RESOLUTION P.C. NO. 81-56
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING
VARIANCE NO. 72
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Nickel have requested a variance to allow a garage
addition to encroach sixteen (16) feet into the required twenty (20) foot front
setback at 77 Rockinghorse Road, Rancho Palos Verdes; and
WHEREAS, after notice pursuant to the City's Development Code, a public
hearing was held on October 27, 1981, 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 unusually small buildable area of the lot creates an
exceptional circumstance that is applicable to this property, or to the intended
use on the property, which does not apply generally to other property in the
same zoning district.
Section 2: That this 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
other property owners abutting private streets in the area enjoy the same encroachment.
Section 3: That granting this variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area in
which the property is located since the garage will be cut into the slope and will
not obstruct the visibility along Rockinghorse Road.
Section 4: That granting this variance is not contrary to the objectives
of the General Plan.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the City
of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Variance No. 71.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 27th'day-of October, 1981.
Secretary to the Commission
