A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. 247; COASTAL PERMIT NO. 80 AND GRADING
PERMIT NO. 1402 TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE
SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR A 282 SQUARE FOOT
ADDITION LOCATED WITHIN THE LANDSLIDE MORITORIUM
AND COASTAL DISTRICT AT 112 SPINDRIFT.
WHEREAS, Mr. William Freeman has requested a Variance and
Coastal Permit for a reduction in the front and side yard setback
requirements for a 282 square foot addition to an existing
residence within the Coastal Specific Zone, at 112 Spindrift; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of
the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, a public hearing was
held on February 13, 1990, 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 which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning
district, in that the lot size and dimensions are substandard and
do not meet the requirements of the RS-2 zoning district.
Section 2: That the Variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
landowner, since the original configuration and orientation of the
residence in relationship to the property lines and use areas
would not allow reasonable additions to be made without
conflicting with setback requirements.
Section 3: That granting of Variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare since the
improvements made to the property do not adversely impact the
privacy or primary views of surrounding properties.
Section 4: The proposed development is in conformance with
the Coastal Specific Plan since the subject property is not
located in an Open Space Hazard Zone, there is no additional water
usage and the 282 square foot expansion is considered a minor
addition.
Section 5: That the existing development, which is located
between the sea and the first public road, is in conformance with
applicable public access and recreation policies of the Coastal
Act, in that there are no public trails or access point on the
subject property which the proposed addition disturbs.
Section 6: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission
of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Variance No.
247; Coastal Permit No. 80 and Grading Permit No. 1402 subject to
the conditions of approval in Exhibit "A" .
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 13th .ay of February 1990.
