Authorize the purchase of a new digital copy machine for the Police Department from the Xerox Corporation of Los Angeles, California for $12,978.00 (includes tax). Approve contract purchase based upon the State of California Multiple Award Schedule with the Xerox Corporation. Contract number. 03-01-26-0030A 2. Appropriate an amount of $12,978.00 from the Equipment Replacement Fund. BACKGROUND The copy machine assigned to the police department records bureau is approximately 7 years old and has processed over one million copies. The machine has become extremely unreliable and is breaking down weekly. The police department produces approximately 15,000 copies per month and the downtime of this vital piece of equipment is disruptive to department operations. The replacement of this machine is scheduled for the coming fiscal year 2003/2004. However, the breakdowns are now so frequent that the police department can no longer wait until that time. ANALYSIS Staff has selected the Xerox Document Center 555 Digital Copier produced by the Xerox Corporation as the new replacement copier. Xerox is the leader in the copier industry. The new generation of Xerox copiers utilizes digital technology that produces higher quality documents. There are fewer moving parts in a digital machine versus the current traditional machine (250 versus 2000 moving/replaceable parts). It is recommended that the City purchase a new digital copier directly from the Xerox Corporation. The Xerox Corporation does not utilize a distributor network and sells direct to the customer. Xerox offers local government favorable pricing through a State CMAS contract. Under such an arrangement, it is permissible under city rules to make a direct purchase from such a vendor without having to 2g utilize the RFP process. The CMAS contract provides for the most favorable pricing arrangements for government agencies. FISCAL IMPACT Copiers were added to the Equipment Replacement Fund during the fiscal year 2002/2003. The purchase of this copier is scheduled for the coming fiscal year 2003/2004. It is requested that the money be appropriated from the equipment replacement fund at this time to make this purchase. Respectfully submitted, Con ur: V// ( MICHAEL CHIEF OF POLICE STEPHEN BURRELL HERMOSA : CH POLICE DEPARTMENT CITY MANAGER Fiscal Impact: Viki Copeland, Finance Director • February 19, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of The Hermosa Beach City Council February 25, 2003 APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HERMOSA AVENUE AT 13TH STREET Recommendation: It is recommended that Council approve the reduction of red curb in front of The Coffee Bean on Hermosa Avenue south of 13th Street for the installation of a "Green Parking Zone". Summary: At its November 20, 2002 meeting, the Public Works Commission voted to support Staffs recommendation to reduce the length of the red curb in front of The Coffee Bean on Hermosa Avenue. This will free up an additional parking space without impacting the U-turn move at the intersection of Hermosa Avenue and 13th Street. Further, Staff is recommending that the proposed parking space be a "green zone". This would accommodate the commercial businesses and be consistent with the green parking zone north of 13th Street. Background: Staff received a request from The Coffee Bean via Public Works Commissioner Cheatham, located on the southwestcorner of Hermosa Avenue and 13th Street, to consider placement of an additional parking space in front of their business. On February 8, 2000, Council adopted Resolution No. 00-6044, which calls for the removal of the "NO U-TURN" prohibition and the installation of the parking restriction in front of. The Coffee Bean. Please refer to Attachment 2. Currently, there is 42' of red curb on the west side of Hermosa Avenue just south of 13th Street. Following the red curb are two metered parking spaces. Analysis: Staff has investigated the area and feels an additional parking space can be created with minimal impact to existing conditions along Hermosa Avenue. The existing 42' red curb can be shortened to 20', which will allow enough room for vehicles making u -turns at 13th Street. In addition, the 20' red curb will provide adequate sight distance for commuters turning right onto Hermosa Avenue from 13th Street. Staff further recommends re -marking the existing parking stalls to accommodate three parking spaces without impacting the turning radius at 13th Street. Alternatives: 1. Approve Staff recommendation. 2. Send item back to Staff for further study. 3. Take no action. 2h Attachments: 1. Site Map 2. Resolution No. 00-6044 3.

Background: This relocation of the guy wire poles is a solution that allows the removal of the pole on school district property and in the Myrtle underground district. This solution is considerably less than first estimated by SCE and will be paid with assessment district funds. The new pole will be located in the area between two existing poles and in front of 426 25th Street in the public right-of-way. Respectfully submitted, Ste ren ' .

Submitted for adoption and waiver of full reading is Ordinance No. 03-1227, relating to the above subject.

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 -1- 1 2 3 5 6 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 • 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 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 General Plan Amendment 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 a appropriate residential land use consistent with surrounding properties. 2. The subject property to be redesignated is appropriate for residential use as it is abutted by residential uses to the north, west and south, and located in an area, which is predominantly residential in character. A residential use of the subject properties will be more -2- 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 compatible to surrounding residential uses than a potentially more intensive and intrusive use. The redesignation to Medium Density Residential on the General Plan Map and R-2 on the Zoning Map will be consistent with designations to the west and south of the subject property, and will allow two units on the subject property consistent with surrounding residential development. 3. The City Council concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's recommendation, based on its Environmental Assessment/Initial Study, that this project will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a Negative Declaration. SECTION 6. Based on the foregoing, the City Council adopted Resolution to amend the General Plan Map for the subject property. SECTION 7. Based on the foregoing, and in order to make the Zoning Map consistent with the General Plan Map pursuant to State Law, the City Council hereby amends the City's Official Zoning Map as follows: 1. Amend the Zoning Map by changing the property, as described below and shown on the attached map, from General Commercial (C-3) to Two -Family Residential (R-2): 726 Tenth Street, legally described as Lot 10, Tract No. 223. SECTION 8. This ordinance shall become effective and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days of its final passage and adoption. SECTION 9. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date of its adoption, the City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in the Easy Reader, a weekly newspaper of general circulation published and circulated, in the City of Hermosa Beach in the manner provided by law. -3- 1 2 3 4 5 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 SECTION 10.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EXISTING RESTAURANT; AND, TO MODIFY THE FLOOR PLAN TO INCLUDE BAR SEATING AND A DANCE FLOOR Recommendation To sustain the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the requests for on -sale alcohol, live entertainment, bar seating and a dance floor and to approve an extension of operation hours from 10:00 P.M. to 12:00 midnight Background At their meeting of December 4, 2002, the Planning Commission voted 4:0 deny the requested amendments and to approve a limited extension of hours to the existing C.U.P. for on -sale beer and wine from 10:00 P.M. to 12:00 midnight. At their meeting of October 10, 2002, the Staff Environmental Review Committed recommended a mitigated negative declaration based on the findings in the Initial Study. The mitigation measure pertains to potentially significant noise impacts, and requires live entertainment to be limited to acoustic music only pursuant to the applicant's request. The subject request is similar to the CUP amendment request made in February, 2002. The Commission denied the request at the April 16, 2002 meeting by a vote of 5:0 based on concerns regarding noise, and the increased intensity of use due to full alcohol and live entertainment which may increase the potential for noise and operational complaints. The Commission also denied the proposed take out window which was determined to create an unsafe condition adjacent to the Strand. The applicant appealed the Commission's denial with a slightly modified request (including limiting live entertainment to non amplified and extending operation hours to 1:00 A.M. rather than 24 -hours). The City Council sustained the decision of f the Commission to deny the project, as modified, at their meeting of August 13, 2002. PROJECT INFORMATION: ZONING: GENERAL PLAN: FLOOR AREA: PARKING: ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: C-2, Restricted Commercial General Commercial 5,500 Square Feet (Approximately) 23 Spaces (4 In Tandem) Mitigated Negative Declaration 1 • • History In 1985, the City Council granted, on appeal, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant at the subject location. In 1988, the Planning Commission granted an amendment to the CUP to expand the floor area of the restaurant by adding 2,000 square feet of open-air seating. In 1989, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to enclose the outside dining area. In 1993, the City Council, on appeal, approved an amendment to allow On -sale General Alcohol, live entertainment, and 24-hour operation of the facility. This approved amendment was never executed and has now expired. In 1999 the Planning Commission considered an amendment similar to the current request and a walk-up takeout window and denied the request. The applicant filed an appeal and then subsequently withdrew it. Analysis The applicant is proposing to amend an existing CUP that is limited to beer and wine sales, to add full general on -sale alcohol. The requested amendment includes the addition of live entertainment and modifying the approved floor plan to add bar seating and a dance floor and a walk-up take-out window. The application also requests to modify the hours of operation to allow operation between 6:00 and 2:00 A.M. Currently the operating hours are limited to between 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. based on the 1989 CUP. These requests involve change of operation and minor alterations to the interior floor plans, and no expansion to the building. Section 17.04 of the Zoning Ordinance defines restaurant as an establishment primarily selling prepared foods and containing kitchen facilities used for food preparation and sets out percentages for gross sales computed monthly for prepared foods and • alcohol sales.' The applicant is proposing to alter the interior of the existing restaurant with respect to the seating arrangement (no increase in occupancy) and to add a bar area and a piano for live entertainment. The subject building is located within the downtown district and suitable for the proposed use. It is similar to other restaurants in the area which have live entertainment. However, the use is located approximately %2 block to the south of the westerly end of Pier Plaza, and there is the potential that the added noise from live entertainment may present a problem for surrounding residents. At the previous hearings on this matter before Planning Commission, several residents complained that noise and disturbances from restaurants at closing time have created a nuisance in the area, though the complaints were not necessarily connected to the operation of Scotty's restaurant. They also expressed concern about the number of alcohol/entertainment type establishments in the downtown area. If the application is approved, the problem of noise generated by proposed live entertainment should be addressed with appropriate mitigation measures to address these concerns. A "piano bar" is shown on the plans and the applicant has indicated that the request is for "non amplified live entertainment". Any excessive noise from the entertainment cannot be easily mitigated given its proposed location within a glass patio enclosure which contains sliding glass windows and since there is no air conditioning, the sliding windows will likely be left open during the summer months. Therefore, the applicant has modified his request to limit the entertainment to non -amplified music. Typical Conditions of Approval for other similar establishments require double -glazed windows, air conditioning and that doors and windows remain shut when live entertainment occurs may not be necessary with this limitation. Therefore, if approved, staff is recommending that entertainment be specifically limited to acoustic music. Hours for live entertainment are also specified consistent with other similar downtown establishments, as are requirements for conformance with the existing approved Parking Plan. The plans do not clearly show the location for the proposed take-out window, but the applicant indicates that it would be at the northwest corner of the dining area, with access directly out toward the Strand. Any lines forming at the take out window would encroach in to the Strand right-of-way. Since customers can order take-out inside from the hostess station next to the waiting area, it does not seem appropriate to create this potential conflict with bicycle and pedestrian traffic on the Strand. The proposed permit amendment is essentially a re -submittal of the application denied on appeal in August, 2002, and contains no material changes (with the exception of non -amplified live entertainment) to alleviate previously expressed Commission or City Council concerns regarding general on -sale alcohol sales and likely noise and nuisance issues because of the proximity of residential uses. .

An application was filed by Pete Mangurian, owner of Scotty's Restaurant, seeking amendment to an existing conditional use permit to allow on -sale alcohol; live entertainment; a take-out food service window; extended hours of operation and alterations to the floor plan in conjunction with an existing restaurant. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for the Conditional Use Permit on December 4, 2002, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Based on the evidence the Commission denied the requested Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendments and approved a limited extension to the hours of operation to 12:00 midnight based on the finding as set forth in P.C. Resolution 02- . Section 3. The applicant filed an appeal of the Commission's decision. Section 4. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the appeal on January 14, 2002, 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 the decision of the Planning Commission the City Council agrees with and makes the following factual findings: 1. The business is currently operating under the terms of a Conditional Use Permit, as amended, approved in 1989; for on -sale beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant. 2. The property is zoned C-2, with commercially zoned property to the north and immediately to the south, and public parking lot located to the east. The predominant uses to the south are residential. 3. In 1993, the City Council approved, on appeal, a Conditional Use Permit for live entertainment, On -sale General Alcohol, and a dance floor. This permit was not executed and has now expired. Section 6. Based on the foregoing factual findings, and the record of the decision of the Planning Commission the City Council makes the following findings pertaining to the application to amend the Conditional Use Permit: ct- 1. The site is zoned C-2, and its location south of the downtown core area within close proximity to residential uses to the south (one-half block) and is thus not suitable for the proposed use with the proposed amendment for live entertainment, on -sale general alcohol and a dance floor, and extended hours to 2:00 A.M. These changes will increase noise levels which cannot be satisfactorily mitigated given that entertainment and increased activity would be located within a glass patio enclosure. 2. The proposed change to full service general alcohol would change the character and atmosphere of the restaurant and cafe, and make it operate more like a bar resulting in increase of activity that would result in noise and nuisance complaints from nearby residents. 3. Live entertainment and dancing would increase the overall noise and general activity of the business adversely contributing to noise concerns noted above. 4. Extending the hours of the business to 2:00 A.M. presents a greater concern to surrounding residents as noise carries more late at night, during hours when residents are also more sensitive to the impact of noise. 5. The proposed take-out window is not suitable because of the potential conflict with pedestrian and bicycle traffic along the Strand, and is not necessary as take-out orders can easily be accommodated inside the restaurant. Section 7. Based on the foregoing, the City Council sustains the decision of the Planning Commission and hereby denies the requests to amend the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan to allow on -sale alcohol, live entertainment, alterations to the floor plan, and a take-out window; and, approves a limited extension of hours of operation under the terms of the current C.U.P. for on -sale beer and wine only to 12:00 midnight.

