Project Manager:Kit Fox,AICP,Associate Planner@ RECOMMENDATION TO: FROM: Receive and file the current report on the status of Border Issues. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This month's report includes: • A brief report on the most-recent meeting of the San Pedro Facility Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)for the Navy's Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP)on North Gaffey Street in San Pedro; • A brief report on the latest,scaled-back proposal for the expansion of Rolling Hills Covenant Church on Palos Verdes Drive North in Rolling Hills Estates;and, •An update on the proposed stadium lighting at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (PVPHS)in Rolling Hills Estates. BACKGROUND The following is the regular bi-monthly report to the City Council on various "Border Issues" potentially affecting the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes.The complete text of the current status report is available for review on the City's website at: hffp:l/palosverdes.com!rpv/planninqlborder issues/201 0/201 00907 Borderlssues StatusRpt.cfm 3-1 September 7, 2010 Page 2 DISCUSSION Current Border Issues San Pedro Facility Restoration Advisory Board, US Navy/Los Angeles (San Pedro) The San Pedro Facility Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) held its most recent meeting on June 30, 2010. Based upon the attached cover letter and agenda, the Navy has “closed the books” on the environmental remediation of the former San Pedro and Palos Verdes Drive North housing sites. The former San Pedro site is now the location of the proposed Ponte Vista project, while the former Palos Verdes Drive North site has been transferred to Marymount College, Rolling Hills Prep School and Volunteers of America. In the future, the RAB will only deal with environmental remediation at the active Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) San Pedro. Staff will continue to monitor this project in future Border Issues reports. New Border Issues Rolling Hills Covenant Church Expansion Project, Rolling Hills Estates On June 22, 2010, the Daily Breeze reported that Rolling Hills Covenant Church (RHCC) in Rolling Hills Estates is planning to pursue a scaled-back proposal to expand and upgrade its facilities on Palos Verdes Drive North near Montecillo Lane. The City of Rolling Hills Estates last considered (and rejected) a proposal for the significant expansion of the RHCC campus in 2004 and 2005. RHCC now proposes a 16,000-square-foot expansion to accommodate only additional classrooms, offices and other administrative uses, but no expansion of the church sanctuary or additional off-street parking. A new Initial Study for the project is being prepared, and is expected to be released for public review and comment in late summer or early fall. Staff will continue to monitor this project in future Border Issues reports. Peninsula High School Stadium Lights Proposal, Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District/Rolling Hills Estates On July 20, 2010, Staff presented a special Border Issues report to the City Council regarding the proposal to add stadium lights at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (PVPHS) in Rolling Hills Estates. Public speakers at the meeting were very evenly divided between proponents and opponents of the proposed stadium lights. The City Council expressed both appreciation of the potential value of nighttime football games to PVPHS and the community, and acknowledgement of the validity of the nearby residents’ concerns that such games raise. At the conclusion of public testimony and City Council discussion, the City Council took no position on the proposal, but directed Staff to prepare a letter to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD), for presentation to the Board of Education before it considered initiating the capital campaign for this project at its 3-2 September 7, 2010 Page 3 regular meeting on July 22, 2010. In this letter (dated July 21, 2010), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes asked the Board of Education to consider several issues in its deliberations before initiating this capital campaign and/or taking final action on this proposal, including: • Mitigating all environmental impacts related to stadium lighting and nighttime use to less-than-significant levels; • Submitting this proposal for full zoning and environmental review through the City of Rolling Hills Estates’ discretionary permit process, and abiding by the final outcome of that process; • Coordinating any proposed traffic control and parking measures involving public streets with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and its Public Works Department; and, • Conducting site visits to surrounding homes to directly observe light, noise, view and other project impacts as a part of the final review of this proposal. On July 22, 2010, Staff attended the PVPUSD Board of Education meeting, at which the Board formally considered the request of the Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee to initiate a capital campaign to raise private funding for the proposed lights. The Board received a presentation from the Committee and nearly two (2) hours of additional public comment in support of and in opposition to the proposal. At the conclusion of public testimony, the District’s legal counsel reiterated that the action before the Board was only the authorization of the capital campaign, and that additional public review and input would be sought before any final action on the proposal was taken by the Board. The Board then unanimously agreed to authorize the Committee to begin limited fundraising, without further discussion. On August 10, 2010, Rolling Hills Estates’ Planning Staff briefed its City Council on this proposal. Rolling Hills Estates’ Planning Staff expressed its support for the preparation of an appropriate environmental document for the project under CEQA, whether or not the District chooses to exempt itself from Rolling Hills Estates’ Special Use Permit (SUP) process. Their Staff also sought direction from the Rolling Hills Estates City Council as to whether or not the City should specifically ask the District to apply for an SUP. Although the City Council did not accept public testimony from stadium lighting supporters and opponents in attendance, it discussed the proposal at length and directed its Staff to prepare a letter to the District (see attached letter dated 13 August 2010), echoing many of the issues raised in our letter of July 21, 2010. It was also noted that the District had prepared a response to our letter of July 21, 2010 (dated August 9, 2010), which was distributed to the Rolling Hills Estates City Council as late correspondence (see attachments). This matter has garnered significant local media coverage and community interest. Staff will continue to monitor this project in future Border Issues reports. 3-3 MEMORANDUM: Border Issues Status Report September 7, 2010 Page 4 Attachments: • Cover letter and agenda for San Pedro Facility RAB meeting (received 6/22/10) • Daily Breeze article regarding the revised Rolling Hills Covenant Church project (published 6/22/10) • Letter to PVPUSD regarding the PVPHS stadium lighting proposal (dated 7/21/10) • PVPUSD Board of Education Staff report and exhibits for the PVPHS stadium lighting proposal (dated 7/22/10) • Daily Breeze and PV News articles regarding the PVPHS stadium lighting proposal (published 7/19/10, 7/20/10, 7/22/10, 7/24/10, 7/29/10, 8/8/10 & 8/12/10) • RHE City Council Staff report regarding the PVPHS stadium lighting proposal (dated 8/10/10) • Response letter from PVPUSD (received 8/10/11) • Letter from RHE to PVPUSD regarding the PVPHS stadium lighting proposal (dated 8/13/10) M:\Border Issues\Staff Reports\20100907_BorderIssues_StaffRpt.doc 3-4 RECEIVED JUN 222010 PLANNING.BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING COMMAND SOUTHWEST 1220 PACIFIC HIGHWAY SAN DIEGO,CA 92132·5190 5090 Ser JE30.GG/0201 June 17,2010 Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) Community Members Ladies and Gentlemen: SUBJECT:2010 SAN PEDRO FACILITY RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD (RAB)MEETING The Defense Fuel Support Point:(DFSP)San Pedro will be holding a RAB meeting on Wednesday,June 30,2010 from 6:00pm to 8:00 pm,at the DFSP San Pedro Facility,Building 100.

