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 continue to be made in order to support approval of the Conditional Use Permit amendment application.The specific findings of fact are listed and discussed in the "Discussion"portion of the Staff Report. BACKGROUND In June 1992,the City Council approved the Ocean Trails project (now known as Trump National),which,at that time,included an 18-hole golf course,clubhouse,public open space and 83 single-family residential lots.Since June 1992,the project has been revised several times.Today,the approved project includes an 18-hole golf course,Clubhouse, 1-2 Driving Range,public open space and 59 single-family residential lots.The 59 single- family residential lots are within two different tracts;23 lots within Tract No.50666 and 36 lots within Tract No.50667.Tract No.50666 is still a Vesting Tentative Tract Map,while Tract No.50667 has been finaled and recorded. Shortly after the original approval of the project by the City in the early 1990's,the project was appealed to the California Coastal Commission.Subsequently,the Coastal Commission approved the project and issued its own Coastal Permit.As currently entitled, the project is required to meet the conditions of approval from all of its City entitlements as well as the conditions of approval from its Coastal Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission.The City is charged with enforcing its conditions pertaining to the City- approved entitlements,while the Coastal Commission is charged with enforcing its conditions related to the Coastal Permit.Significant amendments to the project typically require approval by both agencies. On June 7,2005,the City Council approved Revision "w"to the project,which allowed development of the Driving Range in place of 16 residential lots.The approval of the Driving Range included the certification of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND),which included various mitigation measures,and the adoption of specific conditions of approval through an amendment to the project's existing entitlements. The Driving Range was subsequently constructed,but has been operating on a temporary basis through the Council's periodic approval of amendments to the project's Grading Permit.While a geology report has been approved for the Driving Range,which was one of the main issues holding up its permanent opening,there are other items/conditions of approval that need to be completed before the City could allow a permanent opening of the Driving Range.These include:Coastal Commission approval of the Driving Range, approval of an As-built Geotechnical report for the Driving Range,submittal of a paleontological report addressing any finds discovered through the grading operation,and the installation of specific fencing,landscaping and signage. On January 17,2013,the City Council approved Revision ZZ to the Trump National Golf Club project,thereby allowing the installation of a New Zealand Christmas Tree Hedge ranging in height from 6'tall to 9'-8"tall to be planted at the western edge of the Driving Range.As part of that approval,the Council adopted Resolution No.2012-04,which included a revision to Condition K-2b of CUP No.163,specifying in detail the approved hedge,including its specific measurements,maintenance requirements and schedule, enforcement mechanism the City may use if the hedge is out of compliance,and a requirement that the Applicant obtain approval of the hedge species from the California Coastal Commission prior to its installation. On April 25,2013,the Trump Organization submitted an application request (see attached letter dated April 24,2013)to the City to revise CUP No.163 Condition K-2b to remove the statement requiring that the Trump Organization obtain approval of the hedge species from the California Coastal Commission prior to installation ofthe driving range hedge approved by the City through Revision ZZ. 1-3 DISCUSSION As noted in the Background section above,upon approving the hedge as part of Revision ZZ,the City Council adopted a revision to Condition K-2b of CUP No.163,specifying the details of the proposed hedge.The text of the adopted condition is as follows: "K-2b.Landscaping within the project area shall be planted in such a manner so that views from adjacent properties and any public right-of-way are not affected. The Applicant may install and maintain a New Zealand Christmas Tree hedge at a location and height (9.8'high at its northern end and gradually decreasing in height to 6.0'high at its southerly end)that will not exceed the height shown on the Site Plan that was approved and determined not to affect a view by the City Council on January 17,2012,through Resolution No.2012-04.Further,once planted,the hedge shall be maintained at or below said height and shall not grow further north than the GPS coordinates of "Post 1"and further south than the GPS coordinates of "Post 3"as shown on the certified surveyed plan,which is Exhibit B to Resolution No.2012-04 and titled "Driving Range Proposed Silhouette Posts Location - Survey Date 12-02-2011 ':As part of said installation,the Applicant shall also install and maintain stakes within the hedge that will represent the approved height and length of the hedge.Said stakes shall be installed at intervals no greater than 5'apart and shall be surveyed to their height and overall length with a certification stamped by a licensed surveyor that will also include the GPS coordinates for