COASTAL CONSERVANCY Staff Recommendation September 24, 2009 RANCHO PALOS VERDES NCCP: UPPER FILIORUM ACQUISITION File No. 05-071-02 Project Manager: Bob Thiel RECOMMENDED ACTION: Modification of prior Conservancy authorization to disburse up to $5,500,000 to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to acquire 160.5 acres of the Upper Filiorum Property to help implement the City's Natural Communities Conservation Plan. LOCATION: City of Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles County PROGRAM CATEGORY: Reservation of Significant Coastal Resource Areas EXHIBITS Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 staff recommendation Exhibit 2: Aerial photo of Filiorum and Donation Tracts Exhibit 3: Site map Exhibit 4: Filiorum and Donation Tract boundaries Exhibit 5: Location of Filiorum Tract within Landslide Moratorium Area RESOLUTION AND FINDINGS: Staff recommends that the State Coastal Conservancy adopt the following resolution pursuant to Sections 31350-31356 of the Public Resources Code: "The State Coastal Conservancy hereby authorizes the disbursement of an amount not to exceed $5,500,000 (five million five hundred thousand dollars)to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to acquire approximately 160.5 acres of the Upper Filiorum Property known as the Filiorum Tract (consistingof Los Angeles County Assessor Parcel Number 7581-023-029 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034) on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County to protect significant coastal resource areas. This authorization is subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the disbursement of funds for acquisition, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (the City) shall submit for the review and approval of the Executive Officer of the Conservancy all relevant acquisition documents, including but not limited to the • Page 1 of 10 UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION appraisal, environmental assessments, agreement of purchase and sale, escrow instructions, and documents of title necessary to the acquisition. 2.

Thero osed authorization is consistent with the purposes and objectives of Chapter 8 of p p Division 21 of the Public Resources Code (Sections 31350-31356)regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. 2. Thero osed authorization is consistent with the current Project Selection Criteria and p p Guidelines." PROJECT SUMMARY: ThisJro'ect would provide funds to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (the "City)to acquire p • • "Filiorum in order to approximately 160.5 acres of the Upper Filiorum property (the Tract ) pp Y implement the City's Natural Communities Conservation Plan. As part of the transaction, the seller will donate the remaining 29.4 acres of the Upper Filiorum property (the"Donation Tract"), resulting in conservation of 190 acres of undeveloped property on the Palos Verdes Peninsula for habitat and open space preservation and limited compatible public access. On September 25, 2008, the Conservancy authorized a grant of up to $5.5 million to the City to enable it top urchase the entire 190-acre Upper Filiorum Property, as well as an adjacent 27-acre site, known as the Plumtree property, for which the City held an option to purchase (see Exhibit 1). The state's funding crisis and resulting freeze on state bond funds, however,prevented the City from closing on either acquisition by the March 30, 2009 deadline imposed in its original purchase and sale agreement. The City has now renegotiated the acquisition with the seller. Although the City has lost the opportunity to purchase the Plumtree property, its new agreement with the seller allows the City to acquire, through purchase and donation, the entire Upper Filiorumro ert at a savings of$2.7 million over the purchase price in its earlier agreement. p p Y The currentJro•ect would involve the City's purchase of 160.5 acres of the Upper Filiorum p property, consisting of Los Angeles County Assessor Parcel Number 7581-023-029 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034, outlined on Exhibits 2 and 4 as"the Filiorum Tract." The purchaseprice rice for that acreage will be $6.5 million. The Filiorum Tract is located on the hillside above Palos Verdes Drive South and owned by the seller, York Long Point Associates, L.P. Simultaneously with the close of escrow on the City's purchase,the seller would donate to the Page 2 of 10 IAn UPPER FILIORUM ACQUISITION City the Donation Tract, the remaining 29.4 acres of the Upper Filiorum property, which consists of APN 7572-002-022 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034. In return,the seller would receive certain mitigation credits for the potential residential development of an adjacent property that is located outside of the City's NCCP Preserve. The Filiorum Tract is located below the southern end of Crenshaw Boulevard. The Donation Tract is located southeast of the Filiorum Tract, near Plumtree Road and Cinnamon Lane (see Exhibits 2 and 3). Because of severe slopes, about 107 acres total of both Tracts is zoned Open Space Hazard, a designation that generally permits only limited recreational use without permanent structures. The balance of each Tract is zoned residential: about 70 acres total of both Tracts is zoned RS-1 (one unit per one-acre lot), while the remaining 13 acres is zoned RS-2 (which permits two residences per one-acre lot). project differs from the previouslyapproved project in both the amount of acreage The revised p � pp that the City would acquire for inclusion in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve and the price it wouldpaY acquire uire the Upper Filiorum site. The project that was originally reviewed by the Conservancy a year ago involved the City's outright purchase of the entire Upper Filiorum property for$9.2 million, along with its option to purchase the smaller Plumtree property for p Y $3.0 million. This staff recommendation updates the previous Conservancy authorization to reflect the revised transaction. As with the earlier project,this acquisition would connect two reserve components of the City's Palos Verdes Nature Preserve (the Preserve), a 1,400-acre preserve that is being assembled under alan beingprepared under the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) p Act. (See the maps and photos attached as exhibits to Exhibit 1). The Upper Filiorum property would link the Three Sisters Reserve on the west with the Portuguese Bend Reserve to the east andp rovide a critical linkage between habitats that support the California gnatcatcher, Palos Verdes blue butterfly, and other special status species. Upper Filiorum is the last major segment ofp rivate property for acquisition and inclusion in the Preserve under the City's draft NCCP p p Y plan. plan The originally identified Upper Filiorum,the 423-acre Portuguese Bend (or Hon) property, and the 43-acre Agua Amarga Canyon parcel as the major private lands to be p Y� purchased for the Preserve. The latter two properties were both acquired by the City in 2005,with Coastal Conservancy and other funding. The City acquire uire and own the 190 acres of the Upper Filiorum Property and add it to the q Preserve. Concurrently with the acquisition, the City would grant a conservation easement over thero ert in favor of the Palos Verdes Land Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC),which p p Y has entered into an interim agreement with the City to manage the Preserve. The conservation easement would identify the California Department of Fish and Game as a third party beneficiary to enforce the provisions of the easement. The City and the owner of the Upper Filiorum property have entered into a purchase and sale agreement, under which the City is to purchase the Filiorum Tract for $6.5 million and the seller will donate the Donation Tract to the City in return for certain mitigation credits on the potential development of adjacent property. In addition to the proposed Conservancy funding for this project, the Citywill contribute $600,000 for the acquisition, with the $400,000 balance of the p J � . purchaseprice provided by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and private donors Page 3of10 _ •• UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION (See the "Project Financing"section below). The September 25, 2008 staff recommendation(Exhibit 1) outlines the development of the City's NCCP Preserve program, as well as the legal basis for that effort. It also describes the Upper Filiorum site and environmental setting, as well as the habitats and ecological communities that the City and its partners are seeking to conserve through this acquisition. The following section describes the changes to the project and the circumstances that generated them. SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT HISTORY Within weeks after the Conservancy authorized funding for the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree acquisitions last September, two events altered the dynamics of the project. The first was a court decision invalidating certain land-use restrictions on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The second was the State's freeze on bond funding. The Monks decision: The Portuguese Bend section of the Palos Verdes Peninsula has an extensive history of unstable g soil conditions, active landslides and other mass movement. In 1978,the City adopted a moratorium on the construction of new homes in the vicinity of a recent landslide, but established a process to allow owners of undeveloped lots to seek an exclusion from the moratorium. At the suggestion of the City's geologist,the City divided the moratorium area into eight separate zones, which differ in their geologic stability and in their proximity to active landslide areas. Zone 1---in which the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties are located--- consists of 550 acres at the top of the moratorium area and was characterized by the City's geologist ist in 1993 as one "unaffected by large historic landslides. . ." Located below Zone 1 is Zone 2: 130 acres that he similarly described as"unaffected by large historic landslides." In contrast,the remaining zones located to the south and east of Zones 1 and 2 encompass the areas of active or recent landslide activity (see Exhibit 5). In 2002,the City amended the moratorium ordinance to clarify the geologic standard that must be satisfied for a landowner to develop property within any of the Zones. Several owners of residentially-zoned vacant lots in Zone 2---some of whom had been waiting decades for approval to build homes on their properties---then sued the City, alleging inverse condemnation under the takings clause of the California constitution. After five years of litigation that included two trial court decisions and an intervening appellate court ruling,the Second District Court of Appeal found for the property owners, concluding that the City's moratorium deprived them of all economically beneficial use of their property and as a result constituted a permanent taking. [Monks v. City of Rancho Palos Verdes, 167 Cal.App 4th 263, 84 Cal.Rptr.3d 75 (2008).] The lower court had held that the City's ordinance was reasonable on several grounds, but the Court of Appeal disagreed. The trial court had found that the moratorium was not"permanent," since the plaintiffs could have sought an exclusion from the moratorium through the city's administrative process, albeit only by proving the stability of geologic conditions across all of Zone 2 through extensive (and extremely expensive) geotechnical studies. The appellate court said such an exercise was futile, since"the plaintiffs should not be required to pay between $500,000 and $1 million to conduct a study in an attempt to prove what the city would not Page 4 of 10 • UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION believe." The trial court had also held that City was justified under state nuisance law in responding to the risk of significant land movement by restricting development in the moratorium area. But the Court of Appeal said that for the City to prevail on those grounds, it would have had to demonstrate that the construction of homes on plaintiffs' lots would pose a significant harm to persons or property, which the City had failed to do. Block glides, such as those on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,the Court of Appeal said, are"large blocks of earth that move slowly along a single plane" and generally present no risk of harm to people. According to the Court of Appeal,the City had not argued that construction on plaintiffs' lots was likely to damage the property of others or to cause a block glide by weakening the stability of Zone 2. The Court of Appeal also found that the evidence at trial failed to establish a reasonable probability of personal injury or property damage, other than the possibility that the homes the plaintiffs wanted to build could be damaged in the distant future damage that could then be repaired. The appellate court noted that the City's own conduct in approving additions to existing homes in Zone 2 from 1988 to 2005 was inconsistent with its assertion that construction on the plaintiff's lots would be detrimental to public safety. As a consequence, the Court of Appeal said, `[t]he risk of property damage and personal injury . . . is not sufficient in any practical sense to justify applying the moratorium to plaintiffs' lots." Although the City appealed the decision of the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court of California declined_to_rev_iew it. The Monks decision had immediate implications for the City's proposed acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtreero erties. First, it called into question the development potential of p p property located within the moratorium area, which had usually been considered to be severely limited. By doing so, it also called into question assumptions about the value of that property. Second, the Monks decision caused the seller of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties, York Long Point Associates L.P.,to reevaluate the economic wisdom of selling the Plumtree property to the City for inclusion in the Preserve. If the moratorium ordinance constituted a permanent taking as applied to property within Zone 2, then it seemed likely that a court would apply a similar reasoning to property within Zone 1, further removed from any known historic landslide activity, where the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties were both located. The State bond freeze On December 18, 2008 (a day after the state Supreme Court declined to review the Monks decision)the state Department of Finance issued a budget letter(08-33) directing all state entities with expenditure control over bond-funded programs to suspend projects funded with state bond monies and to"cease authorizing any new grants or obligations for bond projects, including new phases for existing projects." That order effectively froze or blocked much of the funding which the City was relying on to buy the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties. As the September 25, 2008 staff recommendation outlines, the City had planned to use not only the Coastal Conservancy grant, but also $2.0 million in USFWS funds from the Wildlife Conservation Board to help fund the acquisitions. The budget letter directive froze the Coastal Conservancy's contribution; it also prevented the WCB (which had not yet authorized its funding) from considering its grant to the City. The bond freeze thus created a serious dilemma for the City: its purchase and sale agreement with the seller required the City to close on the Page 5 of 10 •UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION purchase by March 30, 2009. But with state funds frozen,the only alternatives available were foundation and other private monies, which the City and the PVPLC weren't able to raise in time. When the purchase and sale agreement expired,the seller withdrew both its offer to sell the Upper Filiorum property to the City for$9.2 million, as well as the City's option to purchase the Plumtree property for$3.0 million. • After failing to close on the acquisitions by March 30,the City began a new round of discussions with the seller to secure a feasible alternative to the original project. By that time,the seller had concluded that, in light of the Monks decision, it could probably obtain development entitlements on the Plumtree lots and as a result,the value of those lots was much greater than the $3.0 million for which it had previously offered to sell the property to the City. The City ultimately concluded that the seller's new asking price for the Plumtree property greatly exceeded the property's potential habitat value for the Preserve. And so the parties focused instead on renegotiating a new agreement for only the Upper Filiorum property. The revised purchase and sale agreement The City and the seller have negotiated a new agreement under which the City is to purchase the 160.5-acre Filiorum Tract for$6.5 million on or before December 31, 2009. At the closing,the seller will then donate to the City the 29.4 acre Donation Tract. The seller,which has filed an application with the City for residential development on the Plumtree property, will then be credited with mitigation for the loss of potential habitat as a result of any such development. The City, DFG and USFWS have evaluated the amount of coastal sage scrub and grassland habitat that would be lost if the Plumtree property were completely developed and have determined that the dedication of the 30-acre Donation Tract would fully mitigate for the loss of habitat present on the Plumtree property. The terms of the purchase and sale agreement provide that the seller would not be required in the future to donate additional land or money for conservation purposes to compensate for the loss of habitat on the Plumtree property as a result of its development. Because the seller's permit applications are subject to discretionary review, however,the agreement is not a guaranty that York Long Point will be allowed to develop the Plumtree Property or that the City would not require any additional mitigation or dedication of land for p y . . . other purposes, such as conditioning seller's project on installation of a new fire access road. Thep arties have also had the Upper Filiorum property reappraised as of June 30, 2009. The appraisal includes the agreed and supportable assumption that the reasoning in the Monks pp decision would extend and apply to properties within Zone 1 (which is further distant from historic landslide activity) and, as a result, permit a landowner to pursue development approvals under the City's standard discretionary-review processes. PROJECT FINANCING: Coastal Conservancy $5,500,000 City of Rancho Palos Verdes 600,000 Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and private donations 400,000 Total project cost $6,500,000 Page 6 of 10 • • • UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION The anticipated source of funds for this project is an appropriation to the Conservancy from Proposition 84---the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Public Resources Code Sections 75001 et seq). Consistent with the purposes specified in Section 75060 of that bond act,the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property would protect natural habitat values of coastal lands on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, as well as promote access to and enjoyment of the coastal resources of the state. In evaluating acquisition projects for the purpose of natural resource protection under Proposition 84, the Conservancy is directed by Section 75071 of the bond act to give priority to projects that meet one or more of the five criteria specified in Section 75071. Acquisition of the p J Upper Filiorum property by the City would meet at least three of those criteria: 1. "Properties that link to, or contribute to linking, existing protected areas with other large blocks of protected habitat. . ." [§75071(a)]. As discussed above, the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum site would provide the necessary connection between the 98-acre Three Sisters Reserve with the 423-acre Portuguese Bend Reserve. 2. "Properties that support relatively large areas of under-protected major habitat types" [ 75071(c)]. The proposed acquisition would help protect an important segment of coastal sage scrub, an ecological community whose losses in Southern California have exceeded 90 percent of its original extent. 3. "Properties for which there is a non-state matching contribution toward the acquisition, restoration, stewardship or management costs." [§75071(e)]. As shown above, the local and private contribution towards these acquisitions would represent more than 15 percent of the purchase price. As also mandated by Section 75071(f) of the bond act, Conservancy staff has submitted to the Resources Agency, and has posted on the Conservancy's website, an explanation of how the proposed acquisitions meet the criteria established in Section 75071. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S ENABLING LEGISLATION: As discussed in the earlier staff recommendation (Exhibit 1), funding for the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property is consistent with Chapter 8 of the Conservancy's enabling legislation, Division 21 of the Public Resources Code (Sections 31350-31356), regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S 2007 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S) & OBJECTIVE(S): Thero osed project would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Conservancy's p p 2007 Strategic Plan, as described in the September 25, 2008 staff recommendation(Exhibit 1). Page 7 of 10 EXHIBIT • • UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S CLIMATE-CHANGE POLICY The proposed project is consistent with Coastal Conservancy Policy Statement on Climate Change, adopted on June 4, 2009, which recognizes that"protection,restoration, and enhancement of habitats, ecosystem processes, and open space is essential to minimizing threats from global warming to California's biodiversity. . ." By securing a significant linkage between existing habitat areas on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,the proposed acquisition will protect potential migration corridors,promote the survival of listed and other native species and biodiversity, and help preserve key ecosystem processes within the Preserve. In addition, the Policy directs Conservancy staff to consider climate change in evaluating which projects to fund and the manner in which projects are selected. Staff has taken into account the relevant considerations in connection with its proposal for funding the acquisition of the Filiorum Tract, as detailed in the"CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA & GUIDELINES" section, below. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA & GUIDELINES: September 25, 2008 staff recommendation (Exhibit 1)discusses in detail how the proposed The Septe acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property is consistent with the Conservancy's Project Selection q Criteria and Guidelines, dated September 20, 2007, that then applied to the project. The Coastal Conservancy Policy Statement on Climate Change and revised Project Selection Criteria, adopted by the Conservancy on June 4, 2009, include three new criteria intended to address greenhouse gas emissions, vulnerability to sea level rise and other climate change impacts. The revised project is consistent with each of those three new criteria, as well as each of the criteria that were reviewed in the earlier staff recommendation: Required Criteria Sea level rise vulnerability: The elevation of the Upper Filiorum site ranges from 475 feet above mean sea level (MSL) along its southern boundary to 1100 feet above MSL in its northeastern corner. As a result, the property is not located in an area considered vulnerable to future sea level rise by the end of this century. Additional Criteria: Minimization of greenhouse gas emissions: The proposed project involves only a transfer of title to existing open space and would therefore not directly contribute to the generation of greenhouse gas emissions. As this report discusses in more detail in its section on"Consistency with CEQA,"the preservation of the Upper Filiorum property as habitat and open space will help sequester carbon on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, although in amounts that are difficult to estimate at this time. Vulnerability from climate change impacts other than sea level rise: In preparing and implementing their final Subarea Management Plan for the property, the City and its project p partners on the Palos Verdes Preserve intend to adopt robust adaptation measures and strategies to address potential impacts of climate change. Those measures will include monitoring change in the landscape over time, managing and eradicating invasive species, and implementing an Page 8 of 10 EXHIBIT • UPPER FILIOR UMACQUISITION extensive adaptive management plan, particularly for the state- and federally-listed species that are the focus of the Subarea Plan. CONSISTENCY WITH LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM POLICIES: Although located outside the designated Coastal Zone within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property would be consistent with the mandates of the Coastal Act and the City's Coastal Specific Plan, as discussed in the September 25, 2008 staff recommendation (Exhibit 1). COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA: As specified in the earlier staff recommendation (Exhibit 1),the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)pursuant to Sections 15313 and 15325 of 14 Cal. Code of Regulations (CCR). Section 15313 exempts acquisition of lands for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and forreserving access to public lands and waters where the purpose of the acquisition is to p • preserve the land in its natural condition. The proposed project is similarly exempt pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15325 because it involves a transfer of ownership in order to preserve existing natural conditions and open space. Those exemptions are applicable to this project, even after analysis of any potential impacts relating to climate change. Recent legislation, an Attorney General's opinion, litigation and both interim CEQA guidance and proposed CEQA guidelines all demonstrate that any CEQA analysis by the Conservancy must now consider the climate change-related impacts of a project. In this instance, it is clear that the proposed project would not involve the generation of greenhouse gas emissions that could have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed project involves only the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property by the City. It does not include any construction, restoration or similar alterations to the landscape that might directly or indirectly involve the generation of greenhouse gas emissions. It is possible that the transfer of the Upper Filiorum site into public ownership could increase the attractiveness, and thus the potential use, of the informal social trails that are now on the property, and as a result increase the number of vehicle trips to the Preserve over those that are now made by visitors to the Preserve. But such an increase is very speculative and its extent cannot be reasonably calculated at this time. And the incremental contribution of any such trips and their effect on GHG emissions would not be cumulatively considerable, based on standards of practicality and reasonableness. Even under a worst-case analysis,this project is carbon neutral. Any resulting increase in greenhouse gas emissions that might result, directly or indirectly, from this acquisition would be offset by the ability of the vegetation on the site to sequester carbon, although the sequestration potential of the site is difficult to forecast at this point. The City has not yet mapped or cataloged the vegetation communities of the Upper Filiorum site in any precise way. In addition,there does not appear to be any generally-accepted formula for calculating the carbon sequestration rates of coastal sage scrub communities. But by preserving the site as habitat and open space--- Page 9 of 10 ti . - '111 IT e • 110 • UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UISITION and by protecting it in perpetuity from any future development---the City's acquisition of this property will contribute to the long-term reduction of overall emissions in the region. Upon Conservancy approval of the proposed authorization, staff will file a Notice of Exemption for the project.

