MEMORANDUM To: From: Subject: Date: City of Rancho Palos Verdes Dudek Housing Element Sites Inventory Analysis Summary April 4, 2024 This memo summarizes Dudek's work in conducting an analysis of the 31 sites identified in the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element to support the City's submission of the Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). At the request of City staff in 2023, the analysis studied each site's physical development feasibility to be able to confirm or recommend revisions to the density assumptions made in the August 5, 2022 version of the Housing Element. The analysis relied on City-provided GIS data for parcel size and 10-foot contour topography to test each site's potential maximum residential capacity across various building typologies recognized as market-feasible in Rancho Palos Verdes, including tuck-under townhouses, stacked units, wrap-, and podium in residential-only and/or mixed-use configurations. In general, parcel size was used to determine the maximum feasible parking type, whether surface or structured, while topography was used to determine the maximum feasible building height capable of preserving a "view" from abutting residential properties 1 . Note that for some sites (#20, 21, 22, and 31 on preliminary analysis), "view" preservation may not be feasible to be able to allow multi-family residential development of at least 3- stories in height consistent with HCD requirements. For sites with notable site challenges, such as irregular parcel shape, hypothetical site layouts were conducted. For sites without notable site challenges, the maximum residential capacity was determined using site area and industry-standard residential densities per building type (e.g., approximately 15-20 du/ac for townhouses, 25+ du/ac for stacked units). Note that some sites (e.g., Sites 18-19) were able to yield a higher maximum residential capacity than what was ultimately noted in the Housing Element as the maximum residential capacity. A summary of each site's physical findings is listed below. The projected number of units as ultimately identified in the Housing Element is also noted for reference. 1 Potential building height maximums are approximations based on available contour data from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and elevation spot-checking within Google Earth. Potential building height maximums represent the potential vertical clearance between the average elevation of the parcel and the average elevation of adjacent residential properties be able to preserve a "view" from the residential properties to a nearby "scene" as defined by RPVMC 17 .02.040. Further analysis is required to determined adequate view preservation per code.

I have a PHO in Aerospace Engineering with more than 20 years of analytical experience at NASA JPL, Boeing PW and Air Force SMC (Space Missile Center). ► I respectfully submit opposition to the City staff recommendation of adoption of RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Assessment) ► We have not been provided the referenced proofs or analysis that this additional housing can be achieved with no significant risk. ► We strictly object to the seamless effort of City Staff in obtaining HCD's approval -(unknown to us) submitting a revised plan to HCD on March 22 nd , prior to the March 26 th Planning Commission public hearing and now seeking Urge ncy Ordinance adoption of Rezoning . City staff ignored PCC! ► I was informed that the staff recommendations take into account: o Recommendations from the Planning Commission; Neg o Public comments received; Neg o Input from the City Geologist; N/K o Requirements from state law including the Housing Accountability Act SB 35/423, and Housing Crisis Act (SB 330) Need to be provided realistic and truthful analysis o Input from HCD (Housing Community Development Department) Two times Neg on Oct 2022 and Apr 5th , 2024 Unfortunately City Staff makes recommendation against all odds!? o On March 26 th , Planning Commission Committee issued 6 additional recommendations including elimination of rezoning of the Clipper lot (#4), and avoiding the elimination of view preservation (#6). These Recommendations must be valued and submitted to HCD.

No plans for new development have been submitted to the City for the potential housing sites identified in the Housing Element. The Cit is not re uired to build new housing, but to SIMPLY ensure that the housing can be built throu h zoning. ► NO -City cannot SIMPLY ensure rezoning is possible -it is contrary to the health and benefit of community ► The city shall , through the thorough analysis, truthfully prove and demonstrate that the mandated housing element by state can not be achieved. ► If city needs expert analysis there are residents who will provide these needed skills and expertise. ► Conclusion: April 16 • PLEASE AVOID UNTRUTHFUL ANALYSIS FOR UNFORGIVABLE GAINS. • PLEASE DENY THIS HOUSING ELEMENT RECOMMENDATION • PLEASE DENY THE REZONING OF THE LOTS ON UNSTABLE RD which also takes away the value and view asset of existing houses. Page 3 of 5 • Detail Correspondence with HCD ► Following the October 2022 HCD determination that the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element was not compliant with state housing element law, HCD requested an informal review to occur before an updated version of the Housing Element was presented to the City Council again for adoption, to ensure its comments were sufficiently addressed. ► After several consultation meetings with HCD, on September 14, 2023, City Staff submitted a revised draft of the City's Housing Element to HCD for an informal 60 -day review of the document. The revised draft included updates addressing HCD's requested corrections as well as the preparation of a detailed site-by-site inventory analysis, which was prepared by the City's housing consultant Dudek, which studied the physical development feasibility of the City's Potential Housing Sites Inventory. ► The analysis included some hypothetical residential site layouts based on physical site and area constraints that were studied, which in some cases resulted in updates to the developable area and proposed density of a potential housing site. As a result of this site by-site inventory analysis, an additional housing site was identified at 500 Silver Spur Road (Site No. 15 -Assessor Parcel No. 7586 -028 -019) that was not previously accounted for in the City's adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element. ► The site accommodated 38 affordable housing units with an overall density of 45 dwelling units per acre. This site was included in the City's Potential Housing Sites Inventory outlined in the September 14, 2023 revised draft Housing Element, for a total of 31 potential housing sites throughout the City. ► City Staff met with HCD Staff to discuss the review of the City's September 14, 2023, revised draft Housing Element on November 17, 2023, December 15, 2023, and January 25, 2024 . During the January 25, 2024 meeting, HCD Staff noted that any subsequent submittal of revised documents should be submitted formally to ensure that City Staff would receive a determination on the status of the revised document within HCD's statutory required 60-day review period . ► This direction was contrary to previous messaging from HCD Staff, which outlined that informal submittals were needed. ► On January 30, 2024 City Staff posted a second revised draft Housing Element on the City's website site and circulated the document to interested parties . ► On February 7, 20 ~ after the required seven -day posting and circulation of the document, City Staff submitted the information to HCD for a formal review, establishing a 60 -day (April 5, 2024) deadline for HCD to provide a review response. ► On March 11, 2024, City Staff met with HCD Staff to discuss additional clarifications to the document that were needed . At that time, HCD Staff also indicated that revisions to the document could be made and resubmitted to HCD to ensure that the City's January 30 revised Housing Element submittal could be found to be in substantial compliance by HCD's 60 -day statutory deadline of April 5, 2024. ► Accordingly, City Staff prepared document clarifications requested by HCD, and forwarded the information to HCD Staff for review. ► On March 14, 2024, City Staff received an email from HCD Staff indicating that there were no additional questions regarding the City's Housing Element. ► Based on this information, City Staff prepared a Draft Revised Final Housing Element on March 15, 2024 (Exhibit B) and submitted the document to HCD on March 22, 2024 after the required seven-day posting of the revised document on the City's website and circulation to interested parties. 5 On March 7, 2024, a public notice was issued and published in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News providing notification of the Planning Commission's review and consideration of Page 4 of 5 the Draft Revised Final Housing Element and related Housing Program implementation measures. ► On March 26 , 2024, the Planning Commission considered the Draft Revised Final Housing Element and related Housing Program implementation measures and provided recommendations for City Council consideration. The Planning Commission recommendations are outlined in the Discussion section of this report. ► On April 5, 2024 HCD issued a letter notifying the City that the Revised Final 2021-2029 Housing Element as revised on March 15, 2024 meets the statutory requirements, yet cannot be found i n full compliance until the City has completed Program 1 (Zoning Amendments to Increase Housing Development Potential) to rezone sites to accommodate the City's RHNA. Once the City completes the program (re -zoning), a copy of the resolution (adopting the Housing Element, General Plan Amendments of the Land Use Element and Land Use Map, and related Local Coasta l Plan Amendments) and Urgency Ordinance adopting the zoning will be transmitted to HCD. HCD will review the documentation and issue correspondence identifying the updated status of the City's housing elem ent compliance.

