WATER PERMIT ORDER NO. R4-2012-0175, AMENDED BY ORDER WQ
2015-0075.
DATE:November 22, 2021
BACKGROUND:
Rolling Hills is a permittee of the Los Angeles County Municipal Storm Water Permit. As a permittee,
the City is required to submit an annual report by December 15, for the prior fiscal year. The City has a
contract agreement with McGowan Consulting who provide consulting services for the City regarding
storm water matters and assist preparing the annual report.
The annual report has two different attachments: A) Machado Lake Trash TMDL Annual Report, and
B) Santa Monica Bay Debris TMDL Annual Report. The attachments are currently not available on this
document. John Hunter is still finalizing the reports and city staff has the pre-drafted reports with
McGowan's comments available if needed. In order for us to receive approval with the due date of
December 15, 2021 and no City Council meetings conducted in December staff needed to present the
item today. Attachments A & B are prepared by John L. Hunter and Associates reviewed by McGowan
and then finalized by John Hunter. John L. Hunter and Associates Inc. is the storm water consultant for
the Peninsula Watershed Group. The Peninsula Watershed Group is comprised of Rancho Palos Verdes,
Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates, and Los Angeles County (for the unincorporated portions of
the County land on the Peninsula) with Rancho Palos Verdes as the lead agency. The City also
participates in the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) through the Peninsula
Watershed Group.
As a part of John L. Hunter ’s scope of work, separate reports are prepared for the Machado Lake Trash
TMDL and the Santa Monica Bay Debris TMDL. The reports discuss the City's water quality
monitoring activities as mandated by the permit and report on the effectiveness of measures
implemented by the agency to meet pollutant thresholds. For Fiscal Year 2020-2021, based on
monitoring data, the City's existing instructional and source control measures are concluded to be
effective.

2. Program Expenditures
Complete the following items in this section.
5.1a) 2.1 Source(s) of funds used in the past year, and proposed for the coming year, to meet
necessary expenditures on the Permittee’s stormwater management program [VI.A.3.b]:
The City has funded the implementation of the MS4 Permit and TMDL compliance through its
General Fund. The City’s General Fund budget for all municipal operations and services, including
MS4 Permit compliance, is approximately $2 million annually, while the City’s expenditures for
stormwater programs have been increasing steadily year-over-year. The City is receiving
approximately $100,000 per year from the Safe Clean Water Program for its municipal
stormwater program which will assist in addressing these increasing stormwater program costs.
The City utilizes contract Building & Safety services for new and redevelopment plan checking,
permitting, and construction site inspections. The contract building officials collect permit fees
from developers that offset the cost of stormwater compliance review and inspection for
development projects under the Planning and Land Development Program and the Development
Construction Program.

Complete the following items in this section.
3.1 Did you develop and implement procedures to ensure that a discharger, if not a named Permittee in
this Order, fulfilled the requirements of Part III.A.4.a.i-vi? If so, provide a link to where the
procedures may be found or attach to the Annual Report [III.A.4.a]:
The City does not own or operate an MS4 thus the provisions of Part III.A.4.a.i-vi do not
specifically apply to the City.
3.2 Did you develop and implement procedures that minimize the discharge of landscape irrigation
water into the MS4? If so, provide a link to where the procedures may be found or attach to the
Annual Report [III.A.4.b]:
Since 2010 the City has been applying water efficient landscape requirements to projects
subject to discretionary review. In 2015 the Governor of California issued Executive Order B29-
15 instructing the Department of Water Resources to amend the 2010 Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) to increase water efficiency standards for new and retrofitted
landscapes. On May 13, 2019, the City adopted its own water efficient landscape ordinance
consistent with the statewide 2015 MWELO.
The City disseminates educational information on native and drought tolerant landscaping,
water conservation, and water use restrictions through the City’s website: https://www.rolling-
hills.org/government/planning_and_community_services/index.php#lanscapedesignstandards.
Additionally, California Water Service, the retail water provider to all residents in the City, has
instituted prohibitions on outdoor water use as described at:
https://www.calwater.com/conservation/drought/prohibited-uses-water/
3.3 Where Receiving Water Limitations were exceeded, describe efforts that were taken to determine
whether discharges from the MS4 caused or contributed to the exceedances and all efforts that
were taken to control the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to those receiving waters in
response to the exceedances (e.g., BMPs that were implemented) [Attachment E – XVIII.A.5.e]:
Sections 6.3.1 and 6.4.2 of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Integrated Monitoring Compliance
Report (IMCR) which is Volume II of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Watershed Annual Report,
discuss receiving water monitoring results and, if applicable, exceedances of receiving water
limitations. Continuous flow monitoring conducted during the reporting year in a canyon
drainage system representative of the City as a whole demonstrated that the strategies, control
measures and BMPs implemented by the City cumulatively retained all conditionally exempt,
non-essential non-stormwater and all stormwater runoff up to and including the runoff volume
from an 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event which effectively minimized the contribution of
runoff from the City to receiving waters.

4.2 How many of the conditionally exempt non-stormwater discharges in Part III.A.2.b of the Permit did
you determine to be sources of pollutants that caused or contributed to an exceedance of receiving
water limitations or WQBELs? If you made that determination, which type(s) of non-stormwater
discharges in Part III.A.2.b were sources of pollutants? [III.A.4.d]
Zero (0). The City submitted a source investigation report with the reporting year 2016-17
Annual Report which found no conditionally exempt discharges from the City to the MS4.
Continuous flow monitoring conducted during the reporting year in a representative canyon
drainage system in the City demonstrated that the strategies, control measures and BMPs
1 “Significant Non-Storm Water Discharges” as identified by the Permittee per Part IX.C.1 of the MRP
2 “Allowable Sources” include NPDES permitted discharges, discharges subject to a Record of Decisions approved by USEPA
pursuant to section 121 of CERCLA, conditionally exempt essential non-storm water discharges, and natural flows as defined in Part
III.A.d of the permit.

implemented by the City cumulatively retained any conditionally exempt, non-essential non-
stormwater. Additionally, ten years of monthly dry weather observations documenting no
measurable flow at the Lariat site to which the City is jointly tributary with another MS4
Permittee provide additional evidence that there are no conditionally exempt non-stormwater
discharges from the City to the MS4. Accordingly, there has been no need to make a
determination that any conditionally exempt non-stormwater discharges in Part III.A.2.b of the
Permit are sources of pollutants that caused or contributed to an exceedance of receiving water
limitations or WQBELs.
4.3 State when the non-stormwater outfall-based screening and monitoring program will be (or was) re-
assessed. If applicable, describe any changes to program (the program must be re-assessed once
during the permit term) [Attachment E – IX.B.2].
The City of Rolling Hills Non-Storm Water Screening and Monitoring Program (NSW Screening &
Monitoring Program) was developed in September 2014 and approved by Regional Board staff.
The program was re-assessed during reporting year 2016-17 based on the results of the
completed Source Investigation and one modification was recommended which was to remove
Purple Canyon from the list of canyons to be screened since it is documented to have natural
flows consistent with its status as a blue-line stream tributary to George F Canyon, a known
perennial stream.
4.4 Additional Information. If desired, provide additional information regarding Non-Stormwater Outfall
Screening and Monitoring:
None.

5.1j) Did you provide materials to educate school children (K-12) on stormwater pollution?
The City participates in the county-wide Environmental Defenders and Generation Earth
programs. The Environmental Defenders Rock the Planet – You Can Change the World Tour is a
30-minute, high-energy assembly program that is offered free to all elementary schools in Los
Angeles County, including the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District schools attended
by children living in Rolling Hills. Teachers or administrators can schedule the virtual assembly
online. The program includes an interactive website where students can extend their learning
experience after participating in the assembly. Due to Covid-19, Los Angeles County is currently
providing free, downloadable lesson plans for educators and families to utilize at home or
through remote learning, and are offering a virtual version of the Environmental Defenders
assembly program.
The Generation Earth program is an environmental education program that provides training
and support to secondary school teachers and students at public and private schools within Los
Angeles County. The program offers tools and techniques for service-learning projects that
meet state curriculum standards. These activities and publications are available to download by
educators for free. The water pollution prevention toolkit explores the water pollution potential
on a typical campus and guides students in conducting a water audit of their campus and
choosing from a variety of options to reduce water waste and pollution. In Spring 2020,
Generation Earth began offering virtual high-quality, hands-on activities and projects for
teachers to do with students in their virtual classrooms and have transformed their in -person
workshops to interactive virtual workshops that address environmental topics and project ideas
at school and also at home. Ridgecrest Intermediate School of the Palos Verdes Unified School
District participated in the Streets to the Sea competition.
The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy’s School-Based Programs help children
understand the beauty and significance of the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s natural areas and
empower them to play a role in their preservation. From elementary school science programs
to student research projects, the goal is to create a commitment to science and nature and to
inspire excitement about the outdoors. The long-standing 3rd Grade Student Naturalist Program

has been implemented for decades—the program serves 24 schools annually with
approximately 2,000 students participating. During the Covid-19 crisis the program was
converted to a distance learning format with online educational video lessons and nature
handbook along with a home-based wildlife survey and habitat survey to help students learn
how they can improve the habitat around their homes for wildlife.
West Basin Municipal Water District also offers a wide array of educational programs, contests
and tours to help students in grades 3 -12 find out more about water and water conservation.
Educators and school administrators are notified about the programs through a quarterly
newsletter, Waterworks. http://www.westbasin.org/community/education. Programs include
water treatment facility tours, career-focused classroom presentations, water themed
assemblies and engineering challenges. All activities support the Common Core State Standards
and the Next Generation Science Standards.
West Basin fosters student creativity and innovation throughout its service area by hosting the
annual "Water is Life" student art contest. Student artists inspire their communities to support
water conservation as a way of life by creating thought-provoking water-smart pieces of art.
Nearly 450 entries were received from students throughout the West Basin service area, with
one grand prize winner and four honorable mentions being selected in each of the elementary,
middle and high school categories.
Solar Cup 2021 is an online program that encourages high-school students to develop skills by
completing a menu of STEAM-focused challenges. At the end of the Solar Cup 2021 program,
teams will virtually race their solar vehicle models. West Basin sponsored four Solar Cup 2021
online teams, including Palos Verdes Peninsula High School.
5.1k) Additional Information. If desired, provide additional information regarding implementation

5.3c) Planning and Land Development Efforts beyond Permit Requirements. If applicable, describe
Planning and Land Development activities that went above and beyond the permit
requirements (e.g., stricter LID ordinance, small-site LID).
By design, the City is a model of low-impact development utilizing nature-based solutions for
management of stormwater. A substantial area of land in Rolling Hills is constrained from
development due to steep hillsides and canyons; the use of these areas as wildlife habitats and
native vegetation is emphasized. Rolling Hills’ zoning code further promotes the preservation
and appreciation of open space by requiring easements for equestrian/ hiking trails on all lots.
There are approximately 30 miles of unpaved equestrian/hiking trails throughout the City.
Roads within the City have many green street features. They are designed as narrow, two -lane
undivided winding roads 20 to 25 feet wide with rolling to steep grades lined with significant
naturalized landscaping. There are no sidewalks or curb-and-gutter systems, and roads are not
designed to be stormwater conveyance systems
9 “Number of Projects Completed” should only include projects that are completed and signed off by the Permittee during the
reporting year. In progress projects that have been issued a permit, but are not completed should not be included.
10 “Alternative Compliance Measures” refer to the mitigation options listed in Part VI.D.7 of the permit. These options include: on -site
biofiltration, offsite infiltration, groundwater replenishment projects, offsite retrofits of existing developments, and areas covered by a
regional storm water mitigation program.
11 “Total Storm Water Quality Design Volume (SWQDv)” should also include the SWQDv which would have been achieved on-site
for projects completed using alternative compliance measures.

The City’s Zoning Ordinance contains strict standards for development ratios on each property.
Only 40% of the net area of a lot may be disturbed for construction, and the remaining area of
the lot must remain in its natural state. Only 35% of the net lot area may be developed with
impervious surfaces, including structures, patios and other paved areas. Driveways may not
cover more than 20% of the area of the yard in which they are located. Uncovered motor
courts/parking pads may not cover more than 10% of the yard in which they are located. Horse
stable access-ways may not be entirely paved and use of 100% gravel or decomposed granite is
encouraged. The City has developed a guide for construction of stables on residential properties
which includes consideration of proximity to blue line streams and natural drainage courses so
as not to negatively affect stormwater quality in the siting of stables, horse wash stations, and
manure storage. Tennis and sports courts are encouraged to have pervious surfaces as well.
Stormwater run-off that is not contained on properties is conveyed through the City via natural,
soft bottom drainage courses/canyons, providing ample opportunity for runoff to infiltrate.
Installation of cisterns and biofiltration devices are encouraged on projects even when they are
not required.

5.3i) Additional Information. If desired, provide additional information regarding implementation
of the Planning and Land Development Program.
The City is a model of low-impact development by design. There is no industrial or commercial
land use within the City. The City is developed with only single-family, single-story ranch style
homes. Minimum lot size is 1 acre; the average lot size is 2.7 acres. There is no public
infrastructure and no City-owned or maintained storm drains, roads, sewers, sidewalks or curb-
and-gutter. Stormwater run-off that is not contained on properties is conveyed through the City
via natural, soft bottom drainage courses/canyons, providing ample opportunity for runoff to
infiltrate. Accordingly, few parcels are connected directly to an improved MS4 (there are some
structural improvements to manage energy dissipation and protect slopes). Residential projects
that do not trigger the numeric retention requirements of low-impact development are
required to implement measures that pertain to single-family hillside homes consistent with the
MS4 Permit including conserving natural areas, protecting slopes and channels, and diverting
16 “Offsite projects” refers only to offsite projects being used as an alternative compliance measure for development/redev elopment
project applicants that have demonstrated technical infeasibility for on -site retention of the SWQDv. This does not include on -site
biofiltration, however it does include off-site biofiltration projects.

roof runoff and surface flows to vegetated areas before discharge unless the diversion would
result in slope instability.
All roads within the City are private, semi-rural in layout and are not equipped with curb-and-
gutter so are not part of the MS4. As a consequence, green street BMP projects that would
retain or treat stormwater are not feasible within the City. However, it is noteworthy that all
the roads within the City were originally designed and continue to be maintained by the
community association with features applicable to green street design such as: narrow widths
and soft shoulders without paved sidewalks which minimizes impervious surface area, no extra
paved width is provided for on-street parking, natural drainage courses and riparian areas have
been preserved, and pedestrian movement through the City is accommodated via a pervious
trail network.

Contracted plan check staff, engineers, office managers, and inspectors are annually trained for
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 Permit compliance. The City’s
code enforcement officer provides additional outreach and oversight of construction sites
beyond that provided by contract Building & Safety inspectors.
During the plan checking and/or permit issuance stage, plan checkers require that applicable
MS4 Permit and Construction General Permit (CGP) requirements are met and that BMPs for
construction activities are incorporated into the development plans. The contract building
officials require that developers sign a Statement of Understanding Pertaining to BMPs and
NPDES Requirements. For any project involving a grading or excavation permit regardless of
size, a pre-construction meeting is held between City staff, RHCA staff, the building inspector,
the property owner and the contractor and subcontractor to discuss construction BMP
requirements and ensure that responsibility for implementing the BMPs is clear. During this
meeting, the Small Site Construction brochure, available in English and Spanish, is provided to
contractors of sites under one (1) acre to inform them of the required minimum BMPs.
Extra protection during construction is required for projects adjacent to environmentally
sensitive areas and, in some cases, a biologist monitors the project and adjacent
environmentally sensitive area during construction to ensure that proper protections are
maintained.

