In addition to the run, there are activities and running events for children. The event is co-sponsored by PROJECT touch and the City of Hermosa Beach. All race proceeds benefit PROJECT touch, a local non-profit agency serving at risk youth and families since 1973. Analysis The Council has considered and approved parking meter fee waivers for this event in the past and the additional parking along 11th Street will encourage participation and maintain the consistency of one of Hermosa Beach's most popular and longest running community events. Other Alternatives Available to the Council Do not waive fees FISCAL IMPACT Resident meters: Commercial meters: MAXIMUM POTENTIAL USE $975.00 50 meters x 2 hours @ $0.75 per/hour = $75.00 150 meters x 2 hours @ $0.75 per/hour = $225.00 Attachment: Letter of Request Respectly submitted Shaunna Donahue Recreation Supervisor Concur: lN�-Y Lisa Lynn Recreation Supervisor Stepp i R'."Burrel1 City Manager 2g .. • 710 Pier Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 (310) 379-2797 (310) 379-9267 Fax ptouch@earthlink.net PROJECTtOUCh Serving the special needs of youth and their families in the Beach Cities and surrounding communities since 1974. Chairperson and members of the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission City of Hermosa Beach December 23, 2002 We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. Being an integral part of the Sand and Strand Run has given us the opportunity to give back to the community and to highlight the services we provide through our counseling programs. In an attempt to make this traditional race even more prominent in the community, we are requesting that the city provide parking fee waivers for meters close to the Lower Pier Plaza and in the downtown parking structure. The waivers could be in effect during the morning until noon. We suggest that making parking less of a problem will help to encourage more race participation. This will be the 5151 year for this annual event, and it brings into the community much valued family activity. Since PROJECTtouch is the recipient of the finds raised from this race, it is in our best interest to provide convenience and to prompt increased participation. We encourage you to provide these fee waivers and continue your support of our local youth and their families.

Harold Williams, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Michael Flaherty, Public Works Superintendent Ray Abassi, P.E., City Traffic Engineer Rhea Punneo, Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department 2. Flag Salute Mr. Beste led the flag salute. 3. Approval of Minutes Motion by Commissioner Cheatham to approve the minutes of the December 18, 2002 meeting as written. Seconded by Mr. Koch. Ayes: Lombardo, Cheatham, Beste, Winnek Noes: None Abstain: Koch Absent: None 4. Public Comments None. 5. Correspondence None. 6. Items for Commission Consideration Note: Item 6 d) was taken out of order to accommodate a member of the public who wished to address the Commission on this issue. a. Memorandum from Sol Blumenfeld, Community Development Director Mr. Williams recommended convening a subcommittee to study the matter of gateway signs on Pier Avenue and provide direction to Staff. Mr. Williams noted that it will require substantial Staff time and hiring a consultant in signage. Mr. Winnek expressed interest in serving on such a 2 j • • subcommittee. Mr. Williams suggested that the Commissioners not concern themselves with costs and present the best looking sign in the best location to the City Council and let them set the budget. Ms. Lombardo suggested that the Commission could propose alternatives for additional funding. MOTION by Mr. Koch to form a subcommittee to study this matter. Seconded by Ms. Lombardo Ayes: Cheatham, Lombardo, Winnek, Koch, Beste Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None Mr. Winnek and Ms. Lombardo volunteered to serve on this subcommittee. b. Project No. CIP 00-140 11th Place On -Street Parking Improvements -Progress Report Mr. Williams made the presentation, saying that Public Works has been unable to locate documentation of a road access easement, and he suggested that a title search and record search would be undertaken to determine its status. In response to Commissioners' questions, Mr. Williams said that they had not considered making the street one-way to increase the number of parking spaces. The plans at this stage are conceptual, and they will be addressing the drainage issue at a later date however Mr. Williams did note that there would be cross gutters only. The intent at present is to keep the parking spaces free to the public, although the issue of metered parking could be addressed at a later time. MOTION by Ms. Lombardo to receive and file this report. Seconded by Mr. Winnek. Ayes: Cheatham, Beste, Koch, Lombardo, Winnek Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None c. Request for All Way Stops at the Intersections of 4th Street and Manhattan Avenue and 4th Street and Monterey Avenue Mr. Abassi made the presentation, stressing that the traffic situation at these intersections is not out of the ordinary for the City. Since the original presentation at the November meeting, a warrant study had been done and it indicated that the Manhattan and 4th Street intersection is not a good candidate for a stop sign. The 85th percentile speeds at 4th Street and Monterey Avenue were slightly higher, but not enough to warrant a stop sign either. In response to Commissioners' questions, Mr. Abassi indicated that these are typical intersections in a small city, and improving sight distances could only be achieved at the expense of parking spaces. Stop signs are in place on 2"d and 6th Streets because they are through streets and carry more traffic than 4th Street. Frequent stop and go traffic could increase traffic noise. MOTION by Mr. Winnek to deny the request for all -way stops at the Intersections of 4"' Street and Manhattan Avenue and 4th Street and Monterey Avenue. Seconded by Mr. Beste. Ayes: Cheatham, Beste, Koch, Lombardo, Winnek Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None PWC Minutes 2 01/15/03 • ' • d. Request for Safety Improvements at the Intersection of Ardmore Avenue and 3rd Street Mr. Abassi made the presentation, indicating traffic conditions at this intersection are not out of the ordinary for this city. A speed and 'volume survey revealed that approximately 2,800 cars per day pass through this intersection and the 85th percentile of speed is 25 mph. Mr. Abassi advised that a stop sign at this intersection was not appropriate. Public Comment on this issue: Patty McAvin, 645 3rd Street Ms. McAvin indicated that a stop sign might not be appropriate, but traffic has increased dramatically since the condominium developments have been built and the intersection is dangerous, saying people are "lucky if they don't get hit." She added that the problem has increased since the condominiums were built. Mr. Cheatham noted that the streets in the area are narrow, and traffic has increased since medium density development has been allowed. Average speeds are lower due to reduced visibility on the narrow streets, and a stop sign would set an unwelcome precedent for other intersections in the area. Mr. Williams noted that the proposed CIP project for widening Ardmore was not moved forward by the City Council. MOTION by Mr. Winnek to take no action at this time and to receive and file Ms. McAvin's request. Seconded by Lombardo Ayes: Cheatham, Beste, Koch, Lombardo, Winnek Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None Request to repave Tennyson Place Mr. Williams presented the item, noting that this presentation was in response to Commission direction to place the item on this evening's agenda. Mr. Cheatham noted that the condition of this street is bad but there was worse than many others and the City was repairing the streets in the worst condition first. He also advised that there would be a new Pavement Management Study this year and that will be among the guidelines used for the next recommendation to Council for street improvements. It was noted that he CIP subcommittee would be. revitalized once the report has been completed. 7. Commissioners' Reports Mr. Cheatham noted that he'd like to see another meeting between Staff and the subcommittee regarding an update on the current status of the newsracks. Mr. Winnek added that there is the potential for rust problems with the newsracks, asking what remedies were available to contain the potential problems. Ms. Lombardo indicated that the tree subcommittee plans to meet later this month. Ms. Lombardo visited the Garden Club, and noted that the members were anxious to help. She noted that she will be getting additional information from the Club and will report back to the Commission once received. 8. Council Agendas— December Minutes a. Monthly Activity Report ---November PWC Minutes 3 01/15/03 • b. Project Status Reports—November These items are presented for information purposes only. 9. Items Requested by Commissioners Ms. Lombardo indicated that she and former Commissioner Chris Howell were on the safety committee and the Police Department has obtained a grant for funding the safety program. Mr. Cheatham drew attention to the St. Patrick's Day parade and suggested that Public Works might wish to participate. Mr. Williams said that the department could work on that. Mr. Cheatham suggested that Commissioners put their names and email addresses on the city's website. Several Commissioners preferred not to post email addresses, as they prefer to communicate by phone. 10. Other Matters Mr. Koch inquired about the City's stand on the storm drain issue, referring to an article in the Daily Breeze. Mr. Williams responded that the City was not a member of the group in question and that the Public Works Department does its best to make sure the public is aware of the Best Management Practices. In addition, it was noted that the City's lines are unplugged every 12 hours. Mr. Williams distributed a memo from the City Attorney advising that new regulations require Commissioners to leave the room whenever a matter is before the Commission that raises a potential conflict of interest. An exception to this rule would be when a Commissioner with a personal interest wishes to address the Commission as a member of the general public. Mr. Williams also announced that the county is now ready to proceed with a pilot program to monitor the salt -water barrier to hold back seawater was put on hold in 1999. The system will be hardwired and will be located in existing conduit. Mr. Flaherty reminded the Commission of the Household Hazardous & E -Waste Round Up in the City on Saturday, January 25, 2003 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This county program now includes "e - waste" (electronic waste) i.e., monitors, keyboards, and other electronic equipment. Hermosa Beach was selected due to the high level of participation in past years. 11. Public Comment None. 12. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:12pm. The next meeting will be on February 19, 2003 in the Council Chambers. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are a true and complete record of the action taken by the Public Works Commission of Hermosa Beach at the regularly scheduled meeting of January 15, 2003.

Adjournment 3 January 15, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of the Hermosa Beach City Council January 28, 2003 PROJECT NOS. CIP 00-410 & 00-192 LOMA AREA SEWER AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND CIP 00-411 SEWER AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS — TARGET AREA 1 APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT/INSPECTION AND APPROPRIATION OF SEWER FUNDS Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: ' 1 Approve the attached Professional Services Agreement for construction management services between the City of Hermosa Beach and Quantum Consulting, Inc. for a fee not to exceed $147,600; 2. -Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said agreement upon approval as to form by the City Attorney; 3. Authorize the appropriation of $100,000 from the 160 Sewer Fund; and 4. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make minor changes as necessary not to exceed $14,760. Background: As Council is aware, the construction contracts for Project Nos. CIP 00-410 & 00-192 Lorna Area Sewer and Street Improvements and CIP 00-411 Sewer and Street Improvements — Target Area 1 were awarded to Sialic Contractors Corporation dba Shawnan at the January 14, 2003 meeting. The services of a consultant Construction Manager are needed to supplement the construction management and inspection capacity of the Public Works Department. On January 14, 2003 the City of Hermosa Beach Public Works Department received six proposals for the performance of construction management services for Project Nos. CIP 00-410 & 00-192 Loma Area Sewer and Street Improvements and CIP 00-411 Sewer and Street Improvements — Target Area 1. The responding project teams were as follows: FIRM LOCATION AAE, Inc. Brea, California CBM Consulting, Inc. Gardena, California Hy-com & Associates, Inc. Newport Beach, California Quantum Consulting Torrance, California SA Associates Arcadia, California Tetra Tech, Inc. Irvine, California Analysis: Staff evaluated each proposal on the basis of the scope of services, similar projects, and resumes of key personnel. FIRM SCOPE OF SERVICES SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE STAFF CAPABILITIES • FEE SA Associates Weak Strong Adequate $ 108,000 Quantum Consulting, Inc. Strong Adequate Strong $ 147,600 CBM Consulting Inc. Strong Strong Adequate $ 157,541 AAE Inc. Strong Strong Adequate . $ 164,655 Hy -Com & Associates, Inc. Adequate Strong Adequate $ 167,600 Tetra Tech, Inc. Strong Strong Adequate $ 277,602 After evaluating the proposal data, the consulting firm of Quantum Consulting, Inc. was selected as the best qualified to provide the required services for a fee of $147,600. The main reasons for this decision are: 1) Quantum's past performance on the Loma District and Myrtle District Undergrounding Projects, 2) their commitment and dedication to the City to complete the projects (even when their contract is exhausted), and 3) their familiarity/personal attention to the City's residents, especially in the Loma area. The portion of the fee for Project No. CIP 00-410/00-192 Loma Area Sewer and Street Improvements is $73,800. The remainder of the fee in the amount of $73,800 will be attributed to Project No. CIP 00-411 Sewer and Street Project —Target Area 1. Please see the attached Professional Services Agreement Exhibit A — Scope of Work. The firm with the lowest fee, SA Associates, proposed many exceptions to their fee proposal and services. The main exception is the limitation of inspection hours to 1,100 for both projects. The inspection hours needed total 1,920 hours (2 projects X 120 days X 8 hours = 1,920 hours). Based on their rate of $69/hour for inspection and 820 additional hours, $59,340 should be added to their fee to make it a comparable to the other proposals. Other exceptions include limiting the review of change orders to 5, limiting the number of site meetings to 10, limiting review of Requests for Information and Requests for Clarification to 20, and limiting review of submittals/re-submittals to 10. It is apparent that supplemental agreements or change orders will be needed to augment this fee proposal. The appropriation of $100,000 from 160 Sewer Fund is necessary to increase the project budgets to $1,548,675 and $891,831 for Project Nos. CIP 00-410 & 00-192 Loma Area Sewer and Street Improvements and CIP 00-411 Sewer and Street Improvements — Target Area 1, respectively, in order to accommodate the construction contracts with Shawnan, and the proposed Professional Services Agreement with Quantum Consulting, Inc. including contingencies. Fiscal Impact: The costs and funding sources for both projects are as follows: Project Nos. CIP 00-410/00-192 Loma Area Sewer and Street Improvements Construction Contract & Contingency $ 1,461,806 Proposed Cons. Management PSA $ 73,800 Proposed PSA Contingency $ 7,380 Total Costs $ 1,542,986 Funds Available Proposed Approp. (Rec. 1) Total Funding 2 $ 1,498,675 $ 50,000 $ 1,548,675 • Project No. CIP 00-411 Sewer and Street Improvements — Target Area 1 Construction Contract & Contingency $ 805,198 Proposed Cons. Management PSA $ 73,800 Proposed PSA Contingency $ 7,380 Total Costs $ 886,378 Funds Available $ 841,831 Proposed Approp. (Rec. 1) $ 50,000 Subtotal $ 891,831 With construction contracts plus contingencies amounting to $2,267,004 for both projects and a proposed construction management PSA in the amount of $147,600 plus $14,760 contingency, the cumulative costs total approximately $2,429,364. The cumulative available budgets total $2,340,506. The difference needed is approximately $88,858. In addition, funds are needed to perform soils testing, compaction testing, and materials testing during construction. Therefore, the proposed appropriation in the amount of $100,000 is needed to accommodate the PSA plus contingency. Attachment: Professional Services Agreement Respectfully submitted, Tristan D.

