X
•
ZONING,CASE NO. 561

970626'78
• •
The sports court development will not alter fresh or marine water currents.
b . Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate
and amount of surface water runoff? _ _ X
The sports court may alter drainage patterns, increase surface runoff and reduce water
absorption bv the placement of a concrete sports court and the introduction of impervious
surface materials and irrigation systems. The impacts are not expected to be substantial.
c. Alterations to the course or flow of flood waters? _ _ X
No maior floodplains exist in the City. Flood waters generally flow through the canyon
areas. The sports court was constructed on a relatively flat area above the bottom of the
canyon that exists on this hillside lot. Changes in the course or flow of floodwaters is not
anticipated.
d. Change in the amount of surface water in any water body? _ X
No water bodies are'located in the project area. The sports court is not expected to result in,
change in the amount of surface water of any water bodies located in the vicinity.,
e. Discharge into surface waters, or in any alteration of
surface water quality, including but not limited to
temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity?
X
f. Alteration of the direction or rate of flow of ground waters? _ _ X
g•
Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through
direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception
of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? _ _ X
h. Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise
available for public water supplies? _ _ X

hazard exists. The sports court is located high enough and far enough away from the ocean that
tsunami hazards do not exist.
43. Plant Life. Will the proposal result in:
a. Change in the diversity of species, or number of any species
of plants (including tress, shrubs, grass, crops, microflora
and aquatic plants)?
ZONING CASE NO. 561
PAGES
X
9'70626'78
b . Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered
species of plants?
c. Introduction of new species of plants into an area, or in a
barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species?
d. Reduction in acreage of any agricultural crop?
YES MAYBE NO
X
X
X
a-d. Any additional development within the City will reduce the amount of native vegetation which
will be replaced. in some instances. by non-native species. But, due to the limited growth
proposed. this impact will be less than significant. In addition, the General Plan and Zoning
Code set forth policies which encourage the retention and use of native drought tolerant
vegetation in landscaping. No known rare and endangered species of plants exist in the City.,
44. Animal Life. Will the proposal result in:
a. Change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species
or numbers of any species of animals (birds, land animals
including reptiles, fish and shellfish, benthic organisms,
insects or microfauna)? — X
b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered
species of animals? — X
c . Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or result
in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals? _ X•
d. Deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat? _ X
a. As further development occurs in Rolling Hills, the natural habitat of the area will be slightly
reduced. But. the impact of the current proposal is expected to be less than significant.
b. A previously constructed 2,170 sauare foot sports court and proposed 8 foot block wall at the,
north end of the sports court for this large residential lot provides the opportunity to retain,
substantial amounts of existing habitat. The only animal listed by the Federal Government is
the Palos Verdes Blue. a butterfly which had not been seen in the Rolling. Hills area since May,
1986. In 1994. the Palos Verdes Blue was seen at the nearby San Pedro Fuel Depot Station.
Several other animals do occur. however, that are considered as candidates for protection bv,
either the Federal Government or the State Government. Recently. the California gnatcatcher
was added to the list of endangered species and, in a recent census, pairs were located in the,
adiacent City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Other target species for the Rancho Palos Verdes,
Peninsula Area that are being studied by the State of California Department of Fish and Game
are the Cactus Wren and the Coast Horned Lizard. The impact of the sports court at an existing
single family residence will be less than significant.,
45. Noise. Will the proposal result in:
a. Increases in existing noise levels? _ X
The intermittent use of a previously constructed 2,170 square foot sports court and proposed 8
foot block wall at the north end of the sports court will introduce increased noise levels but not,

a. Increase in the rate of use of any natural resources? _ X
b. Substantial depletion of any nonrenewable natural resource? _ X

radiation) in the event of an accident or upset conditions? _ _ X
b. Possible interference with an emergency response plan or an
emergency evacuation plan? _ _ X

scenic vista or view open to the public, or will the proposal
result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to
public view?
58. Recreation. Will the proposal result in an impact upon the
quality or quantity of existing recreational opportunities?
59. Cultural Resources.

c. Does the proposal have the potential to cause a physical
change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values?
d. Will the proposal restrict existing religious or sacred
uses within the potential impact area?
60. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of
the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish
or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to
drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history
or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to
the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-
term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term
impacts will endure well into the future.)
Does the project have impacts which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable? (A project may affect two or
more separate resources where the impact is relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the
environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effect on human beings, either directly
or indirectly?