This time, the Rolling Hills Estates megachurch has significantly reduced the scope of its vision. In 2001, church officials had proposed more than doubling the footprint of their buildings on Palos Verdes Drive North, including a planned 52-foot tall sanctuary with seating for 2,250. After years of repeated late-night meetings, and amid passionate outcry from neighbors and threats of litigation from the church, the plan was scaled back. It failed to gain City Council approval, nonetheless. Now the church is hoping simply to get the go- ahead for more Sunday-school classrooms and executive offices, among other improvements. The expansion is a modest 16,000-square-foot addition to the nearly 64,000-square-foot existing campus. "We made a decision a few years ago to ... make it work with the neighbors," said Craig Knickerbocker, chairman of the church's expansion committee. "It's much, much smaller. This isn't even the same ballpark." Preliminary plans were formally submitted to the city earlier this month. Tuesday night, the Rolling Hills Estates City Council will vote on a $16,700 contract with a consulting group that will prepare an initial environmental study for the project. When the original plan was brought forward nearly nine years ago, the issue became one of the most controversial in the affluent, equestrian-friendly city of about 8,000 residents. A coalition of homeowners groups organized to oppose the expansion. Municipal officials said the project was incompatible with the semi-rural character of the community. After several significant revisions, the plans were rejected in 2004 and in 2005. Church members accused the city of anti- religion bias and threatened a lawsuit. But the congregation's sentiments changed, Knickerbocker said.

Print Powered By C!il FormatDynamiCS'1 3-9 "We came to a place where we ... needed to sue our own city and sue our neighbors," he said. "As a congregation, we decided not to do that. We trimmed down our whole plan not to do that." About $4 million that had been intended for construction was donated to an orphanage and hospital in Africa, a women's mission in Wilmington, and to El Taller del Alfarero, a new Spanish-language church Gardena, Knickerbocker said. Nearly $4 million was spent to buy a property that is now the church's community center on Silver Spur Road. The new project will cost "several million" dollars, depleting the remaining building funds, Knickerbocker said. The church, which has 2,100 to 2,300 attendees on Sundays, was built in 1957. Across from several residential subdivisions, it sits between the Palos Verdes Reservoir and a large cemetery - Green Hills Memorial Park. Residents who live in areas to the north formed the Rolling Hills Estates Neighborhood Coalition, which argued that traffic on already clogged Palos Verdes Drive North would worsen if the original project went forward. Knickerbocker said he anticipated less opposition this time around. "The neighbors have been very encouraging to us, and so has the city," Knickerbocker said. Tim Scott, a former member of a group of homeowners associations that opposed the church expansion, said he could not comment on the plans in part because he is now a city planning commissioner. Scott said he may have to recuse himself on the matter when it comes before the commission. The new project proposes an expansion of the choir room, conference rooms, offices, kitchen, bathrooms, and Sunday school classrooms. No new sanctuary seating is proposed, nor are any additional parking spaces. City Principal Planner Niki Cutler said in an e- mail that the parking appears to be sufficient. The initial study is expected to be complete in about two months, Cutler said. melissa.pamer@dailybreeze.com Want to go?

Public speakers at last night's meeting were very evenly divided between proponents and opponents of the proposed stadium lights.The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council expressed both appreciation of the potential value of nighttime football games to PVPHS and the community,and acknowledgement of the validity of the nearby residents'concerns that such games raise.At the conclusion of public testimony and City Council discussion,the City Council took no position on the proposal,but directed Staff to prepare this letter to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD),for presentation to the Board of Education before it considers initiating the capital campaign for this project at its regular meeting on 22 July 2010.The City of Rancho Palos Verdes asks the Board of Education to consider the following issues in its deliberations before initiating this capital campaign and/or taking final action on this proposal: •In addition to aesthetic concerns regarding the addition of lighting to the existing stadium,residents surrounding PVPHS have also expressed concerns about parking,traffic control,noise and public health and safety impacts related to nighttime use of the stadium by the high school and/or other non-school entities. Copies of letters and e-mails sent to our City are enclosed with this letter.The 30940 HAWfi {()I~Nl BlVD 1 R"NCHO PAl 0\VmDr\CA 90275-5391 PlAN,\!IN(.!<.ODF I NFO!<U MI NI (310)544-52281 BUILDINC (310)265-7800/DEPT.fAX (310)544-5293 I E-MAIL PlANNINC@I<PV.COt\l3-11 Superintendent Walker Williams 21 July 2010 Page 2 City of Rancho Palos Verdes believes that many of the concerns expressed by residents raise valid environmental impact issues that should be addressed as a part of the future assessment of this proposal,in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).Based upon the written and oral comments received by our City Council in this matter,we believe that sufficient evidence exists of potential adverse environment impacts such that it would be inappropriate for the lead agency in any future CEQA review of this proposal to rely upon a categorical or statutory exemption from CEQA.The City of Rancho Palos Verdes asks the District to mitigate all environmental impacts related to stadium lighting and nighttime use to less-than-significant levels. •The PVPHS campus is located in the City of Rolling Hills Estates and is zoned "I" (Institutional).Within the "I"district,public educational institutions and related recreational facilities are conditionally-permitted uses.Furthermore,outdoor lighting that deviates from the requirements of the Rolling Hills Estates Municipal Code requires the approval of a special use permit by the Rolling Hills Estates Planning Commission.We understand that the California Government Code allows school districts to exempt themselves from local zoning regulations. However,the City of Rancho Palos Verdes respectfully requests that the District not avail itself of this exemption;submit this proposal for full zoning and environmental review through the City of Rolling Hills Estates'discretionary permit process;and that the District abide by the final outcome of that process.We believe that Rolling Hills Estates'process would provide for the greatest transparency and public input for this proposal. •Although the PVPHS campus is located in the City of Rolling Hills Estates,the surrounding public rights-of-way-most notably Silver Spur Road-fall primarily within the jurisdiction of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.We understand that the project proponents have indicated their intention to address issues of parking and traffic control on surrounding public streets.We take this opportunity to remind the District of the need to coordinate such measures with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and its Public Works Department. •Nearly all of the residences surrounding the PVPHS campus are located in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,not the City of Rolling Hills Estates.Our City Council has found that,when project proponents conduct site visits to surrounding residences to directly observe project impacts,it can lead to a less adversarial relationship with the surrounding community,and result in a final product that more successfully balances the needs and desires of all stakeholders.The City of Rancho Palos Verdes strongly encourages the District 3-12 Superintendent Walker Williams 21 July 2010 Page 3 to conduct site visits to surrounding homes to observe light,noise,view and other project impacts as a part of the final review of this proposal.Our Staff would be happy to assist with the coordination of these site visits. Again,thank you for advising the City of Rancho Palos Verdes of this proposal.We will continue to monitor it and report to our City Council on its status as a part of the bi- monthly Border Issues Status Reports.If you have any questions or need additional information,please feel free to contact me at (310)544-5228 or via e-mail at kitf@rpv.com.

