WHEREAS, Steve Chang has requested a Minor Exception
Permit to approve an after -the -fact storage shed that
encroaches into the rear yard setback at 27892 Palos Verdes
Drive East; and
WHEREAS, on December 3, 1991 the Director of Environmental
Services approved Minor Exception Permit No. 429 for a 3 foot
or 20 percent encroachment of a storage shed into the rear yard
setback; and
WHEREAS, on December 18, 1992 Pat Brown and Marilyn Sue
Pike filed a written appeal to the Planning Commission within
15 days of the decision of the Director of Environmental
Services; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued, pursuant to the provisions
of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, a public hearing
was held on March 24, 1992 by the Planning Commission to
consider the appeal of Minor Exception Permit No. 429 at which
time all interested parties were given the 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 no practical difficulties or
unnecessary hardships associated with the subject property
since there is space on the 3,600 square foot lot to
accommodate an alternative location for the shed outside the
required setback areas.
Section 2: That the denial of the Minor Exception Permit
will not create results that are inconsistent with the general
intent of the Development Code since the landowner's ability to
develop and use the subject property as a single family
residence will not be altered in any manner.
Section 3: For the foregoing reasons and based on the
information and findings included in the staff report, minutes
and evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby upholds
the appeal of Minor Exception Permit No. 429 thereby denying
the applicants request for a 20 percent rear yard encroachment
for a 75 square foot storage shed at 27892 Palos Verdes Drive
East.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED on this 31 st day of March
1992.
