A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CERTIFYING A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR
PLANNING CASE NOS. ZON2008-00649 AND SUB2008-
00008 (GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE,
ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,
GRADING PERMIT,VARIANCE,AND VESTING TENTATIVE
PRCEL MAP) FOR A NEW 34 UNIT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING COMPLEX, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF CRESTRIDGE ROAD AND CRENSHAW
BOULEVARD.
WHEREAS, in March of 2000, the Rancho Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency
(Agency) purchased the 19.63 acre Crestridge property with 20%Affordable Housing Set-
aside funds with the intent on developing an age restricted affordable housing complex on
the subject property; and
WHEREAS, since the purchase of the property, the Agency has been working with
various developers towards the implementation of an affordable housing project on the
subject site, none of which came to fruition. Subsequently, recognizing a need to meet
certain mandates towards the expenditure of City and Agency affordable housing funds,
the need to meet certain mandates to utilize the property by March 2010, and the City's
affordable housing needs as identified in the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan Housing
Element, on September 18, 2007, the City Council directed Staff to move forward with a
program that would develop the Crestridge property; and
WHEREAS, after releasing a Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposal
(RFQ/RFP)to find a reputable affordable housing developer, and reviewing responses to
the RFQ/RFP, on September 16, 2008, the Agency entered into an Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement with AMCAL Multi-Housing Inc., who is the project Applicant for the proposed
project; and
WHEREAS, applications for General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Zone Text
Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, Grading Permit,Variance,Vesting Tentative Parcel
Map and Environmental Assessment(Planning Case Nos.ZON2008-00649 and SUB2008-
00008) were submitted to the Planning Department by the Applicant, to allow the
development of a proposed 40-unit age-restricted affordable housing rental complex on the
subject site; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines,
California Code of Regulation, 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 prepared an Initial Study and determined
that, by incorporating mitigation measures into the Negative Declaration, there is no
substantial evidence that the approval of Planning Case Nos. ZON2008-00649 and
SUB2008-00008 would result in a significant adverse effect on the environment.
Accordingly, a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated for public
review for twenty(20)days between January 6, 2009 and January 26, 2009, and notice of
that fact was given in the manner required by law; and,
WHEREAS, after issuing notices pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Development Code and the State CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission
held a duly noticed public hearing on January 13, 2009 and February 10, 2009, at which
time all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and present evidence;
and,
WHEREAS, at the January 13, 2009 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning
Commission directed Staff and the Applicant to further investigate design alternatives to
address concerns pertaining to the project;formed a Planning Commission Sub-committee
of Commissioners Gerstner, Knight and Tetreault to assist Staff and the Applicant with re-
design options; and continued the public hearing to February 10, 2009; and,
WHEREAS, on January 27, 2009, the Planning Commission Sub-committee met
with the Applicant and Staff to discuss various design alternatives, from which it was
recommended that the Applicant prepare two additional site design plans that would be
presented to the Planning Commission at their February 10, 2009 meeting; and,
WHEREAS, on January 30, 2009, the Applicant submitted Option #1 (40-unit
project) and Option #2 (34-unit project) as alternative designs for consideration by Staff
and the Planning Commission.
WHEREAS, at its February 10, 2009, meeting, after hearing public testimony, the
Planning Commission made a decision (5-1 with Commissioner Knight dissenting and
Commissioner Tetreault Absent) via minute order to recommend that the City
Council/Board deny the proposed project as the Commission felt that the proposed age-
restricted affordable rental housing project was inconsistent with the allowable uses found
within the Institutional Land Use District; and,
WHEREAS, after issuing notices pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Development Code and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City Council held a duly
noticed public hearing on March 3, 2009, at which time all interested parties were given the
opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
NOW,THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DO HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The proposed project is for a 34-unit age-restricted affordable rental
housing complex that includes a Community Building with associated grading, retaining
walls, parking and landscaping.
Resolution No. 2009-15
Page 2 of 5
Section 2: That the revised project does not require re-circulation of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the following reasons:
A. That the originally submitted project that was identified in the circulated Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was described as follows:
• Construction of a new two-story 40-unit apartment complex. 39 of the apartment
units will be age-restricted to individuals of 55 years and older, and will also be
rent restricted to those who have an extremely low, very low, and/or low income.