Response:See attachment 1. l(c):A DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PURPOSE,PROPOSED PROJECT(S), EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT,HOW THE PROJECT FALLS WITHIN TIlE OVERALL EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES OF THE DISTRICT,AND ESTIMATED COST OF PROJECT(S). Response:The Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee ("Steering Committee")was formed because providing lights for the Palos Verdes Peninsula High School ("Peninsula High School"or "Peninsula")stadium would allow the stadium to be used at night,in a manner that would enable Peninsula High School to host games in the evening when more students,parents and other community members can attend,and thus enhance the community spirit and school morale through these events,as well as raise revenue in several areas from well-attended events such as football games. Because the Peninsula stadium does not presently have lights,all athletic events at the school must take place between the end of the school day and dusk.This limits the number of students,parents and community members who can attend games,and limits the revenue that can be generated from football ticket sales,concessions from the Associated Student Body,the Athletic Booster Club,the PTSA,and the Touchdown Club.This,in turn,limits the funds that are available to support other school programs that revenue generated from these groups support.It also limits athletic opportunities for students who would play other sports such as soccer and lacrosse,as these teams are forced to schedule all home games during the portion of the season that will not interfere with a need for lights;and,sometimes due to scheduling conflicts,games are forced to end early because of lighting issues. Since football (with basketball)is one of Peninsula's only two revenue-generating sports,providing lights for the stadium would allow for evening scheduling of football games,which would increase (a)greatly needed revenue to support the athletic and other Page 1 of 4 3-17 Exhibit A 7-22-10 Page 4 of 25 RESPONSE TO:PALOS VERDES PENINSULA l1NIFlED SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION REGULATION 3290.1:BUSINESS AND NONlNSTURCnnNAL OPERATIONS CAPITAL CAMPAIGNSIPRO/ECT-FACILffiES school programs,as severe budget cuts are threatening the availability of money for these programs from the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District ("District");(b)the attendance at games by allowing more students,parents and other community members to attend;(c)athletic opportunities for students who play soccer and lacrosse by increasing scheduling flexibility;(d)the community spirit that comes from having parents and others in the neighborhood attend high school football games;and (e)the ability for CIF games to be played at Peninsula High School.Stadium lights also will allow the student athletes to remain in class for the full day on the days that home games are scheduled in the evening. An additional benefit of stadium lights could provide the Palos Verdes Peninsula community with the use of the track in the evening. The net result will be to use the sports facility not only for daytime athletic events, but to integrate them into the community and social environment in a way that enhances the educational environment as well.1 l(d).A SPECIFIC TIMELINE AND LIST OF OBJECTIVES. Response:Upon approval by the District,the Steering Committee will begin fundraising immediately while providing the District with any additional documentation required.2 The Steering Committee targets completion of the project before the beginning of the 2010-2011 fall sports season,but recognizes this limitation because of the involvement by other entities,including but not limited to,District approval of contractor and construction services,other building requirements,and approval by the Department of State Architects. l(e).THE NAME OF THE BANK WHERE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCATED AND THE NAMES OF THOSE AUTHORIZED TO WITHDRAW FUNDS AND/OR TRANSFER FUNDS TO THE DISTRICT.

We agree that providing lights for the high school stadium would greatly enhance community spirit,school morale,and the educational purpose of the field.The ability of events hosted in the evening,such as football ga.'l1es,will not only raise greatly-needed revenue,but allow more students,parents and other community members to attend.Thus,bringing together the community spirit that comes from having parents and others in the neighborhood attend these events.The lights also will provide athletic opportunities for students who would play other sports such as soccer and lacrosse,as,currently,these teams are forced to schedule all home games during the portion of the season that will not interfere with a need for lights.Thus,the lights will alleviate game scheduling conflicts.Additionally,having lights will allow the student athletes to remain in class for the full day on the days that home games are scheduled in the evening.Another additional benefit of stadium lights could provide the Palos Verdes Peninsula community with the use of the track in the evening. With the eminent and severe budget cuts effecting our district,and threatening the availability of money for athletic programs,the time is ripe to allow the installation of stadium lights.As evening football games will increa..<;e revenue generated from ticket sales,concessions from the Associated Student Body,the Booster Club,the PTSA,and the Touchdown Club,they also will enhance and increase student,parent,and community participation and spirit at a time that it is most needed. 3-22 Exhibit A 7-22-10 Page 9 of 25 ·.

Estimated Electrical Construction -$225,000 I.Includes power to the Musco poles for lighting from an existing service on campus. 2.An emergency battery inverter and emergency lighting on the poles. 3.Conduit only for any low voltage systems including fLTe alarm and public address. 4.This does not include any 120V power/receptacles on the field or at the Musco poles. We would propose that our fee for the project would be $39,500.That would include Konsortum 1 submitting the drawings and getting them approved through DSA.Our fee does not include costs required to submit the drawings for review by DSA. Please give me a call if you have any questions.I can be reached on my cell phone at 951-233- 1258.We look forward to working with you on this project.

Providing lights for the high school stadium will not only greatly increase enthusiasm,spirit and a sense of pride at Peninsula High School;it also will also generate additional revenue that will be sorely needed to off set the budget cuts that our school district faces over the next two years. This additional revenue will be derived from increased paid attendance at sporting events and the corresponding increase of sales at our concessions.Some of this revenue can be used to assist our athletic programs,enhance and repair the sporting venues,which are used by all students at Peninsula High School and used in other areas that need fmancial support determined at the discretion of our school administration.The lights also will increase the flexibility of scheduling games and practices,as well as giving the parents of our athletes and the opposing team's parents the opportunity to watch their athletes play in the evening.Currently,many parents are prevented from attending games because of work conflicts.Another very positive result of our Varsity athletes playing at night would be that they would be able to remain in class a full day on those days that home games are scheduled. In a broader sense,the lights will be a beacon for the entire Peninsula community.It will demonstrate to all that see them,that the Palos Verdes Peninsula is alive,well and optimistic about our future.They will draw our community together with a sense of pride and enthusiasm and make our stadium a gathering place for adults to exercise or just relax and converse at night. We thank you for allowing us to submit this letter and encourage approval of the Palos Verdes Peninsula High School Stadium Lights Proposal,which we feel will not only enhance our athletes'experience at Peninsula High School,but also will benefit all students at our school, parents and the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula community.James Thurber wrote "There are two kinds oflight---the glow that illuminates and the glare that obscures".We believe that our lights will illuminate everything that is good in our community. 7t};lr~ytJ~d4 y~~.

We believe that providing lights for the high school stadium would greatly enhance attendance at Peninsula High School football games.We believe this increase in attendance also will increase revenue generated to our tenants at the Peninsula Center and to Peninsula Community. We are cognizant of the increase in traffic that may arise from the approval of this initiative.We would be pleased to consider providing overflow parking for the 5 to 7 nights per year that the games are scheduled during the Fall in order to help alleviate any concerns with regard to traffic impact on the surrounding neighborhoods as long as it does not conflict with any events and or Tenants business at the Peninsula Shopping Center.We reserve the right,however,to amend the use of the lot on a case by case basis during one or more of these nights in the event that the Peninsula Center has a need for the area for another engagement. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this letter,and to be a partner with the Palos Verdes Unified School District with respect to endeavors that encourage enhancements in our area that benefit the students and our business community.