COORDINATED INTEGRATED MONITORING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION (CIMP)
During the reporting year, the City continued to participate in the multi-year implementation
of the Peninsula CIMP, which includes participation in the multi-year Coordinated Compliance
Monitoring Program for the Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Toxics TMDL . The City
is also implementing multi-year activities in support of several TMDLs.
MULTI-YEAR REGIONAL PROJECT ACTIVITIES
Torrance Airport Stormwater Basin Regional Project
The Torrance Airport Stormwater Regional Project will support attainment of both the
Machado Lake Nutrient TMDL and the Machado Lake Pesticides and PCBs TMDL. The project
will also address water quality impairments in Wilmington Drain which is tributary to Machado
Lake. The City, along with the other Peninsula WMG agencies, contributed a proportionate
share based on tributary area to match the Prop 1 Stormwater Grant funding for preliminary
design of the Torrance Airport Storm Water Regional Project to assess its feasibility and
potential for assisting in attainment of the Machado Lake Nutrients and Pesticides & PCBs
waste load allocations (WLAs). Preliminary design work was concluded during the 2019-2020
reporting year. The most feasible project concept was determined to be diversion by gravity
flow from the storm drain into subsurface storage galleries from which the captured
stormwater would then be pumped to the Sanitation District’s Joint Water Pollution Control
Plant (JWPCP) and eventually treated to serve as recycled water.
In the spring of 2020, the South Santa Monica Bay Watershed Area Steering Committee
(WASC) included Safe Clean Water Regional Program Infrastructure Funds in the amount of
$906,000 for final design of the Torrance Airport Regional Project in its FY20-21 Stormwater
Investment Plan which was subsequently approved by the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors during summer 2020. In the spring of 2021, the City of Torrance received the
transfer of funds from the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and began preparation of
a request for proposals from engineering consulting firms for the design of the Torrance
Airport Stormwater Basin Project.
Palos Verdes Multi-Benefit Flow Diversion Project
The Peninsula WMG has completed an initial investigation into the feasibility of constructing a
project at the former site of the Palos Verdes Landfill (PVLF). This proposed Palos Verdes
Multi-Benefit Flow Diversion Project would divert significant year-round baseline flow from a
major storm drain system serving a 1,513-acre area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula tributary to
Machado Lake. The predominant source of this baseline flow is understood to be authorized
natural flows from rising groundwater, i.e., springs emerging from the Palos Verdes Hills that

historically flowed along natural canyons and were routed into the storm drain system during
development of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the Palos Verdes Landfill.
During the reporting year, the Peninsula WMG applied for FY21-22 Safe Clean Water Technical
Resources Funding in the amount of $300,000 to develop the project feasibility study, which
has been approved by the South Santa Monica Bay WASC and the Regional Oversight
Committee of the Safe Clean Water Program and included in the FY21-22 Stormwater
Investment Plan approved by the LA County Board of Supervisors in September 2021.
Harbor City Park Regional Project
A stormwater capture project at Harbor City Park in the City of Los Angeles is listed in th e
Dominguez Channel Watershed Management Group (DCWMG) EWMP, and the Peninsula
WMG has been investigating the possibility of partnering on a regional project at this location.
The County of Los Angeles, as a member of both the Peninsula WMG and DCWMG, has taken
the lead on this project and initiated discussions with City of Los Angeles Department of
Recreation and Parks (RAP) and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts to explore the
feasibility of a multi-agency stormwater capture project at Harbor City P ark. On May 20, 2020,
the South Santa Monica Bay Watershed Area Steering Committee voted to include the project
in its FY2021 Stormwater Investment Plan for technical resources funding (feasibility study).
The Stormwater Investment Plan was approved by t he Safe Clean Water Regional Oversight
Committee on June 24, 2020, and subsequently approved by the LA County Board of
Supervisors.
SANTA MONICA BAY BEACHES BACTERIA TMDL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
On July 15, 2005, responsible jurisdictions and agencies in Jurisdictional Group 7, including the
City of Rolling Hills, submitted a final Implementation Plan for the SMBBB TMDL. In Resolution
No. 2006-008 the Regional Board acknowledged that there are no milestones in the final
Implementation Plan for Jurisdictional Group 7 because existing water quality conditions at
the beaches along the Palos Verdes Peninsula are equivalent to being in compliance with the
SMBBB Wet Weather TMDL. The Implementation Plan committed to maintain and improve
water quality and to address any unanticipated exceedances through investigations and
corrective action. All of the Peninsula shoreline monitoring sites have met the State Water
Resources Control Board’s delisting criteria and have been delisted from the 303(d)-list
indicating that Peninsula shoreline waters are no longer considered to be impaired for
indicator bacteria. Many of the programmatic implementation activities discussed for other
TMDLs below also support maintenance of high-quality recreational waters in Santa Monica
Bay.
MACHADO LAKE NUTRIENT TMDL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
The City continues to conduct implementation activities consistent with the approved Palos
Verdes Peninsula Subwatershed Coordinated Implementation Plan in Compliance with the
Machado Lake Eutrophic, Algae, Ammonia and Odors (Nutrient) TMDL submitted to the
Regional Board on March 11, 2011.

particular note with respect to stormwater, the guidelines specify that when locating
stables, manure cleanup and proximity to blue line streams should be taken into account.
Additionally, horse wash station placement should consider nearby natural drainage
courses so as not to negatively affect stormwater quality.
MACHADO LAKE PESTICIDES & PCBS TMDL, GREATER LOS ANGELES HARBOR TOXICS TMDL
AND SANTA MONICA BAY DDT & PCBS TMDL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
The City’s Implementation Plan for Machado Lake Pesticides & PCBs, Greater Los Angeles
Harbor Waters Toxic Pollutants, and Santa Monica Bay DDT & PCBs Total Maximum Daily
Loads (Implementation Plan) satisfies the implementation planning requirements for both the
Machado Lake Pesticides & PCB and the Dominguez Channel and Greater Los Angeles and
Long Beach Harbor Waters Toxic Pollutants TMDLs established by the Regional Board, and also
to support attainment of water quality objectives for the Santa Monica Bay DDT and PCBs
TMDL issued by U. S. EPA.
Key strategies outlined in the Implementation Plan focus on control of erosion and sediment
transport, prevention of wildfires, integrated pest management and household hazardous
waste management in combination with ongoing implementation of low impact development
and multi-year regulatory source control programs as summarized below:
Erosion and Sediment Control:
For toxic pollutants such as organochlorine pesticides that can be present as legacy pollutants
in soils, erosion and sediment control to reduce sediment transport in stormwater during
construction is an important source control measure. Additionally, toxic pollutants present in
soils due to air deposition such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are also amenable
to control through erosion and sediment controls. Please refer to Section 5.4d for a summary
of erosion and sediment control measures that are implemented under the Development
Construction Program.
Wildfire Prevention Measures:
A substantial body of research demonstrates that wildfires can be a significant source of toxic
pollutants in stormwater, thus the prevention of wildfires is an important measure for
preventing toxic pollutant releases. This is especially critical in Rolling Hills which is in a very
high fire hazard severity zone. The City has adopted the most recent fire standards in Title 32
of the Los Angeles County Code (Fire Code).21 These include more restrictive building
standards relating to fire and public safety than those adopted by the State Fire Marshal in the
California Building Code.
The City has adopted an ordinance that declares dead vegetation a public nuisance in order to
provide the City authority to abate it since it constitutes fire fuel and presents a threat to
public safety. The ordinance requires that properties within the City be maintained free of
dead trees, shrubs or plants and that properties with such conditions can be abated in
accordance with the City’s public nuisance code.22 A key responsibility of the code
enforcement officer is to proactively identify and obtain corrective actions on properties
where dead vegetation has been allowed to accumulate in violation of the City’s ordinance.
21 City of Rolling Hills Ordinance No. 351 adopted on April 10, 2017.
22 City of Rolling Hills Ordinance No. 345 adopted on November 23, 2015.

The City also contracts with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to implement fuel
modification by conducting brush and tree clearance along the southern boundary of the City
adjacent to the Portuguese Bend Preserve. During the reporting year the City augmented the
baseline services for control of non-native stands of mustard with additional services for
removal of non-native Acacia shrubs classified as high-hazard plants by the LA County Fire
Department.
The City’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) was awarded a FEMA Hazard
Mitigation Grant by the California Office of Emergency Services. The CWPP outlines an
iterative approach and defines a path for the City, its community and first responders to
prevent and prepare for wildfires.
The City disseminates information to residents and landscape contractors on the management
of landscapes for brush and fire control both through its newsletter and on its website pages
on Fire and Emergency Preparedness. The City provides unlimited green waste collection to
residents through its solid waste franchise contract to encourage the prompt removal of
accumulated leaves and landscape debris to help preven t brush fires.
Copper Brake Pad Replacement Program:
Copper from brake pad wear constitutes the single largest source of copper in metropolitan
environments. SB 346 passed by the California legislature in 2010 and signed by the Governor
on September 25, 2010, requires incremental reduction in the amount of copper in vehicle
brake pads by specific regulatory deadlines in 2021 and 2025. The first copper reduction
compliance deadline was January 2021 after which the copper content in brake pads cannot
exceed 5%.
Lead Reduction Programs:
As of January 1, 2010, California law (SB 757) prohibited the manufacture, sale or installation
of wheel weights containing more than 0.1% lead. The law took effect immediately, i.e., there
was no grace period. If lead wheel weights are removed from a tire on an existing vehicle for
any reason, the lead wheel weight may not be placed back on the tire. The language of the
statute is worded broadly and does not limit the scope of the legislation to automobile
weights only. Through the implementation of SB 757 a reduction in lead concentrations in
stormwater runoff from vehicles is anticipated.
Federal regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and Residential Lead-Based
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 regulate lead-based paints and hazards and
simultaneously serve as source control measures for dispersion of lead into the environment,
including stormwater. California has enacted additional measures to further regulate sources
of lead to reduce childhood lead exposure. Many of these measures also control the release of
lead into the environment.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Avgas emissions have become the
largest contributor to the relatively low levels of lead emissions produced in this country.”23
Avgas is a specialized fuel used to power piston engine aircraft and is the only remaining lead-
containing transportation fuel. The FAA is working with aircraft and engine manufacturers,
fuel producers, USEPA and industry associations to support research into alternate fuel
options and to overcome the technical and logistical challenges of developing and deploying

an unleaded avgas. When implemented, this replacement unleaded gasoline will reduce air
deposition of lead from small general aviation airplanes operating out of the nearby Torrance
Airport onto nearby areas, including the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Zinc Reduction:
The California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) has been working to utilize the
Department of Toxic Substances Control Safer Consumer Product Regulations to reduce the
zinc in tires which is one of the largest sources of zinc in urbanized areas. On May 31, 2018, a
petition was submitted to DTSC by CASQA asking for the use of its Safer Consumer
Products (SCP) program to work with tire makers to look for an alternative to this harmful
chemical. On January 4, 2019, a request for supplemental information was sent to CASQA by
DTSC to aid them in making a final merits determination. CASQA provided the supplemental
information on May 3, 2019. On January 12, 2021, DTSC put tire manufacturers on notice that
California wants them to explore alternatives to using zinc. DTSC is now working on preparing
a technical document and will solicit input from industry and the public prior to initiating
rulemaking. If DTSC chooses to regulate zinc in tires, manufacturers will have to conduct
an Alternatives Analysis to determine if there is a substitute that is safe for the environment
and public health while still meeting performance and safety requirements.

WQBELs, non-stormwater action levels or caused or contributed to Aquatic Toxicity.
7.2 Provide the status of multi-year efforts, including TMDL implementation, related to the
implementation or effectiveness assessment of non-stormwater control measures, that were not
completed in the current year and will continue into the subsequent year(s) [Attachment E –
XVIII.A.3.h]:
Results of the City’s Non-stormwater Screening and Monitoring Program has demonstrated the
effectiveness of non-stormwater control measures. The City continues to implement its water
efficient landscape ordinance which over time will further reduce the potential for non-
stormwater discharges associated with irrigation runoff as more properties are redeveloped
and the ordinance is implemented on more properties.
7.3 Provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the Permittee control measures in effectively
prohibiting non-stormwater discharges through the MS4 to the receiving water [Attachment E –
XVIII.A.4.b]:
Continuous flow monitoring conducted during the reporting year in a representative canyon
drainage system in the City demonstrates that the strategies, control measures and BMPs
implemented by the City cumulatively are effective in retaining all conditionally exempt, non-
essential non-stormwater. Additionally, for the past ten years during monthly dry weather
observations there has been no measurable flow of non-stormwater at the Peninsula CIMP
Lariat site to which the City is jointly tributary with one other MS4 Permittee.
7.4 Provide an assessment as to whether the quality of non-stormwater discharges as measured at
monitored outfalls is improving, staying the same or declining:
See Peninsula Watershed Annual Report, Volume II IMCR Section 6.3 for discussion of trends in
monthly outfall monitoring data.
7.5 Provide an assessment as to whether receiving water quality within the jurisdiction of the Permittee
is impaired, improving, staying the same or declining during dry-weather conditions. Each Permittee
may compare water quality data from the reporting year to previous years with similar dry -weather
flows, conduct trends analysis, draw from regional bioassessment studies, or use other means to
develop and support its conclusions [Attachment E, Part XVIII.A.4.a]:
See Peninsula Watershed Annual Report, Volume II IMCR Section 6.3.

7.6 Describe sources of significant non-stormwater discharges determined to be a NPDES permitted
discharge, a discharge subject to A Record of Decision approved by USEPA pursuant to section 121
of CERCLA, a conditional exempt essential non-stormwater discharge, or entirely comprised of
natural flows. [Attachment E – IX.F.2]
Persistent flow in one canyon within the City tributary to the Greater Los Angeles Harbor,
Purple Canyon, has been investigated and is attributed to natural flows consistent with this
canyon’s status as a tributary to George F Canyon, a known perennial stream.

8. TMDL Reporting
Complete the following items in this section.
8.1 Trash TMDL Compliance Report [VI.E.5.c.i]
For Permittees subject to Trash TMDLs, attach a Trash TMDL compliance report for each applicable Trash TMDL detailing
compliance with applicable interim and/or final effluent limitations. Indicate if compliance is being achieved through (1) full
capture systems; (2) partial capture devices and/or institutional controls; (3) combined compliance approaches; (4) minimum
frequency of assessment and collection (MFAC); or (5) an alternative compliance option.
The City is complying with the Machado Lake Trash TMDL and the Santa Monica Bay Debris
TMDL through institutional controls and an MFAC program as described in its approved Trash
Monitoring and Reporting Plan (TMRP). Results from this eleventh year of monitoring found 1
gallon of trash in one of seven (7) canyon study areas, equating to 99.97% reduction of trash
from its baseline allocation. See attached Machado Lake TMDL Monitoring and Reporting Plan
Annual Report and Santa Monica Bay Nearshore and Offshore Debris TMDL Monitoring and
Reporting Plan Annual Report.
Both the Santa Monica Bay Debris TMDL and the Machado Lake Trash TMDL were reconsidered
by the Regional Board on March 14, 2019. The Regional Board staff report for the
reconsideration of these TMDLs accurately stated that the City has met the 100% reduction of
trash from baseline waste load allocations. Accordingly, the City submitted its Revised Trash
Monitoring and Reporting Plan (TMRP) for Machado Lake Trash and Santa Monica Bay Debris
TMDLs on June 17, 2019, which proposed a reduction in monitoring frequency. On June 3, 2021,
the City received a letter from the Regional Board Executive Officer granting a reduction from
monitoring twice per year to once per year following the first major storm of the year.
8.2 TMDL Reporting [Attachment E, XIX]
Report on progress towards achieving interim or final milestones/WQBELs/RWLs based on applicable compliance schedules
in Attachments L-R and any additional milestones and corresponding deadlines in an approved WMP/EWMP . If this
information is reported in another document (e.g. Annual Report Watershed Form) or an attachment, clearly state and provide
a reference to the pertinent document and section.

1) The City is located on the drainage divide between two HUC 12 watershed boundaries on
the Palos Verdes Peninsula: the Santa Monica Bay and Dominguez Channel (which includes
the Machado Lake and Greater Los Angeles Harbor subwatersheds) such that portions o f
the City drain to each watershed as shown in Figure 1 in the Peninsula Watershed Annual
Report, Volume II IMCR. Table 10b below provides the list of tributaries named in the Basin
Plan to which portions of the City are tributary along with the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC
12) number and name for those tributaries.
2) The City is a small (3 square miles), private, entirely single-family residential community
with fewer than 2,000 residents. A map of the Peninsula showing land use and the
watershed divide is included in Figure 1 in the Peninsula Watershed Annual Report, Volume
II IMCR — the City of Rolling Hills’ boundary is included on that map. A more detailed land
use map of the City of Rolling Hills is provided as Attachment A.
3) The City relies on the County of Los Angeles Hydrology Map, which contains the 24-hour
85th percentile isohyetal map throughout the County and can be found at:
http://www.ladpw.org/wrd/hydrologygis/
4) The City relies on the NOAA Atlas 14 Point Precipitation Frequency Estimates for California

Provide the following information related to the Permittee(s) Drainage Area(s) within the Subwatershed:
1) A subwatershed map depicting the Permittee(s) jurisdictional area and the MS4,
including major outfalls (with identification numbers), and low flow diversions (with
identifying names or numbers) located, within the Permittee’s jurisdiction.
2) Provide the estimated baseline percent of effective impervious area (EIA) within the
Permittee(s) jurisdictional area as existed at the time that this Order became
effective and, if possible, the estimated change in the stormwater runoff volume
during the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event.
1) The City does not own or operate any portion of the MS4. A map of the major MS4 outfalls
in the Peninsula CIMP WMG was included as Figure 2 of the Peninsula CIMP —none of the
major MS4 outfalls are located in the City of Rolling Hills.
2) The City is an entirely residential semi-rural community of single-family, one-story homes
located within three square miles. Minimum lot size is 1 acre; the average lot size is 2.7
acres. There is no public infrastructure and no City-owned or maintained storm drains,
roads, sewers, sidewalks or curb-and-gutter, though there are some limited and
discontinuous MS4 structural improvements owned/operated by the Los Angeles County
Flood Control District (LACFCD). Accordingly, few parcels are connected directly to an
improved MS4 and most drainage is conveyed via primarily natural drainage courses (with
some structural improvements to manage energy dissipation and protect slopes). There are
no readily available historical records from which to estimate baseline effective impervious
area.
10.2 Rainfall Summary: Provide a rainfall summary for the reporting year including: (1) A summary of
the number of storm events; (2) The highest volume event (inches/24 hours); (3) The highest
number of consecutive days with measurable rainfall; and (4) The total rainfall during the reporting
year compared to average annual rainfall for the subwatershed [Attachment E – XVIII.A.2]:
See Peninsula Watershed Annual Report, Volume II IMCR Section 6.1.
10.3 SW Monitoring Event Summary: Provide a summary table describing rainfall during stormwater
outfall and wet weather receiving water monitoring events. The summary description shall include
the date, time that the storm commenced and the storm duration in hours, the highest 15-minute
recorded storm intensity (converted to inches/hour), the total storm volume (inches), and the time
between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous storm event.

