the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the public comments upon it, and other
evidence before the Commission prior to taking action on the proposed project and finds

Section 2: Case No. ZON2005-00296, a Conditional Use Permit revision for a
new 7-Eleven convenience store, re-establishment of the gasoline station, and the sale of
beer and wine for off-site consumption are consistent with the Rancho Palos Verdes
General Plan and with the underlying Commercial land use designations, which will not be
changed as a result of the approval of the project.
Section 3: There are no sensitive natural habitat areas on the subject site. Thus,
no site disturbance or alteration will result from the approval of Case No. ZON2005-00296,
and therefore, the project will have no individual or cumulative adverse impacts upon
resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the State Fish and Game Code.

Mitigation Monitoring Program
Exhibit A-Page 1 Resolution No. 2006-16
L INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP), is to allow the following project at 31186 Hawthorne Boulevard,
located at the southeast corner of Hawthorne Boulevard and Palos Verdes Drive West, in the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes:
Demolishing the existing Unocal 76 service station buildings and constructing a new 2,754
square foot 7-Eleven convenience store building at a height of 20-feet. The project also
includes upgrading the existing fuel dispensers to continue providing 4 fuel pump islands (8
fueling stations); modifying the existing canopy by incorporating a new fascia and tiled pitched
roof; a new monument sign, and signage on the convenience store building and the canopy
fascia; new landscaping; a new trash enclosure; and 14 on-site parking spaces. Lastly, in
conjunction with the convenience store, the project includes the sale of beer and wine for off-
site consumption.
The MMP responds to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code, which requires a lead or responsible
agency that approves or carries out a project where a Mitigated Negative Declaration has identified significant
environmental effects,to adopt a"reporting or monitoring program for adopted or required changes to mitigate
or avoid significant environmental effects." The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is acting as lead agency for the
project.
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of
the project. Where appropriate, this environmental document recommended mitigation measures to mitigate
or avoid impacts identified. Consistent with Section 21080 (2)(c)of the Public Resources Code, a mitigation
reporting or monitoring program is required to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures under the
jurisdiction of the City are implemented. The City will adopt this MMP when adopting the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.

complies with the rules, regulations, and procedures adopted by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for
implementation of CEQA.
MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
