Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use/Planning Mineral Resources • Noise - Population/Housing Public Services i1 Recreation Transportation/Traffic Utilities/Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X I find that,although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a"potentially significant impact"or"potentially significant unless mitigated"impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and 2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required but must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that. although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects, (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION,including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed on the proposed project. nothing further is required Signature: Date December 12, 2017 Printed Name' So Kim, Deputy Director/Ping Manager For' City of Rancho Palos Verdes Page 4 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact I. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial effect on a scenic 1 X vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources. including, but not limited to. trees, rock 1 X outcroppings, and historical buildings. within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its 1. 9 X surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect 9 X day or nighttime views in the area? Comments: a) The proposed project area does not fall within any scenic vista identified in the City's General Plan. Therefore.there would be no impact caused by the proposed project. b) The existing residential development at 5500 PVDS is better known as the Harden Estate.which is identified as a historical resource in the City. It is the oldest remaining structures in the City,designed by architect Gordon Kaufmann and the landscape by Frederick Olmstead. The proposed project will not impact or alter the Harden Estate with exception to two separate areas below the building pad area along the south property line.The proposed grading area was previously altered without City approvals by the property owner to increase future parking areas.As a result of the past unpermitted grading, 21,780ft2 of protected habitat was impacted. With the mitigation measured recommended under the Biological Resources Sections of this Initial Study,the proposed project would cause less than significant impact. c) Unpermitted grading occurred in the past on portions of the private property and the City's Abalone Cove Reserve that degraded the aesthetic visual character by disturbing natural slopes and existing mature vegetation.The proposed project involves restoring the site contours by regrading and recontouring unpermitted graded slopes. The finished contours will not impact the visual character of the site or its surroundings as the grading occurs on descending slopes below the building pad area of the 5500 PVDS.Additionally,the unpermitted past grading area will be recompacted and excess fill will be exported off site.As such,the unsuitable fill existing on site will be removed and the proposed grading will re-stabilize the immediate area.The finished contours will be appear more natural and blend in with the surrounding contours By implementing and adhering to avoidance and minimization measures recommended under the Biological Resources and Hydrology Sections of this Initial Study. the proposed project would cause less than significant. d) The proposed project does not introduce new light sources that may affect day or nighttime views Therefore.there would be no impact caused by the proposed project. II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the 1. 2. 7 X Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resource Agency. to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act 1, 2. 7 X contract? Page 5 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code §12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code §4526). or 1. 2, 7 X timberland zoned Timberland Profduction (as defined by Government Code§51104(g))? d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest 1, 2, 7 X use? e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which,due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of 1 2 7 X Farmland. to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? Comments: a-e)The project site includes portions of a private property with an existing land use of single-family residential and City- owned property that is part of the Abalone Cove Preserve, a sub-area of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. Neither property is zoned for agriculture or forestry use.Additionally.the project site does not include any farmland,forest land, or timberland and therefore,not in conflict with the Williamson Act. Therefore,there would be no impact caused by the proposed project. III. AIR QUALITY. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation 3 X of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or 3 X projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal 3 X or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to 3 X substantial pollutant concentrations? Page 6 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact e) Create objectionable odors affecting a 1 2 X substantial number of people? Corn ments: a-d) The project area is located within the South Coast Air Basin,which is an area of non-attainment for Federal air quality standards for ozone (03), carbon monoxide (CO), and suspended particulate matter (PM' and PM=') The proposed movement of soil and the operation of construction equipment may have the potential to create short-term construction-related air quality impacts upon nearby sensitive receptors.such as single-family residences and federally and state protected species,such as the California gnatcatcher. Based upon the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD)guidelines for estimating air quality