CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: July 19, 2022 AGENDA ITEM: ORIGINATING DEP: City Attorney CITY MANAGER: 1t&,LK PREPARED BY: Scott Campbell, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Findings to Continue to Hold Remote TeleconferenceNirtual City Council Meetings Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Determine that the COVID-19 state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor still exists and has been considered by the City Council in deciding to continue to have teleconference meetings and that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19, and that as a result of theCOVID-19 emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.REPORT SUMMARY: Traditionally, the Brown Act allows for teleconference or virtual meetings,provided that the physical locations of the legislative body’s members joining by teleconference are posted on the agenda, that those locations are open to the public and that a quorum of the members is located within its jurisdiction. Newly enacted AB 361 provides an exception to theseprocedures in order to allow for fully virtual meetings during proclaimed emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since March of 2020 and the issuance of Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended portions of the Brown Act relating to teleconferencing, the City Council has had virtual meetings without having to post the location of the legislative body members attending virtually.Most public agencies have been holding public meetings using virtual platforms since this time.
In June of 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21. which provided that the exceptions contained in EO N-29-20 would sunset on September 30, 2021.
On September 10, 2021, the Legislature adopted AB 361, which allows public agencies to hold fully virtual meetings under certain circumstances without the posting of the agenda from each location a legislative body member is attending. Governor Newsom signed the bill into law on September 16, 2021. Because it contained an urgency provision, it took immediate effect.
Specific Findings Required under AB 361Under AB 361, the City Council can hold virtual meetings without providing notice of the City Council’s teleconference location if the City Council makes the determination that there is aGovernor-proclaimed state of emergency, which the City Council will consider in their determination, and one of two secondary criteria listed below exists:
1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19; or

2. The City Council determines that requiring a meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees.
COVID-19 continues to present an imminent threat to the health or safety of members of thepublic, and the Governor’s declaration of a COVID-19 emergency still exists. Although vaccines are now widely available, many people in the State and County are still not fully vaccinated and remain susceptible to infection. The disease can still spread rapidly through person-to-person contact and those in close proximity. Further, more contagious variants of the disease are now present in the State and County, the most predominant of which is a new variant of the Omnicron variant. The County of Los Angeles recently re-instituted some mandates given the rise in casesand deaths nationally and public health officials have indicated that they may reinstitute certain mask requirements if cases continue to rise. The City’s economy is dependent upon visitors to the island, the presence of which, increases the likelihood of transmission of the disease. Also, having members of the public attend council meetings at locations where council members are in attendance due to their desire to avoid exposure to COVID-19 poses an imminent risk to thehealth or safety of attendees.
Re-A uthorization is Required Within 30 Days
The City Council made the findings listed above at its June 21, 2022 City Council meeting.
Consistent with the provisions of Government Code Section 54953(e), the findings must be made every 30 days ‘after teleconferencing for the first time” under AS 361. Thus, if the City Council desires to continue to meet remotely without having to post the location of each teleconference location, the City Council must again find that the COVID-19 emergency still exists and that one of the two following findings can be made: that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19, or, that aresult of the COVID-19 emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. Because these findings must be made every thirty (30) days, the CityCouncil will have to make these findings at its upcoming August 16, 2022 meeting and thirty (30) days thereafter.
It is recommended that the City Council make these findings.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will have to follow the Brown Act provisions that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.FOLLOW UP ACTION: That the City Council make the findings under AS 361 at its August 16, 2022 City Council meeting.

The City Manager and SEIU representatives negotiated revised contract terms restoring the benefits rescinded in the emergency revisions. Additionally, to counter the wage freeze that has been in place since 2020, the new MOUs provide all employees covered by the MOUs a wage increase annually for the terms of the agreements. Per negotiations, once ratified, anywage increases will be retroactive to June 29, 2022.
The SEIU Harbor Unit and SEUI Municipal Employee Unit MOUs align with IAFF, Management and Confidential/Unrepresented labor associations MOUs approved and adopted by the CityCouncil on May 3, 2022.

Operations
• Dr. Warren has reduced her hours at CIMC to one or two days per month.• Dr. McGroarty was nominated and has accepted the position of Chief of Staff.
We congratulate him on his new role,
• We have been recruiting a family practice physician due to Dr. Warren reducing her days on Catalina. We have identified an excellent candidate that desire to come to be part of the Catalina community. We have entered into negotiations with her and hope to have her on the team soon.
• We have entered into agreement to employ a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMIINP). This is a wonderful opportunity of us to he able to reduce the amount of telemedicine contracting for a psychiatrist. It will inaddition allow for patients to build an in—person relationship with their provider.
The addition of a PMHNP in combination with family practice providers and our psychologist will help many patients with their mental health needs. • On June 71 1 met with Chad Lefteris, CEO of UC Irvine, to discuss our relationship and see if there are additional opportunities for us to partner on programs.
• We have contracted with Highmark Companies to help CIMC qualify and apply for Employee Retention Credits. Under recent legislation, companies that obtained Payment Protection Plan (PPP) loans may also qualify for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) for 2020 and an enhanced ERC for 2021.Highmark has a fee of 8% for funds that are received, and they believe we may be eligible for up to $1.0 million.
• We have contracted with Healthstream to better organize CIMC’s policies and contracts. This will allow for CIMC to upload all contracts and policies that will track and send updates to those responsible for keeping them current. • We have implemented Healthstream at CIMC to ensure that staff receive the needed annual training to have the skill sets in the ever-changing landscape of quality and compliance issues that employees have to navigate. Training is online and provides tracking resources to ensure employees have completed required training.
• We have contacted OSI-IPD to provide approval for renovating the old business office and configuring it to be the new home of our laboratory department. This will provide CIMC with the space necessary to improve testing capabilities and

o GE heart monitors -S115,321o D1NAMAP’’ SuperSTATTM \IBP delivers proven XIBP technology, utilizing GE-patented “smart cuff” pressure control to improve measurement time, patient comfort, and artifact rejection, all while retaining the classic DINAMAP accuracy,
o TruSignalT1 5p02 gives you the ability to reject motion artifacts and detection even at low perfusion.
o EK-Pro arrhythmia algorithm provides simultaneous four-lead analysis that helps optimize the detection and analysis of arrhvthrnias, helpingensure no cardiac event goes unnoticed. The algorithm helps distinguish noise and artifacts from true beats, reduces false alarms, and enablesuninterrupted FCC monitoring even in the event of a single electrode failure.

