Honorable Stacey Armarto
Mayor, City of Hermosa Beach
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885
RE: Formal complaint against the City of Hermosa Beach for police misconduct and conspiracy
Dear Mayor Armato:
I am submitting a formal complaint against the City of Hermosa Beach for police misconduct and conspiracy in violating my rights as declared in
Article I, Section 28 of the Constitution of California.
During my 2017 campaign for City Council, LT. Landon Phillips knowingly made false, incomplete and misleading statements in a October 18, 2017
Easy Reader article, which effectively ended my run for City Council, and seriously damaging my reputation in our community. His statement “there
was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case” was a lie to cover up police misconduct.
Even with the refinements to the Public Records Request process from the Chris Miller “Standing Room” incident, I still have no records for nearly
an eight-month period from March 16, 2014 to November 10, 2014, and neither the Police Department nor City Prosecutor’s Office will discuss the
details of my case. Court documents list SGT. Ramirez, OFC. McDermott and DET. Smith as witnesses, and I have not been provided the
investigation report from DET. Smith.
The fact the City will not provide nor discuss the records of investigation from DET. Smith only further substantiates my allegation of police
misconduct by the Hermosa Beach Police Department. If there “was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case,” then there should not
be an issue of releasing the case file, and/or discussing the details of the case.
This is a stalking case, not a mutual combat case, and as in most stalking cases the victim is unaware of the stalking until it is too late. On March 15,
2014 at 6:15pm on a patio at Pier Plaza, Thomas “TJ” Powers stalked, ambushed and violent attack me in a premeditated orchestrated assault
involving multiple people. This attack came without warning or provocation and began with a cowardly and dangerous sucker punch while I was
seated, which was followed by a kill shot while I was down and defenseless. As a result of this attack I sustained permanent spinal injuries, and still
endure chronic cervical and thoracic pain. Here is the video of Powers “in fear of his life, and acting in self-defense:” https://youtu.be/quHMaiMv_n0
Based on the evidence and circumstances of this case, the perpetrator’s father Thomas F. Powers formerly of SFPD, contact Police Chief Papa
regarding his son’s felony PC 245(a)(4), and then she conspired with other police officers to report the felonious attack as a mutual combat fight,
and then bury the case from prosecution. The motive for this conspiracy was to prevent revocation of Thomas “TJ” Powers’ Real Estate License.
Over seven months after the attack, Councilman Fangary requested before City Council the Police Chief address this case along with three other
cases. It was only then, the newly contracted Redondo Beach City Prosecutor’s Office filed my case. However I was excluded from any investigation
from the detectives and prosecutors. Additionally material video evidence was suppressed, and there was an arrangement for a summons in lieu of
an arrest warrant for Powers. Also I was purposefully misled as to the original criminal charges, and the subsequent plea bargain. Finally and most
importantly, I was denied my right to giving a victim impact statement at sentencing. Clearly Powers received preferential treatment as a cop’s son.
There is overwhelming evidence to support my allegations, and justify an independent serious internal investigation in accordance with the OIR
Group report, which followed the Chris Miller settlement. I am looking forward to the finding of the truth, clearing my name and reputation of all
the malicious false allegations, and seeing justice done. I believe justice should be harsh, especially for those who denied it to others.

Subject: Fwd: CEQA initial-study for 27th street arterial truck route
Dear Mr Jenkins,
On August 19, 2019 the Supreme Court of California reversed and remanded, finding that
changes capable of causing indirect physical changes in the environment such as construction
and changes in citywide traffic patterns, should trigger a CEQA review on the potential
environmental impacts.
I do not believe Mr. Robertson’s statements saying that the city has taken no discretionary
action on 27th and therefore there was no need for either a CEQA initial study, a Negative
Declaration, or an EIR relating to the consequent change of 27th into a defacto downtown truck
route was correct or founded in law.
The action does not have to be on 27th to affect 27th. Changes to citywide truck patterns can
affect 27 significantly given the limited east/west routes.
Significant Changes to traffic patterns for heavy trucks must considered especially when the
cumulative effects of multiple projects concentrate an impact like what is happening on 27th.
Can you PLEASE explain how items 1-3 in the attached email below ARE NOT discretionary
actions (or projects) by the city that directly led to a material & unintended changes in heavy
truck traffic patterns citywide AND in significant environmental impacts on 27th; by both
causing and allowing 27th to be used as an arterial truck route instead of a local collector road.
A significant portion of these trucks are using 27th as an defacto truck route downtown and it’s
reasonable to assume a significant portion of the cause is the cities discretionary actions listed in
1-3 below
1. The Pier Avenue renovations that have made pier Ave more
customer friendly but very unfriendly to trucks causing them to look
for easier routes to Hermosa Ave and Plaza businesses. These has
discouraged truck drivers arriving from North or East of the city from
using the most direct route to Hermosa Ave and Plaza businesses, the
Pier Ave Truck Route.
2. Large Trucks arriving from the South of the City or via 190th are
impeded by the pinch point berms on the Hermosa side of the Border
on Herondo (aka 190th) that restrict turning radius. The AVP tourney
site manager said these berms prevent his large trucks from using
Herondo to Hermosa Ave to access the central business district unless
the heavy trucks drive over the berm. The Plaza hotel contractor said
the same thing and if asked to use Herondo he would request the
remove the berms. And our own Acting Police Chief Captain McKinnon
raised the same concern about the Herondo berms preventing large
busses supporting the Fiesta from using Herondo. yet when these
berms were installed in Hermosa Beach the city failed to do any
analysis of the potential impact on large trucks and the routes they
used
3. Since the city has had zero enforcement of the direct route laws on
27th the city has both ALLOWED this arterial truck route on 27th
going downtown and SANCTIONED it through a total lack of
enforcement of the direct route laws
I don’t believe Mr Robertson is qualified to speak to these legal issues and as a resident of
Hermosa Beach who has spent considerable time on this issue I believe I am entitled to a
response from the city attorney that directly addresses this issue.
The 9/24/18 letter from the city attorney did not address CEQA nor did it permit 27th to be used
as a downtown truck route since it is not the most direct route.
Our neighborhood is being destroyed.
Our safety is being disregarded.
Our health is being impacted by both the near roadway air pollution and the excessive noise
Noise and vibration thresholds are being ignored.
Property values on 27th are being decimated.
The heavy truck traffic has increased from 1-4 per hour in 2015-16 per Captain McKinnon
emails to one every 3-5 minutes many days.
See additional detail below.

Subject: CEQA initial-study for 27th street arterial truck route
Dear City Council,
Mr Robertson contends there were no discretionary actions taken by the city that would or
should trigger a CEQA study
Please! Look at item 1-3 in the attached email again.
It’s just below the pictures.
The discretionary action does not need to occur ON 27th to trigger a CEQA study on the impact
to 27th.
That’s plain in the CEQA laws generally and especially relating to unintended consequences.
And it’s just common sense.
Can you PLEASE explain how items 1-3 in the email below ARE NOT discretionary actions by
the city that directly led to a material & unintended changes in the environmental impacts of
heavy trucks on 27th; thereby both causing and allowing 27 to be used as an arterial truck route
instead of a local collector road.
Our neighborhood is being destroyed.
The noise levels are 4 times the recommended r2 zone and a serious safety hazard is being
perpetrated. It’s simply unlivible with trucks screaming up the westbound hill in first gear or
slamming over the drainage divot every 3-5 minutes. And the North school project is going to
bring an extra 3000 or so heavy trucks to this intersection over the next couple of years.

Subject: Fwd: CEQA initial-study for 27th street arterial truck route
Our city knows it has created an arterial truck route on 27th street due to the unanticipated
consequences including but not limited to the 3 factors listed below that were clearly under the
cities control
1. The Pier Avenue renovations that have made pier Ave more customer friendly but very
unfriendly to trucks causing them to look for easier routes to Hermosa Ave and Plaza
businesses. These has discouraged truck drivers arriving from North or East of the city
from using the most direct route to Hermosa Ave and Plaza businesses, the Pier Ave Truck
Route.
2. Large Trucks arriving from the South of the City or via 190th are impeded by the pinch
point berms on the Hermosa side of the Border on Herondo (aka 190th) that restrict
turning radius. The AVP tourney site manager said these berms prevent his large trucks
from using Herondo to Hermosa Ave to access the central business district unless the heavy
trucks drive over the berm. The Plaza hotel contractor said the same thing and if asked to
use Herondo he would request the remove the berms. And our own Acting Police Chief
Captain McKinnon raised the same concern about the Herondo berms preventing large
busses supporting the Fiesta from using Herondo. yet when these berms were installed in
Hermosa Beach the city failed to do any analysis of the potential impact on large trucks
and the routes they used
So from the North, East and the South the cities actions have had the unintended consequence of
routing the ever increasing number (and size) of Heavy Trucks onto the remaining roadway, a
local collector road on 27th intended only for truck traffic serving NW Hermosa.
Since there are no trucks arriving from the West these actions affect all trucks coming into the
city.
3. Since the city has had zero enforcement of the direct route laws on 27th the city has both
created this arterial truck route on 27th going downtown and sanctioned it through a total
lack of enforcement of the direct route laws.
Yet Mr Robertson denies these discretionary actions have had any effect changing truck traffic
patterns or causing 27 to be used in a manner it was not intended to be as an arterial truck route
downtown instead of a local collector road that trucks may use to access Nw Hermosa locations.
This flies in the face of common sense.

Subject: Re: CEQA initial-study for 27th street arterial truck route
Mr Robertson,
Your attached response REFUSING to consider a CEQA study on 27th leaves me no choice but
to start with a freedom of information request for your job description and any ethics agreements
you may have signed.
I will publicly present the obvious factual inaccuracies and misrepresentations in your attached
email in due course.
Every resident on 27th who is here during the week knows 100’s of trucks every week are using
27th illegally as a downtown truck route or route to a destination not in NW Hermosa. 27th is
not the most direct route downtown. Pier Ave is the most direct route to the central business
district by any reasonable measure or from nearly any entry point in the city.
Mr Robertson, do you really want to hitch your wagon to the argument that this is not true and
that this is not decimating our quality of life on 27th and putting our safety at significant and
increasing risk. ?
Do you want to pretend 27th is not an arterial truck route instead of a local collector road?
Once again do you really want to ignore the obvious safety, health and quality of life
implications as you indicate in your attached denial?
If so this might be a lot easier than I thought.
You have no data to support your claim 27th is not being utilized as a downtown truck route and
many residents have spoken to this growing problem.
You just sit in your ivory tower and pontificate your vision of what’s best for the city without
presenting any facts. That can’t go unchallenged and that’s the job of the city council and the
planning commission.
I would be more than happy to provide you with a list of residents on 27th that share the belief
that it’s getting worse and is dangerous.
Generally now have heavy trucks running on 27th every 3-5 minutes all weekday long with a
small break at noon.
One more point.
Ms Lowenthal in her denial that there was nothing inconsistent with the general plan happening
on 27th street vis-a-vis heavy trucks failed to mention that the reason this was true.
There was no analysis in the general plan of the impact heavy truck growth on vulnerable
roadways.
I guess if there is no analysis logically there can be no inconsistency.
Very clever but that’s not leadership; it’s denial.
Thank You,
Anthony Higgins

Subject: Fwd: Trash litter & unsightly stadium
Dear City Council
I sure hope someone is asking our Director of Community Development questions like the one bolded
and italicized below.
The answers are difficult but if there are not meaningful answers forthcoming from city officials it speaks
volumes to our cities planning process and oversight mechanisms.
Assumption :
There is probably room to double or triple the floorspace in the central business district if existing
businesses are expanded fully, compliant with existing code.
Question 1:
>
> Does anyone on the council or the planning commission understand what the total capacity of
commercial floor space in the central busines is compared to the existing floor space?
>
> What is the percentage of existing to potential floor space?
>
Question 2
How many more customers and trucks, noise, cars and trash would growth to full capacity add?
What are the numbers?
Question 3
>
> How many more special events and city promotional events like teen challenge or the fiesta will the
city have to add to provide the customer base?
How many customers of what economic demographic would be needed to support this expansion?
How much more traffic, trash, noise and pollution.
Question 4:
What changes to our road infrastructure can mitigate and spread the impact of the additional traffic,
noise and pollution and what are the current plans to address this?
Identify the impacts. The general plan does not speak to the impacts of heavy trucks at all.
Put a number on it and speak specifically and forthrightly with the residents about the sacrifices
certain vulnerable neighborhoods will have to make and the changes to the city plan that would be
required to mitigate impacts.
Don’t tell me you don’t have the skill set to make reasonable planning estimates.
Thank you

Regular Meeting of September 10, 2019
EXTENSION OF AGREEMENT WITH THE HERMOSA BEACH
YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE TO PROVIDE A COED YOUTH
BASKETBALL LEAGUE FOR THE UPCOMING 2019/2020
REGULAR AND OPTIONAL SUMMER SEASON
(Community Resources Manager Kelly Orta)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Hermosa Beach
Youth Basketball League agreement,authorizing the last of two one-year extensions,to coordinate
and manage the 2019-2020 coed youth basketball league and optional summer season.
Executive Summary:
For over 30 years,the Hermosa Beach Youth Basketball League (HBYBL)has managed and
operated the coed youth basketball league each winter for South Bay children in grades kindergarten
through eighth.Practices,games,and other league-related activities take place predominately at the
indoor gymnasium located at the Community Center.Following a series of Requests for Proposals
(RFPs)issued in 2016 and 2017,HBYBL has demonstrated its commitment to providing a quality
youth sports program that has a strong leadership team focused on the sustainability of the league
and the sportsmanship of its participants.Its current agreement with the City allows a final one-year
extension,which if approved,will expire following a summer league in July 2020.Overall,staff is
pleased with the positive changes HBYBL has continued to make to its organization and
recommends approval of this one-year extension.
Background:
For over 30 years,HBYBL has managed and operated the coed basketball league each winter for
South Bay youth in grades kindergarten through eighth.This league holds its events primarily in the
Community Center gymnasium.Outdoor basketball courts and the Valley School gymnasium are also
occasionally utilized for games and practices,as necessary.Each season,the league provides
organized play for approximately 750 children.Most participants are Hermosa Beach residents with
some residing in neighboring cities.
In Fall 2013,staff found that HBYBL was utilizing City facilities for its league activities without a

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0582
In Fall 2013,staff found that HBYBL was utilizing City facilities for its league activities without a
formal agreement in place.The City entered into an agreement with HBYBL in November 2013 for a
two-year term,expiring at the end of the 2015-2016 season.During this time,questions arose
regarding the league’s handling of disciplinary situations,its financial practices,and overall
communication with league participants.At its expiration,a formal RFP was issued to provide the City
an added level of oversight with the league and to ensure a quality program for residents.
Additionally,a Youth Basketball Subcommittee was created by the Parks,Recreation and Community
Resources Advisory Commission,which assisted in the review of proposals and selection of a
preferred organization.Following a considerable amount of public testimony and a general concern
over whether HBYBL could make positive changes toward a more community-focused league,the
City Council awarded a one-year agreement to HBYBL for the 2016-2017 season at its meeting on
September 27,2016.The agreement included several requirements it had to comply with respect to
many concerns, including:
1.Expansion of its Board by at least six (6) members that represent different organizations such
as:
a.Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission;
b.Hermosa Beach City School District;
c.Hermosa Beach Education Foundation; and
d.3 additional members who meet the following criteria:
i.Must have a child or family participating in the league;
ii.Must be a resident of Hermosa Beach; and
iii.Must have previous non-profit experience.
2.Improvements to the communication and outreach to league participants and parents;
3.Payment of a refundable deposit at the start of the season;
4.Organize and implement a mandatory coaches training program;
5.Be more proactive about civic and school district outreach for potential assistance/donations;
6.Manage the league strictly based on volunteerism; and
7.Present league overview to the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory
Commission immediately following each season to provide updates and general financials of
the season.
HBYBL quickly reorganized itself and implemented all the requirements into its 2016-2017 season.
Following the completion of the season,another RFP was issued with HBYBL as the only responding
organization.After review of its proposal and implemented changes in the previous season,staff was
pleased with the efforts and positive changes HBYBL implemented and the City Council approved a
one-year agreement with an option to extend for two additional one-year terms at its meeting on July
25, 2017.

Discussion:
Since commencement of its most recent agreement,HBYBL representatives have continued to
demonstrate their commitment to providing a quality youth basketball program to Hermosa Beach
and South Bay youth.Annually,league representatives have met with staff to provide updates
regarding its league,presentations to the Parks,Recreation and Community Resources Commission
on the outcomes of each season,and provide its Form 990,which outlines its previous year’s
financial information.Overall,staff has been very satisfied and appreciative of HBYBL’s efforts and
remains confident that it can provide this same quality of programming for the upcoming season.
Although this extension has the option to expire at either the conclusion of the regular season (March
2020)or following an optional summer league managed at the discretion of HBYBL (likely scheduled
for July 2020), staff anticipates the issuance of an RFP in Spring 2020 for upcoming seasons.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.The
partnership with HBYBL supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies that are listed below:
·Parks & Open Space
o Goal 2. Abundant parks, open space, and recreational facilities to serve the community.
§2.1 Diverse programs and facilities.Offer diverse recreational programs and
facilities to meet the needs of all residents.
§2.5 Shared use agreements.Work with adjacent jurisdictions,the school district,
and private facilities to offer recreational opportunities or activities not available
at City of Hermosa Beach facilities.
o Goal 3. Community parks and facilities encourage social activity and interaction.
§3.5 Health and physical activity.Increase the availability of space and variety of
activities that promote community health and physical activity such as
community gardens, fitness stations/ equipment, and fields/courts.
Fiscal Impact:
While unknown at this time,there will likely be in-kind or monetary donations made at the conclusion
of the 2019-2020 season donated by HBYBL for facility enhancements or projects throughout the City
that will benefit Hermosa Beach residents.Hourly rental fees of $25 will be charged for its use of the
gymnasium and classrooms at the Community Center.

Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Review and approve the partial assignment of the Fiber Optic Cable Easement to Pacific
Carriage Limited; and
2.Direct the City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest to the partial assignment
agreement.
Background:
RTI Infrastructure,Inc.(RTI-I),formerly known as MC Global BP4,Inc.,and the City of Hermosa
Beach executed a Fiber Optic Cable Easement and Associated Construction Easement recorded as
document number 20160974447 on August 17,2016 (Attachment 1).A partial assignment(s)was
contemplated in the Easement agreement as reflected in Section 4.13 of the Easement.
On March 8,2019,RTI-I notified the City that it had installed the terrestrial support facilities (landing
pipes,underground conduit systems,etc.)to support four subsea fiber optic cable systems within the
City,with one such cable system,the Southeast Asia-United States Cable System (SEA-US),
installed as of the date of their letter (Attachment 2).RTI-I is now working on arrangements to install
three other cable systems.Two of the systems will remain under RTI-I’s control and authority.
However,the owners of one of the proposed systems,the SX-NEXT system,require that they have
direct control over their system and thus require a partial assignment of RTI-I’s rights and obligations
under the above referenced Easement.
In accordance with Section 4.13 of the Easement,RTI-I is providing notice to the City of Hermosa
Beach of their intention to assign an undivided one quarter (1/4)interest in the Easement to the party

RTI-I installed the terrestrial support facilities (landing pipes, underground conduit systems, etc.) to

Asia-United States Cable System (“SEA-US”), installed as of the date of this letter. RTI-I is now working
on arrangements to install three other cable systems. Two of the systems will remain under RTI-I’s
control and authority. However, the owners of one of the proposed systems, the SX-NEXT system,
require that they have direct control over their system and thus require a partial assignment of RTI-I’s

A partial assignment(s) was contemplated in the Easement agreement as reflected in Section 4.13 of the
Easement. A copy of the Easement is attached for your convenience.

Easement, RTI-I requests that the City confirm that delivery of a copy of this Assignment, duly executed

REPORT 19-0565
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 10, 2019
REJECT ALL BIDS AND AUTHORIZE TO RE-ADVERTISE FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF BUS STOP FURNITURE
(Acting Public Work Director Lucho Rodriguez)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Reject all bids received for the Bus Stop Shelter Furniture Installation project; and
2.Authorize Staff to re-advertise the project for competitive bids.
Executive Summary:
The City’s Non-CIP Installation of Bus Stop Shelter Furniture project includes the installation of bus
stop shelters and furnishing at bus stops throughout Hermosa Beach.Work includes the removal and
replacement of existing shelters,benches,and trash receptacles,including assembly of furniture,
benches, trash receptacles, and bus stop shelters.
The project was advertised on June 27,2019 and only two bids were received,with both bids
exceeding the available project budget.Based on the two bids received,staff recommends rejection
of bids and authorization for staff to re-advertise for bids with a new scope of work.
Background:
On April 23,2019,the City Council approved the allocation of $158,140 of Proposition A funds for the
purchase and installation of new bus shelters,benches,and trash receptacles on Pier Avenue,
Hermosa Avenue, and Pacific Coast Highway.
On May 14,2019,Council approved an additional $100,636 for the purchase and installation of new
benches and trash receptacles to replace existing furnishing at bus stops on Hermosa Avenue,
Manhattan Avenue, and Pacific Coast Highway.
The City used Proposition A Local Return (LR)Program funds to purchase a total of six (6)bus
shelters,fifteen (15)bus benches,fifty-two (52)trash receptacles,and twenty-three (23)furniture
pieces at a cost of $207,261.The remaining balance is $51,755.These purchases were required to

REPORT 19-0565
pieces at a cost of $207,261.The remaining balance is $51,755.These purchases were required to
exclusively benefit transit.The installation,replacement of benches,shelters,and trash receptacles
are eligible projects under the funding restrictions of Proposition A Local Return.This project is
funded exclusively by the City’s current allocation of Proposition A funds.
On June 27, 2019, the City Clerk advertised the project on the City website and the local newspaper.
Discussion:
On June 27,2019,the City Clerk advertised the Installation of Bus Stop Shelter Furniture project on
the City website and the local newspaper.During the advertisement period the City reached out to
twenty-seven (27)contractors and several online advertisement sites to notify them regarding the
project.The project consists of the demolition and disposal of four (4)bus shelters and eighteen (18)
bus benches,the removal of thirty-seven (37)concrete trash receptacles,and the assembly and
installation of six (6)bus shelters,fifteen (15)benches,fifty-two (52)trash receptacles,and twenty-
three (23)furniture pieces.Work includes,but is not limited to,removal and replacement of concrete
sidewalk, shelters, and benches existing foundations.
On July 11,two bids were received and opened by the City Clerk.The lowest bid was received from
Humphrey Constructors in the amount of $244,350,which was above the project budget of $51,755
for construction. The second bid was received from FS Contractors, Inc. in the amount $328,300.
After the bid opening,in order to lower the cost,the Public Works Department eliminated several
items from the project scope of work and assigned them to the City maintenance team.Eliminated
items included the removal of the existing thirty-seven (37)concrete trash receptacles,and the
assembly and installation of the fifteen (15)benches,fifty-two (52)trash receptacles,and twenty-
three (23)furniture pieces.Public Works staff negotiated the price of the remaining items with the
lowest bidder. However, the City’s proposal was rejected by Humphrey Constructors.
Staff recommends that the City Council reject the two (2)bids received and authorize Staff to re-
advertise for competitive bids.The scope of work for the new bids will only include the removal of
four (4)existing bus shelters,and the installation of six (6)shelters at the locations shown on
Attachment 2.Staff will return to Council for the award of contract for the successful low bidder once
the project is readvertised and bids are opened.Staff will also request approval of additional
Proposition A funds at that time if additional funds are needed for the installation of the bus shelters.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.The Vision
Statement and Guiding Principles adopted as part of PLAN Hermosa describe a future where

ORDINANCE NO. 19-1394
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
AMENDING TITLE 10 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC) OF THE HERMOSA
BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO EXTEND THE TEMPORARY
PROHIBITION ON SHARED MOBILITY DEVICES FROM BEING:
OFFERED FOR USE ANYWHERE IN THE CITY; PLACED IN ANY
PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY OR PUBLIC PROPERTY; OR OPERATED ON
ANY PUBLIC PROPERTY OR RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE CITY.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.Findings.
A. Recent transportation and technology innovations and community interest in new
mobility options have created a new market of both privately-owned and on-demand dockless
electric scooters and bicycles (referred to as shared on-demand personal mobility devices). While
this equipment offers a new form of low-emission transportation options, the technology has the
ability for shared equipment to be placed or left virtually anywhere in the public right-of-way, and
for both shared and privately-owned equipment to be operated by users in a manner that is
considered unsafe to the operator or other users of public spaces.
B. The sudden and unforeseen proliferation of these privately-owned and on-demand
shared mobility devices that operate in the public right-of-way, has created potential nuisance and
safety concerns that are not adequately covered by existing definitions and regulations in the
California Vehicle Code or the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
C. It is the belief of the City of Hermosa Beach that, based on the operation in other cities
and understanding of the current technology of active operators that adequate mechanisms are not
yet in place to prevent such nuisance conditions and ensure safe operation. Therefore, the City of
Hermosa Beach initiated amendments to the Municipal Code to temporarily prohibit the operations
of shared on-demand personal mobility devices that operate in the public right-of-way or on public
property until such time when regulations are adopted and permits are issued to address potential
nuisance conditions and safety concerns associated with scooter and bikeshare equipment.

CONSIDERATION OF A MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT TO
ESTABLISH A TWO-YEAR PILOT PROGRAM TO ALLOW AND
REGULATE SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS IN EXISTING
NONCONFORMING RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT ARE
LOCATED WITHIN COMMERCIAL ZONES
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Introduce the attached ordinance to amend various sections of Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach
Municipal Code,thereby establishing a two-year pilot program to allow and regulate short-term
vacation rentals in existing non-conforming residential units that are located within commercial
zones; and
2.Approve the amendment to the master fee resolution to establish permit fees for short-term
vacation rentals.
Executive Summary:
In 2016,the City Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting short-term vacation rentals in residential
zones.The proposed ordinance will allow a two-year pilot program to allow and regulate short-term
vacation rentals in non-conforming residential dwelling units on commercially zoned properties.
When last considered in March 2017,the City Council provided specific direction to staff on
amending the proposed code text.This text amendment includes changes to address the Council’s
concerns.
Background:
A short-term vacation rental is the rental of a dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for compensation
by way of a rental agreement,lease,license or any other means,whether oral or written to a person
or group of persons for temporary overnight accommodations for a period of less than thirty (30)
consecutive days.Over the past several years,the growth of the short-term vacation rental industry
has exploded.With over eight million units available worldwide,it is estimated that 25%of travelers
use a short-term vacation rental.
These rentals have their benefits such as providing additional capacity to accommodate tourists,

REPORT 19-0510
These rentals have their benefits such as providing additional capacity to accommodate tourists,
allowing an owner to generate income from an under-utilized dwelling unit,and generation of transit
occupancy tax revenue.However,they also come with potential problems,such as,loss of affordable
housing,creation of “commercial party houses,”occupants creating a public nuisance through trash
and noise,and changes to the neighborhood character.To avoid these impacts,it is critical for local
jurisdictions to consider appropriate regulations if allowing the operation of short-term vacation
rentals.
In March 2016,the Planning Commission directed staff to:1)set a public hearing to consider a text
amendment to clarify the existing regulations that prohibited short-term vacation rentals in residential
zones;and 2)analyze the feasibility of allowing short-term vacation rentals within non-conforming
residential units within commercially zoned properties.
The Planning Commission,and later the City Council,conducted public hearings to consider the ban
on short-term vacation rentals in residential zones.These hearings culminated with the City Council
introducing Ordinance 16-1365,on May 10,2016,which clarified the existing City regulations that
prohibited short-term vacation rentals in all residential zones.Ordinance 16-1365 was subsequently
adopted on May 24, 2016.
Staff initially presented the potential to allow short-term vacation rentals within non-conforming
dwelling units on commercially zoned properties to the Planning Commission on June 21,2016.The
Commission conducted further discussions to consider a potential change to the municipal code on
September 20,2016,November 15,2016,and December 12,2016.A summary of the Planning
Commission’s concerns and action is discussed below in the Discussion Section of this report.
On March 28,2017,the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider a text amendment to the
municipal code to establish a two-year pilot program to allow short-term vacation rentals in non-
conforming residential dwelling units on properties that are commercially zoned.At the conclusion of
the hearing, the City Council directed staff to:
1.Report back at a future public hearing with a draft text amendment ordinance to establish a 24
-month pilot program to define, allow, and regulate short-term vacation rentals.
2.Amend the proposed regulations to stipulate that more than three violations of any of the
City’s quality of life ordinances (not just violations of the subject ordinance)within a 12-month
period shall result in revocation of business license.
3.Provide options for Council consideration on the following as-yet-undetermined elements that
require further Council discussion, which include:
a.Management and Operations Plan provisions
b.Posting of an identification plaque at all times and ensuring visibility from public right-of
-way

REPORT 19-0510
c.Provision of a 24-hour/day contact person to respond to calls within 45 minutes
d.Requirement of a private kitchen area in each unit
e.Establishment of a parking requirement
f.Whether pilot program be allowed citywide or limited to specific area
4.Provide written public notice to properties located within a 200-foot radius of each
nonconforming residential dwelling unit on commercially zoned properties.
A draft of this report was distributed to the City Council on August 27,2019.Since circulation of the
draft report,staff has heard numerous concerns about short-term vacation rentals operating in the C-
1 zone. Concerns received include:
·There could be confusion on properties with mixed-use developments.(Residential units in
these developments are not non-conforming,therefore will not be allowed to contain a short-
term vacation rental.)
·The close proximately of buildings in the C-1 zone to the adjoining residential properties.
·Other similar visitor serving accommodations,such as hotels and motels,are not permitted in
the C-1 zone.
In retrospect,staff feels it would be prudent to exclude short-term vacation rentals from the C-1 zone.
Staff has modified the draft ordinance and map of potential sites accordingly.
Discussion:
Based on a windshield survey conducted by staff in 2016,which was later bolstered by two Planning
Commissioners who volunteered to conduct additional research,there are 145 non-conforming
dwelling units on 50 commercially zoned properties in the City (excluding the C-1 zone).Of these
dwelling units,79 are located on 27 properties within the coastal zone.The reason so many of these
uses exist in the commercial zones is prior to approximately 1980,the City allowed residential uses in
commercial zones,under the prevailing practice at the time that any use of lower intensity than the
primary permitted use was still allowed.Now,residential uses have been largely precluded in
commercial zones with the exception of the allowance for mixed-use projects in the C-1 zone.
Coastal Act
The Coastal Act does not specifically require the City allow short-term vacation rentals and the
Coastal Commission has not taken formal action requiring jurisdictions to provide for them in the
Coastal Zone.Nevertheless,the Coastal Commission has noted that the regulation of (including a
ban)falls into the context of the local coastal program and has rejected amendments to Local
Coastal Programs that include a complete ban on short-term vacation rentals.In December 2016,the
City received a letter from Chair of the Coastal Commission (Attachment 4)that states,“…the
Commission has not historically supported blanket vacation rental bans under the Coastal Act,and
has found such programs in the past not to be consistent with the Coastal Act.”While the Coastal
Commission considers short-term vacation rentals as a lower-cost accommodation,there are no

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0510
Commission considers short-term vacation rentals as a lower-cost accommodation,there are no
mechanisms available to the City or the Coastal Commission to regulate prices;however,the Coastal
Commission believes that short-term rentals may be considered a low-cost visitor accommodation as
they often:
·offer a greater range of accommodation types and sizes-making accommodations available to
a more diverse range of groups or families;
·offer shared accommodations or room rentals-making smaller accommodations available to
single travelers; and
·include facilities for cooking or meal preparation-reducing overall travel costs by allowing
visitors to prepare their own meals.
While not all accommodations may be lower-cost,the factors noted above can help to enhance
access to the coast to a broader group of potential visitors.
It is important to note that the City is in the process of trying to obtain Coastal Commission approval
of our Local Coastal Program.Staff believes that program would help meet the Coastal
Commission’s desire to provide low-cost accommodations.
Proposed Changes to Municipal Code
In order to accommodate some short-term vacation rentals in the City while protecting the City’s very
dense residential zones,staff has prepared an ordinance to amend various sections of Title 17 of the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.These recommended changes will not alter the prohibition of short-
term vacation rentals in the residential zones.
The recommended changes to the code have been derived from testimony and direction in the
previous public hearings.The specific code language is in the attached ordinance;however,the
following is a summary of staff’s recommendations:
1.Short-term vacation rentals will be allowed only during the two-year pilot program period.The
start of the pilot program will begin on the effective date of the ordinance (30-days after the
second reading)and will cease automatically unless the City Council either deletes or extends
the sunset date prior to the expiration of the pilot program.
2.The permitted use tables will be modified to allow short-term vacation rentals within the
following zones: C-2, C-3, and Specific Plan Areas 7, 8, and 11.
3.Short-term vacation rentals will only be permitted in existing non-conforming residential units
in the above-mentioned commercial zones.The establishment of new residential units in these
areas is prohibited;as such,there will be no increase in the potential number of units that
could be used for short-term vacation rentals.
4.Prior to establishing a short-term vacation rental,the operator shall obtain approval of an
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/6/2019Page 4 of 12

