MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR BRADLEY AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: KEN RUKAVINA, PE, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
OCTAVIO SILVA, PLANNING MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 10, 2022
SUBJECT: LATE CORRESPONDENCE-AUGUST grH PLANNING COMMISSION
ACTION TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE FINAL DRAFT 2021-2029 HOUSING
ELEMENT
As part of the Planning Commission's regularly scheduled meeting on August 9, 2022,
the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution No. 2022-11 (Attached),
recommending that the City Council adopt a Negative Declaration and approve a
General Plan Amendment for the Final Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element (Case No.
PLGP2022-0001 ).
The Planning Commission's approval included staff recommended modifications to site
justification for Site Nos. 17 and 18 (Marymount California University) of the Housing
Site Inventory (Attached) to correct inaccuracies to site characteristics. Additionally,
staff recommended eliminating the proposed 43 additional units on the developed
portion of the campus, which were not previously included in the draft housing element,
and only retain the previously identified 20 above-moderate units on the undeveloped
portions of the Marymount properties. This recommendation was made as potential
rezoning of the developed portions of the campus should be eliminated at this time, as
university representatives indicated a pending sale will be closing within the next few
weeks.

P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-11
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL CERTIFY A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND APPROVE
A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE FINAL 2021-2029
HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE (CASE NO. PLGP2022-0001)
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes is required by State Housing law to
update the Housing Element of its General Plan for the next planning period covering 2021-
2029 (6 th Cycle) to include policies, strategies, and actions to facilitate the construction of
new housing and preservation of existing housing to meet the needs of the City's
population during the 6th Cycle period as well as to accommodate the City's Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation for new housing units in various income
categories throughout the City; and,
WHEREAS, on August 25, 2021, the City Council and the Planning Commission
conducted a joint-study session as part of an extensive community engagement process,
which also included on-line surveying, messaging, stakeholder interviews and workshops to
collect public comments on the drafting of the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update; and
WHEREAS, on October 12, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing to hear public testimony, review and comment on the Draft Housing
Element; and,
WHEREAS, on October 19, 2021, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing
to hear public testimony, review and comment on the Draft Housing Element. The City
Council directed Staff to make minor modifications and forward the revised Draft Housing
Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for
review; and,
WHEREAS, on November 19, 2021, the Draft Housing Element was transmitted to
HCD for review and comment; and,
WHEREAS, on January 18, 2022, HCD provided written comments to the City on the
Draft Housing Element; and,
WHEREAS, on May 17, 2022, HCD staff visited the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,
which included a tour of the City to better understand site constraints and challenges facing
the City in the identification of new housing sites; and
WHEREAS, on July 25, 2022, a public notice was published in the Daily Breeze
informing the public of the Planning Commission's consideration of recommendations to the
P.C. Resolution No. 2022-11
Page 1 of 4
City Council to adopt a Negative Declaration and approve a General Plan Amendment for
the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element Update; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State CEQA Guidelines,
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et. seq.; the City's Local CEQA
Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65952.S(e) (Hazardous Waste and Substances
Statement), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes prepared an Initial Study and determined that,
there is no substantial evidence that the approval of the General Plan Amendment for the
updated Housing Element would result in a significant adverse effect on the environment.
More specifically, the Housing Element is a policy document that will guide the process of
developing residential units within the City into the foreseeable future and does not include
any physical changes to the environment at this time including mandating the construction
of new housing units. The City's General Plan Housing Element will not result in or create
any significant impacts to Aesthetics, Agriculture Resources, Air Quality, Biological
Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology/Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions,
Hazards/Hazardous Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Land Use/Planning, Mineral
Resources, Noise, Population/Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation/Traffic,
or Utilities/Service Systems. Accordingly, a Negative Declaration was prepared and notice
of that fact was given in the manner required by law; and,
WHEREAS, the Initial Study was prepared and distributed for circulation and review
from January 13, 2022 through February 14, 2022; and,
WHEREAS, after issuing notice pursuant to the requirements of the City's Zoning
Code and the State CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes held a public hearing on August 9, 2022, at which time all interested parties
were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
reference.
Section 2: The update to the City's General Plan Housing Element is necessary to
comply with State law and is consistent with the General Plan.
Section 3: The proposed project is an amendment to the Rancho Palos Verdes
General Plan Housing Element in accordance with State Law requirements. The Housing
Element is a policy document that includes policies, strategies, and actions to facilitate the
construction of new housing and preservation of existing housing to meet the needs of the
City's population. As such, the proposed amendment will not create or result in any
significant impacts to the General Plan, Zoning Code, nor be in conflict with any applicable
P.C. Resolution No. 2022-11
Page 2 of 4
environmental plans or policies, be incompatible with existing land uses, affect agricultural
resources, or disrupt the physical arrangement of the established community. Therefore,
there will be no significant land use or planning impacts associated with this project.
Section 4: The proposed project does not include any physical modifications or
alterations of the existing land or structures. Any physical modifications or alterations to
existing land and/or structures as a result of the project objectives will be addressed
through separate environmental analysis consistent with CEQA. As such, there will be no
significant exposure to Aesthetics, Agriculture Resources, Air Quality, Biological
Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology/Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions,
Hazards/Hazardous Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Land Use/Planning, Mineral
Resources, Noise, Population/Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation/Traffic,
or Utilities/Service Systems, as a result of the proposed project. Further, for this reason, the
proposed project does not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable, nor have environmental impacts that would cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, directly or indirectly.
Section 5: As discussed in the Initial Study, which is incorporated herein by
reference, the project does not have any potential to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals, nor will the project have impacts which are
individually limited, but cumulatively considerable.
Section 6: The Planning Commission finds that the Final Housing Element, which
includes all revisions to the Draft Housing Element that was originally submitted to HCD on
November 19, 2021, adequately responds to the concerns addressed by HCD.
Section 7: For the foregoing reasons and based on its independent review and
evaluation of the information and findings contained in the Initial Study, Staff Reports,
minutes, and records of the proceedings, the Planning Commission has determined that
the project will not result in a significant adverse impact on the environment. Therefore, the
Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council certify the Negative
Declaration/Initial Study (Attached Exhibit A) and approve the Final Housing Element
(Attached Exhibit B), which includes revisions requested by HCD, in order to further
encourage the provision of housing in a manner which adequately serves the needs of all
present and future community residents in compliance with State law.