Strategic Planning. As part of the current facilit’ replacement project, it is important that CIMC has initiated a strategic planning process to develop a strategic plan that will support the facility replacement plan. As part of thestrategic planning process CIMC may address these issues:
o A re-assessment of organizational mission and purposes. o Development of a vision that describes future success.o An analytical review of the current status and trajectory of market conditions, including demographic, competitive perspectives including market share analysis, population-based use rate tretds, and future changes in supply side market characteristics.
o Clinical service-specific reviews of existing volume trends, new service opportunities, and specific options for competing or affiliating with other providers in the market.
o An evaluation of strategic options. This frequently takes the form of a scenario planning exercise that models alternative strategic options and their implications for achieving organizational purpose.
o An analysis of capital structure, financial performance indicators, and future investment requirements and funding strategies for strategic execution. o Development of a strategy map and key performance indicators for communicating and tracking performance around the strategic Patient Satisfaction
• Press Ganey surveys are sent out on a regular basis to patients that are seen in the clinic, emergency, and outpatient services. We greatly appreciate patient feedback. This data will help us understand our patient’s needs and help CIMC change to provide a wonderful experience when visiting CIMC.

Included with this staff report is a list of the addresses from the Los Angeles County Assessor that received the public notice mailings for the November20! 2019 and March 16, 2022 Planning Commission Meetings. Also included are copies of the public notices as they appeared in the Islander, posted outside of City Hall and mailed to real property owners within 300 feet of 261 E.
Whittley.
On April 20, 2022, the Planning Commission took action on a request for approval of a Site Plan (Section 9-8.201 et seq. of the Avalon Municipal Code (L(AMC!!)) and a Setback Variance at 261 E. Whittley for the ongoing remodel of a duplex in the Medium Density Residential zone, 2 categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines — Existing Facilities.
The April 20, 2022 Planning Commission Staff Report noted the plans approved by the Planning Commission on November 20, 2019 included the remodel of an existing nonconforming structure encroaching up to three (3) feet of the rear property line and directly adjacent to the western property line, where the standard setback requirement for this zone is ten (10) feet. The subsequent new construction maintains a three (3) foot setback. The original construction plan included remodeling the rear property with the intent of maintaining its nonconforming status.
However, after issued a building permit on September 14, 2021! it was determined that thenecessary improvements to retain the second building were infeasible! and the entire structure was demolished.
AMC 9-8.703 (a) establishes: “A nonconforming building or structure may be continuously maintained provided there is no alteration, addition or enlargement of any area! space or volume of the structure As approved! necessary improvements were considered infeasible without demolition of the structure, and the original ‘nonconforming” structure and the proposed new nonconforming structure maintained nearly identical footprints, City Staff recommended to the Planning Commission during the March 16! 2022 and April 20! 2022 meetings that the setback variance be granted as the renovated building complies with AMC 9-8.703 (a). The Planning Commission accepted Staff’s recommendation! approved the Site Plan and Setback Varianceby Resolution 22-08.On May 3, 2022 Charles Canby, and other surrounding property owners, filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision, requesting that the City Council hear the Project de novoat a public hearing.
Article 8.6 of the Planning and Zoning Code (“Appeals”) states:
a) Within 15 days after the receipt by the applicant for a variance or conditional use permit, or receipt by the owner or operator of a use which was the subject of a public hearing for revocation or modification! or notice of the action of the Commission! any person dissatisfied with the action of the Commission may file with the City Clerk an appeal fromsuch action. b) Upon receiving a notice of appeal, the City Council may:
1. Affirm the action of the Commission; or
2. Require a transcript or recording of the testimony, and all other evidence upon which the Commission made its decision, and after receiving such evidence take such action as, in its opinion, is indicated by such evidence alone; or
3. Refer the mailer back to the Commission, with or without instructions for further proceedings; or
4. Set the matter for hearing before itself. At such hearing, it shall hear and decide the case de novo.
Staff supports the Planning Commission’s consideration and approval of the setback varianceand the finding made by the Planning Commission as the process complied with the appropriate procedure and publically noticing process as outlined in the Government Code and AMC. Toconfirm:
‘l
1. The Planning Commission considered the request at two duly noticed regularly scheduled meetings (March 16, 2022 and April 20, 2022) and at both meetings they were able toconsider all information provided by City Staff, including analysis provided in Staff Report.construction plans, and written comments provided by neighbors.
2. Both duly noticed regularly scheduled meetings were open to the public at which time members of the public were able to provide oral testimony regarding the project for the Planning Commissioner consideration.
3. The request was considered over two meetings to provide Planning Commissioners adequate time to thoroughly consider the request.
4. Planning Commission adopted Resolution 22-08, granting the variance and noting the projects exemption for CEQA, compliance with AMC 9-8,203, and that the ‘structural footprint will remain almost exactly as it has existed since original construction.” GOAL ALIGNMENT: N/A

Reference: Requesting Denial of a Set-back variance at 261 East Whittley that was granted by the Planning Commission on April 20, 2022

