7. PETITION AND PROPOSED EMERGENCY ORDINANCE DECLARING A
MORATORIUM ON SEPARATION OF OJMBINED LOTS. Memorandum from
Building and Safety Director William Grove dated June 6,
1984.
City Manager Meyer stated that he had directed the Building
Department, from 4:00 P.M. on Thursday until Wednesday
morning, June 13, not to issue any building -related permits
on said potential merger of substandard lots pending the
discussion of the City Council and their action.
City Attorney Post advised Council that it was permissible
for the City Manager to put a hold on all Building Permits
pending the hearing of this issue before Council. He
stated there is case law on this and the underlying princi-
pal that is stated often in land use law is that building
should occur according to the current standards, the
current standards being the standards Council is considering
this evening.
The staff report was presented by Building Director Grove.
When asked by Council about the number of affected lots,
Mr. Grove stated that his predecessor had made a " guesstimate"
of 1500-2000.
City Attorney Post stated that this Emergency Ordinance
would require unanimous vote on the waiver of full reading
of the ordinance and -four affirmative votes on the
adoption of the ordinance. He --also advised that the two
projects awaiting building permits would be ineligible to
receive these permits if this moratorium is enacted - they
would have no vested right to proceed. When questioned by
Council, Mr. Post also advised that the City has the right
to withhold demolition permits during period of this
Emergency Ordinance.
-8- Minutes 6-12-84
4
Mr. Post stated that the rationale for withholding
demolition permits is that it could lead to a use which
would be inconsistent with the proposal to merge the lots.
During the interim period, if it could be determined that
the purpose for the demolition was not inconsistent with
the merger of the lots, an exception could be made for that
purpose. He also noted that ownership is determined at the
time notices are sent out of the intent to merge. Any
transfer occuring after that time is not recognized.
Speaking from the audience were:
In favor -
Bob Fleck, 620 - 24th Place, spoke on behalf of over 300
Hermosa Beach residents who ask for a moratorium on
separation of combined lots. He read a statement into
the record including highlights of sections of the
General Plan and the California Government Code.
Councilman Wood advised that he has had a fiduciary
relationship with the next speaker and requested a ruling
from the City Attorney as to a conflict of interest.
City Attorney Post stated that what Council is considering
affects the general public and, therefore, does not
constitute a financial interest.
Speaking against the emergency ordinance:
Mark Cavanaugh, 944 - 14th Place, stated he felt that
this issue has no affect on the public safety, health
or welfare. He presented a map of the City to the Council
with potential lots marked. He noted there were
approximately 200 lots available of which
70% have existing houses on them worth more than the lots.
Speaking on behalf of Mr. Fred Kasner, one of the
individuals who was denied a building permit because of the
proposed moratorium, was Steve Kaplan. He requested a
special exception for Mr. Kasner's project.
