WHEREAS, on October 23, 1995, Zuckerman Building Company and Palos Verdes Land Holdings
Company submitted an application package to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, requesting approval for
certain revisions to the approved Ocean Trails project, including, but not limited to, inclusion of the 8 5 acre
vacant Loma del Mar School Site into the golf course, relocation of the golf course clubhouse to
accommodate a reconfiguration of the public parking facilities into two separate lots located on either side
of the structure; realignment of Paseo del Mar to accommodate the re -configuration of the clubhouse and
parking facilities; and, amendments to the public trails to be consistent with the California Coastal
Commission conditions of approval.
WHEREAS, on December 12, 1995, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the
Development Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider draft Addendum No 4 to
Environmental Impact Report No 36 and the proposed Revisions to the Ocean Trails protect, at which time
all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS
Section 1. In considering the proposed revisions to the project, the Planning Commission has
determined that Addendum No 4 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 is appropriate, since the
subsequent changes in the project will not result in any new significant environmental impacts which were
not previously identified and analyzed in Environmental Impact Report No 36, that the subsequent changes
will not result in an increase in any previously identified significant environmental impacts, that the
Addendum does not contain new information of substantial importance to the project and that only minor
technical changes or additions are necessary to make Environmental Impact Report adequate under the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
This is so, since the revised project will result in no significant change in the impacts identified in the
previous EIR The modification to the configuration of the golf course clubhouse, parking facilities, Paseo
del Mar roadway and public trails in the area north of Half Way Point Park would not adversely impact
circulation in the area, nor public access to the coastline and recreational amenities, since vehicular access
would still be available through the driveway and parking lot at the golf course clubhouse and the public
trails would still connect along the south side of the clubhouse The relocation of the golf course clubhouse
80 feet to the west of its currently approved location would increase the physical and visual connection
between Paseo del Mar and Half Way Point Park and would not adversely impact the views over the site
from Palos Verdes Drive South and the surrounding single family residential areas. In addition, the
elimination of the bicycle use on the trail along the slide scarp to the north of Golf Hole No. 18 would not
significantly effect the availability of bicycle trails through the site, since bicycle access would still be
available within the Bluff Top Public Access Corridor, elimination of the bicycle use on this trail would
reduce the conflict between multiple users of this trail (golf cart and sewer maintenance) and would make
the City's trail requirements consistent with those of the California Coastal Commission
Therefore, based on the review of Draft Addendum No 4 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36
prepared in association with the proposed revisions to the Ocean Trails project, as conditioned, the
Planning Commission finds that the project still mitigates, or reduces to the extent feasible, significant
adverse effects to adjacent properties or the permitted uses thereof. In approving the revised project, the
Planning Commission finds that social, recreational, and other benefits of the project continue to outweigh
any unavoidable adverse environmental impacts that may occur and that due to overriding benefits and
considerations, any unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of the project are acceptable. Accordingly,
the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council incorporate, by reference, the Final EIR No
36, the Supplemental EIR, Addendum Nos 1, 2 and 3, and Resolution No 92-115 (which includes, without
limitation, the detailed statement of overriding considerations set forth therein)
Section 2; All mitigation measures required in Environmental Impact Report No. 36, the
Supplement to EIR No 36, and Addendum Nos 1, 2 and 3 to EIR No. 36, are hereby incorporated by
reference into conditions of approval for the approval of the revised vesting tentative tract map
P C Resolution No 95-48

Section 3 That the creation of thirty-nine (39) single-family residential lots, golf course with related
improvements and public open space, as conditioned, is consistent with the City's General Plan and
Coastal Specific Plan
The General Plan land use map designates almost the entire project site as Residential, with a
maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre, and designates the coastal bluffs as hazard areas. The
General Plan provides for additional commercial recreational uses within the City as appropriate to a
particular location, including golf, equestrian, tennis and other recreational activities, and designates the
City's entire coastal area as a specific plan district.
