NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Resolution No. 2001-71
Page 2 of 5
Section 1: The subject applications would permit the division of a 3.92 acre lot
into thirteen (13) residential lots. The proposed lots will maintain a minimum lot area of
10,000 square feet and a minimum contiguous lot area of 3,300 square feet, as required
by the City's Development Code and Subdivision Ordinance for lots located within the
designated RS-4 (Single-Family Residential) zoning district. As proposed, nine (9) of the
lots will maintain access off Palos Verdes Drive West via a new publicly dedicated
street, and the remaining four (4) lots will be accessed off Via Victoria, an existing public
street. The subject property is currently improved with an existing single-family
residence and detached garage that will be demolished prior to the recordation of the
final tract map. Furthermore, the proposed subdivision requires 16,500 cubic yards of
associated grading, consisting of 7,500 cubic yards of cut and 9,000 cubic yards of fill,
of which 1,500 cubic yards will be imported onto the site. The City Council finds that the
proposed project is permitted within the RS-4 zoning district, and would not result in
significant adverse environmental impacts. In making this finding, the City Council
considered the project's mitigation measures that address the issues of Aesthetics, Air
Quality, Cultural Resources, Geology, Noise, Traffic/Circulation, Utilities, and Water
Quality.
Section 2: That the creation of thirteen (13) single-family residential lots is
consistent with the provisions of the General Plan and the type of land use and density
identified in the City's General Plan, Residential / 2-4 Dwelling Units per Acre; and, as
conditioned, is consistent with the City's Development Code for projects within the RS-4
zoning district, and will not significantly impact the required land use
Section 3: That the creation of thirteen (13) single-family residential lots is
designed to comply with the minimum 10,000 square foot lot area requirement and the
minimum 3,300 square foot contiguous lot area requirement for newly created lots in the
City's RS-4 zoning district; and that the newly created lots comply with the minimum lot
width and depth standards required for the RS-4 zoning district.
Section 4: 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; and that the dedications
required by local ordinance are shown on the Tentative Tract Map and/or are set forth in
the attached conditions of approval.
Section 5: That the subject use, as conditioned, mitigates or reduces
significant adverse effects to adjacent properties or the permitted uses thereof and will
create a project that will be sensitive and harmonious with the surrounding area.
Section 6: The project will not result in significant adverse affects to
topography; destruction, covering, or modification of unique geologic or physical
features; impacts to archeological or paleontological resources; or expose persons to
seismic ground failure, landslides, or other known hazards; affect any plant or animal
species or result in the removal of any sensitive Plant Life or Animal Life. Although on-
Resolution No. 2001-71
Page 3 of 5
site grading is proposed, a Geotechnical Report addressing the scope of the project
grading has been conceptually approved by the City's Geotechnical Engineer in the
Planning Stage, further reports will be required to be reviewed and approved by the
City's Building Official and the City's Geotechnical Consultant prior to issuance of
grading or building permits. Furthermore, the Geotechnical Report shall provide the
developer with applicable conditions for which the project shall be constructed, along
with other conditions that the City's Building Official and City's Geotechnical Consultant
find necessary to ensure the project is constructed in a manner that does not jeopardize
the public's health, safety and welfare. As such, conditions will ensure that the
proposed project will not cause any significant geological impacts.
Section 7: That the grading is not excessive beyond that necessary for the
primary residential use since the earthwork is necessary to mitigate the issues of view
impairment from within the tract as well as outside the tract, to create development that
is harmonious with the surrounding neighborhoods, and, in part, is necessary to
improve access and drainage on the site.
Section 8: That the grading and/or construction does not significantly
adversely affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from, neighboring sites since
the grading will create building pads that allow view corridors of the ocean laterally over
the lots and future residences. The manufactured 2:1 transitional slopes will be
vegetated in a manner that protects the slopes from erosion and slippage, while
minimizing the visual effects of the proposed earth movement.
Section 9: That the proposed grading does not significantly alter the natural
contours since the site was previously disturbed at the time the existing residence on
the subject property was developed and the surrounding residential tracts were
developed. The proposed earth movement is designed in a manner to resemble the
site's existing contours by integrating the man-made features, consisting of transitional
slopes, into the building pads that gradually ascend from the western property line to the
eastern property line.
Section 10: That the proposed public street is designed to resemble the existing
contours of the site, originating off Palos Verdes Drive West and terminating at a cul-de-
sac near the upper portion of the subject property. The proposed street will commence
at a slope of approximately 7% for the first 180 feet and will reach a maximum gradient
of 15%. The proposed street requires improvements that will be reviewed and
approved by the City's Public Works Director, the City's Building Official and the Los
Angeles County Fire Department prior to issuance of grading permits.
Section 11: Pursuant to the City's Development Code, new residential
construction shall be developed in a manner that is consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood, as it pertains to size, mass and bulk, architectural style and front yard
setbacks, in order to preserve the character of established neighborhoods. As such,
conditions will require that the design of the future residences be reviewed under the
Resolution No. 2001-71
Page 4 of 5
City's "Neighborhood Compatibility" analysis through a Site Plan Review application,
unless otherwise noted.
Section 12: The applicant has consulted the lists prepared pursuant to Section
65962.5 of the Government Code and has submitted a signed statement indicating
whether the project and any alternatives are located on a site which is included on any
such list, and has specified any such list. The Lead Agency has consulted the lists
compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code, and has certified that
the development project and any alternatives proposed in this application are not
included in these lists of known Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites as compiled by
the California Environmental Protection Agency.
Section 13: For the foregoing reasons and based on its independent review and
evaluation of the information and findings contained in the Initial Study, Staff Reports,
minutes, and records of the proceedings, the City Council has determined that the
project as conditioned and mitigated will not result in a significant adverse impact on the
environment. Therefore, the City Council hereby approves, with conditions, Tentative
Tract Map No. 52666 and Grading Permit No. 2282, in association with certain
environmental findings for Environmental Assessment No. 708 to allow the land division
of a 3.92 acre lot into thirteen (13) residential lots at a minimum lot area of 10,000
square feet within the RS-4 zoning district and to allow 16,500 cubic yards of associated
grading on property located at 3200 Palos Verdes Drive West.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 4th day of September, 2001.
