RESOLUTION NO. 97-5857
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TO SUSTAIN THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO
APPROVE A PARIONNG PLAN FOR A REDUCED PARIING REQUIREMENT AND TO
ACCEPT SET ASIDE FUNDS IN -LIEU OF PROVIDING REQUIRED PARKING TO
ALLOW OUTDOOR DINING ON LOWER PIER AVENUE AND ADOPTION OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on May 29, 1997, to reconsider the
decision of the Planning Commission and to receive oral and written testimony regarding the
subject Parking Plan and made the following findings:
A. In order to effectively implement the outdoor dining portion of the City's Downtown
Improvement Project the City is proposing to satisfy parking requirements for all potential
outside dining on lower Pier Avenue (west of Hermosa Avenue) on a district -wide basis.
B. The parking requirement for the potential use of 3,300 square feet of the newly widened
sidewalk area is 22 spaces, based on the parking requirement for restaurant use in the
downtown area. Also, pursuant to Section 17.44.210 Parking Plans and Section 17.44.220
Consolidated Parking, it is appropriate to reduce the applicable ratio for the subject outside
dining to 1 space per 250 square feet resulting in a requirement of 13 spaces based on the
following factors:
• The unique and seasonal nature of the proposed outdoor restaurant uses, which are
ancillary to the primary indoor restaurant use,
• The distinctly pedestrian nature of the lower Pier Avenue and its close proximity to a
regional bike path
• Availability of public parking areas within close proximity to Pier Avenue and the
shared parking it offers for the variety of commercial uses in the downtown district;
C. Accepting set -aside funds for the required 13 spaces in lieu of providing any additional
parking is appropriate for the proposed use within the downtown vehicle parking district,
and consistent with Section 17.44.190 of the Zoning Ordinance;
D. The City Council concurs with the Planning Commission and the Staff Environmental
Review Committee's recommendation, based on their environmental assessment/initial
study, that the outdoor dining program, including this Parking Plan, and amendments to