At the planning commission meeting on April 20, 2022 the Avalon Planning Commission granted Scott Vanevery of 261 East Whittley a setback variance from the required set-back of ten feet as required in the Avalon Municipal Code (AMC) zoning rules. The vote was two against and three in favor of granting the variance. (For: Kathy Smith, Bart Glass, You Say; Against: Sandy Putnam, Bruce Fertig) We are appealing this decision and asking the City Council to deny this variance, Our appeal to you is based on the following:
1. Non-conforming existing structure: Behind the main house at 262 East Whittley there was a non-conforming two-story structure that encroached approximately seven feet into the required ten-foot set-back bordering the neighbors oi Whittley Avenue.
2. Permission to Renovate on July 17, 2019; the Vaneverys applied for and were granted permission to remodel a four-bedroom single family home and to add 974 square feet to the project,
3. Permission for Remodel November 20, 2019: An application was made to modify a duplex for a chimney height variance, adding 125 square feet, changing a root slope and adding two off Street autoette parking spaces was made. (Note that structures change from a duplex, to a single-family home and back to a duplex in the applications)
4. Demolition without a Permit: After receiving approval for remodeling and during the process of the approved remodel, the owners, Vaneverys, chose to tear down the entire two story, non-conforming structure that had encroached into the required ten-foot set- back that borders their Whittley Avenue neighbors. The demolition took place in abbut April of 2021. The structure was torn down without a demolition permit. The old structure contained hazardous mMerials. In the process of demolishing the building, hazardous and non-hazardous materials were mixed and all of the building materials had to be treated as hazardous. The owners were fined.
5. Did not leave standing wall per AMC when demolished: The owners did not leave any standing wall or structure in order to maintain their encroachment variance. See AMC Article 7, 9-8.702
& Enlarged a nonconforming building encroaching in a set-back: After the demolition, the owners submitted plans for building a duplex in the general area of the demolished structures. The plans showed a new structure, larger than the old structure, extending into the required ten-foot set back. The extent of the encroachment on their new plans was for a larger building, slightly higher than the demolished structure, and extending more linear feet along the Whittley Avenue neighbors than the old structure. In summary, the new plan encroached more into the required set-back ri both area and in volume. In this neighborhood, a ten-foot set-back is required. See AMC Article 7, 9-
8.702 (a)(2) which says that a nonconforming use is terminated when it is increased or enlarged in size.
7. Granted/Gave a set-back variance without a public hearing: After the demolition, the City of Avalon Planning Department, without a public hearing, granted permission for the owners to proceed with new construction and to build into the required ten-foot set back that parallels Whittley Ave. It appears that this permit was issued September 14, 2021. The Planning Department did not follow the AMC, Section 9-7.403 (b)(8) which specifies ‘no structure or part of a structure not specified above may project into required setbacks without granting a variance under finding consistent with State Law. In addition, the planning department did not follow the AMC which says that a nonconforming use is terminated when it is increased or enlarged in size.
8. Remodel versus New Construction Permit: A permit for this project was issued as a remodel versus new construction. After demolishing part of the house, 1250 square feet of the old house remained. The area of the proposed new construction is about 1364 square feet The area of the proposed new construction of this new house/duplex is greater than 50% and we believe that this building permit should have been issued as new construction and not as a remodel and should follow all of the rules pertaining to new construction.
9. ConstructIon was questioned and a request for a variance was applied for: There was a planning commission meeting held on March 16 and it was continued to April20 2022. At the April 20, 2022 a variance was granted by the planning commissioners to permit the Vaneverys to encroach seven feet into the required set-back. It is this April 20, 2022 approval for a variance that we are appealing.
10. Lacking details and time to review plans for Planning Commissioners: At the April 20, 2022 Planning Commission meeting) the Planning Department handed out the package of information for this variance to the CommLssioners at the meeting, just at the very commencement of discussion for this agenda item. We do not believe that the commissioners had adequate time to thoroughly understand the project or carefully study fourteen pages of drawings or read citizen’s letters opposing this variance in just five to ten minutes. The plans that were handed out to the Commissioners were dated 5-9-19 and lack details showing (1)
A chimney and sloped roof per a past
building permit that was given for this house on 10/30/19, (2) The required off street parking for two golf carts, (3)
A setback on the up-hill side of the property adjacent to the Lowders at 265 East Whittley. (4) The plans that were given to the Commissioners were the incorrect plans, out of date plans. The Commissioners were given plans for a single-family home, not a Duplex.
11. Planning Department “Staff Recommendations” for granting a varIance:
a. Same footprint: The staff said that granting a variance will not be detrimental to the public or property because the foot print is almost exactly as it has been since it has existed since original construction. We believe that the new construction is detrimental to the public because it will be a twenty-foot, shear, flat wall, just three feet from the Whittley Avenue properties. The extent of the length and volume and size of the structure reduces the “openness” of the neighbors back yards. The encroachment effects neighbor’s property value, Generally, the more open space around a propertythe more valuable is the property. If there are two identical properties, one wIth a large structure three feet from it and the other without a large structure three feet from it, the one with the more open space is more valuable. Through the years it was of no use for us to complain about the old nonconforming structure because there was nothing we could do about it. However, now that it has be demolished, we do not want to see another nonconforming structure taking its place.
b. Adverse effects/quality of life: The planning department staff report said that granting the variance will have no adverse effects on neighboring property and safety. We say that the variance will have an adverse effect on neighboring property because the twenty-foot-high wall adjacent to 252 will shade its back patio and it will shade the backyard at 306 Whittley. So often we talk about how we want to improve the quality of life for Avalon residents. Putting a twenty-foot-high wall just three feet from a neighbor, when it is not necessary, is going against improving the quality of life for the public.
c. Fire Safety: Regarding “Safety”, although the new structure may be mad5 of more modern and more fire-resistant materials, the homes around the building are not. Every effort should always be made to provide adequate space around structures to minimize the spread of fire and maintain access for fighting fires at a particular home and the surrounding homes in a neigh horhood.
d. Avalon Fire Chief: Charles Canby spoke with the Avalon fire Chief, Mike Alegria, on about April 27 or 28 and was told by the Chief that he did not recall being asked by the Planning Department to review or give his approval for this variance at 261 East Whittley. e. Unnecessary hardship: The staff said that the application of the zoning rules will place unnecessary hardship because the owners would have to halt construction, and redraw and resubmit building plans. The Vaneverys have applied for a building permit for a duplex. The plans the Vaneverys have submitted are for a single-family home. If they are not building the type of building that they submitted plans for, that is a duplex, they should halt construction, and submit plans for a duplex and not a single-family home.
Having to redraw and resubmit plans is hardly hardship for the Vaneverys compared to the neighbors having to live next to a nonconforming flat side building for years to come.
12. HardshIp: The owners, Vaneverys have not proved hardship or given a justification or why they need a variance of the AMC’s zoning laws.
13. More than enough building area: The area for building a structure at 261 East Whittley is approximately 5230 square feet. The lot is easily large enough to accommodate all of the 2950 square foot building of the owner’s desires, maintain the legal set-back and still have a large area for landscaping.
14. Setting a precedent: Granting this variance would set a precedent for: 1. Tearing down an entire structure while not leaving a standing wall and being able to maintain a nonconforming encroachment and violating the AMC. 2. Asking for and being granted a variance without showing hardship or rational justification.
15. Following zoning rules and bringing property into compliance: We, as property owners in the city of Avalon have an expectation that the AMC zoning rules will be followed. The property at 261 East Whittley has adequate building area to suit the owner’s needs and there appears to be no reason to disregard the established zoning laws, especially in this case where all adjacent property owners object to granting this variance. This is an opportunity to bring a property into compliance versus regressing and making a property more noncompliant.

