SETBACK AT 4144 PALOS VERDES DRIVE SOUTH
WHEREAS, Captain and Mrs. Allen Dempsey have applied for Variance
No. 117 and Coastal Permit No. 12 to allow construction of a garage within
the 20 foot front setback and;
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on Tuesday, May 14, 1985, at
which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to testify
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 circumstance
or conditions 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, in that the character of development of this lot and the
surrounding lots differs substantially, from what is required in the RS-5
zoning district in terms of setbacks and lot size.
Section 2: That such Variance is necessary for the preser-
vation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant
which is possessed by other property owners under like conditions in the
same zoning district since the subject lot is currently the only lot in
the immediate neihgborhood which is not developed with a 5 foot building
setback and which does not have an enclosed garage.
Section 3: That the granting of the Variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements
in the area in which the property is located in that the proposed develop-
ment would be more consistent with the existing development in the neighborhood.
Section 4: That the granting of such a Variance would not be contrary
to the objectives of the General Plan nor the policies and requirements of the
Coastal Specific Plan.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of
the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Variance No. 117 and Coastal
Permit No. 12 subject to the conditions in Exhibit A.
