RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the 2011 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2011 CIP (see attachment A)was reviewed by the City Council on June tho The Five-
Year CIP includes $21.6 million of funded improvements of roadways,storm drains,
facilities,parks and trails,as well as updates and development of infrastructure planning
documents.
After the City Council's review on June t h ,two projects were added to the funded schedule
in the CIP,as follows:
~Ladera Linda Site Master Planning,$100,000 per City Council direction (page 18 of
the CIP document);and
~Eastview Park Playground and Accessibility Improvements,$240,000 (page 47 of
the CIP document).
The City was recently notified that County Supervisor Knabe has approved a Measure A

eligible project,Staff recommends funding the Eastview Park Playground and Accessibility
Improvements with an estimated cost of $240,000.Staff further recommends that the
Capital Improvement Projects Reserve be used to fund the $90,000 difference between the
grant award and the estimated project cost.
If the City Council adopts the proposed FY11-12 budget as presented on this same
agenda,the projects in the FY11-12 column of the CIP will be appropriated (see page 11 of
the document).Because CIP planning is a dynamic process,projects in the remaining four
years of the CIP will likely change.The CIP document is updated annually.The City
Council appropriates projects one year at a time by adopting an annual budget.
A list of identified projects with a total cost range of $70 million to $105 million remains
unfunded (see page 49 of the document).As funding becomes available,the City Council
may consider moving projects to the funded list.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)is a guide for the efficient and effective provision of
resources for improving and maintaining public infrastructure and facilities.Programming
capital facilities and improvements over time can promote better use of the City's limited
financial resources,reduce costs and assist in the coordination of public and private
development.Based on the guidelines of the framework and those set forth by the City
Council,Staff developed an inventory of capital projects.This inventory was compiled
through a comprehensive review of existing reports,infrastructure plans,community input
and City Council direction.Some of these plans include the following:the Pavement
Management System,Vision Plan,Sanitary Sewer Master Plan,Public Use Master Plan,
Trails Network Plan,Storm Drain Master Plan and the General Plan.
The 2011 Five-Year CIP Schedule (page 11 of the CIP document)has been integrated into
the 2011 Five-Year Financial Model presented to City Council for adoption on this same
agenda.As required by law,the Planning Commission conducted its review of the CIP at
its meeting on May 24,2011.The Planning Commission adopted P.C.Resolution No.
2011-22,finding that the City's 2011 CIP is consistent with the goals and policies of the
General Plan.

