BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On February 19, 1991, the City Council certified a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 55 for the Green Hills Cemetery Master Plan,
which called for the development of the cemetery site over the next 100 years.
1
On April 24, 2007, the Planning Commission certified a Mitigated Negative Declaration
and approved a Revision to CUP No. 55 (P.C. Resolution No. 2007-33), revising the
Green Hills Cemetery Master Plan for the development of the cemetery site over the
next 30 to 50 years, including additional grading to accommodate future interments and
the construction of mausoleum buildings. As part of this approval, Condition No. 5(A-1)
of Resolution No. 2007-33 requires an annual compliance review to assess Green Hills’
compliance with the CUP’s Conditions of Approval.
In 2014, the Planning Commission conducted the first annual review of the project,
which was appealed and heard by the City Council, as Section 17.60.50.D of the
Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code (RPVMC) requires all subsequent annual reviews
to be conducted by the same deciding body which took the final action. Accordingly, the
City Council has conducted the annual compliance reviews, finding that Green Hills was
operating in compliance with the Conditions of Approval and approving the following
salient revisions to the Conditions of Approval for the project.
November 17, 2015 – Allowing the mausoleum in Area 11 (i.e., Pacific
Terrace/Memorial Terrace) to remain in accordance with its 2007 approvals and
permits
January 31, 2017 – Reorganizing the conditions by topic and development area,
as well as to further clarify or enumerate the conditions
February 6, 2018 – Clarifying existing conditions, permitting a fence/wall along
the north and south property lines, improving dust control measures in Area 6,
and amending the hours of operations
No revisions to the Conditions of Approval were proposed at the March 19, 2019 annual
compliance review. The City Council received and filed the report, making an express
finding, for the reasons set forth in the staff report and based upon the oral
communications received during consideration of that item, that Green Hills Memorial
Park was in compliance with the Conditions of Approval of its CUP.
On January 21, 2020, the City Council heard the annual compliance review for the 2019
year, and also approved Revision “E” to the approved Conditional Use Permit No. 55,
via City Council Resolution No. 2020-03 (Attachment A), which implemented the
following revisions to the Conditions of Approval for the project:
Changed the Neighborhood Advisory Committee meeting frequency (Condition
No.17);
Allowed a temporary sign to be hung from the primary identification sign up to six
times a year (Condition No.18); and
Allowed a traveling half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to be
located on the property up to once per calendar year (Condition No. 20).
2020 Annual Compliance Review of the Existing Conditions of Approval
Conducting an annual compliance review provides an opportunity for the City Council to
assess the effectiveness of the existing conditions based on current operations and the
2
ability to add, delete, and modify conditions based on changed circumstances or
unforeseen impacts that may not have been addressed as part of the previous approval.
Over the past year, the City has been monitoring Green Hills’ compliance with the
Conditions of Approval adopted in Resolution No. 2020-03 (Attachment A) by the City
Council. The City’s compliance review is discussed in the following order:
1. Green Hills’ compliance with action items; and
2. Green Hills’ compliance with operational Conditions of Approval.
1. Compliance with Action Items
Below are salient conditions that require specific actions to be taken in a certain time
period. Conditions that have already been met and addressed in previous annual
reviews are not included below.
Condition No. 2 – This condition outlines the review process for improvement
requests allowed pursuant to the Conditions of Approval, including the proper
decision-making body for certain applications, the public noticing process, and
the appeal process. All improvement requests (see below) over the past year
have been properly processed in accordance with this condition, and Green Hills
is in compliance with this condition. Specifically, Green Hills submitted the
following applications in 2020:
Grading Permit (Case No. PLGR2020-0006) - In October 2020, Green
Hills submitted an application for a Major Grading Permit for a proposal to
conduct 2,200 cubic yards of balanced grading (1,100 cubic yards of cut
and 1,100 cubic yards of fill) to accommodate the installation of vaults in
unimproved portions of the Alta Vista Gardens area in Area 2 (Inspiration
Slope) of the Master Plan. A public notice was mailed out on December
10, 2020 to all property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the project
site for comments, and the report was approved by the Director on
February 23, 2021. A 15-day appeal period will run through Wednesday,
March 10.
Condition No. 17 – This condition requires Green Hills to establish a
Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC) to meet at least once each calendar
year, but no more than four times per calendar year and provide reports to the
City Council.
