(not parks and other such undeveloped areas) THESE CODES SPECIFY REQUIREMENTS ONLY, AND NOT CONSTRUCTION DESIGNS OR MATERIALS, WHICH THEY SPECIFY MUST BE "IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICE". AND B) Related complaints against City Manager Steve Burrell and Community Development Direct (Building Dept. Manager) Sol Blumenfeld, which have never been addressed, but which I will address at another time, SOON. What should be clear to all of you now is that the REAL issues I placed before you were not the "Retaining Wall" and property earth "Grading" issues, but rather whether City Management staff were willfully and arrogantly abusing pubiic trust and authority placed in them by the State and City to exercise that authority in the public interest to enforce these State Laws passed for health and safety of the public and property. I am here today to specifically request that the City Council itself fulfill its obligation and duty, being our elected Representatives, to affirm and justify our trust in you to abide by State Law as it relates to a particular REQUIREMENT of the CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, WHICH I AM CONFIDENT WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO YOU (AS IT WAS RECENTLY FOR MYSELF AND COUNCILMEN SAM EDGERTON AND ART YOON). Specifically (and I quote): x • CITY COUNCIL MEETING 8/12/03 REQUEST FOR REVIEW REGARDING 23 JULY 2002 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND DECISION PERTAINING TO RETAINING WALL AND EARTH GRADING AND FILL REQUIREMENTS SECTION 105: BOARD OF APPEALS 8/11/03 "IN ORDER TO HEAR AND DECIDE APPEALS OF ORDERS, DECISIONS OR DETERMINATIONS MADE BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL RELATIVE TO THE APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS CODE, THERE SHALL BE AND IS HEREBY CREATED A BOARD OF APPEALS CONSISTING OF MEMBERS WHO ARE QUALIFIED BY EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING TO PASS ON MATTERS PERTAINING TO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF THE JURISDICTION. THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL BE AN EX OFFICIO MEMBER OF AND SHALL ACT AS SECRETARY TO SAID BOARD, BUT SHALL HAVE NO VOTE ON ANY MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD. THE BOARD OF APPEALS SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNING BODY AND SHALL HOLD OFFICE AT ITS PLEASURE. THE BOARD SHALL ADOPT RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING ITS BUSINESS, AND SHALL RENDER ALL DECISIONS AND FINDINGS IN WRITING TO THE APPELLANT WITH A DUPLICATE COPY TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL." It is clear from the above cited provision/requirement in California Law that (with the exception of complaints against City employees) a City Council meeting was NOT the proper forum for the legal Building Code issues placed before it. I have not only just recently been apprised (by neighboring cities) of the existence of the State Law requirement for such a "Board of Appeals" for Building Code requirements, ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICE", and enforcement issues, but I have also discovered its Hermosa Beach existence and membership (attached). In speaking with them it came as no surprise that they hadn't been called in session for years to address such matters, which explains why their existence, membership, and function are virtually unknown not only by the public, but also members of the City Council. AS SUCH, I AM AT THIS TIME FORMALLY REQUESTING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL EITHER (A) REFER MY ISSUES NOW TO THE CITY "BOARD OF APPEALS" FOR EVALUATION AND RESOLUTION OR (B) PLACE THIS REQUEST ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FOR DECISION AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Although known to both City Manager Steve Burrell and Building Dept. Manager Sol Blumenfeld, neither I nor the City Council were aware or apprised of this, NOR DID BURRELL OR BLUMENFELD REFER THE MATTER TO THIS "BOARD OF APPEALS" for evaluation and decision AS MANDATED BY STATE LAW. THEREFORE, I believe it's clear that THEY DELIBERATELY WITHHELD THIS INFORMATION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE COUNCIL'S LACK OF THE MANDATED REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS, specifically "EXPERIENCE" AND "TRAINING" including knowledge of. the "CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE (HSC)" AND THE "CALIFORNIA BUILDING (STANDARDS) CODE" (and, as specified and required therein) implementation OF "ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICE"). I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THEY DID SO to cover up their prior activities by taking advantage of the City Council's part-time nature and consequential RELIANCE on City management staff, being PUBLIC SERVANTS, to be 2 a • • CITY COUNCIL MEETING 8/12/03 REQUEST FOR REVIEW REGARDING 23 JULY 2002 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND DECISION PERTAINING TO RETAINING WALL AND EARTH GRADING AND FILL REQUIREMENTS Competent Ethical Honest and Forthright 8/11/03 and committed to justifying the public TRUST placed in them to perform their job duties and obligations to act in the public interest to enforce City and State laws, codes, and ordinances. Instead, by not referring the issues to the proper forum, namely the Hermosa Beach "BOARD OF APPEALS", "CONSISTING OF MEMBERS WHO ARE " 1) "QUALIFIED BY EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING TO PASS ON MATTERS PERTAINING TO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION", AND 2) "WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF THE JURISDICTION", or even appr'.sing the City Council of this REQUIREMENT mandated by California Law, believe they were again attemptirig to obscure their activities and lead the City Council into making the wrong decision based on false and incomplete information including a "Legal Opinion" by the City Attorney that has no basis whatsoever in Law or fact regarding the issues before the City Council. I believe that they did this because they have gotten away with it before, and believed that they would do so again; however, they continue to underestimate my resolve. I am retired and therefore not like most people who have limited time due to work and family obligations, and who get frustrated by being intimidated and given the run- around by City staff, and the significant time and effort required to get issues before and resolved by the City Council.) FURTHERMORE, BY NOT FOLLOWING STATE LAW AND REFERRING MY ISSUES TO THE PROPER FORUM FOR RESOLUTION, NAMELY THE CITY "BOARD OF APPEALS", STEVE AND SOL NOT ONLY WASTED THE CITY COUNCIL'S TIME AND EFFORTS, BUT ALSO CAUSED THE CITY TO SPEND SUBSTANTIAL UNWARRANTED FUNDS ON CITY ATTORNEY JENKINS' UNRESPONSIVE AND IRRELEVANT "REPORT", AND AN EVALUATION AND REPORT BY A "CONSULTANT" (WHO WAS NOT INDEPENDENT BECAUSE HE IS REFERRED WORK FOR THE CITY BY SOL BLUMENFELD) AND WHICH, IF READ CAREFULLY, DOES NOT ADDRESS THE "CODE" ISSUES AND INDEED CONFIRMS MY CONTENTIONS. I RECORDED THIS CITY COUNCIL SESSION WHERE, WHEN ASKED HOW MUCH FUNDS AND EFFORTS WERE EXPENDED, STAFF RESPONDED THAT MORE THAN ON ANYTHING ELSE LIKE IT IN THE PAST! (COPIES OF THIS SESSION HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO SAM AND ART, AND ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.) 3 1. • • CITY COUNCIL MEETING 8/12/03 REQUEST FOR REVIEW REGARDING 23 JULY 2002 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND DECISION PERTAINING TO RETAINING WALL AND EARTH GRADING AND FILL REQUIREMENTS 8/11/03 It has only been recently, within the past year, after the expending of significant time and effort by Councilmen Sam Edgerton and Art Yoon, and Pete Tucker, in attempting to resolve various issues including My Building Code enforcement issues, and Complaints against City Management Staff and The Comedy and Magic Club that their involvement has led them to also have serious concerns with regard to City Management Staff regarding competence, ethics and credibility issues, and improprieties and abuse of the Trust placed with them by the public and the City Council. THEREFORE, 1) I urge the City Council, in accordance with (and mandated by) State Law, to justify the trust placed in them to fulfill their obligations as our elected representatives, and refer my issues to the appropriate forum, namely the Building Code enforcement Board of Appeals (where it should have gone in the first place). 2) I furthermore strongly urge the other members of the City council to take the time to listen to Mike Lacy's recorded tape of the meeting Sun. Feb. 2, where it was clear to Councilmen Sam Edgerton and Art Yoon, Pete Tucker, and others present that the were being LIED TO by City Management Staff. (As Councilman Edgerton, who conducted the meeting, said afterwards: "THEY WALKED RIGHT INTO IT!) The Comedy and Magic Club was almost RUN OUT OF BUSINESS AND OUT OF TOWN after over 2 years of being harassed and intimidated by City management and Staff. WE HAVE COUNCILMEN SAM EDGERTON AND ART YOON, AND OTHERS TO THANK THAT THIS WAS STOPPED AT THE LAST MINUTE! 3) I also suggest that the other City Council members speak with Sam Edgerton and Art Yoon regarding a meeting on March 26 with them, myself, and Steve Burrell and Sol Blumenfeld wherein: - Applicable sections of the California Building Code and Health and Safety Code were addressed - When confronted with those sections that prohibit construction that results in water flowing from one property to another, rather than conducted to the street, (contrary to City Attorney Jenkins' claims in his "Report), construction drawings/specifications from neighboring cities (including L.A.) which illustrate "ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICE" (as specified and required by California Code/Law), Sol Blumenfeld confirmed that he was aware of these requirements, and indeed reaffirmed my contentions by reading them aloud from his own cop/. 4 i • CITY COUNCIL MEETING 8/12/03 REQUEST FOR REVIEW REGARDING 23 JULY 2002 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND DECISION PERTAINING TO RETAINING WALL AND EARTH GRADING AND FILL REQUIREMENTS 8/11/03 - Having been confronted with these Code requirements, photos, other documents, and inspections by Sam, Art, and Pete Tucker, Sol Blumenfeld conceded and agreed to take remedial measures. HOWEVER, TO THIS DAY, SOL CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO ABIDE BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS EVIDENCED BY HIS JUNE 30 LETTER TO ME (WITH COPIES TO YOU ALL), WHEREIN HE FURTHER EVIDENCES THE ILLEGAL CONDITION WITH PHOTOS, YET CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO TAKE THE AGREED UPON REMEDIAL MEASURES AND REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. 4) In addition to the above, I highly recommend that you all speak with Art Yoon regarding his public meetings on Monday evenings, and the significant number of complaints he receives from Hermosa residents regarding their treatment by the Building Department.

The referenced provisions of California Law are attached for your additional information. APPUCABILITY: The applicability of Ca:iiornia Building Standards to all qcq pan ieS1 is dearly identified in the alifomia Health and Safe Code HSC by both Building Standards Law2, and by the State Housing Law. It is the California Building Standards Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (CCR, T-24), incorporating the latest editions of the model codes, that applies in all parts of California, not the model codes. You should also be, aware that the Department of Housing and Commuflity (- Development icwislition to the building standards containe in - as adopted regulations implementing the State Housing Law in the California code of Regulations Title 25; Division 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 1 (OCR, T-25), for residential structures -ce-- subject to their jurisdiction. These regulations, California Building 'gtandards, and the requirements of the State Housing Law, are also applicable in all parts of the State? LOCAL GOVERNMENT AMENDMENTS: Local governments may amend the building standards contained in CCR, T-24 for all oQcupancies, and the regulations of the Department of Housing and Community Development applicable tol structures. The provisions of law that permit these local government amen ments contain subtle differences. 1 The term 'occupancy' as used In tie California Building Standards Code is too method of class all buWdfngs and structures. 2 MSC § 18938 (b), '...to all occupancies throughout the state..

Local Government Amendments Under the State Housing Law; The State Housing Law provides for amendment of building standards related to residential construction and for amendment of CCR, T-25. • The governing body of the local government must make an express finding that amendments to either the building standards for residential construction contained in CCR, T-24, or the regulations of the Department of Housing and Community Development contained in CCR, T-25, are necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.? There is an exception in CCR, T-25, § 52 to the requirement f°T an express finding where alternate abatement procedures are determined by the local enforcement agency to be the equivalent of those contained in CCR, T-25. • Unlike Building Standards Law, there is no specific requirement in the State Housing Law that local government amendments provide either more restrictive building standards than those contained in CCR, T-24, or more restrictive regulations than those contained in CCR, T-257 • The amendments are neither effective nor operative until copies of both the express findings and the amendments, with the amendments expressly marked and identified as to the applicable findings, have been filed with the California Building Standards Commission.' 4 HSC, § 18941.5 s HSC, §§ 18941.5 and 17958,7 HSC, 17958.7 7 HSC, §§ 17958, 17958.5 and 1/958.7 • JUN 25 2002 10:19 FR CBSC 916 263 0959 TO 83103769060 P.04/12 • • Local Government Amendments Under the Fire Protection District Law of 1961: Local government amendments to building standards of the State Fire Marshal for fire' and panic safety are permitted under this provision of California Law for fire protection districts organized under HSC, Division 12, Part 2.7. Again, there. are differences in how these amendments are implemented. • The "governing body" shall be deemed to be the district board and the district shall be deemed to be the local agency.' • The district board must make an express finding that amendments to building standards for fire and panic safety that are contained in CCR, T-24 are necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.8 • The district is required to notify the city, county, or city and county where the amendments will apply of the proposed amendments, and receive their comments.5 • Upon adoption, the amendments are required to be presented for ratification to the city, county, or city and county where it will apply .° • The amendment is neither effective nor operative until copies of both the express findings and the amendments, with the amendments expressly marked and identified as to the applicable findings, have been filed with the Califomia Building Standards Commission by the city. county. or city and county where it will i pplya along with the adopting ordinance and any findings of the city. county. or city and county.9 Local Government Adoption of California Building Standards by Ordinance: • California Building Standards are applicable to all sysfaxago throughout California, whether., or_ not the local _gov_prnment takes_.aa...e_ffinative action to edopt_those California Building Standards.' • The State Housing Law requires local building department enforcement of the Law, building standards; and implementing regulations of the Department of Housing and Community Development for residential structures." • Local governments should work closely with counsel to develop adopting ordinances12 for California Building Standards, develop express findings for any 8 HSC, 5 13889.7 HSC, §§ 138891, 17958.7 and 18941.5 (b) NOTE: HSC. § 17958.7 was amended by Chapter 645 of the 1997 Statutes to provide at the required filings be with the California Bending Standards Commission, notwhhstanding the reference In HSC, § 13889.7 that flings be with the Depertnentot Housing and Comrnunity Devebpment. 10 HSC, §S 17950 and 18938 (b) 11 HSC. § 17980 12 GC. § 50020. et seq.

No express findings will be deemed to have been submitted under the following circumstances: • There are, in fact, no express findings submitted with the proposed amendments. • The proposed amendments are not expressly marked and identified as to the applicable express findings. • There is no evidence by signatures or the certification of the city/county clerk that the express findings were a lawful action of the governing body of the local jurisdiction.

Page 1 of 1 WARiTtlEST OF !til DING AND SAFETY °INFORMATION BULLETIN / P • IC - BUILDING CODE REFERENCE NO.: LAMC 91.0102 Effective: 8-13-93 DOCUMENT NO. P/BC 2001-57 Revised: 8-04-00 Previously Issued As: MGD #102 DRAINAGE ACROSS LOT/PROPERTY LINE As specified in Sec. 91.0102 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, the purpose of the Building Code is to safeguard life, limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location and maintenance of all buildings and structures erected or to be erected within the city, and by regulating certain grading operations within the city. Division 70 of the Building Code (Article I, Chapter IX of the LAMC) does not provide any standards on dealing with cross -lot drainage. To ensure uniformity in the Departments interpretation and application of drainage regulations, the following guidelines are established. These are consistent with provisions in the State Code and decisions rendered in court cases involving cross -lot drainage. The Building Code Sec. 7013.9 requires roof drainage from new construction and site drainage from graded pads to be conducted to the street or to an approved drainage device succi as storm d ain easement or natural watercourse. The State Code allows the owner of an upper lot to discharge surface water from his/her land as the water naturally flows. However, he/she shall not interfere with surface water and cause it to be discharged onto neighboring lands in greater quantity, or in a different manner than would occur under natural conditions. A change in drainage pattern on upper lots due to new construction, additions, or remodeling does not require a departmental administrative approval if the amount of water draining through adjacent lots after the completion of construction will not exceed that under natural conditions. In addition, the pattern of drainage across property lines shall remain unchanged. The use of dispersal walls to convert concentrated drainage, as a result of new construction or alteration, back to sheetfiow under natural conditions requires a departmental administrative approval. A drainage easement from adjoining property owners is required whenever drainage crossing lot line involves more water than or a different drainage pattern from that under natural conditions. • Whenever a project involves cross -lot drainage, a licensed survey map shall be provided to show the drainage pattern of the subject and relevant adjoining lots and the presence of any property line walls. The presence of arty construction that blocks the natural drainage pattern shall be cause for non -issuance of building permits unless all drainage is designed to be diverted to the street. • Plans showing department approved cross -lot drainage shall be microfilmed. The owner of a lower lot shall not dam up drainage from the upper lot so that water which normally flows to the tower property under the natural drainage conditions is diverted onto other neighboring lots. In the event such drainage is blocked by lower lot owners, the upper property owner should notify the Department for enforcement. As a covered entity under Title II of the Americana with Disabilities Act, the City of las Angeles does not discriminate on the basted disability and, upon request. will provide reasonable accommodation to ensure equal access to its programa, services and activities.

