A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 292
TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A BAY WINDOW 8 FEET INTO
THE FRONT SETBACK AND 12 FEET FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY
LINE AT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4364 ADMIRABLE DRIVE.
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Greg Olton have requested a Variance to
allow construction of a bay window 8 feet into the front setback and 12
feet from the front property line; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the
Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code a public hearing was held on April
9, 1991, 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: 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 existing
structure was constructed so as to be situated at an angle on the lot
so that it does not conform to required setbacks, whereas most of the
Is other residences in the immediate neighborhood were constructed to
conform to the required setbacks. Thus, the granting of the variance
will not confer any special privileges upon the property owner.
Section 2: That such a 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 because the property is zoned for single
family residential development and the bay window will provide for
architectural articulation of the structure.
Section 3: 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 because the
bay window will not cause any view impairment or hinder vehicular
visibility.
Section 4: The granting of the variance will not be contrary to
the objectives of the general plan or the policies and requirements of
the coastal specific plan because there is no change in land use
proposed and the property is not located within the coastal zone.
