A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING A 6-
MONTH REVIEW OF THE PT.VICENTE ANIMAL HOSPITAL
SHARED PARKING PLAN WITH ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN
CHURCH AND REDUCING THE REQUIRED PARKING
SPACES FROM 61 TO 60 (CASE NOS. ZON2.008-00505 &
ZON2009-00158 RESPECTIVELY).
WHEREAS, on March 29, 1985, Instrument No. 85-349588 was recorded with the
Los Angeles County Recorder's Office granting a non-exclusive easement over the
property located at 31270 Palos Verdes Drive West permitting the parking of a maximum of
fifty (50) vehicles on the then-vacant lot, but now the Pt. Vicente Animal Hospital property,
for the benefit of use by St. Paul's Lutheran Church members; and,
WHEREAS, in September 1988, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution
No. 88-52, approving a Revision to Conditional Use Permit No. 118 and Grading Permit
No. 1005 for a multi-purpose/administrative building located at 31290 Palos Verdes Drive
West (St. Paul's Lutheran Church). At that time, St. Paul's Lutheran Church was required
to maintain a minimum of 29 on-site parking spaces plus 50 additional parking spaces on
the adjacent property located at 31270 Palos Verdes Drive; and,
WHEREAS, on September 22, 2009, the Planning Commission adopted P.C.
Resolution Nos. 2009-38 and 2009-39, certifying a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
conditionally approving a Conditional Use Permit, Grading Permit, Variance and Sign
Program (Case No. ZON2008-00505) to allow the development of a new veterinary
hospital (Pt. Vicente Animal Hospital) located at 31270 Palos Verdes Drive West. In
addition to the approval of a new building, the Planning Commission also approved a
Revision to Conditional Use Permit No. 118 (Case No. ZON2009-00158) to modify the
required off-street parking requirements associated with St. Paul's Lutheran Church. The
approval resultedin a decrease in the total number of shared parking spaces from 79
spaces to 61 parking spaces between the church and new veterinary hospital; and,
WHEREAS, when the Pt. Vicente Animal Hospital Project and shared parking plan
revision were approved via P.C. Resolution Nos. 2009-38 and 2009-39, Condition No. 72
[Mitigation Measure TRA-5] required a 6-month review of the efficacy of the shared parking
plan associated with the abovementioned properties. Condition No. 72 stated, "Within six
(6) months of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the veterinary hospital, the
Planning Commission shall review the efficacy of the shared parking plan with the church.
The Planning Commission may add, delete or modify conditions of approval based upon
the outcome of this 6-month review. [Mitigation Measure TRA-5]'; and,
WHEREAS, In December 2011, the Pt.Vicente Animal Hospital obtained their final
certificate of occupancy and the clock on the required 6-month review began. The 6-month
review period ended in June 2012; and,
WHEREAS, St. Paul's Lutheran Church requested that the City consider reducing
the overall required parking count between the church and animal hospital from sixty-one
(61) spaces to sixty (60) spaces, and,
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Development Code, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing
on July 24, 2012, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard
and present evidence; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND,
DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS;
Section 1: The 6-month review, as required by Condition No. 72 and Mitigation
Measure TRA-5, was conducted between December 2011 and June 2012 to consider the
efficacy of the on-site parking provided between the Pt. Vicente Animal Hospital and St.
Paul's Lutheran Church. The 6-month review allows the Planning Commission the ability to
add, delete or modify conditions of approval related to parking. As a result of a restriping
project at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, the applicant has requested that the total required
parking be reduced from sixty-one (61) spaces to sixty (60) spaces.
Section 2: Modifying the required shared parking between the Pt. Vicente Animal
Hospital and St, Paul's Lutheran Church from sixty-one (61) shared parking spaces to sixty
(60) shared parking spaces will not cause a significant impact to the operation or parking
needs for the two properties. The on-site parking for the two properties were monitored for
six (6) months and determined to be adequate for the parking demand needs for both
facilities during weekday hours. A parking count conducted in February 2009 identified a
parking demand of sixty (60) needed spaces, which the church and animal hospital have
provided. Furthermore, representatives of St. Paul's Lutheran Church confirmed that the
on-site parking has been adequate, and reported that there are an average of 10
open/unused parking spaces between the church parking lot and the animal hospital lot on
Sundays during the 9:00 a.m. morning service.
Section 3 Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Public Resources Code Sections 21 00et seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines,
California Code Regulations, Title. 14, Section 15000 etseq., the City's Local CEQA, and
Government Code Section 65962.5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), the
Planning Commission determined that there is no substantial evidence that the reduction in
on-site shared parking from sixty-One (61) spaces to sixty (60) spaces would result in a
significant adverse effect on the environment. Accordingly, Addendum No. 1 to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case Nos. ZON2008-505 and ZON2009-00158 for the
Pt. Vicente Animal Hospital and St. Paul's Lutheran Church, was prepared and approved;
and,
P.C. Resolution No. 2012-15,
Page 2 of 14
Section 4: Despite the reduction of one on-site parking space at the St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, the resulting on-site shared parking between the Pt. Vicente Animal
Hospital and St. Paul's Lutheran Church continues to be consistent with the required
findings of the originally approved Conditional Use Permit, as described under Section 6 of
Planning Commission Resolution No, 2009-39.
Section 5: The Planning Commission hereby modifies Condition Nos, 70 and 71
to reflect the amended, required parking between the two properties are as follows..
70. The church may hold Sunday services between 8:30 AM and 3:00 PM,
during which time all sixty one ( sixty (60) off-street parking spaces

weekday and Saturday activities at the church that are conducted during
the regularbusiness hourof the veterinary hospital shall be limited in size
and attendance so as not to require the use of more than thirty-eight(38)

veterinary hospital parking lot Overflow parking on weekdays and

spaces and the church shall provide twenty nin twenty-eight (28)
off-street parking spaces, fora combined total of s4ty one sixty(60)

Section 6: Any interested person aggrieved by this decision or by any portion of
this decision may appeal to the City Council. Pursuant to Sections 17.02.040(C)(1)(g) of
the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in
writing, setting forth the grounds of the appeal and any specific actions requested by the
appellant, and accompanied by the appropriate appeal fee, no later than fifteen (15) days
following July 24, 2012, the date of the Planning Commission's final action.
Section 7: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Minutes and other records of proceedings, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approve a 6-month review of the
shared parking plan for the Pt. Vicente Animal Hospital and St. Paul's Lutheran Church