Michele Carbone 2 April 1, 2024 To: The Chairman and Members of Planning Commission Committee Re: Rezoning the vacant lot on Clipper/PV Drive South AIN # 7573-006 -024 Dear Chairman and Members of Planning Commission Committee and City Council Members: RPV Geologist, Mike Phipps "The land movement, is unprecedented. I'm just worried that we're going to start losing roads and we're going to start losing access . People are going to start losing access to their private properties. And so this is very serious. And you know, the infrastructure is going to be tested and there's going to be issues with it. The land has been "slowly creeping for many years, probably decades, but the recent storms have damaged infrastructure like roads, utilities -sewers, water and gas (electrical is predominately above ground)-while the land movement accelerates . 11 City Manager, Ara Mihranian "I think we're at a point where we may need to ask the governor to declare an emergency for our city. I really feel very strongly that we are now at that point, 11 We, the residents of Abalone Cove Community, respectfully submit our objections to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes proposed rezoning plan of the subject property to a RM-22 in finalizing its Housing Element update . The state -mandated process requires that all California cities undertake every eight years (or "cycles") to demonstrate how they will meet housing needs. We, the Abalone Cove Community, do not see any correlation between this mandated process and rezoning the RS-2 residential lot to Residential Multiple Family (RM-22). The Staff Report requesting to adopt this proposed plan has many inco r rect analysis and specific improper demonstration of facts, needs and requirements . It also seems to ignore the facts that this neighborhood is in a slide area and is already unsafe for those of us here . Discussion with our views to the re lated portions of staff report highlighted in yellow: 1 The report on Page 2 indicates that the site-by-site analysis completed by Dudek studied the topographic and view conditions of each MUOD, ROD and RM-22 rezoned parcel and prepared a potential development framework that minimized adverse impacts to neighbors. We disagree with this unsubstantiated conclusion. • Housing Element by facilitating the development of a MUOD project of residential-only or mixed-use development with residential and commercial uses on select parcels. • Housing Element by facilitating a ROD development of residential-only or residential with limited nonresidential uses on select parcels with an existing Institutional underlying base district designation. • Housing Element by facilitating the rezoning of a Single Residential Family to a high density Multiple Residential Family. The Report lays out that a General Plan Amendment to the Land Use Element Map is also required to include the new MUOD and ROD Overlay Districts as well as to reclassify two residential properties (Assessor Parcel No. 7573 -006-024 (Site No. 16) (Clipper) and Assessor Parcel No . 7578 -002-011 (Site No . 17)) to a higher density. We believe that Assessor Parcel No . 7573-006-024 (Site No . 16) ( Clipper) cannot and shall not be rezoned to a RM-22 . Beside all the topographic and geographic impact, it is in direct violation of neighborhood compatibility. Zone Change The Potential Housing Sites Inventory included in the Draft Revised Final Housing Element revised March 15, 2024 proposes to amend the zoning designation and corresponding City Zoning Map (Exhibit E) for Assessor Parcel No. 7573 -006 -024 (Site No. 16) and Assessor Parcel No. 7578 -002-011 (Site No. 17) from Residential Single Family (RS -4) and Residential Single Family (RS-A-5), respectively, to Residential Multiple Family (RM-22). It appears to us, the Abalone cove Community, that this report has been prepared merely to satisfy one and only one purpose, at all cost, and, that is to accommodate the City's 647 housing unit RHNA during the 6th Housing Cycle . The proposal of rezoning Clipper property to RM-22 has severe impact on Palos Verdes Drive South road conditions, traffic, load and land slide. The Report further on Pages 7 and 8, introduces the list of 30 Potential Housing Sites identified in the City's adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element including additional site at 500 Silver Spur Road (Site No. 15 - Assessor Parcel No . 7586-028-019) for a total of 31 Potential Housing Sites. Further, it establishes that Proposed RHNA implementation measures include General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes, Local Coastal Program (Coastal Specific Plan) Amendments and associated code amendments, which are 2 outlined in further detail below: Draft Revised Final Housing Element & Housing Programs (Case Nos. PLGP2022-0001, PLGP2024-001, PLZC2024 -001, PLCA2024 -001 & PLCA 2024 -002) On Page 8 the Report illustrates the Concerns of HCD with the environmental impact of this proposal as follows: On August 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No . 2022-49, adopting the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element and associated environmental review, which included a Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA). The adopted Housing Element was subsequently forwarded to HCD for compliance review with State Housing Element Law. In October 2022, HCD notified the City's Community Development Department via letter that although the adopted Housing Element met many of the statutory requirements, the document was ultimately not found to be in compliance. As part of its review, HCD outlined additional document corrections required to be completed to achieve compliance . HCD corrections included, but were not limited to, providing support information related to affirmatively furthering fair housing efforts and clarifying the realistic capacity of residential development on identified Potential Housing Sites outlined in the City's Housing Element. The Housing Element update has involved efforts by City staff and consultants, public outreach, virtual and in-person workshops, and meetings of the Planning Commission and City Council -all aimed at identifying ways the City can rezone to accommodate 647 potential new housing units in RPV across various income levels through 2029. This target figure, called a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation, was assigned to the City by the state, and the City is required to demonstrate the capacity of providing that additional housing by adequately zoning for the RHNA. To meet its RHNA, the City is proposing the creation of a Mixed -Use Overlay District (MUOD) and Residential Overlay District (ROD). The City is also proposing to reclassify the zoning of two residential properties to a higher density. Both of the proposed districts and the rezoning effort are outlined in the Revised Final Housing Element (PDF), which was recently submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the agency that determines whether cities have compliant housing elements. We, the Abalone Cove Commun ity believe that while MUOD or ROD might have poss ible work around environment impact, the RM-22 on a one -acre lot located on the most Unstable Costa! Road w il l have high environmenta l impact, view impairment and adverse affect on durability and desirabi li ty of the 3 Adjacent to landslide moratorium 0 .1 mi le - comm un it y . As sta t ed at the ope nin g of o ur obj ections, it appea rs tha t t hi s re port has cente red on th e state man d ated cy cl ic ho usin g element and focused entirely on addit ion of 647 high density ho using at all costs not acceptab le t o t he rest of commu ni t y . Bas ed on all the signatures from the Aba lone Cove Community from Packet, Clipper Sea Cove and Barkentine, which are submitted with th is document, we understand the need to approve the Housing Element Approval but would ask that City Council reconsider the proposed zoning and recommendations by t he Planning Commission and consider the environmenta l impact based and the recent new additional slide movement and recent issues within this area adjacent to the site #16 that needs to be re -assessed and more updated assessment . We are also asking to consider preserving the v iew. 4. Consider the prox im ity of the C li pper Site #16 on the sites inventory to the landslide co m ple x and the geological impact of development at the site and communic at e with HCD to consider the removal of this site or sh ift ing the un its to ano t her site; To determine which sites to consider, the City started with the SCAG recommendations of eligible sites. HCD is looking for sites that are vacant, of a minimum size , and to be added at a minimum density to be viably considered for the sites inventory. The potential housing site located at APN: 7573-006- 024 (Site No . 16) was in the initial SCAG recommended si tes and met the criteria HCD requires , and therefore was included in the initial City Council adoption of the Housing Element in August 2022 . Since the adoption of the Housing Element in 2022 , in response to HCD 's comments , a site-by-site 12 analysis of the Potential Housing Sites Inventory in the City 's Housing Element was prepared by the City 's housing consultant, Dudek, detailing the physical development feasibility of each proposed housing site . Site No . 16 is located outside of the landslide moratorium area and the Anci ent Portuguese Bend Lands lide Comple x . 4 Additionally, it should be noted that any proposed development would require geotechnical analysis and compliance with California Building Code requirements. Should the landslide complex boundaries expand, Staff can initiate a discussion for potential alternative housing sites with HCD . At this time , should the City Council remove or revise a potential housing site , the Revised Housing Element would need to return to HCD for additional review for compliance. 6. Consider not e liminating view preservation for the two sites #16 and #17 that are proposed f or upzoning.

