Honorable Stacey Armarto
Mayor, City of Hermosa Beach
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885
RE: Formal complaint against the City of Hermosa Beach for police misconduct and conspiracy
Dear Mayor Armato:
I am submitting a formal complaint against the City of Hermosa Beach for police misconduct and conspiracy in violating my rights as declared in
Article I, Section 28 of the Constitution of California.
During my 2017 campaign for City Council, LT. Landon Phillips knowingly made false, incomplete and misleading statements in a October 18, 2017
Easy Reader article, which effectively ended my run for City Council, and seriously damaging my reputation in our community. His statement “there
was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case” was a lie to cover up police misconduct.
Even with the refinements to the Public Records Request process from the Chris Miller “Standing Room” incident, I still have no records for nearly
an eight-month period from March 16, 2014 to November 10, 2014, and neither the Police Department nor City Prosecutor’s Office will discuss the
details of my case. Court documents list SGT. Ramirez, OFC. McDermott and DET. Smith as witnesses, and I have not been provided the
investigation report from DET. Smith.
The fact the City will not provide nor discuss the records of investigation from DET. Smith only further substantiates my allegation of police
misconduct by the Hermosa Beach Police Department. If there “was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case,” then there should not
be an issue of releasing the case file, and/or discussing the details of the case.
This is a stalking case, not a mutual combat case, and as in most stalking cases the victim is unaware of the stalking until it is too late. On March 15,
2014 at 6:15pm on a patio at Pier Plaza, Thomas “TJ” Powers stalked, ambushed and violent attack me in a premeditated orchestrated assault
involving multiple people. This attack came without warning or provocation and began with a cowardly and dangerous sucker punch while I was
seated, which was followed by a kill shot while I was down and defenseless. As a result of this attack I sustained permanent spinal injuries, and still
endure chronic cervical and thoracic pain. Here is the video of Powers “in fear of his life, and acting in self-defense:” https://youtu.be/quHMaiMv_n0
Based on the evidence and circumstances of this case, the perpetrator’s father Thomas F. Powers formerly of SFPD, contact Police Chief Papa
regarding his son’s felony PC 245(a)(4), and then she conspired with other police officers to report the felonious attack as a mutual combat fight,
and then bury the case from prosecution. The motive for this conspiracy was to prevent revocation of Thomas “TJ” Powers’ Real Estate License.
Over seven months after the attack, Councilman Fangary requested before City Council the Police Chief address this case along with three other
cases. It was only then, the newly contracted Redondo Beach City Prosecutor’s Office filed my case. However I was excluded from any investigation
from the detectives and prosecutors. Additionally material video evidence was suppressed, and there was an arrangement for a summons in lieu of
an arrest warrant for Powers. Also I was purposefully misled as to the original criminal charges, and the subsequent plea bargain. Finally and most
importantly, I was denied my right to giving a victim impact statement at sentencing. Clearly Powers received preferential treatment as a cop’s son.
There is overwhelming evidence to support my allegations, and justify an independent serious internal investigation in accordance with the OIR
Group report, which followed the Chris Miller settlement. I am looking forward to the finding of the truth, clearing my name and reputation of all
the malicious false allegations, and seeing justice done. I believe justice should be harsh, especially for those who denied it to others.
Fiat justitia,

LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE
MONTHLY REPORT FOR MARCH 2023

Hermosa Beach Fire Department developed monthly response reports.After the transition,the
monthly report was updated to include Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)and
McCormick Ambulance information and continues to be uploaded to the website.Staff is currently
reworking the monthly data provided by LACoFD and McCormick based on City Council feedback
and to ensure a complete picture of monthly service activities.The following report provides details
regarding services provided for the month of March 2023.

REPORT 23-0254
Discussion:
The March 2023 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and
McCormick Ambulance (Attachment 1:March 2023 LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance Monthly
Report).
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical services (EMS)to
the Hermosa Beach community.LACoFD has two apparatus stationed at Station 100 including:one
assessment engine (Engine 100)staffed with a Fire Captain,a Fire Engineer,and a Firefighter
Paramedic;and a paramedic squad (Squad 100)staffed with two Firefighter Paramedics.The
paramedic squad (Squad 100)only responds to calls for service exclusively within the City of
Hermosa Beach.It does not provide mutual aid,thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa
Beach.
Each LACoFD apparatus has the capability to provide basic emergency medical care known as Basic
Life Support (BLS)to medical patients.In addition,the paramedic squad has advanced equipment,
including medications,and responds from within the City to address Advanced Life Support (ALS)
calls, such as a stroke or heart attack.
McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los Angeles
County.LACoFD does not conduct patient transport;therefore,unincorporated areas are included in
the fire department transport contracts with various providers.Contract cities are responsible for
negotiating and contracting with a medical transport provider for their community.Within the South
Bay,many of the cities have contracted with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical
transportation including the City of Hermosa Beach.
When LACoFD is dispatched,McCormick Ambulance may also be dispatched as the City’s
emergency medical transportation provider.LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on scene and
continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital.In the case of a BLS level
call,monitoring and care are safely provided by one of the two Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMTs) assigned to the responding ambulance.
LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
which outlines call transfer times and total response times.The NFPA standard for call transfer time
is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of the time.Additionally,responding
units are to be enroute within 60 seconds to EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls.
NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls,responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes
and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time.
The March 2023 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls that had a
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/5/2023Page 2 of 5

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0254
The March 2023 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls that had a
longer transfer time than the NFPA standard.Staff is working with LACoFD to incorporate the South
Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC)call transfer time data,currently provided semi
-annually,into the monthly reports.The RCC call transfer data provides information regarding each
call for service from the time that the call first comes into the 9-1-1 system to the time that it is
transferred to LACoFD.
McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMT’s who can provide and transport BLS patients
independently and,with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance,can also
transport ALS patients.
In March 2023,McCormick Ambulance responded to 58 calls for services within the City of Hermosa
Beach.The March 2023 report indicated that 8 calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses.A Code 3
response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a
presumed life-threatening emergency,which is typically classified as an ALS call.According to the
McCormick Ambulance contract,“response time must not exceed eight (8)minutes,fifty-nine (59)
seconds”for a Code 3 incident.Of the 8 delayed Code 3 calls,the average response time was
thirteen (13)minutes,nineteen (19)seconds with the longest single response time at seventeen (17)
minutes, fifty-one (51) seconds.
There were two delayed Code 2 responses in March 2023.A Code 2 response is one where the
responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency classified as a basic
life support or BLS call.According to the McCormick Ambulance contract,“response time must not
exceed fifteen (15)minutes,zero (0)seconds”for a Code 2 incident.Of the two delayed Code 2
calls,the average response time was twenty-one (21)minutes,twenty-three (23)seconds with the
longest single response time at twenty-five (25) minutes, forty (40) seconds.
Staff reviewed the March 2023 McCormick Ambulance monthly report.The following outlines the
reasons for the delayed responses:
·Multiple Calls: (5) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time;
·Distance:(1)Based on the location the ambulance begins the response to the City,it could
impact the response time.The City contract does not have a unit permanently stationed within
Hermosa Beach;therefore,the responding ambulance often begins the response outside of
the City; and
·Crew Error: (3) The crew responded to the wrong address.
·APOT:(0)Ambulance Patient Offload Time happens when there are three or more
ambulances at a hospital waiting at least 30 minutes to transfer care of the patient from the
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/5/2023Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™80
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0254
ambulances at a hospital waiting at least 30 minutes to transfer care of the patient from the
ambulance crew to the hospital for continuation of care.
·Traffic: (0) The ambulance was delayed by a red traffic light.
·Dispatch Error: (1) The dispatch crew relayed the wrong address.
McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level
performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times,issuing personnel
performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met and releasing personnel
upon continued performance issues.McCormick Ambulance also provides training and continuing
education to staff to improve skills and service delivery.
Although the emergency medical transport units arrived on scene within the allowable timeframe for
48 calls in March 2023,patients were provided timely life-saving emergency medical care on scene
by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics.When LACoFD arrives on scene,it takes
paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the required treatment protocols prior to commencing
transport with McCormick Ambulance.During the patient treatment phase,the requested ambulance
is typically on scene waiting for the paramedics to complete their treatment protocols even if the
ambulance response is delayed.Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance
are committed to providing excellent emergency medical care,customer service,and response to the
residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s
General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

REPORT 23-0226
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of May 9, 2023
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 2023-2024
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1)authorizing the preparation of a
report for the annual levy of assessments within the Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street
Lighting District during Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
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 2023-2024.
Background:
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting Assessment District was created in Fiscal Year
1989-1990,pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.The District assessment funds the
cost of maintaining and operating street lights,traffic signals,and landscaping located within
parkways and medians citywide.The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the
passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and is currently set at $41.45.
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District partially funds the maintenance and
operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street medians and
parkways.The anticipated assessment to be collected for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is $457,649;an
additional $240,835 was approved for transfer from the RTI Undersea Cable Fund to the
Landscaping and Street Lighting District Fund to cover the shortfall for maintaining the citywide
Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
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

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0226
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,Staff presents the engineer’s report to Council for approval and requests 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
2023-2024:
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 setting 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 2023-
2024;
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 2023-2024 and
levies the set assessment per-unit rate for the fiscal year commencing July 1,2023 and
ending June 30, 2024; and
5.The City Council adopts the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 estimated revenue for secured collections
for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District.

