At a later date, VH Property Corp withdrew their request for item 1) above; and,
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)

No. 36; and,
WHEREAS, on March 2, 2004, March 16, 2004, and April 20, 2004, after notice issued pursuant to the
provisions of the Development Code, the City Council held a public hearing to consider draft Addendum No.
Resolution No. 2004 -31
Page 4 of 10
17 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 and the proposed Revision "V" to the Ocean Trails project, 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: This request, Revision "V ", is for:
1) An amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 162, Conditions Q -2, Q -3 and Q -4, allowing
basement areas of one -story structures in Tract No. 50667 to be excluded from the existing
30% "Maximum Habitable Space" requirement, but require that the basement habitable area
be added to the first floor habitable area in complying with the "Maximum Habitable Space
Square Footage" requirement; and
2) An amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 162, Conditions S -2 and S -3 and a Grading
Permit to change the height of Lot #2 of Tract No. 50667, to allow for a subterranean garage
and for the construction of 10' high retaining walls, 260 cubic yards of grading for the
driveway, and 1,730 cubic yards of grading for the proposed subterranean garage /basement
on Lot #2 only.
3) Amendments to clear up specific ambiguities in the existing conditions of approval pertaining
to the City's acceptance of open space lots, the status of the Palos Verdes Drive South
reconstruction project, the status of providing off -site affordable housing units, and the status
of completing the project's Maintenance Building. Specifically, this includes an amendment
to Conditional Use Permit No. 162, Condition D -3 and adding new conditions 1 -2 and 1 -3;
amendments to Conditional Use Permit No. 163, Conditions D -3 and E -2; and amendments
to Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 50666 and 50667, Conditions A -10 and 1 -3.
Section 2: In considering the proposed revisions to the project, the City Council has determined that
the preparation of Addendum No. 17 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 is appropriate, since the
subsequent 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 subsequent 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 requested 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 proposed changes, 5) that some of the changes will only clarify
the completion dates for certain project amenities, 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. 17 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36
prepared in association with the proposed Revision "V" to the Ocean Trails 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,
41 51 61 71 81 91 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, and Resolution No. 92 -115 (which includes, without
limitation, the detailed statement of overriding considerations set forth therein).
Resolution No. 2004 -31
Page 5 of 10
Section 3: That the creation of thirty -six (36) single - family residential lots, golf course with related
improvements and public open space, as conditioned, is consistent with the City's General Plan and Coastal
Specific Plan.
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 designates 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.
The Coastal Specific Plan land use map shows the following general uses for the project site: (a)
Residential (with a maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre) for the vast majority of the property, (b)
Hazard areas along the bluffs, the natural drainage course and in certain portions north of Paseo del Mar with
extreme slopes (greater than 35% in steepness), (c) a floating Retail Commercial area, and (d) Recreational
parking. The text of the Coastal Specific Plan expressly permits visitor - serving uses, such as a golf course,
subject to satisfaction of the requirements for granting a conditional use permit under the Development Code.
With 36 residential units on approximately 37.6 acres, the density is slightly below one dwelling unit
per acre and, therefore, consistent with the General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan.
Section 4: That the creation of thirty -six (36) single - family residential lots, common open space, a
public golf course, and public open space, as conditioned, is consistent with the City's Development Code for
projects within the RS -1 zoning district under a Residential Planned Development. In addition, a minimum of
30 percent of the site will be maintained within the residential development as common open space, exclusive
of the golf course. The 36 -Lot Revised Site Plan does not contemplate construction of any structures on land
with slopes in excess of 35 %, or on land currently zoned Open Space Hazard.
The majority of the subject property is zoned RS -1 (Residential Planned Development) with the bluff
face and the natural drainage course and certain areas north of Paseo del Mar being zoned as Open Space
Hazard (OH). In compliance with the requirements of the OH zoning district, the applicant will not construct
any permanent habitable structures on land that is zoned Open Space Hazard.
The RS -1 (RPD) zone requires a conditional use permit for any type. of development (§ 17.06.050)
and expressly permits single - family residential development and any other uses permitted under Chapter
17.02, including conditionally - permitted uses under Chapter 17.56, such as golf courses. (§ 17.06.030).
Accordingly, under Chapter 17.06 and Section 17.56.020 of the Development Code, residential development
and a golf course and related facilities are permissible uses, subject to a conditional use permit. The
necessary findings with respect to the conditional use permits required in connection with the Residential
Planned Development and golf course are contained in Resolutions Nos. 96 -75 and 96 -76 and amendments
thereto, respectively.
Furthermore, the residential portion of the project provides in excess of thirty percent of the
Residential Planned Development as common open space, which open space is sited in a manner that is
accessible for viewing and access by the general public from public roads and walkways and preserves views
to the coast.
