JOINT MEETING WITH PLANNING COMPdISSION 11 Mayor Swanson welcomed members of the Planning Commission, and she said the first order of business would be a joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning Commission for tfie purpose of discussing matters of mutual concern. a) ZONING OF SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY 15 Mr. Kinley said the City'.s Zoning .iviap; adopted in June 1960 as. part of the Zoning Ordinance, shows that the property owned by the . School District is in the RAS-2 Zone, and review of Planning Commission records indicate that a Conditional Use Permit was approved by the Plan- ning Commission on November 29, 1960 for construction of school faci,l- " ities. Mr. Kinley said that if use of the proper�y for a school is continued the Council could properly re-zone the property to Commercial Limited and issue a Conditional Use Permit . Councilman Perneli asked if the property could be re-zoned without an application by the owner; Mr . Kinley said the Council could initiate the action and re-zone the property. Councilmar� Pernell said such �,ction would impose .the zoning, rather �hai� gran:t something, ' and Councilman Crocker said the zoning would then comply with existing use. Chairman Murdock said the zoning of the property is .of concern to the Planning Commission; she said that the property is a very saleable site within the City, and it is the opinion of the Commission that the matter of zoning should be resolved and any change in zoning should be � accomplished before the property is offered for sale . Mayor Swanson said that if the School Board decided to lease the property rather than sell it , she wished to know if that would be in vic.lation of the City's ordinance with respect to commercial activity. Mr. Kinley said that if it was leased for commercial use the lessee would be in violation. Councilman Crocker said if the property can be used only for a public school , and if the property is boarded up and left , because is it not being used as a public school and cannot be � ��o January 28, 1980 sold or leased for other purposes, as a matter of legal practicality he wished to ask Mr. Kinley whether the City would be in �a stronger : position to enforce RAS-2 Zoning or C-L Zoning. Mr. Kinley said he would consider RAS-2 Zoning preferable. Councilman Pernell said that as a member of a committee meeting with the School District in connection with a plan to close certain schools, he has determined that the question before the School Board is what schools should be closed. Disposition of school sites is an entirely different matter which will be referred to a different commit- - tee for recommendations about use or disposition of school sites. Mr. Kinley said if the District wishes to dispose of the �pro�erty it must first be offered for park purposes as required by the Education Code. Chairman Murdock suggested that the City's position on zoning be - reaffirmed prior to any action by the School Board: Mayor Swanson:_said she::_has._been�:ask:ed to advzse the..School Board at the earliest apportti�ity what tHe ;zoning of :the property is. The Mayor said the decision about : • whether to close La Cresta School will be made on "February 11, and if necessary, a special City Council meeting could be scheduled for Feb- ruary 4 to consider whether to re-zone the property if La Cresta is closed. Mr. Kinley said the School District is required to notify the City in writing prior to disposing of the land of its intent to dis- pose of the surplus land, and he suggested the Council appoint a Parks and Recreation Committee. Mayor Swanson sa�d that would be done at the � next meeting. b) TENNIS COURTS 157 Councilman Heinsheimer said he thought the Ci.ty Council and the Planning Commission should consider whether any more tennis courts should b e permitted. He said many tennis courts are not being built for tennis, but are being added to artifici.ally enhance the value of the property. Use of the City 's tennis courts has declined consider= ably, Councilman Heinsheimer said, and there is more opportunity for members of the Community to use the courts. Chairman Murdock sa�d she . had determined that there were only eighteen requests for the sixty- seven playing times available at the last six-week sign up period. In response to Mayor Swanson 's inquiry about the number of tennis courts in the City, the Manager said there are approximately 37 tennis courts, 22 of which were in existence i�i 1976 , and 15 additional courts built since then; also nine paddle tennis courts. Chairman Murdock said the Planning Commission considered eight applications for tennis eourts in . 