This full Packet does not contain additions, modifications, or supplementals that have been added after the first posting of the 'Living' agenda unless indicated here.
To prevent time downloading, and re-downloading, you might download this single

The agenda-items page number table below provides the starting page of each item in this full contiguous packet PDF file. To better utilize these page numbers, note that the
Adobe Acrobat reader has a feature to display page thumb-nails down the left edge of
your screen. With the page-thumbnails displayed you may click on a page's thumb-
nail to immediately move to the item's starting page directly.
Be aware, that as this full packet may include MINUTES of prior meetings, if searching

Dear City Council:
Is it not time that we as a city come together and recognize the complete disaster that the one
lane on Pier Ave and Hermosa Ave has become? Did we not learn the last time
we did this on upper Pier? My guess is that none of you even lived in the city the last time we
did this and thusly you would simply have no idea what a disaster it was last time. Well, the
evidence is there and it’s only going to get worse as summer approaches.
To add insult to injury a bike lane was installed. A bike lane that is seldom used. As I recall the
council bypassed the public works commission, did no studies (that you are so fond of), and just
did it. It’s a mess. It is only a matter of time before the Coastal Commission steps in and
regrading all the parking places that have been removed.
Please return our Pier Ave and Hermosa Ave now. See some of the photos and comments
below. Summer is coming and there is time to admit the mistake like we did last time and
correct this mess.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885
RE: Hermosa Beach Police Department History of Retaliation
Dear Councilwoman Armato:
Thank you for the assistance in obtaining the independent investigation invoices totaling $5856.98 for my personnel
complaint against LT. . (Exhibit A.). For the record, I filed the complaints at his request.
During the January 9, 2018 City Council meeting, I confronted LT. , and asked why he did not return my email
inquiring into his false statements in the October 18, 2017 Easy Reader News article. Furthermore, I asked him does a
detective usually not interview the victim of a violent crime. He replied, no. I followed up as to why then he stated,
“there was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case” to the press. LT. response was to file a
complaint. Therefore, the $5856.98 of taxpayer dollars are on him.
However, when this whole Hermosa Beach Police Department corruption saga is exposed, I believe it will cost the City
a lot more than $6k. Especially since Police Chief , ‘exonerated’ LT. in making false statements
about me first to the press and second to the FBI. First to cover up police misconduct, and second to retaliate for
reporting the police misconduct. Currently, it appears the slandering will continue until I clear my name.
I do not believe my situation is an isolated incident. Based on the number of lawsuits by HBPD police officers over the
years, there is the appearance of disfunction within the department. My February 16, 2021 letter (Link) provided
insight into former HBPD Police Chief , including the infamous October 1999, New Times article,
“Spidergate,” detailing allegations of personal vendettas. Upon reviewing the lawsuits by former HBPD police officers,
this professional misconduct extends to her Command Staff as well.
I am providing two cases to sustain my allegation there is a pattern and practice of retaliation within the Hermosa
Beach Police Department. First, a current case of vs. City of Hermosa Beach. (Exhibit B.). Second, one
of the most high-profile cases, vs. City of Hermosa Beach. (Exhibit C.) Both police officers allege false
statements were made about them, and both were retaliated for reporting misconduct. As I am a victim of police
misconduct and retaliation, I can relate to both these cases. Except in my case, I am an innocent civilian.
The current situation is that LT. is holding me down on the ground, while LT. has his knee to my neck,
and Chief is just watching. I have called out to the City for help, as 'I can't breathe,' but the City has
made the situation much worst by attempting to prosecute me criminally, and report false allegations to the FBI.
At what point will the City take this situation seriously?
Very respectfully,
Matt McCool

Hermosa Beach City Clerk, Eduardo Sarmiento (via email)
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
POBRA, (2) declaratory relief, and (3) Labor Code §1102.5. Plaintiff alleges that he is a sworn police
officer with the HB Police Department. During his career, he has not been subject to any disciplinary
actions and was assigned as a Field Training Officer and was on the Acting Watch Commander list.
Complaint, ¶1. Plaintiff completed and passed all relevant promotional examinations and was
promoted to the position of Police Sergeant by now retired Chief , on April 1, 2018. Id.,
¶2. During his time as a Sergeant, he performed in a manner that generally met standards and was
continually given special assignments. Id., ¶3. During the promotional process, plaintiff reported false
statements made by Lt. to Chief and his immediate supervisor, the FTO
Sergeant. Thereafter, Lt. and Captain orchestrated actions to circumvent
Chief promotional decision and remove plaintiff from his sergeant position. Id., ¶4.
Plaintiff further alleges that and immediately began treating plaintiff differently from
other probationary sergeants. For example, while promotional probationary periods usually include
quarterly evaluations, plaintiff’s performance was either so good that they did not see the need to
conduct a written evaluation of him, or they purposely held the first evaluation until ninety days after
it was due in order to generate a false evaluation. Even when he was presented with the evaluation,
held it for 40 days after it was written so that plaintiff would not have the opportunity to
challenge and/or correct any claimed deficiencies. Id., ¶6. In December 2018, Lt. and
presented plaintiff with a second evaluation that covered both the second and third
quarter of his promotional probationary period. The evaluation was manufactured and included false
information, which was then used as a basis to place plaintiff on a “Performance Improvement Plan”
(“PIP”). Id., ¶8. Plaintiff subsequently submitted a four-page rebuttal to the two quarter evaluation.
Id., ¶10.
Plaintiff also alleges that while the PIP would normally result in regular meeting between the
supervisor and subject officer, plaintiff did not have such meeting. Rather, plaintiff did self-
assessments on the PIP. indicated that she was impressed with plaintiff’s performance and
told him to do a great job. Id., ¶11. She subsequently met with plaintiff to recommend that he
apologize to , which he did. rejected the apology. Id., ¶12. On March 11, 2019,
without any prior approval and without any apparent authority, demoted plaintiff back to
the rank of officer. Id., ¶13. The punitive action and/or denial of promotion was for reasons other than
merit, and plaintiff was not afforded an opportunity for administrative appeal. Id., ¶14. also
placed him on paid administrative leave for two days, ordering him to leave immediately. Id., ¶15.
The following day, removed plaintiff form the Acting Watch Commander list, reducing
plaintiff’s salary even though it is believed that had allowed officers with less seniority than
plaintiff and at least one officer that was under criminal investigation by the FBI to serve in the Acting
Watch Commander capacity. Id., ¶16.
Plaintiff also alleges that he filed formal complaints. Id., ¶20. In August 2019, the City Manager for
the City of Hermosa Beach initiated an administrative investigation of plaintiff’s complaints, but
instead of hiring a fair and impartial investigator, the City hired the law firm of Best, Best & Krieger to
conduct the investigation. This firm employs the City Attorney, who provides legal advice to the city.
Id., ¶21.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
Under CCP §598, “[t]he court may, when the convenience of witnesses, the ends of justice, or the
economy and efficiency of handling the litigation would be promoted thereby, on motion of a party,
after notice and hearing, make an order . . . that the trial of any issue or any part thereof shall
precede the trial of any other issue or any part thereof in the case . . . .”
Under CCP §1048(b), “[t]he court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, or when
separate trials will be conducive to expedition and economy, may order a separate trial of any cause
of action . . . or of any separate issue or of any number of causes of action or issues.”
“Trial courts generally have the inherent power to stay proceedings in the interest of justice and to
promote judicial efficiency.” Frieberg v. City of Mission Viejo (1995) 33 Cal. App. 4th 1484, 1489.
DISCUSSION
Under CCP §§598 and 1048, defendants request that the court (1) bifurcate plaintiff’s petition for writ
of mandate under CCP §1085 and causes of action under the Public Safety Officer’s Procedural Bill
of Rights Act (“POBR”) from plaintiff’s Labor Code §1102.5 claim; and (2) stay proceedings related
to plaintiff’s Labor Code §1102.5 claim until completion of the writ and POBR proceedings.
As defendants argue, plaintiff’s writ petition and POBR claims must be decided by the court, not a
jury. See Stafford v. Attending Staff Assn. of LAC + USC Medical Center (2019) 41 Cal. App. 5th
629, 636 (“A trial court reviews an administrative action under section 1085 ‘to determine whether
the agency’s action was arbitrary, capricious, or entirely lacking in evidentiary support, contrary to
established public policy, unlawful, procedurally unfair, or whether the agency failed to follow the
procedure and give the notices the law requires.’”) (citation omitted); Gales v. Superior Court (1996)
47 Cal. App. 4th 1596, 1602 (“the determination of whether a violation of [POBR] has occurred must
be made by the court rather than a jury, and must be made in connection with a request for
injunctive relief, or in connection with a proceeding of a like nature so as to allow the superior court
to issue an order ‘to remedy the violation and to prevent future violations of a like or similar nature.’
Nothing contained within section 3309.5 suggests that a police officer may . . . file a civil action
seeking a legal remedy of damages (compensatory and punitive) for past injuries, and have a jury
determine whether a violation of the Act occurred, and whether the administrative decision imposing
discipline should be upheld.”).
Thus, the court finds that bifurcation is warranted.
As to a stay of the Labor Code §1102.5 cause of action, in their request, defendants did not specify
what would be stayed. In any event, the court finds that there is no basis for a stay of the Labor
Code §1102.5 cause of action.
The motion is GRANTED as to bifurcation and DENIED as to a stay.
Defendants are ordered to give notice of the court’s ruling.