impacts from construction activities,the project area of less than 1-acre would not exceed Localized Significance Thresholds(LSTs)for nitrous oxides(NOx),CO.PM':'or PM='. With the incorporation of the following mitigation measures.the proposed project would cause less than significant impacts: AQ-1: During construction, including grading, excavating, and land clearing, storage piles and unpaved disturbed areas shall be continuously stabilized or covered when material is not being added to or removed from the pile. AQ-2: During construction, including grading. excavating. and land clearing, measures should be taken to prevent emitting dust and to minimize visible emissions from crossing the boundary line. AQ-3: During construction, including grading. excavating, and land clearing, construction vehicles leaving the site shall be cleaned to prevent dust, silt. mud,and dirt from being released or tracked off site. AQ-4: During construction, including grading. excavating, and land clearing, the Applicant shall be responsible for minimizing bulk material or other debris from being tracked onto the City's public roadways,and if tracked,the Applicant's contractor shall be responsible for cleaning up the impacted City's public roadways AQ-5: During construction, including grading. excavating, and land clearing. no trucks shall be allowed to transport excavated material off-site unless the trucks are maintained such that no spillage can occur from holes or other openings in cargo compartments, and loads are either covered with tarps, wetted and loaded such that the material does not touch the front. back, or sides of the cargo compartment at any point less than 6"from the top and that no point of the load extends above the top of the cargo compartment. AQ-6: Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance the Applicant shall demonstrate to the Director of Community Development's satisfaction that dust generated by grading activities shall comply with the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 403 and the City Municipal Code requirements that require regular watering for the control of dust. AQ-7: During construction, including grading,excavating, and land clearing, all excavating and grading activities shall cease when winds gusts (as instantaneous gusts)exceed 25 mph. To assure compliance with this measure. grading activities are subject to periodic inspections by City staff. AQ-8: During construction. including grading. excavating. and land clearing. construction equipment shall be kept in proper operating condition, including proper engine tuning and exhaust control systems e) The zoning of the subject lot does not permit industrial or commercial uses. Therefore,no objectionable odors are expected to be generated as a result of the proposed project. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect,either directly or through habitat modifications, 6, 7. 13. X on any species identified as a 14 candidate. sensitive. or special status Page 7 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact species in local or regional plans. policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U S Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on 6, 7. 13. any riparian habitat or other sensitive 14 natural community identified in local or regional plans. policies, or regulations, X or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on 6, 7. 13, federally protected wetlands.as defined 14 by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including. but not limited to. marsh. X vernal pool.coastal,etc),through direct removal,filling,hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the 6, 7, 13, movement of any native resident or 14 migratory fish or wildlife species or with X established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors. or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local polices or 6, 7. 13, ordinances protecting biological 14 X resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an 6. 7, 13, adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, 14 Natural Community Conservation Plan, X or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Comments: a. b.e,f)Portions of the project site within the Abalone Cove Reserve are within the designated Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) Subarea Plan Reserve Area, also known as a sub-area of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve (Preserve). The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC). the City's land manager for the Preserve,at the request of the City conducted field surveys and reviewed historical aerial imagery and determined that 0 5 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub(CSS)was impacted by the unpermitted grading Specifically,this disturbance includes 0 4 acres within the Abalone Cove Reserve and 0 1 acres on private property(5500 PVDS) This 0.5 acres of impact is considered significant. However.by implementing the guidelines in the NCCP Subarea Plan,as provided in Mitigation Measure BIO-1 below.the direct impacts to CSS would be compensated and therefore.considered less than significant. BIO-1 PRIOR TO BUILDING/GRADING PERMIT ISSUANCE vegetation previously impacted by the unpermitted grading and vegetation needed to be cleared for fuel modification shall be offset by the property owner using a 3:1 ratio for CSS.a 0 5 1 ratio for non-native grassland.and a 3.1 ratio for native grassland as described in the Council-adopted NCCP for loss occurring in an area greater than 0.3 acres by using one of the following two methods' 1) With the approval of the City, PVPLC, and the Wildlife Agencies, the property owner shall dedicate additional acreage to the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve that will add to the biological function of the Page 8 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Preserve and the property owner shall provide