A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ADOPTING A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND MAKING CERTAIN
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS IN ASSOCIATION WITH
PLANNING CASE NO. ZON2009-00441 (CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 200 REVISION `A', GRADING PERMIT, COASTAL
PERMIT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT) TO ALLOW
PARKING LOT AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS AT LOWER POINT
VICENTE CONSISTING OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
RECONFIGURED AND EXPANDED PARKING LOT (101
PARKING SPACES INCLUDING LOADING AND ACCESSIBLE
SPACES), NEW LANDSCAPING, NEW HARDSCAPE
(WALKWAYS AND PLAZAS), NEW DECOMPOSED GRANITE
TRAILS, AND NEW DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT
31501 PALOS VERDES DRIVE WEST.
WHEREAS, on September 8, 1998, the Planning Commission adopted P.C.
Resolution No. 98-29 making certain environmental findings in connection with the
adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopted P.C. Resolution No. 98-30,
conditionally approving Conditional Use Permit No. 200, Grading Permit No. 1993, and
Coastal Permit No. 143 to allow site improvements at Lower Point Vicente consisting of,
among other things, a 7,400 square foot addition to the PVIC building, 139 new parking
spaces (for a total of 207 parking spaces), reconfigured driveways, approximately
11,000 cubic yards of grading (cut and fill), new and expanded decomposed granite
trails, new landscaping and other outdoor park amenities. Due to budget limitations,
portions of the parking lot expansion and some site improvements were not constructed;
and,
WHEREAS, on September 2, 2008, the City Council adopted the Rancho Palos
Verdes Coast Vision Plan which is an informational planning document for the City's
coastal areas (including five key sites not included in the City's Palos Verdes Nature
Preserve), with public access, interpretive materials, recreational amenities, and other
amenities to improve the coastal open space experience for Palos Verdes residents and
visitors. One of the five key sites identified in the Vision Plan is Lower Point Vicente.
According to the goals identified in the Council adopted Vision Plan, improvements to
the Lower Point Vicente site should integrate, in terms of design and amenities, existing
and proposed facilities. These facilities include the PVIC building and its proposed
outdoor education components (Phase 111, relating to cultural, social, physical and
natural history and environments), expanded parking, public parkland and trails, and
other potential, complementary educational public uses; and,
WHEREAS, Pursuant to the Council adopted Vision Plan, the City, in partnership
with the Annenberg Foundation, is now proposing to complete the construction of the
improvements at Lower Point Vicente originally approved by the Planning Commission
in 1998. These improvements consist of the removal of the existing parking lot to
accommodate a reconfigured and expanded parking lot totaling 101 spaces (including 6
accessible spaces and 2 loading spaces); new landscaping; new hardscape (walkways
and plazas); new decomposed granite trails; and drainage improvements (see attached
project plans) located at Lower Point Vicente at 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et. seq., the City's
Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65952.5(e) (Hazardous Waste
and Substances Statement), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes prepared an Initial Study
and determined that, there is no substantial evidence that the approval of Planning
Case No. ZON2009-00441 (Conditional Use Permit No. 200 Revision `A', Grading
Permit, and Coastal Development Permit) would result in a significant adverse effect on
the environment that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. Accordingly, a
Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and notice of that fact was given in
the manner required by law; and,
WHEREAS, the Initial Study was released for public circulation and review from
December 24, 2009 through February 3, 2010; and,
WHEREAS, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Planning Entitlements for
this project have been reviewed independently from any other projects being proposed
at Lower Point Vicente, and that these other projects will be processed and evaluated
on their own merits. The site improvements approved under this resolution will remain
valid regardless of the outcome of any other projects at this site; and,
WHEREAS, after issuing notice pursuant to the requirements of the City's
Development Code, City's CEQA Guidelines, and the State CEQA Guidelines, the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes held a public hearing on
January 26, 2010 and February 9, 2010, at which time all interested parties were given
an opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
NOW, THERFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES, AND RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project would not
result in any significant adverse environmental impacts in addition to or beyond those
already associated with the existing Open Space Recreational use of the site. in
making this finding, the Planning Commission considered the project's mitigated
measures that address the issues of Biological Resources, Cultural Resources,
Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Noise.
Section 2: The subject property is currently zoned for Open Space
Recreational purposes, and is also designated on the City's General Plan maps for
P.C. Resolution No. 2010 -02
Page 2 of 5
Recreational-Passive purposes. Since the site will continue to be used for these
purposes, the proposed addition and site improvements will not significantly impact the
existing Land Use.
Section 3: Since the project site is relatively flat and the proposed project will
only affect existing minor slopes, the proposed project, with the mitigation measures,
will not result in significant adverse affects to topography, destruction, covering, or
modification of unique geologic or physical features, impacts to archeological or
paleontological resources, or expose persons to seismic ground failure, landslides, or
other known hazards, affect any plant or animal species or result in the removal of any
sensitive plant life or animal life, or create a wasteful or inefficient use of the energy
already being consumed on the site. Further the project will not result in negative
aesthetic effects to the surrounding neighborhood or impact a scenic vista or highway.