The NAC was established in 2017, and prior to 2020, meetings occurred
quarterly at City Hall, with the meeting summaries provided to the City Council
through the Weekly Administrative Report. However, Condition No. 17 was
modified in 2020 per City Council Resolution No. 2020-03 to instead require at
least one, but no more than four meetings, per calendar year. Staff held a virtual
NAC meeting in September 2020. The meeting summary was inadvertently not
included in an Administrative Weekly Report immediately after the meeting, and
so it has been included in the February 24, 2021 Administrative Weekly Report.
3
The minutes of the meeting are also available on the City’s Green Hills webpage
at the following link: http://www.rpvca.gov/376/Green-Hills-Memorial-Park-
Master-Plan. Because at least one meeting was held during the 2020 calendar
year, and because the meeting summary was provided to the City Council via the
Administrative Weekly Report, Green Hills is in compliance with this condition.
Condition Nos. 24 and 25 – These conditions require Green Hills to submit
permit documentation for the following:
o Fuel storage from the South Coast Air Quality Management District and
Los Angeles County Fire Prevention Bureau;
o Chemical storage from the Los Angeles County Fire Department;
Hazardous Maintenance Division Section and Fire Prevention Bureau;
o Crematory operations from the South Coast Air Quality Management
District; and
o Current and valid permits and/or licenses from the State Cemetery and
Funeral Bureau.
On November 2, 2020, Green Hills submitted all the required permits
(Attachment B). Therefore, Green Hills is in compliance with Condition Nos. 24
and 25.
Condition No. 31 – This condition requires Green Hills to submit any map to the
Director to be recorded at least 30 days prior to the recording of the said map
with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s Office. On April 21, 2020,
Green Hills submitted eight maps (Attachment D) to be recorded after May 21,
2020. Therefore, Green Hills is in compliance with Condition No. 31.
In summary, based on the discussion above, Staff has determined that Green Hills is in
compliance with the action item conditions.
2. Compliance with Operational Conditions
The Conditions of Approval regulate operations at Green Hills Memorial Park to
minimize impacts to neighboring properties. The salient operational conditions include,
but are not limited to, the following:
Condition No. 14 (Noise)
Condition No. 16 (Security)
Condition No. 19 (Construction)
Condition No. 20 (Hours of Operation)
Over the past year, Staff has been tracking public concerns related to the operation of
the cemetery and the applicability and enforcement of the Conditions of Approval. Most
of the few complaints received during the 2020 calendar year were submitted to Staff
via phone. These primarily consisted of complaints about dust being generated near
the south property line. At the time of each complaint, Staff contacted Green Hills
representatives to remind them of dust control requirements and request that they spray
4
down any construction areas. Mitigation Measure AQ-2 states that all unpaved
construction areas shall be watered at least twice a day during excavation and
construction to reduce dust emissions. Additionally, Staff visited the property in July
2020 and observed a water truck onsite.
In response to the public notice for this review, Staff received correspondence which
included complaints about noise on the roof of the Pacific Terrace Mausoleum caused
by visitors and the equipment used for the burials, the timing of visitors, and alcohol
use. (Attachment E). After the 2020 Compliance Review meeting, Green Hills made
some changes to the way landscaping was done on the roof, switching to quieter
battery-powered equipment. Additionally, because of noise issues raised at the 2020
meeting, Green Hills also installed new security devices that alert them when there is
activity on the mausoleum roof, so they can more closely monitor the area. Green Hills
also has a no-tolerance policy for alcohol, and if security is alerted and/or views alcohol
use, it will ask the visitors to leave. Regarding the equipment, a small backhoe is
commonly used to excavate for burials. Finally, the first photo on Page 7 of the
submitted packet shows visitors at night. However, Green Hills has informed Staff that
they go through the park systematically and remove all visitors at the close of the
property, with park hours as follows:
Park Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. – Pacific Standard Time
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. – Pacific Daylight Time
Mausoleum Hours: 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Pacific Standard Time
7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. – Pacific Daylight Time
The packet also included photos of the improved conditions on the back of the Pacific
Terrace. Green Hills had advised Staff in February 2020 that it listened to the comments
made at the compliance review meeting about the drainage issues behind the
mausoleum, and in response, reconfigured the drainage system and made a few
adjustments to the down spouts to improve the drainage.
