PC RES 1985-028 RESOLUTION P.C. NO. 85-28
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 130, TO PERMIT
A PROPOSED AWNING TO ENCROACH TWO (2) FEET BEYOND THE
ALLOWED PROJECTION FOR ROOF OVERHANGS/EAVES.
WHEREAS, Collins Property, Inc. has applied for Variance No. 130
to allow an additional 2 foot roof overhang at 29019 South Western Avenue,
and;
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on Tuesday, October 22, 1985
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, or to the intended use of
the property, which do not apply generally to other property in the same
zoning district; in that the subject lot, located at 29019 South Western
Avenue, does not meet the minimum dimension requirements for the CG zone,
thereby creating a hardship in allowing for larger setbacks which in turn
would allow for greater architectural design treatments.
Section 2: That such 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; in that the use of canvas awnings is becoming wide spread for the
purpose of brightening a building facade and attracting business.
Section 3: That the granting of the 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; in that the affected frontage is
facing a major commercial arterial highway.
Section 4: That the granting of such a variance will not be contrary
to the objectives of the General Plan; in that the proposed awnings would be reviewed
at the time that the future Specific Plan for this location is reviewed.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Variance No. 130 subject to the
conditions contained in Exhibit 'A' , attached hereto.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 22nd day of October, 5./
