WHEREAS, on August 18, 2016, pursuant to the City's Municipal Code, a
public notice was published in the Peninsula News and mailed to property owners within
a 500-foot radius of the project site and to interested parties including list-serve

adopted Conditions of Approval as Revision "5" to Conditional Use Permit No. 215 et.
al.; and,
WHEREAS, on September 6, 2016, the City Council held a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the revised project and conditions of approval;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The proposed amendments to the conditions of approval will not
substantially change the approved project, which allows the construction of a resort
hotel with 400 rooms within the main hotel structure and freestanding bungalows and 50
privately-owned, multiple-keyed casita units for a maximum aggregate of 150 additional
accommodations, 32 privately-owned resort villas, a 68,000 square-foot
conference/banquet facility, a spa and fitness center, 3 to 4 restaurants with an
aggregate total of 22,500 square feet, and various public amenities, including public
trails, a public park, 825 parking spaces for the Project, including 100 parking spaces for
the general public. Instead, the proposed revision will enhance food and beverage
services for the hotel guests at the main pool with the construction of a new 12-foot tall,
765-square-foot kitchen building.
Section 2. The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the
applicant's request in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") and determined that the proposed revisions to the project conditions of
approval will require an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR"),
which was certified by the City Council on May 7, 2002, under Resolution No. 2002-38
(which determined that the project's impacts, with the exception of the impacts related
to Noise and Air Quality for which a statement of overriding considerations was
adopted, are not significant or that the potential impacts could be mitigated to a less
than significant impact). The City Council finds that the proposed amendments to the
conditions of approval will not alter or diminish the spirit and intent of the original project
approved by the City Council in 2002, because the project design and amenities,
including the public amenities, will not be changed but will be enhanced by providing
added amenities to the hotel guests. Furthermore, the proposed amendments will not
result in a deviation from the findings made by the Council when the project was
approved, and does not modify the scope of the project or the related uses and
amenities. As such, the City Council finds that the amendments to the conditions of
approval will not introduce new significant environmental effects or substantially
increase the severity of the environmental impacts that previously were identified and
analyzed in the FEIR. Furthermore, the City Council also finds that there are no
changed circumstances or new information, which was not known at the time when the
FEIR was certified that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR or major
revisions to the FEIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. In accordance with
Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City Council hereby certifies that
Addendum No. 19 to the FEIR (the "Addendum"), which is attached hereto as Exhibit
"A" and incorporated herein by this reference, was completed in compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and State and local guidelines
with respect thereto and approves Addendum No. 19.
Section 3. Pursuant to Section 17.60.050 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal
Code (the "Municipal Code"), and based upon the evidence presented in the record,
including the staff report, oral and written testimony, the FEIR and the attached
Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed improvements and
amendments to the conditions of approval to construct a 12-foot-tall, 765-square-foot
main pool kitchen building will not change the findings made for the approved project,
adopted under Resolution No. 2002-71, with respect to CUP No. 215, which are
Resolution No. 2016-41
Page 2 of 4
incorporated herein by this reference. Additionally, the findings for the CUP can be
made for the proposed improvements.
Section 4. Pursuant to Section 17.76.040, and based upon the evidence
presented in the record, including staff report, oral and written testimony, and the FEIR,
and the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed
improvements and amendments to construct a 12-foot-tall, 765-square-foot main pool
kitchen building will not change or alter the findings made for the approved project,
adopted under Resolution No. 2002-71, with respect to GRP No. 2229, which are
incorporated herein by this reference. Additionally, the findings for the Grading Permit
can be made for the proposed improvements including conducting a total of 45 cubic
yards of grading (cut) to accommodate the kitchen building will be supported by an 8-
foot tall retaining wall that will be integrated into the building. This is because the
proposed earth movement is well within the maximum grading limits studied as part of
the certified EIR (837,166 cubic yards of earth movement consisting of 418,583 cubic
yards of cut and 418,583 cubic yards of fill) and is well within the limits set by Condition
No. 130. The proposed grading is not considered excessive for the improvements of a
resort and will not result in visual impacts from any of the public trails, roadways, or
neighboring properties. Thus, the proposed grading will not cause any new
environmental impacts or any environmental impacts that were not already studied in
the EIR.
Section 5. Pursuant to Section 17.72.090, and based upon the evidence
presented in the record, including staff reports, oral and written testimony, the- FEIR and
the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed improvements
and amendments to the conditions of approval will not change or alter the findings made
for the approved project, adopted under Resolution No. 2002-71, with respect to CDP
No. 166, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 6. Pursuant to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act
(commencing with Section 66410 of the California Government Code), and based upon
the evidence presented in the record, including staff reports, oral and written testimony,
the FEIR and the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed
improvements and amendments to the conditions of approval will not change or alter
the findings made for the approved project, adopted under Resolution No. 2002-71, with
respect to TPM No. 26073, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 7. Pursuant to Section 17.64.050, and based upon the evidence
presented in the record, including staff reports, oral and written testimony, the FEIR and
the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed improvements
and amendments to the conditions of approval will not change or alter the findings made
for the original approved project with respect to the Variance as adopted under
Resolution No. 2002-71.
Section 8. - Based upon the evidence presented in the record, the City Council
finds that the proposed revision will not "lessen or avoid the intended effect" of the
approved project with respect to providing coastal access and visitor serving use. The
Resolution No. 2016-41
Page 3 of 4
City Council further finds that the proposed amendments to the conditions of approval
will not have the potential for adverse impacts to coastal resources or public access in
that the revisions are in compliance with the Coastal Commission Conditions of
Approval.
Section 9. Based upon the evidence presented in the record, the findings
adopted under Resolution No. 2002-71, which are incorporated herein by reference, the
FEIR and the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby approves Revision "5" to
Conditional Use Permit No. 215, Grading Permit No. 2229, Coastal Development Permit
No. 166, Variance No. 489, and Tentative Parcel Map No. 26073, subject to the
conditions set forth in Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference.
Section 10. The time within which the judicial review of the decision reflected in
this Resolution, if available, must be sought as governed by Section 1094.6 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation.

