A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES ESTABLISHING AN APPEAL FEE FOR DECISIONS
OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS REGARDING APPLICATIONS
FOR PERMITS TO CONSTRUCT ABOVEGROUND FACILITIES WITHIN
THE PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
A. Pursuant to Chapter 12.06 of Title 12 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal
Code and Ordinance No. , adopted concurrently herewith, the City
established a comprehensive regulatory scheme to govern the installation of
aboveground facilities in the public rights-of-way (the "Regulations").
B. The Regulations establish procedures for the installation of aboveground
utilities within the public-rights-of way and vest the Director of Public Works
("Director") with the authority to issue or deny an application for a right-of-way
use permit to allow an aboveground facility within the public right-of-way. In
addition, the Regulations establish a process by which the decision of the
Director can be appealed to the City Council. Pursuant to its police powers,
the City desires to establish and implement a fee to offset its costs to process
such an appeal. The estimated staff services and costs to process an appeal
of a decision by the Director are $300 to $400 per appeal.
C. The establishment of appeal fees to be charged to appellants will offset a
portion of the City's costs to process the appeals and will not generate
additional revenue to the City.

proposed new fees to be duly published in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News
on October 7, 2003 and October 11, 2003.
