HEDGES OR WALLS IN CONFLICT WITH PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
CODE AMENDMENT NO. 29 AS AMENDED TO ADDRESS SIDE YARD
OBSTRUCTIONS OF PRINCIPAL IDENTIFIABLE VIEWS FROM SIDE
YARDS AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Findings and Determinations. This interim
ordinance is based upon the following findings and
determinations:
A. The public health, safety and welfare require
adoption of this ordinance as an urgency measure to prohibit
the construction or placement of any hedge or wall in
conflict with proposed Development Code Amendment No. 29, as
referred to the Council for adoption by the. Planning
Commission in PC Resolution No. 89-18, and as amended by the
City Council to address obstruction of principal identifiable
views from side yards. During its public hearing on the
matter of extending Ordinance No. 243U (rear yard view
protection) , the Council heard public testimony indicating
that view obstruction caused by the construction or placement
of hedges and walls in side yard areas between single family
residences was threatened and imminent in various locations
throughout the City. As a result of this testimony, the City
Council determined that the construction or placement of any
such hedges and walls in side yard areas would injure the
public welfare by unreasonably impairing principal
identifiable views from adjacent properties and causing
devaluation of such properties. The Council amended the
language of proposed Development Code Amendment No. 29 to
include provisions preventing side yard obstruction of
principal identifiable views by walls and hedges and adopted
Ordinance No. 245U prohibiting placement or construction of
walls and hedges that would be in conflict with proposed
Development Code Amendment No. 29 as so amended.
11/ B. There is no possibility that the interim
ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment
and the interim ordinance is therefore exempt from review
under the California Environmental quality Act.
Section 3: Ordinance No. 245U is hereby extended through
June 20, 1990 and may be extended, amended, or repealed in
the manner provided by law.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED ON AUGUST 1, 1989.
