Section 2,: The City Council finds that the amendments to Section 17.02.040 are consistent with California Government Code Section 65853, zoning amendment procedures. Section 3: The City Council finds that the amendments to Section 17.02.040 are consistent with the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan in that they uphold, and do not hinder, the goals and policies of those plans, in particular to carefully control and direct future growth towards making a positive contribution to all elements of the community.

Foliage Obstruction. No person shall significantly impair a view from a viewing area of a lot: a. By permitting foliage to grow to a height exceeding the height determined by the view restoration commission through issuance of a view restoration permit under section 17.02.040 (C)(2) of this chapter; or, h. If no view restoration permit has been issued by the view restoration commission, by permitting foliage to grow to a height which is the lesser of: Ordinance No. 317 Page 7 of 14 (I) the ridge line of the primary structure on the property, or (ii) sixteen (16) feet. If foliage on the property already exceeds the provisions of subdivisions (I) and (ii) of section 17.02.040(B)(3) of this chapter on the effective date of this section, as approved by the voters on november 7, 1989, and significantly impairs a view from a viewing area of a lot, then notwithstanding whether any person has sought or obtained issuance of a view restoration permit, the foliage owner shall not let the foliage exceed the foliage height existing on the effective date of this section (november 17, 1989). The purpose of this paragraph is to ensure that owners of foliage which violates the provisions of this paragraph on the effective date of this section shall not allow the foliage to increase in height. This paragraph does not "grandfather" or otherwise permit such foliage to continue to block a view. 4. Removal of Foliage as Condition of Permit Issuance. The city shall issue no conditional use permit, variance, height modification, building permit or other entitlement to construct a structure, or to add livable area to a structure on a parcel utilized for residential purposes, unless the owner removes that part of the foliage on the lot exceeding sixteen (16) feet in height or the ridge line of the primary structure, whichever is lower, that significantly impairs a view from the viewing area of another parcel; or records with the city a covenant to protect views. The owner of the property is responsible for maintaining the foliage so that the views remain unimpaired. This requirement shall not apply where removal of the foliage would constitute an unreasonable invasion of the privacy of the occupants of the property on which the foliage exists and there is no method by which the property owner can create such privacy through some other means allowed within the development code that does not significantly impair a view from a viewing area of another property. The initial decision - on the amount of foliage removal required or the reasonable degree of privacy to be maintained shall be made by the director, the planning commission or the city council, as appropriate for the entitlement in question. If the permit issuance involves property located within the miraleste recreation & park district, the findings of section 17.02.040(C)(2)(c)(vi) of this chapter shall apply. A decision by the director on either of these matters may be appealed to the planning commission, and any decision of the planning commission may be appealed to the city council. 5. Determination of viewing area. a. The determination of a viewing area shall be made by balancing the nature of the view to be protected and the importance of the area of the structure or lot from where the view is taken. Once finally determined for a particular application, the viewing area may not be changed for any subsequent application. In the event the city and owner cannot agree on the viewing area, the decision of the city shall control. A property owner may appeal the city's determination of viewing area. In such event, the decision on the viewing area will be made by the Ordinance No. 317 Page 8 of 14 body making the final decision on the application. A property owner may preserve his or her right to dispute the decision on the viewing area for a subsequent application, without disputing the decision on a pending application, by filing a statement to that effect and indicating the viewing area the property owner believes to be more appropriate. The statement shall be filed with the city prior to consideration of the pending application by the city. C. Procedures and Requirements. 1. Preservation of views where structures are involved. a. Any person proposing to construct a structure above sixteen (16) feet shall submit a height modification permit application to the city. A determination on the application shall be made by the director in accordance with the findings described in section 17.02.040(C)(1)(e) of this chapter. The director shall refer a height modification application directly to the planning commission for consideration under the same findings, as part of a public hearing, if any of the following is proposed: i. Any portion of a structure which exceeds sixteen (16) feet in height extends closer than twenty-five (25) feet from the front or street-side property line; or ii. The area of the structure which exceeds sixteen (16) feet in height (the second story footprint) exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the existing first story footprint area (residence and attached garage); iii. Sixty percent (60%) or more of an existing garage footprint is covered by a structure which exceeds sixteen (16) feet in height (a second story); or iv. Based on an initial site visit, the director determines that any portion of a structure which is proposed to exceed sixteen (16) feet in height may significantly impair a view as defined in this chapter. b. The applicant shall take reasonable steps established by the city council to consult with owners of property located within five hundred (500) feet of the applicant's property. The applicant shall obtain and submit with the application, the signatures of the persons with whom the applicant consulted. Where a homeowners' association existing in the neighborhood affected has provided