THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON
JUNE 1, 2010 UNDER RESOLUTION NO.2010-42 FOR PLANNING CASE
NO.ZON2003-000317 FOR MARYMOUNT CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY TO
ADDRESS CONCERNS RELATING TO THE OPERATION OF THE
EXPANDED PARKING LOT (ALSO KNOWN AS THE EAST PARKING
LOT) PROJECT AND TO CONDUCT AN ADDITIONAL REVIEW SIX
MONTHS FROM THE APRIL 15, 2014 CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO
REVIEW THE EFFECTIVENESS AND INTENT OF THE ADDED
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-41
certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Marymount Facilities Expansion
Project, making environmental findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA), adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations; and adopting a Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program; and,
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-42
approving with Conditions of Approval, the Marymount Facilities Expansion Project, which
among other improvements, included the construction of an Expanded Parking Lot (also
known as the East Parking Lot) to accommodate 463 parking spaces; and,
WHEREAS, on April 17, 2012, pursuant to Condition No. 8, the City Council
approved, as a Minor Modification to the Facilities Expansion Project, a minor
reconfiguration to the 2010 Council approved parking layout lot. The City Council
approved a reconfigured parking lot that resulted in the construction of 109 parking spaces
at the former location of the athletic field (Castle Field), 13 additional spaces at the existing
parking lot adjacent to the former Preschool building and 10 additional parking spaces
adjacent to the Administration Building; and,
WHEREAS, in January 2013, construction on the Expanded Parking Lot
commenced including the related drainage improvements; and,
WHEREAS, on August 6, 2013, construction on the Expanded Parking Lot was
completed, condition compliance was achieved by Marymount, and the City issued the
Final Certificate of Occupancy, which triggered the beginning of the 6-month review clock;
and,
WHEREAS, shortly after the Expanded Parking Lot became operational, the City
began receiving letters from neighboring property owners on San Ramon Drive and
Tarapaca Drive expressing concerns pertaining to visual, privacy, noise, and lighting
impacts associated with the operation of the parking lot; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and analyzed the recommended
amendments to the 2010 Council adopted Conditions of Approval in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and determined that the proposed revisions
to the project Conditions of Approval will require an Addendum to the Final Environmental
Impact Report ("FEIR"), which was certified by the City Council on June 1, 2010 under
Resolution No. 2010-41, which determined that the project's impacts, with the exception of
the impacts related to noise (short term - construction) and traffic (cumulative at Palos
Verdes Drive East and Palos Verdes Drive South), for which a statement of overriding
considerations was adopted, are not significant or that the potential impacts could be
mitigated to a less than significant impact. The City Council finds that the proposed
amendments to the conditions of approval, as shown in the attached Exhibit "B," will not
result in a deviation to the findings made by the Council when the project was approved,
and does not modify the scope of the project nor the related uses and amenities, but rather
strengthens the intent of the conditions adopted by the City Council to minimize project
related impacts to neighboring properties through the use of a privacy screening fence,
landscaping, and operational restrictions. As such, the City Council finds that the
amendments to the conditions of approval will not introduce new significant environmental
effects or substantially increase the severity of the environmental impacts that previously
were identified and analyzed in the FEIR (including potential view impairment from
neighboring properties); Furthermore, the City Council also finds that there are no changed
circumstances or new information, which was not known at the time the FEIR was certified,
that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR or major revisions to the FEIR
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and, in accordance with Section 15164 of the
State CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared Addendum No. 1 to the FEIR (the
"Addendum"), which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A;" and,
WHEREAS, on January 30, 2014, pursuant to Condition No. 18, a public
notice was published in the Peninsula News and mailed to property owners within a 500-
foot radius of the project site and to interested parties including list-serve subscribers,
inviting public comments on the Council's 6-month review of the applicant's compliance
with and adequacy of the Conditions of Approval, including amending, deleting or adding
new conditions as deemed necessary by the City Council; and,
WHEREAS, on February 18, 2014,the City Council held a duly noticed public
hearing to consider amendments to the Conditions of Approval and after receiving public
testimony, at the request of Marymount, continued the public hearing to April 1, 2014; and,
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2014, the City Council re-opened the public hearing
and considered proposed amendments to the Conditions of Approval.

