Quasi -Judicial Decision This item is a quasi-judicial decision in which the City Council is being asked to affirm whether specific findings of fact can be made in order to support approval of a development application. The specific findings of fact are listed and discussed in the "Discussion" portion of the Staff Report. BACKGROUND On October 14, 2008, the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and a Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP), and conditionally approved the St. John Fisher Master Plan. On October 29, 2008, the Planning Commission's decision was appealed to the City Council by some adjacent neighbors raising issues related to Neighborhood Compatibility, impacts due to the size of the sanctuary, inadequate parking, noise impacts due to the use of a gymnasium, ringing of the proposed electronic bells, the Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Maser Plan — Phase Two Extension lighting of the sanctuary tower and steeple, concerns with removal of certain mature trees and the desire for additional setbacks around the sanctuary. On February 17, 2009, after conducting five (5) public hearings, including a special on-site public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-09 (attached), adopting the MND/MMP, and adopting Resolution No. 2009-10, thereby conditionally approving Conditional Use Permit No. 96 — Revision "D", Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit and Sign Permit to establish a Master Plan for the St. John Fisher Church and School property. Aside from the operational conditions of the Master Plan, the approval included planning entitlements for the construction of 32,426 square feet of new building area, the demolition of 10,329 square feet of existing building area, a total of 30,688 cubic yards of associated grading and a new monument sign for the property. At the time of approval, the construction -related Master Plan improvements were divided into two separate phases as outlined in Condition No. 45(a) and (b), Phase One and Phase Two respectively. While the Applicant completed all portions of the project outlined in Phase One on May 14, 2014, the Applicant was unable to submit their plans into Building and Safety Plan Check for the portions of Phase Two prior to the expiration of their construction -related planning entitlements, which expired on August 24, 2014. On July 23, 2014, prior to the August 24, 2014 expiration of the construction -related Planning Entitlements for Phase Two, the Applicant submitted a request (attached) to modify the St. John Fisher Master Plan, in order for the planning entitlements for Phase Two be extended to eight (8) years to allow additional time to obtain funding for the construction of Phase Two. On July 29, 2014, the application requesting an extension of their Phase Two planning entitlements was deemed incomplete for processing, pending the review and approval of an updated Traffic Analysis by the City's Public Works Department. On April 27, 2015, the City's Public Works Staff (Melissa Countryman) presented the Applicant's updated Traffic Analysis to the City's Traffic Safety Committee, along with Public Works Staff's positon that the Traffic Analysis be approved. At that meeting, the City's Traffic Safety Committee affirmed Public Works Staff's recommendation to approve the updated Traffic Analysis. Subsequently, on June 1, 2015, Planning Staff received confirmation from the City's Public Works Staff that the review of the updated Traffic Analysis was completed and satisfactory. On June 29, 2015, the application was deemed complete for processing, and at the same time, a public notice was sent to all property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the subject property and was published in the Peninsula News. At this time, Staff has not received any public comments as a result of the public notice. 64 111 111 =1 ki The St. John Fisher property is located at 5448 Crest Road, on the southeast corner of the intersection at Crest Road and Crenshaw Boulevard. The property is 399,804 square feet (9.2 acres) in area and zoned Institutional. The property is currently developed with a new E Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Maser Plan — Phase Two Extension sanctuary, an elementary school (K-8), administrative/parish offices, a recreational hall (Barrett Hall), rectory (priest's residence), and parish activity center/gymnasium (converted from the previous sanctuary). The campus is sited 15 — 20 feet above the adjacent streets (Crest Road and Crenshaw Boulevard). The main parking lot is located along the south property line and provides 331 parking spaces for everyday use. Additional seasonal/peak parking is located within the classroom courtyard and provides an additional 23 parking spaces for larger events when school is not in session. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant requests that the City Council extend the planning entitlements of Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan for an additional eight (8) years, with a proposed expiration date of August 24, 2022. Phase Two includes the construction of a new administration building, remodel of the existing administration building into meeting rooms, construction of a new preschool, library, art room, and remaining site work associated with Phase Two construction. DISCUSSION In considering the Applicant's request to extend the construction -related activity of Phase Two by eight (8) years, to August 24, 2022, the City Council must be able to continue to make all of the required findings of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The specific CUP findings required to be made by the City Council are listed below, followed by Staff's assessment of the applicant's request. 1. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use and for all of the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required by this title [Title 17 "Zoning] or by conditions imposed under this section [Section 17.60.050] to adjust said use to those on abutting land and within the neighborhood. 2. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient to carry the type and quality of traffic generated by the subject use. 3. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no significant adverse effect on adjacent property or the permitted use thereof. 4. The proposed use is not contrary to the General Plan. 5. If the site of the proposed use is within any of the overlay control districts established by Chapter 17.40 (Overlay Control Districts) of this title [Title 17 "Zoning"], the proposed use complies with all applicable requirements of that chapter. 3 Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Maser Plan - Phase Two Extension 6. Conditions regarding any of the requirements listed in this paragraph, which the Planning Commission finds to be necessary to protect the health, safety and general welfare, have been imposed [including but not limited to]: setbacks and buffers; fences or walls; lighting; vehicular ingress and egress; noise, vibration, odors and similar emissions; landscaping; maintenance of structures, grounds or signs; service roads or alleys; and such other conditions as will make possible development of the City in an orderly and efficient manner and in conformity with the intent and purposes set for in this title [Title 17 "Zoning"]. Staff's Assessment of the Applicant's Time Extension Request With respect to the CUP Findings listed above, Staff is of the opinion that the Applicant's request to extend the planning entitlements by eight (8) years continues to be consistent with the required Finding Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. As the Applicant is not proposing to alter any of the proposed construction or development plans of Phase Two, which was previously approved by the City Council on February 1, 2009, the previous analysis of the project in the City's record remains the same. A review of the entire project analysis of Finding Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, which were considered as part of the February 1, 2009 City Council approval, can be found on the City's website, or in the attached Resolution 2009- 10. With respect to Finding No. 2, given that the Applicant's original Traffic Study was prepared over seven years ago, and one element of the Phase Two project includes the addition of a new preschool and new trips to and from the project site, which might not be initiated until 2022, the City requested that the Applicant provide an updated Traffic Study (attached) to ensure that there would be no new significant impacts resulting from buildout of Phase Two, given today's traffic conditions. The methodology of the updated Traffic Study was kept consistent to that used in the original Traffic Study so that the findings of the updated Traffic Study could reasonably be compared to the original Traffic Study. More specifically, the updated Traffic Study compared the existing traffic conditions (now that Phase One is completed) to those estimated traffic impacts related to the planned Phase Two improvements, most notably the new preschool. The analysis included collecting updated traffic count data during peak travel times on a weekday and a Sunday at the same intersection and roadway segments as the original study, and forecasting ambient growth of traffic for the year 2022. According to the updated Traffic Study, the study intersection (Crest Road and Crenshaw Boulevard) and nearby roadway segments (Crenshaw Boulevard, north of Crest Road and Crest Road, and west of Crenshaw Boulevard) are operating at acceptable levels of service during peak hours for both weekday and Sunday conditions. Additionally, the traffic study states that under "existing with 2022 ambient growth and project" conditions, the proposed improvements for Phase Two are not expected to significantly impact the study locations beyond the threshold limits required by the City for review. The City's Public Works Staff M Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Maser Plan — Phase Two Extension has noted that the increase in trip generation is negligible and would not require traffic mitigation. Given the conclusions of the updated Traffic Study, which found that no new significant traffic -related impacts would result from the completion of Phase Two, and the extension of Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan to August 24, 2022, Staff recommends that the City Council amend Condition No. 45(b) as follows (new language is indicated in bold/underline and old language is indicated in ): 47. The proposed St. John Fisher Master Plan may be broken up into two main phases as described below. If within one year of the final effective date of the Notice of Decision, the applicant has not submitted an application for a building permit for the approved project or has not commenced the approved project as described in Phase One below, approval of the project shall expire and be of no further effect unless, prior to expiration, a written request for extension is filed with the Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement and approved by the Director. All elements of the approved Master Plan that are not submitted as described in Phase One and Phase Two below, shall require additional future review and approval through the CUP process and additional CEQA review. Phase One and Phase Two are described as follows: a. Phase One: Phase One includes the construction of the new sanctuary, remodel of the existing sanctuary into a gymnasium/parish activity center, construction of a new parking lot, demolition of the existing rectory and youth building on the north and east sides of the property, remodel/conversion of existing convent into rectory and site work that will not be impacted by future phase construction. The Planning Entitlements for all construction described under "Phase One" shall remain in full force and effect for a maximum of one (1) year from the final effective date of the Notice of Decision for the St. John Fisher Master Plan unless construction plans have been submitted to Building and Safety for plan check. b. Phase Two: Phase Two includes the construction of the new administration building, remodel the existing administration building into meeting rooms, construction of a new preschool, library, and art room and remaining site work associated with phase two construction. The Planning Entitlements for all construction described under "Phase Two" shall remain in full force and effect for a Fnaximunl-4af five (5) an additional eight (8) (until August 24, 2022) years from the final effective date of the Notise of Desisiee of the Tolling Agreement between the City and St. John Fisher (August 24, 2009) for the St. John Fisher Master Plan unless construction plans for the final phase of construction have been submitted to Building and Safety for Plan Check, by August 24, 2022, or an additional extension application has been submitted to the Cityy that date. 6i Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Maser Plan — Phase Two Extension ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Related St. John Fisher Master Plan Applications As noted in the Background section of this report, in addition to establishing the St. John Fisher Master Plan through Conditional Use Permit — Revision "D," the City Council also approved a Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit and Sign Permit to accommodate the various aspects of the project development through the requirements of the Development Code. The proposed revision request to extend the planning entitlements for Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan an additional eight (8) years will not change the findings made for the approved Master Plan, adopted under Resolution No. 2009-10, with respect to the Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit or Sign Permit. Environmental Assessment On February 17, 2009, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) in conjunction with establishing the St. John Fisher Master Plan (Planning Case No. ZON2007-00493). The MND/MMP and Master Plan stipulate the mitigation measures and conditions of approval, which the City Council found to reduce all impacts of the Master Plan to a less than significant level. As noted in the analysis of the CUP Findings, Staff believes that the proposed Revision to Condition No. 45(b) of the St. John Fisher Master Plan, along with the updated Traffic Analysis, are within the scope of the project originally analyzed in the MND for the entire Master Plan. Therefore, Staff has prepared Addendum No. 1 to the St. John Fisher Master Plan MND/MMP to address the compliance of the proposed Revision to extend the entitlements of Phase Two for eight (8) years with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Addendum No. 1 is attached to the Resolution presented for the City Council's approval. Future Reviews As a result of the high quantity of input from the public throughout the public hearing process in 2008/2009, the City Council required a number of "future reviews" of the property as various phases are completed to ensure that all impacts are adequately mitigated through conditions of approval. These future reviews are noted in Condition Nos. 74 - 77 of Exhibit "B" to Resolution No. 2009-10 (attached), and continue to be included in the attached conditions of approval. The first review (Condition No. 74) occurred on February 4, 2014. The second and third review (Condition Nos. 75 and 76) occurred on November 18, 2014. One (1) final review (Condition No. 75 —Year 2 review) is expected to occur in the Fall of 2015. At that time, Staff will report to the City Council any concerns raised that relate to landscape screening of the sanctuary pursuant to Condition No. 47, exterior sanctuary lighting, parking and the carillon bells. This final review will require a public notice and public hearing. FT Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Maser Plan — Phase Two Extension CONCLUSION Based on the discussions above, Staff believes that Revision "E" of the St. John Fisher Master Plan can be approved to allow the planning entitlements of Phase Two to be extended and additional eight (8) years, with an expiration date of August 24, 2022. As such, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2015-_, thereby adopting Addendum No. 1 to the MND/MMP, and adopting Resolution No. 2015-_, thereby conditionally approving Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Master Plan to revise Condition No. 45(b), which stipulates the expiration of a multi -phased project, and allows the planning entitlements to be extended to August 24, 2022. FISCAL IMPACT The Applicant submitted the applicable fees to request a Revision of their planning entitlements. Regardless of the City Council's action on this item, the fees paid by the Applicant for this request cover the fully burdened rate of City Staff for the preparation of this report. No refunds of the fees are being requested by the Applicant. ALTERNATIVES In addition to Staff's recommendation, the following alternative is available for consideration by the Planning Commission: Deny the Project (Revision "E" of the St. John Fisher Master Plan), and direct Staff to return to the next City Council meeting with the appropriate Resolution memorializing a denial. 2. Identify any issues of concern related to the extension of Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan, provide Staff and/or the property owner with direction in modifying the project or conditions of approval related Phase Two of the Master Plan, and continue the public hearing to a date certain for discussion of these issues.

