PC RES 1990-047P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 90-47
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. 268 TO ALLOW A DECK MORE THAN SIX FEET OVER
AN EXTREME SLOPE.
WHEREAS, Ms. Becky Salzetti has requested a Variance to allow
a 382 square foot deck extending more than six feet over an
extreme slope at her property located at 27508 Elmbridge Drive;
and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the Rancho Palos
Verdes Municipal Code, a public hearing was held on August 28,
1990, at which time all interested parties were given an
opportunity to be heard and present evidence; and
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 and extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the property whish do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning
district, specifically, steep topography on much of the lot which
prevents the use of much of the property.
Section 2: That the Variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
landowner, since the deck enhances the use of the property.
Section 3: That granting of the Variance will not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare,
since the proposed improvements to the property do not and would
not adversely impact the privacy or views of the surrounding
properties.
Section 4: That granting of the Variance will not be
contrary to provisions of the General Plan, since the use will
remain single-family residential.
•
Section 5: That for the foregoing reasons and based on
information and findings included in the staff report and evidence
presented at the public hearings, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Variance No. 268
subject to the conditions marked in Exhibit "A" which are
necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general
welfare of the area.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 28th day of Yugust,Y990.