the southerly and northerly end stakes.Further,after said hedge has been installed,the hedge shall be trimmed/maintained no later than within the first week (seven calendar days)of each month to ensure that the height and length of the hedge does not exceed the approved height and length as represented by the stakes.Ifat any time,upon investigation by City Staff,it appears that the stakes have been altered so that it affects their height and/or length,then at the request of the City,and subject to the review and approval by the Community Development Director, the Applicant shall re-survey and re-certifythe height ofthe stakes and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that they represent the maximum permitted height and/or length of the hedge.Ifthe Applicant does not maintain the hedge at or below its maximum height and length according to this condition,and if the Applicant fails to take corrective action to come into compliance with this condition within 30 days following notification by the Community Development Director,the City and/or its landscape maintenance contractor shall be permitted and is authorized by the property owner to access the property and remove the hedge.All costs associated with the City's removal of said hedge shall be paid by the propert owner to the Cit within 30 da s ofthe ro ert owner receivin an invoice for said costs. Through tonight's proposed amendment (Revision CCC),the Applicant is requesting that the City Council revise Condition K-2b by removing its last sentence (shown hi-lighted above). Why was the Last Sentence of Condition K-2b added? The Coastal Commission-approved plan and plant palette for Trump National is divided 1-4 into the following five landscape themed areas:1)Residential/Clubhouse/Parks Plant Palette,2)Golf Course Plant Palette,3)Coastal Bluff Scrub Plant Palette,4)Coastal Sage Scrub Plant Palette,and 5)Fire Buffer Zone Plant Palette.The plant palette approved by the Coastal Commission identifies the area where the City-approved New Zealand Christmas Tree hedge (Revision ZZ)is proposed to be located as being within the "Residential/Clubhouse/Parks Plant Palette because this was the same location as the originally approved residential subdivision.Since this area is now being used as a Driving Range,in 2012 Staff was not clear if it would be consistent with the Coastal Commission's approved plant palette because the Driving Range is more akin to what could be considered the "Golf Course Plant Palette",which does not list the "New Zealand Christmas Tree"as an approved species.During the review of Revision ZZ,Staff contacted the Coastal Commission Staff to obtain direction on how the Commission would like this issue addressed.Coastal Commission Staff was not sure if this would be a simple administrative amendment or a substantial amendment requiring a Coastal Commission hearing.Not knowing the Coastal Commission Staff's position,Staff elected to add the last sentence to Condition K-2b;requiring Coastal Commission approval of the species prior to the installation of the hedge. Is the Last Sentence of Condition K-2b Necessary? While Staff added the last sentence to Condition K-2b because it was unsure of the Commission's position as to if the hedge species required Coastal Commission approval, being that the Coastal Commission has jurisdiction over any changes to the project,and like past amendments to the project where the City did not add a condition requiring Coastal Commission approval of the amendment,it is Staff's position that the last sentence of the condition in this case is not necessary as well.This is because removing the sentence does not in any way remove the Applicant's obligation to obtain Coastal Commission approval of the hedge species before it is installed. According to the Applicant's letter (attached),it appears that the Applicant desires the condition to be removed so as to have the option of installing the hedge in the near future while the Applicant continues to work out its issues pertaining to the processing of the Coastal Permit with the Coastal Commission.The letter also acknowledges that the Coastal Commission has jurisdiction with regard to this matter.If the Council approves removing the last sentence of Condition K-2b,this will clarify that it is the Coastal Commission,and not the City,that has jurisdiction over the conditions of the Coastal Permit and the enforcement of those conditions.Thus,if the Applicant were to install the hedge without approval from Coastal Staff or the Commission,the Coastal Commission could take action against the Trump Organization for planting the hedge without Coastal authorization,if such authorization is determined to be necessary by the Coastal Commission Staff. On the other hand,if the Council decides not to remove the last sentence in Condition K- 2b,and the Applicant installs the hedge prior to obtaining Coastal Commission approval, then that would be a violation of the City's conditions of approval,which could subject the Trump Organization to a City Code Enforcement action.This could result in the 1-5 expenditure of City·resources to enforce provisions of the Coastal Permit,when the Commission,rather than the City,has jurisdiction over that permit and the determination of the level of compliance that is required. Findings for Revision "CCC" The 2012 approval of Revision "ZZ"for the hedge was an amendment to Conditional Use Permits No.163.In approving Revision "ZZ",the City