From: Richard Horn <hornra@msn.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2024 10:46 PM To: Enyssa Sisson <esisson@rpvca.gov> Cc: FourthDistrict@bos.lacounty.gov Subject: Re: Online Form Submittal: Public Participation and Comment Request Form (City Council) Hello Enyssa, I was not given the opportunity to speak as the zoom was somehow muted and the phone also indicated it was muted so I will simply address my comments in writing. 1. RPV was chartered primarily to be a land conservancy. It is also native to a number of species that are endangered, and also found nowhere else but our Pensinsula. In essence, it was to prevent another San Francisco. That is one of the main reason we moved here in the early 2000's. 2. I appreciate the complexity faced by the council and mayor in this difficult situation. However, i also have no choice and am compelled to object and reject the current planned proposals. 3. I object for these reasons: Traffic congestion and increased congestion. Who pays for the upgrade needed in roads and infrastructure to support this volume of traffic? 4. The impact on environment and habitat factors. Its wonderful that we want a large development in the canyon areas. What about the coyotes? Where do they go? Oh, and I learned tonight there is a creek there too. For the local habitat. Going to build a playground there? Probably not a good idea. What about the other areas adjacent to that area? 5. Impact of fire and ambulatory services. Who pays for that? 6. Is this a benefit or detriment to the current taxpayers? Property taxes are based on values. The property taxes we pay helps our city to manage services. Low income housing tenants I would assume, do not pay those things. 7. There are many Senior centers and developments in RPV. Doesn't that factor into the lower income units that State wants to provide? 8. I heard many comments about landslides. These comments should be taken very seriously. If we had this conversation 5 years ago and I told you that the Wayfarers Chapel was in trouble or Abalone Cove was sliding, you probably would have just rolled your eyes, laughed at me, and said that's not an issue and, my two minutes are up. Rolling Hills Estates? Or maybe Burma Road that started the land movement again to begin with? 1 9. Maybe a better site is to consider PV North and/or Western Avenue? How to destroy property tax values? Or conserve them? 10. Again, I am sympathetic to your council. These are difficult decisions. I hope you take my comments into consideration. 11. As to Sacramento, well, people here pay our taxes. Once there was the car tax and Enron. As a result, there was Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The foliage along the Trump trails has grown so high that the ocean view is obscured as I drive along Palos Verdes Dr. So. Fencing was required to allow for ocean visibility, but the landscaping has taken over and blocked the views for several years. I realize that there has been a lot of rain the last two winters which promoted still more growth. Please remind the Trump organization of their obligation to trim down the plants -the sooner the better before the next spurt of overgrowth is prompted by this season's rains. Likewise lower the hedge at the west side of the Trump National Driving Range to the height limitations. Thank you for all you do for RPV! Lenee Bilski * Local Coastal Plan Permits 17.72.010. -Purpose. The coastal permit procedure provides for review of proposed development within Specific Plan District I, to determine conformity with the city's coastal specific plan and state regulations. 1 /.

City staff has been working on the 5th cycle Housing Element since spring of 2021. Many cities in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region have struggled to obtain compliance with California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) during the 5th cycle. There are several contributing factors including the late release of Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers, a new Fair Housing Assessment requirement, comprehensive legislative changes to Housing Element Law and a rigorous HCD review process with a higher level of detail. The City has been working diligently on revisions to the Housing Element that was adopted on August 11, 2022, to comply with the comments the HCD issued in its letter to the City dated October 14, 2022. Following the October 2022 HCD determination that the City's 6th 1 Cycle Housing Element was not compliant with Sta~ . Housing Element Law, HCD requested an informal review to occur before an updated version of the Housing Element was presented to the City Council again for adoption, to ensure that their comments were sufficiently addressed. After several consultation meetings with HCD, on September 14, 2023, City Staff submitted a revised draft of the City's Housing Element to HCD for an informal 60-day review of the document. City Staff met with HCD Staff to discuss the review of the City's September 14, 2023, revised draft Housing Element on November 17, 2023, December 15, 2023, and January 25, 2024. During the January 25, 2024, meeting, HCD Staff noted that any subsequent submittal of revised documents should be submitted formally to ensure that City Staff would receive a determination on the status of the revised document within HCD's statutory required 60-day review period. This direction was contrary to previous messaging from HCD Staff, which outlined that informal submittals were needed. On January 30, 2024, City Staff submitted a Draft Revised Final Housing Element to HCD for its formal review. Based on subsequent discussions with HCD regarding the review of the document, a Draft Revised Final Housing Element dated March 15, 2024 (PDF) was prepared. The latest revisions address all HCD comments from the October 14, 2022, letter in order for the Housing Element to comply with state housing element law. The statutory requirement for HCD to review the document is within 60 days from the initial February 7, 2024 submittal date. A more detailed timeline and background information can be found in the City Council staff report for the April 16, 2024 meeting. The Revised Housing Element and implementation measures will be considered for adoption by the City Council on April 16, 2024. Should you wish to participate, the City Council meeting will take place in-person at Hesse Park beginning at 7:00 pm or you can participate or view the meeting virtually: https ://www. rpvca. gov /772/City-Meeti ng-Video-and-Agendas. In terms of the SB330 Preliminary Application, the application was submitted on January 22, 2024, for the property located at 5323 Ironwood. As such, the applicant has 180 days to submit the formal application (by July 21, 2024). Should you wish to review the project plans, the submittal materials are available to review at City Hall. To date, a formal application has not been submitted. More information regarding SB330 can be found on the Housing and Community Development (HCD) website: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and- community-development/statutory-determinations. We have added you to an interested party list for the property, to keep you informed should there be updates on the project. Please let us know if you have any additional questions, thank you.

I am part of a group of concerned RPV residents that is following the development of the Housing Element Plan for 2021-2029, which, according to the city's website is still pending approval by the city council and acceptance by the state. In a Planning Commission meeting on April 11, 2023, City staff stated that the Housing Element would be completed and submitted by July of 2023, and they felt that that the Element was "100% likely" to be accepted by the state at that point. It's our understanding that as long as the Element remains unapproved by the state, developers can propose and get approval for development plans through the "builders remedy" statute. This has become an urgent issue as one such developer has acquired a 5 acre vacant lot that sits in the canyon between Silver Spur and Birchfield streets in Rancho Palos Verdes. I LIVE VERY CLOSE BY and my children attended Silver Spur Elementary. That neighborhood is a chaos at pick up/drop off hours ... there is NO WAY it can handle the weight of any more activity, nor could the city protect our children from this traffic!! This developer was recently the subject of an article in the Sunday Los Angeles Times (August 6th -front page) as someone who has employed the tactic of getting approval for large developments on single family residence zoned properties using the "builders remedy" statute. I am concerned that this developer could do the same here, putting in a development that would be completely out of character for the neighborhood, and we would have absolutely no recourse under the law. Was he Housing Element submitted by the state in July? If not, when will it be submitted? Thank you for your time.

Dear RPV City Council, I am a Rancho Palos Verdes resident of over 15 years and have loved being a part of this community. We are terrified by the possibility that our private, peaceful backyard may be jeopardized by the proposed monstrous building project in the Silver Spur Canyon. We thought we'd spend the rest of our lives in this home, but that's unlikely if this happens. So many families will be devastated by this. And it was avoidable. Had the city adopted and approved the housing element sooner, we would not be in this situation. Though I cannot attend tonight's meeting, I implore the RPV city council to approve and adopt the 2021-2029 Final Housing Element and Housing Programs. Please help protect our city from similar despicable projects getting approved in the future. Thank you for your consideration.

Regardless of the scope of the project-any development in that parcel is unacceptable given the environmental sensitivity of the area. This project is the antithesis of what it means to live in RPV. There are far better places to put in low-income housing. This is merely a developer taking advantage of the Builder's Remedy for copious profits off of our failure to have our housing element approved. All of the other Palos Verdes cities are in substantial compliance, and it's disappointing that we were left vulnerable to this sort of developer weaponization. I realize that currently your tools are somewhat limited, but I hope you use absolutely every tool at your disposal to prevent this from happening. This would be an eyesore of epic proportions, it would severely damage property values, increase traffic and pollution in an already extremely high traffic area ( and I might add, there isn't infrastructure, nor could there ever be-sufficient enough to accommodate said traffic given the road constraints). During the development and beyond, we'd be reminded on a daily basis of how greedy developers bested our city council. Please do not let this happen.

