A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. 215 FOR A WALL AT 29413 BAYEND DRIVE.
WHEREAS , John and Kyriakoula Abazis requested a Variance to
allow an existing wall which exceeds the maximum allowed height
and is located within the twenty ( 20) foot setback at 29413 Bayend
Drive .
WHEREAS , after notice pursuant to the City's Development
Code, a hearing was held on October 25 , 1988 , 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 since the
wall has been existing for at least 12 years prior to annexation
of the Eastview area.
Section 2: That a Variance is necessary to preserve or allow
the enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant
which is possessed by other property owners under similar
conditions in the same zoning district , since the wall is
consistent with walls on other similar properties in the
neighborhood.
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, since the structure blends with the architecture of the
residence and Building and Safety code requirements shall be met .
Section 4: That the granting of the Variance will not be
contrary to the objectives of the General Plan, as there are no
negative impacts since the wall and existing landscaping enhances
the physical and visual character of the property and
neighborhood.
Section 5 : For the foregoing reasons, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves
Variance No. 215 , pursuant to the conditions in Exhibit "A" , such
conditions being necessary to preserve and protect the public
health, safety and welfare .
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 25th day of October, 1988.