Award contract for Storm Drain Catch Basin Maintenance to United Storm Water, City of Industry, California in the amount of $39,845.00 for twenty-nine (29) months; and 2. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make changes to the contract amount not to exceed $3,985.00. Background: The City has employed a storm drain catch basin and filter cleaning maintenance contractor for the last two years in an effort to prevent trash and debris from getting into the ocean. The initial years have demonstrated how effective the filters and maintenance routine can be. This maintenance program has collected over 4,000 lbs. of trash and debris in the catch basins, which otherwise would have flowed into the ocean. The maintenance program is also a requirement of NPDES and other overview agencies. Analysis: The Public Works Department sent bid documents and specifications to fifteen interested and qualified contractors. In addition, advertisements were placed on the City website, the Easy Reader and FW Dodge (The Green Sheet), a contractor's periodical. There was also a non- mandatory pre-bid meeting. On December 30, 2002, the two sealed bids received in the City Clerk's office were opened publicly and read aloud. The results were as follows: COMPANY & CITY FY 02-03 FY 03-04 FY 04-05 TOTAL BID 2/1103 - 6/30103 7/1103 - 6130/04 7/1/04 - 6/30/05 AMOUNT United Storrn Water, 15,600.00 15,780.00 8,465.00 39,845.00 City of Industry Kri Star, Santa Rosa 9,401.90 18,611.30 18,611.30 46,624.50 Note: It was discovered during bid review that the apparent low bidder, United Storm Water, had reversed the first and third year amounts. After reviewing with the City Attorney, it was determined this issue is a minor irregularity and Staff recommends the City Council waive the irregularity and award the bid to the lowest bidder, United Storm Water. 2k Fiscal Impact: The FY 02-03 budget has allocated sufficient funds for the Storm Drain Catch Basin Maintenance Contract. Alternatives: 1. Approve Staff recommendation and award the Storm Drain Catch Basin Maintenance contract to United Storm Water. 2. Direct staff to reject all bids and re -bid the item.

Respectfully, ELIZABETH SROUR On Behalf of GARY and CINDI WELLS Property Owners and Applicants p 1 1TL yyLa � t, . 70 January 21, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council January 28, 2003 Regular Meeting of SUBJECT: APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION DENYING THE REQUEST FOR A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND ZONE CHANGE FROM C-1 (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) TO R-3 (MULTI-FAMIL Y RESIDENTIAL) GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 02-1, APPEAL ZONE CHANGE 02-1, APPEAL LOCATION: 19 2ND STREET APPELLANT GARY WELLS Recommendation To sustain the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the request by adoption of the attached resolution. Background: On November 19, 2002, the Planning Commission voted 4:0 to deny the subject request for a General Plan Amendment and Zone change. At the request of the applicant, the Commission also considered the proposed development of a 2 unit condominium project on the property in a separate action and approved the request subject to City Council approval of the Zone Change and General Plan Amendment. PROJECT INFORMATION: GENERAL. PLAN: ZONING: LOT SIZE: EXISTING USE: CONDOMINIUM PROJECT: PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE: PARKING REQUIRED: PARKING PROVIDED: Neighborhood Commercial (HD Residential Proposed) C-1 (R-3 proposed) 3,838 Square Feet Duplex Front unit: 2,662 square feet Rear unit: 2,676 square feet 4 Standard, 1 Guest 4 Standard. 1 Guest The subject property is currently developed with a duplex, constructed in the 1920's, and located on the north side of Second Street east of the commercial development that fronts on Hermosa Avenue. (currently a restaurant). The lot is located at a depth of 60 to 93 feet from Hermosa Avenue and abuts Beach Drive on the west. The intervening property between the subject site and the restaurant (25 2nd Street) is also developed with a duplex. The property is one of three lots located between Hermosa Avenue and Beach Drive designated Neighborhood Commercial on the General Plan Map, and zoned C- 1 (Neighborhood Commercial) on the City's Zoning Map. The C-1 zoning for the site permits limited commercial use or limited commercial use with residential apartments above the ground floor with a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 17.26.030 of the Zone Code. C-1 zoned property is located in small pockets of the City along Hermosa Avenue and Manhattan Avenue and comprises approximately 2 acres of the City. The C-1 commercial designation for the subject property and the remainder of the block between Hermosa Avenue and Beach Drive dates back to the oldest City land use and zoning maps. The Hermosa Avenue fronting property to the south contains a mix of service and retail commercial uses and is zoned C-lon both sides of the street. Directly across from Hermosa Avenue the property is developed residentially and zoned R-3. The properties to the west and north are residential. (Please see the attached aerial photo and existing land use maps). Analysis The applicant's request to redesignate and rezone the property to HD Residential and R-3 allows exclusive residential use of the lot for development of a 2 -unit condominium project. Approving this change precludes possible future expansion of Hermosa Avenue fronting commercial property to the alley. Such land assembly can encourage higher quality commercial projects or add commercial parking to improve existing commercial activity. The applicant argues that such commercial expansion is improbable given that both the subject lot and 25 2nd Street must be combined with the Hermosa Avenue.fronting commercial lot to create an efficient developable site. The applicant also notes that a two -unit condominium development is consistent with surrounding residential densities and compatible with the development pattern of the area to the south and west, and on the east side of Hermosa Avenue. Recent direction from the City Council on the issue of zone changes along Pacific Coast Highway has been to maintain commercial depths and not allow encroachment of residential uses. The issue of commercial depth in Neighborhood Commercial areas along Hermosa Avenue has not been considered. The General Plan designation ofNeighborhood Commercial is described as follows: This category includes convenience stores, Laundromats and similar uses designed to primarily serve local walk-in traffic. (page 26 Land Use Element). The purpose of the C-1, Neighborhood Commercial Zone as described in the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17.26.020(B) is to provide sites for mix of small local businesses appropriate for, and serving the daily needs of nearby residential neighborhoods. while establishing land use regulations that prevent significant adverse effects on abutting residential uses. The applicant argues that the opportunities for commercial use of this property are very limited because of the size of the lot and the fact that it is isolated from other commercial uses or lots under the same ownership. The applicant also has studied the potential for a project combining commercial with apartments above and has submitted a conceptual plan showing that it would be 2 possible to construct two 1,200 square foot apartment units above a small commercial space (800 square feet) on the ground floor. The applicant does not believe this is the highest and best use of the site. Conclusion: Since the City Council has previously resisted redesignation of commercially zone property in the City and since the property can currently be developed with neighborhood oriented commercial with residential units above, staff recommends that the Council sustain the Commission decision to retain the current General Plan and zoning designations.

An application was filed by Gary Wells owner of property at 19 Second Street seeking to amend the General Plan Map and the Zoning Map for the subject property. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on November 19, 2002, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Based on this evidence and testimony the Planning Commission denied the request. Section 3. The applicant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission decision. Section 4. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applicant's appeal of the Planning Commission denial of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on January 28, 2003, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the City Council. Section 5. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, and the record of decision of the Planning Commission, the City Council makes the following factual findings: 1. The property is designated Neighborhood Commercial on the General Plan Map, and Neighborhood Commercial on the official City Zoning Map. The C-1 zoning for the site allows local neighborhood oriented commercial uses or residential use with ground floor commercial as part of a mixed-use project. 2. The requested change will reduce the depth of the commercial designated property, as measured from Hermosa Avenue westward, from 93 to 60 feet, and replace the commercial designations on the subject property to allow residential development for up to two units consistent with the High Density Residential classification of the General Plan and the R-3 Zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance. 1920's 3. The property at 19 2nd Street has been in continuing use for residential since the ct 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 29 • • 4. Surrounding property to the north and west is designated High Density Residential on the General Plan and zoned R-3, which allows residential development up to a density of 33 units per acre, and is currently developed with a mix of multi -family uses. Section 6. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the City Council makes the following findings pertaining to the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change: 1. The proposed amendment to the General Plan Map to reduce the depth of the Neighborhood Commercial designation by excluding 19 2"d Street, from 93 feet to 600 feet, is not in the best interest of the City with respect to long-term land use and development at the Hermosa Avenue and 2"d Street intersection. 2. The General Plan Map accurately depicts the appropriate depth for neighborhood commercial development and long-term land use and development of this area. 3. Reducing the potential depth for commercial development would preclude the opportunity for new commercial activity or the expansion of existing commercial development along the subject segment of Hermosa Avenue. Section 7. Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby denies the request to amend the Land Use Map of the General Plan. Section 8. By virtue of the denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment, it would be contrary to State Law to approve the Zone Change because such a change would render the zoning designation inconsistent with the general plan designation. Therefore, the Zone Change is hereby denied.

Staff Recommended Action: To deny said request. Director Blumenfeld advised that the property is located on the north side of 2nd Street, second lot on the east of the neighborhood commercial development that fronts on Hermosa Avenue; stated that there currently is a restaurant located along that frontage; explained that the lot is located at a depth of 60 to 93 feet from Hermosa Avenue and that it abuts Beach Drive on the west; that the intervening property between the subject site and the restaurant is also developed with a duplex; that much of the surrounding use in the area is residential; that the property is one of three lots located along Hermosa Avenue that is designated neighborhood commercial on the General Plan map; and that it has an underlying zone of C-1, which allows for very limited commercial and residential or apartments above, providing for- mixed-use development -- commercial on the ground floor, residential above. Director Blumenfeld stated that the applicant is requesting this re -designation to HD residential under the General Plan, or R-3, which would allow for exclusive residential development on the lot; that, basically, it would allow a two -unit condo project, which is the subject of this request; advised that the proposed density would be consistent with much of the surrounding land use; and that approving this change would preclude any commercial development of this site -- pointing out that both the City Council and the Planning Commission have expressed reservations of rezoning commercial property to residential. He stated that the applicant is Planning Cornmission Minutes November 19, 2002 • • asserting that the opportunities for commercial development are very limited because of the size of the lot and its isolation from other commercial uses and that it's unlikely that commercial development will occur. Director Blumenfeld explained that the proposed two -unit condo project is a 3 -story structure containing a basement with two stories above; that the units are designed in Mediterranean style, with tile roofs and precast decorative treatments on the exterior; noted that the parking is provided on the ground level with direct access from Beach Drive and 3`d Place; that guest parking is available; and that with the exception of a minor accommodation for open space that occurs on the decks and the building separation, he advised that the project otherwise conforms with the requirements of the condo ordinance and zoning standards. Director Blumenfeld advised that the plan provides for adequate landscaping and noted that a condition has been included for a minimum of two 36 -inch box trees. He stated that since the City Council and the Planning Commission have previously resisted re -designation of commercially zoned property in this City and since the property can be developed at this point with residential above commercial units, it is staff's recommendation to maintain the General Plan and zoning designations as currently shown. Chairman Pizer opened the public hearing. Elizabeth Srour, 1001 6th Street, Manhattan Beach, representing the property owners, urged the Planning Commission to recognize the historic use of this site; advised that this is an individual lot; and stated that residential use will be consistent with the surrounding residential uses and that it will be compatible with the development pattern to the south, west and across Hermosa Avenue. She explained that the applicant is requesting a zone change to R-3, which is the exact zoning designation to the west, north, and southwest; and advised that the northwest and southwest corners at Beach Drive and 2nd Street both contain large apartment buildings. Ms. Srour noted that this site is half a block from the beach; that it's outside the primary commercial corridor for the downtown area and a significant distance from the main street; that it has very little visibility from the main pedestrian corridor; and she stated that visibility is extremely important to commercial development. Ms. Srour advised that the applicant has considered alternative uses; and that there is very little incentive for retail use at this site or even a food service or small retail;= which leaves them with office/professional use. Ms. Srour expressed her belief that the office use could work, but pointed out that kis 'not a local -serving type of business, that it does not add to the City's tax base.- She noted that there is approximately 800 square feet of leaseable area on the ground level, limited to a two-level building; stated that because of the parking requirements, almost 75 percent of the first level would be parking because of the parking requirements; and at the second level, they would be able to get two 1,200 -square -foot apartments. She pointed out that this alternative lacks economic incentive. She explained that the alternative of pursuing a lot merger at 2nd Street and Hermosa Avenue could be counterproductive to the goal of protecting the residential neighborhoods from the intrusion of commercial uses; and advised that the neighbors have expressed no interest in selling their parcels. She added that this is not a destination commercial area and that it is unfair to compare it with the PCH commercial corridor. Cindy Wells, property owner/applicant, stated that she lives approximately 2 blocks from this site; commented on the residents' opposition to increased traffic and business coming into the /a - Planning Commission Minutes November 19, 2002 • area; and expressed her belief that if the three lots somehow manage to be combined, the only viable use would be club, restaurant, or grocery store, with very limited parking. She stated that • a placing a mixed use at this site is not a viable option because it won't bring in enough customers. Ms. Srour stated that staff resolution gives a possible rationale to consider, that the General Plan and zone change will recognize the current land use of the subject property and current market conditions which have not supported or created an interest in expanding commercial development to include this location and will allow the development of an appropriate residential land use consistent with surrounding properties. Chairman Pizer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Perrotti stated that he concurs with the City's reluctance to lose any more commercial properties. Vice -Chairman Hoffman stated that he would support a mixed-use project at this site. Commissioner Tucker noted his preference to see more mixed use. MOTION by Commissioner Kersenboom, seconded by Vice -Chairman Hoffman, to DENY the applicant's request for GP 02-1/ZON 02-1/CON 02 -/PDP 02- -- General Plan Amendment from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to High Density Residential (HD) and Zone Change from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) to Multiple -Family Residential (R-3) or to such other designation/zone as deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission.

