TITLE 21
SUBDIVISIONS
The provisions codified in this code reflect changes made by all county ordinances up to

PUBLISHER'S NOTE
The Los Angeles County Code is organized by subject matter under an expandable,
three-factor decimal numbering system which is designed to facilitate future changes
with minimum disturbance to current regulations. Each section number includes in its
sequence the title, chapter and section number. For example. Section 21.08.170 is
Section 170 (.170) in Chapter 8 (.08) of Title 21. In most instances, sections are
numbered by tens (.010, .020, .030, etc.), leaving nine vacant positions between
original sections to accommodate new provisions. Chapters and titles are also
numbered to provide for expansion.
In parentheses following each code section is a legislative history note, which lists all
ordinances which have affected that section since the date of original enactment.
A cross-reference table locating current placement of all Ordinance 4478 provisions
in the new code, is set out in Appendix 1 for Title 21.
Footnotes to statutory provisions and to related code provisions in other code volumes
appear at the end of each title.
A subject-matter index covering all the provisions of this Title 21 and locating
subjects by code section number is set out at the end of the title.
A complete Ordinance List and Disposition Table is set forth in Volume 8 of the
code; it lists all the county's ordinances, gives an outline of their contents and
subjects, and indicates the chapter of the code where each ordinance's provisions
appear.

map or parcel map shall show durable monuments found or set at or near each
boundary comer and at intermediate points, approximately 1,000 feet apart, or at
such lesser distances as may be made necessary by topography or culture to insure
accuracy in the reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty.
The precise position and the character of each such monument shall be shown on
such map. Such durable monument shall be not less substantial than an iron pipe
of a two-inch outside diameter, not less than two and one-half feet in length, with
plug and tack, and set at least two feet into the ground, or of such other character
and stability as may be approved by the county engineer. For the purpose of this

a sufficient number (normally four) of durable distinctive reference points or
monuments.
B. Such reference points or monuments may be leads and tacks in sidewalks,
or two-inch by two-inch stakes set back of the curbline and below the surface of
the ground, or such substitute therefor as appears to be not more likely to be
disturbed.
C. Such set of notes.shall be of such quality, form and completeness, and
shall be on paper of such quality and size, as may be necessary to conform to the
standardized office records of the county surveyor. All such notes shall be indexed
and filed by the county surveyor as a part of the permanent public records of this
office. (Ord. 4478 Art. 7 § 114, 1945.)
21.20.050 Identification marks on monuments. All monuments found or
set as required herein shall be permanently and visibly marked or tagged with the
registration or license number of the engineer or surveyor under whose supervision
the survey was made. (Ord. 11665 § 30, 1978: Ord. 4478 Art. 7 § 115, 1945.)
21.20.060 Boundary monuments — Time for setting — Deferment
conditions. All boundary monuments shall be set prior to filing of the final map
or parcel map unless extensive grading operations or improvement work makes it
impractical to set monuments. In the event any of the boundary monuments required
are to be set subsequent to filing of the parcel map or final map, the engineer or
surveyor making the survey shall furnish evidence acceptable to the county engineer
prior to submitting the map to substantiate his reasons for deferring the setting of
permanent monuments until after filing of the map. If the setting of boundary
monuments is deferred, field notes showing the boundary survey shall be presented
to the county engineer at the time the map is submitted for checking. Interior street-
centerline monuments may be set subsequent to filing of the map. The map shall
show which monuments are in place and are to be set. Prior to approval of the final
map by the board of supervisors or of a parcel map by the advisory agency, the
subdivider shall submit a written agreement in which he agrees that the monuments
so deferred will be set within a specified time, and that the notes required in Section
21.20.050 will be furnished within a specified time. (Ord. 11665 § 31, 1978: Ord.

2 1 .24.030 Wildland access.
2 1 .24.040 Modifications to access and frontage requirements.
21.24.010 General requirements — Determination of adequacy. A. Each
street providing access to lots within a division of land shall connect directly or
through one or more other streets to a highway which is shown on the Highways
Plan and which is maintained and open to public travel. Each route of access to a
highway which is shown on the Highway Plan shall be adequate to accommodate
the composition and volume of vehicular traffic generated by the land uses which it
serves.
B. In determining the adequacy of a route of access, the advisory agency
shall consider the potential for blockage of the route by flood, fire or landslide and
the effect of such blockage on the safe evacuation of future users and occupants of
the division and on the deployment of fire equipment or other services under
emergency conditions. The advisory agency may disapprove a design which makes
use of a residential street as a route of access to industrial, commercial or other
divisions of land generating traffic which would conflict with the residential char-
acter of the street. (Ord. 85-0168 § 1, 1985; Ord. 10485 § 2, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 §
40, 1945.)
21.24.020 Restricted residential access. A. If a street or street system is
restricted to a single route of access to a highway shown on the Highway Plan,
except for a limited secondary highway, which is maintained and open to public
travel, whether at the point of intersection with the highway or at some point
distant from the highway, the street or street system shall serve not more than:
1. 150 dwelling units where the restriction is designed to be perma-
nent and the street or street system does not traverse a wildland area which is
subject to hazard from brush or forest fire;
2. 75 dwelling units where the restriction is designed to be permanent
and the street or street system traverses a wildland area which is subject to hazard
from brush or forest fire;
21-15
21.24.020
3. 300 dwelling units, where the restriction is subject to removal
through future development.
B. If the roadway paving on that portion of the street or street system
forming the restriction is less than 36 feet in width and is not to be widened to 36
feet or more as a part of the development of the division of land, the permitted
number of dwelling units shall be reduced by 25 percent if the pavement is 28 feet or
more in width, and by 50 percent if the pavement is less than 28 feet in width. If the
roadway paving on that portion of the street or street system forming the restriction
is 64 feet or more in width and the restriction is subject to removal through future
development, the permitted number of dwelling units may be increased to 600. In
no event shall the pavement width be less than 20 feet. The provisions of this
section shall not apply to divisions of land referred to in Section 21.32.040 to
divisions of land approved pursuant to Section 21.32.080, or to minor land divi-
sions. (Ord. 85-0168 § 2, 1985; Ord. 10485 § 4, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 40.2, 1945.)
21.24.030 Wildland access. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections
21.24.020 and 21.24.190, the advisory agency may disapprove a design of a division
of land which utilizes a cul-de-sac or branching street system or other single-access
street or street system as the sole or principal means of access to lots within the
division, where the forester and fire warden advises:
A. That the street or street system will traverse a wildland area which is
subject to extreme hazard from brush or forest fires;
B. That the lack of a second route of access would unduly hinder public
evacuation and the deployment of fire-fighting and other emergency equipment in
the event of a brush or forest fire. (Ord. 10485 § 3, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 40.1,
1945.)
21.24.040 Modifications to access and frontage requirements. The advisory
agency may modify the requirements of Sections 21.24.010, 21.24.020, 21.24.190
and 21.24.290 where it finds that topographic conditions, title limitations, or the
pattern of ownership or the state of development of parcels in the immediate
vicinity of a division of land make the strict application of the provisions of these
sections impossible or impractical and that the public health, safety and general
welfare will not be adversely affected thereby. (Ord. 10485 § 5, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art.

sections or such other designs as approved by the road commissioner. The advisory
agency may modify the requirements of this section as to highway widths if
topographic features, title limitations, existing improvements or safety considera-
tions make such dedication impossible or impractical.
B. Width of Limited Secondary Highways. Where the advisory agency
finds that the traffic or drainage conditions warrant, the area indicated by the
asterisk in Diagram 3 shall be shown as a future or dedicated right-of-way If such
finding is not made, said area shall be subject to the provisions specified by Section

21.24.090 Right-of-way and roadway width requirements — Cross-section
diagrams. A. Each alley and street shall have a width of right-of-way, vehicular
pavement and sidewalk, where a sidewalk is required, to conform to the following
cross-sections. The advisory agency may modify the requirements of this section as
to right-of-way and improvements widths if topographic features, title limitations,
the general plan, community standards districts, the pattern of existing neigh-
borhood development or existing improvements, or safety considerations make
such dedication impossible, unnecessary or impractical. The advisory agency may
also modify right-of-way and improvement width requirements in conjunction
with a conditional use permit for a residential planned development, density-
controlled development or hillside development if it finds that the standard street
widths are not consistent with the approved design. In no case shall the minimum
right-of-way be less than 40 feet, except for alleys. The cross-sections designated as
21-19
21.24.090
"alternate" shall not apply if the advisory agency finds that the use of such alternate
cross-sections would not be in keeping with the design and improvement of
adjoining highways or streets.
B. That position of a street marked with an asterisk (*) in the following
diagrams may be counted as part of the net area of a lot or parcel of land. The line
between that portion of a street marked with an asterisk (*) and the portion thereof
not so marked shall be deemed to be the property line as the words "property line"
are used in the Zoning Ordinance set out at Title 22 of this code, but this shall not
permit any encroachment within any portion of such street by the underlying fee
owner.
C. Diagrams. (See following pages for diagrams.) (Ord. 85-0 1 68 § 8, 1 985:
Ord 10485 § 1 1, 1972; Ord. 9086 § 1, 1966: Ord. 7634 § 4, 1959: Ord. 4478 An. 4 §
54, 1945.)
21.24.100 Street grades. No highway or street shall have a grade of more
than six percent, except for short stretches where the topography makes it imprac-
ticable to keep within such grade, and in no event shall the grade exceed 10 percent,
except where evidence, which is satisfactory to the advisory agency, is given that a
lower grade is not possible. (Ord. 85-0194 § 3 (part), 1985; Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 55,
1945.)
21.24.110 Right-of-way radius. Intersections of road right-of-way lines,
where one or both roads are local residential, shall be rounded with a curve having a
radius of 13 feet, unless otherwise determined by the road commissioner. Intersec-
tions of road right-of-way lines, where both roads are shown as highways on the
Highways Plan or one of the roads serves a commercial or industrial development,
shall be rounded with a curve having a radius of 27 feet, unless otherwise deter-
mined by the road commissioner. (Ord. 85-0 1 68 § 9, 1 985: Ord. 972 1 § 5, 1 969: Ord.
8822 § 2, 1965: Ord. 8792 § 2, 1965: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 57, 1945.)
21.24.120 Future streets. Wherever the advisory agency shall have deter-
mined that a street is necessary for the future division of property as shown on the
tentative map, or for adjoining property, but that the present dedication and
construction of such street is not warranted, the advisory agency may require that
the location, width and extent of such street shall be shown on the final map or
parcel map as a future street. No improvement of such future street shall be
required of the subdivides (Ord. 85-0194 § 3 (part), 1985; Ord. 9071 § 5 (part), 1966:
Ord. 5883 § 3, 1952: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 56, 1945.)
21.24.130 Centerline curve radius. On any street the centerline curve radius
shall not be less than 100 feet, unless sufficient evidence is offered to the advisory
agency by the subdivider to show that the 100-foot radius is not practicable. (Ord.
85-0168 § 10, 1985: Ord. 85-0194 § 3 (part), 1985; Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 45, 1945.)
21.24.140 Street intersection angle. Except as provided in Section
21.24.060, any highway or street intersecting any other highway or street shall
intersect it at an angle as nearly a right angle as practicable. (Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 46,
1945.)
21.24.150 Service roads or alleys required when. A. Whenever it is proposed
to divide property abutting a major or secondary highway, a service road or other

local street shall be provided unless the circumstances of such property or of
adjoining property render it inadvisable or undesirable to provide access by such
service road or other local street.
B. Where a service road or local street is not required, the subdivider shall
provide an alley at the rear of such lots unless the advisory agency finds such alley
inadvisable, undesirable, detrimental to adjoining property, or contrary to the best
community design. (Ord. 9071 § 5 (pan), 1966: Ord. 5345 § 2, 1949: Ord. 4478 Art. 4
§ 50, 1945.)
21.24.160 Alleys in congested districts. The advisory agency may require
that an alley be provided at the rear of all lots where property is to be used for
multiple residential use (not including two-family use) or commercial or other less-
restrictive uses. (Ord. 9721 § 4, 1969: Ord. 9204 § 3, 1966: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 48,
1945.)
21.24.170 Alley intersections. Where two alleys intersect, a cutoff of not less
than 10 feet along each alley shall be provided. (Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 49, 1945.)
21.24.180 Turnarounds. A. A turning area shall be provided at the end of
cul-de-sac streets and dead-end alleys. The advisory agency may require turn-
arounds:
1 . Upon the recommendation of the subdivision committee, at inter-
mediate points on cul-de-sacs of more than 700 feet in length, and on other local
streets where the distance between intersections exceeds 2,000 feet; and
2. At the end of stub or dead-end streets or more than 300 feet in
length where the future extension of the street is remote.
B. All such turnarounds shall conform to the specifications of the road
commissioner. (Ord. 10485 § 6, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 47, 1945.)
21.24.190 Cul-de-sacs — Length restrictions. A. Cul-de-sacs shall be not
more than:
1. 500 feet in length, when serving land zoned for industrial or
commercial use;
2. 700 feet in length, when serving land zoned for residential uses
having a density of more than four dwelling units per net acre;
3. 1,000 feet in length, when serving land zoned for residential uses
having a density of four or less dwelling units per net acre.
B. This section shall not be construed to prohibit the approval of a division
of land utilizing frontage on an existing cul-de-sac of more than the maximum
permitted length nor shall it be construed to prohibit the advisory agency from
reducing the length of a proposed cul-de-sac to less than the maximum length
permitted by this section or requiring the elimination of a proposed cul-de-sac in
order to provide for the efficient circulation of traffic, the future development of the
neighborhood street system or the deployment of emergency services. (Ord. 10485 §
7, 1972: Ord. 7634 § 3 (part), 1959: Ord. 4478 .Art. 4 § 47.1, 1945.)
21.24.200 Mobilehome divisions of land — Street and driveway standards.
Those streets, existing or proposed within or contiguous to a mobilehome division
of land which are to be dedicated or offered to be dedicated for public use shall meet
the standards outlined in Section 21.24.090. Driveways in such division shall have
21-27
21.24.200
minimum widths of 30 feet. However, greater driveway widths may be required by
the advisory agency if the design or magnitude of such division warrants the greater
width. (Ord. 85-0168 § 11, 1985: Ord. 11681 § 2, 1978: Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 59, 1945.)
21.24.210 Pedestrian ways. Excepting in the case of any reversion-to-
acreage map, vacation map or boundary-line map, a transverse pedestrian way of
adequate width may be required through the approximate middle of each block
having a length of more than 700 feet. No such pedestrian way shall have a grade
exceeding 30 percent, provided that where one or more adequate stairways in such
pedestrian way are made a part of the improvement thereof, the grade of such
stairway may be as great as 75 percent. (Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 51, 1945.)
21.24.220 Fire-flghting access easements. In areas where, in the opinion of
the forester and fire warden, there will be fire hazard to the watershed or any other
properties, unobstructed fire-protection access easements, not less than 15 feet
wide, shall be dedicated firom the public highway to the boundary of the division of
land. Where the design of a division of land will cause an existing fire road or fire
break to be severed, and the forester and fire warden advises that this condition will
impair the provision of adequate fire protection, the advisory agency may require
that the subdivider either revise the design of the division of land so that the fire
road or fire break will not be severed or provide an alternate easement. The forester
and fire warden shall recommend to the advisory agency regarding the location,
design and grading of easements required pursuant to the provisions of this section.
Such location, design and grading shall be as found necessary by the advisorv
agency (Ord. 10485 § 8, 1972: Ord. 9071 § 5 (part), 1966: Ord. 7634 § 3 (part), 1959:
Ord. 4478 Art. 4 § 47.2, 1945.)
21.24.230 Collector streets on section lines and quarter-section lines.
Collector streets shall be established on all section lines and quarter-section lines in
the Antelope Valley, except on those lines designated as highways on the Highway
Plan. The advisory agency may select a different location for such streets where
existing conditions on the ground, ownership patterns, topography, environmental
factors or other concerns warrant. (Ord. 85-0168 § 12, 1985.)

21.24.350 Residential subdivisions — Provision of local park sites.
21.24.240 Area and width — Requirements generally. A. Each lot in any
division of land shall have an area not less than either the required area or what will
be the required area at the time of the submission of the final map or parcel map for
approval for the zone in which the lot or any portion thereof is located. Each lot
shall have an average width of not less than the required width, or what will be the
required width at the time of the submission of the final map or parcel map for
approval, or shall contain an area of not less than such required area within a
portion which does have an average width of not less than such required width,
except as provided in Sections 21.24,280 or 21.24.360 or 21.24.370. The required
area and the required width shall be the same as those terms are defined, respec-
tively, in the Zoning Ordinance set out at Title 22 of this code. Where the Zoning
Ordinance does not establish a required area or a required width in a particular
zone, the required area shall be 5,000 feet and the required width shall be 50 feet.
B. If any lot is in more than one zone, then the area and width thereof shall
be not less than the area and width requirements, respectively, in that zone in which
any part of the lot is located which has the largest area requirement and in that zone
in which any part of the lot is located which has the greatest width requirement.
C. This section does not apply to any lot which the subdivider offers to
deed or dedicate to the public.
D. Where public sewers are not available and private sewage disposal is to
be used, every lot or parcel or building site shall be of sufficient size to provide for
satisfactory sewage disposal for the land use intended. (Ord. 9071 § 5 (part), 1966:
Ord. 7831 § 1, 1960; Ord. 7694 § 1, 1959; Ord. 7634 § 5, 1959; Ord. 7345 § 5, 1958;
Ord. 6365 § 1, 1954: Ord. 6251 § 1, 1953: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 71, 1945.)
21.24.250 Area and width — Sloping terrain. A. In lieu of compliance with
subsection A of Section 21.24.240, the plan of subdivision may comply with the
requirements of Section 21.24.260 if the advisory agency determines:
1. That due to sloping terrain, the topographic features within the
division of land will be better utilized if a portion of the lots in such division are less
in area than the applicable designation;
2. That a final map or parcel map of the division of land or any part
thereof will not be filed unless the average area of all lots on such map or maps is not
less than the applicable zoning designation;
3. That the lots having a reduced area will be compatible in design to
adjacent facing and siding lots of abutting development;
4. That all lots which are not reduced in area shall comply with
subsection A of Section 21.24.240.
B. Lots which have been averaged in area with one or more other lots on a
final map or parcel map in order to comply with the provisions of this section shall
not be resubdivided or otherwise divided unless the advisory agency finds that the
division will not reduce the average area of the lots resulting from the division and
any remaining lots shown on the final map or parcel map below the applicable
zoning designation. (Ord. 9721 § 6, 1969: Ord. 9071 § 5 (part), 1966: Ord. 8042 § 1

21.24.260 Area and width — Reduced lot table. When the advisory agency
has made all of the findings listed in Section 21.24.250, not to exceed 43 percent of
the lots in the division of land may have less than the required area if they all have
an area and average width not less than that shown on the following table.

21.24.270 Area and width — Change of zone. A. If the advisory agency has
approved and recommended to the board of supervisors a reduction of the required
area or required width, or both, and is of the opinion there is a reasonable
probability that prior to the submission of the final map for approval or the parcel
map for filing with the county recorder, the required area or required width or both
will be reduced by action of the board of supervisors, it may conditionally approve
a tentative map having one or more lots with less than the required area or width, or
both.
B. Such approval of the tentative map shall not be effective unless and until
the required area or required width or both are so reduced by the adoption of an
ordinance by the board of supervisors and such ordinance has become effective and
all lots in the division of land comply with Section 21.24.240, or with 21.24.240 as
modified pursuant to Section 21.52.010. (Ord. 9071 § 7 (part), 1966: Ord. 7694 § 2,
1959: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 71.5, 1945.)
21.24.280 City boundary line to be lot line when. No lot shall be divided by a
city boundary line. Each such boundary line shall be made a lot line. (Ord. 9071 § 7
(part), 1966: Ord. 7345 § 6, 1958: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 73, 1945.)
21.24.290 Frontage for lots. The alignment of streets shall be such as to
provide frontage for lots in the division of land except as provided in Section
21.24.280. (Ord. 9071 § 7 (part), 1966: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 72, 1945.)
21.24.300 Minimum frontage. Wherever practical, lot frontage at the right-
of-way line shall be:
A. 40 feet or more, where a lot is oriented so that its side lot lines are radial
or approximately radial to a turnaround or knuckle or to the convex side of a curved
street centerline; and
B. Equal to or greater than the average lot width, where a lot is not so
oriented. (Ord. 10485 § 12, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 72.1, 1945.)
21.24.310 Lot sideline angle. In all cases where practicable, the side lines of
lots shall be at an approximate right angle to the street upon which such lots front.
(Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 75, 1945.)
21-30
21.24.320
21.24.320 Flag lots. The advisory agency may disapprove the platting of flag lots
where this design is not justified by topographic conditions or the size and shape of the
division of land, or where this design is in conflict with the pattern of neighborhood
development. If flag lots are approved, the access strip for each lot shall be at least 10
feet in width where the strip is situated contiguous to other such access strips, so as to
form a common driveway, and at least 15 feet in width, where the strip is not situated
contiguous to other such access strips, unless the subdivision committee recommends
the approval of lesser widths because of topographic conditions or the size and shape of
a division of land. Each access strip shall be located so that, when improved as a
driveway, the finished grade will not exceed 20 percent. The advisory agency may
require that easements for ingress and egress be provided over common driveways for
the benefit of the lots served. (Ord. 10485 § 13, 1972: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 72.2, 1945.)
21.24.330 Additional parking area for commercial use. Wherever property in
a division of land is to be devoted to commercial use, special consideration shall be
given to automobile parking space independent of highway curbside parking. (Ord.
9071 § 7 (part), 1966: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 74, 1945.)
21.24.340 Residential subdivisions — Local park space obligation —
Formula. A. The subdivider of a residential subdivision shall provide local park space
to serve the subdivision, pay a fee in lieu of the provision of such park land in
accordance with the provisions of Section 21.28.140, provide local park space
containing less than the required obligation but developed with amenities equal in value
to the park fee, or do a combination of the above in accordance with the requirements of
this title. The extent of the local park space obligation to be satisfied by land, fees, land
and amenities, or a combination of these, shall be determined by the following formula:
X
Where:
X
U
P
= .003(UP)
= Local park space obligation in acres.
= Total approved number of dwelling units.
= Column 1 for detached single-family residences;
Column 2 for attached single-family (townhouse) residences, two-
family residences, and apartment houses containing fewer
than five dwelling units;
Column 3 for apartment houses containing five or more dwelling units;
and
Column 4 for mobile homes.

B. The approved number of dwelling units within a subdivision shall be the
number of dwelling units approved in the tentative tract, except that where
topographic conditions, the design of the subdivision, dedications, agreements, or the
restrictions of other ordinances, statutes or regulations will not, in the opinion of the
advisory agency, permanently prohibit construction of dwelling units to the maximum
permitted by zoning, the advisory agency may determine the maximum number of
dwelling units which can be placed in such subdivision, and shall base the approved
number of dwelling units within the subdivision on such maximum number.
C. For purposes of this Title 21, "local park space" may include, but shall not
be limited to: publicly or privately owned playgrounds, riding and hiking trails,
tennis, basketball or other similar game-court areas, swimming pools, putting greens,
athletic fields, picnic areas, and other types of natural or scenic areas as recommended
by the director of parks and recreation for passive or active recreation.
D. If the advisory agency determines that the strict application of the equation
set forth in this section to a particular subdivision would result in an inequitable
dupHcation of local park space previously provided by a subdivider or his
predecessors in interest for the benefit of the land comprising the subdivision, or in a
duplication of fees previously paid for the acquisition or development of such
facilities, the advisory agency shall adjust the computation of required park space to
the extent necessary to eliminate such duplication.
E. The provisions of this section and of Sections 21.24.350 and 21.28.140
shall not apply to condominium projects which consist of the subdivision of air space
in an existing residential building which is more than five years old (when no new
units are added), or to single-family lots within a land division having a gross area 1
acres or larger. (Ord. 2004-0023 § 1, 2004: Ord. 92-0064 §§ 1, 2, 1992; Ord.

21.24.350 Residential subdivisions — Provision or local park sites. A. Upon
ascertaining the local park space obligation to be fulfilled by the subdivider of a
residential subdivision pursuant to Section 21.24.340, the advisory agency shall
review the proposed subdivision, the park and recreational needs of the future
inhabitants of the subdivision, and existing or potential neighboring park and
recreational facilities to determine whether all or any portion of the local park space
obligation should be satisfied by the provision of park space to serve the subdivision.
If the advisory agency determines that park space should be provided, the advisory
agency shall advise the subdivider of the design and location of such space,
B. If the subdivision contains more than 50 lots, the subdivider shall provide
the necessary park space as determined by the advisory agency. If such park space is
less than the total park space obligation required by the provisions of Section
21.24.340, the subdivider shall pay the park fees, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 21.28.140, provide amenities to the park space equal in value to the park fees,
or do a combination of both.
C. If the subdivision contains 50 or fewer residential lots, provision of the
park space designated by the advisory agency shall be at the option of the subdivider.
If the subdivider elects to provide the park space designated by the advisory agency,
the amount of park space provided shall be credited against the local park space
obligation for the subdivision. The residual obligation, if any, shall be satisfied by the
payment of park fees in accordance with the provisions of Section 21.28.140, the
provision of amenities to the park space equal in value to the park fees, or a
combination of both. If the subdivider elects not to provide the local space designated
by the advisory agency, the entire local park space obligation shall be met by the
payment of park fees.
D. Determinations as to whether park space should be provided, and as to the
design and location of such space and any amenities thereof, shall be made in
accordance with the principles and standards for local park and recreational
Supp. #61,8-04 21-32.2
21.24.350
facilities contained in the recreation element of the general plan, the additional
provisions of this Title 21, and the recommendations of the director of parks and
recreation. The subdivider shall install all improvements for streets abutting the
park sites as required by this Title 21.
E. 1. Each park site shall be physically suited for the use intended. Land
which is made a part of a park site for subdivision design purposes, but which is
physically unsuited for park use, shall be discounted when calculating the area of
the park site provided pursuant to this section. The park space provided shall be
calculated from the road right-of-way line and not from the centerline of an
abutting street.
2. Land intended for other than trail use shall have a maximum slope
of three percent. If necessary, the site shall be graded by the subdivider to achieve
this slope, in accordance with plans approved by the department of parks and
recreation. However, land which has an average slope of more than three percent
may be credited against the park dedication requirement where the director of
parks and recreation finds that special circumstances exist which would make the
acceptance of such land in the public interest. Except as otherwise provided in this
section, the amount of credit against the park obligation in such cases shall be
calculated as follows:
Credit Against
Park Site Slope Park Obligation
0—3% 100%
3.1 — 10% 87%
10.1 — 20% 56%
Over 20% 10%
3. Greater credit for sites in excess of three-percent slope may be
given where the director of parks and recreation finds that a site contains an
exceptional visual, biotic or other natural resource.
F If the board of supervisors determines that any of the proposed land to
be provided is not suitable for park use, it may reject all or any portion of the offer to
provide, and in that event the subdivider shall pay the appropriate fee in accord-
ance with the provisions of Section 21.28.140.
G. Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve the subdivider from
providing park or recreational space required by the Zoning Ordinance set out at
Title 22 of this code, or by the provision of variances or permits granted pursuant to
the Zoning Ordinance, nor shall any provision of this section be construed to
require the countv to accept land for park purposes which is unsuited for park use.

21.24.290, 21.24.310 and 21.24.330, the plan as submitted may comply with the
requirements of this section when the advisory agency shall determine that the plan
of subdivision submitted provides better for the preservation of the access of light
and air, for safety, convenience, property values and general welfare of the commu-
nity than would be provided by compliance with those sections herein enumerated.
Such alternate requirements which are intended to authorize that type of subdivi-
sion commonly designated as the "Radbum Plan of subdivision" are as follows:
1 . A complete system of pedestrian walks in front of the lots, separate
from the streets, completely serving all lots in the subdivision in such a direct
manner, particularly in relation to schools serving the subdivision, that there will
be little inducement or necessity for pedestrians to walk in the streets;
2. A system of short dead-end streets at the rear of the majority of
lots, to discourage instrusion of through traffic which can be confined to the
relatively few through streets from which these dead-end streets branch, and which
bound the super-blocks thus formed;
3. A system of continuous park, of such size, shape and arrangement
as to be useful in part for recreation, and at least equal to 0.033 acre per lot within
each super-block, adjacent to all lots or the walks immediately in front of such lots,
and not separated from the lots by any street for vehicular use;
4. Effective restrictions binding on and for the benefit of the tract as a
whole and enforceable by the property owners as a whole, providing that the lots
served only by such dead-end streets may be used for single-family residence only,
and providing that all such houses will be so located that the garage is accessible
directly from the street, and the principal entrance of the house is accessible directly
from the walk, that adequate space between buildings will be maintained, and that
buildings shall not cover more than 35 percent of the area of each such lot;
5. Where economically proper and feasible, business properties and
multiple-dwelling properties located only upon the through streets bounding the
super-blocks and served by adequate automobile parking space either off the street
or by special design of the street, and, in case ofbusiness properties, easily accessible
from aill parts of the tract by the system of walks above mentioned.
B. Provided, that in no case shall any lot have an area of less than 4,000
square feet; that every through street shall have a width of not less than 60 feet; that
every such dead-end street shall be entered directly from a through street, shall have
an adequate turning area at the dead end, and shall have a width of not less than 34
feet; that vision clearance and curb construction at block comers be maintained as
provided for in Section 21.24.110, even though the dedication lines so mapped may
differ from the requirements of Sections 21.24.110 and 21.24.290; that in sdl cases of
property fronting on such streets of reduced width or on walks, the distance
between houses across such streets or walks shall be not less than 50 feet, and that
where lots front upon such walks rather than upon streets, the side lines shall be, so
far as practical, at a right angle to said walks instead of the streets. (Ord. 85-0194 § 3
(part), 1985; Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 76, 1945.)

21.24370 Divisions of land for purpose of lease only. A. The advisory
agency may approve a tentative map of a division of land which does not comply in
all respects with the requirements of Parts 1, 2 and 3 of this chapter if:
1. The advisory agency finds:
a. The division of land is for lease only,
b. Because the lots are to be leased only and because of the
situation and development or proposed development of the division of land and
surrounding property, approval of the tentative map would not be detrimental to
the public welfare or property of other persons in the vicinity thereof;
2. On such tentative map, and on the final map or parcel map, there
appear, in letters not less than one-fourth inch in height, the words: "DIVISION OF
LAND FOR PURPOSE OF LEASE ONLY."
B. A person shall not sell, mortgage, place a deed of trust or other lien upon
any lot or other parcel in such division of land, or offer or contract to do so, unless
such transaction would be in full compliance with all of the provisions of this Title
21 and the Subdivision Map Act had such final map or such parcel map not been
filed.
C. The filing of such final map or of such parcel map authorizes the leasing
of any lot shown upon such map.
D. Except that the lots in a division of land for lease only need not comply
with the provisions of Section 21.24.240, this section does not modify in any way
any requirements in the Zoning Ordinance or any other ordinance or law as to area
or width requirements. (Ord. 11127 § I, 1975: Ord. 10486 § 8, 1972; Ord. 9071 § 7
(part), 1966: Ord. 7345 § 7, 1958: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 77, 1945.)
21.24380 Condominiums and community apartment projects. In a division
consisting of a condominium project as defined in Section 1350 of the Civil Code,
or a community apartment project as defined in Section 11004 of the Business and
Professions Code, maps of such subdivisions need not, but may, show the design of
the buildings and manner in which the buildings or the airspace above the property
shown on the map are to be divided. In all other respects, all of the provisions of this
Title 21 shall apply to such a subdivision. (Ord. 1 1 127 § 2, 1975: Ord. 9071 § 7 (part),

21.24390 Mobilehome divisions of land. A. The advisory agency may
approve a tentative map of a division of land which does not comply in all respects
with the requirements of Parts 1, 2 and 3 of this chapter if:
1. The advisory agency finds:
a. The division of land is for mobilehome purposes only,
b. The units of space proposed on the tentative map are for
mobilehomes and related facilities only and the development of a mobilehome
park on the property included within the division of land is in conformance with
the Zoning Ordinance set out at Tide 22;
2. On such tentative map and on the final map or parcel map, there
appear, in letters no less than one-fourth-inch in height, the words: **DIVIS10N OF
LAND FOR MOBILE HOME PURPOSES ONLY."
B. A person shall not use, lease, sell, mortgage, place a deed of trust or other
lien upon a unit of space within a mobilehome division of land for any purpose
other than a mobilehome and related facilities.
21-35 Supp. #6.3-90
21.24.390
C Except that the units in a division of land for mobilehome purposes need
not comply with the provisions of subsections A through D of Section 21.24.240,
this section does not modify in any way any requirements in the Zoning Ordinance
or any other ordinance or law as to area or width requirements.
D, In a mobile home division ofland, the owners of the units of space which
are occupied by mobilehomes and which may also be occupied by accessory uses
will hold an undivided interest in the common areas which will in turn provide the
necessary access and utility easements for the units. A note to this effect is required
on the final map or parcel map.
E. Title to the units and common areas in a mobilehome division ofland
and control and maintenance of the common areas shall be similar to those for
condominiums as contained in the Civil Code. (Ord. 1 1681 § 3, 1978: Ord. 4478
Art. 5 §77.1, 1945.)
21.24.400 Division of land adjacent to existing roads. A. If the advisory
agency finds that the proposed division of land abuts an existing road which has
improvements insufficient for the general use of the lot owners in the division of
land and local neighborhood and drainage needs, it may disapprove the design of
the division unless the subdivider improves or agrees to improve such road to the
same standards required of roads within all divisions ofland by Chapter 21.32.
B- Where a subdivider proposes to connect to an existing dead-end or cul-
de-sac street in which a turnaround has been installed, the advisory agency may
require the reconstruction of existing street improvements as a condition of such
connection. If the subdivider makes or agrees to make the required improvements,
all of the provisions of this Title 21 which apply to improvements and agreements
to improve within a division ofland shall apply. (Ord. 85-0168 § 13, 1985; Ord.
12408 § 1, 1981: Ord. 10485 § 14, 1972; Ord. 9204 § 4, 1966; Ord. 9071 § 7 (part),
1966: Ord. 7912 § 1, 1961: Ord. 4478 Art. 5 § 78, 1945.)
21.24.410 Coastal development permit required. When a subdivision lies
within the boundaries of the coastal zone, as defined in Section 30103 of the Public
Resources Code, the subdivider shall apply for a coastal development permit
concurrently with the tentative map. The advisory agency shall approve a tentative
map only if a coastal development permit has been approved for the land division.

2. As used in this Title 21, "park planning areas" means those
geographical areas depicted on the 2004 park planning area map of unincorporated
places and described in records contained in the department of parks and recreation.
3. For the purposes of calculating fees in lieu of park land, the
schedule of representative land values contained in subsection A 1 of this section
shall apply to the following residential subdivision maps that are first advertised by
the department of regional planning for hearing before either a hearing officer or the
Regional Planning Commission on or after the effective date of the ordinance adding
this language:
a. Tentative maps;
b. Tentative minor land division maps;
c. Revised maps, as described in subsection B of Section
21.62.030; and
d. Reactivated maps, which are previously approved tentative
maps that have expired and that must be processed as new tentative maps.
The representative land values contained in subsection Al of this section shall be
adjusted annually, effective July 1, by the department of parks and recreation, in
consultation with the county auditor-controller as follows: calculate the percentage
movement between March of the previous year and March of the current year in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers in the Los Angeles, Anaheim, and
Riverside areas, as published by the United States Government Bureau of Labor
Statistics, adjust the representative land value per acre in each park planning area by
said amount, and round to the nearest dollar. The adjusted representative land values
shall apply to the above-referenced residential subdivision maps that are first advertised
by the department of regional planning for hearing before either a hearing officer or the
Regional Planning Commission on or after the respective July 1 adjustment date.
B. Park fees shall be used only for the purpose of acquiring local park land or
developing new or rehabilitating existing recreational facilities to serve the park
planning area which includes the subdivision for which the fees were paid, or to ftjnd
improvements for county-owned local park facilities located within city limits that, but
for incorporation or annexation, were within, or would have been in, the park planning
area in which the subdivision for which the fees were paid is located. The advisory
agency shall waive the payment of fees required pursuant to this section, if it
determines that it is improbable that such fijnds can be utilized for this purpose within a
reasonable period of time after the map of the subdivision is filed with the county
recorder.
C. The department of parks and recreation shall develop a schedule specifying
how, when, and where it will use the land or fees, or both, from each subdivision to
develop park or recreational facilities within the applicable park planning area. Fees
collected shall be committed within five years after the payment of the fees or the
issuance of building permits on one-half of the lots created by the subdivision,
whichever occurs later. If the fees are not committed, they, without any deducfions,
shall be distributed and paid to the then record owners of the subdivision in the same
proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots within the
subdivision. (Ord. 2004-0023 §2, 2004: Ord. 93-0070 § 1, 1993: Ord. 88-0069 § 1,

tract map or a tentative minor land division map whichever is applicable, includ-
ing, but not limited to, criteria for rejection, dedications and the imposition of
conditions, except as hereinafter provided. (Ord. 86-0040 § 2 (part), 1986).

B. Notwithstanding the above provisions, a permit, approval, time exten-
sion and/or entitlement may be made conditioned or denied if any of the following

immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety;
or
2. The condition or denial is required in order to comply with the
mandates of either state or federal law. ..
C. The vested rights created herein by the approval or conditional approval

map, parcel map or grant of waiver is not approved by the legislative body, advisory
agency or other entity authorized to grant approval prior to the time limits set forth
in Section 21.38.050. If a final map, parcel map or grant of waiver is approved in
compliance with said section, these vested rights shall be effective for an initial
period of not to exceed one year thereafter. Prior to the expiration of the initial one-
year period, the subdivider may apply for an additional one-year extension of the
period of the vested right to the advisory agency. If the extension is denied, the
subdivider may appeal the denial to the board of supervisors within 15 days after
the action of the advisory agency.
D- Where several final maps, parcel maps or grants of waiver are recorded
on various phases of a development project covered by a single vesting tentative
map, the aforesaid one-year time period shall run for each phase when the final
map, parcel map or grant of waiver for that phase is recorded. The subdivider may
file for a one-year extension as provided for in subsection C and appeal the denial of
same in accordance therewith.

by advisory agency. When a subdivider files a vesting tentative map for a subdivi-
sion whose proposed development is inconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance in
existence at the time of filing, said inconsistency shall be so noted on the map. The
advisory agency may deny such a vesting tentative map or may approve it condi-
tioned on the subdivider obtaining the necessary change in the Zoning Ordinance
in order to eliminate the inconsistency. If the change in the Zoning Ordinance is
obtained, the approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative map shall
confer the vested right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance
with the change in the ordinance and the map as approved by the Advisory Agency.

Whenever, in the opinion of the advisory agency, the land involved in a subdivision
is of such size or shape, or is subject to such title limitations of record or is affected
by such topographical location or conditions, or is to be devoted to such usage, that it
is impossible or impractical for the subdivider to conform fully to a regulation
contained in this Title 21, the advisory agency may at the time of action on the
tentative map of the subdivision modify the regulation, provided that in the case of
each modification the advisory agency shall first find that a special, individual reason
makes the strict letter of the regulation impossible or impractical of observance and
that the modification is in conformity with the spirit and purpose of the Subdivision
Map Act and of this title; and provided, further, that the advisory agency shall make
a report in writing setting forth each modification and the facts relied upon for

requirements or conditions, when the failure of a map submitted for approval is the
result of a technical and inadvertent error which, in the determination of the advisory
agency, the county engineer or the board of supervisors does not materially affect the
validity of the map. Such waivers shall not result in the invalidation or negation of
any substantive requirement of this title, the Subdivision Map Act, or any other
ordinance, statute or regulation.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY CODE
TITLE 22
PLANNING AND ZONING
The provisions codified in this code reflect changes made by all county ordinances up to
and including Ordinance 2008-0012U, passed April 1, 2008. The latest ordinance amending
Title 22 of the code is Ordinance 2007-0091, passed August 21, 2007. The latest ordinance
making a zoning map change is Ordinance 2007-01 19Z, passed December 18, 2007.
22-i Supp. # 76, 5-08
PUBLISHER'S NOTE
The Los Angeles County Code is organized by subject matter under an expandable,
three-factor decimal numbering system which is designed to facilitate future changes
with minimum disturbance to current regulations. Each section number includes in its
sequence the title, chapter and section number. For example. Section 22,20.340 is
Section 340 (.340) in Chapter 20 (.20) of Title 22. In most instances, sections are
numbered by tens (.010, .020, .030, etc.), leaving nine vacant positions between
original sections to accommodate new provisions. Chapters and titles are also
numbered to provide for expansion.
Following each section is a note indicating the section of Ordinance 1494 which is
printed in that section. Changes made after Ordinance 12377 show the amendment
history in that note. For amendments before Ordinance 12377, see the table of
amendments for Ordinance 1494 set out in Appendix 1 of Title 22.
A cross-reference table, locating current placement of all Ordinance 1494 provisions
in the new code, is set out in Appendix 2 of Title 22.
Footnotes to statutory provisions and to related code provisions in other code volumes
appear at the end of each title.
A subject-matter index covering all the provisions of this Title 22 and locating
subjects by code section number is set out at the end of the title.
A complete Ordinance List and Disposition Table is set forth in Volume 8 of the
code; it lists all the county's ordinances, gives an outline of their contents and
subjects, and indicates the chapter of the code where each ordinance's provisions
appear.

