WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California each year proposes, passes, and has signed into law a number of bills addressing a range of housing issues; and WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California does not allow sufficient time
between each legislative cycle to determine if the legislation is successful in bringing about the
change for the State of California’s housing issues; and WHEREAS, the majority of these bills usurp the authority of local jurisdictions to determine for themselves the land use policies and practices that best suit each city and its
residents and instead impose mandates that do not take into account the needs and differences
of jurisdictions throughout the State of California; and WHEREAS, the ability of local jurisdictions to determine for themselves which projects require review beyond a ministerial approval; what parking requirements are appropriate for
various neighborhoods within their jurisdiction; what plans and programs are suitable and practical for each community rather than having these decisions imposed upon cities without regard to the circumstances of each individual city; and what zoning should be allowed for residential properties is a matter of great import to the City of Hermosa Beach among other items related to local zoning and housing issues; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of the City of Hermosa Beach feels strongly that our local government is best able to assess the needs of our community and objects to the proliferation of State legislation that deprives us of that ability;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City of Hermosa Beach supports ACA 7, introduced by Assembly Member Muratsuchi on March 16, 2021 and opposes State of California legislation that directly
impacts and interferes with the ability of cities to control their own destiny through use of the zoning
authority that has been granted to them. SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution
and shall cause this resolution to be entered into the book of original resolutions.
RESOLUTION NO. 21-7282
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR ACTIONS TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN LOCAL AUTHORITY AND CONTROL AS RELATED TO LOCAL ZONING AND HOUSING ISSUES