The C-3 zoning for the site does not allow a residential use, and the existing nonconforming use is limited to a maximum 50% expansion pursuant to the Nonconforming Ordinance. Sb 4134 • • The 200 foot commercial depth for 10th Street west of P.C.H. dates back to the 1956 -zoning map. The older zoning and land use maps prior to 1956 show the commercial depth at 110 feet. The property directly to the south behind the subject lot is zoned R-2 and developed residentially. The property across 10th Street is zoned C-3 inconsistent with its General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential, and is currently used for a residential trailer park. The properties to the west is zoned residential and developed residentially. (See the attached aerial photo and General Plan and Zoning Maps). Analysis The applicant is requesting to redesignate and rezone the property to MD Residential and R-3 which allows residential use of the lot for either single-family use or a 2 -unit condominium project. Approving this change precludes future expansion of the Pacific Coast Highway fronting commercial property to the west by incorporating this lot. Recent direction from the City Council on the issue of commercial depths along Pacific Coast Highway has been to maintain commercial depths and not allow encroachment of residential uses. The City Council has previously recognized that land assembly to increase commercial lot depth may encourage higher quality commercial projects or add commercial parking to improve existing commercial activity. The development of the subject parcel as an independent commercial project is improbable, since it is located at the dead-end terminus of 10th Street adjacent to a traffic barrier. It may be possible, however, to relocate the barrier somewhat for development of a commercial use. An analysis of the financial benefit to the City generated by redevelopment of the property with new condominium residential uses indicates substantial increase in tax revenue for the property from $67 to $2,840 per year. The applicant argues that the subject property is unique given that the street barrier sits directly in front of the property making commercial development difficult. The property owner has inquired with Exxon/Mobil to see if they had interest in expanding their service station property to the west, and at this time they have expressed no interest (Please see the attached letter). Given that opportunities for commercial use of this property at this time are limited, the applicant argues that continued commercial zoning is not the best use for the neighborhood. Further, the depth of the commercial zone is greater at the south side of 10th than the adjacent block to the south and other streets between 8th and 10th Streets. The trailer park use across the street is also residential, and although it is also zoned C-3 at this depth from P.C.H. this zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential. Finally, given that the zoning in this section of the P.C.H. corridor is C-3 rather than S.P.A. like other sections, the property is limited to a 50% expansion allowed under the Nonconforming Ordinance. (The commercial S.P.A. 7 or S.P.A. 8 contain special provisions for commercial lots fronting on side streets with nonconforming residential uses, that allows new residential uses at the same density as the existing use.). Please refer to the applicant's letter for further elaboration of these arguments. 2 In summary, there are unusual circumstances connected to the property relative to the location of the barrier and dead-end condition of the street that merit consideration for the proposed zoning and General Plan redesignation. The property has little utility today for other than for a small single -family dwelling held to the limitations of the Nonconforming Ordinance and there is no current interest in assembling the property for commercial development. Additionally, there are obvious property tax benefits to the City with the proposed rezoning and General Plan redesignation, which must be considered against the long-term benefit in preserving the commercial depth of the City's main commercial corridor. /A KeiRolertiiison Associate Planner Concur: Sol Blumenfe, ., rector Community ( evelopment Department Ste . n`R Burrell, City Manager Attachments 1.

Applicant's letter and analysis The City's portion of the property tax revenue for the subject property is currently $67.25 per year, 0.2029% of its assessed valuation of $33,165. If redeveloped with a two -unit condominium selling for $700,000 per unit, the assessed value would increase to $1,400,000 and the City's property tax revenue would be $2,840 ($1,400,000 X 0.2029%), an increase of $2,773 per year.

An application was filed by John Robert and Gloria Kolesar owners of property at 726 10th Street seeking to amend the General Plan Map and the Zoning Map for the subject property. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on December 4, 2002, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission, and based on that evidence and findings as contained in P.C. Resolution, the Planning Commission denied the application. Section 3. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to reconsider and review the decision of the Planning Commission on the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on January 28, 2003, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, and the record of decision of the Planning Commission, was presented to and considered by the City Council. Section 4. Based on evidence received at the public hearing and the record of decision of the Planning Commission, the City Council makes the following factual findings: 1. The property contains a single-family dwelling and is designated General Commercial on the General Plan Map, and General Commercial (C-3) on the official City Zoning Map. The C-3 zoning for the site allows local commercial uses only. The existing nonconforming residential use on the property is limited to a 50% expansion pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding nonconforming uses. 2. The requested change will reduce the depth of the commercial designated property, as measured from Pacific Coast Highway westward, from 200 to 155 feet, and replace the commercial designations on the subject property to allow residential development for up to two units consistent with the Medium Density Residential classification of the General Plan and the R-2 Zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance. 3. The property at 726 10th Street has been in continuing use for residential purposes since the 1920's. 4. Properties to the south and west are designated Medium Density Residential on the General Plan and zoned R-2, which allows residential development up to a density of 25 units per acre, and is currently developed with a mix of single and multi -family uses. Across Tenth Street to the north, the property is designated Medium Density Residential on the General Plan, with an inconsistent zoning designation of C-3. It is currently developed with a residential trailer park Adjacent property to the east 1 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 • 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 • along Pacific Coast Highway has the same designations as the subject property, and is currently developed with a service station. Section 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the City Council makes the following findings pertaining to the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change: 1. The proposed amendment to the General Plan Map to reduce the depth of the General Commercial designation by excluding 726 Tenth Street, from 155 feet to 200 feet, is not in the best interest of the City with respect to long-term land use and development along the Pacific Coast Highway commercial corridor. 2. The General Plan Map accurately depicts the appropriate depth for commercial development and long-term land use and development of this area. 3. Reducing the potential depth for commercial development would preclude the opportunity for new commercial activity or the expansion of existing commercial development along the subject segment of Pacific Coast Highway. Section 6. Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby denies the request to amend the Land Use Map of the General Plan. Section 7. By virtue of the denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment, it would be contrary to State Law to approve the Zone Change because such a change would render the zoning designation inconsistent with the general plan designation. Therefore, the Zone Change is hereby denied. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this day of ,2003 PRESIDENT of the City Council and MAYOR of the City of Hermosa Beach, California • Ai I EST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY CLERK CITY ATTORNEY 12 years of operation. Mr. Mangurian noted for Commissioner Perrotti that he plans on incorporating double -paned glass in the patio area. Vice -Chairman Hoffman expressed, echoed by Commissioner Kersenboom, his concern that approval of the applicant's request fora 2:00 A.M. closing time and the sale of general alcohol will result in a change in operation, from a restaurant to a bar, and that the proposed changes will most likely result in complaints of noise and other nuisances. Jim Lissner, Hermosa Beach, urged the City to be consistent in its decision making; and highlighted the owner's'clean track record with this business. There being no further public input, Vice -Chairman Hoffman closed the public hearing. Director Blumenfeld noted for Commissioner Perrotti that if it is the owner's intent to install double - glazed windows and an air handling system this must be indicated on the plans; and added that the doors and windows must be closed during live entertainment performances. Commissioner Tucker expressed his belief that extending the closing time to 2:00 A.M. will increase the potential for complaints; and stated that he would not be opposed to extending the hours to 12:00 midnight, but that he would be opposed to granting a general alcohol operation for this establishment so close to residential uses along the Strand. Commissioner Perrotti expressed his concern that approval of this request could result in another bar or club operation at this site in the future if this •business changes ownership; and noted his support for extending the hours of operation to 12:00 midnight. Given the granting of a CUP for this site, Vice -Chairman Hoffman highlighted the need to anticipate the future operation at this site and expressed his belief that.this request will create a change in use from a restaurant to a bar operation. MOTION by Vice -Chairman Hoffman, seconded by Commissioner`Kersenboom, to ADOPT staff recommendation to deny CUP,02-8 -- Conditional Use Permit amendment to allow on -sale general alcohol; non -amplified live entertainment; a take-out food service window; to add bar seating in the patio area and extended hours of operation in conjunction with an existing., restaurant; adoption of an Environmental Negative Declaration at 1100 The Strand, Scotty's; and moved that this matter be returned to the Planning Commission for the modification of the existing CUP, extending the hours of operation to `I 2:00 midnight. The motion carried as follows: AYES: - Hoffman, Kersenboom, Perrotti, Tucker NOES/ None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Pizer Vice -Chairman Hoffman recessed the meeting at 9:00 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 9:07 P. �. 9. GP 02-2/ZON 02-2 -- General Plan Amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Medium Density Residential (MD) and a Zone Change from General Commercial (C-3) to Two -Family Residential (R-2) or to such other designation/zone as deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission and adoption of an Environmental Negative Planning Commission Minutes 12-04-02 Declaration at 726 10th Street. Staff Recommended Action: To direct staff as deemed appropriate. Director Blumenfeld advised that the project site is 4,860 square feet, a single-family residence constructed in the 1920's, and is located on the south side of 10th Street; noted that the lot is located at a depth of 155 to 200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway; and explained that 10th Street dead -ends from both the easterly and westerly directions and that a planted and curbed barrier sits directly in front of the property. He stated that the existing use is nonconforming in this C-3 zone and that it would be limited to a 50 -percent maximum expansion. Director Blumenfeld mentioned that the older zoning and land use maps prior to 1965 show the commercial depth at 110 feet. He explained that the property directly to the south and behind this lot is zoned R-2 and is residentially developed; and that it is the applicant's desire to re -designate and rezone this lot to MD Residential and R-2, which would allow for exclusive residential use of the lot for a single-family home or a 2 - unit development — pointing out that a 2 -unit development would result in a density that is consistent with the surrounding residential densities and would be compatible with the surrounding pattern of development in the area. He advised that if the Planning Commission approves this request, it would preclude any future expansion of Pacific Coast Highway fronting commercial properties and would preclude separate use of this lot for commercial use. He mentioned that Exxon/Mobil has indicated no interest in incorporating this lot into its service station property; and he added that it is the City Council's direction to maintain the commercial depths along Pacific Coast Highway. Director Blumenfeld advised that the applicant is proposing that this lot is unique because of the street barrier that sits in front of the lot and that commercial development of this L-shaped lot is extremely limited and not the best use for the primarily residential neighborhood. Further, he noted that the depth of the commercial zone is greater at the south side of 10th Street than the adjacent block to the south and the other streets between 8th and 10th Streets. He noted that the R.V. park use across the street is also inconsistent with the General Plan. Given that the zoning in this section of the Pacific Coast Highway corridor is C-3 rather than S.P.A, Director Blumenfeld stated that the lot has no other opportunity for new residential use other than the limited expansion allowable under the nonconforming ordinance. He stated that this property does have some unique conditions and that it may warrant some special consideration relative to the applicant's request. Director Blumenfeld noted for Commissioner Perrotti that it might be possible to load the driveway on the westerly end of the lot and still not disturb the location of the barrier. Vice -Chairman Hoffman opened the public hearing. Gloria Kolesar, 714 10`h Street, Hermosa Beach, applicant, made the following corrections in the report: that the R-3 designation and General Plan reference to her application should be amended to reflect R-2, Medium Density. Director Blumenfeld advised that he concurs with the highlighted amendments. Ms. Kolesar presented a videotape that addressed her request for the subject site and addressed the neighboring businesses and residential areas. Ms. Kolesar explained that her L-shaped property is much deeper than any of the other properties in a five -block area; and that the property has a medium density to the south, west and north, putting it deeper into a residential area. She confirmed that Exxon is not interested in purchasing this lot due to its odd configuration; and pointed out that condominiums and houses run down the entire length of this block. She Planning Commission Minutes 12-04-02 • expressed her belief that the 21 -unit R.V. park across the street and the nearby church do not conform to the General Plan. She stated that this lot does not have the essentials to make it a good commercial property, such as adequate use, circulation and visibility. Ms. Kolesar explained that this property is considered a legal, nonconforming property; that because of the existing restrictions, approximately 250 square feet could be added to the original footprint and that this would not be a useful living space, and, therefore, creates no incentive to improve this property because of this restriction. Because of the setback requirements with an R-2 zone next to a commercial use, she expressed her belief that setback requirements would severely limit the frontage for commercial use. She added that she was not able to find in the City any stand-alone C-3 lots facing on a side street with residential uses on three sides; and mentioned that this property has a significant cul-de-sac as its frontage and does not lend itself to commercial use. She urged the Planning Commission to grant her request and allow the property to be used in the same manner as it has for the past 80 years. Ms. Kolesar stated that this site will create property tax revenue for the City; and she summarized the uniqueness of this site: cul-de-sac in the front of the property, property situated 150 to 200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway, barrier at the front of the property, and residential use all the way around on 3 sides. Director Blumenfeld noted for Commissioner Tucker that the Public Works Department has not provided any input on removal of the barrier; stated that the Public Works Department has replaced and improved similar type barriers within the City; and expressed his belief that, if necessary, this barricade could be relocated somewhat at the applicant's expense with redevelopment of the property. Commissioner Perrotti expressed his belief that this property is not that unique and that it could be adequately merged and developed with the gas station site — highlighting the increasing closures of gas stations upon merging with other gas companies. Commissioner Kersenboom concurred with Commissioner Perrotti's comments; noted his reluctance to change the zoning; and stated that adding this lot to the commercial lot at the front just might accommodate a better use in the near future with the possible closure of the gas station. Commissioner Tucker pointed out that a similar request across the street had been denied by the Planning Commission; and addressed the need to maintain the depth of the properties in the commercial corridor along Pacific Coast Highway — pointing out his hesitancy to lose that added square footage that will be needed for commercial development in the future. Vice -Chairman Hoffman highlighted what he perceives is an incongruity between the zoning map and the general plan map; expressed his belief that if it this property is not merged with the current Exxon site, the only viable thing this lot could be used for would be if there was an intensification of use, for instance, on the Rocky Cola site, where they would want offsite parking; and noted that this scenario would not be acceptable. MOTION by Commissioner Perrotti, seconded by Commissioner Tucker, to DENY GP 02-2/ZON 02-2 -- General Plan Amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Medium Density Residential (MD) and a Zone Change from General Commercial (C-3) to Two -Family Residential (R-2) or to such other designation/zone as deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission and adoption of an Environmental Negative Declaration at 726 10th Street.