Council adopted the following findings of fact: Conditional Use Permit Nos.162 and 163: 1.That the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use and for all of the yards,setbacks,walls,fences,landscaping and other features required by this title or by conditions imposed under this section to integrate said use with those on adjacent land and within the neighborhood; 2..That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use; 3.That,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.That the proposed use is not contrary to the general plan; 5.That,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,the proposed use complies with all applicable requirements of that chapter;and 6.That 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:a.Setbacks and buffers;b.Fences or walls;c.Lighting;d.Vehicular ingress and egress;e. Noise,vibration, odors and similar emissions;f.Landscaping;g.Maintenance of structures,grounds or signs;h.Service roads or alleys;and i.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 forth in this title. The proposed revision "CCC"only causes a relatively minor revision to the existing Condition K-2b and does not necessitate a change to any of the other existing conditions of approval or mitigation measures adopted for the project.However,since the 2012 Revision "ZZ"was approved through an amendment to CUP No.163,in reviewing the proposed revisions under Revision "CCC",the City Council must re-affirm that the same findings of fact adopted for Revision "ZZ"can still be adopted for the currently proposed Revision "CCC".As the proposed change under Revision "CCC"is relatively minor and Staff does not find any conflict with the findings noted above,Staff believes that the findings can still be made for the proposed revision. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Coastal Commission Staff Response Staff informed Coastal Commission Staff of the Applicant's request asking for any comments on the request.Coastal Staff replied to Staff's request by indicating: "Retaining the language would ensure that the correct permit process is reflected on the City's permit.That is,the applicant,or his successor in interest,applies for an amendment to the permit from the Commission,unless the Executive Director ofthe 1-6 Commission determines that no amendment is legally required.Retention of the language would ensure that there is no confusion over the correct permit procedure, and that a Coastal Development Permit is approved before development occurs on the site." Staff agrees that retaining the language does to some degree assist in identifying the process that is necessary for an amendment to the project.However,as stated in this report,the City has not typically placed this condition on prior amendments to the project as it has always been known that the project Applicant,or his successor in interest,must obtain Coastal approval of amendments to the project.This is well known because the project must be consistent with not only the City's conditions of approval and mitigation measures,but also the Coastal Commission's conditions issued through their Coastal Permit.Removing this portion of the condition does not in any way remove the property owner's obligation to obtain the Coastal Commission's approval,whether that be through the Commission or the Executive Director,nor does it in any way release the Owner from complying with all of the conditions of approval of the Coastal Permit issued by the Commission. City Council Members within 500'Radius of the Subject Property Staff has confirmed that Councilman Duhovic resides within a 500'radius of the Trump National project site.Staff also believes that Councilman Duhovic has a view of the Driving Range from his property.Based upon advice from the City Attorney and the FPPC, Councilman Duhovic has abstained from prior decisions regarding this Project and likewise should abstain from participating in the Council's decision regarding this application. Public Notice A Notice of Public Hearing for this request was published in the Peninsula News on Thursday,May 2,2013,mailed to all property owners within a 500'radius of the subject site and to the Trump National interested parties list,and published on the City's list serve system.At the time this report was prepared,Staff received the attached letters opposed to the request. Environmental Assessment Staff and the City Attorney have reviewed the proposed application for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).Upon completion of this review,it has been determined that the proposed modifications to Condition K-2b would not cause a significant adverse impact nor result in new significant effects not previously analyzed.As such,an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Driving Range may be approved. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the last sentence of Condition K-2b may be removed because the species of hedge is consistent with the type and size of species envisioned for this area of the project per the project's original 1990's approval of the project by both the City and Coastal Commission.More importantly however,given that the project has a separate Coastal Permit issued by the Coastal Commission,the determination of whether the 1-7 proposed hedge species requires Coastal Commission approval is the responsibility and jurisdiction of the Coastal Commission and not the City and,therefore,the portion of the City's condition requiring Coastal Commission approval of the species is not necessary. Further,if the sentence is removed,and the hedge is installed prior to obtaining approval from the Coastal Commission,it will be clear that the Coastal Commission,rather than the City,is the proper agency to enforce the conditions of the Coastal Permit and to determine if the hedge should be removed.This will save the City from expending resources to enforce conditions of the Coastal permit,over which the City does not exercise control.