actions can add up to big changes in protecting the environment. He emphasized how
City of Hermosa Beach has used over 300 million gallons of recycled water at parks and
public areas to conserve water and protect the environment. He then asked Hermosa
residents to join him – and the City – in taking the pledge to personally conserve water.
Mayor Massey then provided a reminder that ballots for the upcoming special election on
May 11, 2021 will be going out to every Hermosa Beach registered voter beginning April

Meeting)
VIII. CITY MANAGER REPORTS
City Manager Lowenthal began by providing an update on COVID-19. She began by
sharing good news on the transition into the less restrictive red tier in the State’s
Blueprint for a Safer Economy. As a result of these changes, the City worked with the
volleyball community to get the volleyball nets restored to the commercial zone on the
beach last Thursday for recreational use. The Los Angeles County Department of
Beaches and Harbors removed the nets last year in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. The City posted the Public Health Officer’s rules for playing safely, and
everyone is asked to follow those rules to prevent the virus spread and keep volleyball
courts open. She also shared that Junior Guards will be offered again this summer.
There will be limits on the number of young people who can participate. Ms. Lowenthal
then asked all residents to continue following Public Health’s rules by wearing a face
covering and keep at least 6 feet of physical distance from people who are not members
of your household.
City Manager Lowenthal then shared the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Health update and guidance for sports leagues. Earlier guidance permitted competitions
between two teams engaged in outdoor sports. The state does not yet allow tournament
play – which involves more than two teams. The updated guidance that was issued on
Friday March 19, 2021 clarified testing requirements for competitions for specific sports,
such as football, rugby and water polo. The guidance also stated that COVID-19 testing
no longer has to be done within 24 hours prior to a competition. Public Health
determined that weekly testing of teams is adequate to meet all sport -related testing
requirements. Consistent with state guidance, Public Health also permits indoor sports
to engage in indoor activities, including training, conditioning, contact practice and
competition. But Public Health requires the implementation and adherence to state
requirements. These include regular testing, and development and implementation of a
Return to Play Safety Plan and a Site-Specific Safety Plan. Public Health requires that
these indoor sports activities limit the number of participants to 10% of indoor
occupancy for the facility. Public Health also said that observers are not permitted for
any youth or adult indoor sports activities, including competitions.
As a result of the changes in COVID-19 restrictions, the City is also moving ahead with
getting local basketball courts reopened this week. The Public Health requirements are
similar to those for volleyball. Public Health limits participants to no more than 15 people
from up to 3 households. It also requires face coverings while playing.

X. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. UPDATES FROM CITY COUNCIL AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEES
AND STANDING COMMITTEE DELEGATES/ALTERNATES
Councilmember Armato provided a brief report on legislative action of the legislative
committee of the California Contract Cities Association. The committee took the position
of oppose unless amended on SB6 the Neighborhood Homes Act, proposed by Senator
Caballero. The act establishes housing as an allowable use on any parcel zone for
office or commercial retail use. The committee also took a position of oppose unless
amended on SB9, which relates to housing development approvals, proposed by
Senator Pro Tem Attkins. SB9 would require local government to ministerially approve
housing development pertaining to residential units in a single-family residential zone.
Additionally, the measure would require local governments to ministerially approve
urban lot splits. The committee took the position of support on SB15, which relates to
housing development: incentives: rezoning of idle retail sites, proposed by Senator
Portantino. SB15 would require the State to provide incentives in the form of grants to
local governments that rezone idle sites used for big box retailers or commercial
shopping centers, to instead allow the development of housing, and supporting and
sponsoring SB809 proposed by Senator Allen. SB809 relates to natural resources and
has changed in form since Councilmember Armato’s last report to the City Council.
SB809 has dropped the arm of requiring cities to participate in a regional housing trust.
Instead, a multi-jurisdictional regional agreement that would authorize the city or county
to satisfy part of its requirement to identify zones suitable for residential development by
adopting and implementing a multi-jurisdictional regional agreement. The bill would
require the agreement to clearly establish the jurisdiction that is contributing suitable
land for residential development and the jurisdiction or jurisdictions that are contributing
funding for that development. The bill would require that a multijurisdictional regional
agreement be between two or more cities or counties that are located within the same
county or within adjacent counties.
Mayor Pro Detoy provided an update from the monthly meeting of the Los Angeles
County Sanitation District. He shared promising news that for the first time since the
beginning of the pandemic, there were no detectable traces of COVID-19 in the
wastewater. He added that the County Sanitation District is also taking proactive steps
to test for any variants of the COVID-19 virus in the wastewater.

REPORT 21-0207
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of April 13, 2021
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION
OF A REPORT FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS
WITHIN THE HERMOSA BEACH LANDSCAPING AND
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT DURING FY 2021-2022
(Public Works Director Marnell Gibson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the preparation of a report
for the annual levy of assessments within the Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting
District during Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
Executive Summary:
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District (District)collects funds for the
maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street
medians and parkways.The District must be renewed annually by following a three-step process.
Staff recommends initiation of the renewal process for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
Background:
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting Assessment District (District)was created in
Fiscal Year 1989-1990,according to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.The District
assessment provides funding to maintain and operate streetlights,traffic signals,and landscaping
located within parkways and medians citywide.The assessment rate has not increased since the
passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and is set at $41.45 per dwelling unit.
The anticipated assessment to be collected for Fiscal Year 2020-2021is $453,000;an additional
$291,002 must be transferred from the General Fund to the Landscaping/Lighting District Fund to
maintain the citywide Landscaping and Street Lighting District for fiscal year 2020-2021.
The District must be renewed annually by following a three-step process.First,Council authorizes
the Director of Public Works to prepare an engineer’s report containing the estimated cost of
maintaining the District,the list of parcels within the District,and the method of apportionment of the
assessment.Second,the engineer’s report is presented to Council for approval and to set a date for
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/8/2021Page 1 of 4

REPORT 21-0207
assessment.Second,the engineer’s report is presented to Council for approval and to set a date for
a Public Hearing declaring the City Council’s intention to order certain improvements and to levy and
collect assessments within the District for the new fiscal year.The third and final step is to hold a
Public Hearing to accept public input on the matter of the proposed assessment and,if approved,to
levy the assessment for the new fiscal year.
Analysis:
Based on the advice of the City Attorney,the City is in compliance with Proposition 218 and can
continue to levy assessments to pay for the maintenance and operation of streetlights,street
medians,and parkway landscaping without balloting requirements so long as the assessments are
not increased.The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of
Proposition 218 in 1996.
By approving the attached Resolution,City Council authorizes initiation of the annual renewal
process by authorizing the preparation of an engineer’s report,which would contain maps,
methodology,costs,and estimated assessments for the District.The following action items are
required in order to levy and collect assessments within the City’s Landscaping and Street Lighting
District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022:
1.The Director of Public Works files the engineer’s report consisting of,among other things,the
map and the assessments with the City Clerk;
2.The City Council adopts a Resolution approving the report as prepared under the direction of
the Director of Public Works;
3.The City Council adopts a Resolution,which sets the date,time,and the place for a Public
Hearing in order to accept input on the report for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District
2021-2022;
4.The City Council holds a Public Hearing and adopts a Resolution confirming the map and
assessment for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and
levies the set assessment per-unit rate for the fiscal year commencing July 1,2021 and
ending June 30, 2022; and
5.The City Council adopts the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 estimated revenue for secured collections
for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District.

