RESOLUTION P.C. 89-17
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING AMENDING THE ZONING ORPINANCE
REGARDING THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED AND
ADOPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on
October 17, 1989 and made the following Findings:
A. The exception to the maximum height for the roof top
equipment is broad and general;
B. Roof top equipment can result in view blockage;
C. The exception allowing the height to be measured from the
sidewalk level on through lots fronting on the sidewalk,
besides being unclear and inconsistent with the current
method of measuring height, would give an unfair advantage to
through lots which downslope from the sidewalk, which could
result in view blockage, or unnecessarily bulky structures;
D. Amending these sections of the zoning ordinance is consistent
with the General Plan and is in the best interest of the
citizens of Hermosa Beach;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission
of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby recommend
the following:
1. Amend Article 12, Section 1201. Height of Roof Structures:
"Commercial and manufacturing zones: The following elements
