all commercially zoned property into three classifications: C-1 "Limited
Business and Residen tia1tt; C-2 ''General Commercial Districtn; and C-3
''General and Highway Commercial District, 1t ~finds its interpreted intent to
be that the C-1 classification would be businesses which would be located
close to and adjoining residential property. Therefore, the businesses
should be types that are oper~ted primarily in daylight hours and close at
a reasonable and normal hour in the evening, compatible with the residential
nature of the area. The activity and noise of conducting these types of
businesses woul.d be moderate and in keeping with the surr ounding residential
nei ghborhood. It w~s the intent of this Planning Commission in allowing
cafes i n a residential zone ·to sei·ve beer and wine in conjunction with the
food service, the primary use being the serving of food, and the beer and
wine sales incidental to the operation, and to cater primarily to the local
residents and not to the general transient trade, as exampled by the cafes
• th beer licenses that we;re in existence at the time the C-1 zone was
:tablished. Restaurants woul.d be so designed and conducive to attract the
fam.ily .... type patronage-~ all_ service to ~e either from a table or booth, with
no bar service, no enterta1.nrne11t or noise factors to be conducted therein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVE~ that a copy of said resolution be forwarded to the •
City council of ~he City of.Hermosa Beach, and if approved by said Council,