37 publicly-accessible EV chargers.The electricity usage is free to users on all of these except the
two level-3 chargers located in Parking Lot C structure.The only other costs to the public for EV
charging are locations where parking meter costs apply,such as Parking Lot A.In addition,Council
has also previously authorized staff to waive parking meter fees at silver post meters for 100%
alternative fuel vehicles.These incentives were initially approved in April 2010 and most recently re-
authorized by Council in December 2019.
Analysis:
To ensure the continued availability of reliable EV charging infrastructure for its residents and visitors,
staff recommends replacement of two public EV chargers and one charger for City fleet vehicles.
These chargers are some of the City’s oldest installations and have become maintenance liabilities.City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/8/2021Page 1 of 4

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0212
These chargers are some of the City’s oldest installations and have become maintenance liabilities.
The chargers are located at:
-301 Pier Avenue
-505 Pier Avenue
-Bard Street, fleet parking lot behind City Hall
The charger at 505 Pier Avenue is currently a dual-port charger,but would be replaced with a single-
port charger.The equipment change is due to a reconfiguration of the parking spot to become ADA-
accessible as part of the recent downtown lane reconfiguration project.This change was necessary
to ensure the City’s compliance with relevant ADA laws.It is important to note that this spot and
charger are available to all users and are not exclusively for ADA use.The charger at 301 Pier
Avenue would remain dual-port and the charger on Bard Street would be used primarily by Police
vehicles but is available to all City fleet vehicles as needed.
The warranties have expired on these existing chargers so all maintenance and parts replacements
are now paid for directly by the City.Public Works staff can make minor repairs,but increasingly
these chargers have needed more extensive maintenance beyond staff’s resources.The City spent
nearly $5,000 in Fiscal Year 2019-20 in maintenance costs on its chargers,including staff time.Most
of the City’s other public EV infrastructure is covered under agreements with vendors to include
maintenance costs and most have networking capabilities,which allow for real-time monitoring of
performance and usage.Networking capabilities also allow the City the ability to charge for electricity
use and control usage time, should the City choose to do so in the future.
Staff was unable to find any grants for this installation due in part to the varied,separate locations of
the chargers.Instead,the City appropriated $20,000 in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget to fund these
replacements.The City would use some of its annual Air Quality Management District (AQMD)grant
funds to fund the installation portion of the project.Staff worked with the proposers to customize a
proposal that would minimize costs and include a long-term maintenance plan and networking
capability.This approach ensures reliable EV chargers for public and fleet use,as well as flexibility
for the City to revise its EV policies concerning cost recovery fees in the future if so desired and
approved by Council.
Two of the proposals include the vendors maintaining the rights to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard
(LCFS)credits for the chargers.LCFS credits are administered by the California Air Resource Board
and are a part of an emissions trading program that allows usage of cleaner fuels to create credits,
which can then be exchanged on an open market of carbon-emitting entities,such as large industrial
facilities.Administering this market exchange requires a level of expertise that would be prohibitive
for City staff,especially in relation to the minimal potential revenue that would result.The value of the
LCFS are dependent on the energy usage at the charging stations and broader fluctuations in the
LCFS market.For the chargers in question,LCFS value is unknown due to its lack of networking

REPORT 21-0212
LCFS market.For the chargers in question,LCFS value is unknown due to its lack of networking
capability and thus lack of historical data on energy usage.For reference,the 10 chargers in the lot
adjacent to City Hall produce approximately $2,000 in LCFS revenue quarterly.This equates to
approximately $800 per charger annually.The City receives approximately half of this revenue from
the vendor per the agreement signed when these were installed through Southern California Edison’s
Charge Ready program.For this replacement project,staff recommends allowing the vendor to
monetize the LFCS credits themselves.This recommendation is based on the lack of historical data
on energy usage at these charging locations and the minimal financial benefit to the City after
considering the cost of administering the market exchange.In addition,allowing the vendor to keep
and monetize the LCFS credits provides further incentive for them to ensure optimal ongoing
operation of the chargers to maximize usage.
One vendor (Greenlots)offered to share the LCFS credit revenue with the City (while charging a 10%
fee plus $100 annual processing fee per charger),but the inability to quantify this estimated revenue
makes this proposal less cost-effective, as does the significant upfront cost.
A brief cost summary of the three proposals is shown below:
Vendor Total Cost After 5 Years
Muza Energy Inc.$19,217.25
EV Connect $29,700.00
Green Lots $32,209.27
The proposal from Muza Energy Inc.includes ownership of the stations and right to monetize the
LCFS credits.The annual maintenance and networking costs are proposed for a term of 5 years.This
would result in a total five-year cost of nearly $10,000 less than the next lowest cost proposal.Five
years is the typical estimated life of high-usage EV chargers such as these and the City would
assess the charger’s condition at the end of the five years to evaluate condition.The City would also
control programming of usage at the stations.This can include timing of public charging sessions and
the option of charging the users for electricity costs, as necessary.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.As part of
that document,the City set community wide greenhouse gas reduction goals that are consistent with
California statewide goals to reduce emissions 66%below 2005 levels by the year 2040.As part of
the plan approval process,Council expressed preference for and adopted policies that focus on an
incentive and voluntary measures to reducing greenhouse gas emissions rather than mandatory
requirements for new buildings.
Continuation and refinement of these green building and sustainability incentives helps to implement

REPORT 21-0212
Continuation and refinement of these green building and sustainability incentives helps to implement
the following General Plan goals and policies:
Mobility Element:
·5.1 Prioritize development of infrastructure.Prioritize the development of roadway and parking
infrastructure that encourages private electric and other low carbon vehicle ownership and use
throughout the city.
Sustainability + Conservation Element:
·Goal 2.Hermosa Beach is a low-carbon community meeting State greenhouse gas reduction
goals by 2040.
·2.7 Emerging technologies.Regularly evaluate new and emerging technology changes that
can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage the use of such technology
when it is demonstrated to be effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and a fiscally
responsible investment.
·3.5 Clean fuels.Support increased local access to cleaner fuels and cleaner energy by
encouraging fueling stations that provide cleaner fuels and energy to the community.
Fiscal Impact:
Of the proposed agreement cost of $19,217.25,$16,011 would be funded from the $20,000
appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget from the AQMD Fund (account 152-3701-4201).
Annual maintenance fees of $3,206.25 would be included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH AND
MUZA ENERGY, INC.
This AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) is entered into this ___ day of April, 2021, by and between the CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, a general law city municipal corporation (“CITY”) and Muza Energy, Inc., a California corporation (“MUZA”).
R E C I T A L S
A. The City currently operates multiple stations of electric vehicle supply equipment (generally “EVSE” and individually
each an “EVSE Unit”), some of which no longer function properly and require replacement, operation, and maintenance;
B. Muza sells, installs, operates and maintains EVSE (the “Operating Services”);
C. The City desires for Muza to remove the EVSE listed in Exhibit A of this Agreement (the “Retired EVSE”) and replace,
operate and maintain new replacement EVSE (“New EVSE”) in their place;
D. The City does not have the personnel able and/or available to perform the services required under this Agreement and
therefore, the City desires to contract for the services described herein to accomplish this work; and
E. Muza warrants to the City that is has the qualifications, experience, and facilities to perform properly and timely the
services under this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing recitals, the City and Muza agree as follows:
A G R E E M E N T
1. Site Agreement. The City hereby grants Muza the right to operate one or more EVSE Units at each Installation Site, as set
forth in Exhibit A during the term of this Agreement. Furthermore, the City hereby grants Muza access to the EVSE Units at
such Installation Sites; however, in the event that such EVSE Units are located “behind the fence” and have restricted access ,
the City shall cooperate with Muza to grant access to such EVSE Units.
2. Installation Site(s).
2.1. Stub Down: The City agrees that it, or its contractors, have already completed or will perform as necessary, the electrical
and other contracting services, including obtaining required permits and inspections required for the purpose of
completing the preparing the necessary electrical work underground and up to the connecting point where each EVSE
Unit will be installed at each Installation Site (the “Stub Down” work). Installation needs to be compliant with
manufacturers installation instructions, referenced in Exhibit B.
2.2. Stub Up: Muza will, either itself or through the utilization of a subcontracted electrician, at its expense will
perform all contracting services necessary, including obtaining required permits and inspections required
for the purpose of installing the “stub up” portion of the EVSE Units described in Exhibit A (the “Stub Up”
work).
3. Operation.
3.1. Muza will be the sole owner of the New EVSE and be solely responsible for operating the New EVSE during the Term.
The City understands that, unless mutually agreed otherwise, the New EVSE only provides charging or EV services

