PC RES 1980-030RESOLUTION P.C. NO. 80-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES DENYING VARIANCE NO. 59
WHEREAS, Elena Ramos Ledon has requested a variance for the construction
of a single family residence with a maximum total height of thirty-eight and
one-half (38-1/2) feet on property located at 30172 Cartier Drive, Tract No.
25160, Lot 139; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Rancho
Palos Verdes Development Code, a public hearing was held December 23, 1980,
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 not exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property,
which do not apply generally to other property in the same zoning district,
because there are alternative building and site designs available to alleviate
the height problem.
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 other property owners under like conditions in the same zoning
district, because it is possible to construct a single family residence on the
subject property while remaining within the limits of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Development Code.
Section 3: That the concept of the proposed structure is contrary to the
objectives of the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan, since construction of the
residence would violate grading and visual character policies.
Section 4: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby denies Variance No. 59.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 23rd day of December 1 1980.