requesting approval of Revision "CCC"to the Trump National Golf Club project to revise Condition K-2b within CUp.No.163,so as delete the reference of the Applicant having to obtain Coastal Commission approval of the New Zealand Christmas Tree species for the proposed hedge on the Driving Range;and, WHEREAS,a Notice of Public Hearing for the Revision "CCC"request to be heard by the City Council on May 21,2013,was published in the Peninsula News on Thursday,May 2,2013,mailed to all property owners within a 500'radius of the subject site,mailed to all neighboring homeowner associations,mailed to the Trump National interested parties list and posted on the City's list-server messaging system for the Trump National project;and, WHEREAS,pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et.seq.("CEQA"),the State CEQA Guidelines,California Code of Regulations,Title 14, Sections 15000 et.seq.,the City's Local CEQA Guidelines,and Government Code Section 65952.5(e) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement),on May 16,2013,copies of the draft Addendum NO.2 to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Driving Range were distributed to the City Council and prior to taking action on the proposed project,the City Council independently reviewed and considered the information and findings contained in Addendum No.2;and, WHEREAS,on May 21,2013,after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Development Code,the City Council held a public hearing to consider draft Addendum NO.2 to the Driving Range Mitigated Negative Declaration,and Revision CCC for a proposed revision to Condition K-2b regarding the hedge on the Driving Range,at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence;and, NOW,THEREFORE,THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND,DETERMINE,AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1:The Applicant's request for Revision CCC is a request to delete the last sentence of Condition K-2b of CUP No.163,which would delete the requirement for the Applicant to obtain Coastal Commission approval of the New Zealand Christmas Tree species prior to installation of the New Zealand Christmas Tree hedge on the Driving Range.Pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines,approval of Addendum NO.2 to the previously certified Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Driving Range,rather than the preparation of a new MND,is appropriate for the consideration of the proposed revisions to the Trump National project,based on the following findings: 1.That subsequent changes proposed to the project do not require important revisions to the previous MND,since there are no new environmental impacts that have been identified, which were not considered in the previous MND and the addendum thereto.This is so,since the proposed changes identified above and in Exhibit "A"to Addendum No.2,which is Resolution No.2013- Page 50f71-13 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,would not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment that were not already analyzed within the MND. More specifically,the proposal is only to a minor modification to Condition K-2b of CUP No. 163 to delete the requirement that the Applicant obtain Coastal Commission approval of the New Zealand Christmas Tree species prior to the installation of the hedge along the western property line.This portion of the condition is unnecessary because the Coastal Commission already has jurisdiction over this matter,due to the conditions of the Coastal Permit,which was issued by the Commission.The removal of this sentence does not affect the Coastal Commission's continued jurisdiction over this matter. Therefore,there have been no substantial changes to the Project or to the environment caused by the proposed Revision CCC that would cause the Project to significantly impact the environment,nor does the proposed Revision CCC affect a change that would impact the environment in any manner that was not previously considered and mitigated to the extent feasible by the mitigation measures that were imposed in connection within the MND that was approved for the Driving Range. 2.That substantial changes to the project would not occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken,which would require important revisions to the previous MND,since,as noted in #1 above,there are no new environmental impacts that were not considered in the previous MND. 3.That there is no new information of substantial importance to the project which indicates that this approved change (Revision CCC)will have one or more significant effects not discussed previously in the MND;that significant effects previously examined will not be substantially more severe than shown in the MND;that no mitigation measures or alternatives,previously found not to be feasible,would now in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project;or that no mitigation measures or alternatives which were not previously considered in the MND,would now substantially lessen one or more significant effects of the environment. Section 2:In approving Addendum NO.2 to the Driving Range MND,the City Council has reviewed and considered the Addendum NO.2 document,attached hereto and made a part thereof as Exhibit "A". Section 3:The Addendum NO.2 to the Driving Range MND identifies no new potential significant adverse environmental impacts to the areas listed below,beyond those already identified in the adopted Driving Range MND or the overall project's Final EIR No.36,the Supplement,Second Supplement,and Addenda Nos.