WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the City's
Development Code, public hearings were held on July 8, September 9, September

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 proposed Residential Planned Development (RPD) is
permitted in single family districts, subject to the issuance of a conditional
use permit.
Section 2: That the 13.15 acre site, located at the southwest corner of
Beachview Drive and Coastsite Drive is adequate in size and configuration to
allow for fifty-two (52) attached single family dwelling units under an RPD
concept and for open space requirements, private outdoor living areas, land-
scaping, recreation facilities, and other features required by the Development
Code or by conditions imposed by this permit.
Section 3: That the proposed RPD is not contrary to the General Plan
and Coastal Specific Plan since said conformance has been insured by site de-
sign and landscaping requirements, which are included as conditions of
approval to this permit and Tentative Tract No. 39673.
Section 4: That the RPD will locate its primary points of vehicular
ingress/egress on Beachview Drive and Seacove Drive which are improved and
designed to carry both the type and quantity of traffic generated.
Section 5: That given the project's location, site design, and conditions
imposed through this permit, the granting of this conditional use permit will
not significantly adversely affect the peace, health, safety, or general welfare
of the area, nor will it be materially detrimental to property values, jeopardize,
endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety, and wel-
fare of persons in the surrounding area.
Section 6: That the Planning Commission does hereby declare that Final
Environmental Impact Report No. 17 has been completed in compliance with State
and local environmental guidelines and that the Commission has reviewed and
considered its contents in reaching its decision. The Planning Commission
further finds that the approval of this conditional use permit will not result
in a significant adverse environmental impact, since mitigation measures are
required.

City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby grants Conditional Use Permit No. 58 for the
use described herein, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit "A" which
are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare in the