INTRODUCTION
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a guide toward the efficient and effective provision of public
infrastructure and facilities. Programming capital facilities and improvements over time can
promote better use of the City’s limited financial resources, reduce costs and assist in the
coordination of public and private development. In addition, the planning process is valuable as a
means of coordinating and taking advantage of joint planning and development of facilities and
infrastructure where possible. Careful management of these assets keeps the City poised for
flexible and responsive strategic planning that allows the City to proactively prepare the
groundwork for capital projects so when funding opportunities arise, a plan is ready to be
implemented. By looking beyond year-to-year budgeting and projecting what, where, when and
how capital investments should be made, capital planning enables public organizations to
maintain an effective level of service for the present and future population.
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
The result of this continuing planning process is the CIP, which is the City’s five-year roadmap for
creating, maintaining, and funding present and future infrastructure requirements. The CIP
addresses the City’s needs relating to the acquisition, expansion, and rehabilitation of long-lived
facilities and infrastructure. The CIP serves as a planning instrument in conjunction with the
City’s General Plan and the City Council’s Tactical Goals to identify needed capital projects and
coordinate the financing and timing of improvements in a way that maximizes the return to the
public. It provides a planned systematic approach to utilizing the City’s financial resources in the
most responsive and efficient manner to meet its service and facility needs. It serves as the
“blueprint” for the future of the community and is a management and planning tool, rather than a
binding document.
The underlying strategy of the CIP is to plan for necessary land acquisition, construction and
maintenance of public facilities necessary for the safe and efficient provision of public services in
accordance with City policies and objectives adopted in the City’s General Plan. A critical
element of a balanced CIP is the provision of funds to both preserve or enhance existing facilities
and provide new assets to respond to changing service needs and community growth. While the
program serves as the long range plan, it is reviewed and revised bi-annually in conjunction with
the budget. Priorities may be changed due to funding opportunities or circumstances that cause
a more rapid deterioration of an asset. Projects may be revised for significant costing variances.
The CIP is primarily a planning document to assist in the City’s long-term planning. As such, the
projects and their scopes are subject to change from year to year as the needs of the community
become more defined and projects move closer to final implementation. The adoption of the CIP
is neither a commitment to a particular project nor a limitation to a particular cost. As a basic tool
for scheduling anticipated capital projects, it is also a key element in planning and controlling
future capital financing. For this reason, the CIP includes some “unfunded” projects in which
needs have been identified, but specific solutions and funding have not been determined.
When adopted, the CIP provides the framework for the City’s management team and the City
Council with respect to investment planning, project planning and managing any debt. This
document is independent of the City Council’s tactical goals and is intended to serve as a long-
term planning document.
THE CIP PROCESS
The capital plan and budget is the result of an ongoing infrastructure planning process.
Infrastructure planning decisions must be made with regard to both existing and new facilities and
equipment. For existing facilities, the planning process addresses appropriate capital renewal
strategies and repair-versus-replacement of facilities. New service demands are also considered
since they often affect capital facility requirements. Planning for the five-year CIP period and
subsequent five years, includes linking the General Plan to the capital plan requirements,
conducting needs assessments and allowing for flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for
Page 4 of 90
capital investment. The FY11-12 through FY15-16 CIP is developed through input by
professional staff, citizens of Rancho Palos Verdes, and elected or appointed City officials.
CIP REVIEW TEAM
A CIP Review team is responsible for annually reviewing capital project requests and providing
recommendations to the City Manager. This team is comprised of staff from the Office of the City
Manager, Finance and Information Technology, Public Works, Community Development, and
Recreation and Parks departments, and the City Attorney. This team conducts an in-depth
analysis of the impact of the CIP on cash flow and financial obligations, as well as the City’s
ability to finance, process, design, and ultimately maintain projects. The team will also analyze
the fiscal impact for each individual project; including future maintenance and replacement costs,
associated monetary benefits (e.g. future maintenance savings), as well as any applicable future
revenue opportunities. The team meets periodically throughout the year to evaluate the progress
of projects, and examine future needs of the City.
The overall goal of the CIP Review Team is to develop CIP recommendations that:
Preserve the past, by investing in the continued upgrade of City assets and infrastructure;
Protect the present with improvements to City facilities and infrastructure;
Plan for the future.
Projects are identified by staff, professional consultants, residents or elected officials. There are
typically more proposals than can be funded in the five-year CIP period, so the team conducts an
internal project ranking process. The criteria used in this internal ranking includes, but is not
limited to, safety, support of essential City services, support of City’s goals, economy and
efficiency, outside funding committed or eligible, and community quality/sustainability. Projects
are prioritized and scored based on the criteria outlined in this plan in the following section. If a
project receives a lower ranking, there is no reason to believe that any damages will occur if the
project has not been completed. While ratings are important in determining recommended
projects, the realities of the City’s financial situation are critical to all decisions.
CIP CRITERIA
Safety: Enhance or improve the overall safety of the City and delivery of services. Protect the
health and welfare of residents.
Supports Essential City Services: Maintenance and development of existing or new facilities and
infrastructure which allows the City to deliver essential services to residents of Rancho Palos
Verdes.
Supports City Goals: Supports the goals annually established by the City Council in the Tactical
Plan. Meets citywide long-term goals and is in compliance with the City’s General Plan.
Economy and Efficiency: Maintain and enhance the economy and efficiency of providing services
in Rancho Palos Verdes. This criterion would include projects which improve business processes
and overall efficiency while also evaluating environmental impacts.
Outside Funding Committed or Eligible: Support a project which outside funding has been
committed to or may be obtained through restricted revenue sources.
Community Quality/Sustainability: Maintain and enhance the infrastructure and services which
supports our residential and business community. This criterion would include projects which
preserve and enhance the overall quality of life in Rancho Palos Verdes and projects which
ensure economic viability to support a sustainable community.
Page 5 of 90
CATEGORIES
Category 1: The project is urgent and/or mandated, and must be completed quickly. The City
could face severe consequences if the project is delayed, possibly impacting the health, safety, or
welfare of the community, or having a significant impact on the financial wellbeing of the City.
The project must be initiated or financial/opportunity losses will result.
Category 2: The project is important and addressing it is necessary. The project impacts safety,
law enforcement, health, welfare, economic base, and/or quality of life in the community.
Category 3: The project would enhance the quality of life and would provide a benefit to the
community. Completion of the project would improve the community providing cultural,
recreational, and/or aesthetic effects.
Category 4: The project would be an improvement to the community, but need not be completed
within a five-year CIP.
THE CIP CALENDAR
August-October Departments prepare CIP requests
November- January CIP Team reviews requests
February Recommendations developed to be included in the Five-Year
Model and Two-Year Budget
May Planning Commission Review

