ORDINANCES
9. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ZTA-0101-23; ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMENDING CHAPTER 18.45 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (ADU) OF TITLE 18 ZONING REGULATIONS OF THE PALOS VERDES
ESTATES MUNICIPAL CODE
Recommendation: City Council receive public input and introduce by Title Only ZTA-0101-23; Zoning Text Amendment amending Chapter 18.45 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) of Title 18 Zoning Regulations of the Palos Verdes Estates Municipal Code.
Community Development Director Brady presented a staff report, indicating because of new housing laws including Assembly Bill 2221 and Senate Bill 897 which were signed into law on September 28, 2022, it is necessary to amend the city's ADU Ordinance which is referred to as Chapter 18.45. As mentioned in the staff report the current legislation allows taller ADU units, encroachment into the front yard setback to accommodate an ADU of at least 850 square feet in size, clarify non-habitable space attached to a single-family residence such as an attached garage can be converted into a junior accessory dwelling unit. Require an interior entry between primary residence and a junior accessory dwelling unit when a bathroom is shared and include a series of amendments to the application review procedure. On April 12, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted resolution No.
PCR 2022-23-0012 recommending the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment 0101-23. Ms. Brady advised that Assistant City Attorney David King was present and available to answer any questions.
Thereafter the City Council asked clarifying questions and discussed at length the new laws allowing ADUs to be built in the front yard and ways to regulate front yard ADUs.
Further discussion regarding the proposed ordinance continued. Council Member Kemps requested that a change be made to require additional onsite parking upon a garage conversion. Mayor Pro Tem Murdock requested revisions in the ordinance to some of the definitions such as the definition of attached building either by roof or wall, to remove the roof and require a common wall, only. Further discussion regarding the definition of CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 3
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 23, 2023
accessory structures ensued, and Assistant City Attorney King indicated the definition in state law means a structure that is accessory and incidental to a dwelling located on the same lot and staff has added additional language that requires it to be detached from the principal building. Mr. King explained that most of the ordinance is basically verbatim of state law, which was the direction from the Planning Commission to mirror state law and nothing further. City Attorney King confirmed the city could add to the definition of complete independent living facility, which includes permanent living, sleeping, sanitation, cooking and eating, on the same parcel, to reflect within the unit.
A discussion ensued regarding adding wording in the ordinance that if an ADU is rented out a business license is required. Staff felt that could be included in the deed restriction which is signed and certified. That way, if they don't comply and a complaint is filed, it will become a code enforcement issue. A brief discussion took place regarding impact fees, which are not included in this ordinance, but impact fees would be proportional to the unit.
In response to Councilmember Lozzis request to reduce the square footage to 800 square feet, the City Attorney advised that the Government Code states it cannot be less than 850 square feet.
Council Member Kemps expressed concern about staff removing the last section and exploring ways to add fire safety standards for development in high fire risk areas of the city. The City Attorney confirmed that that issue was being worked on and would be brought to the City Council.
The City Council directed staff to research the revisions and bring back a revised version of the ordinance for introduction.
OLD BUSINESS
10. RECEIVE AND FILE THE REPORT FOR THE CONDITION ASSESSMENT
AND SEISMIC EVALUATION OF THE CITY HALL PARKING STRUCTURE Recommendation: Receive and file the report for the condition assessment and seismic evaluation of the City Hall parking structure.
Public Works Director Seims presented the report and slide show on the condition assessment and seismic evaluation prepared by Walker Consultants on the City Hall Parking Structure which included testing and visual observation and prepared a report included with the staff report. She noted the report identifies their findings as well as the probable cost for the recommended repairs and maintenance of the parking structure. The report outlines five years of probable costs. She reviewed the outline of the items that were identified as immediate needs and of the base repairs that are recommended for the next fiscal year. Ms. Seims presented a PowerPoint slide listing their recommendation for immediate repairs at a cost of $108,000 that cannot wait to be budgeted in a future year. The vehicle barrier system needs to be replaced immediately because of the damage it will cause should a car hit the railing. The partial depth repairs to floor spall which is the concrete that is coming off the ground and the same with the falling and loose concrete delaminated overhead. She also identified the damaged and corroded stair railing pocket where the concrete is falling off exposing the railing that Is embedded in the concrete.