REPORT 19-0510
4.Prior to establishing a short-term vacation rental,the operator shall obtain approval of an
Administrative Permit from the City,which will be required to be renewed annually.As part of
the permitting process,the Building Official will inspect the site to ensure compliance with the
Building Codes.The applicant will be responsible to pay all required application and
inspection fees.
5.Prior to the City issuing an Administrative Permit,the applicant will be required to obtain
approval of a Management and Operations Plan,which will be kept on file with the City.The
plan will need to include the following:
a.Identify reasonable and prudent business practices that will be employed to ensure the
short-term vacation rental unit is used in a lawful manner.
b.Provide a legible identification plaque within plain view that contains pertinent
information about the unit,such as,the property address,permit number,and
telephone number for the Police Department Dispatch to allow complaints regarding
condition, operation or conduct of occupants of the unit.
c.The name,address and telephone number of a local contact person who shall be
available 24 hours per day,seven days per week for the purpose of responding within
45 minutes to City staff calls pertaining to complaints regarding the condition,
operations, or conduct of occupants of the short- term rental or their guests.
d.Identify reasonable and prudent business practices that will be employed to ensure that
the occupants of the short-term vacation rental unit do not create unreasonable noise or
disturbances,engage in disorderly conduct,or violate any applicable law,rule or
regulation pertaining to the use and occupancy of the short-term vacation rental unit.
e.The owner or their authorized agent shall respond in a timely manner to any notification
that the occupants of the short-term vacation rental are creating unreasonable noise,
disturbances,engaging in disorderly conduct,or breaking any law to halt or prevent a
recurrence of the conduct.
f.Identify reasonable and prudent business practices that will be employed to ensure the
short-term vacation rental unit is used for overnight accommodations only.This shall
include using all prudent business practices to prohibit the rental to commercial party
businesses.
g.Prior to occupancy of a short-term vacation rental unit,the owner or their authorized
agent shall do all of the following:
·Obtain the contact information of the renter.This information shall be retained for
three years and made available to the City upon request.
·Provide a copy of the City’s “Good Neighbor”brochure containing these

REPORT 19-0510
requirements to the renter.
·Require the renter to execute a formal acknowledgement that he or she is legally
responsible for compliance by all occupants of the short-term vacation rental unit
and their guests with all applicable laws,rules and regulations pertaining to the use
and occupancy of the short-term vacation rental unit.This information shall be
retained for three years and made available to the City upon request.
h.Provide a plan to ensure the property shall be maintained free of litter and debris.
i.Ensure that onsite parking will only be permitted on an approved driveway,parking

k.Limit the number of adult occupants allowed to occupy any given short-term vacation
rental unit to two adults per bedroom/sleeping area.
l.Require that all written publications or any website that promotes the availability or
existence of the short-term vacation rental unit include the permit number and the
number of approved parking spaces.
6.Require the operator of the short-term vacation rental to obtain a business license for the unit
(s) and shall pay all applicable Transit Occupancy Taxes.
7.Establish a parking standard for short-term vacation rentals at a rate of one parking space per
bedroom,with a maximum of two parking spaces required,and require all units to meet the
onsite parking requirement.For mixed-use properties,the site will need to provide sufficient
parking to accommodate all uses.
8.Require each unit to have a kitchen, a bathroom, and a designated sleeping area.
9.Subject the violation of any section of this short-term vacation rental ordinance to
administrative citations and provide a provision that allows revocation of the administrative
permit and business license with three or more violations of this ordinance or any other City
quality of life ordinance within a 12-month period.
10.Require any short-term vacation rental that is in operation in the commercial zones at time of
the adoption of the ordinance to obtain all required permits within 180 days or cease
operation.
Planning Commission
As previously noted,the Planning Commission conducted its final public hearing on the text
amendment on December 12,2016.During the hearing,the Commission made the following
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/6/2019Page 6 of 12
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0510
amendment on December 12,2016.During the hearing,the Commission made the following
comments in support of allowing short-term vacation rentals:
·Providing short-term vacation rentals will enhance coastal access,which is consistent with the
Coastal Act.
·This amendment would provide an opportunity to legalize and standardize these alternative
modes of short-term accommodations.
·The City would collect Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from short-term vacation rentals.
·If violations continue to occur at a location, the City would have the ability to revoke a license.
·Various Commissioners clarified that short-term vacation rentals would be held to the same
level of standards as hotels;therefore,many of the issues and concerns related to
disturbances raised by the Commission and residents would both be alleviated and mitigated.
The following comments were made in opposition to allowing short-term vacation rentals:
·All Commissioners had concern about the timing of this discussion and necessary action with
the City currently enforcing its active ban of STVRs in residential zones citywide.
·Preference from various Commissioners was to focus on residential ban and potentially revisit
at a date unknown the discussion of the existing stock of nonconforming residential uses
located within commercial zones.
·Belief that the proposed ordinance is a faulty land use decision because the ordinance may
create an incentive to maintain and operate non-conforming residential units in commercial
zones and that concerns expressed by the Commission and residents may be resolved if the
use and structure were built and operated as a hotel with onsite management,cleaning
services, etc.
·It was expressed that land use decisions should be done at a local level as opposed to state
level.
·Concern that the City may be approving an ordinance based on speculation that the ordinance
will solve a problem and that until the City receives a definitive answer from Coastal
Commission or case law is established regarding affordable accommodations,this land use
discussion should be put on hold.
·It was expressed that coastal access is not of concern as the City has existing hotel
accommodations for visitors,Hermosa’s beaches are open and accessible to residents and
visitors,and parking accommodations are free or reasonably priced throughout the coastal
zone.
After considering all the oral and written testimony provided to them over the four meetings,the
Planning Commission voted 3-2 not to adopt the resolution recommending the City Council adopt a

Code Enforcement Actions
Since the initiation of the 2016 prohibition,the City’s Code Enforcement staff has been actively
pursuing compliance of illegal short-term vacation rentals operating in residential zones.To assist
with this task,the City contracts with Host Compliance,who monitors the virtual plethora of websites
that offers short-term vacation rental listings.Upon finding a new listing,Host Compliance issues a
letter to the owner to notify them of the violation.If the owner fails to comply within 30 days,a second
letter is issued by Host Compliance.Continual noncompliance will result in the City pursuing all legal
remedies, including issuing citations and prosecution. This proactive approach has resulted in:
·Code Enforcement opening 369 cases for unpermitted short-term vacation rentals,of which
resulted in 83 citations.
·As a result of the hard work of Code Enforcement staff,only three cases currently remain
active.
It is important to note that the City is not currently enforcing against short-term vacation rentals in the
commercial zones,pending the outcome of this request.Nevertheless,since implementation of the
enforcement program,the number of short-term vacation rentals in the City has drastically
decreased.
With the recent addition of a second fulltime Code Enforcement Officer,the City will be able to

REPORT 19-0510
With the recent addition of a second fulltime Code Enforcement Officer,the City will be able to
enhance the proactive enforcement of short-term vacation rentals.This will also allow Code
Enforcement staff to quickly respond to complaints.
City Council Direction
The City Council previously continued the public hearing and provided staff with four points of
direction, which includes:
1.Report back at a future public hearing with a draft text amendment ordinance to establish a 24
-month pilot program to define, allow and regulate short-term vacation rentals;
Staff Comment:The ordinance language has been amended to include a sunset clause.It will
automatically expire 24 months after the effective date,unless the City Council takes action to
extend the time or make the regulations permanent.
2.Amend the proposed regulations to stipulate that more than three violations of any of the
City’s quality of life ordinances (not just violations of the subject ordinance)within a 12-month
period shall result in revocation of business license;
Staff Comment:The ordinance has been amended to require revocation of the business
license and administrative permit upon three affirmed violations of this ordinance or any of the
City’s quality of life ordinances within a 12-month period.This includes text in the new short-
term vacation rental section of the code to require revocation and new text in the
administrative permit section of the code to give the City the ability to revoke the permit.
Notwithstanding this,even a single violation will subject the property owner to enforcement
action and administrative citation,as allowed by the Municipal Code,to ensure the City can
obtain compliance with any violation.
3.Provide options for Council consideration on the following as-yet-undecided elements that
require further Council discussion, which include:
a.Management and Operations Plan provisions,
Staff Comment:It is prudent to include this requirement;as such,staff has included language
in the proposed zoning text that requires approval of a management and operation plan.This
plan will specify all reasonable business practices the owner will take to ensure the short-term
vacation rental will not create an impact to the neighbors.This includes maintaining the
property,preventing commercial party businesses from using the site,providing a copy of the
City’s “Good Neighbor”brochure to all renters,maintaining the records of renters for three
years,providing a contact person,specifying the number of parking spaces,and setting a
maximum number of occupants.
b.Posting of an identification plaque at all times and ensure visibility from public right-of-
way,

REPORT 19-0510
Staff Comment:The intent of the plaque is to allow the public an avenue to file a complaint.
The standard size of the plaque will be six square feet;however,the Director of Community
Development may alter the size to ensure it is visible and legible from the public right-of-way.
The plaque will contain the property address,the permit number,and the Police dispatch
number so a complaint can be filed.The Police Department will then determine if an
immediate response is needed,if they should call the contact person to respond,or if the
matter should be referred to Code Enforcement.
c.Provide a 24-hour/day contact person to respond to calls within 45 minutes,
Staff Comment:Staff believes this is an important requirement to include in the management
and operations plan.This will ensure a timely response to an issue,should the City receive a
valid complaint about the operations.
d.Require a private kitchen area in each unit,
Staff Comment:In order to prevent a dwelling unit from being converted to multiple short-term
vacation rentals and to encourage the use of the units as family accommodations,staff
recommends that each unit have a kitchen, a bathroom, and a designated sleeping area.
e.Establishment a parking requirement, and
Staff Comment:To minimize impacts to the surrounding properties,ensuring the short-term
vacation rental has onsite parking is a judicious measure.As part of the proposed ordinance,
staff recommends creating a parking standard at one parking space per bedroom,with a
maximum of two parking spaces being required.As with any new use in the City,if an owner
wishes to establish a new short-term vacation rental,they will need to have sufficient onsite
parking to accommodate all uses.
f.Should pilot program be allowed citywide or limited to specific area;
Staff Comment:As currently proposed,short-term vacation,rentals would be allowed in any
non-conforming dwelling unit within a commercial zone (C-2,C-3,SPA 7,SPA8,and SPA 11)
in the City.One matter the City Council should discuss is whether to limit to a specific area of
the City, such as commercial properties in the coastal zone, or to allow citywide.
4.Provide written public notice to properties located within a 200-foot radius of each
nonconforming residential.
Staff Comment:Staff mailed a public notice to all property owners within 200 feet of all the
commercial zoned properties that have non-conforming residential dwelling unit and published
the notice in the Easy Reader.As an added measure,notice of the Text Amendment was sent
out on the City’s social media accounts and posted to the City’s website.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0510
Fee Schedule
Staff has developed a fee schedule,which is designed to cover the cost of staff time estimated to be
needed to process the applications:$1,735 for an initial application and $1,501 for a renewal
application.This will cover time needed for staff to conduct various inspections of the premises,
review and recommend modifications to the Manager &Operations Plan,review the identification
plaque, research, review and consideration of any violations, etc.
Environmental Determination
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3),which states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.Inasmuch as this is a pilot program that
allows existing structures to change their use (from long term residential to more transient
occupancy),and has strict operational requirements,it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.The Text
Amendment supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies that are listed below:
Land Use Goal 8.A range of coastal-dependent and visitor-serving uses available to serve a
variety of income ranges and amenity desires.Provision of adequate accommodations and
recreational uses can help to enhance both the visitor and resident experience when frequenting the
beach and nearby coastal destinations.
Land Use Policy 8.2 Coastal-related uses.Accommodate coastal-related uses within reasonable
proximity to the coastal-dependent uses they support.
Approval of the pilot program will allow a new source of accommodations that will not only serve the
coastal dependent uses, but will provide visitor-serving uses throughout the City.
Fiscal Impact:
The application fees are designed to cover the cost of staff time needed to process the applications.
The City would also receive Business License taxes and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)from any
short-term vacation rental approved to operate;however,no estimate of the potential revenue has
been undertaken at this point.

MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH A TWO YEAR PILOT
PROGRAM TO REGULATE THE RENTAL OF EXISTING
NONCONFORMING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE
LOCATED IN COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS FOR FEWER
THAN THIRTY DAYS
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Section 17.04.040 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby
amended by adding the following term to the alphabetical list of terms:
“Short-term vacation rental” shall mean the rental of a residential dwelling, a dwelling
unit or a room in a dwelling for compensation by way of a rental agreement, lease,
license or any other means, whether oral or written to a person or group of persons
for temporary overnight accommodations for a period of less than thirty (30)
consecutive days. Short-term vacation rentals are also known as, “short-term
vacation rental” and “vacation rentals”
Section 2. Section17.26.030 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby
amended by adding the following use category to the alphabetical list of uses to
read as follows:
USES C-1 C-2 C-3 See section
Short-term vacation rental - P P 17.40.230
Section 3. Section 17.40.230 is hereby added to Chapter 17.40 of Title 17 of the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to read as follows:
17.40.230 Short-term vacation rentals.
This section sets forth requirements for the establishment and operation of short-
term vacation rentals in nonconforming residential dwellings units in certain
commercial zones.
A. Permit and Operational Requirements. The approval of operation of a short-
term vacation rental shall be subject to the following requirements:
1. Administrative Permit Required. Short-term vacation rentals may be established
and operated only after an Administrative Permit has been approved in
compliance with Chapter 17.55 of this Code. The Administrative Permit for a
short-term vacation rental shall be valid for one calendar year from the date of
issuance and may be renewed annually thereafter, provided that this section
remains in effect and has not expired.
2
a. Prior to granting of an Administrative Permit for operation of a short-term
vacation rental, the premises shall be inspected by the Building Official for
compliance with all applicable Building and Safety codes. Renewal of said
Administrative Permit is subject to inspection by the Building Official for
compliance with all applicable Building and Safety codes, as well as
compliance with the then applicable municipal code regulations regarding
short-term vacation rental rentals. An inspection fee for third and
subsequent inspections, as set by resolution of the City Council, may be
charged for these additional inspections.
b. An application for a new or renewal of an Administrative Permit shall include
payment of all required fees, as set by resolution of the City Council.
c. Short-term vacation rental rentals established under this section shall have
no vested right to continued existence.
2. Location. Short-term vacation rental rentals shall only be permitted in
nonconforming residential dwellings on properties zoned C-2, C-3 or SPA 11.
a. For purposes of this section, a nonconforming residential unit shall mean a
residential dwelling unit that was lawfully established and maintained as a
dwelling unit as of [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE]. If the
unit is converted into a non-residential use, then it shall be deemed the
termination of the existing nonconforming residential use, and thereby the
unit loses any nonconforming status as a residential use and loses any
right to operate as a short-term vacation rental.
3. Management and Operations Plan. In addition to any other requirements for an
application for an Administrative Permit, or any conditions of approval contained
therein, the application to establish and operate a short-term vacation rental
shall be accompanied by a management plan, which shall establish, to the
satisfaction of the Community Development Director, or his/her designee the
following:
a. The reasonably prudent business practices that owner or owner’s authorized
agent will use to ensure that the short-term vacation rental unit is used in a
manner that complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and
permits.
b. An identification plaque posted and maintained at all times, within
plain view of and legible to the general public, not exceeding six
square feet in size, and containing address of premises and permit
number, and telephone number of Hermosa Beach Police
Department Dispatch for complaints regarding condition, operation
or conduct of occupants of the unit. The Director of Community
Development may alter the size requirement to ensure the plaque is
legible from the adjacent public right-of-way.
c. The name, address and telephone number of a local contact person who
3
shall be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week for the purpose
of responding within 45 minutes to City staff calls pertaining to complaints
regarding the condition, operations, or conduct of occupants of the short-
term vacation rental or their guests.
d. The owner or the owner’s authorized agent, shall, upon notification that any
occupant or guest of the short-term vacation rental unit has created
unreasonable noise or disturbances, engaged in disorderly conduct, or
committed violations of any applicable, law, rule or regulation pertaining to
the use and occupancy of the short-term vacation rental unit, respond in a
timely and appropriate manner to immediately halt or prevent a recurrence
of such conduct. Failure of the owner or the owner’s authorized agent to
respond to such calls or complaints regarding the condition, operation, or
conduct of the occupants and/or guests of the short-term vacation rental
unit in a timely and appropriate manner shall subject the owner to all
administrative, legal and equitable remedies available to the City.
e. The owner and/or the owner’s authorized agent shall use reasonably
prudent business practices to ensure that the occupants and/or guests of
the short-term vacation rental unit do not create unreasonable noise or
disturbances, engage in disorderly conduct or illegal activity, or violate any
applicable law, rule or regulation pertaining to the use and occupancy of
the short-term vacation rental unit.
f. The owner and/or the owner’s authorized agent shall use reasonably
prudent business practices to ensure that the short-term vacation rental unit
is used for overnight accommodations purposes only. This shall include
using all prudent business practices to prohibit the rental to commercial
party businesses.
g. Prior to occupancy of a short-term vacation rental unit, the owner or the
owner’s authorized agent shall:
i. Obtain the contact information of the renter.
ii. Provide a copy of the City’s “Good Neighbor” brochure containing
these requirements to the renter.
iii. Require the renter to execute a formal acknowledgement that he or
she is legally responsible for compliance by all occupants of the

iv. The information required in Paragraphs i and iii of this subsection
shall be maintained by the owner or the owner’s authorized agent
for a period of three years and be made available upon request to
any officer of the City responsible for the enforcement of any
provision of the municipal code or any other applicable law, rule or
regulation pertaining to the use and occupancy of the short-term
vacation rental unit.
h. The property shall be maintained free of litter and debris. Trash and
refuse shall not be left or stored within public view, except in proper
containers for the purpose of collection by the City’s authorized waste
4
hauler on scheduled trash collection days. The size or number of
containers and/or frequency of pick-up (if permitted by the City’s
authorized waste hauler) shall be increased if needed to accommodate
the amount of trash generated by all uses on the site.
i. On-site parking shall be allowed on approved driveway, garage and/or
carport areas only. Parking of oversized vehicles must comply with the
provisions of Chapter 10.32 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.