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s
General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.However,annually,there is a
shortfall between what is collected through the assessment and what is needed to operate the
Landscaping and Street Lighting District.During the FY 2022-23 budget,City Council approved
covering the shortfall for FY 2022-23 through a transfer from the RTI Undersea Cable Fund.The
shortfall for FY 2023-24 would require a General Fund subsidy as the RTI Undersea Cable Fund
would not have sufficient funds to cover it.
Council approved $25,000 in the FY 2022-2023 Budget to study the District rates and to consider

REPORT 23-0258
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of May 9, 2023
ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN
AMENDMENT TO THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
WITH THE LOS ANGELES REGIONAL AGENCY
(Environmental Programs Manager Doug Krauss)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement with the Los
Angeles Regional Agency (Attachment 1); and
2.Authorize the Mayor to execute the amended and reinstated Joint Powers Agreement and the
City Clerk to attest to the proposed agreement subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
To reflect changes in legislation related to solid waste management,and specifically new organic
waste reduction laws,CalRecycle (California’s Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery)
requires the City’s existing Joint Powers Agreement (JPA)with the Los Angeles Regional Agency
(LARA)be updated and amended.Staff recommends City Council approve the execution of the
amended and reinstated JPA.
Background:
In 2004,CalRecycle approved the formation of LARA for the purpose of meeting the waste reduction
mandates set by State Assembly Bill 939.LARA is a consortium of 18 cities in Southern California.
The JPA with LARA allows the 18 agencies to combine efforts on programs and waste diversion
tonnage to achieve cumulative benchmarks.The City of Hermosa Beach joined LARA in 2005.
Advantages of LARA membership include:
·LARA submits a consolidated report on behalf of its members for all the required Source
Reduction & Recycling Element Programs.
·Cities can focus on program implementation rather than numerical compliance.
·The JPA with LARA allows cities to share costs and conduct new “regional level”base year

REPORT 23-0258
studies, if required.
·LARA provides member cites a unified voice on issues and concerns faced by each member.
·Membership offers network coordination and peer sharing.
·LARA can average waste diversion and disposal over all cities in the agency,smoothing out
fluctuations due to confusion about jurisdictional boundaries or changes in state reporting
formulas.The City of Los Angeles,because of its size,can easily absorb these fluctuations;
they would affect smaller jurisdictions more drastically.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
November 9, 2004 Approved Joint Powers Agreement with LARA
Discussion:
As required by CalRecycle to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 1383,the mandatory
organic waste reduction law,the amended JPA would authorize LARA to report on behalf its member
agencies information related to compliance with organics recycling compliance.The amendment also
reflects recent changes to the waste diversion calculation methodology used by CalRecycle as well
as a number of minor clean-ups to the original JPA language, which is now over twenty years old.
Staff recommends City Council approve the execution of the amended and reinstated JPA.Should
Council decide not to approve the amended agreement,the City would be electing to leave LARA
and would assume primary responsibility for the various reporting requirements.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with the
City’s General Plan. Relevant policy is listed below:
Sustainability and Conservation Element
Goal 6.Hermosa Beach is a low or zero-waste community with convenient and effective
options for recycling, composting, and diverting waste from landfills.
Policies:
·6.1 Franchise agreements.Ensure waste franchise agreements and program offerings
provide progressively higher rates of waste diversion.
·6.10 Evaluate recycling and waste diversion opportunities.Periodically evaluate and
consider new opportunities to achieve greater waste diversion rates
Fiscal Impact:
The City pays approximately $2,000 annually to LARA in membership fees.The amended JPA may

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0258
The City pays approximately $2,000 annually to LARA in membership fees.The amended JPA may
result in a minor increase in these annual dues as the reporting of SB1383-related data will require
more labor by LARA staff.Additionally,leaving LARA would result in a substantial increase in costs to
the City as the City would be solely responsible for the many reporting requirements performed by
LARA.

After completing its deliberations,City Council introduced on first reading a rate increase to $2.00/
$2.50 per hour to align with current parking rates in other nearby coastal cities while maintaining the
demand pricing structure.However,the language in the presented ordinance did not entirely reflect
the current demand-based pricing locations.Staff brought this item back at the March 14,2023 City
Council meeting.There was still agreement that the rates should be raised to $2.00/$2.50 per hour
and there was also agreement that demand-based pricing should be instituted citywide (i.e.,all
meters will implement demand-based pricing between the hours of 8 p.m.and 2 a.m.).At its March
28,2023 meeting,a majority of the City Council reached a consensus on an 8 a.m.start time and
introduced on first reading Ordinance No. 23-XXXX.

Discussion:
For City Council’s consideration of adoption is an ordinance which would eliminate the bifurcated
approach and implement demand-based pricing for all meters in the City regardless of location and
operational hours for meters commencing at 8 a.m. and terminating at 2 a.m. daily (Attachment 1).
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”),the City finds that there is no evidence that the Project
would have a significant effect on the environment.Thus,pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061 (b)(3),it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment.Furthermore,section 15273 of the CEQA Guidelines states that CEQA does not apply to modification of
fees by public agencies for meeting operating expenses or financial needs.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the
City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Mobility Element
Goal 4.A parking system that meets the parking needs and demand of residents,visitors,
and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Policies:
·4.2 Encourage coastal access.Ensure parking facilities and costs of such facilities are not
a barrier to beach access by the public.
·4.3 Reduce impacts.Reduce spillover parking impacts due to employee parking and
seasonal event-based demands.
·4.4 Preferential parking program.Periodically study and evaluate the current inventory ofCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/5/2023Page 5 of 7

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0260
·4.4 Preferential parking program.Periodically study and evaluate the current inventory of
public parking supply and update the preferential parking program.
·4.6 Priority parking.Provide priority parking and charging stations to accommodate the use
of Electric Vehicles (EVs), including smaller short-distance neighborhood electric vehicles.
·4.7 Parking availability.Optimize parking availability through dynamically adjusted pricing
and new technology to manage available spaces for short-term parking use to encourage
rates of turnover that are responsive to fluctuating demands.
·4.8 Ensure commercial parking. Ensure that prime commercial parking spaces are
available for customers and other short-term users throughout the day.
·4.9 Encourage TDM strategies.Encourage use of transportation demand management
strategies and programs such as carpooling,ride hailing,and alternative transportation
modes as a way to reduce demand for additional parking supply.
·4.10 Visitor parking information.Manage information about passes and accessing public
parking lots to facilitate use by longer-distance visitors with limited transportation choices.
·4.11 Consolidated parking facilities.Consider the development of new small-scale parking
structures or shared facilities outside of the Downtown core and incorporate adaptability
standards so that they may serve other uses in the future.
Fiscal Impact:
The recommended increase of meter rates from $1.25 per hour,daily 10 a.m.to 8 p.m.,and $1.50
per hour,daily 8 p.m.to 2 a.m.,to $2.00 per hour and $2.50 per hour to align with current parking
rates in other nearby Coastal cities would result in an estimated annual revenue increase of
$1,838,489.This estimate would change if the hours of operation or locations or both are changed.
The addition of demand-based pricing of $2.50 per hour from 8 p.m.to 2 a.m.to yellow post meters
would result in an estimated annual revenue increase of $174,799.Additional hours of operation
from 8 a.m.to 10 a.m.on all meters would result in an estimated annual revenue increase of
$815,452.
Updated Fiscal Impact Since March 28, 2023 Meeting:
Based on updated meter reports by time,the recommended increase of meter rates from $1.25 per hour,daily 10 a.m.
to 8 p.m.,and $1.50 per hour,daily 8 p.m.to 2 a.m.,to $2.00 per hour and $2.50 per hour to align with current parking
rates in other nearby Coastal cities would result in a revised estimated annual revenue increase of $1,696,823.

REPORT 23-0274
Hermosa Beach Real Time Crime Center-$4 Million
The proposed project would create a Real Time Crime Center (RTCC)for the City of Hermosa
Beach.A RTCC is a technology-driven support center which uses state-of-the-art technology to
provide real time information to officers and detectives working in the field and investigating crimes
that are reported.

Subject: Community Funding Request – City Council Support
Dear Assemblymember Muratsuchi:
On behalf of the Hermosa Beach City Council, I am writing to ask for your support to secure
funding for a Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) in Hermosa Beach. As you know, advanced
technology is revolutionizing how cities locate, prevent, and mitigate crime. Having critical
information in real time will help in streamlining the law enforcement response, while reducing
the possibility of unnecessary encounters with individuals who are not related to the incident.
The development of an RTCC in Hermosa Beach would allow our officers and detectives to
use state of the art technology to obtain real time information and integrate into a South Bay
regional approach to crime prevention, detection, and investigation. The Hermosa Beach
Police Department works closely with its law enforcement partners in the region and this project
would further link our police departments together to share information and solve crimes more
effectively.
The estimated cost of the project is $4,000,000, which would support the complete
development and implementation of the Hermosa Beach RTCC. We understand that the
budget is tight this year and we thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our request and
your continued support for our community.
Should you have any questions regarding the project details, please contact our City
Manager, Suja Lowenthal at suja@hermosabeach.gov or 310-218-0216.

Dear Senator Allen:
On behalf of the Hermosa Beach City Council, I am writing to ask for your support to secure
funding to renovate the Hermosa Beach Community Theatre. After completing a community
theatre market and needs assessment in 2020, it was determined that renovations are required
to maintain the facility.
The Hermosa Beach Community Theatre contributes to the City of Hermosa Beach, the Los
Angeles and South Bay regions, and the state of California’s quality of life and economic
stability. The Community Theatre promotes cultural tourism and serves as an engine for
economic development. This project would ensure that the Community Theatre remains
operational for generations to come and available as a regional performing arts center and
community facility for arts and cultural programming.
The total project budget is estimated at $8,000,000. The entirety of the funding would be for
the design and construction of the proposed renovation project. We understand that the
budget is tight this year and we thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our request and
your continued support for our community. Should this project be supported we would ensure
that the project is completed and that the newly renovated theatre is reopened as soon as
possible.