EXHIBIT "A"
ADDENDUM NO. 19
TO FINAL ENVIRONMENT IMPACT REPORT
/ ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 725
SEPTEMBER 6, 2016
On May 7, 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2002-34, thereby
adopting the Final Environment Impact Report for Environmental Assessment No.
725 to allow the construction of a 400-room hotel and bungalows with banquet and
retail facilities, 50-casitas (3-keys for 150 total units), 32 villas, and a driving range

adopting Addendum No. 17; and on February 16, 2016, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2016-07 adopting Addendum No. 18 to the Final Environmental
Impact Report. In adopting the Final Environmental Impact Report and Statement
of Overriding Considerations, the City Council found that the Project's cumulative
impacts, with the exception of the impacts related to Noise and Air Quality for
which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted, are not significant or
that potential impacts could be mitigated to a less than significant level.
The CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 state that when an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) has been certified for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared
for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial
evidence in light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement
Resolution No. 2016-41
Exhibit A
Page 1 of 3
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the
time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration
was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one
or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents
decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably
different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially
reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the
project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative.
The CEQA Guidelines section 15164 allows a lead agency to prepare an
Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary
but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a
subsequent EIR have occurred.
On the basis of the analysis provided below, the City Council has determined that
the proposed changes are minor and an Addendum is appropriate.
The City Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed amendments to the
conditions of approval to construct a new 12-foot-tall, 765-square-foot kitchen
building at the main pool area with 45 cubic yards of grading (cut). The proposed
project will not increase the number of guests or visitors to the site nor will cause
environmental impacts that were not already studied in the Certified EIR. This is
because the kitchen building is intended to enhance food and beverage services to
guests using the main pool. In order to construct the kitchen building without
impacting views from other on-site buildings, the structure will be limited to 12 feet
in height and will be notched into an existing transitional slope between the existing
Resolution No. 2016-41
Exhibit A
Page 2 of 3
pool deck area and the public trail. This will require the applicant to grade the area
by approximately 45 cubic yards of cut (which will be repurposed on-site) and will
be supported by an 8-foot-tall retaining wall that will be integrated into the proposed
structure. The proposed earth movement is well within the maximum grading limits
studied as part of the certified EIR (837,166 cubic yards of earth movement
consisting of 418,583 cubic yards of cut and 418,583 cubic yards of fill) and is well
within the limits set by Condition No. 130. The proposed grading is not considered
excessive for the improvements of a resort and will not result in visual impacts from
any of the public trails, roadways, or neighboring properties. Thus, the proposed
grading will not cause any new environmental impacts or any environmental
impacts that were not already studied in the EIR.
Thus, it is the City Council's the opinion that the proposed main pool kitchen
building will not result in adverse impacts including parking, visual, noise or air
quality impacts. Having reviewed the applicant's request, the City Council finds
that the revisions to the respective conditions will not alter or diminish the spirit and
intent of the original project approved by the City Council in 2002 or the project
revisions approved by the City Council in recent years. The proposed revisions will
comply with the requirements set forth by the Coastal Commission and will not
result in any significant change that would affect the findings made by the Council
when the project was approved, and does not modify the scope of the project or
the related uses and amenities. The proposed revisions will not introduce new
significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the
environmental impacts that previously were identified and analyzed in the FEIR.
Therefore, the City Council finds that there are no changed circumstances or new
information, which were not known at the time the FEIR was certified, that would
require the preparation of a subsequent EIR or major revisions to the FEIR
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. In accordance with Section 15164 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, the City Council has independently reviewed and
considered and hereby adopts this Addendum No. 19 to the FEIR.