NBC 2001-83 Revised: Previously Issued As: None RETAINING WALL DESIGN This information bulletin provides a simplified alternate method of design for retaining walls. L.A.M.C. Section 91.1611.6 covers the design of retaining walls as follows: "Retaining walls shall be designed to resist Toads due to the lateral earth pressure of retained material in accordance with accepted engineering practice. Walls retaining. drained soil, where the surface of the retained soil is level, shall be designed fora load, H, equivalent to that exerted by a fluid weighing not less than 30 psf per foot of depth (4.71 kN/m2/m) and having a depth equal to that of the retained soil. Any surcharge shall be in addition to the equivalent fluid pressure. Retaining walls shall be designed to resist sliding by at least 1.5 times the lateral force and overturning by at least 1.5 times the overturning moment, using allowable stress design loads." This information bulletin is written to address the following three items which are not found in the code. 1. Design equivalent fluid pressures for retaining walls supporting other than level retained soils. 2. Methods of determining surcharge loads on walls. 3. Design criteria for retaining walls. Alternate design requirements may be accepted in conjunction with a soil and/or geology report approved by the Department. I. GENERAL REQUIREMENT Retaining walls shall be designed to resist the earth lateral pressure of the retained material determined in accordance with accepted engineering principles. The soil characteristics and design criteria necessary for such a determination shall be obtained through investigation, subsurface exploration, analyses and report by a soils engineer, subject to the department's approval. EXCEPTION: Freestanding walls which are not over 15 feet (4572 mm) in height, or basement walls which have spans of 15 feet (4572 mm) or less between supports, and which are not affected by any adverse geologic condition and which are not supporting uncertified fill, may be designed in accordance with these requirements stipulated in this information bulletin. All retaining walls shall be provided with a subdrainage tystem to prevent possible hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining wall. The subdrainage system may consist of weep holes or approved 4 -inch Asa covered endly under TUN II of du Americans s with Di0lltias Act, the City of Los Angeles doss not discriminate on Uts base of dleebikty and, upon request, *11 provide reasonable e000mmodatlon to ensue equal somas to Its programa, services end ad1Nttsw For effiolent handling of iMormsUon krlemdy and in the Internet conversion to this new format of Dods related and administrative Information budletk» including MGD and ROA that were prev$oui y leveed will also allow MrdbMy and timely distribution of in?amrtlon to the pubtic.

MINUTES The meeting was called to order at 7:11 pm. 1. Roll Call Present: Commissioners Applebaum, Beste, Cheatham, Lombardo, Winnek. Also Present: Richard Morgan, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Michael Flaherty, Public Works Superintendent Rhea Punneo, Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department Absent: None 2. Flaq Salute Commissioner Cheatham led the flag salute. 3. Approval of Minutes The minutes of the June 18, 2003 meeting were approved as written. 4. Public Comments None. 5. Correspondence None. 6. Items for Commission Consideration a. Request for the Exemption of the South Side of 29`h Street from the Sidewalk Requirement Mr. Morgan presented the item, which included copies of petition letters signed by the owners of property on the South side of 29th Street and pictures of homes with encroachments on 29th Street. Mr. Morgan stated that new single family, new commercial, or 400 ft of additional remodel owners are required per code to construct a sidewalk, and curb gutter. Several streets in Hermosa have previously received exemption from this requirement by resolution. This is a one-way street with no access from Valley Drive and low traffic volume. In 2000, the north side was granted exemption from the sidewalk requirement. The south side was not included in that petition. 2h 3 Considering public silky, the street could be unsafe for pedcans. Sidewalks prevent curb encroachment and provide an area for car doors to open. Staff's recommendation was to deny the request. Discussion among the Commissioners and staff highlighted the following: ■ There is one development permit being considered at this time that would require a sidewalk on the south side of 29th Street. • No safety issues or complaints from residents have been reported on the south side of which staff is aware. • Council meeting minutes on this matter aren't clear as to why the request for exemption for the north side of 29th was granted other than that the residents wanted it. • Mr. Flaherty stated the sewer is located on the north side of the street. He added that there have been sewer route problems in the past. ■ The south side of 29th St. was not included in the original exemption request. Commissioner Beste arrived at 7:24 p.m. Public comments included the following: Glen West, 420 29th St. Mr. West stated that this is a very quiet one-way street with limited access. Twelve kids live on this block and he feels they are safe when they play out front. He's concerned that a sidewalk would take away a large portion of his yard — approximately 25%. Right now they have 3' in front of their picket fence, which he believes is more than enough room for folks to open their vehicle doors. He added there are many renters on this block and that the property owners won't be selling any time soon. He noted that there is a Tight pole near his house and asked what would happen to the pole if he's required to put in the sidewalk. His contractor quoted $4,400 to put in the sidewalk, a hefty amount, in his opinion, to make him meet the City's requirements. He also noted that he wants to save the "feel of the neighborhood." He stated that he's not thrilled about "unfunded mandates." Carl Swanberq, 425 29th St. Mr. Swanberg stated that he lives across the street from Mr. West. He said that two properties at the east end of the street have put in sidewalks and they aren't that wonderful to look at. He feels that he'd rather see roses and greenery lining their street. He also stated that he initiated the request for the exemption of the north side of 29th Street. He added that the Council said that if all the residents didn't want sidewalks, they wouldn't force the property owners to put them in. Commissioner Cheatham asked why the south side wasn't included in the original request and Mr. Swanberg responded with an apology to those representing the south side of the street, noting that in retrospect, he should have done so. Mr. Swanberg went on to note that this is a very low traffic street. PWC Minutes 2 July 16, 2003 Brad Smith. 445 29t • Mr. Smith lives at 445 29th and owns rental property on the south side. He is in support of not adding sidewalks to 29th Street. He feels that his ficus tree could be adding problems to the sewer lines. He also has a problem with the sidewalk width requirement. He noted that what the residents have now works fine for them and asked why concrete should be put in since it wouldn't be used. If safety is an issue, wouldn't they, the parents, be concerned? If they thought the current situation was dangerous, they'd be requesting the sidewalk be put in. He stated that he believes the feeling on the street is that the state is mandating more ADA compliance and that the City is extorting funds for this purpose. In closing he added that they already have sidewalks, they just aren't 5 feet wide. Brad Levin, 436 29th St. Mr. Levin lives at 436 29th Street and has rental property across the street. He has 2 kids and they play with the neighborhood kids. The residents treat the block as a walk street: If it were looked at closely, people would see that there is no need to develop the area — the property owners will not be changing the nature of what they've developed. Reducing the size of their front yards would force the kids to play in the street. Most property owners have created a sort of pathway where the property meets the street. Mr. Levin went on to note that both his properties were over fifty years old and that he wants to keep the character of the street unchanged. If people need to drive or walk in the area, the alley will be "plenty wide" once the construction there has been completed. Eric Zimmerman, 2818 Ingleside Mr. Zimmerman stated that he'd be echoing all that's been said so far. He noted that he and his wife chose this area for its character and adding sidewalks will detract from that character. He added that about half the structures are duplexes and they probably would not be changed. What would happen would be a hodgepodge effect. He also said that what they have now is like a cul-de-sac since there is no access from Valley Drive. Robert Woody, 430 29th St. Mr. Woody stated he owns the property at 430 29th St., which he now rents out. He did live there for 12 years and supports Mr. West's request for exemption for the south side of 29th Street. He has always enjoyed the rural feel of the street and said he believes he won't ever sell this property. Discussion among the Commissioners and staff highlighted the following: • Commissioner Winnek noted how difficult this is as the Commission has been asked to support uniformity throughout the City. • The federal government mandates ADA compliance. • 444 and 446 29th St. would also receive the exemption. • 21st Street was the first street Commission recommended be exempt to this requirement. • Vacation of the area had not yet been considered since the sewer line is under the north side of the street. • Since the City is not maintaining this portion of the public right-of-way, the liability should be on the property owner. PWC Minutes 3 July 16, 2003 • The City doeet own the gas or water utilities. • The sewer line is under the north side of the street. • There is the concern that more groups will request sidewalk exemptions. • Commissioner Winnek wanted an agreement with residents that they not pursue encroachments for a certain number of feet. • The street already has curbs and gutters, so street sweeping is a non -issue. • Commissioner Beste recommended vacation by City from a liability standpoint. MOTION by Commissioner Lombardo to support the residents' request for the exemption of the south side of 29th Street, between Ingleside Drive and Morningside Drive, from the sidewalk requirement of SUBSECTION (b) OF SECTION 12.08.010 GENERAL REQUIREMENT OF CHAPTER 12.08 STREET, SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE. Seconded by Commissioner Winnek. Ayes: Applebaum, Beste, Cheatham, Lombardo, Winnek Nays: None Abstain: None Absent: None Motion passed. b. Request for Speed Humps on Loma Drive between 6th Street and end of Street Mr. Morgan presented the staff report noting that this portion of Loma Drive is not eligible for a speed hump primarily due to the length of the street and the fact that it is a cul-de-sac. A speed survey of the block of Loma Drive between 6th and 7th Street indicated that the 85th percentile of traffic is traveling at a speed of 15.7 mph and the top speed is 20 mph. While this is a longer stretch than the area in question, it is a good indication of the speed on Loma Drive. Staff does not feel speed humps would be effective at the end of Loma Drive and that the residents may only be getting the perception that cars are speeding. This has proven to be the fact in other situations. Comments among Commissioners and staff highlighted the following: • There is an entrance to South Park at the end of Loma Drive. • Traffic regularly enters and leaves the park parking area. • It cost the City $3,000 each when 3 speed humps were installed. Cost for one hump would probably be under $5,000. • No accidents have been recorded for this area. Public comments included the following: Frances Parker, 5211/2 Loma Drive This street is the only entrance to the upper parking area of South School. During the school year every space is taken by after school staff. Parents park where there are no parking spaces. At night there are people around all evening. Loma has no sidewalks and lots of children. Many nannies are walking kids and can't avoid cars speeding at this end of the street. It's the busiest PWC Minutes 4 July 16, 2003 cul-de-sac anyone's Or seen. She feels the roadway isn't wSenough for two cars to pass each other. Ms. Parker went on to add that there have been many near -collisions — drivers pull into residents' driveways to avoid hitting other cars. Since people are unable to see down into the parking lot, many pull in then have to leave — using the only entrance/exit available. The gate has been removed. She said she believes speed humps could increase drivers' awareness of the speed at which they were traveling. In addition, she suggested that the speed hump could be added during the paving of Loma Drive. She stated that her fear is that a frustrated person will come barreling down the street and hit someone or something — someone's child or pet. Joanna Edwards 526 Loma Drive Ms. Edwards said that Loma Drive is different from most cul-de sacs due to the volume of traffic going into the park. In fact, she doesn't believe it is a cul-de-sac at all because of the driveway into the park. She said she believes the comparison between Loma between 6th and 7th Streets and the portion under discussion can't be done. Said you can't compare one section of Loma with another. The sharp corner at the park entrance makes it much more difficult to see and people don't realize what's coming. There have been many near misses. She added that she'd hate to see an accident where a child is hurt or killed; they're looking to prevent such an occurrence. Discussion among the commissioners and staff highlighted the following: • Perhaps staff could come up with an alternative since this area does not meet the speed hump criteria • A stop sign at the park access point was suggested. • The speed hump will have no effect while a stop sign might for the visual deterrent factor with periodic enforcement during peak hours • Enforcement of speed laws would be more of a deterrent than a speed hump. • More concerns for the safety of children were expressed. This is a safety issue more than anything else. • Ms. Parker suggested a "NOT A THROUGH STREET" sign would be beneficial. • Mr. Morgan suggests sidewalks for safety of all on street since there will be a contractor there repaving the street it would facilitate the sidewalk construction also. • The gate was taken out for security reasons and will not be replaced. MOTION by Commissioner Applebaum to install speed humps on Loma Drive. Seconded by Commissioner Cheatham. Ayes: Applebaum, Cheatham Nays: Winnek, Lombardo, Beste Abstain: None Absent: None Motion denied. MOTION by Commissioner Winnek to deny the request for speed humps on Loma Drive and send the issue back to staff to bring it back to the Commission with other options. Commissioner Lombardo seconded the motion. PWC Minutes 5 July 16, 2003 Ayes: Applebi, Cheatham, Winnek, Lombardo, Bese Nays: None Abstain: None Absent: None Motion passed. Staff will look into other methods of improving the safety of Loma Drive and report back to the Commission. Painting SLOW may be an option and has been effective on other streets. A suggestion was to put them in the parking lot not the street. c. Proposal to Provide Parking on West Side of Valley Drive between 2nd Street and Herondo Street Mr. Morgan presented the request for the parking on Valley Drive. The residents are experiencing a parking hardship due to the improvement projects in the area. The stretch from 2nd to Herondo on Valley has two lanes and one lane could be eliminated. Investigation of the area determined that the volume there is approximately 10 cars per minute at rush hour (6:00 p.m.). This is about 10% of the total daily volume. The Traffic Engineer doesn't believe there will be any difficulty when temporarily removing one traffic lane. It will provide the needed parking spots on a temporary basis. T's and L's will be painted on the street, the existing lane striping will be painted out and delineators will be placed to aid in directing the right turns south onto Valley from 2nd Street. Parking on Herondo is metered with a two-hour limit making it unavailable for overnight parking. In the future, the Commission may want to support going to Council asking for the parking to remain and add meters in a measure to generate more revenue. Discussion among the commissioners and staff highlighted the following: • Lines on the red curb the will be 50-100 feet there to make room for turns and about 16 stalls that will placed there. • In 2 months they will be finished with the project and the spaces will be removed and they will be able to see at that time if permanent parking is needed. • It is expected there will not be a noise problem due to car doors because the travel lane closest to the apartment windows will be removed by the parking spaces thus diminishing the noise overall. • It does eliminate Valley Drive as a bargaining chip in whatever plans Redondo Beach has for the street. If the commission wanted to trade something off with Redondo Beach putting park there would take a bargaining chip away from us. MOTION: Commissioner Lombardo moves to accept staff's recommendation for temporary parking on the west side of Valley Drive between 2nd Street and Herondo Street. Commissioner Beste seconded the motion. Ayes: Applebaum, Cheatham, Winnek, Lombardo, Beste Nays: None Abstain: None Absent: None 7. Commissioners Report The Gateway Signage subcommittee was unable to meet before the Commission meeting. PWC Minutes 6 July 16, 2003 • Commissioner Cheatham stated that the newsrack subcommittee is to very close to completing their task. They will be phasing the new newsracks into the City. There will be one additional meeting on the issue and then it will be taken to Council for approval. 8. Council Agendas, Minutes- Minutes - 6/10, 6/24; Agendas - 7/8/03 Items were received and filed. 9. Items Requested by Commissioners Commissioner Lombardo asked that 5"' Street be reviewed for signage of any kind stating no trucks are permitted 'on the street. Mr. Morgan noted that there are different types of trucks delivering to the businesses on either side, many of which may not be able to park in the lots. Mr. Morgan advised he would discuss the situation with Chief Lavin and bring the information to the Commission at the next meeting. Commissioner Cheatham asked if the trench on the recently paved 21st Street was temporary and if it would be redone. Mr. Flaherty responded that the final work would be done shortly. Commissioner Cheatham said that over the weekend he'd witnessed two accidents at the intersection of 2nd Street and Hermosa Avenue. He believes this intersection is dangerous and likely to have many accidents. He spoke with a shop owner who has set up a camera to record the accidents and offer the taped account to the drivers involved. Commissioner Cheatham asked that this item be placed on the August agenda. Mr. Flaherty commented that left turns hadn't been permitted at that intersection for more than 20 years. Several years ago Council directed the removal of the "NO LEFT TURN" sign due to residents complaining about being "caught in a maze." Mr. Morgan said that he would have the intersection investigated and have a report for the August meeting. Commissioner Cheatham also asked that the 4 -way stop at Manhattan and 2nd intersection to be reviewed. Mr. Flaherty advised that the four-way stop had been installed at Council direction. Mr. Morgan said that staff would review the accident history for this location. Commissioner Applebaum requested that 5th Street the accident rates for 5th and PCH also be reviewed. The left hand turn going east on 5th Street is of particular concern as it is related to the flow of traffic. While Caltrans owns the intersection, they are open to hearing and discussing what the municipality may feel is a problem area. Mr. Morgan agreed to do accident review of the three intersections noted for the August meeting. 10. Other Matters The following items were presented out of order but are shown in this section for clarity. Mr. Morgan announced that Valley Park would be open to the public on Monday, July 21, 2003 and that the grand opening ceremonies would take place on Saturday, August 2, 2003 Commissioner Applebaum announced that Commissioner Cheatham is running for City Council and wished him well.

Morgan, P.E., Secretary Date PWC Minutes 8 July 16, 2003 • Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council • July 17, 2003 Regular Meeting of August 12, 2003 APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, EXEMPTING THE SOUTH SIDE OF 29TH STREET, BETWEEN INGLESIDE DRIVE AND MORNINGSIDE DRIVE, FROM THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT OF SUBSECTION (b) OF SECTION 12.08.010 GENERAL REQUIREMENT OF CHAPTER 12.08 STREET, SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE Recommendation: The Public Works Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, EXEMPTING THE SOUTH SIDE OF 29TH STREET, BETWEEN INGLESIDE DRIVE AND MORNINGSIDE DRIVE, FROM THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT OF SUBSECTION (b) OF SECTION 12.08.010 GENERAL REQUIREMENT OF CHAPTER 12.08 STREET, SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE ". Background: On July 2, 2003, staff received a petition from residents of 29th Street requesting that the south side of 29th Street, between Ingleside Drive and Morningside Drive, be exempt from requiring the construction of a sidewalk during a rebuild or remodel of private property. Below is a list of the reasons why they want the exemption: • The south side of the 400 block of 29th Street consists of 15 properties of which 13 houses in a row do not have a sidewalk. • The residents want to preserve the current character of the neighborhood. It should be noted that at the October 10, 2000 meeting of the City Council, the north side of 29th Street, over this same segment, was granted exemption from the sidewalk requirement. The Public Works Commission received public comment at their meeting of July 16, 2003, and voted to support the residents' request for the sidewalk exemption. Fiscal Impact: None. Attachments: 1.