This time it's for his high school alma mater, instead of Cal in the Golden Bears' shocking, last-minute 1982 victory over Stanford. In that classic matchup, Moen dodged members of the Cardinal's marching band - who had flooded into the end zone in premature celebration - to score a game-reversing six points for UC Berkeley. Today, Moen might need about as much gumption. That's because he and a group of Panther parents are seeking to finally bring Friday night lights to Peninsula High's football stadium in Rolling Hills Estates. Their quest is set to provoke one of the long-running rivalries on The Hill: the one between anyone who wants change and nearly everybody else. It's a battle that has been lost before, when an effort to bring stadium lights to the high school failed in 1993 over neighborhood objections and a split school board vote. Moen and the 10- month-old Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee believe they can convince residents of the surrounding subdivisions that the potential unifying force of Friday night games outweighs the drawbacks of added traffic, noise and, of course, light. "You go across this country and every small town, big town, has a venue to bring everyone together on Friday night," said Moen, who this fall will start his third season as co-head football coach. "It's apparent to every other community in the world except ours that it's a benefit." Moen and committee Chairwoman Nina MacLeay point out that Peninsula High and nearby Palos Verdes High are the only large CIF campuses in the South Bay that cannot host night games. Students have to leave class early to make it to afternoon Advertisement Light installation committee member Nina MacLeay and Peninsula High football coach Kevin Moen stand on bleachers at Peninsula where they hope to see lights shine on the field.

"It's grossly under- attended," said MacLeay, whose sophomore son plays junior varsity football. "It's because they're day games, and nobody can come." MacLeay and the committee have developed a proposal for privately funded lights - at a cost of nearly $500,000. They've tried to anticipate neighbors' concerns, finding overflow parking and vowing to hire security to help with traffic. Because of the potential commercial benefit to the nearby Peninsula Center, they think they might get support from the Rolling Hills Estates City Council, which could complicate things by enforcing a municipal lighting ordinance. MacLeay and Moen also emphasize how much lighting technology has improved since 1993, saying neighbors' concerns about glare will be resolved. "The lighting will not leave the ground of the stadium," MacLeay said. "They're beautiful lights." On Thursday, she and the committee are hoping to get the go-ahead from the board of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District, which has to signal its approval before the group can begin fundraising. Last month, MacLeay gave an initial presentation to the board, which raised concerns about the stadium's 5,000-seat capacity, the ability to handle traffic and whether night games would change the character of the neighborhood. "There was caution," said board President Dora de la Rosa. "We are all just trying to be very deliberate and cautious and just make sure we've considered every angle. I don't get the feeling that there is really strong momentum one way or the other on the board." De la Rosa noted vigorous support for the lights in the Peninsula High community. Last week, she and other board members visited Grant High School in Van Nuys and Redondo Union High to get a feel for newer lighting equipment. "It could be a unifying force. It could have lots of positive benefits. Do the positives outweigh the negatives - that's sort of the question," de la Rosa said. The board must return to the issue once the steering committee raises sufficient funds, but de la Rosa said a "yes" vote Thursday would indicate the panel's inclination. MacLeay and Moen said the field would be lighted in fall for five evening home games, and two more if Peninsula High made the playoffs. The school's soccer team and l acrosse team would also use the lights to illuminate games during the winter afternoons when the sun sets early, MacLeay said. She and Moen anticipate opponents arguing the field will be taken over by other interests from across the Palos Verdes Peninsula, which lacks large public athletic facilities. Moen noted that opening the field up to outside uses would be a decision of the school board. "We don't really control that," Moen said. "This is a high school. Its intended use is for high school activities. ... It's not going to become a community soccer center." On Tuesday, the lights proposal will get its first serious test, before the Rancho Palos Advertisement Page 2 of 3Friday night lights fight is on again - The Daily Breeze 7/20/2010http://www.dailybreeze.com/ci_15547870?IADID=Search-www.dailybreeze.com-www.da...

The panel will hear public comment on the proposal for the school, which is mostly surrounded by homes in Rancho Palos Verdes. The city has already received about 20 comments from neighbors who are opposed to the lights. Some, in their letters and e-mails, recalled a bitter debate in 1993. Others questioned whether the community should raise money for football stadium lights when the cash-strapped school district has had to cut costs and reduce the school year because of an ongoing budget crunch. "The diminished quality of life for the residents is significant and long-term, but any benefits to the students are negligible and short-term," wrote one anonymous resident. "Having stadium lights may seem important to them during the four years they spend at high school, but once they graduate and move on to greater pursuits, they won't care whether or not the school has stadium lights." That cannot be said of Moen, who graduated in 1979 from what was then called Rolling Hills High. The lack of Friday night lights was a complaint, he said, even in the days before he made "The Play."

The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council will address several closely watched local issues at its meeting tonight. Council members will discuss a proposal to erect stadium lighting at the football field at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School - a topic that has been controversial in the past. Also before the panel is a resolution opposing a ballot initiative to allow dorms and other new facilities at Marymount College. The council will additionally consider giving authority to code enforcement officers and park rangers who patrol the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve to issue criminal citations for code violations. The measure would save money by eliminating the involvement of the city attorney. Minor revisions to the view restoration and preservation procedures also are on the agenda. The items will be heard at the regular council meeting that begins at 7 p.m. at Fred Hesse Community Park, 29301 Hawthorne Blvd., Rancho Palos Verdes.

Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to request that the school board submit a plan for stadium lights at Palos Verdes Peninsula High to the Rolling Hills Estates City Council, which has jurisdiction over the campus. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District board Thursday will consider whether to exempt the stadium upgrade plan from a Rolling Hills Estates lighting ordinance. Four votes are required for passage. The proposal from a group of Panther parents and alumni would bring regular Friday night f ootball games to The Hill for the first time. The lights would be funded by about $500,000 in privately raised donations. The concept generated two hours of heated comments on both sides at the Tuesday meeting in Rancho Palos Verdes, where council members emphasized that they had no legal control over what happened at the high-achieving campus. Several noted their own experiences playing under lights or attending games as high schoolers. "If it were just me, just my decision, I'd go for it," said Mayor Steve Wolowicz. "But that's instinctive. This is not just for me, it's for my community." The council voted unanimously to draft a neutral letter that called for a thorough review of the neighborhood effects and for the submittal of the plans to Rolling Hills Estates. The action came after protests from residents of Rancho Palos Verdes, which surrounds the campus on three sides. They speculated about the noise and glare that would be brought by the lights, along with traffic, crime and a negative effect on their property values. Other critics said they hadn't been notified of the plan. "How can we go about building community spirit when a significant portion of the population feels their concerns are not being addressed?" said Kris Rhoads, a resident of nearby Fon Du Lac Drive.