PROJECT LISTS
The CIP includes a comprehensive listing of all projects contained in the Five-Year CIP and also
projects beyond the Five-Year Period. Detailed project sheets are contained in the plan for all
projects included in the CIP. Another list of unfunded projects is also contained in the plan to
highlight the City’s needs beyond the five year period. Projects which are included in the CIP
were evaluated based on the criteria approved by the City Council and are in compliance with the
goals set forth in the City’s General Plan. Application of these criteria ensures that each project
recommended for Council consideration does indeed support the policy objectives of the City’s
long-term planning documents and identifies a basis for scheduling and allocation of resources.
Cost estimates have been developed for each project based on preliminary project descriptions,
and include all estimated costs for land acquisition, permits and inspections, project management
and project engineering, consultant design, construction, utilities, information technology
infrastructure and other associated project fees. Estimates are in today’s dollars.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICIES
Time Period
The Finance and Information Technology Department, in cooperation with all other City
Departments and the City Attorney, shall produce a working document designed to identify capital
needs bi-annually in conjunction with the budget process. This Five-Year Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) is submitted to the City Council to utilize in reviewing and prioritizing capital projects.
Page 6 of 90
Type of Project
Definition of a capital asset: An asset with a cost in excess of $5,000 and an expected useful life
of more than one year, such as automobiles, equipment, and furniture. These items will continue
to be included in the operating budget. Items such as automobiles, minor equipment, and
furniture will continue to be accounted for and funded using the Equipment Replacement Fund
and are not included in the capital improvement plan.
Definition of a capital project: A project expected to have a useful life greater than ten years and
an estimated cost of $100,000 or more. Capital projects include the construction, acquisition, or
major renovation of buildings, utility systems, or other structures, purchase of land, and major
landscaping projects.
Projects meeting the above definition will be included in the CIP document in addition to the City’s
two-year budget document. The information will be tied to the capital budget and totals for each
project in the CIP will be included in the capital budget.
Selecting the Projects for the CIP
The comprehensive capital project planning process has the following essential components:
The General Plan (Long-term Plan- 10 Years)
The Capital Improvement Plan (Mid-term Plan- 5 Years)
The Capital Budget (Short-term Plan- 1 Year)
City Council Tactical Plan (Long-term and Short-term- evaluated each year)
All projects selected for the CIP should be consistent with the goals identified in the City Council
Tactical Plan or as outlined in the City’s General Plan. The project selection process strives to
achieve a balanced plan for the community to include all necessary and high priority projects,
while also enhancing City services and facilities.
Operating Budget Impact Identified in the CIP
The operating impact of proposed capital projects, including personnel, operating expenditures,
capital outlay, and debt service, as applicable, will be identified in the CIP document and
considered in preparing the annual operating budget and Five-Year Financial Model.
Moving Projects from the CIP to the Capital Budget
All projects approved in the annual capital budget are appropriated at the estimated cost to
complete the project. At the end of each fiscal year, the remaining appropriation for uncompleted
portions of the project will be carried forward to subsequent fiscal years.
Staff will identify the estimated costs, potential funding sources, operating impact, and project
schedule for each capital project proposal before it is submitted to the City Council.
Staff will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with the development of the
operating budget. All costs for internal professional services needed to implement the CIP will be
included in the capital budget as part of the two-year budget document for the years the CIP is to
be implemented.
Cost tracking for components of the capital improvement program will be updated semi-annually
to ensure project completion against budget and established time lines.
Definition of Capital Budget Year
A capital budget year runs concurrent to the operating budget fiscal year beginning July 1st and
ending June 30th.
Types of Financing
The nature and cost of the project generally determine financing options as do projected revenue
resources. The following financing instruments could be used in the following preferred order:
Page 7 of 90
Outside funding that does not require repayment, including grants, federal, state and
county restricted funding (i.e. transportation funding), and donations
Developer Fees
City restricted revenue imposed by voters (i.e. environmental excise tax, storm drain user
fee)
Accumulated Fund Balances in Restricted Funds
General Fund
Debt secured by a Restricted Revenue Source
General Obligation Debt.
Remaining Balances
It is the City’s policy to apply restricted funding sources after a project is completed and final cost
is identified, or at the close of each fiscal year, whichever occurs first.
Evaluation of Capital Projects
Capital project and program reviews are to monitor existing project performance and to update
the five year CIP. Each project must be actively managed and semi-annual reports on the
physical and fiscal status of each project should be made available to the City Council in
conjunction with the budget adoption and Mid-Year Review.
Green Building Standards
As a way to create a more sustainable way of life, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes requires the
incorporation of green building principles and practices into the design, construction, and
operation of all City facilities, and to evaluate all land purchases for future development on the
basis of reducing environmental impacts whenever feasible.
Standards for Maintenance
It is important to have standards in place for the various infrastructure systems throughout the
City to maintain this investment and be positioned to provide adequate services for the residents
of Rancho Palos Verdes. Staff will develop maintenance standards and schedules as
appropriate.
Contingency Policy
The need for contingencies will be evaluated with each project and be included in the CIP on a
case-by-case basis.
Project Change Orders
Project change orders will be made in accordance with the policy stated in Section 02.44.25 of
the Municipal Code. This policy requires that specific purchasing procedures be followed and
City Council approval obtained for any amount over twenty-five thousand dollars.
GENERAL PLAN GOALS
The goals stated below are included in the City’s General Plan which serves as the City’s long-
term strategic planning tool. The General Plan is currently undergoing its first update since its
adoption. The Director of Community Development has advised the CIP Team that none of the
proposed revisions that have been under consideration will significantly impact the draft CIP
Framework. Staff has elected to refer to the current General Plan in the conjunction with the
development of the CIP Framework. All CIP projects should contribute to fulfilling one or more of

