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: This request, Revision "W ", is for: 1) a proposed new driving range; 2) a reduction of 16
residential lots in VTTM No. 50666; 3) adjustment to various lot lines within VTTM 50666; 4) the slight re-
location of previously approved public trails; 5) a Driving Range Use Program; 6) approximately 180,000 cubic

Section 2: In considering the proposed revisions to the project, the City Council has determined that
the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for the following reasons;
Resolution No. 2005 -63
Page 5 of 9
1. That subsequent changes proposed to the project do not require important revisions to the
previous EIR, since there are no new significant environmental impacts that have been
identified, which were not considered in the previous EIR. This, is evident through the
visual /view analysis, which shows that there will be no additional impacts to views /visual
characteristics and the safety analysis, which shows that the project as mitigated, will oot
cause significant hazards to pedestrians and neighboring land uses. Additionally, Since there
is no significant loss of habitat from this project revision, the revision is within the scope of the
approved Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and is exempt from the 4d- permit process, there
will be no significant impacts to habitat.
2. That substantial changes to the project would not occur with respect to the circumstances
under which the project is undertaken, which would require important revisions to the
previous EIR, since, as noted in #1 above, there are no new significant environmental
impacts that were not considered in the previous EIR, Supplements and previous Addenda
thereto.
3. That there is no new information of substantial importance t* the project which indicates that
the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed previously in the EIR; that
significant effects previously examined will not be substantially more severe than shown in
the EIR; that no mitigation measures or alternatives, previousiy found not to be feasible,
would now in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
of the project; or that no mitigation measures or alternatives which were not previously
considered in the EIR, would now substantially lessen one or more significant effects of the
environment.
Therefore, based on the review of the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared in association with'the
proposed Revision "W" to the Trump National Golf Club, 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, 21 3949 59 69 7189 92 10,119 12,139 14,
15, 16, and 17, 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 "W" to
Conditional Use Permit No. 162 the City Council finds as,follows:
A. That the golf course and related uses, along with the changes per this Revision "W ", which includes a
new driving range, 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.
Resolution No. 2005 -63
Page 6 of 9
Further, the proposed change will not significantly change the maximum ridgeline height as
originally approved, will remove 16 residential lots 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 and proposed driving range are 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 and driving range, are encouraged by policies of the Coastal
Specific Plan and General Plan. A public golf course and driving range are 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) above, it is not contrary to either the
General Plan or the Coastal Specific Plan.
C. That the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use and for all of the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other features required by this title or by conditions
imposed under this section to integrate said use with those on adjacent land and within the
neighborhood because the proposed project is large enough and designed to ensure public safety,
sufficient parking, minimal impacts upon habitat and public trails, and results in an increase of total
open space.
D. 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 original EIR No. 36 for the proposed project identified the PM peak hour as the highest trip
generation for the proposed golf course at 55 PM peak hour trips. The traffic study prepared for
this proposed project, which includes the golf course and driving range, indicates that the highest
trip generation will be the PM peak hour at 63 PM peak hour trips. As the proposed project also
involves the reduction of 16 residential lots with an estimated 16 PM peak hour trips, the total
estimated PM peak hour trips with the proposed project would be reduced from the estimated 63
PM peak hour trips to 47 PM peak hour trips (63 trips estimated for golf course and driving range -
16 trips reduced from loss of 16 residential homes = 47 total PM peak hour trips). As the
proposed project will result in less trip generation then the project as currently entitled, there will
be no significant adverse impacts to traffic and circulation.
F. That given the site location, project design, and recommended conditions imposed through this permit
and attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B ", including setbacks, heights, lighting, landscaping,
fencing, hours of operation, and other recommended conditions, the proposed 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.
Resolution No. 2005 -63
Page 7of9
G. That the proposed project, as conditioned, mitigates or reduces significant adverse effects to adjacent
properties or the permitted uses thereof. In recommending approval, 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, the proposed 10 residential lots north and adjacent to the proposed driving
range are located generally in the same location as 8 previously approved residential lots, with the
exception that the proposed 10 lots are orientated in a direction more perpendicular to the
direction of Palos Verdes Drive South and are smaller. Due to the revised lot orientation, in some
cases the proposed pad elevation will be higher than the previously approved pad elevation, while
in other cases it will be less than the height of the previous pad elevation. Regardless, all of the
proposed maximum ridge height elevations for the proposed homes on the 10 lots will be less
than the elevation of Palos Verdes Drive South directly north of the subject lot. More importantly,
the proposed project will remove lots from the lower two tiers of the existing approved subdivision,
which due to the angle of view, typically encroached into the ocean view more than the tier'of
homes located closest to Palos Verdes Drive South. As such, removing the lower two tiers of
homes actually frees up more ocean view than the previous proposal, even though some of the
proposed residences will be slightly higher than the original approved project. As such, the
potential for view impacts will be the same if not less than the current approved project. Further,
the proposed berm and tee areas to be located along the southern and eastern edges of the
driving range, which takes the place of 9 of the previously approved residential lots on the lowest
tier, will change the grading configuration in this area of the project site. Although the height of the
proposed berm will be less (in some cases up to 14') than the maximum ridge height elevation for
7 of the previously approved residential lots, the berm height is proposed to be higher (0.4' and
9.4') than the maximum ridge height elevation of 2 of the previously approved residential lots.
While the proposed berm will be higher in a relatively small area, given the distance and angle of
view, there will be no additional significant adverse impacts to scenic views as a result of the
proposed project. Additionally, the proposed project will not significantly impact or degrade the
existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings, as it would actually improve the
visual character by replacing 16 single - family residential lots and 2 public access streets with open