Silver Spur Canyon, 5323 Ironwood, Rancho Palos Verdes. 80% of the apartments/condos he is building in the Silver Spur Canyon, with the Builder's Remedy law, will be luxury apartments with unobstructed million dollar views, starting at Point Conception, Malibu the entire coastline, the ocean, downtown Los Angeles, the mountains and at night the spectacular city lights. It's not NIMBY, this is ethics and he is destroying a neighborhood because the Builder's Remedy permits greedy people like Askhilesh Jha to abuse the law. This is not ethical. The Builder's Remedy Law should not destroy other peoples homes. Builders Remedy is supposedly about low income people moving into affordable housing, not about destroying the neighborhood they move into. Akhilesh Jha is not an honorable human. There are plenty of other spaces for him to "help the low income people" he is so "proud" to save. We are not close to rapid transit, the 405 is 8 miles away, our neighborhood is not a "walking to the grocery store & mall" area. We live on a hill, the grade is extremely steep all the way up hill to the nearest stores. No one, except the ultra-fit would ever consider walking up to and back from the stores, lugging bags of groceries. The majority of citizens in Rancho Palos Verdes, myself included, are feeling left out of any choice to save our views and quiet neighborhoods we really did work enormously hard for.

This is greed for a luxury apartment project which would have been completely illegal two years ago, but now in 2024 unfortunately falls into the Builder's Remedy loop hole and this awful, destructive mess will make a ton of money for Jha.

We understand that our City has been put in a very challenging situation. We are writing to express our major concerns with Housing Element #16 located at o Clipper Road. Since we are the previous owners of o Clipper Rd and have been in multiple conversations throughout the years (especially the last 2 years) with the RPV Planning Department. Including, after the most recent state laws were passed and we were told that the maximum number of dwellings that the city would ever allow for the Clipper lot would be 3. This is one less than what the planning commission approved in the 1980's for the Clipper Lot. We were also told by the city that they would NEVER allow any changes of zoning for O Clipper Rd (Housing Element Site#16). Our last conversation (in the past 2 years) we had a meeting at the RPV City Hall with Ari, Octavio, etc. We were told that any development over 3 dwellings on the O Clipper lot (HE site# 16) would be incompatible with our neighborhood. We agree with what we were told in that meeting. It is true and anything outside of that determination is totally irresponsible and unacceptable. We have watched the changes to the o Clipper parcel over the years from rains since part of that lot is in a flood zone and portions have been washed away. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes knows we have had multiple floods in our neighborhood. We have also witnessed first hand the impact to our community with the recent rains and land movement. This recent land movement has expanded into areas that were once considered more stable including the Wayfarers Chapel. Most recently the rapid movement of the ancient landslide just below our homes on Sea Cove over the last three weeks. This land movement is in close proximity to Housing Element site# 16. No one can guess what these new events will bring wether they are considered experts in their fields or not. It is absurd given the rapid new changes that are occurring in our neighborhood that the City would even consider the proposed Housing Element site #16 (0 Clipper Rd.). Our neighborhood safety is the most important consideration and we request that you take this #16 site out of consideration now and in the future. The potential for loss of life and loss of our homes in our neighborhood due to land movement, a heavy rain storm, flooding, or fire is real. We have 1 :J_. had very recent land movement in our neighborhood. The impact of this proposed Housing Element #16 site has not been fully evaluated since this new movement within the last few weeks. Our City has been trying to obtain a State of Emergency issued for the area in regards to land movement so where is the accountability from our City Officials? Safety is our first concern and there are elements of this project that would increase safety issues. The roads are deteriorating coming into the area which means major safety issues if an emergency should happen due to landslides, fires and flooding. Our neighborhood is at a severe disadvantage if something happens to the only two roads that enter the area? Adding more housing with more traffic would have negative consequences on our area. Especially, in an emergency with people and cars trying to leave the area. This is not an if it happens scenario. It is a when it happens scenario since our neighborhood/area has been exposed to landslides, flooding, and fires over the past several years. Our neighborhood residents deserve accountability from our city officials and what you have chosen to do is a disregard for our safety. You are also not taking into consideration the potential for driving home prices down, increasing traffic and disrupting our neighborhood compatibility. You can not tell us what the actual effect a project like this can do to our neighborhood and surrounding areas. Why wasn't the land around the base of the Rancho Palos Verdes City Hall never considered? Please do what is right and remove this site #16 from the Housing Element list because of the real threat of of safety with loss of lives and loss of our homes.

From: Henry Wang <cc.henry.wang@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2024 10:38 AM To: Housing Element <HousingElement@rpvca.gov> Subject: Housing Element and Rezoning Planning Commission Dear Sir or Madam, 1 I am writing to you regarding the state-mandated housing project for the homeless and low-income people at the Salvation Army site. As a seventy-year-old retiree, I am concerned about the possible impact on the local crime rate and the effectiveness of this policy. I came to this country more than forty years ago as a student with only books and clothing. With the opportunities this country has given me, I was able to earn a good living and eventually moved to this nice neighborhood in Rancho Palos Verdes. I firmly believe anyone can achieve the same if he/she is willing to work hard. I also do not look down at low-income people because I was one of them forty years ago. But homelessness is different. When the unemployment rate is so low and there are more than eight million job openings waiting for applicants, it's rather clear that those homeless people need more than just a place to stay. They need extra help so that they can stand up on their own feet again. Instead of scattering around, they need to be in some places where extra help is available and suitable job openings are nearby. Most of all, this country has to stop illegal drug trafficking. Based on what I have seen in some areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco, most of the homeless people seem to share the same problem. Homelessness and illegal drugs are two facets of the same problem. This coming November, my vote will be for those who can provide the right solution.

We understand that our City has been put in a very challenging situation. We are writing to express our major concerns with Housing Element #16 located at o Clipper Road. Since we are the previous owners of O Clipper Rd and have been in multiple conversations throughout the years (especially the last 2 years) with the RPV Planning Department. Including, after the most recent state laws were passed and we were told that the maximum number of dwellings that the city would ever allow for the Clipper lot would be 3. This is one less than what the planning commission approved in the 1980's for the Clipper Lot. We were also told by the city that they would NEVER allow any changes of zoning for O Clipper Rd (Housing Element Site#16). Our last conversation (in the past 2 years) we had a meeting at the RPV City Hall with Ari, Octavio, etc. We were told that any development over 3 dwellings on the O Clipper lot (HE site# 16) would be incompatible with our neighborhood. We agree with what we were told in that meeting. It is true and anything outside of that determination is totally irresponsible and unacceptable. We have watched the changes to the o Clipper parcel over the years from rains since part of that lot is in a flood zone and portions have been washed away. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes knows we have had multiple floods in our neighborhood. We have also witnessed first hand the impact to our community with the recent rains and land movement. This recent land movement has expanded into areas that were once considered more stable including the Wayfarers Chapel. Most recently the rapid movement of the ancient landslide just below our homes on Sea Cove over the last three weeks. This land movement is in close proximity to Housing Element site# 16. No one can guess what these new events will bring wet her they are considered experts in their fields or not. It is absurd given the rapid new changes that are occurring in our neighborhood that the City would even consider the proposed Housing Element site #16 (0 Clipper Rd.). Our neighborhood safety is the most important consideration and we request that you take this #16 site out of consideration now and in the future. The potential for loss of life and loss of our homes in our neighborhood due to land movement,: heavy rain storm, flooding, or lire is real. We h""j. had very recent land movement in our neighborhood. The impact of this proposed Housing Element #16 site has not been fully evaluated since this new movement within the last few weeks. Our City has been trying to obtain a State of Emergency issued for the area in regards to land movement so where is the accountability from our City Officials? Safety is our first concern and there are elements of this project that would increase safety issues. The roads are deteriorating coming into the area which means major safety issues if an emergency should happen due to landslides, fires and flooding. Our neighborhood is at a severe disadvantage if something happens to the only two roads that enter the area? Adding more housing with more traffic would have negative consequences on our area. Especially, in an emergency with people and cars trying to leave the area. This is not an if it happens scenario. It is a when it happens scenario since our neighborhood/area has been exposed to landslides, flooding, and fires over the past several years. Our neighborhood residents deserve accountability from our city officials and what you have chosen to do is a disregard for our safety. You are also not taking into consideration the potential for driving home prices down, increasing traffic and disrupting our neighborhood compatibility. You can not tell us what the actual effect a project like this can do to our neighborhood and surrounding areas. Why wasn't the land around the base of the Rancho Palos Verdes City Hall never considered? Please do what is right and remove this site #16 from the Housing Element list because of the real threat of of safety with loss of lives and loss of our homes.

