65353 & 65453, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes held a

WHEREAS, after notice was issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho
Palos Verdes Development Code, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on
June 3, 2003, 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: The proposed change in the General Plan and Coastal Specific
Plan Land Use Designations are warranted since the proposed amendment is
consistent with the other elements of the General Plan and with the land use
designations on properties in the vicinity of the subject parcel. The land use designation
for the other properties on Sea Cove Drive is residential; inasmuch as the proposed
residential land use is consistent with these properties, the proposed change is
consistent with the General Plan.
Section 2: The proposed change in the General Plan and Coastal Specific
Plan Land Use Designations are warranted since the proposed amendment is in the
public's interest because, residential developments have fewer impacts to the
surrounding area than commercial land uses, thus a residential use on the subject
property would be in the interest of the other properties in the vicinity.
Section 3: 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 and other applicable short periods of limitation.
Section 4: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and
findings included in the Staff Report, Minutes and other records of these proceedings,
the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves the General Plan
Amendment and Coastal Specific Plan Amendment, thereby amending the General
Plan and Coastal Specific Plan Land Use Designations of the subject property from
Commercial (office) to Residential (2 -4 dwelling units per acre).