Kolesar and Gloria Kolesar 714 10th St. Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 For: City Manager and City Council RE: Application for a general plan amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Medium Density (MD) and a zone change from C-3 to R-2 for 726 10th St., Hermosa Beach. This addendum is to supplement the attached four-page letter with pictures and charts previously provided Council members in December of 2002. It is best to again review the original four-page letter and then read this addendum for continuity. It is the facts, the details, and the understanding of the same that warrant deeper analysis and special consideration that is "unique" to this property. Realizing "how" 726 is different from other properties who have applied for a general plan amendment and zone change is necessary. It was said that, "726 was like the other properties who've had their applications denied." This is not correct and we find that concerning. Realizing first that the "zoning" for the property is primary, it is also important to know how that difference affects that specific property. Upon review of those four properties who most recently applied for a zone change and general plan amendment, we found that three of them were single stand-alone lots and the fourth was the "Learned property." Of these four, three had SPA -7 zoning and one had a C-1 zoning. 726 has a "C-3" zoning. They are very different. 726 is a 600 square foot single-family residence, on a stand-alone lot. Its C-3 zoning is "legal" but "non -conforming." It is limited to improvements of no more than 50% of the value and if there was damage or loss of more than 50%, the residence could not be rebuilt. That same property with a SPA -7 zoning is "legal" and "conforming." It could be rebuilt, expanded, and improved to the limits of its established use and is not affected by damage and loss: Review of SPA 7 and 8 comprehensively accommodates varied uses—allowing for improvements, development, and merger that benefits all concerned. Why was 726 not included in an SPA zone? If 726 was not surrounded by R-2 properties, SPA -7 could accommodate our need to be able to at least improve and expand, or rebuild 726. There are a number of other significant differences but since their zonings are different, it's clear that 726 is not like the other properties. • • As previously indicated in our four-page letter, we found no good reason to develop 726 as it is presently zoned (C-3), but a long list of why it would not be wise. Namely, it lacks the elements necessary for a successful C-3 business: 1. Use potential 2. Traffic flow and circulation—Because the street is closed with the cul-de-sac in the middle of its frontage. 3. Visibility—Being 155-200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway and behind the Mobil property. Having residential use on three sides, with a residence easterly on 9th, C-3 development would be an intrusion and not consistent with the neighborhood. Understanding the city's need to preserve the commercial corridor and wanting side street properties abutting highway frontage parcels to merge, Exxon -Mobil was contacted regarding any interest in acquiring 726. Their letter (attached) declined any interest. It should be noted that we have owned 726 for 30 years, during which time Mobil has been our commercial neighbor. We also have never been contacted by Mobil expressing any interest with any of the remodels at that site. In looking at the Mobil site, it already is in an "L" shape. The addition of 726 would only extend it deeper into a residential neighborhood. This could be problematic for any commercial business. 726 has been a residential property in a residential neighborhood for 80 years. As seen today, the ordinance that changed 726 from R-2 to C-3, in 1956, did little to effect any change in all those years. By limiting the potential for improvement and reasonable development (especially since 726 is 600 sq. ft.), the return to the city has been slight and most likely will remain that way unless its zoning of R-2 is reinstated to match its use. The benefit to the city would be substantial, provided by both property tax and utility tax revenue, with the development of 726 to its R-2 potential. Over time, this could be a considerable amount—with each change of ownership the tax base increases substantially—resulting in a stable return to the city. If 726 remains C-3, as it has now been for 40 years, it is most unlikely that 726 would look much different in the future than it does today. Handicapping us as owners, with very little return to the city, seems counterproductive to both our needs. I would like to thank Mr. Yoon and Mr. Keegan for bringing this appeal before the City Council. I would also like to thank the members of the council who were able to meet with me. Sincerely, John R. Kolesar and Gloria Kolesar ✓I�LV /` From: John R. Kolesar and Gloria Kolesar 714 10th St. Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 For: City Manager and City Council RE: Application for a general plan amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Medium Density (MD) and a zone change from C-3 to R-2 for 726 10th St., Hermosa Beach. Now retired, we find our needs have changed and so has our neighborhood. The requested change to Medium Density on the General Plan and R-2 zoning would permit a two -unit condominium. It would be both consistent with the neighborhood as well as an improvement to it. We would potentially have one as a residence and the other to rent or sell -a matter to be determined with the approval of this application. The following is to provide information and support our position for requesting the changes applied for with this application for 726 10t St. Thank you for your time and due consideration. We've owned 726 10th St., a single family residence on a 45 X 110 lot, for 30 years. Since its construction in the 20's-80 years ago—its only use has been residential. • Similarly, the properties on three sides (South, West, and North) have had only residential use, ranging from 40-70 years. They are all designated Medium Density on the General Plan. The properties to the South and West are zoned R-2. The property to the North—a 21 unit trailer park -has a zoning of C-3. It should be noted that a study prepared by the Planning Department of Hermosa Beach in 1989 called "Inconsistencies Between Zoning and the General Plan" identified in Area 8 the trailer park as well as the church property to the North. It explained their C-3 zoning as inconsistent with both the General Plan designation of Medium Density and their use, and stated it would be appropriate to rezone both properties to R-2 Two Family Residential, thereby making their zoning consistent with the General Plan and use. We purchased 726 10th St., a small single family home as a rental a few years after purchasing our residence at 714 10th St. We believed 726 10th St. was zoned R-2 like 714 10th St., but learned several years later it was in fact zoned C-3. City Planning clarified its use as "legal but non -conforming" which suited our needs over the years. For a number of years, we've wanted to make improvements to the 600 sq. ft. house that sits at the back of the property. We've come to realize the limitations with the "legal non -conforming" designation of a C-3 property. Increases in square footage are limited to one half again its original square footage and if there was more than one half loss, it could not be rebuilt to its non -conforming use. With that, we determined it unwise and not financially prudent to make the improvements. We also have given due consideration to developing it as it is zoned (C-3). Unfortunately, we found no good reason to do so, but instead a long list of why it would not be wise. We'd appreciate your careful review: • 1. As previously indicated, properties on 3 sides, as well as 726 10th St., have residential use. In fact, the entire neighborhood all the way down to Ardmore is residential. C-3 development would be an intrusion and not consistent with the neighborhood. Use potential is said to be a main element to successful development. 2. There is no traffic flow or circulation on 10th St. west of Pacific Coast Highway because the street dead ends at the cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac is approximately 175 feet from Pacific Coast Highway and is in the middle of the frontage of 726 10th St. It is curbed, planted, and has a pipe and wood barricade that is locked. The curbing is painted red for approximately 30 feet both east and west of the barricade. Those painted areas on both sides of the barricade are for turning around. The need for the cul-de-sac was realized over twenty years ago to mitigate a dangerous traffic flow which dramatically increased because of the closure of the street between Windmill Park and the then -to -be, and now, Ralph's Center. Traffic previously flowed north on P.C.H., but with the change and the alignment with 10th St., traffic traveled down 10th St. instead of going to Pier Avenue and used Ardmore like P.C.H. Traffic flow and circulation are said to be main elements to successful commercial development, especially C-3. 3. 726 fronts on 10th St. -155 to 200 feet from P.C.H. It behind the Mobil property. There is no visibility from the South and limited visibility from the North, East, and at the busy intersection of Aviation and P.C.H. 4. It was concerning to realize that upon review, no representative or similar property in Hermosa Beach could be found developed to C-3 that was: A. A stand alone lot; B. Facing onto a side street; C. Residential use on 3 sides; D. A cul-de-sac in the middle of frontage; E. 155-200 feet from P.C.H.; it is the deepest stand alone property on a side street zoned C-3. F. There are no properties that fit just A, B, or C, let alone meeting all of the above criteria. i7 • • 5. C-3 zoning provides no alternative for development like S.P.A. zoning. Similar properties on side streets off P.C.H. with S.P.A. zoning do have alternatives. One of the provisions that applies is Section B: "A property being exclusively used for residential purposes at the date of the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be permitted to be continued as a residential use, maintaining its conforming status, and may be remodeled or redeveloped as a residential use as long as the density (number of dwelling units) is not increased. 6. C-3 rear and side yard setbacks adjacent to residential property further limit development at 726 10th St. "A minimum rear and/or side yard setback of 8 feet shall be provided, and an additional 2 feet of setback shall be provided for each story over the first story for structures that abut residential zones." (From the City Zoning Code.) This would require potential rear and/or side yard setbacks of 12 feel if 3 stories, which translates to 1860 sq. ft. lost to setbacks. This amount is more than one third of the total square footage of 4950 sq. feet. Please review the following points which we feel are most significant: 1 Understanding the City's need to preserve the commercial corridor and wanting side street properties abutting highway frontage properties to potentially merge, we decided it was an option to pursue. Mr. Huntsberry, West Coast Real Estate Coordinator of Exxon -Mobil, was contacted regarding any interest Exxon -Mobil might have in acquiring our 726 10th St. property. Additional information was sent for his review and also that of the Marketing Division. As the attached letter indicates, Exxon -Mobil declines interest in acquiring our 726 10th St. property. 2. Review of the General Plan (attached) with regard to the general commercial designation along P.C.H. shows it extending much deeper at 1091 St. than the other blocks from 8th St. to 11th St, which otherwise form a relatively straight line. Mobil forms an "L" configuration because its depth on 10th St. is 155 feet and on 9th St., it is 110 feet. 726 10th St. would be 155-200 feet off P.C.H. and an intrusion to the residential neighborhood. 3. 736 Gould, a large residential condominium complex west of the Hermosa Hotel demonstrates that errors may exist. Its General Plan designation is General Commercial and its zoning is C-3 rather than as its use dictates, which would be residential designations for both the General Plan and zoning. In conclusion, we feel the preceding demonstrates that 726 10th St. is a unique property. Changing its General Plan designation to Medium Density and zoning to R-2 would be consistent with the neighborhood and would also benefit the City with revenues with the improvement of a 2 -unit condominium.

Background: The Planning Commission, at their meeting of December 4, 2002 voted 3:1 to deny the requested Zone Change and General Plan Amendment. SITE INFORMATION GENERAL PLAN: General Commercial (MD - Residential Proposed) ZONING: C-3 (R-2 proposed) LOT SIZE: 4,860 Square Feet EYISTFNG USE: Single Family Residence The subject property is currently developed with a single-family residence, constructed in the 1920's and is located on the south side of Tenth Street immediately west of the commercial development that fronts on Pacific Coast Highway (currently a Mobil service station). The lot is locat ed at a depth of 155 to 200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway. A barrier at Tenth Street creates a dead-end from both the easterly and westerly directions directly in front of the subject property. The barrier is curbed, planted. (Please see attached site photo). The C-3 zoning for the site does not allow a residential use, and the existing nonconforming use is limited to a maximum 50% expansion pursuant to the Nonconforming Ordinance. 5b • • The 200 foot commercial depth for 10th Street west of P.C.H. dates back to the 1956 -zoning map. The older zoning and land use maps prior to 1956 show the commercial depth at 110 feet. The property directly to the south behind the subject lot is zoned R-2 and developed residentially. The property across 10th Street is zoned C-3 inconsistent with its General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential, and is currently used for a residential trailer park. The properties to the west is zoned residential and developed residentially. (See the attached aerial photo and General Plan and Zoning Maps). Analysis The applicant is requesting to redesignate and rezone the property to MD Residential and R-3 which allows residential use of the lot for either single-family use or a 2 -unit condominium project. Approving this change precludes future expansion of the Pacific Coast Highway fronting commercial property to the west by incorporating this lot. Recent direction from the City Council on the issue of commercial depths along Pacific Coast Highway has been to maintain commercial depths and not allow encroachment of residential uses. The City Council has previously recognized that land assembly to increase commercial lot depth may encourage higher quality commercial projects or add commercial parking to improve existing commercial activity. The development of the subject parcel as an independent commercial project is improbable, since it is located at the dead-end terminus of 10th Street adjacent to a traffic barrier. It may be possible, however, to relocate the barrier somewhat for development of a commercial use. An analysis of the financial benefit to the City generated by redevelopment of the property with new condominium residential uses indicates .substantial increase in tax revenue for the property from $67 to $2,840 per year. 1 The applicant argues that the subject property is unique given that the street barrier sits directly in front of the property making commercial development difficult. The property owner has inquired with Exxon/Mobil to see•ifthey had interest in expanding their service • station property to the west, and at this time they have expressed no interest (Please see the attached letter). Given that opportunities for commercial use of this property at this time are limited, the applicant argues that continued commercial zoning is not the best use for the neighborhood. Further, the depth of the commercial zone is greater at the south side of 10th than the adjacent block to the south and other streets between 8th and 10th Streets. The trailer park use across the street is also residential, and although it is also zoned C-3 at this depth from P.C.H. this zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential. Finally, given that the zoning in this section of the P.C.H. corridor is C-3 rather than S .P.A. like other sections, the property is limited to a 50% expansion allowed under the Nonconforming Ordinance. (The commercial S.P.A. 7 or S.P.A. 8 contain special provisions for commercial lots fronting on side streets with nonconforming residential uses, that allows new residential uses at the same density as the existing use.). Please refer to the applicant's letter for further elaboration of these arguments. In summary, there are unusual circumstances connected to the property relative to the location of the barrier and dead-end condition of the street that merit consideration for the proposed zoning and General Plan redesignation. The property has little utility today for other than for a small single-family dwelling held to the limitations of the Nonconforming Ordinance and there is no current interest in assembling the property for commercial development. Additionally, there are obvious property tax benefits to the City with the proposed rezoning and General Plan redesignation, which must be considered against the long-term benefit in preserving the commercial depth of the City's main commercial corridor. cKeri #Ronertson Associate Planner Concur: � � lov vtA Sol Blumenfeld, Director Community Development Department Stet2)n`Rl Burrell, City Manager Attachments 1.

