Some actual verbage from The Marymount Plan's Initiative Language

Attachment F of The Marymount Plan Initiative contains 171 General Conditions of the Campus Requirements.

Each item states what is to be done during all construction phases and what can be done at the College after the full Marymount Plan is completed.

However, according to the Campus Specific Plan's municipal code being sought for approval along with the rest of the initiative, is this written statement:

17.38.100.040
"Development within the Specific Plan area shall be subject to the Campus Requirements listed in Attachment F, which include provisions relating to restrictions and limitations upon development and operations within the Specific Plan. The Campus Requirements are on file in the office of the director. The city shall have available to it for enforcing the Campus Requirements the same enforcement mechanisms as it would have for conditions of approval of other development projects, except that the city shall not have the power to revoke, repeal, amend or stay the Specific Plan or any of all of its components. The city may also substitute equivalent measures, without the need for a vote of the people, subject to the consent of the Campus owner."

So in essence, no matter what Marymount contends it must do with the General Conditions of the Campus Requirements portion of the Campus Specific Plan Zone, it has the authority to change just about anything it wishes, if I am reading the documents correctly.

With approval of the Initiative by voters also comes the following Technical Amendments to Title 17 of the Municipal Code

"Title 17 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code (RPVMC) is hereby amended to create and include Sections 17.96.1202 as follows:

17.96.1202 - Campus Specific Plan
"Campus Specific Plan" means the development standards, regulations, and conditions governing Specific Plan Zone V, which apply to the property described herein, and which plan is more particularly set forth in the Campus Specific Plan adopted by the people of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes at an election called for the purpose of enacting this measure, that is on file in the office of the director.

C. Amendment to Maps
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes Zoning Map and all related zoning maps also are amended to change the zone for the Campus from the current Institutional (I) District to Specific Plan District V and are amended to substitute the diagram in Attachment C for the area of such maps that depicts the Campus, and to included the notation "Specific Plan District V is subject only to provisions of section 17.38.100 of this Code and the Campus Specific Plan."

D. Zoning Code; Conflicts with Specific Plan

Except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in the Specific Plan, the standards and definitions of the Specific Plan shall govern in lieu of any provisions of the City or Ranchos (sp) Palos Verdes Municipal Code and all related zoning regulations and definitions that conflict with any provision of the Specific Plan."

What "D. Zoning Codes; Conflicts with Specific Plan" reads to me is that Marymounts Campus Specific Plan Zone and its Specific Plan District restrict oversight by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and awards almost unlimited abilities to alter plans for the campus, based only on the desires of Marymount administrators, supporters, donors, and any other entity Marymount chooses to represent interests at the campus of Marymount College.

I believe I am correct in my opinion, but I would like a far greater brain to help me confirm that what is written in the measure is what I assert would happen if voters approve the forthcoming ballot measure.
