Page 1 of 4
1. The pedestrian access corridor between Lots 21 and 22 has been numbered "Lot
85."
2. The wildlife access corridor between Lots 25 and 26 has been numbered "Lot 86."
3. Median strips have been created within the right-of-way of the bluff-top loop road
(Street 'A' on the tentative map) at the north and south entries from Palos Verdes
Drive West and are numbered "Lot 87" and "Lot 88," respectively.
4. Median islands have been created within the right-of-way at the intersections of the
bluff-top loop road (Street 'A') with Streets 'C', 'B' and 'D' and are numbered "Lot
89," Lot 90" and "Lot 91," respectively.
5. Residential lots 1, 30 and 31 and open space lots 80, 81, 82 and 83 have been
modified slightly to accommodate the additional open space lots described above.
6. The new open space lots 85 though 91 will be offered for dedication to the City for
open space and park purposes, along with open space lots 80 through 84.
Section 2: The final tract map submitted by the applicant is in substantial
compliance with the approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 46628 for the following
reasons:
1. The number (79) and, therefore, the density of the single family residential lots is
the same as the original approval.
2. The sizes and dimensions of the single family residential lots are generally
consistent with the approved project.
3. The layout of the public streets and trails are consistent with the approved project,
and provide the same connections as were provided in the original approval.
4. The number of open space lots has increased from five to twelve, but the total
acreage contained in the open space lots will remain the approximately the same,
and still significantly exceeds the minimum 30-percent dedication required by the
City's Development Code.
5. Public access to the site, including the bluff top road and open space areas, will be
provided in a manner consistent with the original approval.

Section 3: On March 17, 1992, the City Council certified Final Environmental
Impact Report No. 35 for the proposed project, including the associated Mitigation
Monitoring Program and Statement of Overriding Considerations. Since the proposed
modifications are in substantial conformance with the approved project analyzed in EIR
No. 35, the modifications will not result in any new significant impacts that were not
identified in the certified EIR. In addition, substantial changes to the project would not
occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which would
require revision to the certified EIR, since there are no new significant environmental
impacts that were not considered in the certified EIR, and there is no new information of
substantial importance to the project which indicates that the project will have one or more
significant effects not discussed previously in the EIR. Therefore, the Environmental
Impact Report previously certified for the proposed project adequate and does not require
any further analysis or revision.
Section 4: 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 5: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Minutes, testimony received at the hearing and other records
of proceedings, the City Council hereby finds that the final tract map dated as received by
the City on January 13, 1999, is in substantial conformance with Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 46628 approved by the City on March 17, 1992.
