requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and local guidelines, with respect thereto, and,
WHEREAS, on August 13, 1996, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Development
code, the Planning Commission held a public heanng to consider draft Addendum No. 5 to Environmental
Impact Report No. 36 and the proposed Revision "C" to the Ocean Trails project, 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: In considering the proposed revisions to the project, the Planning Commission has
determined that the preparation of Addendum No 5 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 is appropnate,
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).
P C. Resolution No. 96-24
Page 2 of 7
This is so, since the revised project will result in no significant change in the impacts identified in the
previous EIR The relocation of two single family residential lots in Vesting Tentative Tract Map No 50667 from
the end of Street "A" (Lot Nos 34 and 35 on the previously approved plan) to the end of Street "C" (Lot Nos.
8 and 9 on the revised plan) and the revision to the golf course layout for Hale Nos 3, 4 and 5 does not result
in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since these improvements would be located in areas of
the subject properly that were previously identified as part of the developed and/or graded portion of the project.
The reconfiguration to the boundaries of common open space Lots B, C, G and H does not result in any new
or increased impacts to the environment, since the minimum required lot sizes of these lots will be maintained
and there will be no net decrease in the acreage of protected habitat The conversion of the split-level lots to
single -pad lots in Vesting Tentative Tract Map No 50667 and the proposed changes to the maximum building
heights on some of these lots does not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since the
views of the ocean, Catalina Island and the coastline from Palos Verdes Drive South would not be adversely
impacted
The proposed changes to the public trails in the project would not result in any new or increased
impacts to the environment, since 1) the realignment of the public trail from the La Rotonda parking lot to the
Bluff Top Activity Corridor would increase the safety of the public using the lateral trail connection through the
golf course to the bluff top, 2) the provision to allow shared use of certain segments of the public trail for golf
carts would minimize the amount of pavement in these areas, minimize conflicts caused by crossing paths and
would not diminish public enjoyment of these trails, and and, 3) the combination of parallel pedestrian and
bicycle trails into a single easement would not change the physical configuration of the trails once they have
been constructed. The construction of a paved fire access road on the seaward side of the Ocean Terraces
Condominiums does not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since the paved road would
improve public safety by providing all-weather access to the existing fire hydrants along the south side of the
condominium complex. The amendments to the Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Measures would not
result in any new or increased impacts to the environment, since these changes will not alter the effectiveness
of the Conditions of Approval and/or Mitigation Measures, and will act, instead, to ensure that the protect are
better monitored and the impacts are fully mitigated
Therefore, based on the review of Draft Addendum No 5 to Environmental Impact Report No 36
prepared in association with the proposed Revision "C" 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,
Addenda Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, and Resolution No. 92-115 (which includes, without limitation, the detailed
statement of overriding considerations set forth therein)
Section 2: The mitigation measures contained in the revised Mitigation Monitoring Program attached
as Exhibit "B" to P C Resolution No 96-22 are hereby incorporated by reference into the recommended
Conditions of Approval for the revisions to Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50667.
Section 3: That the creation of thirty-six (36) 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
P C. Resolution No. 96-24
Page 3 of 7
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, the natural drainage course and in certain portions north of Paseo del Mar with
extreme slopes (greater than 35% in steepness), (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 36 residential units on approximately 37 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-six (36) 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 36 -Lot Revised Site Plan does not contemplate construction of any structures on land
with slopes in excess of 35%, or on land currently zoned Open Space Hazard.
The majority of the subject property is zoned RS -1 (Residential Planned Development) with the bluff
face and the natural drainage course and certain areas north of Paseo del Mar 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 (§1706030) 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 P C Resolutions Nos 96-25 and 96-26, 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 combination of the vacation of the central portion of Paseo del Mar and the
realignment of Paseo Del Mar as a long bluff road cul-de-sac taking access off of Palos Verdes Drive South
as provided in related applications 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 further 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. 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
Section 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. 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 -senting uses, such as golf, in Subregion 7
PC Resolution No. 96-24
Page 4 of 7
Sectio : That the trails plan as shown in the revised "Site Plan for Conditional Use Permit
Amendment Map No. 2" (dated June 19, 1996) submitted by the applicants is consistent with the Coastal
Specific Plan requirements relating to trails
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, or the
related improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably 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 Addenda of
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, and Addendum Nos 1, 2, 3 and 4 to EIR No 36 are required to base
environmental findings on "worst case" basis As a result, the Final EIR and Addendum No. 1 EIR 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 21 replacement of existing viable
Coastal Sage Scrub and the other mitigation measures contained in the Final EIR 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, and
recommended to be revised pursuant to P.0 Resolution No 96-22, 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. 50667, as conditioned, in terms of design and density
P C Resolution No 96-24
Page 5 of 7
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
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 help 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 project 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 project will generate a need for affordable housing units.
Therefore, taking into the account the physical constraints, yet recognizing the employment generated
housing needs, the Planning Commission 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.
Secfion 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 protect 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.
PC Resolution No 96-24
Page 6 of 7
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. 50667 to the City Council, 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
revisions to Conditional Use Permit Nos. 162 and 163, and Grading Permit No. 1541, and, 3) approval of
Addendum No. 5 to Environmental Impact Report No 36 by the City Council