JOHN FISHER MASTER PLAN TO EXTEND THE PLANNING ENTITLEMENTS FOR PHASE TWO OF THE MASTER PLAN AN ADDITIONAL EIGHT (8) YEARS, BY ESTABLISHING A NEW EXPIRATION DATE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE TWO TO AUGUST 24, 2022, LOCATED AT 5448 CREST ROAD (CASE NO. ZON2007-00492). WHEREAS, on February 17, 2009, after conducting five (5) public hearings, including a special on-site public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-09, adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and Resolution No. 2009-10, conditionally approving Conditional Use Permit No. 96 — Revision "D", Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit and Sign Permit to establish a Master Plan for the St. John Fisher Church and School property. Aside from the operational conditions of the Master Plan, the approval included planning entitlements for the construction of 32,426 square feet of new building area, the demolition of 10,329 square feet of existing building area, a total of 30,688 cubic yards of associated grading and a new monument sign for the property. At the time of approval, the construction -related improvements were divided into two separate phases as outlined in Condition No. 45(a) and (b), Phase One and Phase Two respectively. The Applicant completed all portions of the project outlined in Phase One on May 14, 2014, however the Applicant was unable to submit their plans into Building and Safety Plan Check for the portions of Phase Two prior to the expiration of their construction -related planning entitlements, which expired on August 24, 2014; and, WHEREAS, on July 23, 2014, prior to the August 24, 2014 expiration of the construction - related Planning Entitlements for Phase Two, the Applicant submitted a request to modify the St. John Fisher Master Plan conditions of approval to allow the planning entitlements for Phase Two to be extended an additional eight (8) years to allow additional time to obtain funding for the construction of Phase Two; and, WHEREAS, on July 29, 2014, the application requesting an extension of their Phase Two planning entitlements was deemed incomplete for processing, pending the review and approval of an updated Traffic Analysis by the City's Traffic Engineer; and, WHEREAS, on April 27, 2015, an updated Traffic Analysis was presented to the City's Traffic Safety Committee. At that meeting, the City's Traffic Safety Committee approved Staff's recommendation to approve the updated Traffic Analysis for City Council consideration. Subsequently, on June 1, 2015, the Planning Division received confirmation from the City's Traffic Engineer that the review of the updated Traffic Analysis was completed and satisfactory; and, WHEREAS, on June 29, 2015, the application was deemed complete for processing. At the same time, a public notice was sent to all property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the subject property and was published in the Peninsula News. No public comments were received as a result of the public notice. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The proposed revision to extend the planning entitlements of Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan will not substantially change the approved project, which allows the construction of all previously approved development, including a new sanctuary, administration Resolution No. 2015 - Page 1 of 17 9 building, art room, library, a new preschool, ancillary offices and storage area. Furthermore, all elements of the Master Plan continue to comply with the general development standards of the RPVMC. 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 revision to the project conditions of approval to extend the planning entitlements of Phase Two will require an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP), which was previously approved by the City Council on February 17, 2009, under Resolution No. 2009-09. Said Resolution determined that the project's impacts 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 (Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Master Plan) will not alter or diminish the spirit and intent of the original project approved by the City Council in 2009 because the project design and improvements will not be changed but will, instead be permitted to complete construction of Phase Two eight years later than the original deadline. Furthermore, the proposed amendments will not result in a deviation from the findings made by the City Council when the project was approved, and does not modify the scope of the project or the related uses. As such, the City Council finds that the amendments to the conditions of approval will not introduce new significant environmental impacts that previously were identified and analyzed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Furthermore, the City Council also finds that there are no changed circumstances or new information, which was not known at the time when the MND was adopted that would require the preparation of a subsequent MND or initiation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. In accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City Council hereby certifies that Addendum No. 1 to the MND, 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 approved Addendum No. 1. 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 MND/MMP and attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed revision to the project conditions of approval to extend to the planning entitlements for Phase Two an additional eight (8) years, to August 24, 2022, will not change the findings made for the approved Master Plan, adopted under Resolution No. 2009-10, with respect to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) establishing the St. John Fisher Master Plan, which are incorporated herein by this reference. Furthermore, as a result of the Applicant's request to extend the planning entitlements of Phase Two, an updated Traffic Study was prepared that compared the existing traffic conditions to those estimated traffic impacts related to other planned Phase Two improvements. The analysis included collecting traffic count data during peak travel times on a weekday and a Sunday at the same intersection and roadway segments as the original study prepared for the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Three scenarios were evaluated within the updated Traffic Study: 1) existing 2014 traffic conditions, 2) the existing conditions plus ambient growth and project conditions (new preschool), and 3) the existing conditions plus ambient growth plus the project conditions and cumulative projects. The updated Traffic Study was forecasted for the year 2022, and states that under "existing with ambient growth and project" conditions, the proposed new preschool, and other associated development in Phase Two, is not expected to significantly impact the study locations beyond the threshold limits required by the City for review, utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation rate and the Los Angeles County accepted methodologies. The updated Traffic Study notes that the increase in trip generation is negligible and would not require mitigation as a result of the new preschool. Therefore, the proposed revisions to extend the planning entitlements for Phase Two to August 24, 2022 will not result in new significant Resolution No. 2015 - Page 2 of 17 10 environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of any existing impacts, and the findings for CUP can be made. Section 4: Pursuant to Section 17.76.040, and based upon the evidence presented in the record, including the Staff Report, oral and written testimony, and the MND/MMP and the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed revision to the project conditions of approval to extend to the planning entitlements for Phase Two an additional eight (8) years, to August 24, 2022, will not change the findings made for the approved Master Plan, adopted under Resolution No. 2009-10, with respect to the Grading Permit associated with the St. John Fisher Master Plan, which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 5: Pursuant to Section 17.66.050, and based upon the evidence presented in the record, including the Staff Report, oral and written testimony, and the MND/MMP and the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed revision to the project conditions of approval to extend to the planning entitlements for Phase Two an additional eight (8) years, to August 24, 2022, will not change the findings made for the approved Master Plan, adopted under Resolution No. 2009-10, with respect to the Minor Exception Permit associated with the St. John Fisher Master Plan, which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 6: Pursuant to Section 17.76.050, and based upon the evidence presented in the record, including the Staff Report, oral and written testimony, and the MND/MMP and the attached Addendum, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed revision to the project conditions of approval to extend to the planning entitlements for Phase Two an additional eight (8) years, to August 24, 2022, will not change the findings made for the approved Master Plan, adopted under Resolution No. 2009-10, with respect to the Sign Permit associated with the St. John Fisher Master Plan, which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 7: The City Council hereby amends Condition of Approval No. 45(b) to extend the planning entitlements of Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan as shown below (deleted language is indicated in strikethro gh and new language is indicated with bold/underline): 45(b) Phase Two: Phase Two includes the construction of the new administration building, remodel the existing administration building into meeting rooms, construction of a new preschool, library, and art room and remaining site work associated with phase two construction. The Planning Entitlements for all construction described under "Phase Two" shall remain in full force and effect for a-maximurn--of five (5) an additional eight (8) (until August 242022) years from the final effective date of the Notice -of -Decision, of the Tolling Agreement between the City and St. John Fisher (August 24, 2009) for the St. John Fisher Master Plan unless construction plans for the final phase of construction have been submitted to Building and Safety for Plan Check, by August 24, 2022, or an additional extension application has been submitted to the City by that date. Section 8: Based upon the evidence presented in the record, the findings adopted under Resolution No. 2009-10, which are incorporated herein by reference, the MND/MMP and attached Addendum, the City Council hereby approves Revision "E" to the St. John Fisher Master Plan, including a CUP, Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit and Sign Permit, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Resolution No. 2015 - Page 3 of 17 11 Section 9: The time within which judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 21St day of July 2015, Mayor Attest: City Clerk State of California } County of Los Angeles ) ss City or Rancho Palos Verdes ) I, Carla Morreale, the City Clerk of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, do hereby certify that the above Resolution No. 2015-_ was duly and regularly passed and adopted by the said City Council at a regular meeting thereof held on July 21, 2015. City Clerk Resolution No. 2015- 12 Page 4 of 17 Exhibit "A" Addendum No. 1 to the Approved MND/MMP Case No. ZON2007-00492 (St. John Fisher Master Plan — Revision "E", et. all.) On February 17, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-09, thereby adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) to allowforthe St. John Fisher Master Plan, which included the construction of 32,426 square feet of new building area, demolition of 10,329 square feet of existing building area, a total of 30,688 cubic yards of associated grading and a new monument sign. In adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, the City Council found that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in the manner required by law. Based upon its independent judgement and analysis of the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and the record of this matter, the City Council finds that with the imposition of the mitigation measures that were proposed and which will remain in full force and effect, which address the potential significant impacts of the project upon Aesthetics, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water and Noise, and reduce them to an insignificant level, the Project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed amendments to the conditions of approval to extend the planning entitlements for Phase Two of the St. John Fisher Master Plan an additional eight (8) years. Said request would alter Condition of Approval No. 45(b) of the approved Master Plan, thereby establishing a new expiration date of August 24, 2022. Having reviewed the applicant's request, the City Council finds that the revisions to the respective condition that establishes the effective expiration of the planning entitlements will not alter or diminish the spirit and intent of the original project approved by the City Council in 2008. The proposed revisions 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. 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 MND/MMP. Therefore, the City Council finds that there are no changed circumstances or new information, which were not known at the time the MND/MMP was adopted, that would require the preparation of a subsequent MND/MMP or the initiation of an EIR 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. 1 to the MND/MMP. Resolution No. 2015- Page 5 of 17 13 Exhibit "B" Conditions of Approval Case No. ZON2007-00492 (St. John Fisher Master Plan — Revision "E", et. all.) General All mitigation measures contained in the approved Mitigation Monitoring Program contained in C.C.

