RESOLUTION P.C. 90-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING
ORDINANCE TO ELIMINATE THE 17-FOOT PARKING REQUIREMENT ON ALLEYS
AND ADOPTION OF A NEGATIVE DECLARATION.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held public hearings on
February 20, 1990 and March 6, 1990, to receive public testimony
regarding Text Amendment 90-1, and made the following Findings:
A. The 17-foot garage setback from streets was established
primarily to provide room to park a standard vehicle behind a
garage that would not block the sidewalk;
B. The 17-foot garage setback was also applied to alleys so
additional off-street parking would be provided in all cases;
C. The 17-foot setback on alleys requires that parking be
located in a specified manner when other options may be
available which may allow for a floor plan of a better and
more efficient design, and which would still provide adequate
parking;
D. The 17-foot setback on alleys places an undue burden on small
lots because it requires the use of at least 37-feet of the
depth to be used for parking purposes, and other options of
providing the parking are available which would allow a more
practical use of the ground floor;
E. The 17-foot setback on alleys should be an option available
to developers toward providing parking, but should not be an
absolute requirement for all cases.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission
of City of Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby recommend the
following amendments to the zoning ordinance text:
SECTION 1. Amend Section 1157(C) to read as follows:
