CC RES 1977-022 RESOLUTION NO. 77-22
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
NO. 31617
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract Map No. 31617 has been filed, which would create
eighty (80) single family lots of 20,000 square feet minimum, from an existing
50 acre parcel, including construction of public streets, drainage system, sewers,
and undergrounding of utilities; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held hearings on this matter and
has recommended approval, subject to stated conditions; and
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the City's
Development Code, a public hearing was held on April 5, 1977, 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 these eighty (80) single family lots of
20,000 square feet minimum and improvements is consistent with the Development
Code and General Plan.
Section 2: The proposed use of the lots is for single family dwellings,
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 accommo-
date Tentative Tract No. 31617 in terms of design and density, and will not re-
sult 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 environmental impact report.
Section 4: That the creation of eighty (80) single family lots and asso-
ciated 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 surrounding 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: There are no public easements which will be interfered with
by the proposed division of land.
Section 6: Dedications required by local ordinance are shown on the ten-
tative map and/or set forth in the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Section 7: That the City Council does hereby certify that the final
environmental impact report 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, public vistas protected, drainage adequately
planned for, and other issues mitigated as discussed in the Environmental Impact
Report.
Section 8: For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 31617 sub-
ject to the attached conditions marked Exhibit "A", which are necessary to pro-
tect the public health, safety and general welfare in the area.
INTRODUCED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 5th day of April, 1977.

a. Establish a building/grading restriction line for lots which are shown

ant to Section 9113 of the City's Development Code.
c. Identify all factors that involve structure appearance, use restrictions,
and landscape restrictions.

side the building/grading restriction line.
e. Provide that all dedicated trail easements or offers of easement dedica-
tion shall not allow for structures, accessory structures, fence, hedge

14. Prior to filing of the final map, the developer shall submit a hydrology
study to the City Engineer to determine any adverse impacts to existing
flood control facilities generated by this project. Should the City Engineer
determine that adverse impacts will result, the developer will be required to
post a cash deposit or bond or combination thereof in an amount to be deter-
mined by the Director of Public Works, which will be based on the project's

date the total domestic and fire flows required for the land division.
Page 2 Exhibit "A" to Resolution No. 77-22

priate permits must be obtained from the city.
