WHEREAS, in 1957, Tract 16540 was recorded under the County of Los Angeles
for a total of 42 legal lots, whereby 31 housing units were relocated from the land area
affected by the Portuguese Bend Landslide to the new subdivision between 1958 and
1959 and the remaining 11 lots were developed with custom homes; and,
WHEREAS, in 1975, the City's first Zoning Map was adopted and the properties
located within Tract 16540 were placed within two zoning districts, RS-2 and RS-5,
whereby some properties were designated wholly RS-2 or RS-5 and some properties
contained dual zoning with both RS-2 and RS-5; and,
WHEREAS, in 1975, the City's first Zoning Map was adopted and a number of
properties along the south side of Maritime Road also included an Open Space Hazard
(OH) zoning designation; and,
WHEREAS, in 1978, the City's Coastal Specific Plan was adopted, in compliance
with the mandates established by the California Coast Act for establishing a Local
Coastal Program within the City's Coastal Zone (all land seaward of Palos Verdes Drive
West and Palos Verdes Drive South), and the City's Coastal Specific Plan established a
total of eight (8) Subregions, whereby Tract 16540 is located within Subregion Six (6);
and,
WHEREAS, on March 3, 2009, the City Council approved a Director-initiated
Zone Change Initiation Request (ZCAIR) to bring a Zone Change before the Planning
Commission for review and preparation of a formal recommendation to the City Council
regarding the Zone Change of Tract 16540; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq., the City's
Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f) (Hazardous Waste
and Substances Statement), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes has prepared an Initial
Study and determined that there is no substantial evidence that approval of the Zone
Change would result in a significant adverse effect on the environment, and therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been prepared and notice of the fact was given in the manner
required by law; and,
WHEREAS, after notice was issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho
Palos Verdes Development Code, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on May 12, 2009, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity
to be heard and present evidence; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission approved P.C. Resolution No. 2009-20,
recommending that the City Council certify a Negative Declaration pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act, and P.C. Resolution No. 2009-21 recommending
that the City Council approve a Zone Change for East Tract 16540 in the Portuguese
Bend Club to establish one consistent zoning designation within Tract 16540; and,
WHEREAS, after a notice was issued pursuant to the requirements of the
Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the City Council opened up the public hearing
on July 7, 2009, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be
heard and present evidence and subsequently continued the proposed "clean-up" Zone
Change to August 4, 2009 to allow time for the Planning Commission to consider a Lot
Line Adjustment (LLA) appeal that involves one of the 42 properties subject to the
"clean-up" Zone Change; and,
WHEREAS, on August 4, 2009, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 496
for a "clean-up" Zone Change for East Tract 16540, Case No. ZON2009-00053 to be
formally adopted via a second reading on August 18, 2009; and,
WHEREAS, on August 18, 2009, Ordinance No. 496 was formally adopted by the
City Council, to go into full force and effect on September 17, 2009; and,
WHEREAS, due to insufficient posting of Ordinance No. 496, caused the need
for adoption of this Urgency Ordinance;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council has reviewed and considered the amendments
to the Rancho Palos Verdes Zoning Map for the East Tract 16540 "clean-up" Zone
Change.
Section 2: The City Council finds that the Zone Change for East Tract 16540
is consistent with California Government Code Section 65853, zoning amendment
procedures.
Section 3: The proposed Zone Change is warranted since it is consistent
with the City's Local Coastal Specific Plan, which states, "...the 5 unit per acre density is
in conformance with the existing pattern Hof development]and induces new units under a
pattern which is compatible with the intimate character established by past development"
(page S6-10, RPV Coastal Specific Plan). The change in zoning from RS-2 or dual
residential zoning (RS-2 and RS-5) to RS-5 would be consistent with the exiting pattern
of development, density and lot sizes found within East Tract 16540.
Ordinance No. 496U
Page 2 of 4
Section 4: For the foregoing reasons and based upon the information and
findings included in the Staff Report, Initial Study and other records of these
proceedings, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves the
Zone Change, thereby rezoning the residential zoning on the properties or portions of
the properties from wholly RS-2 or dual zoned RS2 and RS-5 (Single Family Residential)
to wholly RS-5 (Single-Family Residential) so that all of the residential portions of the
properties within East Tract 16540 (except the property located at 1494 Maritime Road)
shall be in one uniform residential RS-5 Zone, as set forth in Exhibit "A" (which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference).
Section 5: The City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
Zone Change amendments to East Tract 16540 would result in new significant
environmental effects. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and C.C. Resolution
No. 2009- has been adopted, certifying the Negative Declaration and making certain
environmental findings in association with Case No. ZON2009-00053.
Section 6: The Rancho Palos Verdes Zoning Map is hereby by amended to
change the residential zoning designations within East Tract 16540 to Single-Family
Residential (RS-5)for the following properties only: 4156, 4150, 4144, 4136, 4126, 4124,

developed !n the tract. Individuals who wish to develop properties within Tract 16540
are waiting to file applications with the City. There is an urgent and immediate need to
review and amend the City's Zoning Map.
Section 8: The time within which judicial review of the decision reflected in
this Ordinance must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation.

three (3) public places in the City within fifteen (15) days after its passage, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 36933 of the Government Code. The City Clerk shall