Dear Senator Feinstein:
On behalf of the Hermosa Beach City Council, I am writing to ask for your support to secure
Federal funding for community projects in the City of Hermosa Beach. Each of the projects
submitted for community funding were selected based on its direct benefit to the
community and the region and we hope that you are able to support one or more of the
following funding requests.
Real Time Crime Center (RTCC)
This project is to create a Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) for the City of Hermosa Beach.
A RTCC is a technology- driven support center which uses state of the art technology to
provide real time information to officers and detectives working in the field and
investigating crimes that are reported. The estimated cost of the project is $4,000,000,
which would support the complete development and implementation of the Hermosa
Beach RTCC.
City Yard
The proposed project is for the design and construction of a new City Yard Facility located
at 555 6th Street. The Hermosa Beach City Yard is a critical facility for all of City operations
and services and houses our Public Works Maintenance crews including Vehicle
Maintenance, Street Maintenance, Traffic Safety, Parks Maintenance, Sewer and
Electrical Maintenance. The current facility is out of date and code compliance and in
need of full replacement. A new City Yard will provide a safe, energy efficient, and
functional area for City Public Works staff and will ensure that the City is able to provide
essential City services. The estimated cost of the project is $15,000,000.
Community Theatre
The proposed project is to complete a necessary renovation of the Hermosa Beach
Community Theatre. After completing a Community Theatre Market and Needs
139
Page 2
Assessment in 2020, it was determined that renovations are required to maintain the facility
as community serving and to transform it into a regional performing arts center. The
Community Theatre is managed by the City as a rentable facility for a diverse variety of
events including live-stage performances, concerts, stand-up comedy, film screenings,
seminars, and award presentations for guests of all ages. Additionally, the City hosts
numerous events in the space including Community Movie Nights. The total project budget
is estimated at $8,000,000.
As a coastal community, Hermosa Beach hosts over one million beach visitors each year
and is a recreational destination and economic generator for the greater Los Angeles
area. With modest General Fund revenue, the City of Hermosa Beach must balance daily
service obligations with long-term needs. Our long-term needs must also be balanced to
be sure that we are properly maintaining our critical infrastructure, safety, and community
engagement. Directed spending through grants and funds, would allow the City to initiate
this essential project and ensure that these essential facilities serving the City are capable
of meeting the needs of the community into the future.

Manager, Suja Lowenthal at suja@hermosabeach.gov or 310-218-0216.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 27, 2023
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Councilmember Francois and Councilmember Saemann
SUBJECT: Julian Katz Naming Subcommittee Report
The City Council subcommittee to consider the naming of the bike corral located
on Hermosa Avenue at 10th Street in honor of late Public Works Commissioner
and bicycling advocate Julian Katz met on April 27, 2023. In accordance
with the Municipal Naming, Monument, and Sponsorship, and Policy
Guide, the subcommittee provides the following detailed analysis and
recommendation regarding the proposed naming:
Proposed Honoree
Mr. Julian Katz and his wife, Mrs. Gila Katz, moved to Hermosa Beach in 1989 where
he became an advocate for safer streets for bicyclists in the South Bay. Led by his
passion, he became the founding member and past president of the South Bay
Bicycle Coalition and a vice president of the Beach Cities Cycling Club.
Mr. Katz was dedicated to serving the Hermosa Beach community and the South
Bay region. Katz, a retired aerospace engineer, served in a number of positions
including eight years on the Hermosa Beach Public Works Commission, from 2006
to 2014, serving as past president of the Hermosa Beach Lawn Blowing Club, and
holding a position on the Hermosa Beach Education Foundation Finance
Committee. He volunteered for the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Park and as a
reader and math mentor at 186th Street Elementary School in Gardena. He was
also honored as Hermosa Beach’s Older American Award winner in 2012.
Mr. Katz passed in June 2018 leaving an indelible mark and legacy in the City
through his commitment to community service and bicycle mobility.
Proposed City Facility/Public Space
The bike corral located in the downtown area on Hermosa Avenue and 10th Street is
the site of four colorful Hermosa Beach branded bike racks and decorative
planters delineating the corral from vehicles on Hermosa Avenue. The bike corral
is uniquely situated along the Julian Katz Bike Route, which identifies the 1.3 mile
path of “sharrows” that runs along the number two lanes of Hermosa Avenue
145
between the border with Redondo and 24th street. Dedication of this shared
roadway area was approved by City Council resolution at its February 12, 2019
meeting.
“The Julian Katz Memorial Bike Route” is identified by signage at four locations
including the entrance to Hermosa near the border with Redondo, at the two
downtown bike corrals on 10th and 13th streets, and at the beginning of the
sharrow lanes on 24th Street. The signage for the 10th street bike corral proudly
hangs above the proposed naming location.
Background
A founding member and past president of the South Bay Bicycle Coalition, Katz
was instrumental in developing the South Bay Bikeway Master Plan, which led to
the construction of the region’s first sharrow lane on Hermosa Avenue. Through his
leadership, he helped unify the Cities of El Segundo, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan
Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Lawndale, and Gardena to develop that plan,
which led to a $250,000 grant from the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Health.
Thanks in part to the urging of Katz and other members of the Bicycle Coalition,
Hermosa approved the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan in 2009. The agreement,
which would eventually join together seven cities, was intended to allow for
cooperation in the design of bike-friendly infrastructure, including bike routes,
dedicated lanes, and “sharrows.”
The Hermosa Avenue sharrows, completed in January 2010, comprised a pilot
project for the master plan, and they proved the viability of the concept for other
parts of the South Bay. In 2015, Hermosa voted to add sharrows on Monterey
Boulevard and Longfellow Avenue. As a result of the Hermosa Avenue
sharrows demonstration project, over 13.8 miles of sharrows and 40 miles of
the bikeways have been installed throughout the South Bay as part of the
Bikeway Master Plan.
Recommendation and Written Statement
The proposed naming of the bike corral located on Hermosa Avenue at 10th street
in honor of the late Julian Katz is appropriate given his commitment to bicycle
mobility, the expansion of bicycle related infrastructure, and the Hermosa Beach
community. The symbolic and commemorative value of naming the bike corral
after this tireless advocate is an enhancement to the City asset.
The identification of the Julian Katz Bike Corral engenders a strong positive image
consistent with the City’s goals and values for complete streets and a multi-modal
transportation system as outlined in the Mobility Element of PLAN Hermosa.

It is a fitting honor to name the bike corral located on Hermosa Avenue at 10th
Street in memory of Julian who traveled everywhere he could by bicycle and
worked tirelessly for years to make Hermosa Beach and the surrounding
communities more bicycle and pedestrian friendly.

Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the Naming or Renaming of a city-owned public
facility or outdoor space, the city will consider whether the proposed name will:
• Engender a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and
values;
• Be appropriate relative to the City Asset’s location and/or history;
• Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations;
• Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued
importance to the city, community, region, or state;
• Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and
enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• Names that have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical

name, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations
from different bodies such as the Planning Commission or the Hermosa
Beach Historical Society.
• Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.
Guidelines
The City Council will consider requests for the Naming of public facilities and
outdoor space whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city
agencies, Civic Organizations, or by members of the community.
City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named in honor of persons who
have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa Beach
in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is warranted
by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major significance. In
assessing this honor, the City Council will take into consideration the
recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable City
Commission(s) or local interest groups.
City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named after individuals or
families who have donated the land or funds for a capital project, particularly if
such Naming is set forth as a condition of the Donation. Additionally, the City
Council may approve the Naming of city-owned land, buildings or facilities based
on an organization or individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that
purpose. The funds from that contribution may be used for any purpose deemed
appropriate by the City Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of
156
5
the contribution. The duration of the name is on a case -by-case basis at the
discretion of the City Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the
contribution approved by the Council.
The names of city-owned land, buildings and facilities shall not normally be
named in honor of individuals when they have previously been named for
another individual. However, if the Council deems it appropriate, they may vary
from the guideline on a case-by-case basis.
When appropriate, parks, trails and facilities can be named after predominant
geographical or physical features of the land. These may include natural features
or man-made features. Different sections of public facilities and outdoor space
may carry names that differ from that of the overall park or facility. This may
include the Naming of individual items in a park or facility such as a meeting room.
However, the guidelines outlined in this guide shall still apply in the selection and
adoption of the name.
Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the Naming of public facilities and outdoor space
will include the following:
1. Submittal Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land, buildings
and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include clear
justification for the request including qualifying information, as outlined
below.
2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the
request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City
Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City

Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a sub-
committee to further assist in the review.
3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present
their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City
Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval,
it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the
individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.

4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the
Naming or Renaming of City-owned land, buildings, and facilities at
regularly scheduled meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final.
a. In the case the request is denied by the Council, no further action is
taken.
b. If the request is approved, staff will begin implementing the Naming
of the public facility or outdoor space through execution of a formal
agreement.
Qualifying Names and Criteria
The review and selection of names will follow an extensive and exhaustive review
of several factors. The following will be considered as part of this review:
• Geographical location of the facility or outdoor space including
descriptive names.
• An outstanding feature of the area (i.e. hill, vegetation).
• Commonly recognized subjects of historical significance such as an event,
person, group, culture, or place.
• A person or group who significantly contributed to the acquisition or
development of the park/facility.
• An individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the
park system as a whole or for the community as a whole.
• A person whose contribution or significant Gift is of a most extraordinary
nature.
• Parks and facilities that are donated to the city can be named by deed
restriction by the Donor.
Additionally, Naming may be considered based on the provision of significant
Funding that underwrites the cost of renovation or construction of city property.
Financial underwriting shall be broadly defined as substantial monetary
contributions that enable the City to acquire, maintain, and/or improve City
Assets. This may include monetary Gifts and/or grants that leverage federal, state
and local Funding for such projects or complete Donation of land.
Renaming
The intent of Naming a public facility or outdoor space is intended for permanent
recognition. Therefore, the Renaming of parks and facilities is strongly
discouraged. Requests for the Renaming or removal of the name of an already
named public facility or outdoor space will be subject to the most careful
examination so as not to diminish the original justification for the name or discount
the value of the prior contributors. Notwithstanding the preceding language, and
158