As similar requests have been granted for other streets in the city of Hermosa Beach as well as the North side of 29th Street between Ingleside Drive and Morningside Drive, the residents of the South side of 29th Street between Ingleside Drive and Morningside Drive herby request an exemption to the City of Hermosa Beach's Public Works ordinance which requires the construction of a sidewalk during a rebuild or remodel. The south side of 29th Street between Ingleside Drive and Morningside Drive consists of 14 properties including the two properties that border on 29th street and Morningside and Ingleside Drive. Of those 14 properties, only one has a full size sidewalk as direct by Hermosa Beach Municipal code. The other 13 properties on the block have a mixture of grass, trees, flowers, natural stone and brick. We believe that only natural materials (i.e. flowers, grass, brick, etc.) will enhanced our neighborhood as opposed to four feet of concrete on the small space between our properties and the curb. Therefore, in order to preserve the character of our neighborhood, these residents have agreed to petition the city for an exemption. Attached please find statements of support from all of the residents located on the South side of 29th Street between Ingleside Drive and Morningside Drive. Also, we have attached a listing of each property's current landscape between the curb and property line as well as an associated photograph. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 310/379- 2032.

Re: City of Hermosa Beach sidewalk requirements Since the structures on our block were built, Hermosa Beach enacted a Municipal Code that requires all new construction and any significant remodel project to include a four -foot concrete sidewalk on the front of each property. In the year 2000, our neighbors across the street petitioned Hermosa Beach for and received an exemption from this Municipal Code. This exemption allows individual property owners to decide how to utilize their open space, which guarantees the neighborhood environment that we have all come to enjoy.

Also Present: Richard Morgan, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Michael Flaherty, Public Works Superintendent Rhea Punneo, Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department Absent: None 2. Flag Salute Commissioner Cheatham led the flag salute. 3. Approval of Minutes The minutes of the June 18, 2003 meeting were approved as written. 4. Public Comments None. 5. Correspondence None. 6. Items for Commission Consideration a. Request for the Exemption of the South Side of 29th Street from the Sidewalk Requirement Mr. Morgan presented the item, which included copies of petition letters signed by the owners of property on the South side of 29th Street and pictures of homes with encroachments on 29th Street. Mr. Morgan stated that new single family, new commercial, or 400 ft of additional remodel owners are required per code to construct a sidewalk, and curb gutter. Several streets in Hermosa have previously received exemption from this requirement by resolution. This is a one-way street with no access from Valley Drive and low traffic volume. In 2000, the north side was granted exemption from the sidewalk requirement. The south side was not included in that petition. ATTACHMENT 2 Considering public silty, the street could be unsafe for ped•ans. Sidewalks prevent curb encroachment and provide an area for car doors to open. Staff's recommendation was to deny the request. Discussion among the Commissioners and staff highlighted the following: ■ There is one development permit being considered at this time that would require a sidewalk on the south side of 29th Street. ■ No safety issues or complaints from residents have been reported on the south side of which staff is aware. • Council meeting minutes on this matter aren't clear as to why the request for exemption for the north side of 29th was granted other than that the residents wanted it. • Mr. Flaherty stated the sewer is located on the north side of the street. He added that there have been sewer route problems in the past. • The south side of 29th St. was not included in the original exemption request. Commissioner Beste arrived at 7:24 p.m. Public comments included the following: Glen West, 420 29th St. Mr. West stated that this is a very quiet one-way street with limited access. Twelve kids live on this block and he feels they are safe when they play out front. He's concerned that a sidewalk would take away a large portion of his yard — approximately 25%. Right now they have 3' in front of their picket fence, which he believes is more than enough room for folks to open their vehicle doors. He added there are many renters on this block and that the property owners won't be selling any time soon. He noted that there is a Tight pole near his house and asked what would happen to the pole if he's required to put in the sidewalk. His contractor quoted $4,400 to put in the sidewalk, a hefty amount, in his opinion, to make him meet the City's requirements. He also noted that he wants to save the "feel of the neighborhood." He stated that he's not thrilled about "unfunded mandates." Carl Swanberq, 425 29th St. Mr. Swanberg stated that he lives across the street from Mr. West. He said that two properties at the east end of the street have put in sidewalks and they aren't that wonderful to look at. He feels that he'd rather see roses and greenery lining their street. He also stated that he initiated the request for the exemption of the north side of 29th Street. He added that the Council said that if all the residents didn't want sidewalks, they wouldn't force the property owners to put them in. Commissioner Cheatham asked why the south side wasn't included in the original request and Mr. Swanberg responded with an apology to those representing the south side of the street, noting that in retrospect, he should have done so. Mr. Swanberg went on to note that this is a very low traffic street.

Summary: On June 11, 2002, the City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement with Gerson/Overstreet for the preparation of detailed plans, specifications, cost estimates and other construction documents for ADA upgrades to the Hermosa Beach Community Center Theatre. An amendment to the Professional Services Agreement is necessary to extend the Gerson/Overstreet agreement in order to increase the scope of work to include design services for exterior Community Center Theater accessibility including a handicap parking turn- out/drop-off area on Pier Avenue (Phase II). Staff recommends approval of this amendment so that construction can begin sooner, thereby avoiding a lapse in CDGB funding. By doing so, staff will be able to move on to the other phases of the Community Center facilities for ADA compliance.

Background On several occasions, the Commission and City Council have been presented with requests from citizens who wished to donate various items to the City in memoriam. With a desire to eliminate reviews on a case by case basis and to make items and recognition more equitable, Council approved a policy that would allow the Commission to pre -approve a list of potential items for donation items each calendar year.

The City reserves the right to remove any and all equipment and/or recognition markers at anytime. By establishing a policy that would have the Commission review these items annually, staff will be able to handle these requests administratively, expediting the process and providing an easier way for prospective donors to establish a meaningful memorial. This process of readiness may in -fact increase donations to the City by including annual lists in the recreation brochure so that the concept is introduced to current and future donors.

Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Approve the attached Resolution adopting the revised 2000 Housing Element Update and an Environmental Negative Declaration. 2. Direct staff to submit the document for certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Background: After 2 '/2 years of on-going discussions, revisions, correspondence and review by the State, the City has finally received preliminary approval of the 2000 Housing Element Update. In October and November, 2000 the Planning Commission conducted two public hearings and recommended adoption of the draft Housing Element Update, and in December, 2000 the City Council directed staff to submit the draft document to the HCD for review. The draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD in January 2001, and the City received its first set of comments and recommended revisions in July 2001. Staff reported the comments and proposed response to the City Council in September, 2001 and the Council directed staff to submit the revisions to HCD. Since that time, the City's consultant and City staff have revised the document three more times to address these initial and subsequent commentary received from HCD over the past two years. On June 26, 2003, HCD determined that the City's latest revisions have brought the Housing Element Update into compliance with State Law, and indicated that it will certify the City's Housing Element upon final adoption of the revised document by the City Council. The City basically argued in the Housing Element Update, that it is among the most densely developed cities in Southern California and that it will work to promote the maintenance and preservation of the housing stock and utilize existing zoning to meet regional housing objectives. The State mandates that each local jurisdiction prepare and update the Housing Element of the General Plan. The Housing Element is the only general plan element that is mandated to be updated every five years, and the only element that must be reviewed by a State Agency prior to adoption pursuant to Section 65581 of the Government Code Analysis: As reported in September 2001 to City Council, the comments from the State required several revisions to the original draft involving more description of programs and processes and the quantification of units constructed or to be constructed during the planning period, particularly in the higher density, R-3 zoned areas of the City.2 The City responded to these comments in a second draft submittal. HCD's response was to request further analysis and quantification of housing units constructed and additional programs to address affordable housing needs primarily • relating to meeting the RHNA affordable housing requirement. The City's third and final response included the following: • Revision in the quantification of the number of units constructed. Table 3-2 now clearly shows that the City has met its total construction need due to housing development that has already occurred in the last 3-5 years, and shows that the only unmet need is in the categories of very low, low, and moderate income. This condition results from the high level of building activity in the City and the fact that market rate housing and the costs of construction in the South Bay far exceed the income limits for affordable housing. (Please see attached housing affordability table). The Housing Objectives section (Table 3-6) was modified to include an objective to satisfy the unmet affordable housing need through development in existing high density residential zones (R-3 and R -P) and in the C-1 zone. No rezoning and no new zones are proposed in the Housing Element Update. The additional housing in these income categories is a simply a goal based on the total new housing that may potentially be developed in these existing zones.3 • Addition or refinement of the following housing programs in Section 4 of the Housing Element to assist the private sector in the development of affordable housing and provide implementation timelines for each program: 1. Section 4.3.1 Development Bonus Program — The City will advertise through web site and brochure the existing State mandated density bonus program. Implementation timeline — ongoing and through 2005. 2. Section 4.3.2 Housing Sites Database Program — The City will bi-annually update its land use database to reflect continuing changes in land use and development and provide a copy of the database at the public counter of the Community Development Department for public review. Implementation timeline - ongoing and updated to 2005. 3. Section 4.3.6 Developer Consultation Program — The City will promote existing housing development opportunities of the Affordable Housing Bonus Program, the Second Unit Program and the Housing Database Program. Implementation timeline — ongoing through 2005. 4. Section 4.3.9 Residential Commercial Development Program — The City will continue to allow new infill housing involving legal non -conforming parcels on a case by case basis through Planning Commission approval to conserve or add housing where it is appropriate.4 5. Section 4.3.10 Affordable Housing Outreach Program - The City will investigate potential funding sources to assist development or provision of affordable housing for residents in the City, such as Section 8 rental vouchers and post the information in the Community Center and in City Hall, the library and the web site. Implementation timeline - ongoing. 6. Section 4.3.11 Affordable high-density projects in the R-3, R -P and C-1 zones - The City simply included C-1 commercially zoned property in the site analysis where such development is already permissible and calculated the number of potential affordable units that can be developed on these sites. Concurrent plan review for projects in the R- 3, R -P and C-1 zones was also offered as a new program to help expedite project developments in these zones. Implementation timeline - January 2004. • Based on the City's final response of May 1, 2003, HCD is now satisfied that the Element will be in full compliance with State housing element law, when adopted with all revisions. Concur: Blumenfe •, D ector Community velopment Department Stephe i ' Burrell, City Manager Notes: obertson, Senior Planner 1. Hermosa Beach was allocated 332 housing units for development over the five-year planning period (1998-2005) through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) program administered by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), including a percentage of those units to be for low and moderate income households. The Housing Element Update incorporates policies, quantified objectives and programs to meet the housing allocations identified by the State and SCAG. 2. The comments and revisions involved: expansion of the programs and program summary; clarification of housing units constructed during the planning period; more complete inventory of suitable sites for residential development, including specific identification of vacant or underutilized sites; explanation of how the City will facilitate development of vacant and under-utilized sites including development of non -residentially zoned sites; description of how the City high-density zones facilitate the development of affordable housing; quantification of the number of housing units by income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, conserved in the planning period; more thoroughly describe the City's plan approval process and describe how it facilitates the construction objectives of the element, and provide programs to address governmental constraints; more definitive programs with implementation timelines which assist in the development of low and moderate income housing. 3. The maximum number of potential housing units is as follows: C-1: 41 units, RP: 20 units, R-3: 237 units. 4. The Code currently requires that a non -conforming project must be approved by the Planning Commission with limitations on the amount of development permitted. Such projects may be nonconforming to use, parking or some other development standard. If necessary, the City may enact more restrictive standards for parking for legal nonconforming residential projects in the commercial zones to minimize concerns regarding substandard parking in a parking impacted area Attachments 1. 2000 Housing Element Update — Final w/ selected appendices 2.

DEV. DEPT. RE: Review of the City of Hermosa Beach's Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting revisions to Hermosa Beach's housing element, received for our review on May 6, 2003, along with additional revisions dated May 14, 2002 and July 9, 2002, received via facsimile transmission. In accordance with Government Code Section 65585(b), the Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) is required to review draft housing elements and report our findings to the locality. A series of phone calls beginning in January 2003 with you, Messrs. Steve Burrell, City Manager, Ken Robertson, Senior Planner, and Mark Blodgett, Consultant, helped facilitate the review. We are pleased to find the submitted revisions, address the statutory requirements described in the Department's February 1, 2002 review letter. We commend Hermosa Beach for strengthening its programmatic commitment to more efficiently utilize all available land, specifically the underutilized R-3, R -P, and C-1 zoned sites referenced in the new "Affordable High Density Projects" Program (4.3.11). Effective and successful implementation of this and other housing assistance programs as listed in the draft element (Chapter 4) will increase the City's ability to accommodate its remaining new construction need of 78 units for lower- and moderate -income households (Table 3-2). The element will be in full compliance with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of Government Code) when adopted (with all revisions) and submitted to this Department for review pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(g). Hermosa Beach's housing element now reflects a stronger commitment to accommodate the housing needs of its residents and overcome the numerous development challenges and obstacles that face many coastal communities in Southern California. The City should use the requisite general plan implementation reporting process (pursuant to Government Code Section 65400) to conduct an evaluation of its programs and corresponding actions. These reports are required to be completed and submitted to the local legislative body and the Department by October 1St of each year. We appreciate the insight and cooperation that you and your staff provided during the course of our review, and look forward to receiving the City's adopted housing element. If you have any additional questions, please contact Don Thomas, of our staff, at (916) 445-5854.

The first Housing Element was prepared in 1979 as part of the Citywide General Plan Update. In 1984, the Housing Element was again updated and included new policies and programs. Finally, the most recent Housing Element update, prior to this current update, occurred in the early 1990s. This current Housing Element update revisits the previous housing policy and evaluates the effectiveness of past programs that were designed to conserve, rehabilitate, and produce new housing in the City. Over the past several decades, the State Legislature has placed increased attention on housing -related issues in California due to the State's significant population growth and the attendant impacts this growth has had on housing supply and demand. The population growth that has occurred in recent years has placed increased demands for new housing, especially affordable housing. California, in general, and Southern California in particular, are among the fastest-growing regions in the country. At the same time, the cost for housing is considerably higher than that for other areas of the nation. The cost for housing in Hermosa Beach is greater still, due to the City's location in close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Primary Purpose of the Housing Element The primary purpose of this Housing Element is to identify local housing needs and to implement those measures necessary to mitigate and alleviate these needs and problems for all economic segments of the community. Another key objective of this Housing Element is to contribute to meeting the State's housing goal as stated below: "The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, andthe early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order. "(Government Code Section 65581) All local governments are required to prepare long-range master plans (referred to as general plans) to consider those issues germane to the planning for future development, including land use, transportation, housing, health and safety, open space, and natural resources. In 1967, the housing element became the third mandated general plan element, and during the ensuing years, numerous revisions were made to the regulations governing the scope and content of housing elements. State law is now very specific concerning the scope and content of housing elements.]-'> The State Legislature understands the important role that local housing elements play in the implementation of statewide goals designed to promote the development of decent and suitable housing for all persons. The State Legislature also recognizes the importance of providing affordable housing to those households with low or moderate incomes. State law makes it clear that the provision of affordable housing is the responsibility of all local governments, and using vested powers, local governments should make a conscious effort to see that there are housing opportunities provided for all income groups.'") '-'1 State of California Government Code § 65581, as amended, 1999. 1-2) Ibid. § 65580. City of Hermosa Beach Page 1-1 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 1.0 -Introduction The intent of the State's housing element requirements is based on the following concerns (Government Code Section 65581): • Local governments should recognize their responsibilities in contributing to the attainment of the State's housing goals; • Cities and counties should prepare and implement housing elements coordinated with State and Federal efforts in achieving the State's housing goal; State Review of Housing Elements The Housing Element is one of the few general plan elements that must be reviewed by a State Agency prior to adoption. According to Section 65581 of the Government Code, all housing elements prepared by local governments must be submitted to the State's Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The HCD must submit comments to the City regarding the Element's conformance to State law as to scope and content. An element that has been "certified" by HCD is desirable in that such certification will facilitate the acquisition of grants and future development approvals. • Each local government should participate in determining the necessary efforts required to attain the State's housing goals; and, • Local governments must cooperate with other local governments to address regional housing needs.' -3, This Housing Element identifies those programs that will be effective in conserving and maintaining the existing housing in the City of Hermosa Beach while providing opportunities for new housing.

