MAP NO. 7559
WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map No. 7559 has been filed, which would
allow for the division of a 1.3 acre lot into two (2) parcels, located at the
western terminus of Tarragon Road; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed this matter at a
public meeting on October 25, 1977, at which time all interested parties were
given an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the division of the 1.3 acre lot into two (2)
parcels each with a minimum area of at least 20,000 square feet is consistent
with the General Plan and Development Code.
Section 2: That the proposed use of the lots is for single family
dwellings and associated uses, which is compatible with the objectives, policies,
and general land use specified in the General Plan.
Section 3: That the site is physically suitable to accommodate
Tentative Parcel Map No. 7559 in terms of design and density, and will not result
in substantial environmental damage, based on compliance with the City's
Development Code and General Plan, and consideration of information contained in
the project's negative declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 317.
Section 4: That the creation of two (2) single family lots and
potential improvements will not be materially detrimental to property values,
jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health,
safety or general welfare of persons or properties in the surrounding area, nor
will it adversely affect the peace, health, safety or general welfare of the
area since conditions of approval require site improvements and dedications.
Section 5: That the division and development of the property will
not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public
entity and public utility rights of way and/or easements within the tract.
Section 6: That the Planning Commission does hereby declare that
a negative declaration was granted in compliance with City and State Environmental

adverse environmental impact because potential impacts are mitigated as
discussed in the initial study.

No. 7559, subject to the attached conditions marked Exhibit "A", which are
