PC RES 1980-006 RESOLUTION P.C. NO. 80-6
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL
MAP NO. 11896
WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map NO. 11896 has been filed, which would allow
for the division of a 2.89 acre parcel into two (2) parcels, each greater than the
required one (1) acre; and
WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map No. 11896 is located on the west side of
Palos Verdes Drive West and the City boundary which is in an RS-1-RPD zoning dis-
trict; and
WHEREAS, proper notice was made and the Planning Commission has reviewed
this matter at public meetings held on October 23, 1979 and March 25, 1980 at which
all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the site is physically suitable to accommodate two (2)
lots in terms of design and potential uses and that said division will not result
in significant environmental impact, based on compliance with the City's Develop-
ment Code, General Plan, Coastal Specific Plan, and consideration of information
contained in the project's Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No.
369.
Section 2: That the creation of two (2) lots for residential purposes
will not be materially detrimental to property values, jeopardize, endanger, or
otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety, or general welfare
of persons or properties in the surrounding area, nor will it adversely affect
the peace, health, safety or general welfare in the area since conditions of
approval require on and off site improvements.
Section 3: That the Planning Commission does hereby declare that a
Negative Declaration was granted in compliance with City and State Environmental
Impact Report guidelines and that the Commission has reviewed and considered the
contents of the Initial Study in reaching its decision. The Planning Commission
further finds that the approval of this Parcel Map will not result in a signifi-
cant effect since mitigation measures are required to protect potential archaeolo-
gical resources, as identified in the Initial Study.
Section 4: That the Planning Commission hereby determines that division
and development of the property in the manner set forth on the map of Tentative
Parcel Map No. 11896 will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete
exercise of the public entity and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or ease-
ments within the tentative parcel map.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes grants approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 11896
subject to the attached conditions marked Exhibit "A", which are necessary to
protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the area.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 7th of April , 1980.