the purchase of personal protection equipment.
Executive Summary:
On March 10, 2020, City Council approved the subrecipient agreement between the County of Los
Angeles and the City of Hermosa Beach for the 2018 State Homeland Security Program (SHSP). The
County released additional funds to SHSP subrecipients and awarded the City of Hermosa Beach an
additional $9,000 for the purchase of personal protection equipment. Staff recommends acceptance
and appropriation of these grant funds to purchase this equipment.
Background:
The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors accepted the 2018 State Homeland Security
Program (SHSP) for the Los Angeles County Operational Area and provided a Subrecipient
Agreement (SRA) to the City of Hermosa Beach for the distribution of $70,199 in grant funds. This

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0214
the City was informed that additional funding under the 2018 SHSP could potentially become
available to agencies that required additional funding or requested new projects.
Staff submitted a proposal for a new project to purchase laser eye protection eyewear for the police
department.This equipment helps reduce eye injury from laser exposure,typically encountered
during crowd control and riot situations.Exposure to high-power lasers could be a significant hazard
to law enforcement during these situations,as was seen in several civil unrest situations that took
place in 2020.The equipment may also be used during mutual aid deployments and special events
as needed.
The County approved the City’s new project request and awarded the City of Hermosa Beach an
additional $9,000 for the 2018 SHSP.With the newly awarded funds,staff would be able to purchase
and issue laser eye protection equipment to all sworn officers.Staff recommends the acceptance and
appropriation of these grant funds so the police department can purchase crucial personal protection
equipment for staff.

four years with no extension.Due to fluctuating staff levels,as well as the need to increase career
opportunities for employees,staff conducted a review of its organizational structure,including
specialty assignments.As a result of this review,it was determined that a change in the term of the
Administrative,Backgrounds,and Training specialty assignment from four years to two years would
benefit the Department by increasing opportunities for employee development.
On March 24,2021,the Chief of Police and the Hermosa Beach Police Officers’Association Board of
Directors met and conferred regarding the proposed changes to the length of assignment of the
specialty assignment of the Administrative,Backgrounds and Training position.The Association
Board President acknowledged on March 29,2021,that the Police Officers’Association accepted the

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of April 13, 2021
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR A TENANT IMPROVEMENT WITHIN SUITE 103 OF
THE BIJOU BUILDING, A HISTORICAL LANDMARK, LOCATED AT 1227 HERMOSA AVENUE
AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Adopt the attached resolution, thereby approving a Certificate of Appropriateness (CA 42-#10)
to allow a tenant improvement within Suite 103 of the Bijou Building, located at 1227 Hermosa
Avenue within the General Commercial (C-2) zone; and
2.Determine this action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
Executive Summary:
The applicant submitted a proposal to allow a tenant improvement within a 1,537 square foot tenant
space on the first floor of the Bijou Building located in Suite 103. The Bijou Building is a locally
designated historical landmark. Section 17.53.140 of the City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code
(HBMC) requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness prior to improvement of a landmark or
potential landmark in the City.
Background:
The subject site is located on the southwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and 13th Street and is
addressed as 1227 Hermosa Avenue, Suite 103. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use
Designation of Recreational Commercial and a zoning designation of General Commercial (C-2)
zone. The 14,031 square foot parcel is currently improved with a 24,860 square foot three-story
building known as the Bijou Building.
Constructed in 1923, the building was designed in a neoclassical revival architectural theme. The
building served as a first run live vaudeville theater and motion picture house. Additionally, the
building housed office space, commercial storefront, and the local Masonic lodge on the third floor.
In 1998, a historic resource survey was conducted and determined the building was eligible for
placement on the National Register of Historic Places due to the building’s distinctive architectural
style and contributions to early social and economic history of Hermosa Beach. In 1999, the City
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/8/2021Page 1 of 5
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 21-0206
designated the Bijou Building as a historical landmark pursuant to HBMC Section 15.53.070
(Historical Preservation Ordinance).
Discussion:
The applicant proposes to remodel tenant suite 103, which measures approximately 1,537 square
feet. The proposed project would construct a new staircase providing access from the first floor to the
mezzanine. The staircase would be located adjacent to the southern interior wall. The proposed
staircase is designed to be separated and structurally independent from the historic southern wall in
order to preserve existing historic decorative plaster.
On the mezzanine level, the 3’-2” portion of the original mezzanine railing, that was removed to
accommodate the existing non-original staircase at the north end, would be replaced with the 3’-6”
portion of original mezzanine railing that would be relocated from the south end to the location of the
new staircase landing. The replacement piece would be fitted to match the existing railing at the
correct balustrade interval. This would allow for the reuse of original balustrade features and avoid
recreating and demolishing original features. The new wood staircase would incorporate a simplified
Neoclassical Revival-style detailing and would be supported from the ground floor and would not be
attached to the historic wall. All existing character-defining features would be preserved and
protected during demolition and construction. All existing historic features and finishes would be
retained and preserved. Where currently damaged, repairs to the original character-defining features
would match the original.
The proposed project would also remove the existing tenant improvements in the main commercial
space, retaining only the kitchen, elevator, and HVAC closet that are non-contributing alterations.
Non-contributing features are elements of the property that do not contribute to the property’s historic
designation. The City’s Historical Consultant, Environmental Science Associates (ESA), has
completed a review of the proposed plans. ESA’s report, dated December 9, 2020, included as
Attachment 2 to this report, contains a list of character-defining features as Appendix D. None of the
existing character-defining features in the Commercial Space would be affected by the project except
for the existing mezzanine railing.
ESA’s report determined the proposed project would conform to the Secretary of Interior Standards
for the Treatment of Historic Properties, that the project would not materially impair the Bijou Building
or any of the character-defining features that contribute to its significance as a historical resource.
Specifically, the proposed project would not disturb the decorative recessed main entrance with
plaster Neoclassical cornice, full-height plaster pilasters with Corinthian capitals, decorative metal
grille, pressed tin decorative ceiling, or the decorative plaster molding at ceiling and walls. To ensure
the preservation of historical features, maintain the historical architectural significance, and avoid any
unintended damage to character-defining features during demolition and construction, the historical
resources consultant recommends the following conditions of approval, which are included in the

resolution:
1.A qualified architectural historian or historic preservation consultant to conduct construction
monitoring at regular intervals during demolition and construction; and
2.Upon Project completion, a qualified architectural historian or historic preservation consultant
to prepare a Substantial Completion Report for submittal to the City, which includes a
summary of observations made during construction monitoring and a final review of the project
for compliance with the Standards, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Recommended conditions of approval would help to ensure that any potential adverse impacts
resulting from the project would be reduced to a less than significant level upon Project completion.
Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.53.160, Staff finds that:
A.In the case of a landmark, the proposed work: 1) conforms to the prescriptive standards
adopted by the Council; 2) would not detrimentally alter, destroy or adversely affect any
exterior improvement or exterior architectural feature; and 3) would retain the essential
elements that make the resource significant. The City’s Historical Consultant Environmental
Science Associates (ESA) completed a review of the proposed plans. ESA found the proposed
project would adaptively reuse the interior of the theater space as office space in conformance
with the Standards, that the project would not materially impair the Bijou Building or any of the
character-defining features that contribute to its significance as a historical resource, including
the stage area, proscenium, decorative plasterwork, and north and west interior wall.
Nevertheless, conditions of approval need to be incorporated to ensure the project would not
result in potential adverse impacts by causing unintended damage to character-defining
features during demolition and construction. These conditions of approval are included as part
of this action.
B.In the case of construction of a new building, structure, or improvement on a site where a
landmark is located: 1) The exterior of such improvements would not adversely affect and
would be compatible with the external appearance of the existing designated improvements,
buildings and structures on such site.The exterior of such improvements would not adversely
affect and would be compatible with the external appearance of the existing designated
improvements, buildings, and structures on such site.
Environmental Determination:
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15331, Class 31 Exemption, Historical Resource Restoration or
Rehabilitation, because the project is limited to maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and restoration of
a historical resource in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the