Dear Avalon City Council
We are writing to appeal the decision of the Avalon Planning Commission that granted a variance for the required 1 0-foot set back at 261 East Whittley Avenue at their meeting on 4/20/2022.
It is our understanding (as per the Avalon Planning Commission Staff report) that since the original structure has now been demolished, the legal non-conforming status of the original structure has been nulilfied.
The Slaft Report also stated that the Setback Variance in question for this project was not originally noticed, discussed or approved at either ci the past two (2) hearings prior to approval.
The Report goes on to describe that after being issued a building permit on 9/4/21, it was the owners ot the property at 261 East Whitfley who had determined that the necessary improvements needed to keep the second building were infeasible and they had made the decision to demolished the entire structure.
When the applicants decided to aher their plans and demolish the entire building! they immediately lost their legal non-contorming status. They also had the oppoltunlty to review the Avalon Municipat code regarding Setbacks along with various other City Building Codes and regulations; as does every other property owner in town.
Many of the surrounding property owners have long been familiar with the City of Avalon selback requirements. Through tue years, we have relied on our elected officials and City staff to uphold and maintain these known requirements when we made (what is for most people) the biggest investment in our lives, our homes.
The existing setback requirements as described in the AMC, have been well thought out through many years of planning by our city fathers. In addition to many other benefits, setbacks also provide a crucial buffer zone for the protection of adjacent properties tn the event of a fire or other emergency. Setbacks also provide a relatively sate access zone for lirelighters and emergency personnel. The safety aspect of setbacks is even rrore critical as The slope of the property increases. Throughout the years, many non-conforming properties have been slowly brought into compliance through attrition. Through no fault of the City, the property at 261 East Whittley has now clearly become one ol these cases.
The applicants of this one property at 261 East Whittley are now asking for special permission to construct a 20 high structure, within 3’ of the property line for their own personal gain and to the detriment of the surrounding property owners who have all vehemently objected to the granting of this variance. We have reviewed the plans and are familiar with the layout of the property in question. It appears that the property is adequately sized to accommodate a building plan that conforms to the 10’ setback requirement.
On the other hand we, and many of our surrounding neighbors, are not asking our city represenlahves For any special permission. We are only asking that yo honor and enlorce the existing rules to which we are all obliged to comply. Doing otherwise, and allowing this variance to stand, only appears to punish those who have faithfully Followed the City’s rules and it potentially dilutes the overall effectiveness of f he Avalon City Municipal Code.
Again, we respectfully request that you overturn the decision of the Avalon Planning Commission that (without a full corrpllrnent of members present) had narrowly granted the request for a Setback Variance at 261 East Whittley and take into consideration the appeals of the surrounding property owners who are asking that, in this case, the City Council adhere to the set back rules as per the Avalon MuniDipal Code.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, • .

Subject: Deny the variance
Avalon Mayor Marshal), Members of Avalon City
Council.
As an observer and an opinion to the issue at hand:
I have always felt that a variance should be heard and not always granted. In my view a variance could be granted for extreme hardship, Ic. ‘lack of buildable sq. footage and the precedent of like conditions.’ Neither of which has occured on this building site. As to the case of hardship I see none.
Consider the facts: 1. Any grandfathered status or right to grandfathered status was lost at the time of the complete demolition and to think otherwise is an illusion. There has been a lot of finger pointing yet the facts are the facts. 2. This building site, as an empty lot, is larger than most existing residential buildable tots. 3. The idea that the delays are in any way a financial hardship, is out-of bou. The granting of this variance was a precedent setting vote and DOES open the door for future similar votes thereby setting aside the ‘ RULE OF LAW.’ Any future applicant could site this decision and base their hardship argument for a variance anplication based on this decision. The reasons I have stated would give me no choice but to deny the variance and vote NO.
Respectfully,

Regarding the setback plans for 261 East WhitNey:
Please do not grant anything less than what the current 10 Foot set backs are for this property, We the surrounding neighbors were not given proper notice of any changes to the Legal setbacks.
Since the existing building that was close to my property line at 248, 250 Whittley was demolished it is my understanding that once the owners remove and Demo the house then they lose all rights of any encroaching into the setback, Please take this opportunity to re-establish the legal setbacks on this new construction duplex.
Thank you,

