A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING AN ADDENDUM TO FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NUMBER 39 -R FOR
THE ALTA MIRA CANYON DRAINAGE CONTROL
PROJECT
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Board of Directors (the "Board ") of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency ") previously certified a final environmental impact
report and first and second addenda thereto (collectively the "FEIR ") for the Alta Mira
Canyon Drainage Control Project (the "Project ") through the adoption of Agency
Resolution No. RDA 96 -04. In certifying the FEIR the Board adopted a Statement of
Findings and Facts in Support of Findings as required by the California Environmental
Quality Act ( "CEQA ") and a Statement of Overriding Considerations. Resolution No.
RDA 96 -04 is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
Section 2. After the FEIR was certified, staff revised the design of certain
elements of the Project to address concerns and questions raised by neighboring
residents and resource agencies with permit authority over the Project. Pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the Agency has caused to be prepared a Third
Addendum to the previously certified FEIR because minor technical changes to the
FEIR were made necessary by the redesign of the Project. Substantial evidence in the
record of the proceeding before the Agency Board including, without limitation, reports
from staff and consultants and the Third Addendum document itself, demonstrates that
the redesigned elements of the Project are not substantial changes to the Project or
new information of substantial importance as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162. The Project revisions would not intensify any identified impact and the
proposed elimination of improvements in lower Alta Mira Canyon would substantially
reduce previously identified biological impacts. No factors are present that would
require the preparation of either a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA.
Section 3. Based upon the foregoing, the Agency Board hereby adopts the Third
Addendum to the FEIR. The Executive Director is directed to attach the said
addendum to the FEIR in the Agency's files and to distribute copies to all persons who
have requested copies of the FEIR.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 5th day of October, 1999.
Resol. No. RDA 99 -18