REPORT 21-0206
Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitation, Restoring and
Reconstruction Historic Buildings as explained in the ESA report dated December 9, 2020. Further,
the project is categorically exempt under CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15061(b)(3) under
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the project involves minor interior
alterations to an existing facility in the form of an interior staircase. (See Section 15301.) The work
contemplated is designed to be separate and structurally independent from any historic portions of
the Bijou Building and would be designed to not impact any character-defining features. Also, these
solely interior modifications, which would follow all applicable Secretary of Interior’s Standards and
would not impact the historical architectural significance and integrity of the Bijou building, have no
possible significant effect on the environment. (See Section 15061 (b)(3).)
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017. The
approval of this Certificate of Appropriateness supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies
that are listed below.

Subject: Historic Preservation Project Review Services and Preparation of a Plan Review for Commercial
Improvements for 1227 Hermosa Avenue to Renovate for Future Leasing of the Historic Bijou
Building, Hermosa Beach, California
Dear Ms. Emas,
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) appreciates the opportunity to submit this letter report (Report) to the
Community Development Department, City of Hermosa Beach (City), which summarizes and documents the
results of a Secretary of the Interior’s Standards conformance review for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
proposed tenant improvements (Project) at 1227 Hermosa Avenue, Hermosa Beach, California (“1227 Hermosa
Avenue” or “Project Site”) by Bray Architects for Sep Dardshti (Tenant). The Neoclassical Revival-style Bijou
Building, designed by architect Richard Douglas King and constructed in 1923, is a designated City of Hermosa
Beach landmark (Landmark). The Project would reconfigure the interior of a commercial space (Commercial
Space) to make it more amenable for continued commercial use by removing the non-original existing staircase
and constructing a new compatible staircase in a less obtrusive location. Originally occupied by the First Bank of
Hermosa Beach, the Commercial Space is located within the northeast corner of the locally designated Bijou
Building (“Bijou Building” or “subject property”). The Bijou Building is located at 1221-1237 Hermosa Avenue
at the southwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and 13th Street on assessor parcel number (APN) 4183-002-008
(Project Site). The Bijou Building is considered a historical resource pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s preservation ordinance. Since the proposed tenant improvements could result
in potential adverse impacts, the Project must be designed to conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
for Rehabilitation (Standards) for compliance with CEQA and the City’s preservation ordinance.
This Report includes a Project description, summary of previous evaluations of the Project Site, character-
defining features analysis, and review of Project plans to ensure compliance with the Standards. This Report was
prepared by ESA’s architectural historians, including Margarita C. Jerabek-Bray, Ph.D., Director of Historic
Resources, and Alison Garcia Kellar, M.S., Senior Architectural Historian, who meet and exceed the Secretary of
the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards in history and architectural history. Professional qualifications
are provided in Attachment A.
Previous Evaluations of the Bijou Building
The Bijou Building was designed by architect Richard Douglas King in the Neoclassical Revival style and
constructed in 1923. In 1998, PCR Services Corporation (PCR), now ESA, evaluated the Bijou Building, finding
it eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) under criteria A and C and as
Melanie Emas
City of Hermosa Beach
December 9, 2020
Page 2
a Landmark under local criteria A, C, and D.1 The report found the Bijou Building to exemplify the early social
and economic history of Hermosa Beach and be a distinctive example of the Neoclassical Revival architectural
style and representative example of notable Southern California architect Richard Douglas King’s work. The
Bijou Building’s period of significance was identified as 1923, its original date of construction. The Department
of Parks and Recreation (DPR) form recording the 1998 survey findings is included in Attachment B.
The abovementioned DPR form dating from 1998 describes the exterior and interior of the Commercial Space at
1227 Hermosa Avenue as follows:
The northeast storefront is slightly larger than the southeast storefront (approximately 841 square feet),
single-story space, rectangular in plan, and three bays wide. Entry into the commercial space is via a
recessed entrance with transom windows located in the central bay. The interior of this space has a high,
ornate plaster ceiling; a mezzanine and staircase [non- original]; a restroom [non-original]; and storage
space [non-original]. The entire interior space is highly ornate with classical detailing. Three large
mirror panes [non-original and no longer extant] occupy the south wall each is framed with gold trim and
highlighted with modillions and rosettes. Between these mirror panes are floor to ceiling engaged, square
plaster columns each with ornate capitals of an allegorical figure and acanthus leaves. Similar columns
divide the large expanses of display windows along the north side of the room into five bays. An ornate
plaster molding of rosettes and acanthus leaves highlight each wall of this interior space. The mezzanine
balustrade is also highly ornate with decorative urns and interesting spindle work. Other than the wall,
ceiling, and mezzanine ornamentation, the interior space is devoid of furnishings.2
Since the time of the 1998 survey, the three large mirror panes mentioned in the above description, which were
not original or character-defining, have been removed, and the space has been repainted. On April 27, 1999, the
City adopted Resolution Nos. 99-5980 and 99-5981 designating the Bijou Building as a historic landmark
pursuant to Section 15.53.070 of the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance and approving the use of the
Standards to guide future change to the Project Site.
1 Jan Ostashay, PCR Services, Department of Parks and Recreation Form: Bijou Theater Building, December 22, 1998. The National
Register criteria are: (A) It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; (B)
It is associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; (C) It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or
method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and
distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; (D) It yields, or may be likely to yield, information
important in prehistory or history.
The City of Hermosa Beach Historic Preservation Ordinance defines a landmark as: (A) A resource exemplifying special cultural,
social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history; (B) A resource identified with persons or events significant
in local, state, or national history; (C) A resource embodying distinctive characteristics of style, type, period, or method of
construction or a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship; (D) A resource representative of notable work
of a builder, designer, or architect; (E) A resource with unique location, singular physical characteristics, representing an established
and familiar visual feature or landmark of a neighborhood, community or the City.

The Commercial Space has had several tenants since its designation as a Landmark, including Coffee Bean and
Tea Leaf, Frosted Cupcakery and North Shore Poke Co. In the process, various tenant improvements have been
made to the interior, both on the ground floor and at mezzanine level. For the purposes of this Report, none of
these alterations are considered character-defining. In 2001, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf carried out several interior
alterations, which are still extant, including the construction of non-loadbearing partitions to enclose building
services and storage areas; removal of a section of the mezzanine balustrade for the construction of a new
staircase; construction of a handrail along the top of the mezzanine balustrade; and installation of a suspended
track lighting system from the interior molded plaster ceiling. Based upon ESA’s research and investigation of the
existing conditions of the Commercial Space, the existing kitchen (ground floor), restroom (mezzanine level), and
fenestration do not appear to be original. In 2012, the illuminated sign suspended interior to the easternmost
window on the north wall was installed during the Commercial Space’s use as Frosted Cupcakery. Recent
modifications to the building occurred in 2017 for use as the North Shore Poke Co., including an L-shaped
service counter, pony walls, movable metal shelving units, and new electrical plan. This work did not alter,
remove, or destroy any character-defining features.