The parish has completed and constructed Phase One, of the approved master plan but has yet to submit plans into plan check for Phase Two, which would automatically extend our planning entitlement. The approved master plan indicating the location of the Phase Two components is ' attached with the incomplete construction highlighted in green. The location of the subject buildings is generally internal to the project site and has little to no impact on the public view of the campus. St. John Fisher Church is requesting an extension of time equivalent to an additional 10 years to complete the construction of these remaining; project components. The reason for the request is to provide time for fund raising needed to support the construction costs of the remaining project scope. The parish has shown due diligence in constructing and completing Phase One through its efforts to complete the project to date and is committed to continuing to build quality structures that are an asset to the community. To this end, we respectfully request your consideration in providing us ample time to fund the remaining project. Please let us know what additional information may be required in order to process this request. Yours sincerer, �ev ,kslgr.

Introduction This report provides an update to the original project traffic impact analysis report associated with the previously -approved St. John Fisher Church/School expansion (Project). The existing church site is located at 5448 Crest Road within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, California. St. John Fisher Church has completed the first phase of improvements to its facilities, which had been analyzed in a traffic study effort by KOA that culminated in a final deliverable in December of 2007. The proposed Project, for purposes of this report, is the previously -approved phase two improvements to the church property yet to be completed. The only trip -generating use under phase two would be a preschool facility with weekday operations. As part of the review process for the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) extension of the previously approved phase two Project scope, the City has requested an updated traffic study that accomplishes two objectives: Determine area traffic conditions with Project phase one operations, and compare to estimated conditions of 2007 study. Update the Project phase two improvements analysis and summarize the overall project traffic impacts relative to current cumulative impacts. The previously -approved phase two of the church master plan would provide for replacement of educational and site ancillary facilities including the following: Art room • School library Preschool facility Music offices • Remodeling of existing offices into meeting rooms Administrative offices All of these facilities would serve current on-site operations, other than the preschool. The preschool is a previously -approved use and would serve up to 40 children (20 children in a morning program, and 20 children under a separate afternoon program), on weekdays only. The project will be analyzed with a 40 -student program for both peak and daily conditions, as is consistent with the 2007 study. The previously -approved meeting rooms would only serve existing church operations, would be used by existing church members and ministries, and would also not be available to outside groups. The church also does not plan to create new programs due to the pending completion of the meeting rooms. The Project traffic study area, as defined through consultation with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, included one nearby intersection and two roadway segments, matching the study area of the 2007 study. Traffic impacts were based on weekday and Sunday traffic data; with weekday AM and PM peak -hour traffic and Sunday AM peak -hour traffic analyzed at the study intersection, and weekday and Sunday daily traffic analyzed at the two study roadway segments.

Project Study Area The Project study area is defined by the study intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Crest Road (an all -way stop -controlled intersection) and the following two roadway segments: I. Crenshaw Boulevard north of Crest Road 2. Crest Road west of Crenshaw Boulevard Figure I illustrates the location of the Project site and the three study locations.

Figure 2 also shows the location of the current driveways. Analysis Methodology The proposed Project site is located within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. KOA coordinated with city staff to achieve consensus on assumptions such as trip generation, trip distribution, study locations, ambient growth and cumulative projects. The following describes the methodology for this report: Project Trip Generation and Distribution Forecast Project trip generation was based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) publication Trip Generation, 9th Edition rates. The assumptions utilized for Project trip distribution are discussed in the Project Trip Generation section of this report. Level of Service Methodol The study intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Crest Road is a four-way stop controlled intersection. Typically for stop -controlled intersections, the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology is utilized. At this location however, due to the unusual lane configurations (i.e. southbound approach has a shared through/right-turn lane and an exclusive right -turn lane), the HCM methodology restrictions/limitations prevents the analysis to accurately estimate average delay and corresponding level of service. As the City has adopted the same methodology as Los Angeles County, the traffic impact analysis for this location utilizes the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology which is typically used to determine level of service for signalized intersection. To account for the lower capacity/flow-rate at a stop -controlled intersection, the overall capacity of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane (vphpl) has been adjusted to 1,200 vphpl. This adjustment methodology has been recently adopted by the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). Consistent with County guidelines, the resultant volume -to -capacity ratio (V/C) also allows for measurement of traffic impacts associated with the proposed Project. The ICU methodology requires the inputs of approach lanes and number by type (left, thru, right), control (free movement or limited by traffic controls), and considers conflicting movements at the intersection and adds the cumulative total of volume -to -capacity ratios for the conflicting movements (opposing left and thru movements, for example) across all of the intersection approaches. The ICU value then is translated to a level of service (LOS) value, which range from LOS A to LOS F. LOS A indicates excellent operating conditions with little delay to motorists, whereas LOS F represents congested conditions with excessive vehicle delay. LOS E is typically defined as the operating capacity of a roadway. Table I defines the level of service criteria.

ENGINEERING Table I — Level of Service Definitions Significant Traffic Impacts As defined by City of Rancho Palos Verdes traffic study review policies, significant impacts of a proposed project at an intersection must be mitigated to a level of insignificance. In cases where capacity increases are possible, KOA analyzed mitigation measures that would restore operations commensurate with the future pre -Project period or better. The City has adopted County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works significance standards for study intersections, which are based on project -related increases in the volume -to -capacity ratio (V/C). The following increases in peak -hour V/C ratios are considered significant impacts: Level of Service Final V/C [a] Signalized LOS Interpretation Intersection D 0.81 —0.90 Volume to E and F 0.901 or more Capacity Ratio (ICUICMA) Excellent operation. All approaches to the intersection appear A quite open, turning movements are easily made, and nearly all 0.000 - 0.600 drivers find freedom of operation. Very good operation. Many drivers begin to feel somewhat B restricted within platoons of vehicles. This represents stable 0.601 - 0.700 flow. An approach to an intersection may occasionally be fully utilized and traffic queues start to form. C Good operation. Occasionally backups may develop behind 0.701 - 0.800 turning vehicles. Most drivers feel somewhat restricted. D Fair operation. There are no long-standing traffic queues. This 0.801 - 0.900 level is typically associated with design practice for peak periods. E Poor operation. Some long standing vehicular queues develop 0.901 - 1.000 on critical approaches. Forced flow. Represents jammed conditions. Backups from locations downstream or on the cross street may restrict or F prevent movements of vehicles out of the intersection approach Over 1,000 lanes; therefore, volumes carried are not predictable. Potential for stop and go type traffic flow.

In cases where capacity increases are possible, KOA analyzed mitigation measures that would restore operations commensurate with the future pre -Project period or better. The City has adopted County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works significance standards for study intersections, which are based on project -related increases in the volume -to -capacity ratio (V/C). The following increases in peak -hour V/C ratios are considered significant impacts: Level of Service Final V/C [a] Project Related vic increase C 0.71 —0.80 Equal to or greater than 0.040 D 0.81 —0.90 Equal to or greater than 0.020 E and F 0.901 or more Equal to or greater than 0.010 [a] Final WC is the VIC ratio at an intersection, considering impacts from the project, ambient and related project growth, and without proposed traffic impact mitigations. The County of Los Angeles does not have significant impact criteria for unsignalized intersections. For the purpose of identifying incremental and significant Project related traffic impacts at stop -controlled intersections, the ICU methodology was utilized.

Existing 2014 Conditions This section describes the existing conditions within the study area, in terms of roadway facilities and operating conditions within the study area. Existing Roadway System Fieldwork within the Project study area was undertaken to identify traffic control and approach lane configuration at each study intersection. Figure 3 illustrates the existing study intersection approach lane and control configuration. Crenshaw Boulevard, to the north of Crest Road, is a four -lane divided facility. South of Crest Road, Crenshaw Boulevard terminates as a two-lane roadway serving the Project, Del Cerro Park and residential use. Crest Road west of Crenshaw Boulevard is a four -lane east -west roadway which provides connection to Hawthorne Boulevard. East of Crenshaw Boulevard, Crest Road is a two-lane facility. Existing Traffic Volumes KOA compiled new manual intersection turn movement counts that were conducted at the study intersection. KOA also compiled new roadway segment counts for this study. Peak period turning movement counts were collected between the hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on a weekday and between 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on a Sunday. The results of counts were utilized to determine existing weekday AM and PM peak -hour conditions and Sunday AM and midday peak hour conditions. The study roadway segment counts were conducted on the following dates. Due to problems with equipment, data at one of the locations was collected on subsequent days: • Crest Road, west of Crenshaw Blvd. — Thursday, October 9th and Sunday, October 12th of 2014. • Crenshaw Blvd, north of Crest Rd. — Thursday, October 2nd and Sunday, October 5th of 2014. The study intersection counts were conducted on the following days: U Thursday, October 2^d and Sunday, October 5th of 2014.