He noted the applicant's request to modify the hours of operation from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M. Director Blumenfeld commented on the similar uses within the Downtown area and stated that the proximity of the business to residential uses, at the end of Pier Plaza meant that there is increased potential for noise related 'conflict. He pointed out that no noise complaints have been specifically directed towards Scotty's. He addressed staffs concern that the proximity of the business to residential uses at the end of Pier Plaza may increase the potential for conflict between uses. Furthermore Director Blumenfeld explained that noise related to live entertainment could not be mitigated by closing doors and windows because there is no air handling system in the building and that there are large expanses of glass that are left open in the summer; and that for this reason, staff recommends including in the conditions that double -glazed windows and an air conditioning unit be added to this establishment if the project is approved. With regard to the proposed take-out window, he addressed staffs concern that locating the window at the northwest corner of the dining area would present a problem with respect to the Strand and would conflict with the adjacent pedestrian/bicycle traffic. He mentioned that customers may order take-out food from inside the restaurant. Pete Mangurian, Hermosa Beach, clarified that his proposal does not include a request for a dance floor area; and advised that his establishment has received no complaints or violations in the past 6 Planning Commission Minutes 12-04-02 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 for a 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 12:00 midnight.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Regarding request for denial for Scotty's CUP for general alcohol and entertainment Since January of 1999 a cumulative number of over one hundred residents of Hermosa Beach have attended various meetings, spoken at such meetings , and written letters to the city and the press opposing any additional alcohol or entertainment at Scotty's restaurant. Many of us live only a few buildings from Scotty's and we continue to strongly oppose any additional alcohol or noise from Scotty's. We request that the Planning Commission please review the communications and reports already on file in this matter the last two times it was denied. We continue to have a serious problem with public drunkeness on the Strand south of the Pier Plaza and any additional alcohol on the Strand would have a negative impact and further disrupt the residential neighborhood resulting in more noise, liter, congestion, and unruly public drunkeness. In 1993 the Planning Commission staff opposed a Scotty's application for on -sale liquor and live entertainment. To quote, the staff believed that "the proposal is too intensive and will create negative impacts." Specifically mentioned were " police problems, increase in noise levels, and congestion." The only thing that changed since the staff recommended denial in 1993 has been a tremendous increase and oversaturation of alcohol related establishments in our immediate neighborhood bringing with it the ensuing problems of noise and congestion. - In 1999 the City Council and Planning Commission denied Scotty's application based on at least three quoted factual findings: 1. "The downtown environment has changed significantly since the original request for on -sale general alcohol and a dance floor, particularly in terms of alcohol establishments and entertainment. 2. The proposed use is not compatable with nearby residential uses since it could produce a tremendous amount of sound, and if successful could generate an overflow of patrons causing congestion and general nuisances to residents. 3. The imposition of conditions would not mitigate all of the negative impacts generated on nearby residents or comercial properties." During the last year the Economic Development Committee has given much study into the planning process of balancing economic development with the rights of the existing residents. The first four key elements of the plan call for: 1. " Hermosa is a community first • Page 2 and a visitior destination second. 2. Maintain the beachfront business district...and adjoining residential areas. 3. Preserve Hermosa's character. and 4. Celebrate and protect our greatest asset: the beach, our community and our quality of life." We ask you to please consider the residents quality of life. We respectfully request that the Planning Commission uphold the last two denials. The decisions to deny by past Planning Commissions and City Coucils were based on thoughtful consideration of the facts. Please consider the many residents of our city who have been negatively impacted and will be more so if this CUP is not rejected. We continue to suggest that a balance in land use would benefit our city and that a more upscale development at this location would help preserve Hermosa's family character and be of more benefit to the residents of our city.

My family has owned property in Hermosa Beach since the 1.920's and I have lived at 934 Strand which has been our family beach house since it was built in 1939. I am an owner of this residence. My family and I arc adamantly opposed to the . expanding number of alcohol related facilities in Hermosa Beach, and specifically on the Strand and on the promenade. Hermosa Beach has always had an extremely unique character and, in our hearts and minds, ha ' been the quintessential beach town, Our family has never opposcd any application for building and/or use permits. We have appreciated and enjoyed the economic development that has typified Hermosa Beach for the past five years. Unfortunately, it gravely concerns us that Hermosa Beach has become known throughout the South Bay, and even Los Angeles area, as a bar town, attracting individuals who frequently disturb the peace with their public drunkenness, and loud 'ileand unruly behavior on the Strand. f 1. The impact on our residence has been significant. There isn't a day that goes by that we aren't policing our font P B _ yard(adjacent to the Strand) of empty and half empty alcohol cans and bottl Our house has been subjected to vandalism, burglary, and frequent trespassers. People use our backyard and side yard for illicit conduct, including drugs, public consumption of alcohol and other criminal activities. We have made a mistake by not calling the police on every occasion. We had deemed it to be problems that we could take care of, but unfortunately didn't realize that making a police record would have an effect on your decision. T •7n JJ L04.1 Oi [h TS ,P.. v•.e w..v .-+...... City of Hermosa Beach Planning Commission February 12, 1999 Page 2 ekati.,./c/3) Of particular concern is the already severely impacted parking problem. Our house is the very first single family rsidence south ofScotty's. We are constantly having individuals illegally park in our lot and it has recently gotten much worse. Our parking lot is not fenced in, and our garage is like a carport. Despite prominently posted no parking signs, people blithely park in our lot, sometimes taking two, and even three, spaces. For us to be able to use our own property, we are forced to ticket and tow these individuals. Recently one night we had a very serious altercation with one individual whose car we had towed. There was a strong fear for not only the safety of ourselves, but that of our property. Someone had parked his vehicle in our lot. We did everything we could to locate this individual prior to having it towed. Mier a considerable amount of time, we called and had the individual's car ticketed. The individual came back, took the ticket off his car, put it inaide his car, locked his vehicle, put his "club" on the steering wheel, put his top up, and left his vehicle in our lot, Imagine this happening to you, some stranger pulling into your driveway, parking his car in your driveway, blocking your access to your house, and leaving his car there despite not so subtle hints that he was trespassing with his vehicle. At approximately 2:00 a.tri. when the bars closed this' drunken individual came looking for his vehicle and started screaming obscenities and making physical threats to myself and the guests I had at my home. He specifically indicated that he • would be seeking revenge upon both the owner and the physical property. Needless to say; it was obvious this individual was frequenting one of the many liquor establishments down town and was very drunk. Our house is located at the very edge of where the spot lights which illuminate the beach and the Strand end. Therefore, drunks walking down the Strand stop in front of our house as it is the first dark area to loiter and continue their drunken revelry. This more often than not happens around 2:00 a.m. when the bars close. These individuals usually are providing their own alcohol at this point. It is quite a dilemma as to what to do in these situations. Sometimes I have had to get up out of bed end simply ask the individuals to move along, and atn usually respon to with derision and profane insults. Other tunes I have called the police so the can force the peace. On one particular occasion, all five cars in our parking lot wer vandalized bsequent to the police intervention. You can imagine what a Gordian {not we e. Mo Imes we simply choose to ignore the noise and try and resume our sleep once the beer fins. y runs out. If Scotty's application is granted, we fear we will be forced to endure this same kind of activity from early evening all the way through closing. I understand that the planning commission staff recommended denial of Scotty's application for "on -salt" liquor and live entertainment six years ago, specifically indicating that the proposal was too intensive and created negative impacts. My family and I emphatically request the denial at this time. The only thing that has changed since the staff recommended denial of this type of use has been an increased adverse effect on the welfare of residents, the noise emanating from the property and drunken patrons leaving the property Z '39ti3 SE69 -S tt 6,45c) .to:.araa CMV Eaxva 95: C t ca011) 66 . 5 1 134 City of Hermosa Beach Planning Commission February 12, 1999 Page 3 creating a nuisance to the surrounding residential neighborhood as well as increased alcohol and public drunkenness on the Strand south of the Pier. These are specific violations of the general conditions of past approvals of conditional use permits for Scotty's and other establishments along the Pier. Although I am unable to appear at this meeting Tuesday, please rest assured that if I was available to appear 1 would voice my opinions probably more adamantly than I have put forth in this letter. When speaking to my friends, neighbors and clients here in Hermosa Beach, they have all unanimously been opposed to the increase in liquor and night club establishments. Hermosa Beach needs a varied economic base. We lamented the loss of Either/Or book store and urge the planning commission to bring in commercial enterprises of this and other retail nature. About the only individual I have heard voice approval of this application is the owner of Se otty's himself, My family has eaten at Scotty's on numerous occasions and appreciate the restaurant in its current foam. As it is, it contributes to the uniqueness of Hermosa Beach and is a wonderful place to patronize. Its transformation into a bar and night club would be a violation of stated staff concerns and create further "nightmares" for our family. I will be available to answer any questions you might have.

DIO1.ro'An Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council CONTINUED FROM THE JANUARY 28, 2003 MEETING SUBJECT: .); zz3 - 6a�� 02-A5A-3 February 20, 2003 Regular Meeting of February 25, 2003 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 5b 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. The City Council has generally been reluctant to approve zone changes along Pacific Coast Highway in order 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 of Neighborhood Commercial is described as follows: This category includes convenience stores, Laundromats and similar uses designed to primarily serve local walk-in traffic. The C-1, Neighborhood Commercial Zone as described in the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17.26.020(B) is intended 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 the property are 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, as permitted with the current C-1 zoning designation, and has submitted a conceptual plan showing that it would be 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 there are relatively few C-1 properties and since the City Council has previously resisted redesignation of commercially zoned property and the property can 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 1 2 3 4 6 10 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 2nd 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 2nd 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 Commission 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 it is 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 a • • 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.

I would probably be the most impacted if this property were to be developed as commercial as I live across the street at #18 3 Street. I purchased this property in 1987 under the assumption that the property at #19 2°d Street would always be used for residential purposes, since it has been since the 1920's. I feel that I would be severely damaged financially and emotionally by the intrusion of traffic, congestion and noise that would result if this property were to be commercially developed.

