Title

Zone 2 Landslide Moratorium Ordinance Revisions (Planning Case No. ZON2009-00409)

Description

The project description, presented below, has not changed since the City of Rancho Palos Verdes circulated Draft EIR in 2012. Landslide Moratorium Ordinance Revisions: Section 15.20.040 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code established the process for requesting exceptions to the existing moratorium on the "filing, processing, approval or issuance of building, grading, or other permits" within the existing LMA. The proposed code amendment to the City's Landslide Moratorium Ordinance would revise existing Exception "P" to allow for the future submittal of Landslide Moratorium Exception (LME) applications for 31 undeveloped or underdeveloped lots within Zone 2. It should be noted that the granting of an LME does not constitute approval of a specific project request, but simply grants the property owner the ability to submit the appropriate application(s) for consideration of a specific project request. The potential granting of up to 31 LME requests under the proposed ordinance revisions would permit individual property owners to then apply for individual entitlements to develop their lots. The undeveloped lots within Zone 2 are held in multiple private ownerships so the timing and scope of future development is not known. For the purposes of the EIR, it will be assumed that development would occur over a period of at least 10 years from adoption of the ordinance revisions in a manner consistent with the private architectural standards adopted by the Portuguese Bend Community Association and the City's underlying RS-1 and RS-1 zoning regulations.
