Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE SERVICES AND MCCORMICK AMBULANCE JULY–
DECEMBER 2024 SEMI-ANNUAL REVIEW.
CEQA: Determine that this report is not a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) or, in the alternative that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file the Los Angeles County Fire Services and
McCormick Ambulance reports for July through December 2024.
Executive Summary:
The 2024 semi-annual review of the fire and ambulance transport services provided by
Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance, respectively, provides
an overview of service level provided from July through December 2024. Staff continues
to monitor the service trends to ensure the highest level of services for our community.
Background:
On June 31, 2017, the City of Hermosa Beach transitioned fire and emergency transport
services to Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance.
At its February 11, 2020 meeting, City Council modified the frequency of reporting from
quarterly to semi-annually, with the inclusion of the call transfer data in the monthly
reports. Additionally, City Council requested monthly reports be placed onto the City
Council agenda under consent calendar. On the January 14, 2020 City Council agenda,
the monthly reports began to appear. The enclosed semi-annual report reflects the
services from July through December 2024.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
February 11, 2020 Council directed staff to provide the Fire and Ambulance
services review semi-annually and to include call transfer
data into the monthly report to be added to the consent
calendar.

Analysis
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) Calls for Service
The South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority, known as RCC, is the initial
public-safety answering point (PSAP) for police and fire services within the City of
Hermosa Beach. When RCC receives a call for service, the dispatcher collects critical
data including name, phone number, address, and nature of the emergency. For police
related incidents, RCC continues to gather additional information from the caller and
dispatches police personnel as necessary. For fire related incidents, the critical data is
collected, and the caller is transferred to the Los Angeles County Fire Department
(LACoFD) dispatch center. Once received, a LACoFD dispatcher gathers all information
needed to dispatch fire and EMS personnel. The critical data is collected by RCC, as a
safeguard, prior to transferring the call to LACoFD. Should the call be dropped during the
transfer and/or there is a change in the status of the patient calling for assistance, RCC
can try to reconnect with the caller and relay the information to LACoFD, who can dispatch
resources based on the information gathered. Total call time begins when the call is
initiated with RCC to the arrival of units on scene.
From July through December 2023, RCC transferred 434 calls for service to LACoFD
dispatch with an average transfer time of 57 seconds. For the same time period in 2024,
RCC transferred 381 calls for service to LACoFD dispatch with an average transfer time
of 57 seconds. Based on the data, there was a decrease of 53 calls for service year-over-
year during this time period. Attachment 1 provides the RCC call transfer time data for
July through December 2024. Attachment 2 provides the average call answer time once
the dispatch is transferred to LACoFD for call processing for the same time period.
Table 1 below shows that from July through December 2024, Los Angeles County Fire
Department responded to 977 calls for service with an average response time of 4
minutes and 41 seconds. Los Angeles County Fire Department defines average response
time as the time that the first-arriving units, which excludes the Lifeguard units, are
enroute and arrive at each incident and includes emergency and non-emergency calls.
The time necessary to dispatch and the time necessary for the crews to leave the station
are not included in the average response time data.

Attachments 3 and 4 provide average response times by incident type from July through

Automatic Aid
Automatic aid is a critical partnership between Los Angeles County Fire Department and
the Area G jurisdictions of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance.
From July through December 2023, Los Angeles County Fire Department responded 19
times into surrounding jurisdictions to provide automatic aid, while LACoFD received aid
69 times. During the same period in 2024, LACoFD responded 13 times to provide aid
and received aid 68 times. Attachment 5 illustrates auto aid responses provided by both
the fire district (Los Angeles County Fire Department) and Area G cities (El Segundo,
Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance Fire Departments) from July through
December 2024.
Special Events
During the reporting period, Fire Station 100 facilitated educational and community
outreach initiatives, including the provision of station tours and visits for students from the
Sister City program in Loreto, as well as students from the South Bay region. Station
personnel also participated in community events such as the 911 Ceremony, Hermosa for
the Holidays, and Beach Cites Toy Drive.
Fire Prevention
Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel assigned to Station 100 are responsible
for the annual business fire inspection program. Station personnel conduct fire and life
safety inspections at businesses both large and small to ensure compliance with the Fire
Code. In 2024, 100 percent of the business inspections Station 100 conducted passed.

McCormick Ambulance
From July through December 2024, McCormick Ambulance completed 432 emergency
transports and received 316 calls that were subsequently cancelled. During the same
period in 2023, McCormick completed 425 emergency transports and received 262 calls
that were subsequently cancelled. There was an increase of seven transports completed
during the previous time period. Attachment 7 provides details regarding McCormick
Ambulance Transports from July through December 2024.

Month Number of Completed
Transports

Transports
January–June 2024 382 255
July–July 2024 432 316
Total 814 571
In addition to providing basic transport data, recent monthly reports have discussed call
arrival delays. From July through December 2024, the report indicated that 28 calls
resulted in delayed Code 3 responses. A Code 3 response is one where the responding
emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life-threatening
emergency, which is typically classified as an ALS call. According to the McCormick
Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59)
seconds” for a Code 3 incident.
There were 3 delayed Code 2 responses from July through December 2024. A Code 2
response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens
to an emergency classified as a basic life support or BLS call. According to the McCormick
Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed fifteen (15) minutes, zero (0)
seconds” for a Code 2 incident.
As discussed in the monthly reports, delay causes include distance from the dispatched
location; multiple calls received at the same time; or extended wait times at the local
hospital emergency departments. McCormick Ambulance is working with stakeholders
from the hospitals and Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMS)
Page 15 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 7
to develop solutions to decrease patient transfer of care times and ensure ambulance
personnel have returned to the field to respond to the next call for service.
While arrival delays for patient transport are a customer service issue that needs to be
mitigated, from a critical patient care standpoint, Los Angeles County Fire Department is
providing care to patients and ensuring life saving measures are provided in a quick and
efficient manner while McCormick is enroute to the patient’s location.

Discussion:
Once a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map is approved by the Planning Commission, copies
of the tentatively approved map must be submitted to the Los Angeles County
Engineer, who is contracted by the City, to review the map for its technical correctness,
pursuant to Section 66442(a)(4) of the State Subdivision Map Act. The Parcel Map
was reviewed and approved by the Los Angeles County Engineer, and a letter was
issued November 20, 2024 (Attachment 3).
Final maps must be submitted to the City Council and must be approved by the City
Council, “...if it conforms to all the requirements of [Subdivision Map Act] and any local
subdivision ordinance applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the
tentative map and any rulings made thereunder....” pursuant to Section 66458(a) of
the State Subdivision Map Act.
Staff reviewed the Final Parcel Map and found it substantially consistent with the
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map approved by the Planning Commission and in
conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
General Plan Consistency:
This final map and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their
consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant policies are listed below:
Land Use Element
Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a
robust economy and high quality of life for residents.
Policy:
1.6 Scale and context. Consider the compatibility of new development within
its urban context to avoid abrupt changes in scale and massing.
Goal 2. Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and
abilities and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles.
Policy:
2.3 balanced neighborhoods. Promote a diverse range of housing unit types
and sizes, within the allowed densities.
Goal 5. Quality and authenticity in architecture and site design in all
construction and renovation of buildings.
Policy:
5.6 Eclectic and diverse architecture. Seek to maintain and enhance
neighborhood character through eclectic and diverse architectural styles.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Environmental Determination:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project
qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption, Existing Facilities, as defined in Section
15301(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it consists of an addition to an existing
structure provided the addition will not result in an increase more than 10,000 square
feet, is located in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow
for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and, is not located in an
environmentally sensitive area. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical
Exemption apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of
successive projects of the same type in the same place over time or have a significant
effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances or damage a scenic highway
or scenic resources within a state scenic highway.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.

