HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the creation of sixty (60) single family lots, three (3)
open space lots, and related improvements is consistent with the City's Develop-
ment Code, General Plan, and Coastal Specific Plan.
Section 2: That the proposed use of the lots shall be for attached single
family dwelling units, common open space, common recreation facilities, and re-
lated improvements which are compatible with the objectives, policies, general
land use, and programs specified in the General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan.
Section 3: That the subject property is physically suitable to accommo-
date Tentative Tract No. 35040 in terms of design and density, and will not re-
sult in substantial environmental damage, based on compliance with the City's
Development Code, General Plan, and Coastal Specific Plan, and consideration of
information contained in the project's Final Negative Declaration (Environmental
Assessment No. 346).
Section 4: That the creation of the lots and associated improvements will
not be materially detrimental to property values, jeopardize, endanger, or other-
wise constitute a menace to the surrounding area, since physical improvements,
dedications, and maintenance agreements are required.
Section 5: That the division and development of the property will not un-
reasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity
and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or easements within the tract.

lic sewer system will not violate the requirements of the California Regional

tive Declaration and Initial Study have been completed in compliance with CEQA
and State Guidelines and that the Council has reviewed and considered the con-
tents of the report in reaching its decision. The Council further finds that
the approval of this tentative tract map will not have a significant adverse
environmental impact because mitigation measures are required.
Section 9: For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 35040,
subject to the attached conditions marked Exhibit "A", which are necessary
to protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the area.