Interior Character-Defining Features Analysis
The Project would reconfigure the interior of the Commercial Space at the northeast corner of the locally
designated Bijou Building by removing the existing non-original staircase and constructing a new compatible
Classical Revival-style staircase in a less obtrusive and more functional location. The Project would also remove
the existing tenant improvements in the main commercial space, retaining only the kitchen, elevator, and HVAC
closet that are non-contributing alterations. None of the existing character-defining features in the Commercial
Space would be affected by the project except for the existing mezzanine railing. Nonetheless, it is important to
identify the character-defining features that should be retained in order to ensure Project conformance with the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards in support of a Certificate of Appropriateness and a finding of a less than
significant impact pursuant to CEQA. A project that retains a significant combination of character-defining
features associated with the Bijou Building and is designed to conform to the Standards would result in a less than
significant impact to the historical resource pursuant to CEQA impact thresholds. Under the Standards, minimal
change is allowed to support a compatible change in use. Under the Standards and CEQA, minimal changes and
adverse impacts are allowed, respectively, as long as the eligibility of a property is preserved and appropriate
mitigation measures are included to reduce potential adverse impacts that may be caused by removal of non-
contributing additions or alterations necessary to rehabilitate the building for its new use.
According to National Park Service Preservation Brief 17, Architectural Character: Identifying the Visual
Aspects of Historic Buildings as an Aid to Their Preservation, “character refers to all those visual aspects and
physical features that comprise the appearance of every historic building. Character-defining elements include the
overall shape of the building, its materials, craftsmanship, decorative details, interior spaces and features, as well
as the various aspects of its site and environment. The purpose [is to] identify those features or elements that give
the building its visual character and that should be taken into account in order to preserve them to the maximum
extent possible.”3
Below is an inventory of interior character-defining features that are associated with the Commercial Space. ESA
conducted a site visit to confirm current conditions and analyze character-defining features on August 10, 2020.
Alteration or removal of these features should be avoided. A character-defining matrix for the building is
included as Attachment D to this letter report.
Period of Significance: The period of significance identified for the Commercial Space is 1923, its original
construction date as the First Bank of Hermosa Beach located in the Bijou Building

CEQA Impacts Analysis
Significance Thresholds
The thresholds for determining the significance of environmental effects on historical resources identified below
are derived from the CEQA Guidelines as defined in §15064.5. Pursuant to this guidance, a project that would
physically detract, either directly or indirectly, from the integrity and significance of the historical resource such
that its eligibility for listing in the National Register, California Register or as a City of Hermosa Beach
Landmark would no longer be maintained, is considered a project that would result in a significant impact on the
historical resource. Adverse impacts, that may or may not rise to a level of significance, result when one or more
of the following occurs to a historical resource: demolition, relocation, conversion, rehabilitation, or alteration, or
new construction on the site or in the vicinity.
CEQA Guidelines
According to the State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5(b) a project involves a “substantial adverse change” in
the significance of the resource when one or more of the following occurs:
Substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource means physical demolition,
destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance
of an historical resource would be materially impaired.
The significance of a historical resource is materially impaired when a project:
A. Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of an historical
resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for inclusion
in, the California Register of Historical Resources; or
B. Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics that account for its
inclusion in a local register of historical resources pursuant to Section 5020.1(k) of the PRC or its
identification in a historical resources survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the PRC,
unless the public agency reviewing the effects of the project establishes by a preponderance of evidence
that the resource is not historically or culturally significant; or
C. Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of a historical
resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its eligibility for inclusion in the California
Register of Historical Resources as determined by a lead agency for purposes of CEQA.

Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (Standards)
As mentioned above, under CEQA, a project that follows the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing,
Historic Buildings or the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating
Historic Buildings (1995), Weeks and Grimmer, (Standards) shall be considered as mitigated to a level of less
than a significant impact on the Historical Resource.4 The Standards were developed by the U.S. Department of
the Interior as a means to evaluate and approve work on historic buildings for federal grants and rehabilitation tax
credits. The Standards are codified at 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 67.7. CEQA recognizes the
value of the Standards by using them to demonstrate that a project that generally follows the Standards shall be
considered as mitigated to a level of less than a significant impact and may be approved without an EIR.5 In
effect, CEQA has a “safe harbor” by providing either a categorical exemption or a negative declaration for a
project which meets the Standards. See State CEQA Guidelines Section 15331 and 15064.5(b)(3). However,
failure to strictly comply with the Standards may not result in significant impacts to a historical resource if the
project does not result in material impairment that would detract from its eligibility.
Analysis of Project Impacts
Project Description
This analysis is required by the City as part of the Certificate of Appropriate Review process for a Project that
would continue to reuse the commercial space at the front (east side) of the Bijou Building as commercial space
for the Tenant. The Project would retain all of the extant character-defining features in the commercial space that
contribute to the overall significance of the Bijou Building as a historical resource and would not alter or be
physically connected to them. Current Project plans, prepared by Bray Architects and issued on December 7,
2020, are included in Attachment C.
The proposed Project would carefully remove the majority of the existing tenant improvements in the
Commercial Space including the non-original staircase and all the tenant improvements in the Customer Area as
shown on demolition plans (Sheet A1.02). The existing non-original kitchen, mechanical and storage closets on
the ground floor would be retained. The existing elevator and lobby would also be retained. On the mezzanine
level, the existing HVAC closet, elevator, and restroom would be retained. The proposed project would construct
a new staircase leading to the mezzanine adjacent to the south interior wall that would be separated and
structurally independent and would not physically touch the historic wall so that the existing historic decorative
plaster detailing would be preserved. At the mezzanine, the 3’-2” portion of the original mezzanine railing that
was removed to accommodate the existing non-original staircase at the north end would be infilled with the 3’-6”
4 California Environmental Quality Act, 15064.5 (3).

portion of original mezzanine railing that would be relocated from the south end at the location of the new
staircase landing. The infill piece would be fitted to match the existing railing at the correct balustrade interval.
This would allow for the reuse of original balustrade features and avoid recreating and demolishing original
features. The new wood staircase would be designed in a simplified Neoclassical Revival-style detailing, and
would be supported from below and would not be attached to the historic wall. All existing character-defining
features would be preserved and protected during demolition and construction. All existing historic features and
finishes would be retained and preserved. Where currently damaged, repairs to the original character-defining
features would match the original.
Construction monitoring and preservation consultation would be undertaken to ensure that damage to character-
defining features is avoided, that any damaged/deteriorated historic features/materials are repaired/replaced in
kind in conformance with the Standard, and that in the event damage would occur or any unforeseen
circumstances arise that appropriate preservation treatment measures would be recommended and undertaken in
conformance with the Standards.
Impacts Analysis
The Project would reconfigure the interior of the Commercial Space at the northeast corner of the locally
designated Bijou Building by removing the existing non-original staircase and constructing a new compatible
Neoclassical Revival-style staircase in a less obtrusive and more functional location. The Project would also
remove the majority of the existing non-original tenant improvements/alterations in the main commercial space,
retaining only the existing non-original kitchen, elevator, and HVAC closet. All of the existing historic character-
defining features in the Commercial Space would be retained and preserved and would be unaffected by the
project except for the existing mezzanine railing. The Project would not materially impair the Bijou Building or
significantly alter any of the character-defining features that contribute to its significance as a historical resource,
including the decorative recessed main entrance with plaster Neoclassical cornice, full-height plaster pilasters
with Corinthian capitals, decorative metal grille, pressed tin decorative ceiling, and the decorative plaster molding
at ceiling and walls. The Neoclassical balustrade at the mezzanine will be altered to accommodate a new
staircase, and the removed portion of the 3’-6” section of railing will be relocated to replace a non-original 3’-2”
opening in the railing that was previously created by the construction of the existing non-original staircase.
The Project as proposed would not materially impair the locally designated Bijou Building and would retain and
preserve all of the existing character-defining features that contribute to its significance as a historical resource.
However, implementation of the Project may result in potential adverse impacts by causing unintended damage to
character-defining features, during demolition and construction. To protect the historical and architectural
significance and integrity of the Bijou Building, ESA recommends that the City require a qualified architectural
historian or historic preservation consultant to conduct construction monitoring at regular intervals during
demolition and construction to ensure that character-defining features will be protected and preserved during

