AUDIENCE QUESTION Chris Wuerker, 4036 Via Pima, Palos Verdes
Street Use Estates, representing the Peninsula 4-H Clubs,
(208) requested permission from Council for a 4-H
sponsored walk and bike ride on Palos Verdes
Drives South and West on November 3, 1974 to
help pay medical expenses for William Wilcox,
son of Peninsula residents, who was seriously
burned recently. The Council approved the
request subject to any City departmental
requirements.
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONE ORD. AMEND. The Clerk reporting notice given with evidence
VETERINARY CLINICS on file, Mayor Ryan opened the hearing on a
(1801) proposed amendment to allow veterinary clinics
in C-1 zones with a conditional use permit.
Dr. Bernard Lauloff having previously appeared before the Council in favor of the proposal,
with a proposed lease of space in Golden Cove, indicated he had no new information to
present. Dr. Dennis Moore, 6532 Via Sienna, Rancho Palos Verdes, spoke in opposition,
indicating he believed there was a definite need for veterinary clinics within the City
but felt there was a misunderstanding since he had been requested to wait for General
Plan completion when he _inquired about locating in the City. Receiving no further com-
ments or questions from the audience, the Mayor declared the hearing closed.
In discussion by Council, Councilman Ruth said he would like to see a clinic supported
by a number of doctors rather than limited to one practice. Councilman Ryan expressed
concern that it was difficult to determine the real needs of the City based on available
information.
It was then moved by Councilman Dyda, seconded by Councilman Ryan, and carried, that no
action be taken until such time as the City's zoning ordinance is developed after com-
pletion of the General Plan.

SETBACK MODIFICATION APPEAL Council received an appeal from the Planning
(1803) Advisory Committee concerning denial of Set-
back Modification No. 26. Applicant Nick
Trani and his attorney, Herb Abrams, presented plans and pictures of the property
located at 4329 Via Frascati and urged Council to grant the request on the basis of
hardship. The Planning Director reviewed the Planning Advisory Committee action,
noting the proposed modification would allow only 12 feet of the required 20 foot
front yard setback, and the Committee felt there were sufficient alternate designs.
On a motion by Councilman Dyda, seconded by Mayor Ryan, and carried, the Council
upheld Planning Advisory Committee's action and denied the appeal. It was suggested
Mr. Trani go back to Planning Advisory Committee with alternate plans.
ARCHERY RANGE Mr. George Zidbeck, 421 W. 224th, Carson,
(1801) spoke on behalf of the South Bay Archery
Club requesting the use of 12 acres in the
Portuguese Bend slide area for an archery range. The Assistant City Attorney said
the range is included in the interim moratorium zone and also would require a con-
ditional use permit.
On motion of Councilman Dyda, seconded by Councilman Ruth, and carried, the Council
deferred any action until such time as the City zoning ordinance is developed after
completion of the General Plan.

recess. Council reconvened at 9:30 p.m. with
the same members present.