Staff further recommends that the Conservancy adopt the following findings: "Based on the accompanying staff report and attached exhibits, the State Coastal Conservancy hereby finds that: 1. The proposed authorization is consistent with the purposes and objectives of Chapter 8 of Division 21 of the Public Resources Code (Sections 31350-31356)regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. 2. The proposed authorization is consistent with the current Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines." PROJECT SUMMARY: ' This project would provide funds to assist the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in acquiring approximately 219 acres of undeveloped property on the Palos Verdes Peninsula for habitat and open space preservation and limited compatible public access, in support of the City's Natural Communities Conservation Planning effort. The project would involve the purchase of two properties located on the hillside above Palos . Verdes Drive South, which are now held in common ownership: (a) The Upper Filiorum property, a 191.2-acre site consisting of APNs 7581-023-029 and 7572-002-022 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034. (b) The adjacent Plumtree/Cinnamon Lane property, consisting of a 27.42 acre estate homesite and .82-acre developable lot(APN 7572-010-023 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034)which are referred to here collectively as"the Plumtree property." The acquisition would connect two reserve components of the City's Palos Verdes Nature Preserve (the Preserve), a 1,400-acre preserve that is being assembled under a draft subarea plan that the City has prepared under the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) /ti c i •" rail A • Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendatl Act. (See Exhibit 3). This project will complete the acquisitions which the plan has proposed for the Preserve. (Once known as"the Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve,"the name of the Preserve was recently changed to the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve). As shown on Exhibit 4, the Upper Filiorum property and the downslope Plumtree site,whose northern boundary abuts that of the Upper Filiorum site, would link the Three Sisters Reserve (once known as the Barkentine property)on the west with the Portuguese Bend Reserve to the . east. Acquisition of these sites is considered critical for the long-term protection of coastal sage scrub habitat---habitat that supports the California gnatcatcher, Palos Verdes blue butterfly and other special status species. Their inclusion in the Preserve would also provide trail connections and habitat linkages to other components of the Preserve. The Upper Filiorum property is the last major segment of private property targeted by the draft NCCP subarea plan for acquisition and.inclusion in the Preserve. The plan originally identified Upper Filiorum,the 423-acre Portuguese Bend (or Hon)property, and the 43-acre Agua Amarga Canyon parcel as the major private lands to be purchased for the Preserve. The latter two properties were both acquired bythe City in 2005,with Coastal Conservancy and other funding. P q In May 2008,the City and the owners of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties entered into a purchase and sale agreement,under which the City is to acquire the Upper Filiorum property.for$9.2 million.A recent appraisal of the Upper Filiorum property,now under review by the Department of General Services, appraises the fair market value of the property at$9.5 million.The agreement also gives the City the option to purchase the Plumtree property for$3.0 million, an amount which a recent appraisal of the property has determined to be its fair market value. The agreement specifies that the close of escrow is to occur by December 31,2008, but may be extended to March 31, 2009, to allow the City to secure funding for the purchase. In addition to thero osed Conservancy funding for this project,the City anticipates receiving a p p $2 milliong rant from the Wildlife Conservation Board of federal funds that have been set aside for this acquisition by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The City will contribute $613,000 for the acquisition,with the balance of the purchase price(about$4.09 million)provided by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and private donors(See the"Project Financing" section below). Under theP roposed project,the City would acquire and own the land. Following the acquisition, the Citywould grant a conservation easement over both properties in favor of the Palos Verdes Land Peninsula Land Conservancy(PVPLC),which has entered into an interim agreement with the City to manage these and other units of the Preserve. The conservation easement would identifythe California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and the US Fish and Wildlife . . . Service(USFWS) as third party beneficiaries to enforce the provisions of the conservation easements. The PVPLC, USFWS and DFG have been working with the City for more than a decade to develop and implement an NCCP subarea plan that would provide for comprehensive conservation and management of multiple species within the City's portion of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. As the principal feature of that plan,the Preserve is designed to conserve regionally &Mama Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation e' important habitat areas and provide habitat linkages to benefit sensitive plants and wildlife. The plan has been written under the provisions of the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning Act of 1991 (California Fish and Game Code Section 2800 et seq), which promotes the preparation of subregional and subarea plans that address conservation and management on an ecosystem scale, while accommodating compatible land use and development. The intent of the law is to overcome the limitations of the single-species, project-by-project approach to conservation by planning proactively and comprehensively for the management and conservation of multiple species, including those listed under state or federal endangered species legislation. An NCCP plan is to provide for the regional protection of biodiversity by setting aside enough land to conserve intact ecosystems and their dependent species. In exchange, the plan defines with greater certainty where development would be allowed to occur, particularly on other property that might otherwise be subject to designation as critical habitat for a particular species. The NCCP program represents an effort to reconcile some of the common conflicts between wildlife conservation}'and land development. At the time it was created, both development interests and the conservation community had become increasingly dissatisfied with the reliance on agency consultations and single-species habitat conservation plans to address concerns over sensitive species. To the development community, addressing endangered species on the basis of one project at a time had become unnecessarily costly, burdensome, and unpredictable. To conservation groups, emphasizing only the impacts of individual projects failed to prevent the fragmentation of habitat and ecosystems. The NCCP process is supposed to benefit landowners by offering a more streamlined, predictable regulatory approach. Cumbersome project-by-project, species by-species review under state and federal endangered species statutes is to be replaced by comprehensive plans for an entire region that establish where development would be allowed to occur and under what conditions. For local government, on the other hand,the NCCP program offers the prospect of greater predictability and control over land development in its jurisdiction, as well as a mechanism to assemble biodiversity reserves that can also provide open space, aesthetic and recreational benefits Although created by state law,the NCCP program has been a joint state and federal effort; state and federal wildlife agencies collaborate in overseeing the planning process so that the plans can be approved simultaneously under the state NCCP act and the HCP provisions of the federal Endangered Species Act. But because one of its goals is to promote coordination among local government, developers, landowners, environmental groups, and other stakeholders in developing and implementing its plans,the NCCP program depends on the cooperation of a number of diverse interests. In Southern California, where most of the state's NCCP plans have been written, many(such as the Rancho Palos Verdes effort) have focused on coastal sage scrub communities and protection of the coastal California gnatcatcher. Since the gnatcatcher is dependent on coastal sage scrub habitat and nearly 80 percent of the remaining coastal sage scrub habitat in Southern California occurs on private land, these plans confront the conflicts of development-versus-wildlife in fairly stark terms. Yet the resulting NCCP plans in San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and tikExhibit : September 25, 2008 Staff Recommends San Bernardino counties have created reserves with large blocks of habitat and sought to protect or recover the connections between fragmented natural areas across a 6,000 sq mile area with 18 million people in one of the most heavily urbanizing areas in the country. The draft Palos Verdes subarea plan,which was approved by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council in 2004, focuses on the federally-listed, endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly,the endangered El Segundo blue butterfly,the threatened coastal California gnatcatcher, and Lyon's pentachaeta(an endangered plant), as well as the cactus wren (a state species of concern)and seven plant species cited by the California Native Plant Society as rare,threatened, endangered or of limited distribution in the state. The City's primary conservation strategy under the plan is to acquire several key privately owned parcels that are deemed regionally significant, dedicate selected City-owned lands to the Preserve, and then have the Palos Verdes Land Conservancy manage the ten Reserve components of the Preserve with the assistance of the City and the two wildlife agencies. The Preserve has been designed to conserve the most practicable amount of regionally-important habitat and provide adequate linkages between patches of conserved habitat. The City and the PVPLC also intend to restore certain habitat areas within the Preserve, emphasizing areas that would enhance habitat patch size and habitat linkage function. The restoration plan is to be developed by the PVPLC in consultation with the City and the wildlife agencies, focusing on restoration of coastal sage scrub, cactus scrub, and Palos Verdes blue butterfly habitat. The City and the PVPLC are also jointly developing a Public Use Master Plan(to be approved by the City Council and the two wildlife agencies)to address such issues as public access, trailhead locations, parking,trail use, fencing, and fire and brush management. Nearly 40 miles of informal trails exist within the Preserve, although only the Forrestal Reserve has a designated trails system with names and uses for each trail segment. As a result,the proposed Conservancy authorization will help enhance public access to and along the coast, in addition to protecting important coastal habitat and linkages. Informal trails on the two acquisition sites will connect with trails on adjoining properties to become part of the trail network that will be dedicated to public use within the Preserve. Site Description: The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is home to significant areas of undisturbed coastal sage scrub in the Portuguese Bend area and in scattered patches of its coastal bluffs and canyons. Its coastline is also important to the seasonal migration of many bird species along the Pacific Flyway.. The ecology of the Palos Verdes Peninsula(which in recent geologic time was actually an island)often bears striking relationships with that of the Channel Islands; in fact, the Peninsula is home to a number of resident plant and bird species that are otherwise endemic only to the Channel Islands. As the City's Coastal Specific Plan points out, "[t]hese similarities between the flora and fauna of the Peninsula and the Channel Islands make the natural vegetation of Rancho Palos Verdes a natural biological research laboratory for the study of geographical isolation and evolutionary change in species, island biogeography and ecological relationships, and many other topics of interest to scientists." The Palos Verdes Nature Preserve offers a diverse topography that varies from relatively flat '''° XiinsrF A • i v! Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation lowland areas above steep coastal bluffs in the south to very steep slopes, ridgelines and gullies on the slopes to the north. Elevations range from approximately sea level along the coastal edges of Vicente Bluffs, Abalone Cove and Ocean Trails to approximately 1,300 feet above mean sea level(MSL) at the northern-most parcel, Vista del Norte. Adjacent land uses include single- family residences on most sides, open space,the Pacific Ocean to the south and west,and two coastal golf courses near the western and eastern ends of the Preserve. Dominant species in the Preserve area include California sagebrush,California encelia, lemonadeberry,•ashy-leaf and California buckwheat, coyote bush, California desert thorn, black and purple sage, goldenbush, laurel sumac, and coast cholla.. A 2006 plant survey identified over 260 plant species within the Preserve,almost half of which are native to the region. Focused wildlife surveys have documented 270 coastal California gnatcatchers, including 72 breeding pairs, residing in the Preserve. One of the major ecological objectives for creating the Preserve is the recovery of the Palos Verdes blue butterfly(Glaucopsyche lygdamus paloverdesensis), a rare subspecies of the silvery blue butterfly. Its lifespan is extremely short, and its habitat is restricted to open coastal sage scrub that supports either ocean milk vetch or deerweed,which are the PV blue butterfly's larval food plants. Although historical occurrences of the PV blue butterfly have included a number of locations.;in the Preserve, currently the species is known to occur only at several isolated sites in the region, including the Naval Fuel Depot in San Pedro. A captive breeding program at Moorpark College is underway to reintroduce the PV blue butterfly to selected sites in the Preserve. The 191-acre Upper Filiorum property---the larger and more significant of the two properties proposed for acquisition---is located south and southwest of the southern end of Crenshaw Boulevard and the north side of Vanderlip Road. The property is bordered by residential estate subdivisions on the north,open hillsides to the west and east, and the private Portuguese Bend Community Association on the south. The northeast corner of Upper Filiorum is adjacent to the 17-acre Del Cerro Buffer, another component of the Preserve that acts as an ecological buffer to the City's Del Cerro Park. The Upper Filiorum property is characterized by gentle to steeply sloping terrain, ranging in elevation from about 1100 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the northeast section of the property to 475 above MSL in the southern portion of the site. The 28-acre Plumtree site is located downslope and adjacent to that property. Surface drainage on both properties flows generally south toward the Pacific, which is located less than a mile away. Although freshwater springs are known to exist in some portions of Upper Filiorum,there are no surface water bodies on the property. Two prominent natural drainages cross portions of the site, and the property offers excellent panoramic views of the coastline, the Pacific, and Catalina Island more than 30 miles away. As shown on Exhibit 5,the principal vegetation communities on the Upper Filiorum property are grassland, southern cactus scrub, and both undifferentiated and California sagebrush(Artemisia)-dominated coastal sage scrub. According to a 2000 Phase I Environmental Site assessment, much of the Upper Filiorum property was once utilized for agriculture, as evidenced by air photos dating back to 1928. Agricultural uses decreased over time and more recently the property has been in open space, llExhibi . September 25, 2008 Staff Recommends with a portion occasionally used for equestrian purposes. No other land uses are known to have occurred on the site. About half of the property is zoned RS-1 or RS-2 (single family residential). The greater Portuguese Bend area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is known for unstable soil conditions most notably manifested by earth movement, and all but approximately 15 acres of the Upper Filiorum property is included in a landslide moratorium area. Project History As noted above, the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning(NCCP)Act of 1991 provides for the preparation and implementation of large-scale natural conservation plans.The purpose of these plans is to identify and provide for the area-wide protection of natural wildlife diversity,while allowing for compatible and appropriate development and growth. Because of the relatively high concentration of coastal sage scrub habitat in the City, and the growing intensity of development pressures on these areas, in 1996 the City entered into a planning agreement with DFG and the USFWS to develop an NCCP subarea plan that would encompass the entire City. As an initial step,the City (as lead agency)was required to develop a landscape- scale database of biological resource and land-use information that would allow the City and the wildlife agencies to make informed land-use and conservation decisions about future projects. Since that time, the City and its partners have mapped existing vegetation communities,along with sensitive species distributions and their potential habitat, and applied that information to develop alternative designs for a proposed preserve. From three preliminary design alternatives presented to the City Council and the public in 2000-2001,the City selected a new alternative in 2002 as the basis for the plan. The Draft NCCP Subarea Plan was completed and made available to the public in June 2003,and a draft and then final EIR was prepared and adopted to assess the environmental impacts of implementing that plan.The Draft Subarea Plan, which was adopted by the Council in 2004, outlines the proposed NCCP Preserve,how the Preserve will be assembled and managed, and how much the implementation of the Plan would cost. The Subarea Plan establishes actions the City will take to obtain Section 10(a)take authorizations for covered species under the federal Endangered Species Act, including current and future management, maintenance and compatible uses of covered lands, as well as funding for habitat management. The plan also identifies the process for mitigating development on any habitat that is not to be conserved, and how permits and take authorizations will be obtained for covered species. The draft Subarea Plan, along with a draft implementing agreement among all four partners and a proposed preserve management agreement between the City and the PVPLC, is now under review by and discussion with DFG and USFWS.The City hopes to complete the NCCP by the end of this year, with a target date of March 2009 for final approvals by the City, PVPLC, CDFG and the USFWS. The creation of the City's NCCP Preserve relies on the dedication of existing public land and the acquisition of certain private holdings. To that end,the City and PVPLC have been successful in acquiring considerable acreages of privately held open space to create the Preserve. In December 2005, the City obtained title to 458 acres of additional lands---the Portuguese Bend and Agua 1AnusL'j • Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation Amarga Canyon properties---for dedication into the Preserve. With those acquisitions,the City currently owns 1,138.33 acres(or 80 percent)of the 1,42 8.27 acres that have been targeted to become the Preserve. The two acquisitions being proposed here would complete the Preserve. The Coastal Conservancy has been an active partner in these efforts for more than a decade. In March 1997, the Conservancy authorized a grant of$400,000 to the Wildlife Conservation Board toward the acquisition of the 163-acre Klondike Canyon property,which is now known as the Forrestal Reserve. And in October 2005, the Conservancy approved a grant of$1,550,000 to the City to help acquire the Portuguese Bend and Agua Amarga Canyon Reserves. The Conservancy has also contributed$100,000 to the renovation and development of the interpretive center at PVPLC's White Point Nature Preserve and recently awarded two other grants to the PVPLC totaling more than $268,000 for habitat restoration projects at Point Vicente Bluffs and McCarrell's Canyon.

