RESOLUTION 91-28 A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO STUDY POSSIBLE TEXT AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO THE DEFINITION AND REGULATION OF ADULT USES WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public meeting on April 16, 1991, and made the following Findings: A. The zoning ordinance currently permits adult uses ("adult book stores," "adult newsrack," and "adult theatres,") in the General Commercial, C-3, zone, with a conditional use permit. Section 10-5 states that such a permit shall be issued for book stores and theatres when the establishments are located at least 100 feet from a residentially zoned property, and at least 1000 feet from property zoned or used for a church, school, or park purposes, or another adult establishment. Section 10-6 also states that such a permit shall be issued for adult newsracks when it is located at least 1000 feet from a church, school, or part and at least 500 feet from any other newsrack or adult book store. These regulations need to be studied for their reasonableness, and whether or not adult uses may be undesirable enough to be eliminated from the permitted use list; B. The current definitions of adult uses are not clear as to what constitutes an adult use when adult books, video, or magazines are being sold in conjunction with or ancillary to another permitted use; C. The definitions need to be studied for possible amendments to clarify when a business only partially sells or rents adult items; -1 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 D.
