PC RES 1993-002P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 93-2
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES FINDING THAT THE VACATION OF THE ROAD
AND TRAIL EASEMENT IN TRACT NO. 46422 IS IN CONFORMANCE
WITH THE POLICIES OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND RECOMMENDING
THAT THE CITY COUNCIL VACATE SAID ROAD AND TRAIL
EASEMENT.
WHEREAS, on November 1, 1988, the City approved Tentative
Tract Map No. 46422, which subdivided a 2.5 acre site into 7 single
family residential lots; and
WHEREAS, Condition No. 6 of Resolution No. 88-66 reduced the
size of an existing 25 foot wide easement for road, public utility
and bridle trail purposes located along the southern boundary of
the site to 10 feet in width and included a provision to allow the
developer or the homeowners to request full abandonment of the
easement in the future; and
WHEREAS, several property owners in the subdivision have
requested that the City vacate the road and trail easement along
the southern boundary of the tract; and
WHEREAS., on November 17, 1992, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 92-109 declaring intent to vacate the easement along
the southern boundary of the tract; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a hearing on January 12,
1993 to determine whether the proposed easement vacation is in
conformance with the policies of the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the vacation of the easement is consistent
with the policies of the General Plan which require that all new
residential developments be served by adequate infrastructure,
since all utility and road easements necessary to service the
subdivision were obtained at the time the final map was recorded.
Section 2: That the vacation of the easement is consistent
with the policies of the General Plan which require that all new
developments provide public walkway, bikeway and equestrian
systems, were appropriate, since the trail maps in the General Plan
and the Conceptual Trails Plan do not include any public trails
through the subject tract and there is no new evidence to suggest
that a public trail is necessary or appropriate in this area of the
G�tX.
Section 3: For the foregoing reasons and based on the
information and findings included in the Staff Report and records
of the proceedings, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the
vacation of the road and trail easement along the southern boundary
of Tract No. 46422 is in conformance with the policies of the
General Plan and recommends that the City Council vacate said road
and trail easement.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 12th day of January, 1993.
