CC RES 1995-025RESOLUTION NO. 95 -25
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES EXTENDING THE DEADLINE SPECIFIED IN
RESOLUTION 95 -03 FROM MARCH 10, 1995 TO JUNE 30, 1995,
FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS NECESSARY TO REPAIR OR REMEDIATE
DAMAGE OR DANGEROUS CONDITIONS RESULTING FROM THE STORMS
OF JANUARY 1995; AND EXTENDING THE FEE WAIVER TO INCLUDE
THOSE PLANNING APPLICATIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE
DIRECTOR OF PLANNING, BUILDING, AND CODE ENFORCEMENT.
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95 -03 confirming
the existence of a local emergency and confirming certain orders and
actions of the Director of Emergency Services; and,
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 95 -03 established a deadline of March 10,
1995 for the submittal of applications necessary to repair or remediate
damage or dangerous conditions resulting from the storms of January
1995; and,
WHEREAS, the continued storms during January 1995 oversaturated
many properties and the property owners have been advised that work
should not progress on their properties until the conclusion of the
rainy season or until the slope or condition has dried out sufficiently
to allow restoration; and,
WHEREAS the grading activity for slope restoration would not be
advisable unless the conditions on a property would allow a safe and
final resolution to any dangerous condition created by the January
storms; as attempts to restore oversaturated slopes may result in
further slope erosion, or, the creation of an unstable condition which
may erode during future rains; and,
WHEREAS, storm damage may have occurred to structures other than
retaining walls and slopes on several of the properties, the repair of
which may ultimately require Planning approval; and,
WHEREAS, the City has received only approximately 5% of the
applications identified by Resolution 95 -03 that would potentially
require Planning approval; and,
WHEREAS, an extension of the March 101 1995 application submittal
deadline would allow the remaining property owners the opportunity take
advantage of the application processing guidelines provided under
Resolution No. 95 -03 to restore or remediate the dangerous conditions
on their properties caused by the January 1995 storms;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS DOES
HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The continued oversaturation of properties in the
City has prevented the full or complete restoration or remediation to
take place on many properties in the City within the deadline
previously established pursuant to Resolution No. 95 -03.
Section 2: The City Council hereby amends Section 1 C 4 of
Resolution NO. 95 -03 to extenting the waiver of fees to include those
Planning applications deemed necessary by the Director of Planning,
Building, and Code Enforcement for repairs related to the January 1995
storms.
Section 3: The City Council hereby amends Section 1 C 5 of
Resolution NOo 95 -03 to extend the deadline to submit applications in
accordance with the expedited procedures established by that
Resolution, from March 10, 1995 to June 10, 1995, to allow the
remaining property owners to file applications to restore or remediate
dangerous conditions on their properties caused by the January 1995
storms.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED on this 7th day of March, 19950