As shown in Table 2, the study intersection is currently operating at a good level of service (LOS D or better) during peak hours under both weekday and Sunday conditions. The December 2007 traffic study identified LOS values at the study intersection as D for weekday a.m. peak, C for weekday p.m. peak, and A for Sunday morning peak. Traffic volumes in the area have diminished since the 2007 study was completed.

Existing Conditions plus Ambient Growth plus Project In order to measure Project related traffic impacts, it is necessary to forecast future traffic conditions within the study area, both with and without Project -generated traffic. The forecast for this scenario provides a basis against which Project traffic impacts can be measured. Ambient Traffic Growth Forecast of future traffic also includes an ambient growth increase which is attributed to both regional population and employment growth outside of the study area. Based on data contained in the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP), an ambient growth rate of 0.5% was applied to existing 2014 traffic counts to estimate 2022 traffic. Table 5 summarizes the level of service results. The study intersection would continue to operate at the same LOS values identified for the existing conditions analysis. The December 2007 traffic study identified LOS values for this scenario at the study intersection as D for weekday a.m. peak, C for weekday p.m. peak, and A for Sunday morning peak.

The Project is projected to generate approximately 148 weekday daily trips, including 27 during the a.m. peak hour and 27 during the p.m. peak hour. The Project (day care center) would be operating on weekdays only, and it would not be generating new trips on Sundays. Therefore generated trips were not analyzed for the Sunday peak -hour analysis. Project Trip Distribution Trip Distribution is the process of assigning the directions from which traffic will access a project site. Trip distribution is dependent upon the land use characteristics of the project and the general locations of other land uses to which project trips would originate or terminate. Figure 6 illustrates the intersection trip distribution percentages that were utilized for Project traffic volumes. Project Trip Assignment Based on the estimated trip generation and distribution assumptions described above, Project traffic was assigned based on project access and the area roadway network. The Project -only trips are illustrated on Figure 7. Existing -plus Ambient Growth -plus Project Trips The Project trips were added to the volumes calculated for the Existing plus Ambient Growth scenario to estimate traffic conditions with Project traffic. The resulting peak -hour traffic volumes are shown on Figure 8.

The Project will not create any significant impacts at the study intersection on weekdays. As Table 10 shows, the study roadway segments will continue operating at LOS A during the weekday peak periods. The Project will not trigger any significant impacts at the roadway segments. The Project analyzed in the 2007 study did not cause any LOS values changes at these roadway segments. Traffic impacts are identified if the proposed development will result in a significant change in traffic conditions at a study intersection. A significant impact is typically identified if project -related traffic will cause service levels to deteriorate beyond a threshold limit specified by the overseeing agency. Impacts can also be significant if an intersection is already operating below the poorest acceptable level and project traffic will cause a further decline below a certain threshold. Based on the forecast and level of service results, it is concluded that with a baseline including ambient annual growth, the proposed Project is not expected to significantly impact any of the study locations.

Congestion Management Plan Conformance This section demonstrates the ways in which this traffic study was prepared to be in conformance with the procedures mandated by the County of Los Angeles Congestion Management Program. The Congestion Management Program (CMP) was created statewide because of Proposition I I I and was implemented locally by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA). The CMP for Los Angeles County requires that the traffic impact of individual development projects of potentially regional significance be analyzed. A specific system of arterial roadways plus all freeways comprises the CMP system. Per CMP Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines, a traffic impact analysis is conducted where: At CMP arterial monitoring intersections, including freeway on -ramps or off -ramps, where the proposed project will add 50 or more vehicle trips during either AM or PM weekday peak hours. • At CMP mainline freeway -monitoring locations, where the project will add 150 or more trips, in either direction, during the either the AM or PM weekday peak hours. The nearest CMP arterial monitoring intersection to the project site is Pacific Coast Highway at Crenshaw Boulevard. Based on the Project trip generation and the distance of these CMP routes from the study intersections, it is not expected that 50 or more new trips per hour would be added to these locations. Therefore, no further analysis of potential CMP impacts is required. The nearest CMP mainline freeway -monitoring location to the project site is on I -I 10 at Wilmington south of C Street. Based on the trip distribution and traffic assignment presented, the proposed project is primarily local traffic rather than regional traffic. The proposed project is expected to add less than 150 new trips per hour to any freeway segments near the project site since the project generates local/neighborhood trips than regional trips. Therefore, no further analysis of CMP freeway monitoring stations is required.

Summary and Project Recommendations The following summarizes the traffic study results, findings and conclusions: • Under existing 2014 conditions, all of the three study locations are operating at LOS D or better during both peak hours under weekday and Sunday conditions. LOS values have improved, versus those calculated for the 2007 traffic study, due to diminished traffic volumes in the area. • An ambient growth rate of 0.5% per year was applied to reflect regional traffic growth in the study area. • Under existing plus ambient growth conditions, all of the three study locations will continue operating at LOS D or better during both peak hours under weekday and Sunday conditions. • The proposed Project is estimated to generate: 0 148 weekday trips 0 27 weekday AM peak hour trips 0 27 weekday PM peak hour trips • Under existing plus ambient plus Project conditions, traffic from the proposed Project is not expected to significantly impact any of the study locations. • Under existing plus ambient plus cumulative projects conditions, ten cumulative projects have been identified within the vicinity of the Project site. • Under existing plus ambient plus cumulative projects plus Project conditions (which includes the St. John Fisher Project), traffic from the proposed cumulative projects is not expected to significantly impact any of the study locations.

As part of the review process for the CUP extension of the previous approved phase two project scope, the City has requested an updated traffic study that accomplishes two objectives: Determine area traffic conditions with project phase one operations, and compare to estimated conditions of 2007 study. Document the project phase two improvements, the trip generation potential of those improvements, and summarize the overall project traffic impacts. The previously -approved phase two of the church master plan would provide for replacement of educational and site ancillary facilities including the following: - Art room School library • Preschool facility Music offices • Remodeling of existing offices into meeting rooms Administrative offices All of these facilities would serve current on-site operations, other than the preschool. The preschool is a proposed use and would serve up to 40 children (20 children in a morning program, and 20 children under a separate afternoon program), on weekdays only. The project will be analyzed with a 40 -student program for both peak and daily conditions, in order to be consistent with the 2007 study. The proposed meeting rooms would only serve existing church operations, would be used by existing church members and ministries, and would also not be available to outside groups. The church also does not plan to create new programs due to the pending completion of the meeting rooms. The site plan is included in Attachment A. Geogr-apl rjc Distribution: The same project trip distribution used in the 2007 KOA traffic impact study will be applied to this analysis, as applicable to new generated trips. The project study area is illustrated on the figure in Attachment B. T! -la Generation Calculations The trip generation table is provided below, for the preschool serving 40 children. It is assumed that some percent of vehicle trips to and from the overall school facilities on the site would be parents with children in both the preschool program and the grade school program. A 15 percent reduction in trips was taken for this purpose, as an estimate of the proportion of vehicle trips that would apply to this situation.