Collectively, the City's General Plan Elements provide the framework for development of facilities, services, and land uses necessary to address the needs and desires of the City's residents. To ensure that these needs are clearly City of Hermosa Beach Page 1-3 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 1.0 -Introduction addressed throughout the General Plan, the Elements must be interrelated and interdependent. This Housing Element is most directly related to the Land Use Element, since it is the Land Use Element that designates the location and extent of residential development throughout the City. With regard to the City's existing adopted General Plan, the following findings of conformity may be made: • This Housing Element does not propose any changes in land uses or in zoning that would result in any inconsistencies with the adopted Land Use Element or with the other General Plan Elements; • This Housing Element will not change the adopted land use and/or development standards included in the Land Use Element; • This Housing Element does not promote or propose any land use changes requiring the installation of any new streets or infrastructure not already anticipated in the General Plan; • The City's ability to accommodate new residential development is limited. As a result, the focus of this Element is to identify strategies that will be effective in conserving existing housing, while at the same time, to investigate opportunities to accommodate new infill residential development; and, • This Element updates important background information used in the evaluation and/or formulation of housing policy. This consistency will be maintained through the City's annual review of its General Plan and the City's progress in its implementation. Under the Government Code, local governments are now required to prepare an annual report indicating how key provisions of the General Plan are being implemented. In addition, the City evaluated this Housing Element's conformity to the individual Elements that comprise the Hermosa Beach General Plan as part of the environmental review. 1.3 Format of the Housing Element The City of Hermosa Beach Housing Element consists of four sections that together fulfill the State's housing element requirements. These sections are organized in a manner that will facilitate future updating in accordance with State law. These sections include the following: • Section 1.0 - Introduction. This section provides an overview of the purpose and authority of the Element, as well as an overview of its organization. • Section 2.0 - Profile Report. The background analysis included in this section serves as the basis for the development of housing policy. Key topics considered in this section include the City's demographic characteristics, the characteristics of the existing housing stock, household characteristics, socioeconomic characteristics, and the constraints that may affect the development of new housing. • Section 3.0 - Housing Projections and Need. The existing and projected housing need for the City of Hermosa Beach is discussed in this section. In addition, the City's land use policy, as it relates to the conservation of housing, residential development, and housing production, is discussed. City of Hermosa Beach Page 1-4 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 1.0 -Introduction • Section 4.0 - Housing Plan. The City's long-range plans for accommodating the existing and projected housing needs, as well as the maintenance and rehabilitation of housing in the City, are detailed in this section. This section outlines the housing policies and programs that will enable the City to achieve its construction need allocation. Finally, this section concludes with an evaluation of the effectiveness of previous housing policies and programs. 1.4 Overview of the City of Hermosa Beach The City of Hermosa Beach is located within the coastal portion of western Los Angeles County and was incorporated in 1907.141 The City has a relatively small land area, consisting of only 1.36 square miles, and is rectangular in shape, with an average width of 0.5 miles and an average length of 2.5 miles. The majority of the City is located within the coastal zone due to the amount of the City's land area that has frontage along the Pacific Ocean. Hermosa Beach is bounded on the south and east by Redondo Beach, on the north by Manhattan Beach, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean coastline.' -5, Like its larger neighbors, the City has a well-defined commercial district that is largely oriented toward its coastal location. The great majority of the City's land area, however, consists of residential development at varying densities. The greatest densities are found in the coastal areas, with lower -density single-family neighborhoods found further inland. The City's location within a regional context is shown in Exhibit 1-1, provided at the end of this section. The City's location in relation to the surrounding communities is illustrated in Exhibit 1-2. Census tracts for the City are depicted in Exhibit 1-3. Aerial photographs illustrating the character of residential development in the City are provided in Exhibits 1-4 and 1-5. As indicated previously, the City was incorporated in 1907, and the majority of the City was already developed at the time of incorporation. More intensive development followed, and this intensification has occurred up to the present time. There are few vacant parcels of land remaining in the City, and the majority of residential construction consists of the "recycling" of individual properties. At the present time, the City is among the most densely populated and developed communities in Southern California, with more than 14,435 persons per square mile and a development intensity of 7,215 housing units per square mile.1-6) The residential development intensity is more than double that of comparably -sized cities located elsewhere in the Southland, while the population density is four to five times that found elsewhere in the region. The majority of the City is developed as residential, with smaller commercial establishments located along the few key arterial roadways that traverse the City. Of the City's total land area available for development, fully 75.3% (606 -acres) are developed in residential land uses. Of this total, 16% is developed with higher -density residential development (33 units per acre), 18.7% is developed at medium densities (25 units per acre), and 39.6% is developed at lower densities characterized by single-family detached housing (13 units per acre). There are virtually no industrial and manufacturing uses remaining in the City.' -7) 1-4) Hermosa Beach, City of. General P/an. 1987. 1-5) State of California Department of Finance.

City of Hermosa Beach Page 1-5 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 1.0 -Introduction According to the most recent population and housing estimates, there are currently 19,631 persons living in the City and 9,813 housing units. Of the total number of existing housing units, 3,969 units (39.9%) consist of single-family "detached" units; 943 units (9.5%) are single-family "attached" units; and 4,824 units (50.0%) are contained in structures containing two or more units. In addition, the City contains a substantial number of mobile homes (77 units, or 0.8% of the total housing in the City) relative to the surrounding area.1-8)1-8) For the development of new housing, the City must continue to be an active participant with the private sector in the provision of new housing. The City does not have a redevelopment agency. In addition, limited outside public sources are available for new housing development because of the income limits associated with most of these public programs. Finally, the use of public funds to construct affordable housing in the City would not represent an efficient expenditure of public money due to the high land and development costs, the City's distance from major employment centers, and the lack of available public mass transit facilities (freeways, light rail, etc.). Nevertheless, the City, as emphasized in this Housing Element, remains committed to the following: • The continuation of land use and development policy that maintains and promotes residential development as the pre-eminent land use in the City; • The continuation of efforts to preserve housing, especially housing that is more affordable, in the City; • The continuation of efforts designed to promote the rehabilitation and preservation of the City's existing housing resources; • The continued removal of governmental constraints that may impede the development of new housing; and, • The continuation of innovating programs that will encourage new housing development, including affordable housing. 1.5 Public Participation This Housing Element is an update of the City's early Housing Element adopted in 1990. Throughout the course of the Element's preparation, the City made a diligent effort to involve the public in the review of the existing Element and the proposed changes. A total of three noticed public hearings were held prior to the circulation of the Housing Element for public review. The efforts in informing and involving the public are described in the following: • The City conducted the noticed workshops/study sessions before the City of Hermosa Beach Planning Commission as part of the Housing Element update. 1-8) State of California Department of Finance. Population and Housing Estimates, Report E-5. May 2000 City of Hermosa Beach Page 1-6 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 1.0 -Introduction • The first noticed workshop, City of Hermosa Beach Planning Commission reviewed the Draft Housing Element's policies and programs. At the second noticed workshop, the Commission considered the version of the draft Housing Element containing the revised policies and programs. A notice was prepared and posted in the paper inviting all interested persons to attend the workshops. • Prior to the first submittal to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), staff prepared a notice inviting the public and a number of housing and service providers, and others who requested CDBG funds this year, to attend the noticed public hearing before the City Council. To discuss issues germane to. housing, including the provision of affordable housing in the City. These workshops and public hearings were not attended by interested parties. • After receiving comments from HCD, staff prepared a mailing notice announcing the City will be hosting a workshop to gather comment information for the Housing Element update. The mailing notice was sent to a number of housing and service providers listed below. • At a noticed public hearing before the City Council, the focus of the deliberations was the revised policies and new housing programs. At this City Council meeting, the Council did direct staff to make some revisions prior to the Element's submittal to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Public service agencies and housing providers were also contacted regarding the Housing Element update and the public meetings. The following public service agencies and housing providers were contacted to participate in the preparation of the draft Housing Element: • Center for the Pacific -Asian Family, Los Angeles; • Rainbow Services, San Pedro; • South Bay Children's Health Center, Torrance; • Family Child Care Network - South Bay, Hermosa Beach; • INFO Line of Los Angeles, El Monte; • South Bay Center for Counseling, El Segundo; • South Bay Senior Services, Torrance; • South Bay Korean -American Senior Center, Gardena; • California Water Service, Redondo Beach; • Hermosa Beach Valley School, Hermosa Beach; • Beach Cities Health District, Redondo Beach; • Project Touch, Hermosa Beach; and, • South Bay Association of Realtors, Torrance. Additional scheduled public hearings will be conducted following the receipt of HCD's comments. These public hearings will provide the public additional opportunities to review the Element and the programs it contains.

City of Hermosa Beach Page 1-12 4 s Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report 2.1 Introduction to the Profile Report 2.1.1 Format of the Profile Report This section of the Housing Element provides detailed demographic, housing, and socioeconomic data for the City, and contains the requisite technical analysis required to support the City of Hermosa Beach Housing Element. According to the State of California requirements governing the scope and content of housing elements prepared by local governments, this Element must contain detailed background information as part of its compilation and preparation.2-1) This Profile Report consists of the following sections: • The Introduction to the Profile Report summarizes the report's format and includes an overview of the City; • The Population Characteristics section describes demographic trends and characteristics that were considered in the formulation of housing policy; • The Housing Characteristics section describes the nature and extent of housing in the City of Hermosa Beach, as well as development trends related to new housing; • The discussion of Special Housing Needs groups provides an overview of those City residents requiring special consideration in the provision of housing; • The Socioeconomic Characteristics section provides an overview of household income and other economic factors that may affect housing production in the future; and, • The Constraints to Housing Development section provides an overview of those variables that may affect the production of new housing in the City. 2.1.2 Sources of Information A number of sources were reviewed in the compilation of the demographic and socioeconomic information used in this analysis. The primary source of statistical information was obtained from the U.S. Bureau of the Census for the years 1980 and 1990. The 2000 Census was recently completed, but this information will not become readily available for at least 12 to 24 months. The U.S. Bureau of the Census divided the United States into geographical units to assist in the enumeration and interpretation of the census data. The largest of these units is the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, or SMSA, which corresponds to the larger, more populous regions in the United States. The City of Hermosa Beach is located within the Los Angeles -Long Beach SMSA, which corresponds to Los Angeles County. Within each SMSA, data is collected for incorporated cities or geographically distinct unincorporated areas (referred to as census -defined places, or CDPS). These cities and CDPs are further broken down into yet smaller geographical units referred to as census tracts. Each census tract is composed of block groups, and each block group consists of a specified number of blocks.2-2) For the purposes of this Profile Report, Census data used in the analysis relied on City-wide and tract -level information. There are three census tracts located in 2-1) California, State of. General Plan Guidelines. 2 Bureau of the Census, United States.

The locations of these census tracts within the City are identified in Exhibit 1-3, provided at the end of Section 1.0. The three census tracts found in the City, and the corresponding areas included within each tract, are described in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 also indicates the number of persons and the number of housing units located within each Tract, according to the 1990 Census statistics.2-3) In recent years, there has been considerable attention given to the possible undercounting that may have occurred in the 1990 Census. This possible undercounting is due to a number of factors, including the failure to identify illegal or bootleg housing units by the census -takers, the reluctance of undocumented persons to participate in the Census, and a failure to follow up on non-responsive households. For purposes of this Profile Report, Census figures have been used to characterize certain types of demographic and household data. However, the Census data provided herein may imply a level of accuracy that in fact, may have a substantial margin of error.2') Table 2-1 Census Tracts Census Tract # Persons' # Units' Area of City 6210.01 3,890 1,910 This tract includes the northeasterly portion of the City.

Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1990. Other sources of information were also used in the preparation of this Profile Report. The California Department of Finance (DOF) publishes housing and population data for every County and City in the State. These estimates are developed from information supplied by individual cities and counties, including building permit data, demolition permit data, and other information. The annual estimates are then periodically adjusted to conform to the Census data figures. The DOF data was used in this report to provide information related to housing and population for the years following the 1990 Census.2-5) The DOF information may also represent an "over count" of housing and population data because the DOF figures do not precisely correspond to the building and demolition permits issued by the City during the same period. Local school districts are required to submit annual enrollment data to the State Department of Education. The enrollment data collected for the Hermosa Beach Elementary School District was 3 The number of housing units identified for each Census Tract includes both occupied and unoccupied (vacant) units. Follow-up studies and surveys completed for selected cities have indicated that the margin of error may range from 5% to 20%. The greatest margin of error is likely in those communities containing large numbers of persons of Hispanic descent. 5 California, State of. Department of Finance.

The Department maintains a detailed inventory of land uses for every parcel in the City. This database was used in the identification of both available sites (together with aerial photographs) and underdeveloped properties.2-7 2.2 Population Characteristics 2.2.1 Population Growth Trends According to current estimates provided by the State Department of Finance, the City's current population is estimated to be 19,631 persons.2-8 According to the 1990 Census, the City's population was 18,219 persons. In 1980, the City's population was 18,070 persons. Compared to other areas within Los Angeles County, the City's population has been relatively stable during the past three decades. Table 2-2 indicates the City's population since 1960, and in ten-year increments up to the present time. Since 1960, the City's population has increased from 16,115 to 19,631 persons, an increase of 3,516 persons, or 21.8%. During this same period, the population for the County increased by 18.5%. Population growth in the City between 1960 and 2000 is illustrated in Exhibit 2-2.

The District's attendance boundaries generally correspond to the City's corporate boundaries. The 1999 enrollment at this school was 713 students in grades K through 8. 2-7) Underdeveloped properties refer to those parcels that are not developed to the fullest extent possible under the applicable zoning designation. An example of an underdeveloped lot might be a parcel occupied by a single-family residence zoned for higher development densities. 2-8) California, State of. Department of Finance.

The populations of Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Redondo Beach declined in the decade following the 1970 Census. During the same period, the population of Hermosa Beach registered a modest increase of 3.78%. The trend in population decline in the neighboring cities appeared to reverse itself between 1980 and 1990. In the decade between 1980 and 1990, all of the cities experienced a gain in population, with the smallest increase recorded in Hermosa Beach. The population growth in the neighboring cities ranged from 1.65% to more than 10%. 2.9) The cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and El Segundo were selected because they are located adjacent to Hermosa Beach, or within the vicinity, and are coastal cities.

S. Bureau of the Census. 1980 and 1990. A number of key demographic trends are apparent from an examination of Table 2-6: • The number of small children under 5 years of age recorded a significant increase between 1980 and 1990. This trend indicates that in the future, school enrollments are likely to increase. • Approximately 7.8% of the City's population in 1990 consisted of school-age persons between the ages of 5 and 19 years of age. More significantly, the actual number of school-age persons showed a significant decline between 1980 and 1990, with the number of persons between the ages of 5 and 19 living in the City declining by approximately 40%. • The greatest decreases were registered in the age cohorts of 10-14 years of age (- 44.3%) and 15-19 years of age (-50.9%). This trend was underscored by the declining school enrollments in the middle school and high school grades during this period. • The number of young adults between the ages of 20 to 24 years of age registered a 35.7% decline between 1980 and 1990. 2-11) The categories used in the Census correspond to key age cohorts or groupings that are not equal intervals. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2- 6 4 • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report • Those age cohorts that included residents between 25 and 54 years of age grew during the same period. The greatest population increase was recorded for the 35-44 age cohort. • The age cohorts for the senior citizens registered a slight decrease. Table 2-7 provides a more meaningful breakdown of the City's population according to broad age categories. The City's population is arranged according to the following categories in Table 2-7: pre-school aged (under 5 years of age), school -aged (5 to 19 years of age); young adult (20 to 34 years of age), middle-aged adults (35 to 54 years of age), and seniors (55 years of age and over). The figures indicated in Table 2-7 underscore the trends identified previously in the review of Table 2-6. The number of preschool -aged children grew, while the number of school -aged residents recorded a significant decline. The young adult category (20-34 years of age) experienced a modest increase overall. The middle-aged cohort (35 to 54 years of age) recorded a significant increase (37.41%), while a very modest decline (-3.65%) was recorded among the senior population. The trends are supported by other Census statistics that indicate the median age of the City's population.2-12) In 1990, the median age of City residents was 32.0 years of age. The corresponding median age for Los Angeles County in 1990 was 29.6 years.

Bureau of the Census Preschool School Age Young Adult Middle Age Seniors • While the year 2000 census data is not available, it appears that certain emerging trends identified in the 1990 census seem to be continuing. Consultation with the local school district provided information related to the ethnicity and number of students that are enrolled in local schools. It appears that the number of elementary grade children living in the City has remained relatively stable. According to statistics provided by the local school district, a total of 722 students are enrolled in the local school. Over the planning period that will be governed by this Housing Element, the number of children living in the City is likely to experience a modest increase. The trends also indicate that the number of young adults will continue to decline due to limited opportunities for new housing and due to natural trends. At the same time, the number of middle-aged adults is likely to increase, based on the trends that emerged during the 1990s. 2.2.3 Race and Ethnicity An important demographic indicator that must be considered in the formulation of housing policy is a city's racial and ethnic make-up. This information is typically obtained from Census statistics that indicate the respondent's race, ethnicity, country of origin, and language spoken at home. The Census statistics also indicate the City's race characteristics based on the respondent's answer to the census questionnaire. For purposes of this analysis, five broad race categories were used, including: white, black, Amerindian/Eskimo, Aleut, and Asian or Pacific Islander "Other." Table 2-8 summarizes the Census statistics, depicting "race" for the three Census Tracts that comprise the City. As indicated in the Table, the overall racial composition of the City is white, with minorities accounting for slightly less than 8% of the City's population in 1990. The largest minority group identified in the 1990 Census was Asians and "Pacific Islanders," accounting for just under 4% of the City's total population. The 1990 Census data is illustrated in Exhibit 2-3.

Bureau of the Census City of Hermosa Beach Page 2- 9 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 - Profile Report The Census statistics also indicate the number of Hispanics or persons of "Spanish Origin" living in a community. In 1980, the Census data classified persons of Hispanic descent according to their' surname. In other words, a respondent with a Hispanic surname was automatically classified as someone of Spanish Origin. The 1990 Census requested the respondent to identify his/her ethnicity. As a result, direct comparisons between the 1980 and 1990 Census statistics are not possible due to the differences in the enumeration techniques. In addition, the Hispanic category refers to ethnicity, and not race. As a result, persons considered to be Hispanic may also be included in all of the race categories (white, black Amerindian, or even Asian). The percentage of the County's population classified as "Hispanic" in the 1990 census was 37.8%. Hispanics living in Hermosa Beach in 1990 accounted for 7.0% of the City's total population. The racial makeup of the population living in the City Of Hermosa Beach is similar to that of nearby beach communities, as indicated in Table 2-9.

By 1990, the average household size increased slightly to 1.89 persons per unit. According to the January 1, 2000 DOF estimates, the average household size increased further to 2.11 persons per unit. Over the two decades following 1980, the average household size increased by 12.2%, while the City's overall population increased by 8.6%. During this same period, the number of housing units increased by only 1.9%. These statistics indicate that population growth in the City is due to increased household size rather than new housing construction. Table 2-10 compares population, housing, and household size trends between 1980 and 2000 in the City of Hermosa Beach.