Ms. Seims reviewed the recommended base repairs for the structural concrete work items that were identified for the next fiscal year at a cost of $66,500. Next, is to perform additional investigation of sub-grade drainage systems for the southeast corner in the garage where there is water intrusion coming in from the ground water for a cost of $7,000. The next base repair would be to investigate the mechanical and electrical items and the drains we have around and throughout the structure where there are issues with the water intrusion and the repairs that need to be made which would be approximately $13,000. Additional costs that were included were the general conditions and mobilization, a 10% contingency which is standard for construction projects, and consulting and engineering fees to prepare the plans and scope of work that is needed to implement the project. The total costs for the next fiscal year would be approximately $280,500.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 4
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 23, 2023
The city council asked clarifying questions about the waterproofing, to which Ms. Seims responded. The council then asked about the $1.2 million for structural repairs which Ms. Seims explained that is broken out into three different years. She noted that the majority of the $1.2 million Is in one year because it included the demolition and rebuilding of the concrete topping slab which is estimated to be $1,155,000.
Councilmember McGowan stated that the report recommendation was to receive and file, and he felt these are action items that need to be dealt with immediately. He asked how the recommendations correlate with similar types of challenges with the City Hall structure. He thought staff should immediately ask Walker Consultants to provide an assessment to bring the City Hall facility up to Code as well as safety parameters.
Ms. Seims responded that that type of assessment would require a complete review of the city hall building as well as the Homes Association and public works downstairs.
Staff would also have the ADA accessibility report findings incorporated into the assessment and it would cost about $75,000.
A gentleman from Walker Consultants addressed the City Council and indicated there are so many issues with the parking structure explaining the mitigation measures required. Thereafter, a lengthy discussion ensued regarding the reasons for the replacement of the concrete slab parking lot and the continued deterioration of the structure if it is not replaced. In response to Council Member Kemps' question regarding the City Hall facilities, he explained that the facilities are not as exposed to the weather and therefore do not have the same issues as the parking structure. In response to questions from council Member McGowan regarding whether the parking Lot structure and the city hall facility should be a combined project, the consultant stated, they should be separate explaining the seismic needs are safety issues and has nothing to do with do the seismic and restoration together.
The following individuals addressed the City Council: John Williams and Karen Logan.
Further discussion continued regarding the best way to continue and the immediate costs and long-term costs. Members of the City Council concurred that before we spend $3 million on the garage, the city needed a plan for the entire structure.
The City Council directed staff to move forward with the immediate repairs in the amount of $108,000 and have staff return to Council with additional recommendations to consider, by the fall of this year, so the City Council can make some decisions.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 14 was moved forward after Item 11.
Due to a conflict of interest, Council Member Lozzi was recused and left the council chambers.
11. AMENDED AND RESTATED CONCESSION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF PALOS VERDES ESTATES AND THE PALOS VERDES GOLF CLUB Recommendation: That the City Council review and authorize the mayor to execute the attached, proposed Amended and Restated Concession Agreement between the City of Palos Verdes Estates and the Palos Verdes Golf Club.
David Stokke, the general manager of the Palos Verdes Golf Club addressed the City Council regarding the ongoing negotiations with the city liaisons and staff to arrive at ne current version of the amended and restated concession agreement. He discussec some of the terms such as the 60-day loss of membership if someone was to sell thei home and leave Palos Verdes Estates. The board of directors felt that six months was CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 5
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 23, 2023
more reasonable, especially in today's environment. Discussions regarding the various versions of the agreements over the years and the changes to some of the terms in the agreement were had during the negotiations.
Council Member McGowan added that during the discussions with the Golf Club liaisons the issue of the residency audits the club performs every two years, and the way the homes are being titled in trusts and limited liability companies and how they are used with club memberships. These issues will have to be worked through with the attorneys and this issue will have to be brought back to the City Council at some point.
