RECENT EMPHASIS ON DOG BEACH ENFORCEMENT IS OUT OF STEP WITH SMALL BEACH TOWN VALUES IN SO MANY WAYS!
The city manager & city council want to punish the dog owners and let the restaurant owners and people claiming their Covid fatigue disability entitlement subvert the
county Covid safety protocols left and right at our beaches and parks in the midst of a raging pandemic.
Boy has this city got its priorities twisted.
But that’s what happens when you get a gentrified city council and a large enough base of people that don’t know what a small beach town culture really was.
Times change I guess and every generation needs to “mark it’s spot” one way or another.
Too bad we are going to end up looking like a second rate version of a tourist trap for the rich and famous if we continue down this path.
Dogs will make a return to our beaches when enough people realize there is more to small town beach culture than including it in the vision statement of the
cities general plan.
Dogs will return to the beach when enough people realize that Hermosa can be more than a tourist attraction for the rich and wannabe famous.
Dogs will return to the beach when our city realizes there are more important values and priorities than our city managers vision of making downtown Hermosa
look like 2nd street in Long Beach where she served on the city council for what 10 years.
Dogs will return to the beach when people realize that the restaurants and glitzy special event culture we have embarked on barely provides anyone living in
Hermosa with a living-wage; but they suck the quality of life out of many of our neighborhoods.
Dogs will return to the beach when this city gets its priorities straight and throws out the city council who would basically raffle off $100,000+ worth of federal
Covid grants to local businesses the restaurants some of whom subverted county Covid safety dining protocols - rather than support our schools with their
legitimate Covid related expenses.
This is no small town beach culture.
Schools would come first last and foremost if that were the case but our city council didn’t even consider that.
They were too busy spending another $100,000 plus revitalizing downtown with their pet downtown single lane road diet project on Hermosa and Pier Ave.
Oh and did I mention the QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS the council & city manager frittered away on that relatively ugly rendition of our city logo at
the intersection Hermosa & Pier and the FAKE TAR COBBLESTONE CROSSWALKS?
But it looks great from a helicopter!
And finally Dogs will return to the beach when residents realize the inherent beauty of the beach and childhood memories of walking on the beach with your
family and dog mean a lot more to a small town beach culture that a red carpet Teen Choice award with police snipers on our small town roofs.
Don’t give in mobile warning signs.
Tell the city council and the city manager you ain’t buying their priorities and you want them to find a way to return dogs to our beaches.
Tell your council member that you know it takes only a couple of a thousand votes to win a council seat and if they don’t get their priorities in order your going
to vote to give someone else a chance!

Please submit this Nextdoor poll on how effectively Hermosa beach is handling speeding vehicles and pedestrian safety as a written communication to the city council under the title of
TRAFFIC SAFETY.
In 5 days with 156 respondents the verdict is clear.
The question is will the council agendize this and figure out if there are underlying causes that can be fixed.
I know in my case it’s not that I’ve been hit a crosswalk; it’s the increasing frequency of near misses.
Also, can you please let me know when the next State required Engineering Traffic Study (ETS) will be done. The last one was nearly 5 years ago in August of 2016.

Dear Mr. Sarmiento
Please include this as a written communication to the city council AND the Parks Commission
under the title of “Valley Park Covid Enforcement” in the agendas for both meetings
START WRITTEN COMMUNICATION:
Dear Mr Sarmiento
For the second week in a row at Valley Park I have observed a steady increase in the number
of children doing what kids do, participating in organized sport activities, tugging, tackling,
rolling on the ground wrestling with each other and completely ignoring the mask laws,
distancing requirements, ignoring no multihousehold group activities bans.
I know “bAH HUmbug!”
But therewere about 120 children I observed in the park at about 4pm today.
Less than 20% were wearing masks.
No one was distancing.
Their parents were also clustered together not wearing masks for the most part and not
distancing.
I don’t blame the kids.
But in the face of the new more infectious variants this reckless behavior that is being
condoned by parents all over valley park represents a hazard to our community.
Moreover, it is clearly evident that the picnic area is being used by large multihousehold
dining events regularly on Friday evening and on weekends.
Distancing and masks are not being used in clear violation of plain old common sense the
county ban on multihousehold group activities.
There are new Covid variant is starting to take hold in LA County and across the
country
Infections and deaths are starting to inch up.
Dr Fauci says the new more infectious strains will be dominant in LA county by the end
of March.
Approximately 60 percent of all Covid transmission is caused by presymptomatic
individuals who hadn’t yet developed symptoms and asymptomatic people who never
developed symptoms, according to the study published in Journal of the American
Medical Association a highly respected peer reviewed medical journal.
These are exactly the types ignoring the safety protocols at valley park.
https://www.healthline.com/health-news/most-covid-19-cases-come-from-people-without-
symptoms
Children without symptoms carry a higher Covid viral load than adults who are in intensive
care units ((ICU’s) with severe symptoms according to an article published at Harvard.edu
Quote:
“I was surprised by the high levels of virus we found in children of all ages, especially in the
first two days of infection,” says Lael Yonker, director and lead author of the study.
“I was not expecting the viral load to be so high. You think of a hospital, and of all of the
precautions taken to treat severely ill adults, BUT THE VIRAL LOADS OF THESE
HOSPITALIZED PATIENT’S ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN A ‘HEALTHY
CHILD’ WHO IS WALKING AROUND WITH A HIGH SARS-CoV-2 VIRAL LOAD.”
end quote
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/08/looking-at-children-as-the-silent-spreaders-of-
sars-cov-2/
Now here is the thing, in the City Managers report to the City Council in the February 9, city
council meeting I believe our police Chief implied the enforcement of Covid safety protocols
is being effectively handled at our parks and beaches by Covid safety officers.
I believe our Chief implied that the Covid safety officers regularly patrol our parks and
regularly issue warnings and citations.
Well i have to report I’m at valley park at least twice a day and I haven’t seen a yellow vested
Covid safety officer at valley park in several months. And when I did see them iin the early
Fall they just passed through.
I know that’s not evidence.
So accordingly I am submitting a public records request for records that will determine the
actual frequency of Covid safety officers patrols in valley park and the number of verbal
warnings, written warnings and mask-up citations that have actually been issued at Valley
Park.
I hope I’m wrong and have to apologize but like I said I haven’t seen a Covid safety officer
here at valley park in months.
I saw them downtown on many occasions though.
If I’m right I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy to mislead the public but it’s a factual mistake that
needs to be corrected and action to rectify this condition should be undertaken.
Thank you.

RE: Hermosa Beach Police Department Corruption Scandal
Dear Councilwoman Armato:
Thank you and the City staff for all the support in my public records request during the course of my lengthy
investigation into the Hermosa Beach Police Department. My two original 2018 emails to you while I was an
Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commissioner are attached. (Exhibit A.) As you know this investigation was
triggered because knowingly and willingly made false statements in an October 18, 2017 Easy
Reader News article regarding my 2014 case.
It is completely unacceptable that a member of the HBPD Command Staff would make false statements to the press
regarding a City official during a City Council election in order to cover up police misconduct.
The following Hermosa Beach Police Department personnel were involved in the original obstruction of justice, the
cover up or the retaliation:
• Former Police Chief
• Lieutenant (Former Sergeant)
• Lieutenant (Former Detective Sergeant)
• Sergeant (Former Detective Sergeant)
• Officer (Former Detective)
• Officer (Former Detective)
• City Prosecutor
• Senior Deputy City Prosecutor
• Deputy City Prosecutor (Former Law Clerk/Paralegal)
As stated previously, City Attorney ’ law firm provided City Prosecution Services from November 2013
to September 2014. However, I did not find any evidence that City Prosecutor or Assistant City
Prosecutor were involved in any misconduct. The likely scenario is that Detective Sergeant
buried the case from prosecution until the change over to the City Prosecutor’s Office with the City of Redondo Beach.
Since my investigation is concluded by naming names, it is time for the City to address this police corruption scandal.

Subject: Re: Public Records Request
Mayor Pro Tem Armato:
Thank you very much for your assistance with my Public Records Request.
Unfortunately much of what I requested was considered exempt by the Public Records Act. However I am the victim in
this case, and my rights under Marsy's Law entitle me access to the records of investigation.
In a October 18, 2017 Easy Reader article, LT. stated there was nothing wrong with the department’s work in
the case delivered to the City Prosecutor on September 16, 2014.
Additionally for the December 14, 2014 City Council meeting the Chief of Police had detailed knowledge of the case as
Patrick Malloy’s was facing a potential CUP revocation hearing.
If there is nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case, then there should not be an issue of releasing the
case file to me. The case file should include the following:
1. My statement to the investigating detective
2. The perpetrator's statement to the investigating detective
3. A copy of the security video of the attack
I believe there to be overwhelming circumstantial evidence of misconduct and corruption, which also includes motive.
Therefore I am declaring my intent to file a formal complaint, and request an investigation.
Upon filing my formal complaint with the City Attorney, I will submit to you my draft press release for your review.
A press release is in order when a current Commissioner and former City Council Candidate files a misconduct and
corruption complaint against the Police Department, the City Prosecutor's Office, the Chief of Police and the City of
Hermosa Beach.
At your convenience, please let me know if the case file will be made available to me or if I should move forward with
a formal complaint.
Very respectfully,
Matt McCool

Subject: Public Records Request
Mayor Pro Tem Armato:
I hope all is well.
I am following up with you regarding my October 10, 2017 email. I believe the best way to begin resolving the
situation is to file a Public Records Request through you.
Fortunately from the “Standing Room” incident there have been refinements to the Public Records Request
process to help ensure that the community and Police Department are good partners.
Along with this Public Records Request, I wish to invoke my rights under Marsy’s Law. Our City Attorney can provide
further clarification of my rights.
Please be advised this is a stalking case, and as in most stalking cases the victim is unaware of the stalking until it is
too late. This incident was a premeditated orchestrated violent attack involving multiple people, which began with a
dangerous sucker punch without warning or provocation, while I was seated. As a result of this violent attack I
sustained a permanent spinal injury, and still endure chronic cervical spine and thoracic spine pain.
Fortunately immediately after the attack, I had the maturity and discipline to follow procedure. Additionally I was
assisted by present off-duty law enforcement to secure the security video.
While being deposed, even the defense attorney conceded this incident was an attack.
A finally point is that our Chief of Police stated before City Council that this would have occurred no matter where at a
given point.
The crux in resolving this issue hinders on two points:
1) My statement taken by the investigating detective
2) The court transcript of my victim impact statement, before the judge made a sentencing offer
Upon reviewing these two items, you will fully understand the situation.
Therefore I am respectfully requesting the follow as a Public Records Request:
1. The entire case file for 4SY008400, which should include the following:
• My statement taken by the investigating detective
• My emergency room medical records
• The security video
• My attorney’s deposition of my attacker (Submitted to the City Prosecutor)
• A supplemental police report with refuting evidence from the initial police report
• All correspondence regarding notification of the criminal justice proceedings
2. Any and all correspondence and records from Chief of Police regarding the 10-21-14 Planning Commission meeting,
including all Commissioners and Mr. Fred Hahn.
3. Any and all correspondence and records from Chief of Police regarding the 12-16-14 City Council meeting, including
all Councilmembers and Mr. . (I should have been invited to speak before City Council)
4. Any and all correspondence and records regarding Sergeant October 2015 civil court appearance
including any correspondence from the defense attorneys.
5. Any and all correspondence and records from the defense attorneys with any Hermosa Beach Police Department
personnel and City personnel, including the City Prosecutor.
Upon review of these documents if you suspect misconduct or corruption, I advise reading page 93 of the deposition I
provided to the City Prosecutor. I believe the motive for the mishandling of this case is identified.
Please let me know if I can be any assistance in this Public Records Request.
I look forward to meeting with you to reconciling the Public Records Request against my civil case records, and
discussing the next steps.
Very respectfully,
Matt McCool

VIII. CITY MANAGER REPORTS
City Manager Lowenthal began by providing an update on COVID-19. She shared the
number of new infections, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 are on the decline
in Los Angeles County. She added that the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Health has identified at least 12 cases of the more infectious U.K. variant of the virus in
County residents. She closed her COVID-19 update by sharing how the U.K. variant and
other more infectious variants are circulating in the state and County and the importance
of continuing to follow County health directives.
City Manager Lowenthal then provided an update on outdoor dining expansion. She
shared that Hermosa Beach restaurants continue to expand their outdoor dining decks
into the spaces created by the City’s Lane Reconfiguration Project. Most recently, Radici,
Zanes and Paisanos restaurants have expanded their dining decks. Three additional
restaurants are in the process of expanding their outdoor dining.
Ms. Lowenthal moved on to provide a quick reminder that small businesses in Hermosa
Beach that have been impacted by the COVID -19 pandemic can apply for grants of
$10,000 each to meet payroll and other operational expenses. The applications process
begins on March 1 and ends March 5. The Los Angeles County Development Authority
is overseeing the Small Business Grant Assistance Program. It will hold a lottery to
determine which applicants receive a grant, and selected businesses will be asked to
complete a comprehensive application form. This program is for Hermosa Beach
businesses only.
City Manager Lowenthal pivoted to share information about the upcom ing May 11, 2021
special election to fill a City Council vacancy. She shared that the Los Angeles County
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk will begin mailing ballots on April 12. The May 11
election will be conducted through the mail, which will help to ensu re safety during the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Official sample ballot booklets will be mailed to registered
voters on April 20. Voters may also drop off a ballot at the Vote -By-Mail drop box located
behind the Hermosa Beach library across from City Hall o r at the County Registrar’s
office. These ballots must be dropped off before 8 p.m. on May 11 to be counted. Any
mailed ballot must arrive no later than May 14 to be counted. This date includes a three -
day grace period for mail delivery.
City Manager Lowenthal closed her report by sharing an update on the beach mat path.
She elaborated that Hermosa Beach has installed a pilot beach path that is made of
interlocking plastic tiles near 11th Street at the beginning of the summer in 2020. She
added that consideration was given to the mats being used at other South Bay beaches.
But through feedback from the community, it was determined that the beach tiles being
utilized are a better fit for Hermosa’s needs. As continued community feedback was
received, adjustments like relocating, widening, and extending the path south of the Pier
were implemented. The current location of the path was selected because it is considered
a high usage area. Staff continues to monitor the performance of the tiles while also
meeting the requirements for Americans with Disability Act. Once the winter sand berm
is removed, staff plans on extending the path further towards the water while still allowing
safety and operational vehicles a path of travel.

REPORT 21-0165
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 9, 2021
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF RECLASSIFICATION OF PERSONNEL ANALYST TO HUMAN
RESOURCES ANALYST, CLASS SPECIFICATION FOR HUMAN RESOURCES ANALYST AND
CONTINUE TO ESTABLISH THE POSITION IN THE UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEE GROUP
(Human Resources Manager Vanessa Godinez)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Approve reclassification of the position of Personnel Analyst to Human Resources Analyst;
and
2.Approve the class specification for Human Resources Analyst; and
3.Affirm that the bargaining unit for this classification remains with the Unrepresented Employee
Group.
Executive Summary:
In the current Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget,the Human Resources Department has two positions,
Human Resources Manager and Personnel Analyst.The position title of Personnel Analyst is
antiquated and does not align with industry standard.Staff recommends reclassifying the position title
to Human Resources Analyst to better align with the industry standard.The class specification for

VISTA SCHOOL NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
(Environmental Analyst Leeanne Singleton)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Interagency Cost Sharing
Agreement (Attachment 1)between the Hermosa Beach City School District (School District)and
the City of Hermosa Beach (City)for the City’s proportional share of work to be performed by the
School District’s authorized contractors.
Executive Summary:
In June 2016,voters approved the Measure S school bond and created the Measure S School
Facilities Project,which includes the reconstruction of North School (since named Vista School)and
revitalization/modernization of the School District's two current schools.To comply with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),the School District prepared an Environmental Impact Report
(EIR)for the North School Reconstruction Project and took action to certify the Final EIR and
approve the project on January 9, 2019.
Following certification of the Final EIR by the School Board,the City and School District
representatives met to collaborate on the conditions to be included in a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU)memorializing the commitment of both parties to work together collaboratively
to safely manage transportation,traffic,and student loading and unloading activities,primarily
through the development of a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan (NTMP)for the streets and
neighborhood surrounding North School.On February 27,2019,the City Council and School Board
approved the MOU.
As part of the MOU,the City and District agreed to form a stakeholder group that would share
information and gather public input on relevant topics to be included in the NTMP.Over the last 12
months,City and District staff and the consulting team collaborated on the evaluation of the study
area and facilitation of a stakeholder working group and community workshops to inform the
development of the NTMP.
A draft NTMP was released in January 2020 and presented to the City Council,School Board,and

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0168
A draft NTMP was released in January 2020 and presented to the City Council,School Board,and
the community for initial feedback and discussion ahead of formal action by the City Council and
School Board.Community feedback on the January 2020 Draft NTMP was solicited through February
28, 2020.
A revised draft NTMP was presented to the City’s Public Works Commission in July 2020.In August
and September 2020,additional analysis was conducted on the revised draft NTMP by City and
School District staff.The City Council and School Board adopted the NTMP in October 2020 and staff
from the City and School District are working to implement the items recommended for near-term
implementation in the NTMP.
The School District and their contractor,Erickson Hall,are working to complete both on-site and off-
site improvements including many of the near-term measures identified in the NTMP with a planned
school opening date of April 12,2021.Since the costs to implement the near-term recommendations
of the NTMP are shared between the City and School District,staff have prepared a Draft
Interagency Cost Sharing Agreement,to identify the measures proposed for implementation and the
City’s proportional share of work to be performed by the School District’s authorized contractors.
Analysis:
Interagency Cost Sharing Agreement
The School District has retained construction contractor Erickson Hall to perform the construction
work for Vista School as well as the off-site improvements to the public right-of-way adjacent to the
school site.The off-site improvement work to be performed by the contractor on behalf of the School
District already includes street and sidewalk improvements adjacent to the school site.The
implementation of an Interagency Cost Sharing Agreement (Attachment 1)would allow the School
District to pay its contractor to perform additional street and sidewalk improvements in the area
around the school and allow the City to reimburse the School District for the City’s share of said
costs.This arrangement would ensure that both Parties’traffic improvements would be consistent
with the NTMP and result in cost and time savings.
The total estimated costs to implement the striping and curb ramp upgrades as listed in Attachment 1
is $46,618.32.Of that total,the District would be responsible for $22,536.00 and the City would be
responsible for $24,082.32.
While the Interagency Cost Sharing Agreement does not include all of the NTMP near-term
measures,it does cover those measures which the City cannot complete with existing staff resources
and would otherwise need to hire a contractor to perform the work.
There are two types of additional near-term measures that are not covered in the Interagency Cost
Sharing Agreement and will be implemented following traffic engineering design and additional
resident input-the proposed one-way conversion of 26th Street and the installation of speedhumpsCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/5/2021Page 2 of 5

REPORT 21-0168
resident input-the proposed one-way conversion of 26th Street and the installation of speedhumps
proposed for Park Avenue/25th Street,Silverstrand Avenue,and Myrtle Avenue.Further coordination
with residents along these streets is expected in the coming months,and the City will implement
these measures this spring or summer.
Other Implementation Efforts
There are additional non-infrastructure measures included in the NTMP to be implemented. Brief
updates on these non-infrastructure recommendations are provided below:
·California Office of Traffic Safety Grant for Education and Enforcement Measures-the
City and Hermosa Beach Police Department submitted a grant application in January 2021 to
the California Office of Traffic Safety that,if awarded,would include funding for school area
traffic enforcement efforts and bike and pedestrian safety curriculum/training/materials for
students helping to implement safe routes to school education and enforcement
recommendations included in the NTMP.
·Safe Routes to School Trip Planner-the City and School District have collaborated to
develop a Safe Routes to School trip planner that identifies preferred routes based on safe
routes to school infrastructure, school entrances/access points, the area of the City students
are coming from, and the mode of transportation students choose to use. The tool can be
used to plan routes for each of the City’s three public schools and can be found online here:
<https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/1cd58235054346948624d123291ca5de>
·Crossing Guard Contract and Locations-the City’s Crossing Guard Contract,managed by
the Police Department,has been updated to incorporate crossing guards as identified in the
NTMP for the area around Vista School.
·Adaptive Management Program Pre-Project Traffic Counts-in February 2021,the City
conducted traffic volume and speed counts on streets surrounding Vista School to supplement
traffic count data collected in 2019 and 2016 as part of the project EIR.Additional counts will
be conducted following school opening to inform the adaptive management program and
identify where additional measures may be warranted or adjusted to facilitate traffic safety in
the neighborhood surrounding Vista School.
General Plan Consistency
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.The
development of the NTMP related to North School would help implement our collective community
vision to provide exceptional local schools to the Hermosa Beach community and support several
goals of the Governance Element, Land Use Element, and Mobility Element.
Governance Element
Goal 1 - A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.