Staff Report No. 25-CDD-041
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
REVIEW OF SUBMITTAL OF THE 2024 HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS
REPORT
CEQA: Determine the (i.e. project, ordinance, etc.) is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act.
(Planning Manager Alexis Oropeza)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Receive and file the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report; and
2. Direct staff to submit the report to the California Department of Housing and
Community Development.
Executive Summary:
The Housing Element is a mandatory component of every General Plan. Each year,
jurisdictions are required to prepare a progress report detailing the status and
achievements in implementing their Housing Element, as mandated by Government Code
Section 65400. This report must be prepared using the forms adopted by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and submitted to both the
Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and HCD by April 1st for the previous
calendar year.
Background:
Since 1969, Housing Elements have been a mandatory component of the local general
plans because housing is considered by the State legislature to be of vital statewide
importance. A Housing Element provides an analysis of a community’s housing needs for
all income levels, and strategies to respond to and provide for those housing needs. It is
a key part of the City’s overall General Plan and required to be updated every eight years.
State law establishes that each city accommodates its fair share of affordable housing as
an approach to distributing housing needs throughout the state.
The Housing Element planning periods are sometimes referred to as “cycles.” The City’s
current Housing Element covers the planning period from 2021 to 2029, which is
commonly referred to as the “6th Housing Element Cycle” in reference to the sixth required
update since comprehensive revisions to State Housing Element law occurred in 1980.
For the 6th cycle, the City has been allocated a Regional Housing Needs Assessment of
558 units (232 very low, 127 low, 106 moderate, and 93 above moderate income
Page 113 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
units). City Council adopted the 2021–2029 Housing Element at its December 21, 2021
meeting, and the revised Housing Element at its August 8, 2023 meeting. The City’s
Housing Element was certified by the Department of Housing and Community (HCD)
Development on August 1, 2024.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
December 21, 2021 The City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted
the 2021–2029 Housing Element
August 8, 2023 City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted the
revised 2021–2029 Housing Element.
Discussion:
The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Attachment 1) for the 2024 calendar year
was prepared using the forms and reporting format required by HCD. The report for 2024
reflects the typical trend in Hermosa Beach, which shows a modest annual net increase
in housing. This is primarily due to new housing units replacing existing ones or an
increase of just one or two units each year. During this period, the City issued 16 permits
for 18 new residential units, which included 6 accessory dwelling units.
In addition to permits issued, the Annual Progress Report also includes information on
other factors of housing production within the City. One of the early stages in housing
production is the processing of the entitlements (precise development plans and
subdivisions). In the 2024 calendar year, the Community Development Department
received eight entitlement applications, currently under various stages of review for 21
market-rate dwelling units.
In the area of policy development, the City's progress was focused on obtaining
certification of the Housing Element in 2024 and a number of zoning text amendments
were also completed. In May 2024, City Council adopted a series of zoning standards
updates per HCD’s guidance. The changes were made to help support the development
of residential units and included updating the zoning code to: 1) require a minimum of
residential floor area for mixed-use projects in the Housing Element Overlay Zone; 2)
update the parking standards; and 3) establish by right housing review for projects
consisting of the development plan process for projects with a minimum of 20 percent
housing. Additional revisions to respond to HCD’s direction were made to incorporate a
minimum density for Housing Element Overlay density to be established at 20 dwelling
units per acre. As a result of this work, Housing Element certification was issued by HCD
on August 1, 2024.
Consistent with the Housing Element goals and policies, the City Council in November of
2024 adopted an updated ADU Ordinance to reflect changes in state law and incorporate
Page 114 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
one additional local revision, which established distance between dwelling units shall be
consistent with the Building Code.
General Plan Consistency:
Annual Progress Reports are required by Government Code Section 65400 and are part
of the City’s responsibility to implement the Housing Element of the General Plan. This
report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with
the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Land Use Element
Goal 2. Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and
abilities and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles. Policy:
Balanced neighborhoods. Promote a diverse range of housing unit types and
sizes, within the allowed densities.
Housing Element, 2021–2029
Issue Area No. 3—Provision of Adequate Sites for New Housing. The majority of the
City underwent development during the early 1900s. 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 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.
Policy 3.2 The City will continue to evaluate the General Plan and zoning to ensure
residential development standards are adequate to serve future development.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE REPEALING HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
(“HBMC”) SECTIONS 12.28.010(H) AND 12.20.240 AND ADDING CHAPTER 12.40
TO THE HBMC REGULATING CAMPING IN PUBLIC AREAS
CEQA: Determination the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act.
(City Attorney Patrick Donegan and Deputy City Manager Angela Crespi)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Waive the full second reading and adopt by title only Ordinance No. 25-1486 of the
City of Hermosa Beach, California, (Attachment 1) repealing Hermosa Beach
Municipal Code (“HBMC”) sections 12.28.010(H) and 12.20.240 and adding
Chapter 12.40 to the HBMC regulating camping in public areas and finding the
ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and
2. Direct the City Clerk to print and publish a summary ordinance in a newspaper of
general circulation within 15 days following adoption and post a copy on the City’s
bulletin for 30 days.
Executive Summary:
As requested by the City Council at its October 8, 2024 meeting, staff presents an
ordinance for the City Council’s consideration regarding camping in public areas in the
City (including in vehicles) and the blocking of public access by those sleeping, laying or
placing personal property in the City. The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) would
repeal two existing HBMC code sections dealing with camping in certain places (the
Strand, beach and City parks) and instead proposes a dedicated HBMC chapter (Chapter
12.40) to more holistically regulate camping and its related issues on a citywide basis.
The ordinance proposes, among other remedies, that violations of Chapter 12.40 may be
subject to the City’s administrative citation process.
Background:
At its September 10, 2024 meeting, Councilmember Detoy requested, Mayor Pro Tem
Saemann and Mayor Francois supported, a future agenda item to discuss the Grants
Pass Supreme Court decision regarding camping in public areas. At its October 8, 2024
meeting, the City Council received a report on the issue.
Page 137 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 7
Existing prohibitions on camping in the City are found in two parts of the Hermosa Beach
Municipal Code (“HBMC”).
HBMC section 12.28.010 prohibits the public camping in City parks and states that:
“Within the limits of any public park or playground, no person shall: . . .
H. Camp or lodge, except in municipal automobile camps designated as such by
the city manager”
HBMC section 12.20.240 regulates camping on the Strand or beach and states:
“No person shall camp on or use for overnight sleeping purposes any portion of
the beach or Strand, or bring a house trailer or similar vehicle onto the beach or
Strand, and a violation of this section shall be an infraction.”
While not applicable in every public place in the City, the above stated HBMC provisions
constitute the City’s current regulatory regime as it pertains to camping in the City and
prohibited camping in City parks and the Beach/Strand. However, over the past few years
there have been some pertinent court cases dealing with local regulation on camping that
up until the most recent Grants Pass Supreme Court decision, restricted or narrowed
what local cities in California could do to regulate public camping.
The two Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal cases that significantly narrowed the permissible
scope of local regulation of public camping were the Martin v. City of Boise (“Martin”) and
Johnson v. City of Grants Pass (“Johnson”) decisions.
In Martin, homeless individuals sued the City of Boise, Idaho, after being criminally
prosecuted under city ordinances banning public camping. As relevant here, the Ninth
Circuit held that the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment
“prohibits the imposition of criminal penalties for sitting, sleeping or lying outside on public
property for homeless individuals who cannot obtain shelter.” Subject to some exceptions,
Martin prohibited cities from arresting homeless individuals for involuntarily sitting, lying
or sleeping in public when the city does not provide a shelter bed in its “jurisdiction” for
that potential arrestee. In December 2019, the Supreme Court denied Boise’s petition to
review this decision.
The Johnson decision came later and involved two Grants Pass, Oregon, camping
regulations. The first allowed sleeping in public, but prohibited the use of “bedding, [a]
sleeping bag, or other material used for bedding purposes.” The city argued that Martin’s
holding was limited to prohibitions on sleeping in public. And on that basis, the city
maintained that local regulations—such as a complete prohibition on the use of bedding,
sleeping bags and related items—were permissible. The Ninth Circuit disagreed and
concluded that the “only plausible reading” of the term “sleeping” in the context of Martin
is that it “includes sleeping with rudimentary forms of protection from the elements.”
Page 138 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 7
The second regulation involved the city’s enforcement framework in light of Martin’s
prohibition on imposing “criminal penalties for sitting, sleeping or lying outside on public
property . . . .” Grants Pass preceded criminal enforcement by issuing civil penalties that—
if violated—could then be punished criminally. The Ninth Circuit rejected this approach,
reasoning that Martin’s holding applies to civil citations where “the civil and criminal
punishments are closely intertwined.”
At its core, the question addressed in Grants Pass was whether “one specific provision
of the Constitution—the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause of the Eighth
Amendment—prohibits the enforcement of public-camping laws.” The Supreme Court
said no.
The Court explained that the Eighth Amendment’s Cruel and Unusual Punishments
Clause was adopted to “ensure that the new Nation would never resort” to formerly
tolerated punishments considered to be “‘cruel’ because they were calculated to
‘superad[d] terror, pain, or disgrace’ and considered ‘unusual’ because by the time of the
Amendment’s adoption, they have ‘long fallen out of use.’” The Court added that the
Eighth Amendment is focused on “the method or kind punishment” that a “government
entity may impose for the violation of criminal statutes”—not “whether a government may
criminalize particular behavior in the first place or how it may go about securing a
conviction for that offense.”
The Court observed that Grants Pass’s civil-then-criminal punishment framework was not
“cruel and unusual” because the city imposed limited civil fines for first-time offenders,
non-criminal stay away orders from public parks for repeat offenders, and a maximum
sentence of 30 days in jail for those who violated the orders. The Court reasoned that this
scheme of fines and jail time is a common practice among municipalities nationwide, who
impose “similar punishments for similar offenses.”
The Court also rejected the Ninth Circuit’s rationale in Martin and Johnson that public
camping ordinances (like Grants Pass’s) violate the Eighth Amendment by criminalizing
an individual’s “status” as a homeless person. The Court observed that the camping laws
at issue were not “status” crimes because they criminalized conduct (i.e., camping in
public) and violations could occur regardless of whether the “charged defendant is
homeless, a backpacker on vacation passing through town, or a student who abandons
his dorm room to camp out in protest on the lawn of a municipal building.”
In sum, the Supreme Court observed that the “Eighth Amendment serves many important
functions, but does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities
from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy.”
The City Council introduced on first reading and waived full reading of the ordinance at
its February 25, 2025 meeting and directed certain changes regarding the violation
Page 139 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 7
section. At its March 11, 2025 meeting, the City Council made additional substantive
changes to the violation section and this item is the second reading for the ordinance.

September 10, 2024 Councilmember Detoy requested, and Mayor Pro Tem
Seamann and Mayor Francois supported, a future agenda
item regarding the City’s current regulations on public
camping and possible regulatory options in light of the
Grants Pass decision.
October 8, 2024 City Council gave direction to bring back a comprehensive
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code amendment to regulate
camping in public places in light of the recent Grants Pass
decision.
February 25, 2025 The City Council introduced on first reading and waived full
reading of the ordinance and directed certain changes
regarding the violation section.
March 11, 2025 The City Council introduced on first reading and waived full
reading of the ordinance.
Discussion:
The Supreme Court’s Grants Pass decision overruled the Ninth Circuit’s decisions in
Martin and Johnson. Consequently, cities within the Ninth Circuit’s jurisdiction (which
includes all of California) are now free to enact and enforce laws regulating public
camping and to address possible other causes and conditions of homelessness in their
respective jurisdictions. As such, the proposed ordinance repeals the pertinent language
in HBMC sections 12.20.240 and 12.28.010 dealing with camping and proposes a new
dedicated Chapter in the HBMC dealing with camping—Chapter 12.40.
As proposed, Chapter 12.40 prohibits camping (defined below) citywide in prohibited
public places (also defined in the ordinance) and includes a prohibition on using a vehicle
for human habitation in prohibited public places. Further, this Chapter prohibits the
starting or using of a fire in prohibited public places and prohibits the camping, sleeping,
lying or storage of personal property in a way that obstructs public access or within 20
feet of any entrance or exit to certain buildings. Finally, violations of this Chapter are
subject to the City’s administrative citation process.
Camp is defined as:
“Camp” means to use property for living accommodation purposes or to use a
vehicle for human habitation. A person shall be considered to be using property for
living accommodation purposes if the person admits they are camping; the person
Page 140 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7
is using a camp facility or camping paraphernalia between the hours of 10:00 p.m.
and 6:00 a.m. to live outdoors or remain outdoors overnight; or, based on the
totality of the circumstances, it is established that a person is using the property to
live, dwell or reside, which is exemplified by the person sleeping or preparing to
sleep outdoors; the person having with them damaged recreational equipment that
cannot be used for its intended purpose; the person having with them camp stoves,
pots, pans, or other cooking equipment in an area that is not designated for
cooking; the person having with them a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, blanket, pillow,
bedroll or other similar bedding; the person having with them trash, recyclables,
rubbish, or other garbage; the person having with them human waste, animal
waste or medical waste that is stored in buckets, bottles or similar containers;
and/or the person bathing or grooming themselves outside of facilities designated
for these purposes.
A person shall be considered to be using a vehicle for human habitation if: the
person admits they are using the vehicle to camp; or, based on the totality of the
circumstances, it is established that a person is using the vehicle to live, dwell or
reside, which is exemplified by the person continuously remaining inside the
vehicle at the same location for three hours or more; the person sleeping in the
vehicle; the inability of a person outside the vehicle to view through two or more
windows because the view is limited or blocked; the inability to use seating in the
vehicle because a large volume of personal belongings, trash, rubbish, or garbage
is stored in the vehicle; the person preparing or cooking meals inside or on the
vehicle; the person bathing or grooming inside the vehicle; the storage of items
inside or on a vehicle that are not associated with ordinary use of the vehicle such
as a sleeping bag, bedroll, blanket, sheet, pillow, kitchen utensil, cookware,
cooking equipment or furniture; the use of buckets, bottles or similar containers to
hold bodily fluids; and/or having furniture set up in or around the vehicle, such as
chairs, tables, umbrellas or portable cooking equipment. This list of circumstances
is not exhaustive and the totality of the circumstances shall govern.”
Practically, while the Grants Pass decision and the proposed Chapter 12.40 are steps in
the right direction in terms of local control, these will not be a panacea for this issue in the
City. While some may be discouraged by any local regulations, others in this subset of
the population that may violate the proposed Chapter 12.40 may be undeterred by the
threat, or issuance, of an administrative citation.
Formal enforcement processes (i.e., administrative citation/criminal charges, etc.) alone
will oftentimes not be enough when dealing with this subset of the population for a variety
of reasons and will divert limited police and CSO resources away from other pressing
issues. Enforcement will be an ongoing challenge, and any criminal penalties are subject
to review and analysis by the pertinent prosecuting authorities. Thus, while this may be
Page 141 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 7
one tool the City may use to address this issue in the City, the City Council and the public
should understand that this will likely continue to be an issue in the City. The City will
continue to take a “care first” approach seeking to provide mental health, housing
services, and other services aimed at addressing the underlying causes of homelessness.
City staff will continue to pursue multiple avenues and collaborative efforts with our
governmental and non-profit partners to address this complex challenge including HB
Cares Mobile Mental Health Team; Harbor Interfaith housing outreach services through
the Beach Cities Partnership; Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, MET
Team deployment; the Housing Initiative Court; and CitiNet Homeless Survey with
Redondo Beach.
As directed by the City Council at its February 25, 2025 and March 11, 2025 meetings,
the violation section of the newly proposed Chapter 12.40 was modified to include
provisions that allow the City Manager to dismiss any administrative citations upon
acceptance of services or completion of a diversion program—to the satisfaction of the
City Manager. Further, violations may be subject to misdemeanor prosecution and upon
a maximum number of administrative citations issued in a seven-day period, no more
administrative citations shall be issued to the same individual during this seven-day
period.
Environmental Review:
The adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) of CEQA in that there is
no potential for this ordinance to cause a significant effect on the environment. Further, it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a
significant effect on the environment. No exceptions to the exemption apply

CHAPTER 12.40 TO THE HBMC REGULATING CAMPING IN PUBLIC
AREAS AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”).
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Within the City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) and other cities in the
surrounding region, and throughout the State of California, there is a significant number
of people experiencing homelessness.
SECTION 2. Homeless persons sometimes camp, sleep, or lie on public or private
property, particularly if they have no other place to sleep.
SECTION 3. Camping and or sleeping in certain areas within the City can create
unsanitary, unhealthy, and dangerous conditions that risk the public health and safety
SECTION 4. The Legislature of the State of California has, in Government Code
sections 65302, 65560, and 65800, conferred upon local governments the authority to
adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of
its residents.
SECTION 5. In April of 2019, the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit,
issued a decision in Martin v. City of Boise (9th Cir. 2019) 920 F.3d 584, which held in part
that “the Eighth Amendment prohibits the imposition of criminal penalties for sitting,
sleeping, or lying outside on public property for homeless individuals who cannot obtain
shelter” (Martin, 920 F.3d at 616.)
Page 144 of 328
Page 2 of 7
SECTION 6. In June of 2024, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in City of Grants
Pass, Oregon v. Johnson (2024) 144 S.Ct. 2202, which struck down the Ninth Circuit’s
opinion in Martin, and authorized cities to regulate camping on public property as one of
the “tools in the policy toolbox” when addressing housing and homelessness.
SECTION 7. Certain City Municipal Code provisions address camping in certain
areas of the City (i.e., in City parks and on the Strand or beach); however, there is no
comprehensive HBMC program that regulates the sleeping and/or camping in the City in
a holistic way.
SECTION 8. The City Council finds that there is a need to regulate the sleeping or
camping in public areas in the City in a singular place in the HBMC to address situations
that create a substantial danger to the City’s residents and visitors.
SECTION 9. Reasonable prohibitions on camping on public property serves the
additional benefit of encouraging the unhoused population to accept shelter when
offered and receive support or treatment helpful in escaping the cycle of homelessness.
SECTION 10. The City Council desires to repeal certain sections of the HBMC and
adopt a new HBMC chapter to regulate the sleeping or camping on public property in the
City in a singular HBMC chapter.
SECTION 11. Section 12.20.240 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby
repealed in its entirety:
“12.20.240 Overnight camping.
No person shall camp on or use for overnight sleeping purposes any portion of the beach
or Strand, or bring a house trailer or similar vehicle onto the beach or Strand, and a

