EXHIBIT A
CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN INITIATIVE MEASURE
The people of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes ordain as follows:
SECTION I: INTRODUCTION.
A. we, the people of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, affirm our intent to encourage
the retention, limitation, and overall improvement of the existing college campus located at the
southeastern portion of the City, immediately south of the intersection of Palos Verdes Drive
East and Crest Load through a Specific Plan intended to manage the site. we seep to ensure that
the campus remains vital and continues- to provide benefits to the City while remaining
compatible to the surrounding community. On July 12, 2000, the college first submitted
applications to the City to improve its campus. For almost ten years, these improvements have
been the subject of environmental and community review, culminating in a Final Environmental
Impact Report, numerous technical studies and analyses, reports and extensive community
involvement. Hundreds of thousands of privately donated dollars were spent while these delays
endangered this City treasure. The people of this City, who have consistently shown support for
these campus improvements, should now be given the opportunity to decide on the future of this
important community asset. Accordingly, we hereby amend the General Plan and hereby ordain
implementation of a Specific Plan and zone change to create the Campus Specific Plan
("Specific Plan "), subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth below,
B. The property that is the subject of this initiative measure is currently used as the
Marymount College campus ("Campus""). The approximately 24.57 -acre Campus is located on a
site overlooking the southern tip of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean, as more
particularly shown in Attachment A ("Specific Plan Area "). The Campus is bordered on the
north, northeast, south and west by single - family residential neighborhoods. The areas situated
south and east of the site contain single - family residential neighborhoods and undeveloped lands.
An area neap showing the property in the context of surrounding development is set forth in
Attachment B ('Specific Plan Boundary and Context Map "). The Campus site generally
consists of an improved/developed area located at the northern portion of the property and vacant
areas along the property's south - facing slope and westerly area. The northern portion of the
property consists of an existing college campus, which has been improved and developed with
buildings, an athletic field, parking lots, paved areas and ornamental landscaping. The south -
facing slope and westerly area contain no improvements and are seasonally cleared of vegetation.
Existing development on the Campus is set forth in Attachment C (`Existing Campus"'),,
This Specific Plan allows the demolition of approximately 18,022 square feet of existing floor
area and the construction of 136,008 square feet of new floor area on the Campus, which
includes a 14,916- square foot expansion to existing buildings. The proposed additions and new
buildings would result in a total of 210,254 square feet of floor area, representing a net increase
of 117,986 square feet over the existing floor area of 92,258 square feet. The new floor area
would be developed in the form of six new structures and the renovation of four existing
structures. Additionally, the Specific Plan would relocate the existing athletic field, and tennis
and basketball courts from the east side of the Campus to the west side. Also, the entry drive and
existing parking area would be reconfiguredlreconstructed. A site plan more particularly
describing the features and land uses permitted within the Specific Plan area is set forth in the
Resolution No. 2010 -49
Exhibit A
Page 1 of 51
Land Use Plan set forth in Attachment D. The limitations which will ensure that Campus uses
will be sensitive to the environment and to neighboring properties bordering the Specific Plan
area are set forth in the Campus Requirements in Attachment F.
C. we therefore find that the master planning of the Campus site through
implementation of the Specific Plan and the facilities and uses permitted by this initiative is
appropriate and desirable. The Specific Plan area is compatible with surrounding development.
The Campus Requirements will ensure that implementation of the Specific Plan shall be limited
and coordinated to remain sensitive to surrounding communities. The Specific Plan includes
appropriate service systems for the level and type of development proposed.

any proposed construction with the General Plan and zoning regulations of the City, shall be
limited to a determination of consistency with the Specific Plan, as adopted by this initiative.'
B. Amendment.
The chapter, pages, and sections set forth in this initiative measure may be renumbered
by City staff or by subsequent recodification by the City Council, so long as the zoning
regulations enacted by this initiative remain a separate, standalone, separately numbered chapter
of the zoning and/or land use ordinance of the RPVMC, and so long as the renumbering affects
no substantive change. City staff or the City Council may also make clerical changes to
reproduce or relocate any text or diagram of this initiative measure in a logical manner (such as
reproducing a copy of Attachment A, B, C, D, E, F or O in the General Plan or zoning code
next to the text to which it relates), so long as doing so affects no substantive change.
Corrections may be made to fix any typographical or clerical errors in this initiative, without a
vote of the people, provided that doing so affects no substantive change. Except as expressly
provided in this initiative measure, no other part of this initiative measure may be altered,
amended or supplemented, except upon a subsequent vote of the voters, or upon application of a

measure shall be deemed a general plan amendment and/or rezoning decision subject to

this initiative measure shall be maintained unless commenced and service made within 90 days
of the date the vote on this initiative measure is declared by the City Council.
F. Severability.

appeal by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the word or words are severed, and the
remaining parts of this initiative measure, and the application of any part of this initiative
measure to other situations, shall continue in full force and effect. We, the people of the City of

of its irrespective of the fact that any other word., condition, or application to any situation, be
held invalid. It is our intent that any portion of this initiative measure that can lawfully be

(ESL }. For the purposes of this ordinance, all students in such Continuing
Education Programs will be included as part of the total full -time and part -time
permitted student enrollment for both the Traditional and Non - Traditional Degree
Programs. The determination as to which enrollment category such students are
counted towards will be based on whether the applicable classes are primarily
offered during the weekdays (in which case the students would be classified as
part of the Traditional Degree Program enrollment) or nights /weekends (in which
case they would be classified as part of the Non - Traditional Degree Program
enrollment).
128) As used in this ordinance, a "student' means either a "full -time student," which is
a person enrolled in a Degree Program or a Continuing Education Program on
campus for at least 12 hours of course work during the applicable Term (as

Western Avenue (SR-213)/Trudie Drive - Capitol Drive — Re-stripe the
eastbound Trudie Drive approach from one shared left-turn/through lane
and one de -facto right -turn lane to consist of one left -turn lane and one
shared through/right-turn lane. Implementation of this measure shall be
coordinated with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, City of Los Angeles,
and Caltrans.
The Campus owner implementing this improvement may be eligible in the future
for partial reimbursement from future projects that result in impacts on this
intersection.
144) Prior to issuance of any Certificate of occupancy, the Campus owner shall make
a one -time proportionate share contribution (13.21% based on AM peak hour
cumulative impacts) to implement the following:
Palos Verdes Drive East/Palos Verdes Drive South -- Modify the
intersection to provide a two -stage gap acceptance design for southbound
left - turning vehicles. A raised median refuge area shall be constructed for
vehicles to turn left from Palos Verdes Drive East to cross westbound
Palos Verdes Drive South while waiting for a gap in eastbound traffic to
complete the turn to eastbound Palos Verdes Drive South. Additionally,
the existing raised median shall be narrowed to provide an acceleration
lane along Palos Verdes Drive South to accommodate vehicles
accelerating to join eastbound Palos Verdes Drive South -traffic flow.
Modifications to the Palos Verdes Drive East/Palos Verdes Drive South
intersection shall be designed taking into account truck turning radius
requirements and shall be to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director.
Since the Palos Verdes Drive East/Palos Verdes Drive South intersection