shall be kept free and clear to accommodate vehicular parking for
renters/guests during all times the unit is in use as a short-term
vacation rental.
k. The number of adult occupants allowed to occupy any given short-term
vacation rental unit shall be limited to two per bedroom/sleeping area.
l. The Community Development Director, or designee, shall have the
authority to impose additional conditions on the use of any given short-
term vacation rental to ensure that any potential secondary effects
unique to the subject short-term vacation rental unit are avoided or
adequately mitigated.
m. The owner or owner’s authorized agent shall post the current short-
term vacation rental permit number, as well as the number of approved
on-site parking spaces available, in any written publication or on any

under Chapter 5.04 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, and related to the
Transient Occupancy Tax under Chapter 3.32 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code for the operation of the short-term vacation rental.
B. Development Standards. Short-term vacation rentals shall conform to the following
standards.
1. On-site parking shall be provided as required under Chapter 17.44.
2. A private kitchen area, shower and toilet facilities, and at least one room/area
designated as a sleeping area shall be provided in each unit.
C. Amortization. Any short-term vacation rental that was in operation on [INSERT
EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE] shall cease operations no later than [INSERT
DATE THAT IS 180 DAYS AFTER EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE], unless
said short-term vacation rental complies with the requirements of this Section and
obtains all required permits and licenses outlined in the section.
D. Violations. Violations of this ordinance are subject to the following standards.
1. Any violation of this Section shall result in issuance of an Administrative Citation
pursuant to Chapter 1.10 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
5
2. More than three (3) violations of this ordinance or any of the City’s quality of life
ordinances, such as noise violations, disturbing the peace, or creating a public
nuisance, within a twelve (12) month period shall be grounds for revocation of
the business license and Administrative Permit, in accordance with provisions of
the code, provided the three (3) violations have been affirmed by a hearing
officer in the event they are appealed.
E. Sunset Clause. The provisions in this ordinance shall become inoperative on
[INSERT DATE THAT IS 2 YEARS AFTER EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE]
and shall be considered repealed on that date, unless the City Council of Hermosa
Beach enacts a new ordinance that becomes effective on or before [INSERT DATE
THAT IS 2 YEARS AFTER EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE] and which
deletes or extends that date. No new or renewals of Administrative Permits and/or
business licenses for short-term vacation rentals shall be issued after [INSERT
DATE THAT IS 2 YEARS AFTER EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE] and no
permitted short-term vacation rental shall have a right to operate beyond the term of
the permit.
Section 4. Section 17.38.540 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby
amended by adding the following use category to the alphabetical list of uses to
read as follows
USES P or U See section
Short-term vacation rental P 17.40.230
Section 5. Section 17.44.030 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is
amended by adding the following parking standard to the alphabetical list of
parking requirements to read as follows:
P. Short-term vacation rentals in commercial zones: one (1) space per bedroom, in
no case less than one (1) space per unit and a maximum of two (2) spaces pur
unit being required.
Section 6. Section 17.52.050 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is amended to
read as follows:
With the exception of a short-term vacation rental use approved pursuant to Section
17.40.230, if an existing nonconforming manufacturing, commercial or residential use
is vacated or removed and it is succeeded by another use, this shall be deemed the
termination of the existing nonconforming use, and thereby immediately loses any
vested right to continue. A nonconforming use may be succeeded by a use, which is
itself nonconforming, provided the degree of nonconformity is less intensive (e.g.,
requires less parking or results in fewer dwelling units).
It is the intent of this section to allow for an improvement in the degree of
nonconformity of a use utilizing existing structures. It is not intended to allow the
6
construction of new structures in violation of the provisions of this chapter.
The planning commission shall make determinations as to whether a use is less
intensive upon request
Section 7. Section 17.55.070 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is amended to
read as follows:
Any administrative permit may be revoked by the director or the decision making body
for any of the following causes:
A. That any term or condition has not been complied with;
B. That the property for administrative permit has been granted is used or maintained
in violation of any statute, law, regulation or condition of approval;
C. That the use for which the administrative permit was granted has not been exercised
for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, or has ceased to exist, or has been
abandoned;
D. The administrative permit has been issued for a short-term vacation rental, which
has received three affirmed violations of this ordinance or any of the City’s quality of life
ordinances, such as noise violations, disturbing the peace, or creating a public
nuisance, within a 12-month period; or,
E. That the use for which the administrative permit was granted has been so exercised
as to be detrimental to the public health or safety or so as to constitute a nuisance.
A hearing to show cause why the permit should not be revoked shall be held by the
issuing body prior to the revocation of any administrative permit. Written notice shall
be provided the permit holder at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing stating the
reasons therefor.
Section 8. CEQA. The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach hereby finds,
determines, and declares that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment. Inasmuch as this is a pilot
program that allows existing structures to change their use (from long term
residential to more transient occupancy), and has strict operational requirements, it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will
have a significant effect on the environment.
Section 9. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its
passage and adoption pursuant to California Government Code section 36937.
Section 10. Certification. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and

Subject: short term vacation rental
Hello Anny,
I am the owner of 44 The Strand. I am not against allowing short term rentals if they are used
for people on vacation. My main concern is that even now some units are rented for parties
and celebrations. People get drunk. They are extremely loud. Do not respect private property
(walking through our property at 44 The Strand to access beach). How are the super short
rentals will be regulated specially due to the noise and nuisance issues?

Subject: Short-term vacation rentals in comm zoned properties - comment
Hello,
My name is Debbie Flaska and I live at 735 8th St, Hermosa Beach. I received a courtesy notice in the
mail that the HB City Council will be considering an ordinance that will establish a two-year pilot
program to allow and regulate short-term vacation rentals in existing non-conforming dwelling units on
commercially zoned properties, and that my property is within 200 feet of a property that could be
eligible to contain a short-term rental.
The commercially zoned property within 200 feet of me is already operating as an Air BNB. The host
name is Aaron, co host is Taylor. They advertise 2 properties on AirBNB.com and change the name of
the rooms frequently, but if you look on the map on AirBNB with a zip code of 90254 you will find
it. Currently, one room is called “Private Room by the Beach” and advertised at $80 per night. The
other room is called “The Minimalist Room” and is advertised at $58/night. Aaron is even designated a
“superhost” on AirBNB.
I became aware of it because people were parking in my driveway, stating they were staying at an
AirBNB and looking for Aaron or Taylor, the hosts. So I researched on AirBNB and found their advertised
rooms. I see people coming and going constantly with their roller board luggage. They enter the glass
door marked “777” on Eighth St. People have dumped their pizza boxes in my trash can on the way to
the beach (I work from home, and my trash cans are right outside my “office” window facing the
sidewalk, so I see it happen). There are constantly empty food wrappers, marijuana empty wrappers
and small pieces of trash such as napkins, snack bags in my front yard and driveway that I clean up. I
installed video cameras in my back yard a few weeks ago, and found that I have 2 rats and 1 opossum
that frequent my yard almost nightly. I purchased a rat zapper, which caught one, but still working on
the other. It has no effect on the opossum unfortunately. I also have a video camera on my driveway
and front door, and see people either parking in my driveway, or walking up and down it with their
luggage in tow. If I am home, I tell the people they can’t park in my driveway.
I am not in favor of the proposed pilot program, but if it does pass and you are going to regulate short-
term rentals, I would ask that you designate a minimum stay, such as one week, and require the host to
provide adequate trash bins, maintain a certain standard of cleanliness, and provide parking. One night
rentals at $58/night should be in a regulated motel, not next door to houses in Hermosa Beach.
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the public hearing on Tuesday but will read the staff report when
it is posted online.
Thank you for the opportunity to voice my concerns via email.

Comment Per the attached courtesy letter from you I am requesting a copy of the draft ordinance
for short-term rentals in advance of Thursday's posting. The Notice I received (attachment)
indicated that if I wished to review this ordinance prior to Friday, August 23 I could do so by
contacting Mr Blumenthal. Is that NOT the case? Why the confusion? Well Mr Blumenthal is out
of the office the last two days per his auto-reply email and his designee has not responded to my
request for a draft. I also don’t understand why the city has not made this draft-ordinance
available on the web site earlier to facilitate public comment. I know you are only required to post
it a minimum of 72 hours in advance of the public hearing but how does it benefit the public by
not making it available earlier? Why always do the minimum? Finally why were the specific
properties eligible for the pilot NOT identified in the written communications from you included
below. That just makes it more difficult for the public to provide effective feedback. Finally, the
verbiage you use to identify the properties eligible for the pilot appears to be intentionally and
unnecessary vague. ...[to allow short-term rentals in existing non conforming dwellings]... see
attached. What does “non-conforming” mean to the average resident? Does “existing” include
properties under construction like 5 corners or does this apply to the apartments in the area?
How are we supposed to comment on something so vague? Once again why not post the
ordinance in advance? Why not specifically identify the eligible properties in a way that the
average resident can easily understand? Like an address or a mark on a map? Why say you are
can provide the ordinance in advance of the posting in your attached letter if you can’t or won’t? I
have requested the draft ordinance twice with no response to that question. Do you really want a
meaningful public hearing? If so I suggest you resend the letter to all residents and include the
draft ordinance, a map of the eligible properties and verbiage the average resident can
understand. I strongly recommend delaying the public hearing until this is done and waiving the
3 minute per person public comment time limit unless your goal is to suppress public comment
and residents legal grounds to challenge the ordinance. I’m referring to the last sentence in your
letter. The one in fine print. Thank you Anthony Higgins

Subject: Short-term vacation rentals - OPPOSED
Hi Ann,
I am a ten+ year resident of Hermosa Beach and am OPPOSED to the proposal to allow short term
rentals.
As a renter in a secure building I have seen the impact of having short term rentals made available by
one of the tenants. It was a disaster!
Although some of the short term renters respected the residents, many did not and it made living in the
building a challenge.
Here are a few of the types of experiences that we tenants had to live through:
1. People did not respect that we are a secure building and propped open the security gate for
their friends to enter.
2. Items were stolen from tenants while temporary ‘guests’ were in the building.
3. Random people would knock on my door ‘looking for someone’…it was scary!
4. Parties were a nightmare and it was difficult approaching intoxicated guests that would not
respect our peace.
5. The constant influx of temporary tenants caused a long term tenant (and friend) to vacate their
lease and leave the building.
This is not a comprehensive list of all the negative interactions that occurred due to one irresponsible
tenant. Fortunately, the landlord found out about the unsanctioned short term rentals and stopped it
(and the offending renter moved out!).
Let’s keep Hermosa Hermosa and let hotels/motels/etc. accommodate vacationers.

Matt Steiger

Question & Comments to City Council
REQUEST TO DAVID BLUMENTHAL: Please provide me with the draft ordinance and draft provisions, to
email:fredcnichols@yahoo.com, or the address noted below.
QUESTION:
WHAT SPECIFIC PROPERTIES ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR THIS PILOT?
MY WIFE GAIL AND I OWN:
148, 150, 148 A FIRST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CA. 90254
I AM TRUSTEE FOR AND LIVE AT:
118 MANHATTAN AVE, HERMOSA BEACH, CA. 90254
I AM TRUSTEE FOR:
168 FIRST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CA. 90254
PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN 200 FEET.
ALSO, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW ALL THE PROPERTIES IN HERMOSA THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE BE PART
OF THIS PILOT, OR WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE PILOT.
Our comments to City Council:
As a resident of Hermosa Beach since 1979, I raised two sons's in the city. I am a former Coach of
neighborhood sports, a former Cub Master & Scout Master of Hermosa Beach scouting.
My wife and I are deeply concerned about the safety and the quality of life for our family, our grandchildren
and our neighbors. I have recently spent thousands of dollars on security for my properties due to current
conditions associated with homeless & out of town young delinquents. (I have made multiple calls to Hermosa
PD of "skaters" damaging my property and my neighbors property . We recently had a peeping Tom in South
Hermosa that the police were unable to apprehend. We see no upside to city residents for this pilot program.
We are against short-term rentals of any-kind, residential or commercial, in Hermosa Beach.
• Perhaps the city should encourage the building of more hotels.
• I see what appears to be short-term rentals weekly as I walk the city , on my own street and on the
strand. The city appears to be unable to regulate what is happening now, that I believe is against the
law. How will the city be able to regulate these new units in the pilot program?
Gail and I have 7 tenants, that include single women, and include a family with a baby on the way.
1. If there are benefits to the community that I do not understand as it relates to safety and
quality of life please advise.
2. How will this program be paid for?
3. How will the city get input from the many renters who will be impacted by this pilot
program?
4. How will the city get input from the property owners who happen to live more than 200 feet from the
specific properties?
5. This is an issue for the entire city, not just homeowners within 200 feet of pilot properties.
2
6. We believe this will aggravate / exacerbate the out of control homeless problem in Hermosa
Beach. Short term renters will be less inclined to report crime than residents or tenants.
7. What do our police and fire departments think of this ordinance? Do they have concerns? How will
their concerns be mitigated.
As a landlord, I appreciate the revenue opportunity this provides to the owners of the pilot properties. Although
it may be good for them, it is not good for are already deteriorating quality of life in Hermosa Beach.
Please read this into the record during the hearing on Tuesday August 27, 2019 as I will not be available to
attend in person.
Please acknowledge that this will be read into the record.
I am happy to discuss with anyone on the council or in the city planning department.
Thank You in advance,
Frederick and Gail Nichols

Subject: In Support of Short Term Rentals in the Commercial District
I am in support of short term rentals in the commercial district
My name is Ezra Choueke. I have been a Hermosa Beach resident for the
past twelve years. My wife Leigh and I live with our three small children at
57, 14th. Court. We depend on income from our two vacation rental
properties located at 48 14th. St. and 68 14thSt. We live right next to these
properties and we monitor them strictly especially because we have three
small children whom we would never put in harms way. The properties are
directly to the East of the Beach House Hotel and directly to the West of a
parking lot we rent to the City of Hermosa Beach (This parking lot is
adjacent to the Beach Market - so we have no residential neighbors.) We
are in favor of allowing STVR in the commercial district.
We do have the following concerns:
Coastal Commission: We are wondering if the city has the right to enact
and enforce an ordinance in the Coastal Zone without approval from the
Coastal Commission. We would hope that the City would act in compliance
with State laws by securing the necessary approvals and in not attempting
to circumvent them.
“Any vacation rental regulation in the coastal zone must occur within the
context of your local coastal program (LCP) and/ or be authorized pursuant to a
coastal development permit (CDP)”
Many of us are opposed to STVRs in residential neighborhoods but this type
of lodging should be available in commercial zones. We believe that the
Coastal Commission is concerned with recreational access to our
beaches. Given the price of owning or the long-term leasing residences in
the Coastal Zone, for families seeking a beach vacation, STVRs are a very good
and affordable alternative that enable us to share with others the benefits of
living in Hermosa Beach. There is no decrease in the availability of low cost
housing because in this zone there is almost no affordable housing.
2 Year Pilot Program:
STVRs in the commercial zone are currently allowed. If the new ordinance
is enacted and then in after two years, permits are withheld, then STVRs in
the commercial district will automatically be disallowed. The rights of
property owners in continuing to provide STVRs that serve the public are
not vested. By withholding opposition to the ordinance, are property
owners tacitly agreeing that the City has the right to revoke their ability to
operate STVRs within the framework of what is reasonable. Are property
owners giving up their property rights by participating in the Pilot
Program?
Hotels and STVRs:
If the same standards are applied to residences as they are to hotels, then
this could potentially present an insurmountable obstacle for STVRs and
could unreasonably disqualify them from providing lodging both for
visitors and for residents who occasionally require extra room to
accommodate visiting family members. It would be comforting to have
clarity as to the intent of the City Council as to whether STVRs in
commercial zones are truly allowed. If they are allowed then facilitate
their existence and, if they are not allowed, then just come right out and say
it.
Some of these properties are close to one hundred years old. Should
any one hundred year old building be required to be up to current building
codes (including ADA requirements) none would comply. Since they are
already non-conforming, there are very strict guidelines that shape
renovations etc. While the wording seems to suggest we would be
permitted to run an STVR, the language on inspections and codes suggest
that we would not be in compliance. And furthermore, would not be able to
become compliant unless we renovated the entire structure - and in the
course of this renovation we would probably lose our grandfathered
residential status and be required to place a commercial building on the
site.
Short Term and Long Term:
Can a residence in the commercial zone alternate between rentals of less
and more than 30 days depending on the season of year and consumer
demand? Does the TOT tax apply to rentals of over 30 days?
Code Enforcement Officer:
Assigning a full time code enforcement officer to monitor STVRs is wasteful
and excessive. Considering that thus far in the 2019 calendar year only
fifteen violations are reported and no citations issued. The same allocation
of funds to the police department would be wiser and better serve the
residents of the city. Before a violation takes effect, the property owner
should have the opportunity to contest it so as to avoid the possibility of
intimidation by a code enforcement official.
Property Manager:
Whereas it is a good idea to post the name and phone number of the
property manager of an STVR, listing the address of the property manager,
especially is if she is a woman, can provide a security risk that could deter
and endanger women, discouraging them from taking on this job. The
address of the property manager should be entrusted to the police
department and not posted on site.
Parking:
It would be good if parking can be provided either on site or at a location
adjacent to the site, not just “on site.” Most guests are part of a family group
and utilize a single car, Uber or other public transportation. One parking
space per bedroom may be optimal for hotel rooms but an exaggerated
requirement for STVRs.
Websites:
Property owners should not be held responsible for the unauthorized
listing or reviews of their properties on blogs or on websites.
Business license fees:
If the City proposes to collect a 12% TOT tax on rentals, that should be
sufficient. The proposed business license fee is much too high. While
addressing affordability, there is talk of raising the TOT tax from 12% to
14%. These costs are bourn directly by the consumer and will stifle
demand. One wonders if the high fees attached to building inspections and
application fees are another way to discourage STVRs. One must take into
account the cumulative effect of all the obstacles placed in the path of
property owners in the commercial district to understand if STVRs are in
fact allowed or made impractical by the amount of cost and regulation
required to keep them in legal compliance.
Our experience:
We have a very high approval rating on our STVRs.(see attached) We
provide a valuable service in allowing mainly families to enjoy a vacation
on our beaches. We have never been sited or received any complaints as
regards to our visitors. Our visitors enjoy walking access to our fine
beaches, restaurants, events and all of lower Pier Ave. Our visitors
contribute in no small degree to the vitality, economic health and wellbeing
of our beautiful downtown. People love STVRs just like they love Uber,
Netflix and Amazon. The difference is that most STVRs are owned and
operated by ordinary citizens and not by big companies. Family reunions
are encouraged but commercially organized parties should be prohibited.
Our customers are generally families with multiple young children who
can not stay comfortably in a hotel room for a week or so. Our small houses
provide an alternative to renting two or three hotel rooms and splitting up
the parents in each room. The guests spend a lot of money at local
retailers, on bike and surf rentals, and at the restaurants in the area. We
personally screen and meet our guests to offer good customer service as
well as to prevent damage to the neighborhood or property. Our price
point ensures that our visitors are professionals and our vigilance protects
the neighborhood from trouble makers.
Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Ezra Choueke

