(701 x 1801 x 1203) Mayor McTaggart opened this public hearing on General Plan Amendment No. 23, Coastal Specific Plan Amendment No. 6, Zone Change No. 25, and Environmental Assessment No. 686. City Clerk Purcell reported that notice of this hearing was duly published and that no written protests had been received by the City. Senior Planner Snow presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendations to 1) Adopt the proposed resolution adopting a Negative Declaration for the project, 2) Adopt the proposed resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 23, and Coastal Specific Plan Amendment No. 6; and, 3) Introduce the proposed ordinance approving Zone Change No. 25. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, stated her support for this amendment. Council expressed concern about the recommended parking requirements and questioned if the nine additional spaces required were necessary inasmuch as there never seemed to be more than just a few cars using the professional office. Of particular concern was the requirement that the area adjacent to the Ishibashi flower stand be chained off at night. After clarification that this area is leased by the City to Mr. Ishibashi and is also used for overflow parking from the Wayfarer's Chapel facility adjacent to Mr. Haas's property, it was the consensus that some accommodation about the chaining and unchaining of the area should be sought with the affected parties. The applicant in this matter, Mr. Robert Haase, 20 Seacove Drive, stated that he doubted that this number of parking spaces would ever be needed as a result of business at his location. Responding to Council inquiries later in the hearing, Mr. Haase said he has never needed to use overflow parking spaces; that his commercial office space does not generate a lot of activity for the neighborhood and that he wanted to keep it that way because he lives in the area also. He stated his support for the staff recommendation to provide the space so future business activities would not be unduly restricted from lack of required parking. The public hearing was closed on motion of Councilman Byrd, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro and carried. A brief discussion ensued relative to the chaining and unchaining of the off site parking City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 4 area and it was agreed that the City Attorney should amend the existing agreements with James Ishibashi and the Wayfarer's Chapel so that they have access to a key for the lock on the chains. Councilman Byrd moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro to: (1) adopt Resol. No. 97 -17 Adopting a Negative Declaration for the project; Adopt Resol. No. 97 -18 approving General Plan Amendment No. 23, and Coastal Specific Plan Amendment No. 6; and, that the City Attorney amend the agreements with James Ishibashi, the Wayfarer's Chapel and Mr. Haase to accommodate these parties having a key to the chain for the excess parking site. Motion carried. Later in the meeting, Ordinance No. 321 of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes approving zone change No. 25 for the properties located at 6108, 6118 and 6124 Palos Verdes Drive South, changing from RS-4 (Single Family Residential) to Commercial Professional for properties at 6108 and 6118 Palos Verdes Drive South and from RS-4 (single family residential) to Institutional for property at 6124 Palos Verdes Drive South was introduced on motion of Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro and carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Byrd, Hollingsworth, Ferraro, Lyon, & Mayor McTaggart NOES: None Appeal of City Tree Review Permit No. 12, Mr. & Mrs. Martin (1203 x 1806) Mayor McTaggart opened this public hearing on this Appeal of City Tree Review Permit No. 12, which would require the removal of the subject trees unless a covenant, agreeing to maintain the trees, was signed by the appellant. City Clerk Purcell reported that notice of this hearing was duly published and that all letters received were made part of the Council's package. Project Coordinator Carter presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendation to deny the appeal, upholding the View Restoration Commission's January 16, 1997 decision requiring the removal of the subject trees unless the appellant, signed a City Covenant agreeing to maintain the trees at a height that would preserve the view from 2222 Rue Le Charlene. Representing the appellants Mr. & Mrs. Martin, was their attorney Ted Weitz, 15332 Antioch Street, Pacific Palisades, who stated his disagreement with the requirement for the appellants to sign an covenant and said that this matter involved the potential removal of ten jacaranda trees that were planted by a prior owner of the property. He City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 5 said that the Martins have trimmed these trees to the point where they do not impact the McHugh's view; he disputed the number of trees that ever did block view; and questioned how the covenant would be enforced. Continuing, he described the privacy that these trees provide for his clients' pool and patio area and he said that there was no need to remove these trees or force them to sign a covenant because they have been trimming them voluntarily. Mr. Walter McHugh, 2222 Rue Le Charlene, said that the subject trees are on City property and that they are not private property; that the City has a good neighbor policy of trimming or removing trees that impact view; that the trees impair his view; and, that they are not part of the landscaping plan of the neighborhood. Mrs. Katina McHugh, 2222 Rue Le Charlene, felt that the View Restoration Commission's decision should satisfy everyone; that she wanted to enjoy her view; that privacy was not the issue in this matter; that they cannot see into the Martin's property; and, that these trees represent 225 feet of solid wall. Council discussion focused on the present height of the trees; clarification of the specific language in the covenant to allow for annual trimming commencing June 30, 1997; the frequency of the tree trimming; if selective trees could be removed instead of all of them; and, the location of the McHugh's primary viewing area. There being no further testimony on this matter, Mayor McTaggart ordered the public hearing closed. Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by Councilman Byrd to approve the staff recommendation with clarification of the covenant to allow for annual trimming of the trees commencing June 30, 1997. AYES: Lyon, Byrd, Hollingsworth, Ferraro, and Mayor McTaggart NOES: None REGULAR BUSINESS: General Plan Amendment Initiation Request - Valmonte Canyon (1203 x 701) Associate Planner Pfost presented the staff memorandum and the recommendation to approve the request to initiate an amendment to the City's General Plan, thereby allowing the applicant to submit the appropriate applications to change the current General Plan land use and zoning designations from Residential, 1 dwelling units per 5 City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 6 acres to Residential, 2 -4 dwelling units per acre. Council discussed the present procedure for general plan initiation requests and whether the Council approving the request to "initiate" gave the mistaken impression that this was approval of the proposed change. Complicating the process all the more was the fact that generally at this stage of the process, the Council knows very little about the proposed project. The suggestion was made that perhaps, all applicants should be allowed to request a change and not go through this "pre- step" of requesting approval to "initiate" a request for a zone change. It was argued, however, that this first step was instituted to advise an applicant at the outset, before a great deal of time and effort was invested in their proposal, when a proposal might be considered "way out" and would never be given City approval. Specific to this application, Council expressed concern that this change not create an "undevelopable" lot; that there be a guarantee that the change would only facilitate installation of hard scape and landscaping; and, that there would have to be a deed restriction prohibiting the subdivision of the property. The applicant in this matter, Mr. Pritam Matharu, 5305 Bayridge Road, said that the property involved in this matter is not only unbuildable, but has no access from the street. He said he bought the land below his home so that nobody could build on it. Mr. Richard Bara, 1 Peppertree, stated that he disagreed with this request for a zone change. Council discussion then focused on the fact that what was really needed in this case was a lot line adjustment, however, it was necessary to make an application for a zone change because a lot line adjustment would only create a lot with two residential zoning district designations that are less than five acres in size and therefore be inconsistent with the General Plan and zoning code. Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to allow the applicant to move forward with the application process under the condition that it was contingent upon a lot line adjustment and a deed restriction prohibiting residential structures from being placed on the added parcel or further subdivision after enlargement of the applicant's lot. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Lyon, Ferraro, and Mayor McTaggart NOES: None ABSTAIN: Hollingsworth, and Byrd City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 7 RECESS AND RECONVENE: At 8:30 P.M. Mayor McTaggart declared a recess; the meeting reconvened at 8:45 P.M. General Plan Amendment Initiation4 Request - Host Marriott Realty - Northwest Corner - Crenshaw & Crestridge Rd. (1203 x 1804) Senior Planner Snow presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendation to approve the request to initiate an amendment to the City's General Plan, thereby allowing the applicant to submit the appropriate applications to change the current General Plan land use and zoning designations from Institutional and Hazard to Residential, 1 -2 dwelling units per acre. Representing Palos Verdes Land Company was Dan Withee, 1983 W. 190th, Torrance, who stated that he was unaware of the open space hazard zone encroachment with their plan; that it would be part of the process to explore all of the soil issues with this property; that this plan did not contain the massive grading proposed by the previous project; that this proposed residential project would result in less traffic and density; that allowing this initiation for a general plan amendment request would allow them to explore all elements of the property; that they are aware that there was a landslide on property located below; that they have a geologist's letter saying that what they are proposing is possible; that they are requesting to be allowed to look at the potential use of this property; that they feel it is a reasonable use of it; that it is adjacent to the Ridgecrest tract and that it overlooks other residential areas; and, that the surrounding