unless restricted by an agreement with a Donor, City Council has complete
discretion to remove a name or rename a property
MONUMENTS, STATUES + PUBLIC ART
Purpose
To establish formal policies as a guide to the City
Council in considering the placement of a
Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned
land including city facilities and outdoor spaces;
whether and under what circumstances a
desired location would be best suited for the
placement of a Statue, Monument and/or
public art in honor of an individual or family; and
the duration of this placement of a Statue,
Monument and/or public art.
Memorial park benches are not included as part of this policy. These are
administered by the Public Works Department and should be contacted directly
for further details. The Community Development Department oversees
placement of Monuments, Statues and public art on private property.
Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art
on city-owned land including City facilities and outdoor spaces, the city will
evaluate whether the Monument or public art piece:
• Engenders a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and
values;
159
8
• Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations;
• Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued
importance to the city, community, region, state, or nation;
• Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and
enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• The location of the Monument, Statue or public art piece is significant in
some measurable way to the individual or image depicted;
• The individual or image depicted in the art piece have recognizable
geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with
Hermosa Beach. In assessing this type of name, the City Council will take
into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the
Planning Commission or the Hermosa Beach Historical Society.
• Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.
Guidelines
The City Council will consider placement of Statues, Monuments or public art
whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city agencies, Civic
Organizations, or by members of the community.
Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art should have recognizable
geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa
Beach. In assessing this placement location, the City Council will take into
consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable
City Commission(s) or local interest groups. Placement may be in honor of persons
who have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa
Beach in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is
warranted by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major
significance.
Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art in honor of a deceased person
shall generally not take place until after a minimum of one-year waiting period
unless the City Council determines that there are overriding considerations
deviating from this policy guideline. This policy guideline is not intended in any
way to reflect on the merits of any deceased individual who may have been a
prominent civic leader. However, it is felt appropriate to establish some type of
waiting period to ensure that an individual’s accomplishments or contributions will
stand the test of time; and that a decision shall not be made on an emotional
basis immediately following a person’s death.
160
9
A Statue and/or Monument may be named after individuals or families who have
donated the land or funds for the capital project, particularly if such Naming is set
forth as a condition of the Donation. The City Council may approve the
placement of a Statue and/or Monument based on an organization or
individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that purpose. The funds from that
contribution may be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by the City
Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of the contribution. The
duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City
Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the contribution approved by
the Council.
Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art
on city-owned land including city facilities and outdoor spaces will include the
following:
1. Submittal of Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land,
buildings and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include
clear justification for the request including qualifying information, as
outlined below.
2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the
request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City
Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City
Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation. The
Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a sub-
committee to further assist in the review.
3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present
their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City
Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval,
it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the
individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.
4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the
placement of a Statue, Monument or public art on city-owned land
including city facilities and outdoor spaces at regularly scheduled
meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final.
161

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of May 9, 2023
PURCHASE OF VEHICLES FOR
POLICE AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Authorize sole-source purchases of three Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Trucks in a combined
amount of $312,313.59 from dealerships as vehicles become available;
2.Authorize the Director of Public Works to establish a 10 percent contingency in the amount of
$31,231 to accommodate a potential cost increase;
3.Authorize the appropriation of $59,242 from the Equipment Replacement Fund fund balance
to the Public Works Administration and Engineering Division in the Equipment Replacement
Fund; and
4.Authorize the appropriation of $107,764 from the Equipment Replacement Fund fund balance
to the Police Department, Community Services Division in the Equipment Replacement Fund.
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach is committed to providing excellent services to the community.Fulfilling
this commitment relies heavily on the availability of appropriate vehicles for staff to perform their
duties.The Police and Public Works Departments are currently in need of three pickup trucks to
replace older vehicles that have reached the end of their useful service life.
Staff diligently evaluated the City’s Clean Fleet Vehicle Purchasing Policy,recent Council direction to
purchase electric vehicles,and the Police and Public Works Department’s operational needs to select
the most appropriate and cost-effective replacement vehicles that are currently available.Aligned
with the City’s clean fleet goals, staff would replace gasoline-fueled vehicles with electric vehicles.
Purchasing new vehicles has been challenging due to high market demand,which has resulted in
reduced vehicle inventory and ongoing pricing increases.Staff recommends Council approve a sole-
source purchase direct from a dealership(s) as vehicles become available.

REPORT 23-0255
Background:
Police Department
The Police Department’s Community Services Division’s vehicles are scheduled in the City’s
Equipment Replacement Schedule for replacement approximately every five to six years.
The 2005 Ford Ranger,used for meter installation and maintenance,has been in service for
approximately 18 years and the 2007 Ford Ranger,used for animal control,has been in service for
approximately 16 years.The vehicles proposed for replacement have exceeded their useful life.The
2005 and 2007 Ford Ranger trucks have become increasingly problematic and prone to mechanical
failures,with the 2005 Ford Ranger recently experiencing a transmission failure.The overall age and
condition of the vehicles and the lack of modern safety equipment to protect staff no longer support
continuing repairs.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget process,Council approved the replacement of the 2005
Ford Ranger and 2007 Ford Ranger with two gas powered Ford Transit Connect vans.Then at its
May 24,2022 meeting,Council approved the purchase of a 2022 E-Transit Cargo Van and a 2022 F-
150 Lightning in place of the two gas powered vans.
Staff placed an order for a Ford E-Transit Cargo Van and a Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck
through the City’s vendor National Auto Fleet Group in June of 2022,but that order remains unfilled
after nearly 11 months due to high market demand with no foreseeable delivery date.The Police
Department has since reassessed its vehicle needs for the Community Services Division and
determined that a Ford E-Transit Cargo Van is not the most suitable vehicle and recommends
purchase of a second Ford F-150 Lightning in its place.The Ford F-150 Lightning could serve a
broader range of service for the Department including,but not limited to,meter collection,traffic
control, animal control, and parking enforcement.
Public Works
The Public Works Maintenance Division’s 2001 Ford-450 has been in service for approximately 22
years and is scheduled for replacement as it has reached the end of its service life,and no longer
meets the needs of the department.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget process,Council approved the replacement of the 2001
Ford 450 with a Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck.Staff placed an order for Ford F-150 Lightning
Electric Truck through National Auto Fleet Group in August of 2022,however,the price had increased
at that time,due to a surge in demand,to $55,272.31 which exceeded the budget amount of
$46,000.At its September 13,2022 meeting,Council authorized an increased appropriation to cover
the cost increase.The order for the truck with National Auto Fleet Group remains on a waiting list

with no delivery dates for the foreseeable future.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
May 24, 2022 City Council approved the purchase of one Ford E-Transit
Cargo Van, one Ford F-150 Lightning for the Police
Department, Community Services Division.
September 13, 2022 City Council approved the purchase of one Ford F-150
Lightning for the Public Works Department.
Discussion:
The Police and Public Works Departments are scheduled to replace three vehicles,that have long
since exceeded their useful service lives, with Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Trucks.
The City has traditionally purchased vehicles through the National Auto Fleet Group’s master vehicle
contract with Sourcewell.As a participating member agency,the City may take advantage of this
competitively bid contract to expedite the procurement process.
Staff placed orders with National Auto Fleet Group for two of the vehicles in June 2022,and the third
in August 2022,which remain unfilled.The current estimated price of the Ford F-150 Lightning
Electric Truck with National Auto Fleet Group is $52,272.31 each,but for the 2023 base model.Since
the order was initially placed,the 2022 model is no longer available and staff remains on the wait list
for the 2023 model.The pricing for these vehicles is competitive;however,the National Auto Fleet
Group has been unable to fulfill these orders,due to a surge in demand and limited supply of the
base model,and the City remains on a waitlist with no clear delivery date and facing increases in
pricing as time goes on.
Given the growing need to replace aging City vehicles,staff evaluated other options to fill the orders
more quickly,including reaching out to local dealerships to determine availability.Due to the high
market demand,staff has determined that most dealerships are no longer offering the base models
and only have limited availability of higher priced trim levels of the Ford F-150 Lightning in stock,with
estimated pricing ranging between $98,500 and $110,000 each.
The City was able to place one vehicle on a temporary hold at a local dealership,Hermosa Motors,
for $104,104.53,pending approval by Council for staff to proceed.Staff recommends Council
authorize sole-source purchases of three Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Trucks from dealerships as
vehicles become available,pursuant to Chapter 3.12 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code which
lays out the City’s purchasing system based on the amount of the purchase with different procedures
and options depending on the amount of the purchase.

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0255
Section 3.12.140 €exempts from certain formal bidding procedures “[p]urchases made through a
cooperative purchasing program utilizing purchasing agreements maintained by the state,county,or
other public agencies.”This is what the City was relying upon when attempting to purchase through
National Auto Fleet Group’s master vehicle contract with Sourcewell.However,as noted above,this
has proven to be futile.Due to the strong demand and limited supply of the Ford F-150 Lightning
(confirmed by staff’s attempt to solicit numerous dealerships in the area for even one Ford F-150
Lightning)and the City’s increasing need for the vehicle,Section 3.12.070 can be applied for this
initial purchase.
Section 3.12.070 posits that formal procedures shall be dispensed with when an emergency requires
it or when the product can only be obtained from one vendor.If approved,for future Ford F-150
Lightning purchases,City staff would use best efforts to obtain multiple bids.However,based on
staff’s past efforts,it does not appear likely that multiple bids can be obtained for these vehicles.If
necessary,staff may rely upon the alternative bidding procedures provided for in the City’s Municipal
Code for future purchases within the approved budget.

INFORMATION ON CITY REGULATION OF
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES
(Community Development Director Carrie Tai)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file information on the City’s regulation of wireless
communication facilities and provide direction on future regulations should modifications be desired.
Executive Summary:
This report provides a summary of the City’s regulations pertaining to wireless communication
facilities on both private and public property.The City’s ability to regulate wireless communication
facilities is also affected by many Federal and State regulations.The report also provides options for
the City Council for future actions, including future updating of regulations.
Background:
At its March 28,2023 meeting,City Council requested an information item on the regulation of
wireless communication facilities,including Federal,State,and City regulations.This report provides
an overview of current regulations and provides options for future consideration of regulations.
The City adopted regulations for wireless communications on private property in 2001.Since 2009,
however,Federal and State regulations have continually evolved to increasingly limit how local
jurisdictions regulate wireless communications facilities.