BACKGROUND The St. John Fisher Church, located at the intersection of Crest Road and Crenshaw Boulevard, has completed its first phase of improvements to its facilities and would now like to begin the second phase of improvements, which had been previously approved by the City. Due to the time that had elapsed since the initial traffic study had been performed, the City requested that the applicant provide an updated traffic study that compares the existing traffic conditions (now that the phase one improvements have been completed) to those estimated in the original traffic study performed in 2007, as well as to revisit the estimated traffic impacts related to the planned phase two improvements. The phase two improvements include an art room, school library, preschool facility, music offices, remodeling of existing offices into meeting rooms, and administrative offices. All of these phase two improvements would serve current on-site operations, with the exception of the pre-school facility. Therefore, the potential traffic impacts of the pre- school facility were evaluated in this study. DISCUSSION The traffic study approach was kept consistent to that used in 2007 so that an "apples -to - apples" comparison could be made. The traffic study methods also utilize the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation rates and Los Angeles County accepted methodologies. The analysis included collecting traffic count data during peak travel times on a weekday and a Sunday at the same intersection and roadway segments as had been done in the prior study. Furthermore, three scenarios were evaluated: the existing 2014 traffic conditions, the existing conditions plus ambient growth and project conditions, and the existing conditions plus ambient growth plus the project conditions and cumulative projects. Ambient growth of traffic was forecasted for the year 2022, since that is when it is anticipated that the phase two improvements would be complete. The list of cumulative 72 Saint John Fisher Church Traffic Study Update for Phase II Report April 27, 2015 Page 2 projects considered consists of ten nearby planned projects within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, as well as the City of Rolling Hills Estates, that are anticipated to generate additional trips in the area. Taking all of these factors into account, the study found that there will not be any significant traffic impacts to the study locations caused by the phase two improvements at the St. John Fisher Church. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that this traffic study report be approved. Upon approval by the Traffic Safety Committee, the application for the phase two of the project will then proceed to the rest of the process with the City Council.

and, WHEREAS, on November 16, 2008, the City Council opened the public hearing on the Appeal, and after hearing the public testimony and considering the information presented in the Staff Report, the City Council adjourned the public hearing to a site visit at the St. John Fisher property to beheld on November 22, 2008, to allow the City Council to walk throughout the subject property and surrounding neighborhood to assess the project and its potential impacts; and, WHEREAS, on November 22, 2008, the City Council conducted the continued public hearing, which was a site visit at the St. John Fisher property, and at the conclusion of the site visit, the City Council continued the public hearing to December 16, 2008; and, WHEREAS, on December 16, 2008, the City Council conducted the continued public hearing on the Appeal and heard and considered all of the additional materials that have been submitted after the first public hearing and all of the additional testimony that was presented; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND"), all of the public comments, both written and oral, about the proposed MND, and all of the other evidence that was presented to the City Council, including the staff reports prepared for the City Council and the Planning Commission. For the reasons discussed below, the City Council finds that the MND was prepared in the manner required by law and that there is no substantial evidence in the record of proceedings that, with the imposition of the proposed mitigation measures, the approval of the Project would result in a significant adverse effect upon the environment that would require the preparation of an environmental impact report ("EIR"). A. The proposed Project primarily consists of the construction of new structures and the remodel of some existing structures that are present on the site, to accommodate a church, school, pre-school and related administrative activities. The site was developed with a church, school, parking lot, and other related uses prior to the incorporation of the City. The only proposed new use on the site is a two -room pre-school. A new 17,000 square foot sanctuary is proposed, and the existing sanctuary will be converted into a gymnasium and multi-purpose room to accommodate school and church -related activities. The new sanctuary will be located on the portion of the site that abuts Crest Road to the north and Crenshaw Boulevard to the west, which is approximately seventy feet wide 1111089.2 Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 3 of 9 77 including public sidewalks on both sides of the street. The closest residences to the proposed new sanctuary are located in the Island View subdivision, which is on the opposite side of Crenshaw Boulevard. B. Staff prepared an Initial Study for the proposed project pursuant to CEQA. The results of the Initial Study determined that the proposed Project on this developed site will not result in or create any significant adverse environmental impacts, and will have a less than significant impact to Agricultural Resources, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation and/or Traffic, and Utilities and Service Systems. However, the Initial Study for the Project identified potentially significant impacts to Aesthetics, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Noise. After preparing the Initial Study, Staff determined that all of the potentially significant impacts could be mitigated to a less than significant level with the imposition of the mitigation measures identified in the MND. As such, Staff determined that a mitigated negative declaration was the appropriate CEQA document for analyzing and disclosing the proposed Project's potential significant environmental impacts. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered Staffs determination and the Planning Commission's decision, which confirmed Staff's findings, and has reached the same conclusion. C. Public Resources Code § 21080(c) states that an EIR is not required if the initial study demonstrates that no significant impacts will occur as a result of a proposed project, which cannot be mitigated to an insignificant level by the imposition of mitigation measures. As stated in Public Resources Code § 21064.5, a Mitigated Negative Declaration: "means a negative declaration prepared for a project when the initial study has identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment." D. An EIR must be prepared if a lead agency is presented with a fair argument, based on substantial evidence, that the project may have a significant environmental impact (CEQA Guidelines § 15064.f.1). Substantial evidence is defined as: "(a) ... enough relevant information and reasonable inferences from this information that a fair argument can be made to support a conclusion, even though other conclusions might also be reached. Whether a fair argument can be made that the project may have a significant effect on the environment is to be determined by examining the whole record before the lead agency. Argument, speculation, unsubstantiated opinion or narrative, evidence which is clearly erroneous or inaccurate, or evidence of social or economic impacts which do not contribute to or are not caused by physical impacts on the environment does not constitute substantial evidence, [and] (b) Substantial evidence shall include facts, reasonable 1111089.2 Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 4 of 9 WR assumptions predicated upon facts, and expert opinion supported by facts" (CEQA Guidelines § 15384). Additionally, according to Public Resources Code § 21082.2(b): "the existence of public controversy over the environmental effects of a project shall not require preparation of an environmental impact report if there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the lead agency that the project may have a significant effect on the environment." E. Several residents have testified that it is their opinion that the proposed sanctuary, which was reduced in height, size, scale and setback farther from the property line by the Planning Commission, will cause a significant impact due to its bulk and mass. In response to those concerns, a professional consultant conducted a study to ascertain if the proposed sanctuary and steeple will cast shadows upon adjacent residential properties. The shadow study concluded that no portion of the proposed sanctuary building would create shadows that affect any residential properties. The City Council finds that the distance between the proposed sanctuary and the nearest residences in the Island View tract, with Crenshaw Boulevard located in between, along with the study that was conducted, negates the opinions of the residents, which are not supported by substantial evidence, that a significant environmental impact will be caused by the new structure. Although opinions have been expressed by some residents that the proposed sanctuary will be visible from surrounding areas thus causing an aesthetic impact, the City Council finds that mere visibility from off-site locations does not constitute a significant environmental impact related to aesthetics. Further, there is not substantial evidence in the record to support the opinion and argument of the residents regarding alleged aesthetic impacts. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have correctly concluded that the bulk and mass of the proposed sanctuary and steeple will not cause a significant environmental impact that requires the preparation of an EIR, because any environmental impacts from the proposed sanctuary have been mitigated to an insignificant level by the imposition of mitigation measures limiting the height of the proposed structure and requiring it to be located 14'-0" feet from the Crest Road, north street side property line and 17'-0" from the Crenshaw Boulevard, west street side property line. F. The MND is based upon a Traffic Study and a Parking Analysis, which were prepared by professional consultants, and both of which conclude that there would be no significant adverse traffic or parking impacts as a result of the proposed Project. 