WHEREAS,pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,Public Resources
Code Sections 21000 et.seq. ("CEQA"),the State CEQA Guidelines,California Code of Regulations,Title 14,
Sections 15000 et. seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65952.5(e)
(Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement),on September 10,2008,copies of the draft Addendum No.36
to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 were distributed to the City Council and prior to taking action on the
proposed Revision"00"to the Trump National Golf Club project,the City Council independently reviewed and
considered the information and findings contained in Addendum No. 36 to EIR No. 36; and,
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2008, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the
Development Code, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Addendum No. 36 and the proposed
Revision"00"to the Trump National Golf Club, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity
to be heard and present evidence; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES
HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Revision "00", is a request to allow lot 18 of Tract 50667 to grade and construct
improvements over existing 2:1 slopes.
Section 2: In considering the proposed revisions to the project,the City Council has determined that
the preparation of Addendum No. 36 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 is appropriate, since the
approved changes in the project will not result in any new significant environmental impacts which were not
Resolution No. 2008-85
Page 5 of 9
previously identified and analyzed in Environmental Impact Report No.36,that the approved changes will not
result in an increase in any previously identified significant environmental impacts, that the Addendum does
not contain new information of substantial importance to the project and that only minor technical changes or
additions are necessary to make Environmental Impact Report adequate under the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act(CEQA).
This is so,since the approved changes will: 1)not be readily visible from surrounding properties or the
public right of way, 2)the proposed improvements will occur in areas that will not cause any significant view
impairments,3)there will be no parking or traffic related impacts as a result of the proposed changes,4)there
will be no impacts to geology as a result of the approved changes, and 6) there have been no substantial
changes to the Project or to the environment that would cause the Project to significantly impact the
environment, nor does the proposed amendment affect a change that would impact the environment in any
manner that was not previously considered and mitigated to the extent feasible.
Therefore, based on the review of Draft Addendum No. 36 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36
prepared in association with the proposed Revision "00" to the Trump National Golf Club project, as
conditioned,the City Council finds that the project still mitigates,or reduces to the extent feasible,significant
adverse effects to adjacent properties or the permitted uses thereof. In approving the revised project,the City
Council finds that social,recreational,and other benefits of the project continue to outweigh any unavoidable
adverse environmental impacts that may occur and that due to overriding benefits and considerations, any
unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of the project are acceptable. Accordingly, the City Council
incorporated, by reference, the Final EIR No. 36, the Supplemental EIR, the second Supplemental EIR,
Addenda Nos. 1,22 3,4, 5, 62 79 89 9, 109 119 12, 13, 149 15, 162 177 189 192 207 219 22,239 249 25,269 279 28,
292 302 31, 322 33, 34, 35,and 36, and Resolution No.92-115(which includes,without limitation,the detailed
statement of overriding considerations set forth therein).
Section 3: Pursuant to Section 17.60.050 of the Development Code, in approving Revision"00"to
Conditional Use Permit No. 162 the City Council finds as follows:
A. That the golf course and related uses are consistent with the General Plan and its objectives. The
General Plan land use map designates almost the entire project site as residential,with a maximum
density of one dwelling unit per acre,and shows the coastal bluffs as hazard areas. The General Plan
provides for additional commercial recreational uses within the City as appropriate to a particular
location, including golf, equestrian,tennis and other recreational activities, and designates the City's
entire coastal area as a specific plan district.
Additionally, that the project complies with the criteria set forth in the General Plan for the Natural,
Socio/Cultural and Urban Overlay Control Districts on the site. As conditioned,the project preserves
natural drainage courses and significant geologic,biologic and hydrologic features in compliance with
the Natural Overlay Control District, protects areas that have significant historical, archeological or
cultural importance in compliance with the Socio/Cultural District and preserves, protects and
enhances public views and vistas in compliance with the Urban Overlay Control District.
B. That the proposed golf course use is consistent with the City's Development Code as a conditionally
permitted use in any district when deemed to be necessary or desirable for the public convenience or
welfare and when the use is not contrary to the General Plan or its objectives or contrary to the
Coastal Specific Plan or its objectives and requirements. Public recreational uses, such as a golf
course, are encouraged by policies of the Coastal Specific Plan and General Plan. A public golf
course is necessary and desirable in that it will provide a cash surplus to the City, it will add to the
views from adjacent properties and from Palos Verdes Drive South, it will permit expanded public
access to the coast. Further,as current demand for golf tee times greatly exceeds supply for existing
public golf courses on the Peninsula, many peninsula and City residents must travel great distances to
golf.
Resolution No. 2008-85
Page 6 of 9
The City Council hereby finds that the proposed golf course is necessary and desirable for the public
convenience and welfare and,as set forth in sections 2(A)&(B)above, it is not contrary to either the
General Plan or the Coastal Specific Plan.
C. That given the adjacent land uses and the project's location and design, as modified herein, and
recommended conditions imposed through this permit, the 261.4 acre site is adequate in size and
configuration to accommodate the proposed uses including a Residential Planned Development and
golf course.
More specifically, since the proposed grading and related retaining walls will not be readily visible
from the public right of way or neighboring properties, there will be no change in appearance of
the structure from what is currently permitted. Additionally, since the proposed retaining walls will
be aesthetically treated and blend into the existing hillsides, there will be no significant change in
appearance than what is currently permitted.
D. That given the adjacent land uses and the project's location and design, as modified herein, and the
recommended conditions imposed by Conditional Use Permit No. 162 Revision"00",attached hereto
as Exhibit"A",the site is adequate in lot size and configuration to accommodate the residential units,
golf course, clubhouse, four affordable housing units and other related facilities.
E. That the site is served by Palos Verdes Drive South that is an improved street designed to carry the
type and quantity of traffic that would be generated by the proposed project.
F. That given the site location, project design,and recommended conditions imposed through this permit
and attached hereto as Exhibit"A", including setbacks, heights, lighting, landscaping,fencing, hours
of operation, and other recommended conditions, the approved use will not significantly adversely
affect the peace, health, safety, or general welfare of the area, nor will it be materially detrimental to
property values,jeopardize,endanger,or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health,safety,
and welfare of persons in the surrounding area.
G. That the proposed project,as conditioned, mitigates or reduces significant adverse effects to adjacent
properties or the permitted uses thereof. In approving the revision, the City Council finds that the
social, recreational,and other benefits of the project outweigh any unavoidable adverse environmental
impacts that may occur. The project provides visitor-serving uses in the coastal zone and, as a
floating commercial use,the proposed golf course complies with permitted uses in the RS-1/RPD and
zone as shown in the Official Zoning Map, and with permitted single family residential uses as
designated in the General Plan, and Coastal Specific Plan,while preserving and enhancing habitat
areas and providing passive and active recreational uses with a bluff road, public parking,trails,and
vista points that will provide public recreational opportunities and preserve public vistas.
More specifically,as modified by this approval, since the proposed grading and related retaining
walls will not be readily visible from the public right of way or neighboring properties, there will be
no significant change in appearance of the structure from what is currently permitted.
Section 4: The mitigation measures contained in the Mitigation Monitoring Programs contained in
Resolution No.96-72, Resolution No.2000-38,and Resolution No.2000-58,as adopted by the City Council on
September 3, 1996, June 21, 2000, and September 5, 2000, respectively, are hereby incorporated by
reference into the Conditions of Approval for the revisions to Conditional Use Permit No. 162.
Section 5: 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 6: For the forgoing reasons, and based on information and findings contained in the public
record, including staff reports, minutes, records of proceedings, and evidence presented at the public
Resolution No. 2008-85
Page 7of9
