BACKGROUND:
On June 6, 2017, the City Council received a report regarding the procedure to annex
three residential properties from the City of Los Angeles (1908, 1910, and 1912 Rue Le
Charlene) and directed Staff to move forward with the annexation request.
On February 20, 2018, Rajendra Makan (Applicant), the property owner of 1908 Rue Le
Charlene, submitted General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map Amendment
Initiation Requests to the Planning Division to consider the proposed annexation and
pre-zoning of the three Rue Le Charlene properties.
On April 17, 2018, the City Council considered the Initiation Request and initiated
amendment proceedings to the City’s General Plan Land Use and Zoning maps. This
first step allowed the Applicant to proceed with the formal review process to annex and
establish General Plan Land Use and Zoning Map designations for the project si tes.
On June 25, 2018, the Applicant submitted formal applications for the request, which
were considered by the Planning Commission on September 11, 2018. At this meeting,
the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution No. 2018-24 (Attachment B),
recommending to the City Council the adoption of an ordinance approving a General
Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map Amendments to pre-zone the three properties on
Rue Le Charlene as Single-Family Residential (RS-2) at 1-2 Dwelling Units per Acre.
On October 16, 2018, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing, and
introduced the proposed General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map Amendments for
a first reading (Attachment C). On November 8, 2018, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 613 (Attachment D) approving the General Plan Land Use Map and
Zoning Map Amendments. With the approval of the amendments, the Applicant
proceeded with the formal annexation application by submitting the application to the
Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Section 99 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, for specified
jurisdictional changes, the governing bodies of affected agencies must negotiate and
determine the amount of property tax revenue to be exchanged between the affected
agencies with completion of the jurisdictional boundary reorganization . On September 2,
2020, Staff received notification from the Los Angeles County Chief Executive Office
2
(Attachment E) requesting that the City consider the adoption of a Joint Tax Transfer
Resolution (Attachment A). The affected agencies, including the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors, as governing body of the county and the Consolidated Fire
Protection District; the City Council of Rancho Palos Verdes; the City Council of Los
Angeles; and the governing bodies of the Palos Verdes Library District, the Los Angeles
County West Vector Control District, and the Greater Los Angeles County Vector
Control District, have determined the amount of property tax revenue to be exchanged
between their respective agencies as set forth in the attached Joint Tax Transfer
Resolution. Based on the proposed tax transfer, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes will
receive $1,710 in property tax revenue from this transfer with it possibly growing by 2%
Consumer Price Index (CPI) annually. It should be noted that the resolution includes
seven pages for original signatures to ensure that each of the affected agencies
receives a fully executed resolution with original signatures.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Environmental Assessment
Staff has determined that this matter is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under Article 19, Section 15319(b)
(Annexations of Existing Facilities and Lots for Exempt Facilities) of the California
Guidelines for Implementation of the CEQA. This action involves the adoption of a Joint
Tax Transfer Resolution associated with the annexation of three small parcels of the
minimum size for facilities exempted by Section 15303 (New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures). Specifically, each lot is improved with one single-family
residence within an urbanized area and a residential zoning district.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Identify any issues of concern with the Joint Tax Transfer Resolution, provide
Staff with direction in modifying the resolution, and continue the matter to a date
certain.
2. Do not adopt the Joint Tax Transfer Resolution. This alternative will halt the
LAFCO process.

land use designations and zoning at the site and for which environmental
review has already occurred.
G. The proposed project will not give the City the legal authority to alter in any