Note: Section 437, Hacienda Heights, was created from portions of Sections 358, La Habra Heights; 387,
Puente; 388, East Whittier; and 408, Workman Mill.
Note: The above list includes current districts as well as various districts and portions thereof which have
been removed from county zoning jurisdiction through incorporations and annexations of the
unincorporated area.

Sections:
22.20.460 Uses and development standards.
22.20.460 Uses and development standards. Property in Zone RPD may be
used for:
A. Any use permitted in Zone R-1 under the same limitations and conditions,
including auxiliary and transitional uses, front, side and rear yards, garages and
carports, and area requirements, and those provisions of Part 2 of Chapter 22.52
which relate to Zone R-1.
B. If a conditional use permit has first been obtained as provided in Part 1 of
Chapter 22.56, property in Zone RPD may be used for a planned residential
development, including a mobilehome park, subject to approval by the hearing
officer, which will afford the same or lesser density of population or intensity of use
than is specified in the zone.
— It is the intent of planned residential development to promote residential
amenities beyond those expected under conventional development, to
achieve greater flexibility in design, to encourage well-planned
neighborhoods through creative and imaginative planning as a unit, and to
provide for appropriate use of land which is sufficiently unique in its
physical characteristics or other circumstances to warrant special methods
of development. In implementing planned development, it is further
declared the purpose of this section to reduce developmental problems in
hillside areas and to preserve areas of natural scenic beauty through the
encouragement of integrated plarming, integrated design and unified
control of development.
— Approval by the hearing officer shall be based upon findings that the plan
compiles with the intent of planned residential development as set forth in
this subsection B, provides as well or better for light and air, for public
safety and convenience, the protection of property values and the
preservation of the general welfare of the community, than if developed
as provided in subsecfion A of this section, and shall be subject to all of
the following provisions:
1. Area. The proposed development plan shall include, as a condition
of use, a parcel of land containing not less than five acres. A development plan may
be considered on a parcel of land less than five acres in area when such
Supp. #70, 11-06 22-82
22.20.460
property is in Zone RPD and lias a common boundary witii property wiiich has been
developed under an approved plan pursuant to this subsection B. In this case, the plan
shall indicate that the proposed development will constitute an orderly extension in
arrangement of buildings, facilities and open space throughout the combined parcels
of land in addition to all the other requirements for approval of a conditional use
permit.
2. Density. When property in Zone RPD is developed pursuant
to this subsection B, the number of units for each acre of the net area shall be equal
to the number preceding the letter "U" in the suffix to the zoning symbol.
The provisions of Part 17 of Chapter 22.52 and Part 18 of Chapter
22.56, regarding housing permits for qualified projects, shall apply in Zone RPD.
3. Type of Structures.
a. Dwelling units may be in single-family detached, two-
family or multiple residential structures, or they may be mobilehomes as defined in
this Title 22 or factory-built houses as defined in the Health and Safety Code of the
state, depending upon adjacent development and the compensating features of the
development plan.
b. The hearing officer may approve places of public
assembly, recreational buildings and accessory buildings if for the primary use of
persons residing within the planned development project and located so as not to be
detrimental to adjacent properties. Distance between buildings shall not be less than
10 feet for one-story and two-story structures, plus two additional feet for each story
above the second.
c. The hearing officer, in considering placement and type
of structures, may modify or require a greater depth for yards than would be required
if developed as provided in subsection A. Provisions regarding yards and distances
between buildings shall not apply to mobilehomes within mobilehome parks.
4. Open Space. Open space shall comprise not less than 30
percent of the net area; provided however, that where the applicant submits evidence
to the satisfaction of the hearing officer that the particular development will contain
compensatory characteristics which will provide as well as better for planned unit
development within the intent of this section, the hearing officer may modify said
requirements.
— Subject to the approval of the hearing officer, open space may
include one or more of the following, designated for the use
and enjoyment of all of the occupants of the planned
residential development or appropriate phase thereof:
a. Common open space developed for recreational
purposes;
b. Areas of scenic or natural beauty forming a portion of
the proposed development;
c. Present or future recreational areas of a noncommercial
nature, including parks, playgrounds and beaches. Where specifically approved by
the hearing officer, green fees or similar charges related to use of a golf course or
similar open recreational use may be permitted, provided such charges are incidental
22-82.1 supp.# 70, 11-06
22.20.460
to operation of said facilities, are not primarily commercial in nature, and do not alter
the character of said recreational facility;
d. Present or future hiking, riding or bicycle trails;
e. Landscaped portions adjacent to streets or highways
which are in excess of minimum required rights-of-way;
f. Other similar areas determined appropriate by the
hearing officer.

consideration to the project to be developed, the characteristics of
such open space, the manner in which the open space is to be
improved and maintained, and such other information as the hearing
officer deems pertinent. Reservation of open space shall be made a
condition of approval. Such reservation shall be by public
dedication, establishment of a maintenance district, common
ownership, or other satisfactory means to insure the permanent
reservation of, and where appropriate perpetual maintenance of,
required open space.
5. Building Coverage. Buildings shall not occupy more than 50
percent of the net area, except that common recreational buildings are excluded from
this building-coverage limitation.
6. Parking. The provisions of Part 1 1 of Chapter 22.52 which
specify the number and/or location of required parking spaces relating to dwelling
units, places of public assembly and other recreational uses shall not apply when
property in Zone RPD is developed pursuant to this subsection B. In granting a
conditional use permit for a planned residential development, the hearing officer
shall require automobile parking for such uses in an amount adequate to prevent
traffic congestion and excessive onstreet parking; provided, however, in no event
shall less than one covered parking space per dwelling unit, or less than 50 percent of
the required number of parking spaces for public assembly or recreational uses
specified in said Part 1 1 of Chapter 22.52 be permitted.
— Where the hearing officer fails to specifically designate such
parking requirements, the requirements of Part 1 1 of Chapter
22.52 shall be deemed to have been specified.
7. Utilities. The applicant shall submit to the hearing officer, and
it shall be made a condition of approval, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has
made arrangements with the serving utilities to install underground all new facilities
necessary to furnish service in the development. This requirement may be waived
where it would cause undue hardship or constitute an unreasonable requirement.
8. Development Schedule. The hearing officer shall approve a
progress schedule indicating the development of open-space related to the
construction of residential dwelling units, which shall become a condition of
approval. Where development is to be completed in phases, the said development
may, with the approval of the hearing officer, be coordinated between phases as
approved in subdivision 1 1 of this subsection B. The hearing officer may modify.

appropriate, shall be submitted to and approved by the hearing officer.
1 1 . Distribution of Open Space. Planned development projects
developed in phases shall be designated so that each successive phase will contain
open space to independently qualify under the provisions of subdivision 4 of this
subsection B; provided, however, that where the applicant submits development
plans indicating to the satisfaction of the hearing officer that the proposed
development will provide as well or better for planned unit development within the
intent of this section, the hearing officer may approve a division of open space
encompassing more than one phase.
— Where a division of open space will encompass more than one
phase, the applicant shall provide the hearing officer with a
map indicating cumulative allocation and utilization of open
space for each successive phase in each subsequent
application.
12. Division of Lots or Parcels. In addition to a tentative division
of land map when required by Title 21 of this code, where lots or parcels of land are
to be sold or separated in ownership from other property in the development, or
applicable phase thereof, a map shall be submitted to the hearing officer, indicating
the proposed boundaries of the lots or parcels of land to be sold or separated in
ownership. Where the proposed division would create one or more lots or parcels of
land having an area of less than that specified if developed as provided in subsection
A of this section, said map shall also delineate the relationship between said lots or
parcels of land and open space provided as required in subdivision 4 of this
subsection B. The hearing officer shall consider the proposed separation in
ownership and may approve such separation where, in the hearing officer's opinion,
the proposed separation provides as well or better for planned development within
the intent of this section.
13. Sale or Separation of Lots or Parcels. Where lots or parcels of
land are sold or otherwise separated in ownership, no dwelling unit or lot or parcel of
land for a residential building shall be sold or encumbered separately from an
undivided interest in the open-space appurtenant to such dwelling unit or lot or parcel
of land where required by subdivision 4 of this subsection B. Such undivided interest
shall include either:
a. An undivided interest in the open space; or
b. A share in the corporation, or voting membership in an
association owning the open-space where approved as provided in subsection B4.

development in which the hearing officer may approve any nonresidential use
permitted in Zone C-1. In the conditional use permit, the hearing officer may modify
any of the prescribed standards of development pertaining thereto. Such uses shall be
subject to all of the following provisions:
1. Need For. The hearing officer shall not grant a conditional use
permit for a planned commercial development in Zone CPD unless it finds that the
proposed commercial development is needed to serve the immediately adjacent area,
and development has occurred, or is proposed, which will warrant such commercial
development.
2. Design. The arrangement of buildings, architectural design and the
types of commercial uses shall be such as to minimize adverse influences on adjacent
properties.
3. Access and Parking. Adequate provision shall be made for vehicular
access, parking and loading so as to prevent undue traffic congestion on adjacent
streets and highways, particularly on local streets.

percent of the gross area. In calculating "gross area," any streets or highways on the
perimeter of the parcel of land, or any major or secondary highway or parkway that
traverses the property, or any area which is required to be dedicated, or a private
easement given for any such street or highway, shall be excluded.
5. Utilities. The applicant shall submit to the hearing officer, and it
shall be made a condition of approval, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has
made arrangements with the serving utilities to install underground all new facilities
necessary to furnish service in the development. This requirement may be waived
where it would cause undue hardship or constitute an unreasonable requirement.
6. Signs. The hearing officer, in granting the conditional use permit,
may allow advertising signs permitted in Zone C-l which he finds will be in keeping
with the concept of planned development.
7. Development features. The development plan shall include yards,
walls, walks, landscaping and such other features as may be needed to make the
commercial development attractive, adequately buffered from adjacent more
restrictive uses, and in keeping with the character of the surrounding area.
8. Development Schedule. The hearing officer shall approve a
progress schedule including all phases of development and indicating that the
improvements described in the development plan will be made prior to occupancy

A. Any use permitted in Zone SR-D, and any nonresidential use permitted in
Zone R-A under the same limitations and conditions, including auxiliary and
transitional uses, front, side and rear yards, parking standards, height limits and other
development requirements specified in the respective zones.
B. If a conditional use permit has first been obtained as provided in Part 1 of
Chapter 22.56, property in Zone MPD may be used for a planned industrial
development in which the hearing officer may approve any use permitted in Zone M-
IV2, subject to all of the following provisions:
•
22-160.1 Supp. # 69, 8-06
22.32.150
1. Area. The proposed development plan shall include a parcel of land
having, as a condition of use, not less than five acres. A development plan may be
considered on a parcel of land less than five acres in area when such property is in Zone
MPD and has a common boundary with property which has been developed under an
approved plan pursuant to this subsection B. In such case, the plan shall indicate that the
proposed development will constitute an orderly extension in arrangement of buildings,
facilities and improvements throughout the combined parcels of land in addition to all
the other requirements for approval of a conditional use permit.
2. Compatibility. The proposed development, including the specific
industrial uses proposed, shall not be in conflict with the objectives of the general plan
for the area.
3. Design. The structural improvements shall not detract from the
established or anticipated character of the surrounding area, as indicated by schematic
drawings and renderings to scale showing the architectural design of buildings and
structures to be established.
4. Access and Parking. Adequate provision shall be made for vehicular
access, parking and loading so as to prevent undue traffic congestion on adjacent streets
or highways, particularly local streets.
5. Building Density. The floor area ratio shall not be greater than 1 .0, and
the ground-floor area of buildings shall not exceed 60 percent of the gross area of the lot
or parcel of land. This does not permit a reduction in the parking requirement specified
in this Title 22. In calculating "gross area," any streets or highways on the perimeter of
the parcel of land, or any major or secondary highway or parkway that traverses the
property, or any area which is required to be dedicated or a private easement given for
any such street or highway, shall be excluded.
6. Utilities. The applicant shall submit to the hearing officer, and it shall
be made a condition of approval, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has made
arrangements with the serving utilities to install underground all new facilities necessary
to furnish service in the development. This requirement may be waived where it would
cause undue hardship or constitute an unreasonable requirement.
7. Signs. The hearing officer, in granting the conditional use permit, may
allow signs which it finds will be in keeping with the concept of plarmed development.
8. Development Features. The development plan shall include yards,
walls, walks, landscaping and other such features as may be needed to make the
industrial development attractive, adequately buffered from adjacent more restrictive
uses, and in keeping with the established or anticipated development of the surrounding
area.
9. Development Schedule. The hearing officer shall approve a progress
schedule, including all phases of development, and indicating that the improvements
described in the development plan will be made prior to occupancy of industrial
buildings. The hearing officer may modify without a hearing this condition pertaining to
the development schedule based upon an affirmative showing, in writing, of hardship.
10. Tentative Subdivision Map. A tentative map shall be filed and made a
condition of approval.
C. If a conditional use permit has first been obtained as provided in Part 1 of
Chapter 22.56, property in Zone MPD may be used for child care centers. (Ord. 2004-

C. A conditional use permit shall be of no force or effect until all persons
having any right, title or interest in the property for which such permit is granted, or
any portion thereof, execute and record in the office of the county recorder an
instrument reading substantially as follows:
"Whereas we have sought and have been granted a conditional use permit,
permitting the use of the following described property (name of use permitted) to wit,
(describe property); and
"Whereas the whole of the said property (or a substantial portion thereof, if that
be the fact) is in the unincorporated area of the County of Los Angeles and in Zone
M-2V2, under Ordinance No. 1494, the Zoning Ordinance, which zone is designed to
be used for the operation of large airports, aircraft manufacturing plants, aircraft
modification, overhaul or repair plants, aircraft power plant testing stations, or other
heavy industrial uses which cause loud noises, heavy vibrations, or other conditions
which may be very detrimental to such trades and industries, and as a buffer zone for
certain unzoned lawful aircraft uses referred to in said Ordinance; and
"Whereas we have assured the County of Los Angeles that such heavy industrial
uses will not be in any way detrimental to the use requested by us;
"NOW, THEREFORE, as a condition (or one of the conditions) of the granting
of said conditional permit, we hereby covenant and agree, both for ourselves and for
our successors in interest, and assigns, that we will not, nor will any of us or any of
our successors in interest, or assigns, seek damages for, or attempt to enjoin or
complain of, the reasonable and necessary operation of any use permitted in Zone
M-21/2, or of any unzoned lawful aircraft use and which use is not in violation of said
Ordinance No. 1494, or of any other ordinance or law."
D. The execution of or promise to execute such instrument may be deemed to
be evidence that zoned aircraft or other heavy uses permitted in Zone M-lVi, or
unzoned lawful aircraft uses, will not detrimentally affect such use.

MXD MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ZONE
Sections:
22.40.5 1 Established — Purpose.
22.40.520 Uses and development standards.
22.40.510 Established — Purpose. A. Zone MXD is established to provide
for planned mixed-use developments which may contain residential, commercial,
22-203 Supp. » 6, 3-90
22.40.510
industrial and other such uses. By allowing greater flexibility in design and encour-
aging innovative and creative planning, Zone MXD provides the opportunity to
combine various land uses in well-planned developments which may contain
multi-use buildings or several single-purpose buildings each containing a different
use. It is the intent of the mixed use development zone to:
1. Integrate a variety of housing densities with commercial, indus-
trial or other uses, thus reducing transportation costs, energy consumption and air
pollution, preserve precious land resources, and foster varied human environ-
ments through unified planning, design and control of development;
2. Implement the land use and special management area policies of
the countywide General Plan; and
3. Implement the policies and provisions of adopted coastal, com-
munity and redevelopment plans.
B. Approval by the hearing officer shall be based upon findings that the
plan complies with the intent of planned mixed-use development as set forth in
subsection A of this section, and provides as well or better for light and air, for
public safety and convenience, the protection of property values and the preserva-
tion of the general welfare of the community, than if developed as a Zone R-A use as
provided in subsection A of Section 22.40.520. (Ord. 89-0150 § I, 1989; Ord. 85-
0195 § 9 (part), 1985; Ord. 83-0072 § 3 (part), 1983.)
22.40.520 Uses and development standards. Property in Zone MXD may
be used for
A. Any use listed as permitted, accessory, subject to director's review or
subject to permit in Zone R-A under the same limitations, conditions and develop-
ment standards including, but not limited to: accessory and transitional uses; yard,
height, parking and area requirements;
B. A mixed use development if a conditional use permit has first been
obtained as provided in Pan 1 of Chapter 22.56. The hearing officer may approve
any use or combination of uses listed as permitted, accessory, subject to director's
review or subject to permit in Zones R-4, M-1, A-C and SR-D. In granting a
conditional use permit, the hearing officer may impose any condition, in addition
to those authorized by Section 22.56.100, which it believes necessary to foster the
harmonious development of mixed land uses and to prevent any adverse impacts
of uses internal or external to the development. Unless specifically waived or
modified by the hearing officer, mixed use developments shall be subject to all of
the following requirements:
1. Area.
a. The proposed development plan shall include, as a condition
of use, a parcel of land containing not less than five acres. A development plan may
be considered on a parcel of land less than five acres in area when:
i. Such property is in Zone MXD and has a common
boundary with property which has been developed under an approved plan pur-
suant to this subsection B;
ii. Such development plan is appropriate and necessary to
implement land use and special management areas policies of the countywide
General Plan; or
iii. S uch development plan is appropriate and necessary to
implement provisions of an adopted coastal, community or redevelopment plan.
Supp. # 6. 3-90 22-204
22.40.520
b. In cases involving a parcel of less than five acres, the plan
shall indicate that the proposed development will constitute an appropriate and
orderly extension and/or arrangement of buildings, facilities and open space, in
addition to all the other requirements for approval of a conditional use permit.
2. Building Coverage and Density. Buildings shall not occupy more
than 50 percent of the net area, nor shall the floor area ratio for a lot or parcel of land
exceed 2.0.
3. Design and Development Features. Site plans and preliminary
architectural plans shall show that the arrangement of uses and buildings, the
architectural design of all structures, and the development features of the proposed
22-204.1 Supp. #6.3-90
22.40.520
project constitute a well-planned development which does not detract from or have
any adverse impacts on the residents or land in the surrounding area. To accom-
plish this, such plans shall include yards, walls, walks, landscaping, open space,
buffer areas and other similar features.
4. Open Space. Open space shall comprise not less than 30 percent of
the net area; provided, however, that where the applicant submits evidence to the
satisfaction of the hearing officer that the particular development will contain
compensatory characteristics which will provide as well or better for planned
mixed use development within the intent of this section, the hearing officer may
modify said requirements.
— Subject to the approval of the hearing officer, open space may
include one or more of the following, provided that they are
designated for the use and enjoyment of all the occupants of the
planned mixed use development or appropriate phase thereof;
a. Common open space developed for recreational purposes;
b. Areas of scenic or natural beauty forming a portion of the
proposed development;
c. Present or future recreational areas of a noncommercial nature,
including parks, playgrounds and beaches. Where specifically
approved by the hearing officer, green fees or similar charges
related to use of a golf course or similar open recreational use may
be permitted, provided such charges are incidental to operation of
said facilities, are not primarily commercial in nature, and do not
alter the character of said recreational facility;
d. Present or future hiking, riding or bicycle trails;
e. Landscaped portions adjacent to streets or highways which are
in excess of minimum required rights-of-way;
f. Other similar areas determined appropriate by the hearing
officer.
— In approving said open space, the hearing officer shall give consid-
eration to the project to be developed, the characteristics of such
open space, the manner in which the open space is to be improved
and maintained, and such other information as the hearing officer
deems pertinent. Reservation of open space shall be made a condi-
tion of approval. Such reservation shall be by public dedication,
establishment of a maintenance district, common ownership, or
other satisfactory means to ensure the permanent reservation of,
and where appropriate perpetual maintenance of, required open
space.
5. Building Design. Buildings may be designed for single or multiple
use. Buildings designed for multiple use shall provide adequate separation between
different uses to ensure their compatibihty. There shall also be adequate spacing
between buildings to ensure safety and compatibility. Special attention shall be
given where residential uses are developed in proximity to commercial or indus-
trial uses. Building heights shall be established to conserve land, enhance solar
access, create visual landmarJcs, and protect privacy.
6. Landscaping.
a. All portions of the lot or parcel of land exclusive of structures,
access roads and other similar facilities shall be landscaped and maintained in a
neat, clean and healthful condition. Special attention shall be given to landscaping
22-205
22.40.520
and screening of parking lots and loading areas. This shall include proper pruning,
mowing of lawns, weeding, removal of litter, fertilizing, replacement of plants when
necessary, and the regular watering of all plantings by means of a fixed and
permanent water system consisting of piped water lines terminating in an appropri-
ate number of sprinklers and/or hose bibs to insure a sufficient amount ofwater for
plants within the landscaped area. Where the watering system consists of hose bibs
alone, these bibs shall be located not more than 50 feet apart within the required
landscaped area. Sprinklers used to satisfy the requirements of this provision shall
be spaced to assure complete coverage of the required landscaped area.
b. A landscaping plan shall be submitted to and approved by
the hearing officer. Native and/or fire and drought resistant plant materials shall be
used to the greatest extent possible.
7. Residential Density. When property in Zone MXD is developed
pursuant to this subsection B, the number of units for each acre of the net area shall
be equal to the number preceding the letter "U" in the suffix to the zoning symbol.
8. Utilities. The applicant shall submit to the hearing officer, and it
shall be made a condition of approval, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has
made arrangements with the serving utilities to install underground all new facili-
ties necessary to furnish service in the development. This requirement may be
waived where it would cause undue hardship or constitute an unreasonable
requirement.
9. Parking and Access.
a. The provisions of Part 1 1 of Chapter 22.52 which specify the
number and/or location of required parking spaces relating to dwelling units, places
of public assembly, commercial or industrial uses and other uses shall not apply
when property in Zone MXD is developed pursuant to this subsection B and where
the hearing officer specifies different parking standards.
Where the hearing officer specifies different parking standards in grant-
ing a conditional use permit for a planned mixed use development, the hearing
officer shall require parking for such development in an amount adequate to
prevent traffic congestion and excessive on-street parking; provided, however, in
no event shall less than one parking space per dwelling unit, or less than 50 percent
of the required number of parking spaces for public assembly, commercial or
industrial uses specified in said Part 11 of Chapter 22.52 be permitted. Special
attention shall be given to the parking needs of residents, visitors, employees,
customers and other persons using the site.
b. Where the hearing officer fails to specifically designate differ-
ent parking requirements, the requirements of Part 11 of Chapter 22,52 shall be
deemed to have been specified.
c. There shall be adequate provision for and separation of
different transportation modes including pedestrian, bicycle, automobile and
truck. Provision shall also be made for public transportation facilities where
appropriate.
10. Signs. The hearing officer, in granting the conditional use permit,
may allow specific signs which it finds will be in keeping with the concept of
planned mixed use development.
11. Outside Activities.

existing in a building on the front portion of the same lot or parcel of land, and
provided no storage is higher than the enclosure surrounding it nor nearer than 50
feet to the front property line.
c. Special attention shall be given to screening outside storage
from view of properties and uses which are higher in elevation than the proposed
storage area.
d. Any outdoor area used for storage shall be completely
enclosed by a solid masonry wall and solid gate, not less than five feet nor more than
six feet in height, except that the director may approve the substitution of a fence or
decorative wall where, in his opinion, such wall or fence will adequately comply
with the provisions of this section. All such requests for substitution shall be subject
to the provisions of Part 12 of Chapter 22.56.
12. Use Restrictions. The location of all uses shall be approved by the
hearing officer. When it is not possible to indicate specific uses, the hearing officer
may establish locations for broad categories of use types which have similar
characteristics. In exercising its discretion, the hearing officer may prohibit certain
uses, such as those involving hazardous materials, from the development when he
finds that such uses would be detrimental to the safety or general welfare of persons
and property. The hearing officer may establish hours of operation, operating
restrictions, performance standards or other conditions necessary to promote a
well-planned development which is compatible with the surrounding area. Uses
may be added, changed, expanded, moved or otherwise altered under the following
situations:
22-207
22.40.520
a. Upon approval of the director, provided such change does
not increase the occupant load, increase the parking requirement, or constitute a
change in the use category; or
b. Upon approval of the hearing officer, those changes that do
not qualify for director's review under subsection B12a above. The hearing officer's
action does not require a public hearing if such change is approved by the property
owners' association or similar organization of the development and all adjoining
property owners; or
c. All other situations require a filing of a new conditional use
permit.
13. General Performance Standards. Any existing or proposed use, or
portion thereof, shall conform to the following performance standards:
a. Noise shall be controlled in such a manner so as not to create
a nuisance or hazard on any adjacent property.
b. The emission of odorous, toxic or noxious matter shall be
controlled in such a manner that no concentration of such matter, at or beyond the

22.44.113 Agua Dulce Community Standards District. A. Intent and
Purpose. The Agua Dulce Community Standards District is established to protect
the secluded rural character of the community, to enhance the community's unique
appeal, and to avoid the premature need for costly linear service systems such as
sewers and water systems within the community. There have been a number of
studies of Agua Dulce and its existing service systems. These studies have shown
that, in 1983, 71 percent of the existing parcels were two acres in size or larger,
and that increased densities might require expensive public sewage and water
systems. The Santa Clarita Valley Areawide General Plan contains policy which
clearly define standards for the future development of Agua Dulce.

22.44.126 Acton Community Standards District. A. Intent and Purpose.
The Acton Community Standards District is established to protect and enhance the
rural, equestrian and agricultural character of the community and its sensitive
features including significant ecological areas, floodplains, hillsides. National
Forest, archaeological resources, multipurpose trail system, and Western heritage
architectural theme. The standards are intended to ensure reasonable access to public
nding and hiking trails, and to minimize the need for installation of infrastructure
such as sewers, streetlights, concrete sidewalks and concrete flood control systems
that would alter the community's character, while providing for adequate drainage
and other community safety features.
B. Description of District Boundary. The boundaries of the district are
shown on the map following this section.
C . Community- Wide Development Standards. Except where a more specific
application is prescribed, or prior to the approval of a new structure or addition to
an existing structure where the cumulative area of all additions made after the
adoption of this section adds at least 400 square feet to the footprint of either
primary or accessory structures, a site plan shall be submitted to and approved by
the planning director to assure compliance with the following development stan-
dards:
1. Hillside Design Considerations. Hillside resources are among the
most important features of the Acton community. Hillside regulations shall be
enforced by a speciflc written analysis in each case, demonstrating conformance
with the following objectives. Development plans shall comply with the following
objectives:
a. Preserve to the greatest extent possible existing natural
contours and natural rock outcropping features. Structures and required provisions
for access and public safety should be designed to minimize encroachment on such
features by the use of such techniques as curvilinear street designs and landform
grading designs which blend any manufactured slopes or required drainage benches
into the natural topography;
b. Preserve to the greatest extent possible the natural silhouette
in significant ridgeline areas. Significant ridgelines are the ridgelines that surround
or visually dominate the Acton landscape eiUier through their size in relation to the
hillside or mountain terrain of which they are a part, or through their visual
dominance as characterized by a silhouetting appearance against the sky, or through
their visual dominance due to proximity and view from existing development,
freeways and highways designated as Major, Secondary or Limited Secondary on
the Highway Plan;
c. While observing minimum lot area standards contained in this
section, cluster development where such technique can be demonstrated to substan-
tially reduce grading alterations and contribute to the preservation of native
vegetation and prominent landmark features;
d. Blend buildings and structures into the terrain by sensitive use
of building setbacks, structure heights and architectural designs; and
e. Minimize disruption of view corridors, scenic vistas and
adjacent property by the use of sensitive site design and grading techniques.
2. Preservation of Native Vegetation. Development plans shall
emphasize the protection of, and revegetation with, native vegetation, including the
native plants, grasses, shrubs and trees which intercept, hold and more slowly
release rainfall than bare earth surfaces. It is intended that equestrian uses such as
stables and arenas which will result in vegetation removal be accommodated^
provided the design of these uses does not create erosion or flooding potential that
would create a safety hazard to structures or off-site property, as determined by the
department of public works. On any parcel consisting of one acre or greater, the
removal or destruction of native vegetation exceeding 10 percent of the parcel area
22-232.4f,9 Sopp. # 28, 2-96
22.44.126
within any 12-nionth period shall require the director's approval.
a. Required Site Plan. All permit applications involving grading
(including brushing or vegetation removal to accommodate equestrian uses) must
include a site plan for director's review. This information may be submitted in
conjunction with other site plan information that may be required for the project.
Within hillside areas, such site plan must comply with Section 22.56.215, which
requires a conditional use permit for projects in hillside management areas. This
information shall not substitute for oak tree permit requirements. Material submitted
shall include:
i. A description of the property, accompanied by a map
showing the topography of the land and the location of any drainage courses; the
location and extent of the proposed work and details of the precautionary measures
or devices to be used to prevent erosion and flood hazards, including, if necessary,
a drainage plan by a civil engineer showing routing of runoff, estimate of quantity
and frequency of runoff, character of soils and channel sections and gradients;
ii. A landscaping plan supportive of this subsection showing
existing and proposed landscaping, acceptable to the department of region^
planning. Such plan shall specifically identify California junipers, manzanita. Great
Basin sage and Joshua trees and generally describe the type and condition of native
vegetation. Soil types shall be specified in order to assess the feasibility of
revegetation. Relandscaping of disturbed areas should emphasize the use of existing
native, drought tolerant vegetation;
iii. A long-term maintenance program for all landscaping
in the proposed plan, both undisturbed and revegetated; the program shall focus on
revegetated areas and shall cover a two-year period; funding provisions for the
maintenance program shall be specified; and
iv. Such other vegetation information as the director may
deem necessary to fulfill the purpose of protecting property and public safety and
preserving the character of the Acton community.
b. Issuance Conditions. The director shall approve the site plan
with appropriate conditions, relating to this subsection only, for all or a portion of
the proposed work when satisfied:
i. That the performance of such work is consistent with
the intent of this subsection to preserve native vegetation;
ii. That such work will not result in a flood or erosion
hazard to this or other properties; and
iii. That the proposed work conforms with the requirements
of other laws or ordinances.
c. For commercial agricultural uses, relief from the standards
of this subsection pertaining to replacement with native vegetation may normally
be granted through the provisions of subsection (C)(13) of this section.
d. Exceptions. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply
to, and a grading permit is not required for:
i. The removal or reduction of vegetation for the purpose
of complying with county regulations relating to brush clearance for fire safety. This
exception includes not only required vegetation confrol around structures but also
the creation and maintenance by a public agency of firebreaks used to control the
spread of fire;
ii. The removal or destruction of vegetation on publicly
owned rights-of-way for roads, highways, flood control projects or other similar or
related uses;
iii. The removal or destruction of vegetation by public
utilities on rights-of-way or property owned by such utility, or on land providing
access to such rights-of-way or property;
iv . Work performed under a permit issued for precautionary
Supp. # 28, 2-96 22-232.4f. 10
22.44.126
measures to control erosion and flood hazards; and
V. The selective removal or destruction of noxious weeds
or plants which pose a hazard to animals.
3. Architectural Style and Project Design Considerations.
a. All uses in commercial land classifications in the Antelope
Valley Area Plan and all nonresidential uses within urban residential or nonurban
land classil^cations which are not accessory to residential structures shall:
i. Not exceed a height of 35 feet except for chimneys and
pole antennas, which may not exceed a height of 45 feet;
ii. Be designed in a "Western frontier village, circa 1890s
style** in substantial conformance with the architectural style guidelines accompany-
ing this community standards district as an appendix and as maintained in the office
of the planning director; and
iii. Be designed to conceal from public view all external
utilities, such as roof -mounted air conditioning or heating units, or other improve-
ments not contributing to the Western architectural design, such as satellite dish
antennas. Solar panels that are designed as part of a roof line and blend with the
overall roof appearance need not be concealed. An exterior architectural rendering,
with materials and colors indicated, shall be submitted with any request for
director's review for structural improvements.
b. Restricted access subdivisions are prohibited.
4. Drainage. The following provisions are intended to slow or reduce
runoff from new development and protect and enhance the rural character of Acton.
In addition to existing county standards for the control of runoff, the following
standards shall be observed:
a. The maximum impervious finished surface area for residential
and associated accessory uses shall not exceed 10 percent for lots three net acres
or larger; not exceed 21 percent or 13,000 square feet, whichever is smaller, for
lots between one and one-quarter net acres and three net acres; and not exceed 42
percent or 11,000 square feet, whichever is smaller, for lots smaller than one and
one-quaner net acres;
b. Maximum impervious finished surface areas for nonresidential
uses shall not exceed:
i. 65 percent for open storage and homes for the aged;
ii. 74 percent for hospitals, cemeteries, mausoleums and
mortuaries;
iii. 82 percent for churches and schools; or
iv. 90 percent for stores, office buildings, warehousing,
manufacturing, storage, shopping centers, restaurants, service stations, parking lots,
motels/hotels, kennels, lumber yards, professional buildings, banks and supermar-
kets;
c. Partially impervious surfaces, such as perforated concrete
blocks that allow vegetation growth, may be used where public safety is not a
consideration, such as private patios and driveways; credit shall be given for the
portion of such surfaces that are not impervious. This provision shall not be used
to modify standards for parking surfaces required by Section 22.52.1060;
d. All residential buildings with rain gutters shall collect and
direct all roof runoff towards permeable surfaces, rather tfian towards impervious
surfaces such as paved driveways;
e. The Acton Community Standards District discourages the use
of concrete facilities to mitigate flood hazards; and
f. Flood hazard mitigation shall be consistent with floodplain
management practices and existing drainage policies.
5. Billboards. The Acton Community Standards District shall be
designated a billboard exclusion zone in compliance with Part 3 of Chapter 22.40.

a. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, all signs
pennitted by this subsection shaJl conform to the following:
i. Signage shall be unobtrusive and shall promote the style
of the Western frontier architectural guidelines; and
ii. Lighting shall be external, using fixtures designed to
focus all light directly on the sign, and internal illumination shall be prohibited.
b. Except as specifically exempted by Section 22.S2.8 10, no sign,
including those prohibited by Section 22.52.990, shall be erected within the district
except as provided for by this subsection:
i. Wall business signs, as provided by Section 22.52.880,
except that no wall business sign attached to a building, including the roof, shall
be higher than the highest point of the building, excluding chimneys and antennas.
The maximum area pennitted of a wall sign is one and one-half square feet for each
one linear foot of building frontage, not to exceed 100 square feet per tenant;
ii. Freestanding business signs, typically monument style,
as provided for in Section 22.52.890, except that roof business signs shall be
prohibited, the height of such signs shsdl be limited to five feet measured from the
natural grade at street level, and the maximum area of combined faces on such signs
shall be limited to 100 square feet;
iii. Residential ranch entrance signs, provided that only one
span per parcel shall be permitted for such signs, the top of each sign shall not
exceed 20 feet from natural grade, and the surface areas of such signs shall not
exceed 12 square feet; and
iv. Temporary, directional, informational and special purpose
signs, as provided for by Sections 22.52.940, 22.52.950, 22.52.960, 22.52.970, and

7. Fence Design. In addition to standards provided in Section
22.48.160 concerning the height of fences, the following fence design features shall
apply to the construction of perimeter fencing:
a. Only split rail, open wood, wire or wrought iron style or
similar open-type perimeter fences shall be permitted, except on residential lots of
less than 10,000 square feet, or unless view-obscuring fences are required for visual
shielding by other provisions of this title; and
b. Except where otherwise required by ordinance, at least 70
percent of the entire fence area shall be non-view-obscuring; no slats or other
view-obscuring materials may be inserted into or affixed to such fences. Any solid
lineal sections must be primarily for structural purposes or provide minor architec-
tural design features.
8. Exterior Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be designed to minimize
off-site illumination, within the requirements for public safety.
a. Exterior lighting on residential parcels shall be of top-shielded
design to prevent direct off-site illumination; hoods shall be used to direct light
away from adjacent parcels.
b . Exterior lighting on nonresidential parcels shall be prohibited
except where necessary for the safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, as
determined by the county. To minimize oflf-site illumination where lights are
required, cut-off fixtures in keeping with the Western frontier architectural style
will be specified.
9. Street Improvements. Street improvements shall complement the
rural character of the Acton community.
a. In new subdivisions where lots exceed an area of 20,000
square feet, streetlights on local streets will be required only where necessary for
the safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, as determined by the department of
public works.
Snpp. # 28. 2-96 22-232.4f, 12
22.44.126
b. All required local and highway streetlights shall utilize cut-off
"Mission Bell" design fixtures, as specified by the local electric utility.
c. Concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters will generally not be
required on local streets. In all new land divisions, inverted shoulder cross-sections will
be specified for local streets, unless an alternate design is necessary for public safety, as
determined by the department of public works. Curbs and gutters, or fencing with
inverted shoulders, may be required where trail use is within the roadway easement.
10. Trail Easements. In reviewing and establishing design conditions for
any land division, the hearing officer shall consider community trails objectives and
whether or not they may be promoted or benefited by such division. Alternative
proposals for trail easements consistent with community goals shall be developed and
considered in conjunction with each land division.
a. Unobstructed multipurpose pathways for both pedestrian and
equestrian uses should be developed in each new land division to the satisfaction of
both the department of public works and the department of parks and recreation.
Although alignments that are not adjacent to roadways will generally be preferred, road
easements may be used when the hearing officer determines that other locations are
inappropriate.
b. Any trail incorporated into a land division must contain a
provision for participation in a community- wide trail maintenance financing district or
other appropriate financing mechanism; the district or other financing mechanism must
be established prior to the construction of the trail.
c. The department of parks and recreation will work with the
community to establish an appropriate mechanism for financing trail maintenance.
1 1 . Home Occupations. Home occupation uses are to be permitted, subject
to a director's review, to enable a resident to carry on an income-producing activity,
which is incidental and subordinate to the principal use of residential property, when
such activity will not be disruptive to the character of the Acton community.
a. In addition to the principles and standards contained in Section
22.56.1690, the director shall ensure that an application for a home occupation use
complies with the following standards and conditions:
i. That the use occur on a parcel used primarily as the
permanent residence of the person or persons operating the use, and be secondary and
incidental to the principal use of the lot or parcel, and not change the residential
character and appearance of the dwelling unit;
ii. That not more than 2 persons, other than resident
occupants, shall be employed or volunteer their services on site;
iii. That the number of off-street vehicle parking spaces
comply with the provisions of Part 1 1 of Chapter 22.52, as well as provide one
additional on-site vehicle space, either covered or uncovered, for each employee or
volunteer;

vii. That no sale of goods occur at the premises where the
home occupation use is located;
viii. That business traffic occur only between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 6:00 p.m. Home occupation related vehicle trips to the residence shall not exceed
six per day;
ix. That a "Notice of Proposal" indicating the nature of the
home occupation use, to the satisfaction of the director, has been forwarded by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to all owners and residents, of real property within 500 feet
of the lot or parcel on which said use is proposed;
x. That the person proposing to conduct a home occupation
use has signed a covenant and agreement suitable for recordation and running with the
land indicating that he or she has read and understands the mandatory conditions of
operation enumerated above and such other conditions that the director may impose,
and will faithfully abide by each and every one of said conditions and restrictions. Said
covenant shall be recorded as a condition of approval and shall indicate that the failure
of the applicant to conform with and adhere to each and every condition of operation
shall result in the revocation of the director's approval for the home occupation use;
b. In those cases where the director determines that the site plan
submitted by an applicant is not, or cannot be, in fLill compliance with subsection
(C)(l l)(a) of this section, the director shall deny such application and shall inform the
applicant in writing of such action. Said notice of denial shall also inform the applicant
that this title contains provisions permitting the filing of a conditional use permit for a

ACTON COMMUNITY STANDARDS DISTRICT
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE GUIDELINES
I. Background
Acton is a rural community that began to develop in the 1800's as a center
of gold and copper mining activity. By 1872, with the coming of the railroad and
the development of large scale mining operations, Acton was a thriving community.
In 1886 the Southern Pacific depot was established, bearing the name of Acton. For
a short period of time, Acton with all its mines was an important town in the State
of California. Several structures from this era remain. The 1878 school house now
serves as a community church, and the 49er Saloon — remodeled and expanded,
but retaining its "Western" look — remains a community fixture. Bricks from the
1890 Acton Hotel have been incorporated into a community monument.
As the mining activity decreased at the turn of the century, the area changed
to predominantly ranching activities. It is in keeping with this rich frontier mining
town heritage that these Architectural Style Guidelines for commercial areas have
been established.
II. Objectives
Section C.3 of the Community Standards District provides for the application
of Architectural Style Guidelines in Acton, primarily in commercial areas, as
defined by the Land Use Policy Map for the Antelope Valley Area Plan. There are
two distinct commercial areas: 1) "Old Town** south of the Freeway along Crown
Valley Road and 2) the newly developing uses adjacent to the Freeway, particularly
to the north. The objectives of the guidelines include:
— Identification and description of the qualities which give a "Western
frontier village, circa 1890's style" character to much of the existing commer-
cial area — particularly the older development in the vicinity of Crown Valley
Road and Soledad Canyon Road.
— Assistance in guiding and promoting architectural rehabilitation throughout
Acton that is consistent with its Western heritage.
— Development of new commercial structures that promote and enhance the
community's Western Heritage architectural character.
III. Guidelines
The entire Community Standards District is intended to help preserve a
Western desert community character. Vegetation, street improvements, trails,
lighting, fencing, signage, building heights, setbacks and other features of the CSD
all complement the Western appearance. The Architectural Style Guidelines are
intended to put the finishing touches on the exterior appearance of the commercial
community. The following guidelines provisions are to be used in designing all
exterior improvements:
A. Facades
B. Roof forms
C. Sidewalk coverings
D. Signs
E. Colors

APPENDIX FOR SECTION 22.44.126
F. Materials
G. Landscaping
H. Exterior features: lights, railings, street furniture, etc.
A, FACADES
Building exteriors, particularly storefronts, are the most visible elements of a
commercial community. The surfaces, materials and colors that complement the
overall architectural design create a visual statement as well as provide a framework
for signage, landscaping and street furnishings that can complete a desired appear-
ance.
Lineal Design:
"Western** town commercial structures have strong horizontal lines; parapets, signs,
railings, balconies, sidewalk coverings, transom windows and kickplates are typical
lineal features. Projecting or recessed horizontal architectural or decorative features
help create dimension and interest on a plain facade. While diversity — e.g.
Victorian design — among individual stores is encouraged, horizontal lines can help
create a cohesive community and encourage one's eyes to scan the entire area.
Encourage
• A predominating horizontal line along the top of the building facade.
• Alignment of tops of windows and door openings.
• The clear division of two story structures between the first and second
floors.
• Second floor balconies and railings; their strong horizontal structure adds
depth and visual interest
• Horizontal lines that carry from one store or structure to the next.
Discourage
• Horizontal elements that do not involve structural features; a painted
horizontal stripe, for example, should not be used where wood trim would
create dimension and texture.
Entries:
Stores along a "Western** street typically have recessed entries. This feature draws
a shopper toward the sheltered door area, which is generally flanked with display
windows. This architectural characteristic is in contrast to modem commercial
designs which generally align all storefronts and entrances along a straight walkway.
Encourage
• Recessed storefront entries. Side and rear entries may be in line with exterior
walls.
• Wood-appearing frame doors with glass panes — particularly in the upper
half of the door — and suitable hardware (typically brass hinges and handles
Supp. # 28, 2-96 22-232.4f. 18
APPENDIX FOR SECTION 22.44.126
or push plates). Wood-frame screen doors can be used.
• Double entry doors, while not necessary, are particularly inviting.
Discourage
• Use of bright aluminum, tinted glass and other modem doorway materials.
• Frameless glass doors.
• Security doors and grates.
Windows:
Windows link the outside pedestrian with the inside business. They provide a
showcase for the merchant and can do much to invite sidewalk shoppers to enter
an establishment. Western Village-type windows would authentically be multi-pane,
with wood frames. While this look is preferred, larger single-psme showcase
windows may provide a better display format; as long as the window frame has an
appearance Uiat blends with the overall facade, window pane size will not be a
judged factor.
Encoarage
• Window designs that harmonize with those in adjacent structures.
• Kickplates that line the lower part of the storefront below the glass. Transom
windows are a typical feature over the display windows.
• Use of clear glass or lightly tinted glass only; glass may contain suitable
decorative etching.
• Use of shutters, louvers or interior blinds where privacy or restricted views
are needed.
Discourage
• Design or alteration of window openings that are inconsistent with the
architectural character of the building.
• Use of darkly tinted or reflective glass.
• Full length plate glass windows.
• Finished appearance that does not reflect intended architectural design.
Aluminum used for window and door frames, for example, is a modem-
appearing material that is inappropriate.
Side and Rear Facade Features:
Structures in the commercial areas of Acton are often visible on all sides. Some
establishments may permit access from other than the front entry. It is important
that these facades be attractively maintained in character with the Westem architec-
ture theme. Utilities, trash bins and other such features of rear and side areas should
be covered or disguised in the same architectural theme wherever possible.

