WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 24,
2026, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: In support of the requested CUP Revision, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings:
A. The size of the project site is sufficient to continue the operations of the proposed
use, as the number of beds is within the amount approved under CUP No. 41
and the additions and ancillary site improvements are intended to improve the
existing use for the residents. The project site is adequate in size to
accommodate the proposed additions and ancillary site improvements. As the
proposed additions and ancillary site improvements are well integrated into the
existing location of the retirement facility, and meet the height, setback,
fence/wall and landscape requirements.
B. The site relates to streets and highways sufficient to carry the type and quantity
of traffic generated by the existing use of a retirement facility. As identified in the
City's General Plan Circulation Element, the property is served by Crestridge
Road which functions as a collector street between Crest Road and Highridge
Road. Crestridge Road will continue to serve the property. The project will not
alter the nature of traffic generated by the lot as compared to the originally-
approved retirement facility.
C. The project site is located adjacent to Institutional Uses to the east and west,
single-family residences located to the south (across Crestridge Road), and
g Y g
residential units within Rolling Hills Estates City boundary to the north. The
proposed improvements, include 20,418 ft2 of addition areas and ancillary site
improvements throughout the project site. An evaluation of potential effects
related to view impairment, aesthetics and noise was conducted and determined
that the improvements would not significantly impair protected views from
surrounding properties due to differences in elevation and location of the
proposed additions, and the new Mediterranean themed facades will integrate
with the driveway enhancements, entry gate features, and landscape to provide a
frontage that is aesthetically consistent with other properties along Crestridge
Road. While there are components being added to the project, such as a
resident-only pet amenity, meditation garden and outdoor dining areas, the hours
of operation will remail consistent with the existing operational hours and will not
adversely impact surrounding properties.
P C Resolution No 2026-04
Page 3 of 15
01203 0005 2096918 1
D. The Urban Environment Element of the General Plan states, 'it is the goal of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes to preserve and enhance the community's quality
living environment; to enhance the visual character and physical quality of
existing neighborhoods'. The proposed project is an upgrade to an existing
facility, enhancing the visual character and physical quality of the immediate
neighborhoods while providing better accessibility and amenities to existing
residents.
E. Conditions regarding any of the requirements listed above which the Planning
Commission finds to be necessary to protect the health, safety and general
welfare, have been imposed in the attached Exhibit "A."
Section 2: The Planning Commission finds that the approval of a Variance is
warranted because:
A. There are exceptional circumstances and conditions applicable to the property
involved and the intended use of the property, which do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zoning. The project site has a zoning designation of
both Institutional (I) and Open Space Hazard (OH). The portion of the project site
that is zoned OH is vacant and located along the north and east property lines
with extreme slope conditions (35% or greater in steepness). This area of the
project site would not be able to be developed, so as to provide the required
parking spaces, as the purpose of the OH Zoning District is to generally provide
for limited recreational uses without the development of permanent structures.
The project site is also bounded by existing developed land uses to the east and
west as well as the City's boundary with the City of Rolling Hills Estates to the
north; whereby further development into these areas would be limited.
In addition, an exceptional circumstance applicable to the use of the property
exists that does not apply generally to other properties in the immediate area.
More specifically, a strict interpretation of the City's nonresidential parking space
standards does not account for the unique needs of the aging resident population
and customized services provided by the Canterbury facility to its residents.
B. Although the overall number of parking spaces are being reduced from 135
parking spaces to 129 parking spaces, the number of usable parking spaces will
actually increase as a result of the demolition of the garage spaces, allowing
more usable parking spaces for the residents, their visitors and Canterbury staff.
Additionally, that by replacing the garages to more usable surface parking is
necessary, and the reduction in overall site parking from 135 spaces to 129
parking spaces will preserve the enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
applicant, residents that reside at Canterbury and its staff, which is a right that is
possessed by other property owners under like conditions in the same zoning
p p Y
district.
C. The reduction in the required number of on-site parking spaces from 135 to 129
will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property and
P C Resolution No 2026-04
Page 4 of 15
01203 0005 2096918 1
improvements in the area. The updated parking areas throughout the project site
will not revise existing on-site vehicular circulation patterns or reduce drive aisle
configurations. In addition, the design of existing and proposed parking spaces,
which includes 38 new compact parking spaces, will be in compliance with code
required striping and dimensions. Furthermore, the updated parking areas will
also be improved with a total of 8 new ADA accessible parking spaces, which
includes one ADA van accessible space in the immediate area of the new porte-
cochere and facility entry.