At the January 11, 2021 City Council meeting, City Council approved an amended agreement with
Pacific Architecture and Engineering Inc. to assess the existing standby generator for the City Hall
campus, provide a report on their findings, and discuss options to replace the existing non-working
standby generator. The draft of the Standby Generator Assessment Report was delivered to the City on
April 21, 2021. Pacific Architecture and Engineering, Inc. met with City staff on April 30, 2021 to
review and discuss the report and findings. The Final Report was updated and submitted to the City on
May 5, 2021 and City Staff presented to City Council on May 10, 2021. In summary, The report
identified the parameters and constraints for the replacement standby generator/system Based on review
of the prior 12 months electric bills, determined the existing 75 kw could be replaced with an equivalent
sized system that would sufficient for the current building loads (City Hall and Rolling Hills
Community Association (RHCA) Building). The existing structure housing the generator does not
comply with current code requirements for clearances and has water intrusion with water collecting in
the fuel moat with the potential infiltrate into the electrical system and cause damage. This building
would need to be removed, replaced, or repaired for repurposing.
The report presented to City Council on May 10, 2021 provided 3 Options for consideration and an
interim solution. City Council raised numerous questions about the report during the May 10, 2021
meeting and moved to continue this item to a future meeting pending responses to questions raised.
Pacific Architecture and Engineering Inc. provided responses to the list of questions generated. The
83
questions and responses were reviewed and discussed at the May 24, 2021 City Council meeting. At the
May 24, 2021 meeting City Council directed staff to: 1) Pursue the Solar Option to replace the existing
Emergency Standby Generator, and; 2) Consider leasing portable generator to provide emergency
standby power until the Solar option is designed and installed, and; 3) Verify the portable generator
could connect to the existing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), and; 4) Remove the existing non-
functioning emergency standby generator, and: 5) Repair the water intrusion problem at the existing
generator structure repaired.
At the June 14, 2021 City Council meeting, City Council approved the second amendment to the
contract with Pacific Architecture and Engineering Inc. for design services required to address the
direction provided by City Council and outlined in items 1 through 5 in the last paragraph in the
background section for approximately $59,000.

(removal) of the existing emergency generator and to address the water intrusion problem at the existing
generator structure (included in items 4 and 5 in the scope of work under the second amendment to their
contract). These plans and specifications are ready to put out to bid and are attached to this staff
report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for this work to remove the existing emergency generator and address the existing water
intrusion problem at he existing generator building is estimated to be $39,312. The Order of Magnitude
Cost Estimate is attached to this staff report.

Agenda Item No.: 4.H
Mtg. Date: 11/22/2021
TO:HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:ASHFORD BALL, SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST
THRU:ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:RECEIVE AND FILE REPORT ON THE PROGRESS TO HIRE A
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO INVENTORY THE CITY HALL CAMPUS
IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS.
DATE:November 22, 2021
BACKGROUND:
Between 2016 and 2019 the landscaping on the campus was poorly maintained due to broken sprinkler
pipes, nonworking valves and inadequate care. In early 2020, the City conducted necessary repairs,
including insect, and gopher treatments to restore a fully functioning irrigation system at the campus.
Present day in 2021, even after repairs, the City seems to have continuous issues with gophers, broken
sprinkler pipes, diseased vegetation, overgrown weeds, and maintenance of the overall campus. The
City Hall Campus is approximately 1.3 acres and the Tennis Courts Facility is approximately 1.2 acres
estimating 2.5 acres in total.
DISCUSSION:
Without proper documentation of the campus and the existing irrigation, plant and plant species,
maintenance of the campus require constant investigative work to determine the location of irrigation
lines, irrigation controllers, and the age of equipment. Staff is incapable of having a maintenance plan,
for example, putting the irrigation heads on a replacement schedule. Additionally, with the City located
in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone designated by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, staff
would work with professional landscape architect to avoid high-hazard plants and design water efficient
plants, implement waterwise design principles for low maintenance.
In summary, the following are priorities for the landscape architect:
1. Remove the roses which are water intensive with more water-wise drought resistant plants
2. Install planting and water-wise landscaping in the patchy areas of City Hall Campus
3. Perform a irrigation inventory assessment on the City's irrigation system.
Lynn Capouya is a design service that focuses on planting, irrigation, and hardscape, but also includes
site furnishings, signage, concept lighting, concept grading, habitat restoration, and stormwater
drainage. They help their clients resolve critical issues such as climatic conditions, potable/reclaimed
105
irrigation water, and air/water/soil quality.
Evan Smith has worked as a independent landscape architect for over 20+ years and specializes in
design development for high end residential and commercial projects. Evan has worked with many
communities throughout the Los Angeles & Ventura counties some including Palos Verdes Estates and
Rolling Hills Estates. He has worked with the Los Angeles Fire Department constructing fuel
modification design plans for the Los Angeles County Fire Department and much more.
Both candidates submitted proposals, toured the campus, and are being considered by staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funds in the adopted budget to hire a landscape architect to assist with the design and
long term maintenance of the City Hall campus and tennis courts landscaping.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
PROPOSALS DUE 5:00PM, SEPTEMBER 17, 2021
BACKGROUND
The City of Rolling Hills is seeking proposals from qualified licensed landscape architect or firms to provide
professional services to audit existing conditions (landscape, lighting and irrigation), submit WELO
compliant landscape and lighting design package, install or assist in hiring a qualified licensed landscape
contractor to install the proposed project at the City Hall Campus located at 2 Portuguese Bend Road,
Rolling Hills, CA and Tennis Courts Facility located across the City Hall Campus. The City Hall Campus is
approximately 1.3 acres and the Tennis Courts Facility is approximately 1.2 acres estimating 2.5 acres in
total (Attachment 1). The City Hall Campus has three existing structures: City Hall, Rolling Hills Community
Association (RHCA) office and a shed housing a generator. The RHCA is a tenant of the City. The City is
responsible for the maintenance of the City Hall campus and the Tennis Courts Facility.
Between 2016 and 2019 the landscaping on the campus was poorly maintained due to broken sprinkler
pipes, nonworking valves and inadequate care. In early 2020, the City conducted necessary repairs,
including insect, and gopher treatments to restore a fully functioning irrigation system at the campus.
Current Day, 2021, even after repairs, the City seems to have continuous issues with gophers, broken
sprinkler pipes and maintenance of the overall campus.
With this project, the City aims to have a well-designed green space that comprises of both California native
plants and waterwise plants that are adapted to our climate. These should be planted and maintained to
meet WELO requirements and more importantly, meet fire fuel abatement standards and guidelines. The
City is located in a very high fire severity zone and designers must avoid high-hazard plants. In addition,
designers must also take into consideration CPTED principles when designing landscaped areas while also
providing adequate visual screening from the adjacent main road north of the subject site. Lastly, the City
will be using the City Hall Campus and Tennis Courts Facility to showcase water efficient plants and design
principles, so residents will know the proper landscape materials suitable for the zone and low maintenance
techniques.

The existing 7,000 square-foot tennis court will be removed, and the tennis court area will be converted
into the ADU and swimming pool/spa. The aforementioned requests fall within the purview of the
Director of Planning and Community Services; the applicant is not requesting any relief from the
Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
129
The applicant also proposes a total of 630 cubic yards of grading: 188 cubic yards for pool excavation
(exempt), 127 cubic yards of cut (non-exempt), and 254 cubic yards of fill (non-exempt) to expand the
existing building pad. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) requires a Site Plan Review for the
non-exempt grading.
DISCUSSION:
APPLICANT REQUEST
Site Plan Review
The total proposed grading for the project site is 630 cubic yards: 188 cubic yards (exempt) and 442
cubic yards (non-exempt).The 188 cubic yards of grading is for the proposed new swimming pool and
spa, which is exempt. The proposed project requires a discretionary approval for the non-exempt
grading for the driveway expansion, ADU foundation, swimming pool deck, and fill for the northeast
portion of the yard. The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Plan Review (SPR) for 442 cubic
yards of non-exempt grading.
The Code exempts excavation for pools and basements. The proposed 188 cubic yards of pool
excavation could be exported from the site without requesting relief from the Municipal Code.
However, the applicants are proposing to use 188 cubic yards of the excavated dirt from the swimming
pool and spa to fill the area around the pool deck and the front yard to expand the building pad, thus
requiring a Site Plan Review (SPR) approval. In addition, a SPR is required for the non-exempt grading
of 127 cubic yards of dirt that will be excavated from the west portion of the existing building pad. The
cut will be used as fill to level the areas around the proposed ADU, tennis court, east corner of the
building pad, and extension of the existing driveway. The 127 cubic yards will also be used to fill and
expand the northeast portion of the building pad. Maximizing the amount of fill on the subject property
complies with the goals of the General Plan to balance grading on site. Filling the slopes in the northeast
portion of the building pad will bring the finished grade to same level as the existing pad. The proposed
slopes will be contoured to blend into the sites natural terrain. The proposed grading will not impact site
drainage.
MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE
Coverage and Disturbance
The project complies with development standard requirements for lot coverage structures and flatwork
of 15.92% (35% maximum permitted) and building pad coverage of 21.9% (30% maximum permitted).
The disturbed area will increase by 4.7% for the expansion of the building pad and driveway totaling
33.6% (40% maximum permitted).
Grading
The total proposed grading is 630 cubic yards and 188 cubic yards of excavation is exempt for the
swimming pool/spa. Non-exempt grading requires a SPR. The proposed grading is necessary for the
development of the ADU and the widening of the driveway to meet Fire Code access requirements and
provide a designated parking space for the ADU. The Fire Code requires a 20-foot driveway to
accommodate the width and height of a fire truck and its equipment. The Fire Code also requires access
to the ADU. The proposed grading will require Building and Safety's approval for drainage.
Resident Concerns
130
On October 15, 2021, the resident at 9 Wideloop Road expressed concerns regarding two trees located
on the subject property. She stated the two trees should either be removed or trimmed.
The resident concerns have been addressed by the Applicant. He will be trimming all of the trees on the
property once the construction work commences.
Stable and Corral Set Aside
The applicant proposes to set aside 1,000 square feet for a future stable and corral located more than 35
feet west of the proposed ADU.
Environmental Review
The project has been determined to be categorically exempt (Class 3) pursuant to Section 15303 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The proposed project has been determined
not to have a significant effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions of
CEQA pursuant to Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts
minor alterations in the condition of land, including but not limited to grading on land with a slope of
less than 10 percent. The grading taking place on the property is on land with a slope of less than 10
percent.
17.46.050 - Required Site Plan Review findings.
1. The Commission shall be required to make findings in acting to approve, conditionally approve,
or deny a site plan review application.
2. No project which requires site plan review approval shall be approved by the Commission, or by
the City Council on appeal, unless the following findings can be made:
3. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and all
requirements of the zoning ordinance;
4. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing
building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount
of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable area of the lot;
5. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences;
6. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing
topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage
courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls);
7. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of
grading required to create the building area;
8. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow
is redirected into an existing drainage course;
9. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these
elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural
character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private
and public areas;
10. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians
and vehicles; and
11. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
12. If all of the above findings cannot be made with regard to the proposed project, or cannot be
made even with changes to the project through project conditions imposed by City staff and/or
the Planning Commission, the site plan review application shall be denied.
131

DIMENSIONS INDICATED ON PLANS FOR HORIZONTAL CONTROL ARE
ACCURATE IF MEASURED ON A LEVEL LINE NOT PARALLEL WITH
GROUND SLOPE.
COORDINATE PARTITION FRAMING WITH REQUIRED STRUCTURAL,
MECHANICAL, PLUMBING, AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPEMENT OR WORK.
"TYPICAL" OR "TYP" MEANS IDENTICAL FOR ALL SIMILAR
CONDITIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. "SIMILAR" OR "SIM"
MEANS COMPARABLE CHARACTERISTICS TO THE ELEVATION OR
DETAIL NOTED. VERIFY DIMENSIONS AND ORIENTATION OF THE
PLAN.

POOL SAEFTY:
SECTION 115925, WHEN A BUILDING PERMIT IS ISSUED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SWIMMING POOL OR SPA OR THE
REMODELING OF AN EXISTING SWIMMING POOL OR SPA AT A PRIVATE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, THE RESPECTIVE SWIMMING POOL
OR SPA SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH AT LEAST TWO OF THE FOLLOWING SEVEN DROWNING PREVENTION SAFETY FEATURES:
(1)AN ENCLOSURE THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 115923 AND ISOLATES THE SWIMMING POOL OR SPA FROM THE
PRIVATE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
(2)REMOVABLE MESH FENCING THAT MEETS AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS (ASTM) SPECIFICATIONS F2286
STANDARDS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A GATE THAT IS SELF-CLOSING AND SELF-LATCHING AND CAN ACCOMMODATE A KEY
LOCKABLE DEVICE.
(3)AN APPROVED SAFETY POOL COVER, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION (D) OF SECTION 115921.
(4)EXIT ALARMS ON THE PRIVATE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME’S DOORS THAT PROVIDE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE SWIMMING POOL OR SPA.

TREE PLANTING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. DRAINAGE
PREPARE THE HOLE A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR TO PLANTING. FILL
THE HOLE WITH 12" OF WATER. THE WATER SHALL DRAIN
OVERNIGHT. IF IT DOESN'T, YOU HAVE A DRAINAGE PROBLEM
WHICH NEED TO BE CORRECTED WITH A FRENCH DRAIN OR SOME
OTHER METHOD THAT TAKES EXCESS WATER DOWN AND AWAY
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ROOT BALL.
2. PLANTING
THE HOLE SHALL BE 2' WIDER THAN THE BOX SIZE AND THE SAME
DEPTH AS THE ROOT BALL. LEAVE THE BOTTOM FOR 48" BOX SIZES
AND LARGER FOR STABILITY AND SAFETY. VERIFY THE TOP OF THE
ROOT BALL IS EVEN OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE SURROUNDING
SOIL.
3. SOIL PIPES
48" BOX AND LARGER TREES SHALL HAVE FOR 4" PERFORATED PVC
PIPES INSTALLED ON ALL FOUR SIDES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ROOT
BALL. FILL 3 PIPES WITH GRAVEL FOR DEEP FEEDING AND
WATERING. USE THE FOURTH PIPE FOR CHECKING THE CONDITION
OF THE ROOT BALL (TOO MUCH WATER OR TOO DRY). CAP ALL
PIPES APPROXIMATELY 4" ABOVE SOIL LEVEL.
4. WATERING BERM OR BASIN
USE LEFT OVER SOIL MIX TO BUILD A SEVERAL-INCH-HIGH CIRCULAR
WATERING BERM AROUND THE ROOT BALL. MAKE SURE THE BERM
OR BASIN IS NO LARGER THAN THE ROOT BALL, OTHERWISE
WATERING MAY WET THE SOIL AROUND THE TREE, BUT NOT THE
ROOTBALL.
5. WATERING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP A NEWLY PLANTED TREE WATERED
DURING THE FIRST 12 TO 18 MONTHS. WATER AS OFTEN AS
NECESSARY TO KEEP THE ROOT BALL MOIST, BUT NOT SATURATED.
THIS MAY MEAN WATERING EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS AT FIRST, OR ONLY
ONCE A WEEK. HOW YOU WATER WILL DEPEND ON THE WEATHER,
HOW HOT OR DRY YOUR AREA IS AND YOUR SOIL TYPE. BE
ESPECIALLY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE TREES WATERED DURING SANTA
ANA WINDS.
6. FERTILIZING
THE TREE SHOULD BE FED IN MARCH, JUNE AND SEPTEMBER WITH A
SLOW RELEASE 20-5-5 FERTILIZER MIXED HALF-AND-HALF WITH
BLOODMEAL.