Consistent with the purposes specified in Section 75060 of that bond d act,the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties would protect natural habitat values of coastal lands on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, as well as promote access to and enjoyment of the coastal resources of the state. In evaluating acquisition projects for the purpose of natural resource protection under Proposition 84, the Conservancy is directed by Section 75071 of the bond act to give priority to projects that meet one or more of the five criteria specified in Section 75071. Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties by the City would meet at least three of those criteria: ik" .10 A Exhibit : September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendat 1. "Properties that link to, or contribute to linking,existing protected areas with other large blocks of protected habitat. "[§75071(a)]. As discussed above, the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree sites would provide the necessary connection between the 98-acre Three Sisters Reserve with the 423-acre Portuguese Bend Reserve. 2. "Properties that support relatively large areas of under-protected major habitat types" [§75071(c)]. The proposed acquisition would help protect an important segment of coastal sage scrub, an ecological community whose losses in Southern California have exceeded 90 percent of its original extent. 3. "Properties for which there is a non-state matching contribution toward the acquisition, restoration, stewardship or management costs." [§75071(e)]. As shown above, the federal, local and private contribution towards these acquisitions would represent about 55 percent of the purchase price. As mandated by Section 75071(f)of the bond act,the Conservancy's staff has submitted to the Resources Agency, and posted on the Conservancy's website, an explanation of how the proposed acquisitions meet the criteria established in Section 75071. CONSISTENCY WITH'CONSERVANCY'S ENABLING LEGISLATION: The proposed project is consistent with Chapter 8 of the Conservancy's enabling legislation, Division 21 of the Public Resources Code(Sections 31350-31356),regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. PRC §31350 vests in the Conservancy the authority to ensure the reservation of significant coastal resource areas that would otherwise be lost to public use. Under Section 31351,the Conservancy is to cooperate with other public agencies [such as the City of Rancho Palos Verdes] to ensure the reservation of such properties for park, recreational and wildlife habitat purposes in order to meet the objectives of a certified local coastal plan or other local plan. As discussed below under the section "Consistency with Local Coastal Program Policies,"the acquisitions of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties would be consistent with the policies of the City's Coastal Specific Plan (1978, its certified local coastal plan). Those acquisitions would also help fulfill the objectives of the City's draft NCCP subarea plan. The proposed authorization would also be consistent with PRC §31352,which states that the Conservancy may award a grant to a public agency for a purpose specified in Section 31351 if (as is the case with this project)that agency is unable, due to limited financial resources,to acquire such property. Without the Conservancy funding proposed here,the City would lack the requisite funding to acquire the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S 2007 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S) & OBJECTIVE(S): Consistent with Goal 4,Objective A.of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan,the proposed project would protect over 219 acres of significant coastal watershed lands. Consistent with the strategies identified in the Strategic Plan,this project would connect existing protected lands to provide large,contiguous blocks of habitat; protect habitat and wildlife corridors; and help L/ 1I • • . o Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation implement a regional plan for natural resource protection. The City has been identified as an appropriate entity to own the property, and the PVPLC has been identified as the appropriate entity to manage it. Consistent with Goal 1,Objective G of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan,the proposed project would secure property that would facilitate development of inland connecting trails to the Coastal Trail. Consistent with Goal 5,Objective C of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan, the proposed project would preserve wildlife corridors between core habitat areas along the coastal slopes of • the Palos Verdes Peninsula. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA& GUIDELINES: The proposed project is consistent with the Conservancy's Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines, last updated on September 20, 2007, in the following respects: Required Criteria 1. Promotion of the Conservancy's statutory programs and purposes: See the above discussion on "Consistency with Conservancy's Enabling Legislation." 2. Consistency with purposes of the funding source: See the"Project Financing"section above. 3. Support of the public:The project is supported by Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, State Senator Edward Vincent, State Senator Alan Lowenthal, State Senator Jenny Oropeza,Assembly Member Betty Karnette, and US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, as well as a number of environmental organizations, community groups, and inland cities in the South Bay region of the Los Angeles Basin. Letters of support are provided in Exhibit 7. 4. Location: Although the proposed project is located outside the Coastal Zone, it would essentially complete the creation of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, which includes numerous reserve components that«are4l®eated-within the Coastal Zone (Exhibit 3).These parcels include Shoreline Park, which includes a coastal access trail and a planned segment of the Coastal Trail. In addition, conservation of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties would benefit coastal resources by protecting coastal drainages and providing habitat to special status species that are dependent on areas in the Coastal Zone. 5. Need: Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties is needed to complete the implementation of the City's NCCP and to provide a critical linkage between core habitat areas that are already protected under the Plan. Without funding from the Coastal Conservancy, this acquisition would not•be possible in time to exercise the City's rights under its purchase and sale agreement with the sellers. 6. Greater-than-local interest: This project will add to and connect with other components of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The Preserve is the focal point for numerous nature walks for the community, as well as science and natural history educational programs conducted by iivitMIIJ ■ rti A teExhibit : September 25, 2008 Staff Recommends the PLPVC in association with regional K-12 schools, colleges and universities; it attracts visitors from all over the Los Angeles area,a metropolitan region of more than 17 million people, particularly from inland communities in the South Bay area, many of which have little or no park or open space. In addition,the Preserve provides critical habitat for a number of special status species---such as the California gnatcatcher and Palos Verdes blue butterfly----whose survival and recovery are of regional, statewide and national significance. Additional Criteria 7. Urgency: The City has been advised that if the purchase of the Upper Filiorum property does not occur soon,the City will risk losing $2 million of federal funds that were set aside four years ago for this acquisition by the Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition,the Purchase and sale agreement specifies that the acquisition must close no later than March 31,2009. 8. Resolution of more than one issue: Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties will address coastal and watershed resource protection,habitat restoration, endangered species recovery, and public recreation and access. 9. Leverage: See the"Project Financing" section above. 10. Innovation. The development and implementation of the City's NCCP Subarea Plan has demonstrated an exemplary approach to protecting a core of key coastal habitats in a rapidly urbanizing area of Southern California. 11.Readiness: The City and the sellers have negotiated a purchase and sale agreement for the properties and are prepared to close on their sale by the end of the First Quarter 2009 if adequate funding can be secured. 11. Realization of prior Conservancy goals: For over a decade,the Coastal Conservancy has been involved in helping purchase and protect components of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The Conservancy helped fund acquisition of the Forrestal Preserve with a grant to the Wildlife Conservation Board in 1997, and it helped fund acquisition of the 424-acre • Portuguese Bend Preserve and 39-acre Agua Amarga Canyon Preserve with a grant to the City in 2005. Since that time it has also provided grants to the PVPLC for development of an interpretative center and several habitat restoration projects, including one at the Point Vicente Bluffs Reserve. 12. p Cooperation: The Rancho Palos Verdes NCCP is a cooperative venture among the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy,the California Department of Fish and Game, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. CONSISTENCY WITH LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM POLICIES: The proposed project is located outside the designated Coastal Zone within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, a narrow band that generally extends inland only to Palos Verdes Drive,the first main thoroughfare along the City's 7.5 mile coastline. Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties, however, would be consistent with the mandate in Section 30140 of the Coastal Act to protect environmentally sensitive habitat areas. In addition, it would complement protections mandated by the City's Coastal Specific Plan(1978; its local coastal plan) for sensitive wildlife habitat, natural vegetation, and preservation corridors in the Coastal Zone. For XkttasiT • . • Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation RANCHO PAL OS VERDES ACQUISITIONS example, policy CRM-10 of that Plan specifies that"[t]the existing natural vegetation of Rancho Palos Verdes is a major component of the environmental character of the City. The open natural hillsides are visibly apparent and create an atmosphere of a hilly rural community. The retention of wild flowers, low coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and grassland communities is desirable as is revegetation with native material wherever clearing of vegetation is required." COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA: The acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property and the Plumtree property is each categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)pursuant to Sections 15313 and 15325 of 14 Cal. Code of Regulations (CCR). Section 15313 exempts acquisition of lands for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and for preserving access to public lands and waters where the purpose of the acquisition is to preserve the land in its natural condition.The proposed project is similarly exempt pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15325 because it involves a transfer of ownership in order to preserve existing natural conditions and open space. Upon Conservancy approval of the proposed authorization, staff will file a Notice of Exemption for the project.

