P.C . RESOLUTION NO . 89-33
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE
NO . 233 TO ALLOW A SIX FOOT HIGH BLOCK WALL AND WROUGHT
IRON GATE AND REDUCTION IN THE FRONT SETBACK REQUIREMENT
LOCATED AT 27922 LONGHILL DRIVE.
WHEREAS , Edward and Janet Hallett have requested a Variance
for a reduction in the front yard setback requirement to allow a
six foot high wall and wrought iron gate to be constructed 10 feet
from the front property line at 27922 Longhill Drive ; and
WHEREAS , after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of
the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code , a public hearing was
held on June 13 , 1989, 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 exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the property which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning
district , in that the lot is adjoined to the street of access by a
105 foot long flag . The lot is constrained by sharing the same
ingress egress easement with lots 25 , 26 and 28 and lacks a front
property line adjacent to the street of access ; and
Section 2 : That the Variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
landowner, since the configuration and orientation of the
residence in relationship to the property lines and use areas does
not allow reasonable privacy or adequate space on the property to
insure privacy and setback from the driveway without conflict with
setback requirements ; and
Section 3 : That granting of Variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare since the
improvements made to the property do not adversely impact the
privacy or primary views of surrounding properties ; and
Section 4 : The proposed development is in conformance with
the General Plan since the height of the fencing will provide the
property owners with additional privacy and reduce noise from
traffic on the flag easements shared by the adjacent properties .
Section 5 : For the foregoing reasons , the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves
Variance No . 233 subject to the conditions of approval in Exhibit
111
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 13th day of June 1989 .