APPENDIX FOR SECTION 22.44.126
B. ROOF FORMS
Unlike residences of the by-gone Western era with their pitched roofs, commercial
buildings are known for their predominantly flat-roofed appearance. Where pitched
roofs exist, they are generally hidden from street view by either a parapet — an
upward extension of part of the front wall — or a false front (with the exception
of Victorian-style structures). While top roof lines can carry a horizontal theme
around the commercial area, individuality should be encouraged; multi-height
parapets and false fronts add variety. Special roof lines, raised heights or other
distinctive treatments are appropriate over major building entry points or corner
structures.
Encourage
• Predominantly flat roofs.
• Sloping roofs hidden from front view by parapets or false fronts with
horizontal lines.
• "Accent" roof lines or other architectural features — higher than the sur-
rounding roof lines — at comers and major entrances.
• Screening of roof mounted equipment (see Acton Community Standards
District, Section C.3).
Discourage
• Sloped or pitched roofs — particularly those visible from street view, unless
of Victorian design.
• Decorative roof elements that do not focus on corner or entry areas.
C. SIDEWALK COVERINGS
Motion picture-created images of Western towns often portray hot, dusty main
streets; a respite from the sun was found in the shade provided by coverings along
the boardwalks. In Acton today, paved streets minimize the dust, and air condition-
ing provides ideal climate control. Sidewalk coverings, however, are still functional:
in addition to reinforcing the Western architectural style, they provide an invitation
to window shoppers, protect window displays and shield windows from the heat of
the day, thereby conserving energy.
Sidewalk coverings are typically constructed of rough wood, supported by wooden
posts. They may serve as second story balconies. Awnings can also be used, but
should be of plain canvas-type material; rounded or scalloped edges, stripes or
patterns are not appropriate. Where posts are used, wooden railings would complete
the 1x>ardwalk area.
D. SIGNS
Signage controls can "make or break" the visual image of a commercial community.
This feature of the Acton community is so important that Section C.6 of the Acton
Community Standards District contains specific regulations designed to prevent the
use of modem signs.
supp. # 28. 2-96 22-232.4f.20
APPENDIX FOR SECTION 22.44.126
The primary function of signs in Acton is to effectively identify business locations.
Signs should not be used for advertising, unless based on verifiable authentic
Western designs. Even then they must eidier conform to Section C,6 or undergo
appropriate variance approvals. The following signage features supplement the
requirements of Section C.6:
Encourage
• Flush-mounted signs, often within a recessed area on a parapet.
• Hanging signboards, either parallel or perpendicular to the building facade.
• Signs related in size, character and placement to other building elements.
• Graphics and lettering styles that are appropriate to the western motif. Signs
for most franchises and chain stores will require redesign.
• Icon signs that illustrate the type of merchandise or service.
Discourage
• Signs that obscure all or part of a significant architectural feature.
• Garish colors that may attract attention, but which detract from a harmonious
community appearance.
E. COLORS
If there is a single "Western town" color, it would be earthtone. This color — or
range of colors from beige to gray — is natural appearing in many of the materials
used in constructing the old West. Brick, made from adobe clay, was often used
in early Acton and is also an appropriate color. Brighter primary paint colors were
available and were often used for signs and on metal surfaces to prevent rust.
"Pastels" and "neons** are inappropriate colors in the Western palette.
Encourage
• Natural wood-look and brick tones as the predominant materials/colors of
the commercial area. (Simulated woodappearing products may be used in place
of real wood.)
• Colors that are coordinated with neighboring building colors and materials.
• Subtle colors on plain surfaces of large structures.
Discourage
• Changing colors along the main surface of a single building facade. A single
color — generally natural wood — creates unity; individual stores can be
differentiated by accent colors, parapets, signage and other distinguishing
features.
F. MATERIALS
Finished appearance is more important than the use of "genuine, authentic** materi-
22-232.4f.21 Supp. # 28. 2-96
APPENDIX FOR SECHON 22.44.126
als. Available materials of the day (late 1800's) consisted primarily of wood, adobe,
brick and stone. Modem materials are available that simulate these textures, and
are generally acceptable in new or rehabilitation construction. Even concrete blocks
can be used if faced with adobe-resembling stucco, for example, or covered entirely
with vegetation. "Assembly** of these materials should reflect the building tech-
niques and tools employed in the early West.
The chosen materials should be consistent with the structure; sidewalks, for
example, would originally have been either boardwalk or stonewalk. Today, those
materials would be welcome, although modem materials such as concrete may be
used to replicate such appearances through special colorings and installation
techniques.
Encourage
• Use of materials available in the old West, such as pine lumber, river rock
and adobe.
• The adaptation of modem materials such as plastic, concrete and aluminum
to resemble old West materials.
Discourage
• Modern materials that retain a contemporary appearance; painted metal
"pipe** railings should be avoided in favor of wooden hand rails, for example.
G. LANDSCAPING
Vegetation can provide an attractive, inviting and unifying element to a commercial
district. Trees provide welcome shade in a desert community such as Acton. Trees
and shrubbery can cover vacant areas or unattractive features such as utility
installations and rubbish disposal areas, and can soften the hard appearance of
parking lots. Planter boxes along storefronts can be a very decorative feature.
Section C.2 of the Acton Community Standards District emphasizes the preservation
and use of high desert native vegetation. A commercial landscape palette must
conform to these requirements, which will ensure compatibility of the vegetation
with the architectural theme.
H. EXTERIOR FEATURES
"Finishing touches'* to the Western village architectural theme must consider all the
exterior features, both functional and decorative. Lights and lamp posts, railings,
trash receptacles, benches and hitching posts would all be common to Acton
commercial areas and in plain view. Sections C.S and C.9 of the Acton Community
Standards District establish general requirements for exterior lighting. Modem
lighting techniques which do not interfere with the Westem motif may be used; a
good example is fluorescent lighting for walkways whose fixtures are tucked under
sidewalk coverings and not readily visible.
Utilities should be hidden from view wherever possible. Air conditioning units, for
example, should ideally be roof-mounted. Room air conditioning units should never
be installed in the front facade; the rear wall is generally preferable, with side walls
acceptable.
supp. # 28. 2-96 22-232.4f.22
APPENDIX FOR SECTION 22.44.126
Encourage
• Western style accessories such as sidewalk railings and hitching posts (which
should be located to protect horses from motor vehicles). Cast iron- type
benches and wood or woodenlooking trash "barrels" are appropriate and
functional. Wagon wheels are a popular decorative item.
• Gas or gas-look lamps, where high visibility for safety is not a factor.
• The use of wood, wrought iron, ceramic or other materials from the old West
era.
Discourage
• Modern decorative materials such as neon and plastics.

i. All property owners within 200 feet of the subject property
shall be notified in writing of the requested minor variation not less than 20 days prior
to the date the director takes action on the request.
d. A minor variation shall not deviate more than 25 percent from
the applicable development standards identified in subsection D.6.a.
7. Variance required. Modification of the standards set forth in
subsections D.2.b, D.2.C, and D.2.e through D,2.j shall require a variance pursuant to
Part 2 of Chapter 22.56.
8. Recreational Vehicle Parking — Residential and Agricultural Zones,
a. Definition. As used in this subsection D8, "recreational vehicle"
means a camper, camp trailer, travel trailer, house car, motor home, trailer bus, trailer
coach, or similar vehicle, with or without motive power, designed for human
habitation for recreational or emergency occupancy. A recreational vehicle includes a
boat, other watercraft, snowmobile, off-road vehicle that cannot legally be driven on
public streets, and other similar types of vehicles. A trailer, whether open or
enclosed, used to carry or tow property such as animals, boats or other watercraft,
snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, racecars, or other similar vehicles is also a
recreational vehicle. Where a recreational vehicle is on or attached to such a trailer,
they shall together be considered one recreational vehicle. A recreational vehicle
shall not include a pickup truck used for transportation to which a camper shell has
been attached.
b. A recreational vehicle may be kept, stored, parked,
maintained, or otherwise permitted on a lot or parcel of land in Zones A-1, A-2, R-1,
R-2, R-3, R-4, R-A, and RPD subject to the following restrictions:
i. A recreational vehicle shall not be kept, stored, parked,
maintained, or otherwise permitted within five feet of the front lot line or comer side
lot line;
ii. No portion of a recreational vehicle exceeding 36 inches
in height shall be kept, stored, parked, maintained, or otherwise permitted within 10
feet of the front lot line or comer side lot line;
iii. No more than one recreational vehicle may be kept,
stored, parked, maintained, or otherwise permitted in the front yard, comer side yard,
or any additional area situated between the comer side yard and the rear lot line;
22-232.4f.66c Supp # 62, 1 1-04
22.44.132
iv. No recreational vehicle shall be kept, stored, parked,
maintained, or otherwise permitted in a manner that prevents access to any required
covered parking on the same lot or parcel of land;
V. A recreational vehicle may be kept, stored, parked,
maintained, or otherwise permitted only on premises owned or occupied by the owner
of the vehicle;
vi. No disabled or otherwise nonfunctional recreational
vehicle shall be kept, stored, parked, maintained, or otherwise permitted in the front
yard or comer side yard;
vii. A recreational vehicle shall be kept, stored, parked,
maintained, or otherwise permitted so as to maintain unobstructed line-of-sight for
pedestrians and motorists using the public right-of-way; and
viii. A recreational vehicle shall be kept, stored, parked,
maintained, or otherwise permitted so as not to constitute a health or safety hazard.
c. A yard modification may be filed with the director pursuant to
Section 22.48.180 to authorize the parking or storing of a recreational vehicle within
10 feet of the front lot line or comer side lot line; provided, however, that under no
circumstances shall a recreational vehicle be parked closer than five feet from the
front or corner side lot lines. An application for a yard modification under this
subsection shall be supported by evidence substantiating that the requested
modification is necessary due to topographic features or other conditions in that
compliance with the 10-foot setback line would create an unnecessary hardship or
unreasonable regulation or where it is obviously impractical to require compliance
with the setback line. The director may approve a yard modification if the director
finds that parking or storing a recreational vehicle at the proposed location will not
compromise pedestrian or motorist line-of-sight or other applicable safety standards
as determined by the director, and that the applicant has substantiated to the
satisfaction of the director that, due to topographic features or other conditions,
compliance with the 10-foot setback line would create an unnecessary hardship or
unreasonable regulation or where it is obviously impractical to require compliance
with the setback line.
E. Area-specific Development Standards (Reserved).
F. Public Information. A monthly report or reports shall be generated by
the department listing all permit and plot plan applicafions received by the department
for the Rowland Heights area. The report(s) shall list the type of application received,
a brief description of the project, the name of the property owner and/or applicant,
and the address of the proposed project. The report(s) shall be distributed on a
periodic basis in a manner and frequency determined by the director to all community
groups that request a copy, and to such other groups or persons who, in the director's
judgment, would be appropriate to receive the report(s). Before determining how
often to distribute the report(s) to a particular group or person, the director shall
consult with and take into account the preference of that group or person on this
matter.
G. Nonconforming Structures. Stmctures nonconforming due to the
standards contained in this Community Standards District may be continuously

22.44.133 Santa Monica Mountains North Area Community Standards
District. A. Intent and Purpose. The Santa Monica Mountains North Area
Community Standards District is established to implement the goals and policies of
the Santa Monica Mountains North Area Plan in a manner that protects the health,
safety, and welfare of the community, especially the surrounding natural
environment.
B. District Boundary. The boundaries of the district are as shown on the map
following this section.
C. Definitions.
— "Bed and breakfast establishment" means a single-family residence
containing guest rooms used for short-term rental accommodations, which provides
breakfast for guests of the facility.
— "Gross structural area" (GSA) means the allowable floor area of the
permitted development in square feet. The GSA includes the total floor area of all
enclosed residential and storage areas, but does not include vent shafts, or the first
400 square feet of floor area in garages or carports designed for the storage of
automobiles.
D. Community-wide Development Standards.
1. Coastal Zone Boundary. When parcels are divided by the coastal
zone boundary, the use of that portion of a parcel within the coastal zone shall be
consistent with the Malibu Land Use Plan, and the use of that portion outside the
coastal zone shall be consistent with the Santa Monica Mountains North Area Plan.
2. Exterior Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be low intensity, directional
and/or screened to prevent glare or direct off-site illumination. Street lighting shall be
permitted only where required by the department of public works or Caltrans for
public safety.
3. Signs. Outdoor advertising signs shall be prohibited.
4. Grading.
a. No grading permit shall be issued for development associated
with a land division prior to the recordation of the final map, except as specifically
authorized by the conditions of an approved tentative map.
b. A conditional use permit as provided in Part 1 of Chapter
22.56 shall be required for any grading on a lot or parcel of land, or in connection
with any project, that exceeds 5,000 cubic yards of total cut plus total fill material.
For purposes of computing the 5,000 cubic yard threshold amount, grading necessary
to establish a turnaround required by the county fire department, but not the grading
for any access road or driveway leading to such turnaround, shall be excluded. In
addition to the requirements of Subsection A of Section 22.56.090, findings shall be
made that the grading will be performed in a manner that minimizes disturbance to
the natural landscape and terrain through design features for the project, such as, but
not limited to, locating the building pad in the area of the project site with the least
slope, clustering structures, and locating the project close to a paved street. Findings
shall also be made that the grading will be accompanied by other project features that
maximize preservation of visual quality and community character through design
features such as, but not limited to, reduced structural height, use of architectural
features such as shape, materials, and color to promote blending with the surrounding
environment, and use of locally indigenous vegetation for concealment of the project.
A list of locally indigenous vegetation appropriate for this Community Standards
District shall be maintained by the director.
Supp#63,2-05 22-232.4f.68
22.44.133
c. An approved haul route shall be required for the offsite
transport of 1,000 cubic yards or more of cut or fill material, or any combination
thereof.
d. Grading shall not begin during the rainy season, defined as
October 15 of any year through April 15 of the subsequent year.
5. Significant Ridgeline Protection.
a. Ridgelines are defined as the line formed by the meeting of
the tops of sloping surfaces of land. Significant ridgelines are ridgelines which, in
general, are highly visible and dominate the landscape. The location of the significant
ridgelines within this Community Standards District, and the criteria used for their
designation, are set forth on the official Santa Monica Mountains North Area Plan
Significant Ridgeline Map, prepared and maintained in the offices of the county
department of regional planning, which is adopted by reference as part of this
ordinance, and on the map and corresponding appendix following this Section.
b. The highest point of a structure that requires any permit shall
be located at least 50 vertical feet and 50 horizontal feet from a significant ridgeline,
excluding chimneys, rooftop antennas, wind energy conversion systems, and amateur
radio antennas.
c. Where structures on a lot or parcel of land cannot meet the
standards prescribed by subsection D.5.b, above, a variance as provided in Part 2 of
Chapter 22.56 shall be required. In addition to the required findings set forth in
Subsection A of Section 22.56.330, findings shall be made that: (1) alternative sites
within the property or project have been considered and eliminated from
consideration based on physical infeasibility or the potential for substantial habitat
damage or destruction if any such alternative site is used; and (2) the proposed
project maintains the maximum view of the applicable significant ridgeline through
the use of design features for the project such as, but not limited to, minimized
grading, reduced structural height, clustered structures, shape, materials, and color
that allow the structures to blend with the natural setting, and use of locally
indigenous vegetation for concealment of the project, as described on the list
referenced in subsecfion D.4.b.
6. Schools. A conditional use permit shall be required for all schools
otherwise permitted in the basic zone, through grade 12, accredited, including
appurtenant facilities, which offer instruction required to be taught in the public
schools by the Education Code of the State of California, in which no pupil is
physically restrained, but excluding trade or commercial schools.
7. Local-serving commercial uses,
a. Applicability.
i. Local-serving commercial uses and associated buildings
and structures that were lawfully established and in compliance with all applicable
ordinances and laws prior to September 19, 2002, and which became non-
conforming as a result of the adoption of Ordinance No. 2002-0062Z, are not subject
to the provisions of Part 10 of Chapter 22.56. Such uses, buildings, and structures
may continue indefinitely as long as the use does not change or as long as the use
meets the criteria contained in subsection D.T.a.ii, below.
22-232.4f.68a Supp. #74, ii-o?
22.44.133
ii. A different local-serving commercial use may be
allowed if the director finds that the use has the same or a lesser parking requirement,
occupant load, and occupancy classification, as described in Title 26 (Building
Code), as the existing commercial use, and if no zoning permit would have been
required for said different use pursuant to the provisions of Title 22 in effect
immediately prior to September 19, 2002.
iii. If a non-conforming local-serving commercial use
described in subsection D.T.a.i, above, is discontinued for a consecutive period of
two years or longer, the right to operate such non-conforming use shall immediately
terminate and any subsequent use of the parcel shall be subject to the other
provisions of this Community Standards District, the other applicable provisions of
this Title 22, and the Santa Monica Mountains North Area Plan.
b. Changes requiring conditional use permit. A conditional use
permit shall be required for uses, buildings, and structures otherwise described in
subsection D.V.a.i, above, for:
i. Any extension, expansion, or enlargement of the area of
land, or the area within a building or structure requiring a building permit in or on
which the use is conducted;
ii. Any alteration, enlargement of, or addition to a building
or structure requiring a building permit in which the use is conducted; or
iii. Any addition of land, buildings, or structures used in

c. Development Standards. The exemption provided in subsection
C.3 of Section 22.56.215 shall not apply to the construction of a single-family
residence on any lot or parcel of land within the antiquated subdivision area that has a
gross area of less than one-half acre and contains any area with a natural slope of 25
percent or greater, and a conditional use permit is required for such use.
2. Topanga Canyon Area.
a. Intent and Purpose. The Topanga Canyon area is established
to implement certain policies related to small lot subdivision development contained
in the Santa Monica Mountains North Area Plan. The area-specific development
22-232.4f.71 supp. #57, 8-03
22.44.133
standards are intended to mitigate the impacts of development on small lots in hillside
and other areas that lack adequate infrastructure or are subject to the potential hazards
of fire, flood, or geologic instability, and to preserve important ecological resources
and scenic features found in this area.
b. Area Boundary. The boundaries of the area are as shown on
the map following this section.
c. Definition. For the purposes of subsection F2, "small lot
subdivision" includes all land within TR. 3944, TR. 8545, TR. 8674, TR. 9287, and
TR. 9346. "Small lot subdivision" also includes those portions of TR. 6131, TR.
9385, and all Records of Survey and Licensed Surveyor's Maps in Section 5,
Township 1 South, Range 16 West, San Bernardino Base and Meridian, located north
of the coastal zone boundary. Lots created by a parcel map are exempt from these
provisions.
d. Development Standards. The construction of residential units
on a lot or parcel of land of less than one acre within a small lot subdivision shall be
subject to the following development standards:
i. For the construction of residential units on a lot or parcel
of land of 5,000 square feet or more, the maximum gross structural area shall be equal
to 20 percent of the area of the lot or parcel. Construction of residential units on a lot
or parcel of land of less than 5,000 square feet shall be subject to the following slope
intensity formula:
(A) The maximum allowable gross structural area of a
residential unit to be constructed on a building site shall be determined by the
following formula:
GSA - (A/5) X r(50-SV351 + 500
Where: A = the area of the building site in square feet. The building site is
defined by the applicant and may consist of all or a designated portion of the one or
more lots comprising the project location. All permitted structures must be located
within the designated building site.
S = the average slope of the building site in percent as calculated by the
formula:
S = lxL/AxlOO
Where: S = average natural slope in percent.
1 = contour interval in feet, at not greater than 25-foot intervals, resulting
in at least five contour lines.
L = total accumulated length of all contour lines of interval "I" in feet.
A = the area of the building site in square feet.
(B) All slope calculations shall be based on natural, not
graded conditions. Maps of a scale generally not less than one inch equals 1 feet
(I'-IO'), showing the building site and existing slopes, prepared by a licensed
surveyor or registered professional civil engineer, shall be submitted with the
application. If slope is greater than 50 percent, enter 50 for S in the GSA formula.
(C) The maximum allowable GSA as calculated above
may be increased as follows:
(1) Add 500 square feet or 12.5 percent of the
total lot area, whichever is less, for each lot which is contiguous to the designated
supp. #57, 8-03 22-232.4f 72
22.44.133
building site, provided that such lot(s) is (are) combined with the building site, and all
potential for residential development on such lot(s) is permanently extinguished.
(2) Add 300 square feet or 7.5 percent of the
total lot area, whichever is less, for each lot in the vicinity of (e.g., in the same small
lot subdivision) but not contiguous with the designated building site, provided that
such lot(s) is (are) combined with other developed or developable building sites and
all potential for residential development on such lot(s) is permanently extinguished.
(D) The floor area requirement for single-family
residences contained in Section 22.20.105 shall not apply.
(E) All residences approved in small lot subdivisions
by the slope intensity formula shall be subject to an improvement condition requiring
that any future additions or improvements to the property shall be subject to an
additional review by the director.
ii. The provisions of Sections 22.48.060, 22.48.080, and
22.48.140 shall not apply.
iii. Procedural Requirements.
(A) Any building or grading permit shall be subject to
the director's review procedure contained in Part 12 of Chapter 22.56, except that the
director shall not consider requests for modification.
(B) Any modifications of development standards shall
be considered only through the variance procedures contained in Part 2 of Chapter
22.56.
3. Malibou Lake Area.
a. Intent and Purpose. The Malibou Lake area establishes
development standards to help mitigate the impacts of cumulative residential
development on existing historical lots with limited street access in a high fire hazard
area.
b. Area Boundary. The boundaries of the area are as shown on
the map following this section.
c. Development Standards. If site plans therefor are first
submitted to and approved by the director, property may be used for single-family
residences and accessory uses, subject to the following development standards:
i. Off-street Parking. Each single-family residence shall
have automobile parking spaces, conveniently accessible to the street and to the
residence served, as follows:
(A) At least two covered, standard-size automobile
parking spaces; and
(B) At least two uncovered, standard-size automobile
parking spaces. These spaces may be located in required front, side, and rear yards
only if they constitute a driveway to the covered parking.
ii. Street Access.
(A) A minimum 20 feet of paved roadway width to
Crags Drive shall be provided to the property and constructed to the satisfaction of the

APPENDIX FOR SECTION 22.44.133
SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS NORTH AREA COMMUNITY
STANDARDS DISTRICT
CRITERIA FOR SIGNIFICANT RIDGELINES
The designation of the significant ridgelines within the Santa Monica
Mountains North Area Community Standards District is based on the following
criteria:
* Topographic complexity: Ridges that have a significant difference in
elevation from the valley or canyon floor. Generally, these ridges are observable
from any location on the valley floor, from a community, or from a public road.
Geologic conditions in the Santa Monica Mountains North Area make this a common
condition.
* Near/far contrast: Ridges that are a part of a scene that includes a
prominent landform in the foreground and a major backdrop ridge with an unbroken
22-232.4f.77 Supp. # 74, i i-o?
22.44.133
skyline. This includes a view into a valley from a public road or viewpoint located at
a higher altitude, such as along the valley rim or a pass. Often, layers of ridges are
visible into the distance, such as when looking west from Topanga Canyon
Boulevard over Henry Ridge to Saddle Peak, and from MulhoUand Highway looking
east toward Cornell and Malibu Lake. This contrast can be experienced viewing an
entire panorama or a portion of a panorama from an elevated point.
* Cultural landmarks: Ridges that frame views of well-known locations,
structures, or other places, which are considered points of interest in the Santa
Monica Mountains North Area. These landmarks include Paramount Ranch, Peter
Strauss Ranch, and Malibu Lake.
* Uniqueness and character of a specific location: Peaks and their
buttressing ridges. This is represented by ridges that frame rocky outcroppings, other
unique geological features, and areas of extraordinary natural beauty, such as
Ladyface Mountain and Saddle Rock. Ridges that frame Malibu Canyon-Las
Virgenes Road — a state-designated county scenic highway — MulhoUand Highway,
Kanan Road, Topanga Canyon Boulevard, and other scenic routes are also included.
* Existing community boundaries and gateways: Ridges and surrounding
terrain that provide the first view of predominantly natural, undeveloped land as a
traveler emerges from the urban landscape. These lands introduce visitors to the
visual experiences they will encounter in the Santa Monica Mountains North Area.
Community boundaries and gateways include the surrounding ridges that provide a
skyline and boundary to the rural communities found in the North Area. Examples
include the ridges viewed from the Ventura Freeway traveling west from Calabasas,
and the ridges along Triunfo and Lobo Canyons.

supplemental district in order to recognize particular areas where the keeping or
maintaining of horses and other large domestic animals for the personal use of
members of the family residing on the premises has become or is intended to become
an integral part of the character of the area. The application of this district permits the
keeping of horses and other large domestic animals for personal use as accessory to
residential use subject to standards and conditions which are intended to insure
compatibility with surrounding areas and within the district itself while also taking
the individual characteristics of the particular area under consideration. (Ord. 90-
0102 § 5 (part), 1990; Ord. 1494 Ch. 9 Art. 2 § 902.1, 1927.)

than five acres, provided that such expansion will constitute an orderly contiguous
extension of such district, complying with all other requirements for establishment of
such district.
B. Buffer Area.
1. Animals regulated by the proposed district shall be separated by a
buffer area from any lot or parcel of land which is used for residential purposes or
located in a residential zone or Zone A-1 having the potential for residential
development and not within the equestrian district. Such buffer area shall consist of:
a. A designated setback of not less than 25 feet, located
contiguous to and within the boundaries of the proposed district. Such setback shall
provide a permanently established buffer within which animals regulated by such
district will not be kept or maintained; or
b. A physical separation in lieu of such setback located
contiguous to and either outside or inside of the boundary of the proposed district,
which provides an equivalent setback or satisfactorily eliminates the need for such
setback, within the intent of this section. Such physical separation may consist of but
is not limited to a public street, highway, riding trail or other public or private
easement, or an appropriate topographical separation.
2. Where animals to be regulated within the proposed district are
permitted in the same or greater numbers on property contiguous to its boundary, the
commission may recommend, and the board of supervisors may waive, such setback
along the common boundary in adopting the district. (Ord. 90-0102 § 5 (part), 1990;

equestrian district shall supersede the regulations provided in Part 3 of Chapter 22.56
relative to the keeping and maintaining of horses and other equine, cattle, sheep and
goats as pets or for the personal use of family residing on the premises. (Ord. 90-
0102 § 5 (part), 1990; Ord. 1494 Ch. 9 Art. 2 § 902.4, 1927.)
22.44.170 Notification to and reports from county departments. In
reviewing an application for an equestrian district, the commission shall notify and
request reports from the department of health services and the department of animal
control relative to the ability of the applicant(s) to maintain such animals properly as

general welfare; and
2. That the proposed sites are adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the animals requested without material detriment to the use, enjoyment
or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the equestrian
district.
B. The commission shall deny the application where the information
submitted by the applicant(s) and/or presented at public hearing fails to substantiate
such findings to the satisfaction of the commission. (Ord. 90-0102 § 5 (part), 1990;
Ord. 1494 Ch. 9 Art. 2 § 902.6, 1927.)
22.44.180 Establishment — Operation and maintenance conditions
imposed when. The commission may recommend and the board of supervisors, in
establishing an equestrian district, may impose conditions it deems necessary to
insure that animals permitted in said district will be kept or maintained in accord with
the findings required by Section 22.44.170. Conditions imposed may involve any
pertinent factors affecting the establishment, operation and maintenance of the

22.46.050 Purpose. This specific plan constitutes the primary implementa-
tion-mechanism for the Santa Catalina Island land use plan (LUP) as certified by
the California Coastal Commission in November, 1983. As such, it establishes
regulations for the development, protection and management of the island's
unique resources. The LUP constitutes the first part of the county's state-mandated
local coastal program or LCP: the LIP is the second part of the LCP. (Ord. 89-0148 §
I (part), 1989.)
22.46.060 Relationship to the Los Angeies County general plan. A. The Los
Angeles County general plan consists of those countywide chapters and elements
Supp. # 8. 1-91 22-234.2
22.46.060
mandated by the California Government Code, as well as a series of community
and area plans setting forth more detailed growth and development policies for
specific unincorporated commuiiities.
22-234.2a Supp. *8. i.9i
•
22.46.060
B. The countywide general plan establishes, in a broad perspective, future
land use, development and conservation policies for Santa Catalina Island.
C. The Santa Catalina Island LUP serves as the community plan for the
unincorporated portions of the island. The LUP essentially constitutes a refine-
ment of general plan policy and provides a basis for its ultimate implementation
through application of this specific plan. The LUP contains background informa-
tion on Catalina Island conditions and resources; the implementation of its policies
will be assured in the coastal development permit process which requires a finding
that any proposed development is consistent with the local coastal program. (Ord.
89-0148 § I (part), 1989.)
22.46.070 Relationship to zoning. A. The regulations and provisions of the
specific plan work in conjunction with the Los Angeles County zoning ordinance.
The specific plan provides land use regulations and standards that supersede those
contained in the basic or underlying zone. Any provisions of the zoning ordinance
that are used to administer or implement the specific plan, and are referenced in it,
are included in Appendix E. Thus, the specific plan is a self-contained document
that includes all of the provisions necessary to administer it
B. Amendments to the county code that affect sections cited in this specific
plan shall not apply to this specific plan until certified as amendments to the LCP.
Until such changes are certified, only the versions of the county code in Appendix E
of this specific plan shall apply. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.080 Organization and content of specific plan. The specific plan is
organized into three main sections including: 1) land use regulations and develop-
ment standards; 2) access and circulation; and 3) utilities/public facilities require-
ments. These sections are summarized below.
A. Land Use Regulations and Development Standards. This section sets
forth the principal permitted uses and uses requiring other permits for five specific
plan land use districts. These five districts are: open space/conservation. Two
Harbors Resort Village, utilities and industrial, Avalon Canyon resort and recrea-
tion, and organized camps and special facilities. This section also contains develop-
ment standards and conditions for each district. In addition, this section contains
standards which regulate architectural motifs, landscape materials and visual
aesthetics.
B. Access and Circulation. Vehicular and nonvehicular circulation on the
island is addressed in this section, as well as access to and use of the island's
shorehne.
C. Utilities/Public Facilities. This section identifies infrastructure plan-
ning and improvements necessary to support future development on the island.
(Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.090 Organization. A. The specific plan works in conj unction with the
zoning ordinance. Title 22 of the Los Angeles County Code, to define and control
potential growth and development on the island. This is accomplished by the
specific plan's land use districts which identify the principal permitted uses, uses
requiring other review or permits (e.g., conditional use, surface mining, etc.) and
development standards; these districts supersede the basic or underlying zones for
their respective areas. The specific plan is also an integral part of the zoning
22-234.3 Supp. 4 6, 3-90
22.46.090
ordinance and references many of the existing definitions, provisions and pro-
cedures contained in the zoning ordinance. Thus, the specific plan and various
provisions of the zoning ordinance work together to provide the necessary detailed
land use regulations and the appropriate administrative procedures to implement
the goals and policies of the Santa Catalina Island local coastal plan.
B. Each land use district contains provisions which are applicable both
district-wide and within specified geographic areas and is organized in the follow-
ing fashion:
1. Legal Description. This is a precise description of the boundaries
of the district. (See Appendix D for maps of all geographic areas mentioned in the
specific plan.)
2. Intent. This is a statement of the purpose of the district with regard
to the development and resource protection policies that are to be carried out in the
particular district.
3. Principal Permitted Uses. This is a listing of the uses which clearly
implement the designated land uses and policies of the district. These uses require
the approval of a coastal development permit unless they are specifically exempted
or categorically excluded. Uses are grouped in two categories: those which are
allowed throughout the district and those which are restricted to specific geographic
areas. These uses are generally not appealable to the coastal commission unless they
are located in one of the areas listed in Section 22.56.2450 where the coastal
commission retains appeal jurisdiction. However, because unincorporated Santa
Catalina Island does not have a public road within the meaning of the Coastal Act
statute defining appeal jurisdiction, the entire island is an appealable area. Coastal
development permits for uses which are appealable to the coastal commission shall
have a public hearing in accordance with Section 22.56.2380.
4. Accessory Uses. This is a listing of uses, including buildings and
structures, which are customarily incidental to, related to and clearly subordinate
to the main building, structure or use of land. Accessory uses are subject to the same
permit requirements, including the filing of a coastal development permit, as the
main uses or buildings to which they are subordinate. Accessory uses are subject to
the same coastal commission appeal provisions as the main uses or buildings.
Coastal development permits for uses which are appealable to the coastal commis-
sion shall have a public hearing in accordance with Section 22.56.2380.
5. Uses Subject to Director's Review. This is a listing of uses that may

22.46.220
(b) In addition to the requirements of Sections 22.16.320 and
22.16.330, the development agreement shall contain a map, drawn to a scale of 1"
= 200* or larger showing:
(i) The location and width of all accessways, beaches, rec-
reation areas and open spaces which are currently available to the public; and
(ii) The location, floor area, height, use, and, where
applicable, the occupant load of all existing and proposed structures.
(c) The development agreement shall also contain a guarantee
that the public will have the right to enter on and use the land identified in the map
required by Subsection (i) above for recreational and open space uses. The owner,
lease-holder or facility operator shall have the right to charge and impose reason-
able fees for such entry and use and to impose reasonable conditions, limitations
and restrictions that are necessary for the management and protection of the land;
however, such actions shall not unduly or unreasonably impair the public entry and
use of the land.
2. Design Review. Architectural renderings and plans shall be sub-
mitted for review and approval by the county. Such materials shall include perspec-
tive drawings which show the visual impact on the area in general, with particular
emphasis on the view corridor. In the design review process, the county shall ensure
that the architectural style is compatible in scale and design with the natural
features and existing approved development. The design review process shall also
ensure that the project complies with relevant development standards contained in
Section 22.46.230.
3. Tentative Division of Land Map. A tentative map shall be filed
when required by Title 21 of this code. When a tentative map is not required, a plot
plan shall be filed indicating the precise location, width and type of improvements
for streets and pedestrian walks, and shall also indicate the use, location, size and
height of all structures. The tentative map or plot plan shall also show the precise
location of the boundary lines of all land use categories listed in subsection (B)
which are contained in the proposed development; the area of each category shall
also be calculated and shown on the plan.
4. Conditions Precedent to Development. In order to adequately
assess and mitigate the impacts associated with proposed development at Two
Harbors, the materials and information contained in this subsection (A)(4) shall be
submitted to and approved by the county as part of the coastal development permit
process prior to issuing permits for new construction. However, interim develop-
ment which does not exceed the following amounts is e.xempt from this require-
ment, except that any interim development within the watershed of Catalina
Harbor shall comply with subsection (b) below. Interim development shall be
approved only if the director finds that the development will not reduce access to
the beach and shoreline that is presently available to the general public and it shall
not prejudice the county's ability to develop the access and open space areas of the
plan, develop a circulation plan, preserve Catalina Harbor, reduce incompatible
development or otherwise carry out the LUP in Two Harbors.
— 20 resort dwelling units, 40 support (employee) dwelling units or
any combination of the two not exceeding 40 units.
— 2,000 square feet of commercial floor area.
— 30 hostel beds, 50 PAOT campground and 80 lodge/inn rooms.