Affirm the action of the Planning Commission; b.) Require a transcript or recording of the testimony, and all otherevidence upon which the Commission made its decision, and after receiving such evidence takesuch action as, in its opinion, is indicated by such evidence alone; c.) Refer the matter back to the Commission, with or without instructions for further proceedings; or d.) Continue the matterfor hearing on another date before itself. (Avalon Municipal Code Section 9-8.601) REPORT SUMMARY: On April 20, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Avalon took action on a request for approval of a Site Plan (Section 9-8.201 et seq. of the Avalon Municipal Code (“AMC”)) and a Setback Variance at 261 E. Whittley for the ongoing remodel of a duplexin the Medium Density Residential zone, categorically exempt from environmental review underSection 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines — Existing Facilities.
The April 20, 2022 meeting was the fourth time the Planning Commission heard an issue regarding the 261 E. Whittley Property:
- July 17, 2019 — A Public Hearing was conducted for Site Plan review to renovate an existing duplex with four bedrooms into a four bedroom single family dwelling. The project included the addition of 974 square feet.
- November 20, 2019 — Application for a Site Plan! Height Variance (for a chimney) and Costal Development Permit.
- March 16, 2022 — A Public Hearing was conducted to consider a Setback Variance and Site Plan review. Consideration of the request was continued to the next regular PlanningCommission Meeting. - April20, 2022— The Public Hearing was continued and a Setback Variance was approved via PC Resolution No. 22-08, which approved the Variance and Site Plan while finding the project exempt from environmental review.
The April 20, 2022 Planning Commission Staff Report noted the plans approved by the Planning Commission on November 20, 2019 included the remodel of an existing nonconforming structure encroaching up to three (3) feet of the rear property line and directly adjacent to the western property line, where the standard setback requirement for this zone is ten (10) feet. The subsequent new construction maintains a three (3) foot setback. The original construction plan included remodeling the rear property with the intent of maintaining its nonconforming status.
However, after issued a building permit on September 14, 2021, it was determined that the 1 necessary improvements to retain the second building were infeasible, and the entire structure was demolished. The owner’s intent was to move forward with the construction as previously reviewed and approved.
AMC 9-8.703 (a) establishes: “A nonconforming building or structure may be continuously maintained provided there is no alteration, addition or enlargement of any area, space or volume of the structure..” As the approved, necessary improvements were considered infeasible without demolition of the structure, Staff recommendation to the Planning Commission duringthe March 16, 2022 and April 20,2022 meetings maintained that the renovated building complies with AMC 9-8.703 (a). The Planning Commission accepted Staff’s recommendation, approvedthe Site Plan and Setback Variance by Resolution 22-08.
On May 3, 2022 Charles Canby, and other surrounding property owners, filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision, requesting that the City Council hear the Project de novo at a public hearing.
Article 8.6 of the Planning and Zoning Code (Appeals”) states:
a) Within 15 days after the receipt by the applicant for a variance or conditional use permit, or receipt by the owner or operator of a use which was the subject of a public hearing for revocation or modification, or notice of the action of the Commission, any person dissatisfied with the action of the Commission may file with the City Clerk an appeal fromsuch action. b) Upon receiving a notice of appeal, the City Council may:
1. Affirm the action of the Commission; or
2. Require a transcript or recording of the testimony, and all other evidence upon which the Commission made its decision, and after receiving such evidence take such action as, in its opinion, is indicated by such evidence alone; or
3. Refer the matter back to the Commission, with or without instructions for further proceedings; or
4. Set the matter for hearing before itself. At such hearing, it shall hear and decide the case de novo.
Staff supports the Planning Commission’s consideration and approval of the setback variance and the finding made by the Planning Commission based on the following:
1. The Planning Commission considered the request at two duly noticed regularly scheduled meetings (March 16, 2022 and April 20, 2022) and at both meetings they were able to consider all information provided by City Staff, including analysis provided in Staff Report,construction plans, and written comments provided by neighbors.
2. Both duly noticed regularly scheduled meetings were open to the public at which time members of the public were able to provide oral testimony regarding the project for the Planning Commissioner consideration.
3. The request was considered over two meetings to provide Planning Commissioners adequate time to thoroughly consider the request.
4. On April20, 2022 Planning Commission accepted Staff’s recommendation to approve the Site Plan and Setback Variance.
2 5. Planning Commission adopted Resolution 22-08, granting the variance and noting the projects exemption for CEQA, compliance with AMC 9-8.203, and that the structural footprint will remain almost exactly as it has existed since original construction.” GOAL ALIGNMENT: N/A
FISCAL IMPACTS: Any expenses incurred by the City in the preparation of the appeal arereimbursable by the Applicant.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The subject propertyowner’s entitlements will not become effective until a final decision is made. Should the appeal be upheld, the project will not move forward as proposed. The applicant may revise the Project to address any findings supporting the City Council’s denial.
FOLLOW UP ACTION: Implement City Council direction.

