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 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) P.C. Resolution No 96-25 Page 2 of 5 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 Hole 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 property 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 resin 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 project are better monitored and the impacts are fully mitigated Therefore, based on the review of Draft Addendum No. 3 to Environmental Impact Report No. 36 prepared in association with the proposed revisions to the Ocean Traits 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 hereby incorporates into this P.C. Resolution, by reference, the Final EIR No 36, the Supplemental EIR, Addenda Nos. 12, 3 and 4, and Resolution No 92-115 (which includes, without limitation, the detailed statement of overriding considerations set forth therein) Section 2: Pursuant to Sections 17 06 030 and 17.56.060 of the Development Code, the Planning Commission, in approving the revisions to Conditional Use Permit No 162 to implement the Residential Planned Development, finds as follows A. That the proposed uses are consistent with the General Plan and its objectives The General Plan land use map designates almost the entre project site as Residential, with a maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre, and shows 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. 96-25 Page 3 of 5 With 75 residential units on approximately 77 2 acres, the density is below one dwelling unit per acre and, therefore, consistent with the General Plan Further, that the project complies with the criteria set forth in the General Plan for the Natural, Socio/Cultural and Urban Overlay Control Districts on the site. As conditioned, the project preserves natural drainage courses and significant geologic, biologic and hydrologic features in compliance with the Natural Overlay Control District, protects areas that have significant historical, archeological or cultural importance in compliance with the Socio/Cultural District and preserves, protects and enhances public views and vistas in compliance with the Urban Overlay Control District B That the proposed residential use is specifically permitted and the proposed residential density is consistent with the Residential Single Family, One Dwelling Unit Per Acre (RS -1) zoning designation and the requirements of a Residential Planned Development (RPD) special district, as shown on the City's Official Zoning Map The project provides a minimum of thirty percent of the Residential Planned Development as common open space, which open space is sited in a manner that is accessible to viewing by the general public from public roads and walkways and preserves views to the coast C That given the adjacent land uses and the project's location and design, as modified herein, and conditions imposed through this permit, the 261.4 acre site is adequate in size and configuration to accommodate the proposed uses including a Residential Planned Development, golf course and public open space, and that the Residential Planned Development complies, or is conditioned to be consistent with, the Development Standards contained in Development Code Section 17.06.040. D That given the adjacent land uses and the project's location and design, as modified herein, and the conditions imposed by Conditional Use Permit No. 163, as revised and attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the site is adequate in lot size and configuration to accommodate the golf course, clubhouse and related facilities. E. That the site is served by Palos Verdes Drive South which is an improved street designed to carry the type and quantify of traffic that would be generated by the proposed project. F That, given the site location, project design, and conditions imposed through this permit and attached hereto as Exhibit "A", including setbacks, heights, lighting, landscaping, fencing and other conditions, the proposed use 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 welfare of persons in the surrounding area G That the proposed project, as conditioned, mitigates or reduces significant adverse effects to adjacent properties or the permitted uses thereof The Planning Commission finds that the social, recreational, and other benefits of the project outweigh any unavoidable adverse environmental impacts that may occur. The project implements the RS-1/RPD designation of the site as shown in the Official Zoning Map, General Plan, and Coastal Specific Plan, while preserving a minimum of thirty (30) percent of each tract as common open space, exclusive of the golf course uses, with public parking, trails, and vista points that will provide public recreational opportunities and preserve public vistas and habitat areas. Section 3 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 Conditional Use Permit No 162 PC Resolution No 96-25 Page 4 of 5 Section 4 For the forgoing 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 approves revisions to Conditional Use Permit No 162, 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 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No 50666 and 50667 by the City Council, and, 3) approval of draft Addendum No 5 to Environmental Impact Report No 36 by the City Council PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 13th day of August 1996 AYES Commissioners Alberio, Cartwright, Ng, Whiteneck, Vice Chairman Vannorsdall and Chairman Clark NOES None ABSTENTIONS None ABSENT Commissioner Franklin Carolynn Pdru Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement, and Secretary to the Planning Commission M'\USERS\CAROLYNN\WPWIN60\OCEANTR\REVC\OTCUP62.