Subject: Re: STVR
Dear Council,
I own the property at 146 28th St in Hermosa Beach. I received the courtesy notice for “city council
meeting to consider two (2) year pilot program to allow and regulate short-term vacation rentals in
commercially zoned non-conforming dwelling units” as apparently my property is within 200 feet of a
property that could be eligible to contain a short-term vacation rental. I have worked with Nicole Ellis in
the Community Development Department who has been very diligent in trying to resolve my
concerns. Unfortunately, she is unable to locate the property that would be eligible for the short-term
rentals if this pilot program is approved. This is critical information for me and would request the city
provide this to me prior to the September 10, 2019, City Council meeting so I can decide if I need to
attend such meeting to represent my views. I would very much appreciate this.
Regardless of whether this may or may not impact me directly (i.e. within 200 feet) it does impact our
community and as such I am compelled to submit my concerns in writing. I find Councilors Duclos and
Fangary very short sighted in making the motion and seconding such, on March 28, 2017, that pertains
to the courtesy notice defined above. It should be fair to presume these Councilors are very well aware
of the three classifications of commercial zoning C-1, C-2 and C-3 and as such they should never be
supporting blanket approval for the rental of non-conforming dwelling units in all commercially zoned
areas. The fact they do support this indicates they are uninformed and frankly if a local taxpayer can
invest the time to research this then acting reasonably one can only conclude Councilors Duclos and
Fangary are acting negligently in supporting this. For Councilors Duclos and Fangary benefit, C-1 zoning
is defined as “Neighborhood Commercial Zone. To provide sites for a mix of small local businesses
appropriate for and serving the daily needs of nearby residential neighborhoods; while establishing land
use regulations that prevent significant adverse effects on abutting residential uses. For clarity, this
definition explicitly precludes the land use for motels and hotels. If the rational for the two-year pilot is
to provide short-term rentals no different than a motel or hotel (I have been told this by numerous city
staff) then this should be confined to areas that are appropriately commercially zoned but definitely not
zoned C-1. Having volumes of transient people come into the community and occupy the residential
community while in commercially zoned, C-1 areas, that preclude other commercial operations (as they
may cause significant adverse effects) is unjustifiable. The activity of short-term rentals has long been
established and are to specifically occur in areas that are zoned for C-2 and C-3 activities not C-1. As
well, I suspect part of the consideration in determining commercial zoning is infrastructure. What
analysis have these Councilors conducted with respect to the additional strain on infrastructure these
short-term rentals will have on the residential communities? Policing is already scarce and surely these
Councilors have educated themselves with respect to the impact of short-term rentals in residential
communities. Are these Councilors proposing to increase property taxes on these non-conforming
dwellings to pay for the additional costs required for infrastructure?
Mix use zoning is also a strong consideration I would have hoped wouldn’t have been overlooked but
considering we are this far advanced I fear it has been. I assume there has been a lot of negative
feedback on this and it’s been a primary focus for many complainants so I will keep my comments
brief. C-1 zoning is a small component of all residential communities and there are privileges and
responsibilities associated with such and when these were defined the City did not contemplate the
concept of short-term rentals in residential areas. Had it contemplated such activities I am sure the
community push back would have been immense. How is it these two Councilors can justify allowing
commercial property owners to come into a residential area and rent out there non-conforming
dwellings and profit from them when residents who have conforming properties are prohibited from
doing the same? The activity of bringing transients into the community is the same regardless if they
occupy a residential or commercial property, bottom line they are here. The question is then who
should benefit from this and who will be more responsible? People in the residential community who’s
property is being used for there originally intended use i.e. to live in or a small percentage of the
community that have the privilege of running a business that is not to create significant adverse effects
on abutting residents. In addition, residential property owners will have a stronger sense of moral
aptitude to ensure they are in good standing with their neighbors and an inherent desire to protect their
property. I would respectfully submit the stakeholders that should benefit are the ones who will care
more about who are coming into their homes and community and will be safer for the community and
the short-term tenant.
Councilors Duclos and Fangary you have it wrong and you should withdraw your support of said
motion. I have searched the minutes for any declarations of conflicts and see none. I certainly hope
neither of you, your family members, associates, friends or businesses you are connected with have
commercially zoned non-conforming dwelling units that will be profited from. If the desire is to increase
short-term rentals come up with a structure that provides the majority of the constituents of the zoned
area to benefit. Allow the proposed rentals in areas that are majority commercially zoned properties. If
you allow C-1 owners the ability to conduct short-term rentals in an area mainly residential then let the
residentially zoned properties to do the same but don’t slap the residential owners in the face with your
motion. If you need controls on residential short-term vacation rentals put them in place i.e. sell
licenses, limit each property to being able to provide rentals one out of four years, lottery draw for
rental license, etc. If this is too much work no problem find a way to attract more motels/hotels to the
area if short-term rentals are required, they will be safer and will require them to invest in our
infrastructure. If the community doesn’t want that then it likely doesn’t want short-term rentals.
If either Councilors wish to discuss this I would be more than happy to hear from them. I can be reached
at the number below. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,

Dear City Council Persons
My name is Jim Tarman and I live at 665 6th Street, Hermosa Beach.
I am strongly OPPOSED to any short term rentals. We previously had one 4 houses away. It is not good
for our neighborhoods, not good for a community feel, not good for noise, and just not good for
Hermosa Beach. These short term renters do not care about our neighborhoods. As residents there is
no way to get to “know them.” They bring and invite guests who also do not care about the Hermosa
community.
The proposed Pilot Program shows a property next door to me that could be a short term rental under
the proposed plan. This would be terrible personally, but I am also concerned with Hermosa Beach as a
whole.
Please consider the Future of Hermosa Beach and do not pass this “Pilot Program.” I will be strongly
opposed to this.
Here’s a question: How would YOU like to live next door to a short term vacation rental? I hope the
answer to this question guides you well with your decisions.

Subject: STVR Pilot Program Feedback
Dear Council Members and Planning Commissioners,
I’m writing today in regards to my wife’s and my concerns in regards to the proposed 2 year Pilot
Program regulating STVRs in existing non-conforming dwelling units on commercially zoned properties.
My wife and I have owned and lived in our home at 823 14th Street for nearly 16 years now. Directly
across the street from us there is a four unit dwelling that will potentially fall into this program, thus our
concern in regards to the program.
That unit is located at 822 14th Street. Before I go through my thoughts, I would recommend that you
take time to review this address in detail as I believe it will be one of, if not the, worst case scenario
properties if certain \recommended regulations are not included in the proposed pilot program.
We have a number of concerns and thoughts I’d like to provide. I will attempt to keep it as brief as I can
for everyone’s sake.
1. We believe that STR’s being banned across the city is a very good thing. We’re against them.
We also believe that the ban should apply across the board so as to avoid confusion amongst
residents, ensure equality in ordinances across all residents, and to avoid any attempts by
others to try and reopen the more widespread use of STR’s in the future.
2. We understand the strategy in regards to the Coastal Commission and why this policy is being
considered. That said, just recently the 9th Circuit held up Santa Monica Regulations in a law suit
brought against them by Air BNB and others. They determined that ‘[it is] the city's right to
regulate home sharing in order to protect its limited housing stock for residents,”. To say there
is a shortage of housing options in Hermosa is very fair in my opinion, and thus we believe this
strengthens the right of our city to do away with STR’s in total despite the Coastal Commission’s
concerns.
https://patch.com/california/hermosabeach/s/gteie/ruling-could-be-game-changer-for-short-
term-rental-regulations?utm_term=article-slot-1&utm_source=newsletter-
daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter
3. If the Pilot Program is approved we urge the Council to include all of the provisions in the
written report at a minimum as part of the program. Especially the parking provision requiring a
minimum of at least one parking space per bedroom. We would also highly recommend that it
be stipulated that dwellings with multiple units not be allowed to include a selective number of
units in their STR plan. A dwelling with multiple units should be required to meet the parking
requirements, along with the other items, for all units on site. Thus a dwelling with four one
bedroom units must be able to provide a minimum of four total parking spaces. If this is not the
case, owners could in theory do STVR’s for two units and reserve the on-site parking for those
units, while forcing other long term renters onto residential streets affecting neighborhood
parking negatively.
4. Additionally, we would like to see the plan include a maximum number of violations allowed at
a unit before the owner loses their license to operate as an STR. We suggest that number be
three.
5. In terms of the signage being considered as a requirement we would highly recommend adding
a Maximum Occupancy and cars label on the home. These signs would be a reinforcement to
guests as to the rules of the building while reducing the burden on neighbors to figure out and
keep track of limitations for the units and allowing easier monitoring.
6. Finally, we recommend considering, if this plan is approved, limiting the locations to the
downtown, beachfront properties, or that qualifying units be directly adjacent to major
commercial thoroughfares, such as PCH, Pier Avenue, and Aviation Blvd. Non-conforming homes
built on commercially zoned lots that are for all intents and purposes located inside of a
residential neighborhood by being directly next to one or more Residentially zoned properties,
such as with 822 14th Street, should be carved out and not zoned for this ordinance. These are
generally lots that were zoned for potential commercial development, a rather unwise decision
we’ll save for another day, but have always been residential and are physically part of a
residential neighborhood. The only thing making these lots commercial is an imaginary zone that
was created many years ago by people who were clearly not protecting the residents of our
neighborhood. This is a small opportunity to correct these past mistakes and protect our
neighborhoods.
We thank you for your time and consideration and trust that decisions will be made with all due
consideration to those Hermosa residents who will be directly affected by this program. Thank you for
listening and for your continued service to the Hermosa Beach community.

I received the notice regarding the hearing about short term rentals. Although I am unable to attend the
hearing tonight I am AGAINST having short term rentals in the area described as it is within 200 feet of
my property. Short term rentals often have major problems regarding noise, disruption and
disturbances and will have adverse effects on the quality of living and the desirability of my property.
Please vote AGAINST short term rentals in Hermosa Beach

Subject: short term rentals
What are we doing here? How tolerant do we have to be to live in Hermosa Beach exactly?
The renters next to me runs 2 businesses out of their house have 3 yappy dogs and loud cars.
The rental behind me has a dog that prevents me from going back there cuz he pops his head
through the hedge and snarls and barks. (I now have a dog. A why fight um- join um move.)
Airplanes and ultra lights and now a drone flying above that pauses for good views I guess.
Summer weekend feel like an air show and don't forget the delivery trucks and lack of parking.
Now with Hawthorne Airport I get private jets directly above as early as 6:30 and as late as
9:30. So why don't I report this stuff? Simple, Acrimony and I'm afraid of what might replace
them. On my side of the street there are more rentals than owners. Remember that this RE
market rarely loses value so as a result when people move they often keep their property and
turn it into a rental. I understand that this trial doesn't include residential zoni ng. I'm not sure
why I got the notice unless the condos at the top of the hill are commercially zoned. In that case
I hate the idea because when the do have parties the sound projects over the area like an
amphitheater. Get ready for me and others to call on every disturbance up there because i
wont know who is short term or long term so it will be the Police dept. or your job to figure it
out. Have fun with that. Again why are we considering this when every city around us has said
no. Is it really because we fear the wrath of the coastal commission? We want to score points
with them? So you want to come to the coastal commission with your hat in your hand with
your mind filled with good thoughts with all the best intentions? That and a dollar still won't g et
you a cup of coffee. Remember the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Your just
opening a door a little that you'll never fully close again. Make a sound revenue argument
something please. We'll become the city to shack up in to enjoy all the s outh bay has to offer.
We'll get the traffic and noise and drunkenness that comes with visitors intent on having a good
time without the cost of a hotel and the controls and supervision that a hotel provides. Just
what we need, visitors unfamiliar with the area in rental cars sober or not entering or exiting a
main thoroughfare from or to a non-conforming property. Good idea??

Subject: Short Term Vacation Rental
Dear City Council,
My name is Jacqueline Torfin and I own and live at 659 6th street. I have been a resident since 1968.
I am strongly opposed to any short term vacation rentals. Living next door to a short term vacation rental
can be completely
life altering. Visitors come and go at all hours, there are noise disturbances, trash and parking issues,
especially in our high
density town. I am also concerned that it will change the character of Hermosa Beach.
We rely on you as our city council to do the right thing and ask you not pass this Pilot Program. I will be
strongly opposed.

Mr. David Blumenthal, AICP, Senior Planner
Dear Mr. Blumenthal,
My name is Nicole Trutanich and I am a chocolate maker and owner of Bar Au
Chocolat located at 326 13th St., in Manhattan Beach. I am a partner in my family
business that owns and operates 3 STVRs, two in lovely Hermosa Beach and one in
the commercial district in Manhattan Beach.
STVRs: I am in favor of STVRs only in the commercial district but not in the
residential district.
Benefit to the City: Our visitors contribute to the vitality and economic viability of
our downtown businesses. They have good energy, walk around, go to the
beaches and patronize our stores and restaurants. They take lots of pictures and
send them all over the world.
Choice in lodging: The world is changing so quickly. We use Uber and Lyft as well
as taxis. We shop online as well as in our retail stores. We go to theaters as well as
subscribe to Netflix. The list goes on. There is a great consumer demand for
STVRs.
Affordability: Most people cannot afford to buy or long-term lease a home in
HB. However, renting a residence for a few days or for a week is within the reach of
2
many. It enables us to share our beaches and downtown with both visitors and
residents who need lodging for visiting family and friends.
Who are the visitors? We have 101 verified reviews with an almost perfect rating of
4.9. As evidenced by our reviews, our visitors are mainly families with children who
want to share in a family vacation. We do not rent to commercial party organizers,
fraternity parties and the like. We have a stake in keeping our properties in
excellent repair and maintenance. We are respectful towards our neighbors.
Disturbances: We have never been cited or received a single complaint as to our
visitors. The police have never been called to assure law and order. We pride
ourselves on excellent property management and delivering the best possible
experience to our visitors.
Taxation and Regulation: We understand that the City needs to collect taxes and
business license fees in order to maintain the proper level of service to the
community at large. These fees should be reasonable and not be viewed as a way
to gouge our visitors and make it difficult for them to afford vacationing in HB.
Pilot Program: The pilot program is set to expire in 2 years. Is it true that after 2
years if the program is not extended, that all STVRs in the commercial zone will not
be permitted? Any new ordinance should allow for the continuation of the program
unless there are violations or harm to the residents of the community. Not allowing
STVRs in the commercial zone without just cause can be interpreted as an effort by
the City to inhibit access to the beaches and downtown commercial district. The
STVRs should be authorized to provide service beyond the 2 year time limit, as long
as they are in good standing and not in violation of any laws.
Long term versus Short Term: Given the seasons and taking consumer demand
into consideration, properties can alternate between STVRs and long term
rentals. Whereas it is reasonable to charge TOT fees for stays under 30 days, when
it comes to long term stays, the TOT fee should be waived because TOT fees are
not required of long term rentals.
3
Final wording of the ordinance: It would be a good idea to involve owners of STVRs
in drafting the final version of the ordinance. We are familiar with the day-to-day
operation and maintenance of our properties and know what is necessary and what
is superfluous. The concern here is over regulation which can add to a lot of “make
work.” STVRs in the commercial district is a fairly simple proposal and we should
avoid making the whole process cumbersome and needlessly complicated.
Thank you for your patience in reviewing my comments. I attach for your reference
101 unedited, verified and impartial reviews. These constitute all of the review we
have received to date. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of
assistance. Thank you for your service to our community and contributing more
than your fair share in making and keeping HB a great place in which to live and to
raise our families.
Best wishes,
Nicole

Subject: Short Term Vacation Rentals
Attn: City Council Members
I am a long-time resident and homeowner in Hermosa Beach (since 1975).
The thought of having short term vacation rentals is very disturbing to me. Being a homeowner and
former long-time apartment dweller in this small city, I have seen a lot of changes; some for the better,
others not. By allowing short term rentals in our quaint little city, you will change the character and
charm that we appreciate and have become used to.
Short term visitors do not care about the neighbors, making noise,leaving trash everywhere, the
disturbances they threaten to cause to our daily lives. They are not concerned about the neighborhood,
just their daily pleasure and enjoyment. We have hotels and motels where they can stay and be
accommodated appropriately.
Please consider the present and future of Hermosa Beach and do NOT allow this pilot program to
pass. It is NOT in our best interest as a community and you are opening up a can of worms, by setting
this precendent. Please reconsider and do NOT pass this program.

eComment: 1) Looking at the zoning map, the majority of properties under consideration are
“islands” in a sea of residentially zoned properties covered by the ban on STVRs. Inconsistent to
allow STVRs on one property while prohibiting it on an adjacent property. 2) This program is a
“solution looking for a problem” – original impetus was speculation that the program MIGHT be
helpful in future dealings with Coastal Commission. However, there have been no actions or
rulings to affirm this.

eComment: I have lived next door to one of the properties that would allow short-term vacation
rentals for 15 years. As it is, this property has been rented to people who have caused significant
noise issues for me and my family in the past. Allowing short-term rentals is likely to attract even
less courteous and desirable transient neighbors and cause us - home owners - more stress. We
live in Hermosa Beach. This is not a community for partiers, but instead a place with considerate
neighborhoods and neighbors who look out for each other and understand common courtesies
with regard to parking, trash and noise etc. We all know each other on our street and keep an
eye on each other. Allowing short-term renters devalues our way of life and the character of our
community. Short-term vacationers should stick to hotels or other high-density tourist areas in
Los Angeles. NOT our beautiful Hermosa Beach.

