wall along the south property line of the Golden Cove Center.
Discussion ensued between Council Members and staff.
William Finer, representative of applicant/appellant Mr. Zarrabian, Torrance, thanked
the Council for visiting the site to better understand the particular situation. He stated
that Mr. Zarrabian's goal has been to improve and create an attractive Golden Cove
Center and to ultimately seek the approval of an outdoor dining area at the corner
space. He noted that the problem with a six foot solid wall at that location was that it
would restrict the view corridor for a tenant who might be interested in renting. He
requested that the Council consider alternatives to the solid barrier wall, including a
step-down wall or a glass or plexiglass portion of the wall.
Ed Shea, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he requested the Council to support the
Planning Commission's decision to uphold the building of a solid wall, noting that
included in the Council's packet was a petition supporting this position signed by 45
residents of Villa Capri.

owners at lower Villa Capri purchased their properties, they all knew that there was a
6-foot high wall at the location to help with issues including the noise, lights of cars, and
aesthetics of the site.
Kevan Bunting, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he agreed with the comments made
this evening. He noted that he would like a solid 6-foot wall fully extended along the
side of the property to prevent employees and others from sitting on the wall during
breaks and climbing on or over the wall.
Mary Lou Xenos, Rancho Palos Verdes, invited the Council Members to her home to
witness the activity at the Golden Cove site including traffic, deliveries, and wait staff
who sit and smoke on the wall. She noted that she desired to see a solid 6-foot wall to
address the issues that have been raised and urged the Council to support the Planning
Commission decision.
William Finer, representative of appellant in rebuttal, stated that the Council should
provide consideration for the neighbors while providing a solution for all involved parties
so that the view corridor at that particular location can be preserved.
Discussion ensued between Council Members and staff.
Councilman Stern moved, seconded by Councilman Campbell, to approve the staff
recommendation to: 1) Deny the appeal of Condition No. 14 of Planning Commission