written notice to the director of its desire to be notified of height modification applications, the applicant shall mail a letter to the association requesting its position on the application. A copy of this letter and the response of the association, if any, shall be submitted with the application. A fee shall be charged for the application as established by resolution of the city council. c. The director shall, by written notice, notify property owners within a five hundred (500) foot radius of the subject property and the affected homeowners' association, if any, of the application and inform them that any objections to the proposed construction must be submitted to the director within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the notice. Ordinance No. 317 Page 9 of 14 d. The applicant shall construct on the site at the applicant's expense, as a visual aid, a temporary frame of the proposed structure. e. An application to build to the maximum height permitted in section 17.02.040(B)(1) of this chapter may be granted, with or without conditions, if the following findings can be made: i. The applicant has complied with the early neighbor consultation process established by the city. ii. The structure does not significantly impair a view from public property (parks, major thoroughfares, bike ways, walkways or equestrian trails) which has been identified in the city's general plan or coastal specific plan, as city-designated viewing areas. iii. The proposed structure is not located on a ridge or a promontory. iv. The structure is designed and situated in such a manner as to minimize impairment of a view. v. There is no significant cumulative view impairment caused by granting the application. Cumulative view impairment shall be determined by: (a) considering the amount of view impairment caused by the proposed structure; and (b) considering the amount of view impairment that would be caused by the construction on other parcels of structures similar to the proposed structure. vi. The proposed structure, when considered exclusive of existing foliage, does not significantly impair a view from the viewing area of another parcel. If the viewing area is located in a structure, the viewing area shall be located in a portion of a structure which was constructed without a height variation (modification) permit or variance, or which would not have required a height variation or variance when originally constructed had this section, as approved by the voters on november 7, 1989, been in effect at the time the structure was constructed, unless the viewing area located in the portion of the existing structure which required a height variation (modification) permit or variance constitutes the primary living area (living room, family room, dining room, or kitchen) of the residence. vii. The proposed structure complies with all other code requirements. viii. The proposed structure is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character. ix. The proposed structure does not result in an unreasonable infringement of the privacy of the occupants of abutting residences. f. Written notice of the director's or planning commission's decision shall be sent to the applicant, his/her representative and to all parties who responded to the original notice. g. The decision of the director may be appealed to the planning commission by the applicant or any person who responded in writing to the director prior to the director's decision, provided the appeal is filed in writing within Ordinance No. 317 Page 10 of 14 fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the director's decision. The appellant shall pay an appeal fee as established by resolution of the city council. h. Notice of the public hearing for an initial determination of a height modification application by the planning commission or an appeal to the planning commission and/or city council shall be mailed thirty (30) calendar days prior to the hearing, to property owners within five hundred (500) feet of the applicant's property , as well as any additional property owners previously determined by the city to be affected by the proposal. i. In hearing an appeal of the director's decision, the planning commission shall grant the application and cause a permit to be issued, only if it finds that all of the requirements of section 17.02.040(C)(1)(e) of this chapter have been met. j. A decision of the planning commission may be appealed to the city council by the applicant or any person who commented orally or in writing to the planning commission, provided the appeal is filed in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the planning commission's decision. In order to grant a permit, the city council must determine that all of the requirements listed in section 17.02.040(C)(1)(e) of this chapter have been met. 2. Restoration of Views Where Foliage is a Factor. a. Any resident owning a residential structure with a view may file an application with the city for a view restoration permit. The applicant shall file with the application proof that the applicant consulted, or attempted to consult, with the property owner whose foliage is in question. The applicant shall pay a fee for the view restoration permit as established by resolution of the city council. b. The application shall be submitted to the view restoration commission. Written notice of the time and place for the hearing on the application shall be sent to the applicant and the property owner(s) of the foliage involved at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the meeting of the commission. Commission members shall inspect the site prior to the public hearing. Only view restoration commission members who make a site inspection may participate in the public hearing. c. In order for a view restoration notice to be issued, the commission must find: i. The applicant has complied with the early neighbor consultation process and has shown proof of cooperation on his/her part to resolve conflicts. ii. Foliage exceeding sixteen (16) feet or the ridge line of the primary structure, whichever is lower, significantly impairs a view from the applicant's viewing area, whether such foliage is located totally on one property, or when combined with foliage located on more than one property. iii. The foliage to be removed is located on property, any part of which is less than one