The remaining unit will not be restricted and will be reserved for an on-site
manager. 33 of the apartment units are proposed to be 1-bedroom units
(approximately 550 net square feet each), while the remaining 7 are proposed
as 2-bedroom units (approximately 750 net square feet each).
• Construction of a new one-story 1,411 square foot Clubhouse (including office,
restrooms and storage/maintenance) for use by the residents of the site
• 59 on-site surface level parking spaces for tenants and guests
• On-site landscaping and recreational area (bocce court)
• 52,315 cubic yards of grading consisting of 34,910 cubic yards of raw cut,
17,405 cubic yards of raw fill, 1,905 cubic yards of loss due to re-
compaction/shrinkage, and 15,600 cubic yards of export. The proposed grading
also includes the construction of five retaining walls on the developable portion
of the site: 1) up to 25' high wall along the westerly property line behind the
proposed structure, 2) up to 6' high wall along Crestridge Road, 3) up to 3' high
wall along Crenshaw Blvd., 4) up to 5' high wall between the subject site and the
neighboring pre-school site, and 5) up to 3' high wall on the building site. The
proposed grading concept will involve lowering the site by up to 22'from existing
grade to create the proposed building and parking pad areas.
• Subdivide the existing 19.63 acre parcel into two parcels - one parcel at 2.88
acres (the proposed development parcel) and the remainder parcel at 16.75
acres (the proposed open space parcel).
B. That the differences between the original project design (described in #1 above)
and the revised proposed project are as follows
• The number of units has been reduced from 40 units to 34 units. The project will
be leased to persons 62 years of age and older instead of persons 55 years of
age and older.
• The number of total parking spaces has been reduced from 59 on-site surface
level parking spaces for tenants and guests to a total of 48 on-site surface level
parking spaces for tenants and guests.
• The total amount of grading has been reduced from 52,315 cubic yards to
27,230 cubic yards. The total export of dirt material has been reduced from
15,600 cubic yards to 14,780 cubic yards. The number of retaining walls has
been reduced from 5 walls to 4 walls. Additionally the 25' high retaining wall has
been reduced in size to 16.5' tall
C. That the approved request would not result in any new or increased impacts to
the environment that are not already analyzed within the Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration that was released for the original project, because the
Resolution No. 2009-15
Page 3 of 5
revised project is smaller in size and scale and thus results in less potential
impacts. Further there have been no other substantial changes to the Project or
to the environment caused by the revised project that would cause the Project to
significantly impact the environment, nor does the revised proposed project
affect a change that would impact the environment in any manner that was not
previously considered and mitigated to the extent feasible.
D. The revised proposed project does not require re-circulation of the MND because
the change in project design does not constitute a "substantial revision",
according to CEQA
Section 3: The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration,the public comments upon it, and other evidence
before the Council prior to taking action on the proposed project and finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in the manner required by law and that there
is no substantial evidence that, with appropriate mitigation measures, the approval of
Planning Case Nos. ZON2008-00649 and SUB2008-00008 (General Plan Amendment,
Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, Conditional Use
Permit, Grading Permit and Variance),would result in a significant adverse effect upon the
environment.
Section 4: Planning Case Nos. ZON2008-00649 and SUB2008-00008 for the
General Plan Amendment,Zone Change,Zone Text Amendment,Vesting Tentative Parcel
Map, Conditional Use Permit, Grading Permit and Variance are consistent with the Rancho
Palos Verdes General Plan and with the underlying Institutional land use designation.
Section 5: The Initial Study identified the following issue areas that may result in
a potentially significant environmental impact(s) as a result of the proposed project:
Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils,
Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Transportation/Traffic, and Utilities and Service
Systems.
However,with the appropriate mitigation measures, which a) require completion of
geotechnical analysis of the proposed grading and construction prior to building permit
issuance; b) impose City and regional restrictions upon fugitive dust control and
construction vehicle emissions; c) mitigate traffic impacts; d) establish limitations on
construction hours, construction noise and haul routes; e) ensure the provision of
adequate water supply and implementation of water-conserving fixtures; f) establish
limitations upon exterior lighting, landscaping and signage; g)provide protection of cultural
resources; h) provide protection of biological resources; and i) address storm run-off
related to potential water quality impacts; the City Council hereby finds that the potentially
significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed project would be mitigated
to a level of insignificance.