Staff Report No. 25-CMO-020
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVE AND DIRECT THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PUBLIC
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH THE LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH FOR PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES AND FINDING THE SAME EXEMPT
FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
CEQA: Determine that the approval of this agreement is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approve, authorize, and direct the City Manager to enter
a Public Services Contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
(Attachment 1).
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach utilizes the Los Angeles County Public Health Code as the
“Health Code” for the City. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
approached cities within Los Angeles County, including Hermosa Beach, to update its
respective contract for uniformity in public health among cities. Staff recommends City
Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the new contract to continue to utilize the
County’s Department of Public Health, for the County’s Health Officer to act as the City’s
Health Officer, and for the County's Department of Public Health to serve as the City's
Environmental Health Department.
Background:
California law allows contracts between cities and counties for the administration of public
health services, including any ordinances regarding public health, sanitation, and
inspection services, with any such enforcement actions performed by a County Health
Officer. Hermosa Beach has long consented to having Los Angeles County enforce and
observe public health laws, orders, and regulations in the City.
The type of state-mandated public health services performed for cities on behalf of County
Public Health are outlined in Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 1276,
and include the following: public health statistics; communicable disease control;
environmental health and sanitation services; public health laboratory and testing
Page 151 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
services; health education programs; public health nursing services; and offerings in
chronic disease, nutrition, and family planning.
Discussion:
Los Angeles County has public health service contracts with 85 of its 88 cities, excluding
the Cities of Long Beach, Pasadena, and Vernon, who maintain their own municipal public
health departments. Through these contracts, the County’s Health Officer serves as the
local health officer within the contracted jurisdictions, including Hermosa Beach.
The City of Hermosa Beach recognizes the critical role of the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health's health officers in ensuring the effective and comprehensive
enforcement of rules and regulations that safeguard the health and wellbeing of the City's
residents and businesses. To solidify the City's commitment to maintaining this vital
partnership and to ensure the continued provision of these essential services, it is
recommended that the City Council approve the Public Services Contract with the Los
Angeles County Department of Public Health.
The proposed Public Services Contract, upon execution, would establish a contract term
extending through June 30, 2029. Following this initial term, the contract would
automatically renew for consecutive five-year terms, continuing indefinitely, without
further action required by either the City or the County, unless either party exercises its
right to terminate the agreement as stipulated within the contract's provisions. This
automatic renewal mechanism ensures the continuity of essential public health services
while providing a framework for periodic review and adjustment as needed.
Should the City wish to forgo having the County provide health services, the City would
need to establish a full Health Department and would incur millions of dollars in costs for
staffing, equipment, testing services, buildings, and other assorted costs. While a portion
of those expenditures could be recovered through fees charged, the majority would not
be covered, which would result in significant expenditures absorbed the City.
Environmental Review:
The approval of this agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines as it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment (the “common sense” exemption). The approval of the
agreement to allow the County to implement and enforce Title 11 of the Los Angeles
County Healthy Code will have no impact on the environment.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant policies are listed below:
Page 152 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.
Policy:
1.6 Long-term considerations. Prioritize decisions that provide long-term
community benefit and discourage decisions that provide short-term community
benefit but reduce long-term opportunities.
Fiscal Impact:
In general, Los Angeles County Public Health provides the local administration of public
health services to Hermosa Beach and other cities, on a no-cost basis. For entities
requiring a public health permit, the proposed agreement allows the County to collect the
required permit fees from the applicant.
For example, the proposed contract allows Public Health to charge a cost reimbursement
fee to Hermosa Beach, or any city, for two purposes:
1. Inspection of a City-owned or -operated detention facility pursuant to Health and
Safety Code section 101045; and
2. Other public health administration or inspection services that are requested by
Hermosa Beach that are beyond the scope of services under this agreement.
Any costs for inspection services requested by the City would be covered within current
budgets.
There is no fiscal impact resulting from the introduction of the proposed ordinance and
authorization of the Public Services Contract with the Department of Public Health. Any
other public health services that do not require specific fees or permits would continue to
be offered to the City at no cost.

Discussion:
The joint Subcommittee met on November 6, 2024 and February 5, 2025 and prepared a
report recommending the approval of the renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail from
Pier Avenue to 8th Street in honor of late Hermosa Beach residents Geoff Hirsch and
Casey Rohrer and the South Park accessible playground in honor of Casey Rohrer.
(Attachment 1).
Renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
The joint Subcommittee recommends renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor
of Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer, recognizing their significant contributions to
accessibility advocacy.
Page 167 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 7
Geoff Hirsch was a dedicated advocate for accessibility following a stroke that left
him wheelchair-bound. He was a member of the City’s Access Hermosa Working
Group, which was created to advise and support the City in improving accessibility
throughout the City. Through Access Hermosa, Geoff actively pushed for
accessibility improvements, particularly along the Greenbelt.
Casey Rohrer, born with cerebral palsy, was wheelchair-bound. He was a strong
supporter of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project and worked alongside his
mother, Beth Rohrer as part of the Access Hermosa Working Group.
Based on the analysis and recommendations provided by the joint subcommittee, the
Commission recommends City Council adopt a resolution renaming the Greenbelt
Pedestrian Trail in honor of Hirsch and Rohrer (Attachment 2).
Additionally, the Commission recommends City Council approve installing a bench on the
Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail to acknowledge the naming. If approved, the bench would be
placed on the east side of the trail on an existing concrete pad, allowing ADA seating next
to the bench.
A plaque would be placed on the bench with the proposed name of the facility, “The Geoff
Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt Accessible Trail,” and the following text providing
information on the name of the facility.
The Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt Accessible Trail runs from
Pier Avenue to 8th Street. It is named in honor of Hermosa Beach residents,
Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer, in recognition of their advocacy for equal
access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Should Council approve the Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a
celebration for the renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in June 2025, which is
Hirsch’s birthday month.
Renaming of the South Park Accessible Playground
The joint Subcommittee also recommends renaming of the South Park accessible
playground in honor of Casey Rohrer, recognizing his role in advocating for a universally
accessible playground. Rohrer and his mother were instrumental in advocating for the
2016 renovation of South Park, which introduced accessible play features.
Rohrer wished for a park that was accessible to all children. He was not only an inspiration
for the project, but was also involved in designing the universally accessible playground.
Page 168 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7
Based on the analysis and recommendations provided by the joint Subcommittee, the
Commission recommends City Council adopt a resolution renaming the South Park
accessible playground in honor of Rohrer (Attachment 3).
Additionally, the Commission recommends City Council approve installing a
commemorative plaque on an existing bench overlooking the accessible playground to
acknowledge the naming. Installation would occur following the completion of CIP 603
South Park Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements in July 2025, which includes
a concrete pad under the existing bench, which would allow ADA seating next to the
bench.
The plaque would include the proposed name of the facility, “The Casey Rohrer
Accessible Playground,” and the following text providing information on the name of the
facility.
The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground is named in honor of Hermosa
Beach resident, Casey Rohrer, who wished for a park all children could
enjoy and served as an inspiration for the 2016 renovation that provided the
accessible playground.
Following this text would be a quote by Rohrer given at the 2016 South Park Ribbon
Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation: “This playground is great because
all kids can play together now.”
Should Council approve the Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a
celebration for the renaming of the South Park accessible playground in August 2025,
following the anticipated completion date of CIP 603 South Park Slope, Irrigation, and
Landscape Improvements.

DATE: February 13, 2025
TO: Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission
(Commission) and Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Commissioners Ellman and Horowitz, Councilmember Detoy and Mayor Pro
Team Saemann
SUBJECT: Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail and South Park Accessible Playground Renaming
Subcommittee
The joint Commission and City Council sub-committee met on November 6, 2024 to
consider renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor of accessibility advocates. At
its January 14, 2025 meeting, Council approved expanding the subcommittee’s scope to
consider renaming the accessible playground at South Park in honor of Casey Rohrer. The
subcommittee met again on February 5, 2025 to discuss the renaming of both facilities. In
accordance with the Municipal Naming, Monument, and Sponsorship and Policy Guide,
the sub-committee provides the following detailed analysis and recommendations
regarding the renaming of each facility.
Proposed Honorees for the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
Geoff Hirsch served the Hermosa Beach community in many ways. He was a member of
Leadership Hermosa Beach, the Pacific Coast Highway and Aviation Improvement
Committee, and the South Bay Bicycle Coalition. He served as a coach for Hermosa Beach
Little League and as a Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory
Commissioner. As a result of a stroke, Geoff began using a wheelchair and devoted his
time advocating for the beach cities to become more accessible for all. Geoff served as a
leading voice and member of the City’s Access Hermosa Working Group, which was
created to advise and support the City in improving ADA accessibility throughout the City.
Improving accessibility to the Greenbelt was one of the group’s top goals and was one of
the top projects Geoff advocated for.
Casey Rohrer was born with cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair. Cerebral Palsy also
impacted Casey’s voice. When Casey was in second grade, he received a machine that
enabled him to talk. Casey used his voice to serve as an activist for people with disabilities
and to bring awareness of their experiences and the importance of equal access for all
through speeches locally and across the country. In addition, Casey strongly supported his
mother Beth’s work on the Access Hermosa Working Group and the group’s advocacy to
improve accessibility to the Greenbelt.
Proposed Renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
Page 172 of 328
Page 2
The Greenbelt Pedestrian Tail is located from Pier Avenue to 8th Street and provides an
Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accessible trail using decomposed granite (DG)
material.
The subcommittee recommends renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail the Geoff
Hirsch and Casey Rohr Greenbelt Accessible Trail.
The City would install a bench along the accessible trail with a plaque on the bench to
acknowledge the naming that would read: “The Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt
Accessible Trail runs from Pier Avenue to 8th Street. It is named in honor of Hermosa
Beach residents Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer in recognition of their advocacy for equal
access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.”
The location of the bench is indicated in the picture below.
Proposed Honoree for the South Park Accessible Playground
Casey Rohrer wished for a park that was accessible to all children. Casey’s mother, Beth
served alongside a group of volunteers advocating for the renovation of South Park. Casey
Page 173 of 328
Page 3
was involved in designing a universally accessible playground that would ultimately be part
of the renovation completed in 2017. During the South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to
celebrate the park’s renovation, Casey shared “(..) this playground is great because all kids
can play together now.”
Proposed Renaming of the South Park Accessible Playground
The City would install a plaque on an existing bench overlooking the accessible playground
that would read, “The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground is named in honor of Hermosa
Beach resident Casey Rohrer who wished for a park that was accessible to all children and
served as an inspiration for the 2016 renovation that provided the accessible playground.”
Following the description would be a quote by Casey provided at the South Park Ribbon
Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation, “This playground is great because all
kids can play together now.”
The bench is shown in the picture below and sits east of the accessible playground.

Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the Naming or Renaming of a city-owned public
facility or outdoor space, the city will consider whether the proposed name will:
• Engender a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and
values;
• Be appropriate relative to the City Asset’s location and/or history;
• Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations;
• Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued
importance to the city, community, region, or state;
• Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and
enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• Names that have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical
significance associated with Hermosa Beach. In assessing this type of
name, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations
from different bodies such as the Planning Commission or the Hermosa
Beach Historical Society.
• Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.
Guidelines
The City Council will consider requests for the Naming of public facilities and
outdoor space whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city
agencies, Civic Organizations, or by members of the community.
City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named in honor of persons who
have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa Beach
in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is warranted
by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major significance. In
assessing this honor, the City Council will take into consideration the
recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable City
Commission(s) or local interest groups.
City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named after individuals or
families who have donated the land or funds for a capital project, particularly if
such Naming is set forth as a condition of the Donation. Additionally, the City
Council may approve the Naming of city-owned land, buildings or facilities based
on an organization or individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that
purpose. The funds from that contribution may be used for any purpose deemed
appropriate by the City Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of
Page 185 of 328
5
the contribution. The duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the
discretion of the City Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the
contribution approved by the Council.
The names of city-owned land, buildings and facilities shall not normally be
named in honor of individuals when they have previously been named for
another individual. However, if the Council deems it appropriate, they may vary
from the guideline on a case-by-case basis.
When appropriate, parks, trails and facilities can be named after predominant
geographical or physical features of the land. These may include natural features
or man-made features. Different sections of public facilities and outdoor space
may carry names that differ from that of the overall park or facility. This may
include the Naming of individual items in a park or facility such as a meeting room.
However, the guidelines outlined in this guide shall still apply in the selection and
adoption of the name.
Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the Naming of public facilities and outdoor space
will include the following:
1. Submittal Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land, buildings
and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include clear
justification for the request including qualifying information, as outlined
below.
2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the
request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City
Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City
Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation. The
Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a sub-
committee to further assist in the review.
3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present
their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City
Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval,
it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the
individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.