area would be better served by looking at other residential roofs instead of the previously proposed institutional use. Luella Wike, 29172 Oceanridge Drive, urged the City Council not to initiate this change to the land use for this parcel; that this area needed to be preserved for future institutional use; that with an increase in homes there would be an increased demand for institutional use such as churches. She submitted a letter signed by eight residents of the area requesting that the Council not deviate from the General Plan designation of the Crestridge property's institutional zoning. (Ms. Wike's letter is on file with the City Clerk's Office.) Council discussion again focused on the need to revise the process of how these requests for initiation of general plan amendments are considered and the need to further discuss the matter. It was reiterated that because the Council might approve this request that it should not be construed as support or approval of the project, but merely permission to make application. City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 8 Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to approve the request with the understanding that this should not be construed as approval by the City Council nor as an indication that the zone change would be approved. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Lyon, Ferraro, Byrd, and Mayor McTaggart NOES: Hollingsworth RECESS and RECONVENE: At 9:25 P.M. Mayor McTaggart declared a recess. The meeting reconvened at 9:51 P.M. with the Council having conducted the business of the Redevelopment Agency and Maintenance Authority. Fee Waiver for Variance No. 421 and Foliage Analysis - Height Variation No. 831 . (1203 x 1804) Assistant Planner Fox presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendation to deny the applicant's request to waive the $1,140.00 variance application fee for the proposed addition to a single - family residence at 4225 Miraleste Drive. Representing the property owners in this matter was their architect Olympia Greer, 267 Palos Verdes Drive West, P.V.E., who referred to her February 24 letter which detailed the situation requiring her clients to file a separate variance application and pay the resultant fee of $1,140. (Ms. Greer's letter is on file with the City Clerk's Office.) Hugh Kienberger, 4225 Miraleste Drive, described this proposed addition and features of his house. He said that it does not add height along the ridge of the house; and that all of the analysis required for the variance should be covered by the application fee for the height variation. Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro to reduce the fee by $700.00, which was the amount the applicant had already paid to the Palos Verdes Art Jury. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Lyon, Byrd, Ferraro, Hollingsworth, and Mayor McTaggart NOES: None Landslide Moratorium Exception No. 17 (1203 x 1801) Principal Planner Rojas presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 9 recommendation to approve Landslide Moratorium Exception No. 17, thereby allowing the landowner to proceed with a Site Plan Review Application to construct an 845 square foot deck in the rear yard and a 442 square foot deck in the front yard at 30 Narcissa Drive. Representing the property owners was their project engineer Gary Wynn, 1852 Lomita Blvd., Lomita, who stated that these are ingress and egress decks constructed immediately adjacent to the house; that they are not structurally attached; that when a mud slide occurred at the location in 1995 proper drains were not in place; and, that they have submitted several geologic reports to allay any concern about additional slides because of the mitigating measures installed such as subsurface drains. Council comments focused on the necessity to have proper drainage structures in place at this location. Councilman Byrd moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro, to approve staff recommendation. Motion carried. Legislative Activity: AB 401 - Eastview School Boundaries (306 x 1101 x 1401) Senior Analyst Otto presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendations to 1) Support AB 401 (Kuykendall) which proposes to amend the boundaries of the Los Angeles Unified School District to permit the Eastview area to be included in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. 2) Urge Senator Karnette to actively support AB 401. Representing the Rolling Hills Riviera Homeowners Association was ' Don Shults, 2129 Velez Drive, who stated that there are concerns about transferring students from one district to another; that Dodson Jr. High School has 1600 students and that 60 or 70 of them live in Rancho Palos Verdes; that these transfers will effect teachers jobs and pay and will create an economic problem for the Los Angeles Unified School District; that for the 1997 -98 school year that children be allowed to finish at Dodson; and, that students who live in City be allowed to continue to go to Dodson. Council discussion focused on the school board meeting that Mayor McTaggart and Mayor ProTem Ferraro attended where the concern was for the cost of housing for the additional students. It was the consensus that this proposed legislation would probably need some amendments to allow for financial help for the school districts involved. Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro, to support AB401 City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 10 and request that Assemblyman Kuykendall consider funding because of the impact on the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. Motion carried. Legislative Activity: AB 147 - Local Agency Borrowing; and AB 120 - Bunker Tax (306 x 1101) Senior Analyst Otto presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendations to 1) Join the League of California Cities in opposing SB 147 (Ayala) which proposes to require local agencies to submit every capital financing transaction to a referendum vote. 2) Join the Cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach in supporting AB 120 (Kuykendall) which proposes to extend the bunker fuel (ocean vessel fuel) tax exemption indefinitely. Councilman Byrd moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to approve staff recommendations. Motion carried. Policy for the Selection of Consultants to Provide Professional Services (1204) Director Evans presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendation to approve a qualifications -based selection policy for the engagement of professional consultant services (for non - Federal or State funded contract) utilizing an evaluation process weighted 75% professional qualifications and 25% familiarity with the City; then negotiating fees, scope of work and level of effort with the most qualified firm. Council inquiries and comments dealt with clarifying the difference between consulting services and engineering expertise; whether using firms familiar with the City insured that the City was getting the best price; the benefits in hiring a firm in close proximity to the City because it was necessary to pay a consultant portal to portal; and, to change the weighting evaluation process to 80 - 20. Finally, it was the consensus to work with this policy for six months and that staff should report back to the Council with any modifications they see fit. Resol. No. 97 -18 - Sidewalk Repair Program and Tree Removal Policies (1204 x 1405 x 1407) Director Evans presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendations to 1) Place a cap /maximum of $500 for any single sidewalk repair assessment; 2) Waive assessments for repeat repairs if the same work was performed City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 11 in the past 10 years; 3) Provide installment options, interest free, for any assessment over $300; and 4) Waive assessments for low income residents; and, 5) Adopt Resolution 97 -18, approving a new tree removal policy and guidelines. Council inquiries clarified that there was an option which allowed homeowners to make these repairs themselves and, with regard to the question about the use of CDBG funds for low to moderate income homeowners, it was the consensus that staff would research this matter. Mayor ProTem Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilman Byrd to approve staff recommendations and adopt Resolution No. 97 -18 of the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes Establishing A tree Removal Policy. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Lyon, Byrd, Ferraro, Hollingsworth, and Mayor McTaggart NOES: None Tentative Tract Map No. 46628 - Establishing date to consider "information Only" Map - Palos Verdes Drive West and Hawthorne Boulevard (1203 x 1411) Director Petru presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendation to establish a date prior to March 20, 1997 to conduct an adjourned meeting to consider the applicant's request for a substantial conformance determination regarding the approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map and the issuance of a 4d permit to allow coastal sage scrub habitat to be removed from the site Representing J. M. Peter Co. was was Bob Trapp, 4100 MacArthur Blvd., Newport Beach, who referred to his February 26 letter requesting that the Council meet to consider a modification to their plan originally approved by the Council in March 1992. Council commented that holding such a meeting did not signal approval one way or the other for the 4D permit being requested by the J. M. Peters Company. It was the consensus of Council to hold an adjourned meeting on March 11. Resol, No. 97 -19 - Proposition 208 - Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling for Elections (301 x 501) City Clerk Purcell presented the staff memorandum of March 4, 1997 and the recommendation to consider whether Council should take the following actions: 1) City Council Minutes March 4, 1997 Page 12 introduce an ordinance Establishing a Voluntary Campaign Expenditure Ceiling for Elections to City Offices and Amending the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code; and, 2) Adopt the proposed resolution Establishing the Number of Residents of the City for the Purpose of Determining the Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling for City Elections, as set forth in Section 2.30.010, et seq. of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code. Council discussion focused on whether the spending limit should be set at $1.00 per resident or if it would be more realistic to make set at $1 per household unit to encourage more economical types of campaigns by council candidates. It was argued, however, that setting the expenditure limit too low would encourage the proliferation of independent committees which was viewed as undesirable. Mayor Pro Tem Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilman Byrd to adopt Resol. No. 97- 19 Establishing the Number of Residents of the City for the Purpose of Determining the Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling for City Elections, as set forth in Section 2.30.010, et seq.
