Bob Nelson Planning Commissioner 2 EG SLAl,IVE F'ORMATIO BILL TEXT Bill PDF Version: 09 /28/22 -Chaptered 09 /08/22 - Enrolled 08/25/22 -Amended SB--897 Accessory dwelling units: junior accessory dwelling units .. (2021-2022) Date Published: 09/29/2022 02:00 PM Senate Bill No. 897 CHAPTER 664 An act to amend Section 65852.22 of, to add Section 65852.23 to, and to repeal and amend Section 65852.2 of, the Government Code, and to amend Section 17980.12 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to land use. [ Approved by Governor September 28, 2022. Filed with Secretary of State September 28, 2022.] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 897, Wieckowski. Accessory dwelling units: junior accessory dwelling units. Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, authorizes a local agency, by ordinance or 111inisterial approval, to provide for the creation of accessory dwelling units in areas zoned for residential use, as specified. Existing law authorizes a local agency to impose standards on accessory dwelling units that include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, and maximum size of a unit This bill would require that the standards imposed on accessory dwelling units be objective. For purposes of this requirement, the bill would define "objective standard" as a standard that involves no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is uniformly verifiable, as specified. The bill would also prohibit a local agency from denying an application for a permit to create an accessory dwelling unit due to the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the accessory dwelling unit. This bill would require a local agency to review and issue a demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced by an accessory dwelling unit at the same time as it reviews and issues the permit for the accessory dwelling unit. The bill would prohibit an applicant from being required to provide written notice or post a placard for the demolition of a detached garage that is to be replaced by an accessory dwelling unit, as specified. Existing law provides that an accessory dwelling unit may either be an attached or detached residential dwelling unit, and prescribes the minimum and maximum unit size requirements, height limitations, and setback requirements that a local agency may establish, including a 16-foot height limitation and a 4-foot side and rear setback requirement. This bill would increase the maximum height limitation that may be imposed by a local agency on an accessory dwelling unit to 18 feet if the accessory dwelling unit is within 1 / 2 mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined, or if the accessory dwelling unit is detached and on a lot that has an existing multifamily, multistory dwelling, as specified. The bill would increase the maximum height limitation that may be imposed by a local agency on an accessory dwelling unit to 2 5 feet if the accessory dwelling unit is attached to a primary dwelling, except as specified. Existing law requires an ordinance that provides for the creation of an accessory dwelling unit to require accessory dwelling units to comply with local building code requirements that apply to detached dwellings, as appropriate. Existing law also prohibits an ordinance from requiring an accessory dwelling unit to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence. This bill would provide that the construction of an accessory dwelling unit does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, except as specified. The bill would prohibit the construction of an accessory dwelling unit from triggering a requirement that fire sprinklers be installed in the existing primary dwelling. Existing law provides that a local agency must ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create not more than 2 accessory dwelling units that are located on a lot that has an existing multifamily dwelling, but are detached from that multifamily dwelling and are subject to a height limitation of 16 feet and a 4-foot side and rear setback requirement. This bill would change the height limitation applicable to an accessory dwelling unit subject to ministerial approval to 18 feet if the accessory dwelling unit is within 1 / 2 mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined, or if the accessory dwelling unit is detached and on a lot that has an existing multifamily, multistory dwelling, as specified. The bill would change the height limitation applicable to an accessory dwelling unit subject to ministerial approval to 2 5 feet if the accessory dwelling unit is attached to a primary dwelling, except as specified. The bill, if the existing multifamily dwelling exceeds applicable height requirements or has a rear or side setback of less than 4 feet, would prohibit a local agency from requiring any modification to the existing multifamily dwelling to satisfy these requirements. The bill would prohibit a local agency from rejecting an application for an accessory dwelling unit because the existing multifamily dwelling exceeds applicable height requirements or has a rear or side setback of less than 4 feet. Existing law prohibits a local agency from imposing parking standards on certain accessory dwelling units, including those that are located within 1 / 2-mile walking distance of public transit. This bill would also prohibit a local agency from imposing any parking standards on an accessory dwelling unit that is included in an application to create a new single- family dwelling unit or a new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the accessory dwelling unit meets other specified requirements. Existing law, when a local agency has not adopted an ordinance governing accessory dwelling units, requires a permitting agency to act on an application to create an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit within specified timeframes. This bill would require a permitting agency to return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant, if the permitting agency denies an application for an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit. (2) Existing law also provides for the creation of junior accessory dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified standards and conditions. Existing law requires an ordinance that provides for the creation of a junior accessory dwelling unit to, among other things, (A) require that the unit be constructed within the walls of the proposed or existing single-fa1nily residence, (B) require that the unit include a separate entrance from the main entrance to the proposed or existing single-family residence, and (C) require owner-occupancy in the single-family residence in which the junior accessory dwelling unit is permitted. This bill would specify that enclosed uses within the proposed or existing single-family residence, such as attached garages, are considered a part of the proposed or existing single-family residence. The bill would require a junior accessory dwelling unit that does not include a separate bathroom to include a separate entrance from the main entrance to the structure, with an interior entry to the main living area. The bill would also prohibit a local agency from denying an application for a permit to create a junior accessory dwelling unit due to the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the junior accessory dwelling unit. (3) Existing law requires a local agency, in enforcing building standards applicable to accessory dwelling units, to delay enforcement for up to 5 years upon the owner submitting an application requesting the delay on the basis that correcting the violation is not necessary to protect health and safety. This bill would prohibit a local agency from denying a permit for an unpermitted accessory dwelling unit that was constructed before January 1, 2018, because, among other things, the unit is in violation of building standards or state or local standards applicable to accessory dwelling units, unless the local agency makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the structure. This bill would specify that this prohibition does not apply to a building that is deemed substandard under specified provisions of law. ( 4) Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to administer various programs intended to promote the development of housing, including the Multifamily Housing Program, pursuant to which the department provides financial assistance in the form of deferred payment loans to pay for the eligible costs of development for specified activities. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature that accessory dwelling unit grant programs provide funding for predevelopment costs and facilitate accountability and oversight, as specified. (5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 65852.2 of the Government Code proposed by AB 2221 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2221 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (6) By imposing new duties on local governments with respect to the approval of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