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28, 29,30, 31,32, 33, 34,35,36,37, 38,39,40,41,42,43,44 and 45 to EIR No.36,as a result of the proposed revisions to the Trump National project: 1.Landform,Geology,and Soils 2.Hydrology and Drainage 3.Biological Resources 4.Cultural and Scientific Resources 5.Aesthetics 6.Land Use and Relevant Planning 7.Circulation and Traffic 8.Air Resources 9.Noise 10.Public Services and Utilities 11.Population,Employment and Housing 12.Fiscal Impacts Resolution No.2013- Page 6 of7 1-14 Section 4:That implementation of the proposed changes to the project would not require additional mitigation measures or significant deletions/modifications to the mitigation measures included in the adopted Driving Range MND or the overall project's Final EIR,as well as the Supplemental,Second Supplemental,and Addends Nos.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28, 29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44 and 45 to EIR No.36. Section 5:While the implementation of mitigation measures as discussed in the adopted Driving Range MND and Final EIR No.36 and the Supplemental,and the Second Supplemental,and Addenda EIR Nos.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31, 32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44 and 45 to EIR 36 will further reduce these impacts,it is not possible to entirely eliminate cumulative impacts to the areas of concern listed in EIR No.36,above. Therefore,the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations,as provided in Final EIR No.36,are hereby incorporated by reference. Section 6:All findings,attachments and Statement of Overriding Considerations contained in Resolution Nos.92-53,92-115,93-89,94-71,96-15,and 2006-62,as adopted by the City Council on June 1, 1992,December 7,1992,October 5,1993,September 6,1994,March 11,1996,September 3,1996,and June 7,20(;)5 respectively,are hereby incorporated by reference. Section 7:The time within which the judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution,if available,must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other applicable short period of limitations. Section 8:For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings contained in the staff reports,minutes,and evidence presented at the public hearings,the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Addendum NO.2 to the Driving Range Mitigated Negative Declaration,based on the City Council's determination that the document was completed in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and State and local guidelines with respect thereto. PASSED,APPROVED,and ADOPTED this 21 sl day of May 2013. Mayor Attest: City Clerk STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES )ss CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ) I,Carla Morreale,City Clerk of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,hereby certify that the above Resolution No. 2013-_was duly and regularly passed and adopted by the said City Council at a regular meeting held on May 21,2013. City Clerk Resolution No.2013- Page 7 of71-15 Resolution No.2013-_ Exhibit "A" ADDENDUM NO.2 TO MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE DRIVING RANGE The City Council has reviewed the proposed Revision "CCC"to the Trump National Golf Course Project,which is a request to remove the statement within Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 that requires the Trump Organization obtain approval of the hedge species from the California Coastal Commission prior to installation of the driving range hedge that was approved by the City through Revision ZZ. The approved request would not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment that are not already analyzed within the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)for the Driving Range,because it simply allows for a minor modification to Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 to delete the requirement that the Applicant obtain Coastal Commission approval of the New Zealand Christmas Tree species prior to its installation.This portion of the condition is unnecessary because the Coastal Commission already has jurisdiction regarding this issue due to the conditions of approval of the Coastal Permit.Thus,regardless of the City's condition,the Coastal Commission and the Coastal 8taff still need to determine if this species of tree satisfies the conditions of approval of the Coastal Permit. Therefore,there have been no substantial changes to the Project or to the environment caused by the removal of the last sentence of Condition K-2b through Revision CCC that would cause the Project to significantly impact the environment,nor does Revision CCC affect a change that would impact the environment in any manner that was not previously considered and mitigated to the extent feasible within the Driving Range MND.

