WHEREAS, on September 23, 1996, the applicant, Marriott Senior Living Services, with
the consent of the property owner (Host Marriott, Inc.) submitted an application for Conditional
Use Permit No 195, Grading Permit No. 1903, Tentative Parcel Map No 24655, and Sign Permit
No. 842, to allow the construction of a three story, 122 unit, 73,606 square foot assisted living
facility, including, 68,660 cubic yards of cut and 68,660 cubic yards of fill, the subdivision of the
existing lot into two lots, landscaping and various site improvements, and a new sign on an
existing vacant lot located at the northwest corner of Crestridge Road and Crenshaw Boulevard;
and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California
Code of Regulation, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq , the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and
Government Code Section 65962.5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), a Final
Supplement to Final Environmental Impact Report No 27 (FEIR No 27) has been submitted and
certified as found in P.C. Resolution No. 98-16, and,
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Development Code, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on March 24,
1998, an on-site public meeting on April 5, 1998, and a public hearing on May 12, 1998 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: The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the General Plan
because the General Plan Land Use Designation for the existing 33 97 acre site is Institutional
and Open Space Hazard, and the proposed subdivision of this single lot will, at this time, create
one Institutional zoned lot and one lot consisting of both Institutional and Open Space Hazard
Zones
Additionally, the proposed assisted living facility is consistent with the uses permitted within the
Institutional zoning district and is therefore consistent with the Zoning Code and the Institutional
land use designation of the General Plan The proposed project is also consistent with the intent
of the site as described on page 197 of the General Plan, which indicates that, "..the
Crestridge/Indian Peak area is centrally located on the Peninsula Institutional uses exist in the
area, and the Intent is to provide for complex of future such uses, rather than allowing them to
scatter throughout the community, where they are sometimes incompatible with other uses"
Section 2: The design or improvement of the proposed two lot subdivision is consistent
with the General Plan because the proposed subdivision is of a vacant lot and therefore the
proposed subdivision will not affect any structures on these lots, and the design or improvement
of either vacant lot (after subdivision has occurred) will be required to meet the requirements of
the Institutional land use district
Section 3: The site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of
development because of the existing large lot size and large building pad
Section 4: The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat because as analyzed in the Final Supplement to FEIR No 27, this project will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat because of the general lack of valuable biological resources on the heavily disturbed site,
and the remaining 29 40 acre parcel will be analyzed in more detail during the environmental
review of that specific project
Section 5: The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not cause
serious public health problems because the proposed project is for a subdivision of an existing
Institutional lot into two lots According to the geological reports prepared for this project, the
proposed project will not be impacted by the ancient landslide adjacent to Indian Peak Drive
Additionally, no other potentially significant health impacts have been identified
Section 6: The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the
proposed subdivision because there are no such existing easements located on the subject
property
Section 7: The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use
and for all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other features required by this
title or by conditions imposed under this section to integrate said use with those on adjacent land
and within the neighborhood because although the Institutional district does not require a specific
percentage of site open space, the percentage of open space, after subtracting the footprint,
driveways and parking areas will still be 70% Additionally, the project exceeds all required
setbacks, the proposed project's front yard setback is greater than other structure's setbacks
located on Crestridge Road such as Congregation Ner Tamid, Cantebury, and the Church of
Latter Day Saints, therefore the project will appear compatible with other neighboring structures
as viewed from the street right of way, and the project includes various aesthetic improvements
to the site that will also be compatible with neighboring structures
Section 8: The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient to
cant' the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use because although the proposed
project will result in an increase in the amount of traffic on Crestr►dge Road, as the existing site
is currently vacant, the traffic analysis completed for the FEIR No 27 indicated that the 1989
approved project would not result in a significant affect on the operational characteristics of any
P C. Resolution No 98-17
Page 2 of 15
of the nearby intersections, but that traffic will increase during construction primarily because of
haul trucks exporting earth from the site The 1989 approved project anticipated a total of
250,000 cubic yards of export The proposed project has been reduced significantly in scope
from the previously proposed project both in land use and grading Therefore, the traffic analysis
completed for the FEIR No 27 adequately assessed the potential impacts of the proposed
project, and since the streets and highways were deemed sufficient to carry the type and quantity
of traffic generated by the 1989 project, it can be concluded that it is sufficient to carry the
proposed project
Section 9: In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no
significant adverse effect on adjacent property or the permitted use thereof because in regards
to views, the Institutional district allows the development of structures, without regard to view
impacts, up to 16' from the highest point of existing grade to be covered by structure as long as
the structure does not exceed 20' as measured from the point where the foundation or slab meets
lowest finished grade The highest point of existing grade, where the 16' height requirement is
measured from is at approximately elevation 1227 5'- meaning that a 16' high structure could
be constructed up to 1243.5' by right The proposed project is to be constructed at 35' above the
proposed pad elevation of 1206 5'- meaning that the maximum height of the proposed structure
would be at elevation 12415'- lower than a structure that could be constructed at 16720' by right
In regards to aesthetics, the architectural style and materials of the proposed project are
compatible with other structures located on Crestridge Road and the surrounding area
In regards to parking, the proposed project includes 66 parking spaces, which is consistent with
the City's development code that requires 1 parking space for every 4 beds in a "Convalescent
home, nursing home, homes for the aged, rest homes and sanitanums" (the proposed project
includes 128 beds), or for this project 32 parking spaces (128 beds _ 4 beds/parking space = 32
parking spaces)
Section 10: The project has been designed and conditioned through mitigation measures
defined in the Final Supplement to FEIR No 27 to incorporate requirements so that the proposed
project will not cause an impact to the health, safety and general welfare of the site nor
surrounding area residents For example, the proposed project exceeds all required setbacks,
therefore reducing any impacts to neighboring lots, the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program
(MMP) requires that exterior lighting be low intensity and directed downward; and potential noise
impacts resulting from the construction activities and cooling tower have been mitigated through
the MMP.
