Section 1. That, given the conditions contained herein and
applying hereto, the requested use at the location proposed will not:

because the factors which present potential conflict with
this finding, specifically the tennis courts, the abutting
circular parking area, and the most northerly driveway
access, have been duly prescribed for in Exhibit "A" of
this Resolution; or
b. Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valu-
ation of property of other persons located in the vicinity
of the site, for the same reasons expressed in (a) above,
and because the use is not materially different from the
present activities; or
c. Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to
the public health, safety or general welfare, by the nature
of its use or by its clientele; and
Section 2 . That the proposed site being 22 acres is adequate
in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, and load-
ing facilities, landscaping, and other development features as pre-
scribed in this Resolution, or as is otherwise required in order to
integrate said use with the surrounding area; and
Section 3. That the proposed site is adequately served by:
a. A well-developed arterial, Palos Verdes Drive East, of
sufficient width and which is improved as necessary to
carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would gen-
erate , and the existing facility has over 100 parking
spaces and good vehicular access for the proposed use; and
b. Other public and private service facilities as are required
and are presently serving the existing facility.
Section 4 . That the proposed use is not in substantial conflict
with the General Plan in that:
a. The proposed use is for a two-year private liberal arts
community college; and
b. The Land Use Plan of the General Plan of the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes designates the subject property for Institutional
Educational Usage.
Section 5. For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the City
of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants a conditional use permit on the
property located at 30800 Palos Verdes Drive East, whose legal descrip-
tion is contained in Exhibit 11B" and is a part hereof, to operate