After several years of careful consideration the city council and staff arrived at a very workable solution to satisfy hikers and residents. The Park Mobile app system works well and achieved our collective goals to balance community, visitors and residents needs. > > Bridget walks in the Crest/Crenshaw area 7 days a week. She never hears hikers who are walking from the free parking areas complain about walking to the trails. We also never read about anyone complaining on the Nextdoor app. > > People who want to park very close to Burma Trail pay for closer access to the trailhead. People who want to park free, know the locations for free parking and utilize them. If there are some visitors that don't know this then they need to be educated about it as I see you are doing in some of your responses to letters you have been sent. > Parking in the free parking areas adds 5 minutes onto their hike and keeps our neighborhood quiet and the road to our homes safer. These are facts, why would we consider a change? Further, in reviewing Exhibit 0-1 of the Staff Bulletin, there were only 23 comments regarding parking citations over a period of one year, or two per month. Given the 1 1 number of people who visit the trails, this number tells us that the vast majority of people who access the trails and utilize the Park Mobile system are satisfied with the present protocol. > > Yesterday morning on a beautiful Sunday as we drove down Crenshaw at 10:30 a.m. there were quite a few cars parked on Crest and Crenshaw north of Crest and there was still plenty of free parking available. By 1:30 p.m. most of the free parking was available. We use this section of Crenshaw every day and never see all of the free parking spots filled up, which tells us that the present system is working very well! > > Please remember that prior to the implementation of the Park Mobile system, all day long hundreds of cars circled around and around Park Place and Crenshaw south of Crest because drivers were looking for the closest place to park. It was an ordeal for those of us who live in the Del Cerro and Island View communities, Burrell Lane, Park Place and Valley View Road. If the Park Mobile system is modified to "on demand" or "free", our communities will return to the terrible traffic situation we experienced before implementation of the present protocol. Hikers now know that they have to pay to park close and if they want a free place to park there's plenty available on Crest and Crenshaw north of Crest, so they do not continually circle around looking for the closest place to park and our streets and communities are safer. > > The city council and your staff has worked very hard for years to figure out a system that works, you have found it, please leave it as it is. > Many people will be moving into the large apartment complex on Crenshaw and Lomita and I'm sure they will find their way to Burma Trail. The system needs to remain unchanged. > > Lastly, it seems to us that if you survey visitors who have no idea why the parking system was put in place, all of the feedback responses will be negative and respondents will respond in favor of on-demand and/or free parking. > > Thank you for your time. > > Bridget and John Stillo > Island View 2 Enyssa Momoli From: Sent: To: Subject: Teresa Takaoka Monday, October 3, 2022 8:18 PM CityClerk Fw: PV Nature Preserve Parking feedback From: Kathy Christie <kmariechristie@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 3, 2022 7:22 PM To: CC <CC@rpvca.gov> Subject: PV Nature Preserve Parking feedback ·-·----·---------·---------------------------------------- 1 CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.· L-··=~~--~·-· .. ,--~-,.---------------~---------------------------- H., I. Thank you so much for all you do, and for trying to help maintain a safe and peaceful atmosphere in our community. Unfortunately, the strict rules surrounding parking at the PV Nature Preserve go too far. My husband, friends and I used to walk there regularly, and even had a car pass to do so, but ever since the increased restrictions went into place we have not visited the preserve. We have found the restrictions to be confusing, and we also don't always plan ahead when we want to walk there, so we don't know ahead of time when we need to make a reservation for. After the recent city council candidate forum at Hesse Park, some neighbors and I were talking about it, and my neighbors have had a similar experience. None of them have visited Del Cerro Park or the preserve since the increased restrictions went into place. A city park should be accessible to everyone, and most certainly to people who live in the city. This is personally frustrating to us, as my husband and his first (late) wife gave enough money to the preserve to be listed on a plaque there. They intended that their donation be used to maintain a public space that everyone could enjoy. It is sad that the preserve no longer achieves that goal. I'm glad that you have listened to what the people who live in the Del Cerro Park neighborhood have said, but I hope you consider that many others in our community are very frustrated by the current situation. This park and the preserve belong to everyone, not just the people who live near it. -Kathy Kathy Christie 6851 Faircove Dr., Rancho Palos Verdes 818.383.9283 l Enyssa Momoli From: Sent: To: Subject: Le Teresa Takaoka Tuesday, October 4, 2022 7:22 AM CityClerk Re: Oct. 4th City Council Meeting Agenda #2 (ParkMobile Parking System) From: Kim Lindsey <kimlindseyphd@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 3, 2022 8:33 PM To: CC <CC@rpvca.gov> Cc: Al Kathy Edgerton <alnkathye@msn.com> Subject: Oct. 4th City Council Meeting Agenda #2 (ParkMobile Parking System) f G-1.UTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. l.·-w~-•~-•-~-~--~•--------------------------•------------------------- Re: Proposed Changes to Crenshaw Blv Parking Reservation System Dear City Council Members, I want to thank each of you for having gifted the residents of Del Cerro with a safe passage in and out of our homes. The Reserved Parking system has provided us with one less heavy stressor at the beginning and end of our days in these difficult times. I've recently read one of the proposed modifications to the current Reserved Parking system. Unfortunately, the "first come first served" option would basically transport us back to the nightmare we lived prior to the very welcome Reserved Parking. The proposed change would encourage constant traffic cruising to the end of Crenshaw to see if there are any parking availabilities, making U turns in the street obstructing traffic, waiting to see if people will be returning, following people walking back from the preserve and stopping in the middle of the road to ask them if they are parked in the metered parking, and if so, often necessitating yet another U turn followed by double parking to wait for them to leave. The "first come first served" option would mean there are no longer fixed time slots, and no one would know when to expect vacancies. All this would again make our ONLY ingress and egress for Del Cerro unsafe, stressful and problematic. I understand perhaps the major concern is that the current parking system is not paying for itself. Certainly this is an important consideration given a tight budget. One option would be to remove the metered parking altogether and make the Crenshaw area south of Crest a "no parking" zone. have heard non residents complain that they would prefer to park at the very entrance to the preserve (indeed suggesting we "pave paradise and put up a parking lot" at Del Cerro Park). I would suggest to them that they can park at City Hall if they consider this problem. But I'd also suggest that adding a few minutes walk at the beginning and end of a hike along a non challenging route with open and beautiful ocean views is the perfect way to warm up and cool down. Certainly if people are coming to the Nature Preserve for exercise this should not be an issue. There is still plenty of parking available for all who wish to enjoy the Preserve, and this option would protect the residents of the three communities who must enter and exit their homes via this stretch of Crenshaw. This option would also greatly diminish the need for adding enforcement personnel as no education and training is needed for "red line/no parking", providing additional savings to the city. It's perhaps the simplest and most cost effective solution for the city, while protecting their residents. Thank you for your consideration. We appreciate your many hours of hard work in addressing the safety and tranquility of your constituents who have been so negatively impacted in the past by the huge increase in visitors to our beautiful city and Preserve.