Some were expressed in relation to the Housing Element update and vacant land on Clipper Drive, while others were in relation to recent reactivation of a previously dormant landslide between the rear of the residences at 8-12-16 Sea Cove and the beach. That landslide is about 700 feet southeast of the Clipper Road vacant land. The concerns fell into two categories: 1. Could the actively moving and enlarged Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex expand further west to the Abalone Cove neighborhood and could high-density development of the vacant land on Clipper Road exacerbate the landslide or be affected by the landslide? My answer to this was NO, this is not expected for several technical reasons. The western boundary of the Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide is moderately well defined based on geomorphic expression and abundant geotechnical studies. The ancient landslide failed where it did and has defined boundaries due to the underlying geological conditions as well as the position of the coastline 120,000 years ago. At its closest approach, the ancient landslide boundary is more than 1,200 feet east of the vacant land in question (in the Abalone Cove neighborhood). The current active landslide movement is more than 2,000 feet east of the vacant land. Furthermore, the geological conditions significantly change west of the Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide boundary, as there is a large area of intrusive basalt (volcanic rocl<) mapped west of the boundary and extending beneath the Barkentine/Arrowroot tract as well as PVDS. The vacant land on Clipper Road is generally considered stable. Any project proposed for that land would require a comprehensive geotechnical investigation demonstrating such stability. 2. Could the reactivated landslide below properties at 8. 12 and 16 Sea Cove expand up into the neighborhood? Based on available information, the recent reactivated landslide is a portion of a larger dormant landslide mapped by the California Geological Survey (2007) and others prior to that. The landslide has been studied by several geologists and geotechnical firms going as far back as 1963. Some of that work was in relation to permit applications for residential additions at 8 and 16 Sea Cove. The available data suggest that the landslide is constrained by the underlying geological conditions and it is therefore unlikely for it to expand headward into the neighborhood. The landslide is within shale bedrock at and below the bluff, whereas volcanic rocl< is present under the northern portion of the properties. These homes and the Abalone Cove neighborhood are underlain by stable marine terrace deposits that formed 120,000 years ago on a wave-cut platform above the bedrock, and show no signs of ancient landslide activity. I hope this helps. It's more than a "blurb" but use it as you see fit. Call me if you need something more, or different. Thanks.

We appreciate what you do for our city and the efforts to maintain our wonderful quality of life living in Rancho Palos Verdes. 1 We write to you today in regards to the Housing Element Site #16, also noted as the Clipper Road Property. We ask that you take the consideration of the Planning Commission to "Consider the proximity of the Clipper Site #16 on the sties inventory to the landslide complex and the geological impact of development at the site and communicate with HCD to consider the removal of this site or shifting the units to another site." Since the imposition of this state mandate there have been drastic changes to the land in the surrounding area. No one can predict the stability of the land on Clipper. Wayfarer's Chapel and the surrounding area were stable for many years. Approaching the State and HCD with the current state of affairs in the area (issues of flooding and land movement) and the close proximity of the Clipper property should be addressed and the recommendation to have this property removed from the study. We live adjacent to the Clipper property. Building a larger construction site at 3 stories and maximum height of 40 feet, creating high density living to this relatively small property is worrisome. Who can guarantee that this will not trigger land movement or flooding and damage to our current homes? The lot is not flat, it slopes downward to the adjoining Clipper and Sea Cove homes. It is also adjacent to a flood channel and with more housing will create other problems as more water will be diverted to this small channel. One of the many issues that were not addressed in the study. Developing this property and the event of changes to our roads and properties will be a tremendous liability placed upon this city. Our city is aware and has knowledge of the constant movement taking place and the potential catastrophic affect it may have on our homes and community. We urge you to protect our properties and our city from what could be a huge legal liability. As a community we oppose the City's proposal to rezone the Clipper Road site. Respectfully Submitted, Richard and Janet Yamamoto 2 From: Sent: To: Subject: Dear RPV City Council, Karen Oda < karenoda@verizon.net> Tuesday, April 16, 2024 4:27 PM CityClerk please adopt the housing element Please approve and adopt the 2021-2029 Final Housing Element and Housing Programs at today's meeting. It will protect from any additional builders remedy proposals like the one at Silver Spur and the newer one in east RPV, giving back local control of development that considers the safety and building in harmony with our local city rules. The one planned for Silver Spur has 11 stories (including the garages) and involves digging several stories underground in a narrow canyon with a single lane outlet and just blocks from an elementary school. It does not seem to account for how emergency responders -police, fire, ambulance -would be able to support a series of buildings of that enormity and with all of its traffic. Many thanks and much appreciated!

My husband and I are homeowners of 1 O Vanderlip Dr., RPV CA 90275. My husband and I have had this property since 1985. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN THE DEVASTATING LAND MOVEMENT ALONG VANDERLIP DRIVE THAT IS HAPPENING NOW! We have already experienced $175,000.00+ in property damage. Many of our neighbors have experienced even more costly damage. Some of this damage could most certainly have been prevented if the City of Rancho Palos Verdes had not issued permits for storm run-off from Island View not to be directed down into an active slide area and/or if the City of Rancho Palos Verdes had taken measures repeatedly recommended over five decades by dozens of geologists to line Altamira Canyon. Had these measures been taken when originally recommended it would have been a fraction of what it will now cost. We are very concerned that even more homes will be endangered here in the next rainy season if the City of Rancho Palos Verdes continues to neglect lining Altamira Canyon. This needs to happen prior to the next rainy season. As residents of the Portuguese Bend community we urgently request that the city immediately expediate: 1. Implement one of several existing engineering plans to line the Altamira Canyon Complex. 2. Adopt the 3 point plan of ACLAD ( Fissure filling, Surface Water control, Wells to remove water from slide) 3. Continue to press all relevant county, state, federal agencies to respond to this emergency with aid.

For 60 plus years the city has forced us to live in a dual map reality where our homes are in one location and the map indicates we do not own the land under our homes. The city has been remapped with other landslide locations but not our neighborhood. We may not all agree but most of us do agree that the land under our homes is ours. This has resulted in the loss of our taxpayer services to include permits, enforcement, sheriff protection and brush clearance. The city has not provided a path to legal living locations and compliance with a single map. Once your property has been adjusted off your Property Tract Map by the Landslide the ownership becomes unclear, and the constitutional rights of your land ownership is questionable. Permits and Violations The city has enforced violations on both metes and bounds maps and GIS Latitude Longitude Tract maps. This has put my family in court, and we are unable to protect our land or get safe building standards. We pay the city for this service, and it is denied, if I want to work at my home fixing something I am not getting my neighbor to draw a permit for my bathroom. I do not want a violation for my neighbors' activity. When something is not to city law the wrong owner is cited, this causes people to be unable to manage their property. We are being taxed for a service are discriminated against to use. Brush Clearance Due to the landslide and the questionable landowners This service has been stopped since 2008. The homes are looked at but no enforcement of any reality is done except for rare occasions and only on the GIS Latitude Longitude Tract maps only. Complaints about high danger bush trees and property with years of growth are fully ignored with call backs then nothing. This has made our neighborhood dangerous with tight roads and landslide issues we are living in Paradise and by that, I mean the Paradise that had a vicious fire with death. Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner I Weights & Measures and the LA property, LA County Fire, and the City of RPV need to come up with a solution not when the landslide stops but right now before the residents of PBCA are burned out. 1 3. This is a service we pay taxes for but are not provided this is discrimination and unfair taxation. Sheriff Protection Due to unclear maps and home locations the Sheriff refuses to enforce property lines and trespassing, they will allow you to beat, harassed and arrested by neighbors. They refused to even protect my mailbox. These people will take you to court and extort money to leave you alone. Sheriff protection service we pay taxes for but are not provided this is discrimination and unfair taxation. This two map loophole is making it unsafe to live in our wild west and land war community. Property Sales Real Estate The Department of Real Estate has not been made aware of or enforcing the selling of homes in this community. There seems to clearly be an issue that should be raised allowing the selling of any homes in this area if the physical home Is not on the AIN property that is under the home being sold. Builders Remedy Residents, the Community and the City and the County all being sued by an single aggressive land developer represented under many LLCS, the city is being sued several times by this group, and the LA property officer Prang is also being sued. All cases are all related to landlines and getting aggressive to build. The only way to manage this issue is to have one map that determines ownership of the land as they are using the loophole of two map_s to Lheir adva..o.tag_e_. Waiting until the Landslide is stopped is invalid Waiting until the City controls the landslide, and it has "stopped" to meet the Cullen Act before remapping our land is not adequate solutions for the next 60 years, the city geologist is on record saying they cannot stop the landslide. We cannot live in this manner forever without rights and being taxed with discriminated. Summary I plead to the city, landslide remediation planners, and all agencies include a path to legal home locations, a solution and manages the regular remapping of land tract maps to determine and maintain true United States land ownership on record as part of the solutions goals and actions to provide relief and remedy our taxation without service and land ownership as per our constitutional rights.

