CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
RESOLUTION NO. 23-7407
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO ESTABLISH
FEES FOR THE LAND VALUE RECAPTURE PROGRAM FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING
WHEREAS, at its December 12, 2023, City Council adopted an ordinance to
add Section 17.39.050 to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, to establish the
Land Value Recapture Program for affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the City produced an analysis prepared by a professional
services firm with expertise in real estate and development to justify the fees
associated with the Land Value Recapture Program; and
WHEREAS, the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element Sites Inventory identifies
sites that may be used to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA) allocation. The City’s RHNA allocation consists of over 60 percent of units
in the very low and low income categories; and
WHEREAS, due to lack of available residentially zoned land, most of the sites
in the Sites Inventory are on non-residentially zoned sites; and
WHEREAS, the City must amend the zoning in order to allow for residential
or mixed-use development on non-residentially zoned sites; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Housing Element includes strategies to facilitate the
creation of affordable housing, including very low, low, and moderate income
units; and
WHEREAS, there are currently no affordable housing units in the City.
WHEREAS, as a part of the rezoning effort, the City wishes to capture land
value associated with the zoning amendments which enable residential
development on non-residentially zoned sites; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with California Government Code 66001, the City
Council finds:
1. The purpose of the fee (if applicable) is to create much needed
affordable residential units in the City.
2. Any fees paid would be to fund the creation of affordable residential
units and any associated services required by those units (open
space, residential amenities, etc).

3. The amount of the fee is calculated to be the equivalent cost of
creating affordable residential units on-site, on non-residentially
zoned properties that now have the ability to include residential
development. There is a reasonable relationship to requiring
properties that can now include residential development (and may
be the bulk of the new residential units coming online in the City) to
offset the lack of affordable units in each project with the fee; and
4. The City has an established need for affordable housing, as
supported by the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of the Land Value Recapture fee is statutorily
exempt pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines section 15378 (b)(4), which provides that CEQA does not apply
to the creation of governmental funding mechanisms that do not involve a
commitment to a particular project which may result in a significant impact to the
environment. The fee does not identify or permit any specific future project or
projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. City Council hereby amends the City’s Master Fee Schedule to
establish a Land Value Recapture Fee (Tier 1) of $76 per square foot for the
following:
1) Development projects on properties with a minimum density of 4 units or
fewer and proposing less than 1 dwelling unit of affordable (very-low,
low, or moderate income) housing.
SECTION 2. City Council hereby amends the City’s Master Fee Schedule to
establish a Land Value Recapture Fee (Tier II) of $104 per square foot for
development projects on properties with a minimum density of 5 units or more
proposing less than 15 percent very-low income, 15 percent low income, or 25
percent moderate-income units.