1. Parking. The St. John Fisher Master Plan will have two main operating functions: 1) an elementary school that operates Monday through Friday and, 2) a sanctuary with multiple masses conducted primarily on Saturdays and Sundays and intermittent small masses throughout the week. In addition to the two primary operating functions of the St. John Fisher property, groups utilize the St. John Fisher facilities after primary school hours to conduct meetings or religious education classes. Due to the fact St. John Fisher is a multi - 1111089.2 Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 5 of 9 WE use property, Section 17.50.030(8) of the City's Development Code is applicable to the proposed project. This required the applicant to provide a detailed parking analysis that examined the parking demands for each component of the entire St. John Fisher Master Plan so that adequate parking is provided on-site and that there will be no significant impacts upon surrounding residential areas. The primary daytime uses of the St. John Fisher property that were analyzed in the parking study are the operation of an elementary school, new preschool, administration building and the new gymnasium between Monday and Friday and the operation of a church and religious education classes on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition to these primary uses, Staff identified additional ancillary uses within the St. John Fisher property that were also included in the parking analysis. These ancillary uses include the rectory (single-family residence), new library and the assembly spaces within the Barrett Hall, Fireside Room and Multi-purpose room. Staff required that the Applicant include these uses in a parking analysis to ensure that adequate on-site parking will be provided at all times. The Applicant proposed to provide 331 parking spaces along the southern portion of the subject property to meet the "worst-case" parking demand scenario that was identified by the detailed analysis that was prepared by the Applicant, which was reviewed and approved by the City's Traffic Consultant. The parking analysis determined that, in the worst-case scenario (regular Sundays between 10 AM and Noon) and based on the proposed operation of the St. John Fisher facilities, there was a demand for 331 parking spaces every Sunday between 10 AM and Noon. This worst-case scenario assumed the new sanctuary is filled to capacity (870 persons) and used in conjunction with religious education classes and the rectory. The primary weekday use(s) of the St. John Fisher facilities that are occupied by children enrolled in the school or persons working for the school during regular school hours, Monday through Friday, will be the elementary school, the preschool and the administrative offices. Because the St. John Fisher School is a member of the Catholic Youth Organization and participates in various sport leagues available to the children who are enrolled in the school and the youth organization, Staff also determined that the gymnasium was a primary daytime use Monday through Friday, during school hours. The Development Code requires the following parking for these primary daytime uses: Elementary School = 18 spaces Preschool = 8 spaces Administrative Offices = 37 spaces Gymnasium = 121 spaces TOTAL = 184 spaces The Applicant is proposing 331 parking spaces on site, leaving a surplus of 147 additional parking spaces along the southern portion of the subject property for use during 1111089.2 Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 6 of 9 .0 regular school hours. Based upon the parking analysis that was prepared by the Applicant and reviewed by the City's Traffic Consultant, in conjunction with the specifically designated classroom uses for religious education, the Applicant meets the requirements of Section 17.50.030 of the Development Code for joint -use and common parking facilities for both weekday and weekend uses. Thus, the Applicant's parking analysis demonstrated that the parking needs for all of the uses that would be conducted concurrently were being satisfied by the Applicant's parking plan. In addition, the City Council incorporated the requirement imposed by the Planning Commission that the applicant enter into an agreement with the owner of the adjacent Daughter's of Mary and Joseph property to allow St. John Fisher to use 50% of the parking (45 spaces) at Daughter's of Mary and Joseph site for overflow parking on Christmas, Easter Sunday and during the construction period. In addition, the 23 surplus seasonal/peak parking spaces located south of Barrett Hall will be provided for overflow parking. Accordingly, with ample parking being provided on-site, pursuant to the mitigation measures and conditions of approval, there will be no significant adverse impact on the environment arising from parking related to activities conducted on the site that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Accordingly, the preparation of an EIR is not required to address this issue. 2. Traffic. The Applicant had a licensed traffic engineer prepare an analysis of the impacts on traffic that would be generated by the proposed project. The traffic study, which was reviewed and approved by the City's Traffic Engineer, concluded that the addition of structures on the property, which would accommodate existing uses, plus the addition of the new two -room pre-school, would not cause any significant impacts upon traffic. In addition, the consultant also reviewed the proposed Project along with other projects in the vicinity to determine if there would be any cumulative impacts upon traffic in the area, when other projects are considered, and again determined that the Project would not contribute to cumulative significant environmental impacts upon traffic in the area. The City's traffic consultant reviewed a supplemental cumulative traffic study and agreed with these conclusions. Accordingly, there is no substantial evidence in the record that the Project will cause a significant adverse impact on the environment due to individual or cumulative impacts on traffic. G. The initial study contained a Staff analysis, which concluded that any potential impacts to aesthetics, air quality, geology, hydrology, noise, and water quality could be mitigated to a less than significant level with the incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures into the project. During the MND's formal comment period, as well as throughout the entire public hearing process before the Planning Commission and City Council, there was no substantial evidence submitted to suggest that the proposed Project, as mitigated, would have a significant adverse effect on the environment. On the contrary, additional evidence was submitted to affirm the MND's conclusions that, as conditioned, the proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the environment. Specifically, a sound study, which was prepared by a professional consultant, concluded that noise 1111089.2 Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 7 of 9 51 impacts from the proposed carillon bell would not be significant because the bells would not exceed 50 db, when measured at the property lines, which is well below the ambient noise level that occurs from constant daily traffic at the north and west property lines, adjacent to Crest Road and Crenshaw Boulevard. In addition, mitigation measures have been imposed that will regulate the times, duration and loudness of the proposed bells. Thus, the addition of the carillon bells will not create noise that will have a significant environmental impact. Accordingly, the City Council finds that an EIR also is not required to address this issue. H. Lighting Under the "aesthetics" section of the Initial Study, the Project was identified to potentially result in an aesthetic impact with regard to the creation of a new source of substantial light or glare, which could adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. The Initial Study identified components of the photometric site lighting plan to include new light standards within the new parking lot and exterior light fixtures around the new sanctuary. Based on the initial study, mitigation measures were incorporated into the Project to reduce the lighting impacts by requiring shields on lighting fixtures, requiring an inspection to insure no spillover onto adjacent properties and providing a trial period of six months to assess all lighting impacts. The six-month review period allows the City to require additional screening, reduction in intensity of any light or the incorporation of time -restrictions for exterior lighting that is determined to be excessively bright after installation. In addition, conditions of approval also have been imposed to regulate the brightness of, and limit the hours when, the lights that will illuminate the steeple and cross can be turned on. The City Council has reviewed this issue and determined that incorporation of these mitigation measures will result in less than significant impacts from the proposed lights. Section 2: There are no sensitive natural habitat areas on the subject site, which is currently developed and being used as a church and school. Therefore, the Project will have no individual or cumulative adverse impacts upon resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the State Fish and Game Code. Section 3: Based on the foregoing, the City Council finds, based upon its independent judgment and analysis of the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and the record of this matter, that with the imposition of the mitigation measures that have been proposed, which address the potential significant impacts of the project upon Aesthetics, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water and Noise, and reduce them to an insignificant level, the Project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council further finds that after examining the whole record before the Planning Commission and City Council, including the testimony and studies that have been prepared and presented, the opponents to the Project have not presented a fair argument supported by substantial evidence in the record, that the Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment that would require that an EIR be prepared. 1111089.2 Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 8 of 9 VA Section 4: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included in the record before the City Council, including the Staff Report, the Initial Study, the studies that have been conducted to evaluate whether the Project would cause significant environmental impacts, the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the Mitigation Monitoring Program, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby certifies that the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with CEQA, adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopts the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program (Exhibit "A"), which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