BUILDINGS AND OTHER FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Buildings and other facility improvements may include any proposed new City
facility or renovation or improvement of any existing City facilities. The City owns
and maintains twelve public buildings, including:
City Hall Administration Building at Upper Point Vicente Park
City Hall Community Development Building at Upper Point Vicente Park
City Hall trailer leased by Palos Verdes on the Net at Upper Point Vicente
Park
City Hall Emergency Communications Center trailer at Upper Point
Vicente Park
Fred Hesse Jr. Community Center Building
Pointe Vicente Interpretive Center (PVIC)
Ryan Park Building
Ladera Linda Community Center Buildings (5)
Except for PVIC, these buildings are 25 years old or older and showing the signs
of daily use. Many of the facilities were purchased from the school district or
transferred to the City from the federal government, and little to no improvements
have been made since their acquisition. It is important to perform adequate
maintenance to extend the life of these facilities. It will be necessary to renovate
these buildings as they age to meet the needs of the community and ensure that
all building and safety guidelines are satisfied. Point Vicente Interpretive Center,
the most recently remodeled City facility, was built in 1984 and expanded in
2005. The City Hall buildings and Ladera Linda Community Center buildings are
the best examples of buildings that are in great need of renovation to meet
organizational needs, comply with safety and code requirements, and comply
with all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. The projects listed on
the following pages have been developed based on individual staff assessments,
input from the community and professional consultants’ assessments and
studies.