IMPORTANT TREE PLANTING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. DRAINAGE
PREPARE THE HOLE A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR
TO PLANTING. FILL THE HOLE WITH 12" OF WATER.
THE WATER SHOULD DRAIN OVERNIGHT. IF IT
DOESN'T, YOU HAVE A DRAINAGE PROBLEM
WHICH NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED WITH A
FRENCH DRAIN OR SOME OTHER METHOD THAT
TAKES EXCESS WATER DOWN AND AWAY FROM
THE BOTTOM OF THE ROOT BALL.
2. PLANTING
THE HOLE SHOULD BE 3X WIDER THAN THE ROOT
BALL SIZE AND THE SAME DEPTH AS THE ROOT
BALL. LEAVE THE BOTTOM FOR 48" BOX SIZES
AND LARGER FOR STABILITY AND SAFETY. BE
SURE THE TOP OF THE ROOT BALL IS EVEN OR
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE SURROUNDING SOIL.
3. SOIL PIPES
48" BOX AND LARGER TREES SHOULD HAVE FOR
4" PERFORATED PVC PIPES INSTALLED ON ALL
FOUR SIDES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ROOT BALL.
FILL 3 PIPES WITH GRAVEL FOR DEEP FEEDING
AND WATERING. USE THE FOURTH PIPE FOR
CHECKING THE CONDITION OF THE ROOT BALL
(TOO MUCH WATER OR TOO DRY). CAP ALL
PIPES APPROXIMATELY 4" ABOVE SOIL LEVEL.
4. WATERING BERM OR BASIN
USE LEFT OVER SOIL MIX TO BUILD A
SEVERAL-INCH-HIGH CIRCULAR WATERING BERM
AROUND THE ROOT BALL. MAKE SURE THE BERM
OR BASIN IS NO LARGER THAN THE ROOT BALL,
OTHERWISE WATERING MAY WET THE SOIL
AROUND THE TREE, BUT NOT THE ROOTBALL.
5. WATERING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP A NEWLY
PLANTED TREE WATERED DURING THE FIRST 12 TO
18 MONTHS. WATER AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY TO
KEEP THE ROOT BALL MOIST, BUT NOT
SATURATED. THIS MAY MEAN WATERING EVERY 2
TO 3 DAYS AT FIRST, OR ONLY ONCE A WEEK.
HOW YOU WATER WILL DEPEND ON THE
WEATHER, HOW HOT OR DRY YOUR AREA IS AND
YOUR SOIL TYPE. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL TO
KEEP THE TREES WATERED DURING SANTA ANA
WINDS.
6. FERTILIZING
THE TREE SHOULD BE FED IN MARCH, JUNE AND
SEPTEMBER WITH A SLOW-RELEASE 20-5-5
FERTILIZER MIXED HALF-AND-HALF WITH
BLOODMEAL.

1.01 AMOUNT OF WATER
A.The intent is to apply enough water at each irrigation cycle to wet the whole root zone and connect
with subsoil moisture. Continuous contact between upper and lower levels of moisture is necessary to avoid
formation of a dry layer of soil with roots that do not penetrate. The landscape contractor shall use an
auger and periodically check the soil structure, noting the irrigation cycle. Timing or cultivation will modify
this over time. The amount of water to apply at any one time depends upon how much moisture is
remaining at the start of irrigation, the water holding capacity of the soil (fine vs. coarse textured), and how
well the soil drains (how fast water moves downward). This can again be checked using various methods.
The amount to apply is theoretically the amount of water used by the plant and lost from the soil since the
last thorough irrigation.
B.What to irrigate: The intent is to irrigate only as frequently as water is needed rather than on a rigid
schedule. Note physical site characteristics for determining watering day. (susceptibility, to disease
becomes greater if a thatch or mat is present and it remains wet overnight.) The loss of water from one
irrigation to the next, to be replaced, will vary according to season and climatic conditions such as
temperature, humidity, wind and sunlight intensity. Therefore, the irrigation schedule should be reasonably
flexible. Ideally, water should be applied when about 50% of the available water has been depleted. This
may take about a week in warm weather or a medium loam soil. It is sound irrigation practice to wait
until temporary wilting occurs. Because deeper roots access more soil water, deeper rooted plants require
less-frequent irrigation, even if the total amount of water remains the same.
1.Appearance of plants is a practical indication of its need for water. The wilting point is indicated when
leaves are discoloring and folding up. At this point it is necessary to apply water immediately.
2.Examine the soil in the main root zone (top eight to twelve inches) to become familiar with moisture
conditions in relation to plant appearance just before (and one day after irrigating). This can be done by
using a soil sampling tube and apply the irrigation squeeze test. Check again immediately after irrigating for
depth of penetration. A soil probe or pointed steel rod can be pushed down easily in wet soil but not in dry
soil indicating the depth of water penetration.
3.Touch up watering may be necessary in between or just before a general irrigation to compensate for
poor water penetration in hard spots caused by soil compaction or soil textural differences.
C.Rate to apply irrigation: Generally apply water only as fast as the soil can absorb it to avoid run-off
and waste.
1.Sandy soil areas may take water at a rate exceeding one inch (1") per hour, while the intake rate of
clays, or of any type of soil on slopes, may be less than one-quarter inch (1/4") per hour.
2.A common error is to irrigate until the slowly permeable area is adequately wet, consequently
over-watering the other areas and wasting water. The permeability of the soil should be checked
periodically, adjusting control operation to avoid this situation.
D.Hand water as needed to supplement natural rainfall and maintain plantings in a healthy, stress-free
condition. It is the contractor's responsibility to make sure that plants receive adequate water regardless of
weather conditions.
E.It is the responsibility of the contractor to conserve water and assure that all watering rules and
regulations are followed. Any penalties, fines, or citations for watering ordinance violations shall be paid by
the contractor.
F.Irrigation shall be made by the use of the permanent irrigation systems. Hand
water as needed to supplement the permanent system. Failure of the irrigation
system to provide full and proper coverage shall not relieve the landscape
maintenance contractor of the responsibility to provide adequate irrigation. It is
the contractor's responsibility to make sure that the irrigation system is
maintained and operates properly.
G.Adjust watering times each week. Do not over water plantings. Drip systems
should be left on for sufficient time to allow for saturation of the root zone.
Shorter runs with drip irrigation do not provide sufficient water penetration for
healthy root development. Avoid multiple-start times with drip systems if
possible. Do not allow run-off from any irrigation.
H.When breakdowns or malfunctions exist, the contractor shall hand water, if
necessary, to maintain all plant material in a healthy condition. If the irrigation
repairs are major and will be billed as additional work, the labor costs for hand
watering may also be submitted for payment. Do not wait for approval to begin
hand watering if it is required to save the plantings.
1.02 IRRIGATION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A.Maintenance of the irrigation system is an ongoing process that involves
monitoring, adjustment, and repair. By instituting a maintenance program that
emphasizes monitoring and adjustment, you can minimize the third and most
costly factor: Repairs.
B.Several irrigation system maintenance activities are best done at regular, periodic
intervals; others require performance on an as-needed basis. These activities are
summarized as follows:
C.Weekly:
1.Briefly activate each control valve and observe for major leaking or
broken pipes and/or tubing.
2.Spot check emitters for proper coverage and operation. Immediately
repair or replace any emitters which may have become damaged or
clogged by debris.
3.Check for irrigation run-off and correct as necessary.
4.Flush system by opening up flush valve. If automatic flush is installed, verify that it is flushing at the start
of valve operation. If little water is flushed automatically, it is necessary to create a manual flush by opening
the lateral lines. This can be done by installing a PVC Ball Valve or a similar method.
5.Based on observed field conditions adjust programming of the automatic irrigation controllers. Adjust
water applications according to changes in the weather. Contractor shall be responsible for damage
resulting from either over-or under-watering.
6.Soil: As often as necessary the soil should be checked with an auger and evaluated with regard to the
operating duration and frequency. When the systems are fine tuned this practice should continue every
other week and evaluated making corrections as necessary and keeping all records of information.
7.Records: The Contractor shall establish a form to record water usage, weather data, soil data and
system operation for permanent recordation.
D.Monthly:
1.Perform a preventative maintenance review of all irrigation equipment, including strainers, controllers,
valves and emitters. It is imperative that the system be checked prior to the increased seasonal water needs
of spring and summer.
2.Maintain automatic controllers in accordance with manufacturer's directions, including periodic
inspection for loose wiring, accumulated debris, and deteriorating housings. Report any malfunctions or
needed repairs to Owner's Representative.
3.Maintain electric control valve "manual bleed" in a workable manner, making sure they are no more
than "finger tight" when in the closed position.
4.Flush Y strainers and verify proper pressure in the gauge attached to the strainer body.
E.Yearly:
1.Verify clean, secure connections for the hardwire communication cable for the central control
system. All splicing should be inspected for waterproof connections.
F.As Needed:
1.Expose emitters as necessary to achieve a visual inspection of operation.
2.Repair or replace at Contractor's expense and within one watering period, all equipment damaged
as a result of Contractor's activities or negligence.
3.During period of rainfall, change controller settings so as to temporarily prevent irrigation watering.
4.Maintain electric control valves free of debris and accumulated silt.
1.03 IRRIGATION SYSTEM REPAIR
A.The landscape maintenance contractor shall replace or repair, at the landscape maintenance
contractor's expense, any irrigation components damaged, unless due to excluded damage. Repair shall
be made within two weeks of the day the damage occurred. If the damage was due to excluded
damage, the irrigation repairs will be paid for as additional work. The contractor shall make notification
of needed repairs within two weeks of the day the damage. Regardless of the cause of damage, the
contractor shall take immediate action to prevent further damage by shutting off the damaged part of the
irrigation system and commencing with hand watering as needed. As soon as possible after receiving
written authorization to proceed, the contractor shall make repairs. The following items are considered to be
minor repairs: damaged or clogged emitters, adjustment emitter position, replacement of clogged, broken,
or missing barbedstyle drip emitters, replacement or repositioning of drip distribution tubing smaller than 1/2
inch or 15 mm diameter. These minor repair items shall be corrected by contractor at contractor's expense.
A.Any replacement of irrigation system components shall be made with materials of the same
manufacturer and model as the original equipment. Substitutions of materials other than original equipment
will be approved only when the original equipment has been discontinued and is no longer available for
purchase at any location. The substituted equipment must be completely compatible with the
original and must be approved in advance by the owner's authorized representative.
B.All repairs to the system shall be identical to the original installation, unless approved otherwise in
advance by the owner's authorized representative. If a change to the installation will result in lower future
maintenance costs, less frequent breakage, or an increase in public safety, request authorization to make
the change from the owner's authorized representative.
C.The contractor shall check the entire irrigation system weekly for items such as dry spots and missing or
malfunctioning irrigation components. Check for leaking valves, water running across sidewalks, water
standing in puddles, or any other condition which hampers the correct operation of the system or the public
safety. The contractor shall carefully observe plant materials for signs of wilting, indicating a lack of water.
Plants which die due to irrigation failure will be considered to have died due to the contractor's negligence
and shall be replaced at the contractor's expense.

a presentation on the provisions of SB 9. At the October 25, 2021 City Council meeting, the City
Attorney's office provided a draft ordinance to comply with the provisions of SB 9. The City Council
delayed the review and discussion of the draft ordinance to the November 8, 2021 City Council
meeting.
At the November 8, 2021 City Council meeting, the Council provided feedback on the draft ordinance
and directed the City Attorney to prepare another draft. The City Council also directed staff to present
the updated draft to the Planning Commission for review and adoption. Prior to the November 8, 2021
City Council meeting, the Planning Commission cancelled the November meeting. In the event that the
Planning Commission cannot review the updated draft ordinance, the City Council directed staff to
bring back the updated ordinance to the City Council at the November 22, 2021 meeting.
The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold the December meeting on December 7, 2021. The City
Council can direct staff to present the updated draft ordinance to the Planning Commission at the
December 7, 2021 for review and adoption and set a December City Council meeting to adopt an
urgency ordinance to meet the effective date of SB 9.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The analysis of SB 9 and the preparation of the draft ordinance are a part of the operation budget for
Fiscal Year 2021-2022.

easement moot, the property owner may request, and the city will provide,
a notice of termination of the easement, which the owner may record.
(9) Lot Access.
(A) Each resulting lot must adjoin the right of way.
(B) Each resulting lot must have frontage on the right of way of at least 12.5
feet.
(10) Unit Standards.
(A) Quantity. No more than two dwelling units of any kind may be built on a
lot that results from an urban lot split. For purposes of this paragraph,
“unit” means any dwelling unit, including, but not limited to, a primary
dwelling unit, a unit created under Chapter 17.45 of this code, an ADU, or
a JADU
(B) Unit Size.
(i) The total floor area of each primary dwelling that is developed on a
resulting lot must be
(I) less than or equal to 800 and
(II) more than 500 square feet.
(ii) A primary dwelling that was legally established prior to the urban
lot split and that is larger than 800 square feet is limited to the
lawful floor area at the time of the urban lot split. It may not be
expanded.
201
93939.00053\34475756.3
(iii) A primary dwelling that was legally established prior to the urban
lot split and that is smaller than 800 square feet may be expanded
to 800 square feet after the urban lot split.
(C) Height Restrictions.
(i) No new primary dwelling unit may exceed a single story or 16 feet
in height, measured from grade to peak of the structure.
(ii) No rooftop deck is permitted on any new or remodeled dwelling or
structure on a lot resulting from an urban lot split.
(D) Proximity to Stable and Corral Site. A primary dwelling unit is a
residential structure that shall be located a minimum of thirty-five feet
from any stable, corral, and related animal keeping uses and structures as
required in Chapter 17.18. This standard is only enforced to the extent that
it does not prevent two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet
each.
(E) Lot Coverage. All structures as defined in Section 17.16.070 on a lot shall
not cover more than twenty percent of the net lot area. All structures and
all other impervious surfaces as defined in Section 17.16.070 on a lot shall
not cover more than thirty-five percent of the net lot area. These lot
coverage standards are only enforced to the extent that they do not prevent
two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each.
(F) Open Space. No development pursuant to this Chapter may cause the total
percentage of open space of the lot fall below fifty percent. This open
space standard is only enforced to the extent that it does not prevent two
primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each.
(G) Setbacks.
(i) Generally. All setbacks must conform to those objective setbacks
that are imposed through the underlying zone.
(ii) Exceptions. Notwithstanding subpart (10)(G) above:
(I) Existing Structures. No setback is required for an existing
legally established structure or for a new structure that is
constructed in the same location and to the same
dimensions as an existing legally established structure.
(II) 800 sf; four-foot side and rear. The setbacks imposed by
the underlying zone must yield to the degree necessary to
avoid physically precluding the construction of up to two
units on the lot or either of the two units from being at least
800 square feet in floor area; but in no event may any
202
93939.00053\34475756.3
structure be less than four feet from a side or rear property
line.
(iii) Front Setback Area. Notwithstanding any other part of this code,
dwellings that are constructed after an urban lot split must be at
least 30 feet from the front property lines. The front setback areas
must:
(I) be kept free from all structures greater than three feet high;
(II) be at least 50 percent landscaped with drought-tolerant
plants, with vegetation and irrigation plans approved by a
licensed landscape architect;
(III) allow for vehicular and fire-safety access.
(H) Parking. Each new primary dwelling unit that is built on a lot after an
urban lot split must have at least one off-street parking space per unit
unless one of the following applies:
(i) The lot is located within one-half mile walking distance of either
(I) a corridor with fixed route bus service with service
intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute
hours or
(II) a site that contains
(ia) an existing rail or bus rapid transit station,
(ib) a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit
service, or
(ic) the intersection of two or more major bus routes
with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes
or less during the morning and afternoon peak
commute periods.
(ii) The site is located within one block of a car-share vehicle location.
(I) Architecture.
(i) Architecture is limited to white California ranch style homes with
three-rail fences.
(ii) If there is a legal primary dwelling on the lot that was established
before the urban lot split, any new primary dwelling unit must
match the existing primary dwelling unit in exterior materials,
203
93939.00053\34475756.3
color, and dominant roof pitch. The dominant roof slope is the
slope shared by the largest portion of the roof.
(iii) If there is no legal primary dwelling on the lot before the urban lot
split, and if two primary dwellings are developed on the lot, the
dwellings must match each other in exterior materials, color, and
dominant roof pitch. The dominant roof slope is the slope shared
by the largest portion of the roof.
(iv) All exterior lighting must be limited to down-lights.
(v) No window or door of a dwelling that is constructed on the lot
after the urban lot split may have a direct line of sight to an
adjoining residential property. Landscaping, or privacy glass may
be used to provide screening and prevent a direct line of sight.
(vi) If a dwelling is constructed on a lot after an urban lot split and any
portion of the dwelling is less than 30 feet from a property line that
is not a right-of-way line, then all windows and doors in that
portion must either be (for windows) clerestory with the bottom of
the glass at least six feet above the finished floor, or (for windows
and for doors) utilize frosted or obscure glass.
(J) Landscaping.

