of 42 legal lots, whereby 31 housing units were relocated from the land area affected by the
Portuguese Bend Landslide to the new subdivision between 1958 and 1959 and the remaining 11
lots were developed with custom homes; and,
WHEREAS, in 1975, the City's first Zoning Map was adopted and the properties located
within Tract 16540 were placed within two zoning districts, RS-2 and RS-5, whereby some
properties were designated wholly RS-2 or RS-5 and some properties contained dual zoning with
both RS-2 and RS-5; and,
WHEREAS, in 1975, the City's first Zoning Map was adopted and a number of properties
along the south side of Maritime Road also included an Open Space Hazard (OH) zoning
designation; and,
WHEREAS, in 1978, the City's Coastal Specific Plan was adopted, in compliance with the
mandates established by the California Coast Act for establishing a Local Coastal Program within
the City's Coastal Zone (all land seaward of Palos Verdes Drive West and Palos Verdes Drive
South), and the City's Coastal Specific Plan established a total of eight (8) Subregions, whereby
Tract 16540 is located within Subregion six (6); and,
WHEREAS, on March 3, 2009,the City Council approved a Director-initiated Zone Change
Initiation Request(ZCAIR)to bring a Zone Change before the Planning Commission for review and
preparation of a formal recommendation to the City Council regarding the Zone Change of Tract
16540; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. ("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
approval of the Zone Change would result in a significant adverse effect on the environment, and
therefore,a Negative Declaration has been prepared and notice of the fact was given in the manner
required by law; and,
WHEREAS, after notice was issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Development Code,the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 12,
2009, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present
evidence; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission approved P.C. Resolution No. 2009-20,
recommending that the City Council certify a Negative Declaration pursuant to the California

approve a Zone Change for East Tract 16540 in the Portuguese Bend Club to establish one
consistent zoning designation within Tract 16540; and,
WHEREAS, after a notice was issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Development Code, the City Council opened up the public hearing on July 7 2009, at which
time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence and
subsequently continued the proposed "clean-up" Zone Change to August 4, 2009 to allow time for
the Planning Commission to consider a Lot Line Adjustment(LLA) appeal that involves one of the
42 properties subject to the "clean-up" Zone Change; and,
WHEREAS, on August 4, 2009,the City Council introduced Ordinance No.496 for a"clean-
up" Zone Change for East Tract 16540, Case No. ZON2009-00053 to be formally adopted via a
second reading on August 18, 2009; and,
WHEREAS, on August 18, 2009, Ordinance No. 496 was formally adopted by the City
Council, to go into full force and effect on September 17, 2009; and,
WHEREAS, due to insufficient posting of Ordinance No.496,caused the need for Ordinance
No. 496 to be re-introduced to the City Council on September 15, 2009 along with an Urgency
Ordinance to cause the Ordinance to be in full force and effect immediately; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council has reviewed and considered the amendments to the
Rancho Palos Verdes Zoning Map for the East Tract 16540 "clean-up" Zone Change.
Section 2: The City Council finds that the Zone Change for East Tract 16540 is
consistent with California Government Code Section 65853, zoning amendment procedures.
Section 3: The proposed Zone Change is warranted since it is consistent with the City's
Local Coastal Specific Plan, which states, "...the 5 unit per acre density is in conformance with the
existing pattern[ofdevelopment]and induces new units under a pattern which is compatible with the
intimate character established by past development"(page S6-10, RPV Coastal Specific Plan).The
change in zoning from RS-2 or dual residential zoning(RS-2 and RS-5)to RS-5 would be consistent
with the exiting pattern of development, density and lot sizes found within East Tract 16540.
Section 4: For the foregoing reasons and based upon the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Initial Study and other records of these proceedings,the City Council of
the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves the Zone Change, thereby rezoning the
residential zoning on the properties or portions of the properties from wholly RS-2 or dual zoned
RS2 and RS-5 (Single Family Residential)to wholly RS-5 (Single-Family Residential)so that all of
the residential portions of the properties within East Tract 16540 (except the property located at
1494 Maritime Road)shall be in one uniform residential RS-5 Zone, as set forth in Exhibit"A"(which
is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference).
Section 5: The City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the Zone
Change amendments to East Tract 16540 would result in new significant environmental effects.A
Negative Declaration has been prepared and C.C. Resolution No. 2009-58 has been adopted,
Ordinance No. 496
Page 2 of 3
certifying the Negative Declaration and making certain environmental findings in association with
Case No. ZON2009-00053.
Section 6: The Rancho Palos Verdes Zoning Map is hereby by amended to change the
residential zoning designations within East Tract 16540 to Single-Family Residential (RS-5)for the
following properties only:4156, 4150, 4144, 4136, 4126, 4124, 4112, 4110, 4104, and 4048 Palos
Verdes Drive South;4111, 4109, 4105, 4101, 4100, 4108, 4112 Sea Horse Lane; and 4187,4188,

4125, 4118, 4115, 4110, 4105, and 4100 Maritime Road and as illustrated in Exhibit "A," which is
attached to this Ordinance and incorporated herein by this reference. This Ordinance shall not
