NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE,AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: In considering the proposed revisions to the project,the City Council has determined that The adoption of this Resolution is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303. This is so,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. Section 2: Pursuant to Sections 17.06.030 and 17.56.060 of the Development Code,the City Council, in approving the revisions to Conditional Use Permit No 162 to implement the Residential Planned Development,finds as follows: A. That the proposed 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. With 75 residential units on approximately 77.2 acres,the density is below one dwelling unit per acre and,therefore, consistent with the General Plan. Resolution No. 98-59 Page 3of5 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. B. That the proposed residential use is specifically permitted and the proposed residential density is consistent with the Residential Single Family, One Dwelling Unit Per Acre (RS-1)zoning designation and the requirements of a Residential Planned Development(RPD)special district, as shown on the City's Official Zoning Map. The project provides a minimum of thirty percent of the Residential Planned Development as common open space,which open space is sited in a manner that is accessible to viewing by the general public from public roads and walkways and preserves views to the coast. C. That given the adjacent land uses and the project's location and design, as modified herein, and 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, golf course and public open space, and that the Residential Planned Development complies, or is conditioned to be consistent with,the Development Standards contained in Development Code Section 17.06.040. D. That given the adjacent land uses and the project's location and design, as modified herein, and the conditions imposed by Conditional Use Permit No. 163, as revised and attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,the site is adequate in lot size and configuration to accommodate the golf course, clubhouse and 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 conditions imposed through this permit and attached hereto as Exhibit"A", including setbacks, heights, lighting, landscaping,fencing and other 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. 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 implements the RS-1/RPD designation of the site as shown in the Official Zoning Map, General Plan, and Coastal Specific Plan,while preserving a minimum of thirty(30) percent of each tract as common open space,exclusive of the golf course uses,with public parking,trails, and vista points that will provide public recreational opportunities and preserve public vistas and habitat areas. Section 3: The mitigation measures contained in the revised Mitigation Monitoring Program attached as Exhibit"B"to Resolution No.96-72 are hereby incorporated by reference into the Conditions of Approval for the revisions to Conditional Use Permit No. 162. 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. Resolution No. 98-59 Page 4 of 5 Section 5: 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 rescinds P.C. Resolution No. 97-44 for Revision"D"to Conditional Use Permit No. 162 and approves Revision "F"to Conditional Use Permit No. 162, subject to: 1) the Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit "A", which are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare; and, 2)the approval of Revision "F"to Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50667.