4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the
Naming or Renaming of City-owned land, buildings, and facilities at
regularly scheduled meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final.
a. In the case the request is denied by the Council, no further action is
taken.
b. If the request is approved, staff will begin implementing the Naming
of the public facility or outdoor space through execution of a formal
agreement.
Qualifying Names and Criteria
The review and selection of names will follow an extensive and exhaustive review
of several factors. The following will be considered as part of this review:
• Geographical location of the facility or outdoor space including
descriptive names.
• An outstanding feature of the area (i.e. hill, vegetation).
• Commonly recognized subjects of historical significance such as an event,
person, group, culture, or place.
• A person or group who significantly contributed to the acquisition or
development of the park/facility.
• An individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the
park system as a whole or for the community as a whole.
• A person whose contribution or significant Gift is of a most extraordinary
nature.
• Parks and facilities that are donated to the city can be named by deed
restriction by the Donor.
Additionally, Naming may be considered based on the provision of significant
Funding that underwrites the cost of renovation or construction of city property.
Financial underwriting shall be broadly defined as substantial monetary
contributions that enable the City to acquire, maintain, and/or improve City
Assets. This may include monetary Gifts and/or grants that leverage federal, state
and local Funding for such projects or complete Donation of land.
Renaming
The intent of Naming a public facility or outdoor space is intended for permanent
recognition. Therefore, the Renaming of parks and facilities is strongly
discouraged. Requests for the Renaming or removal of the name of an already
named public facility or outdoor space will be subject to the most careful
examination so as not to diminish the original justification for the name or discount
the value of the prior contributors. Notwithstanding the preceding language, and
Page 187 of 328

unless restricted by an agreement with a Donor, City Council has complete
discretion to remove a name or rename a property
MONUMENTS, STATUES + PUBLIC ART
Purpose
To establish formal policies as a guide to the City
Council in considering the placement of a
Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned
land including city facilities and outdoor spaces;
whether and under what circumstances a
desired location would be best suited for the
placement of a Statue, Monument and/or
public art in honor of an individual or family; and
the duration of this placement of a Statue,
Monument and/or public art.
Memorial park benches are not included as part of this policy. These are
administered by the Public Works Department and should be contacted directly
for further details. The Community Development Department oversees
placement of Monuments, Statues and public art on private property.
Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art
on city-owned land including City facilities and outdoor spaces, the city will
evaluate whether the Monument or public art piece:
• Engenders a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and
values;
Page 188 of 328
8
• Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations;
• Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued
importance to the city, community, region, state, or nation;
• Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and
enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• The location of the Monument, Statue or public art piece is significant in
some measurable way to the individual or image depicted;
• The individual or image depicted in the art piece have recognizable
geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with
Hermosa Beach. In assessing this type of name, the City Council will take
into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the
Planning Commission or the Hermosa Beach Historical Society.
• Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.
Guidelines
The City Council will consider placement of Statues, Monuments or public art
whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city agencies, Civic
Organizations, or by members of the community.
Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art should have recognizable
geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa
Beach. In assessing this placement location, the City Council will take into
consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable
City Commission(s) or local interest groups. Placement may be in honor of persons
who have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa
Beach in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is
warranted by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major
significance.
Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art in honor of a deceased person
shall generally not take place until after a minimum of one-year waiting period
unless the City Council determines that there are overriding considerations
deviating from this policy guideline. This policy guideline is not intended in any
way to reflect on the merits of any deceased individual who may have been a
prominent civic leader. However, it is felt appropriate to establish some type of
waiting period to ensure that an individual’s accomplishments or contributions will
stand the test of time; and that a decision shall not be made on an emotional
basis immediately following a person’s death.
Page 189 of 328
9
A Statue and/or Monument may be named after individuals or families who have
donated the land or funds for the capital project, particularly if such Naming is set
forth as a condition of the Donation. The City Council may approve the
placement of a Statue and/or Monument based on an organization or
individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that purpose. The funds from that
contribution may be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by the City
Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of the contribution. The
duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City
Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the contribution approved by
the Council.
Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art
on city-owned land including city facilities and outdoor spaces will include the
following:
1. Submittal of Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land,
buildings and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include
clear justification for the request including qualifying information, as
outlined below.
2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the
request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City
Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City
Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation. The
Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a sub-
committee to further assist in the review.
3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present
their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City
Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval,
it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the
individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.
4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the
placement of a Statue, Monument or public art on city-owned land
including city facilities and outdoor spaces at regularly scheduled
meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final.

Re: Municipal Matters Item-17.a (HB Council Meeting, Tuesday, March 25, 2025)
Councilmembers:
NOTE: The title of this item appears incorrect. The Parks & Recreation Commission
specially stated that this was to be only the naming of the “accessibility” decomposed-
granite section, not the entire Greenbelt Pedestrian trail, and only as between Pier
Avenue and 8th Street. Why the agenda has not better, and more correctly titled the
item is unfortunate and misleading to the public.
Now, in my view, the naming of city locations and things after individuals or events should be
accomplished only under very special circumstances and then not just railroaded through.
This naming certainly does not qualify, notwithstanding the incredibly controversial older
individual’s name proposed, nor the younger person’s name to be tainted by association with
respect to the accessibility trail portion of this item. The town should not become more of a
cemetery/memorial park with such inane tributes.
Hundreds have contributed as much or more without fanfare over the decades, without
significant and in most cases any acknowledgement what-so-ever.
Even the idea of having someone pay for the right to have theirs or other’s name placed on
something is kind of obscene.
If people desires to give money or other to receive a tax right-off, why do they then disgrace
their gift by demanding their name to be on, i.e., a hospital, park, or whatever they may make
a gift for?
Hermosa Beach Parks & Recreation Commissioner E. Thomas Moroney said it best when
prior to the commission voting their recommendation.
I urge everyone to listen to Commissioner Moroney’s brief statement using the
following direct YouTube link, which will begin at his comments regarding the naming
of the decomposed-granite (DG) paved section of Greenbelt. Tap or click the
following link;
https://youtu.be/00E2Rybeu3g?t=6161
Also, the eComments submitted by residents Rick Koenig and Caroline Petty below as
posted prior to this comment I believe state the situation very well.
Council, you would best not just rubber-stamp this item. The public was not meaningfully
involved in this entire naming process from what I can see. The public very much fought for,
voted for, and paid for the Greenbelt. It’s not to be frittered away as such, so willy-nilly
cavalierly.
Most Respectfully,
Howard Lee - Resident, who was there.

Staff Report No. 25-AS-029
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
MIDYEAR BUDGET REVIEW FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the revisions to estimated revenue, appropriations, budget transfers, and
fund balances as shown herein and in the attached Projected Change in Financial
Position (Attachment 1) and the Midyear Budget Amendment (Attachment 2);
2. Transfer $553,832 of unspent funds from the Midyear Budget Review 2024–25
from the unassigned fund balance category to the assigned fund balance category;
and
3. Receive and file the City Council Travel Summary (Attachment 3).
Executive Summary:
The following presents the Fiscal Year 2024–25 Midyear budget review. With an
estimated General Fund revenue decrease of $119,379, an overall reduction of
expenditures of $604,796, and adjustments to the General Fund’s fund balance reserves,
$553,832 is available in the General Fund. Staff recommends assigning the balance of
$553,832 remaining in the General Fund after midyear to the Fiscal Year 2025–26
Budget. Recommendations regarding the use of those funds will be made at that time.
Background:
The City has conducted an annual Midyear Budget Review since fiscal year 1981–82. It
is customary to conduct a thorough analysis of all estimated revenues and appropriations
at the end of the first six months of the fiscal year. All revisions would be recorded as of
January 31, 2025 so that midyear revisions for revenue and appropriations would reflect
in the 2024–25 Budget worksheets used for preparation of the 2025–26 Budget.
City Council requested a City Council Conference/Travel Summary in 2014–15 and it
continues to be provided as an information item (Attachment 3).
At its June 11, 2024 meeting, Council approved and adopted the Fiscal Year 2024–25
budget. Staff previously recommended Council approve transfers of 2023–24 unspent
funds in the General Fund at year end to the Insurance Fund, if needed, to restore the
Page 227 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 10
fund balance to $3.0 million and the transfer of any remaining funds to the Capital
Improvement Fund for future Capital Improvement Project (CIP) needs. Staff performed
a transfer of $425,571 to the Insurance Fund and $2,703,151 to the Capital Improvement
Fund at 2023–24 year end which is reflected in the beginning fund balances.

Transfers-in $ 439,939 $ - $ 439,939
It is requested that the City’s General Fund estimated revenue budget be decreased by
$119,379. The following is a brief description of the changes recommended:
Property Taxes
The estimate for overall property tax revenue increased by 1.4 percent. The midyear
estimates for the secured portion of the property tax or “real property”, which is land and
personal property located upon that property of the same owner is 0.45 percent over the
original estimate. The new estimate of Current Year Secured is $20,403,391.
Sales Taxes
The recommended $173,000 decrease in Sales Taxes reflects the most recent estimates
received from HdL Companies, the City’s sales tax consultant. Although Restaurants and
Hotels are the largest industry group for sales tax in Hermosa Beach, decreases are
primarily due to lower projected State and County Pool and Auto Sales tax estimates.
Page 228 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 10
Utility User Tax (UUT)
UUT is recommended to decrease 13.0 percent from the original budget. This is a more
conservative approach based on projected decreases to Natural Gas, Wired Telecom,
and Cable TV UUT revenue as residents “cut the cord” in favor of more cost-effective
wireless telecom services and continue switching from Cable TV to streaming for their
video services.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
TOT receipts for the first half (through November) are consistent with the original budget,
therefore no change is recommended.
Other Taxes
The small decrease of $9,982 is projected based on historical analysis of the Prop 172
Sales and Use Tax.
Licenses & Permits
This category increased by 37.0 percent, primarily due to an increase in building permits.
The revised is based on actual building permit revenues from the first half of the fiscal
year.
Fines and Forfeitures
The recommended $114,015 decrease is due to a decrease in parking citations issued in
the first half of the year. The decrease is due to previous staffing vacancies and City
parking meters now accepting credit cards and options to “pay by phone”.
Use of Money & Property
This net decrease of $95,621 is due to a decrease in interest rates offset by a projected
$15,000 increase in planned Community Resources Special Events.
Intergovernmental/State
This category increased by 27.7 percent due to estimated reimbursement claims for
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) highway maintenance from the State.
Current Service Charges
The major decrease for this category is plan-check fees based on activity from the first
half of the year. There are many accounts in this category, some increases and some
decreases. Police Towing fees are expected to increase based on activity from the first
half of the year.
Other Revenue
This category increased by $50,000 due to a one-time reimbursement by Blue Shield who
was the City’s prior employee health insurance provider.

