Peninsula Village Overlay Zone, Rolling Hills Estates

On May 8, 2007, the Rolling Hills Estates City Council held a meeting to receive updates on the status of the Peninsula Village Overlay Zone (PVOZ), the outcome of the public workshop held on March 19, 2007, and additional traffic engineering analysis. As a result of these discussions, the City Council reduced the size of the PVOZ by eliminating the area along “Little” Silver Spur Road; and revising the alternative proposals to be analyzed in the draft PEIR to a maximum of four hundred fifty (450) or three hundred seventy-five (375) units. One hundred thirty-three (133) units have already been approved by the City.

According to the Palos Verdes Peninsula News, on May 22, 2007, the Rolling Hills Estates City Council directed its Staff to prepare a moratorium ordinance to temporarily halt development applications in the Peninsula Village area. The City Council is scheduled to consider this ordinance on June 12, 2007. Accordingly, Mayor Long and Councilman Wolowicz asked Staff to prepare a resolution in support of the moratorium for the City Council’s consideration. Staff has prepared said resolution (see attachments) and is recommending that the City Council adopt the draft resolution this evening, prior to the June 12, 2007, Rolling Hills Estates City Council meeting. It should also be noted that the City of Rolling Hills Estates will host another public workshop on the revised proposal on a future date to be determined.
