On March 11, 2014, Joseph Derhake, property owner, applied for a General Plan Land Use Element, Land Use Map amendment 14-1 from General Commercial (GC) to Low Density Residential (LD) and a Zoning Map amendment 14-1 from C-3 (General Commercial) to R-1 (Single Family Residential) on property comprising approximately 7,682 square feet located at 1222, 1226, 1228, and 1230 Corona Street. SECTION 2. Pursuant to Municipal Code, Chapter 17.66, on August 19, 2014 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and adopted Resolution 14-19 recommending approval of the proposed amendment. On September 23, 2014 the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider said amendment, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Council. SECTION 3. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, an Initial Study and Negative Declaration were prepared and it was determined that no significant impacts on the environment would result from the project. The documents were circulated for public review from July 3 to August 2, 2014 and considered by the Planning Commission on August 19, 2014. The Negative Declaration prepared for this project reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis. The City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence Page 1 of 3 14-6919 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ?R that the project would have a significant impact on the environment as indicated in the initial study and adopts the Negative Declaration. SECTION 4. Based on the staff report, testimony, the record of decision of the Planning Commission, and evidence received, both oral and written, the City Council finds the amendment is in the public interest: • The subject property is part of a grouping of parcels each of which have limited commercial potential, especially given lot size, configuration and parking requirements. • Redesignation of the subject parcels would still maintain a depth of commercial parcels similar to various other locations along the highway corridors. • While the depth (frontage) of the commercially designated land opposite the project site on Corona Street occupied by church/preschool uses is consistent with the commercial frontage of the block that includes the subject site, church/preschool uses are typically found in residential zones and are not commercial uses. • While the proposal will reduce the amount of commercially zoned land, the subject parcels have been in residential use for many years and therefore the proposal will not decrease the existing commercial uses in the area. • Since an application was approved in July 2014 to develop the adjacent vacant lots at 1081-1087 Aviation Blvd. for a small commercial use, it appears the potential to aggregate the Aviation frontage lots with the subject site into one larger commercial development will be significantly reduced for the life of that building. • Commercial viability of the subject site for an individual development may be limited due to lack of commercial street frontage and visibility such that development for retail uses or other uses that generate sales or similar revenues is not likely. SECTION 5. Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves of a General Plan Land Use Element, Land Use Map amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Low Density Residential (LD) as shown in Exhibit A and a Zoning Map amendment from C-3 (General Commercial) to R-1 (Single Family Residential) as shown in Exhibit B attached hereto.

To the extent permitted by law, permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Hermosa Beach, its City Council, its officers, employees and agents (the "indemnified parties") from and against any claim, action, or proceeding brought by a third party against the indemnified parties and the applicant to attack, set aside, or void any approval for this project authorized by the City, including (without limitation) reimbursing the City its actual attorney's fees and costs in defense of the litigation.

The permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney's fees which the City may be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this grant.
