Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et. seq.,the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government
Code Section 65952.5(e) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), on August 9, 2016,
copies of the draft Addendum No.47 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 were distributed to the
City Council in its City Council agenda packet and on August 16, 2016, prior to taking action on the
proposed amendment to the Development Agreement for the Trump National project, the City
Council independently reviewed and considered the information and findings contained in
Addendum No. 47 to EIR No. 36; and,
WHEREAS, on August 16, 2016, after notice was issued pursuant to the provisions of the
Development Code, the City Council held a public hearing to consider draft Addendum No. 47 to
Environmental Impact Report No. 36,the proposed amendment to the Development Agreement for

Revision "EEE" to the Trump National Golf Club project for the continued temporary use of the
driving range, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present
evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: This request is to permit an extension of Vesting Tentative Map No. 50666.
Government Code section 66452.6 (a)(1) allows a tentative map on property subject to a
development agreement to be extended for the period of time provided for in the agreement, but not
beyond the duration of the agreement. On August 16, 2016 the City Council extended the
Development Agreement for two years, such that it will expire on September 21, 2018. The
Development Agreement was amended to state that Vesting Tentative Map No. 50666 could be
similarly extended such that it would expire on September 21,2018. The Trump Organization filed a
timely request to extend Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50666. The City Council finds that
Tentative Map No. 50666 is consistent with the City's General Plan,the Zoning Ordinance and Local
Coastal Plan. The City Council hereby approves a two-year extension to Vesting Tentative Map No.
50666, such that it will expire on September 21, 2018.
Section 2: Pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines,approval
of Addendum No. 47 to the previously certified EIR, rather than the preparation of a subsequent or
supplemental EIR, is appropriate for the consideration of the proposed revisions to the Trump
National Golf Club project, based on the following findings:
1. That subsequent changes proposed to the project do not require important revisions
to the previous EIR, since there are no new significant environmental impacts that have
been identified, which were not considered in the previous EIR. This is so, since the
proposed changes identified in Section 1 and attached Exhibit "A" to Addendum No. 47
would not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment that are not already
analyzed within EIR No. 36. Specifically, the approved request will simply extend Vesting
Tentative Map No. 50666 while minor issues related to the project's conditions of approvals
are addressed. There have been no substantial changes to the Project or to the
environment that would cause the Project to significantly impact the environment, nor does
the proposed amendment affect a change that would impact the environment in any manner
that was not previously considered and mitigated to the extent feasible.
Resolution No. 2016-37

2. That substantial changes to the project would not occur with respect to the
circumstances under which the project is undertaken, which would require important
revisions to the previous EIR, since, as noted in #1 above, there are no new significant
environmental impacts that were not considered in the previous EIR, Supplement and
previous Addenda thereto, and the approved project provides for changes that only affect
the timing of when certain project amenities will be completed.
3. That there is no new information of substantial importance to the project which
indicates that these approved changes will have one or more significant effects not
discussed previously in the EIR; that significant effects previously examined will not be
substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; that no mitigation measures or
alternatives, previously found not to be feasible, would now in fact be feasible and would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project; or that no mitigation
measures or alternatives which were not previously considered in the EIR, would now
substantially lessen one or more significant effects of the environment, because this
approved project is only to permit modifications that would cause slight delays in the
completion dates for certain project amenities.
Section 3: The time within which judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution,
if available, is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or other
applicable shortened periods of limitation.