management funding for the additional acreage according to a Property Analysis Record or similar method,2)Revegetation of impacted habitat at the Abalone Cove Reserve and the payment of a mitigation fee to the City's Habitat Restoration Fund for the remaining mitigation, pursuant to the City's NCCP Subarea Plan, or 3) With the approval of the City, PVPLC, and the Wildlife Agencies,the property owner shall dedicate additional acreage to the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve that will add to the biological function of the Preserve and submit payment of a mitigation fee to the City's Habitat Restoration Fund for the remaining mitigation,pursuant to the City's NCCP Subarea Plan. lithe revegetation option is selected. the property shall prepare a Revegetation Plan for review and approval by the Director of Community Development. Wildlife Agencies, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy(PVPLC) shall be hired by the City, at the property owner's expense, to grow and plant the required vegetation. LSA Associates, Inc. also conducted a field survey and found that the proposed area to be regraded, which was previously disturbed by unpermitted grading.was comprised entirely of nonnative/ruderal vegetation and bare ground. While the proposed project areas may not contain any habitat, the PVPLC determined that some native habitat consisting of lemonade berry and mature Coastal Sage Scrub adjacent to the project areas may be impacted during grading and erosion control measures. However, by implementing and adhering to avoidance and minimization measures provided in Mitigation Measures BIO-2 through BIO-11 below,along with mitigation measured recommended under the Air Quality and Hydrology Sections of this Initial Study, indirect impacts to the surrounding sensitive natural community would be less than significant. BIO-2 Prior to commencing construction, the construction area shall be clearly delineated with fencing or other boundary markers.Temporary fencing(with silt barriers)shall be installed at the limits of Project impacts to prevent further habitat impacts and prevent the spread of silt from the construction zone into adjacent habitat areas(i.e.Altamira Canyon). Fencing shall be installed in a manner that does not affect adjacent habitats to be avoided and in compliance with Section 17.56.020(C)of the RPVMC. BIO-3 Prior to commencing construction, the Project limits shall be clearly marked on Project maps, deemed acceptable by the Director of Community Development.and provided to the construction contractor and areas outside of the Project limits shall be designated as"no construction'zones. BIO-4 During construction, construction workers shall strictly limit their activities, vehicles. equipment, and construction materials to the designated construction limits. BI0-5 During construction, all equipment maintenance, staging. and dispensing of fuel, oil, coolant, or any other such activities shall occur in designated areas within the fenced Project limits These designated areas shall be located in previously compacted and disturbed areas. in such a manner to prevent runoff into adjacent areas and shall be shown on the construction plans. Fueling of equipment shall take place on level surfaces and contractor equipment shall be checked daily for leaks prior to operation and repaired as necessary BIO-6 During construction,the construction work zone shall be kept as clean of debris as possible toavoid attracting predators of native and sensitive wildlife All food-related trash items shall be enclosed in sealed containers and removed daily from the construction work zone. BIO-7 In order to avoid unnecessary impacts to protected species.should any non-listed species be found within the property, they shall be avoided and allowed to leave the Project site on their own volition, or a qualified biologist shall relocate them outside of the Project site. BIO-8 Pets of Project personnel shall not be allowed on the Project site during construction. BIO-9 During construction,equipment for immediate cleanup shall be kept at the staging area.This plan shall also include erosion control measures to control surface runoff,erosion,and sedimentation outside of the project footprints. Page 9 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact BIO-10 A qualified biologist shall monitor construction during clearing. grubbing. and initial excavation activities, as needed. BIO-11 The clearance of vegetation and any construction shall occur outside of the nesting season (generally February 1 through September 1). If avoiding the nesting season is not practicable, the following additional measures shall be employed: • A pre-construction nesting survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 3 days prior to the start of construction activities to determine whether active nests are present within or directly adjacent to the construction zone.All nests found shall be recorded. • If construction activities must occur within 300 feet of an active nest of any passerine bird or within 500 feet of an active nest of any raptor,with the exception of an emergency, a qualified biologist shall monitor the nest on a weekly basis, and the construction activity shall be postponed until the biologist determines that the nest is no longer active. • If the recommended nest avoidance zone is not feasible, the qualified biologist shall determine whether an exception is possible and obtain concurrence from the resource agencies before construction work can resume within the avoidance buffer zone.All work shall cease within the avoidance buffer zone until either agency concurrence is obtained or the biologist determines that the adults and young are no longer reliant on the nest site. c) Altamira Canyon is an ephemeral stream that occurs along the northwestern perimeter of the subject site and receives protection under the Clean Water Act and California Fish and Game Code.The limits of ground disturbance as a result of the proposed project will over 100'away from the top of the stream bank.As a result,permits from regulatory agencies for impacts to waters pursuant to CWA Section 404,and waters of the State pursuant to CFGC Sections 1600- 1670 are not required d) The subject site represents a small area and is primarily composed of non-native species that are generally unsuitable to support wildlife movement. Additionally. indirect effects of construction on wildlife movement would be temporary in nature, restricted to the project construction time period. Furthermore, implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-2 through BIO-10 above would ensure impacts to a wildlife movement corridor are less than significant. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource 1 X as defined in§15064 5? b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological 1, 5 X resource pursuant to§15064 5'? c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or 1, 5 X unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal 1, 5 X cemeteries'? Comments: a) Harden Estate located at 5500 PVDS is identified as a major historical resource in the City's General Plan. The regrading is proposed to occur in an undeveloped portion of the subject property in order to recontour and stabilize the site. Therefore, there would be no impacts to the Harden Estate caused by the proposed project. Page 10 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact b-d) According to the City's Archaeology Map, the project area is identified as a probable area of archaeological resources. The General Plan describes that there are locations along the coastline where the Gabnelinos had established campsites for many years and also a few locations indicating trade centers For these reasons,the coastal area is generally considered as "archaeologically sensitive". While the proposed project is to recontour previously altered area,to ensure that the proposed project would cause less than significant impacts to cultural resources, the following mitigation measures will be incorporated: CUL-1 Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance, the Applicant shall consult with the South Central Coastal Information Center(SCCIC) regarding any known archaeological sites on or within a half-mile radius of the subject property. CUL-2 Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance.the Applicant shall conduct a Phase 1 archaeological survey of the property for approval by the Director of Community Development. CUL-3 Prior to the commencement of grading,the Applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist and archeologist to monitor grading and excavation. In the event undetected buried cultural resources are encountered during grading and excavation,work shall be halted or diverted from the resource area and the archeologist and/or paleontologist shall evaluate the remains and propose appropriate mitigation measures. VI.GEOLOGY/SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss. injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State 4 X Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? 4 X iii) Seismic-related ground failure, in- 4 X cluding liquefaction? iv) Landslides? 4 X b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the 4 X loss of topsoil? c) Be located on a geological unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and 4 X potentially result in on- or off-site landslide,lateral spreading.subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? d) Be located on expansive soil,as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building 4 X Code (1994), thus creating substantial risks to life or property? e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or 4, 7 X alternative waste water disposal Page 11 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? Comments: a c-d) On October 20.2016.the City Geologist reviewed the proposed project and required additional input during the Building&Safety plan check process. According to the Official Maps of Seismic Hazard Zones provided by the State of California Department of Conservation,the subject lot is located within an area that is potentially subject to earthquake- induced landslides.Cabrillo Fault dissects the City from the northwest border to the east and the Palos Verdes fault runs in the same direction, but outside of the City borders The project site is located at the southwestern edge of the City and there is no evidence of active faulting on the subject site.The soils of the Palos Verdes Peninsula are also generally known to be expansive and occasionally unstable.Given the known and presumed soils conditions in and around the subject site,it is expected that soil investigations,reviewed and approved by the City's geotechnical consultant,will be required prior to construction.With the incorporation of the following mitigation measures.the proposed project would cause less than significant impacts: GEO-1 Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance, the Applicant shall submit any information required by the City Geologist, including a soils report, and/or a geotechnical report, for the review and approval of the City Geologist. The Applicant shall comply with any requirements imposed by the City Geologist and shall substantially repair the geologic conditions to the satisfaction of the City Geologist. GEO-2 Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance.a Hold Harmless Agreement,satisfactory to the City Attorney, promising to defend. indemnify, and hold the City harmless from any claims or damages resulting from the requested project,shall be submitted to the Director of Community Development for recordation with the Los Angeles County Recorders Office. GEO-3 Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance, the Applicant shall submit for