NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: This lot is unique in that it is sur-
rounded by lots as small as 25, 000 square feet, and the strict
application of the Ordinance deprives this property of priv-
ileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under
identical zoning classification; and
Section 2 : That the adjustment authorized will not
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in
which the property is situated inasmuch as there are many
other lots of a similar or smaller size; and
Section 3: That subject property is presently zoned
under an interim zoning classification and is subject to re-
view in particular circumstances and strict application of
zoning regulations as they apply to such property will result
in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent
with the general purpose of such regulations and standards; and
Section 4: That such adjustment will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare,
since physical improvements including sewers are required, or
to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons
located in the vicinity, since many other lots are of a similar
or smaller size and the type of structure proposed would be com-
patible with others in the area.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons , the City Council
of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants to Meine Con-
struction Company a variance for the above property to create two
lots of 30, 000 square feet each, and hereby approves Parcel Map
5726, for the recording of said lots, subject to the following
attached conditions marked Exhibit "A" , which are necessary to
protect the health, safety and general welfare in the area.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 20th day of May