Transfers-out $ 2,535,025 $ - $ 2,535,025
Staff recommends decreasing the City’s General Fund expenditures by $604,796. The
reduction is related to recognition of salary and employee benefit savings associated with
position vacancies and from switching to a new health insurance provider on January 1,
2025.
Legislative
Slight decrease due to health enrollment changes for Calendar Year 2025.
Management Support
Slight increase of approximately $24,800 to cover the annual leave cash outs due to the
departures of the prior Human Resources Manager and Administrative Services Director
that occurred earlier in the fiscal year.
Management Support—Prospective Expenditures
Staff recommends replenishing the prospective expenditures for $160,000 to cover
unanticipated expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. The prospective expenditures
were originally budgeted at $239,982 but were primarily used this fiscal year to cover the
Council approved CSG Consultant and Civic Solutions contract amendments.
Public Safety—Police
This budget reflects a decrease of $72,000 to the overtime budget. Since the department
is fully staffed, overtime is projected to decrease. The City will also use currently budgeted
grant funds for overtime costs in the Grants Fund.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 10
Staff also recommends an adjustment for a net decrease of approximately $205,000 to
the Police salaries and benefits. The net decrease is to reflect current staffing after the
original adopted budgeted department management restructuring and also reduction in
benefit costs due to switching to the new health insurance provider offset by an increase
in leave cash outs.
The decreases are offset by an increase in contract services. Staff recommends
appropriating $33,642 to fund the $63,642 increase in the City share of the regional radio
network costs with the Interoperability Network of the South Bay Joint Powers Authority
(INSB). The $30,000 remainder of the INSB costs would be funded by the 715 Equipment
Replacement Fund. There is also an increase of $3,500 to the safety gear account to
purchase rain jackets for police officers.
For the Community Services division, staff recommends a decrease of approximately
$156,000 in salaries and benefits. The decrease is to recognize $89,000 of salary savings
due to vacancies and $67,000 for two additional part-time Community Services Officer
positions budgeted but not filled until February 2025.
Public Works
Staff recommends a decrease of approximately $100,000. Salaries and benefits are
recommended to decrease approximately $140,000 to recognize the vacancies of the
Management Analyst, the City Engineer, and part-time interns. This decrease is offset by
an approximate $40,000 increase to the Downtown Business Area Enhancement division
3301 as the original estimated costs were lower than actual per the new cleaning contract
with Athens Services.
Community Development
This budget decrease of approximately $290,000 reflects salary savings due to the
vacancies in the Community Development Director and Assistant Planner positions. The
budget decrease is net of staff requesting $7,727 to contract services for the Housing
Element update.
Parks/Recreation (Community Resources)
The slight decrease of $4,796 is to recognize a reduction in health enrollment changes
and salary savings due to both the Special Events and Filming Coordinator and the Lead
Special Events coordinator budgeted but staffed part way through the fiscal year. This is
offset by an increase to the retirement budget to more accurately reflect departmental
retirement costs.
The budget decrease is net of staff requesting an additional $2,400 to the equipment
budget for two laptops for the Senior Recreation Supervisor and Special Events Filming
team.
Page 231 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 10
Public, Educational, and Governmental Access (PEG) Funds
Staff requests an additional $15,000 from PEG funds to replace the air conditioning in the
Council Chambers A/V room. This is the Council Chambers component of the combined
$60,000 Air Conditioning replacement at both the Council Chambers and Police
Department.
Transfers In/Transfers Out
Staff recommends no changes to the budgeted transfers in and transfers out. Although
the projected ending fund balance for the Insurance Fund is approximately $3.5 million
with the budgeted transfer, staff recommends no changes due to the uncertainty of
insurance claims for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Available Funds
After the recommended budget revisions, $553,832 is available in the General Fund. Staff
recommends assigning the balance of $553,832 for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025–26
budget process. Recommendations would be made at that time regarding the use of
those funds.
Other Funds:
Adjustments to both estimated revenues and appropriations are proposed for the City’s
other funds (excluding the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) fund, which will be
addressed in the following section). Revenue adjustments to other funds are due to a
decrease in interest revenue associated with a decrease in interest rates. Appropriation
adjustments are due to updated salary and benefit cost allocations at other funds where
budgeted.
The major adjustments are explained below.
115 State Gas Tax Fund
Staff is reclassing $175,000 of CIP 105 Annual Street Improvements from the Tyco Fund
to the Gas Tax Fund.
116 Transportation Development Act (TDA) 3 SB 821 Fund
Staff is creating a new fund to record the revenue and expenditures associated with TDA
Article 3. TDA Article 3, or SB 821, is a Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities program funded
through a ¼ cent of the general sales tax collected statewide. The City receives the
revenue from LA Metro transportation agency as a pass through.
In prior years, this was previously recorded within the State Gas Tax Fund. Staff is
reclassing previously budgeted CIP 193 Pedestrian Crossing Safety Improvements of
$10,000 in the State Gas Tax fund and $8,000 in the Measure R fund to the new TDA
Article 3 Fund for a total of $18,000.
Page 232 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 10
122 Tyco Fund
Staff is releasing approximately $282,000 of CIP 692 14th Street Beach Restroom Project
back to the Tyco Fund as there is sufficient budget in the Tyco Fund and other funds to
complete the project. The remainder adjustment is primarily due to the reclass of CIP 105
Annual Street Improvement budget to the Gas Tax Fund.
125 Parks/Rec Facility Tax Fund
Staff is recommending releasing approximately $43,000 of CIP 538 Citywide Park Master
Plan project budget back to the fund since the project was completed.
150 Grants Fund
The revenue estimate and offsetting appropriations are updated to increase $655,480.
The increases are comprised of a $529,000 RPOSD (Los Angeles County Regional Park
and Open Space District) grant awarded to the City to fund and reimburse for CIP 502
Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project.
Staff is also formally appropriating the Opioid Settlement Distribution Funds to the Beach
Cities Health District (BCHD) for approximately $145,000 to provide substance abuse and
opioid remediation services. This was previously approved by Council on November 23,
2021 and the agreement with BCHD was recently finalized in December 2024. Staff is
also decreasing the ongoing Mobile Mental Heath Grant budget by $18,749 as prior year
actual grant expenditures were more than budgeted.
170 Asset Forfeiture
Staff is planning to spend approximately $60,000 from this fund to fund a cold case for
$8,500 and to purchase Police Department firearms for approximately $51,000.
190 RTI Undersea Cable Fund & 191 Tidelands Undersea Cable Fund
The installation of the 4th easement cable has been delayed to the next 2026 fiscal year.
Staff is eliminating the estimated easement cable revenue initially budgeted for $253,000
and $184,000 in the RTI Undersea and RTI Tideland funds respectively. Staff is
recommending moving $95,000 of the CIP 699 Parking Structure Lot C Improvement
project to the 191 RTI Tidelands Undersea Cable fund.
705 Insurance Fund
Staff recommends reducing the salary and benefit budget by $33,460 due to the Human
Resources Manager being vacant for seven months.
Page 233 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 10
715 Equipment Replacement Fund
Staff is requesting an additional $92,111 of appropriations. This is a combination of
$45,000 to replace the Police Department air conditioning unit, $3,100 to equip all patrol
vehicles with first aid kits, and $30,000 of the increase in the regional radio network INSB
costs. Staff would use previously assigned reserve of “Police Department Radio
Equipment / South Bay Interoperability Project” to fund the INSB costs as the funds were
previously set aside for a physical location move that has since been cancelled.
Staff is also requesting an additional $30,000 to purchase two replacement Community
Services vehicles due to the increase in vehicle prices. The replacement vehicles were
previously approved in the adopted FY 2024–25 budget.
These increases are offset by approximately $16,000 in salary and benefit savings.
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
The originally adopted CIP budget for FY 2024–25 was $28,444,695, consisting of 38
projects that are either directly charged to its funding source or to the Capital Improvement
Project Fund 301.
The total net change to the Capital Improvement Fund is a decrease of $65,665. This is
due to the actual costs of completed CIP projects being lower than budgeted and City
staff finding alternative funding sources such as grants to fund CIP projects. The release
of project budgets frees up funding for necessary City projects as shown below.
In this midyear budget review, the budgets for the following CIP projects are
recommended to be released back to the CIP fund.
502 Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
Staff recommends releasing $529,000 back to the CIP fund, initially budgeted for
$737,040. City staff found an alternative funding source, the RPOSD (Los Angeles County
Regional Park and Open Space District) grant to fund and reimburse the City for the
Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project.
538 Citywide Park Master Plan
Staff recommends releasing $11,750 back to the CIP fund as the project was completed.
620 City Wide Roof Repair
Staff recommends releasing $190,000 back to the CIP fund, initially budgeted for
$217,496. Approximately $27,000 is only needed to complete the Citywide roof repair
project which means $190,000 can be released back to the CIP fund for future projects.
Page 234 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 10
In this midyear budget review, appropriations are recommended from the CIP fund for
the following projects.
630 Center Gas Line
Staff recommends appropriating $350,000 to replace leaking Community Center natural
gas lines. These lines are to restore natural gas lines used for heating and other
applications.
633 Base 3 Electrical Repairs
Staff recommends appropriating $300,000 to provide electrical upgrades and repairs to
the City Base 3 building for reopening due to the facility fire that occurred last October
2024.
696 Police Station Improvements
Staff recommends appropriating $18,000 as additional funds are needed to purchase and
install security cameras and other storage equipment.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa, the City’s long-range planning document, was adopted by the City
Council in August 2017, and envisions a future where “Hermosa Beach is the small town
others aspire to be; a place where our beach culture, strong sense of community, and
commitment to sustainability intersect.” One of the guiding principles to achieve the vision
is to make decisions and take actions that help contribute to the City’s economic and
fiscal stability.
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant policies are listed below:
Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.
Policies:
1.1 Open meetings. Maintain the community’s trust by holding meetings in
which decisions are being made, that are open and available for all community
members to attend, participate, or view remotely.
Infrastructure Element
Goal 1. Infrastructure systems are functional, safe, and well maintained.
Policy:
1.2 Priority investments. Use City Council established priorities and the
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to identify and allocate funding for
projects identified in the infrastructure plan.
Page 235 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 10 of 10
Public Safety Element
Goal 5. High quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and
visitors.
Policy:
5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public
safety resources and provide desired levels of response, staffing, and
protection within the community.
Fiscal Impact:
Midyear budget revisions reduce revenue estimates in the General Fund by $119,379 and
reduce appropriations by $604,796. After adjustments to the adjustments to the General
Fund’s fund balance reserves, $553,832 is available in the General Fund.

Staff Report No. 25-CA-007
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
REPORT ON THE CITY’S REGULATION OF SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS
CEQA: This report is not a “project” under CEQA. In the alternative, this report falls
within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section
15061(b)(3).
(City Attorney Patrick Donegan)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive a report on the City’s short-term vacation rental
ordinance and provide direction, if so desired.
Executive Summary:
As requested by the City Council at its February 25, 2025 meeting, staff presents this
report regarding the City’s current regulations on short-term vacation rentals (STVRs).
Additional information on options to possibly allow short-term rental use for owner
occupied residences is also provided and a discussion on appeals of recent
administrative citations issued under the City STVR’s rules will be presented.
Background:
At its February 25, 2025 meeting, Mayor Francois requested, and Councilmember
Keegan supported, a future agenda item to discuss the City’s STVR regulations and
related information regarding possible amendments to allow STVR usage in certain
circumstances and an update on recent appeals of administrative citations issued under
the City’s STVR rules. At its March 11, 2025 meeting, Council continued the item to the
March 25, 2025 City Council meeting.
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
February 25, 2025 Under tentative future agenda items, Mayor Francois
requested, and Councilmember Keegan supported, a future
agenda item regarding STVRs.
March 11, 2025 Item was continued to the March 25, 2025 City Council
meeting.
Page 261 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Discussion:
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) section 17.04.040 defines short- term vacation
rental to mean:
the rental of a residential dwelling, a dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for
compensation by way of a rental agreement, lease, license or any other means,
whether oral or written to a person or group of persons for temporary overnight
accommodations for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days. Short-term
vacation rentals are also known as "short-term vacation rental" and "vacation
rentals."
HBMC section 17.42.180 contains the substantive regulations regarding STVR use in the
City. HBMC section 17.42.180 prohibits STVR use in the City except in nonconforming
residential units in the following zones in the City: C-2; C-3; SPA 7, SPA 8, and SPA 11.
STVR use is prohibited in all areas of the City, including all residential zones, except for
certain existing nonconforming residential dwellings in certain commercial zones in the
City. Subsection (A) of section 17.42.180 requires the application and issuance of a permit
prior to any STVR use with certain operational and inspection requirements. There are
approximately 145 dwelling units in the aforementioned commercial zones that could be
eligible for STVR use provided a permit is applied for and issued. There are 10 active
business licenses for approximately 20 STVRs in the City.
The advertisement of STVRs in violation of the above restrictions is also prohibited.
Some jurisdictions (San Francisco, West Hollywood, etc.), are more permissive in
allowing STVRs in all or more parts of its respective jurisdictions, including residential
zones, by those offering rooms or portions of their homes/properties for STVR use
provided it is the “primary residence” of the natural person offering the STVR use. If an
individual resident demonstrates the property at issue is their “primary residence” then
they are permitted to use that property for a STVR use provided a permit is obtained and
the property is operated consistent with the applicable standards. “Primary residence”
means any residential unit that the owner or leaseholder resides in for at least two
hundred seventy days per year and someone can only have a single primary residence.
San Francisco requires someone to reside in the unit for at least 60 days prior to any
STVR use.
Any change to the City’s STVR rules (which are located in the City’s Zoning Ordinance)
would require consideration and recommendation by the Planning Commission prior to
any formal City Council action.
Environmental Review:
This discussion is not a “project” subject to CEQA” because it has no potential to result in
either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
Page 262 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
(State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(a).) In the alternative, the discussion falls within the
“common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3),
which exempts activity from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.
Policy:
1.4 Consensus oriented. Strive to utilize a consensus-oriented decision-making
process.
Goal 2 The community is active and engaged in decision-making processes.
Policy:
2.6 Responsive to community needs. Continue to be responsive to community
inquiries, providing public information and recording feedback from community
interactions.
Land Use Element
Goal 2 Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and
abilities, and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles.
Policy:
2.6 Neighborhood preservation. Preserve and enhance the quality of residential
neighborhoods by avoiding or abating the intrusion of disruptive, nonconforming
buildings and uses
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
Attachment:
None