Mayor Roos asked about the edits to the junior executive membership section on page 32 of the document. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the changes to that section and how it should be read. It was determined that the clause beginning with "at the discretion of the board" and ending with "Senior Executive Membership is," was not Intended. Mayor Roos added that at the bottom of that page and the beginning of the next page 33, there is a section about duration of JEM membership, rules and regulations for JEM membership are documented in the member handbook and the remainder of that section was struck from the document. Discussion took place indicating the language that was struck from the agreement should be reinstated.
Mr. Stokke advised the City Council they have been working diligently with the Tennis Club president and general manager regarding the parking lot issue and have received an updated quotes for paving and are making progress.
Mr. Stokke advised that the paving that is currently being done is the broken and eroded pavement of the access road and the Golf Club partnered with the Tennis Club to identify 15 new parking spots adjacent to the 18" hole of the golf course. Phase 2 will be when the club identifies how it will move forward with our shortening area request to the city. Once that is done, an additional extension to the existing tennis parking lot allowing an additional 25 parking spots that would go the entire length of the existing parking area all the way to the end of the tennis courts. That is Phase 2, which cannot be done until the shortening project is identified, and that will be brought to the City Council for approval. Further discussion continued to clarify the scope of the parking lot repair and the requirement of Council's approval for the additional parking lot.
Further discussion ensued regarding clarifying the language regarding a resident who becomes a non-resident having to pay the fee differential between what was originally paid and the current non-resident fees, the waiting list not being clear, and referring to the bylaw, without the bylaws being incorporated into the concession agreement.
Discussion continued regarding clarifying the contract to be clear and regarding membership and the waiting list, and the contract no longer containing the language that the club would present a 10-year CIF plan as part of the budget, as well as the numerous changes in the agreement not being consistent with the prior agreement or the other concession agreements, and not providing the city with a percentage of merchandise sales. Discussion regarding the 60-day loss of membership versus six months continued with Mr. Stokke providing strong arguments as to why it should be six months rather than 60 days.
In summary the City Council concurred to add language back into the contract including the last sentence on page 8, that requires the club to present the council with an updated ten-year reserve and capital improvement forecast as part of the budgeting process together with the pending year CIF budget.
Council directed staff to make the changes to the contract on page 8, the changes to the JEM membership, changes to page 30 paying the difference in the curreni nonresidential fee and the fee they paid originally to join the club, and the change regarding the wait list and bring it back at the next meeting for approval along with a redlined version for Councill.

12. CONSIDER ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AWARDING ONYX PAVING COMPANY, INC. THE PW -687-22 FY 22/23 MISCELLANEOUS STREET REPAIRS PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $222,000 AND AN APPROPRIATION OF GENERAL FUNDS ASSIGNED FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS IN AN AMOUNT OF $25,100 TO THE Recommendation: That the City Council consider adoption of a Resolution to: (1) Approve the plans and specifications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 22/23 Miscellaneous Street Repairs Project (City Project No. PW-687-22); (2) Appropriate General Funds Assigned for Capital Projects in the amount of $25, 100 to the Project; (3) Award of a construction contract to Onyx Paving Company, Inc. in the amount of $222,000; (4) Authorize the Interim City Manager to Execute all Contract Documents and Approve Additional Construction Expenditures not to exceed $19,200, which is approximately 8.6% of the contract amount; and (5) Authorize the Interim City Clerk to Record the Notice of Completion upon Acceptance of the Work by the Public Works Director.
Public Works Director Seims provided a brief staff report indicating this is an annual project consisting of 40 locations for pavement repairs, concrete repairs, pavement striping and marking and the construction of pathway protection bars. The projects are at various locations throughout the city and grouped into one project to achieve an economy of scale. She advised the city received two bids and staff is recommending the contract be awarded to Onyx paving who is the lowest responsible bidder for a contract amount of $222,000. The amount budgeted for the project is $260,900; however, with the amount of the bid, the original estimates for the management, inspections, and contingency costs, the total cost of the project is $25, 100 higher than the approved project budget. She explained that to keep the costs down the normal 10% contingency fund was maintained at 8.6% so that it would match what was in the CIP budget and the increase would be for the construction contract only.
The city council asked clarifying questions and deliberated on the issue.