— Removal of existing nonconforming structures and relocation/
reconstruction of such structures in authorized land use categories.
The floor area of the relocated or reconstructed structures may be
25 percent greater than the floor area of the existing nonconform-
ing structure.
The reports and studies required by this subsection should be scaled to the amount
and intensity of development proposed; additional supplemental reports shall be
required as applications for subsequent development are submitted. Required
actions or mitigation measures suggested by these studies and approved by the
county shall be made conditions of approval of the coastal development permit.
Except that the Catalina Harbor study shall be required only when development is
proposed in any areas which drain into said harbor,
(a) Bicycle and Pedestrian Circulation. A bicycle and pedestrian
circulation plan shall be prepared which shows the location and design of bikeways
and pedestrian walkways providing access to the Two Harbors area. This plan shall
comply with applicable access and circulation provisions of Sections 22.46.580
througii 22.46.700 of this specific plan.
(b) Catalina Harbor. A formal study of the marine resources in
Catalina Harbor shall be completed prior to commencement of the development of
any areas which drain into Catalina Harbor. The general objectives and outline of
the study shall be designed to accomplish the goals outlined in Appendix C, "A
Study of the Marine Environment of Catalina Harbor, Santa Catalina Island,
California, with Reference to a Proposed Residential- Recreational Development."
The study shall establish criteria to guide construction and grading in a manner
which protects the Catalina Harbor marine habitat. This study will identify appro-
priate mitigation measures, establish an impact monitoring program and deter-
mine under what circumstances harbor dredging can occur in order to maintain
existing boat moorings while safeguarding the viability of the unique mudbottom
habitat.
(c) Existing Incompatible Development. The developer shall
submit a schedule/plan which shows how existing development which is incom-
patible with the certified land use plan will be phased out as new development
occurs. Development is considered incompatible if it is located in areas shown on
the Two Harbors land use plan where the particular land use category does not
permit the existing use; existing uses and structures which do not conform to
applicable development standards are considered incompatible. Existing incom-
patible residential development shall not be removed until adequate compatible
residential development has been completed and is available for occupancy. For the
purposes of this subsection, the Old Union Army Barracks or the Banning Resi-
dence and Cottages are not considered incompatible development.
(d) Open Space. Appropriate areas designated as view-corridor
and conservation/recreation on Maps 13A and 13B shall be identified on the
tentative map or plot plan as reserved for public access or, in the hillside conserva-
tion recreation area, reserved for view and habitat protection. Reservation of the
right of public access to these shoreline and trails areas and other open space areas
shall be made a condition of approval of development. If the development is
planned in phases, it shall be designed so that each successive phase will contain
sufficient amounts of open space in the view corridor and conservation/recreation
categories that is found to be necessary, pursuant to Sections 22.46.650 through
22.46.670 to mitigate the impacts associated with the development which is being
SuDP. =« b. 3-w 22-234.18
m
22.46.220
considered by that particular phase. Beach and road areas currently in use by the
general public shall be included in initial dedications or protected by interim
agreements so that no development reduces areas open to the general public. Such
reservation shall be secured in accordance with the procedures contained in Section
22.46.680 and shall be by public dedication, establishment of a maintenance
district or other means satisfactory to the planning director, to insure the perma-
nent reservation of and, where appropriate, perpetual maintenance of the areas. If
the development is determined to be a subdivision, open space areas shall be so
identified by appropriate notation on the final map or by separate instrument in
conjunction with a parcel map, or grant of waiver and certificate of compliance.
The reservation of open space and public access shall be in an amount and utilize
such methods (e.g., trails, roadway corridors, view and habitat protection areas,
areas designated for density transfer, geologically unstable areas, etc.) which the
county finds are necessary to maintain existing beach, road and recreation areas, to
provide sufficient public areas for recreation, to carry out the purposes of the plan
for concentration of development and other purposes to serve the proposed
medium density community and major tourist attraction.
(e) Operation and Maintenance Expenses. A report discussing
the methods of financing the continued operation and maintenance of open space
areas, streets and other similar facilities shall be prepared by the developer. In
addition, the report shall review alternative programs to finance station facilities,
equipment and staffing for fire and sheriff protection, emergency medical services
and other urban services including library, sanitation, etc. shall be evaluated. Such
programs may include benefit assessment districts, subdivision extractions and
other development surcharges. Prior to commencement of development in the
Isthmus/Two Harbors area, an appropriate financing mechanism shall be formu-
lated and implemented so that necessary services will be available as development
takes place. This program shall be adopted as an amendment to the specific plan.
(0 Landscaping. A plan for landscaping all open areas including
the view corridor shall be prepared by a licensed landscape architect. Such plans
shall preserve existing trees and native vegetation when possible. Plant materials
shall be used to integrate the manmade and natural environments, to screen or
soften visual impacts of new developments and to provide diversity within devel-
oped areas. The landscaping plan shall be adopted as an amendment to the specific
plan.
(g) School Site. The developer shall provide a 3 '/: acre school site
for the Long Beach Unified School District in the area shown on Map #13A in
Appendix D or other suitable alternative site approved by the school district and
planning director, when the district finds that such site is required to serve the
educational needs of the Two Harbors area. The school site and the timing of the
dedication shall be subject to approval by the Long Beach Unified School District
and shall be adopted as an amendment to the specific plan.
(h) Signs. A sign program shall be prepared by the developer
which recognizes the pedestrian orientation and architectural style of the Two
Harbors area. This program shall be sufficiently detailed to regulate the size,
amount, height, spacing, lighting and types of signs allowed for commercial,
directional and interpretive uses. The guiding principles of the sign program are
that signs should be small, few in number, unlighted or of low intensity lighting and
designed to be compatible with the surrounding development. The sign program
shall be adopted as an amendment to the specific plan.

22.46.220
(i) Transportation. A study shall be prepared by a traffic
engineer which investigates the need for additional or improved transportation
facilities between Avalon and Two Harbors. If the study indicates there is a need for
enhanced access between the two communities, the possibility of improving Air-
port Road and Empire Landing Road to provide better access for emergency
vehicles and to reduce traffic through Middle Canyon and other hiking areas should
be evaluated. Such study should investigate alternate modes of transportation
including, but not limited to, high occupancy motor vehicles, water transportation
and helicopters. The study should also focus on ways to reduce the traffic between
Two Harbors and, thus, reduce the need for additional roads in the interior of the
island. The study shall make recommendations for improving the transportation
linkages between Avalon and Two Harbors. Development at Two Harbors will be
contingent upon the certification of an amendment to the specific plan containing a
transportation plan and phased implementation of necessary transportation
improvements.
(j) Vehicle Control. A vehicle control ordinance shall be pre-
pared by the developer which regulates the type, size and number of vehicles
allowed in the Two Harbors area. The use of motor vehicles shall be minimized and
shall be limited to emergency, service, group and public transportation uses.
Residents shall be permitted one golf cart or similar small vehicle per dwelling unit.
The provisions of this ordinance shall also address parking requirements for
private "golf cart" type vehicles, service vehicles and transit vehicles. The ordi-
nance shall be submitted to the county for review and certified as an amendment to
the specific plan. Additional motor vehicles associated with new uses shall be
regulated through the coastal development permit process until the permanent
ordinance regulating vehicles is adopted.
(k) Water and Utility. A water, waste disposal and utility service
availability report shall be prepared by the developer that is consistent with the
requirements of Sections 22.46.720, 22.46.730, 22.46.740, and 22.46.750. Prior to
development, except as provided under the interim development standards of this
plan, the detailed water, utility and waste disposal plan consistent with Section
1351 1 of the California Code of Regulations shall be certified as an amendment to
the specific plan.
5. Development Potential and Phasing Schedule. The maximum
allowable development in the Two Harbors area shall be limited to the following
area and capacity amounts and shall be developed according to the phasing sched-
ule contained in this subsection.

22.46.230 Development standards. A. In addition to the standards apphca-
ble to all propeny on Santa Catalina Island, the development standards contained
in this subsection apply specifically to the Two Harbors Resort Village district. In
lieu of the architectural features contained in subsections (B)(2) and (C), the
developer may submit a comprehensive architectural concept plan that will imple-
ment the intent of this subsection. Such architectural concept plan shall be subject
to the approval of the county and shall be based on a review of the intent provisions
contained in subsection (B)(1) and the LUP, not the specific architectural features
contained in subsections (B)(2) or (C). The concept plan shall contain design
guidelines and specifications for architectural accents, building materials, colors,
fences and walls, height limits, landscaping, paving materials, roof treatments,
styles and surface materials. This plan shall be sufficiently detailed to allow the
county to thoroughly evaluate new development proposals in the design review
process. After review and approval by the county, such guidelines and specifica-
tions shall be certified as an amendment to the specific plan.
B. District-wide. These provisions shall apply to the entire district unless
superceded by specific land use category standards which differ from these provi-
sions.
I. Intent.
(a) Two Harbors will serve visitors as a major entry port to the
island. In addition, it will be a medium density residential development with
commercial and light industrial uses to serve the residents and visitors. The low-
rise development will be harmonious with the terrain and enhanced by landscap-
ing. The view corridor will provide an open area for enhanced views of the harbors.
22-234.23 supp. * 6. j-90
22.46.230
(b) The Two Harbors development will be clustered around an
open public area. The village look will be enhanced by restricting motor vehicles
and encouraging pedestrian traffic throughout the new development.
(c) A limited variety of architectural styles will be pennitted in
the new development. Large impeimeable paving surfaces are discouraged and
loose paving, defining more informal paths, is advocated. Materials, color and
forms must actually express what they are and not imitate other materials (such as
tin, tile, wood, sheet metal, etc.). The use of wood as the basic building material is
encouraged to achieve an overall harmonious architectural theme. In this hilly
country, roofs will often be seen from above; the form and color of roofs are
important to the aesthetics of the development.
(d) These standards shall be applied to all development within
the Two Harbors Resort Village district. Additional standards for individual land
use categories are listed after the district wide standards. Illustrations and diagrams
depicting examples of these standards are contained in Appendix F.
2. Architectural Features. These features are intended as guidelines
rather than absolute standards. They are included as suggestions to achieve a sense
of architectural continuity and design harmony in Two Harbors.
(a) Colors. Colors should be light in tone.
(b) Continuous Walls. All exterior walls should contain turns,
angles, indentations, recessed or projecting window frames, planters, tile work, etc.
to prevent monotonous unbroken surfaces.
(c) Paving Materials. Pedestrian paths, patios and driveways
should be paved with brick, stone, shell, tile or individual concrete units separated
by permeable spaces.
(d) Permitted Styles. Permitted styles should be limited; the
following styles, termed Mediterranean, Victorian, and Stone Rustic are suggested.
Each of these styles have suggested surface materials. In addition, each style has
recommended architectural details.
— Victorian style has a painted wooden clapboarding for walls.
Roof shall be fire resistant shingles.
— Mediterranean style has stucco or plaster walls. Roofs shall
be of red clay tile.
— Stone Rustic style lo have walls primarily of rough stone
indigenous to Cataiina but walls may have some exposed
wood. Roofs shall be fire resistant shingles.
(e) Roof Angles. Pitched roofs are preferred; flat roofs may be
used when designed for outdoor living space or roof gardens.
(f) Roof Material. Shingles of a natural color or clay tile of an
approved color are permitted and shall be fire resistant.
(g) Surface Materials. Stone, stucco, and wood are permitted as
dominant surface materials. Other materials may be permitted only when shown to
be harmonious with the dominant prevailing surfaces and style.
3. Building Restrictions.
(a) Cataiina Harbor. A 100 meter buffer zone shall be established
around the perimeter of Cataiina Harbor as shown on Map #I3A in Appendix D.
No new development shall be allowed within this buffer zone other than the land
uses identified on the Two Harbors Land Use Map (Map #13 A, Appendix D) and
Supp. # 6, i-^Q 22-234.24
•
22.46.230
limited drainage control devices consistent with the hazard, marine and land
environment policies of the LUP, provided that such devices cannot reasonably be
located outside the buffer zone.
(b) Drainage Courses. Drainage courses shall be left in their
natural state. No building shall be permitted within 20 feet of the bank of the
drainage course. The drainage course bank is considered that portion of the land at
the top of the slope rising up from the streambed or that portion outside of the 50-
year flood hazard area as determined by a registered civil engineer. Any road or trail
which crosses a drainage course shall be constructed so as to not interfere with the
flow of water.
(c) Maximum Allowable Slopes. Development shall not occur
on slopes of greater than 30 percent. Minor intrusions of 10 percent of the developa-
ble areas may be permitted in areas up to 40 percent slope provided development
conforms to all other standards.
4. Site Design Requirements.
(a) Height Limits. Buildings shall not exceed 28 feet maximum
height. Within 300 feet of mean high tide line, height will not exceed 14 feet.
(b) Landscaping. Landscaping shall be integrated into the design
of each development and continuously maintained. Plant materials shall be
selected from the list contained in Appendix A. Alternate materials, including non-
native ornamental plants adapted to a summer drought (Mediterranean) climate,
may be used in areas developed with urban uses.
(c) Lot Area: 5,0p0 square feet.
(d) Lot Coverage: 50 percent.
(e) Lot Width: 50 feet.
(0 Parking. Parking requirements shall be based on the vehicle
control ordinance prepared by the developer and approved by the county. In the
absence of such an ordinance, the hearing officer shall determine the location and
amount of parking spaces sufficient to accommodate residents, employees, cus-
tomers and service vehicles.
(g) Rooftop Drainage. Buildings shall be designed in such a
fashion that rainwater will be collected and funneled to a common location away
from developed sites in order to prevent absorption into hillside expansive soils.
Drainage plans shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Public
Works.
(h) Service Area Screening- Service areas shall have screen walls
or combination landscaped berms and walls to screen the service area.
(i) View Protection. Residences and other structures shall be
sited to lake advantage of the view and shall be designed to minimize the obstruc-
tion of special views from a neighboring dwelling and views to the shoreline or of
special geographic features from the view corridor, public roads and pedestrian
walks.
5. State-Jurisdiction in Specified Areas
— Piers, docks and any other development proposed or undertaken
on any tideiands, submerged lands or on public trust lands,
whether filled or unfilled, lying within the coastal zone require
22-234.25 Supp. » 6. 3-9o
22.46.230
approval by the Coastal Commission. Such development which
extends landward of the mean high tide line also requires the
approval of the county of Los Angeles.
C. Land Use Categories. Where the specific standards for a particular land
use category differ from the district-wide provisions, such standards shall super-
cede the district-wide provisions.
1. Conservation/Recreation.
— All new landscaping materials introduced in this area shall be

coastal development permit, the applicant shall submit an archaeology report for
the entire project site prepared by a qualified archaeologist, and comply with
mitigation measures suggested by the archaeologist, suggested during the review
process and approved by the Department of Regional Planning (DRP). Prior to
approval of plan that includes excavation of a site or grading or disturbance located
closer than 100 feet to a previously identified site, the preliminary report and the
draft mitigation measures shall be circulated to persons requesting such notice
including the State Office of Historical Preservation and individuals identified by
the Native American Heritage Commission as approved resource people represent-
ing the Gabheiino Indians. Such notice shall be provided as part of the permit
review process. The archaeology report shall comply with the guidelines of the State
Office of Historical Preservation. Mitigation measures may include, but are not
limited to, preserving the resources intact underground, fencing the site, redesign-
ing or relocating the project to avoid impact on cultural resources or dedicating
construction rights to the county of Los Angeles. Other measures include requiring
the presence of an archaeological monitor at the site during grading and excavation
or using construction methodis that prevent stockpiling and scraping, or storage of
equipment from occurring on sensitive portions of the site. After testing and
mapping by a quaUfied archaeologist, the site may be covered with a layer of fill of
sufficient depth to prevent damage to the underlying resources for surface use as an
open space area; alternately, the cultural resources may be excavated by a qualified
archaeologist. For the purpose of this specific plan, a qualified archaeologist is a
person who has been certified by the Society of Professional Archaeologists and
who has a minimum of three years of experience investigating and interpreting sites
in southern California.
B. As a condition of approval of a coastal development permit, the appli-
cant shall agree to suspend construction in the vicinity of a cultural resource
encountered during development of the site, and leave the resource in place until a
qualified archaeologist can examine them and determine appropriate mitigation
measures. The archaeological mitigation or recovery plan shall be approved by the
DRP as an amendment to the coastal development permit according to the provi-
sions of Section 22.56.2530. The applicant shall agree to comply with mitigation
measures recommended by the archaeologist and approved by the DRP after
public notice and comment. If human remains are discovered, the developer shall
contact the Native American Heritage Commission for a list of approved resource
people representing the Gabrielino Indians and shall retain someone from this list
to monitor excavation activities.

permit shall submit a site plan drawn to a scale satisfactory to, and in the number of
copies prescribed by the director, identifying the location and species of all vegeta-
tion on the subject property that is located within 100 feet of any construction,
excavation, grading or other similar development; the height and diameter of all
trees over six feet tall shall be plotted on the site plan. Where proposed develop-
ment is linear in form and extends for more than 1,000 feet, the director may waive
the 100 foot requirement for vegetation mapping if adequate botanic information
has been submitted which the director can use to evaluate and mitigate potential
adverse environmental impacts of the development The site plan shall be prepared
by a qualified botanist except that in the case of development located more than 100
feet from undeveloped areas or riparian habitats, within the boundaries of a
disturbed area, the director may accept other verification of the type and distribu-
tion of the vegetation. The botanist or other qualified person shall also submit a
report evaluating the impact of the proposed development on the vegetation and
other wildlife and suggest appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the impact
on the native vegetation. Such mitigation measures may include, but are not
limited to redesigning the proposed development, transplanting vegetation which
may be disturbed and planting new vegetation of similar species to replace any
vegetation which would be removed by the proposed development The applicant
shall comply with the mitigation measures suggested by the botanist or other
qualified person and imposed by the DRP on the basis of additional biological or
range management information supplied to it by the time of the hearing.
B. Development which would remove or damage any of the rare or
endangered plant species contained in Appendix G shall be allowed only if relocat-
ing or reducing the scope of the development would deprive the applicant of all uses
of his property, and if the applicant has complied with mitigation measures
suggested by the botanist, range management agencies, other qualified reviewers
and by the public during the hearing process and approved by the DRP. Mitigation
may including relocation of the development, reduction in scale, reservation of
portions of the site, fencing during construction or other measures recommended
during the permit process.
C. Channelizations, dams or other substantial alterations of streambeds
shall protect biotic resources by incorporating mitigation measures including, but
not limited to, revegetating disturbed areas, using natural materials for stream bank
protection, avoiding areas of biotic significance and leaving stream bottoms in a
natural condition. Substantial alterations shall be limited to necessary water supply
projects, flood protection projects where no feasible alternative exists for protecting
life and property in the flood plain and projects whose primary function is the
improvement of fish and wildlife habitat.

riparian vegetation shall be measured from a line outside the dripUnes of the woody
species listed above or where the plants listed above constitute less than 25 percent
of the vegetation cover. The planning director may estabUsh an alternate line
constituting the edge of riparian vegetation where a unique vegetation pattern
exists, as documented by a botanist or wildlife biologist, and either creates practical
difficulties or unnecessary hardships or would result in damage to habitat. Such
alternate line shall be located to provide for the continued viability of the riparian
habitat and shall not significantly reduce the area of riparian vegetation.
F. All development, except water wells developed in conformance with
Sections 22.46.470 and 22.46.730, and campground improvements approved

requirement to construct and maintain fences around them, to leave the areas
undeveloped or to use other measures devised as a result of biological information
prepared by the applicant, the Department of Fish and Game or otherwise obtained
during the permit process. The SEA's shown on the special management areas map
of the general plan are based on ** Areas of Special Botanical Significance** prepared
by Dr. R. F. Thome for the Center for Natural Areas in 1976. These areas are shown
on the maps contained in Appendix D; more precise boundaries will be obtained
during the individual studies of the natural resources done by the applicant when
development is proposed within an SEA.
H. Development shall avoid conflicts with the reintroduction programs for
the endangered bald eagle and peregrine falcon by coordinating with the State of
California Department of Fish and Game. Developers shall submit evidence that
the Department of Fish and Game has reviewed the site plans for the proposed
development and has no objection to them. Applications for helistops and heliports
shall also design the approach and departure routes to avoid conflicts with
endangered and native bird populations. (Ord. 89-0148 § I (part), 1989.)

trust lands is subject to the permit requirements of the Coastal Commission as cited
in Section 22.56.2360. era
G. Special attention shall be given to the scale of all new structures to insure
that their size, height, length and/or bulk are compatible with the natural and man-
made features in the surrounding area.
H. In order to protect the coastal scenic resources and views of the shoreline
from the water and, where applicable, from inland accessways or roads open to the
public, development in cove areas must be designed to avoid building congestion
and minimize alteration of significant views of the ocean, major ridgelines, dis-
tinctive geologic and topographic features, important stands of endemic native
vegetation, natural streams and riparian habitats. The longstanding use of many of
the leeward-facing coves for youth camps and educational facilities is recognized
and encouraged to continue consistent with these provisions. The size and location
of all structures shall be designed to achieve an uncluttered appearance, permit
views into coastal canyons and valleys and create a sense of openness and harmony
between the development and natural landscape. Recognizing the unique and
distinctive character of various coastal locations, the developer shall choose one of
the following methods to protect coastal views: (Note: These provisions do not
apply to the Two Harbors Resort Village District.)
1. Between 150-650 feet of mean high tide line will be designated
"shoreline adjacent view enhancement" (SAVE) zone. For the purpose of this
subsection, the term "developable area" refers to land having a natural slope of less
than 30 percent. Any development within this SAVE zone will comply with the
following standards:
(a) The long axis of buildings shall be sited perpendicular to
coast; adjustments may be approved by the planning director to conform to local
topographic conditions.
(b) Maximum building width shall be 30 feet.
(c) Maximum height of buildings shall be 14 feet.
(d) Outside of SAVE zone maximum height of buildings shall be
28 feet.
(e) Minimum distance between buildings shall be 100 feet,
except when a building is located directly behind another with respect to the
shoreline, in such cases the distance shall be reduced to 10 feet minimum. Cluster-
ing of buildings may be approved by the planning director where it will result in
preservation of views into the cove.
Supp. # 6. 3-90 22-234.48
22.46.520
(f) Buildings which are located entirely within 50 feet of the edge
of the developable area may be oriented parallel to the edge rather than perpen-
dicular to the shoreline.
(g) Landscaping using plant materials listed in Appendices A
and G, shall be used to soften the view of the buildings from the shoreline but shall
not block views of the interior natural landscape from the shoreline.
(h) An open space area shall be reserved in each cove using one
of the following methods:
(i) Structural coverage shall not exceed 70 percent of the
developable area of the SAVE zone. Open spaces shall be located to provide for the
protection of scenic resources as viewed from the shore and interior public
accessways.
(ii) No buildings shall be built within an open space cor-
ridor having a width of 30 percent of the width of the developable area. Such
corridor width shall be calculated by measuring the width of the developable area at
100 foot intervals beginning 150 feet from the mean high tide line. The planning
director shall approve an open space corridor extending inland from the ocean and
located along any of the following lines:
— The median or center line of the developable area.
— The middle of a streambed located in the developable
area.
— The center of a road or trail traversing the central
portion of the developable area.
2. In lieu of the method described in subsection (H)( 1 ) of this section,
the developer may prepare an alternate method to protect scenic and other
resources in cove areas. Such alternative method shall consist of a master plan
approved under Section 22.46.550 (H). (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.530 Signs. A. Signs shall not exceed an area of 1 square feet, with no
more than one sign per business permitted.
B. Signs shall be for the purpose of identification of the property or busi-
ness which the sign is on or for direction.
C. Signs shall not be lighted from within; rather signs shall be lighted
indirectly.
D. No roof signs shall be permitted.
E. On ridgelines, maximum sign height shall be three feet.
F. Freestanding signs shall not reach a height more than five feet from
ground to top of sign, and freestanding signs shall have an area of no more than
three square feet
G. Signs shall not be sited in such a way as to obstruct views.
H. When possible, signs shall be made of wood and painted. (Ord. 89-0 1 48
§ 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.540 Variances. Variances from the development standards contained
in this specific plan may be applied for pursuant to the provisions of Part 2 of
Chapter 22.56. In addition to the burden of proof contained in Section 22.56.290 of
said Part 2, the applicant shall also prove:
A. That the variance is consistent with the local coastal program and the
intent of the land use district of the specific plan.
22-234.49 supp. # 6. 3-9o
22.46.540
B. That there would be no adverse impact on the environment (Ord. 89-
0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.550 Site design requirements. A. Architectural Features. Factory-
built, mobilehome, modular, prefabricated or similar type housing for employee
dwelling units shall have an architectural style approved by the planning director.
These units shall be screened and incorporate appropriate design features such as
textured or rough wood siding, eaves, natural colors, etc. to integrate them with
other development or the existing landscape in the area. Reflective, glossy, polished
and/or roll-formed type metal roofing or siding shall not be permitted.
B. Height Limits. Buildings shall not exceed 28 feet maximum height
Within 300 feet of mean high tide line, height will not exceed 14 feet.
C. Lot Area: 5,000 square feet
D. Lot Coverage: 50 percent
E. Lot Width: 50 feet.
F. Parking. The number and location of spaces shall be established by the
planning director in an amount sufficient to accommodate residents, guests,
employees and service vehicles.
G. Yards. The width of yards shall be determined by the planning director
to provide sufficient light air, access and space between adjoining uses.
H. Camp Master Plans. In order to balance the provisions of the public
access, coastal recreation and resource protection policies in this specific plan,
alternate methods of protection may be approved in a camp master plan. The camp
master plan shall be approved through the coastal development permit process,
identify all resources and safety constraints in the cove, visual character, the stream
bed, the flood plain, known archaeological deposits, the habitat and the existing
and logical routes for venical and lateral access in the cove. The master plan shall
provide for protection and enhancement of the natural resources of the camp, and
reestablishment of vegetation in other portions of the camp or leasehold, and views
and potential accessways to and along the shoreline. No new structures shall be
erected and no existing structures shall be expanded unless they are in conformance
with an approved master plan and all mitigation measures have been carried out
Approval of the master plan shall be based on the finding that the master plan
enhances recreational use of the site and that the master plan provides as well or
better for view and resource protection and enhancement than would be achieved
by separate application of the resource provisions in Section 22.46.450 through
22.46.520. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.560 Nonconforming uses, buildings and structures. All nonconform-
ing uses, buildings and structures shall be subject to the provisions of Part 10,
Chapter 22.56 except as provided below:
A. Notwithstanding the development criteria relating to scenic resource
protection in cove areas, the provision of Title 22 relating to additions, repairs and
maintenance of nonconforming buildings and structures contained in Section
22.56.1510 and the amortization provisions contained in Section 22.56.1540 shall
not apply to youth camps and educational facilities so long as the structure con-
forms to the following:
1. The height of the structure is not increased.
2. The original outside dimension or "footprint" of the structure are
not expanded, in the case of a replacement structure.
Supp. * 6. 3-90 22-234.50
22.46.560
3. Any additions are located in such a fashion that scenic resources
are not impaired.
B. Additions may be made to nonconforming visitor-serving structures in
the Two Harbors resort village district provided the addition conforms to the
following:
1. The height of the structure is not increased.
2. The addition is limited to 25 percent of the existing floor area.
3. The addition shall not be construed to extend the termination of
the subject nonconforming structure. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46^70 Additional coastal development permit requirements. In addition
to the requirements imposed by Part 17 of Chapter 22.56, all coastal development
permits in the Santa Catalina Island coastal zone shall comply with the following:
A. Additional Filing Requirements. In addition to the material required by
Section 22.56.2310, an application for a coastal development permit shall contain
the following information:
1. The names and addresses of all lessees, sub-lessees or similar
persons having the right to use the subject property.
2. The names and addresses of all persons, public agencies, corpora-
tions or other similar entities owning an easement over all or a portion of the
subject property.
3. Topographic and resource information, including location of all
streams, cliffs, mean high tide line, riparian vegetation and other resources identi-
fied in the LUP.
4. Evidence that the Southern California Edison Company or other
water purveyor is able to supply adequate and sufficient water and meet the
requirements of Part IV of the Santa Catalina Island specific plan.
5. Evidence that the applicant has the concurrence of the county of
Los Angeles department of parks and recreation for all lands located in the open
space easement area.
6. The director may waive the filing of one or more of the above items
if he finds the nature of the development is unrelated to the required item.
B. Additional Notice Requirements. In addition to the procedures and
requirements of Section 22.56.2400, the applicant shall post and maintain copies of
the required notice during the specified time period at the following locations:
1. Along the exterior boundary of the subject property and along
roads, trails or other accessways traversing or bordering the subject property. Such
notices shall be placed at intervals of no more than 500 feet.
2. In the city of Avalon and the Two Harbors area at places where
such notices are commonly posted and would be conspicuous to members of the
general public. Such location shall be approved by the planning director. (Ord. 89-
0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.580 Access issues. A. The Santa Catalina Island LUP identifies three
public access issues. These include:
1. Access to both harbor and inland areas by all social and economic
groups.
2. Specialized access areas for handicapped persons.
3. Protection of environmentally sensitive habitat areas and special
use areas from unrestricted access.
22-234.51 Supp. * 6. 3-90
22,46.580
B. The following access and circulation requirements are designed to
implement the above issues. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46^90 Access from the mainland. Major access to Catalina Island shall
remain at Avalon and Two Harbors, while a third future access point may be
developed in the Empire Landing area. A specific implementation plan for
improved access in this area is to be designed by the Santa Catalina Island Com-
pany, working in conjunction with the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, the
department of parks and recreation and the lessee. The plan shall be prepared when
access at Avalon and Two Harbors becomes overcrowded or otherwise impaired.
This plan shall limit and control public access around the existing quarry and the
employee housing area to protect public safety and to preserve the privacy of the
residents. The specific implementation plan and map for the Empire Landing
access corridor shall be certified as amendments to the specific plan before any
visitor-serving use is permitted in Empire Landing. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.600 Interior access. A. Inland roads and trails shall be available to the
public for recreational, scientific, educational, scenic and other open space pur-
poses to the greatest extent possible consistent with protection of the open space
character of the land, including the protection and preservation of the natural
habitat of wildlife and plants. This shall be accomplished by the continued use of a
permit system or other method which regulates the maximum number of persons
allowed in various areas of the island. Persons who have permitted access to
interior trails in the easement area shall not be precluded by development from
using beaches and trails in the easement area or in other areas which have been
opened for public use. This shall apply to persons arriving by boat, at locations
other than Avalon or Two Harbors, who want to use inland roads and trails. The
department of parks and recreation, the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy and,
where applicable, the Santa Catalina Island Company shall base the maximum
capacities for specific sites on resource limitations and the quality of visitor
experience proposed. These numbers may be adjusted through mutual agreement
of these organizations as additional information on resource impacts becomes
available.
B. Primary access to inland areas shall be by hiking. Additional access by
horses, bicycles, common carrier affording access to the handicapped, shuttle buses
and other means of conveyance may be allowed in those areas where such modes
are compatible with safety, road or trail condition and resource protection. (Ord.
89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.610 Vehicular access. Authorized vehicles may be allowed into the
island interior, on approved roads and subject to a permit system which requires
insurance coverage and payment of fees. The total number of such permits may be
limited to insure public safety and environmental protection. The Santa Catalina
Island Conservancy shall consult in good faith with the department of parks and
recreation regarding the imposition of fees and limitations. Any fees or limitations
shall be reasonable and shall not have the effect of unduly limiting or impairing the
public's right of entry and use of the lands comprising the open space easement
(Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.620 Access for handicapped persons. In order to provide access for
handicapped persons, each application for a coastal development permit shall be
Supp. # 6. 3-90 22-234.52
22,46.620
reviewed for compliance with Title 24 of the California Administrative Code.
Specific types of structural improvements will depend upon the specific conditions
at a given site and shall be designed on a site specific basis. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part),
1989.)
22.46.630 Two Harbors access. A. Public access shall be provided over
those areas designated in the LUP as "view corridor" and "conservation/recrea-
tion" within the proposed Two Harbors development Access shall be regulated for
the interim development authorized by Section 22.46.220 (A)(4) by either the
development agreement procedure described in Section 22.46.220 or on a case-by-
case basis according to the dedication/reservation criteria contained in Sections
22.46.650 through 22.46.700. After the allowed interim development, access shall
be regulated by a bicycle and pedestrian circulation plan, which will be prepared
according to the timing and dedication/reservation criteria contained in Sections
22.46.650 through 22.46.700 and Section 22.46.220 (A)(4). The plan will be devel-
ics oped by the major landowner and approved by the departments of parks and
recreation and regional planning. In order to assure adequate public access to the
open space easement area the plan shall designate certain roadway corridors (see
Map #13A and B, Appendix D) as regulated entry points. The designated corridors
listed below shall be available for hiking, but the use of bicycles or other modes of
transportation may be restricted to protect public safety and natural resources.
— Banning House Road.
— Silver Peak Trail.
— Two Harbors Road.
— West End Road.
B. The circulation system shall connect with existing and proposed hiking
trails with the limitation that, in the shoreline area around the Ballast Point salina,
access may be controlled but not restricted, in order to preserve the sensitive
habitat area. The methods of controlling the access around the Ballast Point salina
shall be identified in the circulation plan for the Two Harbors resort village land use
district and shall contain the following features:
1. A monitoring system in which a biologist periodically evaluates
the salt marsh habitat to determine that the biotic resources have not been
adversely impacted by people visiting the area.
2. If adverse impacts on the habitat resources have been observed the
following restrictions to pedestrian use of the area may be imposed:
— Curtailing the hours of daily use.
— Reducing the number of people using the site.
— Restricting access to sensitive areas such as nesting sites or breed-
ing grounds.
— Limiting access to the use of designated trails.
— Allowing access under the supervision of a naturalist guide.
C. The bicycle and pedestrian routes shall link with proposed residential
areas, lodges, commercial development, piers and the proposed interpretive center.
The pedestrian circulation system shall include routes accessible to wheelchairs or
other conveyances for handicapped persons and may include the following ele-
ments:
— Appropriate lighting.
— Seating areas.
— Trash receptacles.
22-234.53 Supp. # 6. 3-90
22.46.630
— Information boards/kiosks.
(Ord 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.640 Limitation on roadway construction. No new roadways shall be
allowed in the open space/conservation land use district Existing roads may be
repaired, improved or realigned to protect public safety; any adverse impacts on the
environment associated with such projects shall be fully mitigated. New roads may
be constructed in other land use districts where necessary to provide access to
authorized developments; such projects shall fully mitigate any adverse environ-
mental impacts. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (pan), 1989.)
22.46.650 Review of new development. New development along the coast
shall be assessed during the coastal development permit process to identify the
development's impacts and needs associated with the public's right to recreational
access to and along the shore. The conditions imposed by the local agency upon
such developments shall reasonably relate to the impacts and needs of the affected
development and related development. The conditions shall be those which are
necessary to alleviate the impacts and needs identified in the development assess-
ment process. Therefore, the provisions in the land use plan relating to compulsory
dedication of shoreline access shall be implemented only on a case-by-case basis,
where appropriate written findings supported by substantial evidence may be
adopted by the local agency to support such conditions. The conditions shall
substantially advance a legitimate state interest, without denying an owner eco-
nomically viable use of the land. Findings regarding public shoreline access are
required even when it is not appropriate to require dedication. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1
(part), 1989.)
22.46.660 Access findings. A. In order to make the appropriate findings
with regard to vertical or lateral access requirements, the county shall:
1. Base all findings on factual evidence obtained at the public hear-
ing, submitted by the applicant or interested parties, or discovered during the staffs
investigation.
2. Evaluate the impact of the proposed development on existing
access to public tidelands, submerged lands or to other areas subject to public access
rights and easements, or on land now open and in common use by the general
public.
3. Identify the access-related problems associated with the develop-
ment The following are examples of potential problems: the reduction of available
sand supply to replenish beaches, the reduction of sand area, thereby diminishing
public access along the shoreline and public recreation along the shoreline, increas-
ing the intensity of use of public tidelands, creating the need for additional public
access, reducing the availability and quality of areas currently subject to public
access rights.
4. Cite the specific Coastal Act provisions that are impacted by the
development and state how the proposed development as conditioned if applica-
ble, is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter
3 of the act.
5. Explain how the proposed conditions would solve the access prob-
lem created by the development
Supp. # 6, 3-90 22-234.54
22.46.660
6. Consider alternate access which is already provided in the vicinity
of the development within the cove or area identified in the access chart located in
the specific plan following Section 22.46.670, or which, if provided as a condition of
this development, would provide the vertical access required in the LUP for this
portion of the coastline.
B. The following are examples of situations that could result in the imposi-
tion of conditions requiring vertical and/or lateral access:
1. Development of a new facihty (e.g., campground, lodge or restau-
rant) which would generate additional visitors to an area where dedicated access to
the beach does not presently exist.
2. Expansion or additional development at a private or semi-public
(group) facility which would restrict public access by intensifying the private or
semi-public (group) use of the beach or by occupying areas subject to the public
trust with a private or semi-public (group) facility such as a pier or dock.
3. Construction or other development on a sandy beach or in an area
that would restrict public access to the shoreline.
4. Construction of structures or other improvements, including but
not limited to shoreline protective devices, any building, road, pipe, flume, con-
duit, siphon or aqueduct, on a sandy beach or other area that would adversely affect
the local shoreline sand supply or reduce the availability of sand to replenish public
beaches.
5. . Divisions of land.
6. Development of new hotel or private dwelling units where such
development would increase competition for public beaches, burden transporta-
tion facilities or otherwise compete with the general public for beach access. (Ord.
89-0148 § I (part), 1989.)
22.46.670 Access conditions. Where new development is proposed in the
areas listed in the chart below and the appropriate findings have been made
regarding shoreline access, a condition requiring vertical and/or lateral access shall
be imposed with a coastal development permit according to the chart on the
following page.