Approval is ministerial. Under state law, the City has no discretion in
approving or denying a particular project under this section. This notice
requirement is purely to promote neighborhood awareness and
expectation.
206
93939.00053\34475756.3
(15) Deed Restriction. The owner must record a deed restriction, on each lot that
results from the urban lot split, on a form approved by the city, that does each of
the following:

impact” on either public health and safety or on the physical environment and for
which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific
adverse impact.
(2) “Specific adverse impact” has the same meaning as in Gov. Code
§ 65589.5(d)(2): “a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact,
based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or
conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete” and
does not include (1) inconsistency with the zoning ordinance or general plan land
use designation or (2) the eligibility to claim a welfare exemption under Revenue
and Taxation Code section 214(g).
(3) The building official may consult with and be assisted by planning staff and
others as necessary in making a finding of specific, adverse impact.

(6) Unit Standards.
(A) Quantity.
(i) No more than two dwelling units of any kind may be built on a lot
that results from an urban lot split. For purposes of this paragraph,
“unit” means any dwelling unit, including, but not limited to, a

Subject: Environmental Planning Services for the General Plan Safety Element and the Housing Element
Dear Ms. Zuppiger,
For over 41 years Chambers Group’s focus has been helping private developers and public government agencies keep
their projects in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), and other environmental regulations related to natural and cultural resources. Having completed similar
projects for other General Plan Updates, including Housing Element Updates, our staff is well-versed with the special
intricacies involved with successful completion of these types of projects, as well as the importance of meeting approval
deadlines.
Experience with Programmatic Planning: Chambers Group’s Project Team has extensive experience in providing
Environmental Documentation and Regulatory Permitting services, demonstrating our capabilities with similar projects,
as well as with more complicated scopes and/or more complex regulatory processes, across the region. Some of our
recent experience has included the General Plan Updates for the City of Desert Hot Springs and City of Beaumont, the
Energy Element Update for the County of Imperial, and the Historic Town Center Master Plan Repeal for the City of San
Juan Capistrano. This project involved the intricate process of repealing the existing Historic Town Center Master Plan,
which included a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Code change. We will bring this expertise and value to this
Project with Victoria Boyd as Project Manager. Victoria has helped cities, including the City of Needles become
compliant with their Housing Element Updates after receiving a Notice of Non-Compliance from Housing and
Community Development (HCD).
Chambers Group and its team of professionals understands the City of Rolling Hill’s (City’s) need to get the Housing and
Safety Elements and CEQA document approved early in 2022 and we have therefore, focused this scope of work to
achieve the project’s goals in the timeliest and most cost-effective way, while ensuring the City will receive a quality
product that can stand up to agency and public scrutiny, including compliance with all regulatory items such as Senate
Bill 18 and Assembly Bill 52. We are prepared to accommodate scheduling demands under short notice. We can begin
immediately on this project following the City’s authorization.
Up to Date on the Most Current Regulations: The regulatory environment in California is ever evolving and our in-
house staff of environmental planners and technical experts are equipped with the most up to date regulatory guidance.
Our approach is always tailored to each individual project. We evaluate each project and its level of controversy early
on to be cost sensitive. As a majority of our planning staff are members of their respective Association of Environmental
Professionals (AEP) Boards of Directors, we stay apprised of current environmental issues and regulations, which helps
us to keep the City streamlined throughout the CEQA process.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at 949.261.5414 or Project Manager, Victoria Boyd at 760.685.4838
and vboyd@chambersgroupinc.com.
Sincerely,
CHAMBERS GROUP, INC.

Scope of Work
Project Understanding
The City of Rolling Hills is updating both the General Plan Housing and Safety Elements, and is requesting preparation
of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), in order to comply with CEQA for the adoption of the
updated elements. It is our understanding that the IS/MND will evaluate policies with no specific projects at this time,
however, depending on HCD’s ruling, changes to the City Zoning Map may need to be analyzed for compliance with the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. If finalized project information allows for additional technical
analysis to boost substantial information in the IS/MND (i.e. specific housing development locations are identified), this
can be provided to the City and an additional scope and cost will be prepared.
Housing Element Update
It is our understanding that the City is in the process of updating its 6th cycle Housing Element to cover the 2021-2029
planning cycle. The Housing Element will include the policies, strategies, and actions that the City will undertake to
facilitate the construction of new housing and preservation of existing housing to meet the needs of the current and
future population. Based on RHNA numbers, the City is required to plan for 45 homes, including 29 affordable to lower
income households. It is still unknown exactly how the City will meet its RHNA allocation.
Safety Element Update
It is our understanding that throughout history, the City has dealt with various natural hazards including earthquakes,
wildfires, droughts, and land movement. Developments in high landslide areas have occurred and the City has been
identified as being located in a “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ)”. As a result, the City has amended its
building and safety codes to include special requirements such as fire-rates materials for new construction.
Approach to the Scope of Work
Chambers Group will perform the applicable tasks identified in the Request for Proposal (RFP). Based on our experience
with similar types of Projects, we believe that the appropriate CEQA document for the Proposed Project would be a
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). Chambers Group will commence work on this Proposed Project as soon as we
receive written Notice to Proceed (NTP). We will accomplish the scope of work, which consolidates the tasks, as
described in the following scope.
Task 1: Project Initiation
Task 1.1: Initial Meeting and Data Acquisition
After receiving NTP, the Chambers Group Project Manager, Victoria Boyd, will be prepared to meet with the City, for a
Project Initiation/Kick-Off Meeting via teleconference to discuss the project description, specific project issues,
upcoming construction schedules and CEQA schedule; as well as receive any pertinent project information or reports.
Chambers Group will review all available Project-related data and reports provided by the City. Following the review of
existing data, any gaps in the data and recommendation for correcting the gaps would be discussed with the City.
Chambers Group will work closely with the City to determine what additional data must be collected in support of the
CEQA document being prepared. It is assumed that the documents are accurate, and that Chambers Group can use
these documents in the environmental analysis of the Project.
Task 1.2: Project Description
Chambers Group will develop a comprehensive description for the Project that will form the basis for the analysis of
the potential impacts on the environment, based on the information provided by the City. The Project Description will
228
Environmental Planning Services
City of Rolling Hills

63836
include a narrative and graphical presentation of the proposed Project, including components, location and boundaries,
regional and vicinity maps, and a statement of the Project goals and objectives.
Deliverables: Meeting notes from the initial meeting. A finalized Project schedule based on items discussed during the
initial meeting. One electronic portable document format (PDF) copy and one electronic copy in Microsoft Word format
of the Project Description for one round of review by the City.
Task 2: Preparation of the Appropriate CEQA Document and Supporting
Technical Studies
Task 2.1: Administrative Draft IS
Utilizing the Project Description completed under Task 1, Chambers Group will prepare an Administrative Draft IS
pursuant to the requirements of the Public Resources Code and State CEQA Guidelines. Based on the results of the IS,
Chambers Group will prepare an IS Checklist to confirm the preparation of an appropriate CEQA Documentation for the
Proposed Project, an MND in this case. The IS will be prepared using the most recent revision of the IS Environmental
Checklist Form suggested in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G.
In compliance with CEQA Section 15063, the IS will contain the following, in brief form:
A description of the Project, including the location of the Project;
An identification of the environmental setting;
A preliminary identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix, or other method, with some
evidence to support the entries; and
A preliminary discussion of the ways to mitigate the significant effects identified; if any.
The environmental factors outlined in the CEQA checklist include:
Aesthetics GHG Emissions Public Services
Agricultural and Forestry Resources Hazards and Hazardous Materials Recreation
Air Quality Hydrology and Water Quality Transportation
Biological Resources Land Use and Planning TCRs
Cultural Resources Mineral Resources Utilities and Service Systems
Energy Noise Wildfire
Geology and Soils Population and Housing Mandatory Findings of
Significance
Meetings: This task includes one meeting with City staff to discuss the IS and Chamber Group’s recommendation as to
the appropriate CEQA document for the Project.
Deliverables: One electronic PDF copy and one electronic copy in Microsoft Word format, and five bound copies of the
Administrative Draft IS for one round of review by the City.
Task 2.2: Prepare Administrative Draft MND
If one or more significant impacts are identified during the IS process, including the results from the technical studies,
CEQA allows the preparation of an MND when those impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
The following is a list of the required contents of an MND:
a brief description of the project;
the location of the project (preferably shown on a map);
229
Environmental Planning Services
City of Rolling Hills
4
63836
the name of the project proponent;
a finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment;
mitigation measures included in the project to avoid potentially significant effects; and
a copy of the IS.
For each CEQA environmental checklist discipline item, the existing environmental setting of the project site and
surroundings will be characterized from the existing literature base and a site visit by an environmental analyst. An
environmental impacts analysis will be prepared for each checklist entry. Based on CEQA defined significance criteria,
Chambers Group will determine the potential for any adverse or significant adverse impacts and present mitigation
measures to reduce any such impacts to a level below significance.
Meetings: This task includes participation in up to four check in meetings with City staff to discuss the administrative
draft MND.
Deliverables: One electronic PDF copy and one electronic copy in Microsoft Word format, one unbound copy, five
bound copies, and 15 compact discs (CDs) of the Administrative Draft MND for one round of review by the City.
Task 3: Tribal Consultation
Task 3.1: Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) Native American Consultation
Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) was signed into law in 2004 and requires City and County governments to consult with California
Native American tribes early in the planning process of general plans, specific plans, and amendments to either of these
types of planning tools. The intent of the bill was to provide structured and consistent methods for providing Native
American tribes an opportunity to participate in local land use decisions at an early planning stage. Early involvement
of the tribes is intended to allow for consideration of cultural places in the land-use planning process. Tribes have 90
days to respond to an SB 18 consultation request. The nature of SB 18 consultation is to ask local tribes to inform an
agency where significant cultural areas are located with the intent of protecting them. This type of information is highly
confidential to the tribes and their willingness to divulge important data is directly correlated with the relationship the
tribe has with the respective City or County. This relationship value also extends to the cultural resources team assisting
with the consultation effort. Chambers Group has been working with southern California tribal groups for many years,
and has developed positive working relationships with the various tribal groups throughout the area.
Our recommended scope of work includes requesting a search of the sacred lands files at the Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC), preparing notification letters for the City, and keeping detailed information on responses and
follow up questions for the tribe. This data will be provided to the City in the form of a Tribal Consultation Memo which
will be submitted after the 90-day response window ends. Based on experience working with the City, we anticipate
that the NAHC will return a list of contacts with approximately 25 tribal points of contact. Chambers Group will prepare
up to 25 SB 18 letters with the expectation that up to three respondents will request conferencing with the City.
Chambers Group anticipates the need for setting up to three separate conference calls with tribes, and coordinating
the conclusion of consultation through emails. Should any Tribes request a site visit it is assumed that the City will cover
this expense and provide the tribe(s) an opportunity to visit the site at their expense. Should the City require further
support to meet with the Tribes, or require further calls to conclude consultation, a contract augment may be required.
Task 3.2: Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) Tribal Consultation
Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) required an update to Appendix G to include a new category titled “Tribal Cultural Resources”
(TRCs). As a Lead Agency the City is required to conduct AB 52 consultation with requesting tribal groups on a
government-to-government basis. In support of the City, Chambers Group will prepare and send notification letters to
the list of tribes in which the City has identified for notification under AB 52. If a tribal group affirms a request for
consultation the lead agency is required to initiate consultation within 30 days of the request. The intent of this
legislation is to require agencies to consult early on in a project with Native American Tribes so their information can
230
Environmental Planning Services
City of Rolling Hills
5
63836
be considered from the beginning of an agency’s CEQA review. It differs from SB 18 in that AB 52 consultation is required
for all projects requiring a CEQA Initial Study rather than projects requiring just specific or general plans, or their
amendments. Chambers Group has proven success in consulting with tribes to determine if there are TCRs on-site and
coordinating with tribes and lead agencies to develop mitigation measures (when needed) to ensure the project
objectives are in accordance with CEQA. Due to the similarities between AB 52 and SB 18 notification processes,
efficiencies can be found in preparing combined consultation letters should agency procedures allow. Chambers Group
will prepare up to 20 AB 52 letters with the expectation that up to three respondents will request conferencing with
the City. Chambers Group anticipates setting up to three separate conference calls with tribes, and coordinating the
conclusion of consultation through emails. As it cannot be assured that the same three tribes will request consultation
under SB 18 and AB 52, Chambers Group assumes that a combined total of six respondents will request consultation
under one or the other legal structures. Should any Tribes request a site visit it is assumed that the City will cover this
expense and provide the tribe(s) an opportunity to visit the site at their expense. Should the City require further support
to meet with the Tribes, or require further calls to conclude consultation, a contract augment may be required.
Assumptions:
This proposal includes a request of the NAHC to provide a list of points of contact to request information
regarding the proposed Project area under SB 18. The number of contacts assumed in this scope of work is 25
recipients. Additional addressees may require substantial additional time to coordinate, and may require
additional fees.
This proposal includes SB 18 consultation support with requesting tribal groups, and includes time for meeting
with City Staff and tribal members in an online forum for up to three respondents. Additional respondents may
require substantial additional time to coordinate, and may require additional fees.
This proposal assumes the City will provide a list of points of contact to request information regarding the
proposed Project area under AB 52. The number of contacts assumed in this scope of work is 20 recipients.
Additional addressees may require substantial additional time to coordinate, and may require additional fees.
This proposal includes AB 52 consultation support with requesting tribal groups, and includes time for meeting
with City Staff and tribal members in an online forum for up to three respondents. Additional respondents may
require substantial additional time to coordinate, and may require additional fees.
The City will provide Chambers Group with confirmation on the Project footprint at the time of authorization or
NTP. It is assumed that this information will not change once Chambers Group has initiated the tasks above.
This proposal does not include cultural resources testing, data recovery, analysis, monitoring, or similar
programs.
Task 4: Draft Appropriate CEQA Document and Corresponding Notices
After receipt of one set of integrated comments on the Administrative Draft MND from the City, Chambers Group will
then revise the MND accordingly. Chambers Group will prepare and distribute copies of the Draft MND to the City,
State Clearinghouse, County Clerk, and affected public agencies.
For submittal to the State Clearinghouse (Office of Planning and Research [OPR]), Chambers Group will draft a Notice
of Intent (NOI), Notice of Completion (NOC), Summary Form, and the MND with associated appendices. Chambers
Group can submit these electronically on behalf of the City. The City must approve Chambers Group as a submitter on
the OPR CEQANet Web portal. For submittal to the County Clerk, documents will be sent via mail pending the status of
public access to County buildings. Chambers Group will prepare the NOI for distribution during the public review to
agencies, interested parties, and property owners (if applicable) adjacent to the Project from an approved distribution
list confirmed by the City. We assume that the City will provide the list of adjacent property owners to be included in
the mailings. We assume up to no more than 40 mailings of the NOI via regular mail to adjacent property owners,
agencies, and other interested parties. To comply with the CEQA guidelines, the City must distribute the NOI through
at least one of the following methods:
231
Environmental Planning Services
City of Rolling Hills
6
63836
Publication at least one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the Project.
Posting of the notice on and off-site in the area where the project is located.
Direct mailing to the owners and occupants of property contiguous to the project.
Fees associated with coordinating and publishing to public newspapers, websites, or posting of a physical notice at the
Project will require a change order as these tasks are not included in this scope and associated fees for newspaper
postings vary.
Note: AB 52 Tribal Consultation must begin prior to public review.
Deliverables: An electronic PDF copy, one unbound copy, five bound copies, and 15 CDs of the MND with appendices
for the City. One electronic copy of the NOC, NOI, and Summary Form for OPR submittal. One NOI to be filed with the
County Clerk. Up to 40 NOIs to be sent via regular mail.
Task 5: Responses to Comments and Final CEQA Document
Based upon comments received from public review, responses to the comments will be prepared. A draft of these
responses will be provided to the City for review. It is assumed that Chambers Group will coordinate with City to address
public comments received and comments will be addressed based on available data. We anticipate no more than 15
comment letters with an average of five comments each (75 comments total) will be received and addressed. The cost
estimate for this task is based on the assumption that no new technical analysis will be required in response to the
public comments. If more comments than assumed are received or additional analysis will be required to respond to
comments, Chambers Group will coordinate with the City to identify comments to be addressed by the Chambers Group
team and/or provide these services under a separate scope and fee.
Upon receipt of one complete set of comments from the City on the responses, a Final MND will be prepared. This
document combined with the Draft MND will constitute the Final MND to be used by the City when considering approval
of the project.
Deliverables: One electronic Microsoft Word copy of the Draft Response to Comments for one round of review by the
City. One electronic PDF copy, one unbound, five bound and five CDs with copies of the Final MND with appendices for
the City.
Task 6: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (if required)
Following preparation of the MND, Chambers Group will prepare a Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP) as required by CEQA for review by the City. The Final MMRP incorporating the City’s comments will be
incorporated into the Final MND.
Deliverables: One electronic PDF copy and one Microsoft Word copy of the Draft MMRP for one round of review by the
City. The Final MMRP will be incorporated into Final MND.
Task 7: Findings and Filings
Notice of Determination (NOD)
The NOD is filed following the City’s decision to carry out or approve the project for which the MND has been prepared.
Chambers Group will prepare the NOD and will file the NOD with the State Clearinghouse and the County Clerk.
Deliverables: One Microsoft Word copy of the Draft NOD for one round of review by the City. An electronic PDF copy
of the NOD for the City. One NOD to be filed with the State Clearinghouse and one with the County Clerk. Up to 40
NODs to be sent via regular mail.
232

