ORD 231U ORDINANCE NO. 231U AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ESTABLISHING A SPECIFIC PLAN REQUIREMENT FOR CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF. The City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes does hereby ordain as follows : Section 1 : Notwithstanding any provision of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code , or other ordinance of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes , no environmental assessment, building permit, coastal permit or other permit or entitlement for use , construction, development or establishment of any structures or buildings (excluding additions to existing structures or buildings , geologic investigations , and environmental assessments related to the preparation of specific plans ) , or for any grading which requires issuance of a permit under the Building Code , shall be issued , and no subdivision map shall be approved , nor shall applications for such permits or subdivision maps be accepted for processing , nor shall any application that has been submitted to the City but is incomplete on the adoption of this ordinance be further processed , for the property within the portions of Coastal Subregions 1 , 7 or 8, and the switchback area of Palos Verdes Drive East ( individually or collectively) , designated on the maps attached as Exhibit A and hereinafter referred to as the "Study Areas " , until detailed specific plans have been adopted by the City Council and certified by the California Coastal Commission covering the property proposed to be developed pursuant to said application(s) . Section 2 : On April 5, 1988 the City Council authorized the preparation of specific plans for the Study Areas . It is the intent of the City Council and its Environmental Services Department, with the anticipated cooperation of affected property owners and residents of the community, to examine the Study Areas to determine the adequacy of the coastal specific plan for such areas , whether the coastal specific plan should be amended , and to prepare more detailed specific plans addressing development in the Study Areas . However , pending preparation of such specific plans by the City, a specific plan and an environmental assessment application to accompany the specific plan, may be prepared by any property owner within the Study Areas and may be submitted to the City for processing in conformity with Article 8, Chapter 3, Division I , Title 7 of the California Government Code governing the preparation and processing of specific plans . Any specific plan submitted by a property owner shall be a detailed master plan addressing development in the entire specific plan district within which the property is located, unless the Director of Environmental Services determines that such plan should be more limited in scope . Section 3 : Major portions of the Study Areas are within the City's coastal zone and comprise nearly all of the vacant remaining land adjacent to the coastline in Rancho Palos Verdes . There is at the present time no ordinance adequately regulating the grading of property and the development of structures and buildings on properties within the Study Areas , particularly in light of proposed changes in permitted land uses within and adjacent to portions of the Study Areas which would significantly increase the amount of commercial development within the City's coastal zone . Although the coastal specific plan, adopted in 1978, generally addresses development for those portions of the Study Areas in the coastal zone , it does not adequately address the changes in land use currently being proposed . Further , the coastal specific plan is not sufficiently detailed , and must be reexamined and studied to determine whether it contains sufficient regulations to ensure that development in the Study Areas occurs at an appropriate scale and density, consistent with the size, topography, and circulation system capacities of the area , with no unnecessary alterations to existing land f orms . Further, through reexamination of the coastal specific plan and preparation of detailed specific plans , the City desires to ensure that any development that occurs will preserve significant public and private views over the area, provide for adequate public coastal access , open space , and recreation opportunities , and is evaluated in terms of the fiscal and public service impact on the City and its residents . Section 4 : The Study Areas contain a large number of vacant lots where inadequately regulated.development, and hastily considered changes in land use, will potentially create adverse and irreversible land use effects and hazards . Applicable zoning presently lacks adequate land use control to ensure the orderly development of structures and buildings in said areas . The unregulated grading and proliferation of buildings and structures would cause adverse impacts on the use, enjoyment, and value of property within the City. Section 5 : The unregulated establishment of any buildings or structures that would conflict with future regulations would be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community. Therefore , with the absence of an approved specific plan which focuses in detail on the Study Areas and provides sufficient development regulations , this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health safety and welfare . Section 6: This ordinance shall expire and terminate Ordinance No . 231U Page 2 forty-five ( 45 ) days after the date of adoption hereof unless extended by the City Council at a regularly noticed public hearing. II/ Section 7: This ordinance , being an interim ordinance for the immediate protection of the public health, safety, and welfare , and containing a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and passed by a four-fifths ( 4/5ths ) vote of the Council , shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. PASSED , APPROVED and ADOPTED on April 19, 1988. ,s' #4,,Z / / r MAY,' ' ATTEST: 41 4' 0 E /0, CITY CLERK STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) ss CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ) I , JO PURCELL , City Clerk of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes do hereby certify that the whole number of members of the City Council of said City is five ; that the foregoing ordinance , being Ordinance No . 231U, was duly and regularly adopted by the City Council of said City at a regular meeting thereof held on April 19, 1988, and the same was passed and adopted by the following roll call vote : AYES : BACHARACH, Mc TAGGART, H INCHL I FFE, HUGHES AND MAYOR RYAN NOES : NONE I IN■ AOF A / / 1 C TY CLERK Ordinance No . 231U EXHIBIT A COASTAL SUBREGIONS 7,8 ANA PVDE SWITCHACKS - , ,_,--... __- . oi-9' P 5 '''N,',):.. . ,,,.,„ .