Hello Mayor, City Council and City Managers, My name is Tony Buesing and I own a home on Exultant Dr since 2001. I have received a proposal of a tax increase on the Klondike assessment and it's a insane increase of 700%! I have seen no transparency of where my tax assessments were spent for the last 23 years. Over 3 million dollars of tax money and we are currently with a pipe at conquer trail that dumps water daily for the last 23 years. We have the collection pipe near PV Drive South dry during the rainiest days. We have had broken wells in PBC in 2023. Where did that money go? This is a public district that collects our tax money and they refuse to show the check register and refuse to show a budget or the bank statements. KC LAD has been not involving the home owners. They cancelled and moved an election date. Ballots were not mailed out, as of today I have not received my ballot. This is not acceptable. I do not agree with all the wells being located only in PBC. Seaview has lost one street and 2 red tagged homes and many homes have cracked foundations and we have no drilling of checking for water levels beneath the stress areas around Exultant. We are going to loose another side of Exultant if we do not remove the water accumulation under Exultant. The 5 point plan has to be peer reviewed by Neven, the specialist of E1 and E2. We need the entire plan of KCLAD and ACLAD to be peer reviewed. The old timers of Cotton and other geologists teams have done nothing and we need a new approach by Neven. Seaview and PBC need to act together and not separately because Seaview will loose more streets and homes by poor actions and poor spending actions that was already done in the past. Spending 70000 in the black flex line on the bottom of Klondike has done nothing. Leaving the white pipe dangling on Conquer trail flooding the canyon is not professional and KC LAD plan needs to be peer reviewed by Neven.

The City is working hard to manage the excessive overgrowth of vegetation on trails citywide. The overgrowth is largely a result of the unusually wet winter. Trump National Golf Club staff maintain the bluff trails within Ocean Trails Reserve, and they are also experiencing a lot of overgrowth. They have let us know that they focused clearing on the east side of the Reserve and are working west. Clearing of West Bluff and West Portal Trails began this morning and should be completed by next week. There may be minor delays associated with this weekend's rain. Trump National staff has also been backfilling trails damaged by rutting with limited success during the rainy season, as the very wet winter has caused a lot of recurring damage to trails. They have let us know that they will continue working on trails, and the improvements will be more noticeable after the rain is behind us. We are looking forward to improved conditions in the very near future and appreciate your feedback to staff. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Dear Council Members: I live next door to Trump National Golf Club in the Portuguese Bend Club, Tract 16540. We walk the bluff trails regularly, and have done as far back as when Ken Zuckerman created Ocean Trails, and donated the land and open space to created the trails system. At the present time the bluff-side trail is not viable (walkable). It is so overgrown you would step on a rattlesnake and never know what hit you. The new walking trails from Palos Verdes Drive South towards the ocean have crevices, some of them quite deep from the heavy rains this season, and if they are not properly fixed will continue to erode. I urge all of you to try and walk the bluff trail. It is a dereliction of duty to be non- compliant with the trail maintenance obligation. Thank you for your consideration.

The City Council takes this matter seriously especially as it relates to adopting the 6th planning cycle Housing Element which is on the Council's agenda Tuesday night. It is imperative that the community comes together to ensure the Housing Element is adopted and deemed compliant by the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). It should also be noted that the City has adopted a revised Housing Element for the 6th Planning Cycle in the past, but HCD rejected it as being non-compliant to state requirements. The City has been working closely with HCD to ensure that the revisions under consideration by the Council Tuesday night satisfy HCD's requirements for it to be deemed compliant.

It's happening in our neighborhood, right next door to many homes, he's plopping four, 11 story apartments for over 1,000 new residents in the middle of our quiet neighborhood. It's not NIMBY, this is ethics and destroying a neighborhood because the Builder's Remedy permits greedy people like Jha Askhilesh to abuse the law is not ethical. The Builder's Remedy Law should not destroy other peoples homes. Builders Remedy is supposedly about low income people moving into affordable housing, not about destroying the neighborhood they move into. Akhilesh Jha is not an honorable human. There are plenty of other spaces for him to "help the low income people" he is so "proud" to save. We are not close to rapid transit, the 405 is 8 miles away, our neighborhood is not a "walking to the grocery store & mall" area. We live on a hill, the grade is extremely steep all the way up hill to the nearest stores. No one, except the ultra-fit would ever consider walking up to and back from the stores, lugging bags of groceries. The majority of citizens in Rancho Palos Verdes, myself included, are feeling left out of any choice to save our views and quiet neighborhoods we really did work enormously hard for. If the horrible Silver Spur Canyon apartments he is building in the Silver Spur Canyon, 5323 Ironwood, RPV are built, it will honestly completely destroy some people's home value. No one wants this. You shouldn't either. Greed is the motive. Akhilesh Jha is using the Builder's Remedy law for his self-serving greed. 80% of the apartments/condos he is building in the Silver Spur Canyon, 5323 Ironwood, Rancho Palos Verdes, with the Builder's Remedy law, will be luxury apartments with unobstructed million dollar views, starting at Point Conception, Malibu the entire coastline, the ocean, downtown Los Angeles, the mountains and at night the spectacular city lights. And the spectacular sunsets. All views unobstructed. Nothing will be in-front of his apartments because he is building in our Silver Spur Canyon, plopping his apartments in front of dozens of pre-existing homes that do have this magnificent view. He will be blocking their views, taking the value of theirs homes down the tubes. These homeowners worked hard to afford their homes. Now he is allowed to ruin their views and privacy. This is not about the required 20% low income housing project for Jha. This is not NIMBY. Jha is perceived as a modern day Robin Hood by many people, so he is robbing property values and million dollar views for his benefit. This is about Silver Spur Canyon housing for high income people. This is greed for a luxury apartment project which would have been completely illegal two years ago, but now in 2024 unfortunately falls into the Builder's Remedy loop hole and this awful, destructive mess will make a ton of money for Jha. And he will destroy our neighborhood. 2 Subject: FW: Housing Element and Rezoning Planning Commission From: Ara Mihranian <AraM@rpvca.gov> Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2024 6:48 PM To: Henry Wang <cc.henry.wang@gmail.com> Cc: CC <CC@rpvca.gov>; Brandy Forbes <bforbes@rpvca.gov>; Octavio Silva <OctavioS@rpvca.gov>; Jesse Villalpando <jvillalpando@rpvca.gov>; CityClerk <CityClerk@rpvca.gov>; david.bentley@usw.salvationarmy.org Subject: RE: Housing Element and Rezoning Planning Commission Good afternoon Mr. Wang, I am in receipt of your email and copying the City Council and City Clerk for the public record. We appreciate you taking the time to write and express your concerns. It gives the City an opportunity to provide you with accurate information. First and Foremost, the rezoning proposed for the Salvation Army is not for a homeless shelter or anything similar to that. Tuesday night, the City Council is being asked to consider adopting the Housing Element, a state-mandated element of the City's General Plan. The State requires the Housing Element to be updated every 8 years. This 8 year planning period cycle began in 2021, and city's within the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region were required to have an adopted Housing Element by October 2021. The Housing Element is required to identify properties in the City that can be rezoned to accommodate housing needs (Regional Housing Needs Assessment ((RHNA)) for various economic levels (Very Low, Low, Moderate and Above Moderate). Without an adopted Housing Element, the City's Zoning Code is invalidated allowing developers to submit pre-applications for Builders Remedy projects which essentially by-pass the City's development standards, including height, setbacks, density, etc. -this is NOT good for Rancho Palos Verdes! More specifically, the City's RHNA allocation of a total of 639 new housing units in various income categories over the planning period. In addition, the Housing Element accommodated eight lower-income units that that were carried over from the previous planning period of 2013-2021 (5 th Cycle), for a total of 64 7 new housing units throughout the City. The housing unit breakdown by income category outlined in the Housing Element is as follows: • Lower • Moderate • Above Moderate 400 units (minimum 30 dwelling units (d.u)/ acre required) 125 units (higher density sites) 122 units (sites zoned for densities less than 30 d.u./acre) It is important to note that the Housing Element only provides the regulatory framework to accommodate and support the construction of new housing units. The document does not require or approve the construction of a specific project. I strongly recommend you read the staff report that explains in detail what is before the City Council on Tuesday evening: 1 City Council Discussion Ho sing Elem nt Adoption and Rezoning City Council Discussion April 16 The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is finalizing its Housing Element update, a state- mandated process that all California cities undertake every eight years (or "cycles") to demonstrate how they will meet housing needs. The Housing Element does not mandate new development; it is a guiding document that serves only as a framework. No plans for new development have been submitted to the City for the potential housing sites identified in the Housing Element. The City is not required to build new housing, but to simply ensure that the housing can be built through zoning. The Housing Element update has involved efforts by City staff and consultants, public outreach, virtual and in-person workshops, and meetings of the Planning Commission and City Council -all aimed at identifying ways the City can rezone to accommodate 647 potential new housing units in RPV across various income levels through 2029. This 2 target figure, called a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation, was assigned to the City by the state, and the City is required to demonstrate the capacity of providing that additional housing by adequately zoning for the RHNA. To meet its RHNA, the City is proposing the creation of a Mixed-Use Overlay District (MUOD) and Residential Overlay District (ROD). The City is also proposing to reclassify the zoning of two residential properties to a higher density. Both of the proposed districts and the rezoning effort are outlined in the Revised Final Housing Element (PDF), which was recently submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the agency that determines whether cities have compliant housing elements. April 16 City Council Meeting On April 16, the City Council will consider adopting the Revised Final Housing Element and associated implementation measures, including the establishment of the MUOD and ROD. The Council will consider recommendations recently made by the Planning Commission. If approved, City staff will submit the Final Housing Element and associated rezoning to HCD for certification -the agency's stamp of approval that will bring the City into compliance with state housing law. Staff will also submit Local Coastal Plan Amendments that are part of the Housing Element update to the California Coastal Commission. A staff report (PDF) with more information is available on the City website. View Staff Report The City Council will take these recommendations into consideration when it considers adopting the Revised Final Housing Element and rezoning on April 16.

