PC RES 1989-030P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 89-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. 232 FOR A 49% REDUCTION IN LOT WIDTH FOR
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 20547 AT 46
ROCKINGHORSE ROAD.
WHEREAS, Roy E. ,Tones has requested a Variance for reduced
lot width in conjunction with a tentative parcel map application
to subdivide a 1.03 acre parcel into two lots; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes held public hearings on May 9 and May 23, 1989 and 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 exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved,
which do not apply generally to other property in the same zoning
district, due to the location of the existing buildable areas and
the existing lot width of only 133 feet.
Section 2: That such 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 conditions in the same zoning district since the majority of
the original one acre lots have been split by grant deed into half
acre parcels with similar flag lot configurations.
Section 3: That the granting of the variance will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
property and improvements in the area in which property is located
since the two resulting parcels will each have the minimum 3,000
square foot buildable area, a minimum 90 foot lot width in the
buildable areas of each parcel and adequate access from
Rockinghorse Road.
Section 4: That the granting of such a variance will not be
contrary to the objectives of the general plan since the intended
use of the property is consistent with the intended use expressed
in the general plan (low density residential).
Section 5: For the following reasons, the Planning Commission
of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Variance No.
232.