Subject: Hermosa short term rental pilot program
Hermosa Beach City Council,
These attached pictures are from 2604 Hermosa Ave, one of the properties asking you to
consider short term rental. They don't seem to care for the tenant or public safety because one
entrance/exit to the building is blocked by the owners stuff and their Pavestones are on the
public sidewalk. The top and the bottom of the stairwell is blocked ( picture of the top of the
stairwell is hard to make out but it is also blocked). The city does not enforce safety regulation
like these that are pictured or smoking in public areas, electric bikes on the Stand, dogs on the
beach, etc. This leaves me with little faith that the city will regulate short term rentals.

eComment: I am against the proposed ordinance anywhere in the city. We are regularly
overwhelmed with noise, left over trash, loud boisterous party goers and music blaring from the
top floors of multi story buildings. Parking becomes problematic and the quality of life for those
who do live nearby has gone down. I also want Code Enforcement to be proactive in enforcing
those who regularly have short term rentals where the owners figure that an occasional fine
outweighs the income they receive from the weekend.

Dear Hermosa City Council Members,
We are writing to express our strong opposition to Text Amendment 16-5 – Proposal to amend
various sections of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to establish a two-year pilot program to
allow and regulate short-term vacation rentals in existing non-conforming dwelling units on
commercially zoned properties. This amendment will allow the serial disruption of our quiet
neighborhood. We also have considerable doubts concerning the ability of the city to properly
regulate short term vacation rentals. There are currently homes in our neighborhood skirting
this ordinance. In specific the units at 30 The Strand are circumventing this ordinance, causing
regular disruption. These units have also made it nearly impossible for our neighbors at 22 The
Strand to sell their, which has been on the market for nearly half a year. Undoubtedly this
continual violation has decreased the value of their house as well. We also believe that this is
the first step for opening up all rental properties in our neighborhood for short term rentals,
which we adamantly oppose.
If you intend to reduce our property values and disrupt our neighborhood, we will take legal
action.
Respectfully,
Dan and Alison Pondella

Esther Forrest Nichols,Frederick Nichols Aug 23 at 7:58 PM REQUEST TO DAVID
BLUMENTHAL: Please provide me with the draft ordinance and draft provisions, to
email:fredcnichols@yahoo.com, or the address noted below. QUESTION: WHAT SPECIFIC
PROPERTIES ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR THIS PILOT? MY WIFE GAIL AND I OWN:
148, 150, 148 A FIRST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CA. 90254 I AM TRUSTEE FOR AND
LIVE AT: 118 MANHATTAN AVE, HERMOSA BEACH, CA. 90254 I AM TRUSTEE FOR: 168
FIRST STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CA. 90254 PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE PROPERTIES
THAT ARE IN 200 FEET. ALSO, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW ALL THE PROPERTIES IN
HERMOSA THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE PART OF THIS PILOT, OR WOULD QUALIFY FOR
THE PILOT. Our comments to City Council: As a resident of Hermosa Beach since 1979, I
raised two sons in the city. I am a former Coach of neighborhood sports, a former Cub Master &
Scout Master of Hermosa Beach scouting. My wife and I are deeply concerned about the safety
and the quality of life for our family, our grandchildren and our neighbors. I have recently spent
thousands of dollars on security for my properties due to current conditions associated with
homeless & out of town young delinquents. (I have made multiple calls to Hermosa PD of
"skaters" damaging my property and my neighbor’s property. We recently had a peeping Tom in
South Hermosa that the police were unable to apprehend. We see no upside to city residents for
this pilot program. We are against short-term rentals of any-kind, residential or commercial, in
Hermosa Beach. Perhaps the city should encourage the building of more hotels. I see what
appears to be short-term rentals weekly as I walk the city , on my own street and on the strand.
The city appears to be unable to regulate what is happening now; that I believe is against the
law. How will the city be able to regulate these new units in the pilot program? Gail and I have 7
tenants that include single women, and include a family with a baby on the way. If there are
benefits to the community that I do not understand as it relates to safety and quality of life please
advise. How will this program be paid for? How will the city get input from the many renters who
will be impacted by this pilot program? How will the city get input from the property owners who
happen to live more than 200 feet from the specific properties? This is an issue for the entire city,
not just homeowners within 200 feet of pilot properties. We believe this will aggravate /
exacerbate the out of control homeless problem in Hermosa Beach. Short term renters will be
less inclined to report crime than residents or tenants. What do our police and fire departments
think of this ordinance? Do they have concerns? How will their concerns be mitigated? As a
landlord, I appreciate the revenue opportunity this provides to the owners of the pilot properties.
Although it may be good for them, it is not good for are already deteriorating quality of life in
Hermosa Beach. Please read this into the record during the hearing on Tuesday August 27,
2019 as I will not be available to attend in person. Please acknowledge that this will be read into
the record. I am happy to discuss with anyone on the council or in the city planning department.
Thank You in advance, Frederick and Gail Nichols 118 Manhattan Ave Hermosa Beach,

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0578
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 10, 2019
ZONE CHANGE 18-1- A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 820 9TH STREET FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL
(C-3) TO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-1) AND DETERMINE
THAT THE REQUEST IS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
CONSIDERED IN THE PLAN HERMOSA ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT (EIR)
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Introduce the attached ordinance to approve Zone Change 18-1, thereby rezoning the subject
site from C-3 to R-1; and
2.Determine that the request is within the scope of the project considered in the PLAN Hermosa
Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Executive Summary:
The applicant is requesting the City Council rezone the subject property from General Commercial (C
-3)to Single-Family Residential (R-1),which will bring the property into compliance with the General
Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential.
Background:
The subject site is a 3,908 square foot rectangular shaped parcel that is located on the south side of
9th Street,east of Pacific Coast Highway.The site is improved with a 1,877 square foot,two-story
residence,which includes an attached two-car garage.The residence was originally constructed in
1940.The site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential and is currently
zoned General Commercial (C-3).
In August 2017,the City adopted its updated General Plan (PLAN Hermosa),the City's first general
plan update since 1979,which changed the subject lot’s land use designation from Commercial
Corridor to Low Density Residential;however,this action did not update the zoning of the parcel.As
a result,the current zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan.The land use designation changes
were to reflect that these properties have either historically been in use as residential or that

REPORT 19-0578
were to reflect that these properties have either historically been in use as residential or that
properties currently in use as commercial would be more appropriate to continue as residential in to
the future.This change,along with a handful of others,were included in the General Plan update to
bring consistency to the properties where the designation conflicted with the actual use and where it
did not make sense to encourage commercial uses to extend further into residential areas.
Discussion:
The applicant is requesting the City Council rezone the subject property from General Commercial (C
-3)to Single-Family Residential (R-1),which will bring the property into compliance with the General
Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential.
On July 16,2019,the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
request.Staff had recommended approval of the zone change to the Planning Commission.Staff’s
complete analysis can be found in the Planning Commission Staff Report, dated July 16, 2019.
During the public hearing,only the applicant’s representative addressed the Planning Commission in
favor of the request and there was no opposition.After a brief discussion on the merits of rezoning
the property,the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 19-12,by a 5-0 vote;thereby
recommending the City Council approve Zone Change 18-1 to rezone the subject site from C-3 to R-
1.
This request is similar to the zone change for the adjacent parcel on the east of the subject site,
which was approved by the City Council at their January 9, 2018 meeting.
Environmental Determination
In accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)Guideline Sections 15162 and 15168(c)(2),this rezone is consistent with the General Plan
designation for the property and is within the scope of the project considered in the PLAN Hermosa
Environmental Impact Report (EIR),which was certified by the City Council on August 22,2017.
Pursuant to CEQA, no additional analysis is required.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.According
to PLAN Hermosa,“The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use designation is to provide
for the retention,maintenance,and investment in single-family residential neighborhoods and protect
residential uses from potential nuisances of nonresidential uses.This low density designation is
intended to provide the lowest levels of density,offer a high quality environment for family life,and
ensure the preservation of residential property values.”PLAN Hermosa additionally states,“Land
use designations and zoning districts must be compatible,but need not be exactly the same.Zoning
districts must be within the range of the allowed intensity and uses found in this Plan.”The R-1 zone

REPORT 19-0578
allows densities that are within the range for the Low Density Residential designation.
The site is also within the Hermosa Hills Neighborhood character area.PLAN Hermosa states,“The
intent is to improve key pedestrian connectivity and access while preserving the single-family
development pattern of this area.”Approval of the zone change will limit the future use of the site to
those uses allowed in the R-1 zone, such as the existing single-family home.
This action will implement PLAN Hermosa since the R-1 zone is compatible with and allows the types
and density of uses outlined in the Low Density Residential land use designation.It will also insure
that future development will be consistent with the Hermosa Hills Neighborhood character area,as
outlined in the General Plan
Fiscal Impact:
This action will not have a fiscal impact.

Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of July 16, 2019
Zone Change 18-1- A request to rezone property located at 820 9th Street from General Commercial
(C-3) to Single-Family Residential (R-1) and determine that the request is within the scope of the
project considered in the PLAN Hermosa Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Recommended Action:
Adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach approve
Zone Change 18-1, thereby rezoning the subject site from C-3 to R-1 and determine that the request
is within the scope of the project considered in the PLAN Hermosa Environmental Impact Report
(EIR).
Background:
EXISTING ZONING:General Commercial (C-3)
PROPOSED ZONING:Single-Family Residential (R-1)
GENERAL PLAN:Low Density Residential
LOT SIZE:3,908 square feet
LOT IMPROVMENTS:Single-family Residence
The subject site is a 3,908 square foot rectangular shaped parcel that is located on the south side of
9th Street, east of Pacific Coast Highway. The site is improved with a 1,877 square foot, two-story
residence, which includes an attached two-car garage. The residence was originally constructed in
1940. The first floor contains one bedroom, one bathroom, the family room, and the garage while the
second floor consists of three bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and living room. The
site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential and is currently zoned
General Commercial (C-3).
The properties to the east of the project, which front 9th Street, have land use designation of Low
Density Residential and are zoned Single-Family Residential (R-1). These parcels are all improved
with single-family homes (the residence on the lot immediately to the east of the subject site is under
construction). The properties to the north and west of the site have a land use designation of
Community Commercial and are zoned General Commercial (C-3). These parcels are improved with
a variety of commercial businesses. The property to the south of the project site has a land use
designation of Low Density Residential and is zoned General Commercial (C-3). This property is
improved with a portion of the used car dealership that fronts Pacific Coast Highway.
On November 21, 2017, the Planning Commission considered a similar request for the adjacent
parcel on the east of the subject site. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 8/13/2019Page 1 of 3

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0447
Commission recommended the City Council approve the Zone Change. The City Council approved
the request at their January 9, 2018 meeting.
Analysis:
In August 2017 the City adopted its updated General Plan (PLAN Hermosa), the City's first general
plan update since 1979, which changed the subject lot’s land use designation from Commercial
Corridor to Low Density Residential; however, this action did not update the zoning of the parcel. As
a result, the current zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan. The land use designation changes
were to reflect that these properties have either historically been in use as residential or that
properties currently in use as commercial would be more appropriate to continue as residential in to
the future. This change, along with a handful of others, were included in the General Plan update to
bring consistency to the properties where the designation conflicted with the actual use and where it
did not make sense to encourage commercial uses to extend further into residential areas.
The 1980 General Plan Map had identified these areas commercial (changed from residential) as a
means to encourage greater depth for potential commercial redevelopment along PCH. Over the
course of approximately 40 years, that additional commercial depth has not occurred and instead
perpetrated the non-conforming status for the residential properties, thereby limiting potential
investment and improvements to the properties. Due to the inconsistency between zoning and
general plan, the applicant is now requesting the City rezone the property from C-3 to R-1.
Rezoning the subject lot to R-1 will allow improvements that are compatible with the existing
residential development. Under the permitted uses in the R-1 zone, only a single dwelling unit is
allowed on the parcel. The lot is does not meet the minimum 4,000 square feet to provide an
accessory dwelling unit. Further review of the existing residence shows it complies with all
development standards of the R-1 zone, except the east side setback. This setback is required to be
a minimum of 4’-4” (10% of the lot width), but currently there is only a 2’-10” setback. As with all
properties in the R-1 zone, the nonconforming setback may remain; but any new construction is
required to comply with the development standards.
Environmental Determination:
In accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guideline Sections 15162 and 15168(c)(2), this rezone is consistent with the General Plan
designation for the property and is within the scope of the project considered in the PLAN Hermosa
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which was certified by the City Council on August 22, 2017.
Pursuant to CEQA, no additional analysis is required.
General Plan Consistency:
According to PLAN Hermosa, “The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use designation is to
provide for the retention, maintenance, and investment in single-family residential neighborhoods and
protect residential uses from potential nuisances of nonresidential uses. This low density designation
is intended to provide the lowest levels of density, offer a high quality environment for family life, and
ensure the preservation of residential property values.” PLAN Hermosa additionally states, “Land
use designations and zoning districts must be compatible, but need not be exactly the same. Zoning
districts must be within the range of the allowed intensity and uses found in this Plan.” The R-1 zone
allows densities that are within the range for the Low Density Residential designation.