In general, operational complaints submitted to Staff have substantially reduced over
the past few years. Representatives of the abutting Peninsula Verde Homeowners
Association (HOA) (to the north) and Rolling Hills Riviera HOA (to the south), who have
made complaints in the past, have indicated that the operational impacts have improved
over the past couple of years and that Green Hills has not only been responsive, but
proactive in addressing operational concerns. Additionally, Staff has received a report
from one of the NAC members that they contacted Nick Resich, Director of Buildings
and Park Maintenance of Green Hills, with requests to replant a shrub that had died
along the southern property line of Green Hills, as well as to clear the dead brush that
was located in the zone closest to their property line near Area 6, and both requests
were completed in a timely fashion. Staff believes that the number of complaints to the
City continues to decline because Green Hills has been preemptive in identifying and
addressing potential impacts before they become a problem, including informing
residents of upcoming large visitations and events. Therefore, Staff believes that Green
Hills is in compliance with its operational conditions for 2020.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Public Notice
On February 11, 2021, a 15-day public notice inviting public comments was provided to
all property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the site (expanded beyond the required
500-foot radius), affected homeowners’ associations, listserv subscribers, members of
the NAC, and published in the Peninsula News.
Public Comments
Staff received one email in response to the public notice, which is discussed above.
Additionally, as noted above, over the past year, Staff received concerns from
neighbors via telephone regarding operations at Green Hills. Major concerns are
discussed in detail within the “Compliance with Operational Conditions” section of this
staff report.
COVID-19 Related Operational Changes
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated Los Angeles County Department of Public
Health mandates have required Green Hills to adjust its operations, including the
numbers of mourners at funerals. Additionally, the pandemic caused Green Hills to
cancel the Moving Wall exhibit that was to be first exhibited over Memorial Day
weekend 2020. Green Hills is tentatively planning on bringing the wall to the property for
Memorial Day weekend 2021, with the first day of installation to occur on Thursday, May
27. If allowed by local health mandates, the installation and exhibition will be conducted
in accordance with Condition No. 20.5 of City Council Resolution No. 2020-03.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Identify areas of concern regarding the property owner’s compliance with the
Council-adopted Conditions of Approval and direct Staff to address these
concerns at a future public hearing.
2. Direct Staff to further revise the language and/or conditions based upon City
Council discussion and public comment and continue this matter to a future
public hearing.
3. Determine that Green Hills is not in compliance with the City Council-adopted
Conditions of Approval and provide Staff and Green Hills with further direction.
4. Take no action.

Development Code; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on January 21,
2020, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and
present evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: CEQA Findings. Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"),
the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et.
seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f)
(Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), this decision by the City Council (i)
constitutes minor modification to the existing Conditions of Approval of the Green Hills
Master Plan Conditional Use Permit; and (ii) will not have a significant effect on the
environment. Therefore, this decision is not subject to CEQA pursuant to California Code
of Regulations Sections 15061 (b)(2), and 15301.
Section 2: Municipal Code Findings for Granting Compliance Review and
Modifications to Conditions. This is a de novo hearing where the City Council has
considered the evidence before it. The City Council finds that this use dates back to 1948
and was annexed to the City in 1984 with the original Master Plan approved in 1991,
revised Master Plan approved in 2007 and which has been updated from time to time, an
Annual Review commenced in 2014 was approved with modified conditions in 2015, an
Annual Review approved with modified conditions in 2017, an annual review approved
with modified conditions in 2018, and the most recent annual review approved in 2019.
There is no expansion of the use beyond the Revised Master Plan, and additional
conditions have been imposed to minimize impacts to surrounding properties and protect
community health, safety, and general welfare. The changes to the conditions being
proposed do not affect the validity of the findings made in Resolution No. 2018-07.
Accordingly the Council finds:
A. That the site is adequate in size and shape to accommod.ate the proposed
use and for all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other
features required by this title or by conditions imposed .under this section to
Resolution No. 2020-03
Page 3 of 8 A-3
integrate said use with those on adjacent land and within the neighborhood. To.
wit:
Green Hills Memorial Park's entrance is located at 27501 Western Avenue in the
northeast corner of the City, bordering the City of Lomita, the City of Rolling Hills
Estates, and the City of Los Angeles. The property is approximately 121 acres in size,
and is a privately owned and operated cemetery facility. Approximately 1 ,800 burials
occur annually at the cemetery. The site is, therefore, of a size and shape that allows
its use as a cemetery facility, including all required setbacks, landscaping and other
features. The entrance is sufficient to accommodate traffic into and out of the
cemetery.