INTERAGENCY COST SHARING AGREEMENT
This Interagency Cost Sharing Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of March , 2021
(“Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, a municipal corporation
(the “City”) and the HERMOSA BEACH CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, a school district (“School
District”). City and School District are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the
“Parties” or individually as a “Party.”
RECITALS
A. The Parties have developed a Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan
(“NTMP”) for the North Elementary School, which was renamed to the Hermosa Vista School
(“Vista School”) in October 2020, to address traffic concerns on nearby residential streets and
implement traffic solutions/recommendations in accordance with the NTMP more particularly
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and,
B. Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference describes the
near-term projects that the City and School District will ach install before the Vista School opens
and outlines the financial arrangement between the Parties regarding the installation of such
improvements on the Vista School site and its adjacent public right-of-way; and,
C. The School District has already retained construction contractor Erickson Hall
(“Erickson Hall”) to perform the construction work for the Vista School Reconstruction project
(“Project”); and,
D. The School District will pay Erickson Hall to install the near term infrastructure
improvements (“Improvements”) as described in Exhibit B, and the City will reimburse the
School District for its share of costs for Erickson Hall to install the Improvements; and,
E. The Parties find that the Improvements are not subject to public bidding requirements
under Graydon v. Pasadena Redevelopment Agency, 104 Cal.App.3d 631, 636 (1980) because
the advertisement for competitive bids would be undesirable and will not produce an advantage
for the following reasons: the School District has already awarded its construction contract for
the Vista School project to Erickson Hall, a contractor with considerable school construction
experience and skills through a public bidding process; the Improvements must be installed by
April 2021; the contractor is already doing similar improvements related to the project within the
public right-of-way; the Vista School is scheduled to open on April 12, 2021 and requiring the
Parties to satisfy additional public bidding requirements for the Improvements would delay the
completion of traffic safety improvements that support the safe and efficient drop-off and pick-
up of students and traffic patterns in the neighborhood surrounding the school; allowing the
School District to pay its contractor to perform the Improvements and the City to reimburse the
School District for said costs would ensure that both Parties’ traffic improvements would be
consistent with the NTMP and result in cost and time savings by not subjecting the
2
Improvements to public bidding.
F. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to share the cost for payment
of the Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, and for other good, valuable, and adequate consideration, the Parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Cost Sharing Between the Parties: The City and School District shall each be
responsible for the costs of infrastructure improvements as follows:
(a) The School District is responsible for the share of costs of Improvements as
described in Exhibit B.
(b) The School District shall be initially responsible for all implementation costs
of the Improvements described in Exhibit B. The City shall reimburse the School District for a
portion of all actual costs of Improvements as described in Exhibit B. This compensation shall
be due and payable to the School District at the time the Improvements are completed and the
School District invoices the City for such reimbursement. The City agrees to pay the School
District within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. The City shall not be responsible for
payment of any Improvements not listed as Improvements in Exhibit B, without the prior written
consent of the City being requested to pay such additional amount.
(c) If the City objects to any portion of the invoice, it shall provide written notice
to the School District of said objections within ten (10) days from the receipt of the invoice and
the Parties shall then engage in good faith efforts to resolve such issues through informal
discussions. In the event the City does not submit such an objection to the School District within
said 10-day period, the City will be deemed to have approved said invoice. In regard to any
objection regarding the services performed by School District’s contractor, the Parties shall
jointly seek to resolve such issues with said contractor.
2. Effective Date: This Agreement shall be effective on the date first written above.
3. Term and Termination: The term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date
to the date of completion of performance of the Improvements by the School District’s contractor
in accordance with Exhibit B. This Agreement shall remain in effect during the term unless
earlier terminated under the following procedures:
(a) Notice and Opportunity to Cure: If either Party to this Agreement believes that the
other Party has failed to perform any obligation of that Party in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement (“Default”), the Party alleging the Default shall provide written notice (“Default
Notice”) to the other Party, setting forth the nature of the alleged Default. Unless otherwise
provided by a specific term of this Agreement, the Party claimed to be in Default shall have: (i)
with respect to a Default involving the payment of money, ten (10) days after its receipt of the
Default Notice to completely cure such Default, and (ii) with respect to any other type of
Default, thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Default Notice to completely cure such Default
3
or, if such Default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, to commence
the cure of such Default within the thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute the cure to
completion thereafter. If the Party claimed to be in Default does not cure such Default within the
time periods and procedures as set forth herein, the Party alleging Default may then terminate
this Agreement.
4. General Provisions:
(a) Relationship of the Parties: Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or
construed by the Parties or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent,
or partnership or joint venture, or any association between the School District and the City, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any act of the Parties shall be deemed to
create any relationship other than as specified herein, nor shall this Agreement be construed,
except as expressly provided herein, to authorize either Party to act as the agent for the other.
(b) Indemnification. The School District agrees to protect, indemnify and save harmless
City and its officers, officials and employees from and against all claims, demands and causes or
action on account of personal injuries, property damage or death arising out of the negligent or
wrongful performance of work performed by the School District hereunder. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive termination of this Agreement.

COMMUNITY CONTEXT
The City of Hermosa Beach is located within the southwestern coastal
portion of Los Angeles County in what is commonly referred to locally
as the “South Bay” area. The City is bounded on the north by the City
of Manhattan Beach, on the south by the City of Redondo Beach, on
the east by the City of Redondo Beach and the City of Manhattan
Beach, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. The city limits for
Hermosa Beach encompass a relatively small land area,
approximately 1.4 square miles.
School Configuration
The Hermosa Beach City School District provides public education in
the City of Hermosa Beach providing instruction for students in
Kindergarten through eighth grade. High school age residents of
Hermosa Beach attend Mira Costa High School or Redondo Union
High School in Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, respectively.
In June 2016 the voters of Hermosa Beach passed Measure S and the
Hermosa Beach City School District created the Measure S School
Facilities Program which called for the reconstruction of North School
and the revitalization/modernization of the School District's two
current schools, to create a three-school district in which schools are
organized by grade level.
Safe Routes to School Network
The Mobility Element of PLAN Hermosa, the General Plan for the City
of Hermosa Beach identifies a proposed Safe Routes to School
Network that, when implemented, connects each of the District’s
three school campuses, a private school located in east Hermosa
Beach, and the high schools located in the city’s neighboring
jurisdictions.
The intended safe routes to school network was developed based on
input from parents of students through a 2016 survey and through
collaboration between the City and School District to encourage
students and parents that wish to walk or bike to and from school. The
network is provided in Figure 1 and assists in identifying locations for
crossing guards, assessing capital improvement needs, and
evaluating safety and enforcement measures.

is a community-based process that begins and ends with residents
and community members to find solutions to traffic concerns on
neighborhood streets within a defined area.
The objective is to provide safe, comfortable streets and improve the
quality of life in our neighborhoods by developing and implementing
innovative and effective transportation solutions to make residential
streets safer and more comfortable for everyone to use.
This program provides community members the opportunity to not
only voice their concerns regarding traffic related issues such as
speeding, traffic collisions, and cut-through traffic, but also work to
solve traffic related concerns by considering various traffic calming
solutions. As options are considered, the surrounding street network
must be carefully evaluated to avoid shifting impacts from one area
to another.
Strategies to address these issues generally come from a large toolbox
of improvements that can be implemented include updating street
signs, adding pavement markers and roadway striping, increased
enforcement, and items such as traffic diverters and speed lumps and
are tailored based on the strategies that are likely to be most effective
in addressing the specific traffic concerns of the neighborhood.
The NTMP process duration varies depending on the severity of the
issues, size of the neighborhood study area, level of community
engagement needed, and the types of improvements
recommended. For less complex issues, traffic calming improvements
may be implemented within a few months. For projects that require
substantial design and construction, the process may take up to a
year to develop and longer to implement.
Once implemented, additional data is typically collected to compare
pre and post implementation scenarios and determine whether the
measures implemented are effectively addressing the concerns
identified in the NTMP. This iterative process provides opportunities to
refine and improve the solutions implemented either in the affected
neighborhood or in other similar NTMP efforts.

Figure 2 – North School Study Area
STUDY AREA
North Elementary School is located at 417 25th Street in the northern
part of Hermosa Beach, north of 25th Street, east of Myrtle Avenue,
south of 26th Street, and west of Valley Park. Morningside Drive dead-
ends at the southeast edge of the site and picks up north of the site
at the intersection of 26th Street. The streets directly adjacent to the
school are narrow residential streets and the nearest arterial streets
are Gould Avenue to the north and Valley Drive to the east.
The Study Area for the Neighborhood Transportation Management
Plan includes the local streets immediately surrounding the school site
and is generally bounded by Ardmore Dr to the east, 27th St/Gould
Ave to the north, Manhattan Ave to the west, and 24th St to the south
(with the intersection of Monterey Blvd and Park Blvd also included,
as shown in Figure 2.
NORTH SCHOOL PROJECT DESIGN
The improvements at North School include construction of a two-story
classroom and administration building (main building), multipurpose
building, loading and parking areas, play areas, and associated
school improvements. An asphalt playground will be developed
between the two buildings, and a natural turf field will be installed in
the eastern portion of the site; the field will be supported above the
grade of the hillside by a retaining wall. A surface parking lot with 41
stalls will be developed in the western portion of the site, and vehicular
access to the site was proposed from 25th and 26th Streets.
North School is planned to serve the District’s 3rd and 4th grade
students and is designed to accommodate a maximum enrollment of
510 students. While View School is under construction in 2021, North
School is anticipated to accommodate the District’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
grade students estimated at approximately 400 students in 2021.
Vehicular access to the site will be from 25th street; pedestrian access
would be from four access points: 25th Street with direct access from
the proposed passenger loading area on 25th Street, 26th Street at the
eastern perimeter of the parking lot with direct access from the
proposed passenger loading area on Myrtle Avenue, 26th Street at the
intersection of Morningside Drive, and end of the cul-de-sac on 26th
Street in the southeast portion of the campus
NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
GOALS
The City of Hermosa Beach and the Hermosa Beach City School
District sought the development of the Neighborhood Transportation
Management Plan for the neighborhood surrounding North
Elementary School to achieve the following goals:
1. Identify solutions that will enhance public
safety and traffic flow at North School
without causing delays in the school’s
construction, which may include
additional offsite loading and unloading
zones on public property.
2. Maximize the efficient use of limited
funds of the City and School District and
leverages outside funding opportunities.
3. Utilize a collaborative process to
incorporate City, School District, and
community input on the design and
operation of transportation facilities and
traffic concerns.
4. Comply with the conditions set forth in
the MOU and the Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program for the North
School EIR.
5. Can be completed by March 31, 2020,
including adoption of plan by both the
School Board and City Council.
2 history
NORTH SCHOOL Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan 7
NORTH SCHOOL SITE HISTORY
Historical maps show the project site developed as early as 1912. Two
residential dwellings, including one that operated as a Baptist church,
were on the western portion of the property. The dwellings eventually
moved away as the school expanded. The main school building on
25th Street was constructed in 1924 after the City of Hermosa Beach
passed a bond measure to build new grammar schools. In 1933, an
earthquake with an epicenter in Long Beach damaged the building.
Although the school reopened eight days after the earthquake, the
building was restored in 1934. Two new buildings (kindergarten building
and classroom building) were constructed in 1938/1939 with federal
money under the New Deal Program. In 1958, the District constructed
another kindergarten classroom and five-classroom building to house
“Baby Boom” children. In the 1970s and ‘80s, the District experienced
declining enrollment, and in 1984, North School was closed and leased
to various public and private institutional entities until 2018.
LONG RANGE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
The District completed a Long-Range Facilities Master Plan in June
2014 (2014 FMP). Based on feedback gathered from the FPAC, the
2014 FMP included four layouts to redevelop the North School site. All
four options identified school parking along Morningside Drive at
Gould Avenue. Option D of the 2014 FMP was selected as the
preferred plan during the District’s 2014 Measure Q bond campaign.
2014 MEASURE Q BOND
In 2014, the District placed Measure Q on the November 2014 ballot.
Measure Q failed by 32 votes. It would have authorized the District to
issue $54 million in bonds. With the loss of Measure Q, the District
conducted a tracking poll and learned that the bond failed mainly
because the Hermosa Beach community wanted to preserve the
City’s limited open space; the community did not want the proposed
school to encroach onto limited parkland.
2016 MEASURE S BOND
With the information gathered from the tracking poll, the District
conducted community envisioning workshops that ultimately resulted
in two options to reconstruct the North School site within the former
school’s general footprint. The new layouts were used as the preferred
plans during the District’s June 2016 Measure S Bond. Measure S
passed by 59.72 percent and includes $59 million dollars for facility
improvements at all three District school sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PROJECT APPROVALS
To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
School District prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
North School Reconstruction Project and took action to certify the
Final EIR and approve the project on January 9, 2019.
Additional project approvals for certain elements of the project were
required prior to construction commencing from:
• California Department of Education, School Facilities and
Transportation Services Division
• California Department of General Services, Division of the
State Architect
• California Coastal Commission
• Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board
MOU AND NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION
MANAGEMENT PLAN
Following certification of the Final EIR by the School Board on January
9, 2019, the City and School District representatives met as a team
frequently to collaborate on the conditions to be included in a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). On February 27, 2019 the
Memorandum of Understanding was approved by both the City
Council and School Board memorializing the commitment of both
parties to work together collaboratively to safely manage
transportation, traffic, and student loading and unloading activities,
primarily through the development of a Neighborhood Transportation
Management Plan (NTMP) for the streets and neighborhood
surrounding North School.
As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, the City and District
agreed to form a stakeholder group that would share information and
gather public input on relevant topics including: peak traffic
conditions, speed, safety, sight distance, anticipated and proposed
student loading, and parent or resident concerns that might deter
walking and biking to school or use of certain routes to/from the
project.

3 planning process
NORTH SCHOOL Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan 9
Beginning in summer 2019, the City of Hermosa Beach and Hermosa
Beach City School District (HBCSD) embarked on a collaborative,
iterative, and public process to develop the NTMP agreed upon in the
MOU. The NTMP proactively addresses transportation issues and traffic
safety around North School, focusing on safe student loading and
unloading activities, and the spillover effects from those activities.
Transportation planning firm, Fehr & Peers, facilitated the process and
provided technical guidance throughout the process.
The planning process (see Figure 3) included an evaluation of existing
conditions, identification of issues and opportunities, creation of
evaluation criteria to refine the recommendations and priorities, and
ultimately development of the plan for review, adoption, and
implementation. Each step in the process additionally involves various
levels of community input and feedback to inform and refine the plan
through an adaptive management program.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT
The process was informed through the collection of new data on
traffic and parking conditions in the vicinity of the school, including:
daily traffic counts, identification of background traffic peaks, speed
surveys, and an inventory and utilization assessment of street parking
around Valley Park.
Traffic Volume and Speeds
Traffic counts and speed surveys were conducted on two weekdays
of the same week (Tuesday, September 10 and Thursday, September
12). Traffic counts evaluated traffic volumes in 15-minute increments
for a 24-hour period. Speed surveys identified the 85th percentile
speed. They were collected at the following locations:
• Gould St, from Morningside to Valley
• Valley Drive, from Gould Avenue to 25th Street
• Myrtle Avenue, from 26th Street to 25th Street
• 25th Street, from Myrtle Avenue to 25th Street/Park Avenue
Results from the data collection are shown in Figure 5.
Parking Conditions
Parking occupancy was collected on a weekday (Wednesday,
September 11) during anticipated school operation hours. On-street
and off-street parking occupancies were counted every half hour,
between 7 AM to 2:30 PM at the following locations:
• Gould Avenue, from Morningside Drive to Valley Drive (on-
and off-street)
• Valley Drive, from Gould Avenue to 25th Street (on-street)
• Kiwanis/Rotary Club Lot (off-street)
• 25th Street, Myrtle Avenue to 25th Street/Park Avenue (on-
street)
Safe Routes to School Survey
HBCSD parents were also surveyed regarding their children’s mode of
transportation to school, as well as the factors that affected their
mode choice, including those factors which deter children from
walking and/or biking to school.
According to the 2019 Safe Routes to School survey from parents
representing 340 students from Valley and View Schools, 87% of
students live within one mile of school. On most days, 35% of school
drop-off trips are by car, and similarly, 39% of school pick-up trips are
by car.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The process was shaped by a broad range of stakeholders, including
the MOU Team, comprised of HBCSD school leadership, school board
members, elected city officials, and city staff, and the Stakeholder
Working Group, comprised of North School neighborhood residents,
current and former HBCSD parents, and other Hermosa Beach
residents who live adjacent to existing HBCSD schools. Public input to
the process was solicited through two Community Workshops, as well
as through social media and on the HBCSD and City websites.
Throughout the process, other key stakeholders including the Hermosa
Beach Police Department and the Department of Public Works.
A regular series of meetings was scheduled throughout the 6-month
NTMP development period. These included three meetings with the
MOU Team, five meetings with the Stakeholder Working Group
including one neighborhood walking tour, two Community Workshops,
and working meetings with representatives from the Police
Department and the Department of Public Works.

MOU Subcommittee
The process kicked-off in July 2019 with a meeting of the full project
team and members of the MOU Team. A brief site visit and walking
tour of the North School neighborhood helped set the stage, and a
productive first conversation led to an initial list of transportation issues
and potential ideas for how to address those issues. The list of issues
and ideas were mapped for ease of visual communication purposes.
Community Workshops
The first Community Workshop occurred at the end of October and
members of the public were invited to participate. At the workshop,
City and technical consultant staff introduced to attendees the idea
categories and elements, then divided into small groups to allow for
attendees to provide input. At the end of the workshop, a “dot” voting
activity was conducted in which all attendees were able to vote their
support for up to 10 of the ideas.
Following the first Community Workshop, the project team synthesized
all that they had heard over the course of the fall to develop an
Evaluation Matrix. The Evaluation Matrix identified whether the idea
had been previously studied in the North School EIR, feasibility, the
type of benefits expected from each idea, whether the idea was
intended for near-term implementation before the opening of North
School, or for longer-term implementation at a later date depending
on need and/or further technical evaluation, and whether the idea
was supported by the community. In November, the Evaluation Matrix
was vetted and refined through conversations with the MOU Team,
the Stakeholder Working Group, the Police Department, and Public
Works. Stakeholder support, feasibility, and implementation timeframe
were updated where necessary, and a holistic package of
improvements was agreed upon. This package of improvements was
Community Workshop, held in early December. Following the second
Community Workshop, a final round of refinements was conducted
through one more meeting each with the MOU Team and the
Stakeholder Working Group.
Stakeholder Working Group
Through the end of the summer and into the beginning of fall, the initial
list of transportation issues and ideas were more fully developed and
categorized through in-depth discussions with the MOU Team and the
Stakeholder Working Group. The Working Group participated in a
walking tour, with members of the group who lived in the
neighborhood providing particularly informative insights as to
potential transportation challenges. Following the walking tour, the
Stakeholder Working Group met to identify priorities and preferences
as to which would be the most effective.
STAKEHOLDER WORKING GROUP IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES
Through the series of stakeholder meetings between September 2019
and January 2020, the stakeholder working group came to collectively
identify a set of priorities for the NTMP. These priorities are identified
below and have been integrated into the recommendation and
implementation of this plan.
1. Monitoring Program
• Pre and post North School (NS) data collection
• On-going analysis for monitoring post NS construction
• Additional actions or reductions based on post construction
analysis
2. Onsite Loading/Unloading at North School
3. Bus or Trolley for All Three Schools
4. Kiwanis/Rotary Parking Lot

