NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes does hereby find, determine,�and resolve as follows: Section 1. That the proposed residential planned development is permitted in the RS -2 district, subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. Section 2. That the 17.1 acre site located to the south of St. John Fisher Church and abutting Crenshaw Boulevard is adequate in both size and shape to accommodate 31 single family detached units in a residential planned development and for all of the open space requirements, private outdoor living area, landscaping, and other features required by the City's Development Code or by conditions imposed in this permit. Section 3. The proposed residential planned development is not contrary to the General Plan and said conformance has been insured by site design considerations and landscaping plan re- quirements, which are conditions of this permit. Section 4. That the residential planned development will locate its point of ingress/egress to obtain access from Crenshaw Boulevard, which is properly designed to carry both type and quantity of traffic generated by said project. Section 5. That given the project's location, site design, and conditions imposed through this permit, the granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the peace, health, safety or general welfare of the area, nor will it be materially detrimental to property values, jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety and welfare of persons or properties in the surrounding area. Section 6. That the Planning Commission does hereby certify that the Final Environmental Impact Report has been completed in compliance with the CEQA and State Guidelines and that the Ccm.ission has reviewed and considered the contents of the report in reaching its decision. The Commission further finds that the approval of this conditional use permit will not have a significant adverse environmental impact, because grading has been minimized, steeper slope areas left open to be maintained by the owners, drainage has been adequately planned for, and other issues mitigated as discussed in the Environmental Impact Report.