We have been a resident of RPV since 1994. We support our City and our HOA. • The current parking system is working effectively. Traffic can safely pass through the Crenshaw corridor. • We support the staff's recommendations that they take the next 6 months to survey visitors to better understand visitors' challenges with the current ParkMobile system and to find ways to mitigate them without returning the area to the unsafe traffic conditions that we experienced prior to the parking system implementation. We stand ready to continue working collaboratively with Staff to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of various options. • Residents feel it is imperative to install the Burma Rd. and Rattlesnake Trail gates before implementing any modification to the parking reservation system that will increase visitor traffic . ., In addition, adequate enforcement personnel must be hired and trained before any modification to the parking system that will increase visitor traffic is implemented.

We are members of the Palos Verdes Park Place Homeowner's Association. I understand that other members of the community from Del Cerro and Island View have weighed in but I did wish to emphasize one issue that was favorably addressed by the Reserved Parking Program. While there may be concerns about the impact on the ambience in this area of Rancho Palos Verdes, a greater concern is pedestrian and vehicle safety. With the unfettered parking on Crenshaw there were many who simply double parked and waited for an open space or proceeded slowly such that they would impede the traffic on Crenshaw otherwise entitled to travel at the 40-m.p.h. speed limit. It was also not uncommon to sec vehicles either northbound or southbound make mid-block U-turns frequently done ignoring through traffic. The situation also vastly increased the number of U-turns at Crenshaw and Park Place as well as at the end of Burma Road. These traffic issues were resolved by the current system. While the cost of the Reserved Parking Program to the City is appreciated, we would concur with the suggestions that after the placement of gates at the Burma Road and Rattlesnake trailheads that a survey of use and need be performed. In any case, it would appear as though some component of the reservation system remain in place to provide the safest environment for residents and visitors.

Note: The following information will be gathered from parking system records and/or trail counters to help validate survey results: • Numbers of parked vehicles in each parking zone (with and without reservation) • Duration of each visit (with and without reservation) • Days and times of visitation (with and without reservation) • Number of cars arriving and leaving within 15 minutes (a proxy for people unaware of the system) Enyssa Momoli From: Teresa Takaoka Sent: Monday, October 3, 2022 5:17 PM CityClerk To: Subject: Fw: Western Avenue Projects Le From: Ken Rukavina <krukavina@rpvca.gov> Sent: Monday, October 3, 2022 4:22 PM To: bsattler <bsattler@igc.org> Cc: Ara Mihranian <AraM@rpvca.gov>; Ramzi Awwad <rawwad@rpvca.gov>; CC <CC@rpvca.gov> Subject: RE: Western Avenue Projects Dear Barbara, In response to you questions, I offer the following: 1. Regarding Table 5: The listing of opportunity sites in Table 5 of the staff report was to provide a historical record of the sites studied by Piasky Solutions. The study was commissioned to provide the necessary feasibility analysis the City needed to determine the maximum number of housing units an existing commercial site can accommodate (as part of a mix of commercial and residential or all residential) as a basis for determining the number of housing units to be included in the housing site inventory to meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 639 units among various income levels. A site studied by Piasky Solutions was not a guarantee of being included in the Housing Element's site inventory. The Terraces was not included in the Housing Element site inventory because this is a large, fully developed, non-vacant, lively commercial center with numerous lease holders, which is also a primary shopping destination for RPV residents. This makes it difficult to provide relevant factors that HCD would accept that support redevelopment with a housing component in the next 8 years or inclusion in the Housing Element at this time. However, this site can still be included in future mixed-used zoning overlay district to leave it open for potential mixed use if that is what a developer would need in order to make it financially feasible to improve and update the shopping center. 2. Regarding Figures 1 and 2: These figures are merely representative of the type of development that can occur on a few specific parcels on Western Avenue with the establishment of a Mixed Use Overlay District (MUOD), representing a combination of true mixed use (both commercial and residential, or all residential). The MUOD would allow a property owner to maintain a commercial use or develop residential only or a mix of uses (residential with another use, e.g., commercial, cultural, institutional, and/or industrial uses) on a site. The goal is to foster economic growth by creating a more vibrant, walkable area and to allow developers opportunity to find more economically feasible solutions in order to redevelop the area. As the City considers the development of the M UOD, the details of the development and zoning parameters area work in progress and may be specific to different zones or parcels based on the studies performed to date. The City will be conducing a MUOD open house on Saturday, October 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Terraces Shopping Center (suite to be announced) to provide the community more information and to receive input. 1 Best regards, Ken Rukavina, PE Director of Community Development City of Rancho Palos Verdes From: bsattler <bsattler@igc.org> Sent: Saturday, October 1, 2022 10:37 AM To: Ramzi Awwad <rawwad@rpvca.gov>; Ken Rukavina <krukavina@rpvca.gov>; CC <CC@rpvca.gov> Cc: Ara Mihranian <AraM@rpvca.gov> Subject: Western Avenue Projects CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Dear Mr. Awwad and Mr. Rukavina, Thank you for the informative status report regarding Western Avenue. Questions regarding Table 5: Please clarify the intention of listing the properties shown in Table 5 "Opportunity Sites Identified by Piasky Solutions". Why are the properties listed in this Table not consistent with properties included in the 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element which was approved by the City Council? More specifically, why is the Terraces property (28821 S. Western Ave.) included in the table showing 446 potential residential units? The Terraces property was not ultimately included in the 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element both because the viable existing commercial uses of that property are important to the community and because concentrating an excessive number of new residential units at that location would severely impact the adjacent residential neighborhood as well as impacting traffic on Western Avenue. Table 5 footnote #2 clarifies that the numbers shown in the table "were based on redevelopment of housing only without any commercial uses on the parcel." Why then are these numbers included in an evaluation of Mixed Use? Questions regarding Figures 1 & 2 (page 12): 2 Figure 1 clearly states that the plan is for "2 Story Lofts Above Ground Floor Retail". Figure 2, however, is labeled as "Activated Commercial Corner with Townhomes". What does that mean? The graphic for Figure 1 shows structures labeled as "Condos" and unlabeled structures which presumably would be the Townhomes. However, there is no indication of any commercial element. It is not clear what Mixed Use Zoning will entail. Will each individual parcel be required to include both commercial and residential uses? Thank you for your continuing efforts to address the challenges that the city is facing.

Awwad and Rukavina: As a long-time resident of Rolling Hills Riviera, a tract of homes that lies along Western Avenue, I write to you about city staffs report regarding the Western Avenue Improvement Project [hereinafter "Improvement Report"]. I do not write to argue that Western can't use some improvement. Far from it. Nonetheless, there are parts of the Improvement Report which I hope you will question. 2013 Western Avenue Vision Plan. Page 9 of the Improvement Report states that our city adopted the Western Avenue Vision Plan [hereinafter "Vision Plan"] in 2013 and goes on to suggest that now, nearly 10 years later, it wishes to start implementing the plan. Staff is remembering the old Vision Plan far more fondly than those of us who reviewed it in 2013. For example, the plan sought to promote more foot traffic along Western, by re-positioning and re-orienting commercial structures there and allowing them to be sited without any setback. The plan's boosters posited that such changes would lure pedestrians to Western who could then window shop as they walked along it. This fantasy suggested fundamental problems. Indeed, the plan appeared to have been drafted at the behest of an altogether different city and modified ever so slightly before being marketed to Rancho Palos Verdes. As those who live in the area well know, Western is not a side street on which people leisurely stroll from one business to another. Rather, it is a heavily traveled corridor -one of only 4 which serve the Peninsula -with a considerable amount of truck traffic. It is noisy and somewhat dirty and is likely to remain so. It is not especially pleasant to walk or ride a bike along; and few people do. Such comments and many more were made when the Vision Plan was originally proposed. Contrary to the statement appearing at page 9, I do not recall that the plan was adopted. In fact, it was roundly criticized as being grossly out of step with Palos Verdes' particular needs. This memory is reinforced by the simple fact that little has been done to effect the Vision Plan, despite ample time to do so. Virtually nothing has changed since 2013 to improve the plan's appeal. I request that Councilmembers do what their predecessors did in 2013 and have done ever since. Ignore it. Table 5 and the Housing Element. Our city faces the prospect of finding sites over the next 8 years for 647 new residential housing units. Initially, the city proposed permitting a high percentage of those units along Western Avenue. Eastview residents objected. As a result, staff sought to distribute the units more evenly throughout our city and submitted a follow-up proposal in July 2022 which the community seems to have accepted. This fact makes the appearance of Table 5 in the Improvement Report all the more puzzling. This table, generated in 2021 by an outside consulting group, Piasky Solutions [hereinafter "Piasky"], reports the presence of "opportunity sites" capable of accommodating 1071 residential units in the city. Table 5 fmiher reflects that 783 of these units (that is, nearly three-quarters of them) would be located on Western Avenue. Far from improving Western, adopting Piasky would increase noise, di1i and congestion along this already-busy street. What's more, Piasky is at odds with the current Housing Element recommendations, in which city staff and this council have invested so much time and effort. All in all, it is not clear why Table 5 or any reference to Piasky was even included in this report. Accordingly, I ask Councilmembers to disregard them in their deliberations about improving Western Avenue. Thank you.