1979; six were approved and two were denied. Commiss:a.oz�er.. Hanscom, said tY�at as .a merriber of ;the Planning Commis- sion she has voted for tennis courts wh�ch have met the criteria estab- lished by ordinance, although :she agrees that they are not compatible . with the rural concept . Commissioner Watts said that in recen� cases� applicants have stated that the court wiJ.l be used for basketball . and volleyball also,:'it was .his opinion that there would be an increase in the number of requests for courts to be used for multiple sports . Councilman Heinsheimer said minimum construction. is neeei�c� . for volley ball and basket ball , and if the area required for. a court for those activities could be provided within the limits of development permitted by ordinance, the courts could be built without permit , and could be removed easily if no longer used, or if the ownership of the property changes, bu�C once a tennis court is built it remains on the property, even if it is not used and is allowed to deteriorate, because of the increased value of property with a tennis court . Further, Councilman Heinsheimer said erosion starts with tennis courts, and it was his recommendation that the Council and Planning Commission consider a moratorium or prohibition of tennis courts. � Councilman Crocker said he does not consider tennis courts compatible with a rural atmesphere because of the large paved area and high fences required, and he thinks Rolling Hills has more tennis courts than most rural areas. Councilman Crocker said �he popularity of tennis comes and goes and deteriorating unused tennis courts cause an adverse impact on the community. -2- 321 . January 28, 1980 Chairman Murdock said she is aware of the problem, and had dis- cussed with the City Manager ancl the Plannir,g Advisor �he possibility of attaching conditions requiring maintenance as a condition of ap- proval of tennis courts�. and possibly swimming pools. She said the agreement would have to be signed by the applicant , recorded, and passed on with the property if ownership changed, and would be ex- - ecuted cnly if the tennis court or pool was permitted to deteriorate and become an eye::ore. Commissioner Watts said that since applications. for. tennis courts are consi.dered at the majority of Planning Commiss 'ion meetings, the Planning Commission needs direction fron� the Council. Commissioner Field said it is dif�icult to separate personal preference from the equity of the property owners and he suggested that the City Council and Flanning Commission should study the matter of. prohibiting tennis courts, hold a public. hearing and act on the will of the residents. • Commissioner Roberts said tennis courts are not compatible with the rural concept , and 75% of those approved change the rural atmosphere: Chairman Murdock said that in considering application.s for tennis courts the Planning Commission is charged with attempting to make an equitable . � decision based on existing regulations and ordinances, and if something � is not prohibited, and if the plan conforms with requirements of the � ordinances, it is difficult to deny an application for a conditional Q use permit , since the applicant has a right to apply. If there is a a need to change the regulations, Chairman b�urdock urged that they be a changed. Councilman Crocker said he would be in �avor of a three month moratoxium on tennis courts and paddle tennis courts, during wh'ich . the regulations could be reviewed and revised guidelines could be prepared. � Councilman Heinsheimer moved that because of the Council 's concern about soil erosion, lack of utilization of existing courts, concern about long-term maintenance of .tennis courts and paddle terinis courts, . and lack of a means for enforcing maintenance, also because of concern about fence heights for courts which are inconsistent with other fence heights in the Community, a ninety day moratorium be placed on tennis courts arid paddle tennis courts, and that the City Attorney be reques- ted to prepare an urgency ordinance imposing the moratorium for adop- tion at the next meeting, and that the Planning Cominission be charged with making a study and presenting appropriate recommendations to the City .Coun.cil . Councilman .Crocker seconded the motion. Dr:.° . Edward `9illiams, 2740 Palos Verdes Drive North, said he has a paddle tennis court , and he wants to put a tennis court on h'is property, which is in excess of two .acres, for physical fitness. Dr. Wi.11iams said he is willing to spend the necessary time and money to landscape a tennis court so it will not be visible �rom surrounding properties. He said the reasoning .that there are playing times in excess of demand is not valid in his case, since he has not been able to reserve a time when he is available, and he also has had to wait for a tennis time in a private tennis club that he joined. He said residents should be given some notice before a moratorium is imposed. Mrs. Betsy ftaine, 71 Portuguese Bend Road, said she supports the � Council and