PC RES 1982-006•
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING
VARIANCE NO. 77
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Schmid have requested a variance to allow a second story
addition which encroaches up to twelve (12) feet into the required twenty (20) foot front
setback at 2855 Colt Road, Rancho Palos Verdes; and
WHEREAS, after notice pursuant to the City's Development Code, a public hearing
was held on March 9, 1982, 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 involved which do not apply generally to other property in the
same zoning district since the natural terrain of the lot does not provide suitable building
area for a single story addition and the existing primary structure encroaches into the
front yard setback.
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 in
the area enjoy the same encroachment.
Section 3: That granting this variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare of injurious to property and improvements in the area in which the property
is located since the addition will not significantly obstruct primary views from neighboring
properties, or pose a visibility or traffic safety problem.
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. 77.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 9th day of March , 1982.