The property is comprised of 190 acres known as Upper Filiorum and 28 acres known as Plumtree. These two real properties will link existing areas already preserved as the Nature Preserve. The beauty of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is well-known to me. I am an alumnus of Palos Verdes High School, and my family and I resided in the area for many years. The Palos Verdes spectacular coastline stretches along the Pacific to Huntington Beach and comprises one of the more unique parts of my congressional district. Acquisition of the 218 acres will provide contiguous land that will allow wildlife to move freely through open spaces. Furthermore,native habitat will be restored to promote the repopulation of species such as the rare Palos Verdes blue butterfly. The Portuguese Bend Nature Reserve enjoys deep community support. Last year, volunteers from the entire south bay area contributed over 9,000 hours of work. In 2005, they raised over$4 million to help acquire undeveloped land. • May I urge the Coastal Conservancy to support the Rancho Palos Verdes acquisition so that we may keep this marvelous,natural resource available to future generations? Yours sincerely, t0"0.

My reasons for supporting it include: o This land will connect two existing nature areas that have already been preserved. It will form a nature corridor that will allow wildlife to move freely through the expanded Preserve. Over timethenative habitat will be restored and help the repopulation of the area which is home to several endangered threatened species such as the very rare Palos Verdes blue butterfly. Several of the trails which go across this area and have been closed for the past several years will be re-opened to the public. o The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy has preserved over 1200 acres of undeveloped land on the Peninsula. This spectacular coastline nature preserve, with ocean views will grow to 1400 acres and be kept open to the public in perpetuity. kAhiLril .1' A Exhibi . September 25,2008 Staff Recommendati o The community actively supports the Conservancy. Volunteers from the community, who come from all over the South Bay, including much of my constituency, provided over 9,000 hours volunteer work in 2007. o The PVPLC's 3rd grade education program has brought over 10,000 students from 19 schools on to the preserves over the past ten years. o This additional open space will afford even more opportunities to expand the Conservancy's outreach programs. This past school year, in conjunction with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps, the Conservancy brought 500 middle-school children from South Los Angeles to the Preserves to teach them about the natural sciences. I strongly support your effort to acquire this critical piece of land for open space. Sincerely, Edward Vincent Member of the Senate 251h District '8,:itak .

I support the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy's efforts to increase the amount of open space by acquiring undeveloped land from York and Associates. This land is one of the last major parcels of undeveloped land in the area. In particular I support their efforts to reach out to the children in the South Bay and beyond with their education programs in the natural sciences. Their 3rd grade education program brings more than 1400 elementary school children from 19 schools to four in-class sessions and a visit to a local green area every year. I appreciate this outreach effort, since Wood Elementary School in Torrance and Bonita Elementary School in Carson both participate in this program. I am also pleased that the Conservancy is working with the LA Conservation Corps to bring middle schoolchildren from South Los Angeles in the Los Angeles Unified School District to the Preserves to introduce them to the natural sciences. -The first group of students from Markham Junior High in Watts visited the Preserves this spring and so far more than 160 students have participated in the program. We would certainly welcome a grant from the State Coastal Conservancy in support for the much needed addition of open space in the area.

These preserves not only nurture and restore rare native coastal habitat but also insures public access to the properties.

As a former member of the Board of Directors of the Conservancy and a current member of the City Council, I am very familiar with, and strongly support, the efforts of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and the City to preserve open space on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. They have also dedicated themselves to restoring the native habitat and have implemented a number of valuable education and science programs for our children —from natural science programs for third graders to high school and university level research projects. In addition to 9 bringing 1400 3rd graders from 19 schools on to the Preserves every year, 9 the Conservancy, partnering with the LA Conservation Corps, has brought 500 middle school children from South Los Angeles to the Preserve to explore the natural sciences. Strong community support for these acquisitions was demonstrated by the Conservancy's successful fund raising of over $4 million from the public to acquire land in 2005, which the City is placing in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. This land is available for all of the public to enjoy. /t 0 i...1`A' ...i....).N BLVD I.A'4c_i4r_ P A': VFRDE: 2 902/5-b3911( 10 544-52W.; f FAA C3101544-S? 1 :t. .i _ .w„ .,..eL' /11.E r`• ��FF1 r •1 BLVD. ,i. .� L� �.. .1.�.�, ..11-l�+-Z'tj r 1. t�l#, ..•�. .... .L..� r .�1 �1..�� _ V:..'J �..�..

Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommendati Mr. Douglas Bosco, Chairman August 4, 2008 Page 2 The City Council fully supports the planned acquisition of one of the last major parcels of undeveloped land in the area and has committed $613,000 of City funds toward that purpose. The urch'ase of this remaining land will represent the culmination of 20 years of P work to create the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. It will also allow for the re-opening of trails that have been closed to the public for several years. This land also is strategically important, because it connects the existing land that already has been acquired for the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve and will provide a natural wildlife . corridor that will aid in the repopulation of native plants and animals in this area. These endangered and threatened species include the rare Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and the California Gnatcatcher. The City very much supports the acquisition of this additional land for open space,which will be. - wildlife and be kept open to the public, forever. • inc.. - 1/077 - )tc).. RECE!VED Douglas W.

Since each State agency with which you do business must have a separate STD. 204 on file, it is possible for a payee to receive this form from various State agencies. Payees who do not wish to complete the STD.204 may elect to not do business with the State.If the payee does not complete the STD.204 and the required payee data is not otherwise provided,payment may be reduced for federal backup withholding and nonresident State income tax withholding. Amounts reported on Information Returns(1099)are in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and the California Revenue and Taxation Code. 2 Enter the payee's legal business name. Soleproprietorships must also include the owner's full name. An individual must list his/her full name.The pY 9 mailing address should be the address at which the payee chooses to receive correspondence.Do not enter payment address or lock box information here. 3 Cheek the box that corresponds to the payee business type. Check only one box. Corporations must check the box that identifies the type of corporation. The State of California requires that all parties entering into business transactions that may lead to payment(s)from the State provide their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). The TIN is required by the;California Revenue and Taxation Code SEction 18646 to facilitate tax compliance enforcement activities and the preparation of Form 1099 and other information returns as required by the internal Revenue Code Section 6109(a). The TIN for individuals and sole proprietorships is the Social Security Number(SSN).Only partnerships,estates,trusts, and corporations will enter their Federal Employer identification Number(FEIN). 4 Are you a California resident or nonresident? A corporation will be defined as a"resident"if it has a permanent place of business in California or is qualified through the Secretary of State to do business in California. A partnership is considered a resident partnership if it has a permanent place of business in California.An estate is a resident if the decedent was a California resident at time of death.A trust is a resident if at least one trustee is a California resident. For individuals and sole proprietors,the term"resident"includes every individual who is in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose and any individual domiciled in California who is absent for a temporary or transitory purpose. Generally,an individual who comes to California for a purpose that will extend over a long or indefinite period will be considered a resident. However, an individual who comes tQ perform a particular contract of short duration will be considered a nonresident.

