(FF) The Planning Commission asked that this item be continued to August 23, 1994 due to the heavy agenda that evening. Director Bernard added that the applicant had requested a fee waiver from the City Council, but the request was denied and a late letter was received from Mr. Dytrt on this subject. Staff was still awaiting receipt of the required fees before the Planning Commission takes action on this item. Therefore, Director Bernard requested that the item be continued until September 13, 1994. Vice Chairman Mowlds moved to Open the Public Hearing, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 2 seconded by Commissioner Vannorsdall. Approved (6-0). Paul Scala, 6405 Le Blanc Place, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mr. Scala stated that he was against the Variance and Staff's recommendation. Director Bernard indicated that Staff had not issued a Staff Report nor made a recommendation on this project since the necessary fees had not been paid or waived by the City Council. Therefore, Mr. Scala was speaking before the applicant had a chance to present his case. Mr. Scala said that he had asked for Code Enforcement against the property in question for the last nine months and Mr. Bernard's response was to file a lawsuit against him for an approved pool enclosure that had been built 15 years before. City Attorney Craig Steele told Mr. Scala that he seemed to be getting off the subject and suggested that he come back to speak when the item was actually being considered by the Planning commission. Mr. Scala presented to Staff photographs showing the view from his property. Vice Chairman Mowlds moved to continue this item to September 13, 1994, seconded by Commissioner Ferraro. Approved (6-0). C. REVISIONS TO VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NOS. 50666 AND 50667 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NOS. 162 AND 163 GRADING PERMIT NO. 1541, AND (NEW) VARIANCE NO. 380 (OCEAN TRAILS,); Palos Verdes Land Holdings Company, Inc. and Zuckerman Building Company, Coastal Subregions 7 and 8. (CP) Commissioner Ferraro recused herself from hearing this item because her home is within 2,500 feet of the proposed project. Planning Administrator Petru presented the Staff Report. She explained additional materials presented to the Planning Commission after they received the Staff Report. She concluded her presentation with a request for direction from the Planning Commission on those areas highlighted in the Staff Report where changes to the project were proposed to be made. Chairman Alberio Opened the Public Hearing and asked that, in the interest of time, if there were groups of speakers expressing the same thoughts, that one person be chosen to present these ideas. He added that, of course, each person would still be free to speak if they felt it was important to do so. Michael Mohler, Applicant, Project Manager for Ocean Trails, 25200 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 3 La Paz, Suite 210, Laguna Hills, CA 92653. Mr. Mohler expressed his opinion on various proposed changes. 1. Clubhouse He did not feel that it was practical to split the parking lot on either side of the clubhouse, as suggested by Staff, and felt that signage would be adequate identification for the public park. He suggested that parking and recreational activities be located away from Forrestal Creek for environmental reasons. He stressed that the facility was intended to be more than just a golf course and felt that the golfers should not have priority over the general public, as this was a combination public/commercial facility. He agreed that it would be a good idea to have more public rest room facilities on the lower level of the clubhouse. They had requested a Variance for a maximum of 50' clubhouse height but the Staff Report indicated a 38' maximum building. Mr. Mohler was now asking for a 40' maximum building height, with a provision for not more than 20% of the roof area to exceed this height to a maximum of 481. 2. Affordable Housing Complex Mr. Mohler acknowledged an error in their plans and said that they would certainly be enclosing garages. He believed that grasscrete would not be appropriate for the affordable housing parking area because of the heavy usage of this area. 3. Maintenance Facility Mr. Mohler indicated that additional parking spaces were being provided at the maintenance facility to provide flexibility and plenty of overflow parking for banquets. He was opposed to rotating the maintenance building because adjacent residences across the highway would be looking at only the roof of the structure. 4. Public Amenities Page 16 of the Staff Report discussed an additional public rest room used during daylight hours only in conjunction with parking area at La Rotonda Drive/Paseo del Mar but he said he would rather have it further into the golf course to be courteous to Ocean Terraces. If the language was changed to "in the vicinity of" and if there were proper signs, he would agree with this condition. On the subject of trails, Mr. Mohler said that, because of the lengthy process with the Coastal Commission, he was not proposing deletion of any trails, specifically Mariposa Lily Point Trail. He added that he was in favor of an alternative handicap trail east of Half Way Point Park to avoid grading on the bluff face. He explained that a Runoff Management Plan had been filed with the City and that the County had already reviewed it. Steven Royse, Architect for Ocean Trails Clubhouse, Klages Carter Vail & Partners, 200 Baker Street, Suite 201, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Mr. Royse said that he believed the design of the building related to the heritage, tradition and architecture of Rancho Palos Verdes, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 