MEETING OF THE HERMOSA BEACH VEHICLE PARKING DISTRICT COMMISSION. The Regular Meeting of the City Council reconvened at the hour of 8:29 P.M. - 9 - Minutes 1-14-86. 9. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS AND REPORTS - CITY MANAGER None. 10. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS AND REPORTS - CITY COUNCIL a. Report - Coastal Commission public hearing for the General Plan amendment and proposed development of the South School site. Memorandum from Planning Director Michael Schubach dated January 6, 1986. Mayor Wood declared a conflict of interest - en- gineer of record on the project. Mayor Pro Tem DeBellis assumed the gavel. Coming forward to speak to Council were: Richard Gonzales, 465 - 26th Place, Manhattan Beach, representing the firm that was hired by the developer to prepare the Coastal Plan Amendment, asking that Council allow this proj- ect to continue with no more roadblocks. Frances Parker, 521-1/2 Lorna Drive, disappointed in Council's actions regarding decreased density. Hank Doerfling, former Councilman, stated that the legislative intent when that range was enacted was meant to give the -Council discretion. Also he felt Council should notify the Coastal Commission regarding the proposed Coastal Plan Amendment. Dave Jones, 334 Culper Court, felt that the City Attorney gave the Council bad advice and Councilman Barks so advised the Coastal Commis- sion. He also feels that the South School site is spot zoning. Wilma Burt, 1152 - 7th Street, felt if the City was going bankrupt, it should go bankrupt with fewer houses. Jerry Compton, Planning Commissioner, 832 - 7th • Street, felt Council should let this project go through or ask the developer to come back with new plans with a lower density. Councilman Barks replied to a statement by Mayor Pro Tem DeBellis that he did not accurately state the Council's position on this matter. He read from the minutes of the City Council meeting of December 16, 1985 at which time he was instructed to "speak before the Coastal Commission articulat- ing that the City Council, under advise of the City Attorney, was forced to approve the subject proj- ect, therefore, Council would like to appeal to the Coastal Commission for reduction of the number of allowable units." - 10 - Minutes 1-14-86 Mayor Pro Tem DeBellis stated, for the record, that he feels this developer "has been jerked around" and should be allowed to continue with the project as it has been approved by the Council and for- warded to the Coastal Commission. City Attorney Lough addressed the developer's request for a "Grandfather Clause". He stated there is no ordinance in effect lowering the densi- ty, therefore, there is nothing for the "Grandfather Clause" to attach to. His opinion remains the same on the density - 40 units to the acre, and that the range of from 26 to 40 does not mean that the City can set the density anywhere within that range. The City is currently under orders from -the Superior Court to implement the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan the way it was written. Action: To receive and file this report. Motion Brutsch,-second Cioffi AYES - Barks, Brutsch, Cioffi, DeBellis NOES - None ABSTAIN - Mayor Wood b. Request for status report on SCRTD proceedings by Councilmember Brutsch. Action: To accept Councilman Brutsch's recommenda- tions as follows: 1. To direct the City Attorney to give us a -legal opinion on what authority the RTD has to cut our route. 2. What is the status of the Proposition A monies presently used to fund RTD? 3. Could we combine some South Bay lines to in- crease ridership and enhance cash flow? 4. Could we use HERMAN or Dial -a -Ride to pick up Hermosa riders at designated satellite stops for delivery to a newly designated RTD pickup station for transport downtown? 5. 40% of Prop A monies are allocated to LACTC for discretionary transportation uses. We should write immediately to them and request that they assist in funding South Bay RTD routes. 6. Because there is strength in numbers, this topic should be brought before the South Bay , Cities Association and they be requested to join our efforts to thwart RTD's effort to cut our lines.
