ORD 016 REPEALED BY ORDINANCE NO. 54U (9/3/74)
ORDINANCE NO. 16
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES RELATING TO THE ZONING AND CLASSIFY-
ING OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES ON AN INTERIM BASIS, DECLARING
A MORATORIUM ON THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING
AND GRADING PERMITS IN CERTAIN AREAS , AND
MAKING THIS ISSUANCE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT PROCEDURES IN THE REMAINDER OF
THE CITY, ADOPTING THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 1494 BY REFERENCE.
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes was incorporated on
the 7th day of September, 1973. Among its first actions was the
adoption on September 7 , 1973 of Ordinance No. 3 captioned "AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES RELATING TO ZONING
AND CLASSIFYING OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
ON AN INTERIM BASIS AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF. " Section 8
of that Ordinance provides that, one of the purposes supporting the
Council' s action was a desire to preserve the status quo and thus
permit this City to conduct the necessary studies in order to deter-
mine the appropriate zoning and development controls which are to be
applied to real property in this City.
In addition to that desire which still exists, it is both nec-
essary to proper planning in the City and required by state law that
this City Council adopt a General Plan to guide the future develop-
ment of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Before a General Plan and
development controls can be adopted, this City Council intends to
invite and encourage the broadest community participation in the
definition of community goals so that the General Plan which is
adopted truly represents the long range goals of this City. There
will be many meetings with members of the community, consultants
and other advisors before any General Plan can be presented for
formal approval by this City Council. Because of the seriousness
which this City Council attaches to a General Plan, and its desire
to involve the community in the preparation of this document, it is
likely that it will be many months before a General Plan and develop-
ment controls are adopted by this City.
The City Council therefore is adopting this Ordinance with the
intent of maintaining the status quo, or alternatively phrased,
maintaining its ability to properly general plan the City without
having development take place during the planning process which pre-
empts or otherwise limits the effectiveness of the City' s Genera1
Plan, while at the same time attempting to permit at least controlled
development in those portions of the City the character of which has
already been established by existing development.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Los Angeles County Zoning Ordinance, as adopted
and in effect on September 7, 1973, being Ordinance No. 1494 , is
hereby adopted by reference as the interim zoning ordinance of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes for a period of eight months from the
date hereof.
Section 2. All properties within the City of Rancho Palos
t_ Verdes are hereby zoned and classified to the RA-1 (1 acre) zone.
Section 3. Notwithstanding any other Ordinance or Code of the
Y
City of Rancho Palos Verdes , no building permit or grading permit
shall be issued as to any property located in that portion of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes outlined in red upon that map attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference.
This moratorium on building and grading shall expire eight months
from the date of adoption of this Ordinance unless otherwise specifi-
cally extended or terminated by action of this City Council.
Section 4. Notwithstanding any other Ordinance or Code of the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes , no building permit or grading permit
shall be issued unless there is , and can be made, a finding that
the construction or grading will not have a significant effect on
the environment. The City Manager shall be in charge of the adminis-
tration of the procedures necessary for the preparation and considera-
tion of the environmental impact reports necessitated by this section.
Appeals from determinations regarding the need for, or sufficiency
of environmental impact reports made by either the City Manager or
his designated agent shall be heard and determined by the City
Council. The City Manager may recommend and the City Council may
adopt by resolution procedures, criteria and standards of evaluation
to be utilized in the administration of this section.
Section 5. Ordinance No. 9 of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
is hereby repealed.