LOCATED AT 726 TENTH S i'RE E T AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 10, TRACT 223, HERMOSA BEACH TRACT The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by John Robert and Gloria Kolesar owners of property at 726 10th Street seeking to amend the General Plan Map and the Zoning Map for the subject property. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on December 4, 2002, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission, and based on that evidence and findings as contained in P.C. Resolution, the Planning Commission denied the application. Section 3. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to reconsider and review the decision of the Planning Commission on the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on January 28, 2003, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, and the record of decision of the Planning Cornmission, was presented to and considered by the City Council. Section 4. Based on evidence received at the public hearing and the record of decision of the Planning Commission, the City Council makes the following factual findings: 1. The property contains a single-family dwelling and is designated General Commercial on the General Plan Map, and General Commercial (C-3) on the official City Zoning Map. The C-3 zoning for the site allows local commercial uses only. The existing nonconforming residential use on the property is limited to a 50% expansion pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding nonconforming uses. 2. The requested change will reduce the depth of the commercial designated property, as measured from Pacific Coast Highway westward, from 200 to 155 feet, and replace the commercial designations on the subject property to allow residential development for up to two units consistent with the Medium Density Residential classification of the General Plan and the R-2 Zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance. 3. The property .at 726 10th Street has been in continuing use for residential purposes since the 1920's. 4. Properties to the south and west are designated Medium Density Residential on the General Plan and zoned R-2, which allows residential development up to a density of 25 units per acre, and is currently developed with a mix of single and multi -family uses. Across Tenth Street to the north, the property is designated Medium Density Residential on the General Plan, with an inconsistent zoning designation of C-3. It is currently developed with a residential trailer park.

Section 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the City Council makes the following findings pertaining to the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change: 1. The proposed' amendment to the General Plan Map to reduce the depth of the General Commercial designation by excluding 726 Tenth Street, from 155 feet to 200 feet, is not in the best interest of the City with respect to long-term land use and development along the Pacific Coast Highway commercial corridor. 2. The General Plan Map accurately depicts the appropriate depth for commercial development and long-term land use and development of this area. 3. Reducing the potential depth for commercial development would preclude the opportunity for new commercial activity or the expansion of existing commercial development along the subject segment of Pacific Coast Highway. Section 6. Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby denies the request to amend the Land Use Map of the General Plan. Section 7. By virtue of the denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment, it would be contrary to State Law to approve the Zone Change because such a change would render the zoning designation inconsistent with the general plan designation. Therefore, the Zone Change is hereby denied. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this day of ,2003 PRESIDENT of the City Council and MAYOR of the City of Hermosa Beach, California A1-thST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY CLERK CITY ATTORNEY 12 years of operation. Mr. Manaurian noted for Commissioner F errotti that he plans on incorporating double -paned glass in the patio area. Vice -Chairman Hoffman expressed, echoed by Commissioner Kersenboorn, his concern that approval of the applicant's request for a 2:00 A.tvi. closing time and the sale of general alcohol will result in a change in operation, from a restaurant to a bar, and that the proposed changes will most likely result in complaints of noise and other nuisances. Jim Lissner, Hermosa Beach, urged the City to be consistent in its decision making; and highlighted the owner's -clean track record with this business. There being no further public input, Vice -Chairman Hoffman closed the public hearing. Director Blumenfeld noted for Commissioner Perrotti that if it is the owner's intent to install double - glazed windows and an air handling system this must be indicated on the plans; and added that the doors and windows must be dosed during live entertainment performances. Commissioner Tucker expressed his belief that extending the closing time to 2:00 A.M. will increase the potential for complaints; and stated that he would not be opposed to extending the hours to 12:00 midnight, but that he would be opposed to granting a general alcohol operation for this establishment so close to residential uses along the Strand. Commissioner Perrotti expressed his concern that. approval of this request could result in another bar or club operation at this site in the future if this business changes ownership; and noted his support for extending the hours of operation to 12:00 midnight. Given the granting of a CUP for this site, Vice -Chairman Hoffman highlighted the need to anticipate the future operation at this site and expressed his belief that this request will create a change in use from a restaurant to a bar operation. MOTION by Vice -Chairman Hoffman, seconded by Commissioner Kersenboom, to ADOPT staff recommendation to deny CUP 02-8 -- Conditional Use Permit amendment to allow on -sale general alcohol; non -amplified live entertainment; a take-out food service window; to add bar seating in the patio area and extended hours of operation in conjunction with an existing restaurant; adoption of an Environmental Negative Declaration at 1100 The Strand, Scotty's; and moved that this matter be returned to ,the Planning Commission for the modification of the existing CUP, extending the hours of operation toi2:00 midnight. The motion carried as follows: AYES: Hoffman, Kersenboom, Perrotti, Tucker NOES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Pizer Vice -Chairman Hoffman recessed the meeting at 9:00 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 9:07 P.M' 9.

Staff Recommended Action: To direct staff as deemed appropriate. Director ulUmenfEId adJISEd that the project site 4.860 square feet, a .inh�,e- amity residence constructed in the 1920's, and is located on the south side of 10'" Street: noted that the lot is located at a depth of 155 to 200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway; and explained that 1041 Street dead -ends from both the easterly and westerly directions and that a planted and curbed barrier sits directly in front of the property. He stated that the existing use is nonconforming in this C-3 zone and that it would be limited to a 50 -percent maximum expansion. Director Blumenfeld mentioned that the older zoning and land use maps prior to 1965 show the commercial depth at 110 feet. He explained that the property directly to the south and behind this lot is zoned R-2 and is residentially_ developed; and that it is the applicant's desire to re -designate and rezone this lot to MD Residential and R-2, which would allow for exclusive residential use of the lot for a single-family home or a 2 - unit development — pointing out that a 2 -unit development would result in a density that is consistent with the surrounding residential densities and would be compatible with the surrounding pattern of development in the area. He advised that if the Planning Commission approves this request, it would preclude any future expansion of Pacific Coast Highway fronting commercial properties and would preclude separate use of this lot for commercial use. He mentioned that Exxon/Mobil has indicated no interest in incorporating this lot into its service station property; and he added that it is -the City Council's direction to maintain the commercial depths along Pacific Coast Highway. Director Blumenfeld advised that the applicant is proposing that this lot is unique because of the street barrier that sits in front of the lot and that commercial development of this L-shaped lot is extremely limited and not the best use for the primarily residential neighborhood. Further, he noted that the depth of the commercial zone is greater at the south side of 10"' Street than the adjacent block to the south and the other streets between 8`h and 10`'' Streets. He noted that the R.V. park use across the street is also inconsistent with the General Plan. Given that the zoning in this section of the Pacific Coast Highway corridor is C-3 rather than S.F.A, Director Blumenfeld stated that the lot has no other opportunity for new residential use other than the limited expansion allowable under the nonconforming ordinance. He stated that this property does have some unique conditions and that it may warrant some special consideration relative to the applicant's request. Director Blumenfeld noted for Commissioner Perrotti that it might be possible to load the driveway on the westerly end of the lot and still not disturb the location of the barrier. Vice -Chairman Hoffman opened the public hearing. Gloria Kolesar, 714 10'1' Street, Hermosa Beach, applicant, made the following corrections in the report: that the R-3 designation and General Plan reference to her application should be amended to reflect R-2. Medium Density. Director Blumenfeld advised that he concurs with the highlighted amendments. Ms. Kolesar presented a videotape that addressed her request for the subject site and addressed the neighboring businesses and residential areas. Ms. Kolesar explained that her L-shaped property is much deeper than any of. the other properties in a five -block area; and that the property has a med ium density to the south, west and north, putting it deeper into a residential area. She confirmed that Exxon is not interested in purchasing this lot due to its .odd- configuration; and pointed out that condominiums and houses run down the entire length of this block. She Planning Commission Minutes 12-04-02 • • expressed her belief that the 21 -unit R.V. park across the street and the nearby church do not conform to the General Han. She stated that this lot does not have the essentials to make it a good commercial property, such as adequate use, circulation and visibility. Ms. Kolesar explained that this property is considered a legal, nonconforming property; that because of the existing restrictions, approximately 250 square feet could be added to the original footprint and that this would not be a useful living space, and, therefore, creates no incentive to improve this property because of this restriction. Because of the setback requirements with an R-2 zone next to a commercial use, she expressed her belief that setback requirements would severely [mit the frontage for commercial use. She added that she was not able to find in the City any stand-alone C-3 lots facing on a side street with residential uses on three sides; and mentioned that this property has a significant cul-de-sac as its frontage and does not lend itself to commercial use. She urged the Planning Commission to grant her request and allow the property to be used in the same manner as it has for the past 80 years. Ms. Kolesar stated that this site will create property tax revenue for the City; and she summarized the uniqueness of this site: cul-de-sac in the front of the property, property situated 150 to 200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway, barrier at the front of the property, and residential use all the way around on 3 sides. Director Blumenfeld noted for Commissioner Tucker that the Public Works Department has not provided any input on removal of the barrier; stated that the Public Works Department has replaced and improved similar type barriers within the City; and expressed his belief that, if necessary, this barricade could be relocated somewhat at the applicant's expense with redevelopment of the property. Commissioner Perrotti expressed his belief that this property is not that unique and that it could be adequately merged and developed with the gas station site — highlighting the increasing closures of gas stations upon merging with other gas companies. Commissioner Kersenboom concurred with Commissioner Perrotti's comments; noted his reluctance to change the zoning; and stated that adding this lot to the commercial lot at the front just might accommodate a better use in the near future with the possible closure of the gas station. Commissioner Tucker pointed out that a similar request across the street had been denied by the Planning Commission; and addressed the need to maintain the depth of the properties in the commercial corridor along Pacific Coast Highway — pointing out his hesitancy to lose that added square footage that will be needed for commercial development in,the future. Vice -Chairman Hoffman highlighted what he perceives is an incongruity between the zoning map and the general plan map; expressed his belief that if it this property is not merged with the current Exxon site , the only viable thing this lot could be used for would be if there was an intensification of use, for instance, on the Rocky Cola site, where they would want offsite parking; and noted that this scena rio would not be acceptable. MOTION by Commissioner Perrotti, seconded by Commissioner Tucker, to DENY GP 02-2/ZON 02-2 -- General Plan Amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Medium Density Residential (MD) and a Zone Change from General Commercial -(C-3). to Two -Family Residential (R-2) or to such other designation/zone as deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission and adoption of an Environmental Negative Declaration at 726 10`" Street.