These variables may influence quality of life issues, health and safety, public services, and infrastructure. As indicated in the Introduction to this Element and later in this section, a significant constraint in the development of new housing is the availability of land for new housing construction, the existing development intensities (especially in the Coastal Zone), and the relatively dense concentration of persons living in the City. Table 2-11 compares the housing and population density of the City with corresponding figures from the surrounding cities (Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and El Segundo) and those cities found in Los Angeles County with similar population. A population range of between 15,000 to 25,000 persons was used in the selection of cities in Los Angeles County for comparison.

The City's population density of 14,435 persons per square' mile is among the highest in Los Angeles County.2-13) 2.3.1 Household Characteristics According to the Census, a household consists of the full-time occupants of a housing unit. A househo/d may consist of one individual, a family, or a number of unrelated individuals. Family households consist of two or more individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption, and do not include one-person households or households comprised of unrelated individuals. Table 2-12 indicates the household and family characteristics of the Census Tracts that comprise the City. According to the 1990 Census statistics, there are 3,562 family households in the City. Families account for 38.8% of all of the households in the City. The same statistics indicate that 9,322 persons live in family households, or slightly over half of the City's residents in 1990 lived in a family unit. The proportion of family households was less than 50% in all of the Census Tracts in the City. These statistics indicate that a substantial number of persons in the City are living along or in households where other household members are unrelated.

Overall, the number of units in the City has been relatively stable over the past several decades. Assuming the 1990 Census statistics and the year 2000 DOF estimates are correct, the City's inventory has increased by 262 units, or 2.7% during the decade following 1990. According to statistics maintained by the City Of Hermosa Beach Community Development Department, the net increase in the number of housing units is considerably smaller. 2-13) The population density for Los Angeles is 8,154 persons per square mile, and 9,204 persons per square mile for Long Beach. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-12 4 Housing Element (July 2003) • • Section 2.0 - Profile Report According to the 1990 Census, there were 9,551 housing units in the City. Of this total,' approximately 40% consisted of single-family detached units, approximately 9% consisted of single-family attached units, and approximately 14% were duplex units. Approximately 10% of the housing units in the City were part of smaller multiple -family developments containing between 3 to 4 structures. Over 25% of the housing units in the City were part of larger multiple -family developments containing 5 or more units per structure. Finally, group quarters and mobile homes accounted for less than 1% of the City's housing stock.244) Comparable housing data derived from the 1990 Census for the County as a whole is compared to comparable statistics for the City in Table 2-13.

Bureau of the Census. 1990 lings utilized for corporate 2.4.4 Housing Stock Conditions As part of the current Housing Element update, a Citywide survey was completed to assess housing conditions in the City. The ranking used in the survey considered the following categories: • Good - housing unit appears to be well-maintained; • In Need of Minor Repair - unit exhibits need for repair, which may include repainting or other limited maintenance; or, • Major Repair - unit is in need of major repairs, which may include, but not be limited to, foundations, roofing materials, etc. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-16 Housing Element (July 2003) • • Section 2.0 — Profile Report The field survey identified a total of six units in Category 2 and two units in need of major repair- (category epair(category 3). Given the relatively large number of housing units in the City, the housing stock overall is well-maintained. The U.S. Census data includes other indicators that may be used to assess the condition of a community's housing stock. These indicators include the age of housing units, whether or not the unit is connected to utilities, and whether plumbing is available. Table 2-20 provides a "breakdown" of the age of housing units identified, according to the 1990 U.S. Census. As indicated in Table 2-20, more than 50% of the City's housing stock was constructed prior to 1960 and more than one-third of the City's housing stock is more than 50 years old.

S. Bureau of the Census. 1990 According to the 1990 Census, the median construction year for residential units in the City was 1960. Of the total number of units in the City in 1990, 71 units lacked complete kitchen facilities, 37 units lacked complete plumbing facilities, and 17 units were connected to septic tanks instead of sanitary sewers. 2.4.5 Overcrowding in Units The 1990 Census compiled statistics concerning overcrowding of individuals occupied housing units. According to the definition of unit overcrowding, a unit is considered to be overcrowded if it contains 1.01 or more persons per room (kitchens and bathrooms not included). The 1990 U.S. Census identified 206 occupied housing units (2.2% of the total number of occupied housing units in the City) as being "overcrowded." Of this total number of overcrowded units, 105 units were classified as severely overcrowded, with more than 1.05 persons per room. Based on the 1990 Census data, there were 9,172 occupied units in the City of which 196 units were classified as overcrowded, with more than 1.01 persons per room. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-17 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Of the overcrowded units, 80 units were owner occupied and 116 units were renter occupied. Therefore, only 2.1% of the occupied units in the City are considered overcrowded and 0.6% are considered severely overcrowded. For purposes of comparison, statistics for Los Angeles County indicated that 11.2% of the occupied units in the County overall met the Census definition of overcrowded units and severely overcrowded units. 2.5 Special Needs Households Households with special needs include those with at least one member having a work or housework disability. Other special needs households include the elderly, large families, female -headed households, farm -worker households, and persons in need of emergency shelter. 2.5.1 Elderly In 1990, 1,056 persons, or 5.8% of the City Of Hermosa Beach's population, were 65 years of age or older, and 2,086 persons, or 11.5% of the City's population, were 55 years of age or older. Comparing these values to 1980 data, the City's older population has declined over the last 20 years. Between 1980 and 1990, the City's population of those 55 to 64 years of age declined by 5.3%, and the number of persons 65 to 74 years of age declined by 5.1%. The number of persons 75 years of age or older increased by 3.1% during that same period. These trends are summarized in Table 2-21 Table 2-21 Seniors 55 Years of Age and Over — 1980 to 1990 Age 1980 1990 Change 1980-1990 Persons-# Persons-% Persons-# Persons-% Persons-# Persons-% 55-64 1,088 6.0% 1,030 5.7% (58) -5.3% 65-74 661 3.7% 627 3.4% (34) -5.1% 75+ 416 2.3% 429 2.4% 13 3.1% Total 2,165 12.0% 2,086 11.5% (79) -3.6% Source: U.

A total of 1,056 persons 65 years of age or older lived in the City in 1990 and accounted for 5.8% of the City's total population. The County of Los Angeles' elderly population (65 years of age or older) totaled 1,047,867, or 11.8% of the County's total population.

Of the City's total occupied units, 788 units, or 8.5%, are occupied by elderly persons. Of the 788 units occupied by elderly persons, 672 units are considered owner occupied and 116 units are considered renter occupied. 2.5.2 Large Families Those households that are typically at greatest risk for overcrowding include large families consisting of 5 or more persons per unit. "Families" are considered groups of persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Households represent all persons living together as groups, regardless of whether they are related. A large family is defined as a household or family with five or more persons. Families are considered groups of persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Households represent all persons living together as groups, regardless of whether they are related. The 1990 Census reported that of the 13,992 households in the City, 673 (4.8%) contained 5 persons or more. Of these 673 large households, 657 (97.6%) were large families. The remaining 16 households were non -related people living together in groups and equaled less than 1% of the total households in the City. Table 2-23 illustrates the distribution of large households throughout the City. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-19 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Table 2-23 Household Type and Size by Census Tract - 1990 (No. Persons Per Occupied Housing Unit) 6210.01 6210.02 6211 City Family Households 2 persons 439 636 922 1,997 3 persons 209 256 390 855 4 persons 155 137 196 488 5 persons 48 43 68 159 6 persons 13 15 17 45 7 persons 7 8 3 18 Non -family Households 1 person 614 1,078 1,659 3,351 2 persons 281 535 937 1,753 3 persons 51 122 237 410 4 persons 9 24 47 80 5 persons 6 2 4 12 6 persons 0 1 0 1 7 persons 0 1 2 3 Source: U. S. Bureau of the Census. 1990 2.5.3 Female -Headed Households Demographic, social, and economic conditions contribute to special housing demands for female - headed households. The 1990 Census reveals that there were 3,485 (24.9%) female -headed households within the City Of Hermosa Beach. Among these 3,485 households, 397 (11.4%) had related children under 18 years old. Current data is not adequate to determine how many of these female -headed households are in need of housing assistance. However, because female -headed households are generally less affluent than male -headed households, it would be expected that there would be a greater need for assistance among female -headed households. Factors of particular interest to female -headed households may include security, and possible, childcare facilities. 2.5.4 Handicapped/Disability Status People with special needs include people who are blind, deaf, or mute; people confined to a bed or wheelchair; or people requiring crutches. Many of these disabilities require that modifications be made to the housing units. Some of these housing needs include, but are not limited to, wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, grab bars, and access ramps. Furthermore, some individuals require housing that is close to health care facilities. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-20 Housing Element (July 2003) • • Section 2.0 — Profile Report The 1990 Census included statistics indicating disability and employment status. This data provides insight into the number of persons residing in the City that have some form of work disability.' These individuals may require special facilities within their housing units to accommodate their special needs. As indicated in Table 2-24, a total of 226 working -aged (16 years to 64 years) adults had some form of work disability. Of this total number, 139 were prevented from working due to the disability. In addition, a total of 295 persons 65 years of age or older were classified as being disabled.

S. Bureau of the Census. 1990 2.5.5 Persons in Need of Emergency Shelter The number of homeless persons in Southern California has remained relatively stable, even though the region has experienced historically low unemployment rates. This is due to the variables that contribute to homelessness. • Single adult (usually male) transients passing through the City on the way to some other destination; • Seasonal or migrant homeless individuals, looking for work; • Chronically homeless persons, consisting of single adults, including non -institutionalized, mentally disturbed individuals, alcohol and drug abusers, and elderly individuals with insufficient incomes; • Minors who have run away from home; • Low-income families who are temporarily homeless due to financial circumstances or are in the process of searching for a home; and, • Women (with or without children) who are escaping domestic violence. Contacts with the City Of Hermosa Beach Police Department and the Los Angeles County Departments of Beaches indicate that transients occasionally pass through the City. When transients or homeless individuals are encountered, they are referred to the appropriate agencies for assistance including a shelter operated by the Salvation Army in the City of Long Beach (1370 City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-21 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Alamitos Avenue) and the Family Crisis Center in Hermosa Beach. In addition, a transitional shelter for women with dependent children is located in the City of Redondo Beach. Emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities may be located in any area in the City with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The fees and the time required for the approval of a CUP do not present a constraint to development (refer to Sections 2.8.2 and 2.8.3). Plan check for the processing of building permits, including those for potential transitional housing and/or emergency shelters is generally four to six weeks, depending on the City's workload. For discretionary permits, such as the approval of a CUP, there is an initial internal review period of 30 days. Once the application is deemed complete, it is then forwarded for the prescribed public review and noticing period. This process can take either 2 or 3 months depending on the permit. If the permit is a Conditional Use Permit or variance the process will take up to ten weeks. If the project requires environmental review the process may be extended. A negative declaration may take 3 to 5 months to complete compared to an environmental impact report (EIR) which can take up to 12 months. The processing time for discretionary permits such as CUP's, includes both the noticing and appeal time. The infrastructure services for the City have been designed to accommodate build -out under the General Plan, and are adequate to handle these kinds of facilities. Public services and facilities are reviewed annually to determine if they are adequate for new development. An applicant desirous of providing or building an emergency shelter or transitional housing facility would obtain a conditional use permit. This process would involve the study of the adequacy and suitability of the site for its intended use and analysis of traffic and other environmental impacts, and based on the anticipated impacts, the City would set out conditions of development. 2.5.6 Farm Worker Households Farm worker households are considered as a special needs group due to their transient nature and the lower incomes typically earned by these households. Migrant workers, and their places of residence, are generally located in close proximity to agricultural areas providing employment. No agricultural activities are found within Hermosa Beach or in the surrounding communities. In addition, the 1990 Census did not identify any"migrant' worker households in the City. 2.6 Socioeconomic Characteristics 2.6.1 Household Incomes As shown in Table 2-24, households in the local beach communities tend to have higher incomes than in Los Angeles County as a whole. Neighboring cities, indicated in the Table 2-25, the income statistics for Hermosa Beach were generally comparable to that of the surrounding communities. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-22 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 - Profile Report Table 2-25 Median Income - 1990 Area Household Income Family Income Per Capita Income Hermosa Beach $22,432 $27,257 $13,386 Manhattan Beach $29,404 $32,015 $13,697 El Segundo $22,086 $25,747 $11,122 Redondo Beach $21,829 $24,286 $10,569 Los Angeles County $15,595 $17,563 $6,406 Source: U. S. Bureau of the Census. 1990 Income data is not yet available from the 2000 Federal Census. However, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that the year 2000 median household income for Los Angeles County is $42,000. The U.S. Department of Commerce has further defined various income groups based on a sliding scale that takes into account the number of household members and dependent children under 18 years of age. These income thresholds for 1999 are indicated in Table 2-26. Very low-income households earn less than 50% of the median income for the County; low-income households earn 50% to 80% of the median income; moderate -income households earn between 80% to 120% of the median income; and above moderate -income households earn over 120% of the County median. As indicated in Table 2-26, the 1999 poverty threshold for a family of four (two adults and two dependent children) in Los Angeles County is $16,895.

As indicated in Table 2-27, which summarizes the Census statistics for those tracts found within the City Of Hermosa Beach, a total of 1,010 persons were living in households that had annual incomes below the 1990 poverty threshold. Table 2-27 Persons in Poverty - 1990 Census Tract Persons in Household % of Persons in Tract 6210.01 170 4.4% 6210.02 385 6.9% 6211 455 5.2% Redondo Beach 1,010 $828 Source: U. 5. Bureau of the Census. 1990 2.6.2 Housing Cost As shown in Table 2-28, housing costs in beach cities are much higher than costs in Los Angeles County as a whole. According to the 1990 Federal Census, the median value of owner -occupied housing was $431,000 in 1990. This is more than double the median value for owner -occupied housing countywide. The median rental paid for housing was more than 150% of that of the County. With the exception of Manhattan Beach, the median cost for housing in Hermosa Beach was greater than that for El Segundo and Redondo Beach. Table 2-28 Housing Cost in Region - 1990 City Median Value ($) Median Rent ($) Hermosa Beach $431,000 $863 Manhattan Beach $500,001 $1,001 El Segundo $357,300 $754 Redondo Beach $348,300 $828 L.A. County $226,400 $570 Source: U. S. Bureau of the Census. 1990 As might be expected, the reported home values in the inland areas (Census Tract 6210.01) were slightly lower than that for those areas located nearer to the beach (Tracts 6210.02 and 6211). In contrast, the median cost for rentals was greater in the inland tract. This may be due to the availability of homes for rent and larger apartments found in the inland area. The median value of a "for sale" unit and a rental unit are summarized below in Table 2-29 for the Census Tracts that comprise the City. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-24 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Table 2-29 Housing Cost in Hermosa Beach - 1990 Census Tract Median Value ($) Median Rent ($) 6210.01 $337,000 $985 6201.02 $425,800 $779 6211 $532,000 $834 City Total $431,000 $893 L.A.

Hermosa Beach in various websites advertising "for sale" units (Table 2-30). A search of advertised "for sale" advertisements was undertaken on the Internet using "Realty.com". A total of 51 advertisements appeared in the databases.

The difference between values reported in the census and home sales prices may be attributed to two factors. First, both the census and advertisements of homes for sale reflect the owner's optimistic opinion of the home value. In the case of sales advertisements in particular, the asking price is typically somewhat higher than what the seller actually expects to obtain. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-25 Housing Element (July 2003) • • Section 2.0 — Profile Report The recorded sales price reflects what a buyer is actually willing to pay. Second, the home value reported in the census is for owner -occupied units only, and does not reflect the value of renter-' occupied homes. It is possible that the renter -occupied homes are being held for future remodeling or rebuilding and have a somewhat lower value than those homes the owner chooses to occupy. The same Internet databases were consulted to obtain advertised rental rates. As shown in Table 2-31, this survey yielded 67 advertisements for rentals. The rentals range from a low of $595 per month to more that $3,000 per month for a single-family home. Still higher monthly rental rates were identified in the survey, though they appeared to be vacation and seasonal rentals. Some of these seasonal rentals ranged between $2,000 to $3,000 per week.