Peninsula High and Palos Verdes High are the only two large CIF schools in the South Bay - and much of the region - that lack night lighting. "For the last 50 years, we have been terrible hosts," said Bill Webster, a member of committee. "We have a world-class high school. We tout how great this high school is. We have third-world facilities." Webster noted that not only does the stadium lack lights, but it fails to offer bathrooms or concession stands. That contributes to an impression that Peninsula residents are "elitists" who do not welcome visitors from other schools, he said. Thursday night, the committee will find out if the school board will give the group permission to begin raising funds for the lights. Rancho Palos Verdes council members urged the more than 50 residents who showed up at their Tuesday meeting to reiterate their comments to the school board. melissa.pamer@dailybreeze.com Want to go?

For some, that’s OK. But others say it’s time for the Hill to enjoy this slice of American life. A proposal to illuminate the Peninsula High School football field and track recently has been resurrected, prompting a large response at Tuesday night’s Rancho Palos Verdes City Council meeting. The 42-acre PENHI campus, located in Rolling Hills Estates, is almost completely surrounded by single-family homes within RPV boundaries. Officials have said that it’s the RPV residents who will be most affected. The Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee has brought forth a plan to install four 80-foot-tall lights, as well as a state-of-the-art sound system to replace what members call the existing “antiquated” speakers. “Friday night lights” are about more than just football, according to committee Chair Nina MacLeay. “They bring children together in a safe environment,” she said. “They bring families together. They bring revenue to much-needed Rolling Hills Estates businesses. What goes on at a football game is pretty miraculous.” Bill Webster, a steering committee member, said PENHI for the past 50 years has been a “terrible” host to visiting athletic teams and their supporters. “We play our games at 3 in the afternoon, when most parents can’t even come and see their own children play … We are perceived and continue to have the impression from people off the Hill that we’re elitist and unwelcoming to our friends off the Hill,” he said. The lack of bathrooms and a snack bar, Webster added, represent “third-world facilities” at the “first-class school” that has gained a variety of awards and accolades. But neighbors who already are living with the effects of the afternoon games say that the proposed plans would only add to the problem. Light pollution, noise, traffic and parking, vandalism, litter, an increase in crimes, and a possible decline in property values were of their main concerns. “We are asking the school simply to be a good neighbor,” said Kelton Rhoads, of RPV. “School spirit is not measured in decibels.” Added RPV resident Mary Schaal, “During this recession, we should be concerned about the education of the students .... The neighborhood has been without lights since the inception of Rolling Hills High School, which is now Peninsula High School, and the students still got scholarships for sports.” Previous attempts have been made to bring stadium lights to Palos Verdes High School, located in Palos Verdes Estates, but with no success. The city adopted an ordinance around 1960, when the high school was built, and the PV Art Jury has rejected proposals for lights. Community members also have expressed the same trepidations as residents on the other side of the Hill. Print Page Page 1 of 2Print Version 7/22/2010http://www.pvnews.com/articles/2010/07/22/local_news/news1.prt 3-52 RPV residents criticized the steering committee for what they said was a lack of transparency and communication with all interested parties. Some said they wouldn’t have known about this issue — its fate rests with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District’s Board of Education — if it weren’t for the RPV City Council’s session on Tuesday. “I wonder how we can really … effectively build school spirit when a significant portion of the population feels that their concerns are not being addressed,” Kristina Rhoads said. The Board of Education will review the matter tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Malaga Cove Administration Center, 375 Via Almar in Palos Verdes Estates. There is no indication of which way the PVPUSD officials intend to vote. Several speakers at Tuesday’s meeting suggested that the process be delayed to allow for analysis of the project’s affects. However, the steering committee, to which PENHI varsity football head coach Kevin Moen also belongs, has presented some of its own mitigation measures. For example, the group said the lights would be used between five and seven times per year, and the project will be funded entirely with private money. Committee members said that the latest technology would be employed to direct sound inward and light downward onto the field at a level that is a fraction of what’s permitted in RHE’s ordinance. MacLeay said a consultant has determined that the resulting noise level would be reduced by 30 percent and resemble the “ambient sound” of a refrigerator. This assertion prompted jeers from some project opponents in the crowd. According to MacLeay, the Peninsula Shopping Center, located adjacent to PENHI, at the Silver Spur Road- Hawthorne Boulevard intersection, already has pledged to offer overflow parking to accommodate spectators of the would-be night games. The committee also has said that traffic and security personnel’s presence would be heightened. However heated the debate, council remained neutral and voted 5-0 to direct RPV staff to prepare a letter articulating the panel’s concerns and encouraging the PVPUSD to go through the full zoning and environmental review of RHE’s permit process — and “abide by the outcome,” RPV Councilman Tom Long added. The Board of Education has the ability, if it so chooses, to exempt itself from the RHE process. Its council has yet to discuss the stadium lights proposal. RPV staff also will continue to monitor the proposal. “Are lights a good part of an educational program? I’ll leave that to the school board,” Long said. “Is the manner in which the development will take place properly mitigated? I leave that to the Rolling Hills Estates City Council. But I do hope we will provide input and suggestions on that.” aratcliff@pvnews.com Page 2 of 2Print Version 7/22/2010http://www.pvnews.com/articles/2010/07/22/local_news/news1.prt 3-53 School board allows fundraising for Peninsula High stadium lights By Melissa Pamer Staff Writer Posted: 07/23/2010 06:56:53 PM PDT The Palos Verdes Peninsula Panthers this week won their first victory on the still-complicated path to playing Friday night football under glowing stadium lights. In a unanimous vote before a crowded room late Thursday, the school board gave a group of parents and alumni permission to begin requesting private donations for field lighting and a new sound system. It was a long-sought "W" for supporters of Friday night lights on The Hill, but a bitter loss for nearby residents who fear the effect the games will have on neighborhoods surrounding Peninsula High. After the vote, members of the football team - who stood massed together at the back of the board room - gathered outside, jubilant. There were "a lot of emotions," co-head coach Kevin Moen said later. Moen, who was a football star at the school in the late 1970s when the campus was called Rolling Hills High, is a member of the 10-month- old Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee, which hopes to raise about $500,000 for the lighting. "This is really all about them," Moen said of his players. "They're ecstatic. This is huge for the kids. It's huge for our community." The board action is the latest chapter in the long and intermittent saga of the push for stadium lighting at the Rolling Hills Estates campus. The issue last came up for a divisive debate in 1993, when Peninsula High stadium improvements failed to gather sufficient school board support to survive. "It's a historic moment in our community," said Nina MacLeay, chairwoman of the 12-member steering committee. "It's taken 40 years to get here. There were many attempts in those 40 years. Those attempts laid the ground work to where we are today." MacLeay said she hopes to see the lights up in time for the fall 2011 season, when her football- playing son will be a junior. Thursday's vote by the board of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District means the steering committee can begin raising private funds and refining plans for the 5,000-seat Advertisement Page 1 of 3School board allows fundraising for Peninsula High stadium lights - The Daily Breeze 7/26/2010http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/ci_15589098 Ie ppe,opl,e i'n need.