Planning Commission in their consideration of tennis courts. Mrs. Raine asked that the requirement for a cash deposit for landscaping to screen a tennis court .which is visible to residents of the Flying Triangle be reviewed for compliance with the conditions of approval . Mrs.. Sherry Ikezawa, 10 Packsaddle Road jYest , said she has con- sidered having a tennis court on her property which is in excess of five acres, but has not made a decision. Mrs. Ikezawa said she be- longs to a private tennis court , also has played on the City courts, but because she works long hours it is not always possible for her to schedule her play when there is a vacancy on the courts, and it ' would be more convenient for her and her family to. have their own court , even though it would be used for a few hours only a few tir�es a week. Mrs. Ikezawa said a tennis court is too costly to be done -3- , _ . -y. �22 January 28 , 1980 simply to increase the value of a property ; it was her opinion that a resident who builds a tennis court on his property will do so because of a desire to use the court , and will. maintain it in good order. The motion to adopt an urgency ordinance at the next meeting which would impose a 90 day moratorium on tennis courts and paddle tennis courts passed on the following roll call vote : AYES : Councilmen Crocker, Heinsheimer, Mayor Swanson NOES : None ABSENT: Councilmen Pernell, Rose Councilman Heinsheimer asked that the residents be notified in the Newsletter, and that the Tennis Club be advised, and also he asked ' that if possible the Manager attempt to find the cost of making appli- cation to the Planning Commission for, a tennis court , including costs for engineering, if possible. c) TENNIS COURT FENCE HEIGHTS 465 Chairman Murdock said the Planning Commission is concerned about the visibility of tennis court fences, and since there is no standard for tennis court fence heights, after a study by the Commission they reached the conclusion that each �ennis court application should be , considered separately, and the fence height should be stated as part . � of the conditions of approval , of the individual court . A solution under consideration is requiring that a limit be placed on the height of fences surrounding tennis and paddle tennis courts, with the under- standing that the court must be sunk sufficiently to conform with the established fence height . If unable to meet the limitations of the fence height , the applicant would then be permitted to request a variance.. Chairman Murdock said another factor which should be considered is the visibility of fences surrounding tennis courts; in some cases it may not be necessary to restrict the height of the fence, and in other areas it is very important because the court is highly visible from other properties. d) PROXIMITY OF TENNIS COURTS TO CANYON AREAS 472 Chairman Murdock said that although proximity of tennis courts to canyon areas is a matter of concern, all construction near canyons is a problem, and should be considered as part of development of parcels with limited usable 1and. Chairman Murdock said the Council and Plan- ning Commission should address the problem of canyons , flood hazards, ridge tops , canyon bottoms in connection with all construction, and should affirm their position, since the General Plan does not state clearly any restriction against building in canyons. e) GENERAL PLANNING CONCEPTS FOR THE CHANGING COMMUNITY 483 . Chairman Murdock said although there is still a strong desire tv retain the rural atmosphere in Rolling Hills, established guidelines are not applicable to many residents who are moving into the community, since the populace is changing. Many new residents do not share the feelings and desires of old-time residents, specifically with regard to total development of their property, since the concept of a small home, a barn and corral on a property is giving way, under escalating land values , to a wish to totally develop the land by building a large home, large barn, corral , swimming pool with lots of decking, guest . house, tennis court , and possibly, in addition, servants ' quarters. Although all properties are not suitable for total development, most people who move into the community wish to justify their investment by developing their property to the limit possible, rather than leaving a portion undeveloped. Councilman Crocker said other affluent communities permit total development , and he urged that every attempt be made to maintain the rural atmosphere in Rolling Hills. Residents ' support of the concept -4- January 28, �9so � 323 : can be demonstrated at the ballot box, and he said the two Council members who are running for re-election have made their ideas fully known, so the unique features of the Community should be preserved, until there are indications that residents have other