The Ornamental Landscape Plan shall comply with the water conservation
concepts, the View Preservation Ordinance, the planting requirements, the
irrigation system design criteria, and all other requirements of the RPVMC.
Notwithstanding the proceeding, a tree or other foliage that is located adjacent
to a structure that already impairs a view from a surrounding property may grow
to the ridgeline of that structure so that the foliage screens the structure but does
not increase the degree of view impairment. Except as specified in these
conditions and except for trees adjacent to the Villas which will not be higher than
the adjacent street curb of Palos Verdes Drive South or the maximum ridgeline of
the adjacent Villa, whichever is lower, all other trees and foliage located within
the City's Coastal Specific Plan's View Corridors (Catalina and Point Fermin)
shall not exceed the permitted height limits of the Coastal Specific Plan's View
Corridors or if not located in a View Corridor shall not exceed the height limit of
the street curb at the Fishing Access Parking Lot, defined at 158-feet above sea
level. In no event shall any foliage allowed pursuant to this condition impair
visibility through a protected view corridor, as identified in the project EIR. The
Plan shall identify the plant and seed sources and the required lead time that will
be needed to implement the plan. A colorful plant palette shall be utilized in the
design of the hotel landscaping where feasible, provided that impacts to native
and protected vegetation will not occur. No invasive plant species shall be
included in the plant palette, except for the following species which exist on-site
or within the immediate area: Eucalyptus, Nerium Oleander, Olea Europia (olive
tree), Phoenix (all species), Shinus Molle (California Pepper Tree), Shinus
Terebinthifolius (Florida Pepper Tree).
The Habitat Enhancement Area, which serves as a plant buffer for the El
Segundo Blue Butterfly and the Bluff Habitat shall consist of suitable, locally
native plants. In addition, the 50-foot wide planting area inland of the Habitat
Enhancement Area, as specified in the adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program
(5.3-2c) attached as Exhibit "C" of Resolution No. 2002-34, shall also be planted
with suitable, locally native plants and grasses. When available, it is
recommended that seeds and plants for both areas come from local sources.
The applicant shall submit for review and approval by the Director of Planning,
Building and Code Enforcement and a qualified biologist, at the expense of the
applicant, a Habitat Enhancement Management Plan that shall ensure regular
maintenance to prevent propagation of invasive plants into the Habitat
Enhancement or buffer areas and that any invasive plants that do propagate into
the Habitat Enhancement Area will be immediately removed. Said Management
Plan shall be submitted for review and approval at the same time as the
Landscape Plan.
In accordance to the California Coastal Commission's adopted Conditions of
Approval, the applicant shall install plants adjacent to Palos Verdes Drive South,

manner that, at maturity, visually screens the buildings from Palos Verdes Drive
South, as well as visually separates the dense appearance of the Villas. Said
landscaping shall also be permitted to grow beyond the maximum height of the
Villas' roof ridgeline, only when such landscaping is able to screen the roof
materials and not block a view corridor, as determined by the Director of
Planning, Building and Code Enforcement at the time the Landscape Plan is
reviewed.
In order to maintain views from Palos Verdes Drive South, the trimming of the
coastal sage scrub located within the Coastal Commission's designated Zone C
Roadside Habitat Enhancement Area, as described in Condition No. 78 and 100,
shall be conducted during the non-breeding bird season (September 1 through .
February 14). In the event trimming of the coastal sage scrub is required to
maintain views during the bird breeding season, a qualified biologist shall inspect
the vegetation to determine that no nesting birds exist in that area immediately
prior to and during the trimming.
