Staff Coordinator: Abigail Harwell, Assistant Planner ~ RECOMMENDATION Introduce Ordinance No. _, approving a correction to the City's Official Zoning Map, whereby 12 properties within the Portuguese Bend community were incorrectly identified with rs-2 zoning on the recent digitized version of the Official Zoning Map, whereas the correct zoning for the 12 properties is rs-1 . BACKGROUND On November 1, 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 528, which instated an updated digitized Zoning Map as the City's Official Zoning Map. The updated Zoning Map, through the digitized use of color and refined lines, provides a much clearer reading of the City's zoning districts, overlays and special districts. The updated Zoning Map went into effect on December 2, 2011 and has proven to be much more user-friendly to residents, applicants and Staff alike. Recently, it came to Staff's attention that some residential properties within the Portuguese Bend area had been incorrectly identified with a rs-2 zoning district on the new Zoning Map. Specifically, the boundary line between the rs-1 and rs-2 zoning districts was placed in the wrong location on the new map. An ordinance is being introduced tonight to correct this inadvertent error. DISCUSSION The digitized Zoning Map that was adopted by the City Council last year made no changes to the zoning boundaries but did provide a clearer, more refined version of the City's original Zoning Map that was last revised (see attached) in 1986. Staff recently noticed that an area in the northern portion of the Portuguese Bend community involving 12 properties was incorrectly labered with rs-2 zoning instead of the rs-1 zoning shown for the

City Council Meeting Revised Official Zoning Map February 7,2012 12 properties on the 1986 Zoning Map. The mistake occurred because the boundary line between rs-2 and rs-1 within this area was difficult to ascertain and distinguish from the more noticeable Equestrian overlay area boundary line located in the same area. In order to correct this error as soon as possible, Staff is recommending that the City Council introduce an Ordinance that corrects the Official Zoning Map so that the 12 properties incorrectly identified with rs-2 zoning are correctly zoned rs-1 by adjusting the boundary line between the rs-1 and rs-2 zoning districts, as shown on the attached graphic.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Public Notice The Council's approval of a corrected Zoning Map does not require a public notice or public hearing since the Council's action is not amending the Zoning Map but is simply correcting the zoning map to match the previously adopted 1986 Zoning Map.
CONCLUSION Based upon the discussion above, Staff recommends that the Council introduce Ordinance No. _, approving the corrected Official Zoning Map to include the adjusted zoning district boundary line between rs-1 and rs-2 in the Portuguese Bend residential area.

ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES TO REVISE THE CITY'S OFFICIAL DIGITIZED ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES TO CORRECT AN ERRORONOUS ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARY LINE. WHEREAS, on November 1, 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 528, accepting the updated digitized Zoning Map as the City's Official Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, on December 2, 2011, the updated digitized Official Zoning Map went into effect; and WHEREAS, after its adoption, City Staff ascertained that the City's updated digitized Official Zoning Map incorrectly designated an area within the Portuguese Bend Community as rs-2 so that the zoning of the affected area does not match the original 1986 Zoning Map, which designated the area as rs-1. Accordingly, an additional revision to the Official Zoning map is necessary to adjust the zoning district boundary line to its original correct location and correct the zoning designation; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY' COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The Official digitized Zoning Map, as previously adopted by Ordinance No. 528, shall be corrected to adjust the zoning district boundary line in the Portuguese Bend area so that City's Official Zoning Map correctly identifies this area as "rs-1" rather than "rs-2." SECTION 2: The revised digitized Zoning Map as set forth in Exhibit 'A' hereto shall be the Official Zoning Map of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this _
day of December 2012.