Staff further recommends that the Conservancy adopt the following findings: "Based on the accompanying staff report and attached exhibits,the State Coastal Conservancy hereby finds that: . 1. The proposed authorization is consistent with the purposes and objectives of Chapter 8 of Division 21 of the Public Resources Code(Sections 31350-31356)regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. 2. The proposed authorization is consistent with the current Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines." PROJECT SUMMARY: This project would provide funds to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes(the "City)to acquire approximately 160.5 acres of the Upper Filiorum property(the"Filiorum Tract")in order to implement the City's Natural Communities Conservation Plan.As part of the transaction, the seller will donate the remaining 29.4 acres of the Upper Filiorum property(the"Donation Tract"), resulting in conservation of 190 acres of undeveloped property on the Palos Verdes Peninsula for habitat and open space preservation and limited compatible public access. On September 25, 2008, the Conservancy authorized a grant of up to $5.5 million to the City to enable it to purchase the entire 190-acre Upper Filiorum Property, as well as an adjacent 27-acre site, known as the Plumtree property, for which the City held an option to purchase(see Exhibit 1). The state's funding crisis and resulting freeze on state bond funds,however,prevented the City from closing on either acquisition by the March 30, 2009 deadline imposed in its original purchase and sale agreement. The City has now renegotiated the acquisition with the seller. Although the City has lost the opportunity to purchase the Plumtree property, its new agreement with the seller allows the City to acquire,through purchase and donation, the entire Upper Filiorum property at a savings of$2.7 million over the purchase price in its earlier agreement. The current project would involve the City's purchase of 160.5 acres of the Upper Filiorum property, consisting of Los Angeles County Assessor Parcel Number 7581-023-029 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034, outlined on Exhibits 2 and 4 as"the Filiorum Tract." The purchase price for that acreage will be $6.5 million. The Filiorum Tract is located on the hillside above Palos Verdes Drive South and owned by the seller, York Long Point Associates, L.P. Simultaneously with the close of escrow on the City's purchase, the seller would donate to the Page 2 of 10 Resolution No.2009-83 12 of 57 EAnilin • ' UPPER FILIORUMACQUISITION City the Donation Tract, the remaining 29.4 acres of the Upper Filiorum property,which consists of APN 7572-002-022 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034. In return,the seller would receive certain mitigation credits for the potential residential development of an adjacent property that is located outside of the City's NCCP Preserve. The Filiorum Tract is located below the southern end of Crenshaw Boulevard. The Donation Tract is located southeast of the Filiorum Tract,near Plumtree Road and Cinnamon Lane(see Exhibits 2 and 3). Because of severe slopes,about 107 acres total of both Tracts is zoned Open Space Hazard, a designation that generally permits only limited recreational use without permanent structures. The balance of each Tract is zoned residential: about 70 acres total of both Tracts is zoned RS-1 (one unit per one-acre lot), while the remaining 13 acres is zoned RS-2 (which permits two residences per one-acre lot). The revised project differs from the previously approved project in both the amount of acreage that the City would acquire for inclusion in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve and the price it would pay to acquire.the Upper Filiorum site. The project that was originally reviewed by the Conservancy a year ago involved the City's outright purchase of the entire Upper Filiorum property for$9.2 million, along with its option to purchase the smaller Plumtree property for $3.0 million. This staff recommendation updates the previous Conservancy authorization to reflect the revised transaction. As with the earlier project,this acquisition would connect two reserve components of the City's Palos Verdes Nature Preserve(the Preserve), a 1,400-acre preserve that is being assembled under a plan being prepared under the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning(NCCP) Act. (See the maps and photos attached as exhibits to Exhibit 1). The Upper Filiorum property would link the Three Sisters Reserve on the west with the Portuguese Bend Reserve to the east and provide a critical linkage between habitats that support the California gnatcatcher,Palos Verdes blue butterfly, and other special status species. Upper Filiorum is the last major segment of private property for acquisition and inclusion in the Preserve under the City's draft NCCP plan. The plan originally identified Upper Filiorum,the 423-acre Portuguese Bend(or Hon) property, and the 43-acre Agua Amarga Canyon parcel as the major private lands to be purchased for the Preserve. The latter two properties were both acquired by the City in 2005, with Coastal Conservancy and other funding. The City would acquire and own the 190 acres of the Upper Filiorum Property and add it to the Preserve. Concurrently with the acquisition,the City would grant a conservation easement over the property in favor of the Palos Verdes Land Peninsula Land Conservancy(PVPLC), which • has entered into an interim agreement with the City to manage the Preserve. The conservation easement would identify the California Department of Fish and Game as a third party beneficiary to enforce the provisions of the easement. The City and the owner of the Upper Filiorum property have entered into a purchase and sale agreement,under which the City is to purchase the Filiorum Tract for$6.5 million and the seller will donate the Donation Tract to the City in return for certain mitigation credits on the potential development of adjacent property. In addition to the proposed Conservancy funding for this project, the City will contribute$600,000 for the acquisition,with the $400,000 balance of the purchase price provided by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and private donors Page 3 of 10 Resoluti • 13of57IT A • UPPER FILICR UMACQUISITION (See the"Project Financing"section below). The September 25,2008 staff recommendation(Exhibit 1)outlines the development of the City's NCCP Preserve program, as well as the legal basis for that effort. It also describes the Upper Filiorum site and environmental setting, as well as the habitats and ecological communities that the City and its partners are seeking to conserve through this acquisition. The following section describes the changes to the project and the circumstances that generated them. . SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT HISTORY . Within weeks after the Conservancy authorized funding for the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree acquisitions last September,two events altered the dynamics of the project. The first was a court decision invalidating certain land-use restrictions on the Palos Verde§Peninsula. The second was the State's freeze on bond funding. The Monks decision: The Portuguese Bend section of the Palos Verdes Peninsula has an extensive history of unstable soil conditions, active landslides and other mass movement. In 1978,the City adopted a moratorium on the construction of new homes in the vicinity of a recent landslide,but established a process to allow owners of undeveloped lots to seek an exclusion from the moratorium. At the suggestion of the City's geologist,the City divided the moratorium area into eight separate zones,which differ in their geologic stability and in their proximity to active landslide areas. Zone 1---in which the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties are located--- consists of 550 acres at the top of the moratorium area and was characterized by the City's geologist in 1993 as one "unaffected by large historic landslides. . ." Located below Zone 1 is Zone 2: 130 acres that he similarly described as"unaffected by large historic landslides."In contrast,the remaining zones located to the south and east of Zones 1 and 2 encompass the areas of active or recent landslide activity(see Exhibit 5). In 2002,the City amended the moratorium ordinance to clarify the geologic standard that must • be satisfied for a landowner to develop property within any of the Zones. Several owners of residentially-zoned vacant lots in Zone 2---some of whom had been waiting decades for approval to build homes on their properties---then sued the City, alleging inverse condemnation under the takings clause of the California constitution. After five years of litigation that included two trial court decisions and an intervening appellate court ruling,the Second District Court of Appeal found for the property owners, concluding that the City's moratorium deprived them of all economically beneficial use of their property and as a result constituted a permanent taking. [Monks v. City of Rancho Palos Verdes, 167 Cal.App 4th 263, 84 Cal.Rptr.3d 75 (2008).] The lower court had held that the City's ordinance was reasonable on several grounds, but the Court of Appeal disagreed. The trial court had found that the moratorium was not"permanent," since the plaintiffs could have sought an exclusion from the moratorium through the city's administrative process, albeit only by proving the stability of geologic conditions across all of Zone 2 through extensive(and extremely expensive) geotechnical studies. The appellate court said such an exercise was futile, since"the plaintiffs should not be required to pay between $500,000 and $1 million to conduct a study in an attempt to prove what the city would not Page 4 of 10 Resolution No.2009-83 14 of 57 EXHIBIT • UPPER FILIOR UMACQUISITION believe." The trial court had also held that City was justified under state nuisance law in responding to the risk of significant land movement by restricting development in the moratorium area; -But the-Court.of Appeahaid-that for the City to prevail on those grounds, it . would have had to demonstrate that the construction of homes on plaintiffs' lots would pose a significant harm to persons or property,which the City had failed to do. Block glides, such as those on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,the Court of Appeal said,are"large blocks of earth that move slowly along a single plane"and generally present no risk of harm to people. According to the Court of Appeal,the City had not argued that construction on plaintiffs' lots was likely to damage the property of others or to cause a block glide by weakening the stability of Zone 2. The Court of Appeal also found that the evidence at trial failed to establish a reasonable probability of personal injury or property damage, other than the possibility that the homes the plaintiffs wanted to build could be damaged in the distant future— damage that could then be repaired. The appellate court noted that the City's own conduct in approving additions to existing homes in Zone 2 from 1988 to 2005 was inconsistent with its assertion that construction on the plaintiffs lots would be detrimental to public safety. As a consequence, the Court of Appeal said, '[t]he risk of property damage and personal injury . . . is not sufficient in any practical sense to justify applying the moratorium to plaintiffs' lots." Although the City appealed the decision of the Court of Appeal,the Supreme Court of California __declined Wiesie .it. - _ -._.._..._-- _...... .. ..... ._._ . .. ..._ The Monks decision had immediate,implications for the City's proposed acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties. First, it called into question the development potential of property located within the moratorium area,which had usually been considered to be severely limited. By doing so, it also called into question assumptions about the value of that property. Second,the Monks decision caused the seller of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties, York Long Point Associates L.P.,to reevaluate the economic wisdom of selling the Plumtree property to the City for inclusion in the Preserve.. If the moratorium ordinance constituted a permanent taking as applied to property within Zone 2., then it seemed likely that a court would apply a similar reasoning to property within Zone 1, further removed from any known historic landslide activity,where the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties were both located. The State bond freeze On December 18, 2008 (a day after the state Supreme Court declined to review the Monks decision)the state Department of Finance issued a budget letter(08-33) directing all state entities with expenditure control over bond-funded programs to suspend projects funded with state bond monies and to"cease authorizing any new grants or obligations for bond projects, including new phases for existing projects." That order effectively froze or blocked much of the funding which the City was relying on to buy the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties. As the September 25, 2008 staff recommendation outlines,the City had planned to use not only the Coastal Conservancy grant,but also $2.0 million in USFWS funds from the Wildlife Conservation Board to help fund the acquisitions. The budget letter directive froze the Coastal Conservancy's contribution; it also prevented the WCB (which had not yet authorized its funding)from considering its grant to the City. The bond freeze thus created a serious dilemma for the City: its purchase and sale agreement with the seller required the City to close on the Page 5 of 10 Resolutio •s• 15of57 t` la IT I UPPER FILIOR UM A CQ UIS'ITION purchase by March 30,2009. But with state funds frozen,the only alternatives available were foundation and other private monies,which the City and the PVPLC weren't able to raise in time. When the purchase and sale-agreement expired,the seller withdrew both its offer to sell the Upper Filiorum property to the City for$9.2 million, as well as the City's option to purchase the Plumtree property for$3.0 million. • After failing to close on the acquisitions by March 30,the City began a new round of discussions with the seller to secure a feasible alternative to the original project. By that time,the seller had concluded that, in light of the Monks decision,it could probably obtain development entitlements on the Plumtree lots and as a result,the value of those lots was much greater than the$3.0 million for which it had previously offered to sell the property to the City. The City ultimately concluded that the seller's new asking price for the Plumtree property greatly exceeded the property's potential habitat value for the Preserve. And so the parties focused instead on renegotiating a new agreement for only the Upper Filiorum property. The revised purchase and sale agreement The City and the seller have negotiated a new agreement under which the City is to purchase the 160.5-acre Filiorum Tract for$6.5 million on or before December 31,2009. At the closing,the seller will then donate to the City the 29.4 acre Donation Tract. The seller,which has filed an application with the City for residential development on the Plumtree property,will then be credited with mitigation for the loss of potential habitat as a result of any such development. The City, DFG and USFWS have evaluated the amount of coastal sage scrub and grassland habitat that would be lost if the Plumtree property were completely developed and have determined that the dedication of the 30-acre Donation Tract would fully mitigate for the loss of habitat present on the Plumtree property. The terms of the purchase and sale agreement provide that the seller would not be required in the future to donate additional land or money for conservation purposes to compensate for the loss of habitat on the Plumtree property as a result of its development. Because the seller's permit applications are subject to discretionary review,however,the agreement is not a guaranty that York Long Point will be allowed to develop the Plumtree Property or that the City would not require any additional mitigation or dedication of land for other purposes, such as conditioning seller's project on installation of a new fire access road. The parties have also had the Upper Filiorum property reappraised as of June 30, 2009. The appraisal includes the agreed and supportable assumption that the reasoning in the Monks decision would extend and apply to properties within Zone 1 (which is further distant from historic landslide activity)and, as a result, permit a landowner to pursue development approvals under the City's standard discretionary-review processes.