NOTES: Signiflcant new development is not contemplated for Santa Verde or Silver Canyon.
The use of this chan requires the appropriate findings discussed in Sections 22.46.650 through
22.46.670.
(Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.680 Methods of securing access. The condition requiring lateral or
vertical access shall specify that such access be secured by either of the following:
A. The landowner shall execute and record a document, in a form and
content acceptable to the executive director of the California Coastal Commission,
irrevocably offering to dedicate to a public agency or private association approved
by the executive director an easement for lateral public access and passive recrea-
tion along the shoreline or for vertical access to the shoreline. The document shall
provide that the offer of dedication shall not be used or construed to allow anyone
prior to acceptance of the offer, to interfere with any rights of public access acquired
through use which may exist on the property. Such document shall state the precise
location and width of the easement The document shall be recorded free of prior
liens which the executive director determines may affect the interest being con-
veyed, and free of any other encumbrances which may affect said interest The offer
shall run with the land in favor of the people of the State of California, binding
successors and assignees of the landowner, and shall be irrevocable for a period of
21 years, such period running from the date of recording.
B. An alternate method approved by the planning director, county counsel
and Coastal Commission which would provide a similar guarantee of public access
as afforded by the irrevocable offer described in subsection A of this section. Such
method may be a binding agreement with the underlying property owner and shall
be effective for the life of the use for which the access is required.
C. Access agreements and recorded documents shall be reported to the
Coastal Commission consistent with the provisions of Section 13574 of Title 14 of
the California Code of Regulations. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
Supp. # 6. 3-90 22-234.56

22.46.690 Shoreline accessways. The following provisions pertain to
shoreline accessways which are dedicated or otherwise guaranteed in conformance
with the requirements of this specific plan and for which a public agency or private
association, approved by the executive director, has accepted the responsibility for
construction, maintenance and liabihty of said accessways:
A. The agency or association which accepts responsibility for a dedicated
or guaranteed accessway shall consult with the department of parks and recreation
within the open space easement area in the design of all shoreline access improve-
ments.
B. Vertical access easements shall be at least 10 feet in width and shall run
from the nearest roadway or trail available for public use to the shoreline. Lateral
access easements shall extend to the inland extent of the sandy or rocky beach.
C. In order to protect private property rights and to insure that organized
campground activities will not be disrupted, an access easement in a youth camp
shall not be located within 20 feet of a residential building or an organized activity
area, except that where topography restricts or would limit access, the 20 foot
separation may be reduced, but in all cases the access provided shall not be less than
10 feet in width.
D. Access easements shall be posted with identification signs located at the
junction of the vertical easement with the shoreline and the connecting roadway or
trail and along the inland extent of lateral easements.
E. Access easements in areas of rugged topography, geologic instability or
other similar hazardous conditions shall be controlled to protect public safety
through the coastal development permit process. Permit conditions may include,
but are not limited to, the following:
— Periodic easement maintenance to insure a safe accessway.
— Posting of warning signs which point out possible dangers and advise
users on safety concerns.
-^ Erecting appropriate guard rails or other barriers.
— Limiting access during high fire danger, after heavy rains or following a
major landslide or earthquake.
— Other measures deemed necessary by the authority supervising the site.
F. The State of California Department of Fish and Game shall review all
new shoreline access locations to avoid conflicts with the reintroduction programs
for the endangered bald eagle and peregrine falcon. Access sites must be thoroughly
investigated because these birds are coastal cUff nesters and will not generally
tolerate human disturbance. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.700 Access restrictions. A. Public access may be restricted in the
Pebbly Beach industrial area, the Pebbly Beach and Empire Landing quarry opera-
tions and the Big Fisherman's Cove helipad and mole areas in order to insure public
safety. Necessary restrictions and management may consist of, but are not limited
to, the following:
— Construction offences, guard rails or other barriers to prevent the public
from entering areas where hazardous activity is occurring.
— Limiting pubUc access to certain hours of the day or days of the week
when hazardous aaivities are not in operation.
— Posting of warning signs which notify the public of potential safety
hazards.
— Relocation of the public access to ensure safety.
22-234.57 Supp. # 6. 3-90
22.46,700
B. Any restrictions deemed necessary by the authority supervising the site
shall be reviewed for incorporation into the conditions of a coastal development
permit for new development in these areas. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.710 Land use plan. The Santa Catalina Island LUP provides exten-
sive information and policy regarding the existing and proposed distribution,
location and extent of utilities and public facilities. These provisions address major
components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, solid waste dis-
posal, energy and other essential facihties needed to support the proposed land
uses. This background material and policies are incorporated herein by reference.
(Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.720 Sewage. A. Detailed plans for liquid waste disposal shall be
formulated and submitted for review and approval by the Department of Health
Services in conjunction with development applications within the unincorporated
portions of Santa Catalina Island. Approval of new development is dependent
upon the Department of Public Works finding that there will be the satisfactory
provision of sufficient liquid waste disposal facilities.
B. Sewer outfalls are specifically prohibited in Catalina Harbor.
C. The wastewater treatment plant for the proposed Two Harbors develop-
ment shall be located adjacent to the existing wastewater reclamation pond (*'Q")
as shown on the adopted and certified Two Harbors land use map (see map #13B,
Appendix D). Approval by the Water Quality Control Board and the Department of
Health Services shall be required.
D. The city of Avalon sew^e treatment plant, located upland of the Pebbly
Beach area, shall be augmented with additional waste disposal capacity as needed.
(Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.730 Water. A. Adequate water resources shall be proven and delivery
plans provided in conjunction with new development applications for Two Har-
bors and other LUP designated development areas. Approval of new development
is dependent upon the satisfactory provision of domestic and fire flow water
supplies. Development applications shall not be approved unless sufficient water is
available as determined by the water supplier and, if applicable, the California
Public Utilities Commission (PUC). In addition, water for new development shall
be considered available only in an amount that will not significantly lower the water
table or reduce the viability of the riparian vegetation as determined in subsection
(E)(2)(a) of this section.
B. Prior to any development which would increase the consumption of
fresh water, the developer shall submit data, as part of the coastal development
permit process, which shows that there is sufficient freshwater to accommodate the
anticipated demand. In preparing this data, the developer shall use the standards
contained in subsection (E) of this section to assure that the required water can be
supplied without creating adverse impacts on Santa Catalina Island's natural
resources. The applicant shall also address what measures will be taken to conserve
water. Such measures may include such things as low-flow toilets, drip irrigation,
showerhead restrictors, etc., subject to the approval of the county, and shall be
made conditions of the coastal development permit for the proposed development.
C. Limited Water Surplus.
Supp. # 6, 3-90 22-234.58
•
22.46.730
1. When existing surplus freshwater available for new development
is limited, as determined by the water supplier and defined as less than two acre feet,
existing or proposed public recreation and visitor-serving land uses shall not be
precluded by other development In such instances, approval of development other
than public recreation and visitor-serving uses shall be supported by the following
findings:
(a) No visitor-serving use has been closed or reduced in opera-
tion during the past two years for lack of water,
(b) No visitor-serving use of the same or lesser water demand as
the proposed development has been denied or, if approved, has been unable to
develop during the past two years because of lack of water availability;
(c) That the proposed use is necessary for the protection of
public health, safety and general welfare; and
(d) That the proposed use will substantially benefit island resi-
dents and visitors, and will contribute to maximum public use and enjoyment of
existing recreation and visitor-serving facilities.
2. In the limited water situation described in subsection (C)( 1) of this
section, where a developer proposes to develop a new water resource to provide
water for the development, the inability to make findings (C)(1)(a) or (C)(1)(b) will
not preclude the approval of the development if the following occurs:
(a) Findings (C)(1)(c) and (C)(1)(d) are still made;
(b) The new water development will be consistent with subsec-
tion (E) of Section 22.46.730; and
(c) The new development will not reduce water available for
existing or potential low-cost visitor-serving uses and visitor-support uses, or if it
would reduce water available for such uses, that the effects would be mitigated by
appropriate means, including the development of additional water to serve such
uses, consistent with subsection (E) of Section 22.46.730 and the water supplier's
California PUC tariffs, if any.
3. If PUC tariffs allow consideration of public need and necessity to
determine water allocations, by the water supplier, the development of publicly
owned or operated lower cost visitor facilities shall be considered a public need and
necessity and receive due priority.
D. In order to preserve fi'esh water resources, new development at Two
Harbors shall utilize dual plumbing, sea water/freshwater, and/or other water
conservation methods (e.g., low-flow toilets) submitted to and approved by the
Department of Health Services in order to conserve freshwater resources. This
requirement does not exclude the possible use of desalinated water if feasible.
E. Development of New Water Resources.
1 . Prior to the development of new water resources, including raising
the level of existing reservoirs, constructing dams and new reservoirs, drilling of
water wells, constructing cisterns or other water retention devices, etc., the water
supplier shall prepare environmental documentation (e.g., initial study, negative
declaration or environmental impaa report) which addresses the following:
(a) The impact on existing plants and animals.
(b) The impact of decreased downstream water flow of perennial
or intermittent streams which support riparian vegetation or habitats.
(c) The impact of a lowered water table on existing springs,
streams, vegetation and wildlife.
22-234.59 Supp. # 6. 3-90
22.46.730
(d) The impact of damming a stream on the replenishment of
beach sand.
(e) The impact of lowering the water table in coastal areas on the
intrusion of salt water into the aquifer.
(f) The impact of constructing new pipelines, tunnels, etc. on the
biotic environment
(g) The impact on scenic coastal resources of constructing a
desalinization facility.
(h) The impact of the proposed facility on existing wells and
water systems.
(i) Any other impacts associated with the development of new
water resources which are not specifically listed above.
2. The appUcant for a water development facility shall submit the
following information in addition to that listed above:
(a) Detailed data on the existing quality and characteristics of
the aquatic, biotic and hydroiogic environments that would be affected by the
proposed projects, sufficient for the DRP, in consultation with appropriate agen-
cies, to estimate an annual yield of the water facility that will have no adverse
environmental effects.
(b) A periodic monitoring program, based on the data required
by subsection (E)(2)(a) above, which would carefully assess the impact of the
facility on the existing environment and identify any degradation of the natural
resources that may occur when the system is operational. Such program shall also
monitor the amount of water removed by the proposed system and other existing
systems within the same primary watershed.
(c) Multi-year projections of water availability shall be of suffi-
cient length to include both wet and dry cycles of precipitation; such projection
shall estimate the amount of water expected to be removed in dry years and the
impact of that removal on the environment.
(d) Water availability data from the drilling of test wells on the
site.
3. Projects which are shown to have adverse environmental impacts
which cannot be mitigated shall be denied. However, projects with any abatable
adverse impacts on riparian vegetation, wildlife habitats, aquifers, beach sand
replenishment, etc. shall be conditioned with mitigation measures recommended
in the environmental documentation and any other measures deemed necessary
which are approved by the county, after consultation with appropriate wildlife and
range managers, responsible agencies, the water supplier, and the PUC. The mitiga-
tion measures adopted shall also include specific measures to be taken in the event
that the monitoring program described in subsection (2)(b) above discloses adverse
effects, specified in the permit conditions, at a later date. Such measures shall be
designed to protect natural resources and allow provision of critical water service.
Monitoring and the conditional imposition of mitigation measures based upon the
monitoring shall be made conditions of approval of the required coastal develop-
ment permit and may include but are not limited to the following examples:
(a) Decreasing the amount of water withdrawn by the project.
(b) Releasing stored water to replenish the environment.
(c) In the case of a water development project which has not yet
commenced service, removing, relocating or discontinuing the water development
project.

F. The Los Angeles County department of parks and recreation shall initiate
negotiations with the city of Avalon and the Southern California Edison Company
to establish a "Fair Sheire^ allocation formula for new water resources developed
at county expense. If required, the agreed-to formula shall be submitted to the State
Public Utilities Commission for final ratification. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46.740 Solid waste. A. Detailed plans for solid waste disposal shall be
formulated by the applicant and submitted in conjunction with new development
applications within the unincorporated portion of Santa Catalina Island. Such plan
shall include provisions for recycling paper, metals, plastics and other salvageable
materials. Approval of new development is dependent upon the satisfactory provi-
sion of sufficient solid waste facilities as determined by the county.
B. The plan for solid waste disposal shall be consistent with the "County
Solid Waste Management Plan Triennial Review*" dated March 1984 and any
subsequent revisions.
C. Solid waste disposal shall be concentrated to the maximum extent
feasible at the island's two existing solid waste dumps at Pebbly Beach and above
Weirs Beach in Two Harbors. When a third landfill becomes necessary because
of capacity limitations at existing sites, increased solid waste generated by camp-
grounds or other visitor-serving uses, or new development at Two Harbors, the
owner/operator of the proposed waste facility shall submit an application for a new
site located at an abandoned quarry area at Empire Landing in Lot 85 as shown on
Map 3 and 4 of Appendix D. The proposed landHU must meet the requirements of
Title 23, California Code of Regulations, Subchapter 15 and be submitted to the
regional water quality control board to ev^uate its suitability as a landfill site. (Ord.
89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)
22.46,750 Energy. A. Approval of new development is dependent upon the
satisfactory provision of sufficient electrical power.
B. Pebbly Beach shall continue to serve as the focus of utility services for
Avalon as well as the entire island. Energy facilities, including existing and
experimental, shall expand at Pebbly Beach to the maximum extent feasible before
being established elsewhere on the island. Any expansion of the existing electrical
generation plant or construction of a new plant shall be consistent with applicable
air quality standards. (Ord. 89-0148 § 1 (part), 1989.)

22.46.900 Title for citation. The provisions of this Part 3 of Chapter 22.46
shall be known as, and may be cited as, the **Marina del Rey Specific Plan." (Ord.
95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22-234.63 supp. # 27, 11-95
22.46.1000
22.46.1000 Purpose. A. This SpeciHc Plan constitutes the primary implemen-
tation mechanism for the Marina del Rey Land Use Plan as certified by the Califor-
nia Coastal Commission in December, 1986 and subsequently amended. As certified
in 1995, the amended Land Use Plan includes only the existing Marina del Rey
(Map 1 and Exhibit 1). Area A is that portion of the remaining unincorporated
Coastal area outside the county-owned leaseholds of Marina del Rey. It has been
segmented from the Marina del Rey segment by the California Coastal Commission,
and requires separate action by the Commission before certification is granted. Area
A is not part of this Specific Plan.
B. The objectives of the Specific Plan are fourfold:
— First, the plan documents various development, preservation and recon-
struction strategies set forth in the certified Land Use Plan;
— Second, the plan establishes development standards and guidelines which
are the regulatory basis for future development, preservation and recon-
struction efforts in Marina del Rey;
— Third, the plan requires design concepts to guide reconstruction on
individual parcels, to aid in the development of vacant land and to help
preserve significant resources;
— Fourth, the plan establishes the governmental review process for new
development proposals in Marina del Rey and describes the long-term
implementation efforts necessary to accommodate future development.
C. The Specific Plan may be summarized as follows:
— Communitywide Plan and Design Standards. These standards consist of
area-wide design guidelines. Urban design, land use, circulation, parking,
access and infrastructure are discussed.
— Use Restrictions and Development Standards by Land Use Category.
These sections contain the uses allowed and the development standards
for each land use category in the Specific Plan. The use restrictions and
development standards are comparable in form and purpose to the section
of a zoning ordinance which detines uses allowed in a zone, development
standards, etc.
— Site-Specific Development Guidelines. The guidelines detail the develop-
ment potential, development considerations and required public improve-
ments for each parcel, organized geographically by planning unit. On
occasion, parcels are shown in more than one category, or several uses
may be permitted on a particular parcel.
— Coastal Improvement Fund. This section describes the basis and funding
mechanism for the Coastal Improvement Fund.
— Transportation Improvement Program. This section establishes a mecha-
nism for funding necessary transportation improvements and ensuring
their timely completion.

22.46.1010 Reserved. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 91-0004 § 1,
1991: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1020 Relationship to the Los Angeles County General Plan. A. The
Los Angeles County General Plan was adopted on November 25,1980. It consists
of those county wide chapters and elements mandated by the California Government
Code, as well as a series of communitywide plans which set forth more detailed
Snpp. # 27. 11-95 22-234.64
•
•
22.46.1020
growth and development policies for specific unincorporated communities.
B . The County wide General Plan establishes, in a broad perspective, future
land use, development and conservation policies for the Marina del Rey area. The
Plan further calls for the completion of the Marina Local Coastal Program (LCP),
consisting of both a Land Use Plan and Local Implementation Program. The Marina
LCP is integrated with the General Plan as a component of the County wide Coastal
Element.
C. The Marina del Rey Land Use Plan was approved by the Los Angeles
County board of supervisors on September 13, 1984, and was subsequently certitied
by the California Coastal Commission on October 11, 1984. The Plan was recerti-
fied in December, 1986, after Areas B and C were annexed by the city of Los
Angeles. It now serves as the community plan for the Marina del Rey area. This
Plan constitutes a refinement of General Plan Policy and provides a basis for its
implementation.
D. This Specific Plan is a key component of the Local Implementation
Program for Marina del Rey. It is designed to implement the Marina del Rey Land
Use Plan through the application of site-specific development standards and
guidelines. The Specific Plan constitutes the most detailed interpretation of General
Plan Policy. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1030 Relationship to the Los Angeles County Land Use Regulations.
A. Where provisions of this Specific Plan are in conflict with other provisions of
this Title 22, this Specific Plan shall prevail. For matters on which this Specific
Plan is silent, other applicable provisions of Title 22 shall control.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.46.030 of this Title 22,
amendments to the County Code that affect sections cited in this Specific Plan shall
not apply to this Specific Plan until certified as amendments to the LCP by the
California Coastal Commission. Until such changes are certified, only the versions
of the County Code previously certified by the Commission shall apply.
C. Regulation of development in Marina del Rey will be accomplished by
zoning the entire Marina as Specific Plan (SP), shown on Map 1. Development in
the SP Zone will be guided by the certified Land Use Plan, as implemented by the
land use categories and parcel-specific development standards and guidelines in the
Marina del Rey Specific Plan. One zoning document, the Specific Plan, will be
referred to for all land use regulations and development standards for each parcel
in Marina del Rey.
D. Height and land use limitations found on pages 16 through 26 of the
Specifications and Minimum Standards of Architectural Treatment and Construction
(see Appendix C of this Specific Plan) shall not apply to new development approved
under this LCP. Amendments to the Specifications and Minimum Standards of
Architectural Treatment and Construction (hereafter known as the Manual of
Architectural Standards) shall not apply to this Specific Plan until certified as an
amendment to the LCP. Until such changes are certified, only the version of the
Manual of Architectural Standards (October, 1989) in effect at the time of adoption
of this Specific Plan, other than the above-identified height and land use limitations,
shall apply. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22.46.1040 Urban design concept. The urban design concept for Marina del
Rey embodies a three-dimensional option that will give the study area a strong,
definitive physical image and identity. Key features of the urban design concept
22-234.65 Supp. # 27. 11-95
22.46.1040
include:
— A modified *'bowl concepr consisting of a skyline of taller buildings
around the outer and northern edges of the Marina, with lower buildings
on the moles. The concept will enhance the image of the Marina and will
ensure adequate sunlight and wind circulation over the water basin;
— A framework of "community identity elements" to provide a sense of
place and establish the character of the area. Such identity elements
serve to orient Marina visitors and provide a logical, coherent, unified
network of movement, land use and activity;
— Design guidelines to coordinate the visual character of the Marina
through the application of Marina- wide guidelines pertaining to landscap-
ing, hardscape and street furniture, signs, quality site design and archi-
tectural treatment.
— View corridors to maintain and enhance public views of the harbor are
a priority of this plan. Enhancing the ability of the public to experience
and view the Marina waters shall be implemented by requiring view
corridors in the design of all new or renovated development. This goal
shall be achieved by placing conditions on permits for new development
to enhance public viewing, to allow for greater public access, and to
create view corridors to and along the waterfront.
(Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § l(part), 1990.)
22.4^.1050 CommuDity identity elements. A. The identity and image of an
area is established by many elements, including buildings, landscaping, signs and
in the case of the Marina, by its water-related activities. Except for its
marine-oriented activities, the Marina does not have a strong image or identity.
Some of the physical elements in the Marina area such as fences, gates and signs
inadvertently discourage public use and access. The prospect of reconstruction on
certain moles, however, brings the potential for establishing a more unified visual
environment and identity in Marina del Rey.
B. Key community identity elements include:
— Marina Gateways and Entrances. These important entry points into the
existing Marina from Lincoln, Culver Boulevard and Washington Street
are where most people get their first orientation to the area. A combina-
tion of landscaping, signs and lighting orients motorists, bicycle riders
and pedestrians to the Marina and specific destinations within it;
— The Parkway Edge. This is a heavily landscaped strip around the edge
of the Marina to the north jetty of the Main Channel which creates a
strong identity for the Marina;
— The Loop Road. Most allowable new high-rise and midrise development
will be along Admiralty Way and Via Marina. This loop road has its own
landscaped character, with signs, lighting, the pedestrian promenade and
bicycle trail;
— Mole Roads and Intersections. Mole roads and intersections have special
identity features, including signs identifying visitor-serving facilities or
other attractions on each mole;
— Pedestrian Walkways and Bicycle Trails. The walkways and bicycle trails
are a primary means for access to activities in the Marina. Design of
these elements with safety and compatibility in mind is of utmost
supp. # 27. 11-95 22-234.66
22.46.1050
importance in facilitating public use and enjoyment of the Marina. All
walkways must be accessible to the physically impaired. Outdoor eating
patios are encouraged along the bicycle and pedestrian trails;
— View Areas. A view area shall be defined as a point for observation of
boats, docks, Marina waters and regional surroundings. Facilities may
include benches and telescopes. Other park-like facilities are not standard
in view areas;
— View Corridors. A view corridor is an area located between the water
and the first public road open to the sky and allowing uninterrupted
views of the harbor from the road to the waterside, at ground level. The
corridor may be combined with fue roads and public accessways.
(Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.4^.1060 Communitjwide design guidelines. Communitywide design
guidelines concern several areas. These areas include landscaping, signs, site design
and architectural treatment. These guidelines are considered to be mandatory when
the word "shair is used and are permissive when the word "may** is used.
A. Landscaping. Landscaping shall include trees and shrubbery, with
adequate ground cover to protect the soil. Landscaped borders used to shield
obtrusive uses shall have a minimum width of eight feet and shall consist of
vegetation of sufficient density to hide the use. Landscaping along site perimeters
shall have a minimum width of eight feet and shall allow visual access into the lot,
except where the landscaping is being used to screen an obtrusive use. These
standards shall be implemented in a manner consistent with all other provisions of
the certified LCP to encourage unique site design.
B. Lot Coverage. Lot coverage by buildings, shall be limited as otherwise
restricted in the Speciflc Plan, and shall not exceed 90 percent of the net lot area;
a minimum of 10 percent of the net lot area shall be landscaped. Layout, compo-
nents and quantity of landscaping for development in the existing Marina shall be
subject to approval by the design control board.
C. Parking.
1. Parking standards in Marina del Rey shall be as set forth in Part
11, Chapter 22.52 and Appendix 3 of this Title 22.
2. Applicants for office and commercial development are required to
consult with the department of beaches and harbors to determine how to locate and
manage multiuse parking facilities. The director must find that the multiuse facilities
are consistent with the LCP, and that all uses will receive adequate parking. The
intent of multiuse, otherwise known as dual or shared use, parking is to provide
additional parking for shoreline access and recreational uses during peak visitation
periods which coincide with nonpeak office/commercial working hours. All calcula-
tions for shared parking demand shall provide spaces for public access parking.
Procedures for multiuse parking, deviation from the aforementioned parking
requirements, including provisions for off-site parking, or any other parking
variance shall be as set forth in Part 7 of Chapter 22.56 of this Title 22.
3. Development on the land side of parcels on which the water side
has been identifled for additional slips under the ^'funnel concept*" shall be evaluated
with respect to the parking needs of the future slips. Land-side development shall
not preclude provision of parking for the future slips called out in this Specific
Plan. Projects which include the development of parking garages or increased lot
coverage shall provide the spaces for the slips as part of the development project.

22.46.1060
D. Signs.
1 . Signs shall be as detailed as possible without becoming unreadable.
The design control board specifically regulates signs in the existing Marina through
the application of standards set forth in the Board's Revised Permanent Sign
Controls and Regulations, a section of the Manual for Architectural Standards,

2. Signs shall also be regulated by the provisions of Part 10 of Chapter
22.52 of this Title 22 and the design control board's Revised Permanent Sign
Controls and Regulations of September 16, 1971 (Appendix C). In the event of a
conflict between Uie design control board's requirements and Title 22, the most
restrictive standard shall prevail. Each land use category set out in this SpeciHc Plan
shall be subject to the sign standards for a comparable zone designated in Section
22.12.010 of this Title 22. Comparable zones shall be assigned according to the

£. Site Design and Architectural Treatment. Site design and architectural
treatment include such elements as structural height, bulk, spacing, facade design,
materials and colors.
1. Site Design. Planes of the exterior building walls should vary in
depth and/or direction to avoid bulk and monotony, and should relate closely to the
pedestrian promenade. Building placement and design shall avoid long, continuous
blocking of water views.
2. View Corridor Requirements. Parcels located between the water and
the first public road shall provide a view corridor allowing uninterrupted views of
the harbor from the road to the waterside, at ground level. The design, location and
feasibility of view corridors shall be determined by the director and shall be based
on the distance from the first public road to the bulkhead, the parcel's land use
category, configuration and the intensity of development allowed by the Specific
Plan.
a. Where a view corridor is physically feasible, the optimum
width of such a view corridor shall be a minimum of 20 percent of the water
frontage of the site.
Snpp. # 27, 11-95 22-234.68
22.46.1060
b. Where the director finds an alternate method for providing
a view corridor, the director may apply credit toward the view corridor percentage
standards.
c. Where the director finds that a view corridor cannot be
physically located anywhere on the parcel to provide a view of the harbor from the
road, the director may waive the requirement.
3. View Corridor Standards. View corridors shall be maintained so
as to provide an unobstructed view of the bulkhead edge, masts and horizon for
pedestrians and passing motorists. Unobstructed views are defined as views with
no inhibition of visual access to the water. Parking lots may foe depressed below
grade such that views are possible over parked vehicles; the Director shall determine
whether a parking lot designed as such warrants credit toward the view corridor
requirement. A depression of two feet below grade shall be the minimum considered
for view corridor credit through a parking lot. Additionally, landscaping shall be
placed and maintained so as not to obstruct water views. Where the director finds
that such combination is appropriate, view corridors shall be combined with vertical
accessways.
4. Architectural Treatment. Among other important objectives, good
site design is essential in maintaining compatibility among adjacent land uses and
preserving important public amenities such as view corridors and scenic vistas.
Balconies, terraces and patios are encouraged. Outdoor dining facilities which do
not interfere with public accessways are also encouraged to take advantage of water
views and scenic vistas throughout Marina del Rey in those areas where restaurants
are allowed by this Specific Plan; such facilities shall comply with the public view
and public access provisions of this Specific Plan and the provisions of subsection
G of Section 22.28.070. Specific design review within the existing Marina is the
responsibility of the design control board's Statement of Aims and Policies, dated
February 17, 1987 found in Appendix C of the Certified LIP.
5 . Building Height Standards. Unique site design with respect to height
and setbacks is^encouraged on all parcels in Marina del Rey. Heights shall be
limited accordiiig^to the following standards; the development standards of each land
use category and the Site-Specific Development Guidelines. Where the land use
category height standards found in Section 22.46.1690 differ from the site-specific
standards found in Sections 22.46.1790 through 22.46.1940, such site-specific
standards noted in the applicable portion of Sections 22.46. 1200 through 22.46. 1690
shall control. Maximum heights may be reduced during the coastal development
permit process to preserve public recreation, solar access to the beaches, parks and
boat basins and wind for sailing or as otherwise required in all other policies of the
certified Land Use Plan and this Specific Plan. In certain categories, the maximum
height permitted is dependent on the size of the view corridor provided. Building
heights in the Marina shall be restricted according to the following seven categories;
a. Category 1; one story, 25 feet maximum;
b. Category 2: 45 feet maximum;
c. Category 3: 45 feet maximum when a 20 percent view corridor
is provided ranging to 75 feet maximum when a 40 percent view corridor is
provided. Height above 45 feet shall be permitted at the ratio of 1.5 feet in height
for every one percent view corridor exceeding the 20 percent;
d. Category 4; 140 feet maximum;
e. Category 5; 140 feet maximum when a 20 percent view
corridor is provided ranging to 225 feet maximum when a 40 percent view corridor
22-234.69 supp. # 27. 11-95
22.46.1060
is provided. Height above 140 feet shall be permitted at the ratio of 4.25 feet in
height for every one percent view corridor exceeding the 20 percent standard;
f. Category 6: 225 feet maximum;
g. Category 7: other site-specitic maximums;
6. Community wide design guidelines are established and administered
by the design control board of the department of beaches and harbors. The design
control board shall continue to review architectural designs and site plans for
development projects in the existing Marina.
F. Fire Safety Standards. The following standards shall apply to all new
development and renovation or expansion of existing development, where ^plicable.
1. Sprinklers. All new development shall be required to provide fire
sprinklers consistent with the specifications of the fire department. Further, remodel-
ing or expansion projects involving 50 percent or more of the existing floor area
of said project shall be subject to review by the fire department for sprinkler
requirements.
2. Multistory Buildings. Where a new building exceeds three stories
or 35 feet in height, the following site design standards shall apply:
a. Emergency access (or clear zones) on the lateral sides of all
multistory buildings shall be required to be a width of 28 feet, subject to fire
department determination. A lesser width may be approved where the Fire Depart-
ment finds such width provides sufficient emergency access; a greater width may
be approved where the fire department finds such width to be necessary for the
provision of adequate emergency access. This emergency access requirement may
concurrently apply to 20-foot-wide pedestrian promenades consistent with subsection
(F)(2)(b) of this section. Where a building is not more than 10 feet from the edge
of a road, the roadway may serve as the required access area for that side of the
building. Clear zones provided on the sides of buildings may count toward any
linear view corridor requirements for buildings located between the first public road
and the sea; and
b. The pedestrian promenade and fire department access road
may be used for dual functions provided that the fire department maintains unimped-
ed access on no less than 20 feet of all pedestrian promenades at all times. These
promenades shall be no less than 28 feet wide to allow benches, trash containers,
shade structures and other pedestrian amenities on the seawardmost eight feet of
the promenade. The remainder of the promenade shall conform to fire access road
requirements and shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide clear to the sky, with no
benches, planters or fixed objects. As an alternate configuration, the director, in
conjunction with the fire department, may approve a 20-foot-wide clear pedestri-
an/fire access road with a series of 10-foot- wide improved viewpoints no less than
150 feet s^art. These viewpoints shall be located adjacent to the bulkhead line. In
either configuration, turn radii shall be approved by the fire department.
G. Residential Mitigation requirements.
1. New residential development shall provide compensatory recreation-
al facilities to offset local residential uses of existing Marina park and recreational
facilities. Where feasible, such facilities, as identified in subsection (G)(3) of this
section, shall be provided on-site as a means of meeting this requirement. Alterna-
tively, where an applicant demonstrates that it is not feasible to locate all, or only
a portion of recreational facilities on-site, then the applicant shall contribute, on
a fair and equitable basis, to a coastal improvement fund. Senior congregate care
housing is exempt from this requirement.
Snpp. # 27. 11.95 22-234.70
22.46.1060
2. Residential Mitigation Standard. The public park land area require-
ment shall be based upon providing three acres of public park land for every 1,000
new residents, or portion thereof. Alternatively, a mitigation fee may satisfy the
requirement. The fee shall be based upon the estimated cost of improving an
equivalent amount of public park land on a public parcel within the Marina. An
applicant may choose to meet the requirement by providing a combination of land
area and fee.
3>. Mitigation Credit. On-site land area credits toward this requirement
shall be given for the following facilities: clearly defined and exclusively reserved
internal land area devoted to private recreation of the residents, public park land,
that portion of the pedestrian promenade or view corridor not designated as a fire
access road, and viewing parks at the end of the mole roads, or adjacent to the main
channel. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part). 1990.)
22.46.1070 Variance procedures. Variances from the development standards
contained in this Specific Plan may be applied for pursuant to the provisions of Part
2 of Chapter 22.56. In addition to the burden of proof contained in Section
22.56.290 of said Part 2, the applicant shall also prove:
A. That the variance is consistent with the Local Coastal Program including
the land use category of the Specific Plan and the public access and recreation
policies of the Coastal Act; and
B. That there would be no adverse impact on the environment. (Ord. 95-
0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1080 Land Use Plan. The type, intensity and distribution of existing
and future land uses within Marina del Rey are shown on the Specific Plan Land
Use Map (see Exhibit 2 set out at the end of this Part 3). The land use categories
delineated include:
— Residential III: Medium density, up to 35 dwelling units per net acre;
— Residential IV: Medium-high density, up to 45 dwelling units per net
acre;
— Residential V: High-density, up to 75 dwelling units per net acre;
— Hotel: Hotels, motels and youth hostels to provide overnight accommo-
dations and attendant services for visitors to the Marina and nearby
beaches;
— Visitor-Serving/Convenience Commercial: Dining facilities, retail and
personal services for visitors to the Marina and nearby beaches, as well
as residents and employees of Marina del Rey;
— Offices: General offices, professional offices and financial institutions;
— Marine Commercial: Coastal-related or coastal-dependent uses associated
with operation, sales storage and repair of boats and marine support
facilities including wet slips, boating schools, dry storage and launch
- facilities, boat repair yards, yacht brok^ages and marine associated retail
and office uses;
— Boat Storage: Storage of boats in wet slips, dry storage, boat repair,
ancillary retail uses;
— Parking: Parking lots and structures open to the public, in most cases
multiuse and fee-charging. Multiuse includes commercial and office
parking lots made available during nonbusiness hours, and also land-
scaped park areas improved to be also usable for parking during those
22-234.71 supp.#27.i].95
22-46.1080
weekends when parking demand for the Marina is at its peak;
— Public Facilities: Public infrastructural land uses other than roads,
including libraries, harbor administration, public utilities, police and fire
facilities;
— Open Space: Recreational uses including open viewing areas, prome-
nades, bikeways, beaches, parks and water bodies for recreational use;
— Water: A category for recreational use, docking .and fueling of boats,
flood control and light marine commercial;
— Mixed Use Overlay Zone: An overlay category applied to selected
parcels in addition to the site's primary land use category. Permits the
combination of above land use categories on a parcel and mixing of uses
within a structure;
— Waterfront Overlay Zone: An overlay category applied to most water-
front parcels in addition to the site's primary land use category. Encour-
ages coastal-oriented and coastal-dependent uses on the waterfront,
permits the combination of Hotel, Visitor-Serving Conve-
nience/Commercial, Marine Commercial and the site's primary land use,
as well as mixing of uses within a structure.
(Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1090 Land use monitoring and phasing. A. The monitoring program
implements the development limitations and phasing policies as established by the
certified Marina del Rey Land Use Plan. Cumulative development and peak hour
trips will be monitored and totaled for each development zone as projects are
approved.
B. Development in the existing Marina is classifred as Phase II* (see Table
1 set out at the end of this Part 3). All new development in the existing Marina will
be subject xo the buildout limitations of each development zone, phasing restrictions,
land use category and the site-specific standards of this Specific Plan.
C. Development Limitations and Phasing. Specific monitoring criteria for
development phasing are described as follows:
1 . Development Monitoring. Additional development is limited to the
buildout identified in Table 1 for each development zone. Development shall not
be approved that will exceed the capacity of the regional, local or development zone
street system. The total potential for additional units and amount of commercial and
residential development allocated under this LCP will generate a traffic impact
within the Marina del Rey that can be mitigated within the Marina by the improve-
ments listed in the traffic improvements plan which is part of the Local Implementa-
tion Program. Monitoring will be based on the type and density of development.
Except for Parcel 9 of Development Zone 2 (Tahiti Development Zone), all
development in Zones 1 through 12 will involve redevelopment of existing devel-
oped lots. A parcel may apply for development contained within the development
zone where the parcel resides; the development applied for must be consistent with
the land use category, overlay zone (if any) and site-specific standards of the parcel.
Development will be monitored by zone such that after a redevelopment project
receives approval, the additional development granted as part of the approval over
and above the level of existing development on the site, shall be deducted from the
development available in the parcel's zone. The balance will be the development
available for future redevelopment projects in the zone. A zero development balance
in a zone indicates that additional development has been exhausted in that zone;
supp.# 27. 11-95 22-234.72
22.46.1090
future development in the zone at that time is limited to recycling of uses with no
expansions or increased trip generation.
2. Residential Development. As residential development occurs, the
total number of dwelling units shall be monitored and the net increase in any
development zone shall not exceed the number of residential units allocated to that
zone, less the number of units converted to a visitor-serving or coastal-oriented use,
if any. Residential densities on mixed use parcels, where the floor area of the
nonresidential use exceeds 10 percent of the total floor area, shall be Hgured using
only the residential buildable area, not the buildable area for the entire parcel. The
buildable area for the entire parcel may be used in residential density calculations
where the floor area of the nonresidential use is 10 percent or less of the total floor
area. The residential buildable area shall be determined by taking the parcel's
buildable area, less the area devoted to all other land uses. Existing boat storage,
public access, public parking and boating support uses in residentially zoned areas
in the WOZ zone shall be preserved. With the exception of facilities located on
Parcels 1, 54, 55 and 56, as part of the application, these uses may be relocated on
the same parcel or to another parcel within the Marina, as long as the size, efficien-
cy and capacity of the facility remains the same and such relocations occur prior
to any dislocating development. The trips generated by such a use shall not be
considered as additional development when calculating allowable new trips in the
WOZ zone.
Subject to these limitations, residential projects in the Waterfront Overlay
Zone may use land area devoted to visitor-serving, marine commercial and other
coastal-oriented uses in calculating the residential buildable area. In mixed-use
developments involving several uses on different floors in a building, the residential
area shall be determined on an overall percentage basis. Density may be transferred
from one parcel to another as long as the parcels are adjacent, in the same develop-
ment zone, under the same ownership, designated with the same land use category
and consistent with the buildout allocations of each applicable development zone.
3. Improvement Phasing. In recognition of the need for expanded
transportation facilities generated by cumulative development in Marina del Rey,
approval of development projects in existing Marina will be contingent upon the
full mitigation of all significant daily and peak-hour adverse traffic impacts
generated, and financing and phasing agreements as specified in the Improvement
Financing the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) contained in Appendix
G. Said agreements will be dependent upon the number of additional p.m. peak-hour
trips generated by the project and the established cost per trip.
4. Applicants for all development shall demonstrate that there will be
sufficient traffic capacity in both the Marina del Rey internal system and the
subregional highway system serving the Marina to accommodate the traffic generat-
ed by the planned development. If the applicant cannot demonstrate that there is
adequate traffic capacity to accommodate the traffic generated by the proposed
additional development, the application shall be denied, as set forth below:
a. If the developer has demonstrated that there will be available
traffic capacity within the internal Marina del Rey system, the developer may move
forward with the project, but all significant adverse traffic impacts of development
on both internal Marina del Rey routes shall be mitigated by (1) payment of a
proportional fair share of necessary internal traffic improvements before a coastal
development permit for the development is issued, and (2) construction of all
necessary internal Marina del Rey improvements prior to occupancy of any approved
22-234.73 supp. # 27. 1 1-95
22.46.1090
structures.
b. As part of the application for development, applicants shall
also provide evidence of the cumulative impacts of any proposed project on major
state highways and routes leading to the coast in the Marina area, and provide
information regarding the cs^jacity of such routes, and the cumulative total of new
trips generated within the Marina that routinely use these Marina approach roads.
Where any significant adverse cumulative traffic impacts on subregional traffic
routes will occur, the applicant shall (1) pay a proportional fair share of necessary
subregional traffic improvements, and (2) provide information concerning the timing
and capacity of planned traffic improvements which will accommodate local growth
including that attributed to the development. However, if the trips generated by the
development along with other previously approved development will exceed SO
percent of the total anticipated additional external trips to be generated by new or
intensified Marina del Rey development, additional development that generates
external trips cannot occur until a traffic improvement on the approach roads that
will mitigate those trips has been approved and funded by the appropriate agencies.
5. Recycling of Parcels. Parcels in the existing Marina may recycle
existing uses, where allowed by the Specific Plan, as long as there is no net increase
in vehicle trips generated by the parcel. For purposes of this section, "recycling^
is defined as the renovation, demolition or removal of existing structures and the
subsequent reconstruction, construction or replacement of new structures consistent
with the other requirements of this section. Recycling of parcels which does not
involve a net increase in vehicle trips is development, but is not dependent on the
phasing program described in subsection 4 of this section. No change of use or
Phase II development will be allowed under this scheme.
6. Conversion.
a. Waterfront Overlay Zone. Existing and allocated residential
and office development in Development Zones with the Waterfront Overlay may
be converted to visitor-serving, hotel, open space, marine commercial or other
coastal-oriented development. Boat storage, public access, public parking and
boating support uses, including boater parking, shall be preserved, but as part of
an application, these uses may be relocated on the same parcel or to another parcel
within the Marina, as long as the size, ability to carry out the purpose of the
facility, water access and capacity of the facility remains the same. Subject to these
limitations, existing and allocated visitor-serving, marine commercial and coastal-
oriented development may also be converted to other visitor-serving, marine
commercial and coastal-dependent uses. Conversion of development shall be
consistent with subsection (C)(6)(c) of this section.
b. Mixed Use Overlay Zone. Existing and allocated residential
and office development in Development Zones with the Mixed Use Overlay may
be converted to visitor-serving, marine commercial or other coastal-oriented
development. Conversion of allocated uses shall be limited to 10 percent of the
residential units or office square footage allocated in the zone where the conversion
occurs. Boat storage, public access, public parking and boating support uses shall
be preserved, but as part of an application, these uses may be relocated on the same
parcel or to another parcel within the Marina, as long as the size, ability to carry
out the use and capacity of the facility remains the same. Subject to these limita-
tions, existing visitor-serving, marine commercial and coastal-oriented development
may also be converted to other visitor-serving, marine commercial and coastal uses.
Conversion of development shall be consistent with subsection (C)(6)(c) of this
22.46.1090
section.
c. The conversion units shall be p.m. peak-hour trip generation
such that the number of p.m. peak-hour trips generated by the added development
of the recipient use does not exceed the p.m. peak-hour trip generation of the donor
use. Conversion of allocated development shall be monitored such that the develop-
ment converted is deducted from the zone balance for the donor use and added to
the zone balance for the recipient use. Conversion of existing development shall
be similarly monitored to ensure no increase in trip generation occurs as a result
of the conversion. Conversion is limited to development within a respective
Development Zone; conversion shall not be construed to allow transfer of develop-
ment between Development Zones.
d. The design control board shall review the site plans of
converted or mixed uses to assure that the design will enhance compatibility of the
uses with each other and with adjoining uses. The board shall consider massing,
public access and views, pedestrian and automobile traffic patterns, convenience
of loading and trash hauling and the separation of public and residential routes and
entrances of the building as they relate to the project's consistency with the LCP.
The design control board shall consider and adopt a written report and/or provide
marked plans to illustrate its conclusions relating to the project's consistency with
its guidelines and the LCP. Design changes necessary to assure compliance with
the access, visual quality, recreation and other policies of this LCP shall be
incorporated into the coastal development permit as conditions of development.
(Ord. 2001-0010 § 3, 2001; Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part),
1990.)
* Phase I constitutes the existing level of development. Phase II represents the redevelopment of the
Marina at greater densities; the numbers noted represent the additional residential units and other
new development within each development zone.
The changes made to Table 1 by Ordinance 2001-0010 shall not take effect until Local Coastal
Program Amendment Case No. 98-172-(4) has been certified by the California Coastal Commission
pursuant to the provisions of the California Coastal Act of 1976, as amended to date.
22.46.1100 Circulation system. A. The circulation system is the single most
important infrastructure component in the Specific Plan Area. It is comprised of
the following:
— Region-serving transportation facilities;
— Local roadway system (Exhibit 3 — Regional Circulation System Map);
— Local and regional bikeway network;
— Pedestrian promenades and walkways;
— Local and regional public transit services.
B. Important components of the circulation system are the Transportation
Systems Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
programs which maximize system operating efHciency and thereby enhance access
to and travel within the Marina area. Transportation Systems Management and TDM
are discussed in detail in the Transportation Improvement Program, found in
Appendix G.
1. Roadway System. Special roadway sections are anticipated to
accommodate bikeways, nonvehicular circulation components and landscaped areas.
22-234.75 Supp. # 48, 5-01
22.46.1100
2. Pedestrian and Bicycle System.
a. The pedestrian and bicycle system is an important component
of the overall circulation system. The pedestrian promenade and bicycle path
enhance shoreline access and implement a number of policies in the land use plan.
The pedestrian promenade is illustrated on the Existing Shoreline Access Map (Map
2) (see Map 2, set out at the end of this Part 3).
b. Pedestrian system physical features include:
— Identiflcation striping, markers and signs;
— Lighting;
— Smooth, continuous paving (handicap accessible);
— Directories, benches and drinking fountains.
c. Bicycle system features include:
— Connections to the South Bay Regional Bikeway;
— Access around the entire Marina area, to all land uses, includ-
ing visitor-serving facilities and beaches;
— Identification striping, markers and signs;
— Smooth, continuous paving;
— Directories, bike racks, benches, drinking fountains, storage
lockers at all land uses;
— Connections to other travel modes (bus stops, park and ride,
transit stations, bus transportability).
d. The bicycle system should maximize access without compro-
mising safety. Separate right-of-way, minimizing driveways that interfere with the
route and compatible intersection design are all necessary for ensuring a safe bicycle
system.
C. Proposed Circulation Improvements.
1 . The circulation system improvements contemplated in this LCP are
divided into categories, dependent upon funding status, priority, and phasing; the
improvement categories are detailed in the TIP. Improvement of Admiralty Way
to include three lanes in the northbound/westbound direction and two lanes in the
opposing direction (to result in Hve lanes total) constitutes a major circulation
system improvement identified in the TIP. Additionally, improvements to other
Marina intersections and the implementation of Automated Traffic Surveillance and
Control (ATS AC) or related advanced signal synchronization technology will occur.
These improvements are expected to provide sufflcient capacity within Marina del
Rey to accommodate future development as envisioned by this Specific Plan.
The Transportation Improvement Program discusses the transportation system
improvements in great detail; it also includes language requiring agreements with
the county for funding and construction of roadway improvements prior to approval
of new development.
2. Implementation of a shuttle bus system and water taxi service would
enhance public access to the Marina area and reduce impacts of residential,
commercial and hotel development on access facilities, including impacts on both
marina facilities and nearby beaches attributable to the growing Marina/Playa Vista
population. The Marina del Rey Traffic Study (1991) suggested that a shuttle system
would be most efficient and cost-effective if implemented in conjunction with a
light rail transit system. A shuttle system is not required for traffic mitigation but
can be established in conjunction with developments in and around the Marina. As
a condition of recycling or development of new residential, hotel or commercial
development accommodating more than 75 cars, shuttle stops shall be incorporated
supp. # 48, 5-01 22-234.76
22.46.1100
into project designs. As part of any lease extension, lessees shall agree to pay their
fair and reasonable share of implementing the shuttle system at such time a system
is established in adjoining county areas, as long as such share is reasonably related
to the impacts of their proposed development upon the nearby beach parking and
recreational traffic system. Additionally, potential exists for construction of water
taxi stops and ferry terminal sites at various sites on the Marina waterfront.