Section 5: That the combination of the vacation of the central portion of Paseo del Mar and the
realignment of Paseo Del Mar as a long bluff road cul -de -sac taking access off of Palos Verdes Drive South
as provided in related applications is consistent with Coastal Specific Plan Subregion 7 Policy No. 16, which
states that " Paseo del Mar shall be improved to provide access to residential development and consideration
shall be given to relocating Paseo del Mar southward or exchanging it for another access route closer to the
bluff edge."
The intent of Coastal Specific Plan, Subregion 7, Policy 19 is further satisfied by the provision of an
8.9 acre Bluff Top Public Access Corridor with a minimum width of one hundred (100) feet located along the
bluff top between Half Way Point Park and Shoreline Park. The City Council finds that the Bluff Top Public
Access Corridor is similar in average width and area to any coastal bluff road which would otherwise be
constructed, if geologically feasible, pursuant to Coastal Specific Plan, Subregion 7, Policy 19.
Resolution No. 2004 -31
Page 6 of 10
Section 6: That the golf course and related uses are consistent with Coastal Specific Plan, Subregion
7, Policy 7 which states: "Ensure that any proposed commercial activity responds to the needs of the coastal
residents and shall not be of an intensity which would purposefully generate a service area external of the
coastal region." The City Council finds that the intent of the above policy is to limit traditional commercial
development (such as retail and office uses) so as not to create a service area external to the coastal region
and that such policy is not intended to apply to commercial recreational uses, which are encouraged by the
General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan. The City Council's interpretation of this policy is consistent with other
policies in the Coastal Specific Plan and with Resolution No. 82 -24, which adopted Coastal Specific Plan
Amendment No. 1 and specifically authorized visitor - serving uses, such as golf, in Subregion 7.
Section 7: That the trails plan as shown in the revised "Site Plan for Conditional Use Permit
Amendment Map No. 2" (dated June 19, 1996) submitted by the applicants is consistent with the Coastal
Specific Plan requirements relating to trails.
Section 8: That the golf course and related uses are consistent with Coastal Specific Plan policy and
Section 17.06.040.C.8 of the Development Code, which require the area seaward of corridor improvements to
be improved and either dedicated or permanently maintained through deed restriction for public use. Section
17.06.040.C.6 of the Development Code permits the preservation of open space by dedication, deed
restriction or other appropriate methods approved by the City. In compliance with these provisions and
policies, the East and West Bluff Preserves, Half Way Point Park, Half Way Point Preserve, the Bluff Top
Public Access Corridor, the Bluff Top Wildlife Corridor (located between the West Bluff Preserve and Half Way
Point Park) and the public paths, trails, parking and recreational areas associated with these public open
space areas will be improved by the applicants and offered to the City for dedication. Furthermore, the golf
course area will be improved by the applicants and permanently maintained through deed restriction for public
use. The City Council specifically finds that the deed restriction on the golf course land constitutes
permanently maintained public open space. Neither the Coastal Specific Plan nor Development Code
expressly prohibit active public recreational uses, or require only passive public uses, for the area seaward of
the conceptual bluff road.
Section 9: For purposes of the Subdivision Map Act, the design of the subdivision, golf course, or the
related improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat based on compliance with the City's Development Code, General Plan and
Coastal Specific Plan and consideration of information contained in Draft, Supplemental, and Addenda of
Environmental Impact Report No. 36.
The City Council acknowledges that there is the difference between the term "significant impact"
under CEQA and the term "substantial environmental damage" under the Subdivision Map Act. Draft EIR No.
36, Supplement to EIR No. 36, Second Supplement to EIR No. 36, and Addendum Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 147 15, 16 and 17 to EIR No. 36 are required to base environmental findings on "worst case"
basis. As a result, the Final EIR and Addendum No. 1 EIR conclude that significant impacts to biological
resources remain after mitigation because of the loss of raptor foraging area and because of the temporal loss
of Coastal Sage Scrub. Even with the 2:1 replacement of existing viable Coastal Sage Scrub and the other
mitigation measures contained in the Final EIR and Addendum no. 1 to EIR No. 36, the temporal loss of
Coastal Sage Scrub, which serves as natural habitat for the California gnatcatcher, is considered significant
due to the uncertainty that this species will be able to re- occupy the site after replacement of the Coastal Sage
Scrub. These environmental findings are primarily the result of grading for the golf course, which itself has
already been minimized through its links -type design. These specific findings and a corresponding statement
of overriding considerations are contained in Resolution No. 92 -115, which is hereby incorporated by
reference.
With the mitigation measures adopted by the City pursuant to Resolution No. 92 -115, and
recommended to be revised pursuant to Resolution No. 96 -72, the project will not result in substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat under the
Subdivision Map Act. However, even assuming that the project did result in substantial environmental
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, such damage or injury would be
caused primarily by grading for the golf course. The elimination of the golf course is not feasible because it
would not satisfy an important objective of the project: to provide visitor - serving public recreational uses,
which objective is encouraged by policies in the Coastal Specific Plan. For this reason, this alternative or
Resolution No. 2004 -31
Page 7 of 10
mitigation measure has been rejected by the City Council. Pursuant to Resolution No. 92 -115, the City has
made a finding of infeasibility with respect to elimination of the golf course.