We have no desire to develop our lot as C-1 commercial property. We would want to change our zoning to R-3 when we need to. This arca will not support more businesses. The businesses in this area are mostly closed down during the winter months. Parking is also a problem and more businesses would make things worse. f hank you_ Derwin W Mc mil= :550] Egcrcr Place Fullerton, Ca. 9213.3$-160$ 1(714)870-9534 1 . Mayor Edgerton and Council Members: My husband Gary and I are the owners of the property at 19 2nd Street. We also live nearby and are very much a part of this neighborhood. Our neighborhood is a very eclectic mix of new homes, and aging bungalows, apartments and single family residences. But, mostly, we are a very well established residential environment. One thing we do share in common is a sense of community. Unlike many other beach areas, there is very little commotion that finds its way into our neighborhood such as occurs when there are drinking establishments, restaurants, markets, deli's, liquor stores, and other popular gathering spots next to residential areas. The primary character of our neighborhood is residential, and it has always been residential. We believe it is in the best interests of the neighborhood and the City to protect and maintain this existing residential environment. There is no economic rationale or basis for encouraging commercial development of this lot, and 80+ years of continued residential use should certainly be sufficient evidence that there is no public interest in commercial development in this vicinity. Before undertaking our zone change application, we spoke to a number of people, including City Staff, as well as our neighbors. Of course, there were no guarantees, but everyone seemed to agree that this is a very marginal commercial site which has absolutely no relationship to a commercial corridor. In fact, this site is oriented more to the surrounding R-3 zoned properties. We believe there are very substantial and relevant reasons to approve this zone change, and we ask you to consider these reasons: • This property has existed as a residential duplex since the 1920's. • Because of its small size and location, there is absolutely no incentive for commercial development of the property • The location is too remote from Hermosa Avenue to attract viable commercial activities and its economic utility is extremely limited • A Targe scale development of the entire block, and the resulting intrusions into the surrounding community would not be in the best interests of the neighborhood, which is primarily residential • The reclassification to R-3 would be consistent with the surrounding character of the neighborhood and compatible with development pattern surrounding the property We understand that zoning issues must be viewed within the context of the specific neighporhood as well as the community at large. There are established and meaningful commercial components throughout the beach area, including the components facing the Hermosa corridor at Second St. and at Herondo Avenue. However, all of these pockets have a very meaningful relationship to Hermosa Avenue. Because of its limited size and distance from the commercial corridor, our location is very marginal with limited potential as a viable commercial site. CWy DoawmcsCC-lettu.doc • • We believe there is further support within the General Plan Land Use Element for this decision. The Land Use Element clearly emphasizes the need to protect and enhance the residential components of the City and to protect the City's character and small town personality. One of the primary goals of the Land Use Element is to «Protect, improve and maintain the quality of life and the small town beach community atmosphere of Hermosa Beach." (GOAL 1.) In setting forth this goal, the General Plan also identifies a number of Objectives that seek to maintain an orderly development of the City and clearly identify certain Primary Objectives relating to residential character and protection of existing residential neighborhoods: Primary Objective 1.1: Primary Objective 1.2: Preserve the existing character of all residential neighborhoods. Minimize conflicts between nonresidential land uses and residential properties. Of course, it is also the responsibility of the City managers, and the General Plan, to protect the economic viability of the City and to provide for current and future needs of the City's residents This is identified in GOAL 2 which seeks to accommodate existing and future commercial land uses. However, that Goal also clearly recognizes the concern that commercial uses can result in adverse environmental impacts for surrounding areas and that commercial development should not take place at the expense of residential neighborhoods. Primary Objective 6.1: Protect surrounding residential neighborhoods from adverse environmental impacts. We believe that it would be counterproductive for the City Council to pursue expansion of the commercial corridor at this location, and to do so would be at the expense of the well established residential neighborhoods surrounding our property. Any sort of combination with adjacent lots would result in the very type of neighborhood intrusion that the General Plan is trying to avoid Our property is not located within any critical commercial corridor, nor could this neighborhood be identified as a relevant commercial segment of the beach community. Therefore, a decision to approve a change of zone will not compromise the ability of the City to provide appropriate services for the community. I have brought with me, copies for all of you, of letters from 36 of our immediate neighbors all opposing the idea of any kind of commercial development on this property. I would like to read you a portion of the letter from Jeff Flynn where he states "I would probably be the most impacted if this property were to be developed as commercial as I live across the street at #18 3rd St. I purchased this property in 1987 under the assumption that the property at #19 2"d St would always be used for residential purposes, since it has been since the 1920's. I feel that I would be severely damaged financially and emotionally by the intrusion of traffic, congestion and noise that would result if this property were to be commercially developed. I strongly oppose commercial development of #19 2"d St. and support the request for rezoning of this property." C: My Documen6\CC4kuer.doc I have also spoken to Darwin and Ann McMillen, the owners since 1963 of the adjacent property at #25 2"d St. They have confirmed that they have no intention of selling their property for conn rzW Albelftpimat, nor have they any intention of commercially developing their property. 1 have also enclosed a letter from them where they state "This area will not support more businesses. The businesses in this area are mostly closed down during the winter months. Parking is also a problem . and more businesses would make things worse? This elimininates the possibility of large scale development of the entire block. We request that the Council approve this request for zone change and General Pian Amendment. Large scale commercial development of this block would not be in the best interests of the neighborhood, and there is very little economic incentive for use of the property as a stand alone commercial development. The proposed residential zoning and use is totally consistent with the surrounding neighborhoods. C My Do ,men ccka«.a« February 25, 2001 ZONE CHANGE ANALYSIS For the Site: 19 2nd Street Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Prepared For: City of Hermosa Beach Appeal Hearing Submitted By: COMMERCIAL RESOURCE Real Estate Services Justin Beimforde Partner �. �as/03 Sb City of Hermosa Beach 19 2nd Street Zone Change Review I. Site and Application Summary The subject property, a slightly irregular shaped commercially zoned lot in the 2nd Street Commercial Business Area, is located on the North East Corner of 2"d Street and Beach Drive. Excepting The Strand properties to the west, all neighboring properties are commercially zoned, consistent with the nature of the 2nd Street cul-de-sac. The 2nd Street cul-de-sac serves a multitude of uses, particularly as a temporary loading area for beach visitors. There is frequent auto traffic and the cul-de-sac attracts many potential retail customers. The existing buildings are legal non -conforming residential structures perfectly suited for adaptive re -use to permitted uses such as art/antiques/curios gallery or shop; Books/news/magazines, sales; clinic, dental and/or medical; clothing and wearing apparel sales and service; florist or plant shop; interior decorating studio, store or shop; offices, general; sporting/recreational equipment sales, service, and rental; or toy store, all of which are permissible under the existing zoning. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORING USES All neighboring uses remain compatible with the Cl Zone, as illustrated by restaurants "The 2nd Street Cafe", "Le Petit Cafe", "Blue Pacific" and non -restaurant uses such as Mickey's Deli and the self service laundromat located at 113 Hermosa Avenue. Opinions of residents petitioning for zone change of the property frequently cite a concern regarding establishment of a nightclub and/or bar as a reason for seeking to overturn staff recommendation to deny the appeal. Concerns regarding alcohol sales and consumption on site are foremost in these conversations. However, close investigation of permitted uses in the Cl zone demonstrates that Restaurant/cafe with beer and wine or (on -sale alcohol beverage establishment) requires issuance of a conditional use permit, which requires a hearing process prior to granting. All existing residential (with the exception of legal non- conforming residential at 25 2nd Street, likewise zoned C1) are separated from the 2"d Street Commercial Area by public rights of way and none are adjacent to the subject site.

Evaluation OVERVIEW — APPLICATION AND APPEAL Commercial REsource has been in attendance at all public hearings to date regarding the 19 Second Street site, beginning with the initial staff hearing to determine whether reason existed for a negative declaration concerning the impact of the proposed zone change in September 2002 The Applicant for the zone change has recently maintained that the City of Hermosa Beach is seeking to deny Applicant the right to use the site for residential purposes (see attached, Exhibit "A"). This denial would be consistent to a limited non -conforming use containing a "sunset" provision whereby all non -conforming use(s) in a particular area or zone are required to conform by a particular calendar date or face demolition if non-compliant on said date. Such requirements are common in areas designated as "redevelopment zones" by the overseeing municipality; Commercial REsource Real Estate Services currently is involved in such situations with the City of Maywood and the City of Vernon Redevelopment agencies, where legal non -conforming residential structures must by compliant with their commercial zones in November 2003 and November 2009 respectively No such provision exists for the 19 Second Street, Hermosa Beach site. Commercial REsource's research conclusively shows that no such limits or timetables bear on the site and the implication that the City is pursuing an active agenda to change the current condition of the property are erroneous. ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING RESIDENTIAL ZONE The appeal of Applicant further seeks to pursue an R-3 zone which, if granted, would be an exceptional contrast with the neighboring properties on The Strand. As cited by Applicant, the R-3 zone would be consistent with neighboring residential, however, the properties cited are all subject to the City's change of The Strand to single family residential (R1) in cases where existing properties on The Strand are redeveloped. Should an appeal of Staff's recommendation be granted the appropriate residential designation, by extension, would be R1. The unstated goal of Applicant seems to be not to preserve the ability to use the 19 Second Street site as residential property, which is guaranteed to continue as long as the existing improvements remain in their current state, but instead to pursue a development project which cannot proceed without securing a zone change. In order to further this objective, which Staff has recommended be denied, Applicant has sought to portray the City of Hermosa Beach as having an agenda which forces the owner of such a site to develop commercial building(s) on the site. As no such active plan exists, it can only be concluded that Applicant's statements are intended to create unnecessary concern among neighbors regarding commercial projects in the Second Street neighborhood. As previously discussed, such concerns center on the possible impact of alcohol sales and consumption on the site in the future. However, it is clear that such a situation could not exist with the granting of a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") for the site. Current zoning precludes establishment of such a commercial enterprise without a CUP. Granting of the CUP would not take place without a public hearing to address this, and other, issues. The concerns of neighbors will be better addressed in a hearing specific to any application for such sales at the time application is made rather than in an over -reaching change of zone which would preclude uses capable of generating tax receipts for the City. The so called "threat" of commercial development on the site is therefore a smoke screen to secure public support for an unnecessary zone change. The lack of necessity for the zone change assumes that Applicant is sincere in its stated aim to preserve the current standing of the site. CONCLUSION The attempt by Applicant, seeking a change of zone, is typical in real estate development, which is inherently risky. In the case of land sites that are not zoned or entitled for the type of development a builder seeks to construct, an additional risk exists in so much as General Plan provisions look to promote greatest good for the neighborhood and City. Should developer not be granted the right to build as it desires, the developer can: 1) Build consistent with the General Plan or 2) Sell the property. In the case of 19 Second Street, the additional option exists for the owner to continue to use the site, as Applicant claims it wishes to do, as a legal non -conforming use. Denial of Applicant's appeal is in the best interest of all concerned parties: Neighborhood residents who principally wish to see the site remain unchanged, maintaining the scope and scale of the neighborhood; commercial real estate interests that hope to find an appropriate use for the site; and the City of Hermosa Beach, which maintains its ability to collect much needed tax revenue from any future appropriately scaled commercial use of the site.

January 23, 2003 Dear Neighbors: Gary and I are the owners of the corner lot at 19 2°d Street and we have petitioned the City to allow us to keep the residential status which has existed on our property since the 1920's. We would like to have the same residential R-3 zoning that surrounds our property, and build two new homes. This type of development is very comparable with other new homes and condominiums that have been build in our neighborhood, and which increase the surrounding property values when old homes are replaced with new. The Planning Commission turned down our request, as they think it would be better to put commercial development on our propertyFWe do not believe it would benefit our neighborhood to allow more commercial establishments so_.close to our homes and would only add to traffic, congestion, noise and disf4ption, especially in the evening'_, The present C-1 commercial zoning will actually allow many different types of businesses,, includingshops, liquor, stores and deli's, snack shop, restaurant or cafe, neighborhood market, doctor's offices, laundry and dry cleaners, and general offices We live one block from this comer, and we think it would be very detrimental to our neighborhood to encourage the growth and expansion of more commercial activities from. Hermosa Avenue so close to our homes. We have talked with some of our neighbors and know that many of you share our same concern. So, we are asking for your help - our appeal to the City Council will be heard next. Tuesday night, January 28, and we need as much support from our neighbors as possible. We know it is very hard to take time to attend the public hearing in person, but perhaps- -- you would - consider signing the enclosed _letter or writing your own, in support of keeping #19 ; 2°d Street as residential, and opposing commercial intrusion into _ our neighborhood_" I will be happy to pick up the letter from you, or. you can put it in my mailbox, so that I can present it at the meeting. Or you can E -Mail your support of our request to the individual Council Members. _- lease feel free.to giveertfier Gary or me a call if you have any questions, or if you would Jke to See our plans • February 19, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council ,xsA3 Regular Meeting of February 25, 2002 MARKETING PROPOSAL FROM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND FINAL CONSIDERATION OF LABOR DAY FIESTA — AUGUST 30, 31 AND SEPTEMBER 1, 2003 Recommendation: 1. That the City Council receive the marketing proposal for 2003 and provide direction to staff on any further steps; and, 2. That the City Council consider the Chamber of Commerce proposal to hold the Fiesta Hermosa on Labor Day Weekend, August 30, 31 and September 1, 2003 under the same conditions imposed for the Memorial Day Weekend Fiesta. Background: The City Council, last fall, received a presentation from the Economic Development Review Committee. The outcome of that meeting was an invitation for the Chamber of Commerce to submit a marketing proposal. The attached marketing proposal has been developed by the Chamber of Commerce for your review. As you will see, there are a number of programs proposed, each with an estimated cost. It would appear to be possible, from the City's standpoint, to pick individual programs or efforts in order to round out a particular approach. The only other point I need to make is that funding may become the most serious issue for direct City participation in these programs. The state budget crisis most likely will contain a local government bailout. The second issue is the Labor Day Weekend Fiesta Hermosa, August 30, 31 and September 1, 2003. The City Council, at the meeting of February 11, 2003, opened the public hearing on the Fiestas and approved the Memorial Day Fiesta and directed that the final decision on the Labor Day Fiesta be made at the February 25, 2003 meeting. If the City Council approved the Labor Day Fiesta, the motion should include all the same terms and conditions as the Memorial Day event. Respectfully submi ed, /-3/1/11/ Stephen R. Burrell City Manager • • HERMOSA BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND VISITORS BUREAU February 18, 2003 Steve Burrell, City Manager City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Steve: Enclosed are two versions of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau 2003 Marketing Proposal. The first 20 page plan on Chamber letterhead has been reviewed and approved by the Chamber Board of Directors once in 2002, and twice in 2003 as revisions were made by Council Members Art Yoon and Kathy Dunbabin. The two Council Members told our Executive Committee that they would support this plan at City Council. At Council's request, we also included a review of the plan by Economic Development Committee Chair Joe Mark, who said the official Visitors Bureau plan looked sound and effective. Although Joe Mark and his consultancy firm are not now, and never have been members of the Chamber, we felt that the plan was worth his review. The second five page plan has not been approved by the HBCC Board of Directors. It was devised by Joe Mark, Ron Newman/Vice Chair of Chamber Membership, and Conn Flatley/ Chairman of the Board of Directors. My input as Executive Director was not welcome, and I was told to present this plan, alone, to you for the Council packet. After speaking with many of our Board of Directors, I was asked to include the plan that they have approved twice in Chamber monthly meetings. The Board of Directors will evaluate both Marketing Plans in our regularly scheduled monthly Board Meeting on Thursday, February 20, 2003. I understand the necessity of providing the City Council with the plan today for their packet, so I have provided them with both the approved Chamber Marketing Plan and the alternative plan created by the three authors. By the City Council Meeting of Tuesday, February5, 2003, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce will present the newly approved and selected plan. Please accept my personal apologies for the inclusion of two plans today for the Council Packet.

