("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 6, 2005, copies of the draft Addendum No. 25 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 were distributed to the City Council and prior to taking action on the proposed Revision "EE" to the Trump National Golf Course project, the City Council independently reviewed and considered the information and findings contained in Addendum No. 25 to EIR No. 36; and, WHEREAS, on March 6, 2007, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Development Code, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Addendum No. 25 and the proposed Revision "EE" to the Trump National Golf Course, 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 "EE", is a request to allow a change in the maximum building height for Lot No. 10. Section 2: In considering the proposed revision to the project, the City Council has determined that the preparation of Addendum No. 25 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 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 5) 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 Resolution No. 2007-22 Page 5 of 8 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. 25 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 prepared in association with the proposed Revision "EE"to the Trump National Golf Course 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, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25, 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 "EE" 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. Further, the approved change will not change the maximum ridgeline height as originally approved and will thus not cause any additional view impacts. This is consistent with General Plan Policy to "Enforce height controls to further lessen the possibility for view obstructions"(G.P. page 78). 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. 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 Resolution No. 2007-22 Page 6 of 8 configuration to accommodate the proposed uses including a Residential Planned Development and golf course. More specifically, since the partially subterranean garage and outdoor patio areas 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. 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 EE, 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. More specifically, the proposed change will not cause any additional parking impacts. Each structure in the Trump National Golf Club project is required to provide for 3 parking spaces. In comparison to the City's Development Code, which requires 2 parking spaces for structures less than 5,000 square feet, 3 parking spaces for structures greater than 5,000 square feet, and no further requirement beyond that, the residential structure will be compliant with the Development Code and provide enough on-site parking to meet the demand of the home. 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 garage and outdoor patio areas are partially subterranean and 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 Resolution No. 2007-22 Page 7 of 8 public hearings, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Revision "EE" for Conditional Use Permit No. 162, thereby revising conditions S-2 and S-3 as follows (strikethrough for text removed and bold underline for text added) and in the attached Exhibit "A", which are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