4 neighborhood transportation management plan
recommendations
NORTH SCHOOL Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan 11
The Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan (NTMP) was a
collaborative process to identify potential traffic problems on nearby
residential streets and develop recommendations to manage those
concerns accordingly. As part of the process, the City and School
District formed a stakeholder group of residents that provided local
knowledge and input on concerns such as: projected traffic volumes,
speed, safety, student drop-off/pick-up, and other topics that might
impact walking and bicycling to school. Recommendations were
developed throughout the public outreach process and grouped into
the following categories:
• Trip Reduction
• Drop-off and Pick-up
• Pedestrian Accessibility and Safety
• Traffic Safety and Calming
• Other
TRIP REDUCTION
Increasing the number students who walk, bike, bus, and/or carpool
can decrease congestion during school drop-off/pick-up times,
reduce vehicle emissions, and increase overall physical activity and
emotional well-being levels.
Carpool and Bus or Trolley Programs
Opportunities to develop formal and informal carpool programs and
provide alternative transportation options such as a bus or trolley that
serves all three school sites would help to alleviate vehicular
congestion around the schools during drop-off/pick-up times.
Safe Routes to School Programs
Safe Routes to School strives to create a safe, convenient, and
enjoyable opportunity for your children to walk or bike to and from
school. There have been declines in the number of children walking
and biking to schools, a nationwide increase in childhood obesity, and
a lack of physical activity among children. While Hermosa Beach
enjoys a relatively high rate of walking and biking to school
participation, by continuing to implement safe routes for children to
get to school, we hope to increase participation in these programs to
reduce traffic strain on local streets around the schools and
throughout the city.
Successful Safe Routes to School Programs incorporate what is known
as the six E’s: evaluation, education, encouragement, engineering,
enforcement, and equity.
1. Evaluation of the school district and areas around the school
assist in getting the program started. Surveys of parents and
students serve as a great tool for collecting information about
reasons for driving children instead of allowing them to walk or
ride bikes. Surveys also help identify attributes of the program
that would appeal to the students to make it an enjoyable
experience.
2. Education of students, parents, school staff, and other
community members is important to provide opportunities to
learn about bicycle and pedestrian safety. Educational
programs can also be offered about following the rules of the
road when driving, walking, or riding a bike.
3. Encouragement from special events and programs help get
students, parents, city officials, and school staff members
involved in Safe Routes to School. Contests and challenges,
within classrooms or schoolwide, often provide incentives for
walking and riding bikes to and from school.
4. Engineers are needed after collecting data from surveys. The
data identifies concerns about street infrastructures, such as
street designs, intersections, signage, etc. Audits or walk-
abouts can be organized for parents and police officers to
identify problems that children may encounter and discover
the shortest and safest route to/from school.
5. Enforcement of traffic laws in the vicinity of schools from local
law enforcement officers is very important for the safety of
children and other pedestrians. They also assist in enforcing
proper walking and bicycling behaviors. This can also be done
through implementing the use of crossing guards and student
safety patrols around school.
6. Equity is another important component of Safe Routes to
School, with the goal of providing a safe, active, and healthy
environment for all income levels, ethnicities, backgrounds,
etc. in the community. Safe Routes to School wants to allow
access to everyone in the hopes of creating safe and
equitable opportunities for children, families, and other
community members.
DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
Getting students safely to and from school is one of the primary goals
of the NTMP. For those that are driven to school, the locations at which
students are dropped off or picked up from school is a key
consideration in the identification and implementation of other traffic
calming and safety measures and providing a distributed range of
options for parents and guardians to utilize helps to ensure no one
street or area is disproportionately congested.
In the NTMP process, there are three types of drop-off and pick-up
locations considered: on-site, school site adjacent in the public right-
of-way, and at remote locations around Valley Park.
On-Site Loading and Unloading
Dedicated space that occurs within the boundaries of the District-
owned property to facilitate the loading and unloading of students
before and after school.
On-site configurations must meet California Department of Education
standards to ensure student safety.
School Site Adjacent Loading and Unloading
Designated spaces within the public right-of-way or City streets that
are directly adjacent to or adjoining with the school district property
are also an opportunity facilitate student loading and unloading.
At these locations that border the school site, parking restrictions
would be necessary during school times to ensure the curb space is
available to safely and efficiently facilitate drop-off and pick-up.
Remote Drop-Off/Pick-Up and Parking
With the school site located next to Valley Park, there are a number of
on-street and off-street parking areas within the vicinity that could be
considered formally or informally for parents to either drop-off and
pick-up students or park for a short duration and walk with their
students to the school site.
At these locations, some adjustments or additions to parking
restrictions may be necessary to facilitate their use as drop-off or pick-
up locations.
12 Hermosa Beach
PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY AND SAFETY
This section summarizes types of engineering treatments and
operational programs that can help to improve pedestrian
accessibility and safety around the school site and neighborhood.
Crossing Guards
Crossing guards help children safely cross the street at key locations
and remind drivers of the presence of pedestrians.
High-Visibility Crosswalks
Crosswalks should be designed with continental markings to be more
visible to approaching drivers and use high-visibility material, such as
inlay tape or thermoplastic tape instead of paint.
Raised Crosswalks
Raised crosswalks are elevated to match the sidewalk to make
pedestrians more visible to approaching vehicles. Typically located at
midblock crossings, they encourage motorists to yield to pedestrians
and reduce vehicle speed.
Rectangular Rapid-Flash Beacons
Pedestrian-activated flashing lights and additional signage enhance
the visibility of marked crosswalks and alert motorists to pedestrian
crossings.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND CALMING
This section summarizes the types of treatments related to traffic safety
and calming that that may be appropriate given the context of the
streets within the study area.
Centerline Striping
Centerline striping can be used to delineate travel lanes on residential
streets. As a neighborhood transportation management measure,
they are often used on curves where vehicles tend to deviate outside
of the proper lane, risking collision.
Curb Extensions
Curb extensions widen the sidewalk at intersections or midblock
crossings to shorten the pedestrian crossing distance, to make
pedestrians more visible to vehicles, and to reduce the speed of
turning vehicles.
One-Way Street Conversion
Streets with limited right of way to accommodate on-street parking on
both sides simultaneously with vehicular travel in both directions could
be considered for conversion to a one-way street that would preserve
limited parking, while improving the flow of travel.
Red Curbs
Red curbs indicate parking prohibitions on the streets within the City.
They can enhance safety, especially on curved roads and near
driveways, by improving sightlines for pedestrians and motorists.
Speed Feedback Signs
Real-time speeds are relayed to drivers and flash when speeds
exceed the limit. Speed feedback signs are typically mounted on or
near speed limit signs and can also be mobile units.
Speed Lumps
These traffic calming devices use vertical deflection to encourage
motorists to travel at slower speeds. Speed lumps have cut-outs
designed to allow large vehicles, such as emergency vehicles and
buses, to pass with minimal slowing, while significantly slowing
passenger cars and mid-size SUVs.
Signage
Signage that can be used as a neighborhood transportation
management measure include:
• ‘No left-turn’ signs (during school hours)
• ‘No stopping’ signs (during school hours)
• ‘One way’ signs
• ‘15 mph Speed Limit’ signs (during school hours)
• Four-way ‘Stop’ signs
Targeted Enforcement
Targeted enforcement may be used in conjunction with new
neighborhood transportation management devices to help drivers
become aware of the new restrictions. Depending on police
department resources, the targeted enforcement may be limited in
duration.
Traffic Control
Traffic control officers at strategic locations can help to improve the
flow of vehicle traffic similar to a traffic signal. Traffic control officers
are typically used in instances where traffic congestion may be
present only during short time durations or certain times of day and a
traffic signal is not warranted.

NORTH SCHOOL Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan 13
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
A series of other solutions identified through the process that aim to
improve traffic flow, by offsetting the number of trips that are
generated during a peak time period are identified below.
Staggered Bell Schedule
The North School Environmental Impact Report includes a mitigation
measure for the District to stagger the bell schedule for school start
and end times between grades at the school. This mitigation does not
necessarily reduce the number of trips that occur, but helps to
distribute the trips over a wider time period to reduce potential traffic
congestion.
Before and After School Programs
Before and after school programming for students provides numerous
benefits to both students and parents, but in the context of a
neighborhood transportation management plan provides an
opportunity similar to a staggered bell schedule to distribute the trips
to and from the school so that they occur outside of peak drop-off or
pick up times.
Regular Monitoring and Evaluation
Regular monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the
measures is key to the implementation and iterative process of the
plan. The adaptive management program has been developed to
establish parameters for ensuring the recommendations implemented
are effective and whether additional measures are warranted based
on data and analysis.
RECOMMENDATION FRAMEWORK
The recommendations were generated over the course of four
stakeholder group meetings, two public workshops, and three
meetings with the MOU subcommittee comprised of City Council and
School Board members. The outreach process provided
recommendations that would be most effective based on public
feedback, alignment with the North School Environmental Impact
Report (EIR), and the costs/benefits of implementation. While the input
from stakeholder meetings and public workshops provided general
priorities, the consultant team provided technical expertise on the
type and placement of treatments. The comprehensive set of
recommendations are shown Figure 4 and in the corresponding table.
Following the graphic depiction of the set of recommendations, each
recommendation is then described briefly and includes information on
the implementation timeframe, any additional evaluation needed,
planning level cost estimates, and where appropriate conceptual
designs presented for the recommendation.
Implementation Timeframe
Recommendations are divided into near-term and long-term
implementation projects described below.
• NEAR-TERM PROJECTS that the City and School District will
install before the school opens.
• LONG-TERM PROJECTS that the City and School District will
consider and plan for implementation as funding is
available and as the adaptive management program
monitoring warrants.
Additional Evaluation Needed
For long-term measures, areas of additional evaluation that may be
needed are identified as follows:
• REQUIRES ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS are projects that
additional data must be gathered to assess and monitor
whether the measure would be effective
• REQUIRES PUBLIC CONSULTATION that the technical team
determined are effective recommendations but will
require petition of support from the residents on the
affected street or block
• REQUIRES AGENCY COORDINATION are projects that may
require more time and coordination among agencies and
other organizations for implementation
Planning Cost Estimates
Planning-level cost estimates are also included for both near-term and
long-term projects. Estimated construction costs are based on
available bid result information for similar types of project work. Bid
result costs are compiled from projects from 2015 to 2019.
Conceptual Designs
For those projects that require engineering plans or designs prior to
implementation, conceptual designs have been prepared to illustrate
the general location and design of the proposed treatment or
infrastructure needed.

17. PROHIBIT DROP-OFF/PICK-UP ON MORNINGSIDE DR
Description
The southern segment of Morningside Drive which is accessed from
25th Street is a narrow dead-end street without space for proper
vehicle turning. To avoid the use of that location as a drop-off or
pick-up spot for students, signage will be installed that prohibits
drop-off activity at the intersection of the street with 25th Street.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
$ 1,900
18. ONE WAY STREET HEADING WESTBOUND FOR 26TH ST
Description
This roadway is very narrow, and with added traffic volume from
the school, it will be very difficult to function as two-way with
parking on both sides of the street. Converting to one-way would
allow parking on both sides with sufficient space for reasonable
vehicle circulation.
Two-way access would be maintained on Morningside Drive,
between Gould Avenue and 26th Street, to preserve alley access.
Conversion of 26th Street to one-way will require a petition of

22. GOULD AVE ON-STREET PARKING
Description
Designate a portion of the spaces (approximately 8 spaces) as 15-
minute parking zones 30 minutes before and after school intake
and dismissal. This parking is currently unrestricted and typically
used by park-goers during the daytime and adjacent residents
overnight. During the beginning and ending of school, these
spaces are not heavily subscribed. Therefore, making them
available for school-related drop-off/pick-up will benefit the
neighborhood by not requiring these parents to drive on the
smaller residential streets adjacent to the school.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
$ 3,700
23. CROSSING GUARD - GOULD AV/VALLEY DR/ ARDMORE AV
Description
Crossing guards help children safely cross the street at key
locations and remind drivers of the presence of pedestrians. A
minimum of two crossing guards are recommended for the
intersections of Gould Avenue where it intersects with Valley Drive
and Ardmore Avenue.
Implementation Timeframe:

Planning Cost Estimates:
$10,900 per year
24. TRAFFIC CONTROL OFFICER AT GOULD AV/VALLEY
DR/ARDMORE AV
Description
Traffic control officers at strategic locations can help to improve
the flow of vehicle traffic similar to a traffic signal. Traffic control
officers are typically used in instances where traffic congestion
may be present only during short time durations or certain times of
day. In conjunction with crossing guards, a traffic control officer is
recommended for the intersections of Gould Avenue where it
intersects with Valley Drive and Ardmore Avenue.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
$14,200 per year
25. 15 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON VALLEY DR (ONLY DURING SCHOOL
HOURS)
Description
A reduction in the maximum speed limit is recommended for
implementation along Valley Drive from Gould Avenue to 21st
Street through designation as a School Zone speed limit, as
allowed under the California Vehicle Code. The lower speed limit
of 15 MPH would be limited to enforcement during school hours.

26. VALLEY DR ON-STREET SPACES
Description
Designate a portion of the spaces (approximately 8 spaces) as 15-
minute parking zones 30 minutes before and after school intake
and dismissal.
This parking along Valley Drive currently has 6-hour time restrictions
and typically used by park-goers during the daytime. During the
beginning and ending of school, these spaces are not heavily
subscribed. Therefore, making them available for school-related
drop-off/pick-up will benefit the neighborhood by not requiring
these parents to drive on the smaller residential streets adjacent to
the school.
Throughout the outreach process, the nearby Kiwanis/Rotary Club
lot was identified as a potential asset for off-site drop-off/pick-up
during school hours. The lot was considered for school-related
drop-off/pick-up, but is not feasible in the short-term as it will
require approval from the California Coastal Commission and
additional capital improvement program funding to build out an
ADA-compliant pedestrian path across Valley Park.
The City and District have identified other nearby locations,
including the on-street spaces along Valley Drive for drop-off/pick-
up that are less costly, giving more time to accumulate the funds
and pursue the approvals needed for to formally utilize the
Kiwanis/Rotary Club lot in the future.

Planning Cost Estimates:
$ 3,700
27. RED CURB - WEST SIDE OF VALLEY DR, JUST NORTH OF KIWANIS
CLUB (ELIMINATES 2 ON-STREET PARKING SPACES)
Description
A red curb is proposed on the west side of Valley Drive, just north
of the Kiwanis/Rotary Club parking lot. This red curb would result in
the elimination or adjustment of two on-street parking spaces, but
would improve visibility reduce conflicts between vehicles along
Valley Drive and those exiting the parking lot.

(ONLY DURING SCHOOL DROP-OFF/PICK-UP HOURS)
Description
Northbound left turn movements from Valley Drive onto 25th Street
by vehicles attempting to access the school site have the
potential to increase the volume of traffic on this street, interfere
with pedestrian crossings, and delay northbound traffic on Valley
Drive. Signage is proposed at this intersection to prohibit left-hand
turns during school hours to address these concerns.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
$ 465
31. HIGH VISIBILITY CROSSWALK - VALLEY DR & 24TH PL

33. ENCOURAGE WALKING AND ALL ROLLING MODE OPTIONS
Description
The District will encourage and support all non-auto transportation
modes, including walking, biking, skateboarding, scootering, and
others, through a combination of ongoing education,
encouragement, and incentives. This encouragement applies to
all students who utilize non-auto modes to school, not just those
participating in the Walking School Bus program (see # 35, below).
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
Minimal infrastructure development costs, costs primarily related to
labor.
34. WALKING SCHOOL BUS ON VALLEY DR WITH ENHANCED
STOPS
Description
HBCSD’s existing Walking School Bus program utilizes trained adult
volunteers, usually parents, to safely walk students to school along
a designated Safe Route To School, with coordinated stops to
allow additional students to “get on the bus” along the way. Due
to the program’s voluntary nature, both in terms of the adults who
supervise the walk and students participants, participation varies
from school year to school year. To ensure sustained high levels of
participation in the North School Walking School Bus program,
appropriate incentives will be determined and offered to
participants. Routes will be adjusted annually to best serve student
home origin locations.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
Minimal infrastructure development costs, costs primarily related to
labor.
35. TARGETED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT DURING SCHOOL DROP-
OFF/PICK-UP TIMES
Description
Targeted enforcement will be used as resources are available to
focus safe travel behaviors by vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Key times in which targeted enforcement may be used include:
when new neighborhood transportation management devices to
help drivers become aware of the new restrictions; when school
schedules change or reset (back to school, school breaks); and as
concerns arise regarding unsafe travel behaviors that can be
reduced through traffic enforcement.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
Minimal infrastructure development costs, costs primarily related to
labor.

36. DEVELOP SUGGESTED PARENT TRAVEL ROUTE MAPS FOR
ENTRANCE/EXIT TO/FROM NEIGHBORHOOD
Description
A school route map can inform parents of students about
suggested driving routes to and from school depending on where
they live. While the suggested driving routes are intended to make
the school trips safer by identifying optimal routes, the map also
identifies alternate drop-off/pick-up locations to mitigate traffic
congestion around the school during peak hours and encourage
more students to walk to/from school.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
Minimal infrastructure development costs, costs primarily related to
labor.
37. STAGGERED BELL SCHEDULE
Description
The North School Environmental Impact Report includes a
mitigation measure for the District to stagger the bell schedule for
school start and end times between grades at the school. This
mitigation does not necessarily reduce the number of trips that
occur, but helps to distribute the trips over a wider time period to
reduce potential traffic congestion.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
Minimal infrastructure development costs, costs primarily related to
labor.
38. BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Description
Before and after school programming for students provides
numerous benefits to both students and parents, but in the context
of a neighborhood Transportation management plan provides an
opportunity similar to a staggered bell schedule to distribute the
trips to and from the school so that they occur outside of peak
drop-off or pick up times.
Implementation Timeframe:
Near-Term
Planning Cost Estimates:
Minimal infrastructure development costs, costs primarily related to
labor.
39. REGULARLY SCHEDULED RE-EVALUATION OF NTMP
EFFECTIVENESS (I.E. BUILT-IN MONITORING TO EVALUATE TRAFFIC
VOLUMES)
Description
Regular monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the
measures is key to the implementation and iterative process of the
plan. The adaptive management program has been developed
to establish parameters for ensuring the recommendations
implemented are effective and whether additional measures are
warranted based on data and analysis.
The City and School District proposed approach to regular
monitoring and evaluation is described in the adaptive
management program chapter of this document.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
As noted in the recommendations, each project will require funding to
implement. While many of the smaller cost and short-term projects
may be implemented using existing funding resources, other projects
will require the City and School District to consider and apply for
outside funding resources from federal, state, local, and even private
granting agencies. The range of resources available are described in
this chapter.
FEDERAL FUNDING
Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS)
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/localprograms/saferoutes/srts.htm
Cycle 3 of the Federal Safe Routes to School program has been
extended after the success of California’s Safe Routes to School (SR2S)
program which began in 1999. Originally a five year program,
extensions through continuing resolution have been enacted by
Congress allowing the program to remain funded for the purpose of:
1) enabling and encouraging students in kindergarten through eighth
grade (K-8), including students with disabilities, to safely walk and
bicycle to school, 2) making walking and bicycling to school a more
appealing mode choice, and 3) facilitating the planning, design, and
implementation of projects that will improve safety, environment, and
overall quality of life. Consistent with other federal-aid programs, each
State Department of Transportation is held responsible for developing
and implementing the program.
Transportation Enhancement Activities
www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/transportation_enhancements
The Transportation Enhancement (TE) activities offered funding
opportunities to help expand transportation choices and enhance the
transportation experience through 12 eligible TE activities related to
surface transportation, including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure
and safety programs, scenic and historic highway programs,
landscaping and scenic beautification, historic preservation, and
environmental mitigation.
STATE FUNDING SOURCES
Active Transportation Program (ATP)
https://catc.ca.gov/programs/active-transportation-program
The California Transportation Commission developed program
guidelines and project selection criteria for the first call for projects for
the statewide Active Transportation Program (ATP) in March 2014. The
ATP consolidates existing federal and state transportation programs,
including the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), Bicycle
Transportation Account (BTA), and State Safe Routes to School (SR2S),
into a single program with a focus to make California a national leader
in active transportation. A fourth cycle of the ATP is anticipated in 2019
and expected to last through 2023.
The purpose of ATP is to encourage increased use of active modes of
transportation by achieving Increase the proportion of trips
accomplished by biking and walking, Increased safety and mobility
for non-motorized users, advance the active transportation efforts of
regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals,
enhance public health, ensure that disadvantaged communities fully
share in the benefits of the program, and provide a broad spectrum
of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.
In addition, the Senate Bill 1 (SB1) transportation bill funds an additional
$1 billion for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) over the next ten
years —that’s an additional $100 million per year for cities, counties
and regional transportation agencies to build more bike paths, cross-
walks and sidewalks.
The Safe Routes to School (SR2S) grants are awarded through the ATP,
listed below:
Safe Routes to School (SR25)
SR2S is administered by Caltrans, and funds engineering and
education projects that improve safety to/from schools.
Authorized by Section 1404 of SAFETEA-LU (the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users), the
SRTS Program came into effect in August of 2005. This federal
funding program emphasizes community collaboration in the
development of projects, and projects that incorporate elements
of – education, encouragement, engineering, enforcement, and
evaluation.
Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program
www.resources.ca.gov/grants/environmental-enhancement-and-
mitigation-eem
The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (EEMP) was
established in 1989 and is administered by the California Natural
Resources Agency and Caltrans. The program offers a total of $7
million each year for grants to local, state, and federal governmental
agencies and to nonprofit organizations, funded through gasoline
taxes. EEMP Funds are allocated to projects that either directly or
indirectly offset environmental impacts of modified or new public
transportation facilities including streets, mass transit guideways, park-
n-ride facilities, transit stations, tree planting to offset the effects of
vehicular emissions, and the acquisition or development of roadside
recreational facilities, such as trails. EEMP is an annual program with
the next solicitation expected in April of 2019.
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.htm
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core federal-aid
program that aims to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on
public roads. HSIP funds can be used for projects such as bike lane or
sidewalk projects on local roadways, improvements to Class I multi-use
paths, or for traffic calming measures. Applications that identify a
history of incidents and demonstrate their project’s improvement to
safety are most competitive for funding. Program is administered by
Caltrans in the State of California.
California Office of Traffic Safety Grant Opportunities
www.ots.ca.gov/Grants/default.asp
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) provides grants for safety
programs and equipment. Drivers of motor vehicles need to share the
road with pedestrians and bicyclists. OTS grantees develop programs
to increase awareness of traffic rules, rights, and responsibilities among
various age groups. Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety is a specifically
identified funding priority. This category of grants includes
enforcement and education programs, which encompass a wide
range of activities, including bicycle helmet distribution, design and
printing of billboards and bus posters, other public information
materials, development of safety components as part of physical
education curriculum, or police safety demonstrations through school
visitations.