REPORT 19-0447
The site is also within the Hermosa Hills Neighborhood character area. PLAN Hermosa states, “The
intent is to improve key pedestrian connectivity and access while preserving the single-family
development pattern of this area.” Approval of the zone change will limit the future use of the site to
those uses allowed in the R-1 zone, such as the existing single-family home.
This action will implement PLAN Hermosa since the R-1 zone is compatible with and allows the types
and density of uses outlined in the Low Density Residential land use designation. It will also insure
that future development will be consistent with the Hermosa Hills Neighborhood character area, as
outlined in the General Plan.
Summary:
Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff is of the opinion that the proposed zone change
is consistent with the area and will implement the City’s General Plan (PLAN Hermosa). As such,
staff is recommending the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution, recommending the
City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach approve Zone Change 18-1, thereby rezoning the subject
site from C-3 to R-1 and determine that the request is within the scope of the project considered in
the PLAN Hermosa Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 10, 2019
ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ORGANIC
WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR HERMOSA BEACH
BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS
(Acting Public Works Director Lucho Rodriguez)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Adopt a resolution approving an organic waste recycling program to comply with State
mandates and authorizing the collection of additional fees related to commercial and
residential organic waste recycling services; and
2.Direct staff to coordinate with Athens Services on the implementation of the organic waste
recycling and to conduct education and outreach to Hermosa Beach businesses and residents
on the new program.
Executive Summary:
At the June 11,2019 meeting,City Council reviewed organic waste recycling program options and
requested staff return with a resolution approving a program for Hermosa Beach businesses and
residents.The City,through the existing franchise agreement with Athens Services,is required to
provide an organic waste recycling program for the 145 businesses that currently meet the AB 1826
threshold of four (4) or more cubic yards of solid waste per week.
In June 2019,City Council considered various rate options for commercial and multifamily accounts
and recommended staff return with a resolution that would implement a 27.46%across-the-board
increase to provide organics waste recycling for all commercial and multifamily accounts,and a
2.34%,or $0.30 month,across-the-board increase for residential accounts to provide a food waste
recycling program for all Hermosa Beach residents.
Prior to implementing the programs,staff will coordinate with Athens Services to conduct a 4-6 week
education and outreach campaign to commercial and residential customers.
Background:
In October 2014,Governor Brown signed AB 1826 Chesbro (Chapter 727,Statutes of 2014),which
requires local jurisdictions across the State to implement an organic waste recycling program to
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/6/2019Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0418
requires local jurisdictions across the State to implement an organic waste recycling program to
divert organic waste generated by businesses,including multifamily residential dwellings that consist
of five or more units.In September 2016,Governor Brown signed into law SB 1383 (Lara,Chapter
395,Statutes of 2016)that establishes targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the level of the
statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75 percent reduction by 2025.
To comply with these new State laws,staff has worked with Athens Services,the City’s exclusive
waste hauler to develop a new organic waste recycling program for both businesses and residential
customers.The organic waste recycling program will divert food waste,green waste,landscape and
pruning waste,nonhazardous wood waste,and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food
waste from the landfill to a green cart and will be hauled to Athens’-owned American Organics facility
in Victorville, California, for composting.
Discussion:
At the June 11,2019 meeting,Athens Services presented various organic waste recycling program
options and associated rates for City Council consideration,including subscriber-only rates for
commercial,multifamily,and residential customers,and across the board rate increases on all carts
to subsidize and reduce the program cost and encourage participation.
City Council reviewed organic waste recycling program assessment options,and provided direction
to prepare the necessary materials for an across the board increase in residential rates for single-
family and multifamily accounts with 4 or less units by 2.41%on all carts (trash,blue recycling and
green organic waste,with a green cart to be made available to all customers);and across the board
increase for commercial and multi-family (with 5 or more units)rates by 27.46%.Table 1 shows
monthly cart and bin rates adjusted for these preferred organic waste recycling program options.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0418
To implement the direction provided on June 11,2019 staff is returning with a resolution to approve
an organic waste recycling program to comply with State mandates (AB 1826 &SB 1383)and
authorizing the collection of additional fees related to providing the organic waste recycling program
by Athens Services under the City’s franchise agreement (Attachment 1).
With the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996,the City is required to provide written notice of the
proposed rate increases,set a date and time for a public hearing in which the proposed rate changes
will be discussed,and provide affected property owners the opportunity to submit a written protest
under the majority protest rule.This means that the proposed assessment would be defeated if more
than 50% of the ballots received are opposed to the increase.
Consistent with Prop 218 requirements,the July 25,2019 notice (Attachment 2)was provided to all
affected customers via certified mail.The notice provided an opportunity for property owners to file a
written protest against the proposed fee increase with the City Clerk.The City Clerk has compiled all
received written protest forms which includes a total of 148 protests as of September 5, 2019.
With adoption of the resolution,staff will work with Athens services to implement the new organics
waste recycling program and conduct outreach and education to let customers know about the new
opportunity and provide instructions for proper disposal of organics materials.If approved,the
program and associated rate increases will Commercial and residential customers will be required to
request a green cart and instructions for requesting carts and cart options will be provided by Athens
Services.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.As part of
PLAN Hermosa,the City set goals and adopted policies aimed at offering waste reduction and
recycling programs to the community and achieving progressively higher rates of waste diversion.
Sustainability and Conservation:
·6.1 Franchise agreements.Ensure waste franchise agreements and program offerings provide
progressively higher rates of waste diversion.
·6.2 Food waste collection.Ensure food waste collection is available and convenient for all
residents, businesses, and organizations.
·6.10 Evaluate recycling and waste diversion opportunities.Periodically evaluate and consider
new opportunities to achieve greater waste diversion rates.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with this action.Residential and commercial
customers have been notified of the proposed rate increases that,if approved,will appear on their

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH APPROVING AN ORGANIC
WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR HERMOSA BEACH BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS AND AUTHORIZING
THE COLLECTION OF ADDITIONAL FEES IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT AN ORGANIC WASTE RECYCLING
PROGRAM
SECTION 1. RECITALS
1. Assembly Bill (AS) 1826 was signed into law on September 28, 2014, and requires
businesses, including restaurants; supermarkets; large venues; and food processors, that generate a
specified amount of organic waste, specifically food waste, per week to arrange for recycling services for
that organic waste in a specified manner beginning April 1, 2016; and
2. AB 1826 defines a "business" as a commercial or public entity, including, but not limited to, a
firm, partnership, proprietorship, joint stock company, corporation, or association that is organized as
a for-profit or nonprofit entity, or a multifamily residential dwelling of 5 units or more; and
3. "Organic Waste" is defined as food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste,
nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste; and
4. AB 1826 requires that jurisdictions implement an organics recycling program for businesses
by January 1, 2016, that includes education, outreach, and monitoring activities and reporting annually
to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle); and
5. SB 1826 requires that jurisdictions implement an organics recycling program for businesses
by January 1, 2016, that includes education, outreach, and monitoring activities and reporting annually
to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle); and
6. In2016 the State of California enacted SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statues of 2016),
establishing methane emissions reduction targets, to be achieved via even greater diversion of organics
from landfills, in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants; and
7. The City’s existing franchise agreement with Athens Services contemplates requiring an
organic waste recycling program and the City has worked with Athens Services to develop a new
organic waste recycling program for both businesses and residential customers; and
8. The organic waste recycling program will divert food waste, green waste, landscape and
pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste
from the landfill to a green cart and will be hauled to Athens’ owned American Organics facility in
Victorville, California, for composting; and
9. The current level of solid waste collection and disposal service rates is insufficient to recover
the total costs of providing the organic waste recycling program; and
10. The City proposes to collect additional fees in the amount necessary to implement the
organic waste recycling program; and
11. The City Council finds, with respect to the revenue derived from the additional fees, that (1)
there is a reasonable relationship between the fees and the services for which they are imposed; (2) the
revenue derived from the increased fees does not exceed the amount necessary to provide the services;
(3) the increased fees shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fees are imposed;
(4) the increased fees do not exceed the proportional cost of the services attributable to each parcel
served; and (5) the increased fees are not levied for general governmental purposes; and
12. Pursuant to California Proposition 218 (California Constitution Article XIIID, Section 6), at
least 45 days prior to the hearing on this Resolution, the City has mailed, postage prepaid, a notice of
the public hearing on the proposed solid waste rate increase to the property owner of each identified
parcel upon which the increased rates are being proposed, and
13. Said notice identified: (1) the amount of the additional fees to be charged; (2) the basis
upon which the fees were calculated; (3) the reason for the fees; and (4) the date, time, and location for
the public hearing on the fees; and
14. On September 10, 2019, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing at which
time all those wishing to be heard were afforded an opportunity to be heard, and at which time the City
Council considered any and all written protests concerning the proposed organic waste recycling
program fees; and
15. All other prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The following fee increases, as set forth in Exhibit “A” (attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein) are hereby approved and adopted by the City Council;
an increase of 2.41% in residential rates for single-family and multi-family accounts with
4 or less units on all carts (trash, blue recycling and green organic waste, with a green
cart to be made available to all customers); and across the board increase for
commercial and multi-family (with 5 or more units) of 27.46%.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Government Code section 53756, an Annual Rate Adjustment will be
applied, limited to the weighted change in the Bureau of Labor Statistics indices shown
in the table below, capped at no more than a 5% increase in any one year. If approved,
these rates, charges and adjustments will be effective October 1, 2019, and the annual
adjustment will be applied July 1 of each year, ending June 30, 2021 and subject to a
two-year extension.

The automatic adjustments authorized by this Section 2 may be implemented by the
City during the time frame provided, without complying with the notice, hearing and
majority protest procedures provided in Proposition 218. However, the City shall
provide property owners written notice thirty (30) days prior to implementing any
increase in accordance with Government Code Section 53756. At no time may an
automatic adjustment exceed the cost of providing the solid waste services.
SECTION 3. The new fees proposed will be effective upon completion of an education and outreach
campaign to Hermosa Beach businesses and residents for a minimum of four weeks
from the date of adoption of this resolution.
SECTION 4. Pursuant to Section 21080(b)(8) of the Public Resources Code, and Section 15273(a) of
the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), review under CEQA is not required because the City Council action increasing
solid waste service rates is for the purpose of (i) meeting solid waste collection and
disposal operating expenses due to a new organic waste recycling program, (ii)
purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials for the solid waste collection
and disposal services and a new organic waste recycling program, and (iii) obtaining
funds for capital projects necessary to maintain solid waste collection and disposal
service. This action is also exempt pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(4) of
the CEQA Guidelines because it involves the creation of a government funding
mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may
result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. This action is also
exempt pursuant to Sections 15307 and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines because the
organic waste recycling program will assure the maintenance, restoration,
enhancement, or protection of a natural resource or the environment by reducing
methane emissions via diversion of organic waste from landfills.
SECTION 5. The City Manager shall have the authority to interpret the provisions of this Resolution
for purposes of resolving ambiguities.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution, which shall be effective
upon its adoption.

Supplemental to Public Hearing Item 5-d, Hermosa City Council Regular Meeting 9/10/2019
To: Hermosa Beach City Council
From: Howard Longacre, Resident
September 8, 2019
Re: This is a Supplemental AND PROTEST to Public Hearing Item 5-d (i.e.,
Organic Waste Recycling, and the latest Hermosa Beach City Council and
California State Legislature ‘Nanny State’ actions.)
Public Hearing 5-d staff report w/attachments: (link changes after meeting)
https://hermosabeach.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4127538&GUID=C0B888FB -CD70-
4B47-B90B-2A340592C5B3
All in the following are just my views but Council/staff you would best review prior to the
meeting.
Please City Council, note that the staff report for Public Hearing Item 5-d is one
convoluted mess of confusion. Poorly done, confusing even for this resident and
deficient as follows.
First off I and many in town utilize the 20-gallon black trash barrel size, not the 32- or
64-gallon trash barrel size for trash.
Furthermore many residents who are currently paying for and using a 32-gallon or 64-
gallon size could save money by switching to a smaller size or fewer barrels. Why
doesn’t anyone remind them of that. The City’s contract with Athens allows you to
change sizes downward/upward once a calendar year without charge and I’m sure you
can add more or larger trash barrels at any time without delivery/pickup charge.
The staff report has apparently neglected to mention the 20-gallon size. Was that
intentional on Athens part to force everyone into larger trash barrels? Hasn’t
staff read the current contract to see if Athens has provided them with the correct
Hermosa Beach information? Did they get all their information only from Athens?
The City has a multi-year contract. It has details unique to Hermosa
Beach. Athens has different specs/rates for every city they deal with.
Council, is it your intention to massively change the contract implicitly in cahoots with
Athens with this scam? Who’s at fault with this latest SNAFU of the 20-gallon barrels
not being detailed?
Be sure to make ex parte announcements at the beginning of the Public Hearing and go
the extra mile and indicate if any of you have received campaign contributions from
Athens past, present, or will be in the future. May be legal, but certainly not in my view
very ethical due to your voting on such moneyed contracts on a routine basis.
Page 2 of 5
Clearly this will be a windfall for Athens. Gary Clifford, their rep, seemed awful giddy at
the last meeting, and I just wonder how much of a commission he may be getting from
selling the city staff and the City Manager/City Council on including single and duplex
family residences to be forced into this BS that even the state didn’t require to be done.
Council, you should be doing only what the state forces you to do, not adding
more unnecessary cost to Hermosa residents’ trash bills when most residents
will have no part in this other than paying another rate increase thanks to you,
Hermosa’s tax and giveaway City Council.
I, and I am sure that others, do not want another barrel, i.e. a Green Barrel. I have no
need for a Green Barrel. There are three sets of trucks driving through this city making
a racket and polluting the air each and every week already. And by the way, the Athens
trucks seem to get noisier by the week. Why is that?
Two sets of trucks on one day depending on location picking up first black barrels early
and then another set of trucks picking up blue barrels later. Then on Tuesday another
set of trucks are picking up green barrels. It’s a damn nuisance having all these three
sets of trucks tearing up and down every street, every week and destroying the street
pavements. It’s absolutely stupid, and even the trash companies have even told you
that it is not necessary, but still you lay people, mostly attorneys on our Hermosa Beach
City Council know so much more on every damn subject, including trash hauling to
overrule the professionals in the business.
If you force me as a senior to pay for a green barrel too, this is a big cost increase for
me. I will continue to let you and others know about it week by week. If you force me
as a senior to pay for a 32-gallon barrel this too is a big cost increase. Why isn’t the
20-gallon size shown in the staff report? Staff people are very well paid.
Why can’t they create a clear, simple to read staff report? Or does our empire building
City Manager have all her environmental minions doing too much stuff while she
operates as a big shot CEO via cell phone? Just asking. I don’t really know, other than
that things seem to be going downhill month by month in this City, especially in the
Public Works Department since she came to town.
I don’t believe Leanne Singleton was here when this Athens contract was first
negotiated with Athens and Gary Clifford promised to “knock our socks off”. I remember
virtually every word he said in those meetings. Geez, so much hype. He can sell
anything I suspect. Probably should be hired by Trump. He was pretty slick in my view.
He’s been back every year it seems, but instead now always to be digging a little
deeper into our residents’ and businesses’ wallets at every opportunity.
This latest ‘Nanny State’ imposed regimen from the ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-left-wing
California State Legislature does not mandate that you impose this for single family
residences so why are you on Council doing just that? Hermosa Beach does not need
Page 3 of 5
you on the City Council to be our Nanny! Just more ‘Nanny State’ imposed nonsense. I
seldom fill my 20-gallon barrel even half-way. And I have to now pay more? It’s no
wonder people vote for lying slime-balls like Donald Trump when there is so much of
this nonsense being rammed down our throats by the do-gooder ‘Nanny Staters’ on the
ultra-ultra-ultra-left, especially those of the ilk of Justin Massey, given especially the lies
in his very first mailer to already be inundating residents’ mailboxes. Many have already
commented to me of his lies in that mailer. Can’t trust much from attorney Massey it
seems.
I would recommend the following thusly: PLEASE STAFF AND CITY COUNCIL TAKE
NOTE;
1) Be sure you clarify that the 20-gallon barrels are unchanged and that those
using same do not receive the same fee increase of those using larger barrels.
We just had another annual increase in rates. These rate increases compound.
Do the people on staff designing these cost increases live in this city?
2) Be sure to clarify that the Green Barrels if forced upon residents are at no
additional cost. (I believe they are extra cost presently and I further don’t want
one anyway, nor do I have room for another barrel on the property)
3) Make sure you clarify that there is no requirement to have a Green Barrel.
4) Further I can assure you that I personally have no intention of having a food
waste garbage pail on my kitchen counter as per what Athens’ sales rep, Gary
Clifford, stated at a prior meeting. I don’t waste food in the first place to then be
placing it in a garbage pail on the kitchen counter for food to rot in and stink up
my home.
5) Further I and many in this city are getting sick and tired of you on the Hermosa
City Council, meeting after meeting, treating the city’s residents like idiots with all
this never-ending ‘Nanny State’ stuff being rammed down our throats. What is
wrong with you Hermosa Council people? Don’t you see that you have turned
into dictators with your smiling puppet-maestros and their sickening ever-present
patronization?
With regard to this latest “SHAM” “PROTEST HEARING” process, where it is virtually
99% impossible to ever have a vote that defeats what is being jammed down our
throats, I want to make it crystal clear that I absolutely, 100%, protest this latest rip-off
by the Hermosa Beach City Council and the California State Legislature. City Clerk, be
sure to tally me among the couple of hundred protestors. You forgot to count me on the
last protest for the sewer fee increase when I was the only one who evidently even
knew it was the time to protest. People should be able to protest up to the close of the
Public Hearing and it should take a vote of 50% to approve what you’re up to, not the
reverse as you are doing. This system is like having people being guilty until proven
Page 4 of 5
innocent. It’s completely backwards yet you keep on using it to scam Hermosa ’s
residents and businesses.
Further, there should be a single barrel system in Hermosa Beach and Athens, as
they said they prefer anyway, should be doing the sorting of all trash instead of
having three sets of trucks driving around this city, polluting this city with noise
and air pollution and wrecking the city’s street pavements week after week.
I will try to follow up in the following meeting(s) with a written submittal of how
well or poorly you all handled this latest rip-off Public Hearing of the Hermosa
residents and businesses via the impositions of this ever-more outrageous
California State Legislature Nanny State crapola.
And as an aside, also, Council, please direct publicly or otherwise that the City
Manager return the City’s ‘Organizational Chart’ to the Council Chamber’s wall.
The City Council Chamber is not an art gallery. Stuff on the walls should pertain
to the democratic processes not compete with museums and art galleries. What
are you trying to hide? Who came up with the idiotic idea to take down the City’s
Organizational Chart and other useful information and replace it with rookie
Councilmember Mary Campbell Collins husband’s art and others’ art? Their “art”
belongs in more appropriate places. I don’t recall there being any committee
appointed by the Council to select art for such an important peoples’ business
location. Who is it that has so much time on their hands to be sitting around
being paid to do such stupid and actually probably deceitful stuff?
Did the City Manager not want to have an updated version of the City’s
Organizational Chart showing just how big her empire was becoming at the top,
and also continue to let the people know that they, the Electorate, are at the very
top of the City’s Organizational Chart?
I’m not sure, but I believe it was Hany Fangary who first requested that former
City Manager Bakaly include the City’s Organizational Chart with the other
information placards. Something I have to commend those two for doing, if true.
If the current City Manager directed that the City’s Organizational Chart be taken
down, then that in my view would be grounds to fire her immediately. Although I
suspect she’s not long for Hermosa Beach as it is, especially after the Teen
Choice Beach event fiasco that was worked up 100% under her watch, secretly
worked up for over four full months, followed by a mere 24-hour noticed Friday
night May 31st meeting when the City Council rubber-stamped the secret workup.
Unbelievable, just unbelievable, the absolute arrogance of this City Manager/City
Council operation and that approval especially. No Coastal Commission contact
or approval. Nothing. Just up and down complete and total mismanagement,
and probably illegal activity by all concerned.
Page 5 of 5
Anyway that is the peoples Council Chamber not an art gallery! Put back
information that rightfully and appropriately belongs on the walls and which is
informative to the men, women, and children who attend meetings there on a
regular basis. Geez, the stupidity and deceitfulness of stuff going on in this city
at the top never ceases to amaze me, even at my old age.