construction. Upon Project completion, a qualified architectural historian or historic preservation consultant shall
prepare a Substantial Completion Report for submittal to the City which includes a summary of observations
made during construction monitoring and a final review of the Project for compliance with the Standards, prior to
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. This mitigation measure (or project condition) would help to ensure that
the Bijou Building retains its eligibility as a locally designated historical resource, and that any potential adverse
impacts resulting from the Project would be reduced to a less than significant level upon Project completion.
Therefore, because the Project conforms to the Standards and the Bijou Building would remain a
Landmark following Project completion, there would be no significant impacts to historical resources on
the Project Site pursuant to CEQA.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards Review
Standard 1: A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to
its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
The Project requires reconfiguration of the staircase at the interior of the Commercial Space at the front
of the Bijou Building for its continued commercial use. It should be noted, however, that the area that
would be adaptively reused under the Project has already undergone alteration; after the Bijou Building’s
designation as a Landmark, various alterations were carried out in the Commercial Space to
accommodate tenants including Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Frosted Cupcakery, and North Shore Poke
Co. As such, the Project would require minimal change to the existing materials, features, spaces, and
spatial relationships that characterize the Bijou Building. Therefore, the Project would conform to
Standard 1.
Standard 2: The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive
materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.
The Project would retain and preserve the historic character of the Commercial Space of the
Neoclassical-style Bijou Building and not result in the removal, or destruction of any character-defining
features that contribute to the subject property’s significance as a historical resource. The features that are
to be removed as part of this work will include non-original wall partitions, the non-original staircase,
non-original built-in cabinetry, and non-original and door assemblies. A portion of the original balustrade
railing at the mezzanine will be relocated to accommodate a new staircase. The alteration to the
balustrade railing will involve the removal of a 3’-6” portion of the retailing, and its relocation to infill a
3’-2” portion of missing railing at the mezzanine’s northern end, enclosing the existing non-original
opening that would be remain after the removal of the non-original staircase. In this, original materials
will not be removed from the building. The relocated portion of the railing will reinstate the original
features, materials, finishes, workmanship, and spatial relationships of the interior space. Therefore, the
Project would conform to Standard 2.
Melanie Emas
City of Hermosa Beach
December 9, 2020
Page 13
Standard 3: Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that
create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic
properties, will not be undertaken.
The Project recognizes the distinctive historic and architectural character of the Bijou Building. The
proposed new staircase is designed in a simplified contemporary version of the Neoclassical Revival style
that will be compatible with the original interior features and style of the building and will not create a
false sense of historical development or include conjectural features from other historic properties.
Therefore, the Project would conform to Standard 3.
Standard 4: Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and
preserved.
The Commercial Space at the front of the Bijou Building does not appear to include any alterations or
additions that have acquired significance due to their association with significant events or the productive
lives of historic personages or through architectural merit. Modifications to remove and reconfigure the
former banking space have taken place over time, and later changes to add partial height walls or the
existing non-original staircase, kitchen or elevator do not appear to have acquired historic significance in
their own right. Therefore, the Project would conform to Standard 4.
Standard 5: Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a property will be preserved.
The Project would retain the distinctive materials, features, finishes, construction techniques and
examples of craftsmanship that characterize the Bijou Building. The Project would relocate a portion of
the original railing at the mezzanine in order to accommodate a new, code-compliant staircase. The
portion of removed railing will serve to infill previously removed railing at the northern end of the
mezzanine, which will reinstate the original character of the space making the mezzanine more
prominently visible within the space as it originally was. The Project would also preserve the original
brick masonry exterior walls, the original main entrance, all existing original interior plaster
ornamentation, the original ceiling, and the original mezzanine. Therefore, the Project would conform
to Standard 5.
Standard 6: Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color,
texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary
and physical evidence.
Melanie Emas
City of Hermosa Beach
December 9, 2020
Page 14
The scope of the proposed Project does not include the repair of any deteriorated historic features
associated with the Bijou Building. The character-defining features in the Commercial Space have been
preserved, and remain in good condition. Construction monitoring would be conducted to identify any
areas of damage that may be exposed once the existing partition walls are removed. Therefore, the
Project would conform to Standard 6.
Standard 7: Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means
possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
Standard 7 is not applicable to the Project, as it would not involve any chemical treatments.
Standard 8: Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be
disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
Standard 8 is not applicable to the Project, as its scope only includes interior staircase relocation.
Standard 9: New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials,
features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the
old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale, and proportion, and massing to
protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
The Project as proposed would retain all of the existing character-defining features that contribute to the
Bijou Building’s significance as a historical resource. A portion of the original balustrade railing at the
mezzanine would be modified as part of this project. The removal of the non-original staircase and the
relocation of a portion of existing original balustrade railing into the non-original opening at the
mezzanine would further reinforce the original design intent of the space.
The new wood staircase would be designed in a contemporary interpretation of the Neoclassical Revival
style, allowing the staircase compatible and also differentiated from the original features at the building.
The new staircase would not overwhelm the interior space and its design and materials would be
compatible with and reflect the original aesthetic of the interior space.
However, as mentioned above, implementation of the Project may cause unintended damage to character-
defining features, including original and restored plasterwork, during demolition and construction. To
protect the historical and architectural significance and integrity of the Bijou Building, ESA recommends
construction monitoring to ensure that its contributing features are properly preserved.
All new work carried out under the Project would be differentiated from the old and would be compatible
with the historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the Bijou Building. As
Melanie Emas
City of Hermosa Beach
December 9, 2020
Page 15
such, the integrity of the Bijou Building as a locally designated property would be protected. In this way,
the original design intent of the interior character-defining features would be preserved. Therefore, the
Project would conform to Standard 9.
Standard 10: New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that,
if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be
unimpaired.
If the proposed new staircase would be removed in the future, the Bijou Building’s integrity as a locally
designated property would remain unimpaired. Therefore, the Project would conform to Standard 10.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The proposed Project would reconfigure the interior of the existing Commercial Space at the northeast corner of
the Bijou Building by removing the large existing non-original staircase and constructing a new compatible
Neoclassical Revival-style wood staircase in a more functional location, thereby opening up the main commercial
space and making it more usable and visually appealing. Furthermore, the Project would remove the majority of
the existing non-original tenant improvements/alterations in the main commercial space, thereby reinstating its
original spatial relationships and returning the mezzanine to its original visual prominence. All of the existing
historic character-defining features in the Commercial Space would be retained and preserved and would be
unaffected by the project except for the existing mezzanine railing. The Project would not materially impair the
Bijou Building or significantly alter any of the character-defining features that contribute to its significance as a
historical resource. It would retain and preserve the decorative recessed main entrance with plaster Neoclassical
cornice, full-height plaster pilasters with Corinthian capitals, decorative metal grille, pressed tin decorative
ceiling, and the decorative plaster molding at ceiling and walls. The Neoclassical balustrade at the mezzanine will
be altered to accommodate the new staircase, and will relocate a 3’-6” section of original railing to replace a non-
original 3’-2” opening in the railing that was previously created by the construction of the existing non-original
staircase.
ESA reviewed Project plans prepared by Bray Architects issued on December 7, 2020 to determine if the Project
would result in potential direct impacts to historical resources on the Project Site. ESA found that the Project as
proposed would not materially impair the locally designated Bijou Building and would retain all of the character-
defining features that contribute to its significance as a historical resource. However, implementation of the
Project may result in potential adverse impacts by causing unintended damage to character-defining features,
including original plasterwork, during demolition and construction. To protect the historical and architectural
significance and integrity of the Bijou Building, ESA recommends that a qualified architectural historian or
historic preservation consultant conduct construction monitoring at regular intervals during demolition and