You don't often get email from jimnholtz@gmail.com. Learn why this is important
Dear Hermosa Beach City Council Members,
I am wri ng to update my previous comments submi ed for the postponed STVR agenda item.
As a former short-term vaca on rental (STVR) operator in Hermosa Beach prior to the 2016 ban, I have
seen firsthand the value a well-regulated STVR program brings to both residents and visitors.
While the recent discussion on poten ally allowing only owner-occupied/shared rentals outside the
commercial zone is a step, I believe such a narrow approach risks falling short of the standards expected
by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and our own community.
I respec ully urge the Council to consider a broader, more balanced policy.
1. The Coastal Commission’s Rejec on of Owner-Occupied-Only Policies
• The CCC has consistently rejected policies that restrict STVRs to owner-occupied/shared models.
• Malibu: The CCC staff recommended denial of Malibu’s owner-only STVR ordinance, ci ng
unacceptable limita ons on visitor access.
• Laguna Beach: The CCC intervened to block a sweeping ban, instead requiring the city to allow
STVRs with reasonable regula on.
• Del Mar: Strict STVR limits were overturned by the CCC because they undermined visitor
accommoda ons and beach access.
Implemen ng a similar owner-only model in Hermosa Beach invites CCC rejec on, delays LCP
cer fica on, and prolongs uncertainty for residents.
2. Impact on Local Events and Tourism
• The STVR ban has contributed to the departure of long-standing community events.
• Volleyball tournaments, surf camps, and youth programs once rooted in Hermosa now take place in
neighboring ci es that allow STVRs.
• Families seeking full-home lodging with kitchens and privacy are rou nely turned away due to lack
of op ons, now choosing Manha an Beach instead.
3. Misconcep ons About STVR Guests
Page 270 of 328
• Many assume STVR guests are disrup ve par ers, but in reality, they are o en your own extended
families and friends.
• They are parents, re rees, and visi ng rela ves who prefer the comfort of a home environment.
• Guests value:
• Kitchens to prepare meals
• Laundry for extended stays
• Separa on from bar zones for young children’s safety
Responsible STVR hosts screen guests carefully and follow strict rules to avoid disturbances.
4. Limita ons and Risks of Owner-Occupied Rentals
• Owner-occupied rentals may well suit some travelers, but they fall short for many.
• Privacy concerns are real:
• Imagine a mother asking her young daughter to sleep in a room next to a homeowner they met
hours ago.
• Many parents are understandably uncomfortable with this arrangement.
• Larger families or groups cannot be accommodated in a shared space or by booking mul ple hotel
rooms far from one another.
• Owner-shared homes limit autonomy, space, and comfort—essen al for family gatherings, reunions,
and end-of-life visits.
5. Proposed Solu on: Allow STVRs East of Hermosa Avenue
• Allow regulated STVRs east of Hermosa Avenue under the same rules as commercial zones:
• Permi ng
• Inspec ons
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
• Density caps (e.g., X number per block)
• This respects residen al neighborhoods while providing diverse lodging op ons.
• The Strand is already home to vibrant ac vity and hospitality—regulated STVRs are consistent with
that environment.
6. Financial Benefits of a Controlled STVR Program
• A modest STVR cap (e.g., 2% of Coastal Zone households) could generate over $1.5 million annually.
• Revenue from TOT and permit fees could:
• Reopen Fire Sta on #2
• Enhance public safety
• Support local services and businesses
• This would be achieved without increasing property taxes or cu ng services elsewhere.
7. Precedent from Imperial Beach
• Imperial Beach created a zoning map that allows STVRs on its version of The Strand (Seacoast Drive).
• Their plan was a compromise—STVRs were allowed directly on the coast along Seacoast Drive, while
homes further inland in the Coastal Zone, where the character is more residen al, were restricted.
• This compromise received CCC approval and offers a model Hermosa can follow.
8. Why Owner-Occupied STVRs Are Not Enough
• Owner-occupied/shared rentals also have value.
• They appeal to solo travelers, interna onal students, budget tourists, ar sts, and others who want a
Page 271 of 328
local experience without high hotel costs.
• But if this is the only legal op on beyond hotels, Hermosa Beach fails to meet its obliga ons.
• Diverse travelers need diverse lodging:
• Mul -genera onal families
• Reunions and milestone celebra ons
• Families caring for aging rela ves or small children
• Out-of-town guests returning for funerals, weddings, or holidays
• A hotel room cannot subs tute for a full home:
• No kitchen for shared meals or less expensive meals.
• No living room for family bonding
• No layout that allows a parent to sleep under the same roof near their children
• These visitors are not strangers.
• They are your families and your friends.
• They are your college roommate visi ng with his kids.
• They are your cousin coming to help bury a loved one.
• They are your grandchildren wan ng to see where their parents grew up.
• The CCC’s role is not to allow minimal access for a narrow segment of travelers.
It is to guarantee diverse, affordable, and meaningful access to California’s coast—for everyone.
Hermosa Beach cannot meet that standard through hotels and home-sharing alone.
• Half-measures won’t survive CCC review, and they won’t serve the public we are called to support.
Conclusion
A narrow STVR model based solely on owner-occupied/shared rentals will not provide true access to the
coast, and risks CCC rejec on.
I urge the Council to adopt a broader solu on that welcomes families, maintains neighborhood
character, and earns CCC support.
Let Hermosa Beach be a leader in coastal access—not a cau onary tale.
Thank you for your me and considera on.
Sincerely,
Jim Holtz

Hermosa Beach (25STCP00891)); Item 17.d: Reports on STRs
Honorable Mayor Francois, Members of the City Council:
For the reasons set forth in our writ petition and complaint served on the city in the above-referenced
legal action on March 10, 2025 (attached), on behalf of Todd Koerner, Gary Ashe, another Angel Law
client and Hermosa Beach resident and taxpayer who is currently appealing yet another administrative
citation for offering short-term rentals (STRs) in his residential property in the coastal zone (see attached
appeal), and on behalf of all other similarly situated property owners, as well as their hosts and the short-
term renters excluded from the residential zones of the city of Hermosa Beach, I request that in the
pending litigation you will confer on with your city attorney at 5:00 p.m., you order an immediate stay of
the city’s Code Enforcement Division’s enforcement of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) section
Page 273 of 328
17.42.180, to the extent it bans STRs in the residential zones of the California coastal zone area that lies
within Hermosa Beach’s incorporated territory.
Such stay or suspension of code enforcement’s crackdown on STRs can be legally accomplished by
giving direction to your city attorney to stipulate with us in court to a stay of enforcement of HBMC
section 17.42.180 in the residential zones within the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area, pending
submittal by the city to the California Coastal Commission, and approval by the Coastal Commission, of
reasonable STR regulations, compliant with the city’s public duties under the public access and
recreation policies of the California Coastal Act and other applicable federal and state constitutional and
statutory requirements.
Alternatively, should you be unwilling to take this course of action, a course of action we do request that
you take, we ask that at a minimum you direct your city attorney to stipulate with us in court to a
preliminary injunction by which the city would refrain from enforcing the STR ban of HBMC section
17.42.180 in the residential zones within the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area, pending entry of
judgment in this case.
Either course of action would substantially reduce the city’s exposure to significant liabilities should we
prevail in this case.
Sincerely,

SUMMARY OF PLEADING: KEY FACTS AND GROUNDS FOR JUDICIAL RELIEF
1. Petitioners/Plaintiffs Thomas and Todd Koerner (collectively Petitioners), father and
son, co-own a single-family home in the county of Los Angeles’s South Bay area. Located at 237
Manhattan Avenue in the city of Hermosa Beach (City or Hermosa Beach), the house is 0.1 miles from
“The Strand,” an iconic South Bay beachfront pathway and wide, sandy beach stretching for miles along
the Pacific Ocean in the City and its neighbor to the north, the city of Manhattan Beach.
2. The Koerner property lies within the legislatively authorized boundaries of the California
coastal zone. Almost half of the City’s densely populated incorporated territory (1.4 square miles) is in
the coastal zone.
3. Petitioner Todd Koerner has been living in the Manhattan Avenue home for many years.
His 93-year-old father resides in Virginia. The house has 1,995 ft2 of finished floor space and sits on a
3,006 ft2 lot in the City’s Multiple-Family Residential zone. Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code (HBMC), which contains the City’s zoning classifications and regulations, designates this zone as
the “R-3” zone. Residential buildings containing multiple dwellings, single-family dwellings, as well as
single room occupancy facilities with up to six units are allowed in the R-3 zone. (HBMC, § 17.16.010.)
In 2012, Todd began to offer a room in his house -- literally, “a room near the beach” (Keen v. City of
Manhattan Beach (2022) 77 Cal.App.5th 142, 144 (Keen) -- as a short-term rental. Todd has been
hosting short-term renters in his home year after year, continuously and without complaint from the City
or neighbors, from 2012 to this day.
4. The terms “short-term rental,” “STR,” “short-term vacation rental,” and “STVR”
generally are used for the rental of a residential dwelling or a room for no more than 30 consecutive
calendar days. STRs are a vital coastal access resource in the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area. They
expand visitor-serving overnight lodging options for individuals and families of all income levels and
ages, including individuals and families from middle- and low-income inland communities, as well as
historically disadvantaged inland communities of color who have been unable to share in the benefits of
coastal recreation. (See, e.g, García & Baltodano, Free the Beach! Public Access, Equal Justice, and the
California Coast (2005) 2 Stan. J. C.R. & C.L. 143, available at
<https://www.coastal.ca.gov/coastalvoices/resources/StanfordFreetheBeach.pdf> [as of Mar. 7, 2025].)
5. What precipitated the instant action is an administrative citation issued by the City’s
Code Enforcement Division (Code Enforcement) slapping Petitioners with a $2,500 fine for advertising
online the private guest room in their Manhattan Avenue property for STRs. Petitioners are not the only
recipients of such a citation. Over the past year, the City’s code enforcement officials, ignoring state law
(the City’s public duties under the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Coastal Act; Pub. Resources Code,

§ 30000 et seq.)), spurred into action by members of the Hermosa Beach City Council (City Council)
holding hostile social attitudes towards short-term renters and their hosts, under color of local law (a
City ban on STRs codified in HBMC section 17.42.180 (the STR Ban or § 17.42.180)), have engaged,
and remain engaged, in zealous efforts to shut down all STRs in the residentially zoned areas of the
City’s incorporated territory located in the California coastal zone.
6. According to AirDNA, a company offering STR data and analytics, in late 2023,
Hermosa Beach had approximately 200 STRs, averaging $395 per night. The majority of STRs in the
City are in the California coastal zone. On December 12, 2023, the director of the City’s Community
Development Department (CDD), Carrie Tai, reportedly informed the City Council that 150 STRs were
then still being advertised on STR websites. (Cody, Hermosa Beach Council tightens ban on short term
vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods, Easy Reader (Dec. 16, 2023), available at
<https://easyreadernews.com/council-tightens-illegal-rentals-law/> [as of Mar. 7, 2025].) Tai informed
the council that enforcing the STR Ban was difficult, among other things, because there are residences
that are advertised for minimum stays of 30 days but result in actual STR bookings.
7. On January 23, 2024, to close this perceived loophole, the City Council passed Ordinance
No. 24-1473, adding the following language to § 17.42.180: “In the event that an advertisement has
conflicting information regarding a prohibited rental, the advertisement for the shorter amount of time
shall control.” The council also amended the definition of the term “advertisement” as used in
§ 17.42.280, to “expand prohibited postings to include more modern methods of advertisement.”
(<https://hermosabeach.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6447342&GUID=E921E9C8-EA23-
4A72-8CD6-B66B2BD4295A> [as of Mar. 7, 2025].) According to the staff report recommending this
change, presented to the City Council on December 12, 2023, “websites offering STVR stays, often use
calendar functions or scheduling widgets to allow user [sic] to choose days more efficiently.” (Id.)
8. Petitioners are informed and believe that on or about December 12, 2023, CDD Director
Tai further informed the City Council that with the help of Host Compliance, a vendor the City
contracted to assist with STR citations, Code Enforcement was issuing 10 to 12 citations monthly.
(Cody, Hermosa Beach Council tightens ban on short term vacation rentals in residential
neighborhoods, supra.)
9. On April 9, 2024, then, in a further effort to deter and eliminate STRs from Hermosa
Beach, the City Council voted to hike the fines for future STR violations to $5,000, $10,000, and
$20,000 for the first, second, and third violation, respectively. In the words of councilmember Rob
Saemann, “we need to do what we need to do to stop it.” (Apr. 9, 2024 City Council Hearing Video at
2:41:46, available at <https://hermosabeach.granicus.com/player/clip/6770?view_id=6&redirect=true>

