Mr. William A. Ross, 1413 Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, stated that Mr. Anastasi was out of the state and had asked for continuation of this hearing for about 30 days. Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman Van Vranken, that this hearing on Precise Plan No. 5 -78 be continued until November 21, 1978. Motion carried. b. Hearing on proposed Precise Plan No. 6 -78 for 9 -unit development at 814 -818 Main Street by Oak Condominiums Partnership The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for the hearing on subject proposed development and inquired of the Clerk if proper notice of the hearing had been given. The Clerk replied that affidavits of publishing and mailing the notice were in the City Clerk's files. The Mayor stated these files would become a part of this hearing. The Mayor then inquired if any written communications had been received, to which the Clerk replied that none had been received. City Manager Jones advised that Planning Director Loverde was absent because of a death in the family, that Planning Commissioner Pete Charland was present and would answer questions of the Council. Mr. Jones described the proposed Precise Plan, that the Planning Commission recommended the adoption of said plan with conditions set forth in its Resolution No. 964 and that the Negative Declaration be certified. Council and staff discussed the matter of requiring a dog run on the grounds as an animal control measure. XgSlo The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak in regard to this Precise Plan. Mr. David Larson, 1020 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, developer responded to Counci s inquiries, stated that pets are not banned from the developments but very few tenants choose to have pets. Planning Commissioner Charland stated the basic objection of the Planning Commis- sion tote dog run provision was that the developers would be penalized by requiring that they do something others were not required to do, not only in the R -3 areas, but in the R -1 . Stated the City has a leash law and other ordinances for control of animals. Further stated the Commission felt that if dog runs or other specific animal control areas were to become a requirement, that these provisions should be in an ordinance rather than in a precise plan and that the subject should be studied, and if necessary, an ordinance brought into effect to not only affect one property owner, but the other developers that will be coming up in the future. Mr. Fred Campbell, Oak Meadows Condominiums Home Owners Association, statecIthere were 24 units fully occupied containing only one cat and one dog; that generally people who buy condominiums want freedom to travel without the respon- sibilities of animal care. There being no other response, motion was made by Councilman Bue, seconded by Councilman Van Vranken, that the hearing be closed. Motion carried. After further discussion by staff, and there being no objections, the Mayor ordered that a study be made by staff, communicating with the Planning Commission, regarding the requirements for care of animals in condominium developments.