Dear Planning Commission,
I am a member of the Mira Catalina Homeowner's Association Board.
Our community would be angered to learn of any plans to change the RHNA numbers for Marymount at this late
moment for several reasons:
1. Timing:
Leave as is. No more than 20 specified housing at moderate/market.
Marymount has a soon to be pending sale. It is imminent. No need to make a change when the sale could dictate a
different outcome.
2. Allow a future developer to address the RHNA issue.
3. Don't give away 43 units when the future is undetermined in a short period of time.
Thank you,
Scott

Re : Response to email received 8/8/22 with potential sudden changes in the Draft Housing Element
We are responding to the disturbing email we received yesterday at 3:02pm from the Deputy Director of Planning,
whereby potentially drastic changes to the Housing Element were identified. Please acknowledge the following
comments with respect to Marymount:
1. Lois and I met with Ara and Ken last November to offset a potential firestorm from the community regarding the topic
of RHNA allocation for the Marymount property. This occurred in the wake of the Miraleste community's uproar about
affordable housing in that nearby commerical area . After much deliberation, we agreed to no more than 15-20
"moderate to market" rate homes, and identified specific locations . To our surprise, we were informed that an
addditional 43 units of low to moderate income homes were being added to the Site as a result of the closure and
pending sale of the college . Not only was this information untimely, given the short notice, but there has been no public
comment afforded the community for this illogical number totaling 63 units. This action is unprecedented in our City
and does not constitute due process . Our communities would stage a huge turnout if such a change were to actually
take place with zero public input.
2. Of extreme importance is the fact that Marymount is being sold in short order. For RHNA purposes, the Council
should leave the Site in an 'as is' state, and allow the new bu

yers to address any concerns regarding parking, traffic a /.
potential RHNA allocations. It is precipitous to include this for the sake of just filling in spaces. These are mega million
dollar views for any potential buyer.
3. Somer errors of note in the draft of 8/8:
a. page 481 of the housing element states that public transportation stops at this site. PV Transit stops there twice a
day but that does not meet the standard of public transportation requirements. In the current legislation from
Sacramento when public transportation is referenced it means there is a public bus that runs on a daily schedule of at
least every 18 minutes. The narrow, winding road and this potential amount of traffic added to PVDE is
unconscionable. T
b. Site 17 (page 480) notes "vacant steep hillside lot..." the land is actually perfectly flat.
c. The email also mentioned that the city is proposing rezoning part of the property. Rezoning would require a
public hearing. We should not concern ourselves with that until we know how the future owners plan to use this
property. The zoning should remain unchanged at this time.
With all these errors leading up to the meetings scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday, and the fact that on Monday
afternoon, the city website was blank with zero information on agendas, staff reports and the Revised Housing element,
this constitutes insufficient public notice. RPV should not be proceeding with a final vote until all items in this Housing
element are properly corrected, circulated and the public has had proper notice so they can exercise their right to have
their voices hear at these meetings. The demands placed by Sacramento on the City represent yet another unfunded
mandate. We request you leave the parcel as is and submit your plan as a 'Working Document'. You may not meet their
absurd 'one-size-fits all' numbers, but you are on record as responding in an appropriate manner.
To assist the City in complying with the new August 16th deadline, we have attached revised Site 17 and 18 narratives in
accordance with the discussions that we have had with the City Manager.

