AO 411 RESOLUTION NO. 95-16 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR JOINT POWERS TRANSIT AUTHORITY LIMITED USES IN ZONING CASE NO. 532. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. On August 7, 1995, applications were duly filed by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District with respect to real property at the ±31.14 acre western portion of Lot 72-RH, and currently, 38 Crest Road West, Rolling Hills, requesting (1) to amend the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance to allow joint powers transit authority uses as a conditionally permitted use in the RA-S-2 Zone; and (2) a Conditional Use Permit to allow portions of school district property used as a maintenance and warehouse facility at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District property to be used by a joint powers transit authority for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District Crest Road property at 38 Crest Road West, Rolling Hills, CA (±31.14 acre western portion of Lot 74-MS). Section 2. On February 26, 1963, a Conditional Use Permit was approved by the Planning Commission for the following five structures to be constructed at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District site: (1) administration building, (2) education material and library facility building, (3) warehouse building, (4) district maintenance building, and (5) an elementary school building, The Conditional Use Permit expired on February 26, 1964 and no new buildings were constructed. Section 3. On, June 5, 1964 a Conditional Use Permit was denied by the Planning Commission to permit the construction of an (1) administration building, (2) elementary school building, and (3) district maintenance building. The Planning Commission found that the construction and location of the proposed administration building, maintenance building and garage would establish and permit a commercial use of the property that would consist of a garage for the storage of approximately thirty-seven (37) diesel school buses, a facility for repairing, maintaining and servicing the buses, a warehouse for the storage of school supplies and a repair/workshop for the repair and maintenance of school property, all of which uses will create noise, dirt and confusion from 6 AM in the morning until approximately 5 PM in the afternoon each day the facilities are in operation, and these uses would constitute a nuisance and depreciate the value of all property adjoining the school property and interfere with the enjoyment of the residential use of the adjacent properties by the residents and owners. Section 4. Applications were made for the subject project by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District on August 7, 1995. On August 17, 1995, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration was prepared and was circulated to the applicant and other interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of the Planning Commission's intent to RESOLUTION NO. 95-16 PAGE 1 OF 6 recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was published on August 31, 1995. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. Section 5. The application applies to the ±31.14 acre western portion of Lot 72-RH. The General Plan Land Use designation for this property is Very Low Density Residential 2+ Net Acres per Dwelling Unit. Section 6. The subject site is presently occupied by 7 school buildings, a maintenance building, a warehouse building, a computer/office equipment repair building, a vehicle repair shop, and an administration building. The zone designation for the subject site is RA-S-2 and the zone designation on adjacent properties is RA-S-2. Section 7. The project as proposed is to permit portions of school district property used as a maintenance and warehouse facility to be used by a joint powers transit authority for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans at the site. The site will continue to be used for the storage and maintenance of school district vehicles and equipment. The school district proposes to permit a joint powers transit authority to use 500 square feet of the northernmost portion of a 7,600 square foot warehouse for administrative uses and 2,500 square feet of an existing asphalt paved area of school district property for the storage parking only of 10 vans. Section 8. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on September 19, 1995 and October 17, 1995. The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District representatives were in attendance at the hearing. Section 9. The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment. Based upon these findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 10. On October 17, 1995, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 95-15 which recommended the adoption of an ordinance to authorize joint power transit authority limited uses in the RA-S-2 Zone. The Conditional Use Permit requested by the applicant is, therefore, dependent on the City Council's adoption of this ordinance. Section 11. With respect to the request for a Conditional Use Permit for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans by a joint powers transit authority, the Planning Commission finds: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans by a joint powers transit authority would be consistent RESOLUTION NO. 95-16 PAGE 2 OF 6 • • A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans by a joint powers transit authority would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar school district uses in the community and these uses will be located in an area of the property where such use will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties. The transit vans will not use Rolling Hills' roads, traffic will be decreased on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, fuel consumption will be reduced on the Peninsula, and air quality of the Peninsula will be preserved. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the public transit authority administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the existing structures are sufficiently screened and will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the public transit authority administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and will be located on a ±31.14 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the public transit authority administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans will not require any development at the existing site. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project, though listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List, will not require any development at the site. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because the public transit authority administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans will not require any development at the site and access will be outside the gates of the City. Section 12. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission approves the request for a Conditional Use Permit in Zoning Case No. 532 to allow joint powers transit authority limited administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District site, as shown on the Development Plan dated August 8, 1995 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 13. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall not take effect until the effective date of an ordinance adopted by the City Council authorizing joint powers transit authority limited uses in the RA-S-2 Zone.