These statistics indicate employment and the number of businesses engaged in the retail, wholesale, and service sectors in 1992. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-26 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Table 2-32 Employment in Hermosa Beach - 1992 Business Sector # Jobs % of Total Agriculture & Forestry 0 0.0% Mining & Construction 128 3.4% Manufacturing 153 4.1% Communication & Utilities 107 2.9% Wholesale Trade 0 0.0% Retail Trade 1,614 43.5% Finance, Insurance, Real Estate 248 6.7% Services 834 22.5% Non -classified 141 3.8% Government & Administration 486 13.1% Total 3,711 100.0% Source: State of California Employment Development Department, 1994 As indicated in Table 2-32, the EDD identified 3,711 jobs in the City. Of this total, the sectors with the greatest levels of employment included retail (43.5%), services (22.5%), and government/administration (13.1%). According to the latest EDD employment figures for the City (November 2000), a total of 15,100 residents were employed, with only 190 persons actively seeking work. This translates into a local unemployment rate of only 1.2%, compared to 4.9% for the County. 2.8 Constraints to Housing Development This section of the Housing Element documents those environmental constraints, market constraints, and governmental constraints that may further impede the development of new housing in the City. As indicated in Section 3.0, the City has actually met its overall construction need, though this is partially due to several unique projects that do not represent the norm. However, it is unlikely that the City's RHNA allocation of housing for very low-income households, low-income households, and moderate -income households can be accommodated. The primary constraint that impedes the development of affordable housing is largely related to high land and construction costs (referred to as market constraints). The purpose of this section is to further identify and discuss those constraints that may inhibit housing development. The constraints considered herein include the following categories: • Governmental Constraints refer to those regulations or actions undertaken by a government entity that may impede the development of new housing or otherwise increase the cost for housing in the City; • Market Constraints refer to those market -related factors that influence the cost of housing, including land cost, development cost, and financing; City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-27 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report • Environmental Constraints include those physical variables that may affect housing development, including the availability of land, infrastructure, and services. 2.8.1 Governmental Constraints — Land Use Controls/Adequate Sites The City is exceptionally small, with a total land area of less than two square miles. Growth in the City is further limited by the Coastal Zone requirements, which preclude the conversion of commercial visitor -serving uses to residential uses. The City does not have large commercial or industrial areas for re -zoning to higher -density residential development. More than 75% of the City is already residentially zoned, with half of this area zoned for R-2 and R-3 development. Approximately 14% of the City has commercial zoning, and 1% is industrially zoned. The balance of the City, or 10% is zoned for open space, which includes the City's beach area. The land use distribution of commercial and industrially -zoned property is well below the neighboring cities in the South Bay and the region in general. As a result, there are limited amounts of non -residentially developed parcels that may be re -zoned for high-density residential development. Hermosa Beach is already one of the most densely developed and populated cities in Los Angeles County. A survey completed in 1991 indicated that if the residentially -designated land area in the City (which accounts for more than 75% of the City's total land area) were to be developed at the maximum permitted intensities, an additional 570 housing units would have been theoretically possible. The analysis determined that up to 9,242 housing units would be theoretically possible under the full implementation of the City's General PIan.2-15) Since 1991, an additional 117 units have been constructed in the City. As of July 2000, the current zoning/general plan land use designations provide for an additional 453 housing units, assuming that all of the underdeveloped residential lots' in the City were developed to the maximum intensity. The analysis of theoretical development potential indicates that the City's land use policy promotes a wide range of housing types at varying development intensities. Based on the extent and location of land designated for residential land uses, and the permitted intensity of residential development corresponding to the land use designations, the City Of Hermosa Beach General Plan is "non -exclusionary." To assess the availability of suitable development sites for residential uses, review of the City's land use database was consulted to identify vacant parcels within the City. The results of this survey indicated the following: • A total of 2.24 acres of commercially zoned land Citywide is vacant, consisting of 28 parcels ranging in size from 108 square feet (a remnant parcel) to more than 28,000 square feet. The majority of these parcels range in size from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. The majority of these properties are zoned C-2, C-3, or SPA. A number of these parcels are remnant parcels that are not suitable for development. • Approximately 0.8 acres of vacant land are designated for industrial uses. • A total of 6.85 acres of residentially zoned vacant land is distributed throughout the City among 101 parcels ranging in size from 1,700 square feet to 3,500 square feet. The 2-'5) City of Hermosa Beach. Housing Capacity Under Zoning Requirements. Jul 2000. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-28 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report majority of these vacant parcels are substandard in that they fail to meet the minimum lot size requirements for the applicable zoning designation. The lot pattern in the City also' discourages lot assembly to accommodate higher development densities, even with rezoning. Typical residential lots in the City are relatively small in size and dimension (often 30 feet by 100 feet). In addition, the maximum building height within the Coastal Zone is limited to 30 feet for multi -family development. The typical project in the City is a two -unit, single -lot condominium. Virtually no property could be assembled for higher -density, which accounts for the relatively low net increase in the number of housing units over the past ten years. Appendix A indicates vacant and underdeveloped sites in the City that may be considered viable candidates for residential development. As indicated in the Appendix, a total of 164 sites are suitable or could be considered feasible candidates for residential development. A detailed inventory is provided as Appendix A. Table 2-33 also indicates the typical development densities that correspond to each zone district. As indicated in the table, the following development intensities are permitted: • R-1. — Up to 13 units per acre; • R -1A. — Up to 13 units per acre; • R-2. & R2B. — Up to 24 units per acre; and, • R-3. — Up to 33 units per acre. The R-2, R -2B, R-3 and R -P zones permit multiple buildings that comply with minimum lot area per dwelling unit standards subject to a Precise Development Plan, and if the multiple units are proposed for condominiums, a Conditional Use Permit is required. Project reviews and approvals are conducted in a timely manner as described in Section 2.8.2, Permit Processing and Fees. Discretionary approval can be achieved within 30-60 days unless appealed to.

In the past year, the City has approved a mixed-use development that involved the construction of two residential units above commercial development. In addition, the City permitted shared parking to accommodate the parking demand for both the residential and commercial uses. This approved project underscores the feasibility of providing additional housing within the commercial zones. Over the past 4 years, a total of 340 units have been constructed while 257 units were demolished to accommodate this new development, translating into a net increase of 83 units. This figure does not include 80 units constructed as part of the Sunrise Senior Housing developments. It is apparent from past development that the recycling and infill that has occurred in the past, has generally resulted in increased densities. However, there have been some instances whereby a number of smaller units have been demolished to accommodate new lower density development. This type of activity has largely been confined to the coastal zone. The City has been diligent in pursuing all legally available means to conserve its affordable housing stock. Key activities that have been undertaken include the following: • The City was successful in preserving the existing Marine Land Mobile Home Park. The preservation of housing within this park, and the RV Park will be assured with the implementation of a Mobile Home Preservation Board. (Refer to Sections 3.3 and 4.3.10). • As indicated previously, and as demonstrated in Table 3-3, the majority of the City is zoned for higher density development. A total of 113.44 acres (18.5% of the City's total land area) and 97.88 acres are designated for "Medium Density Residential" and "High Density Residential," respectively. The City does not contemplate any reductions in development standards or changes in land use designations that would preclude or constraint higher density development within these areas (refer to 4.3.8 that describes the Zoning Conformity Program). • The City, as part of this Housing Element update acknowledges the contribution "second units" can make towards accommodating its affordable housing need (refer to Section 4.3.3) Table 2-35 describes the parking requirements for residential uses. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-30 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Table 2-34 Parking Requirements for Residential Uses Use Required Parking Single -Family Residence Two off-street spaces plus one guest space per SFR. Duplex or Two -Family Residential Two off-street spaces and one guest space per unit, plus one additional space of on-site guest parking for each on -street space lost because of new curbcuts and/or driveways. Multiple Dwellings (Three or more units) Two off-street spaces for each dwelling unit plus one guest space for each two dwelling units. One additional space of on-site guest parking shall be provided for each on -street space lost because of new curbcuts an/or driveways. Detached Servants' Quarters or Guesthouses One space. Mixed Use Parking spaces shall not be less than the sum total of the parking spaces required for each of the distinct uses. No off-street parking facility provided for one use shall be deemed to provide parking facilities for any other use except as otherwise specified within Chapter 17.44 of the Zoning Code. Source: City of Hermosa Beach Land values are so high, that parking requirements have a relatively small effect on overall construction costs. As a result, the City's parking requirements, as well as those governed by the Coastal Commission for that portion of the City within the coastal zone, are not a significant constraint or factor in housing affordability. 2.8.2 Governmental Constraints — Permit Processing and Fees Permit fees and approval time frames do not pose a constraint to development, and the process applies to all residential development including multi -family and mobile homes. Plan check for the processing of building permits is generally four to six weeks, depending on the City's workload. For discretionary permits, there is an initial internal review period of 30 days. Once the application is deemed complete, it is then forwarded for the prescribed public review and noticing period. This process can take either 2 or 3 months depending on the permit. If the permit is a Conditional Use Permit or variance the process will take up to ten weeks. If the project requires CEQA review the process is a little longer. A negative declaration may take 3 to 5 months to complete compared to an environmental impact report (EIR) which can take up to 12 months. The processing time for the discretionary permits mentioned above include both the noticing and appeal time. Exhibit 2-5 and Exhibit 2-6 illustrate the permit process and procedures for the Building and Planning Division. Building codes are applied to new construction, and are monitored and inspected under the building permit process. Where no permits have been obtained, inspections are made in response to requests and complaints. The City has adopted the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Building Code and other related construction codes. The ordinance details the revisions and amendments to the Building Code that exceed state standards. These amendments are all relatively inexpensive, and most of the revisions are related to fire alarms, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and other basic safety measures. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-31 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report 2.8.3 Governmental Constraints — Development Fees Governmental actions and policies may also serve as a constraint to the construction of new housing. These constraints include local ordinances and practices as well as state actions, though the primary land use controls in the City Of Hermosa Beach include the General Plan, Zoning Code, and the Uniform Building Code.

In addition to the fees identified in Table 2-36, park development fees (Quimby Fees) and school impact fees will also increase the cost of new development in the City. Under current State law, school districts are permitted to charge up to $1.56 per square foot of residential development. The amount of money assessed for new park development depends on the size of the residential units and the number of bedrooms. 2.8.4 Governmental Constraints — Coastal Zone Article 10.7 of the State Government Code (Section 65590, et. al.) establishes special requirements for the replacement of low or moderate -income dwelling units that are converted to non-residential uses or demolished, and provision of law and moderate income housing in conjunction with new development within the State Coastal Zone. The majority of Hermosa Beach located west of Valley Drive is located in the Coastal Zone. The State Code Section 65590 (b) requires that: "The conversion or demolition of existing residential units occupied by persons and families of low or moderate -income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, shall not be authorized unless provision has been made for the replacement of those dwelling units with units for persons and families of low or moderate income. Replacement dwelling units shall be located within the same City or County as the dwelling units proposed to be converted or demolished." (Provisional language within this code Section specifies certain types of low or moderate -income residential demolitions/conversions that are exempt from this requirement.) State Code Section 65590 (d) further states the following: "New housing developments constructed within the Coastal Zone shall, where feasible, provide housing units for persons and families of low or moderate -income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code. Where it is not feasible to provide these housing units in a proposed new housing development, the local government shall require the developer to provide such housing, if feasible to do so, at another location within the same City or County, either within the Coastal Zone or within three miles thereof. In order to assist in providing new housing units, each local government shall offer density bonuses or other incentives including, but not limited to, modification of zoning and subdivision requirements, accelerated processing of required applications, and the waiver of appropriate fees." City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-33 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report The City Of Hermosa Beach currently has 6.85 acres of vacant land Citywide available for residential use. The vacant land is distributed among 101 vacant parcels ranging from 1,700 to" 3,500 square feet in area, therefore failing to meet the minimum lot size requirements for the applicable zoning designation. Since the City does not have applicable land or the ability to construct or otherwise subsidize the construction of new housing through redevelopment, it must rely on its existing incentives to promote the development of affordable housing in the coastal zone. No affordable units (units reserved for very low and low-income households) have been demolished within the Coastal Zone since 1982. The Local Coastal Program (LCP), currently being finalized by the City Of Hermosa Beach, addresses three primary issue areas: access, planning for new development, and the preservation of marine -related resources. The LCP will contain a number of policies that may impede the construction of new housing development within the designated coastal zone of the City. These include policies related to the preservation of beach access, the provision of adequate parking (including requiring adequate off-street parking to be provided in new residential development), and controlling the types and densities of residential development within the coastal zone. Those coastal policies related to residential development within the coastal zone include the following: ■ The LCP contains a policy controlling building mass in coastal zone residential neighborhoods. These policies, according to the Coastal Commission, are consistent with overall coastal policies. The policy limiting the building mass and size will discourage the construction of larger single-family homes that may contribute to "Mantionization." In the absence of such policies, the larger single-family homes are often constructed on one or more parcels that are occupied by smaller single-family or multiple -family units. ■ The LCP contains a policy that maintains residential building bulk control through the implementation of development standards. Again this policy will be beneficial in terms of discouraging mansionization. The policy does not involve the creation or establishment of design controls and/or regulations that would involve a conformity review process, design review board, or other measures that would potentially increase housing cost. • The LCP maintains residential structure height limits within the coastal zone. This policy is designed to preserve ocean views though it also provides a number of additional benefits with respect to housing affordability. The policy, like those preceding policies, will discourage mansionization. The policy does not prevent the construction of residential units above ground floor retail. These uses are permitted in the C-1 zone district. • The LCP states that the beach areas must be preserved for public beach recreation, and no permanent structures, with the exception of bikeways, walkways, and restrooms, will be permitted on the beach. This policy has no impact on the development of affordable housing. The policy applies to that potion of the beach between the low mean high tide line. The aforementioned policies are likely to aid in the maintenance of affordable housing since they will discourage "Mansionization." 2.8.5 Market Constraints — Land/Construction Costs City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-34 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report Due to the limited supply of land, coupled with a strong demand for coastal property, the cost of land in the City is quite high relative to the land costs within the larger Southern California region' as a whole. Land prices in the City, as with the nearby coastal community are largely dictated by the presence of ocean views and a lot's proximity to the beach. In the early 1990s, the advertised prices for residential Tots, or "tear down" units, ranged from the mid $250,000s for a developed lot in the inland areas to over $750,000 for a small lot under 5,000 -square feet located near the ocean. This would equate to a land price of $150 to $160 per square foot and approximately $6.5 million per acre. Thus, land cost is a major factor for housing, even at the highest residential densities. 2.8.6 Market Constraints — Financing Costs Financing costs have dropped relative to those costs prevalent in the late 1980s. However, interest rates have been steadily increasing in response to the Federal Reserve's concerns regarding potential inflation. These recent interest rate hikes, coupled with the aforementioned development costs, have limited the ability of moderate and lower-income households to qualify for construction loans. The interest rates currently available to homebuyers in the City are comparable to those provided in the surrounding region. However, the incomes required to qualify for a typical 30 -year mortgage are considerably greater due to the high price for "for -sale" units (refer to Section 2.6.2 herein). 2.8.7 Environmental Constraints — Infrastructure Roadways in Hermosa Beach are subject to high levels of traffic, which would be further impacted by any new development. The great majority of the traffic, especially during the summer months, consists of through -traffic, over which the City has no control. Because of the City's location in relation to the regional freeway system, access to the surrounding region is limited to the arterial roadways. The many thousands of visitors to the local beaches also impact parking and other services, in addition to traffic. The major arterial roadway in the City for which regular traffic counts are taken is Pacific Coast Highway. The intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Pier Avenue registered an average daily traffic volume in excess of 60,000 vehicles with a peak hour volume of over 5,500 vehicles. The intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Artesia Boulevard is also a designated Congestion Management Program (CMP) intersection. This intersection's operating level of service if LOS F (with an ICU of 1.04). Roadway widening is not practical given the nature and extent of development found along the rights -of -ways of most arterials in the City. 2.8.8 Environmental Constraints — Flooding Because of the city's coastal location and its topography, a substantial portion of the city's coastal zone may be subject to flooding in the event of a tsunami. The State of California Division of Mines and Geology, the United States Geological Survey, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are in the midst of mapping the potential tsunami risk for the Southern California coastline. At the present time, that portion of the City located immediately adjacent to the Pacific Ocean is included within the potential tsunami inundation zone. 2.8.9 Environmental Constraints — Seismic Risk City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-35 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 2.0 — Profile Report The California Division of Mines and Geology is currently mapping seismic hazards for the urbanized areas of northern and southern California. This mapping program identifies specific areas that may' be subject to liquefaction and/or seismically -induced slope failure in the event of a major earthquake. Development within those areas that may be subject to these risks must undertake additional geotechnical investigation to ascertain the level of risk and any requisite mitigation. The aforementioned CDMG mapping program identified several areas within the City Of Hermosa Beach where potential seismic risks are present. The coastal areas may be subject to liquefaction due to the presence of water -bearing, sandy soils. City of Hermosa Beach Page 2-36 • • Draft Housing Element (July 2002) Section 3.0 - Housing Projections and Needs 3.1 Regional Housing Needs Assessment As indicated previously, the authority to determine housing needs for the various income groups for cities within the region has been delegated to SCAG, pursuant to Section 65584 of the Government Code. The housing needs are categorized according to income groups. The income categories include Very Low, Low, Moderate, and Above Moderate Income households, and the incomes of the selected income groups are based upon percentages of the median household income for the Los Angeles area and are defined according to the following criteria: ■ The Very -Low -Income households are those whose income does not exceed 50% of the median household income for the greater Los Angeles area; ■ The Low -Income households earn from 50% to 80% of the median; • The Moderate Income groups earn from 80% to 120% of the median; and • The Above Moderate -Income households earn over 120% of the median income. SCAG's Regional Housing Needs Assessment estimated the seven-year future housing construction need for Hermosa Beach at 333 units (refer to Table 3-1). The housing needs for the selected income groups are shown in the lower portion of Table 3-1. In addition, the RHNA objectives are retroactive. As indicated in Table 3-1, of the projected 333 units required to meet the City's RHNA, a total of 55 units will be required to meet the housing demand for very -low-income households, 42 units for low-income households, 61 units for moderate -income households, and 175 units for above - moderate -income households. The total number of units for each income levels totals 333 units due to rounding; however, the actual number of units included in the City's RHNA allocation is 332.

