CONSISTING OF A SEVENTY -FIVE LOT RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
(RPD), PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, AND AN 18 -HOLE PUBLIC GOLF COURSE WITH

Discussion of the motion focused on Council's inquiry of whether there had been any
substantive changes to this project since it was initially brought to the Council in 1992
or since it had been heard by the Council in September, 1996. Staff responded that no
significant changes had been made to this project since September, 1996 and that the
adoption of the Development Agreement would not result in any physical changes to
the project.
Upon completion of the discussion, the motion to Adopt Resol. No. 97 -92 carried
unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO. 328 OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING A
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER OF THE OCEAN TRAILS
PROJECT was INTRODUCED by title. Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by
Councilman Byrd to waive full reading and INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 328 and
approve the Declarations of Restrictions and Development Agreement attached
thereto. The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Ferraro, Byrd, Lyon, Hollingsworth & Mayor McTaggart
NOES: None
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Road, stated that she
appealed this development to the Coastal Commission because she was concerned
about the marine life and the toxic waste this golf course would discharge into the
ocean. She was concerned that the Development Agreement did not address the
issue of preventing pollutants from entering the ocean from this site.
Staff then clarified that the Development Agreement did not include the restrictions that
Ms. Larue was interested in. Instead, these restrictions are part of the Mitigation
Measures required by the project EIR, specifically requiring the developer to obtain an
NPDES permit.
ADJOURNMENT: At 10:20 a.m. the meeting adjourned on motion of Councilman
Byrd.