PROJECT: HESSE PARK DROP CEILING
RETROFIT/REPLACEMENT
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: Hesse Park
DEPARTMENT: Public works
DESCRIPTION:
The drop ceiling at Hesse park consists of 1’X1’ heavy tiles
connected through a tongue-&-groove mesh. The ceiling is old
and deteriorating. In the past, portions of this ceiling showed signs
of failure and were repaired; however, the future sporadic failures
cannot be prevented unless the ceiling is replaced. Additionally,
the ceiling does not appear to be earthquake resistant. The tiles
are heavy and any abrupt failure of the ceiling tiles can cause
serious damage. This system is outdated and currently, most
architects do not recommend it. When compared to T-Bar type
ceilings, access to inside of the ceiling for maintenance purposes
is very labor intensive and, for major work, may need assistance
from ceiling installers.

PROJECT: CITYWIDE ADA TRANSITION PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION:
DEPARTMENT: Public works
DESCRIPTION:
The Citywide ADA Transition Plan, which is expected to be
presented to the City Council before the end of Fiscal Year 2010-
11, has a preliminary implementation cost estimate of $6,675,000.
This estimate does not include ADA improvements for the City Hall
and Ladera Linda Community Center since the new improvements
at those sites are expected to make the facilities fully accessible.
Additionally, this cost does not include the side walks and curb
ramps which are not at the intersections, as those improvements
are expected to be included in the roadway resurfacing programs.
The cost for programs and services accessibility is expected to be
covered through operating budgets and therefore is not included in
this total cost, either. The annual request of $400,000 will cover
highest priority improvements as set by the Department of Justice
guidelines. The first program will cover the cost of providing ADA
compliance access to City facilities starting with the removal of
safety hazards and severe barriers.

INTANGIBLE CAPITAL OUTLAY
Intangible Capital Outlay improvements may not have significant physical
substance, but they have more than minimal value and help the City in improving
operations or planning for the future. Projects that could be classified as
intangible capital outlay include the update or development of major planning
processes and documents, significant software purchases that may improve the
efficiency of business processes or large technology purchases that may improve
or enhance service delivery to citizens. This category includes two very
important projects, updates to the Storm Drain Master Plan and Pavement
Management Program, which both benefit the entire City.
Page 16 of 90
PROJECT: STORM DRAIN MASTER PLAN
UPDATE
TYPE: Intangible Capital Outlay
LOCATION: N/A
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
This project will improve the current Master Plan Update
developed in 2004. That plan provided an inventory of drains and
identified hydraulic deficiencies. The consultant identified projects
to correct these deficiencies, many of which were included in the
City’s Water Quality Flood Protection Program. The revenue from
the user fee collected through this program has been used to
develop solutions for many of these projects. This proposed
escalation will add data regarding the actual field condition of the
storm drains, consider the effects of projects already implemented,
and create a method for storing, retrieving and updating this type
of data electronically, using the City’s existing GIS system. The
goal is to provide a current and updateable model of the City’s
drainage system to better support identification and prioritization of
projects and maintenance efforts.

PROJECT: LADERA LINDA SITE MASTER
PLANNING
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: 32201 Forrestal Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 0275
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
A park master plan is a conceptual plan that will lay the groundwork
for the site’s long-term redevelopment and potential phased
implementation. The first step of this project involves a study of
community needs through public outreach along with contemplating
the City’s needs for public service facilities (examples of which are
public safety outpost, park ranger station, multipurpose rooms,
existing sports fields and trail head improvements, etc). The
second step will include programming and quantifying those needs,
followed by planning and preparing a concept master plan which
may be phased. The next step will be preparation of detailed design
plans and specifications for the improvements and demolition of the
existing buildings for which additional funds may be required.

ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
Roadway infrastructure is one of the most widely used major capital investments
of a municipality. Without a well-maintained street system, the transportation
needs of the public, business, industry and government cannot be met. The
roads are also part of a critical public safety need, and they contribute to the
general health and welfare of the community. Maintaining quality roadway
infrastructure is also important in maintaining property values. It has been shown
that property values tend to suffer from poorly maintained streets. Roadway
infrastructure includes residential streets, arterial streets and traffic safety
improvements. In the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, there are 33.68 miles of
arterial streets, 6.46 miles of collector streets and 103.31 miles of residential
streets. The total for all streets and alleys mileage is 143.44 centerline miles.
To manage the City’s residential and arterial streets, the City hires a consultant
to complete a full detailed assessment of all streets every three years. This
report, known as the Pavement Management System, helps to identify any
serious issues and provides the City with a rating for each street. The report
includes the overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The City of Rancho Palos
Verdes minimum standard for PCI for a municipal street system is 80. The City’s
current PCI is 84.2 based upon the PMS report prepared by Willdan &
Associates in 2009. Since 1997, the City has maintained a pavement rating
between 80 and 90. The report also helps in defining a schedule to complete the
work. The City has been divided into nine zones for residential streets, but in the
case of some areas, zones may be completed together in one year for added
efficiency.
Traffic signalization is also an important component to manage traffic safety in
the City. The City wholly owns fourteen traffic signals and nine other traffic
signals are jointly owned with neighboring jurisdictions. The Vision Plan adopted
by the City Council in 2008 calls for improvements of various traffic signals for
pedestrian safety and enhancement of trails network. Many of the projects
identified by the Vision Plan have been included in this plan.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
Public utilities improvements include the maintenance and development of utility
projects such as the City’s sanitary sewer system or the undergrounding of utility
lines. The City’s sanitary sewer system is essential for City operations, yet it has
not required significant expenditures in past years due to an inter-local
agreement with Los Angeles County for maintenance activities. The City owns
the system, but the County has the primary responsibility for ongoing
maintenance. The County collects a sewer fee from the City’s property owners
that Staff believes is inadequate to maintain the system. Although the County
maintains the City’s sewer system, the City retains responsibility for its operation,
public safety and welfare. The City, not the County, maintains legal and
regulatory responsibility (i.e. any state or federal fines resulting from spillage).
In preparation for this change, the City conducted a survey of the system, and in
2004 the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan was created to help in the management of
this asset. The study examined sample areas throughout the City and assessed
the overall system as “fair.” The inspection revealed root intrusion in the pipes
and cracking in the pipes, in addition to accumulated fats and grease clogging
certain areas. It appeared that the County had not been performing adequate
maintenance over the years. Without regular maintenance, overflows due to root
and grease blockages will occur. To minimize the potential for overflow and to
restore and maintain the system in “good” condition, a significant investment in
pipeline inspection, repair and maintenance is required. Because the County is
still primarily responsible for maintenance of the system, no projects have been
included for this system. However, the Sanitary Master Plan Update was
received and filed by the City Council on November 17, 2009. Future projects
may be proposed based on this assessment.
Page 32 of 90
STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
In June 2004, the City’s consulting engineers prepared an Update to the Storm
Drain Master Plan. The updated plan identified serious storm drain deficiencies
that required significant repair. The update identified 38 high-priority projects,
which were the basis for establishing a “user fee.” Since then, some projects
have been completed, and others have been reassessed to meet changing
priorities and needs. The 38 projects have been reevaluated resulting in
grouping the projects into 12 project areas. These are based on identifiable
drainage areas/systems, most of which are tied to natural canyon drainage
systems. Each project has been grouped into a project area. The areas are as
follows:
Area 1: Sunnyside Ridge
Area 2: McCarrell Canyon Storm Drain System
Area 3: Lower San Ramon Canyon/Tarapaca Canyon
Area 4: Altamira Canyon
Area 5: Palos Verdes Drive East/Miraleste Canyon
Area 6: San Pedro and Averill Canyons
Area 7: Via Colinita Vickery Canyon
Area 8: Miraleste and Chandeleur
Area 9: Palos Verdes Drive East Switchbacks
Area 10: Hawthorne Boulevard
Area 11: Palos Verdes Drive South
Area 12: Citywide Storm Drain Programs
This CIP document includes an update to the 2004 Storm Drain Master Plan
Update Study. The new update, expected to be completed by 2012, will add
data regarding the actual field condition of the storm drains, consider the efforts
of projects already implemented, and create a method for storing, retrieving, and
updating this type of data electronically using the City’s GIS System.

life expectancy and need to be lined to extend their life another
30+ years. CMP dating back to the 1940s have been discovered
and require maintenance along with those most recently installed
in the 1970s. A large number of drainage problems citywide can
be overcome by relining deteriorated pipes and improving inlets
and outlet structures.

