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 or, the project. Mayor Pro Tem
DeBellis assumed the gavel.
Coming- fo-rw-ard 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 Loma 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
order -S. 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.

our route.
2. What is the status of the Proposition A monies

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.

on surplus school property legislation (AB 2198).
Mayor Wood advised Council that the Committee was
unaware that local school districts have the right
to circumvent the local jurisdiction process with
regard to building permits and other stuctures on
property that would normally require special per-
mission. He pointed out to them that we had had a
project installed whereby our sewers and fire hy-
drants were overloaded due to a development project
over which we had no control and there were viola-
tions of our zoning ordinance which were validated
by a State agency. Further they were aware of the
taxation theory that the property should only be
valued at the original cost plus the lost oppor-
tunity cost of the capital invested rather than the
full and fair market value. Also that the City
should retain 211 of the rights with regard to
zoning. Further, there was an implied promise both
made by the School District and the local govern-
ments that most of the portions of a school would
remain recreationally oriented use and that they
should seriously consider allowing or requiring the
schools to get fair market value only for those
portions which are already developed with
structures.

e. Oral report from Mayor Wood re. December 11 hearing
on surplus school property legislation (AB 219m--
Mayor Wood advised Council that the Committee was
unaware that local school districts have the right
to circumvent the local jurisdiction process with
regard to building permits and other stuctures on
property that would normally require special per-
mission. He pointed out to them that we had had a
project installed whereby our sewers and fire hy-
drants were overloaded due to a development project
over which we had no control and there were viola-
tions of our zoning ordinance which were validated
by a State agency. Further they were aware of the
taxation theory that the property should only be
valued at the original cost plus the lost oppor-
tunity cost of the capital invested rather than the
full and fair market__value. Also that the City
should retain all of the rights with regard to
zoning. Further, there was an implied promise both
made by the School District and the local govern-
ments that most of the portions of a school would
remain recreationally oriented use and that they
should seriously consider allowing or requiring the
schools to get fair market value only for those
portions which are already developed with
structures.
Action: To receive and file Mayor Wood's oral
report.