Consistent with the purposes specified in Section 75060 of that bond act,the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property would protect natural habitat values of coastal lands on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,as well as promote access to and enjoyment of the coastal resources of the state. In evaluating acquisition projects for the purpose of natural resource protection under Proposition 84, the Conservancy is directed by Section 75071 of the bond act to give priority to projects that meet one or more of the five criteria specified in Section 75071. Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property by the City would meet at least three of those criteria: 1. "Properties that link to, or contribute to linking,existing protected areas with other large blocks of protected habitat. . ." [§75071(a)]. As discussed above, the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum site would provide the necessary connection between the 98-acre Three Sisters Reserve with the 423-acre Portuguese Bend Reserve. 2. "Properties that support relatively large areas of under-protected major habitat types" [§75071(c)]. The proposed acquisition would help protect an important segment of coastal sage scrub, an ecological community whose losses in Southern California have exceeded 90 percent of its original extent. 3. "Properties for which there is a non-state matching contribution toward the acquisition, restoration, stewardship or management costs." [§75071(e)]. As shown above,the local and private contribution towards these acquisitions would represent more than 15 percent of the purchase price. As also mandated by Section 75071(f)of the bond act, Conservancy staff has submitted to the Resources Agency, and has posted on the Conservancy's website, an explanation of how the proposed acquisitions meet the criteria established in Section 75071. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S ENABLING LEGISLATION: As discussed in the earlier staff recommendation(Exhibit 1),funding for the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property is consistent with Chapter 8 of the Conservancy's enabling legislation, Division 21 of the Public Resources Code(Sections 31350-31356),regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S 2007 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S) & OBJECTIVE(S): The proposed project would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan, as described in the September 25, 2008 staff recommendation(Exhibit 1). Page 7 of 10 Resolution No.2009-83 17of57 lain IMF I 110 • UPPER FILIORUMACQUISITION CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S CLIMATE-CHANGE POLICY The proposed project is consistent with Coastal Conservancy Policy Statement on Climate Change,adopted on June 4,2009,which recognizes that"protection,restoration, and enhancement of habitats, ecosystem processes, and open space is essential to minimizing threats from global warming to California's biodiversity. . ." By securing a significant linkage between existing habitat areas on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,the proposed acquisition will protect potential migration corridors,promote the survival of listed and other native species and biodiversity,and help preserve key ecosystem processes within the Preserve. In addition,the Policy directs Conservancy staff to consider climate change in evaluating which projects to fund and the manner in which projects are selected. Staff has taken into account the relevant considerations in connection with its proposal for funding the acquisition of the Filiorum Tract, as detailed in the"CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA& GUIDELINES"section,below. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA& GUIDELINES: The September 25, 2008 staff recommendation(Exhibit 1)discusses in detail how the proposed acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property is consistent with the Conservancy's Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines, dated September 20,2007,that then applied to the project. The Coastal Conservancy Policy Statement on Climate Change and revised Project Selection Criteria, adopted by the Conservancy on June 4, 2009, include three.new criteria intended to address greenhouse gas emissions, vulnerability to sea level rise and other climate change impacts. The revised project is consistent with each of those three new criteria, as well as each of the criteria that were reviewed in the earlier staff recommendation: Reauired Criteria Sea level rise vulnerability: The elevation of the Upper Filiorum site ranges from 475 feet above mean sea level(MSL)along its southern boundary to 1100 feet above MSL in its northeastern corner. As a result,the property is not located in an area considered vulnerable to future sea level rise by the end of this century. Additional Criteria: Minimization of greenhouse gas emissions: The proposed project involves only a transfer of title to existing open space and would therefore not directly contribute to the generation of greenhouse gas emissions. As this report discusses in more detail in its section on"Consistency with CEQA,"the preservation of the Upper Filiorum property as habitat and open space will help sequester carbon on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, although in amounts that are difficult to estimate at this time. Vulnerability from climate change impacts other than sea level rise: In preparing and implementing their final Subarea Management Plan for the property,the City and its project partners on the Palos Verdes Preserve intend to adopt robust adaptation measures and strategies to address potential impacts of climate change. Those measures will include monitoring change in the landscape over time,managing and eradicating invasive species, and implementing an Page 8 of 10 Resolution No.2009-83 18 of 57 ky lliRT A • UPPER FILIOR UMACQUISITION extensive adaptive management plan,particularly for the state-and federally-listed species that are the focus of the Subarea Plan. CONSISTENCY WITH LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM POLICIES: Although located outside the designated Coastal Zone within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property would be consistent with the mandates of the Coastal Act and the City's Coastal Specific Plan,as discussed in the September 25,2008 staff recommendation (Exhibit 1). COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA: As specified in the earlier staff.recommendation(Exhibit 1),the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)pursuant to Sections 15313 and 15325 of 14 Cal. Code of Regulations (CCR). Section 15313 exempts acquisition of lands for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and forreserving access to public lands and waters where the purpose of the acquisition is to p . preserve the land in its natural condition. The proposed project is similarly exempt pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15325 because it involves a transfer of ownership in order to preserve existing natural conditions and open space. Those exemptions are applicable to this project,even after analysis of any potential impacts relating to climate change. Recent legislation, an Attorney General's opinion, litigation and both interim CEQA guidance and proposed CEQA guidelines all demonstrate that any CEQA analysis by the Conservancy must now consider the climate change-related impacts of a project. In this instance, it is clear that the proposed project would not involve the generation of greenhouse gas emissions that could have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed project involves only the acquisition of the Upper Filiorurn property by the City. It does not include any construction,restoration or similar alterations to the landscape that might directly or indirectly involve the generation of greenhouse gas emissions. It is possible that the transfer of the Upper Filiorum site into public ownership could increase the attractiveness,and thus the potential use, of the informal social trails that are now on the property, and as a result increase the number of vehicle trips to the Preserve over those that are now made by-visitors to the Preserve. But such an increase is very speculative and its extent cannot be reasonably calculated at this time. And the incremental contribution of any such trips and their effect on GHG emissions would not be cumulatively considerable,based on standards of practicality and reasonableness. Even under a worst-case analysis,this project is carbon neutral. Any resulting increase in greenhouse gas emissions that might result, directly or indirectly, from this acquisition would be offset by the ability of the vegetation on the site to sequester carbon, although the sequestration potential of the site is difficult to forecast at this point. The City has not yet mapped or cataloged the vegetation communities of the Upper Filiorum site in any precise way. In addition,there does not appear to be any generally-accepted formula for calculating the carbon sequestration rates of coastal sage scrub communities. But by preserving the site as habitat and open space--- Page 9 of 10 Resolution No.2009-83 19 of 57 ID UPPER FILIORUMACQUISITION and by protecting it in perpetuity from any future development---the City's acquisition of this property will contribute to the long-term reduction of overall emissions in the region. Upon Conservancy approval of the proposed authorization, staff will file a Notice of Exemption for the project. • • Page 10 of 10 Resolution No.2009-83 20 of 57 RIUTRT • Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommenden COASTAL CONSERVANCY Staff Recommendation September 25,2008 • RANCHO PALOS VERDES NCCP: UPPER FILIORUM AND PLUMTREE ACQUISITIONS File No.05-071-02 Project.Manager: Bob Thiel RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorization to disburse up to$5,500,000 to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to acquire the 191-acre Upper Filiorum property and 28-acre Plumtree property on the Palos Verdes Peninsula to assist in implementing the City's Natural Communities Conservation Plan.

Staff further recommends that the Conservancy adopt the following findings: "Based on the accompanying staff report and attached exhibits,the State Coastal Conservancy hereby finds that: 1. The proposed authorization is consistent with the purposes and objectives of Chapter 8 of Division 21 of the Public Resources Code(Sections 31350-31356)regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. 2. The proposed authorization is consistent with the current Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines." • PROJECT SUMMARY: This project would provide funds to assist the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in acquiring approximately 219 acres of undeveloped property on the Palos Verdes Peninsula for habitat and open space preservation and limited compatible public access, in support of the City's Natural Communities Conservation Planning effort. The project would involve the purchase of two properties located on the hillside above Palos . Verdes Drive South, which are now held in common ownership: (a) The Upper Filiorum property, a 191.2-acre site consisting of APNs 7581-023-029 and 7572-002-022 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034. (b) The-adjacent Plumtree/Cinnamon Lane property,consisting of a 27.42 acre estate homesite and .82-acre developable lot(APN 7572-010-023 and a portion of APN 7581-023-034)which are referred to here collectively as"the Plumtree property." The acquisition would connect two reserve components of the City's Palos Verdes Nature Preserve(the Preserve), a 1,400-acre preserve that is being assembled under a draft subarea plan that the City has prepared under the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning(NCCP) Resolution No.2009-83 22 of 57 • Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommends n Act. (See Exhibit 3). This project will complete the acquisitions which the plan has proposed for the Preserve. (Once known as"the Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve,"the name of the Preserve was recently changed to the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve). As shown on Exhibit 4, the Upper Filiorum property and the downslope Plumtree site,whose northern boundary abuts that of the Upper Filiorum site,would link the Three Sisters Reserve (once known as the Barkentine property)on the west with the Portuguese Bend Reserve to the east. Acquisition of these sites is considered critical for the long-term protection of coastal sage . scrub habitat—habitat that supports the California gnatcatcher,Palos Verdes blue butterfly and other special status species. Their inclusion in:the Preserve would also provide trail connections and habitat linkages to.other components of the Preserve. The Upper FiliOrum:property is the last major segment of private property targeted by the draft NCCP subarea plan for acquisition and.inclusion in the Preserve. The plan originally identified Upper Filiorum,the 423-acre Portuguese Bend(or Hon).property,and the 43-acre Agua Amarga Canyon parcel as the-major private lands to be purchased far.the Preserve. The latter two properties were both.acquired by the City in 2005,with Coastal Conservancy and other funding. In May 2008,..the City and:the owners of the Upper.Filiorum;and Plumtree properties entered into a purchase and sale.agreement,under which the City is to acquire the Upper Filiorum property.for.$9.2;nil lion.A recent appraisal:of the:Upper Fi l iornm property,now under review by the Department of General Services,appraises the fair market value of the property at$9.5 million.The agreement also gives the City the option to purchase the Plumtree property for$3.0 million,an amount which a recent appraisal of the property has determined to be its,fair market value. The agreement specifies that the close of'escrow is to occur by.December 31,2008,but may be extended:to March 31,2009,to allow the City to secure funding for the purchase. In addition:.to the proposed Conservancy funding for thisiproject,the Pity anticipates receiving a $2 million grant from the Wildlife Conservation:Board of federal funds that have been set aside for this acquisition-by the US:Fish and Wildlife Service. The City will contribute$613,000 for the acquisition,with the balance of the purchase price(about$4.09 million)provided by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and private donors(See the"Project Financing" section below). Under the proposed project,the City would acquire and own the land. Following the acquisition, the City would grant a conservation easement over both properties in favor of the Palos Verdes Land Peninsula Land Conservancy(PVPLC),which has entered into an interim agreement with the City to manage these and other units of the Preserve. The conservation easement would identify the California Department of Fish and Game(DFG)and the US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS)as third party beneficiaries to enforce the provisions of the conservation easements. The PVPLC, USFWS and DFG have been working with the City for more than a decade to develop and implement an NCCP subarea plan that would provide for comprehensive conservation and management of multiple species within the City's portion of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. As the principal feature of that plan,the Preserve is designed to conserve regionally Resolution No.2009-83 • 23 of 57 'k A • Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommendation • important habitat areas and provide habitat linkages to benefit sensitive plants and wildlife. The plan has been written under the provisions of the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning Act of 1991 (California Fish and Game Code Section 2800 et seq),which promotes the preparation of subregional and subarea plans that address conservation and management on an ecosystem scale, while accommodating compatible land use and development.

But because one of its goals is to promote coordination among local government, developers, landowners, environmental groups,and other stakeholders in developing and implementing its plans,the NCCP program depends on the cooperation of a number of diverse interests. . In Southern California,where most of the state's NCCP plans have been written, many(such as the Rancho.Palos Verdes effort)have focused on coastal sage scrub communities and protection of the coastal California gnatcatcher. Since the gnatcatcher is dependent on coastal sage scrub habitat and nearly 80 percent of the remaining coastal sage scrub habitat in Southern California occurs on private land,these plans confront the conflicts of development-versus-wildlife in fairly stark terms. Yet the resulting NCCP plans in San Diego, Orange,Los Angeles, Riverside and Resolution No.2009-83 • 'kis di 24 of 57 spit I j ,r m A • Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommend n • San Bernardino counties have created reserves with large blocks of habitat and sought to protect or recover the connections between fragmented natural areas across a 6,000 sq mile area with 18 million people in one of the most heavily urbanizing areas in the country. The draft Palos Verdes subarea plan,which was approved by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council in 2004, focuses on the federally-listed,endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly,the endangered El Segundo blue butterfly,the threatened coastal California gnatcatcher, and Lyon's pentachaeta(an endangered plant), as well as the cactus wren(a state species of concern)and •seven plant species cited by the California Native Plant Society as rare,threatened,endangered or of limited distribution in the state. • The City's primary conservation strategy under the plan is to acquire several key privately owned parcels.that are deemed regionally significant,dedicate selected City-owned lands to the Preserve,and then have the Palos Verdes Land Conservancy manage the ten Reserve components of the Preserve with the assistance of the City and the two wildlife agencies. The Preserve has been designed to conserve the most practicable amount of regionally-important habitat and provide adequate linkages between patches of conserved habitat. The City and the PVPLC also intend to restore certain habitat areas within the Preserve,emphasizing areas that would enhance habitat patch size and habitat linkage function. The restoration plan is to be developed by the PVPLC in consultation with the City and the wildlife agencies,focusing on restoration of coastal sage scrub,cactus scrub,and Palos Verdes blue butterfly habitat. The City and the PVPLC are also jointly developing a Public Use Master Plan(to be approved by the City Council and the two wildlife agencies)-to address such issues as public access, trailhead locations,parking,trail use, fencing, and fire and brush management. Nearly 40 miles of informal trails exist within the Preserve,although only the Forrestal Reserve has a designated trails system with names and uses for each trail segment. As a result,the proposed Conservancy authorization will help enhance public access to and along the coast, in addition to protecting important coastal habitat and linkages. Informal trails on the two acquisition sites will connect with trails on adjoining properties to become part of the trail network that will be dedicated to public use within the Preserve. Site Description: The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is home to significant areas of undisturbed coastal sage scrub in the Portuguese Bend area and in scattered patches of its coastal bluffs and canyons. Its coastline is also important to the seasonal migration of many bird species along the Pacific Flyway. The ecology of the Palos Verdes Peninsula(which in recent geologic time was actually an island)often bears striking relationships with that of the Channel Islands; in fact,the Peninsula is home to a number of resident plant and bird species that are otherwise endemic only to the Channel Islands.As the City's Coastal Specific Plan points out, "[t]hese similarities between the flora and fauna of the Peninsula and the Channel Islands make the natural vegetation of Rancho Palos Verdes a natural biological research laboratory for the study of geographical isolation and evolutionary change in species, island biogeography and ecological relationships, and many other topics of interest to scientists." The Palos Verdes Nature Preserve offers a diverse topography that varies from relatively flat • Resolution No.2009-83 25of57 Rn u r'ri' M IP s .