NOW,THEREFORE,THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND,DETERMINE,AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1:The Applicant's request for Revision CCC is a request to delete the last sentence of Condition K-2b of CUP No.163,which would delete the requirement for the Applicant to obtain Coastal Resolution No.2013- Page 5 of9 1-21 Commission approval of the New Zealand Christmas Tree species prior to installation of the New Zealand Christmas Tree hedge on the Driving Range. Section 2:Pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines,approval of Addendum NO.2 to the previously certified Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)for the Driving Range, rather than the preparation of a new MND,is appropriate for the consideration of the proposed revisions to the Trump National Golf Club project,based on the following findings: 1.That subsequent changes proposed to the project do not require important revisions to the previous MND,since there are no new environmental impacts that have been identified,which were not considered in the previous MND.This is so,since the proposed changes identified above and attached Exhibit "A"to Addendum NO.2 would not result in any new or increased impacts to the environment that are not already analyzed within the MND. More specifically,the proposal is only to a minor modification to Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 to delete the requirement that the Applicant obtain Coastal Commission approval of the New Zealand Christmas Tree species prior to its installation.This portion of the condition is unnecessary because the Coastal Commission already has jurisdiction over this matter by virtue of the Coastal Permit and would need to approve the species regardless of the portion of the City's Condition K-2b that is proposed to be removed. Therefore,there have been no substantial changes to the Project or to the environment caused by the proposed Revision CCC that would cause the Project to significantly impact the environment,nor does the proposed Revision CCC affect a change that would impact the environment in any manner that was not previously considered and mitigated to the extent feasible within the Driving Range MND. 2.That substantial changes to the project would not occur with respect to the circumstances under whiCh the project is undertaken,which would require important revisions to the previous MND,since,as noted in #1 above,there are no new environmental impacts that were not considered in the previous MND. 3.That there is no new information of substantial importance to the project which indicates that this approved change (Revision CCC)will have one or more significant effects not discussed previously in the MND;that significant effects previously examined will not be substantially more severe than shown in the MND;that no mitigation measures or alternatives,previously found not to be feasible,would now in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project;or that no mitigation measures or alternatives which were not previously considered in the MND,would now substantially lessen one or more significant effects of the environment. Section 3:Pursuant to Section 17.60.050 of the Development Code,in approving the request for Revision "ccc"to CUP No.163 the City Council finds that: a.As approved through Revision ZZ (Resolution No.2012-04),the City Council previously determined that the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed hedge and for all of the yards,setbacks,walls,fences,landscaping and other features required by this title or by conditions imposed under this section to integrate said use with those on adjacent land and within the neighborhood. Further,the approval of Revision CCC for a minor change to Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 (through Revision ZZ)to remove a portion of the condition as stated in Section 1 above does not change this determ ination. b.As approved through Revision ZZ (Resolution No.2012-04),the City Council previously determined that the proposed hedge will not cause any increase in use of the subject golf course site and therefore will not generate any increase in the use of streets,highways or necessitate additional parking Resolution No.2013- Page 6 of9 1-22 spaces at the site.As such,the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use.Further,the approval of Revision CCC for a minor change in Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 (through Revision ZZ)to remove a portion of the condition as stated in Section 1 above does not change this determination. c.As previously approved by the City Council through Revision ZZ (Resolution No.2012-04),it has been determined that the In approving the proposed hedge at the specific location that has been proposed,there will