PC RES 1988-045P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 88-45
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES DENYING VARIANCE NO. 201 AND APPROVING EXTREME
SLOPE PERMIT NO. 7 AT 30023 KNOLLVIEW DRIVE.
WHEREAS, Randy E. Robinson has requested a Variance and an
Extreme Slope Permit for an existing deck over an extreme slope at
30023 Knollview Drive; and
WHEREAS, after notice pursuant to the City's Development Code
public hearings were held on June 14, and July 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 l: That such Variance is not necessary because 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 has
an extreme slope along the rear and side yards as do other
properties in the vicinity.
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 also be limited to an Extreme Slope Permit for deck
construction in an extreme slope.
Section 3: That the granting of an Extreme Slope Permit for
the deck would not result in adverse effects on neighboring
properties because the deck does not obstruct other properties
views and is so conditioned to minimize slope intrusion.
Section 4: That the granting of such Extreme Slope Permit is
consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and the Natural
and Urban Overlay Districts that limit deck encroachment into
extreme slope areas.
Section 5: That the granting of an Extreme Slope Permit is
consistent with the Development Code in that there are no other
reasonable locations to construct a deck in the rear yard
and that there will be insignificant disturbance to the slope.
Section 6: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby denies
0, i
Variance No. 201, and approves Extreme Slope Permit No. 7 subject
to the conditions contained in attached Exhibit "A". This action
has been deemed necessary to promote the public health, safety and
welfare of the area.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 9th day of August, 1988.