wishes: Chair- man Murdock said that she does not wish to change any regulations, but she tYiinks the Planning Commission and City Council should be aware of the pressures for development , and re-affirm their position about what is acceptable and what is not . Councilman Heinsheimer said applicants have a right to apply to the Planning Commission, and the Planning Commission must use discretion when considering the application. Members of the Planning Commission agreed that it is difficult to turn down an application when all requirements of the ordinances are met . Mayor Swanson said the applicant still has a right to appeal the Plan- ning Commission ' s decision to the City Council, if an application is denied. Commissioner Watts said architects and engineers should be encouraged to conform to the requirements of the ordinance, or to demonstrate hardship if requesting a variance. f) DEVELOPMENT OF PARCELS WITH LIMITED USABLE LAND 600 . - (� Chairman Murdock said the Planning Commission has had problems � with marginal lots with limited usable land suitable for dedelopment . In order to avoid disappointment for the applicant , as well as expense, � Chairman Murdock asked whether it would be possible to predetermine how Q much of a parcel is usable within the grading code, and she suggested Q that deed restrictions could be placed on lots in subdivisions which Q would require grading in excess of the permitted 2 : 1. Mr. Anderson, Planning Advisor, said this could be done during subdivision; and the restriction could be placed on the final map. Councilman Heinsheimer said this could be done in future subdivisions, but would not apply to similar parcels which have already been divided; Mr. Kinley said addi- tional legislation. could take care of existing parcels . g) DRAINAGE 635 . , Chairman Murdock .said concerns about drainage will be addressed in the Planning Commission's study of tennis courts, since that is one of the concerns. Maximum development of properties results in drainage problems, . particularly tennis courts, swimming pool decks, and other flat surfaces which interrupt the natural flow of water. In addition to dissipation of water from flat surfaces, there is a concern about what happens to trails when the water enters the canyons, and sewage disposal is . another eoncern. Larger homes with more bathrooms, bath and shower facilities adjacent to swimming pools and tennis courts result in greater saturation of hillsides, and alternate sewage systems should be considered, if possible. Councilman Heinsheimer suggested that the permitted percentage of lot development should be reviewed and perhaps be changed, since it was adopted in 1976 and greater restrictions may now be necessary. Commissioner Hanscom said she is concerned about the possibility that a large parcel can have both a guest house and servants quarters in addition to the main residence. Chairman Murdock said she thought a determinatiori should be made as to whether buildings on a property should be close together, or should be separated as much as possible. Councilman Crocker said that having accessory buildings close together would. control the problem of renting or leasing the buildings as additional living quarters. Mayor Swanson said the question of clustering or separating buildings should be considered separately for each property because of differences in topography. of parcels. Because of expansive soil on the Peninsula, and landslide problems in some areas , Mayor Swanson said the question of drainage and sewage disposal systems should be investigated. The Manager said she will discuss the matter with Mr. Arthur Keene, the County` s Engineering Geologist , and will report to the Council. The Mayor asked that the Plannin.g Commission work with the Manager and Mr. Keene and report to the Council on drainage. Commissioner Field said the matters presented to the Planning Commission are only the problems which require variances and special -5- . :�. �24 January 28, 1980 permits; a large number of improvements are constructed without an appearance before the Planning Commission , and since there is a concern about the total development of properties, it might be advisable to revise the percentage of property which may be developed. Council- : man Heinsheimer said a hearing should be scheduled, either before the Planning Commission or City Council , to review the permitted percent- age of development. Councilman Crocker said there is often a vast difference between usable land and total land area, and it is important to control development on usable land. Chairman Murdock said it might be necessary for the Planning Commission to hold special meetings. Chairman Murdock thanked the Council on behalf of the Planning Commission for their support , and for the input during the joint meeting. Mayor Swanson adjourned the joint meeting at 10 :00 P.M. RECESS _ The meeting was recessed at 10 :00 P.M. and reconvened at 10 :05 P,M. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 742 � The minutes of the meeting of January 14, 1980 were approved and accepted on a motion made by Councilman Crocker, seconded by Mayor Swanson and carried unanimously. � FINANCIAL STATEMENT 747 The Financial Statement �or December 1979 was approved and accep- ted on a motion made by Councilman Heinsheimer, seconded by Councilman Crocker and carried by the �ollowing roll call vote : AYES : Councilmen Crocker, Heinsheimer, Mayor Swanson NOES: None ABSENT: Councilmen Pernell, Rose PAYMENT OF BILLS 759 Councilman Crocker moved that Demands No. 8554 through 8589, with the exception of Nos. 8554 and 8579, which are void, be approved for payment in the amount of $36, 771 . 22 from the General Fund. The motion was seconded by Mayor Swanson and carried by the following roll call vote: AYES : Councilmen Crocker, Heinsheimer, Mayor Swanson NOES: None ABSENT: Councilmen Pernell , Rose AUDIT REPORT, JULY 1, 1979 - JUNE. 30, 1980 The City Treasurer said he had received a corrected copy of the Audit Report prepared by Cotton and Francisco, and recommended that it be approved and accepted as corrected. INSTALLATION OF AUTHORIZED TRAFFIC SIGNS 785 The City Manager advised the Council that the signs authorized by the Traffic Commission have been ordered, and all except the symbols for horse crossings have been received, and will be installed �vithin a few days. Mayor Swanson asked about installation of barricades as recommended by the Traffic Commission, Mrs. Clifton said the City does not have the money to install barricades as recommended, and she wishes to discuss the matter and consideration of a different approach with Mr. Stephenson, the Association Manager. Councilman Pernell returned to the meeting at 10:30 �.M. -6- January 28, 1980 �2� FIRST DRAFT - BUDGET, FISCAL YEAR 1980-81 818 A memo dated January 25, 1980 from the City Manager, and a first draft of the Budget for Fiscal 1980-87� were presented to the Council . Councilman Crocker explained that the budget contains a. projection of expenses which are now known, and an estimate of the City' s financial position at the end of 1980-81 , making a number of assumptions which are general at present . Mr. Courtright advised the Council that the projected budget in- cludes the most recent information available to him, and asked the Manager to comment . �Mrs. Clifton said revenue from Building and Other Permits, also Subdivision, is below projected receipts for the current year. - .. Councilman Crocker said the Ending Fund BaTance projection of $1,830 for 1979-80, and (�575) for 1980-81 are very close, and he suggested that revenues receided from rental of properties be rev'iewed, appraisals be made, and consideration be given to charging �a fair rental cost for fully furnished, fully equipped office space. Mr. Courtr 'ight said a rental �;of. space based on an appraisal would not.' inclixde costs of � operation and administration df .the City Hall , Mr. Courtright suggested (� that a Budget. Committee be formed very quickly to meet and come to terms O on certain policy questions before attempting to negotiate charges. Q Mayor Swanson said . she wisheci to comment that the draft of the Q Budget as presented does not include any provision for . salary increases � for the staff, and she said the Council should look for ways to cut . expenses and not depend on the $40, 000 reserved for emergencies as a source of money for salary increases. The Mayor said she is coricer�ed about the City's financial status and she agrees .that a Committee should be appointed to meet. with representatives of the Community Association and the Treasurer. Councilman Crocker said he does not share. the Mayor' s concern, since the budget is staying very close to the �projection. �Nith regard to salaries, Councilman Crocker said no increases will be � given before the start of the fiscal year, and it was his opinion that there will be a sufficient increase in revenues to cover salary, increases . Councilman Crocker said he would be willing to serve on the Budget Committee to meet with representatives of the Community Assoc 'iation and Mr. Courtright , and he suggested that tYie Mayor consider being a 'member. Mayor Swanson appointed Councilman Crocker to the Committee, and said she would also be a member, and that she would contact the President of the Rolling Hi11s. Community Association and ask �.that the�. Board of Dir:ectors be represented. . Mayor Swanson said a meeting wou3d be scheduled for the earliest possible date. _ PROPOSAL TO MODIFY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 1228 The Manager reported that at a recent meeting with the Board of Directors there was a discussion about providing space for Pdr. Stephen- . son, the