REGIONAL AND LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES
At the regional and county level, SCAG and Metro administer much
of the funds that can be used to implement active transportation
projects. Metro administers several programs that are sources of
funding for recommended projects.
SCAG Grant Opportunities
http://www.scag.ca.gov/opportunities/Pages/Grants.aspx
The Southern California Association of Governments’ Grant
opportunities offered by various agencies that may be pertinent to
your agency’s workplan. SCAG gathers this information in order to
disseminate it to all interested agencies in the SCAG region.
Measure M
http://theplan.metro.net/
The Measure M Expenditure Plan devotes its funds to nine
transportation categories as follows: 35% to new rail and bus rapid
transit construction, 17% highway/Carpool lane/Goods movement
improvements, 20% Bus operations, 17% to local city transportation
improvements, 5% to Metro Rail system improvements, 2% for state of
good repair, 2% to keep fares affordable for seniors, students and
disabled, 2% for active transportation projects, 1% for Metrolink
projects. Many jurisdictions use their local Measure M funding for
active transportation projects and local transportation improvements.
Air Quality Improvements through Automobile Trip Reduction &
Roadway Congestion Mitigation
http://www.scag.ca.gov/opportunities/Pages/Grants.aspx
The AQMD announces the availability to local governments of up to
$5 million in grant funds for opportunities to reduce automobile trips,
traffic congestion, and their associated air pollutant emissions by
shifting attendees of major event center functions out of their personal
automobile and onto public transportation.
Traffic Mitigation Fees
Some agencies have implemented development fees that can then
be used to fund various types of infrastructure. For example, a fee may
be adopted for each PM peak hour trip that is generated by a project.
This funding is combined with funds from other projects to establish a
source of funds to construct the improvements that are on an
adopted project list. Based on the list of projects or other mechanisms,
the traffic mitigation program can be used to fund a variety of projects
that serve several travel modes.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Each year, the City allocates a portion of the general fund budget to
transportation capital projects, including pedestrian-related facilities,
street lighting, and traffic calming. This is typically the largest source of
funds for existing communities. This is typically the largest source of
funds for existing communities. While sidewalk repair and replacement
are usually the responsibility of the adjacent land owner, the City is
responsible for the repair of sidewalk damage caused by City-owned
trees, vehicle crashes, water main breaks and natural subsidence. The
majority of CIP funds, however, are for new installations associated
with city streets, buildings and other infrastructure.
Community Development Block Program (CDBG)
CDBG Partners with rural cities and counties to improve the lives of their
low- and moderate-income residents through the creation and
expansion of community and economic development opportunities
in support of livable communities. The CDBG program is the
development of viable urban communities by providing decent
housing and a suitable living environment and through expanding
economic opportunities, principally, for persons of low- and
moderate-income. “Persons of low and moderate income” are
defined as families, households, and individuals whose incomes do not
exceed 80 percent of the county median income, adjusted for family
or household size.
Beach Cities Health District
Beach Cities Health District offers two types of grants: our Grants for
Non-Profits and our Micro Enrichment Grants for small, one-time health
projects.
The District funds programs that provide:
• Health education and prevention
• Support groups
• Health promotion
• Health maintenance
• Efforts to develop and test new approaches to solving
problems within the health field
• Safety net programs for vulnerable and underserved
populations (e.g., senior and homeless meal program)
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
Increasingly, innovative bicycle projects are being implemented with
the assistance and funding from private entities. Examples of local
projects include the provision of shared bicycles at hotels, the
construction of shower and changing facilities in office buildings, and
the development of bicycle storage rooms at new residential
development sites.
The National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health funds projects that “study primary and
secondary prevention approaches targeting environmental factors
that contribute to inappropriate weight gain in children, adolescents,
and adults.” Applications may be submitted by for-profit and non-
profit organizations (e.g., universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories,
units of state and local governments, and eligible agencies of the
federal government). Approximately 4,000,000 dollars are committed
to fund successful applications and NIH anticipates making 5 to 12
awards. The application guidelines that apply to pedestrian and
bicycle programs are listed below:
• Promoting walking or bicycling to school or to worksites
• Increasing physical activity during, before, and after school
care
• Decreasing sedentary behaviors in children and
adolescents
• Promoting physical activity at worksites
• Increasing family participation in physical activity
NORTH SCHOOL Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan 25
COST SHARING APPROACH
This section specifies the financial arrangement between the Hermosa
Beach School District and the City of Hermosa Beach in service of
implementing the NTMP project, which considers operational and
physical improvements on the school site and its adjacent public right-
of-way.
The physical improvements of the School District might include curb
extensions, gateways, speed humps, crosswalks, lane reconfiguration,
new traffic signals, site access, and tiered pick up/drop off zones. The
infrastructure and operational components would be identified and
evaluated after analyzing the existing and future conditions of the
area, and establishing the objectives in terms of traffic management,
safety, and health. Also, the District will require to develop a
construction work site traffic control plan in accordance to the
Mitigation TRAF-3, and must restrict equipment and construction
vehicles from parking in from local streets once the construction
begins, as stated in TRAF-4.
Both parties would have financial responsibilities throughout the
development of the project, for the planning, design, and
implementation, to the on-going operational requirements and
updates to the initial plan. Their level of participation will depend on
their jurisdiction and defined geographical limits as it follows:
• The School District is responsible for 50% of the planning and
designing costs of the NTMP, and any future updates applied to
the plan. Consequently, The District will pay 100% of the
implementation cost of the portion of the project set within the
school limits (on-site), which includes the site access and the
adjacent right-of-way. All proposals for construction must first be
submitted and approved by the Hermosa Beach Public Works
Department; the District will assume the total cost of the fees
related to such process.
If any of the planned interventions, within and out of the School
District limits, has a negative impact on Level of Service, the District
will cover a proportional cost calculated in the planning process
and based on the projects attributable increase in vehicle activity
relative to existing or future vehicle activity, to help fund the
projects identified. Similarly, if on-going operational support is
needed during, and after the construction of the project (e.g.
traffic control officers or devices), the District can request support
from the City Council. However, this might entail an additional
partial cost (50% of the total) for the District, as the NTMP may
require an update.
• The City is responsible for 50% of the planning and designing cost
of the NTMP, and any future updates applied to the plan.
Consequently, the City will pay for the total cost of the physical
and operational interventions in the public right-of-way adjacent
to the School District limits, with the exemption of the proportional
cost attributable to the school, based on project generated traffic.
If the project is provided with on-going operational support and/or
traffic control devices during, and after the construction of the
project by the City Council, the City will pay for 50% of the costs
required to update the NTMP.
COST SHARING BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE
CITY BREAK DOWN
Cost-sharing allocations were derived from the MOU:
As established in the MOU dated February 27, 2019, any costs
associated with the recommendations of the NTMP that entail
construction of physical improvements or implementation of traffic
control devices will be assigned a proportional cost to the District
relative to the level of service (LOS) impact or increased volume of
traffic that would otherwise be generated by the project.

NORTH SCHOOL Neighborhood Transportation Management Plan 27
Local traffic conditions are, by nature, fluid due to random fluctuations
(from individual choices), economic conditions, technology changes,
and local land development. In the case of the North School,
conditions will also vary based upon enrollment and the grades being
accommodated at the school.
Beyond the fluid traffic conditions, estimating the success of traffic
management measures is an in-exact science. The consultant team
advising on this effort have used their knowledge of similar treatments
at other schools, but the context of every school is different. In this
case, Hermosa Beach uses a citywide approach to grade levels,
which is not common to other communities.
DATA COLLECTION PARAMETERS
Given the uncertainty described above, it is appropriate to monitor
conditions and adjust the NTMP from time to time. Moreover, some
potential treatments have been identified as “long-term” due to
questions about their efficacy, difficulty of implementation, or
potential negative side-effects. Monitoring will help determine
when/whether long-term measures are implemented. The following
parameters for data collection are recommended to maximize
opportunities to compare data:
• Frequency: monitoring should be conducted annually for
the at least the first five years after the school is reopened.
• Schedule: during the school year on days when school is in
session.
• Duration: for a three-day period (Tues-Thurs) that is
representative of an average school week (i.e. no holidays,
minimum days, atypical weather conditions)
DATA TO BE COLLECTED
Figure 5 provides base-level data with respect to traffic volume and
speed, but some additional “pre” data should be collected to fill all
the categories described below:
• Enrollment Numbers and Grades at School will be an
essential foundation to understanding other data
collected and providing a point of comparison from year
to year.
• Walk and Bike to School Participation Rates using the
sample safe routes to school survey provided in the
appendices will assist in evaluating effectiveness of
programs implemented.
• Traffic Collision Reports prepared by the Police
Department or School Officials will be reviewed to
understand patterns and primary collision factors that may
be involved and identify opportunities to reduce instances
of traffic collisions by addressing primary factors (speed,
visibility, distraction, etc)
• Traffic Volume and Speeds collected hourly and in two-
directions on:
o Manhattan Avenue (both north and south of 25th
Street)
o Gould Avenue (adjacent to park)
o Valley Drive (adjacent to park)
o 27th Court (between Morningside Drive and Ozone
Court)
o Ozone Court (between 24th Street and 27th Street)
o 26th Street (between Manhattan Avenue and
Morningside Drive)
o 25th Street (between Manhattan Avenue and Park
Avenue)
o 25th Street (between 25th Street/Park Avenue to Valley
Drive)
o 24th Place
o 24th Street (between Park Avenue and Valley Drive,
and from Park Avenue to Manhattan Avenue)
o Silverstrand Avenue
o Myrtle Avenue (between 24th Street to 26th Street)
o Park Avenue (between 25th Street and Monterey
Boulevard)
Existing traffic volumes from the 2018 North School
Reconstruction Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
included 2016 traffic volumes, as well as projected 2019
volumes with and without the opening of North School. As
a point of reference for future volume counts, the table in
Appendix B compares the volumes from the EIR with the
2019 volumes that were recorded as part of the NTMP.
• Parking Occupancy collected hourly from 7 AM to 4 PM at:
o off-street parking on the school site parking lot
o off-street on Gould Avenue at park (perpendicular
spaces)
o Kiwanis/Rotary Club lot
o on-street on Gould Avenue at park (parallel spaces)
o on-street on Valley Drive along park
o 27th Street (between Manhattan Avenue and
Morningside Drive)
o 26th Street (between Manhattan Avenue and
Morningside Drive)
o Morningside Drive (between 26th Street and 27th
Street, and north of 25th Street)
o Myrtle Avenue (between 26th Street and 24th Street)
o Silverstrand Avenue
o 25th Street/Park Avenue (Manhattan Avenue to 24th
Street)
o Park Avenue (between 24th Street and Monterey
Boulevard)
o 25th Street (between 25th Street/Park Avenue to Valley
Drive)
o 24th Place
o Ozone Court (between 24th Street to 26th Street)
• Queuing noted the extent and duration of vehicle queues
on the streets bordering the school
Figure 6 shows the location of the suggested data collection points as
described above.
ANNUAL REVIEW PROCESS
After the annual monitoring is completed, the City and School District
will summarize the results and compare to both the baseline data and
any prior years (post 2020). The results will be published on both the
City and School District websites and then discussed with the
stakeholder group that was formed to advise on the NTMP. Given
there are no absolute standards for traffic volume, speed, and
parking, it is the opinion of the community that will shape any
modifications to the NTMP.
Any modifications developed to the NTMP, because of the annual
monitoring program, will be brought to both the School District Board
and City Council for consideration.

-call ADA services to the City for three years; and
2.Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the Professional Services
Agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
In recent years,the City has been updating its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)program as
required by federal law.In addition to requiring accessibility to City facilities and services,the federal
guidelines also require that a public agency must have a Certified Access Specialist (CASP)available
on staff.
The City recently issued a Professional Services Agreement to Access,Inc.for services to the City to
assist in responding to ADA grievances filed by residents and to provide design alternatives and
assessments for a beach access path.
Based on the performance received to date as well as their previous knowledge of and familiarity with
the City,staff recommends that Access,Inc.be retained as the City’s CASP consultant to help with all
aspects of the City’s requirements for ADA compliance.
Background:
On March 24,2020,the City adopted a resolution approving an ADA Grievance Procedure for the fair
and prompt resolution of grievances arising under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (“ADA”)and the City Manager designated a City staff member as the coordinator for
compliance with the grievance procedures.
Further,to comply with federal laws,the City is required to have an adopted ADA Transition Plan in
place.Although preliminary work has been performed on the ADA Transition Plan,there are more
efforts necessary to bring it forward for adoption.Additionally,the law requires the City to have a
Certified Access Specialist (CASP)available on staff or through consultant services to assist with the

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0147
Certified Access Specialist (CASP)available on staff or through consultant services to assist with the
agency’s ADA program.
Discussion:
In October 2020,the City hired Access,Inc.to help with assessing several grievances that the City
received in 2020.In addition to responding to the grievances,the consultant identified additional
needs to meet the current Federal ADA requirements.Access,Inc.’s findings show the need for
completion and adoption of a citywide ADA Transition plan that would outline how the City plans to
make ADA improvements to infrastructure throughout the City.
Based on Access,Inc.’s performance to date in completing the recent tasks and their extensive
knowledge of the City,staff recommends retaining Access,Inc.as the City’s on-call ADA consultant to
perform additional needs by awarding a not-to-exceed contract of $90,000 for a three-year term.Staff
prepared a scope of work for Access,Inc.,which includes assisting with the ADA grievance
procedure,assisting with the completion and adoption of the ADA Transition Plan,and providing
CASP services for ADA compliance (Attachment 1).

by CONSULTANT as required by Section 17, and any approval of said insurance
by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the
liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning
indemnification.
C. Except to the extent of an indemnification obligation set forth herein, to the
Page 4 of 10
maximum extent allowable under applicable law, CITY agrees that
CONSULTANT shall not be liable for any monetary damages in excess of the
amounts paid to CONSULTANT under this agreement. CITY agrees that
CONSULTANT shall not be liable for lost profits, lost opportunities, consequential
or incidental damages resulting from CONSULTANT’s performance under this
agreement.
13. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services.
CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s
written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
14. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that
CONSULTANT will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the
manner in which is it performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be
performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent
or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or
similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may
appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to
exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction
of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
15. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and
copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSULTANT
agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and
will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice,
during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and
inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may
be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining
compliance with this Agreement. CONSULTANT further agrees to maintain such
records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this
Agreement.
B. CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining
to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
16. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective
measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement.
CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by the City to implement
said corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective me asures
shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
17. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. The CONSULTANT, at the CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure
and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. The Consultant shall
Page 5 of 10
require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance
for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal
of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the CITY at
least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive
all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its officers, agents, employees,
and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by the
CONSULTANT for City.
2. General Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain
commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two
million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance
form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general
aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under
this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the
required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain
automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage
for all activities of the CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with
the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for
owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one
million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONSULTA NT shall maintain
professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against
claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from
the CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such
operations are by the CONSULTANT or by its employees. The amount of
this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a
claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-
occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,”
CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three
(3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will
have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the
term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made
by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its
officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability
insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or
companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or
which is approved in writing by City, and shall be endorsed as follows.
CONSULTANT also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do
likewise. CITY agrees that Section 17.b.1, 17.B.2 and 17.B.3 shall not apply to
Professional Liability or Workers’ Compensation.
1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents,
and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to
Page 6 of 10
liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the
CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in
connection with such work or operations.”
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its
elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention
the CITY may have shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not
contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a
separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits
of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or
appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not
affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers,
officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided,
canceled, except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by
the CITY. A ten (10) day written notice tot CITY shall apply to non-
payment of premium. CONSULTANT shall provide thirty (30) days written
notice to CITY prior to implementation of a reduction of limits or material
change of insurance coverage as specified herein.
C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss
against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY
assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty)
to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the
CITY. At the CITY’s option, the CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial
capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
E. The CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original
endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before
commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of
insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this
Agreement.
F. Failure on the part of the CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance
shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.
Page 7 of 10
G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this
Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured
retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the
named insured) should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements.
The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City
Attorney and the Finance Director. Consultant understands and agrees that
satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay
its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City
pay the SIR or deductible on Consultant’s behalf upon the Consultant’s failure or
refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional
insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action
against Consultant for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages
incurred by City due to the breach.
18. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written
approval to use any sub-consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such
approval must include approval of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.
19. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the
CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release
of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything
done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment
shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation
claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment
by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the
CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of
the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed
to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the
work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.
20. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the
CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during
the City’s review of the Consultant’s report or plans. Should the Consultant fail to make such
correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by the CITY, and the cost
thereof shall be charged to the CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, the
City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by the City or may
withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the
cost of correction.
21. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY
for services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within
an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for
payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover
payment for CONSULTANT’S services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which
CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such
fiscal year.

Executive Summary:
At the City Council meeting held January 12,2021,Councilmember Armato requested this item,
which was listed among the Planning Commission actions on the agenda,be considered by the City
Council at a future public hearing. The request was supported by Mayor Pro Tem Detoy.
City Staff has been working with the applicant since 2018 to provide an opportunity for the applicant
to apply for some kind of City entitlement that would resolve the outstanding parking issues at the
property and to allow the option for the property to convert tenant spaces to medical use.When the
building was approved and built in the early 1980s,all office uses (including medical)required

REPORT 21-0158
building was approved and built in the early 1980s,all office uses (including medical)required
parking at a ratio of 1 parking space per 300 square feet.When the parking requirements
subsequently changed years later,only existing medical tenant spaces were permitted to remain as
medical uses.This created a situation where the property owner could not lease to medical uses
since the City could not issue business licenses for uses that intensify parking demand in a building
that is nonconforming to parking per Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC)Section 17.52.035.E.
The applicant applied for a Parking Plan as outlined in HBMC Section 17.44.210 that,if approved,
would allow the City to issue business licenses for medical uses.
Background:
ZONING:Specific Plan Area-8 (SPA-8)
GENERAL PLAN:Community Commercial
USE EXISTING/PROPOSED:Multi-tenant commercial building/ conversion to up to 100%
medical clinic
LOT SIZE:27,189 sq. ft.
TOTAL GROSS FLOOR AREA:
EXISTING:29,338 sq. ft.
PROPOSED:No change.
PARKING SPACES:
PROVIDED ON-SITE:86 spaces
PROPOSED SHARED:Up to 40 spaces at 2420 PCH
TOTAL PROPOSED:Up to 126 combined spaces
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt, Section 15301 Class 1 Existing
Facilities, as the project involves negligible or no expansion
of an existing use.
The subject site at 2200 PCH is located at the northeast corner of the City,on the southeast corner of
PCH and 21st Street and in the Specific Plan Area 8 (SPA-8)zone with a Community Commercial
General Plan land use designation.The 27,189 square foot lot houses an approximately 29,338 sq.
ft.three-story multi-tenant commercial general office building.The building is three stories with the
first story consisting of a subterranean garage while office suites are provided on the second and
third floor levels.There are 35 tenant spaces (Attachment 6 pp.45-46).The site provides less than
the required 86 spaces parking due to changes to the City’s parking code requirements over time.

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0158
To the immediate south and on the direct street corner of the subject site is an existing commercial
office building occupied by Guarantee Escrow (807 21st Street)and to the south and across 21st
Street are single and multi-family residences zoned R-1 and R-2.To the immediate north of the
subject site is a general office building occupied by Lane Design +Build (2212 PCH)and the Hope
Chapel administrative/general office building (2306 PCH).An existing office building (2205 PCH)is
located west and across PCH.To the east and across Borden Avenue are single-family residences
located in the R-1 zone.
In 1981,the Planning Commission approved a 31-unit commercial office condominium project at
2200 PCH,approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)pursuant to Planning Commission (PC)
Resolution 81-26 (Attachment 9).The building was conceptually approved,and permits were issued
in 1981 and construction was completed in 1985.
At that time,the City zoning code required retail and office uses to provide one (1)parking space for
each 300 square feet of gross floor area and did not distinguish between a higher parking
requirement for medical clinics.The approved plans for 2200 PCH identify 92 required parking
spaces based on the prior City code.The on-site parking supply has since been reduced to 86 on-
site parking spaces in order to accommodate ADA required parking spaces.
Since the building was built,the City’s parking standards have changed,rendering the building
nonconforming to current parking standards (even for general office and retail use).Pursuant to
HBMC Section 17.44.030,general office and retail uses now require one (1)parking space for every
250 square feet in gross floor area,whereas medical clinics require one (1)parking space per 200
square feet in gross floor area.
The City has been working with the property management company for 2200 PCH (Vectra
Management Group)since April of 2018 to find solutions to resolve the parking issues with the
established medical clinic uses which,under current code,require more parking than general office
uses.The City received a letter from the property owner’s representative on November 26,2019,
addressing the City’s inability to approve additional medical clinic business license applications at the
general commercial building located at 2200 PCH due to the current on-site parking supply.The City
sent a letter responding on January 28,2020 (Attachment 8)and suggested that the property
located at 2200 PCH apply for consideration of a Parking Plan before the Planning Commission.
APPLICANT REQUEST
The applicant requests consideration of a parking plan to accommodate existing and future medical
clinic uses through utilizing up to 40 shared parking spaces located at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel)at
the southernmost end of the parking lot/structure (Attachment 6 pp.56-59)to accommodate up to
100 percent medical clinic/office uses at 2200 PCH.The building would remain unaltered as part of
this request.No additional square footage would be added,the building envelope (height and mass)City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/5/2021Page 3 of 9

would not be increased and the building design would remain unchanged.The existing parking space
configuration and number of spaces would also remain unchanged.

regarding conversion of up to 100 percent medical use and
parking management, including provision of available visitor
parking and minimizing spill over to the surrounding
residential neighborhoods.
December 15, 2020
Planning Commission approval, with a vote of 2 -1, with two
members recusing themselves due to nearby property
interests.
Analysis:
At the November 17,2020 Planning Commission meeting,additional information was requested by
the Commission regarding the applicant’s application for its parking plan that would allow for the
conversion of up to 100 percent medical use and parking management,including provision of
available visitor parking and minimizing spillover to the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
The applicant proposed additional information and plan elements in an attempt to alleviate these
concerns.Specifically,through proposed parking management strategies,including reserved visitor
parking,notification and encouragement of employees to park in the Hope Chapel off-site structure,
and added signage within the parking areas requesting visitors and tenants not to park on
neighboring residential streets.At the December 15,2021 Planning Commission meeting,the
Planning Commission voted to approve the Parking Plan and included in the Resolution of Approval
Conditions to further mitigate neighborhood impacts.

