CC RES 2020-008 RESOLUTION NO. 2020-08
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA, REMOVING
THE NAME "SHORELINE PARK" FROM A PORTION OF
THE OCEAN TRAILS RESERVE PROPERTY, AND
NAMING THE BEACH BELOW THE OCEAN TRAILS
RESERVE "OCEAN TRAILS BEACH."
WHEREAS, in 1997 Los Angeles County conveyed 50.7-acre Shoreline Park
(APN 7564-019-900)to the City with the condition that a 20-acre portion of the property
be deed-restricted with a conservation easement held by the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife as a condition of approval placed on the then-adjacent Ocean Trails
development (currently known as Trump National Golf Club) to provide required
environmental mitigation to offset the project's impacts to biological resources; and,
WHEREAS, in 2004, 49.7 acres of Shoreline Park were enrolled in the City's Palos
Verdes Nature Preserve (Preserve) as part of the City Council-approved Natural
Community Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP/HCP); and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the NCCP/HCP, Shoreline Park falls under the
jurisdictional boundary of the Ocean Trails Reserve, but if the Shoreline Park name is
retained for this property, it would be inconsistent with the NCCP/HCP and may introduce
confusion to the managers and users of this open space property; and,
WHEREAS, Shoreline Park is designated Open Space Preserve in the City's
updated 2018 General Plan, rather than being designated for passive or active
recreational use, and referring to the property as a "park" may give members of the public
the impression that active recreational use is permitted, which is contrary to the land use
designation for this property; and,
WHEREAS, 1 acre of the 50.7-acre Shoreline Park (APN 7564-019-900) is a
rocky beach that was not enrolled in the Preserve because it lacks suitable potential for
habitat, and was never assigned an official name, and the beach area within APN 7564-
020-902 directly north of APN 7564-019-900 was not given a name, and providing a name
for this beach area will assist the City in its management of the area; and,
WHEREAS, the names "Ocean Trails Reserve" and "Ocean Trails Beach" are
consistent with City Council Policy No. 37 (Naming of Public Facilities and Placing of
Monuments and Other Memorials) in that the names provide an easy and
recognizable reference for the City's residents and visitors, and that they are based
on a geographic and topographic locations of the properties.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The 49.7-acre property (APN 7564-019-900) located within the
easterly portion of Ocean Trails Reserve will no longer bear the name "Shoreline
Park," as more particularly shown on Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference, and it will retain only the name "Ocean Trails Reserve."
Section 2: The beach below Ocean Trails Reserve from the City's border
with Los Angeles to the City's Rancho Palos Verdes Beach, (beach areas within APN
7564-019-900 and 7564-020-902) as more particularly shown on Exhibit "A", attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference, are hereafter named "Ocean Trails
Beach."
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED on this 17th day of March 2020.