To educate, organize and promote business, and 2). To contribute to the economic development of Hermosa Beach by selling, marketing, and promoting the city as a year-round destination. History The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce was founded on October 10, 1912, and has served the community as a business leader for the past 90 years. A membership of over 350 businesses and individuals involved in the hospitality industry serve the needs of the town's visitors. In 2000, the name of the organization was officially changed to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. While performing the functions of both a Chamber and a Bureau, the name was changed to emphasize the organization's role as the community's only private, non-profit destination marketing organization. Services The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau handles queries and questions from local, domestic, and international visitors. In 2002, the Chamber: • Developed and implemented a website promoting Hermosa Beach as a destination, providing tourism referrals, information and assistance • Distributed 516 free tourism packages requested by phone, mail, fax, and email. These packages contained hotel, dining, entertainment, and business referrals to potential visitors • Assisted 3,073 walk-in visitors to the Chamber office • Referred by telephone/mail 1,300 visitors to local hotels 2 • Situation Analysis The City of Hermosa Beach is 1.3 square miles in size, has 18,219 residents as measured. in the 1990 census, and is located 17 miles southwest of Los_ Angeles on the southern end of Santa Monica Bay. It was founded on April 1, 1901, by C.L. Reinbolt of the Hermosa Beach Land and Water Company, and incorporated six years later. Its elevation is 0 to 200 feet above sea level, with the average temperature of 74 degrees in summer and 55 degrees in winter. According to the census, the median age of residents is 30 years of age, with over half being college educated. The average family income is $54,000. Considered the most attractive beach city to young singles, the popularity of tiny Hermosa Beach is due to its shoreline and summer recreation opportunities. A densely populated bedroom community, the city has no large employers or companies. The city is primarily known for its historic beach -side commercial downtown, crowned by the traffic free mall of Pier Plaza. It maintains a low scale character and is home to a host of popular stores, restaurants, nightclubs and bars, both old and new. These include the Comedy and Magic Club, Hermosa Beach Playhouse, restaurants and cafes on Pier Plaza, and dining choices on upper Pier, Hermosa Avenue, and on Pacific Coast Highway. At night a vibrancy emerges, combining dining, shopping, music, dancing, and entertainment with everyone's favorite pastime — people watching. All these activities focus in the central district, within a short walk of the beach, public parking lots, and residential neighborhoods. The downtown has found a recent resurgence in commercial reinvestment with the renovation of Pier Plaza, WAVE buses, a taxi stand, and a new parking structure. Tourist Attractions Hermosa Beach is well known to young singles 20 to 30 years of age as a great place to dine, dance, listen to music, and shop. It is also popular with tourists 25-54 years of age, who want a low-key environment that encompasses all these activities within a few blocks of one another. While the town is home to great weather and activities all year long, summer is when the city becomes the beach town all Southern Californians have grown to love. The City's festivities include the Memorial Day and Labor Day Fiestas, Mervyn's Beach Bash, South Bay Surf Festival, Aloha Days, Project Touch Car Show, men and women's beach volleyball toumaments, and year-round bicycling, in-line skating, and jogging paths on the Strand. In addition, the newly re -opened pier provides fishing enthusiasts with a good catch all year long. Sunbathers and surfers find the beautiful mile -long beach the most attractive of all outdoor activities. 3 These activities, combined with the pubs, restaurants, clubs, and shops combine to make Hermosa Beach the perfect beach town for Southern Californians and foreign tourists. The town boasts over 20 excellent restaurants and a variety of ethnic cuisines, including Seafood, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Cajun, Hawaiian, and Regional American. Logistics Hermosa Beach is 4 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport and 7 miles southeast of Torrance Municipal Airport. It can also be reached by the Rapid Transit System (RTD), WAVE buses, and other local shuttle systems. Most importantly, Hermosa Beach is just three hours drive from the Inland Empire, San Diego, and Central California. The city is accessible from the 405 and 91 freeways, which interconnect to the 101,110, 134, and 5 freeways. The Destination Hermosa Beach should be recognized as a California resort destination. The City itself offers many advantages for tourism development and small group meetings. With 23.8 million travelers visiting the Los Angeles area in 2000, many are in need of a weekend respite or day trip to an outlying area such as Hermosa Beach. These potential customers need information about Hermosa Beach as a travel destination within greater Los Angeles. 4 i Strengths and Weaknesses In working to fulfill its mission, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau has both strengths and weaknesses, which are outlined below: Strengths Weaknesses Beautiful beach Name Recognition Small size Lack of Major Funding Six hotels Inadequate housing for conventions Web Site Lack of Advertising Program Great location Unknown to tourists in and out-of-state Resort attractions Seasonality and Weather Nightlife No charters or sailing opportunities Restaurants Limited cultural opportunities Safety Sleepy little town in daytime Competitive Position To those visitors for whom Hermosa Beach is a day trip, the City competes with other Southern California attractions: Attraction Competitors 1. Local theme parks 2. Other beach communities 3. Skiing 4. Aquariums 5. Museums 6. Street fairs and festivals 7. Zoos 8. Hollywood/Beverly Hills • To those visitors who visit a destination for three or four nights, the City competes with other tourist destinations: Destination Competitors 1. Other beach communities 2. Other resort communities in Southern California 3. Northern California resort destinations 4. Catalina Island 5. Las Vegas 6. Santa Barbara 7. San Diego 8. Palm Springs 9. Ventura/Oxnard 10. San Francisco 11. Mountain resorts 12. Disneyland 13. National Parks 14. Baja California Competitor Destination Marketing Resources The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau is best equipped to compete only for the tourist who wishes to visit Southern California by car travel, and within a three hour travel timetable. The travelers include both day tourists (families with children) and weekenders (couples). According to the Western Association of Chamber Executives 2000 Research, as many as 80% of all California vacationers plan several three or four day getaways per year within four hours drive from their homes. According to a budget survey conducted by the Western Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus in March 2000*, marketing funding for our Southern California competitors is as follows: Bureau # Rooms TOT Collected % of TOT to Bureau TOT to Bureau Redondo Beach 1,000 S 2,400,000 1.0 % S 240,000 Santa Monica 3,400 S16,500,000 6.0 % S 986,000 Catalina 1,000 S 1,850,000 22.0% S 407,000 Newport Beach 3,000 S 8,000,000 12.6% S 1,005,000 Santa Barbara 3,114 S 9,000,000 10.8% S 969,866 Long Beach 5,000 S12,000,000 30.0 % S 3,600,000 Marina Del Rey 1,000 S 2,320,000 28.0% S 650,000 San Diego 45,285 S99,000,000 13.2% $13,096,500 Anaheim 48,450 $47,000,000 9.4% S 4,400,000 Please note that 2001 figures are not reliable due to the fear of traveling after September 11, 2001. 6 Target Audience While weather is a factor that influences visitation to Hermosa Beach, it also influences visitation to ALL Southern California destinations and attractions. Southern California's weather is pretty much the same from Santa Barbara to San Diego. So when it is beautiful in Hermosa Beach, it's also beautiful in our competitors' communities. The Southern California perspective on tourism is a powerful and convincing argument. Copely International Corporation (CIC) Research, Inc. of San Diego, a tourism research firm that has six California Visitors Bureau clients including the L.A. Convention and Visitors Bureau, cites that of the 33.3 million people who live in California, 20.3 million people live in Southern California. Southern California is responsible for 60% of the State's overnight tourism, and as much as 85% of Southem California tourism occurs in L.A., Orange, and San Diego counties. In addition, CIC provides the following breakouts: 12% of overnight visitors are from Northern California, 86% of all visitors are predominately from the Western States, 14% of our visitors are international, and 79% of visitors are traveling for leisure rather than for work. Families with children primarily prefer day trips, and couples prefer 3 to 4 day getaways. , Our primary target markets are three -fold: 1). Singles and couples for day trips, and 2). Families with parents between the ages of 25 and 54 with an average household income of more than $45,000, and 3.) LAX business travelers. Females are the primary vacation planner and decision maker for trips of 3 to 4 days. Seniors and the youth market are secondary in importance, and will probably not be considered in our initial marketing proposal. 7 • • Hermosa Beach Hotels and Motels A total of 482 rooms are available in Hermosa Beach, with double -occupancy rates varying from $72 to $319.