The Upper Filiorum property is characterized by gentle to steeply sloping terrain,ranging in elevation from about 1100 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the northeast section of the property to 475 above MSL in the southern portion of the site. The 28-acre Plumtree site is located downslope and adjacent to that property. Surface drainage on both properties flows generally south toward the Pacific,which is located less than a mile away. Although freshwater springs are known to exist in some portions of Upper Filiorum,there are no surface water bodies on the property.Two prominent natural drainages cross portions of the site,and the property offers excellent panoramic views of the coastline,the Pacific,and Catalina Island more than 30 miles away. As shown on Exhibit 5,the principal vegetation communities on the Upper Filiorum property are grassland, southern cactus scrub, and both undifferentiated and California sagebrush(Artemisia)-dominated coastal sage scrub. According to a 2000 Phase I Environmental Site assessment,much of the Upper Filiorum property was once utilized for agriculture,as evidenced by air photos dating back to 1928. • Agricultural uses decreased over time and more recently the property has been in open space, Resolution No.2009-83 26 of 57 : 11i1�+ s Exhibi : September 25,2008 Staff Recommend with a portion occasionally used for equestrian purposes. No other land uses are known to have occurred on the site. About half of the property is zoned RS-1 or RS-2(single family residential). The greater Portuguese Bend area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is known for • unstable soil conditions most notably manifested by earth movement,and all but approximately 15 acres of the Upper Filiorum property is included in a landslide moratorium area. • Project History As noted above,the state's Natural Communities Conservation Planning(NCCP)Act of 1991 • provides for the preparation and implementation of large-scale natural conservation plans.The purpose of these plans is to identify and provide for the area-wide protection of natural wildlife . diversity,while allowing for compatible and appropriate development and growth.Because of the relatively high concentration of coastal sage scrub habitat in the City, and the growing intensity of development pressures on these areas, in 1996 the City entered into a planning agreement with DFG and the USFWS to develop an NCCP subarea plan that would encompass the entire City. As an initial step,the City(as lead agency)was required to develop a landscape- scale database of biological resource and land-use information that would allow the City and the wildlife agencies to make informed land-use and conservation decisions about future projects. Since that time,the City and its partners have mapped existing vegetation communities,along with sensitive species distributions and their potential habitat,and applied that information to develop alternative designs for a proposed preserve. From three preliminary design alternatives presented to the City Council and the public in 2000-2001, the City selected a new alternative in 2002 as the basis for the plan.The Draft NCCP Subarea Plan was completed and made available to the public in June 2003,and a draft and then final EIR was prepared and adopted to assess the environmental impacts of implementing that plan.The Draft Subarea Plan,which was adopted by the Council in 2004,outlines the proposed NCCP Preserve,how the Preserve will be assembled and managed,and how much the implementation of the Plan would cost. • The Subarea Plan establishes actions the City will take to obtain Section 10(a)take authorizations for covered species under the federal Endangered Species Act, including current . and future management,maintenance and compatible uses of covered lands,as well as funding • for habitat management. The plan also identifies the process for mitigating•development on any habitat that is not to be conserved,and how permits and take authorizations will be obtained for covered species. The draft Subarea Plan, along with a draft implementing agreement among all four partners and a proposed preserve management agreement between the City and the PVPLC, is now under review by and discussion with DFG and USFWS.The City hopes to complete the NCCP by the end of this year,with a target date of March 2009 for final approvals by the City,PVPLC,CDFG and the USFWS. The creation of the City's NCCP Preserve relies on the dedication of existing public land and the acquisition of certain private holdings.To that end,the City and PVPLC have been successful in acquiring considerable acreages of privately held open space to create the Preserve. In December 2005,the City obtained title to 458 acres of additional lands---the Portuguese Bend and Agua Resolution No.2009-83 `« 27 of 57 kAfi1hii' A • 410 Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommendation Amarga Canyon properties---for dedication into the Preserve. With those acquisitions,the City • currently owns 1,138.33 acres(or 80 percent)of the 1,428.27 acres that have been targeted to become the Preserve. The two acquisitions being proposed here would complete the Preserve. The Coastal Conservancy has been an active partner in these efforts for more than a decade. In March 1997,the Conservancy authorized a grant of$400,000 to the Wildlife Conservation Board toward the acquisition of the 163-acre Klondike Canyon property,which is now known as the Forrestal Reserve. And in October 2005,the Conservancy approved a grant of$1,550,000 to the City to help acquire the Portuguese Bend and Agua Amarga Canyon Reserves. The Conservancy has also contributed$100,000 to the renovation and development of the interpretive center at PVPLC's White Point Nature Preserve and recently awarded two other grants to the PVPLC totaling more than $268,000 for habitat restoration projects at Point Vicente Bluffs and McCarrell's Canyon. PROJECT FINANCING: Upper Filiorum acquisition Coastal Conservancy . $4,787,000 Wildlife Conservation Board(USFWS funds) 2,000,000 _ City,of Rancho Palos Verdes 613,000 Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy,and • private donations 1,800,000 Total $9,200,000 Plumtree acqu s tion Coastal Conservancy 713,000 Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and private donations 2,287,000 Total $3,000,000 Total Project Cost $12,200;000 -—The anticipated source of funds for-this-project-is-an appropriation to-the-Conservancy from Proposition 84---the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Public Resources Code Sections 75001 et seq). Consistent with the purposes specified in Section 75060 of that bond act,the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties would protect natural habitat values of coastal lands on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,as well as promote access to and enjoyment of the coastal resources of the state. • In evaluating acquisition projects for the purpose of natural resource protection under Proposition 84,the Conservancy is directed by Section 75071 of the bond act to give priority to projects that meet one or more of the five criteria specified in Section 75071. Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties by the City would meet at least three of those criteria: Resolution No.2009-83 28 of 57 ir1t�► .. d * Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommend 1."Properties that link to, or contribute to linking,existing protected areas with other Targe blocks of protected habitar 7 j§75071(x)]: As discussed above,the acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree sites would provide the necessary connection between the 98-acre Three Sisters Reserve with the 423-acre Portuguese Bend Reserve. 2."Properties that support relatively large areas of under-protected major habitat types" [§75071(c)]. The proposed acquisition would help protect an important segment of coastal sage scrub,an ecological community whose losses in Southern California have exceeded 90 percent of its original extent. 3. "Properties for which there is a non-state matching contribution toward the acquisition, restoration,stewardship or management costs."[§75071(e)]. As shown above,the federal, local and private contribution towards these acquisitions would represent about 55 percent of the purchase price. As mandated by Section 75071(f)of the bond act;the Conservancy's staff has submitted to the Resources Agency, and posted on the Conservancy's website,an explanation of how the proposed acquisitions meet the criteria established in Section 75071. --CONSISTENCY WITH.CONSERVANCY'S ENABLING LEGISLATION: .The..proposed project is consistent..with Chapter 8 of the Conservancy's enabling legislation, Division 21 of the Public Resources Code(Sections 31350-31356),regarding reservation of significant coastal resource areas. PRC §31350 vests in the Conservancy the authority to ensure the reservation of significant coastal resource areas that would otherwise be lost to public use. Under Section 31351,the Conservancy is to cooperate with other public agencies [such as the City of Rancho Palos Verdes]to ensure the reservation of'such properties for park,recreational and wildlife habitat purposes in order to meet the objectives of a certified local coastal plan or other local plan. As discussed below under the section"Consistency with Local Coastal Program Policies,"the acquisitions of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties would be consistent with the policies of the City's Coastal Specific Plan(1978, its certified local coastal plan). Those acquisitions would also help fulfill the objectives of the City's draft NCCP subarea plan. -The proposed authorization would also be consistent with PRC §31352,which states that the Conservancy may award a grant to a public agency for a purpose specified in Section 31351 if (as is the case with this project)that agency is unable, due to limited financial resources,to acquire such property. Without the Conservancy funding proposed here,the City would lack the requisite funding to acquire the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S 2007 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)& OBJECTIVE(S): Consistent with Goal 4,Objective A.of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan,the proposed project would protect over 219 acres of significant coastal watershed lands. Consistent with the strategies identified in the Strategic Plan,this project would connect existing protected lands to provide large,contiguous blocks of habitat;protect habitat and wildlife corridors;and help Resolution No.2009-83 ').%/1:‘ 29 of 57ot �� 1110 Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommendation • • implement a regional plan for natural resource protection.The City has been identified as an appropriate entity to own the property, and the PVPLC has been identified as the appropriate entity to manage it. Consistent with Goal 1,Objective G of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan,the proposed project would secure property that would facilitate development of inland connecting trails to the Coastal Trail. , • Consistent with Goal 5,Objective C of the Conservancy's 2007 Strategic Plan,the proposed project would preserve wildlife corridors between core habitat areas along the coastal slopes of ' the Palos Verdes Peninsula. CONSISTENCY WITH CONSERVANCY'S PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA&GUIDELINES: The proposed project is consistent with the Conservancy's Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines, last updated on September 20,2007, in the following respects: Reo uirefi Ctca I. Promotion o-tlie Conservancy's statutory programs and purposes: See the above discussion;:on"Consistency with Conservancy's Enabling Legislation." 2. Consistency with purposes of the funding.source: See:the"Project Financing"section above. 3. Su = rt of t e` 'a blic:The project is supported b `Los ySu ervisor Don Pim ; P::. : p pp:...:. AngelesCounty p Knabe, State Senator Edward Vincent, State Senator Alan Lowenthal, State Senator Jenny Oropeza,Assembly Member Betty Karnette,and US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher,as well as a number of environmental organizations,community groups,and inland cities in the South Bay region'of the Los Angeles Basin.Letters of support are provided in Exhibit 7. 4.• Location: Although the proposed project is located outside the Coastal Zone, it would essentially complete the creation of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve,which includes numerous reserve components-tat--ace-tesated-within the Coastal Zone(Exhibit 3).These parcels include Shoreline Park,which includes-a coastal access trail and a planned segment of the Coastal Trail. In addition,conservation of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties would benefit coastal resources by protecting coastal drainages and providing habitat to special status species that are dependent on areas in the Coastal Zone. 5. Need: Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties is needed to complete the implementation of the City's NCCP and to provide a critical linkage between core habitat areas that are already protected under the Plan. Without funding from the Coastal Conservancy,this acquisition would not be possible in time to exercise the City's rights under its purchase and sale agreement with the sellers. 6. Greater-than-local interest: This project will add to and connect with other components of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve.The Preserve is the focal point for numerous nature walks for the community, as well as science and natural history educational programs conducted by Resolution No.2009-83 30 of 57 • s Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommend the PLPVC in association with regional K-12 schools,colleges and universities; it attracts visitors from all over thetas Angeles area,a metropolitan region of more than 17 million people, particularly from inland communities in the South Bay area,many of which have little or no park or open space. In addition,the Preserve provides critical habitat for a number of special status species---such as the California gnatcatcher and Palos Verdes blue butterfly----whose survival and recovery are of regional,statewide and national significance. Additional Criteria 7. Urgency: The City has been advised that if the purchase of the Upper Filiorum property does not occur soon,the City will risk losing$2 million of federal funds that were set aside four years ago for this acquisition by the Fish and Wildlife Service.In addition,the Purchase and sale agreement specifies that the acquisition must close no later than March 31,2009. 8. Resolution of more than one issue: Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties will address coastal and watershed resource protection,habitat restoration, endangered species recovery,and public recreation and access. 9. Leverage: See the"Project Financing"section above. 10. Innovation. The development and implementation of the City's NCCP Subarea Plan has demonstrated an exemplary approach to protecting a core of key coastal habitats in a rapidly urbanizing area of Southern California. 11.Readiness: The City and the sellers have negotiated a purchase and sale agreement for the properties and are prepared to close on their sale by the end of the First Quarter 2009 if adequate funding can be secured. 11.Realization of prior Conservancy goals: For over a decade,the Coastal Conservancy has been involved in helping purchase and protect components of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The Conservancy helped fund acquisition of the Forrestal Preserve with a grant to the Wildlife Conservation Board in 1997,and it helped fund acquisition of the 424-acre Portuguese Bend Preserve and 39-acre Agua Amarga Canyon Preserve with a grant to the City in 2005. Since that time it has also provided grants to the PVPLC for development of an interpretative center and several habitat restoration projects, including one at the Point • Vicente Bluffs Reserve. 12.Cooperation: The Rancho Palos Verdes NCCP is a cooperative venture among the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy,the California Department of Fish and Game,and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. CONSISTENCY WITH LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM POLICIES: The proposed project is located outside the designated Coastal Zone within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,a narrow band that generally extends inland only to Palos Verdes Drive,the first main thoroughfare along the City's 7.5 mile coastline. Acquisition of the Upper Filiorum and Plumtree properties, however,would be consistent with the mandate in Section 30140 of the Coastal Act to protect environmentally sensitive habitat areas. In addition, it would complement protections mandated by the City's Coastal Specific Plan(1978; its local coastal plan)for sensitive wildlife habitat, natural vegetation, and preservation corridors in the Coastal Zone. For ResolutinitifflaT 31 of 57 • Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommendation • RANCHO PALOS VERDESACQUISITIONS • example,policy CRM-10 of that Plan specifies that"[t]the existing natural vegetation of Rancho .Palos Verdes is a major component of the environmental character of the City. The open natural hillsides are visibly apparent and create an atmosphere of a hilly rural community. The retention of wild flowers, low coastal sage scrub, chaparral,and grassland communities is desirable as is revegetation with native.material wherever clearing of vegetation is required." • COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA: The acquisition of the Upper Filiorum property and the Plumtree property is each categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)pursuant to Sections 15313 and 15325 of 14 Cal. Code of Regulations(CCR). Section 15313 exempts acquisition of lands for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and for preserving access to • public lands and waters where the purpose of the acquisition is to preserve the land in its natural condition.The proposed project is similarly exempt pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15325 because it involves a transfer of ownership in order to preserve existing natural conditions and open space. Upon Conservancy approval of the proposed authorization, staff will file a Notice of Exemption for the project. • • • • • Page 12 of 12 Resolution No.2009-83 32 of 57 Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation ' .,.4.-_, t/...•: .a.

