("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f)(Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes has prepared an Initial Study and determined that there is no substantial evidence that the approval for the General Plan Amendment, Height Variation and Site Plan Review would result in a significant adverse effect on the environment and,therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared and notice of same was given in the manner required by law; and, NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: This approval is for a change in zoning designation for the flat portion of 3324 Seaclaire Drive from the existing Zoning Use Designation of Open Space Hazard (OH)to a new Zoning Designation of Residential (RS-3), as set forth in `Exhibit A', which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. Specifically, the building pad area with existing residential improvements are to be located entirely within the RS-3 boundary so that the new OH boundary follows the top of the slope in the rear yard and the OH zone will remain entirely over the subject property's extreme slope. The resulting change in zoning designation will be consistent with the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan. Section 2: The City Council finds that the proposed zone change would not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts in addition to or beyond those already associated with the existing use of the sites since the zone change reflects existing conditions on the subject property, and therefore has adopted Resolution No. 2007-110, certifying a Negative Declaration for the Zone Change. (Case No. ZON2007-00134). Section 3: The City Council finds that the approval of the Zone Change will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts because the zoning designations would be consistent with the existing use and topography of the site, which currently maintains residential structures that were approved prior to the City's incorporation. Furthermore,the City's geotechnical consultant has reviewed and approved a geology report in relation to the proposed project. Section 4: The City Council finds that the approval of the Zone Change is in the interest of the property owners within the project area because this would enable them to construct improvement projects that can be constructed by other property owners with residences that are within a Residential Land Use Designation,which are in the immediate vicinity. Section 5: Based upon the facts contained in this Ordinance, in the Staff Report and other components of the legislative record, in the certified Negative Declaration, and in the public comments received by the Planning Commission and the City Council, the City Council hereby approves the Zone Change of Case No. ZON2007-00134 to change the zoning designation for the flat portions of 3324 Seaclaire Drive from the existing Zoning Use Designation of Open Space Hazard (OH)to a new Zoning Designation of Residential, RS-3, such that the new OH boundary flows the top of the extreme slope in the rear yard as illustrated in Exhibit A attached hereto,which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 6: The time within which the judicial review of the decision reflected in this Ordinance, if available, must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation. Section 7: Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, Ordinance No. 464 Page 2 of 3 phrase, or portion of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
