CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
RESOLUTION NO. RES-24-7423
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO ASSEMBLY BILL 2560
(ALVAREZ), SENATE BILL 1077 (BLAKESPEAR), SENATE BILL 1092
(BLAKESPEAR), AND SENATE BILL 951 (WIENER)
WHEREAS, The legislature of the State of California each year proposes,
passes, and has signed into law a number of bills addressing a range of housing
issues; and
WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California does not allow sufficient
time between each legislative cycle to determine if the legislation is successful in
bringing about the change for the State of California’s housing issues; and
WHEREAS, the majority of these bills usurp the authority of local jurisdictions
to determine for themselves the land use policies and practices that best suit
each city and its residents and instead impose mandates that do not take into
account the needs and differences of jurisdictions throughout the State of
California; and
WHEREAS, the ability of local jurisdictions to determine for themselves which
projects require review beyond a ministerial approval; what parking requirements
are appropriate for various neighborhoods within their jurisdiction; what plans and
programs are suitable and practical for each community rather than having
these decisions imposed upon cities without regard to the circumstances of each
individual city; and what zoning should be allowed for properties in the Coastal
Zone is a matter of great importance of the City of Hermosa Beach among other
items related to local zoning and housing issues;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach feels strongly that
our local government is best able to assess the needs of our community and
objects to the proliferation of State legislation that deprives us of that ability;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Page 2 of 2 RES-24-7423
SECTION 1. The City of Hermosa Beach is opposed Assembly Bill 2560,
Senate Bill 1077, Senate Bill 1092, and Senate Bill 951.
SECTION 2. The City of Hermosa Beach is opposed to the current practice
of the legislature of the State of California of continually proposing and passing
multitudes of bills that directly impact and interfere with the ability of cities to
control their own destiny through use of the zoning authority that has been
granted to them.
SECTION 3. The City of Hermosa Beach will explore various ways to protect
the ability of cities to retain local control over zoning as each individual city within
the State of California is best suited to determine how the zoning in their city
should be allocated in order to meet the housing needs of the community-
particularly in the Coastal Zone where coastal resources must be protected.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall email a copy of this adopted resolution to
the League of California Cities at BallotMeasures@calcities.org; Senator Ben
Allen: Samuel Liu, Deputy Chief of Staff, District Director at
Samuel.Liu@sen.ca.gov and Rad Nowroozi, District Representative at
Rad.Nowroozi@sen.ca.gov; Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi: Melissa Ramoso,
District Director at Melissa.Ramoso@asm.ca.gov and Cody Bridges, Senior Field
Representative at Cody.Bridges@asm.ca.gov; and Coastal Commission
representatives: Kate Huckelbridge, Executive Director at
Kate.Huckelbridge@coastal.ca.gov; Steve Hudson, District Director, South
Central Coast and South Coast, Los Angeles County at
Steve.Hudson@coastal.ca.gov, and Sarah Christie, Legislative Director,
Sarah.Christie@coastal.ca.gov.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED on this 9th day of April, 2024.