These "assumptions" relied on building permit data provided by the Community Development Department. City of Hermosa Beach Page 3-1 Housing Element (July 2003) • Section 3.0 - °using Projections and Needs ▪ In calendar year 1998, a total of 102 units were constructed. In addition, the Sunrise Senior Housing development, consisting of 80 units, was constructed in 1998, resulting in 182 units for that year. The project was allowed to be constructed at a density of 45 units per acre, 37% above the 33 unit per acre density typically allowed for the R-3 zone. Of this total number of senior units, 30 units are considered to be affordable in Table 3-2." ▪ In calendar year 1999, a total of 89 units were constructed. ▪ In calendar year 2000, a total of 112 units were constructed. In addition, a hotel was constructed, consisting of 72 rooms. ▪ In the period between January and March 2002, 37 units were constructed. Based on the aforementioned information collected from the City's Community Development Department, a total of 420 units have been added to the City's housing inventory since January 1, 1998. These additional units may be counted towards the City's RHNA allocation. As a result, the total construction need has been met.

An analysis of the City of Hermosa Beach Land Use Element underscores the developed character of the City and the limited opportunities for additional development. Table 3-4 indicates the development that would theoretically be possible if every parcel of land were to be developed at the maximum intensities possible. For example, the theoretical development scenario assumes each individual lot would be developed at the maximum intensity permitted under the General Plan. A survey completed in 1991 indicated that if the residentially -designated land area in the City (which accounts for more than 75% of the City's total land area) were to be developed at the maximum permitted intensities, an additional 570 housing units would have been theoretically possible. The analysis determined that up to 9,242 housing units would be theoretically possible under the full implementation of the City's General PIan.3-4) The development potential for the various residential land use designations is indicated in Table 3-4. 3-3) City of Hermosa Beach General Plan.

Housing Capacity Under Zoning Requirements. July 2000. Tables 3-4 and 3-5 indicate that the City's land use policy promotes a wide range of housing types at varying development intensities. Table 3-5 also provides an accurate description of the maximum as well as viable development available in the City. This inventory includes the development viability of each land use site showing that the capacity for new development is very limited. Based on the extent and location of land designated for residential land uses, and the permitted intensity of residential development corresponding to the land use designations, the City of Hermosa Beach General Plan is "non -exclusionary." Currently there are 9,514 units located within the City and according to Table 3-5, 328 additional units are possible under the City General Plan. Lot sizes, lot pattern, and the land values in the City dictate development of 2 and 3 unit projects that maximize development potential of the lots, and because of the market and beach location the units are still not affordable, and would not become affordable even if more density was permitted. 3.2.3 Land Availability - Vacant and Underdeveloped Land Inventory The majority of the City's land area is designated for residential development, and virtually all of the parcels where such uses are permitted have been previously developed. To assess the availability of suitable development sites for residential uses, review of the City's land use database was consulted to identify vacant parcels within the City. The results of this survey indicated the following: ■ A total of 2.24 acres of commercially zoned land Citywide is vacant consisting of 28 parcels ranging in size from 108 square feet (a remnant parcel) to more than 28,000 square feet. The majority of these parcels range in size from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. The majority of these properties are zoned C-2, C-3, or SPA. City of Hermosa Beach Page 3-5 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 3.0 - Housing Projections and Needs • Approximately 0.8 acres of vacant land is designated for industrial uses. ■ A total of 6.85 acres of residentially zoned vacant land is distributed throughout the City among 101 parcels with 1,700 square feet to 3,500 square feet. The majority of these vacant parcels are substandard in that they do not meet the minimum lot size requirements for the applicable zoning designation. In order to facilitate the development of vacant lots, the City has and will continue to promote the density bonus program. All vacant and underutilized sites are served by infrastructure that will permit their development, and the city is committed to maintain infrastructure capacity through its capital improvement program. The City contracts with L.A. County for sewer treatment, and California Water Service Co. for water supplies that can serve existing and future development. A detailed listing of vacant sites is provided herein in Appendix A. To assess the availability of underdeveloped sites for high-density residential development, the City's land use database was consulted to identify sites with additional development capacity in the R-3 and R -P zones, as well as the C-1 zone, which permits apartments above ground level commercial. The results of this survey indicated the following: • Additional development capacity is available on 140 sites zones R-3 (Multi -Family Residential) or R -P (Residential Professional), currently underdeveloped to their capacity under the zone, which permits a density of up to 33 units per acre. Based on the analysis, up to 257 additional dwelling units can be constructed on these lots if developed separately, and potentially more with lot consolidation. • Additional housing can be built on C-1 lots not currently developed with housing as apartments are allowed above ground floor commercial. Based on the analysis, up to 44 dwelling units could be constructed assuming a density of 33 -units per acre on each individual lot; this number could be potentially greater if lots are consolidated, or if higher density projects are proposed. In order to facilitate the development of these underdeveloped lots with affordable units the City will promote development of these lots at the highest possible density and encourage lot consolidations where possible, pursuant to program 4.3.11. 3.3 Housing Objectives As indicated in Section 3.1, the existing "unmet" need for housing units during this RHNA period is 55 very low-income units, and 12 low income units, a total gap of 67 units in these low income categories. Table 3-6 includes the housing objectives the City will strive to meet during the balance of the RHNA period, distributes the units by income category that have been and will be constructed, and also includes information about rehabilitated, conserved and preserved units. The new higher density construction to be encouraged by the housing program to encourage development R-3, R -P and C-1 properties will potentially accommodate 301 higher density condominium and apartment units. Since these units will be smaller, and provided incentives related to parking and other concessions, the City's target is for 26% to be built as apartments to accommodate affordable elderly or disabled housing or low income housing, yielding 78 low, very low, or moderate income units to meet the RHNA need for those categories. City of Hermosa Beach Page 3-6 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 3.0 - Housing Projections and Needs The Marine Land Mobile Home Park located with the City of Hermosa is the location of 60 mobile homes units. The Marineland Mobile Home Park is one of the very few places in the City that provides affordable housing. The other location that is occupied by affordable housing is the RV park. The RV Park provides services for both transient housing and permanent housing. There are 21 RV spaces within the park. The majority of the persons residing in the RV Park have become permanent residents of the park. The RV Park is a great source in providing housing for the very -low income because the rent for space is substantially low compared to renting a mobile home that is already very low. The City will establish a Mobile Home Preservation Ordinance to ensure that existing affordable housing located within the Marineland Mobil Home and RV Parks is preserved within Hermosa Beach. The City will obtain Mobile Home Park Inspection authority from the State of California to ensure that the mobile home and RV parks are being preserved.

City of Hermosa Beach Page 3-8 • • Housing Element (July 2003) Section 4.0 Housing Plan 4.1 Introduction to the Housing Plan The purpose of this section of the Housing Element is to identify those policies and programs that will enable the City to accommodate its projected construction need for new housing. This section consists of the following: • The Introduction to the Housing Plan provides an overview of the components that comprise the Housing Plan; • The Housing Policies outlines those policies that serve as the City's vision relative to the conservation of existing housing and the provision of new housing; • The Housing Programs describes those programs that will be effective in the implementation of the aforementioned policies; and, • The Implementation Program highlights the manner in which new housing will be provided through the implementation of the housing policies and programs contained herein. 4.2 Housing Element Policies This section establishes the City's housing policy framework. Section 65583(c) of the Government Code requires that actions and policies included in the housing program address five key issue areas. As a result, the policies that have been included in the City of Hermosa Beach Housing Element, responding to the following issue areas: • The manner in which the City will assist in the conservation of existing housing resources, including affordable housing; • The City's strategy in assisting in the development of new housing opportunities; • How the City intends to provide adequate sites to achieve a variety and diversity of housing types; • How the City proposes to remove governmental constraints that may impact the development of housing; and, • How the City may help to promote equal housing opportunities. Issue Area No. 1 - Conservation of Existing Housing As indicated previously, the City's proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its desirability as a place to live and vacation has contributed to the high land and housing costs relative to the surrounding region. The City, nevertheless, has been successful in maintaining its more affordable housing through the adoption of ordinances and special land use regulations. The City of Hermosa Beach remains committed to those efforts designed to preserve and maintain the existing housing resources in the City, including affordable housing. This commitment is underscored by the policies listed below. City of Hermosa Beach Page 4- 1 Housing Element (JuIv 20031 Section 4.0 Housing Plan Policy 1.1 The City will continue to encourage the maintenance and improvement of the existing housing stock within the local neighborhoods. Policy 1.2 The City will assist in the preservation and enhancement of the housing supply available to senior citizens. Policy 1.3 The City will work to minimize the conversion of existing lower-cost rental housing in multiple -family developments to condominiums. Policy 1.4 The City will promote and encourage the conservation and maintenance of the existing neighborhoods. Policy 1.5 The City will investigate potential sources of funding and other incentives that will assist in the preservation and renovation of older housing units. The City will continue to implement its current code enforcement procedures as a means to ensure that the conservation and maintenance of the existing housing resources in the City. Issue Area No. 2 - Development of New Housing Opportunities The City's ability to directly fund the construction of affordable housing is constrained due to the absence of redevelopment set-aside monies typically used for these purposes. In addition, the construction of affordable public housing within the coastal zone would not necessarily represent an efficient expenditure of public money, given the relatively high land and development costs in the City. As a result, the City has become an active participant in the development of more affordable housing through the relaxation of land use controls and other incentives. The City of Hermosa Beach will continue to assist in the development of new housing for all income groups through the implementation of the policies listed below. Policy 1.6 Policy 2.1 Policy 2.2 Policy 2.3 Policy 2.4 Policy 2.5 The City will continue to promote the development of a variety of housing types and styles to meet the existing and projected housing needs for all segments of the community. The City will continue to encourage the development of safe, sound, and decent housing to meet the needs of varying income groups. The City will continue to implement the land use policy contained in the City's General Plan, which provides for a wide range of housing types at varying development intensities. The City will continue to support and promote home ownership in the community. The City will continue to cooperate with other government agencies, citizen groups, and the private sector, in order to assist in meeting the existing and future demand for housing. City of Hermosa Beach Page 4- 2 Housing Element (July 2003) i • Section 4.0 Housing Plan Issue Area No. 3 - Provision of Adequate Sites for New Housing The majority of the City underwent development during the early years of this century. More intensive development followed, and this intensification has occurred up to the present time. There are few vacant parcels of land remaining in the City, and the majority of the residential construction that has occurred involved the "recycling" of individual properties. Nevertheless, the City of Hermosa Beach will continue to explore potential sites for residential development as a means to achieve a variety and diversity of housing types. Policy 3.1 Policy 3.2 Policy 3.3 Policy 3.4 The City will evaluate new development proposals in light of the community's environmental resources and values, the capacity of the public infrastructure to accommodate the projected demand, and the presence of environmental constraints. The City will continue to evaluate the General Plan and zoning to ensure residential development standards are adequate to serve the future development. The City will continue to review current zoning practices for consistency with the General Plan as a way to potentially facilitate new mixed-use development within or near the commercial districts. The City will continue to examine the Second Unit Ordinance to ensure that its utilization will promote the development of second units as a means to provide affordable housing and evaluate the feasibility of granting some form of amnesty for illegal units (as long as they conform to current applicable health and safety codes). Issue Area No. 4 - Removal of Governmental Constraints In previous years, the City has been successful in the conservation of housing, especially affordable housing, through the implementation of land use ordinances and regulations. A key component of the City's housing policy is to assist in the development of more affordable housing with the use of incentives and other measures. The City of Hermosa Beach will continue to remain committed to the removal of governmental constraints. Policy 4.1 Policy 4.2 Policy 4.3 Policy 4.4 The City will continue to abide by the provisions of the Permit Streamlining Act as a means to facilitate a timely review of residential development proposals. The City will work with prospective developers and property owners to assist in their understanding of the review and development requirements applicable to residential development in the City. The City will continue to implement its efforts to educate the community regarding the development standards contained in the City of Hermosa Beach Zoning Ordinance. The City will continue to evaluate its zoning ordinance and General Plan as a means to remove governmental constraints related to development standards. These may include, but not be limited to, parking requirements, new City of Hermosa Beach Page 4-3 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 4.0 Housing Plan standards for mixed-use development review of the second unit ordinance, and senior housing requirements. Issue Area No. 5 - Equal Housing Opportunities Federal and State laws prohibit housing discrimination, based on an individual's race, ethnicity, or religion. Nevertheless, discrimination has existed in Southern California for more than three decades, since the passage of laws prohibiting such practices. Enforcement of fair -housing laws generally occurs through the courts, though persons being discriminated against often lack the resources to obtain the necessary legal protections. As a result, alternative means to obtain assistance must be made available. Towards this end, the City will continue to cooperate with other public agencies and non-profit organizations providing this assistance. Policy 5.1 Policy 5.2 Policy 5.3 The City will continue to provide information and referral services to regional agencies that counsel people on fair housing and landlord -tenant issues. The City will continue to cooperate with the County Housing Authority related to the provision of rental assistance to lower-income households. The City will continue to cooperate with other cities and agencies in the area in investigating resources available to provide housing for the area's homeless population. Policy 5.4 The City will support the expansion of shelter programs with adjacent cities and local private interests for the temporary accommodation of the homeless population. Table 4-1 identifies the policies that have been included in this section of the Housing Element (Section 4.1), arranged according to the five main "issue" categories. The implementing housing programs and ordinances related to the policies are then identified in the second column.

Fair Housing Program Source: City of Hermosa Beach, 2003. 4.3 Description of Housing Programs The programs included in this Housing Element focus on those incentives that will encourage the private sector to construct affordable housing in the City. As indicated in Section 3.0, the City's RHNA allocation calls for the construction of 333 housing units by the year 2005, which have already been constructed by March 2002. The City's difficulty in achieving the RHNA involves the need to provide 55 units for very -low income households, 42 units for low- income households, and 61 units for moderate -income households. As indicated in Table 3-2 some of these units have already been provided by the Sunrise Senior Housing project, accounting for 30 low-income and 50 moderate -income units, leaving a balance of 55 very - low income, 12 low-income, and 11 moderate -income. The lack of available programs and resources, coupled with the high land and development costs, will be a constraint to the development of any more affordable housing to meet these RHNA targets. As a result, the focus of the following programs is to identify strategies to assist the private market in the development of this affordable housing. These programs include: ■ A housing development incentive program that encourages the development of more affordable housing through the use of incentives currently required under State law; • A second unit ordinance program that involves the continued implementation of the City's (granny flat) ordinance as a means to provide affordable housing; • An expansion of ongoing efforts to preserve the affordable housing provided by the Marine Land Mobile Home Park, including the passage of an Affordable Mobile Home Park Ordinance, and the City is seeking authorization to issue mobile home permits; City of Hermosa Beach Page 4-6 Housing Element (July 2003) • • Section 4.0 Housing Plan • Programs that promote the implementation of those sections of the City's Zoning Ordinance permitting high density, and thus potentially affordable residential development in the R-3, R -P and C-1 Zoning Districts; • A program that calls for the identification of suitable sites where new residential development may occur, including sites within those areas zoned for non-residential development; and, • The City is among the most densely developed and populated cities in Southern California. As a result, a cornerstone of City policy involves the maintenance and conservation of existing housing resources. A number of programs designed to promote the maintenance of the existing housing stock and the protection of the existing residential neighborhoods from the intrusion of incompatible land uses, are included in the Housing Plan. 4.3.1 Development Bonus Program Program Description: This program provides for bonuses and other incentives in the City's Zoning Ordinance, as required under the California Government Code, to developers who construct projects containing affordable units. This program will also be useful in providing new market -rate and senior housing. According to the State guidelines, affordable units are defined as follows: • A "for -sale" unit is considered affordable to a lower-income household if the total monthly payment (rent or mortgage) does not exceed 35% of the monthly income of the household with a monthly income equal to 80% of the County median income. (The affordability thresholds are defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.) • A new rental unit is considered affordable to a lower-income family if the total housing cost (including rent and utilities) does not exceed 30% of 60% of the median monthly income for a family. • An existing rental unit is considered affordable if the total housing cost, including rent and utilities, does not exceed the prevailing fair -market rent published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. New residential development meeting the above requirements may request that the City grant an incentive (with a value equivalent to a 25% density bonus) and/or regulatory concession or incentives. Within 90 days of receiving a request for such an incentive, the City Council is required to conduct a public hearing on the request. These incentives may include, but not be limited to, expedited review, relaxation of development standards (such as parking), and an increase in the maximum development density. Following the hearing, the City Council may grant such incentives as long as the density bonus is appropriate and consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Code. The City will continue to implement this program. In addition, the Density Bonus Program will be periodically reviewed to ensure it is in conformance with State Housing Law. The program's use will be encouraged during pre -development consultation, counter brochures, and the use of the City's website. Implementation Action: To help inform developers and contractors of the incentive program, the City will continue to provide brochures at the counter and provide City of Hermosa Beach Page 4-7 Housing Element (July 2003) Section 4.0 Housing Plan information on the City's web site regarding the Housing Development Incentive Program, and will review its zoning ordinance to ensure consistency with state laws. Timing: Brochures, website and other outreach elements of this program will be fully implemented by the end of 2003. The City staff will commence their review of the Ordinance to ensure its compliance with State law immediately. A recommendation/staff report will be provided to the City Council by the end of 2002. Funding: This program will be financed through the City's General Fund. No new funding source will be required. 4.3.2 Housing Sites Database Program Program Description: The purpose of this program is to comply with Government Code, Section 6558(c)(i), which requires local governments to identify sites that may be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards. The City will continue to maintain and update its comprehensive land use database as means to identify suitable sites for new residential development. This database provides zoning and other information for every parcel in the City, and includes information regarding underdeveloped and undeveloped parcels in the City. The database is largely in place at this time. The City will continue to work with the database to promote its ease of use by staff and others. The staff will also evaluate other ways the database could- be made available to property owners, investors, and builders. The City will provide a copy of the database at the Planning Department counter. Implementation Action: The City will bi-annually update its land use database to reflect the continuing changes in available sites and their available capacity for housing. The City will make this database available to developers and realtors, and announce this availability through brochures available at the Planning counter, and on the City website. This program provides for City staff to consider and, if possible, work with the current property owner to expand the mobile home leases within the park and to work with current property owners of other potential housing sites. Timing: This program will commence immediately. Brochures, website and other outreach elements of this program will be fully implemented by the end of 2003 in conjunction with the outreach for the Development Bonus Program and other housing programs. Program will be fully implemented by the end of 2003. The next bi-annual update of the property database will commence in early 2004. Funding: This program will be financed through the General Fund. 4.3.3 Mobile Home Conservation Program This program provides for the maintenance and conservation of the mobile homes located within the Marine Land Mobile Home Park, located at 531 Pier Avenue. In 1999, the City rejected a request by the property owner to reconfigure the mobile home park lines that would have resulted in the elimination of a number of existing units. The Applicant was seeking a re -alignment of the trailer Tots to accommodate the larger doublewide units. Through this review process, the City underscored its commitment in maintaining the existing configuration of the mobile home park, recognizing its value in providing more affordable City of Hermosa Beach Page 4- 8 Housing Element (July 2003) • • Section 4.0 Housing Plan housing units than what would otherwise be likely. In addition, there is land within the mobile home park that may be available for new residential development. The site would require some grading to make the site suitable for development. This is a new program created to conserve and preserve the last remaining mobile home park and RV park in the City of Hermosa Beach. The Marine Land Mobile Home Park will continue to provide housing for the very -low and low-income households and persons. The State RV Park will provide space for very -low-income persons and households; it will also provide transitional housing space for those persons or households in transition from RV to apartment or home. As part of this program's implementation, the City will draft an ordinance and obtain records that describe the units located within the Marine Land Mobile Home Park and State RV Park. The City will conduct inspections on an annual basis to ensure the mobile units within the Marine Land Mobile Home and State RV Parks are being preserved. As part of this program, the City will obtain a mobile home park inspection permit from the State of California Authorities. This permit will allow the City authorities to perform inspections in the Mobile Home and RV Parks. These inspections will ensure that units located within the Parks are being preserved. In addition, the permit will help the City verify the number of RV spaces occupied by transients and settlers. Implementation Action: This program has already been partially implemented. The adoption of a Mobile Home Preservation Ordinance and consultation with the State to obtain a mobile Home Inspection Permit authority will be implemented by the end of 2004. The City will continue to work with the current property owner to expand the mobile home leases within the park. Timing: This program will commence immediately. Program will be fully implemented by the end of 2004. Funding: This program will be financed through the City's General Fund. No new funding source will be required. 4.3.4 Second Unit/Granny Flat Program Program Description: Those portions of the City that are presently zoned R-2 and R-3 typically contain parcels too small to accommodate second units. As a result, the provisions for a second unit apply to the R-1 single-family zone. The current second -unit ordinance provides for a second unit on lots of at least 8,000 square feet, with the granting of a conditional use permit, and this ordinance will be modified to allow a second unit under these circumstances to be permitted administratively pursuant to A.B. 1866. The current code provides for the occupancy of a second unit to one or two adults who are 60 years of age or older. In addition, the maximum permitted floor area for the second unit is 640 square feet. Finally, the existing residence in which the second unit is to be located must conform to the City's parking code. The City also requires that a deed restriction on the second unit, restricting its occupancy to one or two individuals who are 60 years of age or older. This program will provide for the continued implementation of the City's Second Unit Program_ An important element of this program involves the review of the existing ordinance to ascertain its compliance with State laws, including AB 1866. The purpose of this review is to ensure the program's effectiveness and to maximize the creation of second units in accordance with state and local laws. City of Hermosa Beach Page 4-9 Housing Element (July 2003) • Section 4.0 Housing Plan Implementation Action: The City will prepare a brochure outlining the ordinance requirements and any requisite development standards. The City Staff will review the provisions of this Ordinance to determine its conformance with State law. A report will be submitted to the City Council before the end of 2003 outlining the Staff's findings and any recommendations. This report will also include an assessment of the effectiveness of the Second Unit Ordinance to date indicating the number of units that have actually been provided under its implementation.

