Adjustment(Case No. ZON2010-00077 and SUB2010-00001)documents were recorded with
the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office; and,

Council, to go into full force and effect on September 15, 2011; 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 a "clean-up" Zone Change for the property located at
4194 Maritime Road, within E. Tract 16540 of the Portuguese Bend Club.
Section 2: The City Council finds that the Zone Change for 4194 Maritime Road 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 Hof development] 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 (Single-family Residential) to RS-5
(Single-family Residential)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 property located at 4194 Maritime Road from wholly RS-2 (Single-family
Residential) to wholly RS-5 (Single-Family Residential) so that all of the residential portions of
•
Ordinance No. 523
Page 2 of 3
the properties within E. Tract 16540 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 proposed
Zone Change amendment to E. Tract 16540 would result in any new significant environmental
effects. A Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted by C.C. Resolution No. 2009-58,
certifying the Negative Declaration and making certain environmental findings in association with
Case No. ZON2009-00053. Those findings are applicable to this change of zone within the
same housing tract.
Section 6: The Rancho Palos Verdes Zoning Map is hereby by amended to change
the residential zoning designation for the property located at 4194 Maritime Road, within East
Tract 16540, to Single-Family Residential (RS-5), as illustrated in Exhibit"A,"which is attached
to this Ordinance and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 7: The time within which judicial review of the decision reflected in this
Ordinance must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 16th day of August, 2011.