D. The Urban Environment Element of the General Plan states, 'it is the goal of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes to preserve and enhance the community's quality
living environment; to enhance the visual character and physical quality of
existing neighborhoods'. The removal of on-site parking spaces allows for
upgrades to the existing project site that enhances the quality of life for residents,
visitors and staff members at the Canterbury facility via expanded dining and
recreational areas. In addition, the proposed project will augment connectivity
and accessibility throughout the project site through the construction of new
interior and exterior walkways and corridors. The project site is not within the
coastal specific plan and thus its requirements do not apply.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the approval of a Major
Grading Permit is warranted because:
A. Based on the underlying Institutional (I) zoning district, the primary use of the
project site is a retirement community with ancillary uses and improvements that
support the primary use. The proposed grading does not exceed that which is
necessary for the permitted use of the lot as the grading will accommodate and
support the expansion of the existing use of the retirement community.
B. The grading does not present adverse visual impacts from the viewing area of
neighboring properties. The grading naturally blends into the project site and in
the areas of the proposed addition, proposes to conduct mostly cuts, therefore
the project additions would result in a lower finished grade under the building
footprint. Proposed grading will also create a more level and uniform grade to
support accessibility throughout the project site. Additionally, the residential
properties located to the south of the project site, along Mistridge Drive, are
located approximately 50 feet higher in elevation than the project site; and views
observed from these properties, which consist of city lights and distant
mountains, will continue to be observed over the proposed addition areas.
C. The scope of work will maintain aportion of the natural contours on the project
p
site above and below the proposed graded areas. The existing contours beyond
the project scope will not be altered and the finished contours will blend in to
appear reasonably natural
D. The existing contours beyond the proposed grading will mostly be preserved with
the finished contours of the site by blending in with the preexisting topographic
patterns within the area.
P C Resolution No 2026-04
Page 5 of 15
01203 0005 2096918 1
E. The purpose of grading is to allow reasonable development of land while
preserving the natural scenic character of the area to the greatest extent feasible
and ensuring consistency with the goals and policies of the General Plan and
applicable plans. Due to the topographical conditions on the project site, the
proposed upslope and downslope retaining walls support improvements
throughout the project site. Given the unique topography of the project site, the
proposed deviations are necessary to facilitate reasonable development
consistent with the intent of the grading regulations. The project is required to
comply with all applicable Building Code requirements, obtain approval from the
City's geotechnical consultant, and complete all required inspections, and is
subject to Conditions of Approval to ensure compliance with applicable
development standards.
Section 4: The Planning Commission finds that the approval of a Sign Permit
is warranted because the relocation of the proposed wall signage will continue to meet
sign area, height, distance from grade development standards as outlined in RPVMC §
17.75.090. Additionally, the proposed freestanding monument sign relocation will
comply with required development standards, including but not limited to, size and
location, as outlined in RPVMC § 17.75.140 (B).
Section 5: The Planning Commission finds that the approval of a Major Site
Plan Review Permit is warranted as the ancillary site improvements meet all the
Municipal Code requirements including, but not limited to, setbacks and accessory
structure height in the Institutional zoning district.
Section 6: CEQA Compliance. The Planning Commission determines the
project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to
Section 15332 (Class 32 Categorical Exemption) of the California Guidelines for
Implementation of the CEQA ("CEQA Guidelines") and that none of the exceptions to
the use of this exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply to the
project and, specifically, that the Project does not present any unusual circumstances.
Section 7: Any interested person aggrieved by this decision or any portion of
this decision may appeal to the City nil. The appeal pp Council. T e shall set forth the grounds for
appeal and any specific action being requested by the appellant. Any appeal letter must
be filed within fifteen (15) calendar da s of the date of this orb 5:30 PM on
Y decision, by
Wednesday, March 11, 2026. A $3,193.00 appeal fee must accompany any appeal
letter. If no appeal is filed timely, the Planning Commission's decision will be final at
5:30 PM on March 11, 2026
Section 8: 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 conditionally
approves a Conditional Use Permit Revision, Variance, Major Grading Permit, Sign
Permit and Major Site Plan Review the construction of 20,418 ft2 of addition areas
throughout the project site and ancillary site improvements, 1,657 yd3 of grading and