The cemetery abuts residential properties to the north and south, a church complex
and reservoir land to the west, and residential and undeveloped land to the east (site
of the proposed Highpark residential development), across Western Avenue. The use
of the property is thus consistent with surrounding uses and the adjacent
neighborhood as a low-density development.
B. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient
to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use. To wit:
Green Hills Memorial Park has been in existence at this location since 1948. Its main
I
entrance is located on Western Avenue, a major thoroughfare that accommodates the I
amount of vehicular traffic to and from the cemetery. The proposed changes to the
conditions will not negatively affect the traffic on Western Avenue as two of the
changes will not create additional traffic (event sign and Neighborhood Advisory
Committee meeting frequency), and Western Avenue will be sufficient to handle any
additional traffic that may be created by the third amendment, which allows a traveling
half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, "The Moving Wall", to be displayed
on the property once per calendar year. The cemetery also has an additional access
road off Palos Verdes Drive North that leads to the cemetery's maintenance yard,
which alleviates potential construction vehicle traffic congestion at the entrance on
Western Avenue.
C. That, in approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no
significant adverse effects on adjacent property or the permitted use thereof.
To wit:
The conditions imposed mn'llmlze impacts on neighboring properties. Conditions
address, among other issues: parking, grading, noise, landscaping, setbacks,
mitigation monitoring, Master Plan compliance reviews, dust, emissions by
construction vehicles and equipment, construction, dirt storage, lighting, employee
training and complaints, trash and debris, storage of equipment and supplies, fences,
signage, and storm water mitigation. This is further described in Finding E below.
D. That the proposed use is not contrary to the general plan. To wit:
Resolution No. 2020-03
Page 4 of 8
I
A-4
I
I
I
Green Hills Memorial Park is consistent with the General Plan's Cemetery zoning
designation of the site, and with the types of land uses permitted within the
Development Code's Cemetery land use designation. Further, the changes to the
Neighborhood Advisory Committee meeting frequency and the addition of a temporary
sign to the primary identification sign site will have no effect on the policies of the
General Plan. Also, The Moving Wall will help to serve the political, cultural, and social
needs of the residents.
E. That conditions regarding any of the requirements listed in this Section,
which the City Council finds to be necessary to protect the health, safety, and
general welfare, have been imposed. To wit:
a. Setbacks and buffers;
b. Fences or walls;
c. Lighting;
d. Vehicular ingress and egress;
e. Noise, vibration, odors and similar emissions;
f. Landscaping;
g. Maintenance of structures, grounds, or signs;
h. Service roads or alleys; and
i. Such other conditions as will make possible development of the City in an orderly
and efficient manner and in conformity with the intent and purposes set forth in this
title.
Some minor changes to the. conditions of approval are proposed as part of the Annual
Review, which will also meet the intent of this condition.
Section 4: Compliance Review. Pursuant to Condition of Approval No. 22.N-3
contained in Resolution No. 2018-07, which states that: "The City Council shall conduct
an annual review or as deemed necessary by the City Council to review the property
owner's compliance with all conditions of approval associated with the Master Plan. At
that time, the City Council may add, delete, or modify the conditions of approval as
deemed necessary and appropriate. Notice of said review hearing shall be published and
provided to owners of property within a 500! foot radius, to persons requesting notice, to
all affected homeowners associations, and to the property owner in accordance with
Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code Section 17. 80. 090". This annual review
considers the approved amendments to the Master Plan's Conditions of Approval and
has determined that Green Hills is in compliance with action and operational conditions.
The City Council has the ability to add, delete, or modify the conditions of approval as
deemed necessary and appropriate. Accordingly, the conditions of approval that are
approved by this Resolution, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 'A' and incorporated
herein by this reference, are hereby added to the Green Hills Master Plan.
Section 5: Modification of Conditions. Attached hereto as Exhibit 'A' are
conditions governing this use, both existing and modified conditions, all incorporated
Resolution No. 2020-03
Page 5 of 8 A-5
herein. As set forth above, this determination includes amending three existing conditions
of approval of the Green Hills Master Plan to change the Neighborhood Advisory I
Committee meeting frequency, allow a sign advertising special events and daylight
savings time changes to be hung periodically from the primary identification sign, and
allow the temporary installation of the "Moving Wall" traveling half-size replica of the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The amendments to the conditions are summarized and
shown below with the deleted text shown strike through and the new text in bold, italic
and underlined:
A. Condition No. 17 is amended to reduce the frequency of the Neighborhood
Advisory Committee meetings, as follows:
17. Green Hills Cemetery Neighborhood Advisory Committee. Green Hills
shall establish a neighborhood advisory committee, consisting of two
representatives and one observer from the Peninsula Verde and the Rolling
Riviera homeowner's associations, as well as a representative from City Staff.