The board will again have to weigh final plans after a detailed environmental study that examines the objections of many neighbors. Peninsula High and Palos Verdes High - the district's other secondary campus - are the only large schools in the South Bay that lack stadium lighting. Because of that, they must hold afternoon games, which cannot be attended by many parents and fellow students with busy after-school schedules. Recognized nationally for its academics, Peninsula High did not win a single football game last season. That has contributed to a decline in school spirit that could be reversed by the news about the lights, Associated Student Body President Michele Charles said. "Everyone just thought it was a dream that would never happen," said Charles, whose student council group organizes a cheering section known as "The Zoo." "Everyone at school is going to be completely excited for this." District staff and board President Dora de la Rosa repeatedly emphasized that Thursday's vote was preliminary - an approval of the project in concept that allows the committee to begin a capital campaign, per board policy. "A final decision is yet to come and, in the interim, there will be lots of review," de la Rosa said Friday. Asked about residents' concerns that they had not been notified about the proposal - except in some cases by the city of Rancho Palos Verdes - de la Rosa said the district will hold public hearings "that will be publicized and people will be made aware." Without conceptual approval of the lighting plans, "the issue wasn't ripe yet" for notification, she said. Some neighbors said they had not been given sufficient time to prepare a case against the lights. But they readily offered their concerns about noise, glare, traffic and parking, and the "element" that night games would bring to The Hill from competing schools. (Peninsula and Palos Verdes high schools are in the CIF Southern Section Bay League, along with Leuzinger High of Lawndale, Mira Costa High in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Union High, and Torrance's West High.) MacLeay told the board Thursday that state-of- the-art lights and a new sound system will mean no glare and less noise than is created by existing broken speakers. New revenue from increased stadium attendance - estimated at up to $50,000 in a regular season with five homes games - will pay for security to deal with traffic, she said. Peninsula Center has agreed to provide overflow parking.

Print Powered By C!il FormatDynamiCS'1 3-55 But residents who live nearby - mostly in Rancho Palos Verdes homes that largely surround the Rolling Hills Estates campus - are skeptical. And they believe the lights, if installed, will end up being used far more than five times per year. One Rancho Palos Verdes resident who said he had lived across from the school for more than four decades worried about the change that night games would bring. "For 44 years, we have the drill team practice, the band practice, countless athletic events. But that's OK with us. It's a high school," he said. "One very, very important fact is for 44 years, when the sun goes down, the kids go home." In her presentation to the board, MacLeay noted that the homeowners had chosen to purchase houses near a high school. "These are not people we will ever please. And ... they are few," MacLeay said. Laura de Jesus, a resident of nearby Silver Arrow Drive who said night games would alter the area's "rural character," countered that lights were likewise supported by a narrow selection of locals. "This proposal was put before the board by a very small group of people. They're all here," de Jesus said. "I do not believe the entire community should suffer because of a ... small group." melissa.pamer@dailybreeze.com Advertisement Page 3 of 3School board allows fundraising for Peninsula High stadium lights - The Daily Breeze 7/26/2010http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/ci_15589098 Print Powered By C!il FormatDynamiCS'1 3-56 Stadium lights gets first round of approval By Mary Scott, Peninsula News Thursday, July 29, 2010 10:36 AM PDT With a 5-0 vote, the Board of Education last Thursday night approved “limited” fundraising to develop plans for stadium lights at Peninsula High School in Rolling Hills Estates, to the cheers of supporters and disappointment of opponents of the project. “This is not the final approval on the project,” board member Larry Vanden Bos told opponents after the vote. The Palos Verdes Peninsula High School Stadium Lights Steering Committee has proposed adding four 80- foot-tall light poles along the length of the PENHI football field, as well as a new state-of-the-art sound system. The board’s action on Thursday night only allowed the steering committee to raise money to develop the stadium plans, prepare necessary documents and arrive at a final estimate for the cost of installation, which could run between $502,000 and $546,000. Before the board gives the committee final approval, it must mitigate the issues raised by Rancho Palos Verdes residents who live at the school’s borders, as well as those of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. And, said the district’s attorney, Andreas Chialtas, residents must be able to participate in public hearings regarding the matter. “The idea is to make sure everybody is heard, and there will be a time and place for that,” Chialtas said. “This is not the final say.” But for residents, it already seemed like the “final say” before the vote was cast. During a two-hour public hearing, resident Kris Rhoads asked the board not to approve the “limited” capital campaign. “Moving forward with fundraising is essentially a greenlight for the project … We all support the schools; we all support the community,” she said. “We just want the chance to enjoy our homes.” Although a lot of issues have been brought up — crime, traffic, parking and glare — the major issue that concerns residents is the noise, from both the sound system and the crowd. One resident said he is “bombarded” by noise during the school’s daytime activities. “Enduring it at night will be brutal,” he added. Another resident told board members a Pop Warner group woke him up one Sunday morning when someone blasted the song “Highway to Hell” through the loud speaker. “What are the decibels of the sound system?” asked neighbor Alan Soderberg. “Also, [the night games] will be bringing a lot more people; what’s the decibel of a crowd?” Soderberg asked the board to postpone its vote until an accurate study of the noise level is done. He asked that it address parking, as the offer by the Peninsula Shopping Center is “provisional.” Print Page Page 1 of 3Print Version 7/30/2010http://www.pvnews.com/articles/2010/07/29/local_news/news2.prt 3-57 Michelle McKinnie, Peninsula Center’s general manager, wrote in a letter to the board stating she will “consider” providing overflow parking, keeping visitors off of residential streets. “We believe that providing lights for the high school stadium would greatly enhance attendance at Peninsula High School football games,” she wrote. “We believe this increase in attendance also will increase revenue generated to our tenants at the Peninsula Center and to [the] Peninsula community.” Residents were able to see a PowerPoint presentation at the July 19 RPV City Council meeting, but that presentation was not repeated at the school board meeting. However, committee Chairwoman Nina MacLeay, PENHI football coach Kevin Moen and the committee’s lighting consultant Alex Nikolakopulos provided a 20-minute overview. “We do not intend to provoke public controversy,” said Moen, also a member of the steering committee, adding that the issues concerning the residents have been addressed. Nikolakopulos told the board that the field has a natural buffer to mitigate the light, and new lighting technology will reduce the glare. The proposed placement of lights down the length of the field will not face residents. “Residents on Silver Arrow [Drive] will not look directly at lights, but the side of the light,” he said. The current speakers are problematic, MacLeay said. The committee has added to the proposal a new system, at an estimated cost of $25,000, to reduce the noise level by 30 percent at the stadium. “We are committed to resolving this problem,” she said. To that, one resident told board members, “I’m for [them] updating the speaker, but how will they control the student’s finger on the control?” MacLeay also addressed the crime issue. “Football games will be attended on the home side by Palos Verdes residents,” she said. “The visitor side will be attended by parents and fans of the athletes … The notion that a night game will undoubtedly bring crime is meritless and prejudgmental of those families outside of Palos Verdes … Those schools have been pleasant and welcoming hosts.” “My neighbors’ questions were answered by the steering committee,” said incoming freshman football player Garrett Nelson. Nelson, whose parents also spoke in support of the stadium lights, told board members that working parents could not attend afternoon games. “I want my dad to have the opportunity to share in my high school football career,” he said. One mother of four children in the School District said she was struck by the community’s reaction to Friday night games. “These people knowingly bought their home by the high school,” she said. “Now they demand a halt to activities.” The school was built after the houses came in, said resident Mary Schaal. “The neighborhood has been without lights since the inception of Rolling Hills High School, and students still got scholarships for sports.” Rolling Hills High opened in 1964. When the high schools consolidated in 1991, it was renamed Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. According to board President Dora de la Rosa, another group attempted in 1993 to install lights, but that effort failed. In October 2000, PENHI used temporary lights for its homecoming game.

