Rolling Hills Estates wants school district to use caution on Peninsula High lights
The city of Rolling Hills Estates wants the Palos Verdes Peninsula school district to proceed with caution on a proposal for football stadium lighting at a local high school.
In the third hearing in three weeks for a plan to use private funds to erect lights at Peninsula High School, the City Council on Tuesday voted to ask the school board to perform an environmental review and deal with any concerns of neighbors.
The Rancho Palos Verdes council last month took similar action, just two days before the board of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District voted to let a group of parents and alumni raise funds for the lights.
Council members in Rolling Hills Estates stressed that they didn’t “step on any toes,” as Judy Mitchell put it. But they said city planning staff could provide experience in dealing with the issue.
Under state law, the school board could vote to exempt the project at the Rolling Hills Estates campus from city review.
The board has given only conceptual approval to the lighting proposal, along with the fundraising authorization.