PROJECT: SAN PEDRO CANYON STORM
DRAINS
TYPE: Storm Drain System
LOCATION: Project Area 6
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
The project in San Pedro Canyon lies east of Palos Verdes Drive
East and is crossed several times by residential streets. This
project has become a priority due to flooding in the area resulting
from sediment and debris accumulation in potentially undersized
debris basins and degraded pipes and inlet/outlet structures. Staff
has engaged a consultant to provide hydrologic and hydraulic
analyses and design recommendations, including construction
drawings. New County of Los Angeles standards for hydrology
assumptions complicate the design process from replacement of “in-
kind” to “upsizing” of pipes, which has downstream consequences.
Staff is working with consultant to develop solutions to address
known or anticipated capacity issues based on field observations,
with an emphasis on restricting hydro-modification (i.e. effects on
downstream areas).

RECREATION, PARKS & OPEN SPACE
The development and maintenance of community parks, recreational areas and
open space has been established as a top priority for the City as stated in the
General Plan and various other planning documents. The General Plan states,
“It is the goal of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to conserve, protect and
enhance its natural resources, beauty and open space for the benefit and
enjoyment of its residents and the residents of the entire region. Future
development shall recognize the sensitivity of the natural environment and
be accomplished in such a manner as to maximize the protection of it.”
Many park sites and open space areas have been acquired throughout the City,
and some have been developed for use by the general public. Some sites
remain vacant or underutilized. The City Council approved the Vision Plan in
September 2008 which outlines various trail and park projects which have been
included in this plan. The Public Use Master Plan has also outlined a strategy for
the development of trails which has also been incorporated into the CIP list.
These recreational projects add to the vibrancy of the community and they are
designed to contribute to all residents’ quality of life. Parks and other open
spaces have been carefully planned to take advantage of the beautiful coastline
and natural landscape of the peninsula.

PROJECT: CITY HALL
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: TBD
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
Currently, City Hall is located at the Upper Point Vicente Park site
in the former Nike Missile barracks constructed by the military in
1956. The building is not well-suited for the general office needs
and space requirements as specified in greater detail below.
There are also many safety and building code compliance issues
that exist. In addition to these deficiencies, the building also does
not meet ADA guidelines, which may create a significant risk and
liability for the City. The City currently has 58 full-time positions
housed in the main City Hall Building and the Community
Development Department annex. In addition to the 58 full-time
positions, the City contracts with outside consultants for some City
services and employs part-time staff and utilizes volunteers for
various tasks. These positions require an additional 8 work
stations and a work space for visiting City Council members
should also be included for remodeling/rebuilding purposes,
bringing the total to 9 additional spaces. These calculations do not
account for future positions which could be necessary to address
increased service demands from the community, additional
recreational facilities, increased regulation and continued
regulatory demands from other public agencies. The existing
buildings have a total of 20,489 square feet. The suggested
space requirement according to the U.S. General Administration
Office of Government-wide Policy for the 67 positions is 19,263
square feet. There is a shortage of storage space for planning
records which requires approximately 690 square feet. A new or
remodeled City Hall would also include a City Council chamber,
main lobby, conference rooms and other support space.
Approximately 34,210 square feet would be optimal for this
building to meet current and future needs. The Civic Center will
include an Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

PROJECT: INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
AT UPPER POINT VICENTE
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: 30940 Hawthorne Blvd.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
Currently, the Upper Point Vicente Park site is the location for City
Hall and the City’s maintenance yard. There have been various
proposed developments for the site through many community
planning efforts. Although a Civic Center Master plan has not
been developed, it is necessary to address several infrastructure
improvement needs ahead of time. These include: installation of a
sewer pipeline, installation of a piped storm drain system to
channel storm water to PVDS, and relocation of the existing mono-
pole. There is no gas service to the site, therefore, future
development may require that gas access be made available
through connection in the ROW on PVDS. Access to the site is
only permitted from Hawthorne Blvd and it is possible that a traffic
study will require the installation of a traffic signal on Hawthorne
Blvd. The cost estimate is conceptually based at this time.
Specific cost estimates can be prepared when programming and
planning for these improvements are completed.