Visitor and Tourist Program Advertising & Public Relations Tactics The chamber recommends using Myriad Travel Marketing, an advertising agency which specializes in travel advertising and public relations for places as close to home as Redondo Beach and as far away as Bali. The Hermosa Beach Chamber proposes an integrated marketing campaign, encompassing the following key marketing activities: • Print Advertising • Direct mail • Public Relations • Rack Cards • Website Upgrades Each element would incorporate both strategic and tactical information as well as a response mechanism featuring the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau phone number and website address. The following is a breakdown of each category: 10 Print Advertising Print advertising would allow us to reach our audiences in key targeted areas and allow us to present a clear, consistent message with a "call to action" for more information. Specifically, media advertising would be concentrated in leading consumer Travel magazines and Lifestyle magazines. These magazines have a wide circulation, and a relatively long "shelf life" allowing the Hermosa Beach message to be seen by a lot of potential travelers over a prolonged period of time. Publications to be targeted would include The Los Angeles Sunday Travel Section and: "Westways" and "Via" are the official magazines of Southern and Northern California AAA, published bi-monthly, with a combined circulation of 5,535,000 copies. The magazines have an extensive advertising section aimed a California regions, and are a very cost-effective way to reach a huge potential audience. "Sunset" is the leading lifestyle magazine for the Westem USA, primarily middle aged oriented with a subscription base of 1.4 million households. "California" is the official Visitors Guide to the State, distributed by the California Department of Tourism. 400,000 copies are distributed annually, with an estimated readership of 1.9 million. Direct Mail Direct mail allows us the opportunity to present motivational information into the hands of targeted potential visitors to Hermosa Beach. A direct mail "mini -brochure" can also act as an additional fulfillment piece to the Bureau's advertising efforts and an accompaniment to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau Business Directory. The brochure can be mailed and distributed to a variety of sources including: • Direct advertising responses • Past advertising responses • Internet inquiries • Hotel databases • Trade shows We propose that a motivational brochure be created that highlights all the sites and activities in Hermosa Beach. A map, list of hotels and motels, and local attractions will all be contained in the brochure. 11 Public Relations A public relations campaign can be one of the most effective forms of marketing. Through the use of press releases, liaisons with travel writers, and general promotional activities, the Chamber can build long-term recognition with potential travelers. A schedule of quarterly Press Releases would be established. They will focus on subjects relative to promoting the general "experience" of a visit to Hermosa Beach as well as specific activities throughout the year. Such topics could include: • "Hermosa Beach...A Great Place to Stay" • "Hermosa and Family Attractions/Sporting Events • "Ten Great Ways to Discover Hermosa Beach" Press Releases would be sent to 100 targeted Regional and State newspapers, and 75 key Consumer and Trade publications. Rack Cards We propose that a "Rack Card" be created for Hermosa Beach. This card would highlight the attractions as well as featuring practical information: such as how to get here, driving distances, and proximity to major LA attractions. The "Rack Card" would be distributed on an on-going basis to 470 locations including hotel, car rental companies, restaurants, and specialty shops in the following key areas: • Los Angeles • LAX/South Bay/Long Beach • San Fernando Valley • Inland Empire (144 locations) (153 locations) (90 locations) (83 locations) A total of 100,000 Rack Cards would be produced for monthly distribution to these outlets. This is an inexpensive way to reach visitors within a 3 -hour drive span. 12 Website Upgrades We propose to add an entire section to the Chamber Website to feature Vacation Package Getaways, coupons to local shops and restaurants, and (paid) menus from our dining guide. Our website is currently getting 1,100 "hits" a month, which will continue to grow with these added (and Advertised) sections. 13 Tourism Proposed Advertising & Public Relations Budget Print Advertising • Production of advertising artwork for 8 different ads featuring a different hotel package (co-op funds may help with total costs) • Placement of advertising in LA Travel Section, AAA magazines, and Sunset Magazine Direct Mail • Layout, copy, and artwork for 6 panel color brochure • Printing of brochure • Mailing of brochure to respondents and hotel databases • Postage, envelopes, labor Public Relations • Research • Writing of 3 releases • Placement and sales of stories to travel editors Rack Cards • Production of cards • Printing of cards • Monthly distribution (9 months) Agency Fee • Development of Concepts • Creative design of Ads • Creative design of Brochure • Media research and selection • Copy writing • Account management Website • Vacation Packages • Coupons • Restaurant Menus $23,000 $16,000 $6,000 $13,000 $15,000 $ 2,000 HBCC Staff Hours $15,000 • 700 hours of staff time (4 '/Z months) Total Budget $90,000 .14 • • Published under the Chamber Budget— Current Program The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau Business Directory and Visitor Guide 2001 This 57 page, 4/color glossy booklet is published by Performance Publishing Group, Inc. especially for the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. It is a compilation of demographic information, history, and dining, shopping, and recreational ideas for both the resident and the visitor to Hermosa Beach. Nearly half the publication consists of advertisements and text promoting restaurants, nightclubs, and local businesses. It also contains a full listing by category of the Chamber's membership. This publication is mailed to all member businesses in Hermosa Beach. 6,000 homes were mailed the publication directly. It is also available for visitors who enter the Chamber office. Most importantly, it is provided at the downtown headquarters of the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau and in guest rooms in the following hotels: Cost - $50,000 paid by Chamber. Barnaby's Hotel Beach House Crowne Plaza Hotel Hermosa Quality Inn The Sea Sprite The Grandview Holiday Inn Express Hotel Radisson Manhattan Beach Marriott Residence Inn Portofino Hotel Hampton Inn Published Under theChamber Budget — Current Program Website The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau has a web address of www.hbchamber.net and www.hermosabeachchamberofcommerce.com. The site is currently hosted by Jack Frost Design, and weekly updates are made by webmaster Arash Nafissi of the Chamber staff. The website currently includes the same information and graphics as the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau Business Directory and Visitors Guide, plus a link to the Fiesta Hermosa site. 15 • • The Chamber is working to supplement the website with direct links to member businesses, enabling web visitors to gain additional and immediate information about a specific restaurant, hotel, or local company. Some of our older members already have web links in place. Links to hotels with online registration capabilities will be able to assist the web browser with immediate reservations. We will work with local member hotels to add link capabilities. The Chamber will conduct a survey of its members to see how many new member companies are online, and a plan will be devised to incorporate these changes on the website. A "members only" section may also be added to facilitate communications between members. In addition, the Chamber will add web pages for the newsletter, a current list of city and chamber events, a map of "how to get to Hermosa Beach", and transit options. The Chamber purchased "Microsoft Frontpage", a web software program, to facilitate these additions. The costs for Chamber web expansion was as follows: Redesign and database input: $ 4,000 Staff Training $ 1000 Total Spent by Chamber in 2002 $ 5,000 16 Marketing to Businesses • Examine the current business license tax for all who do business in Hermosa Beach. Transient business tax licensees could have an added surcharge to their licenses to offset the cost of a marketing program to prospective tenants. • A City Zoning Map should be made available through the Planning Department to developers, real estate agents, businesses, and residents. • Vacant retail property sites should be published in the 2 local newspapers in the legal section at $60 once a month. 12 ads @ $60 month = $720 • Sales tax should be broken down by type of business, zone or other designations, and by both licensed storefronts vs. transient licensees. A report on "the best sales tax producers" should be analyzed, in an attempt to replace the auto dealers. Then, a plan should be put in place to attract businesses that can withstand the current economy, will entice the locals to shop locally, and will flourish in the existing property vacancies. For this, we recommend a Development Consultant. 40 hrs. @ $45 ea. = $ 1,800 • A Marketing and Communications Consultant should be hired to put a written package together that lists city demographics, spending levels, parking, foot and traffic patterns, City and State office information, zoning map, Small Business Association coursework and consulting, and other pertinent information. 40 hrs. @ $45 ea. = $1,800 • Create special Chamber/City website for prospects listing the above mentioned demographics, spending levels, parking, foot and car traffic, City Offices, zoning map, SBA Information, State and County Phone Numbers. $5,000 • Create "new business" team led by a Consultant with input from Chamber and City Hall to meet with prospective Business tenants. $200/hr x 12 prospects = $2,400 TOTAL COST $11,720 Marketing to Residents Local Business Directory • Delivery to 6000 homes • Handy reference numbers • Index by type of business • Community organizations Coupon Booklets • Special rates at restaurants • Discounts at service companies (dry cleaners, car wash, shoe repair) • Getaway weekday rates at hotels/motels • Copes delivered to residents and in hotels Sidewalk Sales • Full-page, color advertising in Easy Reader and Beach Reporter for 5 holiday weekends HB Calendar of Events • Photos from contest winners and professionals • City/Chamber/School/Non-Profit Events FREE (Chamber funds only) $ 5,000 $10,000 FREE TOTAL COST $15,000 18 Total Expenditures and Proposed Budget MARKETING TO TOURISTS Print Ads $ 23,000 Direct Mail Response $ 16,000 Public Relations $ 6,000 Rack Cards $ 13,000 Agency Fee $ 15,000 Website $ 2,000 HBCC Staff Hours $ 15,000 Total Budget $ 90,000 MARKETING TO BUSINESSES Research Committee -0- New Business Team -0- Special B to B Section of Web $ 3,000 Total Budget $ 3,000 MARKETING TO RESIDENTS Local Business Directory -0- Coupon Booklets $ 5,000 Sidewalk Sale Advertising $ 10,000 HB Calendar -0- Total Budget $ 15,000 GRAND TOTAL: $108,000 19 1 PROJECTED REVENUES — VISITORS BUREAU PLAN Here is the formula that Myriad Travel Marketing uses to predict results to an advertising campaign: $60,000 will be spent in advertising. This includes print ads, public relations travel section stories, rack cards, and a direct response brochure mailed to targeted customers. The agency uses a formula that is based on $5 (of advertising dollars) per response. This means we can count on 12,000 responses to our advertising. Then, a 15% conversion (to customers) rate is applied. This results in 1,800 customers. Because most travelers do not travel alone, we can multiply 1,800 customers by 1.5 This results in 2,700 visitors with an average stay of 2.5 days. This converts to 6,750 nights of stay based on our advertising campaign. 6,750 nights of stay multiplied by the average of $100 room rate equals $675,000. The 10% TOT tax on this total is $67,500, which would go to the City of Hermosa Beach. These same 2,700 visitors would spend $75 per day multiplied by 2.5 days, which is $187.50 per visitor times 2,700 visitors. This totals $506,250. The City of Hermosa Beach makes 1% of the 8% sales tax on the 506,250. This totals $5;062.50 The total income to Hermosa Beach is $67,500 in TOT tax plus $5,062.50 in city tax equaling $ 72,562.50. This is a very conservative estimate, especially because we have not figured in repeat visitors, or visitors who stay longer than 2.5 days. But all told, for an initial investment of $85,000 for the first year of this program, the City of Hermosa Beach will have a return on their investment at a minimum of $ 72,562.50 and an expenditure of only $12,437.50. The success of this program in future years should grow incrementally, due to exposure of Hermosa Beach as a "travel destination". As with all advertising campaigns, repeated exposures will bring increased consumer'recognition, increased results, and increased profitability. ,1 -4s -A3 February 4, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of Hermosa Beach City Council February 25, 2003 SUBJECT: REPORT ON LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM STATUS AND RESUBMITTAL OF LOCAL COASTAL PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Review the Draft Local Coastal Plan and Local Implementation Plan. 2. Approve the attached resolution, authorizing submittal of the draft documents as prepared or as amended by City Council. Background: The California Coastal Act requires that each city prepare a Local Coastal Program consisting of a Local Coastal Plan (LCP) and Local Implementation Plan (LIP) for approval by the California Coastal Commission in order to obtain local permit authority for projects within the coastal zone. On May 9, 2000 the City Council reviewed and approved the City's Local Coastal Plan and Implementation Plan for submittal to the Coastal Commission. The City has prepared four versions of the LCP; one preliminary draft and three final drafts. Each of the documents was reviewed and discussed at length with Commission staff, with the intent of resolving differences. However, after two and one-half years of meetings on these differences regarding the LCP, staff has determined that it is not possible to satisfactorily resolve them. Therefore, staffrecommends that the Council review the documents, and authorize their submital for Coastal Commission hearing without further modification. The City currently has a grant for preparing the LCP which will largely be completed with final submittal of these documents. Analysis: The City submitted three revised Local Coastal Programs to the Coastal Commission. Upon review of the latest revised draft document, the Commission staff made numerous additional changes which are described below: 2. Water Quality Ordinance Applied to the Coastal Zone. Coastal staff require changes to the City's storm water regulations and the entire storm water ordinance reproduced in the LIP. Coastal staff also want sections of the Coastal Act referenced in the LIP similar to the City of Malibu LCP. The City's draft LCP and LIP already includes water quality requirements by reference to Chapter 8.44 of the City's Municipal Code. Staff believes that instead of reproducing them in their entirety in the coastal plan, they should be included by reference only. The City has a compliant water quality ordinance in the Municipal Code and it is redundant to place the entire water quality ordinance in the LIP. The City's water quality ordinance was recently amended to comply with the very stringent 2002 NPDES permit adopted by the Regional Water Quality Board. The ordinance does not need to be revised further by 6b • • the Coastal Commission. Furthermore, if all of the City's water quality ordinances are placed in the LCP, then every time the Regional Board amends the NPDES permit or the permit requires adoption of amendments to our ordinance, it will be necessary to engage in the time consuming task of also amending the LCP with public hearings at Planning Commission, City Council and the Coastal Commission. The City could be out of compliance with NPDES requirements due to the length of the review and hearing process. In addition, two-thirds of the City is not in the Coastal Zone and the City may have different and potentially conflicting requirements with two sets of water quality regulations applicable within and outside of the Coastal Zone. 3. Temporary Events in the Coastal Zone. Coastal staff wants the City to include a temporary events ordinance in the LIP and the requirement to issue a Coastal Development Permit for temporary events. The Commission staff want the policy amended and reproduced as part of the LIP. The Commission staff assert that the temporary events section in the LIP is inadequate and must clarify inconsistency between an 8 day guideline for events and the 14 day guideline in the Municipal Code and that the City must set a separate threshold for time sensitive events between Memorial Day and Labor Day with notification to the California Coastal Commission and the Los Angeles County. The City's draft LIP includes reference to the City's current policy and a proposed Ordinance. The temporary events policy was recently approved by Council and a draft ordinance has been prepared for City Council approval. Furthermore, the City does not have special events which last over 8 days in the period between May to September and some events are outside of the Coastal Zone. The LIP provides that "The City Council shall adopt an annual calendar of major Temporary/Special Events on or before March 31 of every year." (Please see attached draft ordinance.) 4. Parking in the Coastal Zone. Coastal staff want the City to provide annual tracking for parking supply in the downtown to provide a count of all on -street and off-street parking. The City does not need to identify all on-site and off-site parking in the downtown and the rest of the coastal zone relative to the LIP. The LIP provides for an in -lieu parking program up to 100 spaces. Upon issuance of_100 in lieu parking spaces, the City is required to construction new parking. There is no reason to annually count parking and provide this count to the Commission, since the City may simply identify the number of in -lieu parking spaces approved annually to comply with the 100 space threshold. The tracking of in -lieu approvals (though discretionary permits and the City's annual budget) is far easier than annually surveying all of the parking in the coastal zone. 5. Categorical Exclusions will not be accepted in the draft LCP and LIP. The Commission staff will not include a section in the LIP providing for exclusions from the requirement to obtain a coastal development permit for single family dwellings. Currently, single family development is exempt from the requirement for discretionary permits if the project is consistent with the requirements of the City's Municipal Code. Approximately one-half of the City is located in the Coastal Zone and approximately one-third of this area is • comprised of single family zoned property, which will be subject to discretionary review by the City if it is not excluded from coastal development permit requirements. The City has argued that this is an unreasonably burden on single family zoned property which is currently subject only to a waiver requirement for a coastal development permit. (ie. the owner must apply to Coastal Commission and the permit requirement is waived.) If the Commission recommendations are enacted, the City will be responsible for preparing a public notice and conducting a hearing for development on such property. The City's original draft LIP provided for coastal development permit exclusions for single family development not located within the "appealable" area and was redrafted to include a reserved section in the plan for eventual inclusion of such exclusions. The Coastal staff rejected even the reference to a section in the LIP reserved for Categorical Exclusions. Commission staff have required that the City request such exclusions at a later date which they may or may not accept. Recently they have rejected categorical exclusions in the Manhattan Beach and the Redondo Beach LCPs. Staff believes that the above requirements are unreasonable and that the LCP should be presented to the Coastal Commission as prepared without further revision. The City has participated in good faith and made many adjustments to accommodate Coastal staff. Ultimately, the decision- regarding approval of the LCP resides with the Coastal Commission, not staff, and the document presented is consistent with the Coastal Act and appropriate.

The amendments are necessary to update the L.U.P. and improve consistency with the California Coastal Act. The regulations to implement the policies of the LUP and the Coastal Act are contained within the Implementation Ordinance (separate cover).

