("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 October 30, 2003, copies of the draft Addendum No. 16 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 were distributed to the City Council and prior to taking action on the proposed Revision "U" to the Ocean Trails project, the City Council independently reviewed and considered the information and findings contained in Addendum No. 16 to EIR No. 36; and, WHEREAS, on November 5, 2003, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Development Code, the City Council held a public hearing to consider draft Addendum No. 16 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 and the proposed Revision "U" 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: As approved by the City Council, this application permits Amendment "U" to Conditional Use Permit No. 163, allowing Ocean Trails to expand the size of the existing Clubhouse building. Section 2: In considering the proposed revisions to the project, the City Council has determined that the preparation of Addendum No. 16 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 is Resolution No. 2003-91 Page 5 of 8 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, because 1) the proposed improvements will occur in areas that will not cause any significant view impairments, and 2) there will be no impacts to the amount of available parking on the site, and 3) there will be no impacts to geology as a result of the proposed expansion, and 4) 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. 16 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 prepared in association with the proposed Revision "U" 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, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, and Resolution No. 92-115 (which includes, without limitation, the detailed statement of overriding considerations set forth therein). Section 3: Pursuant to Section 17.56.060 of the Development Code, in approving Revision "U" to Conditional Use Permit No. 163 for the public golf course and related uses, 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. Further, 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. 2003-91 Page 6of8 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 3(A) 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. 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. 163 Revision "U", attached hereto as Exhibit "A", the site is adequate in lot size and configuration to accommodate the golf course, clubhouse, four affordable housing units and other related facilities. E. That the site is served by Palos Verdes Drive South, which 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 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. 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. Resolution No. 2003-91 Page 7 of 8 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. 163. Section 7: 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 8: That Condition C-2 of Conditional Use Permit No. 163 shall be revised as follows (strikethrough for text removed and bold for text added): "The size, height, design and placement of the clubhouse shall substantially conform to the plans reviewed by the City Council, which are entitled "Proposed Club House Expansion and Remodel", prepared by Envirotechno, dated June 11, 2003 and dated as received by the City on October 30, 2003 August 13, 2003. The maximum size of the Clubhouse shall be 41,281 407646 square feet. Any increases to the size of the structure shall require approval of an amendment to this Conditional Use Permit by the City Council. Further, the Basement Space can only be utilized provided that the developer obtains all necessary approvals and permits from the Building Department and Fire Department." Section 8: 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 "U" to Conditional Use Permit No. 163, amending condition C-2 by permitting an expansion of the Clubhouse Building, as shown in the attached Exhibit "A", which is necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. All other conditions of approval that have been imposed on this project shall remain in effect and are incorporated herein.
