PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: In approving the revision to the project
applications, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. That the two story additions would not exceed the
ridgeline of the existing office complex, and the project would not
create view impairment from the surrounding properties.
B. That the proposed project, as conditioned herein should not
create any significant adverse effects to the adjacent properties
or the permitted use thereof. In accordance with the State
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City
has determined that no potentially significant environmental
effects should occur as a result of the additions to the existing
administrative office complex (Building "CII).
Section 2: 'Pursuant to Section 17.56.060 of the City's
Development Code, the Planning Commission, in granting Conditional
Use Permit No. 92 - Revision "Ell, finds as follows:
A. That the proposed additions are specifically permitted in
the Institutional Zoning district, as defined in Section 17.28.020
of the City's Development Code.
B. That given the adjacent land uses described in the
previous Program EIR and the project's specific location and
design, as conditioned through Conditional Use Permit No. 92 -
Revision "E'", the 42 -acre site is adequate in size and
configuration to accommodate the proposed project revision, and
that the project, complies, or is conditioned to be consistent
with, the development standards contained in Development Code
Section 17.28.030.
C. That both Crestmont Lane (a two way road connection) and
Palos Verdes Drive South (a fully improved street) are designed to
carry the type and quantity of traffic that exists on the site and
no new employees would result from the proposed additions to the
main administrative office complex (Building "C"), as conditioned
herein by reference.
D. That the proposed project, as conditioned herein by
reference, would not create any significant adverse effects to the
adjacent properties or the permitted use thereof. Staff has
proposed a Negative Declaration and the City has determined that no
potentially significant environmental impacts should occur as a
result of the proposed additions to the Salvation Army's main
administrative office complex (Building "CII).
Section 3: For the foregoing reasons and based on
information and findings included in the Staff Report, and evidence
presented at the public hearings, the Planning commission of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Conditional Use Permit
No. 92 - Revision "Ell, in conjunction with Environmental Assessment
No. 664 and Grading No. 1733, subject to the conditions of approval