ACTION: Moved by Mayor Pro Tem Murdock, and seconded by Councilmember McGowan to adopt the resolution to approve the plans and specifications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 22/23 Miscellaneous Street Repairs Project (City Project No. PW-687-22); appropriate General Funds Assigned for Capital Projects in the amount of $25, 100 to the Project; award of a construction contract to Onyx Paving Company, Inc. in the all Contract

NOES: None
13. DISCUSS LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SERVICES AND THE AGREEMENT WITH STAY GREEN, ING. AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO THE INTERIM CITY
MANAGER
Recommendation: Discuss landscape maintenance services and the Agreement with Stay Green, Inc., and provide direction to the Interim City Manager.
Public Works Director Seims presented a brief staff report indicating that she intended to discuss the landscape maintenance services throughout the City, however since posting the staff report, the City's landscape maintenance provider Stay Green verbally notified the city they cannot continue the contract with the city at the current rate. They advised that although they have hired additional crew members and have brought in crew members from outside the area, they have lost existing crew members so there hasn't been a net change in the number of crew and the work. As a result, Stay Green has not been able to catch up on the work that hasn't happened in the last few months, they are falling behind, and are doing sub-par work. For the near term, city staff will coordinate with Stay Green on the areas that are safety priority and prioritize the work items and locations. City staff and the engineering staff of HR Green have begun preparing an RFP for landscape maintenance services, and following the discussion tonight will finalize the draft in the next few weeks so that an RFP can be issued for a new contract for landscape maintenance. She noted that Stay Green is interested in continuing a relationship with the city and would like to be considered for a new contract when the city issues an RFP or enter a discussion for an amendment to the existing contract at an increased rate.
The City Council discussed the issue at length and asked questions of staff and Martin Mckenna, the regional manager of the greater Los Angeles area for Stay Green. Mr.
McKenna presented photographs showing general weed abatement for another city on the Peninsula, in which the areas are handled twice as frequently as they are in Palos Verdes Estates. Their contract is also a manpower contract. He pointed out the weeds are much lower and not as intense. Whereas the city's contract is based on an estimated frequency based on a budget and did not prepare anyone for the amount of rain the area received this year, which is why they are so far behind. He stated it is taking them four times as long to abate the weeds due to the density caused by the rain.
He advised the city council of the number of men he had working in PVE explaining two were working on the monthly and quarterly service areas, and three were working on the weekly and biweekly service areas. He noted these options were presented to the city in November 2021.
Dialogue between Mr. McKenna and Councilmember Kemps about whether the City's trust in the contractor can be repaired ensued. Mr. Mckenna said this is the only city contract Stay Green is failing in because the estimated frequencies are not going to match what the community expectations are, since they are budgetary and meet the City's budget.
Each city council member expressed their concerns and frustration with the service the city is receiving and the complaints from the residents. Mr. McKenna advised that it would take four weeks with five, five men crews to get the city cleaned up to the level that the residents expect. Once they were caught up and if they were allowed to use chemicals, it would take eight people five days a week to keep up with the frequency.
The manpower shortages and the rate of pay to get people to work here was also a hindrance.
There followed a discussion regarding council members seeing the workers just sitting around, the poor quality of work, and the numerous complaints the city council has received regarding the way the city looks. The cost to maintain the city in the manner it expects would take approximately $55,000 to $60,000 per month.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 8
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 23, 2023
After further discussion, City Manager Ready recommended that the RFP, that will be ready shortly, come back to the City Council, or the liaison, to make the changes needed so staff can get it circulated. In the meantime, the city will have to have additional dollars to get this work under control. A brief discussion ensued regarding the current contract prohibiting the use of chemicals, allowing gopher control, but not having any performance measures, and the need to define more specifically the work that needs to be done as well as what parameters can or should be included in the RFP, concluding that the City needed an outcome-based RFP. A discussion regarding the use of chemicals and the types of chemicals to use ensued. The council expressed their thoughts that a previous council adopted an ordinance prohibiting the use of chemicals and that would have to be changed. The City Attorney noted he was unable to find anything in the Municipal Code regarding the use of chemicals and asked staff to research that issue.
The City Council directed staff to do whatever needs to be done to get the City through the back log as quickly as possible using the $25,000 the City Manager has authority to spend and come back at the next meeting for an additional appropriation for the work.