Vehicular access to and from the school district property shall be from the driveway at the northwest portion of the property outside the gates of the City of Rolling Hills. J. of the site. Speed limit signs shall be installed by the applicant on the internal driveway K. Maintenance of the 10 transit vans shall not take place at the school district property but, at an off -site repair facility. L. Landscaping shall be maintained to obscure the buildings and vehicles on the site so that the structures, vehicles, driveway, and slopes are screened and obscured from view at the northern property line with native drought -resistant vegetation that is compatible with the surrounding vegetation of the community. M. The applicant and other affected agencies shall coordinate a meeting or meetings with area residents regarding their concerns (i.e., noise abatement, car pooling, RESOLUTION NO. 95-16 PAGE 4 OF 6 starting times, housekeeping on the site, etc.) prior to the March, 1996 Planning Commission meeting. N. At the March, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant shall submit a report on the actions taken to decrease noises on the site, which may include measurements, tests or other acoustical evaluation.

With respect to the request to amend the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance to include a joint powers transit authority under Section 17.16.040(B) Conditional Use Permit as Primary Use, the Planning Commission finds: A. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies to maintain Rolling Hills' distinctive rural residential character (Land Use Element, p. 15.), to maintain the rural character of Rolling Hills' road system (Circulation Element, p. 13.) and to maintain the private status of the streets within the City boundaries (Circulation Element, p. 13) because there will not be any development on the site and access shall continue from outside the gates of the City. RESOLUTION NO. 95-13 PAGE 2 OF4 • DRAFT B. The proposed use will fulfill a public necessity in the use of portions of school district property used as a maintenance and warehouse facility to be used by a joint powers transit authority for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans at the site for Peninsula students and residents. The proposed use will conserve public costs related to van storage, van fuel, van use and driver commuting distances. C. The proposed use will be convenient in that portions of school district property used by the joint powers transit authority for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans at the site will be accessed from outside of the gates of the City. The transit vans will be stored at the school district property during the time they are not in use which will decrease road traffic on the Peninsula, reduce fuel consumption and preserve air quality. D. The proposed use will benefit the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Rolling Hills, as well as the citizens of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, in that portions of school district property used by the joint powers transit authority for administrative uses and the storage parking only of 10 vans at the site will not use Rolling Hills' roads, traffic will be decreased on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, fuel consumption will be reduced on the Peninsula, and the air quality of the Peninsula will be preserved. Section 9. Based upon the findings contained in Sections 7 and 8 of this resolution, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance to amend Paragraph B of Section 17.16.040 of Chapter 16 of Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code to read: "B. Conditional Use As Primary Use. The following conditional uses may be permitted as a primary use on a lot: 1. Elementary school offering State -mandated curriculum; 2. Fire station; 3. Gate house; 4. Park and/or playground; 5.

Public utility building or structure, including a reservoir or tank, necessary for the provision of essential utility services to permitted uses in the City, but excluding wires, pipelines or poles; 7.

The Commission further finds that the plot plan submitted in evidence by applicant as Exhibit A represents the existing and/or proposed location of the proposed construction of an Administration Building, District Maintenance Building and Elementary School Building for which applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit. III. The Commission further finds that the construction and location of the proposed administration building, maintenance building and garage, would establish and permit a commercial use of said property which would consist of a garage for the storage of approximately thirty-seven (37) diesel school busses, a facility for repairing, maintaining and servicing said busses, a warehouse for the storage of school supplies and a repair and work shop for the repair and maintenance of school property, all of which uses will create noise, dirt and confusion from six o'clock in the morning until approximately five o'clock in the afternoon each day that said facilities are in operation, and that said uses constitute a nuisance and depreciate the value of all property adjoining said school property and interfere with the enjoyment of the residential use of said property by the residents and owners thereof.
