A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING EXTREME SLOPE
PERMIT NO. 38, THEREBY APPROVING A 322 SQUARE FOOT
REAR YARD DECK AT 28813 BLYTHEWOOD DRIVE
WHEREAS, the applicants Mr. and Mrs. Goetze have requested
Extreme Slope Permit No. 38 to allow a 322 square foot deck which
would cantilever a maximum of 41- 511 over an extreme slope; and,
WHEREAS, on June 7, 1994, the applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Goetze
submitted Extreme Slope Permit No. 38 to allow construction of a
322 square foot deck to cantilever a maximum of 41- 511 over the
rear yard slope; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning, Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on the project on August 9, 1994, 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 the site cannot reasonably acconiiodate the
structure in another location not involving an extreme slope; and,
although the front property could accommodate a deck, it is not a
viewing area.
Section 2: That the granting of an Extreme Slope Permit will
not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
the area in which the property is located, since the proposed deck
would not impair views or adversely impact the privacy of adjacent
properties on both Blythewood Drive and Geronimo Drive.
Section 3: That there would be no significant disturbance to
the slope since the majority of the deck would cantilever 11-011
over the rear yard slope and a only a small portion of the deck
(111-011 in length) would cantilever 41- 511 over the slope, the
vertical support members would be screened with vegetation, and the
grading for the footings at the toe of the slope would be minimal.
Section 4: The Extreme Slope Permit is not contrary to the
provision of the General Plan since the proposed deck would not
alter the existing residential use of the site, and is in
conformance with all land use control elements of the General Plan.
Section 5: The time within which judicial review of the
decision reflected in this resolution, if available, must be sought
is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil
procedure.
Section 6: Based on the facts contained in this Resolution,
in the Staff Report, Minutes, and other components of the
legislative record, and in the public comments received, the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby
approves Extreme Slope Permit No. 38, in conjunction with Grading
Permit No. 1740, subject to the conditions of approval contained in
P.C. Resolution 94 - for Grading Permit No. 1740, which are
necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general
welfare.