63836
No Effect Determination
Pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 711.4, subdivision (c)(1), all project proponents including public agencies
subject to CEQA shall pay a filing fee for each project. The filing fee is waived, however, if the project will have no effect
on fish and wildlife. If no effect is determined, a No Effect Determination (NED) Request form is submitted to the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
Chambers Group recommends early communication with CDFW during the CEQA process. Chambers Group has assisted
Clients, who believed that their projects would have no effect on fish and wildlife, with contacting CDFW early in the
CEQA process in order to allow CDFW sufficient time to review the project and make a determination (usually 30 days).
The State Clearinghouse or County Clerk will not accept a NOD filed by any lead agency unless it is accompanied by one
of the following: (1) a check with the correct Fish and Wildlife filing fee payment, (2) a receipt or other proof of payment
showing previous payment of the filing fee for the same project, or (3) a form documenting the determination that the
project will have no effect on fish and wildlife. Chambers Group will assist the City in preparing and submitting the NED
form to CDFW for the Proposed Project. If the Project is determined to not qualify for a NED, the City will be responsible
for Fish and Game filing fees.
Deliverables: One Microsoft Word copy of the Draft NED for one round of review by the City. One electronic PDF copy
of the NED Request and one electronic PDF copy of the Draft MND with appendices.
Task 8: Attendance at Public Hearings
Chambers Group’s Technical Advisor, Corinne Lytle Bonine and Project Manager, Victoria Boyd will attend one Planning
Commission hearing and one City Council hearing to answer any questions that decision makers have on the Proposed
Project’s environmental document and impacts analysis. If needed, technical staff may also join in attendance at
hearings at an additional cost. This scope assumes that hearings would be no longer than three hours each. Chambers
Group may also attend any other additional meetings requested by the City on a time and materials basis.
Task 9: Analyze Specific Projects/Zoning Map Changes for Housing Sites
(Optional Task)
It is understood that the City may have a need for Chambers Group to analyze specific projects and / or zoning map
changes for housing sites, depending on HCD’s ruling. However, depending on project type and location, the scope and
cost can vary greatly. Therefore, we have provided a range of additional cost analysis that may be required if specific
details are provided.
Service Approximate Cost*
Additional Analysis in IS/MND $2,000 - $6,000
Air Quality / Greenhouse Gas / Energy Analysis / Noise $4,000 - $10,000
Biological Survey and Technical Memorandum $5,000 - $15,000
Cultural Report $5,000 - $20,000
Traffic Study (VMT Only or LOS Only) $20,000 - $50,000
*Actual costs will depend on the project features, level of analysis required, required meetings and public hearings, and level
of agency coordination required.

Project Schedule
The following schedule is outlined with the assumption that the anticipated services will begin November 8, 2021. The
schedule assumes that the Final Housing Element and Safety Plan updates are submitted no later than November 12,
2021 and that the Tribal Consultation list is provided during the kick-off call. Additionally, the Project is required to
comply with SB 18, which has a 90-day consultation request period unless Tribes agree to a shorter timeframe. We
understand the City’s tight schedule to get this approved in January, however, given the City’s obligation to SB 18, the
earliest possible approval date would be in early February. Therefore, we have provided the tightest timeframe possible
for Project approval. This schedule also assumes that the City can meet these review deadlines, that minimal feedback
will be provided, and that excessive comments (more than 75 comments) are not received on the Draft MND.

Project Team
Team Introduction
Chambers Group is known for providing technically proficient experts who are responsive and communicative with our
clients. Chambers Group has built this reputation on decades of experience preparing appropriate CEQA and NEPA
documents for complex projects; preparing required resource agency permit applications, preparing mitigation plans;
and monitoring construction activities for compliance.
Conducting environmental analyses and documentation for development projects, including complex and sensitive
projects, is Chambers Group’s specialty. We are experienced in preparing appropriate CEQA documents and technical
studies. Chambers Group’s staff has ongoing relationships with many State and local agencies, and the firm maintains
an understanding evolving environmental legislation and meeting the stringent requirements of federal, State, and local
regulatory agencies. Our team of technical experts will provide scientific objectivity, environmental expertise,
defensible environmental analysis, and technical documentation to support the City in meeting its augmentation of
staff in the review and approval process of development project goals.
Chambers Group’s environmental planners in association with other members of our team have decades of experience
providing CEQA compliance services on privately initiated development such as residential development, commercial
development, mixed use development, energy and communications and also agency-sponsored projects such as
transportation upgrades and improvements, parks, stormwater, and municipal planning projects. Our team combines
our experience with proven management techniques that focus on flexibility, responsiveness, and accountability.
Many of our planners currently serve on their respective Chapter of the Association of Environmental Professionals
(AEP) Board which allows our planning team to stay informed of the rapidly changing regulatory environment. Several
staff members hold positions on the AEP Board of Directors. This gives our team immediate access to the AEP Legislative
Committee which closely tracks and responds to pending legislation. We use this access and knowledge to help our
clients stay ahead of upcoming changes and hot buttons as we navigate the CEQA process.
Chambers Group realizes that the complex processes necessary to produce legally defensible environmental
documentation cannot be accomplished without a close relationship with City staff, and an in-depth understanding of
the project details and characteristics of the local environment. We work seamlessly with project Applicants and City
staff to meet schedules, work within budget, and produce environmental documentation that is thorough and
complete. Our team offers experience from being on both sides of the counter.
Our Project Managers are supported by a staff of regulatory specialists, environmental planners, biologists, botanists,
cultural resource specialists, and restoration specialists, which allows us to mobilize in multiple locations
simultaneously, ensuring projects always have the right mix of knowledgeable, responsive staff to enable our clients to
successfully accomplish their missions. As leaders in the environmental industry, our team will apply comprehensive
understanding of the latest regulatory guidance to all issue areas to ensure the most advanced technical approach is
applied to every aspect of any project.

Relevant Experience
General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Addendum, Desert Hot Springs, CA
Client: City of Desert Hot Springs
Chambers Group assisted the City of Desert Hot Springs (City) in preparing an
Addendum to the City’s General Plan Update (Project). The City prepared and
adopted the General Plan Update (GPU) in May 2020. The City proposed a zone
change for four parcels, two were developed and two were vacant. The land use and
zone change would allow expanded development for commercial uses for the vacant
parcels, and updated the zoning of the two developed parcels to be consistent with existing uses. Chambers Group
reviewed the GPU’s Environmental Impact Report to determine if the Project met the criteria set forth in Section 15162
of the CEQA Guidelines which requires the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental Environmental Impact Report
(EIR). In addition to the Addendum preparation, the Project included the preparation of an Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas
and Noise to supplement their analysis.
General Plan Update, Environmental Impact Report, Peer Review, and AB 52/SB 18
Consultation, Beaumont, CA
Client: City of Beaumont
Chambers Group contributed to the preparation of all 20 resource areas of the City
of Beaumont’s (City) Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan Update 2040
(GPU EIR). This included the Executive Summary, Introduction, Project Description,
Environmental Impact Analysis, Consistency with Regional Plans, Alternatives, and
other CEQA Considerations sections. The EIR included a discussion of the City’s
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) fair share of regional housing needs. The RHNA was a mandated State
Housing law that is part of periodic process of updating the housing elements of the General Plan. On behalf of the City,
Chambers Group reviewed and edited the GPU EIR to ensure it would meet all of the requirements of as outlined in the
California Environmental Quality Act’s (CEQA) guidelines, Section 15166, for preparing an EIR for a general plan.
Chambers Group also assisted the City in conducting Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) consultation,
which requires public agencies to consult with Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated to
a project area or geographic area of jurisdiction. Following consultation, Chambers Group successfully completed an
expedited reviewed all sections of the EIR within the requested timeframe which allowed the document to be circulated
for public review and be approved by City Council within the year.
Geothermal & Alternative Energy Element, Imperial, CA
Client: County of Imperial, CA
Chambers Group updated the Geothermal/Alternative Energy and Transmission
Element that the County previously authored in 2006. The updated Geothermal and
Alternative Energy Element was based on the constraints and opportunities
identified in an environmental baseline analysis covering the entire County, which
was completed as the first phase of the update. Information was obtained in GIS
format from a variety of local, State, and federal agencies and mapped for use in
determining the most suitable locations within the County for the generation and
transmission of energy from renewable resources.
Key issues included eliminating potential conflicts between the various renewable energy generation technologies and
existing urban and community developed areas, protection of high-quality park and recreation areas, and conservation
of sensitive cultural and biological resources. The task also included any required revisions to other General Plan
Elements to assure internal consistency. The Element update also included a consistency analysis with the Land Use,
Agricultural, Conservation and Open Space, Water, and the Seismic and Public Safety Elements. In addition, special

attention was given to potential conflicts with adopted or proposed Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP)
and Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) programs.
A Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) was prepared to accommodate the implementation of future
renewable energy projects that are in conformance with the Element. Individual future energy generation projects will
be able to tier from the PEIR in a manner that will encourage the project to be located in suitable areas and will expedite
approval for appropriately sited projects.
Historic Town Center Master Plan Repeal, San Juan Capistrano, CA
Client: City of San Juan Capistrano
The City of San Juan Capistrano proposed to repeal the existing Historic Town Center
Master Plan (HTCMP), amend the City’s General Plan, and amend the City’s Zoning
Code. The purpose of the Project is to correct land use inconsistencies between the
HTCMP and the General Plan, replace the “form-based code” (FBC) currently
applicable to the City’s Historic Town Center (HTC) area by amending the Zoning Code
and General Plan Land Use Element, and to clarify setbacks, building heights, and
allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) within the HTC area.
Chambers Group prepared all environmental documents to satisfy CEQA, which included an EIR and associated
technical studies including air quality analysis, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis, historic resources assessment,
and traffic impact analysis. The project was controversial in nature, so Chambers Group worked closely with both the
City and their legal counsel in order to produce a Draft EIR and Final EIR that responded to all comments received.
Chambers Group also participated in Planning Commission and City Council meetings to answer questions from
Commissioners and Council Members regarding the environmental analysis.

SUBJECT:FIRE FUEL COMMITTEE REPORT OUT ON NOVEMBER 10 AND
NOVEMBER 17, 2021 COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND DISCUSS
PROHIBITING FUTURE PLANTING OF HIGH HAZARD PLANTS, AS
LISTED IN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT READY!
SET! GO! BROCHURE. (BLACK & MIRSCH)
DATE:November 22, 2021
BACKGROUND:
The Fire Fuel Committee conducted two meetings on November 10, 2021 and November 17, 2021. The
Fire Fuel Committee discussed the hiring of experts for assistance to develop the ordinance, the
possibility of prohibiting high hazard plants, the next communal bin event, limiting the timeframe of
public comments, and the draft vegetation ordinance for canyon management and fire fuel abatement.
Overall, the community addressed concerns of property regulations rather than addressing issues in the
canyons because up to 500 feet may not stretch into the canyon on all properties.
To date, the Fire Fuel Committee provided eight reports to City Council on committee meetings and the
Council has provided feedback on how to best move forward. Through this feedback the Committee and
Staff began working with legal counsel, looking into hiring professional experts and met with the
Sheriff ’s department and Los Angeles Fire Department to strategically and legally draft an ordinance
that would best fit the City’s need to mitigate fire fuel in the canyons through the ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The committee wanted to bring the discussion of prohibiting newly planted high hazard plants on
development projects to the Council. The Committee suggested that the six high hazard plants listed in
the Ready! Set! Go! Brochure and in the staff report at the November 10th meeting be listed and the
other secondary species from the brochure be added. Those high hazard plants and secondary species
are as follows:
1. Pine
2. Pampas Grass
3. Palm
4. Juniper
260
5. Acacia (Shrub)
6. Eucalyptus
7. Cedar
8. Cypress
9. Italian Cypress
Vine and Climbing plants normally within 30 feet of the structure such as: Bougainvillea & Wisteria
are also listed in the Brochure.
The Committee received and filed the next communal event to be planned starting on January 24, 2022-
January 28, 2022 with a recommendation to staff about soliciting community input on placement of the
bins. Republic Services is willing to extend the date to January 31st if needed. The Committee also
decided not to place a limitation on the amount of time given for public comment.
Lastly, the Committee discussed the Vegetation Ordinance for Canyon Management and Wildfire
Mitigation detailing the provisions and 2 hours of public comment and testimony from the community
was provided. The Committee did not have the appropriate time from the November 10th meeting to the
November 17th meeting to make amendments to the draft based upon feedback given from the Fire
Department but plans to deliberate on the draft ordinance at the next meeting. The next Fire Fuel
Committee meeting is scheduled for December 15, 2021 at 6:30pm.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Committee's report and discuss prohibiting the planting of high hazard plants.

SUBJECT:
RECEIVE AND FILE A REPORT ON THE HIRING OF FIRE EXPERTS
TO ASSIST WITH REVIEW OF NEW VEGETATION ORDINANCE AND
EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY OF VEGETATION ABATEMENT IN THE
CANYONS
DATE:November 10, 2021
BACKGROUND:
During the previous Fire Fuel Committee meeting on September 29, 2021 City staff was given direction
to reach out to consultants that could provide site visits to residents home to provide education &
awareness to residents on fire fuel abatement 200' and beyond from their structure and in their canyons.
The Committee also wanted an expert that could assist in providing guidance on the verbiage for the
new fire fuel abatement ordinance and the possibility of training our code enforcement officer so the
city could internally identify distinction of a qualified "nuisance".
DISCUSSION:
City staff has reached out to multiple consultants who are well versed in vegetation management, fire
science, and forestry. Three organizations/consultants are interested in working with the city to meet the
city's needs and have provided cost estimates. Wildfire Planning international was willing to provide
services to assist in the written portion of the ordinance. Firewise 2000 was willing to assist us in all
three endeavors and provided a short business resume of services attached to this report. They contain
several individuals who are not just experts in fire but also CEQA standards & regulations, certified
arborists, engineers, previous firefighters and foresters. Lastly, Wildland Resource Management (Carol
Rice) and retired forester Jay Lopez are interested in providing assistance in development of the
ordinance and creating a sustainable home evaluation program for management in the canyons.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Wildfire Planning International:
$10,000-$30,000

Business Resume
Scope of Work
FIREWISE 2000, LLC specializes in the development of professional wildfire risk assessments,
Fire Protection Plans, and Fuel Modification Plans for residential and commercial developments,
individual homeowners, and public land management agencies. The professional expertise we
provide for designing commercial or residential developments to withstand the threat from a
wildland fire in high fire hazard areas throughout California. We have been involved in a wide
range of projects from single family dwellings to large sub-divisions. We also provide expertise
to develop fire management plans for HOAs, private campgrounds and federal/state agencies.
In a Fire Protection Plan, we assess the environmental factors as well structural design of the
buildings to ensure fire code compliance. Our extensive understanding of wildland vegetation and
fire behavior on the landscape, allows us to provide a professional assessment to reduce the risk
of wildland fire to protect property and ensure public safety. The purpose of the FPP is to provide
hazardous fuel treatment and construction feature direction for developers, architects, builders,
county officials, and individual homeowners to use in making the homes relatively safe from future
wildfires.
All FIREWISE 2000 reports take into account the most recent laws and regulations while being
sensitive to open space restrictions, environmental rules, and habitat preservation. The goal is to
create an action plan that both satisfies the above restrictions while at the same time protecting
and/or minimizing damage from destructive wildfires.
Our Fire Protection Plan assessments include analysis of the following:
Fire history of the project area
Fuel modeling to determine the projected fire behavior for the surrounding area.
California Fire and Building Code, and local ordinance compliance as it relates to fire
apparatus access, water supply, fuel modification, defensible space, ignition-resistant
construction and evacuation plans to ensure public and firefighter safety.
When necessary develop mitigation measures accepted by local fire authority for code
non-compliance to provide the same practical effect to keep the development safe from
wildfire.
Review Landscape Plans for compliance with City or County requirements.
Establishes both short and long-term fuel modification actions to minimize projected fire
hazard and risk and assigns annual maintenance responsibilities for each of the
recommended fuel modification actions.
FIREWISE 2000 specialists also conduct on site condition surveys for HOA’s and older
developments. These surveys result in reports that outline short term and long-term maintenance
goals, fuel modification requirements, and priorities for renovation, maintenance and/or re-
5266
vegetation of common areas and homes bordering wildland vegetation. The report may also
include wildfire risk assessments for existing homes and outline recommendations to minimize
future hazards including landscaping recommendations and proposed CCR language.

