NO. 33093
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract No. 33093 has been filed, which would create
26 lots, including 23 single family lots, one lot for condominium purposes, and
two open space lots, from an 11.07 acre parcel, pursuant to multiple family
residential 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 Per-
mit No. 29; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the City's
Development Code, a public hearing was held on March 21, 1978, at which time
all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evi-
dence.
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 26 lots and related improvements is con-
sistent with the City's Development Code and General Plan.
Section 2: The proposed use of Lots 1-23 is for single family attached
and detached dwelling units, Lot 25 is for condominium purposes, and Lots 24
and 26 are for open space and that said development is compatible with the ob-
jectives, policies, general land use, and programs specified in the General
Plan.
Section 3: That the subject property is physically suitable to accommo-
date Tentative Tract No. 33093 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 Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 309.
Section 4: That the creation of 24 residential lots and two commonly
owned lots and associated improvements will not be materially detrimental to
property values, jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the
public health, safety or general welfare of persons or properties in the sur-
rounding area, nor will it adversely affect the peace, health, safety or general
welfare of the area, since physical improvements, dedications, and maintenance
agreements are required.
Section 5: That the division and development of the property will not
unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity
and/or public utility rights of way and/or easements within the tract.
Section 6: Dedications required by local ordinance are shown on the
tentative map and/or set forth in the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Section 7: That the City Council does hereby declare that a Negative
Declaration was granted in compliance with CEQA and State Guidelines and that
the Council has reviewed and considered the contents of the Initial Study 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, vehicu-
lar access to future and existing dwelling units will be improved, and other
issues mitigated as discussed in the Initial Study.
Section 8: For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the City
of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants approval of Tentative Tract Map No.
33093, subject to the attached conditions marked Exhibit "A", which are
necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the