4 with its plaster walls, tile roof, Palos Verdes stone, wrought iron, ceramic tile and appropriate colors. The clubhouse was proposed to be located between the golf course and Half Way Point Park. He noted that the views from the clubhouse would be spectacular and that the structure would resemble a very large single family residence. He described the floor plans of the first and second stories. He explained that there was a bar and grill, large dining areas, and a banquet room, capable of being split into different configurations in order to accommodate different sized functions. Commissioner Wang asked what was the capacity of the banquet facility and Mr. Royse said about 300 persons, depending on how the tables were arranged. Robert Agli, President, Ocean Terrace Condominium Association, 3200 La Rotonda Drive, #115, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mr. Angli was representing a large contingency of Association members, of which about 15-20 were present. Mr. Agli stated that he submitted a written statement to the Planning Commission prior to the meeting and that the Ocean Terrace Condominium Association supported the project except for one point. They objected to the public parking area being located in front of their buildings on La Rotonda Drive and had been working with Staff on this situation. Commissioner Wang asked if the parking location had been changed and Planning Administrator Petru said that it had been moved to the west side of the cul-de-sac on La Rotonda Drive. Dorothy Karfs, 3200 La Rotonda Drive, #104, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mrs. Karfs had written a letter on August 1, 1994 and was unhappy about the parking at that time. However, she said that she and her husband were satisfied since the parking spaces had been relocated and felt Ocean Trails would be a beautiful facility and a wonderful addition to their neighborhood. Ed Kennedy, 2713 Vista Mesa Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mr. Kennedy stated that he was speaking as a private citizen, not as the Chairman of the Rancho Palos Verdes Recreation and Parks Committee. He expressed approval of the improvements from the plan previously approved by the City and felt that Half Way Point Park would be the jewel in the crown of Rancho Palos Verdes parks. However, he agreed that the clubhouse rest room facilities were inadequate. He added his support to the parking lot change near Ocean Terraces and mentioned that he was concerned about the public being able to safely use the trails adjacent to the golf course. Barbara Ferraro, President, Mediterrania Homeowners Association, 3530 Seaglen Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mrs. Ferraro commented that the clubhouse was a beautiful design but agreed that there PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1494 PAGE 5 were not enough public rest rooms on the lower floor. She said that Planning Administrator Petru's Staff Report contained data from Los Angeles County regarding the number of rest rooms required, and the requirement for a five -acre park, like Half Way Point Park, would be four stalls per gender. She added her support of the alternative handicap trail to avoid grading the face of the bluff. Kay Bara, Coastal Conservation Coalition, 1 Peppertree Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mrs. Bara was concerned that 100' bluff top corridor was too narrow and preferred 3001, because of cliff erosion. She felt that a wider buffer would eliminate the need for protective fencing and, where public protection was necessary, she suggested substituting vegetation instead. Richard Bara, 1 Peppertree Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mr. Bara also protested the narrowness of the bluff top buffer zones. He said that the eastern side was 1001 and it was originally to be 100 meters, which he supported, and that the western side was only 251. He added that the 251 would be quickly be reduced to zero from cliff erosion. He also expressed concern about protection of the hikers from stray golf balls. Frank Angel, Attorney representing the Coastal Conservation Coalition, 10951 West Pico Boulevard, Third Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90064. Mr. Angel said that he believed relocation of the clubhouse would require a major revision to the Conditional Use Permit, that a supplemental EIR should be prepared instead of an Addendum EIR and expressed concern that there had been no application for a Coastal Permit. Angelika Brinkmann-Buri, California Native Plant Society, 1354 Stonewood Court, San Pedro, CA 90732. Ms. Brinkmann-Susi considered the relocation of clubhouse a significant change to the project and was also concerned about the narrow bluff top buffers and protecting the plants and wildlife in the area. Specifically, she was concerned about increased noise levels which could affect the birds in the area and the fact that additional trails down the bluff face to the shoreline would accelerate erosion. Lois Large, 3136 Barkentine Road, Rancho Palos Verdes. Ms. Larue expressed her opposition to the golf course, but supported the housing project. She felt that the golf course was illegal, a violation of Coastal Specific Plan, and a toxic waste site. Stephen Carpenter, 6230 Scotmist Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mr. Carpenter was interested in protection of the coastal sage scrub habitat and discussed the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, the gnatcatcher, and the cactus wren. He stressed that the larvae of the blue butterfly live on loco weed and, therefore, this plant PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 6 would need to be protected also. Commissioner Vannorsdall asked Mr. Carpenter if he