recordation a covenant, satisfactory to the City Attorney, agreeing to construct the project strictly in accordance with the approved plans: and agreeing to prohibit further projects on the subject site without first filing an application with the Planning Division of the Community Development Department. Such covenant shall be submitted to the Director of Community Development for recordation with the Los Angeles County Recorders Office prior to any grading permit issuance. b) It is the City's standard practice to require the preparation and implementation of an erosion control plan for wind- and waterborne soil for projects. With the incorporation of the following mitigation measures. the proposed project would cause less than significant impacts: GEO-4 Prior to the Building/Grading Permit issuance,the Applicant shall prepare an erosion control plan for the review and approval of the Building Official. The Applicant shall be responsible for continuous and effective implementation of the erosion control plan during project construction. e) The proposed project involves regrading over previously altered area for stabilization purposes and does not include new structures. Therefore. there will be no impacts. VII.GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may 16 X have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of 16 X reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Page 12 Environmental Checklist Case No. ZON2017-00115 Less Than Significant Potentially Impact with Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Significant Mitigation Significant No Sources Sources Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Comments: a-b) The United States Environmental Protection Agency explains that the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity production, transportation, industry, commercial/residential, agriculture. and land use and forestry.

INTRODUCTION PURPOSE This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) is to allow the following project at 5500 Palos Verdes Drive South and Abalone Cove Reserve in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes: Conduct 6.414yd3 of grading (3,604yd3 of cut and 2.810yd3 of fill) with 794yd3 of export to regrade the contours where unpermitted grading occurred over portions of a private property(5500 PVDS) and the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve property. The proposed grading will occur on both sides of the shared property line, disturbing approximately 32.100ft2 of total area. 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 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." Mitigation Monitoring Program Exhibit B - Page 2 Resolution No. 2017-45 II. MANAGEMENT OF THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The MMP for the project will be in place through all phases of the project including final design, pre-grading, construction, and operation.

RESOLUTION NO 2017-46 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING A MAJOR GRADING PERMIT AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR 6,414YD3 OF AFTER- THE-FACT GRADING WITH 794YD3 OF EXPORT TO REGRADE THE CONTOURS WHERE UNPERMITTED GRADING OCCURRED OVER THE 5500 PALOS VERDES DRIVE SOUTH PROPERTY AND THE CITY-OWNED ABALONE COVE RESERVE PROPERTY (CASE NO ZON2017-00115) WHEREAS, on May 13, 2015, dunng a site visit, City Staff found that grading and vegetation removal of sensitive habitat occurred without City approvals on the subject property at 5500 Palos Verdes Dnve South (PVDS) and portions of the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve property On the same day, the City's Code Enforcement Division sent a letter to the property owners informing them that the unpermitted activity must cease immediately and to contact City Staff to develop a plan to rectify the situation, and, WHEREAS, on May 16, 2015, the Code Enforcement Division observed continued unpermitted activity on the subject property and issued the property owners a stop work order, and, WHEREAS, on June 18, 2015, the Code Enforcement Division sent a letter to the property owners identifying specific actions to remedy the situation including submitting appropriate planning applications to regrade the contours and replant the vegetation Since then, the property owners have been working with the City to address the unpermitted work including the submittal of a property line survey and a geotechnical report, and, WHEREAS, on March 24, 2017, the property owners submitted an after-the-fact Grading Permit and Coastal Development Permit to conduct 6,414yd3 of grading with 794yd3 export to regrade the contours where unpermitted grading occurred over the subject property and the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve property, and, WHEREAS, on May 8, 2017, the application was deemed complete for processing, setting the action deadline to November 4, 2017, and, WHEREAS, on June 13, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public heanng and continued the matter to September 26, 2017 to address the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, and, WHEREAS, on October 24, 2017, the Applicant granted a one-time 90-day extension, setting the action deadline to February 2, 2018, and, WHEREAS, on November 16, 2017, notice of the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and the proposed After-the-fact Major Grading Permit and Coastal Development Permit was sent to all property owners within 500' of the subject site and appropnate public agencies for a comment penod exceeding 20-days, commencing on November 16, 2017 and concluding on December 12, 2017 Additionally, the notice was published on the same day in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News Staff did not receive any comments in response to the public notice, and, P C Resolution No 2017-46 Page 1 of 15 WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq, the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962 