Site Acreage : 3.71
current zoning: Institutional
Proposed Zoning : RM -3
Proposed Density: 3 d .u./acre
Total Unit Potential: 12
RHNA Category : Above Moderate
This site is currently undeveloped and is adjacent to
Marymount California University . It is being offered for
sale along with the adjacent University property. Being
th e only undeveloped, essentially flat real estate in the
area, it holds the potential for residential development in
the market rate category . While the future use of the
Marymount University site is unknown as of this writing,
this site has the potential to be developed independently
or in concert with the University site .
Communication exchanged with local homeowner
associations tended to support of the proposed housing
density as outlined in the Potential Housing Sites
inventory.
There is no regularly scheduled public transit within
more than a mile of this location.
Site Acreage: 20.87
Current Zoning: Institutional
Proposed Zoning: Mixed Density
Proposed Density : 1 d.u./acre
Total Unit Potential: 8
RHNA Category : Above Moderate
This site has been developed over the last half century
into what is now Marymount California University. The
real estate on which its buildings stand and the adjacent
parking are on the market as Marymount has been
forced to close its doors due to financial instability. The
future use of this site will depend on a buyer's
intentions. The site has beautiful, expansive island and
ocean views rarely rivaled by surrounding residential
properties. As a large site, it has the potential to develop
horizontally rather than vertically.
The hillside topography below the current buildings
~---------------L affords the ability to notch multilevel home sites into the
existing steep slope. The proposed density is based on
three criteria: to preserve the institutional facility in its
current form for future users in higher education; to
preserve the sensitive habitat and vegetation on the
southwestern slope; and to manage the existing steep
southern slopes which are more suitable for high-end
housing that could afford to engineer and build home
sites that would be stable on a steep slope.
There is no regularly scheduled public transit within
more than a mile of this location .

Our community would be angered to learn of any plans to change the RHNA numbers for Marymount at this late

1. Timing:
Leave as is. No more than 20 specified housing at moderate/market.
Marymount has a soon to be pending sale. It is imminent. No need to make a change when the sale could dictate a

2. Allow a future developer to address the RHNA issue.

Octavio,
I just read the final draft report for the Housing Element and to my surprise it included the actual
Marymount College facility. They are suggesting that there could be 43 residential housing units placed
in this area which would 18 low income and 25 above moderate income . So you decreased the 44 units
to 20 in the property adjacent, which is still unacceptable as I had written in my previous emails BUT
now you have the actual Marymount College property in the proposal as a possibility of 43 additional
housing units . It is my hope that you scrap that idea entirely from the proposal. After all shouldn't you
wait until there is an actual buyer for that property?
Additionally in the statement regarding the adjacent Marymount property that proposes 20 sites there
was comment attached to that site feasibility that said:
"Communication exchanged with local homeowner associations were in support of the proposed
housing density as outlined in the Potential Housing Sites inventory."
Unfortunately I am not a part of any local homeowner association as I live on the upper part of
Ganado. They are making statements that DO NOT represent the totality of this area not involved in the
homeowner association, and I am sure my fellow neighbors that have previously commented on this
project would be upset that their views were being lumped in with a homeowners association whose
views they do not agree with. 1.
If this email should be forwarded on to another RPV city contact associated with the project please do
so, as I am not sure if you are still the contact for these communications.

Hello,
As an interested party on the Rancho Palos Verdes 2021 -2029 Housing Element
Update, please see project information below regarding the environmental
review process.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA}, the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes is required to conduct an environmental review of the proposed
2021-2029 Housing Element Update. On January 13, the Community
Development Department will issue a public notice of its intent to adopt a
Negative Declaration (ND} for the proposed project, a copy of which is available to
review here . As part of this effort, the Community Development Department has
completed an Initial Study (IS} that evaluated the potential environmental impacts
of the proposed project and determined that the project will not result in
significant environmental impacts. A copy of the IS document is available for
review here . More specifically, the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update serves a
policy framework to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA} of 647
(including an 8-unit carry-over from the City's 5th Cycle Housing Element}.
As part of the notice, the Community Development Department welcomes and
will consider all public comments regarding the potential environmental impacts
of the project as addressed in the IS/ND. The 30-day public review period begins
on Thursday, January 13 and ends Monday, February 14. Written comments can

