NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The above recitals are hereby incorporated into this Resolution as set forth
herein.
Section 2: That the approved project consists of the following:
11 Nantasket Drive (Lot No. 1)
• Increase of the total structure height by 1'from 24.1'to 25.1', by reducing the pad elevation
from 156' to 155' and not changing the approved maximum ridgeline elevation of 180.1';
• Increase of the allowed grading from 340yd3 cut to 735yd3 cut to accommodate the
lowered pad elevation; and,
• Increase of the lot coverage from 35% to 37% to accommodate an increased
balcony/loggia footprint and new exterior stairs.
21 Nantasket Drive (Lot No. 2)
• Increase of the total structure height by 1', from 24.1' to 25.1', by reducing the pad
elevation from 141.3' to 140.3' and not changing the approved maximum ridgeline
elevation of 165.4';
• Increase of the allowed grading from 793yd3 cut to 1,343yd3 of cut to accommodate the
lowered pad elevation; and,
• Increase of the lot coverage from 32.5%to 36%, resulting from an enlarged balcony/loggia
and new stairs.
Section 3: The Major Grading Permit is amended because the City Council finds that
the project meets the following criteria as set forth in Section 17.76.040(E) of the Municipal Code:
1. The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted primary use
of the lot;
2. The proposed grading and/or related construction does not significantly adversely
affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from the viewing area of
neighboring properties;
3. The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours and
finished contours are reasonably natural;
4. The grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic features and
appearances by means of land sculpturing so as to blend any man-made or
manufactured slope into the natural topography;
5. For new single-family residences, the grading and/or related construction is
compatible with the immediate neighborhood character;
6. In new residential tracts, the grading includes provisions for the preservation and
introduction of plant materials so as to protect slopes from soil erosion and
slippage and minimize the visual effects of grading and construction on hillside
areas;
Resolution No. 2018-32
Page 2 of 5
7. The grading utilizes street designs and improvements which serve to minimize
grading alternatives and harmonize with the natural contours and character of the
hillside;
8. The grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of the natural
landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation; and,
9. The grading conforms to the following standards: grading on slopes over 35%
steepness will not threaten public health, safety, and welfare; maximum 35%
finished slopes; 5' maximum depth of fill; retaining wall heights, and maximum 20%
for driveway slopes and 67% slopes adjacent to driveway.
The approved revision to lower the pad elevations by 1' results in an additional 395yd3 of cut
for 11 Nantasket Drive (Lot No.1) and an additional 550yd3 of cut for 21 Nantasket Drive (Lot
No. 2), for a total of 945yd3 of additional cut to the originally-approved 4,028yd3 of grading.
Although the grading quantity is proposed to increase, the additional grading does not exceed
that which is necessary for the primary permitted use for the RS-3 zoning district, which
supports the construction of single-family residences.
The original approved lot design will not change, in that the approved building pads will
continue to step down the slope in the same direction as the existing slope, thereby minimizing
disturbance to the natural contours and blending any man-made or manufactured slope into
the natural topography. The additional grading does not constitute a granting of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other neighboring properties, as many other
properties in the City, especially in the surrounding neighborhood, are terraced and have
similar grading to allow for split-level homes to be notched into existing slopes.
In terms of neighborhood compatibility, the increased grading will not alter the architectural
style of the two homes originally approved by the City Council. The architectural materials will
continue to consist of smooth stucco finishes, stone and wood details, and hip-pitched roofs
with clay tile roof materials. As split-level structures, the two-story portion of the façades will
continue to only be visible at the rear (west) elevations, which face the Terranea Resort, and
left side elevations, which face the adjacent properties to the south. Furthermore, the 1'
increase in overall structure height will be negligible, due to the incorporation of a variety of
design elements, including garden walls that enhance the articulation of the facade and further
minimize bulk and mass, as viewed from the street.
Section 4: The Coastal Development Permit is amended based on the following
findings:
A. The project is consistent with the Coastal Specific Plan. More specifically, the
project is consistent with the following applicable amended policies of Subregion
2 of the City's Coastal Specific Plan:
1. Ensure that impacts such as noise, outdoor lighting, etc., are mitigated at the
point of origin.
The conditions of approval address potential impacts to neighboring properties specific
to noise and outdoor lighting. Future improvements will require a Coastal Development
Permit to be processed along with the required Site Plan Review application, and
appropriate conditions will be added at that time to ensure such adverse impacts are
Resolution No. 2018-32
Page 3 of 5
mitigated, such as limiting noise generated by mechanical equipment not to 65 dBA at
the property line and regulating the wattage and the direction of outdoor lighting in
accordance to Section 17.56.030 of the Municipal Code.A lighting plan will be required
to be approved prior to building permit final.
2. Change the primary land use on the 1.42 acre site, which was subdivided from
the former Abalone cove school site, located on the west side of Nantasket Drive
adjacent to the Terranea Hotel Resort site from agriculture to residential.Parcels
adjacent to the natural habitat areas created as mitigation for development of
the Terranea Resort Hotel including the residential parcels along Nantasket
Drive to the east shall be required to use only non-invasive plant species, as
identified by the California invasive pest council (cal-IPC) or the Santa Monica
Mountains Chapter handbook entitled Recommended List of Native Plants for
Landscaping in the Santa Monica Mountains. In addition, all landscaping shall
be required to consist of primarily native, drought resistant species and all
landscaping within 15 feet of the rear property line adjacent to the natural habitat
area shall consist of noninvasive, native plant species only. Fuel modification
for parcels adjacent to the Terranea Resort Hotel shall not be carried out in
native habitat zones created as a part of the Terranea Resort."
Prior to the issuance of building permits, a proposed landscape plan will be approved
by the City's landscape consultant to ensure compliance with this policy and the
project's original Conditions of Approval. Prior to building permit issuance, the City-
approved landscaping will be installed and is conditioned to be maintained in
perpetuity by the property owner.
3. The sidewalk along Nantasket Drive, which connects to the Flowerfield trail on
the Terranea Resort site shall remain open to the public and no physical
obstructions such as gates or guardhouses or signs that restrict public access
to the trail shall be allowed on or fronting Nantasket Drive."
The proposed residences do not include any physical obstructions to the sidewalk
along Nantasket Drive, and any future proposed ancillary improvements will not be
allowed to obstruct the trail.
B. The proposed development, when located between the sea and the first public
road, is consistent with applicable public access and recreation policies of the
Coastal Act.
The lowered building pads do not impact the public's access to the sea, as there are no
trails or public access across the properties at 11 and 21 Nantasket Drive, and no
obstructions are proposed within the sidewalk or public street along Nantasket Drive,
which connects to the Flowerfield Trail on the Terranea Resort site. The proposed
revisions also do not impact any of the recreational marine activities in Subregion 2.
Section 5: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage, approval, and adoption of this
Resolution, and shall cause this Resolution and her certification to be entered in the Book of
Resolutions of the City Council.
Resolution No. 2018-32
Page 4 of 5
Section 6: 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 or other applicable short periods of limitation. A Final Notice of Decision will be mailed
out to all interested parties and the Coastal Commission within seven days of the City Council's
decision on this application. An appeal of the City Council's Decision may then be filed by an
applicant, any aggrieved person or any two members of the Coastal Commission within 10
working days following the receipt of the Final Notice by the Coastal Commission. If no appeal is
filed to the Coastal Commission, the decision shall become final.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 5th day of June 2018.