5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes adopted P C Resolution No 2017-45, determining there is no substantial evidence that the approval for the Major Grading Permit and Coastal Development Permit would result in a significant adverse effect on the environment, provided appropriate mitigation measures are imposed on the project, and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public heanng on December 12, 2017, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS Section 1 A Major Grading Permit is approved for 6,414yd3 of grading with 794yd3 export to regrade the contours where unpermitted grading occurred over the subject property and the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve property because A The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted pnmary use of the lot The pnmary use of the subject lot is residential and the City-owned lot is open space for preservation and passive recreational purposes The after-the-fact grading is to regrade the unpermitted disturbed areas over a portion of the rear yard of the 5500 PVDS property and the adjacent slopes on the City-owned Preserve property This grading is limited to the previously disturbed area with unpermitted fill prior to the Applicant's current ownership The City Geologist determined that the unpermitted fill areas are approximately 50' to 150' in width and range between approximately 2' and 25' in depth The previous unpermitted fill is not suitable to support additional fill material, structures or utility lines because of the lack of appropriate compaction Therefore, grading will include recompaction of the existing unpermitted fill for stabilization purposes and to recontour the area so that the finished contours blend in with the existing surrounding slopes As engineered, the proposed recompaction and recontoured slopes will further stabilize the condition of the site which would benefit the Applicant and the City B The grading does not significantly adversely affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from the viewing area of neighboring properties because the neighboring properties to the north is at least 15' lower than the street elevation and screened behind the existing residential and ancillary structures Neighbonng properties to the west and east are located at least 2,700' and 4,000' away from the nearest property lines and therefore, the proposed grading area will not be readily visible South of the proposed grading area is the larger Abalone Cove Reserve area and the ocean C The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours and finished contours are reasonably natural by ensuring the finished grades seamlessly blends with the surrounding slopes The finished contours will maintain a maximum of 2 1 slopes, which is consistent with the surrounding slopes P C Resolution No. 2017-46 Page 2 of 15 D 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 Manufactured slopes of 2 1 maximum will be created to blend in the proposed grading areas with the surrounding contours E The grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of the natural landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation The unpermitted grading resulted in the unauthorized removal of protected habitat from both the subject property and the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve property In October 2017, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy identified the area of habitat loss as measuring approximately 0 5 acres (0 1 acres on private and 0 4 acres on public property) Pursuant to the 2004 Council-adopted Draft NCCP, the following Mitigation Measure BIO-1 has been added to the attached Exhibit "A" to mitigate for the habitat loss BIO-1 Pnor to any grading or permit issuance, vegetation previously impacted by the unpermitted grading and vegetation needed to be cleared for fuel modification shall be offset by the property owner using a 3 1 ratio for CSS, a 0 5 1 ratio for non-native grassland, and a 3 1 ratio for native grassland as described in the Council-adopted NCCP for loss occurring in an area greater than 0 3 acres by using one of the following three methods 1) With the approval of the City, PVPLC, and the Wildlife Agencies, the property owner shall dedicate additional acreage to the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve that will add to the biological function of the Preserve and the property owner shall provide management funding for the additional acreage according to a Property Analysis Record or similar method, 2) Revegetation of impacted habitat at the Abalone Cove Reserve and the payment of a mitigation fee to the City's Habitat Restoration Fund for the remaining mitigation, pursuant to the City's NCCP Subarea Plan, or 3) With the approval of the City, PVPLC, and the Wildlife Agencies, the property owner shall dedicate additional acreage to the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve that will add to the biological function of the Preserve and submit payment of a mitigation fee to the City's Habitat Restoration Fund for the remaining mitigation, pursuant to the City's NCCP Subarea Plan If the revegetation option is selected, the property shall prepare a Revegetation Plan for review and approval by the Director of Community Development, Wildlife Agencies, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC) shall be hired by the City, at the property owner's expense, to grow and plant the required vegetation F The grading conforms to the grading standards for grading on slopes over 35% steepness and maximum depth of cut or fill The grading does not conform to the grading standards that limit the gradient of the maximum finished slopes to 35% steepness and grading on slopes over 50% steepness The proposed project is to rectify the unpermitted grading that resulted in unsuitable fill