A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DENYING
VARIANCE NO. 195 AT 31045/65 MARGUERITE
DRIVE.
WHEREAS, Harold Levitt and Associates have requested a
Variance to allow pools, spas, decking and a 362 square foot
addition within 25 feet of the Coastal Setback Line at 31045/65
Marguerite Drive; and
WHEREAS, after notice pursuant to the City's Development Code
public hearings were held on March 22 and April 26, 1988, 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 no exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances' or conditions that exist relative to this property
which do not apply generally to other properties in the same
district in that the property is presently vacant and said
structures can be reasonably accommodated on the site without such
encroachment.
Section 2: That such Variance is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
applicant which right is possessed by others under like
circumstances in the same zoning district since other properties
would be limited to the same restrictions and setback
requirements.
Section 3: That the granting of such a Variance would result
in adverse effects to the public welfare or the surrounding
development patterns because the structures would encroach into
areas designated for no new permanent structures and would cause
negative visual impacts along the coastline that is intended to
remain in natural open space.
Section 4: That the granting of such a Variance will be
contrary to the objectives of the General Plan and Coastal
Specific Plan that discourage development encroachment into the
bluff setback areas designated as natural vegetation to protect
the coastline.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning
Commission of—the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby denies
Variance No. 195.
APPROVED aud`ADOPTED this 26th dap of April, 1988.