[as of Mar. 7, 2024].) At the time, the council was informed by CDD Director Tai that at that point in
fiscal year 2023-24, Code Enforcement had issued 45 citations for violation of the STR Ban. (Id., at
2:18:35.)
10. Before long, Petitioners became victims of the City’s clampdown on STRs. On
September 26, 2024, Code Enforcement issued Administrative Citation No. AC528508 (the “Citation”)
to Petitioners. The Citation states: “This is in reference to the advertisement(s)
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/376740, offering your property for rent for less than thirty (30)
consecutive days. All short-term rentals are prohibited at your property.” Petitioners were fined in the
amount of $2,500. The Citation threatened fines of $5,000 for a second violation of the local STR ban,
and $7,500 for a third one.
11. Code Enforcement issued the Citation with full knowledge of two decisions made by City
hearing officer and attorney Steve Napolitano just weeks earlier, on August 1 and August 20, 2024,
dismissing two administrative citations issued against similarly situated property owners for violations
of the STR Ban, on the ground that the ban is unenforceable in the California coastal zone under the
Coastal Act’s public coastal access requirements and interpretative caselaw, namely, the published
appellate opinions in Keen, supra, 77 Cal.App.5th 142; Kracke v. City of Santa Barbara (2021) 63
Cal.App.5th 1089 (Kracke); and Greenfield v. Mandalay Shores Community Assn. (2018) 21
Cal.App.5th 896 (Greenfield). All three of these cases involved attempts to ban STRs in areas of the
California coastal zone zoned residential, all without approval from the California Coastal Commission.
In each case, the court of appeal determined that such STR restrictions violate the Coastal Act and,
therefore, are unenforceable.
12. In administrative appeals by those other property owners from their citations, hearing
officer Napolitano followed the law. In each case he ruled: “[T]he City’s STVR prohibition in the
coastal zone is invalid under the current caselaw unless and until it is approved as a CDP [coastal
development permit], or as an amendment to an adopted LCP [local coastal program], or such
requirements are waived by the Coastal Commission. Thus, the City’s prohibition is unenforceable in
the coastal zone and with regard to Appellant’s Property therein.” The City did not challenge these prior
hearing officer decisions in court. It does not dispute that it has no Coastal Commission approval for its
STR Ban or its enforcement clampdown.
13. On October 24, 2024, pursuant to HBMC section 1.10.090, Petitioners filed their own
administrative appeal, challenging the Citation under the Coastal Act and the Equal Protection Clauses
of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and article I, section 7 of the California
Constitution. They deposited the full amount of the $2,500 fine as required by the City. A true copy of

Petitioners’ appeal is attached to this pleading as Exhibit 1.
14. Appeals contesting administrative citations are heard and decided by a hearing officer
selected by the City. By HBMC section 1.10.090 (D): “The Hermosa Beach City Manager shall
designate the hearing officer for the administrative citation hearing.” Thus, one party to the dispute, with
a financial interest in the outcome (recovery of fines), alone, hires and assigns the quasi-judicial decision
maker. Administrative appeals are not randomly assigned to the hearing officers contracted by the City.
15. The City assigned Petitioners’ appeal to Respondent Colleen Topping Berg. Hearing
officer Berg is not an attorney. She heard the appeal at City Hall, on February 6, 2025. On February 18,
she issued a short decision, upholding the Citation, “[w]ith no refund due to the Appellant.” A true copy
of her decision is attached to this pleading as Exhibit 2.
16. Respondent Berg declined to rule on the grounds for relief under the Coastal Act, amply
explained in Petitioners’ appeal filing, in subsequent briefing, and at the hearing. Inexplicably, she ruled
that determining the validity of the Citation was outside the scope of the appeal, and that “evidence”
relevant to the validity of the STR Ban (“the code itself”) was not for her to consider. (Exh. 2.)
17. Respondent Berg’s decision ignores and fails to acknowledge the prior administrative
decisions by hearing officer Napolitano, which were based on thorough, well-supported analysis
showing that the City’s categorical STR Ban is unenforceable in the coastal zone in that it violates the
Coastal Act’s public shoreline access requirements and the act’s requirement for Coastal Commission
approval. Petitioners submitted those decisions into the record of their administrative appeal.
18. Respondent Berg further declined to rule on the grounds for relief Petitioners raised
under the Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and
article I, section 7 of the California Constitution. Equal protection demands that “persons similarly
situated with respect to the legitimate purpose of the law receive like treatment. [Citations.]” (College
Area Renters & Landlord Assn. v. City of San Diego (1996) 43 Cal.App.4th 677, 686; see Cleburne v.
Cleburne Living Center, Inc. (1985) 473 U.S. 432, 439 [87 L.Ed.2d 313, 320].) Notably, in contrast to
Petitioners’ room near the beach, one of the appeals decided by hearing officer Napolitano in favor of
the property owner concerned STRs in a 28-unit, historic apartment building at 840 The Strand, known
as “The Vurpillat”; the other one involved a single-family home.
19. Respondent Berg further declined to dismiss the Citation on grounds that Petitioners’
STR is a legal nonconforming use. HBMC section 17.52.020 allows, subject to conditions, the
continuation of uses of a building that don’t conform to a subsequent change in zoning regulations. Todd
Koerner’s uncontradicted and unrebutted testimony at the appeal hearing established that Petitioners
meet those conditions. For Respondent Berg, all that mattered was that “on the date violation

#AC528508 [sic: Citation #AC528508] was issued HBMC [§] 17.42.180 Short-Term Vacation Rentals
was an existing code and is the existing code on the date of this decision. This ruling begs the very legal
nonconforming use question presented.
20. Respondent Berg’s decision is a prejudicial abuse of decision in that respondent failed to
proceed in the manner required by law and made findings that do not support her ultimate decision to
uphold the Citation. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5, subd. (b).) Accordingly, Petitioners seek a writ of
administrative mandamus under the Coastal Act and the grandfather provisions of the HBMC,
commanding Respondent Berg to set aside her decision of February 18, 2025, and Respondent City to
set aside the Citation.
21. Code Enforcement’s citation against the Koerners is as legally invalid as Code
Enforcement’s other citations against other property owners or STR hosts who offer to rent or rent
residential property in the residential zones of the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area for less than 30
days. It violates state public coastal access and recreation mandates for the coastal zone. These mandates
are part of the coastal resources planning and management policies contained in chapter 3 of the Coastal
Act. (Chapter 3 Policies; Pub. Resources Code, 30210 et seq.; see San Diego Unified Port Dist. v.
California Coastal Com. (2018) 27 Cal.App.5th 1111, 1129-1132.) These “ ‘state policies prevail over
the concerns of local government.’ ” (Id. at p. 1130, quoting Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates,
LLC v. City of Los Angeles (2012) 55 Cal.4th 783, 794 (PPBME).
22. Second, the STR Ban under which Code Enforcement issues its citations issue was never
approved by the Coastal Commission. Citations for violations of the local ban in the coastal zone are
invalid on this additional ground. The Coastal Commission is “the entity with the primary responsibility
for the implementation of the provisions of the Coastal Act (§ 30330).” (Marine Forests Society v.
California Coastal Com. (2005) 36 Cal.4th 1, 20.) It has regulatory oversight over local attempts to
restrict STRs in the California coastal zone. Specifically, Respondents may not enforce the STR Ban
without a coastal development permit (CDP) from the Coastal Commission or a waiver from the Coastal
Act’s CDP requirement. (Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at pp. 1093, 1095.) A CDP or a waiver from the
CDP requirement are the legal tools necessary for a local government in the California coastal zone to
secure Coastal Commission approval of an ordinance that restricts STRs in the coastal zone when the
local government does not have a Coastal Commission-certified local coastal program (LCP).1 The City
1 When a local government has a Coastal Commission-certified LCP, zoning regulations that
purport to restrict STRs in the coastal zone must be approved by the Coastal Commission through an
LCP amendment, and without such approval, they have no legal effect and are unenforceable. (See
Keen, supra, 77 Cal.App.5th at pp. 144-145; Pub. Resources Code, § 30514; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §§
13542, 13551.)

has been advised and warned repeatedly that it must apply for and obtain a CDP or a permit waiver. Its
failure to secure a CDP for its prohibitive STR regulation is knowing and intentional.
23. The City’s STR Ban prejudicially affects and causes substantial injury to Petitioners and
all property owners and citizens who need or wish to rent a home or a room in the City for less than 30
days. Judicial economy counsels against piecemeal litigation to challenge STR citation after STR
citation by writ of administrative mandamus case after writ of administrative mandamus case.
Accordingly, Petitioners, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 30803, request relief in the form of
an injunction enjoining Respondents’ enforcement actions in the residential zones of the California
coastal zone area that lies within the City’s incorporated territory, until such time as the City is issued a
legally valid CDP by the Coastal Commission; and a binding judicial decree declaring that under the
Coastal Act, Respondents have a public duty to refrain from issuing administrative citations or otherwise
enforcing the STR Ban in the residential zones of the California coastal zone area that lies within the
City’s incorporated territory, again, until such time as the City is issued a legally valid CDP.
24. Lastly, Petitioners request a binding judicial decree that under the HBMC’s grandfather
provision, HBMC section 17.52.020, and fundamental vested rights principles, owners of residential
buildings who have been continuously advertising or renting their building to short-term renters for less
than 30 days since before the City Council passed its STR ban, may continue to do so.
PARTIES TO THIS PROCEEDING
25. Petitioner/Plaintiff Todd Koerner is a long-time City resident. He purchased his single-
family home at 237 Manhattan Avenue in 1997. Todd has been living there since.
26. In 1994, Todd Koerner was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a progressive, autoimmune
disease with no cure, which is caused by the immune system attacking and damaging the protective
coating (the myelin) on the nerve fibers. This chronic health condition has kept Todd from pursuing
gainful employment since 2016.
27. Todd Koerner rents out no more than one private bedroom, with a queen-size bed and an
attached bathroom in his home to people who wish to affordably visit Hermosa Beach and recreate on its
coast. The daily rental rate Todd charges, while depending on dynamic variables like seasonality and
demand, without question, is lower cost. The rate is substantially less than $200 a night, and not
infrequently less than $150.
28. Given his health condition, Todd Koerner feels safer having guests in his home.
Maintaining this STR also helps him with the mortgage payments on the home.
29. Petitioner/Plaintiff Thomas Koerner is a resident of the state of Virginia. He is Todd’s

father. In 2016, Todd refinanced his mortgage. Thomas co-signed the new loan. He is a nonoccupant co-
borrower appearing on the property’s title.
30. Petitioners bring this action for themselves and on behalf of all similarly situated owners
of residential property, as well as all persons who wish to visit the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area for
more than just a day trip. Petitioners and all similarly situated owners of residential property wishing to
rent or renting short-term, are aggrieved and threatened by administrative citations and fines against
them, and the threat of other punitive action Code Enforcement may initiate against them for violating
the unlawful STR Ban. Individuals and families in need of overnight accommodations, including lower-
cost accommodations, too, are aggrieved by Code Enforcement’s actions.
31. Petitioners and the classes of persons aggrieved by Code Enforcement all have a
beneficial right to and interest in the equitable relief Petitioners pray for, and in the performance by
Respondents of their public duties under the constitutional mandates, laws and regulations upon which
this action is premised. They have no plain, speedy, adequate and alternative remedy in the ordinary
course of law.
32. Respondent/Defendant City of Hermosa Beach is a California general law city and
municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with the capacity
to sue and be sued. Key demographic and other statistics for the City are accessible through the U.S.
Census Bureau’s QuickFacts data tool and are available here.
33. Respondent Coleen Topping Berg heard and ruled on Petitioners’ administrative appeal
from the Citation. Petitioners are informed and believe that Respondent Berg is a resident of the county
of Los Angeles. (The City and hearing officer Berg are hereafter sometimes referred to collectively as
“Respondents.”)
34. Petitioners are currently unaware of the true names and capacities of Respondents/
Defendants Does 1 through 20, inclusive, and therefore sue those parties by fictitious names in
accordance with Code of Civil Procedure section 474. If necessary, Petitioners will seek leave to amend
this pleading to state the true names and capacities of the fictitiously named parties when they have been
ascertained. Petitioners are informed and believe that each of the fictitiously named Does took part in
some or all the acts or conduct described in this pleading, is responsible in some manner for such acts
and conduct and is legally liable to Petitioners. Petitioners are informed and believe that, at all times
relevant to this action, each of the Respondents/Defendants Does 11 through 20 was acting as the
employee, agent, representative, independent contractor, partner, or joint venturer of the named
Respondents/Defendants, at their behest, or in concert with them.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE
35. This Court has jurisdiction in the first instance over this action pursuant to article VI,
section 10 of the California Constitution, Code of Civil Procedure sections 187, 525, 526, 1060 and
1094.5, and Civil Code section 3422. This Court has personal jurisdiction over the Respondents because
they are present and transact governmental business within the county of Los Angeles.
36. Venue properly lies in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles as the
challenged enforcement actions occur in this county, Respondent City is located therein, and
Respondent Berg resides therein. (Code Civ. Proc., § 394, subd. (a).)
37. This Court’s Central District, Stanley Mosk Courthouse (Writs and Receiver
Departments) is the local venue for this action as this action seeks writ of administrative mandamus and
injunctive relief. (Super. Ct. L.A. County, Local Rules, rules 2.3(a)(1)(A), 2.8 (b), (d) & 2.9.)
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND
38. For many decades, long before the advent of online STR booking platforms connecting
“hosts” (property owners) to “guests” (renters), STRs in Hermosa Beach provided vital opportunities for
individuals and families from California’s inland areas, other states, and abroad, to enjoy a vacation by
the beach.
39. Short-term renters use homes they rent in the same general manner as any long-term
renter or owner uses their home -- to cook and eat meals, do dishes and laundry, work remotely, read,
relax, watch television, spend time with their kids, other relatives, or entertain friends, among typical
daily activities.
40. Californians consider STRs to be their top choice for overnight accommodations when
visiting the coast. (Probolsky Research, Coastal Conservancy Statewide Survey, at 9 (Oct. 4, 2017),
available at <https://probolskyresearch.app.box.com/s/37s42pkk3g3ueyph5bqp9jewv0j8pa6t> [Mar. 7,
2025].) STRs increase the quantity, quality and variety of overnight accommodations. They provide
families and individuals a greater degree of comfort and flexibility by allowing them a wide range of
amenities, such as full kitchens, more private space and other amenities typically unavailable at hotels.
41. By expanding overnight lodging opportunities in coastal communities, STRs advance the
Coastal Act’s basic goals of maximizing “public access to and along the coast” and “public recreational
opportunities in the coastal zone” (Pub. Resources Code, § 30001.5, subd. (c)); see Cal. Const., art. X,
§ 4), including water-oriented coastal-dependent recreation. Uses that maximize public access to the
coast are “of larger-than-local importance.” (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 13513, subd. (a)(6).)