was representing a group and he said that he was a private Rancho Palos Verdes resident who enjoyed hiking on the peninsula and had learned about the vegetation and animals. He said that he did not want to see mistakes repeated with regard to endangered species. George Fink, 3213 Searaven Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mr. Fink expressed his approval of the project except for a few points. He objected to the minimum trail widths because he believed that erosion to the bluff tops would reduce the narrow corridor to no corridor within a few months. He was disappointed to see changes from the last City approval which would increase traffic congestion at Forrestal Drive and Palos Verdes Drive South. Mr. Fink felt that the City's height limits for the clubhouse were generous enough that a Variance should not be granted. Marilee Spargur, 32503 Seacliff Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes. Mrs. Spargur supported the project, but had concerns about the maintenance building being placed directly behind her home. She said that, since this structure was not going to be inhabited, it would not have to meet the 1.5 geology safety factor and could be built somewhere else on the property. She was worried about noise impacts and protecting her view. Director Bernard informed the Planning Commission that three additional letters had been received during the public hearing, from Mrs. Spargur, Ms. Paula Miklovik, and Dr. Syeds. Chairman Alberio stated that the letters would be entered into the public record. RECESS AND RECONVENE Recessed at 8:27 P.M. and reconvened at 8:45 P.M. Chairman Alberio asked for comments from the Staff in response to the questions raised by speakers during the public hearing. Planning Administrator Petru made comments in response to various speakers. In respect to Mike Mohler's comments, Ms. Petru asked Mr. Mohler to repeat the proposed height of the clubhouse and said that she agreed with him that the additional height would probably not have an impact on views from existing surrounding homes. However, even at the original height proposed, there would be a small impact to the lots at the end of the cul-de-sac located above the clubhouse, particularly from Lot 7. She added that the developer was in PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 7 control of this, but Lot 7 potentially had a spectacular view which could be a factor in marketing. Ms. Petru said that grasscrete was only one possibility to be used in the affordable housing area and that other materials could be used in order to avoid too much asphalt, i.e. an institutional appearance. The reason for rotating the maintenance building was to place the equipment bay doors in the direction of the golf course rather than facing the public road and to place the narrow end of the building toward Palos Verdes Drive South. Regarding the Mariposa Lily Point Trail, Staff did not mean to imply during the oral Staff Report that the developer was trying to eliminate this trail. Ms. Petru said that Staff felt that an alternate trail should be provided in another portion of the site in order to protect the sensitive plants in this area. Although Planning Administrator Petru was not responding directly to Mr. Kennedy's statements, they did jog her memory about three vista point turnouts on Palos Verdes Drive South. One of these would be on the landward side of the road which the City Council had required to be a vehicular turnout. However, because there was not a grade separation between the two directions of traffic, a dangerous situation may be created for pedestrians who would be tempted to park on the landward side and jaywalk across Palos Verdes Drive South to get to the trails. Ms. Petru asked the Planning Commission whether or not they wanted to make a change and, if the parking spaces were eliminated, if they had suggestions for an alternative location in order to maintain the total number of parking spaces associated with the project. In addition, the Coastal Commission Staff agreed that a typographical error had been made which indicated that a trail down Paseo del Mar near the clubhouse was on the west side of the road, but should be on the east side, again to avoid unsafe jaywalking. In regard to Mr. Agli's comments, he had suggested that the La Rotonda parking lot be locked at night and this was one of the conditions that had been required by the City. However, she explained that the issue of permit parking on La Rotonda Drive should be addressed separately from this project. In response to Mr. Angel's statement about a lack of a Coastal Permit, Ms. Petru explained that there was a Coastal Permit Revision application submitted by the developer. However, it was not processed because, once Coastal Permit No. 103 was appealed to the Coastal Commission and this agency found that the appeal raised "substantial issues", the Coastal Commission took jurisdiction over the permit. Therefore, the City was not able to issue another Coastal Permit for this project. The developer will have to file separate amendments with the Coastal Commission in order make revisions to the Tentative Tract Map and related applications valid. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 8 To answer the concerns of Ms. Brinkmann-Busi regarding the coastal bluff trails down to the shoreline, Planning Administrator Petru reported that the City was in favor of only one of these trails, off the east side of Half Way Point Park, and that the other three trails were added by the Coastal Commission. She explained that Staff opposition was based on the same problems Ms. Brinkmann-Busi mentioned, which were erosion and potential damage to the delicate plant species on the bluff -face, as well as public safety concerns. With regard to Mr. Carpenter's comments about the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, Ms. Petru informed the Commission, if they were not already aware, that the Palos Verdes blue butterfly was found again by Dr. Rudi Mattoni, a leading expert on this butterfly, as part of a survey funded by the City's Redevelopment Agency. Dr. Mattoni was consulted regarding the likelihood that the blue butterfly might be found on the Ocean Trails site and he indicated that the chances were very low, to non-existent. In response to Ms. Spargur's comments, Planning Administrator Petru said that, even though the maintenance structure would not be considered "habitable" space, the City Council made a policy decision when the project was first approved, that any structure used by the public or golf course employees would be required to be located on an area with a minimum factor of safety of at least 1. 5, except for very small out -buildings or rest rooms that were part of the golf course. Michael Mohler returned to the podium for rebuttal and thanked Ms. Petru for her clarifications and apologized for the error regarding deletion of the Mariposa Lily Point trail. With respect to grasscrete, Mr. Mohler asked that, if the Commission were inclined to use this surface, it should be limited to the auxiliary lot only. He wanted to make sure that it was understood that only Mrs. Spargur's foreground view was threatened, not her ocean view. Mr. Mohler explained that they were requesting a 401 Clubhouse height, with permission to exceed that height to a maximum of 48f, for only 20% of the roof area. With respect to the view at Lot 7, Mr. Mohler said that the buyer would know he would be looking at a structure before he purchased the lot. He said that they would prefer not to change the buffer zone width along the bluff top. Commissioner Vannorsdall asked Mr. Mohler why he was opposed to rotating maintenance building, as suggested by Staff, and he said that the factors were flow of traffic and security. There was a discussion between commissioner Vannorsdall and Mr. Mohler regarding safety of the hikers near the golf course and it was concluded that it would not be possible to address this issue until other major decisions were finalized by the City Council and Coastal Commission. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 9 Vice chairman Mowlds asked Mr. Mohler if he would enclose all the parking garages at the affordable housing and he said yes. Vice Chairman Mowlds inquired whether Mr. Mohler would be willing to build the rest room at the La Rotonda parking lot further into the golf area, for use by the golfers as well, and Mr. Mohler said he would be willing to do this. Vice Chairman Mowlds asked Mr. Mohler if he would be willing to build another rest room closer to the trails to keep hiker traffic out of the clubhouse and Mr. Mohler said that he would not prefer that alternative since they wanted to encourage the public to enter the clubhouse. Vice Chairman Mowlds proposed that, if the clubhouse rest rooms were enlarged, the Commission would allow a 20% increase in square footage of the building, if the Director agreed, and Mr. Mohler said, although they would accept a 20% increase, they could enlarge the rest rooms without additional square footage or decreasing the revenue-producing areas of the clubhouse. Vice Chairman Mowlds asked about a Runoff Management Plan and Planning Administrator Petru replied that such a draft plan had already been submitted to the City. Chairman Alberio wondered if a traffic light might be needed at Forrestal Drive and Palos Verdes Drive South and Director Bernard answered that this was discussed with the developer but that no conclusion had been reached as yet. Chairman Alberio asked about restricting public parking in the bicycle rest stop on the landward side of Palos Verdes Drive South and Planning Administrator Petru said that soil berm or boulders could be placed to block the driveway entrance into the restricted areas. Chairman Alberio asked if the Coastal Commission Staff had requested the handicapped loop trail and Planning Administrator Petru said the loop concept was conceptually acceptable to them to avoid excessive grading on the bluff face. Chairman Alberio was concerned about noise from the maintenance building and Planning Administrator Petru said that although any noise impacts would be insignificant, they would be further minimized by lowering the building pad below Palos Verdes Drive South and turning the building to face the golf course. Chairman Alberio asked Planning Administrator Petru if the Coastal Commission had accepted that change and Ms. Petru indicated that they must approve any changes through a separate amendment process. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 10 Before he left the podium, Mr. Mohler stated that he would be willing to accept the rotation of the maintenance building. Vice Chairman Mowlds asked what objections the Coastal commission Staff had to the project in general. Planning Administrator Petru said there were two areas of concern: (1) that the new location of the clubhouse would hide the park from the public and (2) that the loss of the Mariposa Lily Point Trail and handicap access down the bluff face should be substituted with alternate bluff top trails of equivalent length. Commissioner Wang inquired if relocation of the clubhouse would require a new Conditional Use Permit. Planning Administrator Petru responded that an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit would be required. Vice Chairman Mowlds moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Commissioner Whiteneck. Approved (5-0), with commissioner Ferraro abstaining since she lives near the proposed project. Vice Chairman Mowlds asked about