Kolesar and Gloria Kciesar 714 101n St. Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 For: City Manager and City Council RE: Application for a general plan amendment from General Commerciai (GC) to Medium Density (MD) and a zone change from C-3 to R-2 for 726 10"' St., Hermosa Beach. This addendum is to supplement the attached four-page letter with pictures and charts previously provided Council members in December of 2002. It is best to again review the original four-page letter and then read this addendum for continuity. It is the facts, the details, and the understanding of the same that warrant deeper analysis and special consideration that is "unique" to this property. Realizing "how" 726 is different from other properties who have applied for a general plan amendment and zone change is necessary. It was said that, "726 was like the other properties who've had their applications denied." This is not correct and we find that concerning. Realizing first that the "zoning" for the property is primary, it is also important to know how that difference affects that specific property. Upon review of those four properties who most recently applied for a zone change and general plan amendment, we found that three of them were single stand-alone lots and the fourth was the "Learned property." Of these four, three had SPA -7 zoning and one had a C-1 zoning. 726 has a "C-3" zoning. They are very different. 726 is a 600 square foot single-family residence, on a stand-alone lot. Its C-3 zoning is "legal" but "non -conforming." It is limited to improvements of no more than 50% of the value and if there was damage or loss of more than 50%, the residence could not be rebuilt. That same property with a SPA -7 zoning is "legal" and "conforming." It could be rebuilt, expanded, and improved to the limits of its established use and is not affected by damage and loss. Review of SPA 7 and 8 comprehensively accommodates varied uses—allowing for improvements, development, and merger that benefits all concerned. Why was 726 not included in an SPA zone? If 726 was not surrounded by R-2 properties, SPA -7 could accommodate our need to be able to at least improve and expand, or rebuild 726. There are a n umber of other significant differences but since their zonings are different, it's clear that 726 is not like the other properties. As previously indicated in our four-page letter, we found no good reason to develop 726 as It is presently zoned (C-3), but a long list of why It would not be wise. i\lamely, It lacks the elements necessary for a successful 0-3 business: 1 . Use pctentiai 2. Traffic flow and circulation—Because the street is closed with the cul-de-sac in the middle of its frontage. 3. Visibility—Being 155-200 feet from Pacific Coast Highway and behind the Mobil property. Having residential use on three sides, with a residence easterly on 9`h, 0-3 development would be an intrusion and not consistent with the neighborhood. Understanding the city's need to preserve the commercial corridor and wanting side street properties abutting highway frontage parcels to merge, Exxon -Mobil was contacted regarding any interest in acquiring 726. Their letter (attached) declined any interest. It should be noted that we have owned 726 for 30 years, during which time Mobil has been our commercial neighbor. We also have never been contacted by Mobil expressing any interest with any of the remodels at that site. In looking at the Mobil site, it already is in an "L" shape. The addition of 726 would only extend it deeper into a residential neighborhood. This could be problematic for any commercial business. 726 has been a residential property in a residential neighborhood for 80 years. As seen today, the ordinance that changed 726 from R-2 to C-3, in 1956, did little to effect any change in all those years. By limiting the potential for improvement and reasonable development (especially since 726 is 600 sq. ft.), the return to the city has been slight and most likely will remain that way unless its zoning of R-2 is reinstated to match its use. The benefit to the city would be substantial, provided by both property tax and utility tax revenue, with the development of 726 to its R-2 potential. Over time, this could be a considerable amount—with each change of ownership the tax base increases substantially—resulting in a stable return to the city. If 726 remains C-3, as it has now been for 40 years, it is most unlikely that 726 would look much different in the future than it does today. Handicapping us as owners, with very little return to the city, seems counte rproductive to both our needs. I would like to thank Mr. Yoon and Mr. Keegan for bringing this appeal before the City Council. I would also like to thank the members of the council who were able to meet with me. Sincerely, John R. Kolesar and Gloria Kolesar • 7 From: John R. Kolesar and Gloria Kolesar 714 10" St. • Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 For: City Manager and City Council RE: Application for a general plan amendment from General Commercial (GC) to Medium Density (MD) and a zone change from C-3 to R-2 for 726 10' St., Hermosa Beach. Now retired, we find our needs have changed and so has our neighborhood. The requested change to Medium Density on the General Plan and R-2 zoning would permit a two -unit condominium. It would be both consistent with the neighborhood as well as - an improvement to it. We would potentially have one as a residence and the other to rent or sell—a matter to be determined with the approval of this application. The following is to provide information and support our position for requesting the changes applied for with this application for 726 10`x' St. Thank you for your time and due consideration. We've owned 726 10" St., a single family residence on a 45 X 110 lot, for 30 years. Since its construction in the 20's-80 years ago—its only use has been residential. Similarly, the properties on three sides (South, West, and North) have had only residential use, ranging from 40-70 years. They are all designated Medium Density on the General Plan. The properties to the South and West are zoned R-2. The property to the North—a 21 unit trailer park—has a zoning of C-3. It should be noted that a study prepared by the Planning Department of Hermosa Beach in 1989 called "Inconsistencies Between Zoning and the General Plan" identified in Area 8 the trailer park as well as the church property to the North. It explained their C-3 zoning as inconsistent with both the General Plan designation of Medium Density and their use, and stated it would be appropriate to rezone both properties to R-2 Two Family Residential, thereby making their zoning consistent with the General Plan and use. We purchased 726 10`h St., a small single family home as a rental a few years after purchasing our residence at 714 101h St. We believed 726 10th St. was zoned R-2 like 714 10" St., but learned several years later it was in fact zoned C-3. City Planning clarified its use as "legal but non -conforming" which suited our needs over the years. For a number of years, we've wanted to make improvements to the 600 sq. ft. house. that sits at the back of the property. We've come to realize the limitations with the "legal non -conforming" designation of a C-3 property. Increases in square footage are limited to one half again its original square footage and if there was more than one half loss, it could not be rebuilt to its non -conforming use. With that, we determined it unwise and not financially prudent to make the improvements. We also have given due consideration to developing it as it is zoned (C-3). Unfortunately, we found no good reason to do so, but instead along list of why it would not be wise. We'd appreciate your careful review: 1 . As previousiy indicated, properties on 3 sides, as well as 726 10`h St., have residential use. In fact, the entire neighborhood all the way down to Ardmore - is residential. 0-3 development would be an intrusion and not consistent the neighborhood. Use potential is said to be a main ,ele.ment to successful development. There is no traffic flow or circulation on 10'h St. west of Pacific Coast Hiahwav because the street dead ends at the cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac is approximately 175 feet from Pacific Coast Hiahwav and is in the middle of the frontaae of 726 10'" St. It is curbed, planted, and has a pipe and wood barricade that is locked. The curbing is painted red for approximately 30 feet both east and west of the barricade. Those painted areas on both sides of the barricade are for turning around. The need for the cul-de-sac was realized over twenty years ago to mitigate a dangerous traffic flow which dramatically increased because of the closure of the street between Windmill Park and the then -to -be, and now, Ralph's Center.- Traffic previously flowed north on P.C.H., but with the change and the alignment with 10th St., traffic traveled down 101h St. instead of going to Pier Avenue and used Ardmore like P.C.H. Traffic flow and circulation are said to be main elements to successful commercial development, especially C-3. 3. 726 fronts on 10th St. -155 to 200 feet from P.C.H. It is behind the Mobil property. There is no visibility from the South and limited visibility from the North, East, and at the busy intersection of Aviation and P.C.H. 4. It was concerning to realize that upon review, no representative or similar property in Hermosa Beach could be found developed to C-3 that was: A. A stand alone lot; B. Facing onto a side street; C. Residential use on 3 sides; D. A cul-de-sac in the middle of frontage; E. 155-200 feet from P.C.H.; it is the deepest stand alone property on a side street zoned C-3. F. There are no properties that fit just A, B, or C, let alone meeting all of the above criteria. • • 5. C-3 zoning provides no alternative for development like S.P.A. zoning. Similar properties on side streets off P.C.H. with S.P.A. zoning do have alternatives. One of the provisions that applies is Section B: "A property being exclusively used for residential purposes at the date of the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be permitted to be continued as a residential use. maintainina its conformina status, and rnav be remodeled or redevelooed as a residential use as lona as the density (number of dwelling units) is not increased. 6. C-3 rear and side yard setbacks adjacent to residential property further limit development at 726 10" St. "A minimum rear and/or side yard setback of 8 feet shall be provided, and an additional 2 feet of setback shall be provided for each story over the first story for structures that abut residential zones." (From the City Zoning Code.) This would require potential rear and/or side yard setbacks of 12 feel if 3 stories, which translates to 1860 sq. ft. lost to setbacks. This amount is more than one third of the total square footage of 4950 sq. feet. Please review the following points which we feel are most significant: 1. Understanding the City's need to preserve the commercial corridor and wanting side street properties abutting highway frontage properties to potentially merge, we decided it was an option to pursue. Mr. Nuntsberry, West Coast Real Estate Coordinator of Exxon -Mobil, was contacted regarding any interest Exxon -Mobil might have in acquiring our 726 10" St. property. Additional information was sent for his review and also that of the Marketing Division. As the attached letter indicates, Exxon -Mobil declines interest in acquiring our 726 10' St. property. 2. Review of the General Plan (attached) with regard to the general commercial designation along P.C.H. shows it extending much deeper at 10th St. than the other blocks from 8th St. to 111h St, which otherwise form a relatively straight line. Mobil forms an "L" configuration because its depth on 10" St. is 155 feet and on 9" St., it is 110 feet. 726 10th St. would be 155-200 feet off P.C.H. and an intrusion to the residential.neighborhood. 3. 736 Gould, a large residential condominium complex west of the Hermosa Hotel demonstrates that errors may exist. Its General Plan designation is General Commercial and its zoning is C-3 rather than as its use dictates, which would he residential designations for both the General Plan and zoning. in conclusion, 'ive feel the preceding demonstrates that 726 i(j`i St. is a unique property. Changing its General Plan designation to Medium Density and zoning to `,"douio be consistent with the neiah orhood and would also benefit the City with revenues with the improvement of a 2 -unit condominium.

Background: The attached ordinance amends the City's taxicab ordinance so as to expressly authorize the issuance of exclusive franchises, consistent with the City Council's direction to seek proposals for an exclusive franchise. The proposed ordinance authorizes the issuance of one or more exclusive franchises as an alternative to the existing permit system. It establishes the procedure by which franchise proposals are solicited and reviewed. The proposed ordinance also provides that existing taxicab permittees that are not issued a franchise will be allowed ninety days within which to cease operations with the City once an exclusive franchise is awarded. An alternative Council may want to consider would be to allow these permittees to operate until their permits expire; most permits expire in summer, 2003. Respectfully submitted, Stephen R. Burrell City Manager. '12/26/2002 08:08 3106438441 JENKINS & HOGIN LLP ORDINANCE NO.

Mayor and President of the City Council Attest: City Clerk Tuesday, January 21, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of The Hermosa Beach City Council Regular meeting of January 28, 2003 REQUEST TO REJECT ALL TAXI CAB FRANCHISE PROPOSALS AND RE -BID THE FRANCHISE PROPOSAL A SECOND TIME RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council: 1. Reject all proposals submitted. 2. Direct staff to re -bid the franchise proposal a second time to be retumed to the City Council at their regular meeting of March 11. 2003. 3. Provide direction to staff on whether or not combination proposals submitted by large or small taxi companies would be allowed. BACKGROUND At their regular meeting of September 24, 2002, the City Council approved the Request for Proposal (RFP) document to initiate the bid process for the selection of a taxi franchise for the City of Hermosa Beach. On or about October 1, the Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent out to the local cab companies. A pre -proposal conference was held on October 17, 2002 to answer any concems or questions from the potential vendors. All proposals were due on November 7, 2002. A total of three proposals were received. Proposals were received from Bell Cab Company of Hawthorne, Califomia; United Independent Taxi of Los Angeles; and a joint proposal was received from All Yellow Taxi and South Bay Yellow Cab (Administrative Services Co-op) both located in Gardena, California. Since the submission of the proposals, staff has received a letter from the attorney representing Bell Cab protesting the proposals. Under the advice of the City Attorney, it is recommended that all proposals be rejected at this time and that staff be directed to re -bid the franchise proposal once again. Staff further request direction on whether or not joint/combination proposals can be submitted by those interested taxi companies, large or small Once the project has been re -bid, staff will retum with a recommendation to the City Council at their regular meeting of March 11, 2003.

Background: On May 14, 2002, the Council approved the installation of speed humps on Hillcrest Drive. Construction on this resurfacing project has begun. On November 12, 2002, Council received a request from residents of 9th Street for the installation of speed humps. After a discussion, staff was directed to have a speed survey done before this was presented to the Public Works Commission. The survey has been completed and will be part of the Commission's packet when it considers the request. Staff prepared a draft policy that was recommended by the Commission and considered by the Council at its meeting of December 10, 2002. During its consideration of the draft policy, Councilmembers raised numerous concerns regarding, among other issues: the purpose of speed humps; the criteria that should be employed in determining eligibility; whether residents should be allowed to pay for the cost of speed humps whether or not their streets satisfied the criteria or were considered less of a priority than other streets; by what mechanism would the City determine priority if budgeted funds do not permit installation of humps on every street for which a request is submitted. Based on Council's comments, staff is preparing a revised draft policy, scheduled for consideration by the Commission at its February 19th meeting. The Commission will also at that meeting take up the request from 9th Street. Staff plans to bring the revised policy, with Commission input, to the Council meeting of February 25, 2003 for your consideration. At your last meeting, on January 14, Council asked that this matter be agendized for tonight's meeting. However, in light of the foregoing, it is recommended that this matter be deferred to February 25, 2003. Respectfully submitted, Stephen R. Burrell City Manager January 9, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of January 14, 2002 PETITION FOR INSTALLATION OF SPEED HUMPS ON LOMA DRIVE BETWEEN 8m STREET AND PIER AVENUE r /...r _ Recommendation: That the City Council consider the petition from the residents on Loma Drive and provide direction to staff Background: The petitions received from the residents on Loma have been presented at this time so the humps could be installed under the repaving contract that the City Council will be considering. As the City Council will recall, the proposed speed hump policy was considered at your December 10, 2002 meeting and referred back to staff and the Public Woks Commission for additional input before final action was taken to adopt a policy and guidelines. The proposed policy that was considered included a provision that other measures be taken before speed humps were installed. These measures could include a number of items such as stop signs, additional signing, etc. that are designed to slow down traffic. In addition, the Council discussion or direction was to require the residents of the streets asking for the humps to pay for them. No method of collecting these funds was included in the discussion. It could simply be left to the residents to bring in the required funds before the work is started. In any case, in order for the City to respond to the petition, staff needs some additional direction since the policy and guidelines for this issue are still being developed. In the meantime, we can ask the contractor for a price to install the speed humps and return to the City Council with the number, location and cost for this addition to the project. This report would be available for the City Council at their meeting of February 25, 2003. In the event the decision is made to install the speed humps, a decision in this time frame would allow the work to be done as part of the resurfacing. - Respectfully submitted, Stephen R.

Page 11002 November 25, 2002 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of the Hermosa Beach City Council December 10, 2002 PROPOSED SPEED HUMP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES APPROVAL Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Proposed Speed Hump Policies and Procedures. Summary: Concerns have been expressed regarding speeding on residential streets in the City. With more and more residents requesting that the City mitigate this undesirable problem, the City Council has directed staff to develop policies and procedures for the installation of speed humps in the streets of Hermosa Beach. The attached Speed Hump Policies and Procedures were submitted to the Public Works Commission for review and comments on July 17, 2002. The Commission voted to support the Policies and Procedures with the addition of language that the Commission review requests prior to going to City Council. This language has been added. Background: Speeding on residential streets is a common occurrence throughout the City. Unfortunately, there are no easy solutions to this problem. The California Vehicle Code establishes the speed limit at 25 mph on all residential streets. The Police Department presently is using selective enforcement of speed limits on residential streets. This has been found to be effective as a tool for controlling speeds in Hermosa Beach. Because of the high number of requests that the City Council receives for the installation of speed humps to curb speeding, City Council has directed staff to develop policies and procedures for their use in the City. Speed humps have met with widespread acceptance in many communities as a speed -reducing device. As you know, speed humps (also known as undulations) are not official traffic control devices as approved by the State of California. They are considered to be road treatments used to reduce and control speeds on residential streets. According to Dr. Wolfgang S. Hamburger of the University of California at Berkeley, "the survey performed jointly by the Federal Highway Administration and the City of Thousand Oaks, Califomia, found that twenty (20) responding jurisdictions had installed undulations, six (6) more were planning to install them, and sixty-three (63) others were evaluating the possibility. By early 1986, Thousand Oaks and Pasadena, California, each had about sixty (60) undulation installations and had not experienced any adverse traffic safety incidents related to them? Copy of Minutes attached. Purpose of Speed Humps: The following information was taken from the "Residential Street Design and Traffic Control and Institute of Transportation Engineers" publication. The basic purpose of pavement undulations (speed humps) is obviously to reduce speed. However, the actual design of the undulations is critical to their ability to achieve this. Tests have also shown that some designs produce less discomfort at higher speeds than at lower ones, in direct contradiction to their purpose. The most successful undulation units have the design features recommended below. a. Effect on Traffic Volume. Undulations usually cause at least small traffic volume reductions on the streets where they are employed. This is natural since the undulations introduce slower speeds and a discomfort factor to the street in question. The extent to which diversion occurs is largely dependent on the configuration of and flow conditions on the area street system rather than on the properties of the undulation installation. However, a series of closely spaced undulations are likely to produce more diversion than a broadly spaced sequence. b. Effect on Traffic Speed. Undulations have been shown to reduce the 85th percentile speed on the average between 14 and 20 mph at the device itself and to also produce substantial reductions in speeds on the road segments between undulations. The extent of speed reduction achieved between undulations is related to the spacing distance between undulations. At spacing under 800 feet (250 m), undulations exert a rather continuous effect on drivers' choices of speeds, but at greater separation distance they have an effect only in their immediate vicinity (very much like a stop sign). c. Effect on Noise, Air Quality, and Energy. Consumption. When used on low- volume local streets, undulations normally produce small reductions (1 to 2 decibels) in average sound levels both at and in between devices. On busier streets or streets with significant truck volumes, noise levels can increase. d. Effect on Traffic Safety. A 1983 study of pavement undulations by a subcommittee of the California Traffic Control Devices . Committee found that between 150 and 200 million vehicle crossings of the 150 to 160 undulations on public streets in the state had taken place without Incident. No cases of motorists losing control of a vehicle were reported, and, while a few claims for damages to. vehicles allegedly caused by the undulations had been filed, in only one instance had a plaintiff been provided compensation (less than $20). Emergency vehicles, buses, and large trucks must pass over the undulations at relatively slow speeds (under 20 mph) or else significant jolts to the vehicle, discomfort to occupants, and jostling of cargo will be experienced. Desirable design and location features • In profile the undulation should have a generally circular arc cross-section on a 12 -foot (3.5 m) chord with a maximum midpoint height of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and an allowable construction tolerance of plus or minus 0.5 inch (1.2 cm). (This recommended height is less flan the 4 -inch (10 cm) value recommended in early research reports). The undulation should extend across 2 the roadway with the last 1 to 3 feet (0.3 to 1.0 m) tapered so that it becomes flush with the gutter pan to maintain drainage lbws. • Undulations should be placed singly. Closely spaced pairs, though utilized successfully by some jurisdictions, do not appear any more or less effective than single undulations. • Undulations should be placed approximately 550 feet (165 m) or less apart. • Undulations should be placed at least 200 feet (60 m) away from intersections and sharp horizontal curves and be otherwise located so they are clearly visible for at least 200 feet (60 m) • Specific positioning of undulations should consider access to utilities, driveway locations, and existing illumination. • The undulations should be marked with waming signs at the device and pavement messages in advance. Advance waming signs, advisory speed plates, and pavement markings on the device are optional • Unfortunately, major and collector streets, which are residential in character, are those on which traffic speed is a significant issue. However, undulations should not be utilized on these classes of streets because the level of restraint they impose is inconsistent with the functional purpose of the streets. • Undulations should not be used on grades greater than 5 percent. • Undulations should not be placed on primary emergency vehicle access/egress routes nor on important transit routes. To sum up, with the widespread acceptance of speed humps as being a speed controlling device, it is in the City's best interest to have policies and procedures that clearly delineate the process and criteria by which the City will approve the installation of speed humps. The proposed criteria are as follows: 1. The street must have a speed limit of 25 mph as determined in accordance with State Law. The need to reduce speed substantially at speed humps would not make these devices appropriate for streets posted higher than 25 mph because of the severe speed differential such an installation would create along the street. Severe differentials between the speeds of vehicles on a street are known to contribute to traffic accidents. 2. The street shall be no more than one lane in each direction. 3. The street should not be a truck route or a transit route. 4. The street should not have grades greater than 5%. It is further proposed that speed humps will only be considered for installation on local residential streets determined by the Public Works Department to have adequate vertical and horizontal alignment for safe sight distance. Also, that the street should not be a primary access route for emergency vehicles. 3 •! The proposed procedures for the installation of speed humps outline the steps a representative of a local residential street must take in order to initiate the speed hump investigation process. Alternatives: 1. Approve proposal as is. 2. Approve proposal with modifications. 3. Send report back to staff for further study. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Attachments: 1.