Page 16
construction to ensure that the Bijou Building retains its eligibility as a locally designated historical resource, and
that any potential adverse impacts that could result from the Project are avoided.
Therefore, the Project would have no adverse impacts to historical resources under CEQA because the integrity of
the Bijou Building as a Landmark would be retained. Furthermore, the Project would be in full compliance with
Standards 1 through 10. The Project would also be Categorically Exempt under Class 31, Section 15331,
Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation of CEQA because it would conform to the Standards and not
materially impair the locally designated Bijou Building and would retain all of the character-defining features that
contribute to its significance as a historical resource.
Demolition activities and unforeseen circumstances that may arise during construction have the potential to
damage character-defining features of the subject property and would require construction monitoring by a
qualified preservation consultant to ensure potential damage would be avoided and that the project would be
completed in conformance with the Standards. In order to minimize these potential construction impacts to the
historical resource, the following Mitigation Measure is recommended to ensure that potential adverse impacts
shall be reduced to less than significant:
Construction Monitoring The retained architectural historian shall conduct construction monitoring
during both demolition and construction to ensure that damage to any existing historic fabric or features
is avoided, minimized as far as feasible, and the appropriate repairs are made where necessary in
conformance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines. A qualified architectural
historian or historic architect who satisfies the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification
Standards pursuant to 36 CFR 61, shall conduct the monitoring and provide preservation treatment
consultation to address any unanticipated issues that may arise and to ensure that the Project meets the
Standards. The construction monitoring process shall be documented in daily logs and a substantial
completion monitoring report letter. The construction monitoring site visits shall be fully recorded in
photographs and written manuscript notes that shall be documented in a memorandum. At the completion
of construction, a final substantial completion letter report shall be prepared and placed in the property
file at the Planning Division.

Relevant Experience
Earl Carroll Theatre Historic Structure Report, Los Angeles, CA. Senior
Architectural Historian. Alison was the lead author of the Historic Structure Report
created for the rehabilitation of the historic Earl Carroll Theatre in Hollywood.
Constructed in 1938, the property is significant for its association with owner-
operator Earl Carroll, Hollywood nightlife, and architect Gordon B. Kaufmann. The
theatre is a listed LA Historic-Cultural Monument and has been identified as
eligible for the National Register. In recent years, the theatre has been rented by
television network studios as sound stages, and as a result some public areas
have been modified over time. Alison conducted supplemental in-depth research,
participated with the creation of a detailed interior and exterior character-
defining features analysis, and assisted with the analysis of the theatre’s current
condition. She developed recommendations in compliance with the SOI
standards that sensitively guide stakeholders with ongoing preservation efforts.
Alpine Village Preservation Consulting Services, Unincorporated Los Angeles
County, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. Alison was the lead author of the
preliminary historical significance evaluation determination for the Alpine Village
complex, a European-style shopping center located near Torrance, California.
Comprised of seven buildings constructed between 1969 and 1974, the complex is
an example of an increasingly rare type of roadside architecture, and retains high
historic integrity. Alison participated in conducting in-depth construction
chronology research, determining the complex’s period of significance, and
identified both interior and exterior character-defining features for the property
to help guide ongoing planning efforts.
Whittier Public Library, Whittier CA. Senior Architectural Historian. Alison was
the lead author of the Historic Resources Assessment which determined that the
library is significant as an individual resource under National Register Criteria A
and C. Constructed in 1958, the property is significant for its association with Mid-
Century Modernism, postwar period institutional properties, and architect
William Henry Harrison. Alison assembled the construction history for the library

and the Whittier Civic Center. She created a detailed character-defining features
analysis identifying significant and contributing features at the property’s
interior, exterior, and site. Alison coordinated with the project architect to ensure
that the project met the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOI) in order to
meet community’s contemporary needs while respecting the building’s historic
character.
Benjamin Franklin Elementary School Historic Resource Evaluation and
Mitigated Negative Declaration, San Diego, CA. Senior Architectural Historian.
Alison conducted an HRA for the 1930s, 40s, and 50s-designed elementary school
campus. The property was found to be a historic district eligible for its association
with the post-war development of the Kensington neighborhood, and for its
association with two master San Diego architects. The proposed project was
reviewed for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and a
CEQA analysis was performed, resulting in the Mitigation Measures and design
considerations for future construction within the district.
3325 Monterey Road CEQA Impacts Analysis and Design Review, San Marino,
California. Senior Architectural Historian. A two-story Art Deco style single-family
residence, constructed in 1927 in San Marino, California was determined to be a
historic resource. Proposed modifications to the residence included a two-story
rear addition and building rehabilitation. Alison assisted with preservation design
consultation and conducted a plan review for conformance with the SOI
Standards for the proposed project. She coordinated with the project architect to
better convey preservation components of the proposed work into the drawing
set for city review. The review required a character-defining features analysis to
determine the level of significance of the remaining features.
Golden Gate Village Historic Resource Evaluation, Marin City, CA. Architectural
Historian. The highly-intact Golden Gate Village low-income housing complex was
constructed in 1958 to house many of the former Marinship workers and their
families. Designed by prominent mid-century designers including Aaron G. Green,
John Carl Warnecke, and Lawrence Halprin, the property serves as an example of
a well-designed housing complex, significant as a product of post-war urban
development and for its prominent mid-century designers. Alison performed the
site visit and conducted research through local and private archival repositories,
plan analysis, and interviews, to produce the report narrative and historic
evaluation for the property. Today, the property is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places.
McDonnell Hall/Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel Historic Structure Report, San
Jose, CA. Architectural Historian. Constructed as a parish church in 1914, the
building moved to its current location in 1953. Here, the building served as a
newly formed Catholic Mission, the Center of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The
property is associated with civil rights activist and labor rights leader Cesar
Chavez, and the mid-20th century Mexican American civil rights movement. Alison
assisted with the research, production, and design recommendations, including
bringing the building back to its appearance during its period of significance,
which required a meticulous analysis of the building’s historic integrity. The
property today is listed as a National Historic Landmark.

Historic YMCA Hotel Preservation Consulting in the Embarcadero, San
Francisco, CA. Senior Architectural Historian, Project Manager. Built in the early
20th century, the building was formerly a YMCA hotel used by young navy men and
is currently a hotel along the waterfront with an adjacent YMCA recreational
center. The hotel was proposing modifications which included rehabilitation work
and reconfiguring the interior lobby space. Alison researched and documented
the interior evolution by reviewing old plans, movies filmed on-location, post
cards, and existing fabric. She established the building’s construction chronology
with a focus on the building’s public spaces at the interior, overseeing the entire
production of the report and created recommendations to update the client’s
proposed plans which included acceptable sensitive modifications to historic
features and recommendations for potential future demolition.
Palo Alto History Museum Historic Preservation Consulting, Palo Alto, CA.
Architectural Historian. The Spanish Revival style Roth Building was the original
location of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. The former medical building is
undergoing a conversion into a local history museum with gallery space,
interpretive areas, and archival and study rooms. Alison assisted with secondary
research efforts of both the medical foundation and the building, upon
modifications to the museum’s scope of work. She conducted a Part 2 Federal
historic rehabilitation tax credit application review which included
recommendation to best comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Historic Preservation.
Half Moon Bay Barn and Jail Museum Historic Resource Evaluation and
Preservation Consulting, Half Moon Bay, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. The
City of Half Moon Bay was working with a local historical society to implement a
history museum at the site of its early 20th century jail and adjacent barn. Alison
conducted an in-depth historic resource assessment then reviewed proposed
plans for buildings and site modifications to accommodate gallery space, offices,
and archival storage. Coordinating with project architects, she assisted with the
creation of recommendations for project compliance with the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Toscano Hotel Preservation Consulting, Sonoma State Historic Park,
Sonoma, CA. Senior Architectural Historian. The two-story wood framed Toscano
Hotel was constructed in the 1850s and is a contributing resource to the Sonoma
Plaza National Historic Landmark District and the Sonoma Plaza National
Register Historic District. Alison conducted a Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
reviews of proposed changes to the interior of the building. Proposed changes
included the conversion of a portion of the building from a hotel saloon museum
display area into a retail concession area for the California State Parks. Project
recommendations included sensitive design solutions to maintain original
features.