It will be the third hearing in as many weeks for a proposal for stadium lighting at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. Last month, the board of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District gave permission to a group of parents and alumni to begin private fundraising for the lights, giving the initial nod to a controversial proposal that has generated heated response from both critics and supporters. Tuesday's hearing is limited in scope, the city's planning director emphasized. The council is set to weigh whether to ask the school board to subject the lighting plan to city review. "The big issue is that a lot of people are going to come out in droves ... and use it as another f orum to state why they're for or against the lights. That's not the purpose of the meeting," Planning Director David Wahba said. "If they're going to come, they should articulate their views on whether it should go through the city's process." Under state law, the school board could vote to exempt itself from local planning and zoning restrictions. That would leave the city with no control over most issues associated with the stadium improvements, such as traffic, noise, intensity and height of the lights, and the timing of games. The city would, however, have jurisdiction over an agreement between the Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee and the nearby commercial Peninsula Center to provide overflow parking, Wahba said. With an insistently positive outlook, committee Chairwoman Nina MacLeay said she was not worried about the possibility that the city would restrict the now informal parking agreement. "I believe we'll work with the city and we'll come to a resolution that will benefit the high school and the retail business district of Rolling Hills Estates," MacLeay said.

The Rancho Palos Verdes council also last month heard impassioned testimony on the lights, which would be located on the school's Rolling Hills Estates campus but would impact homes in the neighboring city.

Council members in Rolling Hills Estates stressed that they didn't "step on any toes," as Judy Mitchell put it. But they said city planning staff could provide experience in dealing with the issue. Under state law, the school board could vote to exempt the project at the Rolling Hills Estates campus from city review.