Speed humps are long and flat and are generally 2 5/8 inches high and twelve (12) feet long. There may be certain beneficial side effects to speed humps installations, such as a reduction in arterial traffic diverted to local streets, but the intended purpose is speed control. POLICY All requests for speed hump shall go before the Police and Fire Department and the Public Works Commission prior to consideration by the City Council It is the policy of the City of Hermosa Beach to require that the following standards be met prior to consideration of speed humps installations on any street for traffic calming purposes. STANDARDS 1. Speed humps shall only be considered on non -designated emergency response routes as defined by the City of Hermosa Beach Fire Department 2. The installation of speed humps shall take place only after all other viable traffic control measures have failed to deter drivers from exceeding the speed limit, including. • Traffic engineering improvements • Increased signage • Increased law enforcement 3. All streets being considered for speed humps shall be evaluated using the criteria evaluation sheet shown in Figure 1. It is important to note that the criterion pertaining to • the Fire Department shall be completed by Fire Department staff (#'s 3, 17, 18, & 19). The criteria evaluation sheet shall be submitted to the Fire Department, with a written description of the proposed speed hump installation. The completed criteria evaluation sheet shall be submitted back to the Public Works Department for processing. 4. Streets considered for speed humps shall have a speed limit of no greater than 30 miles per hour. 5. Speed humps shall be considered on local residential streets where there is a demonstrated speed problem as evidence by at least 50% of the drivers exceeding the prima fascia speed by at least 20% (Le., for 25 mph 50% of drivers > 30 mph). 6. A minimum of two speed humps is recommended for each installation. Therefore, study area of at least 600 -feet long is required to install at least two speed humps. Cul-de-sac 1 Policy for Speed Hump Installations City of Hermosa Beach or dead end streets longer than 1,000 feet in length may qualify for the speed hump program. 7. The standard spacing for speed humps is at least 200 feet. 8. Speed humps shall be installed on streets that have a horizontal curve of 200 -foot radius or more. 9. Speed humps installed on a vertical curve must have adequate stopping sight distance, and 4hall be visible fora minimum of 200 feet in advance of the hump. 10. The preferred location for speed humps is adjacent to streetlights, whenever possible. 11. Speed humps shall not be installed over manholes, water valves, or other utility vaults. 12. Engineering and Fire Department staff shall combine to plan, coordinate and evaluate possible speed hump installations. This joint effort will be considered a "Review Committee" for all speed hump requests.

Policy for Speed Hump Installations City of Hermosa Beach � - c CITIZEN REQUEST Requests for installation, modification and/or removal of speed humps may be initiated by a citizen request in accordance with the process outlined below: 1. All requests shall be made by formal petition (petition to be prepared and provided by City staff). A separate petition chill . be used for each street. Only one signature per household (see Figure 2 — Sample Petition). 2. For locations that are immediately adjacent to a School District, the school principal must coordinate with the School Traffic and Safety Committee, including the PTA. The signature of an authorized representative from the School Traffic and Safety Committee and the PTA must support the principal's signature. Private arhools require the signature of the principal, preferably supported by the head of the school's governing body. 3. Corner properties often have addresses on streets different from the speed hump request. Because these properties are impacted by the installation of speed humps these addresses must be included when obtaining signatures. 4. Completed petitions shall be delivered or mailed to: City of Hermosa Beach Public Works Department Civic Centers 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 5. After the petition had been received by the Public Works Director/City Engineer, the following validation process shall be completed: • Verify the number if signatures per petition sheet. A proportion of 75% establishes majority support. The petition must have language that clearly explains the potential impacts of speed humps. • The petition areas shall be within the limits of the defined street segment determined as impacted by City's engineering staffi • If the number of citizen requests is in excess of staff resources b concurrently process them, staff will prepare a listing of requests, prioritized by date of receipt. • Staff will prepare a recommendation to the Public Works Commission and the City Council if the request(s) are consistent with the City of Hermosa Beach process for speed humps and installation is warranted as identified in the criteria evaluation sheet. • The Director of Public Works/City Engineer shall publish a notice of a public hearing at which point the commission(s) and the City Council will consider the request for speed humps. All affected residents will be invited to appear and address the 4 Policy for Speed Hump Installations City of Hermosa Beach V. commission(s) and/or City Council. Public hearing notices shall be mailed to all affected residents at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. 6. Upon recommendation by the Public Works Commission, the City Council shall decide if speed humps should be installed along any given street segments as conditions warrant Neighborhood -funded installation: The City of Hermosa Beach handles requests in the order received. Privately funded locations are not given priority in the study process. However, construction may begin immediately after the City of Hermosa Beach written approval has been received. Petitioners of approved but un -funded locations may choose to retain a contractor and privately finance the speed humps installation, per the City of Hermosa Beach requirements, through the permit process of the City. Once a location has been approved, and only after the petitioners have indicated in writing a willingness to privately fund the installation, the City will prepare a drawing indicating the number and location of humps, signs, and pavement messages required. The City Engineer will mark the speed hump and warning sign locations along each segment of the street with paint to facilitate construction. Installation costs vary from location to location, depending on the width of the street and the number of humps and warning signs. Construction costs range from a low of $4,000 to a high of $20,000. 5 Policyjar Speed Hump Installations City of Hermosa Beach Figure 2: PETITION REQUESTING TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ON STREET NAME: Speed Humps We, the undersigned residents of STREET NAME between A Drive and B Drive, do hereby request the City of Hermosa Beach, California to install speed humps or our street in order to slow speeding drivers.

City Council Minutes 05-14-02 Page 10828 Honorable Mayor and Members of The Hermosa Beach City Council May 6, 2002 Regular Meeting of May 14, 2002 REQUEST FOR SPEED HUMPS ON HILLCREST DRIVE BETWEEN 1e STREET AND 21 sr STREET Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council provide direction to Staff. Summary: Residents on Hillcrest Drive between 18th Street and 21St Street have expressed concern for traffic safety in their neighborhood and have requested that speed humps be installed to address their concern. At its March meeting, the Public Works Commission received a report from Staff recommending that the Commission advise Council to deny the request. The Commission voted to table the item and directed Staff to do a survey of the affected neighbors. At the April 9 Council meeting, Council, in effect, denied the approval of the installation of speed humps on a trial basis on Palm Drive between Pier Avenue and 14th Street. Further, Council indicated that it is not interested in installing speed humps on any street in he City. This is Staffs reason for bringing this issue to Council now. Background: A pavement reconstruction program for Hillcrest Drive is currently under review by the Public Works Department and input has been solicited from the residents of this street regarding their opinions about the program. Some of the input received indicated that there may be a speeding problem on this street segment and that speed humps should be considered for installation. Hillcrest Drive is a two-lane, two-way street with parking on both sides and a roadway width of 28 feet. Discussion: Hillcrest Drive was monitored on various occasions and speed surveys were conducted to measure the travel speeds on Hillcrest Drive between 18th Street and 21st Street. .The observations indicate that there is a surge in traffic activity at the beginning and ending of the school day for the school on Prospect Avenue and that some motorists drive at excessive speeds along Hillcrest Drive. The speed profile is not, however, indicative of a significant speeding problem. The speed limit on Hillcrest Drive is 25 miles per hour (mph). The speed surveys indicated that 17 percent of the vehicles were traveling at speeds of 15 mph or less, that 28 percent of the vehicles were traveling at speeds between 16 and 20 mph, that 47 percent of the vehicles were traveling between 21 and 25 mph, that 6 percent of the vehicles were traveling between 26 and 30 mph, and that 2 percent were traveling over 30 mph. The highest speed observed was 33 mph and the 85th percentile speed was 24 mph. The 85th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling. It is generally used in the traffic • engineering profession as the critical indicator of travel speeds (as opposed to the average speed). The speed surveys were taken during the morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up periods for the school. The distribution of travel speeds during these survey periods is not typically considered to be indicative of a speeding problem on a street with a 25 mph speed limit, as the 85th percentile speed (24 mph) is below the 25 mph speed limit. As the speed characteristics that were observed are not representative of a speeding problem, Hillcrest Drive would not typically be considered as a candidate location for the installation of speed humps. However, if the street pavement were to be reconstructed, the average travel speeds may increase in the future. If the speeds were to increase substantially or if there were strong support for speed humps among the residents of the street (e.g., documented support by at least two-thirds of the total number of property owners) regardless of the results of the speed survey, then the City should pursue the possibility of installing speed humps. Based on the current information, however, the Staff recommendation is not to install speed humps on Hillcrest Drive. The current information is that the reported speeding problem is not supported by the results of the speed survey and that 7 out of 12 residents that responded to a questionnaire are in favor of installing speed humps on Hillcrest Drive. As a point of clarification, speed humps are not the same as speed bumps. Speed bumps are typically installed in parking lots and on internal private streets and are typically 1 to 3 feet in width and 4 to 6 inches in height Speed humps are 12 feet wide and 3 to 4 inches in height, thereby creating a gentler rolling motion for motorists instead of an abrupt jolt Speed humps are acceptable for installation on public streets, while speed bumps are not. The primary objective of speed humps is to reduce excessive travel speeds. Their use is often discouraged on public streets because they may affect emergency response times for fire, police, and paramedic vehicles and because many people consider them aesthetically undesirable. Alternatives: 1. Send item back to Public Works Commission for further study. 2. Take no action. Attachment: Location Map Respectfully submitted, Concur. Harold C. Williams, P.E. Stephen R.

