Draft Revised City Council Policy No. 31 (redlined) (page A-1) B. Draft Revised City Council Policy No. 31 (clean) (page B-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On December 20, 2016, the City Council approved the Neighborhood Public Safety Monitoring Program (click here to review the agenda report). The Program included amendments to City Council Policy No. 31, which deals with authorized encroachment into the City's public rights-of-way. Amendments to City Council Policy No. 31 were proposed in order to streamline the permitting process to allow homeowners' associations (HOAs) to install security cameras in the public right-of-way, if necessary. In the process of preparing to "roll out" this new Program, Staff has consulted with representatives of many HOAs in the City. An informational meeting held at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center on March 6, 2017 was attended by more than seventy (70) residents, and Staff has also met individually with a number of HOAs. As a result of these conversations, it has become clear to Staff that further amendments to City Council Policy No. 31 are needed in order to make it easier and financially viable for HOAs to participate in the security camera grant program. Therefore, Staff proposes additional amendments to this policy. 1 Section III of City Council Policy No. 31 addresses the procedure for the encroachment camera of HOA security cameras into the City's public rights-of-way. Staff is proposing additional clarifying language to this section, including language related to lighting, permit fee exemptions and the execution of a license agreement between the City and the affected HOA. A redlined version of the Policy is included as Attachment A and a "clean" version with attachments as Attachment B. In addition to the amendments to Section III, Staff has taken this opportunity to propose amendments to Sections I and II in order to improve the clarity and internal consistency of the Policy. Section I addresses fences, walls, pilasters and similar structures, while Section II addresses observation booths and similar structures. ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for the City Council's consideration: 1. Direct Staff to make additional amendments to City Council Policy No. 31. 2. Direct Staff not to amend City Council Policy No. 31. 2 CITY COUNCIL POLICY NUMBER: 31 DATE ADOPTED/AMENDED: 04/16/96 (Amended 01/21/97, 04/18/00, a+a 12/20/16 and 04/04/17) Formatted: Font: 12 pt SUBJECT: Encroachments into the Public Right -of -Way Formatted: Font: 12 pt POLICY: _ Formatted: Font: 12 pt It shall be the policy of the City Council to follow the procedures outlined in the attached Policy Statement for encroachments in the public right-of-way, as adopted on April 16, 1996, revised on January 21, 1997, April 18, 2000, and December 20, 2016, and April 4, 2017.

BACKGROUND: On April 19, 1996, the City Council reviewed and approved an update of the City policy pertaining to encroachments of structures in the public right-of-way. The changes consisted of augmentation of the then current policy which was approved by the City Council on May 15, 1984, with language pertaining to the encroachment of tract entrance observation structures into the public right-of-way. The City Council has directed that this policy relating to encroachments into the public right-of-way be placed into the City Council Policy Manual. Amendments were made on April 18, 2000 to streamline the review process for certain types of encroachments into the right-of-way especially for unpermitted structure for which legalization is sought. Amendments were made on December 20, 2016 and April 4, 2017, to exempt security cameras owned by Homeowner Associations for public safety purposes provided that the location was approved by the Public Works and Community Development Departments. Additionally, certain sections were updated to be consistent with the City's Municipal Code, along with wording amendments for clarification purposes.

The size of the vicinity map varies by application and may involve either adjacent properties, a 100' radius, or a 500' radius. Please check on the application form you are submitting for the vicinity map size you must submit. With the exception of "Adjacent Properties" maps, a vicinity map and property owners list must be prepared by a Title Company or other professional mailing list preparation service. The mailing labels must be certified as accurate by the agent preparing the mailing list. Attached is a list of firms that provide services in preparation of vicinity maps and certified mailing labels. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list and the cost of the services provided will vary. If you have any questions regarding properties of the vicinity map or property owners list, as described below, please the Planning Department at (310) 544-5228 or via email at planning@rpvca.gov. VICINITY MAP The purpose of the vicinity map is to clearly show all properties within the required radius of the subject lot (applicant). The vicinity map must clearly show the required radius line, dimensioned and drawn from the exterior boundaries of the subject lot, as shown below. All neighboring properties (including lots outside R.P.V. city limits) which fall completely within, partially within or are just touched by the radius line, must be consecutively numbered and the names and the addresses of the owners provided to the City as described below. Please devise a consecutive numbering system on the map and ignore the lot number, Assessors number, or any other number already found on the lots on the vicinity maps. An "adjacent properties" vicinity map does not involve a set radius but rather needs to identify all properties behind, beside, and in front of the proposed project site, as shown below. PROPERTY OWNERS MAILING LIST The property owner of every parcel (even if vacant, rented or government owned), which falls completely or partially within the required radius on the vicinity map must be identified, placed on a mailing list and submitted to the City. The name and address of every property owner along with the assigned lot identification number, which corresponds to the vicinity map, must be neatly typed on 8 '/2" x 11 sheets of Xerox or Avery self- adhesive labels, as shown below. Two (2) sets of self-adhesive labels and a Xerox copy of the list must be provided to the City with your subject application. These labels will be used by the City to mail notice of your subject application to neighboring property owners. The property owners list must be obtained from the most current L.A. County Tax Assessor's roll. The City does not provide this service. The Assessor's office located at 500 W. Temple Street, Room 205, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