The property is comprised of 190 acres known as Upper Filiorum and 28 acres known as Phuntree. These two real properties will link existing areas already preserved as the Nature Preserve. The beauty of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is well-known to me. I am an alumnus of Palos Verdes High School, and my family and I resided in the area for many years. The Palos Verdes spectacular coastline stretches along the Pacific to Huntington Beach and comprises one of the more unique parts of my congressional district. Acquisition of the 218 acres will provide contiguous land that will allow wildlife to move freely through open spaces. Furthermore,native habitat will be restored to promote the repopulation.of species such as-theTarePalos Verdes blue butterfly. •__•......... The Portuguese Bend Nature Reserve enjoys deep community support. Last year, volunteers from the entire south bay area contributed over 9,000 hours of work. In 2005, they raised over$4 million to help acquire undeveloped land. May I urge the Coastal Conservancy to support the.Rancho Palos Verdes acquisition so that we may keep this marvelous,natural resource available to future generations?

My reasons for supporting it include: • o This land will connect two existing nature areas that have already been preserved. It will form a nature corridor that will allow wildlife to move freely through the expanded Preserve. Over time The native habitat will be restored and help the repopulation of the area which is home to several endangered threatened species such as the very rare Palos Verdes blue butterfly. o Several of the trails which go across this area and have been closed for the past several years will be re-opened to the public. o The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy has preserved over 1200 acres of undeveloped land on the Peninsula. This spectacular coastline nature preserve, with ocean views will grow to 1400 acres and be kept open to the public in perpetuity. Resolution No.2009-83 40 of 57 • , leIt ihdil b., w •11 Exh : September 25,2008 Staff Recommend • o The community actively supports the Conservancy. Volunteers from the community, who come from all over the South Bay, including much of my constituency, provided over 9,000 hours volunteer work in 2007. o The PVPLC's 3rd grade education program has brought over 10,000 students from 19 schools on to the preserves over the past ten years. o This additional open space will afford even more opportunities to expand the Conservancy's outreach programs. This past school year, in conjunction with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps, the Conservancy brought 500 middle-school children from South Los Angeles to the Preserves to teach them about the natural sciences. I strongly support your effort to acquire this critical piece of land for open space.

I support the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy's efforts to increase the amount of open space by acquiring'undeveloped land from York and Associates. This land is one of the last major parcels of undeveloped land in the area. In particular I support their efforts to reach out to the children in the South Bay and beyond with their education programs in the natural sciences. Their 3rd grade education program brings more than 1400 elementary school children from 19 schools to four in-class sessions and a visit to a local green area every year. I appreciate this outreach effort, since Wood Elementary School in Torrance and Bonita Elementary School in Carson both participate in this program. I am also pleased that the Conservancy is working with the LA Conservation Corps to bring middle schoolchildren from South Los Angeles in the Los Angeles Unified School District to the Preserves to introduce them to the natural sciences.•The first group of students from Markham Junior High in Watts visited the Preserves this spring and so far more than 160 students have participated in the program. We would certainly welcome a grant from the State Coastal Conservancy in support for the much needed addition of open space in the area.

The "PVPLC*h done an exemplary job of preserving undeveloped land on the Peninsula. In 2005.the PVPLC successfully acquired an additional 430 acres of land with the support of the California Coastal Conservancy,other governmental agencies and numerous private donations from community members. Currently,there is a tremendous opportunity for the PVPLC to acquire 218 acres of undeveloped land, one of the last major undeveloped parcels in the area. This land connects the existing preserves in the Portuguese Bend Nature Reserve and will provide a • natural wildlife corridor. This will be critical for the resurgence of native plants and animals including the endangered and threatened species such as the very rare Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and the California Gnatcatcher.

As the area's representative on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, I am very familiar with, and strongly support,the efforts of the Conservancy to preserve open space. They have also dedicated themselves to restoring the native habitat and have implemented a number of valuable education and science programs.Additionally,The Conservancy demonstrated that they have strong community support by securing over$4 million in contributions from the public to acquire land in 2005. This planned acquisition represents a culmination of 20 years of work to create the Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve. This particular land is strategically important, because it connects the existing preserves in the Portuguese Bend area and will provide a natural wildlife corridor that will aid in the repopulation of native plants and animals in this area.

Specifically, we - support the planned acquisition of the 218 acres of the Upper Filiorum and Plum Tree . parcels of land that will increase the amount of critical open space in the area. The Conservancy has dedicated themselves to restoring the native habitat on the lands that they manage, and have implemented a number of valuable education and science programs for our children, from natural science programs for third graders to high school and university level research projects. The planned acquisition of the Upper • Filiorum and Plum Tree parcels, as one of the last major parcels of undeveloped land in the area, will expand this program and allow for the re-opening of trails that have been closed to the public for several years. This land is also important because it connects the existing preserves in the Portuguese Bend Nature Reserve and helps to form a natural wildlife corridor that will help the repopulation of native plants and animals in this area.The City of Rolling Hills supports the acquisition of this additional land for open space which will benefit the wildlife and be kept open to the public in perpetuity. t?Panted on Recycled Paper Resolution No.200 - -, � 45 of 57 EBIT I 110 • Exhibit 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommendation • Page 2 The Conservancy demonstrated that they have strong community support by raising over$4 million from the public to acquire land in 2005 and,we are confident they will duplicate their success for this new acquisition.

Since its inception in 1988,the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy(PVLC)has preserved over 1200 acres of land on the,Palos Verdes Peninsula. These preserves not only nurture and restore rare native coastal habitat but also allow public access to open space in perpetuity. The parcel included in this acquisition would connect together existing preserves in the Portuguese Bend Nature Reserve in order to provide a natural wildlife corridor to assist in the resurgence of native plants and animals. The area is home to endangered and threatened species such as the Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and the California Gnatcatcher. As Mayor of Palos Verdes Estates,I take great pride that our community has permanently set aside over 28%of the land in our city limits to serve as parklands and open space for the enjoyment of our residents and visitors. With continuing pressure to develop the remaining open space parcels on the Peninsula,I believe that the PVLC's open space preserve program is deserving of funding from the California Coastal Conservancy and will be supported by significant contributions from the private sector as well. Thank you in advance for consideration of this letter of support and please do not hesitate to contact me if you desire additional information. Sincerely, Joseph C.

The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy has preserved over 1200 acres of • land, including_land in Rolling Hills Estates. These preserves not only nurture and restore rare native coastal habitat but also insures public access to the properties. The City of Rolling Hills Estates is an enthusiastic supporter of open space on the Peninsula, and the George F. Canyon Nature Center in RHE is a popular starting point for many nature hikes which we provide in conjunction with the Conservancy. We strongly support the PVPLC's effort to acquire 218 acres of undeveloped land that links together existing preserves in the Portuguese Bend Nature Reserve and will provide a natural wildlife corridor that will help the resurgence of native plants and animals. These include endangered and threatened species such as the very rare Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and the California Gnatcatcher. I feel that the Conservancy is providing a valuable service to people who live on the Peninsula and to residents of the many surrounding neighborhoods in the South Bay and beyond, who enjoy the peaceful solitude of the open space. • Sincere , Susan Seamans Council Member Resolution No.2009-83 48 of 57 • Exhibit 1: September 25, 2008 Staff Recommendation MALCOLM S .

In particular I support the Conservancy's efforts to reach out to our children with their education programs in the natural sciences in Palos Verdes,the South Bay and beyond. Their 3rd rade education program brings over 1,400 children to four in-class sessions and a visit to a local green area every year.

As a former member of the Board of Directors of the Conservancy and a current member of the City Council, 1 am very familiar with, and strongly support, the efforts of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and the City to preserve open space on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. They have also dedicated themselves to restoring the native habitat and have implemented a number of valuable education and science programs for our children —from natural science programs for third graders to high school and university level research projects. In addition to bringing 1400 3rd graders from 19 schools on to the Preserves every 9 Year, the Conservancy, partnering with the LA Conservation Corps, has brought 500 middle school children from South Los Angeles to the Preserve to explore the natural sciences. Strong community support for these acquisitions was demonstrated by the Conservancy's successful fund raising of over$4 million from the public to acquire land in 2005, which the City is placing in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. This land is available for ail of the public to enjoy. 4 HAl�'1 i•1t 1 ! t � , `FRG ' 90275-5391.0310) 2 c k (3101544.5291 `' ' 3p U 1R�g�,�G'. i:��;.ar I.�►,,►��� � t.gra 54�-5 t�.� r�:� .'.'��ti�1�r-.�_:j�:•-���:��:•c PRINTED oh.KE1.,sft:111 PAN R Resolution No.2009-83 50 of 57 PVtilairr.ui . • Exhi 1 1: September 25,2008 Staff Recommends ion • Mr. Douglas Bosco, Chairman August 4, 2008 Page 2 The City Council fully supports the planned acquisition of one of the fast major parcels of undeveloped land in the area and has committed $613,000 of City funds toward that purpose. The purchase of this remaining land will represent the culmination of 20 years of work to create the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. It will also allow for the re-opening of trails that have been closed to the public for several years. This land also is strategically important, because it connects the existing land that already has been acquired for the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve and will provide a natural wildlife . corridor that will aid in the repopulation of native plants and animals in this area. These endangered and threatened species include the rare Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and the California Gnatcatcher.

Payees who do not wish to complete the STD.204 may elect to not do business with the State.If the payee does not complete the STD.204 and the required payee data is not otherwise provided,payment may be reduced for federal backup withholding and nonresident State income tax withholding.

The State of California requires that all parties entering into business transactions that may lead to payment(s)from the State provide their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). The TIN is required by the California Revenue and Taxation Code SEction 18646 to facilitate tax compliance enforcement activities and the preparation of Form 1099 and other information returns as required by the Internal Revenue Code Section 6109(a). The TIN for individuals and sole proprietorships is the Social Security Number(SSN). Only partnerships, estates, trusts, and corporations will enter their Federal Employer Identification Number(FEIN). 4 Are you a California resident or nonresident? A corporation will be defined as a"resident"if it has a permanent place of business in California or is qualified through the Secretary of State to do business in California. A partnership is considered a resident partnership if it has a permanent place of business in California.An estate is a resident if the decedent was a California resident at time of death.A trust is a resident if at least one trustee is a California resident. For individuals and sole proprietors,the term"resident"includes every individual who is in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose and any individual domiciled in California who is absent for a temporary or transitory purpose. Generally, an individual who comes to California for a purpose that will extend over a long or indefinite period will be considered a resident. However, an individual who comes to perform a particular contract of short duration will be considered a nonresident. Payments to all nonresidents may be subject to withholding. Nonresident payees performing services in California or receiving rent,lease,or royalty payments from property(real or personal) located in California will have 7% of their total payments withheld for State income taxes. However, no withholding is required if total payments to the payee are$1,500 or less for the calendar year.