REPORT 21-0158
Parking Management to Mitigate Neighborhood Impacts
The applicant recommended,and the Planning Commission approved at its December 15,2021
meeting,the following actions to efficiently manage parking for the building,included as Conditions 6
and 8 in the proposed Resolution.
Condition 6.
All parking shall be shared (not designated)and shared parking use signage shall be
established in all parking areas.Use of 40 parking spaces at 2420 Pacific Coast
Highway shall be used by employees of tenants of 2200 Pacific Coast Highway except
in circumstances when patrons of one or more tenants require overflow and spaces at
2420 Pacific Coast Highway when available.
Condition 8.
a)All parking spaces in the surface lot/deck (19 spaces)and the west subterranean
parking garage (18 spaces)will be limited to visitor parking only.Signs shall be
installed at the entry and inside the lot indicating that parking is for 2200 PCH
visitors only with no employee or tenant parking.
b)The Applicant shall make tenants aware of the availability of additional parking at
2420 PCH and request that they not park on neighboring streets.
c)Signs shall be installed inside each of the three on-site parking lots indicating
that additional parking is available at 2420 PCH during the hours of 7am to 6pm,
Monday through Friday.
d)Signs shall be installed inside each of the two subterranean parking lots
requesting visitors and tenants not to park on neighboring streets.
Existing Parking Conditions
Parking for 2200 PCH is provided in the form of a surface parking lot/deck and subterranean parking
(Attachment 6 pp.60-62).The property provides 86 on-site parking spaces-62 spaces are standard
(4 of which are provided in tandem),24 spaces are compact,and 2 spaces are disabled (ADA
compliant) spaces.
There are currently three medical clinic businesses with a combined floor area of 2,756 sq.ft.which
occupy 9.3%of the total gross floor area.The remaining 26,852 sq.ft.in gross floor area (90.7%)is
occupied by general office and/or psychologist businesses (non-medical).The remaining 10,238 sq.
ft.of gross floor area is used as common access corridors (elevators,stairs,and halls)and balconies
and are therefore excluded from the gross floor area for parking calculation purposes pursuant to the
definition of “gross floor area” provided in HBMC Section 17.44.010.
The building contains 29,338 square feet of gross floor area which includes leasable tenant space,

REPORT 21-0158
restrooms, storage, and mezzanines on the third floor.
It should be noted that there are no pending or immediate business license applications that would
shift the building to increased medical use.Approval of the requested parking plan does not mean
that the building would become all medical clinic/office use,but rather that it is the maximum use in
terms of parking impacts permitted.It is expected that medical uses would increase incrementally
with new leases for medical offices.
Parking Plan
HBMC Section 17.44.210 provides that a parking plan may be approved by the Planning Commission
to allow for a reduction in the number of spaces required.The applicant shall provide the information
necessary to show that adequate parking will be provided for customers,clients,visitors and
employees.Factors such as the following may be taken into consideration:van pools,bicycle and
foot traffic,common parking facilities,varied work shifts,valet parking,unique features of the
proposed uses,peak hours of the proposed use as compared with other uses sharing the same
parking facilities, and other methods of reducing parking demand.
ADA Accessibility
There are three main parking lots,all of which are ADA accessible through ramps or elevators (
Attachment 6 pp.60-62).The surface parking lot (19 spaces)and the West Subterranean Parking
Garage (18 spaces),both accessible from PCH,are reserved for visitor parking.The East
Subterranean Parking Garage (45 spaces) is accessible from 21st Street.
Parking Study and Parking Analysis
Existing Parking Demands and Surpluses
The applicant submitted a parking analysis prepared by Linscott Law &Greenspan,dated October
19,2018 (Attachment 6 pp.22-32).Staff reviewed the parking analysis and concurs with the
conclusion of the parking analysis which,taking into account the parking needs for 2200 PCH (based
on actual parking counts conducted in July 2018),and a future scenario of 100%medical office use,
the conversion to 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served by the 126-space
supply for the 2200 PCH Building.
Future/ Proposed Parking Demand and Surpluses
The parking study indicates that the weekday peak demand for 100 percent medical office use would
be 86 spaces (at 5:00 PM).Comparing this 86-space demand against the 126-space supply available
for use by 2200 PCH yields in a future surplus of 40 spaces.
The surplus is an estimate because it was derived from the application of City Code ratios which are
conservative in nature to ensure no parking deficiencies.This aspect is illustrated by actual parking
demand compilations from other sources,and detailed study of the actual parking demands of similarCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/5/2021Page 6 of 9

articles published in ITE Journal provide additional sources for parking ratio information.
Peer Review of Parking Study Completed
An independent peer review was conducted on the applicant’s submitted parking analysis and staff’s
analysis by the City’s parking and traffic consultant firm Interwest Group (Attachment 7).After review
of the November 17,2020 staff report and October 19,2018 parking study by Linscott Law &
Greenspan Engineer),the Interwest Group concluded that “the parking study prepared for this project
conservatively concludes that future parking demand will be adequately accommodated by the
existing 86 onsite spaces and 40 offsite shared-use spaces.”
Additional analysis is provided in the Technical Appendix (Attachment 3),including:HBMC
definitions,non-conforming Code sections,private parking agreement information with Hope Chapel,
and parking analysis methodology.
Environmental Determination:
Staff finds the project to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
defined in CEQA Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities,as the project involves negligible or no
expansion of an existing use.
The 27,189 square foot lot houses an approximately 29,338 sq.ft.three-story multi-tenant
commercial general office building.The applicant requests consideration of a Parking Plan to
accommodate existing and future medical clinic uses through utilizing up to 40 shared parking
spaces located at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel)at the southernmost end of the parking lot/structure to
accommodate up to 100 percent medical clinic/office uses at 2200 PCH.The building would remain
unaltered as part of this request.No additional square footage would be added,the building envelope
(height and mass)would not be increased and the building design would remain unchanged.The
existing parking space configuration and number of spaces would also remain unchanged.

RESOLUTION 21 –xx
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, SUSTAINING THE DECISION OF DECEMBER 15, 2020 PLANNING
COMMISSION DECISION TO APPROVE PARKING PLAN 20-4 REQUEST TO
ALLOW MEDICAL CLINIC/OFFICE USES AT AN EXISTING MULTI-TENANT
COMMERCIAL BUILDING (PACIFIC PLAZA OFFICES) LOCATED AT 2200
PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY BASED ON USE OF UP TO 40 SHARED PARKING
SPACES WITH 2420 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (HOPE CHAPEL); AND
DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. An application was filed by 2200 Associates LLC (C/O Raju Shah) on
July 20, 2020, requesting approval of a Parking Plan 20-04 to allow for, but not mandate, 100
percent medical clinic/office uses at an existing multi-tenant commercial building (Pacific Plaza
Offices) located at 2200 Pacific Coast Highway based on use of up to 40 shared parking spaces with
2420 Pacific Coast Highway (Hope Chapel).
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application on November 17, 2020 and on December 15, 2020, at which time
testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission and Parking Plan 20-4 was approved by a 2-1 vote, with two Planning Commissioners
recused due to financial interests in their property near the subject property.
SECTION 3. On January 12, 2021, the City Council removed Parking Plan 20-04 from
the Planning Commission List of Approved Actions on the Consent Calendar for reconsideration
by the City Council at a Public Hearing. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing
to consider the application on March 9, 2021.
SECTION 4. The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act defined in CEQA Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities, as the project involves
negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
The 27,189 square foot lot houses an approximately 29,338 sq. ft. three-story multi-tenant
commercial general office building. The applicant requests consideration of a Parking Plan to
accommodate existing and future medical clinic uses through utilizing up to 40 shared parking
spaces located at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel) at the southernmost end of the parking lot/structure
to accommodate up to 100 percent medical clinic/office uses at 2200 PCH. The building will
remain unaltered as part of this request. No additional square footage will be added, the building
envelope (height and mass) will not be increased and the building design will remain unchanged.
The existing parking space configuration and number of spaces will also remain unchanged.
SECTION 5. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the City Council makes the
following factual findings pertaining to the application for a Parking Plan pursuant to Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code Section 17.44.210:
In 1981 the City zoning code required retail and office uses to provide one parking space for
each 300 square feet of gross floor area and did not distinguish between a higher parking
requirement for medical clinics. Since the building was built, the City’s parking standards have
changed, rendering the building nonconforming to current parking standards.
The proposed Parking Plan (PARK 20-4) to allow up to 100 percent medical clinic/office uses at
an existing multi-tenant commercial building (Pacific Plaza Offices) located at 2200 Pacific Coast
Highway based on use of up to 40 shared parking spaces with 2420 Pacific Coast Highway (Hope
Chapel); as conditioned, is consistent with the zoning code and PLAN Hermosa through:
1) Applying the City’s non-conforming parking methodology which concludes that
converting to 100 percent medical uses would require 27 net additional parking spaces
which can be met though use of up to 40 shared spaced at 2420 PCH and with
2) Technical evidence provided through the parking analysis/study which concludes that
the conversion to 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served by the 126-
space supply due to the actual demand being 86-spaces yielding a future surplus of 40
spaces.
SECTION 6. Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the proposed
Parking Plan 20-04 subject to the following Conditions of Approval:
1. The approximately 29,338 sq. ft. three-story multi-tenant office building shall be
substantially consistent with plans and application submitted and approved by the
Planning Commission on December 15, 2020 and City Council on March 9, 2021,
authorizing up to 100 percent medical clinic uses. The Community Development
Director shall review and may approve minor modifications that do not otherwise
conflict with the Municipal Code or requirements of this approval, provided that the
use is not changed, intensity of use is not increased and the arrangement of space
would not increase negative impacts. Any substantial deviation, changes to the floor
plan, site plan, building exterior or addition to the hours which alter the primary
function of the use as a general commercial office and medical clinic building shall be
subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission.
2. Prior P.C. Resolution 81-26 pertaining to the subject property at 2200 Pacific Coast
Highway shall remain in full force and effect.

Response to Appeal of Parking Plan 20-4

Council Member Amato
Council Member Campbell
This submittal is in support of the Planning Commission’s action on December 15, 2020,
approving a parking plan for the Pacific Plaza Offices at 2200 Pacific Coast Highway (2200 PCH).
Background
The building at 2200 PCH has 35 office suites and 86 on-site parking spaces. The office
suites are accessed by outdoor balconies and walkways that face open-air courtyards. The City
approved construction of the building in 1981 for general office use. At that time, general office
use included medical offices, so both medical and non-medical offices were subject to the same
parking requirement -- one parking space per 300 square feet of gross floor area.
The City’s zoning code subsequently changed the parking requirement for medical offices
to one parking space per 250 square feet. Beginning in 2018, the City has been denying business
licenses to new medical office tenants at 2200 PCH, for lack of required on-site parking. Currently,
only two of the 35 tenant spaces are occupied by medical offices (both are psychiatric practices).
In 2018, the Applicant began working with the Department of Community Development
and the City Attorney to address this issue. In a letter dated January 28, 2020, the City suggested
that the Applicant apply for a Parking Plan pursuant to City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code
(“HBMC”) section 17.44.210. The Parking Plan was intended to include the use of 40 off-site
parking spaces at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel). The Applicant has the right to use these parking
spaces on weekdays pursuant to a reciprocal easement with Hope Chapel.
Over the next several months, the Applicant worked with the Community Development
Staff to create a parking plan that meets the requirements of the City’s existing parking code. The
Code has a specific provision that allows “non-conforming” parking to meet current standards
through the addition of parking spaces, on- or off-site. Under the Code, the Applicant is required
to provide 113 parking spaces in order to accommodate 100 percent medical office use at 2200
PCH. The Applicant is proposing to provide 126 parking spaces.
2
Parking Plan Application
On July 20, 2020, the Applicant formally submitted an application for approval of a parking
plan that would include a total of 126 parking spaces: 86 on-site spaces and 40 off-site parking
spaces at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel). The application included a parking study by Linscott Law &
Greenspan Engineers concluding that 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served
with the addition of the 40 off-site spaces. The City’s parking and traffic consultant firm, Interwest
Group, completed a peer review of the Linscott parking study that concurred with its findings.
Planning Commission Approval
The Planning Commission considered the application at hearings on November 17, 2020
and December 15, 2020. At the December 15 hearing, the Planning Commission approved the
Parking Plan, with several conditions intended to minimize impact on the surrounding
neighborhood. These included:
1) All parking spaces in the surface lot/deck (19 spaces) and the west subterranean parking
garage (18 spaces) will be limited to visitor parking only. Signs shall be installed at the
entry and inside the lot indicating that parking is for 2200 PCH visitors only with no
employee or tenant parking;
2) The Applicant shall make tenants aware of the availability of additional parking at 2420
PCH and request that they not park on neighboring streets;
3) Signs shall be installed inside each of the three on-site parking lots indicating that
additional parking is available at 2420 PCH during the hours of 7am to 6pm, Monday
through Friday; and
4) Signs will be installed inside each of the two subterranean parking lots requesting
visitors and tenants not to park on neighboring streets.
Neighborhood Concerns
Prior to the December 15, 2020 Planning Commission hearing, some neighbors voiced
concerns about spillover parking in their neighborhood and the workability of the proposed off-
site parking. The Planning Commission addressed those concerns in its conditions of approval.
For instance, one commenter questioned whether off-site parking was suitable for visitors to a
medical office. Under the conditions of approval, 37 of the on-site spaces would be for visitor
parking only. These 37 spaces are in parking lots immediately adjacent to either the building’s
main entrance or an elevator opening to the main entrance. Each of these access points is fully
ADA accessible. The 40 off-site parking spaces will be available to tenants and visitors, if
needed.
A concern was also raised that approval of 100 percent medical use could lead to use of
the building by a single tenant such as Kaiser Permanente. However, this scenario could not
occur without City approval even with the permitted 100% medical office use. The current
building design makes a single-tenant medical operation infeasible. The building is divided into
35 office condo units, the common walkways are outdoors, and major infrastructure
3
improvements would be required to accommodate an integrated medical facility. Moreover,
reconfiguration of the existing condominium units would require City approval. The City’s
consideration of these types of changes would come with a review of the adequacy of parking.
Maintaining Economic Vitality and Access to Local Medical Services
The significant shift in work routines and workspace usage over the past 12 months raises
a concern regarding the local demand for general office uses going forward. There will be a
shrinking pool of general office tenants in the near future. Medical offices can fill the gap, while
maintaining the availability of medical services in the community. This was the intent of the
zoning code in 1981, when the building was approved for up to 100 percent medical office use,
as a subset of general office use. Although the City subsequently changed the parking
requirement for medical offices, the Applicant, through the proposed parking plan, will meet the
code requirements to regain the medical office use capability that was originally approved in
1981.
Conclusion
The Parking Plan, which originated as a solution suggested by the City, has the support of
the Community Development Department, the City Attorney, and the Planning Commission.
Moreover, parking plans like this are not only envisioned by the City’s Municipal Code (see
HBMC, § 17.44.210), they also are encouraged by the City’s General Plan. The General Plan
consistently encourages property owners to explore shared parking arrangements with other uses.
(General Plan, Goal 4, Mobility Chapter [“[w]ith emphasis on residential parking needs, public
and shared parking supply, and seasonal peak parking demands, services need not be one size fits
all. Innovative parking supply solutions will be used to provide a variety of services tailored to
different users in addition to adopting policies that will incentivize targeted business and
commercial development of shared parking solutions.”.]) For the foregoing reasons, among
others, we ask that you uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of Parking Plan 20-4,
because it meets the requirements of the Zoning Code, it includes provisions that address
concerns of neighborhood spillover parking, and it would not lead to a single-tenant medical
operation in the building. In addition, your approval will be a step toward maintaining economic
vitality in the City and preserving the availability of medical services in the Hermosa Beach.
TECHNICAL APPLENDIX TO STAFF REPORT
Information Originally Included in November 17, 2020 Staff Report
City Code Definitions
Provided below are the City commercial land use definitions and general definitions
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.04) which include the following
related classifications.
"General office" means facilities where, as a primary use, the administrative activities of
a business are performed. General office includes but is n ot limited to:
D. Personal improvement services offices, including but not limited to counseling,
tutoring and similar services. Excludes gymnasium/health and fitness center,
educational institutions, medical office, beauty shops, massage therapy
businesses, and similar uses.
"Medical or dental clinic" means a place that provides patient care services on an
outpatient basis.
The City has been able to approve various business licenses for counselors and
psychologist offices at 2200 PCH without requiring additional parking. This is because
the use is classified as general office (and uses the parking standard for general office,
not medical clinic). The City interprets Psychologists as general office because
Psychologists focus extensively on psychotherapy and treating emotional and mental
suffering in patients with counseling and behavioral intervention. Based on the code
definition, the distinction is that “counseling” does not involve medical treatment,
medical devices, medical testing, presence of nurses, and other aspects of a medical
office. As articulated in the code, psychologists providing counseling services is a
general office use.
A Psychiatrists office, on the other hand, is a medical clinic since psychiatrists are
trained medical doctors, they can prescribe medications, and they spend much of their
time with patients on medication management as a course of treatment (which also may
include scales, blood pressure and other medical tests to properly prescribe
medication). Therefore, the city interprets Psychiatrists office as a medical clinic and
not a general office. The city has also been able to approve various psychiatrists at
2200 PCH if the prior tenant space was occupied by a previously City approved med ical
clinic.
However, when a space is converted from office or retail to medical clinic, that change
requires additional parking as set out in HBMC 7.52.035(E).
Non-Conforming Sites- Changes to a More Intense Use with a Higher Parking
Requirement
The following limitations apply to buildings in commercial zones nonconforming as to
parking. HBMC Section 17.52.035(E) states, “When the use of an existing commercial,
manufacturing or other non-residential building or structure is changed to a more
intense use with a higher parking requirement the requirement for additional parking
shall be calculated as the difference between the required parking as stated in Section
for that particular use as compared to the requirement for the existing or previous use,
which shall be met prior to occupying the building unless otherwise specified in Chapter.
In order for uses with higher parking requirements to operate on site, the building would
need to provide additional parking spaces for the net increase in required parking.
This is important for two reasons. First, if a tenant space was occupied by a prior
medical clinic, which was issued a valid business license from the City, then a new
medical clinic business could be approved for that same tenant space without providing
the additional parking spaces. This is because the change in tenant is not an
intensification for that space. However, due to the deficient code required parking at
2200 PCH, if the tenant space were previously occupied by a non -medical general
commercial use (such as general office or retail) then a business license for a new
medical clinic business could not be approved until additional parking could be provided
for the higher parking intensive use (or through approval of a Parking Plan), which is the
mechanism needed to authorize less than required parking such as through use of
common/shared parking facilities.
For these reasons, the current use mixture which includes various medical clinics must
be properly permitted through 1) approval of a Parking Plan and then 2) approval of
business license applications.
Additionally, the November 2019 letter references a connection between parking at
Hope Chapel and parking at 2200 PCH. In recent years, Hope Chapel has come in to
the city for various entitlements and changes of use, which change the parking
requirement for the site. The Hope Chapel site has received a Parking Plan, which is
the mechanism provided in the HBMC for the city to authorize a reduced amount of
parking based on the finding that the site is adequately parked.
Private Parking Agreement History and City Approved Parking Plan Records
In 2010 the property owner of 2200 PCH authorized Hope Chapel (2420 PCH) and the
prior youth center (2510 PCH) to use parking at 2200 PCH on limited days and during
limited hours. In 2010 the Planning Commission approved the shared parking plan
through PC Resolution 10-6. The 2010 parking plan authorized Hope Chapel and the
previous youth center (now Lazy Acres grocery store) to use shared parking at 2200
PCH. The approved parking plan did not authorize 2200 PCH to use parking at 2420
PCH, 2510 PCH or 950 Artesia Blvd to meet parking requirements at 2200 PCH.
In 2017 the church owned properties received approval of a shared parking plan where
all parking was provided on the church owned properties (2420 PCH, 2510 PCH and
950 Artesia Blvd). As such, the church and grocery store parking at 2200 PCH was no
longer necessary, and PC Resolution 10-6 was rescinded and no longer in effect.
Therefore, none of the 2200 PCH parking spaces are reserved for use by the
neighboring church and grocery store properties. The 40 off-site shared parking spaces
at 2420 PCH can be accessed from the sidewalk along PCH (Attachment 6 pgs. 63-64)
so that people can move from one shared parking lot to another by foot.
The City acknowledged the existence of the private parking agreement (Attachment 6
pgs. 35-44) between 2200 PCH and the Hope Chapel properties within the Parking Plan
Resolution (PC Resolution 18-14).The Parking Study was updated accordingly, based
on use of up to 40 spaces Monday through Friday from 7am to 6pm at Hope Chapel by
the office tenants at 2200 PCH, and the Parking Study concluded that adequate parking
will still be provided for the Hope Chapel, Lazy Acres and 950 Artesia Blvd on-site uses.
This Parking Plan, however, only regulates the use of the buildings that were part of that
application. Essentially the City found that even if tenants from 2200 PCH use up to 40
of the spaces during certain times of the day, the church and grocery store would still be
adequately parked. The approved parking plan did not authorize 2200 PCH to use
parking at 2420 PCH, 2510 PCH or 950 Artesia Blvd to meet parking requirements at
2200 PCH.