3 . Los Angeles County spearheaded creation of a Venice/Marina/Playa
Vista Transportation Committee to study and recommend additional circulation
system improvements necessary to mitigate cumulative development in the subre-
gion. The work of this committee is ongoing and may not see completion for a few
years. The county reserves the right to require mitigation measures recommended
by the committee as conditions of development. Potential cumulative improvements
are also identified as Category 3 in the Transportation Improvement I^ogram. No
development shall be contingent on improvements that must occur outside the
county jurisdiction until such improvements have been adopted, cost estimates
prepared and the routes chosen by the agencies which have jurisdiction over the
route. Any required mitigation of cumulative impacts may constitute contribution
of a fair percentage share of traffic increases toward the total cost of completing
the mitigation measure(s), based on the applicant's share of traffic increases in the
subregional system. Hie county's ability to require such mitigation as a condition
of development is contingent upon demonstration of a nexus between the proposed
development's impact and the mitigation measure required, and that the required
mitigation compensates for the impact warranting such mitigation. (Ord. 95-0042
§ 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 91-0004 § 2, 1991; Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1110 Review of new development. All development in Marina del Rey
shall require a coastal development permit, processed in accordance with Part 17
of Chapter 22.56 of this Title 22. Development shall be approved if a finding is
made that the development conforms to the certified LCP, and for projects between
the first public road and the sea, also conforms to the access and recreation policies
of the California Coastal Act.
A. Development in Marina del Rey shall be assessed during the coastal
development review process to identify the development's impacts and needs
associated with the public's right to recreational access to and along the waterfront.
The conditions imposed by the county upon such developments shall reasonably
relate to the impacts and needs of the affected development and related develop-
ment. The conditions shall be those which are necessary to alleviate all significant
adverse direct and cumulative impacts including those needs identified in the
development assessment process. Therefore, the provisions in the Specific Plan
relating to compulsory dedication of shoreline access shall be implemented on a
case-by-case basis, and appropriate findings supported by substantial evidence shall
be adopted by the local agency to support such conditions. The conditions shall
substantially advance a legitimate state interest, without denying a lessee or owner
economically viable use of the land.
B. In Marina del Rey, all land is owned by the county of Los Angeles and
all leaseholders hold leases subject to an obligation to provide for active public use,
and maximum public enjoyment of the public recreational land. Private rights have
been granted by contracts, which in some cases limit public use of the parcels.
Existing public accessways are identified in Existing Shoreline Access Map (Map
2) of this Specific Plan (see Map 2 at the end of Part 3 of this chapter), and it is
the policy of the county that all development preserve existing access to the Marina,
to its bulkhead walkways and to its waters. Where development will increase the
numbers of residents or guests on the parcel, this Specific Plan identifies additional
bulkhead access and identifies that a public access corridor or other public accom-
modations in that location would benefit the public, said additional access, including
vertical access, shall be guaranteed by the leaseholder of that parcel pursuant to

rate and be consistent with all requirements of this Specific Plan, including, but not
limited to public access, view corridors, parking, impact fees, maintenance of view
corridors and parks, protection of existing uses and design review. (Ord. 95-0042
§ 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1120 Access — Findings. In order to make the appropriate Hndings
to impose vertical or lateral access requirements, the county shall:
A. Base all findings on factual evidence obtained at the public hearing,
submitted by the applicant or interested parties, or discovered during the staffs
investigation;
B . Evaluate the individual and cumulative impacts of the proposed develop-
ment on public access and recreation opportunities;
C. Identify the access-related problems associated with the development;
D. Cite the specific Coastal Act provisions that are impacted by the
development;
£. Explain how the proposed conditions would solve the access problem
created by the development and are related in the nature and extent to the impacts
of the development on the public's right to access the Marina. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1
(part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1130 Access — Conditions. Where development is allowed by the
Specitic Plan, and access is required by the Site-Specific Development Guidelines
for the parcel or is found to be necessary to provide access to and along the water,
a condition requiring said access will be imposed with a coastal development permit
if appropriate Hndings supporting the nature and extent of such access conditions
have been made. Other open space or public access improvements required to ensure
compliance with this Specific Plan shall also be made conditions of the project.
(Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1140 Methods of securing access. The condition requiring lateral or
vertical access shall specify that such access be secured by either of the following:
A. The landowner shall execute and record a document, in a form and
content acceptable to the Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission,
irrevocably offering to dedicate to a public agency or private association approved
by the Executive Director an easement for lateral public access and passive
recreation along the shoreline or for vertical access to the shoreline. The document
shall provide that the offer of dedication shall not be used or construed to allow
anyone, prior to acceptance of the offer, to interfere with any rights of public access
acquired through use which may exist on the property. Such document shall state
the precise location and width of the easement. The document shall be recorded free
of prior liens which the Executive Director determines may affect the interest being
conveyed, and free of any other encumbrances which may affect said interest. The
offer shall run with the land in favor of the people of the state of California,
binding successors and assignees of the landowner, and shall be irrevocable for a
period of 21 years, such period running from the date of recording.
B . Lease Provisions. Lease provisions shall explicitly require provisions for
access for the general public including promenades, view and open space areas, and
supp. # 27. 11-95 22-234.78
•
22.46.1140
access corridors consistent with the requirements of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act
and the certified LCP.
C. When no changed lease provision is required, an alternate method
approved by the planning director, county counsel and the California Coastal
Commission which would provide a similar guarantee of public access as afforded
by the irrevocable offer described in subsection A of this section. Such method may
be a binding agreement with the underlying leaseholder or property owner and shall
be effective for the life of the use for which the access is required. In no event shall
any party withhold its approval to feasible alternate methods. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1
(part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1150; Shoreline accesswajs. The following provisions pertain to
shoreline accessways which are dedicated or otherwise guaranteed in conformance
with the requirements of this Specific Plan and for which a public agency or private
association, approved by the Executive Director, has accepted the responsibility for
construction, maintenance and liability of said accessways:
A. Vertical access easements shall be combined with the fire department
required vertical access and shall be at least 28 feet in width and shall run from
the shoreline to the nearest roadway available for public use. Lateral access
easements shall extend as required for the individual parcel in this SpeciOc Plan.
No development shall reduce existing access, formal or informal.
B. Leaseholds developed with access easements shall provide, where
feasible, for public recreation, public open space and improved public seating and
viewing areas.
C. Access easements shall be posted with identification signs located at the
junction of the vertical easement with the shoreline and the connecting roadway and
along the inland extent of lateral easements. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord.
90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1160 Access restrictions. A. Public access may be restricted in certain
locations around the Marina, such as in front of the sheriff's station and near launch
hoists, in the interest of pedestrian safety. Necessary restrictions and management
may consist of, but are not limited to, the following:
— Construction of fences, guard rails or other barriers to prevent the public
from entering areas where hazardous activity is occurring;
— Limiting public access to certain hours of the day or days of the week
when hazardous activities are not in operation;
— Posting of warning signs which notify the public of potential safety
hazards;
— Relocation of the public access to ensure pedestrian safety.
B. Any restrictions deemed necessary by the authority supervising a site
determined to be hazardous shall be reviewed for incorporation into the conditions
of a coastal development permit for new development in these areas.
C. Where access standards of a different width or location are necessary
to avoid demolition of existing structures, to set access ways back from existing
development, or to avoid hoists and staging areas, the applicant may provide access
ways of a different width or location that are sensitive to the development if such
access provides continuous connection to other bulkhead access ways, as well as
maximum public benefit. In no event shall access provided be less than 10 feet in
width. (Ord. 95-0058 § 1, 1995: Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1

22.46.1170 Infrastructure. Beyond the circulation system, other major
infrastructure systems serving the Specific Plan Area include sewer, water, storm
drains and utilities.
A. Sewer. The county of Los Angeles maintains a contractual agreement
with the city of Los Angeles to provide sewer services for the Marina area. The
purchase of flow rights includes the use of the sewers and pumping system as well
as treatment at the Hyperion Plant near Imperial Highway. Maintenance of the
sanitary sewers within the Marina is the responsibility of the department of public
works, waterworks and sewer maintenance division. There is currently sufficient
sewage capacity to handle only a portion of the development permitted by this
Specific Plan.
Appropriate phasing of new development may be necessary because of capacity
limitations at the Hyperion Plant. Proof of adequate sewer and waste treatment
capacity for new development will be required per the provisions of subsection
(A)(14) of Section 22.46.1180.
B. Water. The Marina purchases its water from the Los Angeles County
Waterworks District No. 29. Current water supplies may be adequate for existing
and proposed developments in the existing Marina. As pan of the application for
development, the applicant shall provide evidence of compliance with all require-
ments of the department of public works, including payment of all required fees
and participation in all districts required at the time the application is filed. The
required improvements will be determined when applications for development or
subdivision are submitted to the department of regional planning and reviewed by
the department of public works and the fire department. The application for the
coastal development permit shall include a method of funding and schedule of
construction of any facilities required by the department of public works and/or the
fire department to serve the proposed development.
Water service may alternatively be provided by connection to facilities
operated and maintained by the city of Los Angeles, department of water and power.
Proof of adequate water capacity for new development will be required in subsection
(A)(14) of Section 22.46.1 180.
C. Storm Drains.
1 . The existing Marina is served by storm drains which deposit flows
into the Marina basin. The drains are expected to be adequate to accommodate
future development. To reduce the amount of pollutants entering the Marina from
Ballona Creek, the department of public works will implement appropriate best
management practices within the Ballona Creek watershed, as required by the county
NPDES municipal stormwater permit.
2. Unless otherwise required by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board and the County Flood Control District, the storm drain emptying into Basin
H will be capped and diverted into Ballona Creek or another area of the Marina.
D. Solid Waste. Lessees in the existing Marina contract with tive private
companies for solid waste disposal. These companies use existing commercial
landfills as available.
E. Utilities.
1. Electricity in the Marina area is provided by Southern California
Edison. The present substation, located on Fiji Way, can accommodate moderate
additional load. If development generates demand beyond capacity, a new substation
Sapp. # 28. 2-96 22-234.80
22.46.1170
will be required.
2. Natural gas for the Marina is supplied by the Gas Company.
22-234.80a supp. # 28. 2-96
22.46.1170
Supplies for existing and future development are expected to be adequate.
3. General Telephone and Electronics provides telephone service to
the Marina. Central office lines are currently in place to serve the area, and they
have sufficient capacity to serve future needs.
F. Fire Safety Services. A new fire station and support facilities may be
required in conjunction with development anticipated in this LCP. The size and
location of new fire facilities shall be determined after fire department study and
evaluation for optimal response and service. As part of the application for develop-
ment, the applicant shall provide evidence of compliance with all design require-
ments of the tire department and evidence of participation in any special district
established for fire protection. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1
(part), 1990.)
22.46.1180 Filing requirements. A. An application for new development
shall contain the following information. In the case of an application for a coastal
development permit, the information shall be in addition to the material required

ment with the number of proposed spaces, the number available during weekends
and holidays, and methods for control of the parking that would enhance public
access to bulkheads, walkways and commercial attractions. The results of the
consultation shall be submitted with the application.
9. Conformance with Phasing Plan. All new development must
conform to the phasing requirements set forth in the certified local coastal program.
Minimum phasing requirements are found in Section 22.46.1090 of this Specific
Plan. The developer must submit a report discussing how the development complies
with the phasing schedule of the certified Local Coastal Program. Such report shall
provide information on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips generated, hotel
rooms, dwelling units, parks and open space, etc. Where boat storage and marine
commercial uses (launches, hoists, etc.) are not feasibly expressed in terms of
square footage, the developer of such uses will be required to submit information
which will indicate the amount of additional peak-hour vehicle trips likely to be
generated by the project. Phasing includes development buildout, mitigation
measures, including internal traffic and recreation and circulation system improve-
ments and all other infrastructural improvements.
10. Direct Traffic Mitigation. All development shall mitigate all direct
impacts on the internal circulation system before occupancy of the development.
No development may commence without payment of a fair and proportionate share
of the costs of traffic improvements listed in the traffic improvement program. As
part of the application, all applicants shall provide evidence that it will be feasible
to complete all traffic improvements to mitigate the traffic impacts of the develop-
ment before occupancy of the permitted development. The applicant shall also
demonstrate that funding of the necessary traffic improvement has been guaranteed.
1 1 . Mitigation of Cumulative Impacts on the Subregional Traffic System
— Traffic Analysis and Mitigation Requirements. An applicant for development
shall provide the following information regarding the project's anticipated traffic
impacts on major highways leading into and around the Marina del Rey Specific
Plan area:
a. Exemptions Based on Initial Trip Evaluation. The applicant
shall submit an accurate and detailed project description with an initial estimate of
the number of the daily trips that will be generated by the project to the department
of public works. The applicant may, in lieu of preparing a traffic report, provide
evidence of participation in a subregional impact mitigation program, such as the
city of Los Angeles coastal corridor transportation fund, on a fair and equitable
basis, taking into account the applicant's contribution to the internal Marina street
improvements. Notwithstanding such contribution, a traffic report shall be required
of projects that generate over 500 trips per day unless other possible adverse
impacts are identified that, in the opinion of the department of public works, require
a report. Also, if a project generates 50 or more peak-hour trips on a congestion
management plan (CMP) intersection, or 150 peak-hour trips on a CMP route, a
separate analysis shall be prepared which addresses these impacts.
b. Traffic Study. A detailed traffic study shall be submitted at
the time of the application for the coastal development permit which addresses the
project's traffic impacts on various highway intersections that could experience
significant impact as described in subsection (A)(ll)(e) of this section, llie study
shall document: (1) the number of daily, weekend and a.m. and p.m. peak-hour trips
which would be generated by the project, (2) the number and percentage of those
trips originating and terminating outside the Marina del Rey Specific Plan area, (3)
Supp. # 27. 11-95 22-234.84
22.46.1180
the distribution of the trips upon departing the study area, (4) how much a specific
mitigation measure would reduce daily and peak-hour trips, and (5) such adctitional
information as the department of public works may require to properly evaluate the
project's proportionate traffic impacts on the study intersections. The study shall
compare levels of service for existing, ambient growth and with and without
construction of the project, and cumulative traffic impacts with other known
development.
c. Highway Intersections Required to be S tudied. The study area
shall include arterial highways, freeways and intersections generally within one-mile
radius of the project site. These shall include, at a minimum, the Washington
Street/Lincoln Boulevard intersections, and the Route 90/Lincoln Boulevard
intersections.
d. Consultation. The applicant shall consult with the department
of public works on the preparation of the traffic study. The department of public
works will coordinate with the city of Los Angeles department of transportation
(DOT), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), for their input
and requirements. The department of public works shall determine the types of
mitigation measures and traffic improvements most appropriate to the project.
e. Threshold. Cumulative subregional traffic system mitigation
measures are required if (1) an intersection is projected to operate at a mid-range
level of service D (or volume to capacity (V/C) ratio of 0.85) as a result of the
project's impacts, or (2) intersections within the project's area of influence are
already operating at a level of service above 0.85, and the project will result in a
projected increase of 0.01 above anticipated ambient conditions.
f . Recommendations on Mitigation Requirements. If the depart-
ment of public works determines that mitigation is required, the department, with
input from the city of Los Angeles department of transportation and Caltrans, shall
determine the type of mitigation measures most appropriate to the specific project.
The department shall specifically determine how much an appropriate or projected
mitigation measure would reduce the impacts of the project's daily and peak-hour
trips on the subregional transportation system, and shall submit a recommendation
on a preferred mitigation measure or mitigation requirement. If a **fair share amount
mitigation** is determined to be the £q)propriate mitigation measure, the department
of public works shall determine the applicant's proportionate fair share of the
project to which the mitigation will apply, and by consultation with the city of Los
Angeles department of transportation, determine the construction schedule of the
suggested improvement, and shall submit a recommendation on a preferred mitiga-
tion requirement. The types of mitigation measures available to satisfy these
requirements are listed in subsection (A)(l l)(g) of this section.
g. Traffic mitigation measures:
— Category 3 improvements listed in the transportation improvement
program, found in Appendix G to this Specific Plan;
— Reduction of traffic trips as may be accomplished through partici-
pation in transportation system management and transportation
demand management programs cited in Appendix G to this Specific
Plan;
— Reduction of traffic trips as may be accomplished through reduc-
tion in project size;
— Payment of an in lieu fee or "fair share" amount of a mitigation
project where a fair share amount of the mitigation requirement has
22-234.85 Supp. # 28. 2-96
22.46.1180
been detennined, the project has been scheduled for construction
and the cost and benefits of the project have been determined;
— Other mitigation measure(s) mutually acceptable to the department
of public works, the city department of transportation and Caltrans.
h. Timely Submittal of Required Studies and Evaluations. The
studies, analyses and evaluations required by this subsection 1 1 shall be completed
before filing a coastal development permit application with the department of
regional planning. If the applicant requests that the traffic study be evaluated during
the environmental review process, the applicant's coastal development permit shall
not be filed or accepted until such time as the traffic study has been completed to
the satisfaction of the department of public works.
12. Site Plan Review Within the Existing Marina. All applications for
development in the existing Marina shall include accurate, scaled site plans and
elevations, showing gross square footage of existing and proposed development,
parking, and parking requirements, as well as access and view corridors required
by this certified LCP. These site plans and elevations shall be signed and approved
by the design control board.
a. The design control board shall review the development for
conformance of the project with this Specific Plan and with the identity and
accessibility of the marina as a public boating and recreational facility. The board's
analysis shall address, at a minimum, public access, height, circulation, massing,
visual impact, views, and view corridors, compatibility of uses in a mixed use
project, and the visibility and convenience of public spaces as they pertain to the
policies of this LCP. The design control board shall adopt a written report and/or
exhibits describing their analysis and recommendations. The design control board,
as a condition of its approval, may require the applicant to return with final plans
for approval of signage, landscaping, color and other details.
b. Any applicant who is requesting a height incentive under the
provisions of subsection (E)(5) of Section 22.46.1060, or whose proposed develop-
ment includes demolition of existing structures or whose development is located

fire safety plan how they are complying with the requirements of subsection F of
Section 22.46.1060 and, for multistory buildings on mole roads, applicants shall
designate in their plan a safe refuge area for their occupants on an adjacent boat
dock area;
c. Applicants who choose to provide 10-foot by 10-foot squ^e
viewing nodes in place of an eight-foot-wide landscaped strip adjacent to the water
way, shall provide evidence that they have provided nodes no less than 150 feet
apart and that these nodes will not obstruct fire access.
16. Evidence of the protection of existing recreational uses, and of the
incorporation of lower cost overnight uses into any hotel project.
a. Applicants for office, general commercial, or residential use
shall provide evidence that existing boat storage, public access, public parking and
boating support uses, including boat owner parking and parking required for any
Marina expansion allowed in this LCP, in residentially and commercially designated
areas have been preserved consistent with all provisions of the certified LCP. As
part of any application to relocate these uses consistent with the certified LCP, the
^plicant shall provide a plan to relocate any such uses on the same parcel or to
another parcel within the Marina, such that the intended use can continue to be
carried out, the size and capacity of the accommodation remains the same, and
necessary access to the water and boat slips is provided. The uses shall be replaced
before commencement of the development project.
b. Applicants for a hotel use shall designate no less than 25
percent of the land area of the site proposed for new hotel development for a lower
cost overnight facility and provide plans and agree to construct Uie facility as part
of the project. Such area may be reduced if a facility containing one-tenth of the

on site. Such a facility may include a youth hostel, lower cost conference facility
with overnight accommodations, or campground.
i. Applicants for hotel or other overnight accommodations
shall indicate on their site plan the land to be reserved for a lower cost overnight
accommodation.
ii. In lieu fee option — supporting material required. If the
applicant believes that development of a lower cost facility on site is not feasible,
and petitions in writing to pay a fee in lieu of providing an on-site provision for
lower cost accommodation, the applicant shall provide evidence of the infeasibility
of on-site provision of a lower cost facility and information regarding the
applicant's calculation of the fair and reasonable share or the cost of acquisition
and construction of a lower cost overnight facility.
iii. Because of the fluctuating land market and cost of
materials, the applicant's demonstration shall include evidence concerning the
22-234.87 supp. # 28. 2-96
22.46.1180
current cost of off-site provision of lower cost accommodations, and the manner

to provide lower cost accommodations on-site in terms of affording access to the
Marina and nearby beaches. The calculation shall include the prorated cost of
necessary support, including parking, lobbies, sanitary facilities and food service
areas.
iv. The applicant shall contribute the one-tenth of the cost
of one bed and appurtenant improvements in a lower cost accommodation for each
market rate room provided, llie amount of the fee shall be adjusted annually to
reflect the consumer price index and current construction costs.
V. Exemption. If the applicant demonstrates that a proposed
hotel project of the same or lesser size on the same parcel paid said fee, or its
equivalent, within 20 years of the date of application, the applicant shall be exempt
from this obligation.
B. Any applicant who demonstrates that the impacts of his or her project
on winds, archaeological resources, marine resources, public works, or geologic
safety is not significant may not be required to submit the material required in
subsections (A)(2), (A)(3), (A)(4) or (A)(5) of this section, as part of the applica-
tion. The applicant must demonstrate how the proposed development is insigniticant
with regard to subsections (A)(2), (A)(3), (A)(4) or (A)(5) of this section and/or
how the nature of the development is unrelated to the requirement imposed, or how
the requirement has been previously addressed in a system-wide or area-wide
development plan review such as a subdivision. As part of such request, the
applicant shall agree to provide supplemental information in a timely manner if
additional information is necessary to review the impacts of the proposed develop-
ment on coastal access and/or resources. (Ord. 95-0058 § 2, 1995; Ord. 95-0042
§ 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1190 Conditions of approval. A. The following conditions shall be
imposed, where applicable, for development in Marina del Rey.
1. In accordance with the geologic information submitted with the
application for development, development shall occur in geologically safe areas.
Any structure affecting personal safety (e.g., gas lines) shall not transect geological-
ly unstable areas.
2. In accordance with the archaeology report submitted with the

supp. # 28. 2-96 22-234.88
•
22.46.1190
Code apply.
3. To fully mitigate traffic impacts, new developments are required
to establish a functional transportation systems management (TSM)/Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) program, or to participate in an existing TSM/PDM
program. Consolidation of numerous TSM/TDM programs is highly desirable.
Viable TSM/TDM possibilities include, but shall not be limited to:
— Carpools;
— Ridesharing;
— Vanpools;
— Modified work schedules/flex time;
— Increase use of bicycles for transportation;
— Bicycle racks, lockers at places of employment;
— Preferential parking for TSM/TDM participants;
— Incentives for TSM/TDM participants;
— Disincentives.
The TSM/TDM program should follow the guidelines in the Transportation Improve-
ment Program contained in Appendix G. An annual report on the effectiveness of
the TSM/TDM program shall be submitted to the department of regional planning.
4. All development must conform to the phasing schedules in the
certified LCP. The phasing schedules include requirements for the existing Marina,
circulation and public recreation improvements and infrastructure. No development
shall occur if traftic capacity within the system will not be adequate to serve the
development.
5. Mitigation of All Direct Traffic Impacts. All development in
existing Marina del Rey shall participate in, and contribute his or her fair share to,
funding of the mitigation measures described in the Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). The fees shall be calculated for every development project based
on tiie trip assessment fee set in the TIP and the number of additional p.m. peak-
hour trips generated by the project. Additional trips are defined as the p.m. peak-
hour trips attributable to buildout of the new development allocated in the Specific
Plan. All development shall mitigate all direct impacts on the internal circulation
system before occupancy of the development. No development may commence
without payment of a fair and proportionate share of the costs of traffic improve-
ments listed in the traffic improvement program. Prior to issuance of a coastal
development permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that adequate funding is
available so that all traffic improvements necessary to mitigate the impacts of the
development on internal circulation will be completed before occupancy of the
structure. Development shall not begin until adequate funding of the necessary
internal circulation traffic improvement has been guaranteed.
6. All proposed mitigation measures including, but not limited to,
providing public access, establishing view or wind corridors, preserving of sunlight
on the beaches, parks and boat slip areas, and participating in the funding of park
improvements or of traffic mitigation measures shall be made conditions of
approval. The applicant shall modify the design of the development to the extent
necessary to comply with such conditions.
7. All development shall participate in and contribute its fair share
to, funding of the mitigation measures described in the Coastal Improvement Fund
as specified in Section 22.46.1950 of tiiis Specific Plan. The fees shall be calculated
based on the improvement fund fee, and the number of additional residential units
approved for the project.
8. Lower cost visitor-serving facilities shall be protected and, to the
extent feasible, new lower cost visitor-serving uses shall be encouraged and
provided within the existing marina.
a. At a minimum, every new hotel development shall reserve and
22-234.89 supp. # 27, 11-95
22.46.1190
develop no less than 25 percent of the site as a lower cost overnight accommoda-
tion. A lower cost overnight accommodation includes a dormitory type accommoda-
tion such as a lower cost conference facility, or youth hostel, a campground, or
other use that by its design and nature can be operated at low or moderate cost and
that is accessible for individuals of less than the median income.
b. If the applicant demonstrates that development of a lower cost
accommodation on-site is not feasible, the applicant ma}^ instead contribute the cost
of acquisition and construction of a lower cost overnight facility, including the
prorated share of necessary support facilities including lounges, sanitary facilities
and dining halls. The applicant shall contribute the one-tenth of the cost of one bed
and Uie prorated share oi appurtenant improvements of a lower cost accommodation
for each market-rate room J)rovided on the hotel site. The amount of the fee shall
be adjusted annually to reflect the consumer price index and current construction
costs.
i. Because of the fluctuating market and cost of materials,
the applicant's demonstration shall include evidence of the infeasibility of on-site
provision of a lower cost facility, the current cost of off-site provision of lower cost
accommodations alternatives, the manner in which the provision of these off-site
accommodations complies widi the obligation to provide lower cost accommodations
on-site in terms of affording access to the manna and neaiby beaches.
ii. The amount of the fee shall be adjusted annually to
reflect the consumer price index and current construction costs. If the applicant
demonstrates that a hotel project proposed on the parcel paid said fee, or its
equivalent, within 20 years of the date of application, the applicant shall be exempt
from this obligation.
iii. Said fee shall be placed in separate restricted interest-
bearing trust account by the county that is identified only for use in developing
lower cost overnight accommodations open to the public in Marina del Rey. Possible
sites include parcels OT and 94. All monies shall be expended within Hve years of
collection to build, subsidize or otherwise facilitate construction of a lower cost
overnight facility such as youth hostels, low-cost motel, campground, or affordable
conference center with overnight accommodations in the marina, or within two miles
of its boundaries. If at the end of five years the fees have not been expended, an
LCP amendment shall be processed to determine options of using the funds for
lower cost overnight accommodations.
9. New roads and infrastructure shall be designed and constructed in
an environmentally sensitive manner, and shall follow the design and recreation
policies of the certified LCP, including landscaping standards required by the
Design Control Board.
10. The requirements for storm drain design and construction stated in
this Speciftc Plan shall be followed.
11. Any additional mitigation measure necessary for the complete
mitigation of significant adverse traffic impacts or of other signiHcant adverse
impacts caused by the development, including cumulative impacts. Said mitigation
may include funding for subregional traffic improvements to be carried out in
concert with other agencies.
12. Based upon information provided in the fire safety plan, the fire
department may review all applications for multistory buildings and, at its discre-
tion, may recommend an alternative height for the proposed multistory buildings
based upon their review and supported by factual findings. Such recommendations
shall be considered in determining conditions of s^proval for the project.
13. The applicant will be required to preserve coastal-dependent boating
or boating support uses on-site. If the essential functions of the Marina will not be
harmed by temporarily closing the use, the project may, instead of preserving the
facility, replace the facility with a similar facility of the same size and capacity
within the Marina. If approved, such replacement shall occur before development
Supp. # 27, 11-95 22-234.90
22.46.1190
of the use which displaces it may commence. Boating support uses include, but are
not limited to: boat launch ramps, boat hoists, mast-up boat storage, gasoline docks
and pump-out stations, small boat rentals, boating schools, personal watercraft
launch areas and, in anchorages, passenger and equipment loading zones, dinghy
docks, and navigational information centers.
14. Residential and mixed use projects shall not reduce the amount of
land area devoted to coastal-dependent boating uses in the development zone. Any
{>roject which relocates an existing coastal-dependent boating use, including but not
imited to boat launching, boat storage, boater parking and access, shall be located
within the development zone at a location that affords equal operational efficiency
for the use. Construction of the replacement use shall be phased so that said use
is replaced before development of the use which displaces it.
15. All development shall contribute its fair and proportionate share
of necessary mitigation of the development's impacts on the subregional transporta-
tion program as determined in subsection (A)(10) of Section 22.46.1180.
a. Threshold. Mitigation measures are required if (1 ) an intersec-
tion is projected to operate at a mid-range level of service D (or volume to capacity
(V/C) ratio of 0.85) as a result of the project's impacts, or (2) intersections within
the project's area of influence are alread]^ operating at a level of service above 0.85,
and the project will result in a projected increase of 0.01 above anticipated ambient
conditions.
b. Recommendations on Mitigation Requirements. If the depart-
ment of public works determines that mitigation is required, the department, with
input from the city department of transportation and Caltrans, shall determine the
type of mitigation measures most appropriate to the specific project. The department
shall specifically determine how much an appropriate or projected mitigation
measure would reduce the impacts of the project's daily and peak-hour trips on the
subregional transportation system, and shall submit a recommendation on aprefeired
mitigation measure or mitigation requirement. If a **fair share amount mitigation"
is determined to be the appropriate mitigation measure, the department shall
determine the applicant's proportionate fair share of the project to which the
mitigation will apply, and the construction schedule of the suggested improvement,
and shall submit a recommendation on a preferred mitigation requirement. The types
of mitigation measures available to satisfy this requirement are listed in subsection
(A)(15)(c) of this section.
c. Available traffic mitigation measures:
— Category 3 improvements listed in the transportation improve-
ment program, found in Appendix G of this Specific Plan;
— Reduction in traffic trips as may be accomplished through
participation in transportation system management and trans-
portation demand management programs cited in Appendix
G of this Specific Plan;
— Reduction of traffic trips as may be accomplished through
reduction in project size;
— Payment of an in lieu fee or "fair share" amount of a mitiga-
tion project where a fair share amount of the mitigation
requirement has been determined, the project has been sched-
uled for construction and the cost and benefits of the project
have been determined; and
— Other mitigation measure(s) mutually acceptable to the De-
partment of Public Works, the city department of transporta-
tion, and Caltrans.
d. Timely Submittal of Required Studies and Evaluations. The
studies, analysis and evaluations required by this subsection 15 shall be rejquired
to be completed before filing a coastal development permit application with the
department of regional planning. If the applicant requests that the traffic study be
evaluated during the environmental review process, the applicant's coastal develop-
22-234.91 supp.# 27, 11-95
22.46.1190
ment permit shall not be filed or accepted until such time as the traffic study has
been completed to the satisfaction of the department of public works. If the
applicant requests a direct contribution to an existing subregional mitigation fund,
information regarding that fund and the applicant's agreement to contribute a fair
share mitigation fee to that fund shall be provided at the time a traffic study
otherwise would have been required.
e. Mitigation. All development must fully mitigate all significant
daily and peak-hour adverse traffic impacts.
B. The conditions shall run with the land and shall be binding on all lessees
and sublessees of the parcel. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1
(part), 1990.)
22.46.1200 Land use category use restrictions and development stan-
dards — Purpose. A. The following use restrictions and development standards
shall apply to land use categories in this Specific Plan area. All land use categories
are subject to the design guidelines and phasing requirements provided for in
Sections 22.46.1060 and 22.46.1090 of this Specific Plan. Land use categories
extend beyond the parcel boundary line to the centerline of the street(s) bordering
the parcel. Development on a parcel must also conform to the Site-Specific Devel-
opment Guidelines of this Specific Plan. As used in these Land Use Restrictions
and in the site-specific guidelines, the word "shair means a requirement is manda-
tory whereas the word "majr** means the standards are encouraged but not impera-
tive. Where site-specific guidelines found in Section 22.46.1790 or the conditions
of development found in Section 22.46.1190 differ from the regulations of these
Land Use Restrictions and Development Standards, such site-specific standards and
conditions of development shall supersede the land use category regulations listed
below. All development in the existing Nfarina is subject to the review of the design
control board of the department of beaches and harbors. If there is a conflict among
these development standards, the more restrictive document shall control.
B. Legal descriptions for parcels according to land use category may be
found in Appendix A. Modifications of development standards for land use catego-
ries in Marina del Rey shall comply with the variance procedures found in Part 2,
Chapter 22.56 of Title 22 and any findings required by the project's coastal
development permit. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 90-0158 § 1 (part), 1990.)
22.46.1210 Oi^anization. Each of the following land use categories contain
restrictions and standards which shall apply on all parcels designated for that
category. There are two types of land use categories: (1) primary land use category
and (2) overlay land use category. All parcels have designated a primary land use
category; selected parcels are assigned an overlay land use category as well. The
standards and requirements for an overlay category shall be considered in conjunc-
tion with the requirements of the primary land use category. Land use categories
are organized in the following fashion:
A. Intent. This is a statement of purpose of the category with regard to the
development and resource protection policies that are to be carried out in the
particular category.
B. Principal Permitted Uses. This is a listing of the uses which clearly
implement the designated land uses and policies of the categorjr. These uses require
approval of a coas^ development permit unless they are specifically exempted or
categorically excluded. Each principal permitted uses section is divided into primary
uses, which may stand alone, and uses allowed only in conjunction with a primary
or conditionally permitted use. The principal permitted use is generally not appeal-
able to the Coastal Commission unless it is located in one of the areas listed in
Section 22.56.2450 where the Coastal Commission retains appeal jurisdiction.
Secondary uses are uses which do not require a conditional use permit, but which
are appesdable to the Coastal Commission. Coastal development permits for uses
which are appealable to the Coastal Commission shall have a public hearing in
Snpp.# 27. 11-95 22-234.92
•
22.46.1210
accordance with Section 22.56.2380.
C. Uses Subject to Additional Permits. This is a listing of uses which may
implement the intent of the categdry but only under certain circumstances or conditions.
These uses may require the approval of conditional use, temporary use or other permits
in addition to a coastal development permit or other development approval. The uses in
this section are appealable to the Coastal Commission. Coastal development permits for
uses which are appealable to the Coastal Commission shall have a public hearing in
accordance with Section 22.56.2380.
D. Development Standards. This is a listing of regulations that apply to
development within a particular land use category. These regulations relate to height
limits, setbacks, lot coverages and densities. The development standards, including
height, identified for each land use category are the maximums permitted in the land use
category; standards are further restricted, where stated, on a parcel-specific basis
according to Sections 22.46.1790 through 22.46.1940. Compliance with these standards
will be substantiated through the issuance of coastal development permits. Where a
range of height standards are given, the height over the minimum may be approved only
if allowed on the site and under the conditions set forth in subsection E of Section
22.46.1060, and only if allowed on the site by Sections 22.46.1790 through 22.46.1940.

— Mixed Use projects permitted by the Waterfront Overlay Zone shall not
reduce the amount of land area devoted to existing visitor-serving,
boating or marine commercial uses:
1. With the exception of facilities located on Parcels 1, 54, 55 and
56, which shall be preserved on site, boating facilities may be relocated in conjunc-
tion with development so long as the same or larger boating facility is replaced
within the Marina, and water and/or anchorage access necessary to allow the use
to operate is preserved;
2. Any project which relocates an existing coastal-dependent boating
use, including but not limited to boat launching, boat storage, boater parking and
access, shall be phased so that said use is replaced within the marina before the
development which displaces it may commence;
3 . Visitor-serving uses shown on Map 6 of the LUP, Existing/Proposed
Visitor-Serving Facilities, shall be preserved or replaced on-site, as part of redevel-
opment;
4. Other existing recreation, visitor-serving and marine commercial
facilities not shown on Map o of the LUP may be relocated in conjunction with
development as long as the use is replaced within the Marina before the develop-
ment which displaces it may commence. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22.46.1740 Mixed Use Overlay Zone — Intent. Mixed Use Overlay is
intended as an overlay land use category applied to selected parcels in addition to
the primary land use category of the site. The overlay is designed to encourage
mixed use projects and increase overall development flexibility. The Mixed Use
Overlay permits the combination of any land use category with the primary land
use category of a site; mixing of uses within a structure is also permitted. (Ord. 95-
0042 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22.46.1750 Mixed Use Overlay Zone — Permitted Uses. Property in the
Mixed Use Overlay Zone may be used for:
A. The following principal permitted use:
— The use identified as the principal permitted use on the parcel subject
to the application as designated in the Site-Specific Development Guide-
lines for that parcel.
B. The following permitted uses:
— Any use identified as a permitted use on the parcel, subject to the
application permitted land use categories which are designated in the
Site-Specific Development Guidelines for that parcel.
C. Any accessory use listed in subsection B of permitted uses for any of
the primary land use categories which are designated in the Site-Specific Develop-
ment Guidelines for that parcel, provided the use is developed in conjunction with
an allowed principal permitted use or permitted use, or an accessory use to a use
allowed by Section 22.46.1760 below for which a conditional use permit has been
granted. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22.46.1760 Mixed Use Overlay Zone — Uses subject to additional
permits. Property in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone may be used for:
A. Any use listed as a principal permitted use, permitted use or uses subject
to additional permits in any land use category, provided a conditional use permit
has first been obtained as provided in Part 1 of Chapter 22.56.
B . The following uses, provided the specified permit has first been obtained,
and while such permit is in full force and effect in conformity witii the conditions
of such permit tor:
— Temporary uses as provided in Part 14 of Chapter 22.56.