By Rebecca Villaneda, Peninsula News RHE — It was the Rolling Hills Estates City Council’s turn to discuss Peninsula High School’s request to install two 80-foot-tall light poles on either side of the football field. The issue already has been broached at Rancho Palos Verdes City Council and Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District meetings. While PENHI is in RHE’s jurisdiction, the Board of Education can exempt itself from city zoning regulations by a two-third vote, according to city staff. The RHE City Council on Tuesday did not hear public testimony, but voted 4-0 to draft a letter to the school board urging that a full environmental review be conducted for the project and that all impacts be mitigated, regardless if the board chooses to exempt itself. Councilwoman Susan Seaman was absent. Council also will offer review from its planning department as an option to the school board, which would be responsible for the cost. “If the board does not exempt itself from RHE zoning requirements, Rolling Hills Estates would be the responsible agency,” said Principal Planner Niki Cutler. When Mayor John Addleman took a vote of proponents and opponents of the lights during the meeting, nine were for them and 24 were against. Said Councilman Steve Zuckerman, “I think it would be hard for the district to [have an outcome] in as balanced and as objective a manner as our city could. I would wholeheartedly encourage the district to bring this matter to us for our consideration.” Council members Judy Mitchell and Frank Zerunyan both were weary of “stepping on the school board’s toes” and added that they felt the board was fully capable of making the right decisions. “I presume they know their limitations and what they need to do. It’s their school. They have jurisdiction over it, clearly under the law, and it would be very difficult to dictate what they might or might not do,” Zerunyan said. “From my perspective, a letter from the city with respect to what we would like to occur is fine, but I’m not [going to] dictate or even make it an issue of something of how they might vote.” To date, the Peninsula High School Stadium Lights Steering Committee has been formed and the PVPUSD has granted it permission to raise limited funds in order to develop necessary plans, documentations and estimated costs for the lights. “They haven’t reached the merits of this issue,” Zerunyan said. “I think to presuppose or prejudge the committee, their work or the impacts of the lights, before a full public hearing … is really premature.” Mitchell agreed and said the issue of concern to her was the potential overflow parking, and moving it to the Print Page Page 1 of 2Print Version 8/12/2010http://www.pvnews.com/articles/2010/08/12/local_news/news1.prt 3-63 Peninsula Shopping Center. Later in the evening, after discussion about the stadium lights was complete, a tenant from the shopping center presented a petition from other shop owners, including Pavilions and Pier 1 Imports opposing the parking. According to Director of Planning David Wahba, the Peninsula Shopping Center has a required number of parking spaces for its use. “For the School District, or anyone for that matter, to try and enter into a private agreement to encumber their parking — they have to run that through the city process,” he said. “The application would be [for] a variance because they don’t have extra parking to enter into a reciprocal parking agreement between the two uses.” Zuckerman said he hopes the school board takes a broader approach when weighing the options and considers the entire community. “It’s not a question if [we are for or against Friday night games]; it’s a question of how,” he said. “So that if Friday night games happen, they happen in a way that’s been considered and is as respectful as possible of all of the participants, so that whatever the outcome is, no one feels that they’ve been slipped by because of procedural entitlements.” Added Addleman, “If the project comes to our city’s process, there will be a public hearing and that will be the appropriate time to testify about the merits of the project.” rvillaneda@pvnews.com Page 2 of 2Print Version 8/12/2010http://www.pvnews.com/articles/2010/08/12/local_news/news1.prt 3-64 Staff Report City of Rolling Hills Estates DATE: AUGUST 10, 2010 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: DAVID WAHBA, PLANNING DIRECTOR NIKI CUTLER, AICP, PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR STADIUM LIGHTING AT PALOS VERDES PENINSULA HIGH SCHOOL OVERVIEW The purpose of this report is to discuss issues related to a proposal for stadium lighting at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School and request direction from the City Council. BACKGROUND A Peninsula Stadium Lights Steering Committee has been established to pursue a proposal to install stadium lighting at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (PVPHS). PVPHS is located within the City of Rolling Hills Estates in the I (Institutional) Zone. The proposal includes the installation of two 80’-high light poles on either side of the football field (for a total of four poles) at roughly the 15 yard lines. Each light pole would have twelve light fixtures (lumineres) mounted on them for a total of 48 light fixtures. The Steering Committee indicates that the lighting is desired to increase revenue to support athletic and other school programs via ticket sales and concessions, to increase the ability for parents and other adults to attend games given that games are currently held in the afternoon when many are working, to increase scheduling flexibility for sports such as lacrosse and soccer, to enhance community spirit, and to permit CIF games to be played at PVPHS. It is envisioned that the lights would be used for five night football games a year and two CIF games if the team is in the playoffs. Properties located in the City that are adjacent to PVPHS include eight homes on Via De La Vista and commercial properties in the Peninsula Center Commercial District. Otherwise, the school property is bordered by homes in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. A letter was received by the City expressing concern for the proposal as included herein as Attachment 1. The letter identifies potential environmental impacts of the proposed lighting and a desire for thorough environmental review. Importantly, although the property is located within the City, the school board can exempt itself from City zoning regulations subject to a 2/3 majority vote pursuant to Section 53094(b) of the California Government Code. Should the project be submitted to the City for review, a Special Use Permit would be required given the intensity of the lighting and that the light poles are greater than the 12’-high maximum provided for in Section 17.42.030 of the Municipal Code. 3-65 2 Unless the Board identifies and utilizes an applicable exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an environmental document would be required for the project. Assuming that the Board does not pursue an exemption, an Initial Study would need to be prepared to determine the correct environmental document for the project (i.e., a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report). The lighting proposal was presented to staff this past April, and the City Managers of Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates were notified by the Superintendent of Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD) that the Board of Education had received a presentation form the Steering Committee on June 24, 2010. Public comment regarding the item was heard before the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes on July 20, 2010. Materials related to the review of the issue by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes are included herein as Attachment 2 for information of the Council. The City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes took the following action: 1. Prepare a letter to PVPUSD, asking the District to mitigate all impacts related to stadium lighting and nighttime use to less-than-significant levels; 2. Prepare a letter to PVPUSD, asking the District to submit this proposal to full zoning and environmental review through the City of Rolling Hills Estates discretionary permit process; and 3. (That staff) attend the July 22, 2010 PVPUSD Board meeting and continue to monitor this proposal. This letter from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to the PVPUSD Board is provided herein as Attachment 3. The PVPUSD Board held a meeting regarding the item on July 22, 2010. After public testimony, the Board voted to authorize the PVPHS Steering Committee to raise limited funds in order to development necessary plans, documentation, and estimated costs for the installation of stadium lights at PVPHS. This was the next step in the process of review for the proposed stadium lights pursuant to Section 3290.1 of the PVPUSD Administrative Regulations (see Attachment 4). Staff at the PVPUSD indicates that, in general, a period of 3-4 months could elapse before the Steering Committee would complete fundraising efforts and be back before the board to present architectural documents. DISCUSSION Staff believes that it is appropriate for an environmental document to be prepared for the project. Therefore, staff believes that it would be appropriate for the City to send a letter to the Board encouraging that the appropriate environmental document be prepared and that all impacts be mitigated regardless of whether or not the Board chooses to exempt itself from the City’s zoning. Staff would like direction from the Council on whether or not the letter should include a request for the project to be submitted for Special Use Permit review. The advantage of having the project submitted for Special Use Permit review would be greater control over the use of the lights including, but not limited to, the number of times a year and hours that they may be used, the type and number of fixtures, requirements related to speaker noise, requirements for parking overflow, etc. Staff and the City Attorney believe that the Board would retain lead agency status for the environmental document regardless of whether or not the project is submitted for Special Use Permit review. The City would be a responsible agency if the Board does not exempt itself from the City’s zoning requirements. The City would be in a position to provide comment on the 3-66 3 project during public comment review periods for the environmental document whether or not it is a responsible agency. One further issue for consideration is related to the parking of overflow vehicles. The Steering Committee has indicated that the Peninsula Shopping Center has agreed to allow their parking lot to be used for overflow parking during games. The City Attorney believes that the City can enforce the conditions of approval for the Peninsula Shopping Center, which may impact the Center’s ability to enter into such an agreement and/or the terms and conditions of such an agreement. Any letter written to the Board should indicate the City’s position that any such agreement would require City input and review. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council discuss the issues and direct staff as appropriate. Exhibits Attached 1. Comment Letter Received by the City 2.

It is understood at this time that the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District Board is undecided regarding whether a categorical or statutory exemption will be utilized pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).The City of Rolling Hills Estates strongly believes that a CEQA exemption would not be appropriate for the project considering its potential to cause adverse environmental impacts and clear concern from the surrounding community. Therefore,the City urges that an Initial Study be conducted identifying all potential impacts of the proposed project,that the appropriate environmental document be completed ensuring ample opportunity for public comment,and that all environmental impacts be mitigated. Environmental issues that should be addressed include,but are not limited to,public safety, light and glare,traffic,parking,and noise. It is further understood that the Board has not made a determination regarding whether it will avail itself of an exemption from city zoning requirements pursuant to Section 53094(b)of the California Government Code.The professional Planning staff at the City of Rolling Hills Estates is willing and available to process the stadium lighting proposal.If the proposal is submitted to the City for zoning review,it would require,at a minimum,processing of a Special Use Permit for light pole height and lighting intensity that exceed the maximum permitted in the Rolling Hills Estates Municipal Code.It is incumbent upon the reviewing agency,whether the City or Board, to fairly consider all issues and environmental impacts related to the proposal.While the Board is foremost concerned with providing a quality education and opportunities for all students,the City trusts that the Board would consider impacts to the broader community when rendering a decision if the zoning exemption is utilized. 3-70 Finally,it has been stated by the Stadium Lights Steering Committee that off-street overflow parking for stadium events could be accommodated at the Peninsula Shopping Center in the City of Rolling Hills Estates.The Peninsula Shopping Center is governed by the Rolling Hills Estates Municipal Code which requires that adequate parking be provided for center tenants. Accordingly,any proposal for parking areas of the Peninsula Shopping Center to be utilized for uses other than center tenants would need to be reviewed and approved by the City. Opportunities may exist for parking areas to be shared between center tenants and other uses if it can be demonstrated that parking for center tenants would not be adversely impacted. The City appreciates the Board's consideration of the issues identified in this letter and is certain that the review process for the stadium lighting proposal will be conducted with the utmost transparency and attention to all community concerns. Please feel free to contact City Manager Doug Prichard at (310)377-1577,extension 101 or Planning Director David Wahba at (310)377-1577,extension 103 if you have any questions or comments. ~nCereIY, Yfl j/;hn-:'Addleman !Mayor ! cc:Mayor Pro Tem Steven Zuckerman Councilmember Judith Mitchell Councilmember Susan Seamans Councilmember Frank Zerunyan City of Rancho Palos Verdes City Council City of Rolling Hills City Council City of Palos Verdes Estates City Council 3-71