To ensure that this goal is achieved, the Code Enforcement Program emphasizes the following: • The City actively pursues Municipal Code violations on a complaint basis, with particular emphasis being placed on those areas clearly exposed to public view; • All necessary steps are taken to ensure that violations are corrected in an expeditious and voluntary manner; • The City utilizes misdemeanor criminal prosecution only when attempts to gain voluntary compliance have failed; and, • When necessary, the City prosecutes Code violations as misdemeanor criminal complaints. The Code Enforcement Program is responsible for enforcing those sections of the Municipal Code related to property maintenance, including zoning, property maintenance, illegal units, trash container regulations, and sign regulations. The Code Enforcement Officer assists and makes recommendations to other City departments, such as conducting inspections of business license and home occupation offenses. The most frequent violations for residential development are referred to the Code Enforcement Officer and include the following: trash containers in public view, illegal units, right-of-way obstruction, property maintenance, home occupation offenses, illegal structures, and construction without permits. Implementation Action: This program will be expanded and will continue over the planning period. Timing: Basic elements of this program are in place and will continue through the planning period.

The City does permit residential development within the C-1 zones and has been active in ensuring that an overly restrictive implementation of the non -conforming section of the Zoning Ordinance does not result in the elimination of housing. Through this program, the City will continue to promote new housing development within the C-1 zones, where appropriate. Development proposals involving legal non -conforming parcels will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to promote the conservation of housing, as much as this is possible. The City recently approved a 2 -unit mixed use development within a parcel zoned as C-1 and, in another recent case, permitted the remodeling of three non -conforming units within parcel zoned as C-2. Implementation Action: The key components of this program presently exist and will continue over the planning period. The City will promote this program through brochures available at the Planning counter, and on the City website in conjunction with other housing programs. Timing: This program is ongoing and will continue through the planning period.

The City will assist developers in expediting plan review for projects in this category, and assist developers in finding opportunities for lot consolidation to maximize development potential in these zones based on our property database and other sources. The City shall monitor the production of units in the R-3, R -P and C-1 zones in relation to 2005 housing needs, especially in the production of very low and low-income units. In January of 2004, the City will assess whether sufficient units are being considered for development and, if not, will undertake additional efforts to encourage sufficient development. These additional efforts can include identifying alternative sites for residential development, providing additional incentives for affordable housing, and/or more aggressive marketing of the availability of mixed use and high-density alternatives to the development community. Affordable housing in the R-3 and R -P zones, and for apartments in the C-1 zone shall be encouraged with the use of the following incentives: • Expedited permit processing through concurrent review through Planning and Building and Safety. • Availability of Development Bonus (see Program 4.3.1) • Reduction of on-site property development standards (e.g. reduced parking standards for developments that include affordable elderly or disabled housing units) 4.4 Housing Program Implementation Matrix Table 4-2 indicates the Agency or department responsible for overseeing the administration and/or implementation of the aforementioned programs.

The analysis first considers the effectiveness of specific programs and actions in promoting the conservation and/or development of new housing. The second component of this analysis considers the relevance of the Housing Element objectives and policies. The State requires that Housing Elements evaluate all of the following: • The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goal; City of Hermosa Beach Page 4- 14 Housinq Element (July 2003) • • Section 4.0 Housing Plan ■ The effectiveness of the housing element in attainment of the community's housing goals and objectives; and, ■ The progress of the city in the implementation of the housing element. Generally, cities have an important role to play in achieving the state housing goals, and it is the locality, in each case, that can best determine how it will direct its efforts. It is this process of review and evaluation that permits local officials to look at old and new trends in their community. They are also able to initiate new actions in the update through the public participation phase of the process. As a part of the update, the City must include data and analyses for the current five-year planning period and project the ability of the community to provide the number of housing units estimated to be needed during the period (See Section 65583). The most recent 1989-1994 revised Housing Element incorporated the State requirements with the local conditions. 4.5.1 Previous Housing Element Objectives and Policies The previously adopted Housing Element focused on the planning period governed by the 1989-1994 RHNA. Since that time, no new RHNA figures were forthcoming due to budget constraints at the State level. According to the applicable RHNA for that period, the following SCAG housing goals were applicable to the City: • Very Low -Income Households • Low -Income Households • Moderate -Income Households • High -Income Households • Total Projected Need Through its previous Housing Element, the City housing units would likely be constructed given new development, and economic conditions. As was identified in the previous element: • Very Low -Income Households • Low -Income Households • Moderate -Income Households • High -Income Households • Total Revised Need 76 units 82 units 95 units 259 units 512 units determined that a much lower number of the market factors, availability of land for a result, the following adjusted future need 43 units 45 units 58 units 149 units 295 units The quantified housing objectives for the City called for the construction of 150 new additional housing units and the replacement of 145 units, for a total of 295 units. During this period, the net number of housing units increased by 262 units, exceeding the City's objective. The major accomplishments during the planning period and in the intervening years included the following: City of Hermosa Beach Page 4-15 Housing Element (July 2003) • Section 4.0 Housing Plan • The City oversaw the construction of 262 housing units since 1990; • A new senior housing project was completed in 1998, consisting of 80 senior units; • In 1999, the City rejected a request by the property owner to reconfigure the mobile home park lines that would have resulted in the elimination of a number of existing units within the Marine Land Mobile Home Park. • The City further reduced the potential for "mansionization" through its design review process; • The City provided for a density bonus and a relaxation of parking standards as part of the review and approval of a senior housing project in 1998; and, • The City developed a comprehensive database to assist prospective developers to identify sites that would be suitable for infill development. The City prepared a Policies Workbook that staff and decision -makers were asked to review. The workbook indicated those existing policies and objectives that were included in the previous Housing Element and reviewers were asked to make changes or comments in the space provided below each policy/objective. The purpose of this Policies Workbook was to assist in the review of the existing Housing Element programs and policies. This review, in turn, enabled the City staff to determine the appropriateness of the existing housing policy in meeting existing and projected housing needs. Finally, the Policies Workbook assisted in the development of new policies and programs in those instances it was determined that new policy direction was warranted. As required by Section 65583(c) of the Government Code, actions and policies included in the housing program were arranged so they addressed five key issue areas. As a result, the policies contained in the Housing Element are discussed according to the following five issue areas: • The conservation of the existing stock of affordable housing. • Assistance in the development of affordable housing. • The provision of adequate sites to achieve a variety and diversity of housing. • The removal of governmental constraints as necessary. • The promotion of equal housing opportunities. Table 4-3 indicates those original objectives and policies that were included in the previous Housing Element and the corresponding revisions. This Housing Element has been simplified to include only "policies." The previous Housing Element's goals, policies, and objectives appeared to have a similar function that was largely indistinguishable.

Background: Proposition 111 requires that each city adopt and implement a Transportation Demand Management Plan. As a result, cities must provide annual documentation that they are in compliance with the State mandated CMP program which provides a link between development, transportation and air quality through trip reduction and transportation measures. Analysis: Using the mathematical formulas provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, staff has prepared the attached Local Implementation Report (LIR), which indicates that the City is in compliance with State requirements. After subtracting "debits" resulting from development in fiscal year 02-03, a total of 8,421 "credits" remain. Thus, at this time no transportation or traffic improvement measures are required under the Congestion Management Program.

Background: In February 2002, the Planning Commission considered and approved a project located in the C-1 limited commercial zone involving two apartment units above commercial. The applicant also sought to include condominium uses in the project and the Commission directed staff to prepare a text amendment that also permits condominium uses in the zone. The C-1 zone has permitted apartments above limited commercial uses for over 30 years. In fact, the C-1 zone was originally called Limited Business and Residential Zone in the 1970 edition of the Zone Code. That Code specified R-3 development standards for the residential portion of such projects.1 In the current Zone Code, Section 17.26.030 lists the permitted and conditionally permitted uses in the C-1, C-2 and C-3 zone and includes residential use above a commercial building as a conditionally permitted use, but omits reference to the R-3 development standards. The current Code provision permits: "Residence; one or more apartments may be built above a commercial building." The City Attorney has advised that since apartments are distinguished from condominiums in the Municipal Code, it is not possible to use these terms interchangeably and the code must be amended. 2 The applicant of the above project was delayed and subsequently purchased additional property adjacent to the original project site, and plans to resubmit an application for a fully code complying three -unit project with a condominium form of ownership for hearing by the Planning Commission in August.' Analysis: The attached amendment will clarify that a project containing residential uses, allowed in the C-1 zone, may include condominiums. The category is proposed to read as follows: o "Residence: Residential uses above ground floor commercial use(s), including condominium developments. • • The proposed change provides latitude for unit ownership and will subject such projects to the more restrictive provisions of the Condominium Ordinance relative to noise attenuation, setback and minimum unit size.4 Condominium ownership, both for the residential units and/or commercial units, will not otherwise change other requirements relative to use, development or parking and the text amendment does not change any other aspect of such projects. CONCUR: Sol Blumenfeld, hrect 'r Community Dev opment Department Stephen R. Burrell City Manager Attachments Proposed Ordinance Notes en Robertson Senior Planner 1 The 1970 Zone Code prescribed the following for the C-1 zone: Residential: (a) Four or more apartments developed to R-3 standards; and (b) One or more apartments built above commercial provided the whole building including the ground floor and second and third floor has a side yard setback of 10% the lot width (minimum 3' and maximum 5' and the rear setback is five feet at all floor levels with no encroachments over City property. 2. Apartment means a rental or leased dwelling in a structure designed or used to house two or more families. Condominium means an estate in real property consisting of an undivided interest in common in a portion of a parcel of real estate together with a separate interest in space in a residential, industrial or commercial building on such real property 3. The project will conform to the R-3 development standards related to density and open space (but not residential building setback) and the C-1 development standards for building height and commercial development, and will fully comply with the parking requirements for each use. 4. The development standards for a condominiums include: height- as prescribed in the zone, setback — minimum 5 feet, unit sizes — 1 bedroom 900 sq.ft. 2 bedrooms 1, 100 sq. ft., 2 bedrooms and den 1,250 sq. ft, 3 bedrooms 1, 400 sq. ft. 3 bedrooms & den 1, 600 sq. ft., each additional bedroom 130 sq. ft.., sound attenuation 58 stc rating between floors/ceilings of stacked units and 52 stc rating between walls.

The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 15, 2003, to consider amending Section 17.26.030 of the Zoning Ordinance, which contains the list of permitted uses in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 zones, and to initiate and consider a text amendment to allow condominiums addition to apartments as a conditionally permitted use above commercial in the C-1 zone, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Based on the evidence considered, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the text amendment. Section 2. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on August 19, 2003, to consider and review the proposed text amendment and the recommendation of the Planning Commission, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, and the record of the Planning Commission's recommendation was presented to and considered by the City Council. Section 3. Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing, and the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the City Council hereby ordains that the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Title 17 -Zoning, Chapter 17.26, be amended as follows: 1. Amend the matrix contained in Section 17.26.030, C-1, C-2 and C-3 land use regulations as follows (underlined text to be added): Use C-1 C-2 C-3 See Section Residence:. - • - --- - - - - U -- 17.40.020 . . .... . . residential uses above ground floor commercial use(s), including condominium developments. Section 4. 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 5. 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. Section 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance, shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said city, and shall make minutes of the passage 1 • 0 and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed and adopted.

Recommendation: That the City Council approve an expenditure of funds to develop the preliminary engineering for the above area that have submitted petition containing over 60% of the property owners in the proposed district. The cost estimate for the preliminary engineering for the electric system is $300,000. Background: The City Council received the petition from the proposed underground assessment district on May 27, 2003 and directed staff to obtain estimates from SCE as well as the telephone and cable companies. The cost estimate provided by SCE is $300,000. This, although much more than the city has advanced in the past to a proposed district, is consistent with the cost per property in the other districts and the system that is being undergrounded. The City Council has advanced funds in five situations. The Myrtle and Loma underground districts were advanced funds which have been paid back by the districts once the project was approved by the property owners. Three other proposed districts have also been advanced funds for SCE to complete the engineering work. This engineering by SCE has been completed and one of these districts, Beach Drive from North of 21st to North of 24th Street, is the final formation stages with the consultant completing the Engineers Report, which sets the final assessment and is the basis for doing the formal notices and ballots. The other two districts are being engineered by the telephone and cable companies and will follow the Beach Drive district into the formal assessment process once this work is finished. I have attached a copy of a map that shows the areas that are in the underground process. This proposed district is very large and that is the primary reason for the cost estimate provided by SCE. The other districts received the engineering advance from the Capital Improvement Fund. Funding would be available from this source in order to keep this project moving. As you know, if the district is successful then the City is repaid from the proceeds of the assessment district. If the district fails, the City would not be repaid however the engineering work product could be used for a smaller or different district should the property owners continue to work to place the utility poles underground. The PUC approved a program last year that allows a city to request that funds be advanced from its Rule 20A funds and repaid in a similar manner as the city now uses. 7a Recommendation: That the City Council approve an expenditure of funds to develop the preliminary engineering for the above area that have submitted petition containing over 60% of the property owners in the proposed district.

The PUC approved a program last year that allows a city to request that funds be advanced from its Rule 20A funds and repaid in a similar manner as the city now uses. 7a • Staff requested that SCE use that approach on this district because of the size and we were informed by SCE that because the city has been advanced over 10 years of Rule 20A funds that we were not eligible to use that approach. According to SCE, Rule 20A funds can no longer be advanced beyond 5 years. Staff has estimated, based on the information from SCE, that the city's Rule 20A account would be even in 2014. This of course could change based on the amount allocated or changes in the PUC regulations. It would seem that this program is not a viable alternative for this proposed district.