22.46.1770 Mixed Use Overlay Zone — Development standards. A.
Development standards in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone shall be equivalent to the
standards of the respective primary land use categories in this chapter. Development
permitted by the Mixed Use Overlay Zone must be consistent with the development
standards ot the primary land use category which permits the use. The Site-Specific
Development Guidelines shall also apply and shall supersede the land use category
standards when the standards differ.
B. A detailed plot plan shall be submitted which accurately shows the
location and dimensions of all improvements including streets, w^ways, water
areas, buildings, parcel lines, landscaped areas, buildings, etc. Multistory buildings
and areas of mixed uses shall be indicated. Where applicable, the plans shall
indicate the boundary lines of the land use categories located on the subject
property; the land area for each category shall be calculated and shown on the plan.
A tentative map shall be flled when required by Title 21 of this code. Information
shall be submitted which indicates how the proposed development is consistent with
the allocation of development in the development zone where the parcel resides,
as specified in the Site-Specific Development Guidelines.
C. All development shall be carried out consistent with a plot plan submitted
with the initial application on the property. The plot plan shall be consistent with
the Specific Plan. The plot plan sh^ cover the entire parcel, and if there is phasing
of the project, shall show phasing consistent with the provisions of the Specific
Plan.
— Mixed Use projects permitted by the Waterfront Overlay Zone shall not
reduce the amount of land area devoted to existing visitor-serving,
boating or marine commercial uses:
1. With the exception of facilities located on Parcels 1, 54, 55 and
56, which shall be preserved on site, boating facilities may be relocated in conjunc-
tion with development so long as the same or larger boating facility is replaced
within the Marina, and water and/or anchorage access necessary to allow me use
to operate is preserved;
2. Any project which relocates an existing coastal-dependent boating
use, including but not limited to boat launching, boat storage, boater parking and
access, shall be phased so that said use is replaced within the Marina before the
development which displaces it may commence;
3 . Visitor-serving uses shown on Map 6 of the LUP, Existing/Proposed
Visitor-Serving Facilities, shall be preserved or replaced on-site, as part of redevel-
opment;
4. Other existing recreation, visitor-serving and marine commercial
facilities not shown on Map 6 of the LUP may be relocated in conjunction with
development as long as the use is replaced within the Marina before the develop-
ment which displaces it may commence. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22.46.1780 Site-Specific Development Guidelines — Purpose. A. These
guidelines set forth site-specific development standards and guidelines for parcels
within the existing Marina. As used in these site-specific guidelines, the word
^shair means a requirement is mandatory whereas the word "may" means the
standards are encouraged but not imperative. Development Zones are identified in
Exhibit 4, Marina Development Zones (see Exhibit 4 at the end of this Pan 3).
Exhibits 5 through 19 illustrate the various parcels within each development zone
(see Exhibits 5 through 19 set out at the end of this Part 3). Parcel numbers for the
existing Marina are those used in lease parcel identification by Los Angeles County.
Category boundaries for parcels containing more than one category may be found
on the maps included in these site-specific guidelines.
B. Maximum buildouts and land uses are identified for each Development
Zone. Certain existing or allocated development may be converted to other uses in
the same development zone, consistent with subsection C5 of Section 22.46.1090
of this Specific Plan and the land use category(ies) of the affected parcel(s).
Snpp. # 27, 11-95 22-234. 1 16
22.46.1780
C. Each parcel has an identified primary land use category, required public
improvements (if any) and special development considerations. With the exception
of Parcel 9, which is under the control of the Los Angeles County department of
beaches and harbors, all parcels in Marina del Rey are now developed, and their
present use is indicated on pages 21 through 25 of Appendix C, Specifications and
Minimum Standards of Architectural Treatment and Construction, of the certified
LCP. The additional development potential of a parcel is dependent upon the land
use category(ies) of the parcel and the development allocated to the zone in which
the parcel resides. Development monitoring shall continuously track the amount of
development available in every zone; after an expansion project is approved, the
additional development granted as part of the approval shall be deducted from the
development available in a project's development zone. The balance will be the
development available for future projects in the zone. Once the buildout allocated
to a development zone is depleted to a zero development balance, future develop-
ment in the zone is limited to recycling of uses with no expansions or increased trip
generation. Existing uses shall be maintained on parcels residing in zones with a
zero development balance, except for development consistent with the conversion
provisions of subsection C5 of Section 22.46.1090.
D. Records. The Department of Regional Planning shall maintain a public
record, open for public review and inspection, of (1) the amount of redevelopment
granted in each development zone, (2) the amount of redevelopment remaining in
each zone, and (3) the amount of redevelopment proposed in pending applications
in each zone. Copies of this public log shall be forwarded semiannually to the
department of beaches and harbors and the California Coastal Commission.
E. Definitions. Maintenance of a use means the existing or similar use,
height, floor area or intensity and peak-hour trip generation of a parcel shall remain
the same. Required public improvements are those improvements the parcel lessee
will be required to make when new development or recycling of uses on the
leasehold occurs. Special development considerations refer to special circumstances
or conditions which shall be observed at the time of development.
F. All parcels are subject to the phasing requirements outlined in Section
22.46.1090 of this Specific Plan. In addition, all parcels must conform to the Use
Restrictions and Development Standards and to these site-specific guidelines.
Finally, development on all parcels in the existing Marina is subject to the review
of the Design Control Board. As used in these land use restrictions and in the site-
specific guidelines, the word "shall" means a requirement is mandatory whereas the
word "may" means the standards are encouraged but not imperative. Where site-
specific guidelines found in Sections 22.46.1790 through 22.46.1940, or the
conditions of approval found in Section 22.46.1190 differ from the land use
category regulations and development standards listed in Section 22.46.1200 above,
such site-specific standards and conditions of development shall supersede the land
use category regulations. If there is a conflict among these development standards,
the more restrictive document shall control.
G. It is the intent of this Specific Plan to allow the development of public
facility uses as needed to serve the visitors and residents of Marina del Rey. Such
uses shall include, but are not limited to, parking, tire, sheriff, beach, library, park,
public transportation and other emergency and nonemergency services required for
the day-to-day operation of the Marina. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995: Ord. 91-

22.46.1950 Coastal improvement fund. A. A coastal improvement fund is
established to finance construction of local park facilities in the Marina del Rey
area. New park facilities will mitigate the impacts of new residential development
on the regional recreational resources of the Marina and adjacent beaches. The fund
will be generated by charging a fee per unit for new residential units in the existing
Marina.
Each subsequent development application to construct new residential units
in Marina del Rey shall contnbute its c^culated share to the coastal improvement
fund to provide funds for construction of local park facilities in Marina del Rey.
The coastal improvement fund may be used for projects identified in subsection C
of this section.
B. Discussion. Additional residential development will place a burden on
the regional recreational resources of the Marina and adjacent areas as new residents
utilize these resources to fulfill local recreation needs. Creation and improvement
of new park lands and public access areas to serve the new residential population
will mitigate the adverse impacts of additional residential development on regional
facilities. The coastal improvement fund will provide a mechanism to collect fees
to be used for the development of new park and public access facilities in the
existing Marina.
The Specific Plan allocates a total of 2,420 additional dwelling units for the
existing Marina. The average occu])ancy for apartment dwelling units in the Marina
del Rey area is 1.5 residents per unit, according to the 1990 Census. Based on these
figures, residential development is expected to add 3,630 residents to the existing
Marina.

22.46.1950
The Los Angeles County General Plan establishes a local park standard of four
acres per 1,000 population. Application of this standard against the increased
population results in a local park need of 14.5 acres in the existing Marina. These
acreages are attributed to the new development only and do not include acreages
which are part of the local park space dencit for existing development.
Improvement of Parcel FF as a 2-acre park and improvement of Parcel P as
a 10.7-acre open space area with public access will create 12.7 acres of new local
park space and public amenities in the existing Marina, resulting in a 1.8-acre
deficit. Improvement of another 1.8-acre site would fulHll the local park need of
new development. However, a more feasible alternative is the improvement of the
12.7 acres (Parcels FF and P) with amenities equal in value to the cost of improving
the entire 14.5 acres. This will mitigate local park needs attributable to new
development and is preferable to development of another 1.8-acre site.
Improvement of land for local park si>ace will cost $100,000.00 per acre. This
cost includes the improvements identified in subsection (C)(1) of this section. The
cost of improvements, therefore, is calculated at the rate of $100,000.00 per acre,
yielding a total cost of $1,450,000.00 for improvement of 14.5 acres in the existing
Marina.
The coastal improvement fund fee is determined as follows: $1,450,000.00
total funds needed spread over 2,420 residential units results in a cost of $600.00
per dwelling unit.
C. Use of the Fund. The following uses of the coastal improvement fund
will be allowed:
1. Park and public access facilities, including, but not limited to:
— Bicycle paths;
— Community buildings;
— Drinking fountains;
— Interpretive displays;
— Irrigation;
— Jogging paths;
— Landscaping;
— Parking lots;
— Pedestrian promenades;
— Picnic tables and benches;
— Playgrounds;
— Recreation centers;
— Recreational fields;
— Restroom facilities;
— Turf;
— View decks and areas;
— Walkways.
2. Acreage. Funds accumulated by payment of the coastal improvement
fund fee from development in the existing Marina shall be used to construct any
of the facilities identified in subsection (C^(l) of this section on 12.7 acres of local
park land and public access area in the existing Marina identified in this Specific
Plan respectively as Parcel FF and Parcel P.
D. Project Credit. Development projects may be credited from payment of
the calculated coastal improvement fund fee at the rate of $2.30 credit for every
square foot of improved public open space provided on-site. Improvements qualify-
ing for credit shall be only those identified in section (C)(1) of this section. A
contiguous 500 square feet shall be the minimum size open space area to receive
credit under this project credit option.
£. Reimbursement. Fee payments made at the rate established herein shall
be subject to partial reimbursement, on a pro rata basis, in the event that ultimate
park improvement costs fall below those presently calculated. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1
(part), 1995.)

22.46.1960 Youtb faostel fund. A. A youth hostel fund will be established
to encourage new low-cost overnight accommodations in the Marina del Rey area.
The fund will be generated by charging a fee per unit for new hotel units in the
existing Marina (Phase 11).
Each subsequent development application to construct new hotel rooms in
Marina del Rey shall participate in and contribute its fair calculated share to an
appropriate financing program to provide funds for youth hostel construction in the
Marina area. The youth hostel fund may be used for projects identifled in subsection
E of this section.
B. Discussion. Low-cost visitor-serving accommodations in Marina del Rey
are highly outnumbered by high-cost hotels, condominiums, and apartments. The
certified LUP determined that these high-cost accommodations can be mitigated by
providing funds to be used for creation of new, lower-cost overnight accommoda-
tions in the Marina area. The youth hostel fund responds to the LUP's recreation
and visitor-serving facilities policy to provide these accommodations.
Hotel development allowed by Phase 1 in the existing Marina has already
provided approximately $1,000,000.00 in funds for youth hostel accommodations,
including contributions toward a youth hostel under construction in Santa Monica.
However, the burden of mitigating high-cost accommodations should not be limited
to Phase I development; Phase II hotels, therefore, are required to contribute to the
youth hostel fund.
C. Assessment. Each developer who opts to contribute to a youth hostel
fund, in lieu of provision of low and moderate cost overnight accommodations on-
site, shall contribute the prorated share of the acquisition and construction of a
moderate-cost facility. Said contribution shall be at a rate of one-tenth of the current
cost of acquisition and construction of one bed and one bed's share of appurtenant
supporting facilities including bathrooms and kitchens) per every 10 market rate
hotel rooms constructed.
D. Limitations. The fund shall be deposited in a separate interest-bearing
account and shall be spent only for the purposes outlined in subsection £ of this
section. If after a period of Ave years, the monies have not been spent, the county
shall return for an LCP amendment to determine alternative low and moderate cost
accommodations.
E. Use of the Fund. The fund shall be expended only on lower-cost over-
night accommodations in the Marina del Rey area such as:
— Youth hostels;
— Elder hostels;
— Lower-cost group conference accommodations;
— Campgrounds.
(Ord. 95-0042 § 1 (part), 1995.)
22.46.1970 Coastal improvement fund fee. A. Purpose. The Los Angeles
County coastal improvement fund and fee is hereby established to finance construc-
tion of local park facilities in existing Marina del Rey. The fund implements
recreation and visitor-serving facilities policies set forth in the Marina del Rey Land
Use Plan. Implementation of the fund will mitigate the impacts of new residential
development on coastal access, visitor-serving and coastal-dependent uses.
B. Coastal Improvement Programs Specified. The Marina del Rey Specific
Plan identifies specinc facilities which may be financed through the coastal
improvement fund to mitigate the impacts of residential development in the existing
Marina. The facilities include:
1. Park and public access facilities, including, but not limited to:
— Bicycle paths;
— Community buildings;
— Drinking fountains;
— Interpretive displays;
— Irrigation;

— Parking lots;
— Pedestrian promenades;
— Picnic tables and benches;
— Playgrounds;
— Recreation centers;
— Recreational fields;
— Restroom facilities;

2. Acreage. Funds accumulated by payment of the coastal improvement
fund fee from development in the existing Marina shall be used to construct any
of the facilities identified in subsection A of this section on 12.7 acres of local park
land and public access area in the existing Marina identified in the Specific Plan
respectively as Parcel FF and Parcel P.
C. Establishment of Fund. The coastal improvement fund shall be estab-
lished based upon fees charged for the construction of new residential units
anywhere in existing Marina del Rey. Said fees shall be required as a condition of
approval for development in the areas specified above; fees shall be collected prior
to the issuance of building permits.
D. Calculation of Fee. The coastal improvement fund fee shall be based on
the calculation of the net increase in residential units. The fee in dollars shall be
figured as follows:
Fee = Number of new residential units multiplied by 600.
£. Use of the Fund. The fees collected shall be deposited in a separate,
interest-bearing account constituting the Los Angeles County coastal improvement
fund. Other money which may accrue to the fund from sources other than the fee
will similarly be deposited in the Los Angeles County coastal improvement fund.
The fund will be administered jointly by the directors of the department of beaches
and harbors and regional planning. The fund will be utilized exclusively for
financing improvements listed in Section 2.
F. Project Credit. Development projects may be credited from payment of
the calculated coastal improvement fund fee at the rate of $2.30 credit for every
square foot of improved public open space provided on-site. Improvements qualify-
ing for credit snail be only those identified in subsection A of Section 2. A
contiguous 500 square feet shall be the minimum size open space area to receive
credit under this project credit option.
G. Reimbursement. Fee payments made at the rates established herein shall
be subject to partial reimbursement, on a pro rata basis, in the event that ultimate
park improvement costs fall below those presently calculated. (Ord. 95-0042 § 1
(pan), 1995.)

tions of this Title 22, or both, cannot be complied with. Where any part of such
building or structure is acquired for public use, the remainder of such building or
structure may be repaired, reconstructed, or remodeled, with the same or similar

22.52.1000 Purpose of Part 11 provisions. It is the purpose of this Part 1 1
to establish comprehensive parking provisions to effectively regulate the design of
parking facilities and equitably establish the number of parking spaces required for
various uses. The standards for parking facilities are intended to promote vehicular
and pedestrian safety and efficient land use. They are also intended to promote
compatibility between parking facihties and surrounding neighborhoods and protect
property values by providing such amenities as landscaping, walls and setbacks.
Parking requirements are established to assure that an adequate number of spaces are
available to accommodate anticipated demand in order to lessen traffic congestion
and adverse impacts on surrounding properties. (Ord. 83-0161 § 22, 1983.)
22.52.1005 Applicability of Part 11 provisions. A. The provisions of this
Part 11 shall apply at the time that a building or structure is erected, altered, or
enlarged to increase floor space, numbers of dwelling units or guestrooms, or the use
or occupant load of a building or structure is changed. Alterations, enlargements,
increases, additions, modifications or any similar changes to uses, buildings, or
structures nonconforming due to parking shall also comply with Part 10 of Chapter
22.56.
B. In the case of mixed uses, the total number of parking spaces required
shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately.
22-299 Siqjp. #70, 11-06
22.52.1005
Required parking spaces for one use shall not be considered as providing required
parking spaces for any other use unless allowed by a parking permit approved in
accordance with Part 7 of Chapter 22.56.
C. Parking spaces established by this Part 1 1 shall be improved as required
by this Part 1 1 prior to occupancy of new buildings or structures, or occupancy of a
new use in the case of an existing building or structure which has been altered or
enlarged in accordance with subsection A of this section.
D. The provisions of this Part 11 shall not apply to property on Santa
Catalina or San Clemente Islands or to temporary parking facilities authorized by an
approved temporary use permit, except where specifically required by the director.
E. The development standards contained in this Part 1 1 shall be superseded
where a community standards district established pursuant to Part 2 of Chapter 22.44
provides different standards.
F. For qualified projects, as provided in Part 1 7 of Chapter 22.52 and Part 1 8
of Chapter 22.56, either of the following shall apply:
1. Notwithstanding the requirements to the contrary specified in Part
11, if requested by the applicant, the development standards described in Section
22.52.1850 shall apply.
2. The development standards described in this Part 1 1 as waived or
modified in accordance with Sections 22.52.1840, 22.52.1850, 22.52.1860, and other
sections, as applicable.
G. The provisions of this Part 1 1 in effect at the time of final approval of
applications for conditional use permits, director's review site plan and other similar
zoning cases shall apply. Provided however, that as to any pending application which
was filed and completed and pursued diUgently before June 15, 1983, the applicant
may request that the provisions in effect at the time of filing be applied. (Ord. 2006-
0063 § 22, 2006; Ord. 83-0161 § 23, 1983.)
22.52.1010 Permanent maintenance required. Parking facilities required
by this Part 1 1 shall be conveniently accessible and permanently maintained as such
unless and until substituted for in full compliance with the provisions of this Title 22.
(Ord. 83-0161 § 24, 1983: Ord. 1494 Ch. 7 Art. 3 § 703.8, 1927.)
22.52.1020 Ownership of required space. A. Except as provided in
subsection B of this section, space required by this Part 1 1 for parking shall either be
owned by the owner of the premises because of the use of which the parking space is
required, or the owner of such premises shall have the right to use such space for
parking by virtue of a recorded lease for a term of not less than 20 years. Such lease
shall require that upon expiration or cancellation, the party using the parking spaces
provided by such lease, prior to the effective date of such expu-ation or cancellation,
shall notify the planning director of such event. If the lease is cancelled, expires or is
otherwise voided, other parking shall be provided in accordance with this Part 1 1 . If
the required parking is not provided for any use covered by the former lease, such
use shall be immediately terminated.
Siqjp. # 70, 1 1-06 22-300
22.52.1020
B. Ownership, or a 20-year lease of required parking space is not necessary
if another alternative is specifically allowed by a parking permit approved in
accordance with Part 7 of Chapter 22.56. (Ord. 83-0161 § 25, 1983: Ord. 1494 Ch. 7
Art. 3 § 703.20, 1927.)
22.52.1030 Width, paving, and slope or driveways. Access to one or
more parking spaces required by this Part 11 which serve three or more dwelling
units shall be developed in accordance with the following:
A. Driveways shall be not less than 10 feet wide.
B. Where this Part 1 1 requires that such access be paved, the pavement shall
be not less than 10 feet in width throughout, except that a center strip over which the
wheels of a vehicle will not pass in normal use need not be paved.
C. Unless modified by the director or county engineer because of
topographical or other conditions, no portion of a driveway providing access to
parking spaces shall exceed a slope of 20 percent. Where there is a change in the
slope of
22-300. 1 supp. # 70, 1 1-06
22.52.1030
driveway providing such access, it must be demonstrated that vehicles will be able
to pass over such change in slope without interference with their undercarriages.
(Ord. 83-016 1 § 26, 1983: Ord. 1494 Ch. 7 Art. 3 § 703.5, 1927.)
22.52.1040 Difficult or impossible access to parking space — Alternate
requirements. Where vehicular access to any parking space on the same lot or parcel
of land as the residential structure to which it would be accessory is not possible
from any highway or street due to topographical or other conditions, or is so
difficult that to require such access is unreasonable in the opinion of the director or
county engineer, such parking space is not required if:
A. Alternate parking facilities approved by either the director or county
engineer are provided; or
B. The director or county engineer finds that alternate parking facilities are
not feasible. (Ord. 83-0161 § 27, 1983: Ord. 1494 Ch. 7 Art. 3 § 703.6, 1927.)
22.52.1060 Specifications for development or parking facilities. All land
used for parking, other than a lot or parcel of land having a gross area of one acre or
more per dweUing unit used, designed or intended to be used for residential
purposes shall be developed and used as follows:
A. Paving. Where access to a parking space or spaces is from a highway,
street or alley which is paved with asphaltic or concrete surfacing, such parking
areas, as well as the maneuvering areas and driveways used for access thereto, shall
be paved with:
1. Concrete surfacing to a minimum thickness of three and one-half
inches, with expansion joints as necessary; or
2. Asphalt surfacing, rolled to a smooth, hard surface having a mini-
mum thickness of one and one-half inches after compaction, and laid over a base of
crushed rock, gravel or other similar material compacted to a minimum thickness
of four inches. The requirement for said base may be modified if:
a. A qualified engineer, retained to furnish a job-site soil analy-
sis, finds that said base is unnecessary to insure a firm and unyielding subgrade,
equal, from the standpoint of the service, life and appearance of the asphaltic
surfacing, to that provided if said base were required, and so states in writing,
together with a copy of his findings and certification to such effect, or
b. Other available information provides similar evidence; or
3. Other alternative material that will provide at least the equivalent
in service, life and appearance of the materials and standards which would be
employed for development pursuant to subsection Al or A2 of this section;
4. The county engineer, at the request of the director, shall review
and report on the adequacy of paving where modification of base is proposed under
subsection A2, or where alternative materials are proposed under subsection A3.
The county engineer may approve such modification or such alternative materials
if, in his opinion, the evidence indicates compliance with subsection A2 or .A3 as
the case may be.
B. 1. Marking of Spaces. Each parking space shall be clearly marked
with paint or other similar distinguishable material, except spaces established in a
garage or carport having not more than three spaces.
22-301
22.52.1060
2. Striping for parking spaces may be modified by the director where
there is a dual use of the parking facility or where an alternate paving material as
described in subsection A3 of this section is used. In approving such modification
by site plan the director shall require suitable alternate means of marking the space
to insure the required number of spaces is provided.
3. Each compact automobile parking space shall be clearly marked
with the words "Compact Only."
C. Wheel Stops. Wheel stops shall be provided for parking lots with a slope
of more than three percent, except that the installation of wheel stops is optional for
parking stalls oriented at right angles to the direction of slope. Wheel stops are also
required on the perimeter of parking lots which are adjacent to walls, fences or
pedestrian walkways.
D. Walls.
1. Front Yards. Where parking facilities are located adjacent to the
front lot lines, a solid masonry wall not less than 30 inches nor more than 42 inches
in height, shall be established parallel to and not nearer than five feet to the fi-ont lot
line except that:
a. The wall required shall not be nearer to the front lot hne than
the abutting required front or side yard of property in a residential or agricultural
zone for a distance of 50 feet from the common boundary line;
b. Where abutting and adjacent property is in zones other than
a residential or agricultural, the director may permit the establishment of the
required wall:
i. Closer than five feet to the front property line, and/or
ii. To a height not exceeding six feet pursuant to the provi-
sions of Part 12 of Chapter 22.56 except where a yard is required in the zone.
2. a. Side and Rear Yards. Where parking facilities are located on
land adjoining a residential or agricultural zone, a solid masonry wall not less than
five feet nor more than six feet in height shall be established along the side and rear
lot lines adjoining said zones except that:
i. Where such wall is located within 10 feet of any street,
highway or alley and would interfere with the line-of-sight of the driver of a motor
vehicle leaving the property on a driveway, or moving past a comer at the intersec-
tion of two streets or highways, said wall shall not exceed a height of 42 inches.
ii. Such wall shall not be less than four feet in height above
the surface of the adjoining property. If said wall is more than six feet in height
above said adjoining property, it shall be set back from the adjoining property line a
distance of one foot for each one foot in height above six feet.
3. The director may approve substitution of a decorative fence or
wall, or landscaped berm where, in his opinion, such fence, wall or landscaped berm
will adequately comply with the intent of this section pursuant to the provisions of
Part 12 of Chapter 22.56.
- E. Landscaping.
1. Where a wall is required to be set back from a lot line, the area
between said lot line and such wall shall be landscaped with a lawn, shrubbery, trees
and/or flowers, and shall be continuously maintained in good condition.
2. Where more than 20 automobile parking spaces exist on a lot or
parcel of land, areas not used for vehicle parking or maneuvering, or for the
movement of pedestrians to and from vehicles, should be used for landscaping. At
22-302
22.52.1060
least two percent of the gross area of the parking lot shall be landscaped.
Landscaping shall be distributed throughout the parking lot, so as to maximize the
aesthetic effect and compatibility with adjoining uses. This regulation shall not
apply to parking areas on the roofs of buildings, nor to parking areas within a
building.
3. All landscaping materials and sprinkler systems shall be clearly
indicated on the required site plans.
F. Lighting. Lighting shall be so arranged to prevent glare or direct illumi-
nation in any residential or agricultural zone.

vehicles over a sidewalk, public street, alley or highway. Parked vehicles shall not
encroach on nor extend over any sidewalk. Parking spaces shall be designed and
striped as shown in Appendix 3 of this Title 22. Modifications to the designs shown
in Appendix 3 may be approved by the director provided that such modifications
are compatible with the design criteria contained in said appendix.
I. Site Plans. A site plan shall be submitted to the director to insure that
said use will properly comply with the provisions of this Title 22 as provided in
Part 12 of Chapter 22.56 on director's review. (Ord. 83-0161 §§ 29 — 37, 1983;
Ord. 1494 Ch. 7 Art. 3 § 703.21, 1927.)

within a 23-foot-wide area striped to provide a nine-foot parking area on each side
of a five-foot loading and unloading area in the center. The minimum length of each
parking space shall be 18 feet. These parking spaces shall be designed substantially
in conformance with the illustration in Appendix 3 of this Title 22.
C. Encroachment. In each parking area, a wheel stop or curb shall be
provided and located to prevent encroachment of cars over the required width of
walkways. Also, the space shall be so located that a handicapped person is not
compelled to wheel or walk behind parked cars other than their own. Pedestrian
ways which are accessible to the physically handicapped shall be provided from
each such parking space to related facilities, including curb cuts or ramps as needed.
Ramps shall not encroach into any parking space. However, ramps located at the
front of parking spaces for the physically handicapped may encroach into the length
of such spaces when such encroachment does not limit a handicapped person's
capability to leave or enter their vehicle.
D. Slopes. Surface slopes of parking spaces for the physically handicapped
shall be the minimum possible and shall not exceed one-quarter inch per foot (2.083
percent slope) in any direction.
E. Marking. The surface of each parking space shall have a surface identifi-
cation sign duplicating the symbol of accessibility in blue paint, at least three square

22.56.150 Expiration following cessation of use. A conditional use permit
granted by action of the hearing officer or the commission, shall automatically cease

1 § 501.23, 1927.)
22.56.180 Adequate water supply — Criteria. If it appears that the use
requested will require a greater water supply for adequate fire protection than does
either the existing use or any use permitted without a conditional use permit in the
same zone, and will not comply with the provisions of Division 1 of Title 20 of this
code, such facts shall be prima facie evidence that such requested use will adversely
22-317 Supp. # 29. 5-96
22.56.180
affect and be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings and structures and
will not comply with the provisions of Section 22.56.090. If the water appeals board
grants a variance pursuant to any provision of Chapter 20.12 of said Division 1,

tion. Additional Findings Prerequisite to Permit.
A. This section applies to:
1. Establishments that do not currently, but propose to, sell alcoholic
beverages, for either on-site or off-site consumption;
2. Establishments that currently sell alcoholic beverages but which
propose to change the type of alcoholic beverages to be sold, by changing the type
of retail liquor license within a license classification;
3. Establishments that currently sell alcoholic beverages, if the
establishment substantially changes its mode or character of operation, which
includes, but is not limited to:

Supp. # 29, 5-96 22-318
22.56.195
beverage sales or inventory, or
b. A 25-percent increase in facing used for the display of
alcoholic beverages; and
4. Establishments which have either been abandoned or discontinued
operation for three months.
B. In addition to the findings required pursuant to subsection A of Section
22.56.090, the planning agency shall approve an application for a conditional use
permit for alcoholic beverage sales where the information submitted by the applicant,
or presented at public hearing, substantiates the following findings:
1. The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect
the use of a place used exclusively for religious worship, school, park, playground or
any similar use within a 600-foot radius; and
2. The requested use at the proposed location is sufficiently buffered
in relation to any residential area within the immediate vicinity so as not to adversely
affect said area; and
3. The requested use at the proposed location will not result in an
undue concentration of similar premises; a separation of not less than 500 feet shall
not be construed as undue concentration; provided, however, that the planning
agency may find that the public convenience or necessity for an additional facility
selling alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption, outweighs the fact that it is
located within a 500-foot radius of any other facility selling alcoholic beverages for
either on-site or off-site consumption, in which case the shelf space devoted to
alcoholic beverages shall be limited to not more than five percent of the total shelf
space in the establishment; and
4. The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect
the economic welfare of the nearby community; and
5. The exterior appearance of the structure will not be inconsistent
with the exterior appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under
construction within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause blight, deterioration,
or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. (Ord.
92-0097 §4, 1992.)

dwelling units be single-family residences unless a townhouse development is
requested and approved.
3. Location, Separation and Height of Buildings. The hearing officer
shall impose conditions as he deems necessary to govern the location, separation
and height of buildings to insure compatible placement on the proposed site and
with relationship to the surrounding area. This provision shall not be deemed to
permit approval of a greater height than is permitted in the zone where develop-
ment is proposed.
C. In addition to conditions imposed pursuant to Section 22.56.100, in
approving a density-controlled development, the hearing officer may impose con-
ditions pertaining to the following:
1. Location of Automobile Parking Facihties. Where the hearing
officer determined that the proposed development will contain design features
offering amenities equal to or better than a development plan incorporating
required automobile parking facilities on the same lot or parcel of land, such
automobile parking may be located on a separate lot or parcel, provided that such
automobile parking facility is:
a. In full compliance with all other provisions of Part 1 1 of
Chapter 22.52; and

ing the suitability of architecture as necessary to integrate the proposed develop-
ment project within the proposed site and the surrounding area, including
appearance of the proposed development from surrounding property.
3. Yards. The hearing officer may modify any or all yard require-
ments of the basic zone wherein a density-controlled development is proposed. In
reaching his determination to modify the yard requirements and to what extent the
hearing officer shall base its decision on whether such modification will:
a. Encourage design features promoting amenities equal to or
better than a development plan incorporating required yards; and
b. Assist in integrating the proposed development in relation to
location on the site and its relationship to the surrounding area. Nothing in this
subsection shall be construed to prohibit the imposition of yards exceeding the
minimum provided in the zone.
4. Landscaping. The hearing officer may require a plan for the land-
scaping of any or all parts of the development be submitted to and approved by the
hearing officer in order to insure that the development will be complementary to,
and compatible with, the uses in the surrounding area.
5. Utilities. The hearing officer may require the applicant to submit
to the hearing officer, and it may be made a condition of approval for a density-
controlled development, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has made arrange-
ments with the serving utilities to install underground all new facilities necessary to
furnish service in the development, (Ord. 85-0195 § 14, 1985; Ord. 82-0003 § 4
(part), 1982.)

F. If any condition of this section is violated, or if any law, statute or
ordinance is violated, the privileges granted herein shall lapse and such approval
shall be suspended.
G. Neither the provisions of this section nor the granting of any permit
provided for in this Part 1 authorizes or legalizes the maintenance of a public or
private nuisance. (Ord. 1494 Ch. 5 Art. 1 § 501.14, 1927.)
22.56.215 Hillside management and signiflcant ecological areas —
Additional regulations. A. 1 . Permit Required. Except as specified in subsection
C, prior to the issuance of any building or grading permits, the relocation of two
or more property lines between three or more contiguous parcels, approval of a
minor land division or subdivision, or the commencement of any construction or
enlargement of any building or structure on a lot or parcel which is in or partly in
an area designated in the county General Plan and related maps as a significant
ecological area or within a hillside management area as specified herein, a condi-
tional use permit shall be applied for and approved as provided by this section.
2. A conditional use permit is required in hillside management areas
when:
a. The property contains any area with a natural slope of 25
percent or more in an urban hillside management area proposed to be developed
with residential uses at a density exceeding the midpoint of the range of densities
established by an adopted area wide, community or specific plan covering the areas
in which the proposed development is located. Where there is no adopted areawide,
community or specific plan, the applicable density range shall be established by the
land use element of the General Plan.
b. The property contains any area with a natural slope of 25
percent or more in a nonurban hillside management area proposed to be developed,
with residential uses at a density exceeding the low-density threshold established
for such property pursuant to subsection E of this section.
B. Intent and Purpose of Regulations.
1 . A conditional use permit is required in order to protect resources
contained in significant ecological areas and in hillside management areas as
specified in the county General Plan from incompatible development, which may
result in or have the potential for environmental degradation and/or destruction of
life and property. In extending protection to these environmentally sensitive areas,
it is intended further to provide a process whereby the reconciliation of potential
conflict within these areas may equitably occur. It is not the purpose to preclude
development within these areas but to ensure, to the extent possible, that such
development maintains and where possible enhances the remaining biotic resources
of the significant ecological areas, and the natural topography, resources and
amenities of the hillside management areas, while allowing for limited controlled
development therein.
C. Exemptions from Permit. Permit exemptions include:
1. Accessory buildings and structures as defined in this title;
2. Additions or modifications to existing residences; provided,
however, that such additions or modifications do not increase the number of families
that can be housed in said residences;
3. Individual single-family residences where not more than one such
residence is proposed to be built by the same person on contiguous lots or parcels
of land;
22-325 Supp. # 36, 2-98
22.56.215
4. In hillside management areas only (these provisions shall not apply
where the subject property is also within a significant ecological area):
a. Issuance of building permits pursuant to a final map where
project grading has commenced in accordance with an approved grading permit,
b. Development proposals which are so designed that all areas
within the project which have a natural slope of 25 percent or greater remain in a
completely natural state, the director shall make this determination using the
proposed development plan, slope maps and any other material he deems necessary;
5. Final maps and development approvals (permits) related thereto
which are in substantial conformance with a tentative map approved or extended
by the county of Los Angeles since December 31, 1978, except as California state
law may otherwise specify;
6. Complete applications for development proposals which were filed
for approval prior to February 5, 1981, except at the specific request of the
applicant. This exemption shall also apply to the refiling of applications which were
denied solely by reason of Sections 65950 through 65967 of the Government Code
and were originally filed prior to February 5, 1981. Any development proposals
within this exemption still must be consistent with the county of Los Angeles'
adopted General Plan;
7. Property located in both a significant ecological area and a sensitive
environmental resource area; provided, however, that this exception applies only
to the significant ecological area regulations and does not apply to the provisions
related to hillside management.
D. Additional Contents of Application. In addition to the material specified
in Section 22.56.030, an application for a conditional use permit for hillside
management or significant ecological areas shall contain the following information:
1. In all applications:
a. Panoramic or composite photographs from all major corners
of the subject property and from major elevated points within the property;
b. Maps showing the existing topography of the subject property.
Commercially available maps may be deemed acceptable:
i. One copy of such map shall identify the locations of all
drainage patterns, watercourses and any other physical features which are customari-
ly found on topographical maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey,
ii. A second copy shall delineate all property having a
natural slope of 25 to 49.99 percent, and a natural slope of 50 percent or more;
c. A grading plan to a scale satisfactory to the director indicating
all proposed grading, including the natural and finished elevations of all slopes to
be graded;
d. The following, if the construction of dwelling or other
structures are part of the proposed project:
i. Exterior elevation drawings, to a scale satisfactory to
the director, indicating proposed building heights and major architectural features,
and
ii. Plans for decorative landscaping, showing the location
of proposed groundcover areas, shrub mass, and existing and proposed tree locations
for common or open space areas not left in a natural state. Such plan shall also
include botanical and common names of all planting materials;
2. In hillside management areas, the following additional information:
Supp. # 36. 2-98 22-326
22^6^15
a. Geology and soil reports indicating active or potentially active
faults at and near the proposed site and the stability of the area within the various
slope categories used in this section,
b. For proposed residential uses in areas identified as nonurban
hillside management areas in the General Plan, the number of acres within the
following slope categories, as determined by a licensed civil engineer, licensed land
surveyor or a registered geologist:
i. Zero to 24.99 percent natural slope,
ii. 25 to 49.99 percent natural slope,
iii. 50 percent or greater natural slope;
3. In significant ecological areas, the following additional information:

document;
b. Proposed natural open areas, buffer areas, or other methods
to be used to protect resource areas from the proposed use;
Such other information as the planning director determines to be neces-
sary for adequate evaluation. The planning director may waive one or more of the
above items where he deems such item(s) to be unnecessary to process the applica-
tion.
E. Calculation of Thresholds in Nonurban Hillside Management Areas.
Density thresholds for residential uses in nonurban hillside management areas shall
be calculated using the analysis of slope categories required by Subsection D2b,
as follows:
1. Low-density Threshold. The low-density threshold for a proposed
development shall be determined by:
a. Multiplying the number of acres in each of the following slope
categories by the density threshold indicated as follows:
i. One dwelling unit per five acres of land within the zero
to 24.99 percent natural slope category,
ii. One dwelling unit per 10 acres of land within tbe 25 to
49.99 percent natural slope category,
iii. One dwelling unit per 20 acres of land within the 50
percent and above natural slope category;
b. The resulting total number of dwelling units obtained by
adding all three categories is then divided by the total acreage of the project,
obtaining the low-density threshold applicable to such project.
2. Determination if Conditional Use Permit Required. If the density
per acre of the proposed development exceeds die low-density threshold of such
development obtained in subsection El above, a conditional use permit is required.
3 . Maximum Density Permitted. The maximum density for a proposed
development shall be that permitted by the adopted areawide, community or specific
plan for the area in which the proposed development is located. Where there is no
adopted areawide, community or specific plan, the maximum density shall be that
established by the land use element of the General Plan. However, in no event shall
the maximum overall density permitted for a proposed development exceed a total
of one dwelling unit per acre for slopes of less than 50 percent, plus one dwelling
unit per 20 acres for slopes of 50 percent or greater.
F. Burden of Proof. The application for a conditional use permit-hillside

significant threats to life and/or propeny due to the presence of geologic, seismic,
slope instability, fire, flood, mud flow, or erosion hazard, and
b. That the proposed project is compatible with the natural,
biotic, cultural, scenic and open space resources of the area, and
c. That the proposed project is conveniently served by (or

is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan, and
d. That the proposed development demonstrates creative and
imaginative design, resulting in a visual quality that will complement conununity
character and benefit current and future coomiunity residents;
2. Significant Ecological Areas.
a. That the requested development is designed to be highly
compatible with the biotic resources present, including the setting aside of appropri-
ate and sufficient undisturbed areas, and
b. That the requested development is designed to maintain water

vegetative cover and/or open spaces to buffer critical resource areas from said
requested development, and
e. That where necessary, fences or walls are provided to buffer
important habitat areas from development, and
f . That roads and utilities serving the proposed development are
located and designed so as not to conflict with critical resources, habitat areas or
migratory paths.
G. Hearings. In all cases where formal filing for a conditional use permit-
hillside management and significant ecological areas is submitted, a public bearing
shall be held pursuant to current procedures. In all cases, however, where a condi-
tional use pennit-hillside management and significant ecological areas is filed and
processed as a single application with a land division case, such public hearings
shall be held concurrently.
H. Director's Report.

one year after the granting of the variance, becomes null and void and of no effect
except:
A. That in all cases the hearing officer may extend such time for a period
of not to exceed one year, provided an application requesting such extension is filed
prior to such expiration date. In the case of a nonprofit corporation organized to
provide low-income housing for the poor or elderly, the hearing officer may grant

structed housing. Because many mobilehomes continue to be manufactured with
an appearance more characteristic of a motor vehicle, however, the mobilehome
permit is intended to insure that mobilehomes so placed are compatible with
surrounding uses, that the proposed site is suitable, and that property values are
protected through the imposition of appropriate regulations and conditions for

Supp. # 8. 1-91 22-356
•
22.56.1020
1 . The age and/or physical condition of the residents is such that the
use of automobile is unlikely, or
2. The nature of the use is such that there is a reduced occupancy, or
3. The business or use has established a viable transportation pro-
gram for its employees and/or customers to use transportation modes other than
the single-occupant automobile. Such a program shall include positive incentives
such as van pools, transit fare subsidies, commuter travel allowances, car pools or
bicycle commuter facilities. Where appropriate, proximity to freeways with high-
occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, bus routes, park-and-ride facilities, people-
movers, rapid transit stations, bikeways, or other similar facilities shall be a factor
in this consideration, or
4. Sufficient land area is reserved or an alternative arrangement is
approved to insure that the parking requirements may be complied with should the
use, occupancy, or transportation program change. Such reservation or alternative
may be waived for certain senior citizen and handicapped person housing develop-
ments where the director finds that it is unnecessary because of the anticipated
permanent nature of such use. If required, the reserved land area shall be so located
and developed in such a manner that it can be feasibly converted to parking if
needed;
B. That there will be no conflicts arising from special parking arrangements
allowing shared facilities, tandem spaces or compact spaces because:
1 . Uses sharing parking facilities operate at different times of the day
or days of the week, or
2. Parking facilities using tandem spaces will employ valets or will
utilize other means to insure a workable plan, or
3. Apartment houses using compact spaces for a portion of the
required parking have a management program or homeowners' association to
assure an efficient distribution of all parking spaces;
C. That off-site facilities, leases of less than 20 years, rear lot transitional
parking lots and uncovered residential parking spaces will provide the required
parking for uses because:
1 . Such off-site facilities are controlled through ownership, leasing or
other arrangement by the owner of the use for which the site serves and are
conveniently accessible to the main use, or
2. Such leases are written in such a way as to prevent multiple leasing
of the same spaces or cancellation without providing alternate spaces; such leases
shall contain other guarantees assuring continued availabihty of the spaces, or
3. Such transitional lots are designed to minimize adverse effects on
surrounding properties, or
4. Uncovered parking for low and moderate income residential
developments will be appropriately screened and compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood;
D. That the requested parking permit at the location proposed will not
result in traffic congestion, excessive off-site parking, or unauthorized use of
parking facilities developed to serve surrounding property;
E. That the proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
vards. walls, fences, loading facilities, landscaping and other development features
prescribed in this Title 22. (Ord. 83-0161 § 66, 1983; Ord. 1494 Ch. 5 Art. 13 § 513.4.

site address in those cases where the mailing address of any owner of property
required to be notified under the provisions of this subsection differs from the site
address of such property. In the case of an apartment house, a notice addressed to