Association Manager. A proposal was made to modify the City Hall by expanding the Association office, at the expense. of the Com- munity Association, by enlarging the office in a southerly direction. . Mrs. Clifton said that with the Council 's approval, she could contact Mr. Corwin Eberting, the architect who designed the building: Members o� the Council agreed to postpone consideration of expand�ng the facilities until the Council has an opportunity to discuss the matter with the Board of Directors. Further, Council- �_ man Crocker. said that he and Councilman Pernell, as members of a Committee to meet with Directors Bray and Pdokler on matters invol- ving the change of administration, would discuss the matter with them. ftEORGANIZATION POLICY 1315 Mayor Swanson said there are issues which must be resolved by the Committee, and because of the lateness of the hour she wished to identify the issues, and postpone discussion. The Mayor said the issues to be resolved include. use of City vehi.cles by the Association maintenance staff; training of Association staff by Gity staff. -7- . � ��6 January 28, 1980 . Mayor Swanson said the issues she wished Councilman Pernell as Personnel Officer to look into are sick leave, which can be accumulated to a ma�imum of 90 days if not used, according to Personnel Policy; also the vacation policy of five weeks for the City Manager , �vhich iri the past was between two bodies, and whether that should be continued; also Sec- tion 6 of Ordinance No. 86 with regard to appointment of an Acting Cit�r Manager in the absence of the City Manager should be discussed and resolved. Councilman Pernell said that as personnel Officer he would make recom- mendations to the Council . REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENS.ES BY ASSOCIATION 22/2. Mayor Swanson asked that the record show that at the City Council meeting on April 23, 1979 the Council agreed to pay 25% of the salary _ of Roger Vink, Maintenance Foreman , with the balance to be paid by the Corrmmunity Association. 8ince July 1 the City and Community Association have each been paying 50% of 1�r. Vink' s salary, and Mayor Swanson said she wished to request that the Association reimburse the City for 25% plus fringe benefits. Mrs. Clifton said the change was made when the budget was adopted for Fiscal 1979-80, and the explanation was made on , a supplemental page attached to the budget . Councilman Crocker said that he would advise that the issue not be raised, and that negotiations proceed without requesting reimbursement of charges already paid; Councilmen Heinsheimer and Pernell agreed. The Mayor said the Committee should use its best judgment . � " SOUTA BAY .CITIES ASSOCiATION MEETING 37 Mayor Swanson reported that at a recent meeting of the South Bay Cities Association, representatives of the cities were told that every city which has not designated an area for low cost housing in their General Plan is in violation and is liable to lawsuit . Cities were also advised that pooling of funds or allocation of funds to other cities is not permitted, and Housing and Community Development will � proceed with lawsuits against some cities. Guidelines will be applied, and cities will be expected to provide the number of low cost housing units specified. Mayor Swanson said Rolling Hills has not requested an extension of time to comply, and she asked the Council whether the extension should be requested, or whether the City should risk litigation. In a straw vote of the Council members agreed to do nothing. SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETING 89 Councilman Pernell reported that the meeting at La Cresta was well attended, and a Citizens ' Financial Committee presented an analysis which considered .income generation, Federal, State and Local, expenditure control, inventory control, cash management . The con� clusion of the Committee was that there are areas in which more income � could be gerierated, with the income going to certain functions which are now supported by the General Fund. The return of cash management was discussed, and the Committee indicated that there seems to be a lack of understanding of cash flow management . Councilman Pernell - said his personal opinion is �that the citizens are fighting a lost cause, and the decision to close La Cresta School has already heen made. Councilman Pernell gave the Mayor charts which were presented at the meeting, and asked that they be copied and given to the Mayors of the other cities at a meeting which has been scheduled for Thurs- day, January 31 . LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES, CITY MANAGERS DEPARTMENT MEETING 112 Councilman Crocker moved that the City Manager be authorized to attend the City Managers Department 1�4eeting of the League of Cali- fornia Cities in San Diego February 6 - 8, 1980.
