Agenda Item No.: 7.A Mtg. Date: 11/19/2020 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: MEREDITH ELGUIRA, PLANNING DIRECTOR THRU: ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD CHAPTER 17.48 (TEMPORARY USE PERMITS) ESTABLISHING A PROCESS BY WHICH PERSONS CAN REQUEST A SHORT TERM USE THAT IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF ITS TEMPORARY NATURE AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. DATE: November 19, 2020 BACKGROUND: On the October 20, 2020 Planning Commission meeting, staff presented a draft ordinance that establishes a review process for temporary construction related uses. The proposed ordinance is in response to the Planning Commission's request to address construction related uses such as fences, trailers, containers, portable toilets, etc. and to have some type of oversight to prevent such uses from remaining on construction sites for an extended period of time without any construction activities occurring. Staff was directed to prepare an ordinance that would provide permitting standards to regulate temporary uses related to construction. DISCUSSION: The proposed ordinance establishes standards for construction related temporary uses. The Municipal Code currently does not have any existing standards that regulate construction uses and thus, many of the construction related uses tend to stay on site for extended period of time even without construction activities occurring. Some construction sites in the City have fences that have been up for years even when construction activities do not require construction fences. Construction fences are usually required by the RHCA or the contractors' insurance providers. Building and Safety requires construction fences when the site has been deemed hazardous. 3

In consultation with the Association and Building and Safety, the proposed draft ordinance will establish allowed uses, review authority, application process, findings and decisions, conditions of approval, standards, and post-approval procedures. Staff also received suggestions from a local resident that have been taken into consideration. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Consider Resolution No. 2020-08 of the Planning Commission of the City of Rolling Hills, California recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance amending Title 17 (Zoning) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code to add Chapter 17.48 (Temporary Use Permits) establishing a process by which persons can request a short term use that is acceptable because of its temporary nature and determining the ordinance to be exempt from CEQA.

RECITALS A. The Planning Commission expressed interest in further regulating temporary construction fences within the City. B. On November 7, 2020, the City gave public notice of the public hearing for the proposed ordinance to regulate temporary construction fences by publishing notice in the Torrance Daily Breeze a newspaper of general circulation of a Planning Commission public hearing at which the ordinance would be considered. C. On October 20, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public testimony concerning the proposed ordinance. The Planning Commission directed staff to expand the scope of the ordinance to also address temporary construction offices, temporary construction storage containers, temporary portable toilets, and stockpiling. D. Staff and the City Attorney prepared the proposed ordinance, including the proposed language and terminology, and any additional information and documents deemed necessary for the Planning Commission to take action. E. On November 7, 2020 the City gave public notice of the public hearing for the proposed ordinance to regulate temporary uses by publishing notice in the Torrance Daily Breeze a newspaper of general circulation of a Planning Commission public hearing at which the ordinance would be considered. F. On November 19, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public testimony concerning the proposed ordinance.

65277.00001\33367195.1 Page 2 of 6 Section 1. The project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061.b.3 of the CEQA Guidelines because adoption of the zoning ordinance amendment is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and this project does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The resulting uses would be exempt from CEQA under Sections 15301, 15303, 15304, and 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines, as minor alterations to project sites and buildings that do not increase intensity or density within an urban area with availability of all services. Section 2. Based on the entire record before the Planning Commission, and all written and oral evidence presented, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the proposed ordinance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. Section 3. Based on the entire record before the Planning Commission, and all written and oral evidence presented, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the proposed ordinance is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan as it is intended to allow for the short-term placement of activities on property within the City with appropriate regulations so that such activities will be compatible with the surrounding areas. Section 4. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance (Exhibit A) entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD CHAPTER 17.48 (TEMPORARY USE PERMITS) ESTABLISHING A PROCESS BY WHICH PERSONS CAN REQUEST A SHORT TERM USE THAT IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF ITS TEMPORARY NATURE AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 19 TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2020.