that may be prone to erosion, settlement and potential slope failure The grading involves recontounng the areas over 35% gradient and overexcavation in excess of 5' in depth to stabilize the area and create manufactured slopes around the boundary of the unpermitted grading area to blend it with the existing surrounding contours The proposed grading is therefore, consistent with the purposes of the Grading Permit to promote the public health, safety and general welfare as set forth in the Municipal Code While the proposed grading is not typically permitted for other properties in the vicinity, given the uniqueness of the matter and P C Resolution No 2017-46 Page 3 of 15 safety considerations, the proposed grading over 35% gradient and 5' in depth is necessary The City Geologist and the Building Official will be required to review and approve engineered grading plans prior to grading permit issuance and will be required to conduct inspections throughout the grading process Therefore, the proposed grading in excess of the maximum allowed gradient for finished slopes and over 50% steepness is warranted Section 2 A Coastal Permit is approved for the proposed project because A The proposed development is consistent with the Coastal Specific Plan The Coastal Specific Plan designation for the project site is Residential <1 Dwelling Unit/Acre (5500 PVDS) and Agriculture (City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve), located within an appealable portion of Subregion 5 of the Coastal Specific Plan (CSP) distnct The discussion of Subregion 5 in the CSP notes that the Harden Estate gatehouse is the only residential development in the Subregion, and that it "serves as an important component in the Peninsula's few remaining historical sites " This is reiterated in the Socio-Cultural Element of the CSP, which calls upon the City to "[consider] the implementation of appropriate measures to protect the identified cultural resources" in the City's coastal zone The CSP further describes the City-owned area to contain natural vegetation (Coastal Sage Scrub) The proposed project serves to protect a historical site (i e Harden Estate gatehouse) by stabilizing the surrounding slopes through the removal and recompaction of the unpermitted and unsuitable fill that was placed on the site over the years The property owners will then be required, as mitigation to the habitat loss caused by the unpermitted grading, to either dedicate additional acreage to the City's Nature Preserve or revegetate the impacted habitat and pay a mitigation fee The grading will stabilize the slopes on the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve further protecting the natural resources and passive recreational trails The proposed grading area will be limited to the previously graded area Also, the proposed grading area is not located within a visual corridor identified in the Corridors Element of the CSP and therefore, there will have no adverse effects upon a public view from Palos Verdes Dnve South 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 Although the project site is located seaward of the first public road (i e , Palos Verdes Drive South), it is limited in area and is partially surrounded by the Harden Estate and partially surrounded by Abalone Cove Shoreline Park and does not extend to the mean high-tide line As such, the property does not provide an opportunity for additional public access to coastal resources than what currently exists By contrast, the surrounding City Park and Preserve provide extensive and existing opportunities for public access to coastal resources in the form of improved trails, trailheads, public beach access and public off-street parking The grading will not impact any improved public trails, public beach access or parking However, an unauthonzed trail that leads from the 5500 PVDS property into the City-owned property will be closed and eventually revegetated with habitat Section 3 The proposed project complies with the purpose of the Urban Appearance Overlay Control District (OC-3), which is established to preserve, protect and maintain land and water areas, structures and other improvements which are of significant value because of them recreational, aesthetic and scenic qualities, preserve, protect and maintain significant views and vistas, ensure that site planning, grading, and landscape techniques will preserve, protect and enhance the visual character of the City, and preserve, protect and P C Resolution No 2017-46 Page 4 of 15 maintain significant views of and from slope areas within the community which charactenze the City's dominant land form The grading is designed in a manner that does not adversely impact views, vistas, or the existing visual character of the City The project is to regrade and stabilize the unsuitable fill areas as a result of unpermitted import Additionally, the grading is limited to the previously graded area, which will be recontoured to blend in with the remaining contours Lastly, the removed habitat as a result of unpermitted past grading will be revegetated in the City-owned Abalone Cove Reserve area Section 4 Any interested person aggneved by this decision or by any portion of this decision may appeal to the City Council Pursuant to Sections 17 02 040(C)(1)(g) of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in writing, setting forth the grounds of the appeal and any specific actions requested by the appellant, and accompanied by the appropriate appeal fee, no later than fifteen (15) days following December 12, 2017, the date of the Planning Commission's final action Section 5 For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included in the Staff Report, Minutes and other records of proceedings, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby adopts P C Resolution No 2017-46, approving the requested after-the-fact Major Grading Permit and Coastal Development