Coastal Development and Design 6 V. Water Quality 8 City of Hermosa Beach Draft Amendments to the Certified LUP 2/25/03 1 I. Local Coastal Program Preparation The Local Coastal Program incorporates the goals and policies of the Coastal Act into the City of Hermosa Beach's regulations. The Local Coastal Program identifies the location, type, densities and development standards for future development within the Coastal Zone. The Local Coastal Program is comprised of two documents: • Land Use Plan (LUP). A portion of the City's General Plan and General Plan Map addressing the California Coastal Act. • Implementing Ordinance. The portions of the City's development standards, operating procedures, Zoning Ordinance and maps that implement the requirements of the California Coastal Act. This document is the Land Use Plan portion of the City's Local Coastal Program. The Land Use Plan was originally certified by the Coastal Commission in 1982. The Land Use Plan was updated when the Local Coastal Program, including the Implementing Ordinance, was certified by the Coastal Commission on 2002. The Local Coastal Program was certified by the Coastal Commission following a Citywide informational mailer, two public hearings with the Planning Commission and _ public hearings with the City Council. The following are the Goals, Objectives, Policies and Programs that will guide the implementation of the Coastal Act in the City of Hermosa Beach. The Goals, Objectives, Policies and Programs are contained in three main categories: Parking and Access, Coastal Recreational Access, and Coastal Development and Design. Each category begins with a guiding Statement of Philosophy, followed by a set of broad Goals and Objectives, and finishes with a set of more detailed Policies and Programs. The Policies and Programs are divided into existing, measures that are currently employed by the City, and future policies and programs, measures that the City will employ when the ability and opportunity arise. II. Parking and Access Summary A. Statement of Philosophy To preserve and increase where feasible, residential, commercial, and general public parking within the Coastal Zone. B. Goals and objectives 1. To provide adequate residential parking 2. To maintain adequate parking space for visitors, shoppers, and beach -goers. 3. To facilitate easy access to work-related parking for merchants. 4. To maximize the safety and accessibility of parking while minimizing noise, traffic congestion and negative visual impacts. 5. To provide an equitable distribution and allocation of parking resources. 6. To recognize the unique parking needs of the pedestrian -oriented downtown business and visitor serving area, which are less than a typical commercial area because of its proximity to a regional bike path and to high density residential areas, and to continue to explore and encourage new sources of parking, parking strategies, transit options, and alternative means of travel as alternatives to providing parking on-site for new development. City of Hermosa Beach Draft Amendments to the Certified LUP 2/25/03 2 C. Policies and Programs Hermosa's particular history of development is reflected in the following policies and programs. Policies have been divided into those policies that are now in force and currently supported by codes and ordinance and those policies that the City should consider for enactment. 1. Existing Policies and Programs Policy: That the City shall discourage the elimination of existing on -street parking or off-street parking spaces within the coastal zone. Future residential and commercial construction should provide the actual parking necessary to meet the demand generated. In the pedestrian -oriented downtown commercial district alternatives to providing parking to meet increased demands for use should be allowed, to encourage alternatives to using motorized vehicles and to encourage improvement and enhancement of visitor -serving business activities. Program: Current City Building Codes and the Zoning Ordinance support the current policy. The replacement of parking spaces, or other means deemed appropriate to reduce parking demand, is mandatory for all developments in which on -street parking spaces are eliminated or the total number of off-street parking spaces are reduced. Policy: That the City should control congestion through the granting of parking permits through an allocation plan that reflects the actual need and supply. Policy: Balance beach access and residential parking by continuing the seasonal preferential parking and remote beach parking programs within impacted residential areas near the beach. Program: Continue to implement the preferential parking and remote beach parking program during the summer, pursuant to Coastal Development Permit 5-84-236, as amended, to provide beach access parking at parking meters and in "remote" but beach accessible parking lots, and to limit non-resident parking on designated residential streets as identified on the Preferential Parking District Boundary Map. Program: Provide and maintain signs to direct beach -goers to beach access remote parking lots, and other beach access parking lots within the City. Program: A minimum of 400 free public parking spaces will continue to be provided to beach visitors at the following locations: • On the Greenbelt, between 8th and 11th Street, east side of Valley Drive • Public lots near the Civic Center; • West of Valley Drive adjacent.to Valley Park Policy: Maintain a supply of parking that balances long-term (beach user) and short-term (shoppers) parking in the downtown area to provide an adequate and flexible number of parking spaces to satisfy beach user and commercial demand. Program: Public parking is provided in the North Pier parking structure, public parking lots, and on the street. The rates for parking at these downtown parking will continue to be flexibly structured, recognizing seasonal and locational demands, to encourage an efficient balance between beach users, visitor -serving commercial uses, and other commercial demand. Program: The City has commissioned a study to develop a downtown parking plan. Program: The City Council, acting as members of the Vehicle Parking District Commission, shall determine the best use of revenue funds for the downtown for the acquisition, construction of new parking facilities, and/or the maintenance and operation of existing parking facilities for the benefit City of Hermosa Beach 2/25/03 3 Draft Amendments to the Certified LUP of the area; for other improvements and enhancements including, but not limited to: street, landscaping, and pedestrian sidewalk improvements; public events; and the general promotion of business activities in the area. Policy: The City shall establish parking requirements in the Downtown Enhancement District (DED) identical to the requirements set forth in other areas of the City's coastal zone. However in recognition of the unique parking needs and constraints in the downtown district, the City may explore the creation of and grant exceptions to the parking requirements such as, but not limited to, in -lieu fee programs, parking plans, the creation of remote parking lots with shuttle connections, reduced parking requirements, or shared parking programs. Policy: Minimize parking impacts by encouraging a mix of visitor -serving and other commercial uses that balances peak and non -peak parking demand that occurs during the day and seasonally. Program: In order to mitigate the impacts of increased parking demand that is created by new development, but is not compensated for by requiring additional parking spaces, the City Council shall provide an in -lieu fund transfer or an in -lieu fee as described in Section 17.44.190 of the Zoning Ordinance and Ordinance No. 80-643 and Resolutions Nos. 80-4307 and 99-6001 to an improvement fund earmarked specifically for creating parking, in an amount determined to be sufficient to off -set the increase in required parking spaces caused by the expansion, intensification, or new construction not provided on site. If the City Council determines that the private party it responsible for the in -lieu fee, the private party shall pay said fee. Program: The City shall not accept a fee in lieu of providing on site parking unless the Community Development Director assures that sufficient parking exists to accommodate the parking demand of new development. The improvement fund to mitigate increased parking demand shall be geared to a threshold limit of increased parking demand. The threshold limit shall be established at 100 parking spaces and the City shall construct new parking upon reaching that threshold limit or the City shall not accept any fees in -lieu of parking beyond that threshold limit. Future Policies That the City should investigate and, where feasible, enact the following policies: Policy: That the City should maximize the efficiency of and consider the possibility of lease or purchase of parking lots dispersed throughout the City and downtown enhancement district so as to minimize the impact on the parking demand to the City and its residents. Policy: That the City should consider the reorientation of the City's current transportation service so as to provide transit service for visitors and residents according to their needs. III. Coastal Recreational Access A. Statement of Philosophy Hermosa Beach shall maintain its current high level of recreational access to the coast and its recreational facilities and be consistent with maintaining the beach in its most natural state. B. Goals and Objectives 1. Maximum access and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse. City of Hermosa Beach Draft Amendments to the Certified LUP 2/25/03 4 2. Low cost visitor recreational facilities will be maintained and encouraged where feasible. 3. The City shall protect its coastal resources for recreational activities. C. Policies and Programs Hermosa's particular history of development is reflected in the following policies and programs. Policies have been divided into those policies that are now in force and currently supported by codes and ordinance and those policies that the City should consider for enactment. 1. Existing Policies and Programs Policy: That the City should restrict buildings and structures on the beach with regards to size and number consistent with current access, safety, and beach usage. Police/Lifeguard structures should be held to a minimum both in size and number consistent with good safety practices. Program: The City presently has within its Beach Development Plan (adopted Jan. 4, 1972 and included as Appendix F) a restriction on the type and number of facilities that can be placed on the beach west of the Strand. Policy: Vehicular traffic, including lifeguard trucks and police cars should be barred from the beach and the Strand except for emergencies and necessary cleaning and patrolling functions. Policy: That existing access through regular streets and walk -streets that now give everyone excellent access to and from the beach shall continue. (See Appendix C, Page C-2, Figure 8). Policy: Temporary events play a valuable visitor -serving role in the City by increasing public access to coastal resources. They attract thousands of people to the City that otherwise might not make the City their destination. Temporary events are regulated through a special event permit process to address public safety, transportation, parking, clean-up and other logistical and operational issues and to minimize the burden they impose on the City's infrastructure and residents. Temporary events do not have any permanent or significant impact on coastal resources, environmentally sensitive resources or rare or endangered species, nor do they detract from access to the vast stretches of coastline within the City located outside the immediate area of the event. Hence, coastal development permits are not required for temporary events. 2. Future Policies and Programs Policy: That the City should, in conjunction with the City of Manhattan Beach, create a continuous and seamless beachfront bicycle and pedestrian path between the two cities. Policy: That the City should promote beach and recreational. facilities related to commercial development by refining the commercial (C-2) zone to encourage commercial -recreational uses. Policy: The City, where feasible, should construct parkettes and pedestrian spaces similar to the ones constructed at 13th, 14t and 15th Streets and Beach Drive. Policy: That the parkettes and pedestrian spaces should be integrated with the east side of the Strand to provide rest areas with benches and that the placement of benches and other pedestrian amenities be distributed evenly along the Strand to avoid congestion points. City of Hermosa Beach 2/25/03 Draft Amendments to the Certified LUP !o IV. Coastal Development and Design A. Statement of Philosophy Hermosa Beach is a densely developed, older community which is in transition and which is a coastal resource for the people of California. B. Goals and Objectives 1. To develop a stable population which is suited to available land area and community resources. 2. To preserve and enhance public coastal areas. 3. To encourage historic preservation to maintain the eclectic character of Hermosa Beach's mixed architectural styles. 4. To continue to develop facilities that serve the needs of both coastal visitors and the City's residents. 5. To preserve and, where feasible, enhance the City's remaining open space. C. Policies and Programs Hermosa's particular history of development is reflected in the following policies and programs. Policies have been divided into those policies that are now in force and currently supported by codes and ordinance and those policies that the City should consider for enactment. 1. Existing Policies and Programs Policy: Development in the Coastal Zone will be reviewed and permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Coastal Act and the policies and implementation programs of the City's Local Coastal Program. Policy: That the City should restrict building height to protect public coastal and preserve the City's existing low-rise profile.