As a seventy-year-old retiree, I am concerned about the possible impact on the local crime rate and the effectiveness of this policy. I came to this country more than forty years ago as a student with only books and clothing. With the opportunities this country has given me, I was able to earn a good living and eventually moved to this nice neighborhood in Rancho Palos Verdes. I firmly believe anyone can achieve the same if he/she is willing to work hard. I also do not look down at low-income people because I was one of them forty years ago. But homelessness is different. When the unemployment rate is so low and there are more than eight million job openings waiting for applicants, it's rather clear that those homeless people need more than just a place to stay. They need extra help so that they can stand up on their own feet again. Instead of scattering around, they need to be in some places where extra help is available and suitable job openings are nearby. Most of all, this country has to stop illegal drug trafficking. Based on what I have seen in some areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco, most of the homeless people seem to share the same problem. Homelessness and illegal drugs are two facets of the same problem. This coming November, my vote will be for those who can provide the right solution.

Although I am deeply concerned about some of the sites, in particular the Marymount and Salvation Army sites, there is the much bigger issue of the city not being in compliance and exposure to the so-called builder's remedy. I do not wish to see the further development of open spaces or, for that matter, any development that changes the natural and architectural beauty that Rancho Palos Verdes and the rest of the Palos Verdes Peninsula are known for. So much land that was untouched in my youth has been built out already. In this case, however, we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Let's get the Housing Element approved, then tackle the larger issue of restoring local control to cities. Thanks for your consideration.

The site's current grade is lower than that of the adjacent highway and slopes downward to the south, which will minimi ze the visibility of future development. 3. The current grade of the site is higher than what is expected for future development. Over excavation will be necessary to remove loose and non -certified fill dirt that has accumulated over time, thereby further reducing the site grade, and further minimizing the visibility of future development from the highway. 4. The parcel remains vacant within an established neighborhood developed with single -story and two-story, single-family and multi -family homes. 5.

The property falls within the Coastal Zone and is subject to the Coastal Act. Any future developments on the property will require a project-specific application reviewed by the Planning Department and approved by the Planning Commission at a public hearing ensuring conformance with all relevant codes and policies, including the Coastal Specific Plan. 3. Upon Planning permit approval of development on the site, the construction of any project requires a building plan check application prior to building permit issuance, ensuring adherence to all building and fire codes, including geotechnical stability.

Dear Mr. Vahdani : As requested, Byer Geotechnical has prepared these geologic and geotechnical comments concerning the proposed zoning change for the approximately 1.5 acre subject property. BG performed subsurface exploration on the property in 2022, and prepared the referenced reports. In addition, the site was revisited on April 3, 2024, with the property owner and his consultants . The property was observed, including the canyon, and the inlet to a drainage pipe that extends beneath Sea Cove Drive. The observation continued by hiking through adjacent Abalone Cove Shoreline Park, to the beach, and westward along the base of the sea cliff below 8 to 24 Sea Cove Drive. 1461 East Chevy Chase Drive, Su ite 20 0 • Glendale, Ca lifornia 91206 • te l 818.549.9959 • fax 818.543.37 47 • www .byergeo.com April4,2024 BG 23514 Page 2 It is our understanding that testimony at a recent city council meeting included information that recent cracks indicating land movement had been observed on the slope below 8 to 24 Sea Cove Drive. Mike Phipps of Cotton Shires and Associates, an engineering geologist for the city of Rancho Palos Verdes, was contacted by phone. He confirmed the presence of recent cracking indicating the reactivation of an ancient landslide below the Sea Cove residences. The following comments, based on review of available documents, the recent site observation, and consultation with Mr. Phipps, are presented from a geologic and soil engineering standpoint to assist in evaluating the zoning change request. In general, the geologic conditions underlying a site have little beating on a zoning change request. If a property is stable, then any number of units could be geotechnically engineered. Similarly, if a property is not stable, no units would be feasible until the stability is improved. With respect to the subject property, the 2022 subsurface exploration and recent observation do not indicate any evidence oflarge scale slope instability. The recent ground cracking noted below 8 to 24 Sea Cove may be related to an older feature shown on published geologic maps (see enclosed Regional Geologic Map). As noted by Mr. Phipps, the subject property is more than 500 feet from this feature, and so is not an indication that the subject property is unstable. It should be pointed out that during the recent area walk, abundant indications of large scale land movement was observed across the eastern portion of Abalone Cove Shoreline Park, extending northward to the vicinity of the Wayfarers Chapel. This area is a known active slide, and does not impact the subject property. It should be noted that the canyon crossing the subject property receives drainage released from a storm drain under Palos Verdes Drive South, and ongoing erosion has created steep side slopes that require remediation as part of any new construction on the subject proeprty. The erosion does pose a hazard to the existing fire station to the north. Any new project should include connecting the storm drain pipes at Palos Verdes Drive South to the storm drain under Sea Cove Drive, and filling to support the side slopes, which would include stabilizing the slope below the fire station structure.