Respectfully submi Stephen R. Burrell City Manager January 23, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of January 28, 2002 RESOLUTION URING THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO REJECT THE GOVERNOR'S SHIFT OF LOCAL VLF REVENUES AND HONOR A 1998 COMMITMENT TO RESTORE THE VLF IF BACKFILL REVENUES COULD NOT BE MAINTAINED Recommendation: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution supporting restoration of the VLF to local government. Background: The attached resolution traces the history of the VLF beginning in 1935 as a City and County property tax, through the 1998 reduction of VLF payments by vehicle owners. The legislative intent when the reductions were made that if the state could not continue the "VLF backfill", then the VLF would be restored to an amount needed to continue the backfill to local government. A bill has been introduced in the Assembly to restore the full VLF fees. It is AB4X. This is now expected to be heard on the Assembly floor on Thursday, January 23, 2003 after Policy Committee hearings on Wednesday or Thursday morning. The Governor's proposal is to reduce the amount received this year, 2002-03, by around 50% or $396,017. The entire VLF backfill for the 2003-04 fiscal year is $851,436. If the bill AB4X is enacted, the City would not lose these funds. Respectfully submitted, Stephen R. Burrell City Manager 7b RESOLUTION NO. 03- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, URGING THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO REJECT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED SHIFT OF LOCAL VLF REVENUES AND TO HONOR THE 1998 COMMITMENT TO RESTORE THE VLF. WHEREAS, prior to 1935, cities and counties collected property taxes on motor vehicles to fund essential local public health and safety services; and WHEREAS, in 1935, the Legislature first enacted the Vehicle License Fee (VLF) Act, replacing the property tax on vehicles with a 1.75 percent fee charged against the value of the motor vehicle; and WHEREAS, in 1948, the rate of the VLF was increased to 2 percent of the value of the vehicle; and WHEREAS, in 1986, the voters voted overwhelmingly to constitutionally dedicate the proceeds of the VLF to fund city and county services; and WHEREAS, in 1998, a period of strong economic growth, the Legislature approved the use of a portion of the rapidly growing state General Fund to reduce the VLF payments of vehicle owners. This amount, known as the "offset", grew in future years to a 67.5 percent offset against the amount owed. The amount paid to local governments in lieu of the reduced VLF payment is known as the "VLF backfill"; and WHEREAS, the 1998 legislation and subsequent enactments contain clear provisions that when insufficient funds are available to be transferred from the General Fund to fully fund the offsets and backfill amount that the VLF offset shall be reduced and VLF payments increased; and WHEREAS, VLF and backfill revenues constitute 15 to 25 percent of typical city and county general purpose revenues. On average, more than 60 percent of city general fund spending and more than half of county general funds go to front line law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and health care programs. WHEREAS, revenues derived from the VLF and backfill are of critical importance in funding vital local public health and safety services; and WHEREAS, any failure by the Legislature to maintain the VLF backfill or restore the VLF will cause widespread disruption in local government services essential to the well- being of California citizens and their cities and counties; and WHEREAS, Governor Davis' proposal to divert $4 billion in local VLF backfill payments over the next 17 months fails to honor the 1998 commitment and is a direct assault on local services that will be felt by every California resident; and WHEREAS, shifting $4.2 billion in locally controlled revenues for local services is neither equitable nor fair. No state program or department has been asked to shoulder such a disproportionate share of the budget pain. These cuts come on top of the nearly $5 billion each year that is transferred from local services to fund state obligations. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, that if the state General Fund can no longer afford the expense of part or all of the VLF "backfill" that the Legislature and Governor of California are hereby respectfully urged to implement the provisions of current law providing for the reduction of the VLF offset in bad economic times and to restore the VLF in an amount necessary to reduce the VLF backfill; and RESOLVED FURTHER, that the City of Hermosa Beach hereby expresses its profound appreciation to the legislators who support such VLF restoration legislation.

Things are moving quickly here in Sacramento. As you know, last Friday the Governor recommended the shift of over $4 billion in VLF backfill funds away from cities and counties over the next 18 months to fund other priorities. Yesterday we sent you a packet of information on proposed budget cuts, and asked you to carry out a series of near- and long-term actions relating to local government impacts in the Governor's budget proposal. Today we have a new and more urgent mission that really supersedes our memo of January 14. Yesterday afternoon Speaker Herb Wesson announced that he plans to move swiftly to introduce legislation to allow for restoration of the VLF funding for cities and counties. He said, "We're prepared to clarify the law to operate as intended — and restore the VLF to its normal level." The Speaker has specifically asked that cities and counties take action to support this effort. After conferring today by conference call with the League board of directors, we are writing to ask that your city use whatever internal processes you have in place to authorize the immediate transmittal of a letter to your legislators urging them to keep the promise legislators made to local government in 1998, and vote to restore the VLF. We further ask that you act immediately to adopt a resolution urging the legislature to reject the Governor's budget proposal to eliminate the VLF backfill, and • instead to vote to honor the 1998 commitment to restore the VLF; and that you transmit that resolution to your legislators. There are three key pieces of information available for your use: sample resolution, sample letter, and talking points. Please be sure to send us copies of any letters or resolutions you send to legislators. They should be addressed to: Jean Korinke, League Lobbyist, 1400 K Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, email: jkorinke a,cacities.org; fax 916.658.8240. (Please be advised that, because of the urgency of generating this visible support for restoration of the VLF, we are removing from our website Advocacy Center the materials we posted there yesterday relating to the VLF and cuts to redevelopment agencies. We will update and repost materials relating to other budget impacts in the near future.) The League will also work through the LOCAL coalition (Leave Our Community Assets Local) to encourage similar actions by our coalition partners among counties, special districts, unions, chambers of commerce, seniors' groups and other organizations that understand the importance of preserving local services. We believe that a vote on restoring the VLF will likely come in the next two weeks. Our failure to support this legislation (we have no bill number yet) could mean the end of VLF backfill payments to cities of over $1 billion each year. This could very well be our one and only chance to get this issue off the budget table, and we need to act now. We urge you to contact your legislators immediately to ask for their vote in favor of the partial VLF restoration, and to follow up with a letter and resolution as quickly as possible. 111:::::41 INDEPENDENT CITIES ASSOCIATION Post Office Box 1750, Palmdale, CA 93590-1750 • (877) 906-0941 • FAX (661) 285-0481 E-mail: independentcities@earthlink.net OFFICERS President Steve Napolitano Manhattan Beach First Vice President Joyce Streator Pasadena Second Vice President Bob Winningham Downey Third Vice President Al Leiga • Claremont Secretary Kelly McDowell El Segundo Treasurer Mike McCormick Vernon Past President Mark Paulson Alhambra BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mary Cammarano San Gabriel Beverly DiTomaso San Fernando Linda Gair Baldwin Park Juan Garcia La Habra Mike Gin Redondo Beach Larry Guidi Hawthorne Rob Hammond Monrovia Bob Holbrook Santa Monica Paul Richards Lynwood Mary Anne Saucedo Montebello Mike Touhey West Covina Frank Venti Monterey Park Dennis Zine Los Angeles MANAGEMENT Executive Director Deborah J.

The magnitude of the problem, whether $25 billion or $35 billion, however, is far greater than expected. Additionally, notwithstanding the assurances 'of the Legislature, ICA was convinced that consideration would be given to backfilling any State monetary shortfall at the expense of cities and counties. That's simply how the Legislature in California has conducted business in the past. ICA urges that all cities support the positions of the League of California Cities relative to the budget crisis and actively assist in facilitating the actions proposed in the attached January 15, 2003 League memorandum. All cities should immediately facilitate a letter (form attached) and send it to each of your State legislators. Personal contact would also be good. Let your friends in Sacramento know precisely what the loss of VLF would do to your city's ability to provide services. Very truly yours, / Steve Napolitano President ds Attachments c: Downey El Monte El Segundo Fullerton Gardena Glendale cIrndora Al Leiga, Chair Major Issues, Water & Legislation Committee Stephen Burrell, City Manager (w/attachments) Hawthorne Hermosa Beach Huntington Park Indio Inglewood Irwindale I :i Ilahra Lawndale Long Beach Los Angeles Lynwood Manhattan Beach Monrovia moniebello Monterey Park Palm Springs Pasadena Pomona Redondo Beach San Fernando San (7:thrirl San Marino Santa Clarita Santa Fe Springs Santa Monica Sierra Madre Signal Hill South (atr Upland Vernon West Covina Whittier Talking Points Concerning Restoring the VLF January 15, 2003 It's time to end the VLF holiday. • When the VLF offset was authorized in the 1990's, legislators from both parties agreed to language specifically providing that the fee would return to higher levels whenever "insufficient moneys are available" in the General Fund. Certainly, that day has arrived. • Increasing the VLF is consistent with existing law and the right thing to do to protect critical local services. Promises made should be promises kept. • A deal is a deal — and restoring the VLF when "insufficient moneys are available" was the deal on which all legislators agreed — Senate and Assembly, Republicans and Democrats. • The Governor and legislature should do the right thing and keep their commitments, by acting now to restore the VLF. The VLF is deductible against federal tax obligations. No one likes to pay taxes — but at least consumers can deduct the VLF against their federal taxes. Local public services are at risk. The VLF is a critical component of funding vital local services. VLF payments constitute as much as 25% of local governments general-purpose revenues. On average, more than 60% of city general fund spending and more than half of county general funds go to police, fire, emergency medical and health care programs. The exact amount of the deficit is not the issue. The issue is the vulnerability of critical local services. Disagreements over the size of the state deficit simply underscore our key issue: local services are vulnerable, and will remain so unless and until the state keeps its promise to fully fund the Vehicle License Fees. Keep the promise. End the vulnerability of local services. Vote to restore the VLF. a 2 ( / January 23, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of January 28, 2002 ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE PARKING PROGRAM Recommendation: That the City Council determine whether or not it wishes to consider free parking on streets for zero emission vehicles and provide direction to staff. Background: I have attached a report from the Police Chief concerning the status of the Zero Emission Parking Program in other cities. These programs are relatively small and not particularly costly to implement. If the City Council would like to implement such a program, staff should be directed to report back with an outline of the program and an implementation schedule. Respectfully submitted, Stephen R. Burrel City Manager _gRMOI ;BEACH OLICEVEPARTMENT «* e t� #fr:** , ** *4,*�e+* i +e**** «*ms*s: it FICE OF THE GRIEF OF PO Tuesday, January 21, 2003 TO: Stephen Burrell, City Manager FROM: Michael Lavin, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Report on Zero Emission Vehicle ' . rking Programs During the month of December 2002, our administrative investigator Glen Maples contacted the cities of Long Beach and Santa Monica regarding any programs that they offer providing free parking for alternative fuel vehicles. The City of Long Beach was contacted and they currently do not have any programs offering preferential parking for alternative fuel vehicles. The City of Santa Monica was ,gntacted and they are conducting an informal 1 year pilot program in which they offer J$ernative fuel vehicles free parking at parking meters for up to two (2) hours. Thereafter, the vehicle owner would have to deposit money in the meter. This program bas been in effect since March or April of 2002. There is nothing in writing about the program. Santa Monica also requires that the owner of such a vehicle obtain a "Clean Air Sticker/Decal' from the DMV issued in accordance with section 5205.5 of the Vehicle Code. This sticker/decal also allows certain low emission vehicles to travel in the car-pool lane on California freeways even if there is only one occupant in the car.

For the 28th year the Red Cross is pro - :Wing this service in partnership with the .os Angeles County Department of Health ;ervices. Red Cross nurses will administer t vaccine designed to protect against what ire considered the three most expected ,trains. : The A/Moscow, A/New Caledonia rnd B/Hong Kong are reported by the enters for Disease Control to be the most :ommon'strains for the next flu season. "Getting a flu shot is a simple act of irevention that can reduce incidence and .everity of the flu," said Gail Silverman, t.N., director' of Vocational Health Care ['raining ' and Community Outreach iervices for the American Red Cross of 3reater Los Angeles. "Senior citizens are ilso most vulnerable to secondary illnesses, such as pneumonia, that can be cr.:tsed' by the flu." To qualify for the free vaccines, cne must be age 60 or older or have chronic illnesses, • such as heart, kidney or respiratory disease', or be otherwise immuno -compromised. No one younger than 18 may receive a f l vacci- nation at these clinics. Seniors and others need not 't e con- cerned about catching the'flu from :lie vac- cine, since it contains a dead virus. People who get sick immediately after get:.ing the flu shot have already been exposed to ' the virus. Last year, more than 22,000 seniors • and other at -risk persons received \ accina- tions through the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles. The•Los ngeles County Health Department provide all the influenza vaccine. •• The American Red Cross of Grecaer Los'+ Angeles assists with flu vaccina::ons'to prepare the community for the up.:omins flu' season. Vaccination may protec! senior , i citizens against the typical' flu eas'on,. which begins in 'January 'and . lasts through March. The vaccine takes about twc weeks to become active and begin providi 'lg pro- tection against the' flu. Since the "accine. lasts about six months, it is importa:.t to re- ceive a flu immunization every year.

The Hermosa Beach Playhouse is harbor- ing the original madman of comedy, Groucho Marx. The Playhouse's stage can barely contain the broad verbal humor, the physical hustle and bustle, and frenetic horseplay that became synonymous with the Marx Brothers' style of comedy. With black grease paint, glassless wire rims and a very, very large cigar — Freud could write his dissertation on this cigar and still have room to copy the Old Testament — actor Frank Ferrante not only transforms into Groucho, but he also seems to spiritually channel the master of mayhem. Ferrante's "An Evening With Groucho" seems to be just that: monologues from pop- ular Marx Brothers films; behind -the -scenes memories from vaudeville, Broadway and movies; improvisation similar to his televi- sion show, "You Bet Your Life," with un- suspecting audience members; and memo- rable musical renditions with pianist Jim Furmston. Ferrante and Furmston bastardize a Sondhiem classic, a la Groucho, that would give Weird Al Yankovich a run for his money. The show seems to capture the high points of Groucho's career thatare nostalgi- cally embedded in a certain generation's col- lective consciousness, although younger members of last Saturday night's audience seemed to be appreciating Groucho's high jinks, too. The window dressing of fast and furious repartee italicized by classic asides such as raised eyebrows, rolling eyes and the flutter- ing of the cigar is signature Groucho. How- ever, once Ferrante steps past the fourth wall and directly engages the audience, the show moves past just a clever imperson- a t i o n. Groucho seems to possess the young actor with his witty off- the-cuff double- entrende, sexual innu- endo and liberating physical humor. It is tlroul..11 this audience exchange with the actor that one. feels:. they; are in the presence of Groucho Ferrante introdt.ces the. show as himself, and the audience v. tnesses the clownlike ap- plication of mustaw::,e, eyebrows, glasses and cigar. As the grey.: . paint is powdered and the glasses are stra;.1gically placed, the droll, resonant voice of Croucho, hauntingly„trans- �mits through Ferra;ite. At times, itis down- right eerie how well inflections'and intona- tions are accuratel} captured. As previously r.:entioned, the' material is memorable, light rtnd fun:.However, there seems to be a key c amponent of the comedic master missing ' n "An Evening With Groucho.” Thro.:gh controlled chaos, Groucho represem td the every man chal- lenging the system to pursue a dream. Via Pic: urcd are Frank Ferrante as Groucho Marx and Jim Furmston. his absurd nature and pointed wit, he popped holes in the'ballooned pretensions and affec- tations of society„Unfortunately, this humor with an edge is not quite realized in "An Evening With Groucho.” Nevertheless, the show is very entertain- ing; and if you do not know Groucho and his work, it's the perfect opportunity to meet the master first person. "An Evening with Groucho" will be pre- sented by the;Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities through Sunday at the Hermosa Beach Playhouse, 710 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach. Show times are 8 p.m. through Satur- day, 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday. Tickets range from $35 to $45.
