in Addendum No. 5 to EIR No. 36 and revised Mitigation Monitoring Program, and determined that the
documents were prepared in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and
local guidelines, with respect thereto; and,
WHEREAS, on September 3,1996, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Development
Code, the City Council held a public hearing to consider draft Addendum No. 5 to Environmental Impact Report
No. 36 and the proposed Revision "C" to the Ocean Trails project, at which time all interested parties were given
an opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
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 preparation of Addendum No. 5 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 is 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, since the revised project will result in no significant change in the impacts identified in the
previous EIR. The relocation of two single family residential lots in Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50667 from
the end of Street "A" (Lot Nos. 34 and 35 on the previously approved plan) to the end of Street "C" (Lot Nos.
8 and 9 on the revised plan) and the revision to the golf course layout for Hole Nos. 3, 4 and 5 does not result
in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since these improvements would be located in areas of
the subject property that were previously identified as part of the developed and /or graded portion of the project.
The reconfiguration to the boundaries of common open space Lots B, C, G and H does not result in any new
or increased impacts to the environment, since the minimum required lot sizes of these lots will be maintained
and there will be no net decrease in the acreage of protected habitat. The conversion of the split-level lots to
single -pad lots in Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50667 and the proposed changes to the maximum building
heights on some of these lots does not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since the
views of the ocean, Catalina Island and the coastline from Palos Verdes Drive South would not be adversely
impacted.
The proposed changes to the public trails in the project would not result in any new or increased
impacts to the environment, since 1) the realignment of the public trail from the La Rotonda parking lot to the
Resolution No. 96 -75
Page 3 of 6
Bluff Top Activity Corridor would increase the safety of the public using the lateral trail connection through the
golf course to the bluff top; 2) the provision to allow shared use of certain segments of the public trail for golf
carts would minimize the amount of pavement in these areas, minimize conflicts caused by crossing paths and
would not diminish public enjoyment of these trails; and, 3) the combination of parallel pedestrian and bicycle
trails into a single easement would not change the physical configuration of the trails once they have been
constructed. The construction of a paved fire access road on the seaward side of the Ocean Terraces
Condominiums does not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since the paved road would
improve public safety by providing all- weather access to the existing fire hydrants along the south side of the
condominium complex. The amendments to the Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Measures would not
result in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since these changes will not alter the effectiveness
of the Conditions of Approval and /or Mitigation Measures, and will act, instead, to ensure that the project are
better monitored and the impacts are fully mitigated.
Therefore, based on the review of Draft Addendum No. 5 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36
prepared in association with the proposed revisions 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 hereby incorporates into
this Resolution, by reference, the Final EIR No. 36, the Supplemental EIR, Addenda Nos. 1 29 3 and 4, and
Resolution No. 92 -115 (which includes, without limitation, the detailed statement of overriding considerations
set forth therein).
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.
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.
Resolution No. 96 -75
Page 4 of 6
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 "6" 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: 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 revisions to Conditional Use
Permit No. 162, subject to: 1) the Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit W', which are necessary to protect
the public health, safety and general welfare; 2) the approval of revisions to Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos.
50666 and 50667, Conditional Use Permit No. 163 and Grading Permit No. 1541; and, 3) approval of draft
Addendum No. 5 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36.