PLGP2022-0001 , PLGP 2024 -001 , PLZC 2024-001 , PLCA20 24-001 & PLCA 2024-002) Dear Mayor Cruikshank and City Council Members, I am the owner of the prope1iy located at the corner of Palos Verdes South and Clipper Road identified as Assessor Parcel No. 7573-006-024 (Site No. 16). We are pleased to provide a suitable site for the proposed zoning change in order to allow for a higher density , and support the City Staffs and HCD 's recommendation . Expei-iences We have developed several properties and constructed many others for clients. We lov e this neighborhood as much as many of the residents that have spoken before the Planning Commission and likely will speak before the council. We purchased and own 5 Clipper across the street from this project. We have remodeled the Clipper project to bring it more up to date and make it compatible with the neighborhood. Some of my neighbors have followed suit. It is because of my experience with this that we purchased Site No. 16 , even though it has on-site diffi c ulties to develop the site. We have ex perience coming into older estab lished neighborhoods and improving prope1iies to b1in g up the quality of the entire neighborhood while being respectful of the neighborhood . We also try to keep ownership of paii of every project , so we plan to be around as neighbors for a while . Geotechnical Concerns Because of the neighbors' concerns of geotechnical issues in RPV, we have retained Byer Geotechnical, Inc. to evaluate the site's feasibility from a geotechnical standpoint, and as stated in the attached Byer report, there are no landslides or geotechnical issues that make this site unsafe or prevent this site from being developed. The geology of this site has also been evaluated by the City, as discussed on page 12-13 of the City's April 16, 2024 staff report: This is the excerpt from the Staff Report (emphasis added): 4. Consider the proximity of the Clipper Site #16 on the sites inventory to the landslide _ complex ~°'d tb~_geQIQgical jn1gact ofd~vel!>pmel!t at the ~jte ap.d c_om]nunicate with HCD to consider the removal of this site or shifting the units to another site; SCAG/HCD To determine which sites to consider, the City started with the SCAG recommendations of eligible sites. HCD is looking for sites that are vacant, of a minimum size, and to be added at a minimum density to be viably considered for the sites inventory. The potential housing site located at APN: 7573-006024 (Site No. 16) was in the initial SCAG recommended sites and met the criteria HCD requires, and therefore was included in the initial City Council adoption of the Housing Element in August 2022. Since the adoption of the Housing Element in 2022, in response to HCD's comments, a site-by-site analysis of the Potential Housing Sites Inventory in the City's Housing Element was prepared by the City's housing consultant, Dudek, detailing the physical development feasibility of each proposed housing site. Site No. 16 is located outside of the landslide moratorium area and the Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex. CITY'S GEOTECH The City's geoteclmical consultant, Mike Phipps opined on the geological impact at the potential housing site located at APN: 7573-006-024 (Site No. 16). He identified two "Dormant-Old" landslides within the surrounding area. however noted that these landslide features a1·e isolated and separated fi'om the Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex, and the western Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide boundarv is moderately well defined based on geomorphic expression. Given this understanding of the geology and tectonic history, he does not expect western expansion of today's movement of the Landslide Complex beyond the mapped Ancient Pol'tuguese Bend Landslide boundary. FURTHER REVIEW OF SPECIFICS Additionally, it should be noted that any proposed development would require geotechnical analysis and compliance with Califomia Building Code requirements. Should the landslide complex boundaries expand, Staff can initiate a discussion for potential alternative housing sites with HCD. At this time, should the City Council remove or revise a potential housing site, the Revised Housing Element would need to return to HCD for additional review for compliance.

RPV City Council & Staff, Why do we need to build so-called low-income housing which is being forced on us by California equity policy when Sacramento homeless spending is unaccountable allowing developers to take advantage of laws we did not pass? Vote No on the Salvation Property Site Project. California State Auditor's Scathing Homeless Report: Where Did The Money .GQ1 The homeless-industrial complex -which stands between the state and the homeless person -is hoovering up vast amounts of cash with little or no oversight. In the last five years, the state has spent about $24 billion dollars trying to eradicate -or at least lessen - California's enormous homelessness problem. Currently, there are about 183,000 homeless people in the state: that's up 53% in the past ten years and 30% in just the last five. That puts the average annual spending per homeless person at about $30,000 and that figure does not necessarily include local programs. For example, this fiscal year alone Los Angeles will spend another $1.3 billion -about another $19,000 per person -on top of the state money while other cities will do much the same. The LA figure does not include the billions set aside in bond money to build "permanent housing," housing that it is coming in at a clip of about $750,000 per unit for what is essentially a studio apartment.

As you all know, this vacant lot is less than 1000 feet from the recently closed Wayfarers Chapel where PV Drive South is already compromised due to the active landslide and where the road is in serious disrepair. It is extremely negligent that anyone would think re-zoning this small lot to accommodate 22 new homes would be a good idea in this active slide zone area. Our home is at the corner of Clipper and Sea Cove. I am concerned about the slide moving closer to our neighborhood. Allowing the current owner/developer of this parcel to build up to 22 homes on this site or even 1 O homes on this site is irresponsible and not without consequences considering the instability of this land and potential to devastate our community. Not to ~ention the amount of trucks and cars that would be using the already compromised PV Drive South to get to this site, causing even more damage and congestion to the road. At this time, we don't even know what is going to happen to Palos Verdes Drive South. The entire Road could slide into the ocean. If this happens, we have another huge problem having this new development right here in my backyard. What if this construction re-activates the ancient landslide that exists at the edge of Sea Cove Drive? What if the building of these homes shakes the ground enough to push the current slide further North towards our neighborhood from the Wayfarers Chapel? These are Valid Concerns of myself and the other homeowners in our community and I would hope that they are also concerns of the City Officials, The Planning Department and the City Council. I understand that approving this housing element doesn't mean the builder will build. However, all of the builders that I know are looking to maximize their profits and will build as many homes on a property as the city and planning department will allow. I urge you to stop this now. I am in Real Estate and have been selling on the Peninsula for the past 15 years. Homes near any slide activity are losing their value as the days go by because no one wants them and insurance companies won't touch them! The Sea View Neighborhood has seen their values drop 20-30% since the end of last year and in some cases 70% due to the slide activity on Dauntless. This is extreme and very costly for families who have their life savings in their homes. I ask you to please consider the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes and vote AGAINST the Clipper Road Rezone. 1 J. Thank You.

We appreciate what you do for our city and the efforts to maintain our wonderful quality of life living in Rancho Palos Verdes. We write to you today in regards to the Housing Element Site #16, also noted as the Clipper Road Property. We ask that you take the consideration of the Planning Commission to "Consider the proximity of the Clipper Site #16 on the sties inventory to the landslide complex and the geological impact of development at the site and communicate with HCD to consider the removal of this site or shifting the units to another site." Since the imposition of this state mandate there have been drastic changes to the land in the surrounding area. No one can predict the stability of the land on Clipper. Wayfarer's Chapel and the surrounding area were stable for many years. Approaching the State and HCD with the current state of affairs in the area (issues of flooding and land movement) and the close proximity of the Clipper property should be addressed and the recommendation to have this property removed from the study. We live adjacent to the Clipper property. Building a larger construction site at 3 stories and maximum height of 40 feet, creating high density living to this relatively small property is worrisome. Who can guarantee that this will not trigger land movement or flooding and damage to our current homes? The lot is not flat, it slopes downward to the adjoining Clipper and Sea Cove homes. It is also adjacent to a flood channel and with more housing will create other problems as more water will be diverted to this small channel. One of the many issues that were not addressed in the study. Developing this property and the event of changes to our roads and properties will be a tremendous liability placed upon this city. Our city is aware and has knowledge of the constant movement taking place and the potential catastrophic affect it may have on our homes and community. We urge you to protect our properties and our city from what could be a huge legal liability. As a community we oppose the City's proposal to rezone the Clipper Road site.

I also stressed our duty to protect and preserve the priceless habitat in the extremely environmentally sensitive area involved. Please keep a very careful inventory of any such habitat that may be disturbed by the project so that any such loss may be appropriately mitigated at project completion.

It would seem that, based on information available to the public, the City is entitled to install wells immediately under the declared emergency. It would seem that hydraugers are nothing more than horizontal dewatering wells. So why not install one or more hydraugers as a more efficient dewatering strategy and a proof of concept? 1 3. The Land Conservancy has pointed out that the cliff sides are an extremely sensitive habitat area with extremely rare plants. So any such effort would require a careful joint inventory and an agreement for replacement of any habitat loss. That done, I believe that the community would support such an effort.