The Committee shall meet at least once each calendar year, but no more
than four times per calendar year every quarter during normal business
hours to review any operational and neighborhood concerns. Reports on the
meeting shall be provided to the City Council.
B. Condition No. 18 is amended to allow an internally-illuminated sign to be hung I
periodically from the primary identification sign to advertise special events and
semiannual Daylight Saving Time changes, as follows:
18.a The property owner shall be allowed to hang an internally-illuminated
sign from the primary identification sign located adjacent to South
Western Avenue that shall advertise no more than four annual events
and no more than two hours-of-operation changes (due to the
semiannual Davlight Saving Time changes) at various times throughout
the year, subject to the following:
i. The temporary sign shall be internally-illuminated with LEDs, the same
as the primary identification sign. The temporary sign shall be allowed

Summary of Discussion
I. Introductions and Opening Remarks
II. Project/construction update at Green Hills Memorial Park.
The group discussed several questions posed by David Turner, including what had
occurred with a disturbance on Sunday August 30th, when the sheriff was called. Mr.
Resich stated that the sheriff came and although the people returned the next day, there
was no drinking and music. Mr. Turner also asked about if Green Hills’ security was
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Mr. Resich responded that the physical
security is onsite until 10pm, however, if anyone calls the main security line after that, they
will get an after-hours number to call for emergencies. Mr. Turner also asked if security
stops for music issues, versus just driving by, if they could close down the facility starting
at the north wall at the end of the day, if there is just one security guard at closing time,
and what enforcement there is for alcohol consumption.
Mr. Resich stated that security does stop their vehicle for music complaints. He also stated
that the facility has a certain process they go through to close down the property. He also
stated that there is usually just one security guard, but sometimes they can have more
than one for certain events. He also stated that there is a zero tolerance policy for alcohol.
III. Questions and Comments
Some discussion ensued between the NAC members, Green Hills and City staff about the

Ara / Amy
In a continuing commitment to the neighbors and the city I wanted to forward you some pictures of behind the
Pacific Terrace Mausoleum. During the CUP review a comment came up about standing water and smell behind the
Mausoleum. During the past few weeks we redid the drainage and made a few adjustments to the down spouts. We
also made some adjustments to our landscape equipment used on the roof top. We now use the battery powered
units when we landscaping to help with any noise conflicts the neighbors might have. Lastly we have new security
devises in use that alert us to activity. We will continue to monitor and be vigilant about any neighbor concerns.
Thank you for all your help.
Thanks

Re: Annual Compliance Review of Conditional Use permit No 55 for the GH
Dear City Council members,
I know it is almost useless to send you all this because there is not much to be done – GH will get its
compliance approval any way. I’m sending it because I would like you to know what we have to deal
with on a daily basis and because you showed willingness to do the right thing… The slime and sludge
down the drain is gone, only some is left on the wall around the gutters. Thank you for helping with that
issue! Keep in mind what happened to us so please don’t allow other parts of the neighborhood to
suffer.
People partying or morning on the top are like on our property and this is not going to change no matter
how annoying is. They stay late, listen to loud music, talk loudly – actually, because they are so close, we
can hear them even with closed window. Working form home this year… I really could understand the
frustration of my retired (stay home) neighbors… Huge bulldozers shaking the building, noisy burials… I
am not surprised that 6 or 7 of my neighbors sold their units and moved away. I would too if I could
afford it… see the pics below for some examples of what we have witnessed. I also have attached a
video /audio of the evening “entertainment” we had.
Thank you for your time!!!

Having noisy party from morning to late afternoon:
E-5
Then, the security had to come to tell them that it is late and they are supposed to go….
E-6
And, why not sunbathing ʠ
E-7
And, why not looking down to check the pool of the neighbors?
Before drinking Modelo beer? Something they definitely cannot do when on the lower, exposed to the
security level.
E-8
E-9
Or running dogs and kids yelling
E-10
Or playing loud music at night… Yes, at the evening, because there is no way to control what’s going on
on the top…
When there is a burial, 2 day on a row we have the following:

That is how the new gutters look now. As I said, at least there is no slime and sludge down in the drain
as before!

The green cover over the fence is ripped off and down on the ground. Partially visible on the picture.
