RECONSIDERATION OF CHANGE IN S .R.D. ZONE
The City Attorney stated that one of the primary
considerations in regard to. the amendment of the zoning ordinance.
was the Council's apprehension that, notwithstanding the pro-
. tective clauses, there might be a lack of police enforcement
that would .result in th'is zone becoming a manufacturing area,
or that it might_ lose its character as an S .R.D. Zone. He
. further' stated that he had talked with Mr. John Commons of the
, Regional Planning Commission who had assured him that the zone
will be thoroughly policed and the restrictions strictly enforced. �
. He then advised the Council .,that he had been approached
by representatives of Palos Verdes Properties in connection with
� the previous action of the Council in passing Resolution No. 131 �
� �
� � �
� January 15, 1962 ,
in opposition to the proposed amendment to the Los Angeles
County Zoning Ordinance to allow limited manufacturing in the

writing to transfer to the Rolling Hills Community Association
� all road, public utility, and bridle trail easements within
the jurisdiction bf the Association with certain limitations
in connection with' the area known as San Pedro Hill and
the Flying Triangle Extension if taken into the Association
under the terms of the agreement entered with Palos Verdes
Properties and the �ssociation in 1950.