Attention: Council Members City of Rancho Palos Verdes October l't, 2022 Dear City Council Members, John & Ingrid Hextall 7 Amber Sky Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 RE: OCT 4 th CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA ITEM #2 (ParkMobile Parking System) We refer to the above-mentioned agenda item #2 and wish to emphasize and support the recommendations made by the Del Cerro residents via our HOA which we believe are more than reasonable and entirely appropriate in these circumstances. As residents of Del Cerro and having our home adjacent to the Burma Trail head we are naturally concerned at the focus of RPV Council Members on changing the parking system without any r·egard for prioritizing the re-installation of the Burma Road Gate before changing the parking system. The Burma Rd., gate was approved in July 2018, installed in November 2020 but has been inoperable since the May 2021. It is incredulous that its replacement/repairs have not been prioritized and completed after a period of 17 months. The need for this Gates was established long before traffic and parking conditions became untenable in the early days of the pandemic. They are intended to keep visitors from roaming the preserve at night after the preserve is closed and entering before the preserve opening time of 7 am, causing concerns about the safety of residents and loss of peace and quiet during night-time and early-morning hours. Thus, in the absence of the Burma Rd Trailhead Gate, we continue to encounter excessive noise from walkers who clearly ignore the opening times and walk /jog in darkness from as early as 5 am. They play loud music, shout to their colleagues and have complete disregard for neighbors adjoining the Burma Trail. Moreover, in the evening, outside of the prohibited hours, several hikers and groups consistently enter the Burma Trailhead as there is nothing to prevent access after dusk and they also smoke cannabis, drink alcohol and cause undue noise and potential danger to the environment. The increasing issues with homelessness and the risks of fire are enormous concerns for the Del Cerro residents. With regards to agenda item #2 (ParkMobile Parking System), we believe the current parking system is working effectively. Traffic can safely pass through the Crenshaw corridor. We also support the Staff's recommendations that they take the next 6 months to survey visitors to better understand visitors' challenges with the current ParkMobile system and to find ways to mitigate them without returning the area to the unsafe traffic conditions that we experienced prior to the parking system implementation. As earlier stated, we feel it is imperative to install the Burma Rd. Trail gate before implementing any modification to the parking reservation system that will further increase visitor traffic. Finally, adequate enforcement personnel must be hired and trained before any modification to the parking system that will increase visitor traffic is implemented. 1 John & Ingrid Hextall 7 Amber Sky Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 We thank you in anticipation for considering our feedback and listening to our genuine concerns.

Oct. 2, 2022 Dear City Council, As a resident of the Del Cerro neighborhood, I wish to thank you for working with our HOA to help eliminate the traffic hazards (double parking and the U-turns) that I've experienced prior to the parking reservation system. The reservation system has reduced those hazards significantly and I'm worried that by switching to a "parking on demand" model, myself and my neighbors will once again have to deal with unsafe conditions entering our community. Currently, it's recommended that "on demand" parking be kept at the $10.35 rate for 3 hours. However, if this recommendation does not meet the City's goal, will the rate and/or the amount of time to park be lowered? If so, these changes will only increase the number of drivers double parking and/or making U-turns while trying to find a space as close to the Burma Trail entrance as possible. I hope the Council will approve the staff's recommendations to install the Burma and Rattlesnake gates before making a commitment to study the feasibility of an "on demand" system. Our community has experienced close encounters with fire, leaving the preserve open 24 hours only increases the chances of another. We've waited patiently for the gates to be completed, their installation is paramount to keeping our neighborhood safe. Thank you for listening to my concerns.

The current one-hour advanced reservation requirement discourages visitors from driving to the end of Crenshaw looking for an open space and, instead, encourages them to go straight to a free parking area that doesn't require reservations. The one hour time may be reduced down 30 minutes, but again, the advanced reservation requirement should be kept for above reason. Sincerely Hongpyo and Julie Lee 9 Amber Sky Dr. RPV 1 1.