Section 10: That the subject property is physically suitable to accommodate the revised Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 50667, as conditioned, in terms of design and density.
Section 11: That the creation of the lots, single family residential dwelling units, golf course, public
open space, and related improvements will not be materially detrimental to property values, nor will it
jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the surrounding areas, since physical
improvements, dedications and maintenance agreements are required.
Section 12: The City Council has considered the effect of the revised tract map on the housing needs
of the region as set forth in the City's Housing Element, and balanced these needs against the public service
needs of its residents and against available fiscal and environmental resources, and finds that the revised tract
map help to achieve those housing needs without unreasonably burdening the public service needs of existing
residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
Section 13: That the division and development of the property will not unreasonably interfere with the
free and complete exercise of the public entity and /or public utility rights -of -way and /or easements within the
tract.
Section 14: That the discharge of sewage from this land division into the public sewer system will not
violate the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7
(commencing with Section 13000 of the Water Code).
Section 15: That the design of the residential subdivision, golf course and associated improvements
are not likely to cause serious public health problems.
Section l 6: That the design of the residential subdivision, golf course, and the type of improvements
associated with them, will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use
of property within the proposed project. Further, public trail easements which are consistent with the policies
of the General Plan and the Coastal Specific Plan are required as a condition of this approval.
Section 17: That the design of the revised vesting tentative tract map provides for future passive or
natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
Section 18: That the revised vesting tentative tract map does not propose to divide land which is
subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.
Section 19: That dedications required by local ordinance are shown on the tentative map and /or are
set forth in the conditions of approval as previously approved.
Section 20: That the City considered the effect of approval of the residential subdivision on the
housing needs of the region in which the City is situated and balanced these needs against the public service
needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
Section 21: That as a result of the proposed modifications to the conditions of approval shown below
in Section 24 and in the attached Exhibit A, as approved by the City Council through Revision "V ", there are
changes in circumstances to the project which make the current conditions of VTTM No. 50667 no longer
appropriate or necessary. These modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner
of the property, nor do they alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded Map
No. 50667.
Section 22: 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 VTTM No. 50667.
Resolution No. 2004 -31
Page 8 of 10
Section 23: 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 24: 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
hearings, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Revision "V" to VTTM No.

has damaged this street segment, then they shall mutually agree upon a third party geotechnical
engineer (the "Engineer ") to make such determination. The Engineer shall determine, as soon as
reasonably feasible after his or her appointment, as to whether, and the extent to which, the
construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer is responsible for having damaged such
street segment. The decision of the Engineer shall be binding and non - appealable. If the Engineer
determines that the construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer is partially or fully
responsible for damaging such street segment, then the Developer shall be responsible for making a
financial contribution towards the reconstruction costs in proportion to the extent of such damage
caused by the construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer. Each party shall pay for the
costs and expenses of its engineer, with the parties sharing equally the cost of the Engineer.
Additionally, if it is determined as set forth above that the Developer is responsible for making a
financial contribution towards the reconstruction costs, the Developer shall receive a credit against
that cost, due to the additional amount being incurred by the Developer to reconstruct La Rotonda
Drive in accordance with this amended Condition 1 -3. The amount of credit shall be equal to the
difference between (1) the cost of resurfacing 25th Street from La Rotonda Drive to the easterly City
limits plus the cost of resurfacing La Rotonda Drive from Palos Verdes Drive South to the Fire Access
Road, and (2) the cost to reconstruct La Rotonda Drive from Palos Verdes Drive South to the Fire

the Developer has damaged this street segment, then they shall mutually agree upon a third party
geotechnical engineer (the "Engineer ") to make such determination. The Engineer shall
determine, as soon as reasonably feasible after his or her appointment, as to whether, and the
extent to which, the construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer is responsible for
having damaged such street segment. The decision of the Engineer shall be binding and non -
appealable. If the Engineer determines that the construction of the Ocean Trails project by the
Developer is partially or fully responsible for damaging such street segment, then the Developer
shall be responsible for making a financial contribution towards the reconstruction costs in
proportion to the extent of such damage caused by the construction of the Ocean Trails project by
the Developer. Each party shall pay for the costs and expenses of its engineer, with the parties
sharing equally the cost of the Engineer. Additionally, if it is determined as set forth above that the
Developer is responsible for making a financial contribution towards the reconstruction costs, the
Developer shall receive a credit against that cost, due to the additional amount being incurred by
the Developer to reconstruct La Rotonda Drive in accordance with this amended Condition 1 -3.
The amount of credit shall be equal to the difference between (1) the cost of resurfacing 25th