26,582 sq. ft. (existing non-medical) / (1:250 non-medical ratio) = 106 parking spaces
Total non-conforming code required parking = 120 parking spaces
Request to convert 26,582 sq. ft. (existing non-medical) to medical (1:200) = 133
parking spaces
133 (required for medical conversion) - 106 (existing non-medical parking credit) = Net
increase in 27 parking spaces required.
Going from 26,852 sq. ft. of general office uses to 100 percent medical uses would
require 27 net additional parking spaces from the 86 parking spaces currently provided
on-site at 2200 PCH. Therefore, the net increase in code required parking can be met
though use of up to 40 shared spaced at 2420 PCH.
Existing Parking Demands and Surpluses
The applicant submitted a Parking Analysis prepared by Linscott Law & Greenspan,
dated October 19, 2018 (Attachment 7 pgs. 22-32). Planning Staff reviewed the Parking
Analysis and concurs with the conclusion of the Parking Analysis which, taking into
account the empirical parking needs for 2200 PCH (based on actual parking counts
conducted in July 2018), and a future scenario of 100% medical office use, the
conversion to 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served by the 126-
space supply for the 2200 PCH Building.
.
Parking demand surveys were conducted on Wednesday, July 25, 2018, and Saturday,
July 27, 2018, to determine the existing parking needs of the existing tenants at the
2200 PCH Building. The Building was at 100% tenancy (i.e., fully occupied) when the
parking demand counts were performed. As indicated on Table 2, the weekday peak
demand observed for 2200 PCH was 41 spaces (at 3:00 PM). Comparing this 41-space
demand against the on-site supply of 85 spaces for 2200 PCH results in an existing,
actual/operational surplus of 44 spaces1. Based on this, the current parking needs of
the 2200 PCH building are fully met by spaces on site, without having to rely on the use
of off-site parking spaces (i.e., up to 40 spaces at 2420 PCH).
Under weekday conditions presented on Table 2, the total weekday peak demand for
2200 PCH and the Hope Chapel structure is 127 spaces (at 11:00 AM). Comparing
against the total supply of 210 spaces, the 127-space peak demand results in a surplus
83 spaces2. Table 3 indicates an actual surplus of 182 spaces at the minimum.
Future/ Proposed Parking Demand and Surpluses
The applicant is interested in implementing development Scenario 2 (100 percent
medical). Table 5 indicates that the weekday peak demand under development
Scenario 2 would be 86 spaces (at 5:00 PM). Comparing this 86-space demand against
the 125-space supply available for use by 2200 PCH yields in a future surplus of 39
spaces3.
The 39-space surplus under Scenario 2 is a conservative estimate because it was
derived from the application of City Code ratios. The actual parking requirements for
medical offices have been found to be less than the City Code requirement of 5 spaces
per 1,000 SF. This aspect is illustrated by actual parking demand compilations from
other sources, and detailed study of the actual parking demands of similar sites. Parking
Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)1 as well as
articles published in ITE Journal provide additional sources for parking ratio information.
In addition, other jurisdictions in Los Angeles County and that are near the City of
Hermosa Beach all have code parking ratios for medical office buildings that are less,
as follows:
• Redondo Beach (for chiropractic, physical therapy, psychotherapy): 3.33
• spaces per 1,000 SF
• Rancho Palos Verdes: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
• Santa Monica: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
• Hawthorne: 3.33 spaces per 1,000 SF
• Culver City: 2.86 spaces per 1,000 S
See Attachment 3 Applicant Supplemental Memo Clarifying Parking Space Adjustments Over Time
1 86 actual spaces based on current conditions resulting in an actual surplus of 45 spaces (see applicant supplemental
memo dated 10-28-20 clarifying parking count adjustments over time)
2 211 actual spaces based on current conditions resulting in an actual surplus of 84 spaces (see applicant
supplemental memo dated 10-28-20 clarifying parking count adjustments over time)
3 126 actual supply yields an actual surplus of 40 spaces (see applicant supplemental memo dated 10 -28-20
clarifying parking count adjustments over time)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2200 Associates, LLC (“applicant”) hereby requests that the City of Hermosa Beach
Planning Commission (“Planning Commission”) formally approve a Parking Plan for 2200
Pacific Coast Highway (“PCH”) pursuant to City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”)
section 17.44.210 (“Parking Plan”). The applicant also requests that the approval acknowledge
four existing tandem parking spaces at 2200 PCH.
By seeking a Parking Plan approval, the applicant seeks formal acknowledgment that the
Property complies with City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) parking requirements for 100 percent
medical office use based on the existence of 86 on-site parking spaces and 40 off-site parking
spaces.
1. Justification for 100 Percent Medical Office Use with Current Available Parking
Original City Approval
2200 (PCH) is a commercial building built in 1981, approved for general office use. At
that time, the HBMC required three parking spaces per 1,000 s.f.., or 92 parking spaces, for the
building.
2
Existing Parking Ratios under the HBMC
The HBMC bases parking requirements on the proportion of a building’s “gross floor
area.” 1 occupied by a particular type of use. Whereas in 1981, the HBMC considered medical
office use as a subset of general office use, and therefore subject to the same parking
requirement, the code now imposes different parking requirements for general office and medical
office uses. General office use now requires four spaces per 1,000 s.f. (or 1:250). Medical office
use now requires five spaces per 1,000 s.f. (or 1:200). (See HBMC, § 17.44.030.).
The Existing Mix of Uses at 2200 PCH is 9.3% Medical and 90.7% General Office
2200 PCH has a gross floor area of 29,338 s.f., based on a floor plan survey of each
office prepared by Lasertech in July 2017 (Attachment 2 of the application). Per the HBMC, the
building’s gross floor area is calculated as the aggregate gross floor area of all offices plus the
gross floor area of all restrooms.
The City considers an office to be a medical office if it involves the provision of services
by a medical doctor. To determine how much of the gross floor area of 2200 PCH currently is
occupied by medical offices, versus general office space, we matched up the gross floor area of
each office with its tenant and identified whether the tenant’s business involved the provision of
services by a medical doctor. Based on such a survey, we determined the medical/general office
usage to be as follows:
Medical Offices:
1147.8 sq. ft. Wellness Institute of Southern California (Suite 217)
753.9 sq. ft. Kelly Waggoner and Michele Blume (Suite 215)
855.1 sq. ft. Alann Dingle, Jacqueline Mills, and Elizabeth Cowart (Suite 218)
2,756 sq. ft.
Building Gross Floor Area: 29,338 s.f.
Total Medical Use: 2,756 sq. ft. or 9.3% Medical Office Use
Total General Office Use: 26,582 s.f. or 90.7% General Office Use
This analysis is based on the current tenant roster set forth below.
1 The term “gross floor area” means “the total area occupied by a building or structure, excepting therefrom only the
area of any inner open courts, corridors, open balconies (except when utilized, e.g., restaurant seating or similar
usage), and open stairways. Such total area shall be calculated by measuring along the outside dimensions of the
exterior surfaces of such building or structure.” HBMC, § 17.44.010.

113 Parking Spaces are Required for a Change to 100 Percent Office Use
The parking requirement for medical office use is greater than that required for general
office use. Therefore, a change from 9.3% medical office use to 100% medical office use
triggers a change in the required parking.
4
Under HBMC 17.52.035(E), when the use of an existing commercial building is changed
to a more intense use with a higher parking requirement, the requirement for additional parking
is the difference between the currently required parking for that particular use and the existing
available parking. In order for uses with higher parking requirements to operate on site, the
building would need to provide additional parking spaces for the net increase in required
parking.
In this case, the gross floor area subject to the change in use is 26,582 sq. ft. of general
office space. The current required parking for 26,582 sq. ft. of general office spaces is 106
parking spaces. The required parking for 26,582 sq. ft. of medical office space is 133 parking
spaces. The net increase for required parking is 27 parking spaces. Therefore, to support a
change in use to 100% medical office space, the required parking is 86 spaces (current) plus 27
spaces (net increase), which equals 113 parking spaces.
2200 PCH has 126 Available Parking Spaces
2200 PCH has 86 on-site parking spaces and access to 40 off-site parking spaces. 2 Four
of the on-site spaces are tandem spaces. The site has access to the additional 40 off-site spaces at
2420 PCH by way of an easement agreement (“Parking Easement”) with the property owner,
International Church of the Four Square Gospel (Hope Chapel). The City has acknowledged the
existence of the Parking Easement. (See, Planning Commission Resolution 18-14, enclosed
herewith.) The City noted if 2200 PCH used the 40 spaces subject to the easement, Hope Chapel
would still be adequately parked. (Id.)
An easement is a property right. (See People v. Kubic (1967) 254 Cal.App.2d 470.) The
Parking Easement permits access to the 2420 PCH parking stalls on Mondays through Fridays,
from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Those times are consistent with the peak hours for uses on the 2200
PCH and the off-peak times for 2420 PCH. The Parking Easement also sets forth maintenance
obligations on the 2420 PCH. (See, Parking Easement, at p. 2.) Such obligations ensure that the
parking stalls will be maintained in accordance with the intent of HBMC section 17.44.060,
governing “common parking facilities.” The Property has enjoyed the right to use the additional
parking spaces at 2420 PCH since the early 1980s, either through a parking easement or the
original joint ownership of the two parcels. Notably, 2200 Associates granted Hope Chapel a
similar easement for the benefit of 2420 PCH to use 40 parking stalls at 2200 PCH from 6:00 PM
on Fridays to 12:00 AM on Sundays. The two easements therefore appear to be reciprocal.
The 2018 Parking Analysis
In 2018, Linscott, Law & Greenspan prepared a parking analysis finding that with the
combined 126 on-site and off-site parking spaces, 2200 PCH had a sizable surplus of parking
compared to parking demand. We note that the Linscott Analysis had certain assumptions that
varied from those in our application. For instance, the Linscott Analysis used a “net building
area” of 27,406 sq. ft. and identified only 85 parking spaces on site. As to the number of parking
spaces, the Linscott Analysis lists 46 spaces in the gated east subterranean parking garage for
tenants. A current survey of that garage shows only 45 spaces, because one of the spaces is

ADA spaces and the loss of spaces due to the installation of equipment partially blocking spaces.

blocked by mechanical equipment. The Linscott Analysis lists only 2 tandem spaces, though
both the current parking survey and the original site plans show 4 tandem parking spaces.
Furthermore, the Linscott Analysis did not find any existing medical offices on site, but we are
not aware of whether Linscott investigated whether any were occupied by medical doctors.
Notwithstanding these issues, we believe that the findings of the Linscott Analysis
remain applicable to the parking conditions on the site, given the large surplus of available
spaces identified by the Analysis.
2. Conclusion
The total available parking for 2200 PCH is 126 spaces, exceeding both the 92 spaces
required by the 1981 City approval and the 113 spaces required by a change in use under the
current code. We request that the Planning Commission formally approve a Parking Plan
pursuant to HBMC section 17.44.210, including acknowledgment of four tandem parking spaces,
thereby finding sufficient parking for 100 percent medical office use at 2200 PCH.

Mar Ventures, Inc.
721 N. Douglas Street
El Segundo, CA 90245
LLG Reference: 2.18.4010.1
Subject: Parking Study for 2200 Pacific Coast Highway
Hermosa Beach, California
Dear Ms. Chionis:
As requested, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this
parking study for the 2200 Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) building located in the City
of Hermosa Beach. The existing building is 27,406 square feet (SF) in size,
consisting of 18,217 SF of general office, 1,007 SF of massage therapist/acupuncture
uses, a 1,135-SF wellness center, and 7,047 SF of therapist offices.
This study was conducted to assess the feasibility of increasing medical office uses
within the 2200 PCH Building by converting from existing general office space. In
addition to the existing land use mix, two future development scenarios were
evaluated, with each tabulation incrementally adding more medical office uses by
reducing general office uses in the 2200 PCH Building.
The existing on-site supply for 2200 PCH totals 85 spaces, consisting of 46 spaces in
a gated parking garage for tenants, 19 spaces on a visitor parking lot, 18 spaces on a
subterranean level below the visitor parking lot, and 2 spaces in tandem on one of the
project driveways. In addition, this study accounts for up to 40 spaces in the
adjoining Hope Chapel parking structure that the 2200 PCH Building may use from
7:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Monday through Friday (not on Saturday or Sunday). The
total existing parking supply for 2200 PCH is therefore 125 spaces (85 on site, plus
40 off site/at Hope Chapel).
Briefly, our findings indicate that the City Code-based parking requirements for the
existing land use mix, and development Scenario 1, would be adequately served by
2200 PCH’s current supply of 125 spaces. The City Code-based requirements under
development Scenario 2 would exceed the 125-space supply by 12 spaces. Taking
into account the empirical parking needs for 2200 PCH (based on actual parking
counts conducted in July 2018), the existing land use mix, and each of the two future
Scenarios 1 and 2 would be adequately served by the 125-space supply for the 2200
PCH Building.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Table 1 presents the existing development summary, as well as two future scenarios
for the 2200 PCH Building, with each tabulation incrementally adding more medical
office by reducing general office uses in the 2200 PCH Building. The following
presents a land use breakdown for the existing and future scenarios:
Land Use Existing Scenario 1 Scenario 2
General Office 66% 36% 0%
Massage Therapist
& Acupuncture 4% 4% 0%
Wellness Center 4% 4% 0%
Therapist Office 26% 26% 26%
Medical Office 0% 30% 74%
PROJECT CITY CODE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The lower portion of Table 1 presents the City Code parking calculations for the
existing and future scenarios for the 2200 PCH Building, based on the application of
City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code requirements outlined in Chapter 17.44 – Off
Street Parking.
Under the existing land use mix, the City Code requirement totals 117 spaces, which
corresponds to a Code-based surplus of 8 spaces when compared against the total
supply of 125 spaces for the 2200 PCH Building.
The City Code requirement for Scenario 1 totals 125 spaces, which would exactly
match the 125-space total supply.
The City Code requirement for Scenario 2 totals 137 spaces. Compared against the
125-space supply, the 137-space Code requirement would result in a Code-based
deficiency of 12 spaces.
EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS
Parking demand surveys were conducted on Wednesday, July 25, 2018, and Saturday,
July 27, 2018, to determine the existing parking needs of the existing tenants at 2200
PCH Building. It should be noted that the Building was at 100% tenancy (i.e., fully
occupied) when the parking demand counts were performed. The parking utilization
survey results for weekday and Saturday conditions are summarized in Tables 2 and
3, respectively.

The left-hand portion (in yellow) of Tables 2 and 3 present a comparison of observed
demand against supply focused to the 85 on-site spaces in Zones 1 through 4 at 2200
PCH. The right-hand portion (in green) of Tables 2 and 3 then adds the demand
observed in the adjoining 125-space parking structure owned by Hope Chapel
(categorized by the 24 spaces located closest to 2200 PCH, and the remainder of 101
spaces). The right-hand columns (in blue) of Tables 2 and 3 report the totals for 2200
PCH and Hope Chapel’s parking structure.
As indicated on Table 2, the weekday peak demand observed for 2200 PCH was 41
spaces (at 3:00 PM). Comparing this 41-space demand against the on-site supply of
85 spaces for 2200 PCH results in an existing, actual/operational surplus of 44 spaces.
Surpluses are greater during all other hours of the weekday. Based on this, the
current parking needs of the 2200 PCH Building are fully met by spaces on site,
without having to rely on the use of off-site parking spaces (i.e., 40 spaces in the
adjoining Hope Chapel parking structure).
Under weekday conditions presented on Table 2, the Hope Chapel parking structure
has an existing peak demand of 95 spaces (at 11:00 AM), which corresponds to a
surplus of 30 spaces compared to Hope Chapel’s 125-space supply in the structure.
The total weekday peak demand for 2200 PCH and the Hope Chapel structure is 127
spaces (at 11:00 AM). Comparing against the total supply of 210 spaces, the 127-
space peak demand results in a surplus 83 spaces.
Table 3 indicates that parking demand on a Saturday are significantly less than
weekday conditions for both the 2200 PCH Building and the Hope Chapel parking
structure, resulting in an actual surplus of 182 spaces at the minimum.
FUTURE PARKING DEMAND
Starting with the observed demand in the 85-space on-site supply for 2200 PCH
(based on the July 25, 2018 parking demand counts), then accounting for the future
conversion from existing general office to future medical office, Tables 4 and 5 were
developed to identify future surplus or deficiency.
The middle portion of each table reports parking needs for specific suites in the 2200
PCH Building, as its current use as general office, then as future medical office. The
demand values reported under these column headings were estimated based upon the
application of City Code parking ratios for general office (4 spaces per 1,000 SF) and
medical office (5 spaces per 1,000 SF), and the hourly demand profiles from the Urban
Land Institute’s (ULI’s) Shared Parking (Second Edition) publication. The hourly
demand values for the general office to be replaced are subtractive, and those in the
future medical office category are additive.

Table 4 indicates that the weekday peak demand under development Scenario 1 would
be 61 spaces (at 11:00 AM). Comparing this 61-space demand against the 125-space
supply available for use by 2200 PCH results in a future surplus of 64 spaces.
Table 5 indicates that the weekday peak demand under development Scenario 2 would
be 86 spaces (at 5:00 PM). Comparing this 86-space demand against the 125-space
supply available for use by 2200 PCH yields in a future surplus of 39 spaces.
The 39-space surplus under Scenario 2 is a conservative estimate because it was
derived from the application of City Code ratios. The actual parking requirements for
medical offices have been found to be less than the City Code requirement of 5
spaces per 1,000 SF. This aspect is illustrated by actual parking demand compilations
from other sources, and detailed study of the actual parking demands of similar sites.
Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)1 as
well as articles published in ITE Journal provide additional sources for parking ratio
information. “Land Use 720: Medical-Dental Office Building” of Parking
Generation covered 18 sites that resulted in an average parking demand ratio of 3.53
spaces/1,000 SF, with an 85th percentile value of 4.30 spaces/1,000 SF. Further, an
ITE Journal article on medical office buildings2 concluded that 4.5 parking
spaces/1,000 SF should be provided for medical office buildings.
Other sources for medical office parking ratios come from actual experience at
equivalent sites, or in the case of medical office uses, overall medical center sites
where the medical office parking needs were isolated from the total medical center
parking demand by detailed field study and analysis. One such study was that for the
Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Medical Center in Santa Clarita. A 2007 study by
LLG (with final report dated May 19, 2008) isolated the parking needs for
approximately 95,000 SF of existing medical office space at 4.64 spaces/1,000 SF.
In addition, other jurisdictions in Los Angeles County and that are near the City of
Hermosa Beach all have code parking ratios for medical office buildings that are less,
as follows:
Redondo Beach (for chiropractic, physical therapy, psychotherapy): 3.33
spaces per 1,000 SF
Rancho Palos Verdes: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
Santa Monica: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
Hawthorne: 3.33 spaces per 1,000 SF
Culver City: 2.86 spaces per 1,000 SF

Based on the above, we conclude that taking into account the empirical parking needs
for 2200 PCH (based on actual parking counts conducted in July 2018), the existing
land use mix, and each of the two future Scenarios 1 and 2 would be adequately
served by the 125-space supply for the 2200 PCH Building.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Mr. Iside:
I represent 2200 Associates, LLC, the owners of 2200 Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), Hermosa Beach,
90254. There is currently in effect a recorded reciprocal parking easement between 2200 PCH and
2420 PCH, which is owned by International Church of the Four Square Gospel (Hope Chapel). The
parking easement permits 2200 PCH to use up to 40 parking stalls in the southern half of the parking
lot at 2420 PCH on Mondays through Fridays, from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. The easement permits 2420
PCH to use up to 40 parking stalls at 2200 PCH from 6:00 PM on Fridays to 12:00 AM on Sundays.
2200 Associates, LLC, has applied to the City of Hermosa Beach (City) for approval of a Parking Plan
governing the site at 2200 PCH. The application constitutes a request for the City to formally
recognize use of the shared parking by 2200 PCH on the lot at 2420 PCH, as set forth in the recorded
parking easement. The purpose of this email is to obtain affirmative confirmation that the owner of
2420 PCH is aware of the pending Parking Plan application. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate if
you would respond to this message, acknowledging receipt.
This will not be the only notice that is provided. Prior to any hearing on the Parking Plan, properties
within 500 feet of 2200 PCH will receive notice from the City of the hearing.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Christy Teague, AICP
Senior Planner
Community Development Department
City of Hermosa Beach
FROM: Nicole Jules, PE, Consulting Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: Peer Review of 2200 PCH Parking Plan
The purpose of this memo is to review and provide comment regarding the proposed parking
plan prepared for 2200 Pacific Coast Highway for a proposed conversion of general office use
to medical office use by utilizing on-site parking and exercising a shared-use parking strategy
with a nearby property to satisfy the HBMC parking requirements. The following documents
were reviewed as part of this peer review:
• November 17, 2020 Planning Commission Staff Report
• Applicant submittal with explanation and LLG October 2018 Parking Study
Existing Conditions
2200 Pacific Coast Highway is a 29,338 square foot commercial building consisting of medical
and general office uses. The property is located on the north east corner of Pacific Coast
Highway at 21st Street. Both Pacific Coast Highway and 21st Street are public streets with on-
street public parking and sidewalks.
Page 2 of 3
2200 Pacific Coast Highway
Parking Study Peer Review
The subject location provides 86 on-site parking spaces and 40 offsite shared parking spaces
located at 2420 Pacific Coast Highway, for a total of 126 available parking spaces. The off-site
shared parking arrangement is established by a reciprocal parking easement between private
parties that was recorded with the County on September 10, 2013.
Existing Parking Demand:
In review of the October 2018 parking study prepared by LLG, inconsistent information was
found between the LLG Study, the application and staff’s determination. Of particular disparity
is the number of parking spaces reported in the LLG study compared to other documentation
submitted and field conditions. In July 2018, a parking demand study was conducted to
determine the utilization of existing available parking spaces. While there was no issue with the
study outcome, there is inconsistent information regarding the actual number of parking
spaces. The table below summarizes the parking space discrepancy.