Oct. 2 nd , 2022 RE: OCT 4th CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA ITEM #2 {ParkMobile Parking System) Dear City Council, As a resident of the Del Cerro since l 967, I appreciate the efforts the Council has made to reduce the traffic on Crenshaw Blvd south of Crest Road. The implementation of the ParkMobile reservation system has been an enormous improvement in mitigating the horrible traffic while improving safety for nearby residents as well as visitors to the Po1iuguese Bend Reserve. As we are all aware, this area on Crenshaw was never intended to be the primary parking area for the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. Years ago, our community approved the Land Conservancy and City's plan to provide parking access at Gateway on Palos Verdes Drive South. Many, including my family, provided funds for the purchase of the land with this parking plan in mind. It is my sincere hope that future Council members will revisit Gateway and make it the primary entrance once envisioned with restrooms, picnic tables, posted trail routes and a nature conservation information center. I'm opposed to any motion to replace our current reservation parking system with On Demand Parking without a more comprehensive understanding of its impact on our community. The Staffs recommendation to survey visitors will help and I fully support that effort. I also would like to know why the council feels the need to replace the current system. This has never been clear to me. If the reason is monetary then I'm concerned that the On Demand System could ultimately be modified to ensure maximum return by lowering the rate and allowing visitors to park for any amount of time they'd need. What we're left with is a digital system akin to parking meters. This is the "slippery slope", that would return us to the unsafe conditions that once existed. The conditions that you and the Staff have so successfully mitigated over the past years. I also agree with Staffs recommendation that no change to the reservation system should be considered until the Burma Trail and Rattlesnake Trail gates are completed. If safety for residents and visitors is Council's main concern, then the gates are a priority. Quite frankly, it's incomprehensible that since May 2021 we've been waiting for their installation.

I hope the Council will approve the staff's recommendations to install the Burma and Rattlesnake gates before making a commitment to study the feasibility of an "on demand" system. Our community has experienced close encounters with fire, leaving the preserve open 24 hours only increases the chances of another. We've waited patiently for the gates to be completed, their installation is paramount to keeping our neighborhood safe. Thank you for listening to my concerns.

I have lived in Del Cerro for many years and am familiar with the parking situation since the parking reservation system was instituted. I was surprised that more people were not willing to pay for the parking. It seems people would rather walk further than pay for parking. It has been several months since the system was instituted and I don't think the problem is because people forget or don't know to make reservations. There are many local people and return trail users who are well aware of the system. I think it is more likely they don't want to pay the fee. I am very concerned that eliminating the reservation system will result in the return of the problems it was designed to eliminate. I think people will wait for a parking spot to open thereby blocking the street. I think they will make unsafe u turns to get to a space that opens. Perhaps more study is needed. I think encouraging rather than eliminating reservations is what has eradicated the dangers that open parking created in that area. Perhaps lowering the parking rate would encourage reservation use. I believe before the reservation system is eliminated every effort should be made to encourage the use, otherwise we are just headed back to the conditions that created the problems.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Dear City Council Members, We wanted to provide our comments on the proposed changes to the Park Mo bile parking system. After several years of careful consideration the city council and staff arrived at a very workable solution to satisfy hikers and residents. The Park Mobile app system works well and achieved our collective goals to balance community, visitors and residents needs. Please do not change the present methodologies of the parking system! Bridget walks in the Crest/Crenshaw area 7 days a week. She never hears hikers who are walking from the free parking areas complain about walking to the trails. We also never read about anyone complaining on the Nextdoor app. People who want to park very close to Burma Trail pay for closer access to the trailhead. People who want to park free, know the locations for free parking and utilize them. If there are some visitors that don't know this then they need to be educated about it. Parking in the free parking areas adds 5 minutes onto their hike . and keeps our neighborhood quiet and the road to our homes safer. These are facts, why would you consider a change? Further, in reviewing Exhibit D-1 of the Staff Bulletin, there were only 2 3 comments regarding parking citations over a period of one year, or two per month. Given the number of people who visit the trails, 1 2. this number tells me that the vast majority of people who access the trails and utilize the Park Mobile system are satisfied with the present protocol. Yesterday morning on a beautiful Sunday as we drove down Crenshaw at 10:30 a.m. there were quite a few cars parked on Crest and Crenshaw north of Crest and there was still plenty of free parking available. By 1:30 p.m. most of the free parking was available. We use this section of Crenshaw every day and never see all of the free parking spots filled up, which tells us that the present system is working very well! Please remember that prior to the implementation of the Park Mobile system, all day long hundreds of cars circled around and around Park Place and Crenshaw south of Crest because drivers were looking for the closest place to park. It was an ordeal for those of us who live in the Del Cerro and Island View communities, Burrell Lane, Park Place and Valley View Road. If the Park Mobile system is modified to "on demand" or "free", our communities will return to the terrible traffic situation we experienced before implementation of the present protocol. Hikers now know that they have to pay to park close and if they want a free place to park there's plenty available on Crest and Crenshaw north of Crest, so they do not continually circle around looking for the closest place to park and our streets and communities are safer. The city council has worked very hard and for years to figure out a system that works, you have found it, please leave it as it is. Many people will be moving into the large apartment complex on Crenshaw and Lomita and I'm sure they will find their way to Burma Trail. The system needs to remain unchanged. 2 Lastly, it seems to us that if you survey visitors who have no idea why the parking system was put in place, all of the feedback responses will be negative and respondents will respond in favor of on-demand and/or free parking. Thank you for your time.

