There being no one present to speak further on the matter the hearing was
closed by the Mayor.
A motion was made by Bauer, seconded by Robitaille, to deny the appeal and
uphold the Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Exception (Variance)
No. 92-17 with the following findings:
Findings for Denial
1. Since the subject property can be fully developed within regular
established setbacks, such a conditional exception for an additional
driveway along Pacific Coast Highway for the existing office building and
with no on -site internal circulation is not necessary for the preserva-
tion and enjoyment of substantial property rights. The renovation of the
existing commercial building, approved under Use Permit No. 90-18 and
Conditional Exception No. 90-19, complied with the parking requirements
based on the code at that time. The additional driveway, has the poten-
tial to create additional vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian conflicts
along Pacific Coast Highway. The additional parking space does not
warrant the conflicts between vehicles entering and exiting the site, and
reduction in landscaping. In addition, there is a design option avail-
able to the applicant which is to access the southerly portion of the
site from an adjoining lot.
2. Granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-17 for an additional
driveway along Pacific Coast Highway for the existing office building and
with no on -site, internal circulation between the two parking areas would
constitute a special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon proper-
ties in the vicinity. Other parcels along Pacific Coast Highway in the
vicinity have only one point of ingress and egress (driveway).
3. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the subject property
of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same zone
classifications.
4. Although the property is irregular in configuration, the proposed drive-
way access on the southerly property line will create a hazardous situa-
tion with vehicular ingress and egress and northbound traffic- on Pacific
Coast Highway.
5. The proposed driveway would create awkward circulation movements on -site
and cause potential ingress and egress conflicts on an arterial highway.
The driveway width is only 18 feet in width 127' minimum is required by
the city) which is not wide enough to accommodate adequate two-way
maneuvering into and out from the site.
6. The driveway will result in a loss of on -site landscaping and open space
area pursuant a previously approved use permit which justified a variance
for reduced planter width (1' 6" in lieu of 10') along Pacific Coast
Highway next to the northerly parking area. `3 5
