RESOLUTION NO. 504 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 33871 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: The Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report does not identify any significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed access (generally known as the southerly access) to the subdivision. As is set' forth with greater specificity in the Report, the reasons why the access results in no signif.iciant impact are that the proposed street is fundamentally sound from a traffic. engineering viewpoint and estimated to carry a minimal traffic flow, resulting in an insignificant increase in the number of noise events in the vicinity. The Environmental Impact Report describes mitigation measures which, when incorporated in the project, will minimize the minor impacts created by the proposed access. These mitigation measures include: • S' iv.t9if: � Stv'..-:i::i.--�•:c- _u',j'li ..va... �� rrR-`^,= r F ... - _ • 'a Section 1. An application was duly filed by Chacksfield-Merit Homes with respect to real property described .in Exhibit A attached hereto, requesting approval of a tentative tract map for an eight lot single-family residential subdivision. Public hearings.were duly held on August 31 and December 13, 1982 in the Council Chambers, .,, City Hall, 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, California �. and a notice of the time, date, place and purpose of the aforesaid hearing was duly given. V V Section 2. Evidence, both written and oral, was duly presented to and considered by the City Council at the aforesaid public hearing. Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the Initial Study and Negative Declaration prepared for the project prior to making its decision thereon. The Council finds that the proposed map will not have a significant effect on the environment as indicated in the Initial Study and Negative Declaration. In addition, an Environmental Impact Report has been prepared in connection with the means of access to the subdivision proposed in the map by the applicant. The City Council hereby certifies that said final Environmental Impact Report was completed pursuant to the provisions and requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Guidelines thereto, and that the Council has reviewed and considered the contents of said Report prior to making its decision whether to approve the tentative tract. The Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report does not identify any significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed access (generally known as the southerly access) to the subdivision. As is set' forth with greater specificity in the Report, the reasons why the access results in no signif.iciant impact are that the proposed street is fundamentally sound from a traffic. engineering viewpoint and estimated to carry a minimal traffic flow, resulting in an insignificant increase in the number of noise events in the vicinity. The Environmental Impact Report describes mitigation measures which, when incorporated in the project, will minimize the minor impacts created by the proposed access. These mitigation measures include: • S' iv.t9if: � Stv'..-:i::i.--�•:c- _u',j'li ..va... �� rrR-`^,= r F ... - _ • 'a 1. Modification of connection to Johns Canyon Road to minimize the "semi -button hook" configuration now indicated on the plan. 2. Modification of the gradient of the roadway at Johns Canyon Road to provide a 50 foot landing with gradient of no more than two percent. 3. Maintain the trees and shrubbery adjacent to the roadway so as to ensure adequate sight distance from the access to the south. 4. Landscaping with an automatic or drip irrigation system is to be installed along the southerly boundary of the tract adjacent to the access roadway, and is to be completed or bonded for prior to recordation of the finale map. Said landscaping is to be maintained weed and disease. free by the property owner for a period of twenty four months from date of installation. The landscaping materials, gallonage and blossum coloring are to be approved by the. staff of the city of Rolling Hills upon consultation with a committee specializing in landscaping serving the Community . Association of Rolling Hills. This landscaping plan is intended for purposes of.screening adjacent residential uses by bulk and height. The City Council has considered alternative means of access to the proposed subdivision in connection with its.. review of the Environmental Impact Report. As is in in the Report, the access generally known as the "northerly access", as with the southerly access, will not result in a significant environmental impact. The Council determined to utilize the northerly access for an equestrian trail and to require the applicant to perform the necessary improvements for construction of the trail. The Crenshaw Boulevard alternative was rejected due to the potential safety hazards and the excessively steep grade identified in the Report. Section 4. The City Council finds, pursuant to Section 66474 of the California Government Code and Section 16.12.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, that: . 1. The proposed map which will permit the residential development of the subject property is consistent with the General Plan which designates said property for low density residential uses. The proposed access to the map is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan and utilizes an existing easement which was dedicated for purposes.of access to the site. 2. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision for residential uses is consistent with the General Plan which designates the subject property for low density residential uses. The proposed street improvements, building sites, grading, drainage improvements, utility system and overall physical layout meet city standards and Municipal Code requirements. 3. The site is physically suitable for the single- -2— L' 1 -_•-•-'.-�.. �R..c �,.. -: .�..-:.....5 .:...c _-«.�.....:_. -. :.� ,_.,:+.c.:....+ - -•-.1 �_u�S...ea.�ur.�.�v._�.a,....e,.-s.v..e� __ -v:.a - ---a - .,._.-. ..ys;1:.:,_.5,:13..a,..... 1 1 family residential development proposed. The approximately twenty acre parcel easily accommodates eight single-family lots and supporting infrastructure. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density, of development, in that the two -plus acre lots are more than adequate for the proposed single-family purposes. 5. The design of the subdivision and its proposed improvements and development will not have a significant effect on the environment as indicated in the Initial Study and Negative Declaration and focused Environmental Impact. Report prepared for the proposed project. Specifically, the proposed southerly access will not have a significant effect on the environment because of the minimal amount of traffic to be generated by the proposed subdivision, the low frequency of new noise events and the engineering of the roadway is safe for vehicular traffic. Mitigation measures. have been incorporated in the project which minimize even the insig- nificant impacts which have been identified in the Report. 6. The design of the subdivision and its proposed improvements and development will not cause serious public healthproblems as the existing fire fighting facilities and sewage system are adequate to meet the needs of the proposed subdivision. Introduction of new noise events is well within the parameters of a quiet, residential neighborhood, as is set forth in the Enviromental Impact Report. 7. There are no easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. 8. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system will not result in the violation of the existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board as the proposed sewer system has adequate capacity to handle any discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision. Section 5. Based on the aforementioned findings, the City Council hereby approves Tentative Tract Map No. 33871 with respect to the property described in Section 1 hereof subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