Variance;
According to Avalon Municipal Code (AMC) Section 9-8.703(a). the legal nonconformance withrespect to the rear setback of the original structure -since demolished —has been nullified. AMC Section 9-7.403(b)(8) specifies “no structure or part ofa structure not specified above may project into required setbacks without the granting of a variance under findings consistent with State law and this title.” Current applications must adhere to all current local/state/federal regulations,including the Brown Act, which sets guidelines for the opportunity of public comment. Since the need for a Setback Variance (allowing the structure to encroach seven (7) feet into the requiredten (10) foot rear setback). was not noticed, discussed. or approved at either of the past two (2)hearings, staff has prepared this additional report with the intent of allowing the project to move forward with the correct entitlements and appropriate Level of public review and is recommending approval of the variance based on the findings below.
In order to approve a Variance the Avalon Municipal Code Section 9-8.405 requires that the Planning Commission make the following findings:
a) The strict application ofthe zoning ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship asfolloivs:The home owner would have to halt construction, modify the existing building plans that werepreviously approved, resubmit to the City and complete an additional plan check. b,) There are exceptional circumstances that apply to development ofsaidproperty which do not apply to other property in the neighborhood. While the property doesn’t qualify as a “hillside lot” according to its front/rear elevations, the topography varies throughout and slopes dramatically at this location, which contributed to the overall instability of the preexisting structure. Despite theproperty owner’s original intent to maintain the preexisting structure’s nonconfonnity, the relocation and ultimate demolition of the entire building resulted from exceptional circumstances.c) The granting ofthis Variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or neighborhood property because: The structural footprint will remain almost exactly as it has existed since original construction.
ci) Granting ofthis Variance will not be contrary to the objectives ofthe Local Coastal Programas adopted because: A NOFA was filed to the California Coastal Commission in 2019 for theentire scope of work.
Site Plan:The project requires site plan approval as the requirement of a variance disqualifies it as a “minorrenovation” as defined in the rn unicipal code. necessitating Plarming Commission review. AMC Section 9-8.203 requires that the Site Plan be approved based upon the following factors andprinciples. These factors and conesponding explanations are below:
(a) Every use, development ofland and application of development standards shall take place in compliance with all applicable provisions ofthis title. The proposed project complies with all the dcvclopnwnt standards fir the Medium Density zone with the exception of 11w non— conlonnirig setbacks — the nexus of this Variance application. (bj Evety use, development of land and application of development standards shall beconsidered on the basis of the suitability of the site for the par/icular use or development in— tended, and the total development, including the application of prescribed development standards, shall be so arranged as to avoid trqfJIc congestion, insure the protection ofpublic health, safety and general ire/fare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property and shall be in general accord with all elements of the General Plan. The proposed project involves an existing duplex in the Medium Density Residential zone. The use proposed is a principally permitted use in the zone per Section 9-5.302. The proposed project complies with the Avalon General Plan and its objectives of providing quality housing. After existing as nonconforming for close to 50 years, the granting of this application will have a limited effect on the character of the neighborhood. Furthermore. the full demo!ition!replaccment of the suhpar structure minimizes blight and abates any potential public safety hazards.
(c,) Every use, development ofland, application of development standards shall be considered on the basis of suitable and functional development design, but is not intended that such approval be interpreted to require a particular style or type of arch itecture. No change in the approved design is proposed.

Attachment 3: Public Comment
April 14, 2022To: City of Avalon Planning Commission Members and Staff From: Charles Canby, 242 Whittley Aye, Avalon, CA
Subject: 261 East Whittley, granting of variance for setback. lam against the Planning Commission granting a set back variance for the noted property.
1. I feel that we, residents of our neighborhood, have an expectation that planning and zoning rules will be followed and variances should not be granted to accommodate another person’s personal gains, desires and whims when they are unwarranted and to the detriment of others.
2. The proposed variance will shade the adjoining neighbors’ yards and homes and, will put a twenty-foot-high structure within three feet of their yards and view, and go against theirexpectation that when purchasing their property, buildings behind them would have a ten-footset-back.
3. I have reviewed the plans for this project and looked over the property to gain an understanding of the project.
4. The area/yard where the Vaneverys want to build is a huge area with plenty of square footage.
It is easily large enough to build a very large structure of equal square footage that they desire and still have open space for a yard without encroaching into the required ten-foot set back.
S. The Vaneverys want to encroach into the required setback. I speculate that they want to do so for a couple of reasons: First, to have a clear view of the ocean down the back lots of homes on East Whittley. Second, to not have to excavate or notch into the sloping hill side of their downhill sloping hack yard.
6. All of the existing homes on East Whittley have maintained the required ten-foot set back.
Granting this variance could start a precedence.
7. The Staff report said “c) The Granting of this Variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or neighborhood property because: The structural footprint will remain almost exactly as it has existed since original construction.” The short comings of this statement are: First, there are no original drawing or documentation showing the original construction. Second, theoriginal structure was said to be much smaller and lower in elevation, and was not twenty feet high and three feet from the neighbors back yards. The old structure could not be seen from the back yards of the Warrens and Franks.
8. The set-back of the old demolished building was “non-conforming”. Now is an opportunity to build a conforming building without variances.

BACKGROUND
Previous Review:
Planning Commission, July 17, 2019, PC# 2698:
A Public Hearing for a Site Plan to renovate an existing duplex with four bedrooms into a four bedroom single family dwelling. The project included the addition of 974 square feet.
Planning Commission, Nov. 20, 2019, PC #271!::\n application for a Site Plan. Height Variance (for a chimney) and Coastal Development Permitto remodel a duplex by adding 125 square feet total division between three bedrooms, changingthe roof pitch ad adding two off street autoette parking spaces. The project is in the Coastal Zoneand is subject to a Coastal Development Permit, which requires a public hearing and PlanningCommission approval. The Planning Commission will determine whether the project is within the 300 foot appealable seaward area boundary. The project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15301 of the state CEQA Guidelines — Existing Facilities.
Project Description:
A Public Hearing and consideration of a Resolution for an application for a Setback Variance and site plan review for the ongoing remodel of a duplex in the Medium Density Residential zone at261 East \Vhittley. No other changes are proposed to the plans included in PC Staff Report #2711approved November 20th 2019, with the exception of a setback variance.
DISCUSSION
The two-unit property was orisinally built as a
single family dwelling in 1950, later becoming amulti family residence in 1961. The previouslyapproved plans inc’uded the remodel of an existing nonconforming structure encroaching up
to three (3) feet of the rear property line and
directly adjacent to the western property line,where the standard setback requirement for this zone is ten (10) feet. The subsequent new
construction maintains a three (3) foot setback,which is currently in the stage of preliminaryfoundation preparation (excavation/footings). Theoriginal construction plan included remodeling the rear property with the intent of maintaining itsnonconforming status (see proposed demolition plan attached). However, after issued a buildingpermit on 9/14/21, it was determined that the necessary improvements to retain the second buildingwere infeasible, and the entire structure was demolished, The owner’s intent is to move forward I Ii the roust run on as pie rIOUSL3 reviewed and appruved I he3 have prepared the latIn wig statement to be included in this report:

GENERAL PLAN, LAND USE, AND ZONING COMPLIANCE
Variance:According to Avalon viunicipal Code (AMC) Section 9-8.703(a), the legal nonconforniarucc withrespect to the rear setback of the original structure -since demolished ---has been nullified, AMC Section 9-7.403(b)(8) specifies “no structure or part ofa structure not specified above may project !nto required setbacks without the eranting of a variance under findings consistent with State law and this title.” Current applications must adhere to all current local/state/federal regulations, incLuding the Brown Act, which sets guidelines fbi- the opportunity of pLuhlc comment. Since theneed for a Setback Variance (allowing the structure to encroach seven (7) feet into the required ten (10) foot rear setback), was not noticed, discussed. or approved at either of the past two (2) hearings, staff has prepared this additional report with the intent of allowing the project to move forward with the correct entitlements and appropriate level of public review and is recommending approval of the variance based on the findings below.
In order to approve a Variance the Avalon Municipal Code Section 9-8.405 requires that the Planning Commission make the following findings:a,) The stile! application ofthe zoning ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship asfollows:The home owner would have to halt construction. modify the existing building plans that were previously approved, resubmit to the City and complete an additional plan check.b,) There are exceptional circumstances th at apply to development ofsaidproperty which do not apply to other property in tIre neighborhood. While the property doesn’t qualify as a hillside lot” according to its front/rear elevations, the topography varies throughout and slopes dramatically at this location, which contributed to the overall instability of the preexisting structure, Despite the property owner’s original intent to maintain the preexisting structure’s nonconformity, therelocation and ultimate demolition of the entire building resulted from exceptional circumstances. c.) The granting of this Variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or neighborhood property because: the structural footprint will remain almost exactly as it has existed since original construction.
ci) Granting ofthis Variance will not be contrary to the objectives ofthe Local Coastal Programas adopted because: A NOFA was filed to the California Coastal Commission in 2019 for theentire scope of work.
Site Plan:
The project requires site plan approval as the requirement of a variance disqualifies it as a “minorrenovation” as defined in the municipal code, necessitating Planning Commission review. AMC Section 9-8.203 requires that the Site Plan be approved based upon the following factors and principles. These factors and corresponding explanations are below:
(a) Every use, development ofland and application of development standards shall take placein compliance with all applicable provisions of this title. The proposed project complies withall the development standards for the Medium Density zone with the exception of the nonconforming setbacks - the nexus of this Variance application. (b,) Every use, development of land and application of development standards shall be considered on the basis of the suitability of the site for the particular use or development in tended, and the total development, including the application of prescribed development standards, shall be so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, insure tire protection ofpublic health, safety and general welfare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property and shall be in general accord with all elements of the General Plan. The proposed project involves an existing duplex in the Medium Density Residential zone. The use proposed is a principallypermitted use in the zone per Section 9-5.302. The proposed project comphes with the Avalon General Plan and its objectives of providing quality housing. After existing as nonconforming for close to 50 years, the granting of this application will have a limited effect on the character of theneighborhood. Furthermore, the full demolition/replacement of the subpar structure minimizesblight and abates any potential public safety hazards.
Cc) Every use, development of land, application oJ development standards shall be cons ulered on the basis of suitable and functional development design, bitt is not uttended that suchapproval be interpreted to require a particular style or n’pe of architecture, No iiarg in the aprroved design is proposed.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
CEQA:
The proposed project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15301(e) of the State CEQA Guidelines -Existing Facilities.
“e) Additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase ofmore than:
(1) 50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition, or 2,500 square feet,whichever is less; or (2) 10.000 square feet if:
(A) The project is in an area where a]] public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and (B) The area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive” Coastal Development:
The project is located in the Coastal Zone, but outside of the 300’ appealable seaward area boundary, and was previously issued a Coastal Development Permit in 2019.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 22-08 (Attachment 1). which will:
1. Find the project exempt from environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15301 — Existing Facilities.
2. Approve the Variance application and legalize the ongoing construction activities. 3 Approve the proposed she plan with all applicable en1itements incorporated.