thousand (1,000) feet from the applicant's Ordinance No. 317 Page 11 of 14 property line(s). iv. The foliage significantly impairing the view did not exist, as view impairing vegetation, when the lot from which the view is taken was created. v. Removal or trimming of the foliage will not cause an unreasonable infringement of the privacy of the occupants of the property upon which the foliage is located. vi. For property located within the boundaries of the miraleste recreation & park district, the commission shall also find the removal or trimming of the foliage strikes a reasonable balance between meeting the purposes of section 17.02.040 of this chapter, as set forth in the ordinance approved by the voters on november 7, 1989, and preserving the historical developments of the miraleste recreation & park district area with a large number of trees. d. Should the commission make findings requiring issuance of a view restoration permit, the director shall send a notice to the property owner to trim, cull, lace or otherwise cause the foliage to be reduced to sixteen (16) feet or the ridge line of the primary structure, whichever is lower, or such limit above that height which will restore the view. The property owner will have ninety (90) calendar days to have the foliage removed. The applicant shall be responsible for the expense of the foliage removal and/or replacement ordered pursuant to this subsection only to the extent of the lowest bid amount provided by contractors licensed to do such work in the city of rancho palos verdes and selected by the applicant. If after ninety (90) calendar days the foliage has not been removed, the city of rancho palos verdes will authorize a bonded tree service to trim, cull, lace or remove the identified foliage at the owner's expense. After the initial trimming, culling, lacing or removal of the foliage, the owner, at the owner's expense, shall be responsible for maintaining the foliage so that the view restoration required by the view restoration permit is maintained. e. To the extent legally permissible, trees or foliage on property owned by any governmental entity, except the city and the miraleste recreation & park district, shall be subject to view restoration control, as per the provisions of this section, except that the foliage shall be trimmed or removed thirty (30) calendar days following issuance of the notice. Trees and/or foliage located on city property, or in the public right-of-way, as defined in chapter 17.96 (Definitions), shall be subject to view restoration control, as per the provisions of this section, pursuant to the city tree review permit procedure contained in section 17.76.100 (City Tree Review Permit.) f. The view restoration commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions on the approval of a view restoration permit as may be found to be appropriate or necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare. Such conditions or restrictions may include, but are not limited to, (1) requiring the complete removal of the subject foliage when the commission finds that the trimming, culling, lacing or reducing of that foliage to sixteen (16) feet or the ridge line is likely to kill the foliage or to threaten the public health, safety and welfare, provided that Ordinance No. 317 Page 12 of 14 the property owner consents to the removal; and (2) requiring replacement of such foliage when the commission finds that removal without replacement will cause an adverse impact on the public health, safety and welfare or will adversely impact the safety or privacy of the property owner, provided that the property owner consents to the replacement. g. The applicant, the owner of the property where the foliage is located, or any other interested person may appeal the decision of the view restoration commission to the city council by filing with the city clerk a written notice of appeal, including the grounds for the appeal, and any specific action being requested by the appellant, together with the appeal fee established by resolution of the city council, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the view restoration commission adopts the resolution setting forth its decision. The decision of the view restoration commission is final if no appeal is filed within fifteen (15) calendar days. If such an appeal is timely and properly filed, a copy of the findings of the view restoration commission and all materials on file with the director shall be transmitted to the city council, which shall be part of the appeal hearing record, together with the notice of appeal and any other written materials submitted by interested parties. Additional written materials shall be submitted to the city clerk at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date that the appeal will be heard by the city council. Upon receiving the notice of appeal, the city clerk shall schedule the matter for review at a forthcoming meeting of the city council. At the city council meeting, oral testimony shall be limited to five (5) minutes in length for each of the parties whose properties are affected by the decision and two (2) minutes per person for other individuals. Oral testimony shall be limited to the issues raised in the written appeal. At the conclusion of the oral presentation, the city council may do one of the following: i. Affirm the decision of the view restoration commission and approve the application upon finding that all applicable findings have been correctly made and all provisions of section 17.02.040(C)(2) of this chapter are complied with; or ii. Approve the application but impose additional or different conditions as the city council deems necessary to fulfill the purposes of section 17.02.040(C)(2) of this chapter; or iii. Disapprove the application upon finding that all applicable findings cannot be made or all provisions of section 17.02.040(C)(2) of this chapter have not been complied with; or iv. Refer the matter back to the view restoration commission to conduct further proceedings. The remanded proceedings may include the presentation of significant new evidence which was raised in conjunction with the appeal. The city council shall state the ground(s) for the remand and shall give instructions to the view restoration commission concerning any error found by the city council in the commission's prior determination.