Dear Planning Commissioners
Please take into consideration the following issues with the
Draft Housing Element (DHE):
-Does this DHE, especially ADUs, take into consideration local Homeowners Association development
standards? Or does it override any HOA development standards? If so, have the HOAs been notified?
-You are being asked to approve a Negative Declaration (ND) for this proposal.
The DHE has many mandates for development standards for Western Ave ., one of which would add over 300
dwelling units. Western Ave. already has heavily burdened traffic. How can a ND be approved if there has
been no environmental study done for traffic impacts?
Even if a ND is approved, in reading the "Consequences of Non-Compliance" please answer the question of
whether or not this ND overrides any further environmental study or EIR for these additional units? Or if there
is an EIR for the additional units, will the City Council, because of the "non-compliance consequences" of the
HE, be forced to write an overriding consideration if a significant impact is concluded, including traffic along
Western Ave.?
These are important issues that the community needs to clearly understand.
Thank you for your consideration on these matters and your service on the Commission,
Jim Knight

CAU T ION : This email ori inated from outside 0f the Git 0f Ramcho Palos Verdes.
Thanks for collecting comments from the residents .
Like many others, I think the state mandate is a huge over-reach .
(Imagine much grumbling and cussing at this point ... )
But, if this is a law the city must live with, and assuming we must pick from the 30 sites you have identified, here is my
list:
4 -Salvation Army site, a must-use for the 328 very low and low income group.
7 through 14 -Row of properties, North side of Silver Spur
16 -Hillside land facing Montemalga
19 through 21-Bank, All Pets, Smart & Final area on Western
1 I
23 -part of the large Bank building on Western
27 through 29 -Steak house area, adjacent to existing condos
This group meets the state requirement with minimal overshoot
Very Low & Low: 401 vs. 392 req'd
Moderate: 125 vs. 125 req'd
Moderate Plus: 166 vs. 155 req'd
I put together an Excel spreadsheet (attached).
You put an "x" in the left column, and that site is included.
The small table at the top shows the totals, vs. the state requirement.
It was interesting to see what different sets of picks did to the totals.

Dear PC,
I am opposed to the related re-zoning to meet the city's need for affordable housing units.
The potential sites for use appear to be Chase Bank, All Pets, Smart and Final, Carls Jr. the 3 three
story building on the East side of Western adjacent the closed Marie Callendars, Papa Johns Pizza,
Valvoline Oil, American Tires, Think Prime, strip mall south Think Prime, Brick Oven ...... as far as I
can tell.
I
I have previously contacted the city manager regarding some RHRHOA discussion sharing worries
the Terraces shopping center is targeted as a potential use for RPV"s affordable housing unit, yet I
found no information targeting the Terraces as a potential housing unit use.
It would be very nice for the planning commission to paint a clearer picture for the public.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE HOA BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
View this email in your browser
One of our neighbors on Avenida Aprenda has followed the Housing Element at length and
this is her summary for our area. We all appreciate the work that Barbara Stattler has done.
*************************************************
Thank you to all who have submitted comments -it made a difference!
The RPV Final Draft of the Housing Element is greatly improved from the previous draft
version:
1 I
• potential new housing units on Western have been reduced from 768 new units to 340
new units.
• The Terraces Shopping Center is no longer considered a potential site for new housing.
• potential housing sites have been designated more evenly throughout the city.
Attached is an annotated copy of Figure 81 of the Final Draft showing Potential Housing Sites,
East which lists the address of each site and the number of housing units each site could
provide.
https://photos.google .com/u/1 /photo/AF1 QipOOFpJt_91 MhtAsEMH_llmlmxQb6bV _E6kY1 J6X
There are no specific projects currently proposed for any of these sites at this time, although
some property owners have apparently been in consultation with the city. There will need to
be additional environmental review if/when any development projects are actually proposed.
The city now also needs to update it's zoning, including establishing a Mixed Use zoning
district, update the General Plan, and perform numerous other tasks including developing
specific objective development standards.
Because of a recent change in state law, the Final Draft must be approved by the City and
submitted to the state by Monday, August 15.
Both the Planning Commission hearing on Tuesday, August 9 at 7 pm and the City Council
hearing on Thursday, August 11 at 6 pm are open to the public, either in person at Hesse
Park or via Zoom . (To participate online and provide public comment during the meeting,
