RESOLUTION P.C. NO. 82-26
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DENYING VARIANCE NO. 81
WHEREAS, Variance No. 81 has been filed which requests approval to divide
an existing 77,362.56 square foot parcel into one standard and one substandard
lot: 47,916.00 square feet and 29,010.96 square feet respectively (Tentative
Parcel Map No. 15258) ; and
WHEREAS, the vacant lot is located at the northeast corner of Palos
Verdes Drive South and Forrestal Drive, which is in a RS-1 zoning district; and
WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration was granted in compliance with City and
State guidelines and the Commission has reviewed and considered the contents
of the Initial Study (Environmental Assessment No. 430) in reaching its decision;
and
WHEREAS, proper notice was made pursuant to the provisions of the City's
Development Code and hearing was held on September 28, 1982, at which time all
interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and 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 not exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
applicable to this property, or to the intended use of the property, which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district since other
sites in the same zoning district experiencing similar physical constraints
are subject to minimum lot area requirements.
Section 2: That the variance is not necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant, which is possessed
by other property owners under like conditions in the same zoning district, since
properties experiencing similar conditions are subject to and must abide by the
minimum required development standards.
Section 3: That the granting of the variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties and improvements
in the surrounding area, since there is no substantial evidence that such an
effect would occur.
Section 4: That the granting of the variance will be contrary to the
objectives of the General Plan since, due to its designated environmental constraints
(extreme/high slopes) the site is classified as low density.
Section 5:. For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby denies Variance No. 81.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 28th day of September 1982.