Dear Mr. Ball:
Thank you for this opportunity to submit a proposal for services that advance the
wildland fire safety of the City of Rolling Hills. I appreciate the background provided
from our virtual meetings and telephone conversations that builds a foundation of this
proposal.
The services will focus on two different types of activities. The first is to guide code
and ordinance development, primarily to assist the determination of what constitutes a
nuisance. Tasks would include the description of a nuisance in terms of fuel volume,
or arrangement of type (include possibly plant species). For this activity we propose
an arrangement based on responding to the questions of the city and offering
clarification and guidance. The need for clarification regarding CEQA can also be
anticipated. Because of the uncertainty involved in this activity, an arrangement based
on time and materials (with a set not-to-exceed ceiling of $7,500) makes the most
sense.
The second activity would be to offer consultations regarding canyon management.
The overall goals would be to (1) provide guidance to the community about best
practices and CEQA, (2) conduct canyon evaluations, and (3) train staff regarding how
to evaluate the compliance and fuel management of canyons. Based on the tasks
associated with site visits, meetings, and consultation, we estimate a cost of $14,430,
We would be pleased to expand the description of services and deliverables in
following discussions.
These services would be provided by Carol Rice, with Wildland Res Mgt and J. Lopez, Los Angeles
County Fire Department (retired). Both have been working in the wildland urban interface for
decades, and are familiar with the environs and community of the City of Rolling Hills. Both J. and
Carol are both natural resource managers and wildland fire managers. Our combined experience
enables our ability to offer recommendations that minimize wildland fire hazards and environmental
impacts.
The initial work can begin in as soon as agreements are reached.
On the following pages please find a description of services and costs estimated for each task.
Please let me know if adjustments should be made so that we can better support the City of
Rolling Hills.
Sincerely,
Carol L. Rice

SUBJECT:
RECEIVE AND FILE A STATUS REPORT ON DEVELOPMENT OF A
NEW VEGETATION ORDINANCE FOR FUEL ABATEMENT IN THE
CANYONS.
DATE:November 10, 2021
BACKGROUND:
At the 4th Fire Fuel Committee meeting on June 16, 2021 the Committee discussed programs/projects
that would encourage fuel abatement in the canyons. During these discussions the Committee
constructed an idea to not only help residents with fuel abatement on their properties and their canyons
but also more accountability on completing the abatement. The idea was constructed with the following
intentions:
1. Communicate with residents and educate residents on the importance of fire fuel reduction in the
canyons to reduce wildfire risks.
2. Designate an area for abatement action using the Fire Departments' priority list.
3. Notify all residents within the designated area that they need to perform fire fuel abatement by a
certain date.
4. Property owners within the designated area can (a) perform the abatement work on their own, (b)
perform the abatement work with the assistance of the city and render payment upon completion, or (c)
do nothing.
5. If property owners elect to do nothing, or fail to authorize the city to work on their property, or fail to
remit payment due for remediation work, or does not perform the work on their own by a specified date,
the properties would be declared a nuisance and go through the nuisance abatement process.
DISCUSSION:
Since then City Staff and Council-member Mirsch have met with legal counsel in an attempt to
construct the proper standards, requirements, and procedures to create the ordinance. City staff has
reached out to several consultants to assist with the review, and if adopted by the City Council, the
implementation of the ordinance. The expert services would also include awareness and educational
campaigns on the procedures to properly manage vegetation in the canyons.

2 LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT
MESSAGE FROM FIRE CHIEF DARYL L. OSBY
Dear Residents,
Los Angeles County is one of the most beautiful places to live, but for those living
in “wildland urban interface areas,” it does not come without risks. With a year-
round fire season and ever-growing number of wildfires, firefighters and residents
alike are now constantly on heightened alert for the threat of wildfires.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department, along with our partnering agencies,
stand ready to quickly respond to contain wildfires, utilizing our firefighting
resources from the air and ground to help protect you and your property
from wildfire.
But, we can’t do this without your cooperation. Preparation and prevention go hand-in-hand. This
Ready! Set! Go! brochure was designed to provide you with critical information on creating defensible
space around your home, retrofitting your home with fire-resistant materials, and preparing you to
safely evacuate well ahead of a wildfire. Please protect yourself, your family, and your property from a
devastating wildfire by taking the time to learn about Ready! Set! Go!
In Los Angeles County, wildfires will continue to be fueled by a build-up of seasonal dry vegetation and
driven by dry conditions and locally strong winds, making them extremely dangerous and challenging for
firefighters to control. Yet, many homeowners don’t consider how a wildfire could affect them, and very
few residents have properly prepared for evacuation until it is too late.
You play the most important role in protecting yourself, family, and property. Through planning and
preparation, we can all be ready for the next wildfire. I hope you find the information in this brochure
helpful as you prepare your home and family for a wildfire.
As always, if you need additional information about preparing for a wildfire or any other natural disaster,
please contact your nearest fire station or visit us at fire.lacounty.gov.

Zone 2
Extends from the outer edge of
Zone 1 to 100 feet from the structure
• Cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height
of three inches.
• Create vertical and horizontal spacing between trees
and shrubs (the distance between trees should be
three times the height).
• Remove fallen leaves, needles, twigs, bark, cones, and
small branches. However, a mulch layer may be permitted
to a depth of four inches, if erosion control is an issue.
• Irrigation is recommended to maintain vegetation
moisture content.

Zone 1
Extends 30 feet out from the structure
• Remove all dead or dying vegetation.
• Remove dead or dry leaves and pine needles from your
yard, roof, and rain gutters.
• Trim trees regularly to keep branches a minimum of
10 feet from other trees.
• Remove dead branches hanging over your roof. And,
keep branches 10 feet away from your chimney.
• Relocate exposed woodpiles outside of Zone 1 unless
they are completely contained in a fire-resistant
enclosure.
• Remove vines and climbing plants from combustible
structures (e.g., bougainvillea, wisteria).
• Remove or prune vegetation near windows (you
should be able to see out the windows).
• Remove vegetation and items around and under decks
that could catch fire.
• Create separations between trees, shrubs, and items that
could catch fire, such as patio furniture, swing sets, etc.
• Irrigation is recommended to maintain vegetation
moisture content.
Defensible Space
Creating and maintaining defensible space is essential for increasing your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It’s the
buffer homeowners are required to create between their structure and the native landscape. This space slows the spread
of wildfire and improves the safety of firefighters defending your home. Defensible space composition varies, depending
on vegetation type and topography. Three zones make up the required 200 feet of defensible space.
17278
Ready! Set! Go! Wildfire Action Plan | fire.lacounty.gov 5
Zone 3
Extends from the outer edge of Zone 2 to 200 feet from the structure
Zone 3 consists of mostly native plants appropriately thinned and spaced by 30 to 50 percent. The objective is to
reduce vegetation density and overall fuel load. This slows the rate of fire spread, reducing flame lengths and fire
intensity before it reaches irrigated zones or structures.
• Irrigation systems are not required.
• Vegetation consists of modified existing native
vegetation.
• Additional ornamental shrubs and trees are generally
not recommended due to water conservation goals.
• Existing native vegetation is modified by thinning and
removing plants constituting a high fire risk,
including, but not limited to, laurel sumac, chamise,
ceanothus, sage, sage brush, buckwheat, and California
juniper.
• Remove the lower ¹/₃ of large shrubs and all dead wood
to reduce fuel loads.
• Trees should be limbed up to at least six feet above grade
and a minimum of three times the height of underlying
plants.
• As the distance from structures increases, native plants
may be removed in reduced amounts.
• Spacing for large native shrubs or groups of native
shrubs is 15 feet between the edge of their canopies.
• Spacing for existing native trees or small groups of trees
is 30 feet between the edge of canopies. This depends
on the species, topography, and orientation on the site.
HAZARDOUS
ORNAMENTAL LANDSCAPE
Preventing conditions where fire can travel from adjacent fuels,
through an ornamental landscape to your structure, is the key
to creating defensible space. Fire spreads through convection,
conduction, radiation, or embers. Proper maintenance
of ornamental vegetation reduces ember production, fire
propagation, intensity, and duration of the approaching flames.This home provides a good example of defensible space.
70 FEET

Note: Special attention should be given to the use and maintenance of ornamental plants known or thought to be
high-hazard plants when used in close proximity to structures. Examples include acacia, cedar, cypress, eucalyptus,
Italian cypress, juniper, palms (remove all dead fronds), pine (removal within 30 feet of structures), and pampas
grass. These plantings should be properly maintained and not allowed to be in mass plantings that could transmit
fire from the native growth to any structure.

What Is Fuel Modification?
The Fuel Modification Plan Review Program affects new structures and developments built in fire hazard severity zones.
A Fuel Modification Plan (or landscape plan) identifies defensible space zones and restricts or limits planting around structures.
For further information, please visit bit.ly/fuelmod or call (626) 969-5205.
Zone A
EXTENDS 30 FEET FROM THE STRUCTURE
• Irrigated area consisting of low-growing, small
herbaceous plants with high-moisture content
immediately around structures.
• Hedges shall not be within five feet of any structures.
• Occasional accents of woody shrubs or small patio
trees 10 feet from structures. Single plants and/
or groups of plants are widely spaced (the distance
between plants is three times the height).
• Cut annual grasses to three inches and remove leaf
litter.
• Vines and climbing plants are not allowed on
combustible structures.
• Use rock or non-combustible mulch within five feet
of structures.

Create a Defensible Home
A home with defensible space has the greatest potential of surviving a
wildfire. Defensible homes are compliant with the Los Angeles County Fire
Department’s brush clearance requirements. Homes built after January 1, 1996,
have been through the Fire Department’s Fuel Modification Program, where
strict planting requirements and construction standards improve fire safety in
the high and very high fire hazard severity zones.

Zone C
EXTENDS FROM THE OUTER EDGE OF ZONE B
TO 200 FEET FROM THE STRUCTURE
• Thin to remove dead vegetation and prevent
overgrowth.
• Thin native species to slow the fire’s progress and
reduce its intensity by decreasing availability of
continuous fuels.
• Native vegetation is thinned 30 to 50 percent in
Zone C.
Zone B
EXTENDS FROM THE OUTER EDGE OF
ZONE A TO 100 FEET FROM THE STRUCTURE
• Irrigated with slightly denser planting than Zone A. Avoid
woody plants larger than three feet in height at maturity
under tree canopies.
• Has zone-appropriate shade trees with adequate
spacing.
• Minimize continuous canopy coverage to reduce fire
transmission.
• Screening plants may be used; however, continuous
hedges are discouraged as this promotes accumulation
of dead litter inside the live hedge and creates a
continuous fuel ladder to the structure.

Safeguard or “Harden” Your Home
The ability of your home to survive a wildfire depends
on the materials your home is constructed of and
the quality of the “defensible space” surrounding it.
Windblown embers from a wildfire will find the weak
link in your home’s fire protection scheme and gain the
upper hand because of a small, overlooked, or seemingly
inconsequential factor. However, there are measures
you can take to safeguard your home from wildfire.
While you may not be able to accomplish all of the
measures listed below, each will increase your home’s -
and possibly your family’s - safety and survival.
Address 1
• Make sure your address is clearly visible from the road.
The address needs to be a contrasting color to the surface
that it is mounted on, so it can be seen.
Chimney 2
• Cover your chimney and stovepipe outlets with a non-
flammable screen of 1/8-inch wire mesh or smaller to
prevent embers from escaping and igniting a fire.
• Tree branches must be removed within 10 feet of any
chimney (exception: oak trees).
Deck/Patio Cover 3
• Use heavy timber or non-flammable construction
material for decks and patio covers, especially within
the first 10 feet of the home.
• Enclose the underside of balconies and decks with
fire-resistant materials to prevent embers from
blowing underneath.
• Keep your deck clear of combustible items, such as baskets,
dried flower arrangements, and other debris.
Driveways and Access Roads 4
• Driveways should be designed to allow fire and emergency
vehicles and equipment to reach your home (current fire
code requirement is 15 feet wide).
• Access roads should have a minimum 10-foot clearance on
either side of the traveled section of the roadway and should
allow for two-way traffic.
• Locked or electric gates should have a disconnect or a
lock box.
• Ensure that all gates open inward and are wide enough to
accommodate emergency equipment.
• Trim trees and shrubs above all roads clear to the sky, with
the exception of Oak trees which only need to be cleared to
a height of 13½ (or 13.5) feet.
Garage 5
• Have a fire extinguisher and tools, such as a shovel, rake,
bucket, and hoe, available for fire emergencies.
• Install a solid door with self-closing hinges between
living areas and the garage. Install weather stripping
around and under the doors to prevent ember intrusion.
• Store all combustibles and flammable liquids away from
ignition sources.
• Keep the garage closed whenever possible.
Home Site and Yard 6
• Ensure you have up to a 200-foot radius of defensible space
(cleared vegetation) around your home. If the 200-foot
distance is on adjacent property, contact your local fire
station for assistance in obtaining adequate clearance.
• Cut dry weeds and grass before noon when temperatures
are cooler to reduce the chance of sparking a fire when
using metal tools.
• Landscape with fire-resistant plants that are low-growing
with high-moisture content.
• Keep woodpiles, propane tanks, and combustible materials
away from your home and other structures, such as garages,
barns, and sheds (recommended 30 feet).
• Ensure trees and branches are at least four feet away from
power lines. Notify your power company if this condition
exists; they will complete required work.
Tour a Wildfire-Ready Home
21282
Ready! Set! Go! Wildfire Action Plan | fire.lacounty.gov 9
Inside
• Keep a working fire extinguisher on hand and
train your family how to use it. Store in an easily
accessible location (check expiration date regularly).
• Install smoke alarms on each level of your home
and adjacent to the bedrooms. Test them monthly
and change the batteries twice a year.
Non-Combustible
Boxed-In (Soffit) Eaves
• Box-in eaves with non-combustible
materials to prevent accumulation
of embers.
Non-Combustible
Fencing 7
• Make sure to use non-combustible fencing to protect your
home during a wildfire.
Rain Gutters
• Screen or enclose rain gutters to prevent
accumulation of plant debris.
Roof 8
• Your roof is the most vulnerable part of your home
because it can easily catch fire from windblown embers.
• Homes with wood shake or shingle roofs are at a higher risk
of being destroyed during a wildfire.
• Build your roof or re-roof with fire-resistant materials that
include composition, metal, or tile.
• Block any spaces between roof decking and covering to
prevent ember intrusion.
• Clear pine needles, leaves, and other debris from your roof
and gutters.
• Cut any tree branches within 10 feet of your roof.
Vents
• Vents on homes are particularly vulnerable
to flying embers.
• All vent openings should be covered with
1/8-inch or smaller metal mesh. Do not use
fiberglass or plastic mesh because they can
melt and burn.
• Attic vents in eaves or cornices should be baffled or
otherwise to prevent ember intrusion (mesh is not
enough).
Walls 9
• Wood products, such as boards, panels, or shingles, are
common siding materials. However, they are combustible
and not good choices for fire-prone areas.
• Build or remodel with fire-resistant building materials, such
as brick, cement, masonry, or stucco.
• Be sure to extend materials from foundation to roof.
Water Supply 10
• Have multiple garden hoses that are long
enough to reach any area of your home and
other structures on your property.
Windows 11
• Heat from a wildfire can cause windows to break even
before the home ignites. This allows burning embers
to enter and start internal fires. Single-paned and large
windows are particularly vulnerable.
• Install dual-paned windows with an exterior pane of
tempered glass to reduce the chance of breakage in a fire.
• Limit the size and number of windows in your home that
face large areas of vegetation.
Utilities
• Ensure that your family knows where your gas, electric,
and water main shut-off controls are and how to safely shut
them down in an emergency.

Important Phone Numbers
A family communication plan that designates an out-of-area
friend or relative as a point-of-contact to act as a single source of
communication among family members in case of separation.
Maintain a list of emergency contact numbers posted near your
phone and in your Emergency Supply Kit (see page 12 in this guide).
What to Take
Assemble an Emergency Supply Kit (see page 12 in this guide).
Keep an extra Emergency Supply Kit in your car in case you can’t
get to your home because of fire.
Have a portable radio or scanner, so that you can stay updated on
the fire.
Prepare to Evacuate
Designate an emergency meeting location, outside the fire or hazard
area. It is critical to determine who has safely evacuated from the
affected area.
Have several different travel routes from your home and
community identified. Practice these often, so everyone in your
family is familiar in case of emergency.
Have all of the necessary supplies and/or boarding options for
your pets and large animals identified and/or packed. If trailers
are necessary for larger animals, have a plan that is tested and
ready to implement.
Create Your Own Wildfire Action Plan
Now that you have done everything you can to protect
your home, it’s time to prepare your family. Your
Wildfire Action Plan must be prepared with all
members of your household well in advance of a
wildfire. Each family’s plan will be different, depending
on their situation. Once you finish your plan, practice
it regularly with your family, and post it in a safe and
accessible place for quick implementation.

