P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 89-68
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DENYING THE
APPEAL OF HEIGHT VARIATION NO. 583 THEREBY
APPROVING THE PROJECT AT 26833 HYTE ROAD.
WHEREAS, the Director of Environmental Services approved
Height Variation No. 583 for a two story addition at 26833 Hyte
Road; and
WHEREAS, on August 18, 1989, Mrs. Beverly Rhodes et. al .
filed an appeal with the Planning Commission within 15 days of the
decision of the Director of Environmental Services; and
WHEREAS, after notice pursuant to the City's Development
Code, a public hearing was held on November 14, 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 the proposed structure is designed and
situated in such a manner as to minimize view obstruction since
the addition has been reduced in height from 26 feet 6 inches to
23 feet and would extend only over the east side of the structure
leaving the west portion of the residence and area over the garage
a single story structure. As a condition of approval , the
landowner shall sign a Covenant agreement to maintain the
vegetation in an approved condition to protect views.
Section 2: That any view impairment for the portion of the
proposed addition over 16 feet high does not significantly impair
the primary view from any of the properties in the area which were
identified as having a view as set forth in the City' s Development
Code. The proposed ridgeline of the residence would appear below
the line of the coast and below the distant view of city lights.
Section 3: That the proposed structure is not located on a
ridge or promontory.
Section 4: That the structure does not significantly impair a
view or vista from public property (parks, major thoroughfare,
bikeway, walkway, equestrian trial etc. ) which has been identified
in the City' s General Plan, Coastal Specific Plan or City-approved
viewing area.
111
Section 5: That there is no significant cumulative impact
caused by granting the application since the proposed project
would not be seen from the primary viewing areas of any property
in the area and similar additions, with conservative ridge heights
designed below the line of the distant view would minimize
cumulative view impact.
Section 6: That after consideration of the appeal of Height
Variation No. 583 on November 14, 1989, the Planning Commission
denied the appeal and thereby approved the project at 26833 Hyte
Road subject to the conditions attached as Exhibit "A" .
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 14th day of November 1989.
