by another agency. Since Rancho Palos Verdes contracts with the County Sheriff and
is part of the Fire Protection District, the County will be preparing the City's 911
System. Staff recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed minute resolution.

state funding, since this was a state mandated program. The motion was seconded by
Councilwoman Hein and carried unanimously.
Mayor Dyda moved, seconded by Councilman Buerk, to adopt the proposed minute order

VARIANCE NO. 27 Director Hightower presented the staff
APPLICANT: ALL CITIES ENGINEERING memorandum of June 6, 1978 which indicated
LOCATION: TRACT NO. 22946 that the Planning Commission denied this
(1804 x 1411) variance for the inability to make all
necessary findings; however at the same
meeting the Planning Commission approved
parcel map 10241 which allowed for two lots. The applicant was now appealing the
Commission's denial of the variance for the third lot which was below the minimum
871
lot size. In light of the fact that no significant or new information had been sub-
mitted: since there was nothing exceptional or extraordinary about this land: that
no substantial property right of the applicant was being jeopardized: and, that grant-
ing a variance of this type would be in conflict with the General Plan, staff recom-
mended that the Council affirm the decision of the Commission and dismiss the appeal.
Mr. Darwin Cooper, the appellant and landowner, described the terrain of this property
and explained the proposed building for this lot.
Council inquired of Mr. Cooper if he had any new evidence to present to Council sup-
porting his appeal for this variance. Mr. Cooper responded in the negative.
Councilman Buerk moved,that in view of the fact that no additional information had
been presented that could reverse the Planning Commission's decision, that the appeal
be dismissed and the decision of the Planning Commission affirmed. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried unanimously.
ADOPTION OF UNIFORM SOLAR Planning Director Hightower told the Council
ENERGY CODE that in response to their request, she had
(201) reviewed the Uniform Solar Energy Code which
was adopted by Los Angeles County on March 30,
1978. It was staff's recommendation that
the Council request the City Attorney to draft an ordinance adopting a similar code.
Councilwoman Shaw so moved. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried
unanimously.