Section 6: Mitigation Measure B1O-1, which requires the Applicant to pay$25,000
per acre of impact to CSS habitat, is no longer necessary and has been removed from the
Resolution No. 2009-15
Page 4 of 5
Mitigated Negative Declaration. This mitigation measure has been removed because the
impacts to CSS were already mitigated through the City's adopted NCCP and the
dedication of City properties into the Preserve, which includes Parcel #2 of this project as
an open space lot that will be retained as part of the NCCP Preserve.
Section 7: Based upon the foregoing findings, the adoption of the proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration is in the public interest.
Section 8: The time within which the judicial review of the decision reflected in this
Resolution, if available, must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 9: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Environmental Assessment and other components of the
legislative record, in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and in the public
comments received by the Council, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
hereby certifies that the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance
with CEQA, and therefore adopts the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program (Exhibit"A")
associated with Planning Case Nos. ZON2008-00649 and SUB2008-00008 (General Plan
Amendment, Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map,
Conditional Use Permit, Grading Permit and Variance).
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 3rd day of March 2009.

Exhibit A - Page 1 Resolution No. 2009-
I. INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) is to allow the following project at the northwest corner of Crestridge
Road and Crenshaw Blvd. in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes: The applicant proposes to develop a project that
includes;
• Construction of a new two -story 34 -unit apartment complex. 33 of the apartment units will be age- restricted to
individuals of 62 years and older, and will also be rent restricted to those who have an extremely low, very low,
and /or low income. The remaining unit will not be restricted and will be reserved for an on -site manager. 29 of the
apartment units are proposed to be 1- bedroom units (approximately 550 net square feet each), while the
remaining 5 are proposed as 2- bedroom units (approximately 750 net square feet each).
• Construction of a new one -story 1,411 square foot Clubhouse (including office, restrooms and
storage /maintenance) for use by the residents of the site
• 47 on -site surface level parking spaces for tenants and guests
• On -site landscaping and recreational area
• 27,230 cubic yards of grading consisting of 21,005 cubic yards of raw cut, 6,225 cubic yards of raw fill, and
14,780 cubic yards of export. The proposed grading also includes the construction of four retaining walls on
the developable portion of the site: 1) up to 16.5' high wall along the westerly property line behind the
proposed structure, 2) up to 5' high wall along Crestridge Road, 3) up to 3' high wall along Crenshaw Blvd.,
and 4) up to 5' high wall between the subject site and the neighboring pre - school site. The proposed grading
concept will involve lowering the site by up to 22' from existing grade to create the proposed building and
parking pad areas.
• Subdivide the existing 19.63 acre parcel into two parcels - one parcel at 2.88 acres (the proposed development
parcel) and the remainder parcel at 16.75 acres (the proposed open space parcel).
• Rezoning to adjust the existing land use boundary line on the parcel so that the all of the undevelopable
property that is located on the extreme slope (16.75 acres) and within Parcel #2 will be within the Open Space
Hazard Zone and the 2.88 acre developable portion of the site (Parcel #1) will be within the Institutional Zone.
The MMP responds to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code, which requires a lead or responsible
agency that approves or carries out a project where a Mitigated Negative Declaration has identified significant
environmental effects, to adopt a "reporting or monitoring program for adopted or required changes to mitigate
or avoid significant environmental effects." The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is acting as lead agency for the
project.
An Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of
the project. Where appropriate, this environmental document recommended mitigation measures to mitigate or
avoid impacts identified. Consistent with Section 21080 (2)(c) of the Public Resources Code, a mitigation
reporting or monitoring program is required to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures under the
jurisdiction of the City are implemented. The City will adopt this MMP when adopting the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES
This MMP has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as
amended (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State Guidelines for Implementation of
CEQA (CEQA Guidelines), as amended (California Administrative Code Section 15000 et seq.). This MMP
complies with the rules, regulations, and procedures adopted by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for
implementation of CEQA.

Section 21081, the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project
which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on
the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project
implementation. For those changes which have been required or incorporated into the project at the request of
an agency having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so
requested by the lead or responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program."