project did not include repaving of the street,but with the construction of the corner access ramps,
curb and gutter,and poor condition of the existing pavement,staff recommends paving the street
immediately after the sidewalk project completion in order to provide a complete updated product for
this street.
Gentry has proven to be a sound contractor that delivers timely and efficient construction services,
therefore,staff obtained an estimate from them for the repaving of 8th street upon completion of the
sidewalk project.Having Gentry perform the work would obviate the setup and staging required by a
new entity.The cost to repave the street is $199,512.18,which is a competitive price based on recent
costs obtained by the City for other projects.The paving phase will consist of 2-inch grind and
overlay, including new thermoplastic striping.
While there are sufficient funds remaining to perform the paving of the street with the contingency
awarded for the project,staff requests an additional allocation of $100,000 for the paving to offset any
unknown circumstances found during construction of the last phase of the sidewalk project.Any
unused funds will be returned to CIP 186.
The construction agreement would also need an amendment for an additional $199,512.18,to a new
not to exceed amount of $913,512.18.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.PLAN
Hermosa was divided into seven elements,each with multiple goals.The creation of a complete and
connected sidewalk network along 8th Street would help accomplish several goals of the Mobility and
Infrastructure Elements.
Mobility
Goal 3. Public rights-of-way supporting a multimodal and people-oriented transportation system that
provides diversity and flexibility on how users choose to be mobile.
Policies
·3.1 Enhance public rights-of-way. Where right-of-way clearance allows, enhance public right-of
ways to improve connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists, disabled persons, and public transit
stops.
·3.2 Complete pedestrian network. Prioritize investment in designated priority sidewalks to
ensure a complete network of sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly amenities that enhances
pedestrian safety, access opportunities and connectivity to destinations.
·3.10 Require ADA standards. Require that all public rights-of-way be designed per Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards by incorporating crosswalks, curb ramps, pedestrian

signals, and other components to provide ease of access for disabled persons.
Goal 7. A transportation system that results in zero transportation-related fatalities and which
minimizes injuries.
Policies
·7.5 Appropriate sidewalk widths. Encourage design and construction plans that incorporate
sidewalks that are consistent in width to match pedestrian activity.
Infrastructure
Goal 2. Roadway infrastructure maintenance supports convenient, attractive, and complete streets
and associated amenities.
Policies
·2.3 Street and sidewalk standards. Require the use of standardized roadway, sidewalk,
parkway, curb and gutter designs to ensure continuity and consistency as property redevelops
over time.
Fiscal Impacts:
While there are enough funds available in the project accounts,staff requests a transfer of $100,000
in State Gas Tax Funds from CIP 186,Street Improvements Various Locations (Account number 115-
8186-4201)to CIP 173,8th Street Improvements (Account number 115-8173-4201)in the event some
unknown circumstances are encountered before the project is complete.Any unused funds would be
transferred back to CIP 186 upon completion of the project.

Matters Item-6-a Re: Expending $199,512.18 to Grind & Repave 8th Street. Thank
You.
September 7, 2019
To: Hermosa Beach City Council (Stacey Armato, Mary Campbell Collins,
Hany Fangary, Justin Massey, and Jeff Duclos), City Clerk, Finance Director,
City Treasurer, City Manager, and Contract City Attorney.
From: Howard Longacre, Hermosa Beach Resident.
Re: That it is not necessary to waste $199,512.18 of taxpayer money for a
NO BID add-on contract to unnecessarily “2 inch Grind and Repave” the perfectly
good asphalt surface of 8th-Street between Valley Drive and Hermosa Avenue.
There’s a far better, way-less-expensive, alternative approach.
City Council,
Read the following and SAVE
175-Thousand-Dollars
of the taxpayer’s money and obtain
essentially the same result.

Councilmembers and others:
You do have to be suspicious when you see a dollar amount that’s just a few dollars less
than a round number of $200-Thousand. Everyone will be asking on this one, who’s getting
the kickbacks with this sweetheart deal? This one is more than just obscene and
unconscionable, it’s really outrageous. As a civil engineer myself, and one of the longest-
standing proponents of the entire 8th Street Sidewalks project, I see this add-on proposal as
a completely unnecessary, wasteful attempt to “Gild the Lily”, and doing such is just plain
dead-wrong and frankly dishonest. So read on.
And, the following comments by me are given freely, and they are entirely my views and
opinions on all that I've stated herein.

You all know by now that it took six long years to finally get this relatively simple project of
having decent sidewalks along this important little stretch of 8th Street accomplished. That
was after decades and decades of absolutely unconscionable neglect with the city looking
the other way at what was going on along 8th Street.
The sidewalks are almost complete except for the sidewalk at the Eastern-most North-side
that runs from Bard Street Eastward to Valley Drive in front of a 3-Unit Condo under
construction, and then to the corner past some 25-feet of additional City land.
Note that the sidewalk at the 8th Street and Valley Drive N.W . corner certainly does need to
be widened with the City’s retaining wall that’s presently there being moved inward for the
widened corner ADA sidewalk. That is still a very dangerous problematic corner for school
children. I have a request into the City’s project engineer for information re: such details.
Nonetheless, ultimately as you recall, the contractor selected to do this ADA/Safe-Routes-
To-School sidewalks project was not the lowest bidder, and to be safe the Council did in fact
decide to spend about $170-Thousand more to accept the 2nd lowest bidder’s bid and avoid
the “non-responsive” low bidder’s bid.
Also the Plans and specifications do include a requirement for fully finishing the roadway’s
edges to be 100% complete to the existing pavement from any new concrete sidewalk,
curb, and gutter. That seems to be taking place, however now it appears that the contractor
may be assuming he’s going to be handed gratuitously another $200-Thousand to grind and
pave the roadway. That is not justifiable!
The entire section of 8-th Street (Valley Drive to Hermosa Avenue) along with most of the
segments in the S.W. Beach area were repaved in relatively recent years and have good
PCIs (Pavement Condition Indexes).
No city in the South Bay or probably anywhere grinds and repaves pavement in such good
condition. They do accomplish regular maintenance slurry-seals to maintain such
pavements, something Hermosa Beach has been neglecting to do such via a proper
maintenance schedule. I’m speaking here of Redondo Beach, Torrance, Manhattan Beach,
and El Segundo. When any of these cities actually grinds and repaves, it’s for a roadway
that is really in serious need, not a roadway with a PCI of 81.45 overall. Otherwise these
other cities utilize far less costly options.
Notwithstanding, this particular section of 8th Street itself, per the newest PCI report included
in the Pavement Management Program report of just 2 years ago indicates that the PCI of
this section is in fact a very good 81.45 o verall. That certainly doesn’t qualify for a grind and
repave.

Re: The wasting of $199,512 to unnecessarily Grind and Repave the asphalt surface of 8th Street.
Page 3 of 8
Data extracted from the Pavement Management Program Report of August, 2017.
Total pavement = 48,916 sq. ft. All PCI-s shown should be in the same approx. range.
The net Average-PCI over the 5 segments = ∑i (Areai * PCIi) / (Total Area) = 81.45
I.e., PCI = 81.45.
I decided to investigate 8th Street’s pavement and personally walked and inspected the
entire roadway from Valley Drive to Hermosa Avenue on Friday. The pavement is perfectly
fine. No engineer worth his salt would recommend grinding off 2” of good pavement and
replacing same with a 2” layer of asphalt just for cosmetics. That’s nuts!
Such a thin 2” layer will do nothing at all to reconnect areas of cut pavement a nd which
should be perfectly fine if properly patched , sealed and thusly joined by the professional
contractor that is present. Such cut and patched edges are accomplished all the time and
are quite normal with such rehabilitation of sidewalks, curb and gutters in conjunction with
asphalt pavement.
However, what I don’t understand, but thought was the case, is why the contract that was
put out to be bid did not include a first class ‘Slurry Seal’ after all the concrete and patching
work was completed. Something really does not compute there in my view?
It’s appearing to me now as though that detail may well have purposely been left off as a
standard trick to pull this scam of then saying to a lay council, we would best do a grind and
pave to “finish the product”. I of course do not know, but this looks extremely suspicious.
The stuff that goes down with such taxpayer funded and lucrative generic contracts is never-
ending and whether that is the case here or not, something does indeed look extremely
fishy.
Anyway, the bottom line is that it now appears that someone desires to “Gild the Lily” by
throwing another $200-Thousand onto this roadway via a NO-BID add-on contract
amendment equal to 25% of the original contract amou nt. This is unjustified.
After the rains come very soon, the street will be and look perfectly fine as it is, given that
the Contractor has to fully and properly patch the roadway, and restore any striping
damaged or modified as part of his present contract. And further, I frankly believe all should

Page 4 of 8
be quite suspicious of such Hermosa Beach massive add-on NO-BID contract amendments
that seem to be taking place more and more often. This has become a standard process to
eliminate bidding and is not a proper way to do things in the long run. Anyone involved in
such should surely understand that if the FBI were to do a government sting, people could
find themselves in jail for a significant time period.
Now, the fact is that this is a 100% unneeded add-on, and the City’s engineers, Reed
and Lucho, should both know it and state that to you. Their staff report essentially
even implies that very thing via smoke and mirrors language that implies the
reasoning as being little more than cosmetic. There is absolutely no engineering
discussion even mentioned regarding the need. My supplemental herin is giving
more engineering discussion than does the staff report.
However if the City Council does desire to “Gild the Lily” with regard to 8th Street
then the only thing actually needed after the above stated work is complete, would be
protection finishing of the pavement for its surface-sustainability during the rainy
seasons by applying a quality-level slurry-sealing of the entire roadway’s asphalt.
That will make it look like it’s been newly paved.
Thus, rather than expending approximately $4 per square foot for a grind and repaving, a 1st
class slurry sealing should be about $0.31 per square foot. Some additional restriping may
also be accomplished with same, however this street does not have but a single double line
in the middle and stop markers, along with some parking space markings which should be
the responsibility of the contractor in the present contract.
Slurry sealing, is the only thing to be justified for this roadway pavement’s present stage of
life requirement, and basis its square footage should cost approximately $15,164.
Adding to that amount any thermoplastic striping down the middle, and with new stop
markings and you should easily obtain the same “Gilding of the Lily” of the unnecessary
grinding off of perfectly good asphalt and repaving of the roadway with the same thin
amount at a ridiculous cost of $200-Thousand.
Council you should be able to thusly save a whopping $175,000 as such and have a full
“Gilding of the Lily” finished product. Do the right thing. You would best not continue to
flush the city’s needed road-paving tax dollars down the drain on whatever staff brings to
you. This money comes straight out of people’s pockets and there are far more needed
places to expend it on street paving than unjustified grinding and repaving of perfectly good
pavements that have many years of service life left.
Additionally: When I read the staff report for this item and saw absolutely nothing in same
from an engineering perspective as being the reason to be repaving the stretch (I do have a
degree in Civil Engineering and have noted many street grind-and-repavings over the last
55 years) and then saw all the rubbish about the “General Plan” yada, yada, yada, I
immediately wondered, was this actually written by an engineer or an environmentalist.

Page 5 of 8
I wondered, who is it that wants to fritter away over $175-Thousand to “Gild this Lily”?
Well I don’t know, but I doubt it was either of the two engineers whose names are on the
staff report (unless there’s some hidden corruption going on), so where did this really come
from given the fact that we have hundreds if not thousands of residents who have been
waiting for over three decades to see some work done on pavements with horrible PCI low
numbers in front of their own home.
So here follows an image clip of the 8th Street PCI map that interestingly shows the
locations of the residences of three present councilmembers as being all located directly
connected with this short stretch of 8th Street. $200-Thousand for them? As such I believe
that these three councilmembers should actually recuse themselves from this item. Sure
City Attorney Jenkins will say they don’t need to, however these three all should know that
they do have a direct ethical if not legal conflict, not to mention likely bias.
Let Jeff Duclos and Stacey Armato decide if what I am suggesting is not a perfectly
reasonable approach to simply Slurry Seal and restripe the short stretch of roadway.
Btw, Mary has been recusing herself all along with regard to this project, although she really
had no more conflict than did Justin Massey or Hany Fangary all along.
So this time maybe Justin and Hany should recuse themselves and let Mary vote with Jeff
and Stacey on this giveaway be it for the Slurry Seal or the wasteful and unjustified
expensive grind and repave. In both cases the average person will not know the difference
after the final result, nor will there be any substantive technical difference. The only
difference will be that there will be a potential cost saving of $175-Thousand in tax money.

Image showing three councilmembers residences apparently directly on
or in close proximity with this main East-West 8th Street roadway segment.
Additionally, I want to remind everyone that it was former Councilwomen Nanette Barragan
and Carolyn Petty, who were the catalysts to finally make this 8th Street sidewalks project
happen when they challenged former City Manager Tom Bakaly’s list of project budget-
priorities, some six years ago, during their first budget meeting of their first and only council
terms.
Bakaly was at the time absolutely incensed over Barragan’s and Petty’s challenge to his
budget design as I recall, but in any case Bakaly is out of here, thankfully, and the sidewalks
are now built, belatedly so, although the real reasons for Bakaly’s departure as City
Manager remain a de facto secret. In my view he had been de facto fired by a Council
majority when he left with all the pseudo Council accolades.
Additionally, were it not for Trent Larson, and the “Access Hermosa” organization’s
incessant hounding of the City Council at meetings, I suspect that the 8th Street Sidewalks
project would have been killed and never accomplished. Bakaly did all he could in my view
to delay the project but it was in fact Petty, Barragan, and Pete Tucker who were
instrumental in the commencement of the 8th Street Sidewalks design project 6 years ago,
with Michael DiVirgilio and Kit Bobko being more-or-less uninterested follow-alongs.

CONSIDERATION OF MEMBERSHIP WITH
INDEPENDENT CITIES ASSOCIATON
(City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider and provide direction on membership with
Independent Cities Association (ICA).
Background:
At the September 13,2016 City Council meeting,the Councilmembers voted to withdraw
membership from ICA due to concerns that the organization was not being managed well and it was
no longer beneficial for the City to continue membership (Attachment 1).The vote to withdraw
membership came with the understanding that Councilmembers could still attend ICA Seminars as a
non-member City and that membership to ICA could be re-evaluated in the future.
On June 11,2019,Council evaluated the City’s current membership with California Contract Cities
Association (CCCA)and discussed re-joining ICA (Attachment 2).Council directed staff to maintain
membership with CCCA and did not provide direction to change the City’s status with ICA.Council
decided to continue monitoring and evaluating these relationships moving forward.
At the July 23,2019 City Council meeting,Mayor Armato and Councilmember Duclos reported
on their attendance at the ICA Summer Seminar from July 12-14,2019 in Carlsbad,California
(Attachment 3).Councilmember Duclos reported that it was the 59th annual meeting and there were
155 registered attendees representing 44 Cities and according to ICA,it was the most ever attended
Summer Seminar.Councilmember Duclos shared that a number of very interesting topics were
covered including the Census,Homelessness,Affordable Housing and Climate Change.He found
the Seminar to be excellent,the speakers and format to be good,and that it was good to see they
had revived after a couple of rough years.Mayor Armato also reported on the Census,
Homelessness,and Economic Development presentations.Mayor Armato closed her report by
stating that Manhattan Beach Mayor Pro Tem,Richard Montgomery asked the City to consider re-
joining ICA and stated that the leadership issues that previously existed are gone.Mayor Armato
requested that the item be agendized for consideration at a future meeting.The request was
