ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Item 38. Description of project site.
The project site is a large 2.1 acre hillside parcel that contains a residence, detached
garage and pool on a flat pad. There is also an existing sand covered pad on the
hillside 15 feet below the residence that is relatively flat. The existing residence is
located near the south side of the property. Native brush grows on the steep slope
at the rear of the lot. Landscaped lawns, shrubs and trees surround the existing
residence, with native plants, grasses, shrubs, and trees beyond the residential area.
Native birds and animals frequent the area such as sparrows, crows, raccoons,
possum, skunks, gophers and an occasional fox.

Page 2
Item 39. Description of surrounding properties.
The site is located within a one unit per 2-acre designation and is surrounded by
similar development of the one-story ranch style with agricultural outbuildings. As
described in Paragraph 38, native birds and animals frequent the area.
000
The following analysis is a description of the findings contained in the
Environmental Information and Checklist Form which preceded this page. A
detailed discussion of all potential environmental impacts checked "Yes" or "Maybe"
is provided, along with appropriate mitigation measures.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Item 40. Earth.
a-d. Although approval of the project will not result in unstable earth conditions
or in changes in geologic substructures, it should be noted that portions of the
City exhibit unstable earth conditions, including active landslides and soil
creep. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes a Landslide
Hazard Overlay to carefully regulate development in unstable areas. This
property is not within a mapped active landslide area. Grading, excessive
irrigation, and/or increased septic tank discharge in unstable areas may trigger
additional slope failure. Because the City is located in seismically active
southern California, additional development will be exposed to potential
groundshaking in the event of an earthquake. The Palos Verdes fault,
considered potentially active, is located approximately one mile northeast of
the City.
Although approval of the project will result in disruptions, displacements,
compaction, or overcovering of the soil during future construction, these will
occur in order to prepare a hard -surfaced area to be used for recreational
purposes. Any displacement and recompaction of the soil will be required to
conform with local ordinances and engineering practices requiring balanced
cut and fill and should not cause a significant environmental impact.
e-g. Also, during future construction, there will be removal of natural vegetative
cover and sand surface, potentially causing an increase in soil erosion by wind
action or storm runoff. This reduction of vegetative cover and porous sand
surface and the increased runoff associated with development of a hard -
surfaced area to be used for recreational purposes may cause a slight increase
in the soil deposition, siltation, or erosion in or near the ocean. As
development is limited to a residential addition of 387 square feet and a
Page 3
5,361 square foot hard -surfaced area to be used for recreational purposes,
related erosion impacts will be less than significant.
Item 41. Air
a-c. The proposed project will not increase residential development. While the
development will generate slight increases in vehicle trips and objectionable
odors during construction, the resultant impact on air quality will be less than
significant.
Item 42. Water
a. Future development of a bedroom addition and a hard -surfaced area to be
used for recreational purposes on the 2.1 acre parcel will not alter fresh or
marine water currents.
b. The proposed project may alter drainage patterns, increase runoff and reduce
water absorption by the placement of structures, the introduction of
impervious surface materials and irrigation systems. However, due to the
nominal increase in development proposed and permitted by the General
Plan, the impacts are not expected to be substantial.
c. No major floodplains exist in the City. Flood waters generally flow through
the canyon areas. The General Plan does not permit development in the
canyons, and so changes in the course or flow of floodwaters is not anticipated.
d. No water bodies are located in the project area. Future development in the
project area is not expected to result in change in the amount of any water
bodies located in the vicinity.
1•
No major floodplains exist in the City, and development is not permitted in
the canyon areas most likely to be affected by flooding. No open bodies of
water occur within the City, thus no such hazard exists. The project is located
high enough and far enough away from the ocean that tsunami hazards do
not exist.
Some additional discharge into surface waters downstream may occur due to
sheet water flow from the proposed hard -surfaced area to be used for
recreational purposes.
Item 43. Plant Life
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.
• • •
Page 4
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.
Item 45. Noise
a. Future development of a bedroom addition will be less than significant.
Future development of a hard -surfaced area to be used for recreational
purposes may cause an increase in existing noise levels as children and/or
adults play ball, skate, and engage in recreational activities on the surface.
b. Future development of a hard -surfaced area to be used for recreational
purposes will not expose people to severe noise levels.
Item 44. Animal Life
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. Large lot, estate density development along with a bedroom addition, and a
hard -surfaced area to be used for recreational purposes for this project
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 where its habitat is being restored. Several other animals do occur,
however, that are considered as candidates for protection by 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 adjacent 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 proposed future development of a bedroom
addition and a hard -surfaced area to be used for recreational purposes will be
less than significant.
Item 46. Light and Glare
Residential building materials are carefully regulated by Zoning Ordinance and the
Community Association. Buildings are limited to one story in height. Light and glare
impacts therefore are expected to be less than significant.
Page 5
Item 52. Transportation/Circulation
a. The incremental increase of a bedroom addition and a hard -surfaced area to be
used for recreational purposes will not generate more daily vehicle trips. This
is considered less than significant.
Item 59. Cultural Resources
a. While prior tilling and dry farming disrupted potential remains, the applicant
does not propose to do any grading.
00
On the basis of this initial evaluation: (check one)
■ I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
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 the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A
NEGATIVE DECLARATION has been prepared.
I find the project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of the CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS ("City") and by private deed restrictions enforced by the ROLLING
HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION ("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are completely
independent and separate. Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and
the RHCA to develop property in Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the
RHCA does not mean or imply or ensure approval by the other.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the, above statement has been fully read and its
admonition is completely understood.