Assemble Your Emergency Supply Kit
Put together your emergency supply kit long before a wildfire or other disaster occurs, and keep it easily accessible, so you
can take it with you when you have to evacuate. Plan to be away from your home for an extended period of time. Each person
should have a readily accessible emergency supply kit. Backpacks work great for storing these items (except for food and
water) and are easy to grab. Storing food and water in a tub or chest on wheels will make it easier to transport. Keep it light
to be able to easily lift it into your vehicle.
Essential Supplies
Three-day supply of non-perishable food and three gallons
of water per person
Map marked with at least two evacuation routes
Prescriptions or special medications
Change of clothing and closed-toe shoes
Extra eyeglasses or contact lenses
An extra set of car keys, credit cards, and cash
First aid kit
Flashlight
Battery-powered radio and extra batteries
Sanitation supplies
Copies of important documents
(e.g., birth certificates, passports, etc.)
Don’t forget food and water for your pets!
Pre-Evacuation Preparation Steps
When an evacuation is anticipated and if time permits, follow these checklists to give your home the best chance of surviving a wildfire:
Animals
Locate your pets and keep them nearby.
Prepare large animals for transport and think about moving
them to a safe location early.
Inside
Shut all windows and doors.
Remove flammable window shades, lightweight curtains,
and close metal shutters.
Move flammable furniture to the center of the room, away
from windows and doors.
Leave your lights on, so firefighters can see your home
under smoky conditions.
Shut off the air conditioning.
Shut off the gas meter and all pilot lights.
Outside
Gather flammable items from the exterior of the house
and bring them inside (e.g., patio furniture, children’s toys,
doormats, etc.) or place them in your pool.
Turn off propane tanks. Move propane BBQ appliances
away from structures.
Connect garden hoses to outside water valves or spigots for
use by firefighters.
Don’t leave sprinklers on or water running.
They can affect critical water pressure.
Leave exterior lights on.
Put your emergency supply kit in your vehicle.
Back your loaded vehicle into the driveway with all
doors and windows closed. Carry your car keys with
you.
Have a ladder available in a conspicuous location for
firefighter use.
Seal attic and ground vents with a non-combustible material
or commercial seals, if time permits.
Monitor your property and your wildfire situation. Don’t
wait for an evacuation order, if you feel threatened and need
to, leave.
Check on neighbors and make sure they are preparing to leave.

Go Early
By leaving early, you will give your family the best chance
of surviving a wildfire. You also help firefighters by keeping
roads clear of congestion, enabling them to move more
freely throughout the neighborhood and do their job.
When to Go
Leave early enough to avoid being caught in fire, smoke,
or road congestion. Don’t wait to be told by authorities
to leave. In an intense wildfire, they may not have time
to knock on every door. If you are advised to leave, don’t
hesitate!
The terms “Voluntary” and “Mandatory” are used to
describe evacuation orders. However, local jurisdictions
may use other terminology such as “Precautionary” and
“Immediate Threat.” These terms are used to alert you to
the significance of the danger. All evacuation instructions
provided by emergency personnel should be followed
immediately for your safety.
Where to Go
Leave for a pre-determined location. It should be a low-
risk area, such as a well-prepared neighbor or relative’s
house, a Red Cross shelter or evacuation center, motel, etc.
How to Get There
Have several evacuation routes in case one route is blocked
by the fire or by emergency vehicles and equipment.
Choose an evacuation route away from the fire.
TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY WHEN WILDFIRE STRIKES
Follow these steps as soon as
possible to get ready to GO!
• Ensure your
Emergency Supply Kit
is in your vehicle.
• Cover up to protect
against heat and
flying embers. Wear
long pants, a long-
sleeve shirt, heavy
shoes/boots, a cap,
dry bandana (for face
cover), goggles, or
glasses. 100% cotton
is preferable.
• Locate your pets and
take them with you.

TO:HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:ASHFORD BALL, SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST
THRU:ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE DRAFT VEGETATION ORDINANCE
FOR CANYON MANAGEMENT AND FIRE FUEL ABATEMENT
DATE:November 17, 2021
BACKGROUND:
On June 30, 2021 the Fire Fuel Committee discussed ideas regarding mitigating fuel in the canyons
after discussing an annual project for long term goals to resolve fire fuel in the canyons. From the
discussion the idea of developing a new vegetation ordinance was prompted. At the next Fire Fuel
Committee meeting on July 21, 2021 Councilmember Mirsch presented a draft recommendation
intended for the City Council about fire fuel reduction in the canyons to discuss with her fellow
committee member Mayor Pro Tem Black.
The recommendation consisted of the following:
Property owners with hazardous levels of vegetation would be given the option of:
A) Performing the abatement work themselves, to be completed by the xx/xx/xx date
B) Joining a city-lead effort where the city would:
- obtain scope of work specifications
- obtain bids for entire job (by property) and select the vendor(s) to perform the work
- provide the cost of the work to each property owner
- determine start date
- ensure quality of work meets contractual specifications
C) Do nothing
If a property owner with hazardous levels of vegetation decides to do nothing, fails to authorize
the city to work on their property, fails to remit payment due for remediation work, or does not
perform their own abatement work by the specified date, then the property would be declared a
nuisance, and the city would begin nuisance abatement process (Chapter 8.24). This process
would be one time only, in each of the canyons specified as High Risk by the Fire Dept. Going
3294
forward, all required maintenance will be the total responsibility of the property owner. If unsafe
conditions re-occur on the property and a nuisance is declared, the city will begin the nuisance
abatement process
From this recommendation Staff was then given direction to assist with the development of the
ordinance before presentation to City Council.
At the August 30, 2021 Fire Fuel meeting the Committee discussed defining a nuisance and
amendments to the current dead vegetation ordinance. City staff and Councilmember Mirsch met with
legal counsel on September 2, 2021. City staff, legal counsel, and Councilmember Mirsch discussed
development of the ordinance and the details involved to construct it. On September 13, 2021 at the City
Council meeting the Fire Fuel Committee presented a report from the August 30, 2021 Fire Fuel
Committee meeting regarding the recent work the fire fuel committee had performed thus far and the
Council provided feedback. The feedback from the City Council was discussed during the September
29, 2021 Fire Fuel meeting.
The feedback and details from this meeting lead to more research which resulted in a meeting with the
Fire Department and Sheriff's department on November 4, 2021 to talk about more specifics for the
draft ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The City Attorney’s office drafted the ordinance and the ordinance was provided to Los Angeles Fire
Department Acting Assistant Chief for review and comment on Friday, October 29, 2021. The Assistant
Chief circulated the draft ordinance to the Forestry Division and the Forestry Division provided
feedback.
The feedback is summarized as follows:
• Defensible space is an area where firefighters may safely operate and may extend to 200 feet from
structures.
• Areas beyond 200 feet from structures should not be characterized as defensive space.
• Defensible space is focused primarily on structure survival and does not identify distances for
personnel safety.
• Defensible space of 200 feet is the standard for LA County and this is clear is the Fire Code.
• Fuel treatment beyond 200 feet should not be called defensible space; it could be called habitat
enhancement, invasive species removal or visual quality improvement. Defensible space should always
be related to structures, fire access and firefighter safety.
During the November 10, 2021 Fire Fuel meeting Staff reported to the committee that the ordinance
was being reviewed by the Fire Department and that staff may have a draft ready by next week to
present to the Fire Fuel Committee. The Committed received and filed the report. The Fire Department
also noted that they will not be enforcing defensible space beyond 200 feet from structures. The City
Attorney’s office provided an updated version of the draft ordinance on Friday, November 12, 2021.
Updates were made to areas that the City Attorney’s office was still researching from the initial draft.
Today the committee will discuss the the purpose and details of the draft ordinance to decide whether
they will make a recommendation to City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and Consider the draft vegetation ordinance to make recommendation to City Council.

Section 8.30.010 Purpose and Intent
A.Uncontrolledwildfires pose a seriousthreat to the health, welfare, and safety of the
City of Rolling Hills residents and their animals and property.
B.The City is located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and is almost an
entirely residential community of large one+ acre parcels. It is characterized by California ranch
style homes and an abundance of equestrian facilities. Early landscaping on these large parcels
matured, rendering the City a heavily wooded setting.
C.The City values the wooded setting and recognizes the benefits that vegetation
offers to the community, such as maintaining soil stability, fostering wildlife, and providing
shade and privacy. The City also recognizes the inherent danger in allowing such vegetation to
grow unchecked without maintenance recommended by fire officials and experts based on the
unique characteristics of the City and environmental changes, which have resulted in hotter and
dryer weather.
D.The topography of the City also increases the risk of fire transmission. The City
contains canyons and steep slopes, which influence how fires behave. Canyons provide narrow
openings that accelerate winds, making fires spread more quickly and easily. Further, when a fire
ignites at the bottom of a steep slope, it spreads more quickly upwards because it can preheat the
upcoming fuels with rising hot air.
E.The City Council has taken action to address this threat of uncontrolled wildfires
through the adoption of the Fire Fuel Abatement Ordinance in Chapter 8.30 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code, which prohibits the maintenance of dead and alive tumbleweeds and dead trees,
shrubs, palm fronds, and other plants.
F.Despite these efforts, the accumulationof other flammable vegetation within the
City continues to endanger the lives of the residents, animals, and property.
G.The California Legislature has found and declared that site and structure
defensibility is essential to reduce the risk of structure ignition and for effective fire suppression

Zones to maintain defensible space of 100 feet from each side and from the front and rear of a
structure. (Gov. Code Section 51182.) California law also authorizes local agencies to require a
greater distance than 100 feet of defensible space. (Gov. Code Section 51182.) California allows
local agencies to declare a violation as a public nuisance, cause correction of violations to be
made when a property owner fails to correct the condition causing the violation, and record a lien
against the property to cover the expenses incurred in correcting the violation itself. (Gov. Code
Sections 51187 and 51186.)
H.The County of Los Angeles Fire Code, which the City of Rolling Hills adopts by
reference, requires property owners and others in control of property in the Very High Fire
Hazard Severity Zone to maintain such defensible space. (See Los Angeles County Fire Code
Section 4907.1; Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 15.20.010.) It further authorizes a fire
code official to notify all property owners of extra hazardous conditions which require removal
of flammable vegetation up to 200 feet from any structure or building. (Los Angeles County Fire
Code Section 325.2.2.) Due to the extra hazardous conditions within the City, the Los Angeles
County Fire Department currently enforces a defensible space of up to 200 feet from any
structure or building within the City.
I.Due to the conditions described above and the City’s large lots, additional
defensible space is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of flame or heat transmission
sufficient to ignite structures and buildings within the City. Requiring an expanded defensible
space around improvements within the City from 200 feet to 500 feet of any improvement will
ultimately protect the City’s valued wooded setting, increase community safety, and give fire
suppression personnel sufficient area to conduct operations in the event of a wildfire.
J.This Chapter will allow for public nuisance abatement when property owners
allow flammable vegetation to accumulate in violation of this Chapter.
Section 8.30.020 Definitions
The following words and phrases, for the purposes of this chapter, are defined as follows:
“Flammable Vegetation” shall mean material that in its natural state will readily ignite (i.e., burn
and transmit fire from native or landscape plants to any Improvement or other vegetation).
Flammable Vegetation includes the following plants or vegetation:
1.Dead and dry grass, brush, Weeds, and leaf litter, dead and dying trees, and other
flammable vegetation that endanger public safety by creating a Fire Hazard in any
portion of the City.
2.Sagebrush, chaparral, and any other brush or vegetation, which attain such large

growth as to become, when dry, a fire menace to adjacent improved property;
3.Vegetation that is otherwise noxious or dangerous;
4.Poison oak and poison ivy when the conditions of growth are such as to constitute
a menace to the public health; and
5.Dry grass, stubble, brush, or other flammable material which endangers the public
safety by creating a Fire Hazard.
Section 8.30.030 Minimum General Requirements for Parcel Maintenance
A.Dead and alive tumbleweeds and dead trees, shrubs, palm fronds, grasses, or other
plants located on any Parcel in the City are prohibited.
B.Exception: Slope area approximated to be steeper than two units horizontal to one
unit vertical (fifty percept slope).
Section 8.30.040 Creating Additional Defensible Space
A.In addition to the requirements of Section 8.30.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code and the requirements of Section 4907.1 of the Los Angeles County Fire Code, which the
City adopts by reference, Responsible Party for Improvements or controlling land adjacent to
Improvements, shall at all times maintain an effective additional Defensible Space from two
hundred (200) feet to five hundred (500) feet from any Improvement.
B.The Defensible Space zone from two hundred (200) feet to five hundred (500)
feet from an Improvement shall be subject to the following requirements:
1.Flammable Vegetation must be removed by methods such as uprooting,
mowing, disking, thinning and trimming. Mowing is preferred when it is
desirable to leave the plant root structure intact to stabilize the soil.
9300

2.Invasive Species.Anynoxiousorinvasiveweedor plantdesignated byaFederal,
State, County, or City government as injurious to public health, agriculture,
recreation, wildlife, or property shall be removed. Due to their flammable
characteristics, potential to increase fuel density, and their ability to degrade
natural and plantedlandscapes, invasive plants are prohibited.
3.Any Weeds or grasses shall be cut to a height not less than four (4) inches and
no more than six (6) inches. This section does not apply to single specimens of
trees, ornamental shrubbery, or similar plants which are used as ground cover, if
they do not form a means of rapidly transmitting fire from the native growth to
any Improvement.
4.All trees and shrubs shall be properly maintained free of deadwood, litter, and
dying palm fronds.
5.Accumulated leaf litter and any Combustible Mulch may not exceed three (3)
inches in depth.
6.Create horizontal and vertical spacing among shrubs and trees using the “Fuel
Separation” method, the “Continuous Tree Canopy” method, or a combination of
both to achieve Defensible Space requirements. Selection of the appropriate
method should be done by reference to the State Board of Forestry and Fire
Protection’s “General Guidelines for Creating Defensible Space” (Feb. 8, 2006),
incorporated herein by reference.
a.The Fuel Separation method is focused on horizontal spacing and accounts
for slope as well as type and size of shrubs or trees. For slopes up to 20%,
shrubs are to be horizontally separated by a distance equal to two times the
height of the shrub and trees should be 10 feet apart measured at the
widest part of their canopy. For slopes measuring 20%-40%, shrubs are to
be horizontally separated by four times the height of the shrub and trees
should be 20 feet apart measured at the widest part of their canopy. For
slopes greater than 40%, shrubs are to be horizontally separated by six
times the height of the shrub and trees should be 30 feet apart measured at
the widest part of their canopy.
b.The Continuous Canopy Method eliminates ladder fuels by requiring a
minimum vertical clearance of tree branches to 6 feet or 1/3 of the tree
height, whichever is less. If shrubs are beneath the tree, the tree branches
are to be removed providing clearance of at least three times the height of
the shrub.
7.Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) storage tanks shall have the following minimum
clearance: ten feet (10 ft.) of clearance to bare mineral soil and no Flammable
Vegetation for an additional ten feet (10 ft.) around their exterior.
C.Exception: Slope area approximated to be steeper than two units horizontal to one
unit vertical (fifty percept slope).
Section 8.30.050 Increased and Decreased Defensible Space
A.The City Manager or his or her designee may require an increase of Defensible
Space due to topographical or geographical concerns. If a Parcel is required to maintain a
10301
- 6 -
Defensible Space clearance greater than the required five hundred (500) feet from all
Improvements, a notice to abate hazard shall be issued in accordance with Chapter 8.24.
B.The City Manager or his or her designee may allow a decrease of Defensible
Space to less than the amount required by this Chapter due to topographical or geographical
constraints on the Parcel upon a written finding.
Section 8.30.060 Defensible Space Near Adjacent Property Improvements
No Responsible Party shall permit any accumulation of Flammable Vegetation, Dying or
Diseased Trees, Green Waste, or other combustible materials within five hundred (500) feet of
Improvements on an adjacent property.
Section 8.30.070 Fire Extinguishers
Any person conducting brush abatement or mitigation with a mechanical device must
have a fire extinguisher directly located on hand when working with dead or dry vegetation.
Section 8.30.080 Grading
The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to authorize grading which does not
comply with the rules of the City.
Section 8.30.090 Exemptions
This Chapter shall not apply to land or water area acquired or managed for purpose or use
of the following:
A.Habitat for endangered or threatened species, or any species that is a candidate for
listing as an endangered or threatened species by the state or federal government.
B.Riparian (stream side) zones or vernal pool depressions as recognized by the state
or federal government.
Section 8.30.100 Violation
Any violation of this Chapter is deemed a public nuisance and shall be abated in
compliance with Chapter 8.24.