The Coastal Specific Plan land use map shows the following general uses for the project site (a)
Residential (with a maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre) for the vast majority of the property, (b)
Hazard areas along the bluffs and in the westerly natural drainage course, (c) a floating Retail Commercial
area, and (d) Recreational parking The text of the Coastal Specific Plan expressly permits visitor -serving
uses, such as a golf course, subject to satisfaction of the requirements for granting a conditional use permit
under the Development Code
With 39 residential units on approximately 39.6 acres, the density is slightly below one dwelling unit
per acre and, therefore, consistent with the General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan
Section 4 That the creation of thirty-nine (39) single-family residential lots, common open space, a
public golf course, and public open space, as conditioned, is consistent with the City's Development Code
for projects within the RS -1 zoning district under a Residential Planned Development. In addition, a
minimum of 30 percent of the site will be maintained within the residential development as common open
space, exclusive of the golf course The 39 -Lot Revised Site Plan does not contemplate construction of any
structures on land currently zoned as Open Space Hazard
The majority of the subject property is zoned RS -1 (Residential Planned Development) with the
bluff face and the southwesterly natural drainage course (commonly known as Forrestal Canyon) being
zoned as Open Space Hazard (OH) In compliance with the requirements of the OH zoning district, the
applicant will not construct any permanent habitable structures on land that is zoned Open Space Hazard.
The RS -1 (RPD) zone requires a conditional use permit for any type of development (§ 17 06 050)
and expressly permits single-family residential development and any other uses permitted under Chapter
17 02, including conditionally -permitted uses under Chapter 17.56, such as golf courses (§ 17 06.030)
Accordingly, under Chapter 17 06 and Section 17.56 020 of the Development Code, residential
development and a golf course and related facilities are permissible uses, subject to a conditional use
permit. The necessary findings with respect to the conditional use permits required in connection with the
Residential Planned Development and golf course are contained in Resolutions Nos. 94-74 and 94-75,
respectively
Furthermore, the residential portion of the project provides in excess of thirty percent of the
Residential Planned Development as common open space, which open space is sited in a manner that is
accessible for viewing and access by the general public from public roads and walkways and preserves
views to the coast.
Section 5 That the provision of a continuous bluff road as provided in the Coastal Specific Plan
and depicted on Figure 24 of the Coastal Specific Plan is infeasible due to geologic and geotechnical
constraints affecting the property and because such a road would require substantial alteration to the
natural canyon area on the western portion of the property commonly known as "Forrestal Canyon" The
City geologist and geotechnical engineer have each concluded that the land upon which such a road would
be built has not demonstrated sufficient stability to warrant the construction of a permanent road in that
location As an alternative, the project features the realignment of Paseo Del Mar as a bluff road cul-de-
sac taking access from Palos Verdes Drive South and the vacation of the central portion of Paseo del Mar
There will be no dwelling units located seaward of this bluff road
P C Resolution No 95-48
Page 3 of 7
The combination of the vacation of the central portion of Paseo del Mar, the realignment of Paseo
Del Mar as a bluff road cul-de-sac taking access from Palos Verdes Drive South, and a public access
easement over the clubhouse driveway and parking facilities to Forrestal Canyon, as provided in the revised
applications and conditions of approval, is consistent with Coastal Specific Plan, Subregion 7, Policy No 16
which states that "Paseo del Mar shall be improved to provide access to residential development and
consideration shall be given to relocating Paseo del Mar southward or exchanging it for another access
route closer to the bluff edge "
The intent of Coastal Specific Plan, Subregion 7, Policy 19 is satisfied by the provision of an 8 9
acre Bluff Top Public Access Corridor with a minimum width of one hundred (100) feet located along the
bluff top between Half Way Point Park and Shoreline Park This Bluff Top Public Access Corridor contains
a public pedestrian trail along the entire length of the corridor and an off-road bicycle trail through the
central portion of the site The Planning Commission finds that the Bluff Top Public Access Corridor is
similar in average width and area to any coastal bluff road which would otherwise be constructed, if
geologically feasible, pursuant to Coastal Specific Plan, Subregion 7, Policy 19
The Planning Commission further finds that there shall be no road seaward of the last row of
dwelling units in the residential area located on the far western portion of the property because the adverse
impacts of a such a road outweigh its potential benefits A road seaward of the last row of dwelling units in
this area should not be connected to the proposed bluff road because such a connection would result in
substantial alteration and damage to Forrestal Canyon and the significant biological resources located
therein
Without such a connection, the Planning Commission finds that such a road is unnecessary to provide
vehicular access to the coast and the coastal bluff, adequate vehicular access having already been
provided by the bluff road cul-de-sac and public access to the clubhouse driveway and parking facilities, as
described above.