Location: 261 East Whittley
ARN: 7480-027-020
PC# 2711 Zone: Medium Density ResidentialFile Date: 10/30/2019 1 CEQA REVIEW
The proposed project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15301(e) of the State CEQA Guidelines — Existing Facilities. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
“(e) Additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase ofmore than: (1)50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition or 2500 square feet, whichever is less.”
DISCUSSION
The proposed project involves the remodel in a duplex by adding 125 square feet total divide between three bedrooms changing the roof pitch from flat to pitched and adding two off street autoette parking spaces. The lot is above a public street, so there is a point where the height envelope is perpendicular to the slope of the lot. The existing structure intrudesbeyond this perpendicular line. A portion of the roof deck railing and the deck on the third level will be beyond this perpendicular line and thus need a height variance.In orderto approve a Site Plan Review, the Avalon Municipal Code requires that the Planning Commission make three (3) findings under Avalon Municipal Code Section 9-8.203. These findings and corresponding explanations of the project’s compliance with these findings areas follows:
(a) Every use, development of land and application of development standards shall take place in compliance with all applicable provisions of this title.As proposed, the project footprint is not changing and the open deck do not constitute additional floor area for purposes of the Floor Area Ratio. The project does not increase density. The decks will require a variance, but is otherwise in compliance with applicable provisions of Title 9.
(b) Every use, development of land and application of development standards shall be considered on the basis of the suitability of the site for the particular use ordevelopment in-tended, and the total development, including the application of prescribed development standards, shall be so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, insure theprotection of public health, safety and general welfare, prevent adverse effects onneighboring property and shall be in general accord with all elements of the General Plan.
All of the surrounding properties are developed with single- or multi-family residences and most of them have multiple decks on the face of the structures. The subject property and allsurrounding properties are designated for Medium Density Residential use in the AvalonGeneral Plan. Therefore, the site is suitable for the proposed use and this use is consistent with existing and intended land use patterns, as set forth in the Avalon General Plan. (c) Every use, development of land, application of development standards shall be considered on the basis of suitable and functional development design, but is notintended that such approval be interpreted to require a particular style or type of 2 architecture. The design of the proposed decks are both suitahL and fuiictioiial for the intended purpose.
VAR IA N CE
In order to approve a Variance the Avalon Municipal Code Section 9-8404 requires that thePlanning Commission make the following findings:
a) The strict application of the zoning ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship as follows: The home owner would not be able to have the outside space for eachlevel of the home. The home is existing and the topography of the lot makes improvements very difficult.
b) There are exceptional circumstances that apply to development of said property which do not apply to other property in the neighborhood. There are other properties along Lower Terrace that also have limited frontage available for outside space and the City has allowed decks to be added due to the steep topography of the lots. c) The granting of this Variance will not be detrimentaijp4ftç ublic welfare_or neighborhood property because: The location of the decks are on North face of the structure and will not impact adjacent properties.
d) Granting of this Variance will not be contrary to the objectives of the Local Coastal Program as adopted because: The objective of the LCP is to protect coastal resources.
The location of the decks will not negatively impact coastal access either visually or physically.
RECOMMENDATION

ITEMS FOR POTENTIAL ACTION:5) Transient rental in the City: Additional information complied by the Planning and FinanceDepartment, including Saturation! Intensity of use. Discuss in changes in current transientrental code is needed.Per Commissions request, staff provided additional information to determining how saturationis handled and will help the commission decide if they would consider making changes. Director of Planning, Amanda Cook provided examples on how other cities handle saturation, as well as a spread sheet on the occupancy of transient rentals per days from properties managed byCatalina Island Vacation Rentals.
Director of Planning, Amanda Cook mentioned that BBK included information on how other cities handle saturation.
Director of Planning, Amanda Cook explained the work Planning and Finance have been working on putting together. Staff has created letters to properties that have not beencompliant with the rules and regulations for CUP for Transient Rentals. Amanda added thatstaff has created letters to be mailed out to:
1) Properties that are 100% illegal, no CUP, no business license, no tot payments and were identified by host compliance.2) Properties that never applied for a CUP however have been paying a business license and tot every year.3) Properties that applied for a CUP or are gran-fathered in, have been paying their business license yearly however have been reporting zero (0) on their TOT and have not been rented in the last 12 months.City Attorney Scott Campbell added the action the city will take after mailing out letters to property owners in the categories states above.
1) Ask owners to voluntarily sign a form terminate the illegal rental on their property. 2) Ask owners to pay back taxes plus penalty fees for the non-properly reported taxes.3) If owners do not agree to do either 1 or 2 as listed above, the city will have revocationhearings.Commissioner Morris questioned the property manager signs that should be displayed on all Transient Rentals. Director of Planning mentioned that the intent of the signs were to notify the surrounding neighbors who is managing the property. City Attorney, Scott Campbell added that 4 one of the advantages on converting the Cup from permit into a license is that the transient rental would not run with the land. Even though the former owner applied, was granted and maintained as a transient rental prior to new ownership the new owners of the property would need to apply to for a transient rental application. When the new owner applies for the transient rental one of the conditions is to notify the City who will manage the property whichwill help City to better monitor transient rentals.
City Attorney, Scott Campbell added that the standard conditions of approval for transient rentals will be coming back as an item of discussion in a future meeting and that will be the time where the Commissioners can address, include or eliminate conditions.
Debbi Wright, Owner of 210 Descanso spoke in opposition of Conditional Use Permits for Transient Rentals. The explained the difficulties she faces as a home owner surrounded by short term rentals those being disturbance to neighborhood, noise, and parking.
The commission gave staff direction to:
1) Place a cap on CUP for transient rentals
2) Base saturation by street3) Allow a transient rental application as a one on one off basis.
CUP for transient rental applications will still be accepted until the ordinance becomeseffective. Staff has received direction from the Commission for a proposal (items 1-3 listedabove), once proposal is adopted, an immediate 1) cap on transient rental applications will be placed, meaning no more each application will be taken into consideration until staff will further look into the existing transient rental on each 2)street which will determine the status of the saturation. If an owner applies for a transient rental application on a street that isoversaturated, the owner will be placed on a waiting list on a 3) one on one off basis- until a transient rental on that street terminates their transient rental property. 6) Inclusionary Housing — Proposed code changes to address definition of ‘rental space’ and possible other minor modifications.Director of Planning, Amanda Cook defines Inclusionary Housing as when one needs to provide of affordable housing by a particular formula based on a new development. State has weight and placed guidelines and statues on cities on how to establish Inclusionary housing forresidential development.
Staff is recommending using the existing SRO definition for lnclusionary Housing because it meets the minimum standards and requires basic living and incorporating as a rental space definition. Commission gave the direction to proceed with staff recommendation.If a new development is requires to provide housing for their employees, they would not be permitted to utilize a hotel as housing. Options employers would have are to: place employeesin Single Family Residents, rent apartment complexes and ray their rents or construct new S
housing of the employees.
City Attorney, Scott Campbell gave the example that the ordinance would apply to the recent new projects referring to Vons and Trailhead after City determines if the projects are subject toIH based on the audit of past and current employee numbers.
