of the variance will not be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area in
which the property is located. Given this circumstance, the --subject improvement will
not in any way impact properties located upslope or adjacent to the subject site.
Section 4. That the granting of such a variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the General Plan.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the City
of Rancho Palos Verdes does hereby grant to the Palos Verdes Community Arts
Association a zoning variation to encroach into the rear setback for said usage.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 21st day of December 1977.