not be a significant adverse effect on adjacent property because,in considering the expansive views from existing residences and the public right of way of Palos Verdes Drive South, although the proposed hedge will slightly encroach into views,the proposed hedge does not adversely effect the overall panoramic view nor create "significant"view impairment as defined through the City's Municipal Code and View Guidelines and thus will not have a significant adverse effect.Further,the approval of Revision CCC for a minor change in Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 (through Revision ZZ)to remove a portion of the condition as stated in Section 1 above does not change this determination. d.As previously approved by the City Council through Revision ZZ (Resolution No.2012-04),it has been determined that the proposal is not contrary to the General Plan because the General Plan (Page 189 -Figure 41)has identified views and vistas that overlook the project site from Palos Verdes Drive South.Additionally,a Goal of the General Plan (Page 176)states, "Palos Verdes Peninsula is graced with views and vistas of the surrounding Los Angeles basin and coastal region.Because of its unique geographic form and coastal resources,these views and vistas are a significant resource to residents and to many visitors,as they provide a rare means of experiencing the beauty of the peninsula and the Los Angeles region.It is the responsibility of the City to preserve these views and vistas for the public benefit and,where appropriate,the City should strive to enhance and restore these resources,the visual character of the City,and provide and maintain access for the benefit and enjoyment of the public. Because the hedge's encroachment upon views is minimal as described in paragraphs "a"and "c"above, the proposed hedge does not conflict with this Goal nor any other goals or policies of the General Plan. Further,the approval of Revision CCC for a minor change in Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 (through Revision ZZ)to remove a portion of the condition as stated in Section 1 above does not change this determination. e.As approved previously by the City Council through Revision ZZ (Resolution No.2012-04),it has been determined that the proposal is located within the "Natural","Socio/cultural",and "Urban Appearance"overlay control districts established by Municipal Code Chapter 17.40,and the proposed hedge is consistent with all applicable requirements of that chapter specifically due to the minor affect upon views by the proposed project as described in paragraphs "a"and "c"above.Further,the approval of Revision CCC for a minor change in Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 (through Revision ZZ)to remove a portion of the condition as stated in Section 1 above does not change this determination. f.As approved previously by the City Council through Revision ZZ (Resolution No.2012-04),it has been determined that a revision to an existing condition of approval (condition K-2b of CUP No.163)is necessary to protect the health,safety and general welfare because it clarifies that the Coastal Commission,rather than the City,is responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of the conditions of the Coastal Permit.This change will eliminate confusion about this issue,which benefits the public welfare by conserving City resources and eliminating the potential for inconsistent interpretations of the conditions of the Coastal Permit.Specifically,in Resolution No.2012-04,the existing condition K-2b was revised to ensure that the proposed hedge is planted and maintained at the exact approved height and length and does not increase in height or length so as not to affect views more than what is proposed. Revision CCC is a minor change to Condition K-2b of CUP No.163 to clarify the responsibility for the enforcement and interpretation of the conditions of the Coastal Permit is with the Coastal Commission, and the following modification to Condition K-2b shall take affect with this approval:(strikethrough text for text deleted): Resolution No.2013- Page 70f9 1-23 K-2.b.Landscaping within the project area shall be planted in such a manner so that views from adjacent properties and any public right-of-way are not affected The Applicant may install and maintain a New Zealand Christmas Tree hedge at a location and height (9.8'high at its northern end and gradually decreasing in height to 6.0'high at its southerly end)that will not exceed the height shown on the Site Plan that was approved and determined not to affect a view by the City Council on January 17,2012,through Resolution No.2012-04.Further,once planted,the hedge shall be maintained at or below said height and shall not grow further north than the GPS coordinates of "Post 1 "andfurther