We understand the City's goal to achieve a balance between visitors' desires for more convenient parking adjacent to the preserve and neighbors' need for a safe, quiet and peaceful quality of life. We also understand the City's need to find a level of parking usage that covers the cost of the parking system. Over the past month, we have been working with Staff to develop options that achieve the City's goals. We have been searching for ways to increase usage incrementally in a controlled way. However, we are finding that parking system limitations and a lack of understanding of the parameters that are the main hindrances to usage are presenting challenges that we haven't yet overcome. We agree with Staff's recommendation that any system changes should not be made until a visitor survey is completed to better understand their concerns with the current system, and to determine why visitors are parking on Crest Rd. and on Crenshaw north of Crest Rd. (rather than in the paid parking spaces). This would give us additional information and time to evaluate additional less dramatic changes that directly address visitor concerns and to develop better options that do not return the area to the unsafe traffic conditions we experienced before the ParkMobile system was implemented. The current parking reservation system is the only mitigation measure that is currently in place and that has effectively improved traffic safety and restored peace and quiet to the neighborhood since the current effort to improve traffic began in 2020. We feel it is imperative that the Burma Rd. and Rattlesnake Trail gates are installed and that adequate parking enforcement personnel are hired and trained before implementing any modification to the parking reservation system that will increase traffic. We stand ready to continue working collaboratively with Staff to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of various options. 1 1 Thank you for your consideration of our comments.

As a Del Cerro Resident we would like to make a few comments about the proposed changes to the Crenshaw Corridor Parking: • The most important item for any City is Public Safety and it has always been communicated by RPV city council and staff that is our number one priority. The current parking system is working effectively at addressing the past major safety issues that we as a neighborhood experienced years ago. Traffic can safely pass through the Crenshaw corridor. By installing a system that would 'allow' more cars to cross Crest and speed down Crenshaw to find a metered parking space would completely contradict all of the efforts that have been made over the past years. We are RPV and not a major metropolitan city. • Not knowing the exact stats but there is sense that crime, specifically home invasions, burglary, vehicle thefts are up in LA County and on the Peninsula. A modification to the current system would increase traffic into our neighborhood with the potential of persons with criminal intents. • What is the plan to Take the next 6 months to survey visitors to better understand visitors' challenges with the current ParkMobile system and to find ways to mitigate them without returning the area to the unsafe traffic conditions that we experienced prior to the parking system implementation? It is a fairly straight forward app and payment system. • Only 7% usage of park mobile be 25% is needed to cover costs?! People are cost savvy and are using the free parking near SJF and north of Crest so proving they are willing to walk etc. for free parking. So, just get rid of the meters and cost to the city and restrict the parking where the meters currently are. The small amount of financial gain is not worth the life of a child on a bike, or a couple enjoying a neighborhood walk. The public is proving its not needed and the free parking that is safer further down is adequate! • It is imperative to install the Burma Rd. and Rattlesnake Trail gates before implementing any modification (Not desired) to the parking reservation system that will increase visitor traffic. 1 • I motion for no change or modification to the parking system.

Dear Mayor and City Council Members, I understand the City Council is considering a change in the way the present park mobile system now operates on Crenshaw Blvd. The prevailing rules, that are now in place, have been the single most important feature in improving the traffic safety and overall security for our community. Before a modification to the existing system is considered, the gates at the main entrance to the Reserve and Rattlesnake Trail need to be installed and in working order. We also need to ensure that we have the personnel to educate visitors and provide enforcement. I understand that the existing system does not pay for itself but it must be remembered that this program was not designed as a profit center but to provide community safety. There are many features the city provides for our RPV community that don't provide a profit or even pay for themselves. Whether this system pays for itself or not should not be the primary consideration. It was put in place to afford our community a safe place to live. A move to change puts us and the visitors to the Reserve at risk. If the system is changed we will again have the visitors double parked, backing up and making illegal U-turns while waiting for an open parking space. This was dangerous for all involved. I strongly believe that the present system should not be altered. 1 If the City Council still believes a change is necessary it should be incremental. Perhaps, two days a week you could use a different parking arrangement. Over several months you can then evaluate how this alternative system, such as a park on demand model, impacts the community. I believe a more stepwise, logical approach makes the most sense and does not again put our community at risk. Thank you for your consideration.

Ever since the city implemented the current parking arrangements, the traffic situation on Crenshaw Blvd has been excellent, reminding us on what we experienced prior to the establishment of the Nature Preserve. The current arrangement has eliminated people from waiting in their cars (double or triple parked) and waiting for a parking spot to open up and making fast double U turns to capture a space behind the location of the driver. These double U turns were common and exceedingly dangerous as the drivers seemed to be blinded by the opportunity to capture a parking spot that was being released. As frequent users of bikes on Crenshaw, riding that stretch of road was a very tense affair as you never knew who would suddenly dash into a fast Uturn without noticing an incoming bike and its rider. As you are reviewing the current situation once again, let me stress that the concept of having to have a 'prior reservation' is key and critical to avoid visitors double parking in the hope that a parking spot opens up. So whatever you ultimately decide, I strongly recommend to keep that feature as part of the solution.

