RESOLUTION P.C. 06-3
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO
RECOMMEND ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE TO ADD
LARGE DAY SPAS AS A CONDITIONALLY
PERMITTED USE IN THE C-2 AND C-3 ZONES
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on January 17, 2006, to
consider adopting an ordinance adding a new definition in Chapter 17.04 and amending Section
17.26.030 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to regulate large day spa facilities with greater than
3,000 square feet of gross floor area.
Section 2. Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
1. The current list of permitted uses includes beauty shops and massage therapy businesses
in the commercial districts, and does not identify uses that combine these services into what is
commonly referred to as a large day spa;
2. Large day spa facilities are becoming a more frequent and popular use in commercial
districts;
3. The establishment of large day spa facilities subject to obtaining a Conditional Use
Permit, will allow a case by case review of the proposed location or type of establishment to ensure
compatibility with surroundings, and consistency with the intent of the commercial zone in which
they are located;
4. The subject text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environment Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the general rule set forth in Section 15061(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines, as there is no possibility that the addition of large spa facilities as a conditionally
permitted use may have a significant effect on the environment.
Section 3. Based on the. foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Title 17-Zoning, Chapter 17.04, Section 17.04.050 be amended to add
the following to commercial land use definitions:
"Large Day Spa. An establishment that consists of more than 3,000 square feet of gross floor area,
that offers a combination of non -medical personal services that may include hair, nail and skin care
treatment or other services typically found in a beauty shop, and also massage therapy and similar
treatment of the human body, and may also include spa tubs, pools, steam rooms, saunas or other
related accessory facilities and uses. If massage therapy occupies more than 25% of the gross floor
area of the establishment the business shall be subject to requirements of massage therapy business
pursuant to Chapter 5.74 of the Municipal Code."
Section 4. Amend the land use matrix under Chapter 17.26, Land Use Regulations to add the
following in alphabetical order within the matrix
