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.