Total 125 126
While the number of spaces reported in the study was incorrect by one space, the resulting
conclusion that there is a surplus of on-site parking during existing conditions is supported.
Proposed Parking Requirement
The applicant is requesting to increase medical use from 9.3% to 100%. The parking
requirements associated with this shift in use is greater than the current use and therefore is
subject to greater parking requirements. In accordance with HBMC Section 17.44.210 the net
increase in parking spaces required for this shift in use is 27 spaces. With 86 existing spaces
Page 3 of 3
2200 Pacific Coast Highway
Parking Study Peer Review
on site and the available 40 shared-use spaces at 2420 PCH, the required 27 spaces can be
met.

Non-medical 26,582 106 Non-Medical - -106
Total 29,338 120 Total - +27
Converting the non-medical use (general office) to 100% medical use would require 27
additional parking spaces. Therefore, the code required parking spaces of 27 additional
spaces can be satisfied through use of the 40 shared spaces located at 2420 PCH.
Proposed Parking Demand
The LLG Parking Study conservatively estimated that the proposed project utilizing 100%
medical use would result in a surplus of 39 spaces. This conservative estimate was derived
based on utilizing City Code parking ratio of 5 spaces per 1,000 SF of medical office space.
While this parking ratio is higher than industry standard rates suggested by ITE Parking
Generation Manual as well as other nearby municipalities, this conservatively empirical
estimate would be sufficiently served by the 126 parking spaces available from onsite and off-
site parking.
Conclusion
A peer review of the proposed parking plan for 2200 Pacific Coast Highway was completed
and concludes that the proposed conversion of general office uses to 100 percent medical uses
would require 27 additional parking spaces which can be satisfied through use of 40 offsite
shared-use parking spaces located at 2420 Pacific Coast Highway and that the parking study
prepared for this project conservatively concludes that future parking demand will be
adequately accommodated by the existing 86 onsite spaces and 40 offsite shared-use spaces.

City Manager: Please send this letter to all Councilmembers, regarding the 2200 PCH
Parking Plan, for the City Council meeting of March 9, 2021.
March 1, 2021
Subject: 2200 Pacific Coast Highway, Parking Plan 20-4
To the Hermosa Beach City Council,
My family and I are strongly and absolutely opposed to the proposal for medical office use
at 2200 Pacific Coast Highway and the proposed parking sharing with 2420 Pacific Coast
Highway.
The existing tenants of 2200 PCH already fill our local streets (Borden Ave, 21st Street, and
Rhodes Street) every workday with their overflow cars. There is a shortage of available
parking for that office building, and the small streets of our neighborhood are clogged
because of it. To allow this more intensive use will make things even worse.
The idea of having tenants or visitors park at 2420 PCH, and walk to 2200 PCH is absurd.
The distance from the Hope Chapel parking lot to the entry stair of 2200 PCH is over 600
feet- a very long walk, and on very steep grades. The proposed walking route from Hope
Chapel is down a steep vehicular driveway, without even a pedestrian lane (violating the
current building code). Because the parking lot is not connected to the building lot, the
walking route along PCH crosses two commercial driveways of unaffiliated businesses.
Finally, the entrance to 2200 PCH is up a steep, narrow driveway, without a pedestrian path
(again violating current code). There's not even a dedicated pedestrian path to the main
entry of 2200 PCH; one must walk through the vehicle parking lot (another code violation).
This "path" would be extremely dangerous. Also, the route is so steep that it would violate
the most basic state disabled access requirements (California Building Code section 11B-
206.2.1). And critically, because of the danger, driveways like the ones at 2200 PCH and
2420 PCH, where pedestrians are forced to walk through vehicular driveways, have not
been allowed in California for decades. The City would put itself in a precarious legal
position by permitting a new violation of the Building Code. The City should NOT suggest
that this route is either safe or allowable.
This proposal should never have made it to the Planning Commission. People will avoid
taking this route, and they will park on our small streets instead. I hope that each
Councilmember will walk along this proposed pathway, and see how awkward and
dangerous it really is.

(Deputy City Engineer Lucho Rodriguez)
(Deputy City Attorney Kathy Shin)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council introduce on first reading an Ordinance amending Chapter 8.52 of the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Floodplain Management Regulations, for compliance under the
National Flood Insurance Program
Background:
In 2017, as part of the its Open Pacific Coast Study, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(“FEMA”) updated the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (“FIRM” or “flood maps”) for communities located
along the California coast, including Hermosa Beach. The revised maps do not substantially change
the City’s flood hazard determinations. However, when FEMA issues a community new or revised
flood maps, the community must revise its floodplain regulations for consistency under the National
Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”). (44 CFR § 60.3(e).)
Analysis:
Attachment 1 contains FEMA’s suggested revisions to the City’s floodplain management ordinance
(codified in Chapter 8.52 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code). The City’s consultant, Schaaf and
Wheeler, have affirmed that FEMA’s proposed edits conform with the NFIP and recommend that the
edits be adopted in their entirety.
Apart from a few non-substantive edits, the proposed amendments principally clarify the construction
requirements in the Special Flood Hazard Area (“SFHA”), the area in a floodplain subject to a 1
percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. Specifically, consistent with the requirements
of the NFIP and the California Building Code, the proposed ordinance requires all new and
substantially improved residential development, including manufactured homes, in the SFHA to be

elevated by at least one foot above the Base Flood Elevation (“BFE”). The BFE refers to the height
floodwaters are expected to reach during a 1 percent annual chance flood, as designated in FEMA
flood maps. In other words, residential development in the SFHA require a minimum elevation of BFE
and one foot of freeboard. (“Freeboard” refers to a factor of safety expressed in terms of structural
feet above the BFE.) According to FEMA’s revised flood maps, the City’s SFHA remains
predominantly west of the Strand wall.
Under the NFIP, jurisdictions are required to revise their floodplain management regulations
according to FEMA’s BFE determinations by the effective date of any revised map. The City’s revised
flood maps take effect on April 21, 2021.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s
General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Public Safety Element
Goal 1. Injuries and loss of life are prevented, and property loss and damage are minimized.
Policies
·Evaluate risks.Buildings and infrastructure will be periodically evaluated for seismic, fire,
flood, and coastal storm hazard risks and identified risks will be minimized by complying with
California Building Code standards and other applicable regulations.
·1.5 Minimize coastal flooding.Natural interventions, green infrastructure, and infiltration
systems will be utilized to minimize damage from coastal flooding.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the amendment of the Flood Plain Management ordinance .

Section 6. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance is declared to be invalid by a
court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any remaining provision hereof. The City
Council of the City of Hermosa Beach hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance
despite any partial invalidity.
Section 7. Environmental Review. The City Council finds that adopting the foregoing
amendments to the City’s floodplain management regulations is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. (14
Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3).) This Ordinance adopts amendments identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as necessary to ensure that the City’s building
standards account for the risk of regional flood hazards, consistent with the National Flood
Insurance Program. The amendments are thus administrative in nature and designed to improve
and not degrade environmental quality. As such, there is no possibility that adopting this
ordinance would adversely affect the environment in any manner that could be significant for
purposes of CEQA. The measure also qualifies for the Class 8 exemption for agency actions
taken to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment. 14
Cal. Code Regs. § 15308. By regulating construction in flood hazard areas, the ordinance ensures
the protection of the City’s build environment.
Section 8. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its
passage and adoption pursuant to California Government Code section 36937.
Section 9. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance and shall cause the same, or the summary thereof, to be published or posted in the
manner required by law.

Adjourned Regular Meeting of March 9, 2021
RELEASE THE HOLD PLACED ON CIP 544-GREENBELT ACCESSIBLE PATH ASSESSMENT
AND APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO ACCESS, INC.’s PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT
(Public Works Director Marnell Gibson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Release the hold placed on CIP 544-Greenbelt Accessible Path Assessment;
2.Authorize an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement No. 20.04 with Access, Inc.
for an additional $10,000 from CIP 544 to identify and provide an assessment of alternatives
for an accessible path within the Greenbelt; and
3.Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the amendment to the Professional
Services Agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
CIP 544-Greenbelt Accessible Path Assessment (Attachment 1)needs to be released from the on-
hold list for staff to initiate work on this project.
Staff recommends amending the existing contract with Access,Inc.to authorize work on this study
which would include assessing alternatives and identifying any potential impacts.
Background:
In 2017,Capital Improvement Project (CIP)544 was created as a study for the feasibility of installing
an accessible path on the Greenbelt.This project was later put on hold by Council due to the large
number of projects active and the low availability of staff to work on all the projects.
Access,Inc.,an accessibility specialist,was retained by the City on October 9,2020 to assist the City
with the assessment of pending ADA grievances and to assist with design guidelines and
performance assessment of the accessible path on the beach (Attachment 2).

REPORT 21-0145
Discussion:
In order to begin work on Capital Improvement Project CIP 544,the project would need to be
released from the on-hold status.This action would then facilitate the issuance of a task order to a
consultant to begin the analysis.
The scope of work of the study is currently described as “Determine the feasibility of installing an
accessible surface path on the Greenbelt to provide a firm,natural looking path that increases
accessibility for the disabled and boosts accessibility for all”(Attachment 3).
In October 2020,the City retained the services of an ADA access specialist,Access,Inc.,under
Professional Services Agreement (PSA)20-004 for $30,000,and was executed under the City
Manager’s authority.The original scope of work for Access,Inc.was primarily to provide expert
evaluation of ADA grievances that have been filed with the City,and to assist with providing a design
and ADA compliance recommendations for an access path on the beach.
To further the ongoing efforts of increasing accessibility throughout the City,the services of Access,
Inc.,were retained based on their expertise and knowledge with the regulations as well as their
familiarity with the City of Hermosa Beach.Retaining their continued services to provide an
assessment of alternatives for an accessible path within the Greenbelt requires an amendment to the
current PSA.Amendment 1 would require funding of up to $10,000 which is available in CIP 544
project. This would bring the total PSA to a new Not-to-Exceed amount of $40,000.

MIDYEAR BUDGET REVIEW 2020-21
Continued from February 23, 2021
(Finance Director Viki Copeland)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Approve the revisions to estimated revenue,appropriations,budget transfers,and fund balances
as shown herein and in the attached Revenue Detail Report,Additional Appropriations Report,
Budget Transfers Report, and Budget Summary Report;
2.Approve the following transactions from the General Fund:
a.Transfer $88,294 to the assigned fund balance for Contingencies in order to maintain the
City’s target of 16% of appropriations for this goal;
b.Transfer $1,751,688 of unspent funds from 2019-20 from the unassigned fund balance
category to the assigned fund balance category; and
c.Transfer 1,823,416 of unspent funds from 2020-21 from the unassigned fund balance
category to the assigned fund balance category.
3.Receive and file the attached information about City Council travel.
Executive Summary:
With an estimated revenue increase of 4.9%or $1,773,914 and changes in the General Fund balance for
General Plan Maintenance Fees and Frontier Public Educational and Government (PEG)Grant,funds
are available to cover the midyear requests for additional appropriations of $237,769,an increase to the
Contingency (Rainy Day Fund)of $88,294,and assign the remaining balance of $1,823,416 for use in the
2021-22 Annual Budget, if needed.
Background:
The City has conducted a Midyear Budget Review annually since fiscal year 1981-82.The review is a
good tool to ensure that assumptions and estimates originally used to prepare the budget ten months
earlier remain realistic.All revisions will be recorded as of January 31,2021 so that midyear revisions for
revenue and appropriations will reflect in the 2020-21 Budget worksheets used for preparation of the
2021-22 Budget.

be provided. See Attachment 5.
Analysis:
OVERVIEW
The 2020-2021 Budget was compiled assuming that COVID-19 impacts would continue through
December, with the second half of this year returning to “normal”. That seemed very conservative at the
time; however, it is now known that COVID-19 may well continue through June 2021 and beyond. The
Midyear revenue and appropriations were prepared with the assumption that COVID-19 will continue
through June 30, 2021.
While COVID-19 continues to impact revenue, the Midyear Budget Review estimates an increase in
revenue of 4.9% or $1,773,914. Staff recommends that the City’s Contingency (Rainy Day Fund) be
adjusted to the goal of 16% of appropriations for operations by adding $88,294. In addition, staff
recommends that any remaining funds be assigned for the 2021-22 Budget. During budget preparation,
staff will evaluate if there are sufficient funds available to transfer according to the City’s fund balance
policies outlined later in the staff report or if these funds should be used in the 2021-22 Budget.
REVENUE
(Refer to Attachment 1, Midyear Revenue Detail Report, for individual revenue accounts.)
Revenue is estimated to increase 4.9%over the 2020-21 Budget,but is still 3.5%below 2019-20 actual
revenue and 10%below 2018-19 actual revenue.The following chart shows revenue by category and the

TAXES
Property Tax
The estimate for secured property tax revenue is increased by 0.3%to reflect growth of 5%over 2019-20
actual revenue;the original budget assumed growth of 5.4%over the 2019-20 Budget.The new estimate
is $15,992,604. Growth for the prior four years was 5.6%, 8%, 8%, and 7% respectively.
Sales Tax
Sales tax revenue remains at the original budgeted amount of $2,750,820.Based on first quarter
revenue,the budget estimate would be a bit high;however,revenue will be received from the new auto
dealership due to a sales tax sharing agreement with Redondo Beach so the estimate is unchanged.The
estimate is essentially at the 2019-20 level and is 15% under 2018-19 due to COVID-19.

As shown in the charts on the following page,the category with the highest sales tax overall is still
Eating/Drinking Places,which decreased 34.3%from the prior year followed closely by the County/State
Pool which grew by 47%over last year.This reflects the increase in internet sales since more people are
shopping remotely.The categories with the highest dollar increase are County/State Pool and Other
Retail.
The following charts compare sales tax on major accounts for only the first quarter of this year to the first
quarter of last year for the top ten business classes and by geographic area.Detailed information on

Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)receipts for the first half are 27.5%higher than budget.Occupancy of
30%was assumed in the original budget and at midyear is now at 50.7%.The projection is based on first
half tax receipts.The new estimate is lower than 2019-20 by 29%and lower than 2018-19 by 44%based
on the first half. Occupancy was 81.4% for the first half of 2019-20 .
In November 2019,the voters passed Measure H which increased the Transient Occupancy Tax from
12% to 14%, effective January 1, 2020.

Utility User Tax
The estimate for Utility User Tax (UUT)revenue is reduced by 3%from the original budget,consistent
with 2019-20 revenue.Revenue for the first half is within 1%of 2019-20.The largest reductions for the
first half continue to be cellular and cable due to price reductions,bundling,and transfers to non-taxed
services.
Other Tax
This category increased 20.8%primarily due to higher than expected revenue for business
licenses.A revenue decrease that was anticipated in the budget did not transpire.The new budget
estimate for business licenses is still lower than 2019-20 by 6%.
Frontier Cable Franchise Fees are being revised down 31% based on the first half.

Licenses and Permits
This category is down by less than 1%.
Fines and Forfeitures
The largest change is in this category,an increase of $945,267 or 91.5%.The original budget
assumed parking fines would decrease 56%due to cessation of street sweeping and issuance of
other citations.Ultimately the street sweeping had to be resumed for purposes of trash collection.
Estimated revenue is still 4% less than 2019-20 and 10% less than 2018-19.
Use of Money and Property
This category is down by 28.3%primarily due to revenue reductions in Community Center rentals,
theatre and special events for a total amount of $123,720.Interest income is revised down 32%or
$382,818 overall based on declining interest rates.The General Fund reduction is ($129,456)with
a new estimate of $92,171.Adjustments to interest are made between funds according to the
actual cash balances for each fund.
Intergovernmental/State
Estimated reimbursements for the category were decreased $16,615,primarily due to a decrease
in Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST)reimbursement to reflect postponed and
cancelled trainings due to COVID-19.
Current Service Charges
User fees or service charges are up 7.5%.There are many accounts in this category,some increase and
some decrease.Parking demand was higher than anticipated overall except for the Parking Structure,
which was closed for a longer period of time than other parking lots.The most notable revisions are
below,highlights of which include:some building-related revenue increasing,recreation programs other
than contract classes not offered due to COVID-19,fewer ambulance transports,and no need for special
event security.