Section 4: The project involves improvements to the existing parking lot that
are intended to enhance the existing amenities available to the public and improve both
vehicular and pedestrian access to the project site. The project does not propose
improvements or uses that would generate additional traffic not previously studied as
part of the environmental review and approval for the 1998 PVIC expansion project. As
such, the project will not generate new traffic, but rather enhances and expands the
amenities, such as parking, driveway aisles, and vehicular drop-off, for the traffic
generated by the existing PVIC building and outdoor amenities.
Section 5: Project construction may cause some short-term noise impacts.
However, to ensure that there will be no significant impacts, mitigation measures have
been added that will require the developer to take certain actions to minimize
construction noise impacts.
Section 6: The project will result in the additional discharge of run-off water as
a result of the increased and expanded parking areas. However, to ensure that there
will be no significant impacts, a mitigation measure requiring inclusion of a new storm
drain system that includes a bioswale and oil/water separator to filter the discharge prior
to its discharge into the Pacific Ocean.
Section 7: The project will not alter the location, distribution, density, or growth
rate of the human population in the area above what is forecasted in adopted City plans
and policies, nor will the project affect existing housing, or create a demand for
additional housing. The project will not create a significant additional demand for fire or
police protection, maintenance of public facilities (including roads), or other
governmental services. The project will not result in the need for new systems, or
substantial alterations to utilities, including power or natural gas, communication
systems, water, sewer or septic tanks, or solid waste disposal. Further, the project will
not result in the demand for new recreational facilities because the project site is a City
park and the project involves enhancements to the existing park grounds for public use.
P.C. Resolution No. 2010 -02
Page 3 of 5
Section 8: The project site was formerly used by the Department of Defense
as rifle range and during construction of the PVIC expansion, lead was detected in
excavated soil and was remediated between August 1999 and December 2002, in
compliance with a Federal approved Lead Removal Action Plan. The lead remediation
work generally consisted of removing any hot spots, removing one-foot of soil from the
area around the PVIC building and replacing it with clean fill. Due to the potential
exposure to lead contamination resulting from the former use of the site as a rifle range
and according to a covenant to restrict the use of the property required by the
Department of Toxic Substance and Control (DTSC) for the PVIC expansion project, the
City prepared an updated Lead Contamination Work Plan. The Work Plan provides a
protocol for the potential exposure to lead in the Area of Concern. The Work Plan was
submitted to the DTSC on November 9, 2009 and is required to be approved prior to
commencing work.
Section 9: For reasons discussed in the Initial Study, which is incorporated
herein by reference, the project would not have any potential to achieve short-term, to
the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals, nor would the project have impacts
which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable.
Section 10: In addition, the mitigation measures set forth in the Mitigation
Monitoring Program, Exhibit "A", attached hereto, are incorporated into the project.
These measures will reduce those potential significant impacts identified in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration to an insignificant level.
Section 11: Any interested person aggrieved of the decision or by any portion of
this decision may appeal to the City Council. Pursuant to Section 17.60.060 of the
Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in
writing and with the appropriate appeal fee, no later than fifteen (15) days following
February 9, 2010, the date of the Planning Commission's final action.
Section 12: For the foregoing reasons and based on its independent review and
evaluation of the information and findings contained in the Initial Study, Staff Reports,
minutes, and records of the proceedings, the Planning Commission has determined that
the project as conditioned and mitigated will not result in a significant adverse impact on
the environment. Therefore, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated
Negative Declaration making certain environmental findings in connection with Planning
Case No. ZON2009-00441 (Conditional Use Permit No. 200 Revision `A', Grading
Permit, and Coastal Development Permit) to allow specific site and parking lot
improvements at Lower Point Vicente located at 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
CEQA requires that a reporting or monitoring program be adopted for the conditions of project approval that are necessary to mitigate or avoid
significant effects on the environment (Public Resources Code 21081.6). The mitigation monitoring and reporting program is designed to
ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project implementation. For each mitigation measure recommended in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, specifications are made herein that identify the action required and the monitoring that must occur. In addition,
a responsible agency is identified for verifying compliance with individual conditions of approval contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP).
To implement this MMRP, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes will designate a Project Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Coordinator
("Coordinator"). The coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that the mitigation measures incorporated into the project are complied with
during project implementation. The coordinator will also distribute copies of the MMRP to those responsible agencies identified in the MMRP,
which have partial or full responsibility for implementing certain measures. Failure of a responsible agency to implement a mitigation measure
will not in any way prevent the lead agency from implementing the proposed project.
The following table will be used as the coordinator's checklist to determine compliance with required mitigation measures.
