RESOLUTION NO.12-6802
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION 05-6417 "ADOPTING
STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF
OUTDOOR DINING AREAS ON PIER PLAZA," RESCINDING RESOLUTION
05-6418 "ADOPTING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE DESIGN
AND OPERATION OF OUTDOOR RETAIL SALES/DISPLAY AREAS ON
PIER PLAZA," AND ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION.
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission held duly noticed public hearings on January 17,
February 21, and March 20, 2012, and adopted Planning Commission Resolution 12-4
recommending that the City Council: (1) amend Subsection F of Section W (Design Standards) of
Exhibit A to City Council Resolution 05-6417 "Adopting Standards and Procedures for the Design
and Operation of Outdoor Dining Areas on Pier Plaza'; (2) rescind City Council Resolution
05-6418 "Adopting Standards and Procedures for the Design and Operation of Outdoor Retail
Sales/Display Areas on Pier Plaza'; (3) maintain the prohibition on outdoor retail sales/display
areas and portable signs on the public right-of-way; and (4) adopt a Negative Declaration.

pursuant to Title 12, Chapter 12.16 of the Municipal Code pertaining to encroachments into the
public right-of-way. Resolution 05-6417 allows retractable awnings to extend over fifty percent
of the encroachment area; the amendment herein to City Council Resolution 05-6417 to allow
retractable awnings to extend over the entire encroachment area reflects current, albeit
unauthorized practices, which are demonstrated to have no adverse effects on aesthetics, public
health or safety, or other factors.
2. A separate Municipal Code amendment is being processed simultaneously to
allow outdoor dining in commercial zones excluding SPA-11 on the public right-of-way without a
conditional use permit.
3. Resolution 05-6418 "Adopting Standards and Procedures for the Design and
Operation of Outdoor Retail Sales/Displays on Pier Plaza" regulates a use that the Code does not
provide for, and it should be rescinded. No Municipal Code amendment is necessary to because
the standards in Resolution 05-6418 were never codified into the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
SECTION 4. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, an
Initial Study and Negative Declaration were prepared and it was determined that no significant
impacts on the environment would result from the project. The Negative Declaration prepared for
this project reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis. The Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration was advertised in accordance with CEQA Section 15070 on March 22, 2012
for a period of at least twenty (20) days ending on April 11, 2012. The City Council finds that
there is no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant impact on the
environment and adopts the Initial Study and Negative Declaration as adequate and complete and
approves the Final Negative Declaration.