Discussion:
Current City Regulations
Private Property; Non-Public Right-of-Way
The City’s Zoning Ordinance (Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code)regulates wireless
communications facilities requirements on private property.The regulations are briefly summarized
as follows:
·Reviewed by the Planning Division of the Community Development Department;
·Requires a Conditional Use Permit,a discretionary application decided upon by the Planning
Commission at a public hearing, and appealable to the City Council;
·Must meet the standards of the zoning district;
·Requires public noticing (500-foot radius for non-residential properties);
·Does not allow signage or advertising;
·Equipment must be located in a building or enclosure;
·Equipment must be shrouded by landscaping or designed to match architecture;
·Exterior must have non-reflective materials and painted to match;
·Screening on wall- or roof- mounted facility to be compatible with building;
·Facility to be placed in centermost location to screen it from street view or adjacent properties;
·Shall not be permitted on residentially-zoned property;
·Shall not use monopoles;
·If facility is within 200 feet of a residential use,the facility must meet setbacks of the zoning
district of such zone; and
·Site selection guidelines take various regulations into consideration including:
-Blending into surroundings; architecturally integrated into the structure;
-Screening camouflaged by topography, buildings, vegetation, etc.;
-Size of the proposed facility;
-Suitable alternatives;
-Preference for publicly-owned structures, co-location, and shared sites;

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0229
and
-Facilities to be located on existing buildings, poles, or support structures.
Public Right-of-Way
Chapter 12.18-Wireless Facilities-provides regulations for wireless communications facilities in the
public right-of-way.These regulations were adopted in 2019 and are largely reflective of Federal and
State regulations governing the City’s regulations of such facilities.These regulations are briefly
summarized as follows:
·Reviewed by the Public Works Department;
·Application and requirements as described in Chapter 12.18.070 of the Municipal Code;
·Requires a “wireless encroachment permit”decided upon by the Public Works Director,and
appealable to the City Manager.The appeal to be considered by a hearing officer appointed
by the City Manager;
·Requires that the applicant provide proof that notice of the application has been mailed to
owners and occupants of real property,and the resident manager for any multifamily
dwelling unit that includes 10 or more units, within 300 feet of the proposed wireless facility;
·Evaluated and decided upon in compliance with State and Federal law (see below sections
pertaining to Federal and State regulations);
·Includes conditions of approval memorializing operational requirements,including,but not
limited to:
-Permit duration of 10 years;
-Maintenance requirements;
-Indemnification;
-Performance bond;
-Must comply with Federal radio frequency (RF) standards;
-Requires agreement and insurance to operate on public property;
-Must comply with the design and development standards; and
-Must comply with conditions o approval per section 12.18.090 of the Municipal Code.
Federal Regulations
While local governments are responsible for siting wireless facilities,their authority has been
increasingly limited by various state and federal laws.Principally,the Federal Telecommunications
Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7)):
·Requires actions on applications to be within a reasonable period of time;
·Provides that local regulations and placement decisions may not prohibit or effectively prohibit
provision of personal wireless services;
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/5/2023Page 3 of 9
powered by Legistar™171
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0229
·Requires that denials must be in writing and supported by substantial evidence;
·Prohibits any consideration of radio frequency (RF)emissions in siting decisions if applicant
meets Federal Commissions Commission (FCC) standards;
·Does not allow unreasonable discrimination among providers of functionally equivalent
services; and
·Provides for expedited appeals to court.
Over the past 15 years,there have been multiple orders undertaken by FCC limiting local regulation
of wireless communications facilities on both private property and the public right-of-way in areas of
processing times, scope of review, and fees, as described in the following sections:
Shot Clocks and Enhanced Remedies (Federal and State)
Since 2009,the FCC has adopted a total of five “shot clocks”or timelines within which to act on
applications for wireless facilities.Shot clocks begin on the date of application submittal,and
consider calendar days,not business days.At the end of the shot clock period,applications are
deemed approved if the City does not make a decision.
2009 Shot Clocks:In 2009,the FCC adopted a Declaratory Ruling,24 FCC Rcd.18994 (rel.Nov.18,
2009),to clarify existing federal law requiring local governments to act on wireless applications within
a reasonable period of time.In that Declaratory Ruling,the FCC established two shot clocks for local
action on wireless facilities applications,a 60-day shot clock for colocations (adding facilities to a
location that already has facilities),and a 150-day shot clock for all other types of wireless
applications.
2012 Shot Clocks (Eligible Facilities Requests):In 2012,Congress adopted a law (codified as 47
CFR Sec.1455)requiring that “Eligible Facilities,”i.e.,applications to modify or add to existing
wireless facilities must be approved by the local jurisdiction.“Eligible Facilities Requests”are those
that modify existing tower or station with no substantial change of the physical dimensions of the
tower,and also include colocation,removal,or replacement of equipment.The City has no discretion
and must approve a qualifying eligible facilities request.In 2014,the FCC adopted an implementing
Order,including height and size criteria and a 60-day shot clock to process these “eligible facilities
requests,” (29 FCC Rcd. 12865).
2018 Shot Clocks (Small Wireless Facilities):On September 26,2018,the FCC adopted a
Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order,33 FCC Rcd.9088 (rel.Sep.27,2018)(the “Small
Cell Order”).The Small Cell Order went into effect in part on January 14,2019,and in part on April
15,2019.Small cell wireless facilities are low-powered cellular facilities that use 3-4 feet tall
antennas and installed on existing infrastructure (buildings or structures). The Small Cell Order:
·Created new shorter (60-day for existing facilities and 90-day for new facilities)shot clocks
for small wireless facilities (as defined in the Small Cell Order);
·Interpreted existing shot clock regulations to require local public agencies to issue all relevantCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/5/2023Page 4 of 9

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0229
·Interpreted existing shot clock regulations to require local public agencies to issue all relevant
permits and authorizations within this period;
·Established a national standard for an effective prohibition related to small wireless facilities
that replaced the existing “significant gap”test adopted by the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; and
·Provided that a failure to act within the applicable timeframe presumptively constitutes an
effective prohibition.
2020 Shot Clock refinements:In 2020,the FCC adopted two new orders seeking to clarify and
modify its rules to further facilitate these types of deployments by increasing height limits,limiting
concealment requirements, and allowing certain new excavations, among other changes.
Deemed Granted Remedy:California adopted Assembly Bill (AB)57 (Gov.Code 65964.1)in 2016,
which was expanded by AB 537 in 2021,creating a “deemed granted”remedy for applicants if the
local government fails to act on an application during the time period allowed by these FCC shot
clocks.This remedy is available for any applications,including small cell wireless facilities,under
these shot clocks other than those proposed for placement on fire department facilities.The law puts
the burden on local governments to respond to deemed granted notices within 30 days of receipt.As
of January 1,2022,there is deemed granted remedy available in California for all five FCC shot
clocks-four under Government Code Section 65964.1 as amended by AB 537 and one under FCC
regulations applicable to certain wireless facilities modifications (47 CFR Section 1.6100).
Tolling Agreements:In certain instances,cities may enter into tolling agreements with wireless
communications facilities applicants to mutually agree to extend shot clock timelines,particularly
when there are circumstances on the applicant side which require additional time.However,cities
may not require applicants to enter into tolling agreements.Absent any tolling agreements,shot
clocks continue to apply.
Decisions to Deny
Jurisdictions are highly regulated as to when and how they can deny applications.Decisions to deny
an application for a wireless communication facility must be produced in writing and be supported by
substantial evidence.For example,jurisdictions must produce specific reasons as to how the facility
does not comply with its regulations.However,those reasons may not prevent the provision of
wireless services or discriminate among different carriers.
Jurisdictions may not impose an “effective prohibition”of wireless communications facilities.An
effective prohibition is one that prevents a wireless carrier from closing a “significant”gap in service
coverage provided by that carrier.As such,wireless carriers must submit gap coverage analyses with
their applications,demonstrating that the subject location in their application is needed to close
service gaps.This gap coverage analysis must demonstrate the extent to which the gap will be
closed.As part of this analyses,the wireless carriers must also submit any alternative locations,City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/5/2023Page 5 of 9

closed.As part of this analyses,the wireless carriers must also submit any alternative locations,
systems,and placement to justify that the proposed location is the least intrusive location while
providing the needed gap closure.Jurisdictions then review these analyses to verify the findings for
gap coverage;if the jurisdiction has comments,the wireless carrier must be provided an opportunity
to reply and response to the comments.
Regulation Based on Radio Frequency (RF) Emissions Prohibited
The health risks associated with the public’s exposure to RF energy has been an area of public
concern particularly in light of the public’s increasing reliance on mobile devices and the proliferation
of mobile technology and its supporting infrastructure.Setting the safety standards for RF emissions
is exclusively the responsibility of the federal government,and the responsible agency is the Federal
Communications Commission (“FCC”).Section 332(c)(7)(B)(iv)prohibits the City from denying a
wireless facility application based on concerns about RF emissions so long as the applicant has
demonstrated that its facilities will comply with FCC standards.
Limits on Design Standards
The Small Cell Order placed limits on aesthetic regulations for small wireless facilities,including
undergrounding.The FCC declared that such requirements will not be preempted if they are
reasonable,no more burdensome than those applied to other types of infrastructure deployments,
and objective and published in advance so that applicants know what aesthetic requirements they
must satisfy to be able to deploy facilities.However,in the August 12,2020 Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals decision discussed above,the Court invalidated certain portions of the FCC’s rules for
aesthetic standards.Now,a city’s aesthetic regulations for small wireless facilities will not be
preempted if they are (1) reasonable (technically feasible); and (2) published in advance.
Ban on Moratoria
On August 2,2018,the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”)adopted a Third Report &
Order and Declaratory Ruling,33 FCC Rcd.7705 (rel.Aug.3,2018)(the “Moratoria Order”),that,
among other things,contained a declaratory ruling prohibiting express and de facto moratoria for all
personal wireless services,telecommunications services and their related facilities under 47 U.S.C.§
253(a)and directed the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Wireline Competition Bureau to
hear and resolve all complaints on an expedited basis.The declaratory ruling in the Moratoria Order
was made effective upon release.This means that there can be no pause in accepting or processing
applications to allow a city to study and address potential issues.
While the City’s regulations for regulating wireless communications facilities have not been updated
since 2001,staff practice abides by the numerous Federal and State laws and regulations that are in
effect and which place various restrictions on local permitting processes.Therefore,while the Federal
and State regulations discussed above are not referred to or codified in the City’s Zoning Ordinance,
the City is nonetheless required to abide by those regulations.

REPORT 23-0229
Limits on Fees
The Small Cell Order also declared that all fees,including permit fees and rental fees for use of
government-owned infrastructure,such as streetlights,must be based on a reasonable
approximation of the local government’s costs,such that only objectively reasonable costs are
factored into those fees,and fees are no higher than the fees charged to similarly situated
competitors in similar situations.The FCC established presumptively reasonable fee levels (called
“safe harbors”)that include:non-recurring fees equal to $500 for a single application for up to five
colocations,plus $100 for each additional colocation,and $1,000 for each new pole.Recurring fees
for attachment to municipal poles are presumed reasonable if equal to $270 per facility,per year,
including the fee for attachment to municipal infrastructure and use of the public rights-of-way.The
Order does allow jurisdictions to charge higher fees if the jurisdiction can justify that those fees reflect
the actual cost of providing service and make an associated finding on the fee resolution adopting the
fee.
Zoning Code Update
The Community Development Department has undertaken a comprehensive review and update to
the Zoning Ordinance since 2019.The draft amendments to the regulations for wireless
communications facilities on private property are intended to align the City’s regulations with Federal
and State standards.
Summary and Conclusion
Local jurisdictions,such as cities,are highly regulated in the manner in which they can regulate
wireless communications facilities.There are regimented timelines and standards under which
application review can be conducted.However,to the degree possible,the City continues to adjust
regulations in order to balance the need for community education and involvement with the
processing of wireless telecommunications facilities in accordance with the law.
General Plan Consistency:
This report has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan.Chapter 7 of the City’s
General Plan Infrastructure element states that telecommunication systems support advanced and
innovative communication methods between residents, businesses, visitors, and the City.
Telecommunications infrastructure and services are critical to businesses for economic growth and
job creation.Residents rely on telecommunications for quality of life,education,research,and access
to health care and government services.Telecommunications services in Hermosa Beach include
cable television,high speed Internet,and wireless and ground-line telephone services.A variety of
private companies provide these services and have infrastructure located throughout the City to
provide consistent and reliable telecommunication services to the community.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council April 24, 2001
SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT 01-1
TO MODIFY THE LIMITATIONS ON ROOFTOP ANTENNAS, SATELLITE
DISHES AND SIMILAR EQUIPMENT THAT EXCEEDS THE HEIGHT LIMIT AND
THE PLACEMENT AND USE OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES.
Recommendation
To adopt the attached ordinance modifying Sections 17.04.040, 17.26.030, 17.28.020, 17.30.020,
and 17.46.240, and adding Section 17.40.170 to the Zoning Ordinance.
Background
On February 27, 2001, the City Council directed staff to initiate the subject amendment to better
regulate for rooftop antennas and satellite dishes, with an emphasis on regulating the visibility as
opposed to bulk of such equipment and to establish standards for the placement and use of wireless
communication facilities.
On April 17, 2001, the Planning Commission approved the subject Ordinance and added a
recommendation to include antenna equipment co-located with public governmental buildings or
schools in the O-S zone.
Analysis
Section 17.46.240 of the Zoning Ordinance regulates antennas, television aerials, satellite dishes
and similar equipment and provides that such equipment is an accessory structure in any zone
and establishes standards for the size, placement and the height limit for such equipment 1
Pursuant to Section 17.46.240, antennas, satellite dishes and similar equipment shall be allowed to
exceed the height limit only to the extent that the surface area of the device on its widest side shall
not exceed 12 square feet of surface area over the height limit. Pursuant to Subsection A.1. any
device designed to receive any electronic signals broadcast from another location is regulated by
this section.
Rooftop Antennas and Satellite Dishes
Section 17.46.240 addresses the issues of bulk and visibility of rooftop antennas and satellite dishes.
However, it does not address the placement of rooftop equipment on existing buildings
nonconforming to height requirements. On buildings nonconforming to height, all antenna or
satellite dish equipment placed on the roof or parapet count toward the twelve (12) square foot area
limitation whether or not it is visible above the existing roofline or parapet wall. Staff believes the
ordinance should be changed so that a device placed on the rooftop of an existing building
nonconforming to the height limit would have the same surface area limitations of conforming
buildings and that measurement of the surface area of the device be applied only to that area which
exceeds the height of the existing roof or parapet wall, whichever is greater as long as it is
adequately screened from view. The result would be to allow such equipment to be located on
178
buildings nonconforming to height while ensuring that it is adequately screened and that it have no
greater visual impact to surrounding properties.
Wireless Communication Facilities
Current zoning regulations do not take into consideration new wireless communication technology.
Section 17.46.240 was approved twenty years ago and was intended to regulate satellite television
dishes on both residential and commercial properties. Wireless communication facilities today not
only receive radiofrequency (RF) signals, but also relay or rebroadcast RF signals they receive,
which results in the need for additional equipment as part of the communication facility generally
located on a roof. The development of new cell phone technology and growth of cell phone use
has created a continuing demand for cell antenna sites. Due to the number of new building permit
applications for such facilities, staff believes that discretionary review should be required for all
future wireless communication facility projects. Currently, such facilities are only subject to
submittal of a site plan and approval of a building permit. Furthermore, because of the commercial
nature of wireless communication facilities, such uses should be limited to the commercial zones
(C-1, C-2 & C-3), open space zones (O-S) co-located with public governmental buildings or
schools, and industrial zones (M-1). Currently such facilities are permitted in all zones as an
accessory use.
Attachment No. 1 provides the suggested changes to address the City Council’s concerns regarding
the placement of satellite and wireless communication rooftop equipment on buildings
nonconforming to height, and new requirements for regulation of wireless communication facilities
including new provisions for application procedures, definitions, site selection, screening, setbacks,
and leasing of public property. Preference in site selection is recommended for public structures,
co-location and shared sites.

The following minimum conditions and standards which apply to the siting of a
wireless communications facility, in addition to any other deemed necessary or appropriate
to ensure compatibility with existing or future uses in the vicinity, may be required:
A. Application Requirements.
1. Each application shall contain a brief narrative accompanied by written
documentation that explains and validates the applicant's efforts to locate the facility in
accordance with the Screening and Site Selection Guidelines set forth in this Section.
2. Each application shall contain a narrative that discloses the exact location
and nature of any and all existing facilities that are owned (including publicly owned
structures), operated or used by the applicant and located within five (5) miles from the
geographic borders of the City of Hermosa Beach.
3. Each application shall contain a narrative and scaled map(s) that precisely
disclose the geographic area(s) within the City of Hermosa Beach that are proposed to be
serviced by the proposed facility, the geographic area(s) bordering the City of Hermosa
Beach, if any, that will be serviced by the proposed facility, the nature of the service to be
provided or purpose of the facility, the reasons, if any, why the applicant cannot locate the
facility outside the City of Hermosa Beach, and the efforts, if any, that applicant has made
to locate the facility outside the City of Hermosa Beach.
4. Notwithstanding any permit that may be granted in accordance with this
Section, the facility shall be erected, located, operated and maintained at all times in
compliance with this Section and all applicable laws, regulations and requirements of the
Building Code, and every other code and regulation imposed or enforced by the City of
Hermosa Beach, the State of California, and the United States Federal Government.
Applicants are separately required to obtain all applicable building and construction
permits that may be required prior to erecting or installing the facility.
5. Each wireless communications carrier applicant shall provide a letter to the
director of community development stating willingness to allow other carriers to co-locate
on their facilities wherever feasible or a written explanation why the subject facility is not a
candidate for co-location.
185
6. Approval of the project is subject to the Planning Commission making a
finding that the proposed site results in fewer or less severe environmental impacts than
any feasible alternative site. The City may require independent verification of this
analysis at the applicant’s expense. The intention of the alternatives analysis is to present
alternative strategies which would minimize the number or size and adverse environmental
impacts of facilities necessary to provide the needed services to the City and surrounding
areas.
B. Design and Development Standards.
1. The facility shall not bear any signs or advertising devices other than
certification, public safety, warning, or other required seals or required signage.
2. Any and all accessory equipment, or other equipment associated with the
operation of the facility, including but not limited to transmission cables, shall be located
within a building, enclosure, or underground vault in a manner that complies with the
development standards of the zoning district in which such equipment is located. In
addition, if equipment is located above ground, it shall be visually compatible with the
surrounding buildings and either (1) shrouded by sufficient landscaping to screen the
equipment from view, or (2) designed to match the architecture of adjacent buildings. If no
recent and/or reasonable architectural theme is present, the Planning Commission may
require a particular design that is deemed by the Commission to be suitable to the subject
location.
3. The facility exterior shall be comprised of non-reflective material(s) and
painted or camouflaged to blend with surrounding materials and colors.
4. Any screening used in connection with a wall mounted and/or roof mounted
facility shall be compatible with the architecture, color, texture and materials of the
building or other structure to which it is mounted.
5. The facility shall be placed to the centermost location of the roof top to
screen it from view from the street and adjacent properties.
6. The facility shall not be permitted on residentially zoned property.
C. Setback Requirements.
The facility shall be considered an accessory structure. If the facility is located
within two hundred (200) feet of a residential use, then the facility shall comply with the
setback requirements for such zone. In all other instances, the extent of compliance with
the setback requirements for the zone in which the facility is located shall be considered, in
accordance with the following guidelines, by the City in connection with its processing of
any facility permit.
D. Screening and Site Selection Guidelines.
In addition to the above requirements the following guidelines shall be considered
by the City in connection with its processing of any facility permit:

A. In General. There shall be a type of encroachment permit entitled a "wireless encroachment permit," which shall be
subject to all of the same requirements as an encroachment permit would under Chapter 12.16 in addition to all of
the requirements of this chapter. Unless exempted, every person who desires to place a wireless facility in the ROW
or modify an existing wireless facility in the ROW must obtain a wireless encroachment permit authorizing the
placement or modification in accordance with this chapter. Except for small cell facilities, facilities qualifying as
eligible facilities requests, or any other type of facility expressly allowed in the ROW by state or federal law, no
other wireless facilities shall be permitted pursuant to this chapter.
B. Exemptions. This chapter does not apply to:
1. The placement or modification of facilities by the city or by any other agency of the state solely for public
safety purposes.
2. Installation of a "cell on wheels," "cell on truck" or a similar structure for a temporary period in connection
with an emergency or event, but no longer than required for the emergency or event; provided, that
installation does not involve excavation, movement, or removal of existing facilities.
C. Other Applicable Requirements. In addition to the wireless encroachment permit required herein, the placement of
a wireless facility in the ROW requires the persons who will own or control those facilities to obtain all permits
required by applicable law, and to comply with applicable law, including, but not limited to, applicable law
governing radio frequency (RF) emissions and all requirements for encroachments under Chapter 12.16.
190
Hermosa Beach, CA | Municipal Code Date Printed: 5/3/2023 | pg. 4
D. Preexisting Facilities in the ROW. Nothing in this chapter shall validate any existing illegal or unpermitted wireless
facilities. All existing wireless facilities shall comply with and receive a wireless encroachment permit, when
applicable, to be considered legal and conforming.
E. Public Use. Except as otherwise provided by California law, any use of the ROW authorized pursuant to this chapter
will be subordinate to the city’s use and use by the public. (Ord. 19-1390 §1 (part), 2019)
12.18.050 Administration.
A. Review Authority. The director is responsible for administering this chapter. As part of the administration of this
chapter, the director may:
1. Interpret the provisions of this chapter;
2. Develop and implement standards governing the placement and modification of wireless facilities consistent
with the requirements of this chapter, including regulations governing co-location and resolution of conflicting
applications for placement of wireless facilities;
3. Develop and implement acceptable design, location and development standards for wireless facilities in the
ROW, taking into account the oning districts bounding the ROW;
4. Develop forms and procedures for submission of applications for placement or modification of wireless
facilities, and proposed changes to any support structure consistent with this chapter;
5. Collect, as a condition of the completeness of any application, any fee established by this chapter;
6. Establish deadlines for submission of information related to an application, and extend or shorten deadlines
where appropriate and consistent with federal laws and regulations;
7. Issue any notices of incompleteness, requests for information, or conduct or commission such studies as may
be required to determine whether a permit should be issued;
8. Require, as part of and as a condition of completeness of any application, that an applicant for a wireless
encroachment permit send notice to members of the public that may be affected by the placement or
modification of the wireless facility and proposed changes to any support structure;
9. Subject to appeal as provided herein, determine whether to approve, approve subject to conditions, or deny
an application; and
10. Take such other steps as may be required to timely act upon applications for placement of wireless facilities,
including issuing written decisions and entering into agreements to mutually extend the time for action on an
application.
B. Appeal.
1. Any person claiming to be adversely affected by the decision of the director pursuant to this chapter may
appeal the director’s decision. The appeal will be considered by a hearing officer appointed by the city
manager. The hearing officer may decide the issues de novo and whose written decision will be the final
decision of the city. An appeal by a wireless infrastructure provider must be taken jointly with the wireless
service provider that intends to use the wireless facility. As Section 332(c)(7) of the Telecommunications Act
preempts local decisions premised directly or indirectly on the environmental effects of radio frequency (RF)
emissions, appeals of the director’s decision premised on the environmental effects of radio frequency
emissions will not be considered.
2. Where the director grants an application based on a finding that denial would result in a prohibition or
effective prohibition under applicable federal law, the decision shall be automatically appealed to the hearing
officer. All appeals must be filed within two (2) business days of the written decision of the director, unless the
director extends the time therefor. An extension may not be granted where extension would result in approval
of the application by operation of law.
191

notification of such planned, nonemergency actions.
14. No Right, Title, or Interest. The permission granted by a wireless encroachment permit shall not in any event
constitute an easement on or an encumbrance against the ROW. No right, title, or interest (including franchise
interest) in the ROW, or any part thereof, shall vest or accrue in permittee by reason of a wireless
encroachment permit or the issuance of any other permit or exercise of any privilege given thereby.
15. No Possessory Interest. No possessory interest is created by a wireless encroachment permit. However, to the
extent that a possessory interest is deemed created by a governmental entity with taxation authority, the
permittee acknowledges that the city has given to the permittee notice pursuant to California Revenue and
Taxation Code Section 107.6 that the use or occupancy of any public property pursuant to a wireless
encroachment permit may create a possessory interest which may be subject to the payment of property
taxes levied upon such interest. Permittee shall be solely liable for, and shall pay and discharge prior to
delinquency, any and all possessory interest taxes or other taxes, fees, and assessments levied against
permittee’s right to possession, occupancy, or use of any public property pursuant to any right of possession,
occupancy, or use created by this permit.
16. General Maintenance.
196
Hermosa Beach, CA | Municipal Code Date Printed: 5/3/2023 | pg. 10
a. The site and the facility, including, but not limited to, all landscaping, fencing, and related transmission
equipment, must be maintained in a neat, safe and clean manner and in accordance with all approved
plans. All graffiti on facilities must be removed at the sole expense of the permittee within forty-eight (48)
hours after notification from the city. The permittee shall ensure that all equipment and other
improvements to be constructed and/or installed in connection with the approved plans are maintained
in a manner that is not detrimental or injurious to the public health, safety, and general welfare and that
the aesthetic appearance is continuously preserved, and substantially the same as shown in the approved
plans at all times relevant to the permit.
b. The permittee shall repair, at its sole cost and expense, any damage including, but not limited to,
subsidence, cracking, erosion, collapse, weakening, or loss of lateral support to city streets, sidewalks,
walks, curbs, gutters, trees, parkways, street lights, traffic signals, improvements of any kind or nature, or
utility lines and systems, underground utility line and systems (water, sewer, storm drains, gas, oil,
electrical, etc.) that result from any activities performed in connection with the installation and/or
maintenance of a wireless facility in the ROW. The permittee shall restore such areas, structures and
systems to the condition in which they existed prior to the installation or maintenance that necessitated
the repairs. In the event the permittee fails to complete such repair within the number of days stated on
a written notice by the director the city will engage resources at the permittee’s sole cost and expense to
complete such repairs. Such time period for correction shall be based on the facts and circumstances,
danger to the community and severity of the disrepair. Should the permittee not make said correction
within the time period allotted the director shall cause such repair to be completed at permittee’s sole
cost and expense.
c. The permittee shall keep the site area free from all litter and debris at all times. Each year after the
permittee installs the wireless facility, the permittee, if requested by the director, shall submit a written
report to the satisfaction of the director, documenting the then-current site condition.
17. RF Exposure Compliance. All facilities must comply with all standards and regulations of the FCC and any other
state or federal government agency with the authority to regulate RF exposure standards. After transmitter
and antenna system optimization, but prior to unattended operations of the facility, the permittee or its
representative must conduct on-site post-installation RF emissions testing to demonstrate actual compliance
with the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin 65 RF emissions safety rules for general
population/uncontrolled RF exposure in all sectors. For this testing, the transmitter shall be operating at
maximum operating power, and the testing shall occur outwards to a distance where the RF emissions no
longer exceed the uncontrolled/general population limit.
18. Testing. Testing of any equipment shall take place on weekdays only, and only between the hours of 8:30 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m., except that testing is prohibited on holidays that fall on a weekday. In addition, testing is
prohibited on weekend days.
19. Modifications. No changes shall be made to the approved plans without review and approval in accordance
with this chapter.
20. Agreement with City. If not already completed, the permittee shall enter into the appropriate agreement with
the city, as determined by the city, prior to constructing, attaching, or operating a facility on municipal
infrastructure. This permit is not a substitute for such agreement.
21. Conflicts with Improvements. For all facilities located within the ROW, the permittee shall remove or relocate,
at its expense and without expense to the city, any or all of its facilities when such removal or relocation is
deemed necessary by the city by reason of any change of grade, alignment, or width of any ROW, for
installation of services, water pipes, drains, storm drains, power or signal lines, traffic control devices, ROW
improvements, or for any other construction, repair, or improvement to the ROW.
197
Hermosa Beach, CA | Municipal Code Date Printed: 5/3/2023 | pg. 11
22. Abandonment. If a facility is not operated for a continuous period of six (6) months, the wireless
encroachment permit and any other permit or approval therefor shall be deemed abandoned and terminated
automatically, unless before the end of the six (6) month period (a) the director has determined that the
facility has resumed operations, or (b) the city has received an application to transfer the permit to another
service provider. No later than thirty (30) days from the date the facility is determined to have ceased
operation or the permittee has notified the director of its intent to vacate the site, the permittee shall remove
all equipment and improvements associated with the use and shall restore the site to its original condition to
the satisfaction of the director. The permittee shall provide written verification of the removal of the facilities
within thirty (30) days of the date the removal is completed. If the facility is not removed within thirty (30)
days after the permit has been discontinued pursuant to this subsection, the site shall be deemed to be a
nuisance, and the city may cause the facility to be removed at permittee’s expense or by calling any bond or
other financial assurance to pay for removal. If there are two (2) or more users of a single facility or support
structure, then this provision shall apply to the specific elements or parts thereof that were abandoned, but
will not be effective for the entirety thereof until all users cease use thereof.
23. Encourage Co-location. Where the facility site is capable of accommodating a co-located facility upon the same
site in a manner consistent with the permit conditions for the existing facility, the owner and operator of the
existing facility shall allow co-location of third-party facilities, provided the parties can mutually agree upon
reasonable terms and conditions.
24. Records. The permittee must maintain complete and accurate copies of all permits and other regulatory
approvals issued in connection with the facility, which includes without limitation this approval, the approved
plans and photo simulations incorporated into this approval, all conditions associated with this approval and
any ministerial permits or approvals issued in connection with this approval. In the event that the permittee
does not maintain such records as required in this condition or fails to produce true and complete copies of
such records within a reasonable time after a written request from the city, any ambiguities or uncertainties
that would be resolved through an inspection of the missing records will be construed against the permittee.
25. Attorney’s Fees. In the event the city determines that it is necessary to take legal action to enforce any of
these conditions, or to revoke a permit, and such legal action is taken, the permittee shall be required to pay
any and all costs of such legal action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the city, even if the
matter is not prosecuted to a final judgment or is amicably resolved, unless the city should otherwise agree
with permittee to waive said fees or any part thereof. The foregoing shall not apply if the permittee prevails in
the enforcement proceeding.
26. The permittee is responsible for obtaining power to the facility and for the cost of electrical usage.
27. Failure to comply with the city’s adopted noise standard after written notice and opportunity to cure have
been given shall be grounds for the city to revoke the permit.
28. The permittee shall remove all nonoperational equipment from any structure on which it installs new
equipment under the permit.
B.Eligible Facilities Requests. In addition to the conditions provided in this section and any supplemental conditions
imposed by the director or hearing officer as the case may be, all permits for an eligible facility request granted
pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to the following additional conditions, unless modified by the approving
authority:
1. Permit Subject to Conditions of Underlying Permit. Any permit granted in response to an application qualifying
as an eligible facilities request shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the underlying permit.
2. No Permit Term Extension. The city’s grant or grant by operation of law of an eligible facilities request permit
constitutes a federally mandated modification to the underlying permit or approval for the subject tower or
base station. Notwithstanding any permit duration established in another permit condition, the city’s grant or
grant by operation of law of a eligible facilities request permit will not extend the permit term for the
198
Hermosa Beach, CA | Municipal Code Date Printed: 5/3/2023 | pg. 12
underlying permit or any other underlying regulatory approval, and its term shall have the same term as the
underlying permit or other regulatory approval for the subject tower or base station.
3. No Waiver of Standing. The city’s grant or grant by operation of law of an eligible facilities request does not
waive, and shall not be construed to waive, any standing by the city to challenge Section 6409(a) of the
Spectrum Act, any FCC rules that interpret Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act, or any modification to Section
6409(a) of the Spectrum Act.
C.Small Cell Facilities Requests. In addition to the conditions provided in this section and any supplemental conditions
imposed by the director or hearing officer, as the case may be, all permits for a small cell facility granted pursuant
to this chapter shall be subject to the following condition, unless modified by the approving authority:
1. No Waiver of Standing. The city’s grant of a permit for a small cell facility request does not waive, and shall not
be construed to waive, any standing by the city to challenge any FCC orders or rules related to small cell
facilities, or any modification to those FCC orders or rules. (Ord. 19-1390 §1 (part), 2019)
12.18.100 Breach–Termination of permit.
A. For Breach. A wireless encroachment permit may be revoked for failure to comply with the conditions of the permit
or applicable law. Upon revocation, the wireless facility must be removed within thirty (30) days; provided, that a
support structure owned by the city, a utility, or another entity authorized to maintain a support structure in the
ROW need not be removed, but must be restored to its prior condition, except as specifically permitted by the city.
All costs incurred by the city in connection with the revocation and removal shall be paid by entities who own or
control any part of the wireless facility.
B. For Installation without a Permit. A wireless facility installed without a wireless encroachment permit (except for
those exempted by this chapter) must be removed within thirty (30) days of notification by the city; provided, that
a support structure owned by the city, a utility, or another entity authorized to maintain a support structure in the
ROW need not be removed, but must be restored to its prior condition, except as specifically permitted by the city.
All costs incurred by the city in connection with the revocation and removal shall be paid by entities who own or
control any part of the wireless facility.
C. Violation. Any violation of this chapter will be subject to the same penalties as a violation of Chapter 12.16. (Ord.
19-1390 §1 (part), 2019)
12.18.110 Infrastructure controlled by city.
The city, as a matter of policy, will negotiate agreements for use of municipal infrastructure. The placement of wireless
facilities on those structures shall be subject to the agreement. The agreement shall specify the compensation to the city
for use of the structures. The person seeking the agreement shall additionally reimburse the city for all costs the city
incurs in connection with its review of, and action upon the person’s request for, an agreement. (Ord. 19-1390 §1 (part),
2019)
12.18.120 Nondiscrimination.
In establishing the rights, obligations and conditions set forth in this chapter, it is the intent of the city to treat each
applicant or ROW user in a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory manner, to the extent required by law, and with
considerations that may be unique to the technologies, situation and legal status of each particular applicant or request
for use of the ROW. (Ord. 19-1390 §1 (part), 2019)