the height of the clubhouse building and the required number of parking spaces and how these issues related to the new Development Code requirements. Planning Administrator Petru said that the reason Staff did not use the proposed Development Code revisions for the clubhouse height was because this project requires a Variance. However, the parking space requirements were taken from the proposed Development Code revisions because golf course parking requirements had not existed in the past. Vice Chairman Mowlds wondered if the bluff top buffer zone widths were reviewed by Coastal Commission and Planning Administrator Petru answered that the existing 100 foot requirement came from the Coastal Commission. Vice Chairman Mowlds, with Commissioner Whiteneck's concurrence, expressed doubts that grasscrete was an appropriate solution to improve the appearance of the affordable housing parking area and suggested that plants be used to separate the asphalt into smaller areas. The Planning Commission decided to take a straw vote on various aspects of the project. Vice chairman Mowlds suggested that the clubhouse remain at its present location. Approved (5-0). PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 11 Vice Chairman Mowlds believed all the parking garages at the low income housing should be enclosed, as the developer had agreed to do. Approved (5-0). Vice Chairman Mowlds proposed an additional rest room at the La Rotonda parking area, at a location to be decided later. Approved (5-0) . The Commission decided to make no changes in the trails. Approved (5-0) . The Commission discussed the 40' Clubhouse height, with a 20% section of the roof to be a maximum of 48' Approved (5-0). Chairman Alberio proposed an enlarged rest room area in the clubhouse. Approved (5-0) Vice Chairman Mowlds suggested that grasscrete should not be used, at least in the affordable housing parking lot. Approved (5-0). Chairman Alberio stated that protecting the public using the trails from flying golf balls would come up later and the other Commission members agreed. After a short discussion, the Commission agreed that the maintenance building would be rotated 90 degrees. Approved (5-0). A discussion regarding splitting the parking lot on either side of the clubhouse resulted in a decision to leave the parking lot as originally designed. Approved (5-0). The Planning Commission decided to leave the bluff top buffer zones at the originally -proposed width. Approved (5-0). Planning Administrator Petru asked that, even though there was a straw vote to approve the trails as currently proposed, the trail at Mariposa Lily Point was not specifically addressed. She asked the Commissioners if they would like to leave that trail in or select an alternative trail site. The Planning Commission decided to eliminate the Mariposa Lily Point Trail and to provide an alternative trail at Half Way Point Park. Approved (5-0). Director Bernard asked the Commission if they wanted to allow a 20% increase in square footage and 10% increase in footprint, with Director review. Approved (5-0) Chairman Alberio asked Planning Administrator Petru if she had sufficient information for the Resolutions and she said yes, and PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 12 that the Resolutions would be submitted to the Planning Commission for review at the August 23, 1994 meeting. Chairman Alberio wondered if a special Planning Commission meeting should be set up to have the Resolutions reviewed before the next City Council meeting on August 16, 1994. Director Bernard explained that Planning Administrator Petru had worked 43 hours of overtime on this project during the last few weeks and that there were seven different resolutions to be written at this time, with a total of 400 to 500 conditions. He did not feel it was possible to present these Resolutions to the Planning Commission for review before the next City Council meeting on August 16, 1994. Instead, he suggested that the Resolutions be submitted for review at the August 23, 1994 Planning commission meeting and, subsequently, at the September 6, 1994 City Council meeting. Chairman Alberio agreed that the Resolutions would be returned to the Planning Commission on August 23, 1994. Mr. Michael Mohler agreed that, although he would like to have the City Council review the project earlier, he understood the amount of work involved. Vice Chairman Mowlds, on behalf of the Planning Commission, commended Planning Administrator Petru on her extraordinary effort and felt strongly that the project would never progressed this far without her hard work. Director Bernard expressed the need to re -open the public hearing and continue the item to August 23, 1994 when the Resolutions would be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Chairman Re -opened the Public Hearing and continued this item to August 23, 1994 for consideration of the draft P.C. Resolutions. Commissioner Ferraro returned to the dais. ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON FUTURE AGENDAS A. STAFF 1. Pre -Agenda for the August 23, 1994, meeting. B. COMMISSION - NONE COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE (regarding non -agenda items) Lois Larue spoke about the Palos Verdes blue butterfly and provided PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 13 a copy of the Redondo Beach Planning Commission Rules of Order. Director Bernard expressed appreciation to Mr. Craig Steele, from the City Attorney's office, for being present at the meeting, especially with very little notice. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Whiteneck moved, seconded by Vice Chairman Mowlds, to adjourn. Motion carried and the meeting was duly adjourned at 10:09 P.M. to the next regular meeting on August 23, 1994.
