ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Findings:
A. In 1993 the City adopted a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance as was
required by the State Legislature. The provisions of this ordinance were codified into the Zoning
Code.
B. In 2006 the Governor signed Assembly Bill 1881 requiring cities and counties
to amend their water efficient landscape ordinance, based on a Model Ordinance proposed by a
Landscape Taskforce charged with formulating recommendations to improve irrigation
efficiency in new and existing landscaping.
C. Due to this State -mandated requirement the City wishes to codify the
provisions of the new ordinance in a section of the Municipal Code that relates to water
conservation and sewers, rather than in the Zoning Code.
D. The City staff prepared an ordinance in conformance with the state
mandate, which is being considered for adoption by the Rolling Hills City Council.
E. The City Council determines that this proposed ordinance is exempt from
review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§
21000, et seq., "CEQA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of

Rolling Hills Zoning Code in order to assure there is no inconsistency with a proposed ordinance
that enacts requirements that are applicable to new or altered landscape projects subject to
project specific discretionary review. Therefore, the adoption of this ordinance is not considered
a project per section 21065 of CEQA. In addition, this ordinance is an action being taken for
enhanced protection of the environment that does not have the potential to cause significant
effects on the environment. Consequently, it is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA
Guidelines § 15308 as an action taken by a regulatory agency as authorized by California law to
assure maintenance or protection of the environment.
F. General Plan Conformance and Zoning. The proposed project conforms to the
City's General Plan because it is consistent with the discussion of Water Resources in the Open

expected. The proposed updating of the Municipal Code by the repeal of this Chapter and the
addition of a new water efficient landscape requirements into the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
so that it is consistent with the requirements of Assembly Bill 1881 will improve irrigation
efficiency in new and existing landscaping.

Ordinance No. 317
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2009-11
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the staff report, open the public
hearing, introduce the ordinance for first reading and waive full reading.
BACKGROUND
In 1992, the State of California enacted the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act, (AB
325) requiring the adoption of a water efficient landscape ordinances by cities and
counties throughout the state. In 1993, the City of Rolling Hills adopted an ordinance,
Section 17.27.020 Water efficient landscaping requirements. This ordinance is applicable
to those projects requiring a site plan review for which the Planning Commission or
City Council requires compliance with the ordinance. The provisions of the existing
ordinance are being complied through the site plan review process, and the building
code requires water efficient irrigation systems. This ordinance was placed in the
Zoning portion (Title 17) of the Municipal Code.
In 2006, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 1881 (Laird, Water
Conservation) amending the Water Conservation in the Landscape Act. The bill
required two new things: 1) California Department of Water Resources (DWR) was to
update the original Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance; and 2) cities and
counties are to update their local Landscape Ordinances so that they are "at least as
effective as DWR's updated Model Ordinance". Cities could adopt the DWR model
ordinance outright, modify it to meet a city's local needs, or adopt an entirely different
ordinance.
In September 2009, the DWR adopted a Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance
and provided it to cities and counties in late October.
DISCUSSION
In evaluating the requirements of the new State Model Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (State Model), significant differences between the new requirements and
current regulations have been identified.
Because of the many changes between the 1993 requirements and the current
requirements it is recommended that Section 17.27.027 of the Municipal Code be
repealed in its entirety and a new ordinance prepared and adopted. It is further
recommended that the new ordinance be placed in the Municipal Code in the Water
and Sewers Title and not in the Zoning Code.
A new Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance is before the City Council for introduction
and first reading under a separate Agenda Item.
Meanwhile, the current ordinance placed in the Zoning Code must be repealed, to
avoid any confusion and conflict between different sections of the Municipal Code. At
the December 15, 2009 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission held a public
hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2009-11 recommending that the City Council
adopt an ordinance to repeal Section 17.27.020 of the Zoning Code.
In order to repeal or amend the Zoning Code, at least one public hearing must be held
before the Planning Commission and at least two before the City Council.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the proposed ordinance to repeal
Section 17.27.020 of the zoning ordinance for introduction and first reading.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS TO

EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ZONING CODE IN TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE ROLLING
HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE.

PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
The City staff prepared an ordinance regarding water efficient landscaping and irrigation
requirements in conformance with a state mandate. This ordinance is being considered for
adoption by the Rolling Hills City Council at a separate public hearing.
Due to the State -mandated requirement the City wishes to codify the provisions of the new
ordinance in a section of the Municipal Code that relates to water conservation and sewers,
rather than in the Zoning Code, and therefore it is necessary to repeal the ordinance
currently existing in the Zoning Code.
MUNICIPAL CODE APPLICATIONS: Section 17.34.030 - Noticing Requirements and
Section 17.50.020(B) - Amendments to the Zoning Code.
Any person is welcome to review the proposed ordinance prior to the public hearing at the
City Hall Administration Building located at 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, CA.
If you challenge the approval or denial of the proposed ordinance in court, you may be
limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing
described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Council at, or
prior to, the public hearing.