ADDENDUM NO. 1 TO
FINAL ENVIRONMENT IMPACT REPORT
APRIL 15, 2014
On June 1, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-41, thereby certifying the
Final Environment Impact Report to allow the Marymount Facilities Expansion Project that
allows the modernization of the campus facilities including the demolition and construction
of new buildings, such as the gymnasium and library buildings; site improvements
consisting of an expanded parking lot to accommodate 463 parking spaces, a relocated
athletic field and tennis courts, and new pedestrian pathways and plazas; and the
operation of a four year degree program. In adopting the Final Environmental Impact
Report and Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City Council found that the
project's impacts, with the exception of the impacts related to noise (short term -
construction) and traffic (cumulative at Palos Verdes Drive East and Palos Verdes Drive
South) for which a statement of overriding considerations was adopted, are not significant
or that the potential impacts could be mitigated to a less than significant impact
The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the proposed amendments to
the conditions of approval to install a screening fence along the eastern and north edge of
the Expanded Parking Lot (also known as the East Parking Lot), as well as increasing the
vegetation in the adjacent buffer area and limiting the operational hours of the parking lot
to further mitigate impacts on adjacent properties. Having reviewed the amendments, the
City Council finds that the proposed revisions will not result in any significant change to the
environment that would affect the findings made by the Council when the project was
approved, and does not modify the scope of the project nor the related uses and
amenities. The proposed revisions will not introduce new significant environmental effects
or substantially increase the severity of the environmental impacts that previously were
identified and analyzed in the FEIR because the revisions to the project are designed to
reduce the impact of the activities at Marymount upon neighboring properties by further
screening certain lights that are mounted on standards in the east parking lot, installing
fencing to screen activities that occur in the parking lot from the view of surrounding
properties and to establish a buffer zone with increased landscaping where no activities
can occur. Furthermore, the amended conditions of approval require the Council review in
approximately three months to assess the effectiveness of mitigating the impacts
associated with the operation of the Expanded Parking Lot on neighboring properties and
to ensure the intent of the revised conditions are being met.
Therefore, the City Council finds that there are no changed circumstances or new
information, which were not known at the time the FEIR was certified, that would require
the preparation of a subsequent EIR or major revisions to the FEIR pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162. In accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA
Guidelines, the City Council has independently reviewed and considered and hereby
adopts this Addendum No. 1 to the FEIR.

within the scope of this condition and the City shall cooperate in the defense of
any such claim or action.
45) The applicant shall procure and maintain in full force and effect during the
operation of the College primary general liability insurance in conjunction with
umbrella coverage, which is applicable to, and provides coverage in an amount
of at least $5 million dollars, which amount shall be increased on each fifth
anniversary of the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for any structure
authorized by this approval to reflect increases in the consumer price index for
the Los Angeles County area. Such insurance shall insure against claims for
injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise from or in connection
with the operation of the athletic field at the College as authorized by the
conditional use permit as amended by this approval. Such insurance shall name
the City and the members of its City Council, boards, committees, commissions,
officers, employees, servants, attorneys, volunteers and agents serving as its
independent contractors in the role of City officials, as additional insureds. Said
insurance, shall be issued by an insurer that is admitted to do business in the
State of California with a Best's rating of at least A-VII or a rating of at least A by
Standard & Poor's, and shall comply with all of the following requirements:
(a) The coverage shall contain no limitations on the scope of protection
afforded to City, its officers, officials, employees, volunteers or agents
serving as independent contractors in the role of city or agency officials
which are not also limitations applicable to the named insured.
(b) For any claims related to the operation of the athletic field, including
balls that may enter the public road right-of-way, applicant's insurance
coverage shall be primary insurance as respects City, members of its
City Council, boards, committees, commissions, officers, employees,
attorneys, volunteers and agents serving as independent contractors in
the role of city or agency officials.
(c) The limits of applicant's insurance shall apply separately to the project
site.
(d) Each insurance policy required by this condition shall be endorsed to
state that coverage shall not be canceled except after 30-days prior
written notice by first class mail has been given to City.

(e) Each insurance policy required by this condition shall be endorsed to
state that coverage shall not be materially modified except after 5-
business days prior written notice by first class mail has been given to
City.
(f) Each insurance policy required by this condition shall expressly waive
the insurer's right of subrogation against City and members of its City
Council, boards and commissions, officers, employees, servants,
attorneys, volunteers, and agents serving as independent contractors
in the role of city or agency officials.
(g) Copies of the endorsements and certificates required by this condition
shall be provided to the City when the insurance is first obtained and
with each renewal of the policy.