south than the GPS coordinates of "Post 3"as shown on the certified surveyed plan,which is Exhibit B to Resolution No.2012-04 and titled "Driving Range Proposed Silhouette Posts Location - Survey Date 12-02-2011".As part ofsaid installation,the Applicant shall also install and maintain stakes within the hedge that will represent the approved height and length of the hedge.Said stakes shall be installed at intervals no greater than 5'apart and shall be surveyed to their height and overall length with a certification stamped by a licensed surveyor that will also include the GPS coordinates for the southerly and northerly end stakes.Further,after said hedge has been installed,the hedge shall be trimmed/maintained no later than within the first week (seven calendar days)ofeach month to ensure that the'height and length of the hedge does not exceed the approved height and length as represented by the stakes.Ifat any time,upon investigation by City Staff,it appears that the stakes have been altered so that it affects their height and/or length,then at the request ofthe City,and subject to the review and approval by the Community Development Director,the Applicant shall re-survey and re-certifY the height of the stakes and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that they represent the maximum permitted height and/or length of the hedge.If the Applicant does not maintain the hedge at or below its maximum height and length according to this condition,and if the Applicant fails to take corrective action to come into compliance with this condition within 30 days following notification by the Community Development Director,the City and/or its landscape maintenance contractor shall be permitted and is authorized by the property owner to access the property and remove the hedge.All costs associated with the City's removal of said hedge shall be paid by the property owner to the City within 30 days of the property owner receiving an invoice for said costs.FurtheFmel'e,pl'iel'te the instaYatien 9jan)'New Zealand Chl'istmas Tree hedge at the western edge 9jthe Driving Range pel'the City Ceuncil's afJPfflval en January 17,2()12, the Applicant shall ebtain appffl"'flljfflm the Ca!ifernia Ceastal Cemmissien Iel'said hedge species te be lecated en the Driving Range. Section 4:For the forgoing reasons,and based on information and findings contained in the public record,including the staff reports,minutes,records of proceedings,and evidence presented at the public hearings,the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby conditionally approves Revision "CCC"to Conditional Use Permit No.163,with associated conditions of approval that are attached in Exhibit "A",which are necessary to protect the public health,safety and general welfare.All other conditions of approval that have been imposed on this project shall remain in effect and are incorporated herein. Section 5:The time within which the judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution,if available,must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other applicable short period of limitations.

We make the request on the grounds that we are diligently working with Coastal Commission to process an application which contains a request for approval of the hedge addressed in Revision ZZ.However,due to the complexity of the application, which includes several issues in addition to the planting of hedges,our application with Coastal Commission has been delayed and will likely continue to take a significant amount of time before the Commission will make a final determination on the application.The delay in such application is further complicated by Coastal Commission's budgetary constraints.In anticipation of several high-profile guests at the Club in the coming weeks and months it is our goal to showcase our practice One Ocean Trails Drive,Rancho Palos Verdes,California 90275 •tel:310 2655000 fax:310 2655522 www.trumpgolfcom1-43 facility as well as the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in the best light possible.The hedges as approved in Revision ZZ,are an important and critical "piece of the puzzle"in achieving this goal. We fully intend to continue to pursue our application with Coastal Commission and understand the removal of the condition by the City does not impact Coastal Commission's jurisdiction on this issue.

The sentence change requested seems to us to be an oxymoron.The hedge that the city council approved on January 17,2012 will block views from the public when they use the public trials and public roadside. Further it implies that the California Coastal Commission will not have the final say in approving /not approving the view blocking hedge or the current temporary Trump Driving Range. We urge you to vote down this revision "CCC"proposa1. Thank you.