Sec ion 6 That the golf course and related uses are consistent with Coastal Specific Plan,
Subregion 7, Policy 7 which states: "Ensure that any proposed commercial activity responds to the needs of
the coastal residents and shall not be of an intensity which would purposefully generate a service area
external of the coastal region " The Planning Commission finds that the intent of the above policy is to limit
traditional commercial development (such as retail and office uses) so as not to create a service area
external to the coastal region and that such policy is not intended to apply to commercial recreational uses,
which are encouraged by the General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan. The Planning Commission's
interpretation of this policy is consistent with other policies in the Coastal Specific Plan and with Resolution
82-24, which adopted Coastal Specific Plan Amendment No 1 and specifically authorized visitor -serving
uses, such as golf, in Subregion 7
Section 7: That the trails plan as shown in the revised "Site Plan for Conditional Use Permit
Amendment Map No 1" (dated November 22, 1995) submitted by the applicant, including the Class I
Pedestrian and Bike Trail segment in the area seaward of the western residential area, is consistent with the
Coastal Specific Plan requirements relating to trails The precise alignment of this particular trail segment
varies between its description in the Coastal Specific Plan, its display on Access Corridors map in the
Coastal Specific Plan (Figure 24) and its location on the Coastal Specific Plan Land Use Map
Because of these slightly different configurations, Planning Commission finds that these
descriptions and maps in the Coastal Specific Plan are intended to provide a generalized location for this
trail segment The Planning Commission has considered these different alignments and found that the
alignment of this segment as shown in the "Site Plan for Conditional Use Permit Amendment Map No. 1"
(dated November 22, 1995) provides comparable public access, minimizes incompatibility with the active
public recreational uses and, when connected to the bluff road cul-de-sac via a bridge over Forrestal
Canyon, provides linkage to the bluff road, bluff top areas and the remainder of the site The Planning
Commission finds that in the absence of a road seaward of the last row of dwelling units in the western
residential area (as described in Section 5 hereof), this trail segment should be located as shown in the
revised "Site Pian for Conditional Use Permit Amendment Map No 1."

Section 8 That the golf course and related uses are consistent with Coastal Specific Plan policy
and Section 17 06 040 C 8 of the Development Code, which require the area seaward of corridor
improvements to be improved and either dedicated or permanently maintained through deed restriction for
public use Section 17 06 040 C 6 of the Development Code permits the preservation of open space by
dedication, deed restriction or other appropriate methods approved by the City In compliance with these
provisions and policies, the East and West Bluff Preserves, Half Way Point Park, Half Way Point Preserve,
the Bluff Top Public Access Corridor, the Bluff Top Wildlife Corridor (located between the West Bluff
Preserve and Half Way Point Park) and the public paths, trails, parking and recreational areas associated
with these public open space areas will be improved by the applicants and offered to the City for dedication
Furthermore, the golf course area will be improved by the applicants and permanently maintained through
deed restriction for public use The Planning Commission specifically finds that the deed restriction on the
golf course land constitutes permanently maintained public open space Neither the Coastal Specific Plan
nor Development Code expressly prohibit active public recreational uses, or require only passive public
uses, for the area seaward of the conceptual bluff road.
Section 9 For purposes of the Subdivision Map Act, the design of the subdivision, golf course, and
the related improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat based on compliance with the City's Development Code, General Plan
and Coastal Specific Plan and consideration of information contained in Draft, Supplemental, and
Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No 36
The Planning Commission acknowledges that there is the difference between the term "significant
impact" under CEQA and the term "substantial environmental damage" under the Subdivision Map Act
Draft EIR No 36, Supplement to EIR No 36, Addendum Nos. 1, 2 and 3 to EIR No 36 are required to base
environmental findings on a "worst case" basis As a result, the Final EIR and Addendum No 1 conclude
that significant impacts to biological resources remain after mitigation because of the loss of raptor foraging
area and because of the temporal loss of Coastal Sage Scrub. Even with the 2.1 replacement of existing
Viable Coastal Sage Scrub and the other mitigation measures contained in the Final and Addendum No 1
to EIR No. 36, the temporal loss of Coastal Sage Scrub, which serves as natural habitat for the California
gnatcatcher, is considered significant due to the uncertainty that this species will be able to re -occupy the
site after replacement of the Coastal Sage Scrub. These environmental findings are primarily the result of
grading for the golf course, which itself has already been minimized through its links -type design. These
specific findings and a corresponding statement of overriding considerations are contained in Resolution
No. 92-115, which is hereby incorporated by reference
With the mitigation measures adopted by the City pursuant to Resolution No 92-115, the project
will not result in substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat under the Subdivision Map Act However, even assuming that the project did result in
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, such
damage or injury would be caused primarily by grading for the golf course. The elimination of the golf
course is not feasible because it would not satisfy an important objective of the project- to provide visitor -
serving public recreational uses, which objective is encouraged by policies in the Coastal Specific Plan. For
this reason, this alternative or mitigation measure has been rejected by the Planning Commission.