Questions regarding Table 5: Please clarify the intention of listing the properties shown in Table 5 "Opportunity Sites Identified by Piasky Solutions". Why are the properties listed in this Table not consistent with properties included in the 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element which was approved by the City Council? More specifically, why is the Terraces property (28821 S. Western Ave.) included in the table showing 446 potential residential units? The Terraces property was not ultimately included in the 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element both because the viable existing commercial uses of that property are important to the community and because concentrating an excessive number of new residential units at that location would severely impact the adjacent residential neighborhood as well as impacting traffic on Western Avenue. Table 5 footnote #2 clarifies that the numbers shown in the table "were based on redevelopment of housing only without any commercial uses on the parcel." Why then are these numbers included in an evaluation of Mixed Use? Questions regarding Figures 1 & 2 (page 12): Figure 1 clearly states that the plan is for "2 Story Lofts Above Ground Floor Retail". Figure 2, however, is labeled as "Activated Commercial Corner with Townhomes". What does that mean? The graphic for Figure 1 shows structures labeled as "Condos" and unlabeled structures which presumably would be the Townhomes. However, there is no indication of any commercial element. It is not clear what Mixed Use Zoning will entail. Will each individual parcel be required to include both commercial and residential uses?

Task 3.3 Biological Habitat Assessment and Report The Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove preserve areas have been well documented. Chambers Group will review biological assessments provided for the Portuguese Bend area as well as data provided in the Final Rancho Palos Verdes NCCP/HCP and incorporate the data into an updated biological habitat assessment. Chambers Group will also conduct a database review for state and federally listed and/or sensitive species, USFWS National Wetlands Inventory Maps, topographic maps, and blueline drainages. Once all data has been reviewed, Chambers Group biologists will conduct a field survey and confirm the existing vegetation data; however, much of vegetation communities were scaled to a mapping unit of 1-acre which may not be effective to assess quality of habitat, suitable habitat for listed or sensitive species, and Project impact calculations. Therefore, Chambers Group will provide a more detailed vegetation mapping and habitat assessments for the Project impact areas, including: repair locations for existing fractures, surface drainage improvements, flow reduction area (basin), and hydrauger locations. This approach will reduce mitigation costs significantly. The biologists will focus on suitable habitat for the NCCP/HCP covered species with a potential to occur, including coastal California gnatcatcher and host plants for the Palos Verdes blue butterfly as well as habitat for sensitive plants known to occur in the area. Maps of the vegetation communities within the approximate 250-acre area will be updated with the field data and will be 0 l203.0006/813094.6 digitized on aerial images. Potential waters and wetland habitats on the site will be evaluated. Upon completion of field survey, all GIS data collected will be reviewed.

Additional sources of information that may be reviewed include but are not limited to Certified Local Government annual reports and other data, HABS/HAER records, the National Register Information System, the on-line database for National Register sites, Calisphere Digital Resources, Online Archive of California, Government Land Office Plat Maps, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, local historical societies and libraries, as well as inventory files and data on-file with other agencies that control property near the area. The task will also include a search for potential prehistoric and/or historic burials (human remains) evident in previous site records and/or historical maps (i.e., Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Government Land Office Plat Maps). In addition to the above research, a request that the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC} will be submitted for a review of their sacred land files (SLF}. This search will identify if any resources important to Native Americans have been recorded within the project area and surrounding vicinity. The NAHC will provide the results and a list of affiliated tribal 0 I 203.0006/813094.6 representatives to contact for additional information. Chambers Group will provide the results of the NAHC SLF search and list of tribes in the cultural resources letter report. It is assumed that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes will be the lead under AB 52 Tribal Consultation (if necessary). Note that this research alone does not satisfy the lead agency's requirements under AB 52. An optional task to support the City with AB-52 consultation is included below. Task 3.4.2: Field Survey Chambers Group will complete a field survey of the proposed 250-acre project area. The cultural resources survey will be conducted in accordance with the professional standards as described by the National Parks Service, Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines, as amended for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Chambers Group cultural resources specialist will survey the Project area for the presence of: • Prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools), • Tool-making debris, stone milling tools, • Historic artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics), • Sediment discoloration (ex. midden, hearth features), • Depressions and other features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., post holes, foundations), • Historic ruins, buildings, structures, and/or objects. This cost estimate assumes no cultural resources will be encountered during this survey. If cultural resources are identified, a revised scope of work and cost may be necessary. Task 3.4.3: Letter Report The results of the cultural resources study will be summarized in a letter report which will include; the results of the literature review and field survey, proposed mitigation measures (if any}, and site photos and references. The letter report is assumed to contain up to 1 5 pages of text, graphics, and appendices. A draft copy of the letter report will be provided to the City for review.

Optional Task 3.4.4.B. Paleontological Review Report describing the high potential importance of the Monterey and why this area is of significance to the paleontological and geological community. There is a known slight limitation on the stratigraphic location and position of any important fossil specimens recovered due to the nature of the landslide and the downward motion of deposits demonstrated by previous studies of the Portuguese Bend Landslide since the 1950's. However, this area is designated as type area for the Middle to late Miocene age Altamira Shale Member of the Monterey Formation which does restrict the age as recognized for this unit in the Palos Verdes Peninsula and elsewhere in California. It is possible that significant vertebrate fossil remains and other fossils such as invertebrate and plant remains may be discovered during excavation activities associated with this Project. As a result of the field survey it should be possible to determine if these deposits are fossiliferous in this region and help to make recommendations for a future Paleontological Mitigation Program. Assumptions: This proposal assumes a negative findings survey. Task 3.5 Water Quality and Hydrology Study KPFF Consulting Engineers will be preparing a CEQA technical report in support of an MND or EIR.