addition to any other deemed necessary or appropriate to ensure compatibility with existing or future uses in the
vicinity, may be required:
A. Application Requirements.
1. Each application shall contain a brief narrative accompanied by written documentation that explains and
validates the applicant’s efforts to locate the facility in accordance with the Screening and Site Selection
Guidelines set forth in this Section.
2. Each application shall contain a narrative that discloses the exact location and nature of any and all existing
facilities that are owned (including publicly owned structures), operated or used by the applicant and located
within five (5) miles from the geographic borders of the City of Hermosa Beach.
3. Each application shall contain a narrative and scaled map(s) that precisely disclose the geographic area(s)
within the City of Hermosa Beach that are proposed to be serviced by the proposed facility, the geographic
area(s) bordering the City of Hermosa Beach, if any, that will be serviced by the proposed facility, the nature of
the service to be provided or purpose of the facility, the reasons, if any, why the applicant cannot locate the
facility outside the City of Hermosa Beach, and the efforts, if any, that applicant has made to locate the facility
outside the City of Hermosa Beach.
4. Notwithstanding any permit that may be granted in accordance with this Section, the facility shall be erected,
located, operated and maintained at all times in compliance with this Section and all applicable laws,
regulations and requirements of the Building Code, and every other code and regulation imposed or enforced
by the City of Hermosa Beach, the State of California, and the United States Federal Government. Applicants
are separately required to obtain all applicable building and construction permits that may be required prior to
erecting or installing the facility.
5. Each wireless communications carrier applicant shall provide a letter to the director of community
development stating willingness to allow other carriers to co-locate on their facilities wherever feasible or a
written explanation why the subject facility is not a candidate for co-location.
6. An RF Environmental Evaluation Report must be prepared by the applicant indicating that the proposed
wireless communications facility meets FCC regulations and standards for construction, maintenance and
operations. Ten days after installation and every two years thereafter, the telecommunications service
provider must submit a certification report, attested to by a licensed engineer expert in the field of RF
emissions, that the facility is compliant with the applicable FCC regulations for RF emissions.
7. Approval of the project is subject to the Planning Commission making a finding that the proposed site results
in fewer or less severe environmental impacts than any feasible alternative site. The City may require
200
Hermosa Beach, CA | Municipal Code Date Printed: 5/3/2023 | pg. 2
independent verification of this analysis at the applicant’s expense. The intention of the alternatives analysis is
to present alternative strategies which would minimize the number or size and adverse environmental impacts
of facilities necessary to provide the needed services to the City and surrounding areas.
B. Design and Development Standards.
1. The facility shall not bear any signs or advertising devices other than certification, public safety, warning, or
other required seals or required signage.
2. Any and all accessory equipment, or other equipment associated with the operation of the facility, including
but not limited to transmission cables, shall be located within a building, enclosure, or underground vault in a
manner that complies with the development standards of the zoning district in which such equipment is
located. In addition, if equipment is located above ground, it shall be visually compatible with the surrounding
buildings and either (1) shrouded by sufficient landscaping to screen the equipment from view, or (2) designed
to match the architecture of adjacent buildings. If no recent and/or reasonable architectural theme is present,
the Planning Commission may require a particular design that is deemed by the Commission to be suitable to
the subject location.
3. The facility exterior shall be comprised of non-reflective material(s) and painted or camouflaged to blend with
surrounding materials and colors.
4. Any screening used in connection with a wall mounted and/or roof mounted facility shall be compatible with

residential use, then the facility shall comply with the setback requirements for such zone. In all other instances,
the extent of compliance with the setback requirements for the zone in which the facility is located shall be
considered, in accordance with the following guidelines, by the City in connection with its processing of any facility
permit.
D. Screening and Site Selection Guidelines.
In addition to the above requirements the following guidelines shall be considered by the City in connection with its
processing of any facility permit:
1. The extent to which the proposed facility blends into the surrounding environment or is architecturally
integrated into a concealing structure, taking into consideration alternate sites that are available.
2. The extent to which the proposed facility is screened or camouflaged by existing or proposed new topography,
vegetation, buildings, or other structures.
3. The total size of the proposed facility, particularly in relation to surrounding and supporting structures.
4. The availability of suitable alternative locations for the facility.
5. Preference shall be given to facilities located on publicly owned structures, co-location and shared sites.
6. Preference shall be given to sites which are not located along primary street frontage, front yard areas or
adjacent to residential uses.
7. Whenever possible, wireless communication facilities should be located on existing buildings, existing poles, or
other existing support structures.
201
Hermosa Beach, CA | Municipal Code Date Printed: 5/3/2023 | pg. 3
E. Lease of public property.
1. Any lease of City property for the purpose of erecting a wireless communication facility shall require a
negotiated lease agreement or other written license granted by the City. The existence of a lease agreement
or license shall not relieve the applicant of any obligations to obtain appropriate permits as required by this
section.
2. The City Council, by resolution following a public hearing, may approve a list of sites located on existing City
property or within the public rights-of-way which are approved for major facilities. Each site shall include a
description of permissible development and design characteristics, including but not limited to maximum
height requirements. The City shall make such resolution available to all persons upon request. The approved
list of locations may be subsequently amended by the City Council by resolution from time to time.

requirements of this section following an effective date of the ordinance codified in this section may be
approved subject to a Conditional Use Permit and any additional or different requirements made applicable by
this section.
All leases of any City property that are pre-approved in accordance with the requirements of this section shall
be nonexclusive. The operator of a facility located on such public property shall make the supporting structure
of the facility available to any other provider wishing to co-locate to the extent technically feasible. (Ord. 01-

Landscape and Street Lighting District Assessment Adjustment (mail-in
election authorization)
Initiated by: Council Direction Jul. 9, 2019
Public Works Director To be included in Revenue
Strategy Study Session (March
3, 2022). PW staff has funding
to prepare an assessment
adjustment study and will
advance that effort – it is
anticipated that the study will
take approximately 2 to 3
months to complete. If council
agrees to advance the
adjustment, it will need to go to
a city-wide ballot.
The annual assessment is
required to go to council each
year for approval and may need
to go to council separately
before the ballot vote. It was
last approved at the 7/13/2021
council meeting.

Consideration of licensing agreement/fees for use of City logo
Initiated by: Council Direction Jun. 9, 2020
City Attorney The City will develop a
licensing agreement for
commercial uses of the City
logo as part of a comprehensive
211
6
Administrative Memorandum
(AM) on City Branding and
Logo Use by City Staff. City
staff will begin drafting the
AM after finalizing the City’s
style guide and filing its “Intent
to Use” trademark application
for the City logo with the
USPTO. As part of developing
a Licensing Agreement for the
Commercial Use of the City
Logo, staff will establish a
process for reviewing and
handling these requests. This
process will likely include the
negotiation of royalties and as
well as the preparation of a
staff report to obtain Council
approval to enter into the
agreement. Only once after the
City receives the issuance of a
Notice of Allowance from the
USPTO can it begin approving
applications for commercial
uses of the logo.