53) Prior to the submittal of the Athletic Building plans into Plan Check, plans shall be
submitted to the Director of Community Development to demonstrate that the
Resolution No. 2014-25
Exhibit B
Page 12 of 41
portion of the Athletic Building that was allowed by the Planning Commission at
41-feet in height (elevation 938.75') has been reduced in height by a total of 10-
feet from the height of the original Athletic Building so that the maximum roof
ridgeline does not exceed an elevation of 930'. The Community Development
Director shall determine that the revised Athletic Building is designed in
compliance with the City Council's decision at its March 31, 2010 meeting.
54) The applicant shall submit an Architectural Materials Board for review and
approval by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of building
permits. The Materials Board shall identify, at a minimum, a sample of the
proposed exterior building materials, roof tile materials, and paint colors for all
new, expanded and modified structures. Such materials shall substantially
comply with the materials called out on the project plans approved by the City
Council on March 31, 2010 including, but not limited to, the use of stone veneer
facades, stained wood trellises, cast-stone caps, stone veneer columns, and
baked enamel aluminum windows with tinted glazing to name a few.
55) All new, expanded or modified buildings, including but not limited to the Athletic
Building, the Library, the Student Union, and the Classroom buildings shall be
finished in a muted earth-tone color, as deemed acceptable by the Community
Development Director based on the review of the Materials Board.
56) The roof materials for all new, expanded or modified buildings with pitched roofs,
including but not limited to the Library, Student Union, Athletic Building as revised
per Condition No. 53, and Classrooms, shall be tile, consisting of a muted color,
as deemed acceptable by the Community Development Director based on the
review of the Materials Board. To the extent permitted by the City's Building
Code, the material for all flat roofs shall be a color that is compatible with the
color of the tiles used on the pitched roofs throughout the project, as deemed
acceptable by the Community Development Director.
57) All trash enclosure areas shall be designed with walls six (6) feet in height with
the capability of accommodating recycling bins. The enclosures shall be
consistent with the overall building design theme in color and material, and shall
include self-closing / self-latching gates. The enclosures shall integrate a solid
roof cover to screen the bins from view from all public rights-of-way and
surrounding properties. Trash enclosures shall be prohibited in all setback
areas.
58) Mechanical equipment, vents or ducts shall not be placed on roofs unless
approvals are obtained pursuant to Section 17.48.050 of the RPVMC regarding
building heights and screening from view of all public rights-of-way and
surrounding properties. This condition shall apply to all new and expanded
Resolution No. 2014-25

The sub-leasing of the campus for commercial purposes that are unaffiliated with
the College is prohibited.
140) The College's "Traditional Degree Programs" are the academic programs
(Associates and Bachelors degrees) that offer classes primarily during the day on
weekdays (Monday to Friday). The College's "Non-Traditional Degree
Programs" are the academic programs (Associates, Bachelors, and Masters
degrees) that offer classes, including post-secondary academic classes, primarily
during weekday evenings and on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), so as to
generally avoid overlap with the class schedules of the Traditional Degree
Programs. The Traditional and Non-Traditional Degree Programs are referred
collectively as the "Degree Programs."
141) The College may also provide lifelong learning programs ("Continuing Education
Programs") such as English as a second language (ESL). For the purposes of
this Conditional Use Permit, all students in such Continuing Education Programs
will be included as part of the total full-time and part-time permitted student
enrollment for both the Traditional and Non-Traditional Degree Programs. The
determination as to which enrollment category such students are counted
towards will be based on whether the applicable classes are primarily offered
during the weekdays (in which case the students would be classified as part of
the Traditional Degree Program enrollment) or nights/weekends (in which case
they would be classified as part of the Non-Traditional Degree Program
enrollment).
142) As used in this Conditional Use Permit, a "student" means either a "full-time
student," who is a person enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts or Associates of Arts
Degree Program or a Continuing Education Program on campus for at least 12
hours of course work during the applicable Term (as defined below), or a "part-
time student," who is a person enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts or Associates of Arts
Degree Program or Continuing Education Program on campus for at least 3
hours, but up to 11 hours, of course work during the applicable Term.

on campus during the Fall, Winter, and Spring Terms is 793 students (full-
time and part-time). Of these 793 students, a maximum of 250 students
shall be enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts degree program (BA Program). For
the Summer Term, if other educational or recreational programs are
concurrently offered during weekdays, the maximum total permitted
enrollment in Traditional Degree Programs must be proportionally reduced
so that the combined enrollment in all such programs (e.g., Traditional
Degree Programs and Summer Educational Programs) does not exceed a
total of 600 students (full-time and part-time) and participants.
B. The maximum total permitted enrollment in Non-Traditional Degree
Programs on campus during any Term is 150 students.
C. The maximum total permitted enrollment in any combination of Traditional
Degree Programs and Summer Educational Programs offered
concurrently during summer weekdays (June to August) is 600 students
and participants.