Pursuant to Resolution No 92-115, the City has made a finding of infeasibility with respect to elimination of
the golf course
Section 10 That the subject property is physically suitable to accommodate the revised Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 50666, as conditioned, in terms of design and density
Section 11: That the creation of the lots, single family residential dwelling units, golf course, public
open space, and related improvements will not be materially detrimental to property values, nor will it
jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the surrounding areas, since physical
improvements, dedications and maintenance agreements are required
PC Resolution No 95-48

Section 12 The Planning Commission has considered the effect of the revised tract map on the
housing needs of the region as set forth in the City's Housing Element, and balanced these needs against
the public service needs of its residents and against available fiscal and environmental resources, and finds
that the revised tract map helps to achieve those housing needs without unreasonably burdening the public
service needs of existing residents and available fiscal and environmental resources
Section 13. The Planning Commission has considered the requirements of Government Code
Section 65590, which requires new housing developments located in the coastal zone to provide, where
feasible, housing units for persons and families of low or moderate incomes, as defined in Section 50093 of
the Health and Safety Code. The Government Code further requires that where it is not feasible to provide
these housing units in a proposed new housing development, the local government shall require the
developer to provide such housing, if feasible to do so, at another location within the City, either within the
coastal zone or within three miles thereof.
Based on the information, analysis and findings included in Environmental Impact Report No 36,
and the subsequent conditions of approval placed on the project by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and
the California Coastal Commission, the Planning Commission finds that the Ocean Trails protect site has
certain physical and environmental constraints, including geotechincal factors, topographic conditions and
requirements for open space, public parks, a trails network and native habitat areas, which limit the amount
of land available on-site for the construction of affordable housing units
In addition, based on information that was gathered by the City with regard to the average number
of persons within the low to moderate income ranges that would be expected to be employed on the project
site, including employees associated with the golf course and the residential lots, the Planning Commission
finds that the protect will generate a need for affordable housing units.
Therefore, taking into the account the physical constraints, yet recognizing the employment
generated housing needs, the City Council finds that a requirement of 10% (currently 8 units) of affordable
housing (based on the final total number of buildable lots) is a feasible requirement that would satisfy the
intent of Government Code Section 65590
However, the Planning Commission's finding is in no way intended to preclude future residents or
tenants of the project site from providing additional affordable housing opportunities
Section 14- That the division and development of the property will not unreasonably interfere with
the free and complete exercise of the public entity and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or easements within
the tract
Section 15 That the discharge of sewage from this land division into the public sewer system will
not violate the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7
(commencing with Section 13000 of the Water Code)
Section 16: That the design of the residential subdivision, golf course, and associated
improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems
Section 17: That the design of the residential subdivision, golf course, and the type of
improvements associated with them, will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for
access through or use of property within the proposed project Further, public trail easements which are
consistent with the policies of the General Plan and the Coastal Specific Plan are required as a condition of
this approval
Section 18. That the design of the revised vesting tentative tract map provides for future passive or
natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
Section 19 That the revised vesting tentative tract map does not propose to divide land which is
subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.

Section 20: That dedications required by local ordinance are shown on the tentative map and/or
are set forth in the conditions of approval attached hereto in Exhibit "A"
Section 21 That the City considered the effect of approval of the residential subdivision on the
housing needs of the region in which the City is situated and balanced these needs against the public
service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources
Section 22: For the foregoing reasons, and based on information and findings contained in the
public record, including staff reports, minutes, records of proceedings and evidence presented at the public
hearings, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby recommends approval of
the revisions to Vesting Tentative Tract Map No 50666, subject to- 1) the conditions of approval attached in
Exhibit "A', which are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, 2) the approval of