INTRODUCTION PURPOSE This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) is to allow the following project at 5448 Crenshaw Road, located at the southeast corner of Crenshaw Boulevard and Crest Road, in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes: A request for Conditional Use Permit #96 — Revision "D", Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit and Sign Permit to establish a Master Plan for the St. John Fisher Church and School property including: 32,426 square feet of new building area for a new sanctuary, preschool, administration building, library, art room, storage area, storage garage and offices; demolition of 10,329 square feet, including the existing rectory, youth building and offices; remodel 26,544 square feet of existing building area, including existing offices, classrooms, converting the existing convent into a new rectory and converting the existing sanctuary into a new gymnasium; a total of 30,688 cubic yards of grading, including 19,694 cubic yards of raw cut and 10,994 cubic yards of raw fill, resulting in 8,700 cubic yards of exportation; and a new monument sign, attached to the sanctuary, at the corner of Crest and Crenshaw. The MMP responds to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code, which requires a lead or responsible agency that approves or carries out a project where a Mitigated Negative Declaration has identified significant environmental effects, to adopt a "reporting or monitoring program for adopted or required changes to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects." The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is acting as lead agency for the project. An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the project. Where appropriate, this environmental document recommended mitigation measures to mitigate or avoid impacts identified. Consistent with Section 21080 (2)(c) of the Public Resources Code, a mitigation reporting or monitoring program is required to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures under the jurisdiction of the City are implemented. The City will adopt this MMP when adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration. ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES This MMP has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (CEQA Guidelines), as amended (California Administrative Code Section 15000 et seq.). This MMP complies with the rules, regulations, and procedures adopted by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for implementation of CEQA. MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code states: "When making the findings required by subdivision (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting a negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 21081, the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project Resolution No. 2009-09 Exhibit A Page 2 of 13 NR approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. For those changes which have been required or incorporated into the project at the request of an agency having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the lead or responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program." II.

