OF ROLLING HILLS ADOPTING THE CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS GENERAL PLAN AND CERTIFYING THE FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT THEREFOR
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. A draft General Plan and related Environmental
Impact Report ("EIR") were prepared by the City's General Plan
Advisory Committee with the assistance of the City's consultant,
Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc.
Section 2. The draft EIR and General Plan were circulated
to over 62 agencies and interested parties.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly
noticed public hearing on the draft EIR and general Plan on December
12, 1989 and January 6, 1990 at the conclusion of which revisions to
the General Plan relating to the affordable second units, regulation
of noise generators and the construction of certain roadway
improvements were made and thereafter incorporated in the General
Plan.
Section 4. The Planning Commission has reviewed the
revised General Plan and EIR and has recommend approval of both
documents to the City Council pursuant to a Resolution adopted by the
Planning Commission.
Section 5. Pursuant to California Government Code Section
65355, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the Final EIR and General Plan on January 22, January 29,
April 23, May 14 and June 25, 1990.
Section 6. The City Council hereby certifies that the
Final EIR has been completed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act and that the Final EIR was presented to the

finds as follows:

Uj
m
Q
151
(a) The cumulative environmental effects identified the
Safety Element regarding landslide hazards in the Flying
Triangle area relate to the potential for additional development
in that area. Although property in the Flying Triangle area
will continue to be zoned residential, development in this area
will be curtailed by enforcement of building code requirements
that disallow development on geologically unstable land and by
implementation of hazard mitigation and slope maintenance plans
for developments in landslide areas.
(b) The cumulative environmental effects identified in the
Circulation Element relate to an increase of 590 Vehicle trips
per day generated form the additional growth of 59 units allowed
by the Land Use Element. The increased traffic will represent
less that a one percent (1$) increase in average daily trips on
the City's roadways and is therefore not considered
significant.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing and pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65356, the City of Rolling Hills
General Plan is hereby adopted.
Section 9. The adoption of the City of Rolling Hills
General Plan is based upon numerous factors, including but not
limited to the following:
1. The document complies with the requirements of State
law.
2. The document provides a long-range plan for future
development in the City which is sensitive to existing development
patterns.
3. The document represents the desires of the community
and is the result of extensive public participation through a
citizens' survey, the General Plan Advisory Committee and public
hearings.