Section 11: The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted
primary use of the lot, as defined in Section 17 96 of the Development Code, because given the
existing varying topography of the subject site, in order to construct any type of structure there
would have to be significant amounts of grading activity For example, as noted above, the
previously approved project, although being constructed on the entire 33 97 acre site, was to
include 280,000 cubic yards of cut with 250,000 cubic yards of export The proposed project
grading activity will be balanced entirely on-site {68,660 cubic yards of cut and 68,660 cubic yards
P C Resolution No. 98-17
Page 3 of 15
of fill, which includes 40,000 cubic yards of cut and 40,000 cubic yards of fill for remedial on-site
grading) The grading concept design has created a level pad that will aid in reducing potential
view impacts as the pad has been graded so that the proposed structure will be constructed
entirely below where a 16' high structure could be constructed by right.
Section 12: The grading and/or related construction does not significantly adversely
affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from, neighboring properties, because the
proposed grading concept will lower the building pad so that the ridge of the proposed structure
will be below the height of where a 16' high structure could be constructed by right, and a visual
analysis has been conducted that shows that, although the proposed structure may slightly impair
existing views, the structure is not being constructed above a point where a 16' high structure can
be constructed by right and therefore does not significantly adversely affect the visual
relationships with, nor the views from, neighboring properties
Section 13: The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours,
and finished contours are reasonably natural because finished contours near the front, sides and
rear of the property are similar to and will tie into the existing contours, and although the
proposed grading concept will disturb the existing natural contours in order to create a level
building pad, especially towards the rear of the proposed structure where the existing topography
slopes from the front of the lot up to the top of an existing small hill, the hill is being replaced by
a new 2 1 slope further towards the rear property line, which will tie into the existing contours at
the rear of the property; and the overall proposed flat area of the site will be at an average height
compatible with the existing contours which rise from the front of the lot to back of the lot
Section 14: The grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic
features and appearances by means of land sculpturing so as to blend any man-made or
manufactured slope into the natural topography because although the existing hill located towards
the rear of the property is being removed to create a level building pad, a man made slope is
being created at the rear of the property that will simulate the existing hill Additionally, as shown
on the attached Grading Plan, the existing topography is being sculpted to blend the man-made
slopes at the front, side and rear into the existing natural topography
Section 1S: The grading utilizes street designs and improvements which serve to
minimize grading alternatives and harmonize with the natural contours and character of the
hillside because the project includes manufactured slopes in the front, sides and rear portions of
the subject lot that blend into the natural contours and character of the existing site.
Section 16: The grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of
natural landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation because although the
proposed project grading will cause the removal of existing vegetation in order to create the level
building pad, garden areas, emergency fire access road, and parking areas, a biological analysis
was conducted for the subject site that concluded that the subject site did not contain any
sensitive plant or wildlife habitat Additionally, the MMP includes a mitigation measure requiring
the owner to landscape the periphery of the developed area with a species that provides food for
wildlife to increase utilization of the plantings by wildlife
P C Resolution No 98-17
Page 4 of 15
Section 17: The Grading conforms to all of the standards found within Development
Code Section 17.76 040, except for the following "(c) Except for the excavation of a basement
or cellar, a till or cut shall not exceed a depth of five feet at any point except where the director
or the Planning Commission determines that unusual topography, soil conditions, previous
grading or other circumstances make such grading reasonable and necessary", as the project
will include a cut and fill more than five feet; and "(e.iv) Retaining walls may be allowed up to five
feet in height, adjacent to driveways, only if required for access or slope stabilization There shall
be no more than one upslope or one downslope retaining wall adjacent to driveways", as the
project includes two upslope retaining walls, one of them in excess of five feet However, these
deviations are permitted because, a the rest of the grading criteria (1 through 7) have been met,
and b the approval is consistent with the purposes set forth in subsection A of Development
Code Section 17 76 040, and c departure from the standards in criteria No. 8 will not constitute
a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity;
and d departure from the standards of criteria No 8 will not be detrimental to the public safety
nor to other property
Section 18: The proposed monument sign is consistent with Development Code Section
17.76.050, because: a. not more than one sign is displayed along the street frontage, b the sign
will not exceed twenty square feet in area; c the sign will not exceed eight feet in height 6' high
proposed); and d the sign will be placed more than five feet inside the property line
Section 19: Any interested person aggrieved by this decision or by any portion of this
decision may appeal to the City Council. Pursuant to Section 17 56 070 of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in writing, and with the
appropriate appeal fee, no later than fifteen (15) days following May 26, 1998, the date of the
Planning Commission's final action
Section 20: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Minutes and other records of proceedings, the Planning Commission
of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 195, Grading
Permit No 1903, Tentative Parcel Map No 24655, and Sign Permit No. 842, thereby approving
the construction of a three story, 122 unit, 73,606 square foot assisted living facility, including;
68,660 cubic yards of cut and 68,660 cubic yards of fill, the subdivision of the existing lot into two
lots, landscaping and various site improvements, and a new sign, on an existing vacant lot
located at the northwest corner of Crestridge Road and Crenshaw Boulevard, subject to the
conditions of approval contained in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and made a part -thereof, which
are necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare
