A Report on the Initiative Measure for the Marymount College Facilities
Expansion Project (30800 Palos Verdes Drive East), Including a Comparison of
the Proposed Initiative with the Project that was Approved by the City Council
City Council Minutes
June 15, 2010
Page 4 of 14
City Clerk Morreale reported that late correspondence was distributed prior to the
meeting regarding this item.
Principal Planner Mihranian provided a staff report and PowerPoint presentation
regarding the differences between the Campus Specific Plan Initiative Measure and the
Council approved Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project.
Council and staff discussion ensued regarding the comparisons between aspects of the
Initiative Measure and the Council approved Project.
Mark Wells, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that regarding the comparisons he did not
see the safety barrier in the Campus Specific Plan Initiative Measure. He raised
concerns regarding the fair share cost of the traffic mitigations of Palos Verdes Drive
East and Palos Verdes Drive South; Trudie Drive at Western Avenue; and Miraleste
Drive and Palos Verdes Drive East and the remaining cost to the taxpayer.
Jeff Lewis, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he was furious about the Initiative which
takes all the leverage from the City Council and gives it to Marymount College
preventing the City from having the power to protect its residents. He stated that the
Initiative allows other developers to attempt achieve the development goals that they
cannot achieve through the Council. He reported the following: 1) the Initiative
removes any power the City Council would have to regulate the school; 2) there will be
no time limit on construction; 3) there will be no 6 month review of the College Project
after construction; 4) the Initiative is illegal because it amounts to adjudicating or
administering powers instead of making law and legislating. He suggested the City
Attorney should file a lawsuit against Marymount College to declare that the Initiative is
invalid and stay the duty of the City Attorney to put the Initiative on the ballot.
Jim Gordon, (CCC/ME), Rancho Palos Verdes, provided a PowerPoint regarding the
following: 1) there was no flaw in the process of the Project approval and much of the
delay in the process was caused by the College; 2) concern that the College has
abused the informational process and propagandized the benefits of the Initiative; and,
3) concerns regarding the cubic yards of grading of the Initiative versus the Project.
Jon Cartwright, President, Council of Homeowners Associations, Rancho Palos Verdes,
stated that the members of CHOA voted to request that the Council adopt a resolution
to oppose the Marymount Initiative process and place an opposing measure on the
November 2, 2010 ballot. He reported that CHOA believes the following: the initiative
process undermines the City's ability to maintain control and the right to determine land
use, which means lower densities and the preservation of coastal canyons and views;
establishes an important precedent for land use, permitting developers and land owners
to develop properties by popular vote and to avoid the discretion of the City.
Tom Redfield, Concerned Citizens Coalition/Marymount Expansion (CCC/ME), Rancho
Palos Verdes, thanked the City Council for assigning to City staff the task of preparing a
City Council Minutes

Page 5 of 14
comparative analysis of the Council approved Marymount Project and the Marymount
Initiative; and complimented staff on the thorough preparation of excellent staff reports
regarding the Marymount Project. He stated that CCC/ME has identified 36 significant
differences between the Council approved Marymount Project and the Marymount
Initiative in the following categories: removal of requirements; increase of negative
impacts on the neighborhood environment; elimination or reduction of City oversight;
deletion of compliance; and reduction of safety requirements.
Mayor Pro Tem Long moved, seconded by Councilman Stern, to receive and file the
report.
The motion passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Campbell, Long, Misetich, Stern, and Mayor Wolowicz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Certification of Petition — Marymount College
City Clerk Morreale provided a brief staff report regarding the item.
Discussion ensued between Council and City Attorney Lynch.
Mark Wells, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that Marymount College does not want the
residents to be able to make informed decisions and requested that the Council call for
the Special Election. He asserted that Marymount College must have dormitories in
order to attract foreign parents' dollars for the education of their children, noted that a
$40,000 tuition fee was charged this past year, and that 60 percent of the college
population is made up of non-local students.
Dr. Michael Brophy, President, Marymount College, stated that it would be best for
Marymount College and the community for the Marymount Initiative to be placed on the
November 2, 2010 Ballot. He stated that little new information has been presented and
noted that Marymount College would adhere to any financial commitment that was
made to the Council, such as the median along Palos Verdes Drive East. He stated
that a great deal of the conditions in the Marymount Initiative were mitigations presented
in the Environmental Impact Report or by the Planning Commission. He noted that the
voters when considering high density housing will look at Terranea Resort, senior
housing, apartment buildings, and Crestmont College.
Council, staff and applicant discussion ensued.
Ken Dyda, Rancho Palos Verdes, noted that Terranea Resort is in a commercial zone
and has less of an impact on traffic than Marineland did; and that Crestmont College is

not just a street away from a residential area like Marymount College, and is buffered
from adjacent properties by a great deal of vacant land which acts as a mitigating factor.
Mayor Pro Tem Long moved, seconded by Councilman Stern, to receive and file the
City Clerk's Certification of the Marymount College Petition and acknowledge that the
Petition has qualified for a Special Municipal Election to be placed on the November 2,
2010 Statewide General Election Ballot.
The motion passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Campbell, Long, Misetich, Stern, and Mayor Wolowicz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None

November 2, 2010 Special Municipal Election
Mayor Pro Tem Long moved, seconded by Councilman Campbell, to waive the staff
report.
Without objection, Mayor Wolowicz so ordered.
Council and staff discussion ensued.
Mark Wells, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he was opposed to the Calling for a
Special Election to be consolidated with the Statewide General Election to demonstrate
to Marymount College that they cannot always have that which they desire.
Councilman Stern moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Long, to: 1) ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 2010-49, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALLING FOR A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2010, AS REQUIRED BY THE
PROVISIONS OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA RELATING TO
GENERAL LAW CITIES FOR THE SUBMISSION TO THE VOTERS A QUESTION
REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF A SPECIFIC PLAN TO GOVERN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARYMOUNT COLLEGE CAMPUS; and, 2) ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 2010-50, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, REQUESTING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TO CONSOLIDATE A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL
ELECTION OF SAID CITY TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 2, 2010 WITH THE
STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON SAID DATE PURSUANT TO

Permissible Actions by the City Council Concerning the Initiative Petition
Regarding Marymount College Expansion
Mayor Pro Tern Long moved, seconded by Councilman Stern, to waive the staff report.
Without objection, Mayor Wolowicz so ordered.
Mark Wells, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he opposed the Marymount College Plan
and requested that the Council adopt a resolution opposing the Initiative for the
following reasons: the increased costs of first responders to the high density population
that would be at the College; dormitories; and the removal of the City Council's
responsibility in representing all of the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes.
George Zugsmith, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that the City might want to consider
changing the City of Rancho Palos Verdes from a General Law City to a Charter City.
He spoke in favor of the expenditure of public funds for information purposes to the
public regarding the Marymount Initiative. He stated that a resolution opposing the
initiative should include the information that the initiative will interfere with City self-rule;
City Council Minutes
June 15, 2010
Page 8 of 14
undermines local planning; evades environmental review; authorizes after-the-fact
changes; does not benefit the economy; and leaves many unanswered questions, which
he borrowed from the City of Carpenteria initiative.
Tom Redfield, CCC/ME, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he supports the points Mr.
Zugsmith raised and inquired as to the action the City Council would take regarding the
initiative, opining that the Council has the flexibility to take a strong position.
Lois Karp, CCC/ME, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that she urged the City Council to
take a stand opposing the Marymount College Initiative. She noted that the Initiative is
not just about Marymount College, but is about the control the City has over future
development. She reported that control of development was the reason the City was
founded and the environment created by the City's Development Code and General
Plan was the reason residents enjoy living in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. She
stated that the Marymount Initiative changes the General Plan by creating a Specific
Plan for the development of Marymount College with no regard for others, by creating a
city within a city, and will bring other initiatives by other developers who do not wish to
be bound by the City rules and regulations. She urged the City Council to take a stand
and educate the general public.
Susan Brooks, Mira Catalina Homeowners Association (HOA), Rancho Palos Verdes,
stated that the City was founded in 1973, noting that the Marymount College Initiative
process is an insult to the City. She expressed concern regarding the Palos Verdes
Drive East Switchbacks, landslides, grading, safety and environmental concerns. She
stated that this was not the way to handle the process, by alienating the neighbors from
Marymount College and that there were many distortions, misleading information and
untruths regarding the project.
Jeff Lewis, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he is opposed to the staff
recommendation and that the City Council should receive the report and utilize the
discretion as provided by the City Attorney to show leadership.
Council discussion ensued.
Mayor Pro Tem Long moved, seconded by Councilman Stern, to: 1) Receive and file
the staff report; 2) Appoint a subcommittee to draft a resolution, without the expenditure
of public funds, containing the valid reasons to oppose the Marymount College Initiative
with the resolution to be brought back to the Council for adoption; and, 3) Direct staff to
place on the City's website informational and educational materials regarding the
Special Election, including the staff report and comparison chart regarding the Council
approved project vs. the Initiative, the arguments, rebuttals, and City Attorney's impartial
analysis, with items to be placed on the website to be reviewed by the City Attorney to
be sure those items are purely informative and educational in nature.