1. The reclamation of mined lands shall occur as soon as practical
following completion of mining operations at successive locations within the mining
site as required by the schedule in the approved reclamation plan.
2. The reclamation of lands affected by surface mining operations shall
be completed within one year of the completion of mining operations on such lands.
B. Disposal of Overburden and Mining Waste.
1. Permanent piles or dumps of overburden and waste rock placed on
the land shall be made stable, shall not restrict natural drainage without provision
Supp.#14,7.92 22-374
2256.1420
for diversion, and shall bave an overall smooth or even profile subject to the
satisfaction of the county engineer or the chief engineer of the Los Angeles County
Flood Control District, whichever agency has jurisdiction. Where practical, such
permanent piles or dumps shall be located in the least visible location at the mining
site.
2. Old equipment and inert mining wastes shall be removed or buried
subject to the approval of the hearing officer.
3. Toxic materials shall be removed from the site or permanently
protected to prevent leaching into the underlying groundwater, to the satisfaction
of the Los Angeles County health department.
4. Overburden and mining waste placed beneath the existing or
potential groundwater level which will reduce the transmissivity or area through
which water may flow shall be confined to an area approved by the county engineer.
C. Re vegetation.
1. All permanently exposed lands that have been denuded by mining
operations shall be revegetated to provide ground cover sufflcient to control erosion
from such lands.
2. All plantings shall be established and maintained in good horticul-
tural condition. The revegetation shall be able to survive under natural conditions,
with native species used whenever possible.
3. Revegetation methods shall take into account the topography and
existing growth patterns and mixes of flora present at and adjacent to the site of
mining operations in order to create a more natural appearance. Plantings shall avoid
rigid, geometric patterns and shall utilize natural scatterings.'
D. Resoiling.
1 . Resoiling measures shall take into consideration the quality of soils
which may be required to sustain plant life pursuant to any revegetation that the
hearing officer may require in its approval of the applicant's reclamation plan.
2. Coarse, hard material shall be graded and covered with a layer of
Hner material or weathered waste. A soil layer shall then be placed on this prepared
surface. Where quantities of available soils are inadequate to provide cover, native
materials shall be upgraded to the extent feasible for this purpose.
E. Final Slopes.
1. Final slopes shall be engineered and contoured so as to be geologi-
cally stable, to control the drainage therefrom, and to blend with the surrounding
topography where practical. On the advice of the county engineer, the hearing
offlcer may require the establishment of terrace drains to control drainage and
erosion.
2. Final slopes shall not be steeper than two feet horizontal to one foot
vertical (2: 1) unless the applicant can demonstrate to the hearing offlcer satisfaction
that a steeper slope will not:
a. Reduce the effectiveness of revegetation and erosion control
measures where they are necessary; and
b. Be incompatible with the alternate future uses approved by
the commission for the site; and
c. Be hazardous to persons that may utilize the site under the
alternate future uses approved for the site.
F. Drainage, Erosion and Sediment Control.
1. Any temporary stream or watershed diversion shall be restored to
its state prior to any surface mining activities unless the hearing offlcer deems
22-375 Supp.#14.7.92
2236.1420
otherwise based on recommendations from the chief engineer of the Los Angeles
County Flood Control District.
2. Stream bed channels and stream banks affected by surface mining
shall be rehabilitated to a condition which would minimize erosion and sedimenta-
tion.
3. Revegetation and regrading techniques shall be designed and
executed so as to minimize erosion and sedimentation. Drainage shall be provided
to natural outlets or interior basins designed for water storage, with such basins
subject to the approval of the chief engineer of the Los Angeles County Flood
Control District or the county engineer, whichever agency has jurisdiction. In
addition, fmal excavation shall eliminate potholes and similar catchments so as to
prevent potential breeding areas for mosquitoes.
4. The final grading and drainage of the site shall be designed in a
manner to prevent discharge of sediment above natural levels existent prior to
mining operations.
5. Silt basins which will store water during periods or surface runoff
shall be equipped with sediment control and removal facilities and protected
spillways designed to minimize erosion when such basins have outlet to lower
ground.
6. No condition shall remain after reclamation which will or could lead
to degradation of groundwater quality below applicable standards to the Regional
Water Quality Control Board or any other agency with jurisdiction over water
quality.
G. Backfilling and Grading.
1. Subject to the approval of the county engineer, backHlled and
graded areas shall be compacted to avoid excessive settlement and to the degree
necessary to accommodate anticipated future uses.
2. Materials used in the refilling shall be of a quality suitable to
prevent contamination and/or pollution of groundwater. If materials for backfilling
and grading are obtained from an area other than the site of surface mining opera-
tions, such materials shall be included and the approximate quantities identifted in
the applicant's reclamation plan.
H. Reservoirs, ponds, lakes or any body of water created as a feature of the
reclamation plan shall be approved by the chief engineer of the Los Angeles County
Rood Control District and by the Los Angeles County health department (Ord. 85-

22^6.1784 Commercial or industrial uses. A. It is the purpose of this
section to provide a just and equitable method to be cumulative with any other
remedy available for the abatement of certain nuisance activities. These include
existing land uses which have become public nuisances or are being operated or
maintained in violation of any other provision of law.
B. Regardless of any other provision of this title to the contrary, the
planning commission may recommend to the board of supervisors the modification,
discontinuance or removal of a commercial or industrial use if the commission finds
that as operated or maintained, such use:
1. Jeopardizes or endangers the public health or safety of persons
residing or working on the premises or in the surrounding area; or
2. Constitutes a public nuisance; or
3 . Has resulted in repeated nuisance activities including but not limited
to, disturbances of the peace, illegal drug activity, public drunkenness, drinking in
public, harassment of passersby, gambling, prostitution, sale of stolen goods, public
urination, theft, assaults, batteries, acts of vandalism, loitering, excessive littering,

lessee of the re^ property aK^ected to appear at a public hearing at a time and place
Hxed by the planning commission, and show cause why the use, building, or
structure should not be modified, discontinued, or removed as the case may be.
D. After such notice and hearing as are required by Part 4 of Chapter 22.60,
the planning commission shall recommend approval or denial of the modification
or discontinuance, or removal of the subject use, building or structure. As part of
any such recommendation, the planning commission shall recommend such condi-
tions as the commission deems appropriate, including those necessary to protect the
surrounding property or neighborhood, to eliminate, lessen, or prevent any detrimen-
tal effect thereon, or assure compliance with other applicable provisions of law.
Conditions imposed may include the establishment of amortization schedules, and
may affect the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the subject commercial
or industrial use and any related uses, buildings or structures.
£. Any such recommendation will be supported by written findings,
including a finding that the action does not impair the constitutional rights of any
person. However, the planning commission may recommend that a use be discontin-
ued or a building or structure removed only upon finding that (1) prior governmen-
tal efforts to cause the owner or lessee to eliminate the problems associated with
the premises have failed (examples include formal action by law enforcement,
building and safety, or zoning offlcials); and (2) that the owner or lessee has failed
to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the planning commission, the willingness and
ability to eliminate the problems associated with the premises.
F. The commission shall serve a notice of its action in the manner pre-
scribed by Section 22.60.190.
G. After receipt of the commission's recommendation, the board of supervi-
sors shall hold a public hearing and shall give notice of such public hearing
pursuant to the procedure set forth in Part 4 of Chapter 22.60; provided, however,
that if the planning commission has recommended against the approval of a
modification, the board shall not be required to take further action and the action
22-390.2a Supp. # 28. 2-96
22.56.1784
of the commission shall become final unless an interested party requests a hearing
by the board of supervisors by filing a written request with the executive officer
of the board within five days after the commission files its recommendation with
the board of supervisors.
H. The board of supervisors may approve, modify or disapprove the
recommendation of the commission, and its action to modify or revoke shall be
supported by the written findings prescribed in subsection £ of this section.
I. The board of supervisors shall serve a notice of its action in the manner
prescribed by Section 22.60.190.
J. It shall be unlawful to violate or fail to comply with any requirement
or condition imposed by final action of the board of supervisors pursuant to this
section. Such violation or failure to comply shall constitute a violation of this title
and shall be subject to the same penalties as any other violation of this title.
K. Hearings on modifications or revocations undertaken pursuant to this
section may be initiated:
1. If the board of supervisors instructs the commission to set the
matter for a hearing and recommendation; or

22.56.1885
be affected by such application or permit, by first class mail, postage prepaid.
2. Such notice shall also indicate that any individual opposed to the
granting of such permit may file a written protest with the director within 15 days
after receipt of such notice by the applicant.
B. Action.
1. The director shall, without public hearing, approve an application
for a temporary use permit for an extended time period when:
a. The applicant has met the burden of proof set forth in Section
22.56.1860 and the director can make the findings required by Section 22.56.1880;
and
b. A written protest to the proposed temporary use permit has
been received within 15 days after receipt of the notice by the applicant, and the
director determines that the concerns raised in such protest are not of general
community interest and can be adequately mitigated through the imposition of
conditions.
2. The director shall deny the application without public hearing where
the information submitted by the applicant fails to substantiate the burden of proof
and the required findings.
3. In all cases where a written protest has been received and the
director determines that the concerns raised are of general community interest, the
applicant shall be notified in writing. Such notification will also inform the
applicant that within 30 days after receipt of such notice he may request a public
hearing before the director by filing any additional information that the director may
require and by paying an additional fee, the amount of which shall be stated in the
notice. At the expiration of the 30-day period:
a. The director shall deny an application where the applicant has
not requested a public hearing; or
b. A public hearing shall be scheduled before the director. All
procedures relative to notification, publication and conducting the public hearing
shall be the same as for a conditional use permit. Following a public hearing the
director shall approve or deny the proposed application, based on the findings
required by this Part 14.
4. The director shall send a notice of the action to the applicant, any
person requesting notification, and anyone who has filed a written protest. Such
notice shall:
a. Indicate that an appeal may be filed with the commission
pursuant to this section; and
b. Be sent in accordance with the provisions of subsection Al
of this section.
5. The decision of the director shall become final and effective 15
days after receipt of notice of action by the applicant, provided no written appeal
of the action taken has been filed with the commission within such appeal period.
C. Appeal.
1 . Any person dissatisfied with the action of the director, may file an
appeal with the commission within 15 days after receipt of notification by the
applicant. Upon receiving a notice of appeal, the commission shall take one of the
following actions:
a. Affirm the action of the director; or
b. Refer the matter back to the director for further review with
or without instructions; or
22-395 Supp. #42, 11-99
22.56.1885
c. Set the matter for public hearing. In such case, the
commission's decision may cover all phases of the matter, including the addition
or deletion of any condition. The public hearing shall be held pursuant to the
procedure provided in Part 4 of Chapter 22.60.
2. In rendering its decision, the commission shall not hear or consider
any argument or evidence of any kind other than the record of the matter received
from the director unless it is itself conducting a public hearing on the matter.
3. The decision of the commission shall be final and conclusive.
D. Effective Date. Where an appeal is filed on a temporary use permit for
an extended time period, the date of decision by the commission on such appeal
shall be deemed the date of grant in determining said expiration date.

outside display or sales of goods, equipment, merchandise or exhibits in commercial
zones shall not be authorized for an extended time period. (Ord. 99-0071 § 12,
1999; Ord. 90-0134 § 1 1, 1990; Ord. 85-0009 § 17, 1985; Ord. 83-0069 § 4, 1983.)
22.56.1890 Conditions of issuance. A. In approving an application for a
temporary use permit, the director may impose such conditions as he deems
necessary to insure that the permit will be in accord with the findings required by
Sections 22.56.1860 and 22.56.1880. These conditions may involve any pertinent
factors affecting the operation of such temporary event or use including but not
limited to:

permitted, the location of open spaces including buffer areas and other yards, and
signs;
4. Regulation of operating hours and days including limitation of the
duration of such temporary use to a shorter or longer time period than the maximum
period authorized;
5 . Requirement of a performance bond or other surety device to assure
that any temporary facilities or structures used for such proposed temporary use will
be removed from the site within one week following such event and the property
restored to a neat condition. The director may designate a different time period

6. Requirement of a site plan indicating all details and data as
prescribed in this Title 22;
7. Requirement that the approval of the requested temporary use permit

proposed temporary use in an orderly and efficient manner and in accord with the
intent and purpose of this title.
B. In addition to such other conditions as the director may impose, it shall
also be deemed a condition of every temporary use permit, whether such condition
is set forth in the temporary use permit or not, that such approval shall not authorize
the construction, establishment, alteration, moving onto or enlargement of any
Supp.# 42. 11-99 22-396
22.56,1890
permanent building, structure or facility.
C. Notwithstanding provisions in this Title 22 to the contrary, the director
in approving a temporary use permit for the outside display or sales of goods,
equipment, merchandise or exhibits may permit a temporary banner limited in time
for the duration granted in the permit at any location on the subject property deemed
appropriate, but in no event shall the director authorize a banner that exceeds 40
square feet of total sign area. (Ord. 99-0071 § 13, 1999; Ord. 83-0069 § 5, 1983;
Ord. 1494 Ch. 5 Art. 14 § 514.7, 1927.)
22.56.1900 Parking facilities — Conditions. A. In the granting of a
temporary use permit, the director may authorize temporary use of parking and
related facilities established to serve permanent uses as follows; provided, that such
temporary usage is specifically recognized in the permit:
1 . Joint usage of required automobile parking facilities established to
serve a permanent use, provided the owner or occupant of the permanent use or his
authorized legal representative submits written consent, and it is determined by the
director that such joint utilization will not have a substantially detrimental effect
on the surrounding area;
2. Temporary occupation by a temporary use of a portion of parking
facilities or structures established to serve a permanent use provided the owner or
occupant of such use or his authorized legal representative submits written consent,
and it is determined that such joint utilization will not have a substantially detrimen-
tal effect on the surrounding area.
B . The temporary reduction in required parking for such permanent use shall
not be construed to require a variance with respect to parking requirements of this
Title 22. (Ord. 1494 Ch. 5 Art. 14 § 514.8, 1927.)
22.56.1910 Notice service procedure. For applications other than those
processed in accordance with Section 22.56.1885, the director shall serve notice of
his action upon the applicant as required by law for the service of summons, or by

tion may also be hand-delivered to the applicant, when appropriate, at the director's
discretion. (Ord. 83-0069 § 6, 1983: Ord. 1494 Ch. 5 Art. 14 § 514.9, 1927.)
22.56.1920 Certain uses on county property — Board authority. Where
the following temporary uses are proposed on property owned by or held under the
control of the county, the department, district or agency delegated authority to
administer such activity by the board of supervisors may assume jurisdiction and
approve the temporary use subject to limitations and conditions as are deemed
appropriate by said department, district or agency:
— Carnivals, exhibitions, fairs, festivals, pageants, and religious obser-
vances.
— Movie on-location filming.
(Ord. 83-0007 § 7, 1983; Ord. 1494 Ch. 5 Art. 14 § 514.10, 1927.)
22.56.1925 Movie on-location filming. A. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Part 14, applications for movie on-location filming permits shall
be filed with the filming permit coordination office which shall approve such
application for a time period not to exceed the time period specified in this Title
22 where it finds that the findings set forth in Section 22.56.1860 and subsection
22-396.1 Supp.#42. n-99
22.56.1925
Al of Section 22.56.1880 have been met by the applicant. In addition, in lieu of
subsection A2 of Section 22.56.1880, the filming permit office shall also find that
such approval will not result in a frequency of usage likely to create incompatibility
between such temporary use and the surrounding area. Where an application is
denied due to frequency of usage, the filming permit office shall specify the
minimum time period between approvals which, in its opinion, is necessary to
prevent such incompatibility.
B. In interpreting the other provisions of this Part 14 in relation to movie
on-location filming, the filming permit office shall be substituted for the director,
and the provisions of Sections 22.56.1840 and 22.56.1870 shall not apply. (Ord. 90-
0093 § 10, 1990: Ord. 83-0007 § 8, 1983.)

to recognize oak trees as significant historical, aesthetic and ecological resources,
and as one of the most picturesque, trees in Los Angeles County, lending beauty and
charm to the natural and manmade landscape, enhancing the value of property, and
the character of the communities in which they exist; and (b) to create favorable
conditions for the preservation and propagation of this unique, threatened plant
heritage, particularly those trees which may be classified as heritage oak trees, for
the benefit of current and future residents of Los Angeles County. It is the intent
of the oak tree permit to maintain and enhance the general health, safety and
welfare by assisting in counteracting air pollution and in minimizing soil erosion
and other related environmental damage. The oak tree permit is also intended to
preserve and enhance property values by conserving and adding to the distinctive
and unique aesthetic character of many areas of Los Angeles County in which oak
trees are indigenous. The stated objective of the oak tree permit is to preserve and
maintain healthy oak trees in the development process. (Ord. 88-0157 § 1, 1988:

the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, or (b) any tree that has been
provided as a replacement tree, pursuant to Section 22.56.2180, on any lot or parcel
of land within the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, unless an oak tree
permit is first obtained as provided by this Part 16.
B. "Damage,** as used in this Part 16, includes any act causing or tending
to cause injury to the root system or other parts of a tree, including, but not limited
to, burning, application of toxic substances, operation of equipment or machinery,
or by paving, changing the natural grade, trenching or excavating within the

tion required in the application by Section 22.56.2090, the application shall sub-
stantiate to the satisfaction of the director the following facts:
1. That the proposed construction of proposed use will be accom-
plished without endangering the health of the remaining trees subject to this P^rt 16,
if any, on the subject property; and
2. That the removal or relocation of the oak tree(s) proposed will not
result in soil erosion through the diversion or increased flow of surface waters
which cannot be satisfactorily mitigated; and
3. That in addition to the above facts, at least one of the following
findings apply:
a. That the removal or relocation of the oak tree(s) proposed is
necessary as continued existence at present location(s) frustrates the planned
improvement or proposed use of the subject property to such an extent that:
i. Alternative development plans cannot achieve the
same permitted density or that the cost of such alternative would be prohibitive, or
ii. Placement of such tree(s) precludes the reasonable and
efficient use of such property for a use otherwise authorized, or
b. That the oak tree(s) proposed for removal or relocation
interferes with utility services or streets and highways, either within or outside of
the subject property, and no reasonable alternative to such interference exists other
than removal of the tree(s), or
c. That the condition of the oak tree(s) proposed for removal
with reference to seriously debilitating disease or danger of falling is such that it
cannot be remedied through reasonable preservation procedures and practices;
4. That the removal of the oak tree<s) proposed will not be contrary to
or be in substantial conflict with the intent and purpose of the oak tree permit
procedure;
B. For purposes of interpreting this section, it shall be specified that while
relocation is not prohibited by this Part 16, it is a voluntary alternative offering
sufficient potential danger to the health of a tree as to require the same findings as
removal. (Ord. 88-0157 § 5, 1988; Ord. 82-0168 § 2 (part), 1982.)

a. In General. When an appeal is filed, it shall be accompanied
by a deposit in an amount determined by the secretary or clerk of the appellate body
to be ample to cover the cost of one original and five copies of the transcripts of the
previous hearings. If the actual cost of the transcripts is more than the amounts
deposited by the appellant, such appellant shall deposit the deficiency. If the actual
cost of transcript is less than the amount deposited by the appellant and no hearing is
held, the secretary or clerk shall refund the difference to the appellant. The appellant
shall also pay a processing fee to the department of regional planning in the amount
of $1,499.00 to cover the costs of the appeal.
b. Specific Procedures on Appeals to Board of Supervisors. If
the board of supervisors does not hold a hearing on an appeal, and no transcript is
prepared, the money deposited for the preparation of the transcript shall be refunded
to the appellant. If the board of supervisors itself holds a public hearing on an appeal,
no refund shall be made to the appellant, whether a transcript is prepared, partially
prepared, or not prepared at all. When more than one notice of appeal from the action
of the commission is filed, each notice shall be accompanied by a separate deposit in
the amount required by this section. Subsequent to the final action of the board of
supervisors upon the appeal, the executive officer shall refund to the appellants a
proportionate share of their deposits as may be necessary to insure that the total
amount retained by the county is equal to the costs of the transcripts of all hearings
held by the commission and the cost of the hearings held by the board of supervisors.

is taken. Such decision is only reinstated if the appellate body fails to act, or affirms
the decision in its action.
4. Fee for Appeals to the Regional Planning Commission.
a. Processing Fee. Upon filing an appeal with the regional
planning commission, the appellant shall pay a processing fee in the amount of
$1,309.00 to be applied in its entirety to the department of regional planning;
provided, however, that when an appeal is filed from a Director's Review of a large
family child care home, the amount of the processing fee shall be $322.00.
b. The fees included in this subsection shall be reviewed
annually by the county of Los Angeles auditor-controller. Beginning on January 1 ,
1992, and thereafter on each succeeding January 1, the amount of each fee in this
section shall be adjusted as follows: Calculate the percentage movement in the
Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles during the preceding January through
December period, adjust each fee by said percentage amount and round off to the
nearest dollar. However, no adjustment shall decrease any fee and no fee shall
exceed the reasonable cost of providing services.
c. Additional Deposits. When a transcript of the previous
proceeding is required, the appellant shall pay an additional deposit, in an amount to
be determined by the secretary or clerk of the appellate body, to be ample to cover
the cost of one original and five copies of the transcripts of the previous hearings. If
the actual cost of the transcripts is more than the amount deposited by the appellant,
such appellant shall deposit the deficiency.

being reviewed. No fee shall be required.
2. When the commission makes a recommendation to the board of
supervisors on a general plan or specific plan amendment, zone change, development
agreement or other legislative action, any concurrent decision by the commission on
a permit, variance, nonconforming use or structure review or other nonlegislative
land use application concerning, in whole or in part, the same lot or parcel of land
shall be deemed to be timely called up for review by the board of supervisors. (Ord.

decision and hear testimony of the appellant, the applicant, the party or body whose

of any conditions. (Ord. 87-0039 § 2 (part), 1987: Ord. 85-0195 § 7 (part), 1985.)

Section 22.68.040 the board of supervisors may declare its intention to designate an
area of benefit by adopting a resolution of intention which shall include the
following:
A. A definitive description of the specific public facilities project, the cost
of which is proposed to be charged to the properties located within the area of
benefit;
B. A capital improvement program with respect to the public facilities
project(s);
C. The proposed boundaries of the area of benefit;
D. Information concerning the method by which the costs are proposed to
be apportioned among the parcels within the area of benefit and an estimate of the
amount of the facilities benefit assessments which will be charged to each such
parcel;
E. The basis and methodology by which automatic annual increases in the
facilities benefit assessment will be computed, assessed and levied, without the
necessity for further proceeding pursuant to Section 22.68.130. If, in the discretion
of the board of supervisors such automatic annual increases are determined to be
necessary;
F. The amount of the contribution or advance, if any, which the county or

publication of the resolution of intention in a newspaper of general circulation at
least two weeks before the date set for the hearing and by mailing copies of the
resolution of intention to the owners of the affected properties located within the
proposed area of benefit at the addresses shown on the last equalized assessment
roll, or as otherwise known to the assessor, or by any other means which the board
of supervisors finds reasonably calculated to appraise affected landowners of the
hearing. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.070 Protests. At any time not later than the close of the public
hearing, any owner of property within the proposed area of benefit may file a
written protest against the public facilities project proposed to be undertaken, or
against the extent of the area to be benefited by it, or against the facilities benefit
assessments proposed to be levied within the area of benefit or against any or all of
the foregoing. The protest must be in writing, signed by the protester, and must
contain a description of the property in which the signer is interested. The descrip-
tion must be sufficient to clearly identify the property. If the signer is not shown on
22-420
22.68.070
the last equalized assessment roll as the owner of that property, the protest must
contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the signer is the owner of the
property. All such protests shall be delivered to the board of supervisors and no
other protests or objections shall be considered. Any protests may be withdrawn by
the owner's requesting the same, in writing, at any time prior to the conclusion of
the public hearing. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.080 Hearing. At the time and place established in the resolution of
intention, the board of supervisors shall hear and consider protests filed against the
proposed public facilities project, the extent of the area of benefit, the amount of the
facilities benefit assessments proposed to be levied within the area of benefit, or any
or all of the foregoing. The hearing may be continued from time to time. If within
the time when protests may be filed, there is filed with the board of supervisors a
written protest by the owners of more than one-half of the area of the property
proposed to be included within the area of benefit, and if sufficient protests are not
withdrawn so as to reduce the area represented to less than one-half, then the
proposed proceedings shall be abandoned unless the protests are overruled by an
affirmative vote of four-fifths of the members of the board of supervisors. The
board of supervisors shall not overrule a majority protest unless it finds that the
public health, safety or general welfare require that provision be made for the
installation of the proposed public facilities project(s). In the event a majority
protest is not withdrawn or overruled, the board of supervisors shall not, for one
year from the filing of that written protest, commence or carry on any proceedings
for the same public facilities project under the provisions of this chapter. If any
majority protest which is not withdrawn or overruled is directed against only a
portion of the public facilities project, then all further proceedings under the
provisions of this chapter to construct that portion of the public facilities project so
protested against shall be barred for a period of one year; but the board of super-
visors shall not be barred from commencing new proceedings, not including any
part of the public facilities project so protested against. Nothing in this section shall
prohibit the board of supervisors within a one-year period, from commencing and
carrying on new proceedings for the construction of a portion of the public facilities
project so protested against if it finds, by the affirmative vote of four-fifths of its
members, that the owners of more than one-half of the area of the property to be
benefited are in favor of going forward with such portion of the public facilities
project. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.090 Resolution of designation. At the conclusion of the hearing, and
provided there is no majority protest or a majority protest is overruled, the board of
supervisors may adopt a resolution of designation ordering designation of the area
of benefit and the establishment of the amount of the facilities benefit assessment
against each parcel within the area of benefit. The resolution shall include the
following:
A. A definitive description of the public facilities project(s), the cost of
which is to be charged to the properties located within the area of benefit;
B. A capital improvement program with respect to the pubhc facilities
project;
C. The boundaries of the area of benefit;
D. The method by which the costs are to be apportioned among the parcels
within the area of benefit and the amount of the facilities benefit assessments which
will be charged to each such parcel:

22.68.090
E. The basis and methodology by which automatic annual increases in the
facilities benefit assessment will be computed, assessed and levied, without the
necessity for further proceeding pursuant to Section 22.68.130, if, in discretion of
the board of supervisors, such automatic annual increases are determined to be
necessary;
F. The amount of the contribution or advance, if any, which the county or
other public entity will make toward the total cost. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.100 Filing of map and recording of notice of assessment as lien. A.
After the adoption by the board of supervisors of a resolution of designation, the
director of public works shall prepare a diagram of the boundaries of the area of
benefit based on said resolution and shall file same with the board of supervisors.
The director of public works shall also file a copy of the diagram referred to in this
subsection in the office of the county recorder.
B. After recording the assessment and diagram, the director of public
works shall execute and record a notice of assessment in the office of the county
recorder.
C. From the date of the recording of the notice of assessment in accordance
with the provisions of subsection B of this section, all persons shall be deemed to
have notice of the contents of such assessment. Immediately upon such recording
in the office of the county recorder each of the assessments shall be a lien upon the
property against which it is made.
D. In its discretion, and for good cause shown, the board of supervisors
may, upon terms and conditions prescribed by the board of supervisors in its
resolution of designation or thereafter, allow the lien of the facilities benefit
assessment to become subordinate to the lien of deed(s) of trust executed by
landowners to secure loans to finance the construction of improvements on the
property within the area of benefit.
E. The director of public works shall file a copy of the diagram and notice of
assessment referred to in this section with the office of assessor. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1
(part), 1986.)
22.68.110 Payment of benefit assessments. After the adoption by the board
of supervisors of its resolution of designation, no building permits shall be issued
for development on any land included within the area of benefit unless and until the
facilities benefit assessments established by the resolution of designation for such
lands have been paid. The facilities benefit assessment shall be paid by the land-
owner upon the issuance of building permit(s) for development or at such time as
the capital improvement program for the area of benefit in which the assessed land
is located calls for the commencement of construction of the public facilities
project. In the event that a landowner desires to proceed with development of a
portion of the landowner's property, based on a phased development program,
which is subject to a lien for the total amount of facilities benefit assessments as
provided in this chapter, the landowner may obtain building permits for the
development phase after paying a portion of the facilities benefit assessments and
making provision for payment of the remainder of the facilities benefit assessments
to the satisfaction of the director of public works. Money received by the county as
payment of the facilities benefit assessments shall be deposited in a special fund
established for the area of benefit and shall therefore be expended solely for the
purposes for which it was assessed and levied. Upon payment of the facilities
22-422
•
22.68.110
benefit assessment as provided in this chapter, the lien which attaches pursuant to
Section 22.68.100 shall be discharged. In the event the partial payment is made
based on a phased construction program, the county shall release the portion of the
property for which building permits have been issued from the lien of the facilities
benefit assessment. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.120 Recordation of notice of pendency of sale or foreclosure. Where
there is a delinquency in payment of the facilities benefit assessments as required by
Section 22.68.110, the county may initiate foreclosure proceedings in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this section and in any and all applicable state and
local laws. If a sale or foreclosure is commenced, notice of the pendency of such sale
or foreclosure shall be recorded with the county recorder not later than 10 days after
commencing an action or proceeding in any court to foreclose the lien of such
assessment. The notice of pendency shall state that the county of Los Angeles has
commenced a sale or foreclosure, as the case may be, and shall refer to and identify
such sale or foreclosure and shall describe the property affected thereby. The county
shall be entitled to recover the cost of recordation of any such notice of pendency in
any sale or foreclosure resulting from such delinquency, and provision therefor
shall be made in any notice, order or judgment authorizing or providing for such
sale or foreclosure. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.130 Annual adjustment of facilities benefit assessment. The board of
supervisors may, annually after the adoption of the resolution of designation and
subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 22.68.040 through 22.68.100, cause
an adjustment to be made in the facilities benefit assessments established by the
resolution. The adjustments may reflect increases or decreases in the actual cost of
the public facilities project or if the public facilities project has not yet been
constructed then the estimated cost of the proposed capital improvements as
reflected in changes in the scope of the public facilities project or any other indices
as the board of supervisors may deem appropriate for this purpose. The modifica-
tions may also reflect changes in the improvements proposed to be constructed as
well as the availability, or lack thereof of other funds with which to construct the
capital improvements. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.140 Consideration in lieu of assessment. A. The provisions of Section
22.80.100 to the contrary notwithstanding, upon application by the landowner or
his authorized agent, the board of supervisors may accept consideration in lieu of
the facilities benefit assessments required pursuant to this chapter, provided the
board of supervisors, upon recommendation of the director of pubhc works, finds
that the substitute consideration proposed:
1. Has a value equal to or greater than such facihties benefit assess-
ments;
2. Is in a form acceptable to the board of supervisors; and
3. Is is within the scope of the public facilities project.
B. The board of supervisors may accept consideration in lieu of the facili-
ties benefit assessments required pursuant to this chapter where the board of
supervisors finds that the substitute consideration proposed is less than the value of
such facilities benefit assessment after payment of an amount equal to the dif-
ference between the value of the substitute consideration as determined by the
board of supervisors and the amount of such facilities benefit assessments. (Ord.
86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22-423
22.68.150
22.68.150 Termination of area of benefit. Upon the receipt of an application
by a landowner or his designated agent, or on its own motion, the board of
supervisors may initiate proceedings for the termination of an area of benefit by
adopting a resolution stating its intention. The resolution of intention shall state the
time and place at which the board of supervisors will hold a hearing to consider
such termination. If, at the conclusion of such hearing, the board of supervisors
finds and determines that the public facilities project for which the area was
originally formed will not be required in the reasonably foreseeable fixture, or that
the installation of said public facilities project may be financed more effectively by
another method, the board of supervisors may adopt a resolution declaring the area
of benefit terminated. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.160 Reimbursement and refund. A. In the event of an annual adjust-
ment of assessment as provided by Section 22.68.130, which reduces the facilities
benefit assessment, amounts in the special fund which are no longer required shall
be reftindable to the current owner(s) of the property as shown on the last equalized
assessment roll in proportion to the amount of the original payments.
B. In the event the board of supervisors agrees to accept consideration in
lieu of facilities benefit assessments as provided by Section 22.68.140, the value of
which the board of supervisors finds is greater than the amount of the otherwise
applicable facilities benefit assessments, the board of supervisors may enter into an
agreement with a developer pursuant to which said developer may be reimbursed
for the amount of the otherwise applicable facilities benefit assessments. The
agreement shall set forth the amount to be reimbursed, and the time and manner in
which payments shall be made only from revenues paid into the special fund
created for the area of benefit.
C. Upon termination of an area of benefit as provided by Section
22.68.150, any money remaining in the special fund established in connection
therewith shall be refunded to the current owner(s) of the property as shown on the
last equalized assessment roll in proportion to the amount of the original pavments.
(Ord. 86-0024 § 1 (part), 1986.)
22.68.170 Alternative method. This chapter is intended to establish an
alternative method for the spreading of the costs of certain public improvements
against the lands which will be benefited thereby; and the provisions of this chapter
shall not be construed to limit the power of this board of supervisors to utilize any
other method for accomplishing this purpose but shall be in addition to any other
requirements which the board of supervisors is authorized to impose as a condition
to approving new development pursuant to state and local laws. (Ord. 86-0024 § 1

imposed on a residential development project is based upon the findings and
conclusions of the county librarian, as set forth in the "Report on Proposed
Developer Fee Program for Library Facilities — ^Prepared by the County of Los
Angeles Public Library, October 1998," and shall not exceed the estimated
reasonable cost of providing library facilities for such residential development
project.
B. The library facilities mitigation fee shall be a uniform fee within each
library planning area based on the estimated cost of providing the projected library
facility needs in each library planning area, as follows:
PJarming Area 1 : Santa Clarita Valley per dwelling unit $765.00
Planning Area 2: Antelope Valley per dwelling unit $743.00
Planning Area 3: West San Gabriel Valley per dwelling unit $775.00
Planning Area 4: East San Gabriel Valley per dwelling unit $763.00
Planning Area 5: Southeast per dwelling unit $766.00
supp. # 73, 8-07 22-426.4
22.72.030
Planning Area 6: Southwest per dwelling unit $772.00
Planning Area 7: Santa Monica Mountains per dwelling unit $768.00
(Ord. 98-0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)
* Editor's note: Fee changes in this section include changes made by the county librarian due to increases in
the Consumer Price Index and are effective July 1, 2007.
22.72.040 Annual review of fee. A. The amount of the fee established by
Section 22.72.030 shall be reviewed annually by the county librarian, in consultation
with the county auditor-controller. On July 1st of each year, the fee in each library
planning area shall be adjusted as follows: calculate the percentage movement
between April 1st of the previous year and March 31st of the current year in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers in the Los Angeles, Anaheim
and Riverside areas, as published by the United States Government Bureau of Labor
Statistics, adjust the fee in each library planning area by said percentage amount and
round to the nearest dollar. No adjustment shall increase or decrease the fee to an
amount more or less than the amount necessary to recover the cost of providing the
applicable library facilities.
B. If it is determined that the reasonable amount necessary to recover the
cost of providing the library facilities exceeds the fee as adjusted by subsection A
above, the county librarian shall present an alternative fee proposal to the board of
supervisors for consideration. Such proposal may reflect increases or decreases in the
actual cost of library facilities projects or, if such projects have not been completed,
then the estimated cost of the proposed library facilities. The proposal may also
reflect changes in the library facilities proposed as well as the availability or lack of
other funds with which to provide such facilities.
C. The county librarian shall also present an alternative fee proposal to the
board of supervisors for approval as may be necessary to insure that the library
facilities mitigation fee is a fair and equitable method of distributing the costs of the
library facilities necessary to accommodate the library needs generated by the
development of land in the unincorporated areas of the county among the
developments which will generate the increased library needs and usage. (Ord. 98-
0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)
22.72.050 Applicability. A. The provisions of this chapter shall apply only to
residential development projects which, as of the effective date of the ordinance
codified in this chapter,* are yet to receive final discretionary approval and/or the
issuance of a building permit or other development right and to any new residential
use of existing buildings which has not yet commenced as of said effective date.
B. No tract map, parcel map, conditional use permit, other land use permit or
other entitlement shall be approved unless payment of the library facilities mitigation
fee is made a condition of approval for any such entitlement. (Ord. 98-0068 § 2
(part), 1998.)
* Editor's note: Ordinance 98-0068, which enacts Ch. 22.72, is effective December 26, 1998.
22-426.5 supp. u 73, 8-07
22.72.060
22.72.060 Time of payment of fee. A. No building or similar permit for
residential use shall be issued and no new residential use of an existing building shall
occur until the applicant has paid the applicable library facilities mitigation fee to the
county librarian. In the event that an applicant desires to proceed with development
of a portion of the residential development project, the applicant may obtain building
permits for that portion of the project after paying a proportional share of the total
library facilities mitigation fee for the project to the satisfaction of the county
librarian.
B. The provisions of subsection A above shall apply to payment of the
library facilities mitigation fee for a residential development project if the fee will
reimburse the county for expenditures already made, or if the county has previously
adopted a capital improvement plan or proposed construction schedule and has
established an account and appropriated ftinds for the library facilities to be financed
by the fee. In all other cases, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A above,
payment of the fee for a residential development project shall not be required prior to
the date of the final inspection or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued for
the first dwelling in the development, whichever occurs first. In such cases,
execution of an agreement to pay the required fee or applicable portion thereof
within the time specified herein shall be a condition of issuance of the applicable
building or similar permit. Such agreement shall constitute a lien for the payment of
the fee and shall be enforceable as provided in Government Code Section 66007.
(Ord. 98-0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)
22.72.070 Exemptions from fee. The following shall be exempt from the
provisions of this chapter:
A. Individual single-family residences where not more than one such
residence is proposed to be built by the same person or entity on contiguous lots or
parcels of land; or
B. Additions or modifications to existing residential units, provided that
such additions or modifications do not increase the number of families that can be
housed in such residential units. (Ord. 98-0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)
22.72.080 Deposit and use of fees collected. All library facilities mitigation
fees received by the county shall be deposited in a special library capital facilities
fund and expended solely for the purposes for which the fee was collected. A
separate library capital facilities fund account shall be established for each of the
seven library planning areas. All interest income earned shall be credited to each
account and shall be used solely for the purposes for which the fee was collected.
(Ord. 98-0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)
22.72.090 Consideration in lieu of fee. A. The county librarian may accept
substitute consideration in lieu of the library facilities mitigation fee required
pursuant to this chapter, provided the county librarian finds that the proposed
substitute consideration:
Supp. # 73, 8-07 22-426.6
22.72.090
1. Has a value equal to or greater than the applicable library facilities
mitigation fee otherwise due;
2. Is in a form acceptable to the county librarian; and
3. Is within the scope of the applicable library facilities project.
B. The county librarian may accept substitute consideration in lieu of a
portion of the library facilities mitigation fee required pursuant to this chapter where
he or she finds that the substitute consideration proposed is less than the value of the
required fee but is in a form acceptable to the county librarian and is within the scope
of the applicable library facilities project. Such substitute consideration may be
accepted by the county librarian only after payment of an amount equal to the
difference between the value of the substitute consideration, as solely determined by
the county librarian, and the amount of the otherwise required fee. (Ord. 98-0068 § 2
(part), 1998.)
22.72.100 Reimbursement. The provisions of Section 22.72.090 shall not
prevent the execution of a reimbursement agreement between the county and a
developer for that portion of the cost of library facilities paid by the developer which
exceeds the need for the library facilities attributable to and reasonably related to the
development. (Ord. 98-0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)
22.72.110 Alternative method. This chapter is intended to establish an
alternative method for the financing of public library facilities, the need for which is
generated directly or indirectly by a residential development project or projects. The
provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to limit the power of the county to
utilize any other method for accomplishing this purpose but shall be in addition to
any other fees or requirements which the board of supervisors is authorized to
impose as a condition to approving new development pursuant to state and local
laws. (Ord. 98-0068 § 2 (part), 1998.)

APPENDIX 1
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY FOR ORDINANCE 1494
The provisions of Ordinance 1 494, originally adopted on September 1 2, 1 927, have
been frequently changed and updated. Often, outdated material has not been
repealed; instead, the provisions have been kept current by many detailed amend-
ments. Present provisions are based on language set out in Ord. 5447, passed
December 13, 1949, which amended Ord. 1494 in its entirety and initiated a new
section numbering scheme, but which left unrepealed a group of earlier amend-
ments, from Ord. 1525 to Ord. 5445; among these are early regulations for zoned
districts. It is for these reasons that full legislative history notes are not given
following the text of each section of Ord. 1494 set out in Title 22. Current amend-
ments to maps for zoned districts are set out only in the complete Ordinance List
and Disposition Table at Volume 8 of this code.
The table set out in this Appendix 1 attempts to include all ordinance information
concerning each section number presently or formerly in Ord. 1 494, although some
information may be missing. Ordinances with earliest passage dates are listed
before later ordinances and repealing ordinances have been supplied for continuity.
For example: Section X In 1494 (appeared in original Ord. 1494);
amended by Ords. A; B; C; repealed by Ord.
D.
Added by Ord. E; renumbered to be § XX by
Ord. F. (Further data listed under Section
XX.)
Section Y Added by Ord. G; amended by H, I.* (No
record of repeal or renumbering.)
Section Z Renumbered from § P by Ord. Q (see entry
under Section P for early history).
*An asterisk means that informatibh is missing, or that the particular section
number has not been amended or kept current.
Beginning with Ord. 12377, ordinances adding or making changes to particular
zoning sections are noted in the legislative history at the end of each section; repeal
information continues to be maintained in this Appendix 1.
To find the location of a particular section of Ord. 1494 in Title 22, consult
Appendix 2. For example: Section 22.20.170 derives from Ord. 1494 Section 212;
then, consulting this Appendix 1, the entry under Section 212 shows all ordinances
affecting that section since its enactment.
