A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 111
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Sorkin have requested a conditional
use permit to allow installation of four (4) lights on a private tennis court
located at 27 La Vista Verde; and
WHEREAS, following public notice, issued pursuant to the provisions
of the City's Development Code, a public hearing was held on December 9, 1986
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 site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
said use for all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other
features required by the Development Code, and that a tennis court is a permitted
use in an RS-2 zoning district.
Section 2: That La Vista Verde provides adequate vehicular access
to the site, since the dwelling unit and private tennis court will not generate
excessive traffic.
Section 3: That the Planning Commission does hereby declare that
the final Negative Declaration has been completed in compliance with State
and local guidelines and that the Commission has reviewed and considered the
contents of the Initial Study in reaching its decision. The Planning Commission
further finds that a lighted private tennis court in this area will not result
in a significant adverse effect on adjacent properties or permitted use thereof
since conditions are hereby imposed to mitigate potential impacts.
Section 4: That the use is not contrary to the General Plan, since
private recreational uses are encouraged and the view impacts have been
mitigated.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of
the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants approval of Conditional Use Permit
No. 111 subject to the conditions found in Exhibit "A" of this resolution.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 13th day of January, 1987