Other Revenue
The increase in this category is primarily due to funds received in the General Miscellaneous,
Reimbursement/Refund and Contribution (donations)accounts.No revenue is assumed in the original
budget for these revenue sources.Appropriations have already been added where a donation is intended
to be spent.
ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS
(Attachment 2)
Additional appropriations are shown on the attached spreadsheet,2020-21 Additional Appropriations
Report.While overall appropriations in the General Fund increased,there are several reductions related
to Community Resources programs and Crossing Guard Services impacted by COVID-19.
Several new grants have been awarded to the City.Revenue estimates have been adjusted and
additional appropriations have been requested accordingly.
Several Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs)have been reduced due to 2019-20 actual revenue being
lower than originally estimated in several funds.Proposition A,C,Measure M Transit Funds,Measure R
Transportation Funds,and Measure W Clean Water Funds are all sales tax based and are expected to
decrease.Additional funding has been added to two CIPs from the Capital Improvement Fund and a new
project,CIP 603 South Park Slope and Irrigation Repairs,was created to address sloped areas around
the playground area at South Park.
RESULT OF CHANGES
As a result of changes to estimated revenue,appropriation revisions,General Plan Maintenance Fees,
and the Frontier PEG Grant, a balance of $1,911,710 is available in the General Fund.
Staff recommends that those funds be used in the following manner:
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/5/2021Page 9 of 13

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0122
·Assign additional funds of $88,294 from the balance available in the General Fund to bring the
Contingency up to the goal amount of 16% of General Fund operating appropriations.
·Assign the remaining available balance of $1,823,416,for the 2021-22 Budget.Due to the ongoing
uncertainties from COVID-19 and the previous measures taken to balance the 2020-21 Budget,
staff recommends reserving the available balance for the 2021-22 Budget process,at which time it
will be determined if the funds need to remain in the General Fund or should transfer to meet
funding goals, in accordance with the financial policies listed below.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City Council’s adopted fund balance policies are:
General Fund
Any funds remaining unspent at year-end in the General Fund transfer equally to the Contingency
Balance,Insurance Fund,Equipment Replacement Fund,the Capital Improvement Fund,and
Capital Facility Reserve.The City Council may change these transfers annually as necessary.For
2019-20,the unspent funds of $1,751,688 remained in the General Fund and are currently
unassigned.Due to the ongoing budget implications from COVID-19,staff recommends
reserving the funds in the General Fund along with the funds remaining from the Midyear
Budget adjustments.Once the 2021-22 Budget estimates are reviewed,recommendations
will be made regarding the 2019-20 unspent funds and any unappropriated funds from 2020
-21. Use of these funds will be determined in conjunction with the 2021-21 budget requests.
Contingency Balance
The goal is to maintain an amount equal to 16%of the General Fund operating appropriations to
be used in the event of economic uncertainties or unforeseen emergencies.
Compensated Absences Balance
The goal is to maintain 25%of the funding needed for accrued liabilities for employee vacation,
sick, and compensatory time.
Retirement Rate Stabilization Balance
These funds were set aside in the 2004-05 Budget for use during times of rate volatility.The 2018-
19 Budget approved that the existing balance of $1 million be used for the creation of a retirement
trust however that action is on hold pending COVID-19. The current balance is $1,021,575.
Insurance Fund
The goal is to maintain $3,000,000 in net position for claims above recorded claims liabilities or

As shown in the Over/(Under)Goal Amount column,the Contingency Balance goal is at the target
amount after the recommended changes.Due to the annual adjustment to the claims liabilities and
additional appropriations recommended at Midyear for litigation,unemployment and insurance premiums,
the balance in the Insurance Fund is currently under the $3,000,000 goal.Claims liabilities will be
adjusted in the Insurance Fund at year end based on actuarial reports typically received in May for
Worker’s Compensation and General Liability Claims.The Equipment Replacement Fund (ERF)is also
under the goal amount at this time.Fund balances will be evaluated again with the 2021-22 Budget and a
recommendation made for the Insurance Fund and ERF balance at that time.As previously noted,a
recommendation for the year end transfer of unspent funds will also be evaluated during the 2021-22

UPCOMING/ONGOING CHALLENGES
With approval of the Midyear changes by the City Council,staff will move forward with preparation of the
2021-22 Budget.Due to the ongoing uncertainty due to COVID-19,budget projections continue to be
challenging.
As always, staff will remain conservative in its approach to the budget process for next year.
2021-22 BUDGET WORKSHOP
The Capital Improvement Plan Study Session is planned for April 21,2021.The Budget Study Session is
scheduled for May 27, 2021 at 6:00 pm, with adoption planned for June 8, 2021.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s long-range planning document,was adopted by the City Council in August
2017,and envisions a future where “Hermosa Beach is the small town others aspire to be;a place where
our beach culture,strong sense of community,and commitment to sustainability intersect.”One of the
guiding principles to achieve the vision is to make decisions and take actions that help contribute to the
City’s economic and fiscal stability.
A focus of the Governance chapter in the General Plan is to ensure that decision-making and leadership
is conducted in an ethical,transparent,and innovative manner that reflects community values.Goal 1 of
the Governance chapter speaks to maintaining a high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision
-making process.
Other relevant General Plan policies are listed below:
Infrastructure
·1.2 Priority investments.Use City Council established priorities and the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) to identify and allocate funding for projects identified in the infrastructure plan.
Public Safety
·5.2 High level of response.Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and
provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community.
Fiscal Impact:
The Midyear budget revisions increase revenue estimates in the General Fund by $1,773,914 and
appropriations by $237,769.The Contingency (Rainy Day Fund)meets the 16%funding goal.The

Item: a. REPORT 21-0122 MIDYEAR BUDGET REVIEW 2020-21 (Finance Director Viki
Copeland)
eComment: Overall it looks like we are in good shape as it relates to revenues. I hope we do not
see a backlash yet from the economic downturn. It would greatly help if the budget was more
transparent and easier for residents to understand. While I understand why it is needed, the
continual movement of funds between accounts is puzzling. Nevertheless, I have a few
observations. The est. revenues is 37,728,045. But one should be able to easily find the est.
expenditures. To compare. The estimated revenue increase of 4.9% is $1,773,914. This is over
the 2020-21 Budget, but is still 3.5% below 2019-20 actual revenue and 10% below 2018-19
actual revenue. This does not follow. It would help if this was explained further? And the TOT is
lower than 2019-20 by 29% and lower than 2018-19 by 44%., yet states that it is 27.5% higher
than budget. Details would be helpful on this as well. I have provided Ms Copeland with more
details on some issues, so she is better to address this at the meeting.

REPORT 21-0131
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 9, 2021
AGREEMENT FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
(Chief of Police Paul LeBaron)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council discuss and provide direction regarding a proposed amendment to
the existing agreement with Willdan Engineering (“Willdan”)for pandemic related code enforcement
services.The proposed amendment would provide an additional $50,000 in funding and establish a
new agreement termination date of December 31, 2021.
Executive Summary:
The City Manager/Director of Emergency Services entered into an agreement for services with
Willdan on August 4,2020,to provide code enforcement services related to the pandemic.The code
enforcement officers provided by Willdan have been instructed to enforce Ordinance No.20-1415U,
which established fines for failing to wear a face covering in specified areas of the City.The
agreement with Willdan provides for a not to exceed amount $125,000,which is expected to be
exhausted on approximately March 28, 2021.
Background:
Ordinance No.20-1415U was adopted by Council on July 28,2020,and established administrative
fines of $100,$200,and $500,for failure to wear face coverings while using the sidewalks of
specified areas of Hermosa Avenue,Pier Avenue,Pier Plaza,the Strand,as well as all City parks
and beach.
Willdan staff was originally assigned to the City four days a week,with one team on weekdays and
two teams on weekend days.The first teams were deployed August 8,2020.Between August 8th and
November 10th,Willdan staff issued more than 600 citations and distributed approximately 1,500
masks. A total of 88 citations have been contested.
During the November 10th Council meeting,City staff provided an oral report and noted an increased
level of compliance with the urgency ordinance,particularly as downtown businesses began using
more robust reservation systems.The Willdan staff scheduling was subsequently paused.Following
concerns raised by the community and the possibility of virus spread during the holidays,Willdan

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0131
staff was scheduled to return to enforcement activities on November 27th.
The Willdan staff is currently scheduled during the weekends and is primarily directed to the areas of
greatest concern,such as Pier Plaza and the Strand.At this time,one team per weekend day are
assigned to the City,and each team contacts approximately 100-175 individuals a day to remind
them to wear a mask.Staffing hours have been adjusted as seasonal sunset patterns have changed.
While every effort is made to maintain consistent staffing with the same Willdan staff members
assigned to the City,there is no guarantee of hours for the Willdan staff,and any unspent funds
remain the property of the City when the agreement sunsets.
The current agreement with Willdan includes a not to exceed amount of $125,000 and sunsets June
30,2021.The per hour,per staff fee is $65,and staffing one team per day costs the City $1,040,with
each weekend costing $2,080.The per hour fee is not the amount paid directly to the Willdan staff,
but the amount paid to Willdan for all associated costs,including contract administration,payroll,
required state and federal payroll taxes and any mandatory old-age,survivors,and disability
insurance program contributions.As of March 9,2021,the contract will have an approximate balance
remaining of $8,000.
Discussion:
The presence of Willdan staff on weekends in high visibility locations does appear to encourage the
use of face coverings by the public.While recent surges in hospitalizations and the appearance of
COVID-19 variants may have served to convince a larger number of individuals to wear face
coverings,the activity reports of the Willdan staff clearly indicate that their presence is valuable in
ensuring the public remains vigilant in wearing face coverings.Willdan staff find that most individuals
now carry face coverings on their person,but still contact approximately 100 individuals per day to
remind them to utilize their face covering appropriately.The majority of face coverings distributed by
Willdan staff are now to individuals that have a soiled face covering due to vigorous outdoor activity
or beach sand and request a clean face covering.
The remaining agreement balance is sufficient to continue staffing one Willdan team each weekend
day through approximately March 28,2021.Any extension of the existing agreement will still provide
scheduling flexibility and allow the City to engage with Willdan project managers to increase staffing
or reduce staffing. Any unspent funds remain the property of the City when the agreement sunsets.
The following two alternatives are presented for Council consideration.Staff recommends that
Council approve Alternative 2:
Alternative 1:Not extend the agreement with Willdan.The last day of service is anticipated to be
March 28,2021.There are currently no City staff available to perform the service that Willdan staff
provide.
Alternative 2:Amend the existing agreement to provide an additional $50,000 in funding
(establishing a new not to exceed amount of $175,000)and extend the agreement termination date
through December 31,2021.This amendment would provide an additional 48 days of service.Based

REPORT 21-0131
through December 31,2021.This amendment would provide an additional 48 days of service.Based
upon the current scheduling calendar,it is anticipated that this alternative would allow the Willdan
staff to be scheduled through approximately September 12, 2021.

ORDINANCE NO. 20-1415U
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING LOCAL ZONING TO
PERMIT SPECIFIED BUSINESSES TO OPERATE OUTDOORS, PERMIT
CERTAIN HOME OCCUPATIONS TO OPERATE WITHOUT A
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOCATION AND REQUIRE MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC TO WEAR A FACE COVERING DURING THE COVID-19
CRISIS, AND SETTING FORTH THE FACTS CONSTITUTING SUCH
URGENCY
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. On March 15, 2020, City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) Mayor Mary Campbell declared
a local emergency to ensure an effective City response to a respiratory disease which
has been named “COVID-19.” At a special meeting on March 16, 2020, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 20-7230, approving and confirming the declaration of
emergency.
B. On March 19, 2020, the Governor of the State of California, issued Executive Order N-
33-20, an Order of the State Public Health Officer ordering all individuals living in
California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain
continuity of operations of outlined federal critical infrastructure sectors.
C. Evidence in late April and early May demonstrated that state and local orders slowed
the increase of community transfer of the disease by limiting interactions amongst
people. As a result, on May 7, 2020, Governor Newsom, announced a four-staged
framework, titled “Resilience Roadmap” that was intended to guide the state’s gradual
modification of its Safer at Home Order to reopen California. The state also issued
sector specific guidance to help specified businesses reopen under new restrictions,
which require businesses to, among other things, implement social distancing
measures.
D. In line with the State’s health guidance, the Los Angeles County Public Health Officer
issued a revised order on May 13, 2020 entitled “Continuation of Safer at Home Order
that begins to move the County of Los Angeles into Stage 2 of the County’s Roadmap
to Recovery,” that authorized some limited retail and outdoor recreation venues to
reopen subject to among other things, social distancing measures to prevent the further
spread of COVID-19. The Order was updated again on May 26th, May 29th, June 11th
and June 18th, 2020 to continue to allow the gradual reopening of additional sectors
including bars, hair salons, personal care services, gyms and fitness facilities subject to
social distancing measures.
E. The May 29th Order for example, permitted restaurants and food facilities to remain
open and offer limited dine-in seating. The Order also encouraged restaurants to

expand outdoor seating where possible in compliance with local zoning codes to
comply with social distancing requirements.
F. On June 18, 2020, Governor Newsom along with the State Health Officer released
mandatory health guidance that requires Californians, subject to limited exceptions to
wear face coverings when outside the home. In line with the mandatory guidance, the
Los Angeles County Health Officer issued a revised order on the same date to require
all persons to wear a face covering over both the nose and mouth whenever they leave
their place of residence and are or can be in contact with or walking near or past others
who are non-household members in both public and private places whether indoors or
outdoors. According to State and County Health officials, wearing face coverings
reduces the risk of transmission to others who do not have symptoms and do not know
that they’re infected.
G. To assist in the economic recovery of local businesses and restaurants, on May 26,
2020, the City Manager issued Executive No. 2020-05 to temporarily suspend City of
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Sections 17.26.050 (B), (C) and 17.44.030 regarding
off-street parking requirements for commercial and business uses. Many surrounding
cities, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Long Beach also implemented similar
rules and regulations to assist in the economic recovery of these businesses during the
COVID-19 crisis.
H. Since that time, the State and County have seen a sharp increase in confirmed COVID-
19 cases and hospitalizations, and the timing of these increases is in line with the
reopening of “high risk” businesses where individuals may congregate with members
who are not part of the same household and remove their face coverings to eat and
drink. As a result, the County Health Officer issued a revised Order on July 1, 2020 to
backtrack on the County’s gradual reopening to prohibit indoor dining and order the
immediate closure of bars, wineries and winery tasting rooms.
I. On July 13, 2020, the State Public Health Officer issued a state-wide order to require
the immediate closure of: (1) indoor and outdoor operations of bars, pubs, brewpubs
and breweries; and (2) indoor operation of restaurant dining, movie theatres, zoos,
museums, cardrooms, wineries and tasting rooms. The order also imposes more
stringent requirements on specified counties, including Los Angeles County that have
appeared on the State’s Monitoring List for three consecutive days to order the
immediate closure of indoor operations of the following sectors: gyms and fitness
facilities, places of worship, indoor protests, offices for non-critical infrastructure
sectors, personal care establishments, hair salons, barbershops, and malls.
J. The following day, on July 14, 2020, the County Health Officer issued a revised Order
to coincide with Governor’s July 13th Order and requiring the closure of indoor
operations of the following establishments: malls, shopping centers, hair salons,
barbershops, fitness facilities, and personal care establishments.
K. Under the recent State and County Health Orders, local gyms, fitness centers, hair
salons, barbershops, and personal care establishments that are unable to shift their
operations outdoors have been forced to shut down for the second time during the

COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these businesses were struggling to financially recover
following the first mandatory closure in March, and some may not be able to survive a
second closure. This Order is intended to assist the economic recovery of these
establishments and to permit them to continue to operate outdoors under State and
County Health Orders by temporarily suspending local zoning regulations during the
COVIID-19 crisis.
L. California Business and Professions Code section 7317 requires that all barbershops,
hair salons and cosmetology services including specified personal care services, must
be performed in a licensed establishment. This Ordinance is further intended to permit
the outdoor operation of these establishments as may be permitted by the State Board
of Barbering and Cosmetology.
M. On July 17, 2020, the City Manager issued Executive Order No. 2020-09 to
temporarily suspend specified City of Hermosa Beach zoning regulations to permit
gyms and fitness facilities to operate outdoors. The Order also permitted hair salons
and barbershops to operate outdoors as permitted by the State Board of Barbering and
Cosmetology.
N. To assist in the safe outdoor operation of hair salons, barbershops, and personal care
establishments, on July 20, 2020, Governor Newsom along with the State Health
Officer released mandatory guidance on the safe outdoor operation of these
establishments as permitted under its July 13th Order. Consistent with this updated
State Guidance, the County Health Officer also updated its reopening protocol for
personal care establishments, hair salons and barbershops in Appendices R and H of its
order, respectively.
O. As a result of State and County Stay-At-Home Orders, all non-essential office work
spaces were ordered to close in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. City of
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code section 17.08.020(D)(14) prohibits professional
offices in residential zones, that include but are not limited to: the healing arts, law,
accounting, real estate, clergy, insurance and similar professional or semi-professional
offices, unless the person engaged in such home occupation maintains a principal
licensed office in an area permitting such activity as a principal use. Section
17.08.020(D)(14) clearly impedes on these businesses’ ability to continue their home
occupations in light of State and County Stay-At-Home-Orders that have forced them
to close their commercial office spaces.
P. This Ordinance is necessary to supplement the City Manager’s Executive Order No.
2020-09, to (1) temporarily suspend City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Sections
17.26.050(B), 17.44.030, 17.38.550(B) and 17.08.020(D)(14) regarding uses permitted
within commercial zones, off-street parking requirements for commercial and business
use, and home occupation permits to the extent they conflict with this Ordinance.
Q. This Ordinance also adopts additional measures to require members of the public to
wear face coverings whenever they leave their place of residence.

R. This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Government Code section 36937, for the
preservation of the public peace, health, and safety of residents living within the City,
and finds urgency to approve this Ordinance immediately based on the facts described
herein and detailed in the staff report.
SECTION 2. The provisions of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Sections 17.26.050 (B),
17.44.030, 17.38.550(B) and 17.08.020(D)(14) regarding uses permitted within commercial zones,
off-street parking requirements for commercial and business uses within commercial zones, and
home occupation permits are hereby temporarily suspended, to the extent they conflict with this
Ordinance, to allow for the implementation of items A and B below on a temporary basis during the
term of the City, State and Los Angeles County COVID-19 emergency orders:
A. Gyms, fitness centers, hair salons, barbershops and personal care establishments (to the
extent permitted by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology) may operate
outdoors to assist in their economic recovery in accordance with the “Outdoor
Commercial Uses Operational Standards” attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by reference.
B. Consistent with the Los Angeles County Health Officer Reopening Protocol for
Personal Care Establishment in Appendix R, “personal care services” shall include:
nail salons, tanning salons, esthetician, skin care, cosmetology services and massage
therapy (in a non-healthcare setting). Electrology, tattooing, microblading, permanent
make-up and piercing may not operate outdoors because they are invasive procedures
that require a controlled hygienic environment to be performed safely. Mobile or in-
home personal care services are not allowed.
C. Professional offices, including but not limited to the healing arts, law, accounting, real
estate, clergy, insurance and similar professional or semiprofessional offices may render
their services from their residence with a home occupation permit regardless if they
comply with Municipal Code section 17.08.020(D)(14), to allow them to continue to
operate and pursue their livelihoods while complying with California and Los Angeles
County Health orders in response to COVID-19.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of
this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.
SECTION 6. Environmental Review. The City Council finds that adoption and
implementation of this ordinance is not a “project” for purposes of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), as that term is defined by CEQA guidelines (Guidelines) sections 15061(b)(3),
and 15378(b)(5). The effect of the proposed amendment will be to maintain the status quo. No new
development will result from the proposed action. No impact to the physical environment will result.
The City Council also alternatively finds that the adoption and implementation of this ordinance is
exempt from the provisions of CEQA as an administrative activity by the City of Hermosa Beach,
in furtherance of its police power, that will not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the
environment, per sections 15061(b)(3), and 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA , Guidelines, as well as CEQA
Guidelines section 15064(e) (economic regulations).
SECTION 7. Urgency Declaration; Effective Date. The City Council finds and declares that
the adoption and implementation of this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation and
protection of the public peace, health and safety as detailed above by the City, pursuant to
Government Code section 36937. As a result of State and County stay at home orders, local gyms,
fitness facilities, hair salons and barbershops were forced to close. The rapid, immediate and
unexpected loss of revenue following the first wave of mandatory closures was devastating to these
local businesses. Many of these businesses are still struggling to financially recover, and some may
not be able to survive a second closure. Additionally, home occupations that render certain
professional services, are unable to pursue their livelihoods while complying with local zoning
regulations and State and County health orders. The recent increase in confirmed cases and
hospitalizations demonstrates how easily and rapidly the disease can spread form person-to person.
By requiring members of the public to wear face coverings while outside of their places of residence
helps reduce the risk of community transfer of the disease. This Ordinance is intended to assist the
economic recovery of these establishments and to permit them to continue to operate under State
and County health orders by temporarily suspending specified local zoning regulations during the
COVIID-19 crisis. This Ordinance is also conducive to the public health because it requires
businesses to follow the directives of State and County public health officials to prevent the further
spread of the disease. This Ordinance must be passed by four-fifths of the City Council and shall
take effect immediately after passage.
SECTION 8. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance and shall cause the same, or the summary thereof, to be published or posted in the manner
required by law.

REPORT 21-0157
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 9, 2021
A LETTER REGARDING LAX AIRFIELD AND TERMINAL MODERNIZATION PROJECT
AND DRAFT EIR
(Environmental Programs Manager Douglas Krauss)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approve a letter detailing the City’s response to the LAX Airfield and
Terminal Modernization Project draft EIR and authorize the Mayor to sign it.
Executive Summary:
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)is moving forward with a modernization and expansion plan for
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).In response to these plans,Council directed staff to craft a
letter detailing its response to the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Background:
LAWA has unveiled plans and a draft EIR for modernization and expansion at LAX including,but not
limited to a new terminal east of Sepulveda Boulevard,a new concourse,and a number of airfield
improvements.Staff has been in discussion with neighboring agencies about the issue and seeks
Council’s final direction on a possible response. Comments on the draft EIR are due March 15, 2021.
Discussion:
The proposed modernization and expansion plan for LAX is a $6 billion project that will add over 2
million square feet of new buildings and a number of changes to the airfield. It will also add a people
mover and the first terminal east of Sepulveda Boulevard. The City of El Segundo is drafting a
detailed letter expressing their concerns with the impacts of the project on the area and the perceived
inadequacy of the project’s mitigation plans. El Segundo contends there are flaws with LAWA’s
argument that this project is simply an “accommodation” of inevitable growth as opposed to
“inducing” more growth. El Segundo response to the draft EIR will address these concerns as well as
their contention that additional traffic mitigations should be made.
Staff has been in contact with staff from other local agencies about their own concerns and potential
responses. This includes communications with the cities of El Segundo and Manhattan Beach as well

REPORT 21-0157
as the South Bay Cities Council of Governments.
At its February 23, 2021 meeting, Council heard a presentation from LAWA about the scope of the
project and its draft EIR. At this same meeting, staff brought forth an item seeking direction from
Council on a possible response letter. Council discussed this item and directed staff to speak with the
City of El Segundo about cooperating with their ongoing efforts to draft a response and bring back a
draft letter for Council review at this March 9 meeting. Attached is a draft letter that captures many of
the concerns Council raised as well as those of many of our neighboring agencies. It has been
reviewed by the City Attorney to ensure the City has the option to challenge the adequacy of the Final
EIR on the issues raised in the letter, if the City is not satisfied that they have been addressed in the
Final EIR.