PROJECT: MAINTENANCE YARD RELOCATION
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: Various Locations throughout the City
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
It has been proposed that City maintenance services be spread
citywide in strategic locations with a central office in City Hall. The
existing maintenance yard is located on the Upper Point Vicente
Park site which had been identified for various other community
uses due to its prime location. Staff is proposing the creation of a
central location for the maintenance yard with satellite locations
throughout the City, serving the maintenance and other
construction needs of the Public Works Department. The central
location of the maintenance yard will be situated at or near City
Hall for administrative purposes. This central location will control
all satellite locations through the use of maintenance personnel
and through the efficient use of the City’s network.

PROJECT: TRAILHEAD/OVERLOOK/VISTA POINT
DEVELOPMENT
TYPE: Recreation, Parks, & Open Space
LOCATION:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works/Planning
DESCRIPTION:
The Vision Plan identifies the construction of major trailheads at
key entrances to the existing City trail system. It is proposed that
trailheads be located at widened areas near the start of trails, with
a permeable surface pad made up of decomposed granite, gravel
or bark mulch. Furnishings would include a bench, a plastic bag
kiosk for dog owners, and trash and recycling receptacles.
Signage will include a Trailhead sign or possibly a freestanding
kiosk for trail notices. Small native trees for shade and pockets of
native shrubs, where appropriate, are also envisioned at trailhead
locations. Phase 1 would involve the development of the trail
head location at Shoreline Park/25th Street. Phase 2 would involve
the development of the following trail head locations: Cul-de-sac
next to St. Paul’s Church, Del Cerro Park, and the end of Ocean
Terrace. Phase 3 would involve the development of a trail head
location at the Switchbacks/PVDE Turnout.
The Vision Plan identifies the construction of overlooks and vista
points either in the Preserve or on other public lands within the
Vision Plan project area. It is proposed that overlooks/vista points
be placed on decomposed granite, or other permeable material
pad with flush stone edging. Furnishings at overlooks/vista points
are to include a semicircle bench as well as a stone pilaster
displaying any information, such as the name of any donor being
recognized. A stone clad retaining wall, less than 3 feet in height,
may also be incorporated into the overlook/vista point as
necessary. Plant pockets of native shrubs are also envisioned.
Phase 1 would involve the development of Inspiration Point and
Eagles Nest overlooks/vista points. Phase 2 would involve the
development of the following overlooks/vista points: Cul-de-sac
next to St. Paul’s Church, Del Cerro Park and the end of Ocean
Terrace. Phase 3 would involve the development of the following
overlooks/vista points: Switchbacks/PVDE Turnout, Paintbrush
Canyon/Burma Road, and Burma Road above Gateway Park.

PROJECT
TYPE: Recreation, Parks, & Open Space
LOCATION: Sunnyside Ridge Road (Intersection of Sunnyside Ridge Trail and
the Sol Vista Segment Trail)
DEPARTMENT: Planning/Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
The Sunnyside Segment Trail is a point-to-point trail segment that
begins on Sunnyside Ridge Road at the intersection of the
Sunnyside Ridge Trail and the currently unused Sol Vista Segment
Trail on the old Narbonne Right-of-Way, as indicated in the City’s

DESCRIPTION:
The CTP calls for a multi-purpose trail along the north side of PVDS
on the Salvation Army property, between the City’s Upper Pt.
Vicente property and the Tramonto residential development
(approximately 2,000 feet). The City and the Salvation Army are
currently in discussions regarding the Salvation Army’s potential
offer to donate the necessary trail easement on their property to