and, Resolution No. 2009-10 Page 3 of 7 We WHEREAS, on November 22, 2008, the City Council conducted the continued public hearing, which was a site visit at the St. John Fisher property, and at the conclusion of the site visit, the City Council continued the public hearing to December 16, 2008; and, WHEREAS, on December 16, 2008, the City Council conducted the continued public hearing on the appeal and heard and considered all of the additional materials that have been submitted after the first public hearing and all of the additional testimony that was presented: NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the intended use and implementation of the Project, as the site measures 399,804 square feet (9.2 acres), the majority of the site is relatively flat (less than 5% slope) and is large enough to accommodate the construction of a new sanctuary, administration building, art room, library, a new preschool, ancillary offices and storage area, and the elements of the Master Plan comply with the general development standards of the RPVMC. Additionally, the proposed parking and parking analysis were reviewed and determined to be adequate by the City's consulting Traffic Engineer. Section 2: The site for the proposed uses relates to streets and highways that are properly designed to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use as a traffic impact study and supplemental cumulative traffic analysis, which was reviewed and approved by the City's Traffic Engineer, indicate that the increase in trip generation that would be caused by the Project is negligible and would not require mitigation. Further, a parking analysis was reviewed and approved by the City's Traffic Consultant whereby the highest number of parking spaces necessary to accommodate potential vehicles during the highest peak hours of operation for the entire property would be 331 parking spaces. Therefore, the City Council hereby concludes that, as conditioned, the off-street parking that is proposed for the Project will be adequate to accommodate the uses that are conducted on site, even during the days and hours of peak use. Section 3: There will be no significant adverse effect on adjacent property or the permitted use thereof because mitigation measures have been incorporated that reduce the potential impacts of the Project on Aesthetics, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Noise to an insignificant level. Further, additional conditions have been incorporated into the design of the Project that reduce to an insignificant level the potential impacts of the institutional use and related buildings on adjacent properties and the residents thereof. In that regard, a study was conducted to determine if the height of the proposed building and steeple will cast a shadow over adjacent residential properties. The conclusion of that study was that because of the size and configuration of the subject property, the height of the proposed structures will not cast shadows on adjacent properties. Residents in the community also raised concerns about potential impacts that could be caused by the installation of bells near the steeple that will ring periodically. After having heard the sound of the proposed bells, and imposing conditions that will regulate the time of day when the bells can be rung, and limiting the Resolution No. 2009-10 Page 4 of 7 101 number of times, volume, and the duration of the ringing, the City Council hereby finds that, as conditioned, the bells will not cause a significant adverse impact upon adjacent properties. Section 4: The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan's Institutional land use designation of the site, and with the types of land uses permitted within the Development Code's Institutional zoning district, which includes religious institutions, as the General Plan states that "the City shall encourage the development of institutional facilities to serve the political, social and cultural needs of its citizens." Section 5: Conditions have been imposed to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, which include setback and buffers, lighting restrictions, vehicular ingress and/or egress, landscaping, maintenance of structures, and other conditions, as identified in Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Section 6: The proposed grading is necessary for the implementation of the Project and the associated construction for the permitted primary use of the lot due to the size of the lot (9.2 acres) and the fact that a majority of the proposed grading will occur within the developed portions of the property. Section 7: The proposed grading and/or related construction would not significantly adversely affect the visual relationships with or views from the viewing area of neighboring properties, as a majority of the existing grade elevations will be maintained between grade elevation 1219' and 1222', which are heights that do not interfere with the visual relationships with, or views from, the viewing area of neighboring properties. Section 6: The proposed grading minimizes disturbances to the natural contours, and the finished contours are reasonably natural, as all grading will include blending man- made or manufactured slopes into the natural topography. Section 9: The grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of the natural landscape or wildlife habitat through the removal of vegetation, as there is no evidence of natural landscape or wildlife on the property or within the surrounding neighborhood. Section 10: The grading application is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Section 17.76.040 of the Municipal Code, since it provides for the reasonable additional development of the parcel with an institutional use. Section 11: Approval of the grading permit will not constitute a special privilege with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity, as the surrounding neighborhood is comprised of many hillside properties that utilize retaining walls and grading techniques. Further, the subject property has an existing pad area that will be maximized to accommodate the new construction in the connection with the Project. Section 12; The proposed grading will not be detrimental to the public safety, or to other properties as the City's geotechnical consultant will be required to approve a soils Resolution No. 2009-10 Page 5 of 7 102 engineering report for the grading and retaining walls. Further, all structures and retaining walls will be required to be engineered to meet the requirements of the building code. Section 13: The proposed grading is acceptable, as the maximum height of cut and/or fill of remedial grading was determined by a geology and soils report submitted by the applicant and approved "in -concept for planning purposes" by the City's Geologist. Section 14: The minor exception to allow three combination walls to exceed the 6'- 0" "by -right" height limit for walls as measured from the highest grade elevation is necessary to avoid inconsistencies with the general intent of Title 17 of the RPVMC, as the Building Code requires a guardrail on top of all walls that exceed 30" in height adjacent to the neighboring properties and/or walkways throughout the subject property. The applicant will be required to construct a guardrail or fence on top of the proposed retaining walls to protect the safety of people on the subject property and adjacent properties. Section 15: The minor exception for the combination walls is warranted as the height of the combination walls will not be detrimental to the public safety and welfare as the fence on top of the proposed retaining walls will provide a safety barrier for people between the subject lot and the neighboring properties to the south and east as well as safety for the play area for the students and pedestrians in the parking lot. Section 16: The minor exception for the combination walls is warranted as the line of sight over or through the fences is adequate for safety and the walls do not significantly impair a view from the viewing area of an adjacent parcels, as there are no views over the site that are enjoyed from the viewing areas of adjacent parcels. Section 17: The minor exception permit is warranted, as the proposed combination walls will be located outside of the intersection visibility triangle. Section 18: The minor exception permit is warranted ,as the retaining portion of the combination walls does not exceed the grading limits set forth in Section 17.76.040 of the RPVMC. Section 19: The proposed signs are consistent with the sign standards of the City's Development Code and, accordingly, are approved for that reason. 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 City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby conditionally approves Conditional Use Permit #96 — Revision "D", Grading Permit, Minor Exception Permit and Sign Permit (Planning Case No. ZON2007-00492) for the establishment of a Master Plan for the development of the St. John Fisher Church and School property, including: 32,426 square feet of new building area for a new sanctuary, preschool, administration building, library, art room, storage area, storage garage and offices; demolition of 10,329 square feet, including the existing rectory, youth building and offices; remodel 26,544 square feet of existing building area, including existing offices, classrooms, converting the existing convent into a new rectory and converting the existing sanctuary into a new gymnasium; a total of 30,688 cubic Resolution No. 2009-10 Page 6 of 7 103 yards of grading, including 19,694 cubic yards of raw cut and 10,994 cubic yards of raw fill, resulting in 8,700 cubic yards of exportation; and a new monument sign, attached to the sanctuary, at the corner of Crest and Crenshaw, located at 5448 Crest Road, subject to the conditions of approval in the attached Exhibit 'B', which are incorporated herein and into the project by this reference. Section 21: The time within which judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation.