City of Hermosa Beach 2/25/03 19 Draft Implementing Ordinance 33 STATE OF CALIFORNIA - THE RESOURCES A1;ENCY • GRAY DAVIS, Govemor CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION C South Coast Area Office �u M V E D 200 Oceangate, Suite 1000 Long Beach, CA 90802-4302 (562) 590-5071 t 4 7 2 November 1, 2002 Sol Blumenfeld, Planning Director 0 1' 1 V. DEPT. RECEIVED City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive NMI 0 5 71144 Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885 COM. DEV. DEPT. Re: City of Hermosa Beach Coastal Land Use Plan (LUP) and Implementation Plan (IP) Dear Mr. Blumenfeld: Thank you for sending the requested information regarding the draft LUP and IP. The Long Beach office received the packet containing documents relative to water quality, temporary events, coastal access parking and categorical exclusions on September 30, 2002. In your attached cover letter, you requested that the information, if acceptable to Commission staff, be scheduled for the November, 2002 Coastal Commission meeting. On October 8, 2001, the City of Hermosa Beach withdrew their LCP submittal and as of October 29, 2002 the City has not made a formal resubmittal with the appropriate local government resolution pursuant to Section 13518 of the Califomia Code of Regulations. While the recent information submitted has been helpful, there are still areas in the draft LUP and IP where Commission staff would need to make suggested modifications were this a formal submittal. Previously, the City Attorney of Hermosa Beach raised the question regarding the California Coastal Commission's authority over water quality matters. Regarding water quality,.Sections 30230 and 30231 of the Califomia Coastal Act establish the Commission's broad authority to protect water quality. Section 30230 provides the Commission with a broad basis to protect and enhance marine resources and coastal waters that are adversely impacted by polluted runoff. The biological productivity of coastal waters is a function of good water quality. In addition, it provides the basis for a greater level of protection for coastal estuarine and coastal wetland habitats and species of special biological significance by regulating uses that contribute polluted runoff and adversely impact marine organisms. Section 30231 establishes the Commission's authority to protect coastal water quality by preventing or controlling polluted runoff generated by marine and land use activities. Subject to P.R.C. § 30412, it also provides the Commission with authority to implement management . measures and BMPs in order to maintain, enhance and restore coastal waters to maintain optimum populations of marine organisms and human health. In addition, it provides for protection of coastal watersheds through implementation of management measures and BMPs, including but not limited to minimizing adverse effects of discharges, controlling runoff, minimizing hydromodification and stream alterations, and maintaining natural vegetation buffers. Furthermore, the California Coastal Commission as the designated lead coastal zone management agency, and the State Water Resources Control Board are the two lead agencies authorized by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration and the US Environmental Protection Agency to develop and coordinate the implementation of the California Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program (NPS Plan). Califomia's Nonpoint Source Plan conforms with the Clean Water Act and Section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments, and it is the primary document guiding the 28 state agencies involved in NPS efforts statewide. Our analysis of this recently submitted information is just preliminary at this point; please understand this does not constitute a final review or analysis of this submittal. It appears that the 3( Hermosa Beach Page 2 policies relating to water quality are essentially establishing the framework for implementing the requirements by Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP). The Hermosa Beach SUSMP is a requirement of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. Currently, the SUSMP is incorporated by reference into the LCP's Implementation Plan. We will be considering whether this approach is sufficient. Additionally, these ordinances will also be undergoing review per Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. For the purposes of a Local Coastal Plan, at a very minimum water quality policies in an LCP should reflect relevant Coastal Act policies, namely Sections 30230 and 30231, and as applicable, Sections 30232, 30233, 30235, 30236, and 30240 which deal with some aspect of water quality in relation to other coastal resources. In our review of the LCP we will be considering whether the LUP policies have sufficient detail with respect to the Coastal Act. Recently approved by the Coastal Commission, the City of Malibu LCP contains a thorough set of water quality policies that exemplify one kind of format LCP policies can take. Regarding temporary events, suggested modifications would be necessary in the draft LUP policy for temporary events. The draft implementation ordinance refers to guidelines under Section 12.28.010 of the Municipal Code for special event permits. The code then refers to Sections 12.28.060 through .090 and 12.28.110. Please include these additional sections in your formal LCP submittal. The draft IP establishes an eight-day guideline for events. However, the City's Municipal Code sets a 14 -day time limit for all special events. There is no distinction in the Municipal Code for events occurring in the coastal zone. A suggested modification would be necessary to clarify. The draft document does establish a threshold for events that require a coastal development permit. However, the implementation ordinance (nor Section 12.28.010 of the Municipal Code) does not address time sensitive events that occur between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day. The California Coastal Commission approved specific guidelines for temporary events that addressed these issues. The Municipal Code requires information from the applicant specifying the dates and length of the event and whether an admission fee will be charged but nowhere in the implementing ordinance is it stated that a coastal development permit is required for sandy beach area events that occur during the beach peak use period and when the public is charged a fee. The draft implementation ordinance requires that a special events calendar receive approval from the local government by a certain date. It should be stated in the proposed IP that the County of Los Angeles and the Coastal Commission be notified of the final events calendar following local approval. Chapter three policies of the Coastal Act and the guidelines for temporary events approved by the Coastal Commission will be the basis for Commission staff analysis of this particular topic in the-LUP and IP. Regarding coastal access parking and in -lieu fees, Commission staff recommends that the City establish a base line and annual tracking system for the supply of parking spaces. Other minor suggested modifications may be necessary in the LUP amendment. On page 4 of the draft LUP amendment, Resolution 99-6001 is cited in the fourth program along with other ordinance and resolution numbers. Please include a copy of Resolution 99-6001 with your formal LCP submittal. You also stated in your cover letter that the. City is interested in the Commission considering the matter of Categorical Exclusions. The City of Hermosa Beach will need to make a formal request for exclusion pursuant to Subchapter 5, Article 1, Section 13241 of the California Code of Regulations. The section states that the City shall provide the Executive Director of the Commission with materials and information that the Executive Director deems necessary to make the findings required by Public Resources Code, Section 30610(e) and 30610.5(b) and the California Environmental Quality Act. 3S • Hermosa Beach Page 3 We appreciate the opportunity to work together with the City on the drafting of the LUP amendment and implementing ordinance. It is our goal to have a staff recommendation for the Commission with minimal suggested modifications. We would be happy to meet again to discuss these matters further if you feel it is necessary prior to submitting a formal LCP application. If you have any questions please contact Melissa Stickney or myself at 562-590-5071.

The City will incorporate its water quality ordinance as recently amended by reference in the LIP Section 17.37.240. A new development standard relative to roof drainage will also be added to our residential development requirements in the Zone Code. (Please see attached relative to water quality.) The parking and access programs of the LUP are referenced under Section 17.37.060 A and B of the LIP. The temporary events policies of the LUP are referenced under 17.37.250 of the LIP (Please see attached summary table.) I have annotated the attached ordinances and background information in order to simplify your review. Please call me if you have any further questions. If these changes are acceptable, please calendar the Hermosa Beach LUP and LIP for the November Coastal Commission meeting. We also discussed the City's desire to have the Commission consider the matter of Categorical Exclusions. I have attached a copy of wording which we want to incorporate in the LUP relative to excluded projects. Our preference is to have this matter considered with the LUP rather than simply reserving a section of the LUP for excluded projects. If the matter must be considered separately from the LUP then we want it to be considered immediately following the LUP hearing so that this important issue is addressed with the Plan's approval. After two years of working together on the City's Local Coastal Program our mutual intent should be to have two seamless documents (LUP and LIP) that we can present in final form and without qualification to the Coastal Commission: Thank you for your help.

A separate report is attached concerning the use of treated wood. This report has been prepared in response to your direction at the meeting of January 14, 2003. 2. A proposal from Jim & Karen Obradovich to donate seven trees to be located in Valley Park along the western boundary, Morningside. Please see attached letter. 3. A request from residents along a portion of the south boundary to move the trees away from the fence line so that the leaves from the trees do not fall in their yards. Background: 1. The attached report details the information that staff and the design team have assembled for your use in making a decision regarding the use of the treated wood products. 2. The proposal from Jim & Karen Obradovich to donate the seven trees for the park. The overall park plan was reviewed and approved by the City Council after a comprehensive review of the park. The trees that have been proposed would seem to work well in the park and the area that they have proposed to plant them did not have a great number of trees. The additional trees, if approved, could be added and installed prior to the park re -opening. 3. Several residents that have homes adjacent to the southwest boundary of the park contacted staff. The new landscape plans included installation of trees along the park's southern boundary. The trees are planted about five feet from the fence line. The residents have requested that the trees be either replaced with other plant materials such as shrubs that would not grow too high or removal. If the City Council wishes to consider this request, staff would suggest that the large trees near these properties be relocated elsewhere in the park. A total of five trees are involved in this request. There will be a cost to make this change which, if approved, will be handled through a change order. Re ctfully submitted, -i eiv)" Stephen R. Burrell City Manager Honorable Mayor and Members of The Hermosa Beach City Council February 12, 2003 Regular Meeting of February 25, 2003 PROJECT NO. CIP 95-507 VALLEY PARK IMPROVEMENTS, DIRECT STAFF TO ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL WOOD POLES PER PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff to allow the contractor to install the chromated copper arsenate treated wood logs per plan and specifications. Background: During the January 14, 2003 City Council meeting Blair Smith, a Hermosa Beach resident, addressed the City Council claiming that chromated copper arsenate (CCA) used to treat the wooden logs to be installed at Valley Park would be banned by the end of this year. As a result, City Council directed Staff to investigate and directed City Manager Burrell to contact the contractor the following morning to stop the installation of the logs immediately. See Attachment 1 for January 14, 2003 City Council meeting minutes. Staff has investigated the claim that CCA would be "banned" by the end of the year. After researching several sources including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, this claim was found to be inaccurate. "On February 12, 2002, the EPA announced a voluntary decision by industry to move away from consumer use of CCA treated lumber by December 31, 2003, in favor of new alternative wood preservatives." See Attachment 2 for the EPA fact sheet. As of January 1, 2004, the EPA will not allow CCA products to be used to treat wood intended for residential uses such as play structures, decks, picnic tables, landscaping timbers, residential fencing, patios, and walkways/boardwalks. Existing structures built prior to January 1, 2004 are not affected by this action. Furthermore, "The EPA does not recommend that consumers replace existing structures made with CCA treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures." The EPA has not concluded that CCA treated wood poses any unreasonable risk to the public or the environment. Nevertheless, since CCA contains arsenic, a known human carcinogen, the EPA believes any reduction in the levels of potential exposure is desirable. Please see Attachment 3 for the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for CCA pressure treated wood. The most commonly used alternative to CCA is ammoniacal copper quaternary (ACQ). ACQ is far less toxic than CCA and contains no EPA listed hazardous chemicals. Please see Attachment 4 for the MSDS for ACQ. Representatives from David Evans and Associates (the designer) and Sullivan & Mann Lumber, Inc. (the supplier) are present tonight to answer any questions regarding the CCA pressure treated wood. Analysis: The CCA treated Togs currently meet the specifications as well as all EPA regulations. In addition, the EPA has not concluded that CCA treated wood poses any unreasonable risk. Therefore, the CCA treated wood can be installed per plans and specifications. Alternatives: Option 1 Remove all wood containing chromate copper arsenate (CCA) from only the playground area. The wood poles to remain are as follows: 1) poles along walkways 2) poles acting as retaining walls 3) poles holding the park sign on the northeast corner of the park 4) the poles for the barrier adjacent to the cobbles stone swale near the parking lot 5) the lodge poles for the new trees. Purchase and install wood poles that have been treated with ammoniacal copper quaternary (ACQ) per the plans in the playground area. Option 2 Remove all wood containing chromate copper arsenate (CCA) from the playground area only and nearby walkways. The wood poles to remain are as follows: 1) poles along walkways not adjacent to the playground area 2) poles acting as retaining walls 3) poles holding the park sign on the northeast comer of the park 4) the poles for the barrier adjacent to the cobbles stone swale near the parking lot 5) the lodge poles for the new trees. Purchase and install ACQ treated wood poles per the plans in the playground area and adjacent walkways. Option 3 Remove all wood containing chromate copper arsenate (CCA) from the entire park. Remove previously installed poles such as for the NE corner sign, poles adjacent to walkways, and the lodge poles. Purchase and install ACQ treated wood poles per the plans for the entire park. Fiscal Impact: None at this time. Attachments: 1. 2. 3. 4. January 14, 2003 Meeting Minutes EPA Fact Sheet MSDS for CCA MSDS for ACQ Respectfully submitted, Tristan D.

February 12, 2002 On February 12, 2002, EPA announced a voluntary decision by industry to move consumer use of treated lumber products away from a variety of pressure -treated wood that contains arsenic by December 31, 2003, in favor of new alternative wood preservatives. This transition affects virtually all residential uses of wood treated with chromated copper arsenate, also known as CCA, including wood used in play -structures, decks, picnic tables, landscaping timbers, residential fencing, patios and walkways/boardwalks. As of January 1, 2004, EPA will not allow CCA products to be used to treat wood intended for any of these residential uses. This decision will facilitate the voluntary transition to new alternative wood preservatives that do not contain arsenic in both the manufacturing and retail sectors. Although the Agency has not concluded that there is unreasonable risk to the public from these products, we do believe that any reduction in exposure to arsenic is desirable. This action comes years ahead of completing the Agency's regulatory and scientific assessment of CCA and will result in substantial reductions in potential exposure to CCA. Questions & Answers Regarding the CCA Transition Process • What uses of CCA -treated wood are affected by this transition? • Does CCA -treated wood present any health risks to me or my family? • What steps can parents take to reduce their family's potential exposure to CCA? • Should I replace my CCA -treated deck or play -set? • What types of coatings are most effective? • How can I tell if my deck has been constructed with CCA -treated wood? • What alternatives to CCA -treated wood will be available? • How will the voluntary transition away from CCA affect the Agency's risk assessment for residential use of CCA -treated wood? What uses of CCA -treated wood are affected by this transition? After December 31, 2003, wood treaters will no longer be able to use CCA to treat wood intended for use in decks, picnic tables, landscaping timbers, gazebos, residential fencing, patios, walkways/boardwalks, and play - structures. Wood treated prior to this date, however, can still be used in residential settings. Already built structures containing CCA -treated wood are not affected by this action. TOP Does CCA -treated wood present any health risks to me or my family? EPA has not concluded that CCA -treated wood poses any unreasonable risk to the public or the environment. Nevertheless, arsenic is a known human carcinogen and, thus, the Agency believes that any reduction in the levels of potential exposure to arsenic is desirable. EPA believes that the voluntary transition to non -arsenical containing wood preservatives for residential sites is a responsible action by the registrants. " TOP What steps can parents take to reduce their family's potential exposure to CCA? As a responsible parent, you manage a wide range of risks in your child's environment. Here are some common ATTACHMENT 2 2/13/03 http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/citizens/cca_transition.htm US EPA - Manufacturers to Use New lir Preservatives sense tips for minimizing unnecessary exposure to CCA: • Treated wood should never be burned in open fires, stoves, fireplaces, or residential boilers. • Always wash hands thoroughly after contact with any wood, especially prior to eating and drinking. • Food should not come into direct contact with any treated wood. • Always follow the precautions outlined in EPA's Consumer Safety Information Sheet before working with CCA -treated wood. Additional measures that may be taken include the following: • Apply a coating product to pressure -treated wood on a regular basis. Some studies suggest that this can reduce the amount of CCA that leaches from treated wood. (See the "coating" question below.) • Page 2 of 3 • When conducting new construction or repairs, consider the range of alternatives to CCA -treated wood. These alternatives include both non -arsenical chemical wood preservatives, as well as other wood and non - wood. Consult your local home improvement store for more information about available alternatives. " TOP Should I replace my CCA -treated deck or play -set? EPA does not recommend that consumers replace or remove existing structures made with CCA -treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures. Concerned citizens may want to take extra precautions, however, by applying a coating to exposed surfaces on a regular basis. (See below for more information on coating structures.) " TOP What types of coatings are most effective? While available data are very limited, some studies suggest that applying certain penetrating coatings (e.g., oil- based, semi -transparent stains) on a regular basis (e.g., once per year or every other year depending upon wear and weathering) may reduce the migration of wood preservative chemicals from CCA -treated wood. In selecting a finish, consumers should be aware that, in some cases, "film -forming" or nonpenetrating stains (e.g., latex semitransparent, latex opaque, and oil-based opaque stains) on outdoor surfaces such as decks and fences are not recommended, as subsequent peeling and flaking may ultimately have an impact on durability as well as exposure to the preservatives in the wood. Talk with your local hardware store about available coatings. ♦ TOP How can I tell if my deck has been constructed with CCA -treated wood? Freshly treated wood, if not coated, has a greenish tint, which fades over time. As a practical matter, CCA has been the principal chemical used to treat wood for decks and other outdoor uses around the home. Generally, if your deck has not been constructed with redwood or cedar, then most likely the deck was constructed with CCA - treated wood. Alternatively, if you know who constructed the deck, you may want to call and ask. " TOP What alternatives to CCA -treated wood will be available? A number of preservatives have been registered by EPA, and wood treated with these preservatives are expected to be available in the marketplace. In addition, untreated wood (e.g., cedar and redwood) and nonwood alternatives, such as plastics, metal, and composite materials are available. Your local hardware store or lumberyard can provide more information about available alternatives. http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/citizens/cca transition.htm 2/13/03 US EPA - Manufacturers to Use New . Preservatives TOP Page 3 of 3 How will the voluntary transition away from CCA affect the Agency's risk assessment for residential use of CCA -treated wood? Throughout this process we have continued working on our risk assessment and the Agency is continuing to proceed with a risk assessment. Through our risk assessment process to date, we have received extensive recommendations from the Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP), a group of scientific experts, on the best approach to evaluating potential risks to children from exposure to decks and play -structures. Visit the SAP Report for more information. We have also received many comments from the public, stakeholders, industry, and public interest groups and we will review these comments as we determine the next steps.

SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION INHALATION: Airbome treated or untreated wood dust may cause nose, throat or lung irritation and other respiratory effects. Buming treated wood can release toxic metals into ash and possibly smoke. Various species of untreated wood dust can elicit allergic respiratory response in sensitized persons. EYE CONTACT: Treated or untreated wood dust may cause mechanical irritation. SKIN CONTACT: Handling wood may result in skin exposure to splinters. When there is prolonged and/or repeated direct contact with treated or untreated wood dust, mild, transient irritation may occur. Various species of untreated wood dust can elicit allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals. ATTACHMENT 3 • • S INGESTION: Not anticipated to occur. A single ingestion by a small child of a large amount (approximately 2.5 ounces or 6 cubic inches) of treated wood dust may require immediate medical attention. CHRONIC EFFECTS: Treated or untreated wood dust, depending on species, may cause dermatitis on prolonged, repetitive contact; may cause respiratory sensitization and/or irritation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies untreated wood dust, inorganic arsenic and hexavalent chromium as human carcinogens (SEE NOTE). Wood dust classification is based primarily on IARC's evaluation of increased risk in the occurrence of adenocarcinomas of the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses associated with occupational exposures to untreated wood dust. NOTE: Some forms of the components of the liquid preservative used to manufacture this product (arsenic and chromium) have caused lung, skin and possibly other cancers in humans occupationally or environmentally overexposed. REPORTS OF THESE CANCERS DO NOT INCLUDE THE CCA -TREATED WOOD INDUSTRY OR THE USE OF CCA -TREATED WOOD. Waming: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer (This statement issued in accordance with Califomia Proposition 65). SECTION IV: FIRST AID MEASURES INHALATION: Remove from wood dust exposure. If breathing has stopped or is difficult, administer artificial respiration or oxygen. Seek medical aid if symptoms persist. EYE CONTACT: Gently flush any particles from the eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. DO NOT RUB THE EYES. SKIN CONTACT: Rinse skin free of material with water to avoid abrasion of skin. DO NOT RUB until skin is free of material then wash thoroughly with soap and water. INGESTION: Rinse the victim's mouth out with water. Induce vomiting only if directed by a physician or at the advice of a poison center.

SECTION XI: - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION STUDY ABSTRACTS: In Hawaii, where over 45,000 homes have been built almost entirely of CCA -treated wood, a study was conducted by the Pacific Biomedical Center of the University of Hawaii (the Budy-Rashad study) in 1977 to determine any possible effect on the health of carpenters. The study concluded that exposure to CCA -treated sawdust is not associated with increased risk of total cancer, lung cancer or lymphatic cancer and shows that excess respiratory cancer mortality was not observed in the carpenters. A study was conducted by the University of Alabama to evaluate the teratogenicity of CCA -impregnated sawdust when exposed to rabbits and mice. Sawdust from CCA -treated wood has been shown not to cause chromosome damage or teratogenicity in mice fed sawdust nor to cause birth defects in rabbits receiving sawdust applied to their skin. A series of reports released in 1990 from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) assessed the risk of cancer to children playing on CCA - treated wood playground equipment. Seven playground equipment samples were collected. The results of the study indicated the approximate risk of cancer from five samples was less than one in a million, a risk considered negligible. The remaining two samples yielded estimated risks of 3-4 in a million, also considered by CPSC to be a small risk. CARCINOGENIC STATUS: IARC, the NTP, OSHA and California Proposition 65 do not consistently distinguish among arsenic or chrome species but list inorganic arsenic and chromium and certain chromium compounds as human carcinogens. Cancers in humans have followed from long term: consumption of Fowler's Solution, a medicinal trivalent arsenical; inhalations and skin contact with inorganic trivalent arsenical sheep - dust; the combined inhalation of arsenic trioxide (trivalent arsenical), sulfur dioxide, and other particulates from ore smelting in arsenic trioxide production; and occupational exposure to nonwater-soluble hexavalent chromium. IARC has classified untreated wood dust as a Group I human carcinogen. WARNING : This wood contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. (This statement issued in accordance with California Proposition 65). SECTION XII: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION STUDY ABSTRACTS: A technical paper published in the Forest Products Journal (September, 1974) by Levi, Huisingh and Nesbitt described a study conducted to determine if CCA wood preservative in grapevine support posts might be absorbed by the vines, leaves and/or grapes. This study concluded that "... CCA preservatives are bound in wood, are not readily leached and are not concentrated in plants growing close to the treated wood." The Springbom. Laboratories Environmental Sciences Division in 1993 conducted a sediment exposure study using leachate from CCA treated and untreated marine pilings and exposing Ampelisca abdita for a period of 10 days. Survival of the organisms during the 10 -day exposure period was the biological endpoint used to establish the effects of exposure. Results indicated that leachate from treated pilings had no adverse effect on organism survival. It was concluded that the primary constituents of the CCA -treated wood piling were not present in the leachate at concentrations, which would adversely affect the survival of the organisms. Hickson Corporation conducted tests to evaluate treated wood used in raised vegetable gardens. Vegetables harvested from gardens in raised bed structures built of CCA -treated wood were compared with vegetables grown in untreated raised bed structures and with vegetables purchased at a local grocery store. Testing revealed that all vegetables contained minuscule amounts of each element in CCA. In some cases the levels of metals were actually higher in the vegetables grown in untreated bins, and in one case the store -purchased vegetable had the highest level of arsenic. The report concluded that there was "no uptake of the metal constituents into the vegetables." The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) "Market Basket Survey" has consistently shown that arsenic 3 in tomatoes is below the analytical level of detection despite the increased usage of arsenically-treated wood for tomato stakes. Moreover, even though CCA -treated wood has been increasingly used in applications such as cattle bunks and stalls and poultry brooders for the last ten years, the FDA survey has shown a decrease in the arsenic content of dairy, meat and poultry products. A study funded in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and prepared by the Marine Resources Division of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in 1995 measured the impact of wood preservative leachate from docks in an estuarine environment. Copper, chromium, arsenic, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in composite samples of sediments and naturally occurring oyster populations from creeks with high densities of docks, and from nearby reference creeks with no docks. Sediments from all but one site had metal and total PAH concentrations, which were below levels reported to cause biological effects and the oysters, showed no significant difference in their physiological condition. Bioassays were also conducted on four common estuarine species and hatchery -reared oysters. The results suggest that wood preservative leachates from dock pilings have no acutely toxic effects on these common species, nor do they affect the survival or growth of juvenile oysters over a six-week period. In some cases, metal leachates may accumulate in sediments and oysters immediately adjacent to pilings, but do not appear to become concentrated in sediments or oysters elsewhere in the same creeks.

We are excited about the park improvements the City of Hermosa Beach is proceeding with. After reviewing the plans, we noticed that no additional trees would be planted along Morningside Drive and Gould Avenue. We would like to donate seven trees (see plan) along Morningside Drive and Gould Ave. that will hopefully add to the beatification of the park. Hopefully the enclosed plan meets with your approval, if you need any additional information or suggestions please don't hesitate to call.

If this date is approved, staff will notify the Commissioners. Respectfully submitted, Ste en R. Burrell City Manager A February 19, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of February 25, 2002 DOWNTOWN AREA ACTIVITIES — DISCUSSION ITEM Recommendation: That the City Council review the information provided by staff and the information provided by the downtown area businesses and provide any further direction to staff on any changes to policies. Background: The City Council, at its meeting of January 28, 2003, appointed a City Council sub- committee of Councilmembers J.R. Reviczky and Art Yoon to meet with downtown area business operators in order to begin working on a plan to address the concerns that had been expressed about increased fighting in the downtown area during the past few months. The business group coordinated with staff and a meeting was held on Monday, February 3, 2003 with most, if not all, restaurants, taverns and bars represented. The business group had a lively discussion on how they viewed the problem and what steps they could take to reduce the problems. A number of business owners/operators spoke and many had specific suggestions on what they could do to improve the downtown area. The business group, with assistance from the Chamber of Commerce, has written a report that is attached for your review. Some of the specific proposals included adding lights on the fronts of each business that could be turned on when the business closes. A radio system between businesses was suggested so they could communicate problems or provide assistance to each other. The volume and type of music was discussed by the business operators and they all seemed to believe they could impact the behavior if the music was changes or mixed up to include a wider variety of music. A ban on drink specials was also suggested. Staff that attended the business meeting included the Police Chief, Fire Chief and City Manager. The Police Chief stated his concerns about over -serving, over -crowding, making sure I.D.s are being checked and lowering the volume of the music. The Fire Chief mentioned the ongoing issue of over -crowding and that during the past weekend a number of the businesses were over their posted occupancy limits. It was noted that the City would be checking and would issue a citation if a business were found to be over the approved limit. It was also noted that ABC was involved in following up on some complaints in the downtown area. • • There were also a few other items that were discussed including banners, sidewalk signs, unauthorized items in the encroachment areas and other CUP compliance issues. Staff will, as a matter of course, follow-up on these issues. This follow-up will include checking occupancy during busy times, both on a complaint basis as well as an area wide check. In addition, we will review the CUPs and encroachment permits to ensure that everyone is up to date. Those who are not will be given an opportunity to correct the issue. If the violation is not corrected, then either a citation would be issued or referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP violation would follow. Encroachment issues would be referred to the City Council. Respectfully submitted, Ft Step en R.

Background: An unscheduled vacancy has arisen on the Public Works Commission due to the resignation (effective February 25) of Brian Koch, who is moving out of the City due to family obligations (see attached letter). The special vacancy notice required by State law will be posted tomorrow (February 26) in the City Clerk's office and the Library, as well as in the City Hall outdoor display case. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54974, appointment to fill a special vacancy may be made 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the Clerk's office, allowing appointment to be made as early as the March 25 meeting. That Code Section further states that Council "may, if it finds that an emergency exists, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. A person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant to this section." There appears to be no emergency that requires filling the vacancy this evening. As you know, the Council appointed Brian on December 10 to fill an unexpired term. Two members of the Commission were appointed October 22, following interviews. If the Council approves the first option, a filing deadline of 6 p.m., Wednesday, March 19 is recommended for new applications. There are two applications on file from the previous recruitment, if the applicants are still interested. Those, and any new applications that may be submitted, would be considered for appointment March 25. If the Council directs the additional advertising called for in the second option, a notice inviting applications will be published twice (March 6 and 13) in the Easy Reader, with a 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 2 deadline for submitting applications, which would allow for appointment at the April 14 meeting at the earliest, if interviews were scheduled for that evening prior to the regular meeting.

The majority of those who attended the event were local residents who walked down ` from their homes to enjoy a time with neighbors and friends. _ "We've come down here the last couple of years, and it's great to see your neighbors and friends all spending time in downtown," said Jared. Everheart, a resident. "We have friends from New York City visiting us and they describe this event as a smaller version of the party in Times Square.
