A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING TENTATIVE
TRACT NO. 32110
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract No. 32110 has been filed, which would create eleven
(11) single family lots and one (1) commonly owned lot, from a 25.2 acre parcel,
pursuant to the Residential Planned Development (R.P.D.) provisions of the City's
Development Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held hearings on this matter and has
recommended approval, subject to stated conditions and Conditional Use Permit
No. 33; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the City's
Development Code, a public hearing was held on May 2, 1978, 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: That the creation of twelve (12) lots and related improvements
under the provisions of the Residential Planned Development is consistent with
the City's General Plan and Development Code.
SECTION 2: The proposed use of the lots is for single family dwellings and
common open space, which is compatible with the objectives, policies, general
land use, and programs specified in the General Plan.
SECTION 3: That the subject property is physically suitable to accommodate
Tentative Tract No. 32110 in terms of design and density, and will not result in
substantial environmental damage, based on compliance with the City's Development
Code and General Plan, and consideration of information contained in the project's
Final Negative Declaration.
SECTION 4: That the creation of eleven (11) single family lots and one (1)
commonly owned lot and associated improvements will not be materially detrimental
to property values, jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise 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. (there
are no public easements)
SECTION 6: The discharge of sewage from this land division into the public
sewer system will not violate the requirements of the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000 of
the Water Code).
SECTION 7: Dedications required by local ordinance are shown in the tentative
map and /or set forth in the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "A ".
SECTION 8: That the City Council does hereby declare that the Final Negative
Declaration and Initial Study has been completed in compliance with CEQA and State
Guidelines and that the Council has reviewed and considered the contents 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 grading has been minimized, drainage is adequately planned for, and other
issues mitigated as discussed in the Initial Study.
SECTION 9: For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 32110,
subject to the attached conditions marked Exhibit "A ", which are necessary
to protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the area.
