A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA,
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
COMMERCIAL TENNIS FACILITY
WHEREAS, Pettengill, Kamen and Associates have requested a con-
ditional use permit for a commercial tennis facility on a leased
portion of the Marymount Palos Verdes College campus; and
WHEREAS, after notice required by the City's Zoning Ordinance,
public hearings were duly held on the requested conditional use per-
mit on August 6 and 20, 1974, and September 17, 1974 , at which time
all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and
to present evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE , the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows :
Section 1. Said real property is in the RA-1 District and the
proposed use is permitted therein by conditional use permit . Said
real property is described as a portion of the Marymount Palos
Verdes College campus, situated at 6717 Palos Verdes Drive South,
City of Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The area to be utilized under
the permit is planned by the College for recreational use.
Section 2. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, landscaping
and other development features prescribed in this resolution. The
proposed courts would not be visible to more than ten residences,
which are located on the South Side of Via La Cresta, from which
the courts would be distant at least 330 feet. The site is at a
substantially lower elevation than the adjacent residential area,
and is partially isolated therefrom by the natural topography.
24" box trees, properly placed as a part of an approved landscape
plan, would provide additional view and sound protection.
Section 3. The site is adequately served by two major thorough-
fares, Hawthorne Boulevard on the North and Palos Verdes Drive on
the South, and streets of sufficient width and improved as necessary
to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate,
and by other public or private service facilities as are required.
The additional traffic generated by the proposed use would not result
in any substantial impairment of traffic circulation or safety.
Section 4 . Based upon the evidence presented, the facilities
to be located on and the uses to be conducted on said real property
will not adversely affect the health, peace, comfort or welfare of
persons residing or working in the surrounding area, or be materially
detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other
persons located in the vicinity of the site, or jeopardize, endanger
or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or
general welfare.
Section 5 . For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants to Pettengill, Kamen and
Associates a conditional use permit to allow the construction and
use of a commercial tennis facility on said real property subject to
the following conditions, which conditions are necessary to protect
the health, safety, and general welfare in the District:
1. . Final site, architectural, landscaping, irrigation, signing,
lighting, and fence plans shall be approved by the Director