categorical bans on STRs in affluent, residential areas in coastal cities such as Hermosa Beach, work to
foreclose coastal recreation opportunities for individuals and families from inland areas, including low-
income communities and communities of color who have historically been denied the benefits of coastal
recreation. (See Reineman et al., Coastal Access Equity and the Implementation of the California
Coastal Act (2016) 36 Stan. Envtl. L. J. 89, 98-99 & fns. 33, 34, available at

CA-Coastal-Report-FINAL-.pdf> [as of Mar. 7, 2025.)
I. STATUTORY FRAMEWORK
43. The Coastal Act spells out substantive coastal resources planning and management
policies (Pub. Resources Code, § 30200 et seq.) which local governments must implement through a
Coastal Commission-approved local coastal program (the LCP) (Pub. Resources Code, § 30500 et seq.)
and individual CDP proceedings. (Id., § 30600 et seq.; see Hagopian v. State of California (2014) 223
Cal.App.4th 349, 361-363 (Hagopian); City of Chula Vista v. Superior Court (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d
472, 480-484.)
44. Contained in Chapter 3 of the Act, commonly referred to by the Coastal Commission as
the “Chapter 3 Policies,” a first set of these policies is intended to protect and expand public access to
the coast (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 30210–30214) and coastal recreation (id., §§ 30220–30224). A most
relevant Chapter 3 Policy states: “Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected,
encouraged, and, where feasible, provided.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 30213.) The outcomes in
Greenfield, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th 896, Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th 1089, and Keen, supra, 77
Cal.App.5th 142, in no small part, were dictated by California’s public policy to “Maximize public
access to and along the coast” -- one of several “basic goals of the state for the coastal zone.” (Pub.
Resources Code, § 30001.5, subd. (c).)
45. Development in the California coastal zone generally requires a CDP. (See Kracke,
supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1096, quoting Public Resources Code, section 30600, subdivision (a).) The
Coastal Act defines the term “development” broadly. (Pub. Resources Code, § 30106.) This term is not
restricted to the development of real property or activities that physically alter land or water in the
California coastal zone. (See id., quoting PPBME, supra, 55 Cal.4th at p. 796.) Rather, the Coastal Act
defines the term “development” to include, inter alia, a “change in the density or intensity of use of
land” and a “change in the intensity of use of water, or of access thereto” (Pub. Resources Code, §

Estates (2023) 88 Cal.App.5th 849, 864-865 [harassment by surfer gang interfering with non-locals’
access to the beach and ocean is “development” within the meaning of the Coastal Act]; see Kracke,
supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1096; Greenfield, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th at p. 900; see also Surfrider
Foundation v. California Coastal Com. (1994) 26 Cal.App.4th 151, 158 [“[T]he public access and
recreational policies of the Coastal Act should be broadly construed to encompass all impediments to
access, whether direct or indirect, physical or nonphysical”], quoted in Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at
p. 1096.)
46. Because the City does not have an LCP certified by the Coastal Commission, the
commission retains CDP jurisdiction over development anywhere in the Hermosa Beach coastal zone.
(Pub. Resources Code, §§ 30600, suds. (a)–(d), 30519; Hagopian, supra, 223 Cal.App.4th at p. 363.)
II. THE CITY’S ILLEGAL SHORT-TERM RENTAL BAN
47. On May 24, 2016, in defiance of its public duties under the Coastal Act and brushing
aside warnings from Coastal Commission officials and others, the City Council passed an ordinance
(Ordinance No. 16-1365), categorically prohibiting STRs, whether initiated through booking
transactions on Web-based hosting platforms or otherwise.
48. On May 9, 2016, Jordan Sanchez, Enforcement Officer with the Coastal Commission’s
South Coast District, wrote Senior City Planner Kim Chaffin:
As noted in the City’s staff report, the Coastal Act affords great protection to low cost
overnight visitor serving accommodations. Commission staff agrees with that statement,
and in addition, we believe the proposed ban on short term vacation rentals constitutes
‘Development’ under the Coastal Act, as it constitutes a change in access to the coast,
therefore requiring authorization via a coastal development permit; the Commission has
long considered lower cost accommodations to be facilities that are critical to providing
coastal access. Without lower cost accommodation, a large segment of the population
will be excluded from overnight stays at the coast. Since the City of Hermosa Beach does
not have a Local Coastal Program certified by the Commission, the City would need to
obtain a CDP from the Commission in order to regulate short term vacation rentals in the
Coastal Zone. The Commission has consistently conveyed to local governments that a
CDP, for an uncertified local jurisdiction, or an LCP Amendment and subsequent CDP,
for a certified local jurisdiction, is necessary to impose such regulations. [¶] Please note,
that staff believes an outright ban of short term vacation rentals in the Coastal Zone of
Hermosa Beach, without benefit of the necessary CDP, would be inconsistent with the
public access policies of the Coastal Act.”
49. On May 24, 2016, the Coastal Commission’s Deputy Director, Steve Hudson, in a letter
to City Manager Tom Bakaly and the City Council, reiterated these points. Hudson wrote that while “the
Coastal Commission has endorsed certain regulations to require on-site management, enforcement

protocols, occupancy limits, required parking and other use provisions,” “the proposed prohibition of
short term vacation rentals constitutes ‘development’ under the Coastal Act, as the prohibition would
change access to the coast by diminishing the pool of visitor serving accommodations.” And “since the
City does not have a certified LCP containing policies or implementing ordinances addressing this
matter, the City would need to obtain a coastal development permit from the Commission in order to
regulate short term vacation rentals in the Coastal Zone, as proposed as part of pending Ordinance No.
16-1365 relating to prohibiting short-term rentals in residential areas of the city.”
50. The City’s STR ban is currently contained in § 17.42.180. This HBMC section provides
in pertinent part:
“It shall be unlawful for any person to offer or make available for rent or to rent (by way of a
rental agreement, lease, license or any other means, whether oral or written) for compensation or
consideration a residential dwelling, a dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for less than 30
consecutive days and for any person to occupy a residential dwelling, a dwelling unit or a room
in a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days pursuant to a rental agreement, lease, license or
any other means, whether oral or written, for compensation or consideration except for short-
term vacation rentals in nonconforming residential dwelling units in certain commercial zones in
compliance with the following requirements. No person or entity shall maintain any
advertisement of a short-term rental in violation of this section, in any zone. In the event that an
advertisement has conflicting information regarding a prohibited rental, the advertisement for the
shorter amount of time shall control.”
51. The HBMC defines “short-term vacation rental” as “the rental of a residential dwelling, a
dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for compensation by way of a rental agreement, lease, license or
any other means, whether oral or written to a person or group of persons for temporary overnight
accommodations for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days.” (HBMC, § 17.04.040.)
52. § 17.42.180 draws no distinction between STRs in the City’s residential zones within the
California coastal zone and inland thereof. While allowing STRs in certain commercial zones, subject to
detailed requirements, it thus bans STRs in all residentially zoned properties, even if they occur in the
California coastal zone. 2020 U.S. Census data show that over 10,000 housing units fall under this ban.
(<https://data.census.gov/table/DECENNIALPL2020.H1?g=160XX00US0633364> [as of Mar. 7,
2025].)
53. Like the city of Manhattan Beach’s now-rescinded ban on STRs, Hermosa Beach’s STR
Ban amended the status quo. Until 2016, the City’s zoning ordinance always permitted short-term, as
well as long-term, residential rentals, in its residential zones, both inside and outside the coastal zone
portion of the City’s incorporated territory. (See Keen, supra, 77 Cal.App.5th at p. 148 [“If long-term
rentals are legal, so too are short-term rentals.”].)
54. Regardless of hearing officer Napolitano’s decisions, Code Enforcement keeps issuing

Respondents have given every indication that, except for a court order, nothing will stop them. After
hearing officer Napolitano’s decision of August 1, 2024, dismissing The Vurpillat citation, CDD
Director Tai issued a statement for the South Bay’s Easy Reader newspaper, in no uncertain terms,
proclaiming the City’s position: “The City will continue to enforce the short-term rental ban as currently
constituted, as the hearing officer’s decision applies solely to the appealed citation.”
CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
PREJUDICIAL ABUSE OF DISCRETION UNDER THE COASTAL ACT AND THE HERMOSA
BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE’S GRANDFATHER PROVISIONS PROTECTING LEGAL
NONCONFORMING USES
By Petitioners Against All Defendants
55. Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 54 of this pleading, as though
fully set forth.
56. Respondent Berg’s decision of February 18, 2025, is a quasi-judicial (adjudicatory) act as
it “involved a determination of specific rights in regards to a particular factual situation.” (City of
Carmel-by-the-Sea v. Board of Supervisors (1986) 183 Cal.App.3d 229, 239; see Harris Transportation
Co. v. Air Resources Board (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 1472, 1479.) Accordingly, judicial review of this
decision and the validity of the Citation is subject to administrative mandamus review under Code of
Civil Procedure section 1094.5 (§1094.5).
57. § 1094.5 provides three main bases for writ relief: (1) when the agency “has proceeded
without, or in excess of, jurisdiction”; (2) when it has failed to afford the petitioner “a fair trial”; and (3)
when “there was any prejudicial abuse of discretion.” (§ 1094.5, subd. (b).) Prejudicial abuse of
discretion may be predicated upon one of the following showings: the agency “has not proceeded in the
manner required by law, the order or decision is not supported by the findings, or the findings are not
supported by the evidence.” (Id.)
58. Application, i.e., enforcement, by a hearing officer of an invalid regulation in an
adjudicatory proceeding is “not proceeding ‘in the manner required by law.’ (Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5,
subd. (b).)” (Woods v. Superior Court (1981) 28 Cal.3d 668, 677 (Woods).) “If the trial court should find
that the regulations are invalid as applied to applicants, it may grant them relief for [an administrative
adjudicator’s] ‘abuse of discretion’ in applying invalid regulations.” (Id. at p. 678; see also, Harris,

supra, 32 Cal.App.4th at p. 1479 [in enforcement proceedings where a hearing officer is empowered to
make factual determinations as to whether there has been a violation, “a challenge to the legality of the
regulations is cognizable.”].)
59. A question of law arises where, as here, the evidence before the administrative decision
maker is undisputed. In such a case, “a pure question of law” is raised because the question for the court
is “the legal effect of undisputed facts” (City v. Bd. of Permit Appeals (1989) 207 Cal.App.3d 1099,
1110-1111), and the decision maker’s findings cannot support the ultimate decision when, considering
the legal effect of undisputed facts, the decision maker erred as a matter of law. (Ibid.) “ ‘Regardless of
the writ involved . . . where the facts are undisputed, the reviewing court faces a question of law. “On
questions of law arising in mandate proceedings, [courts] exercise independent judgment.” ’ [Citation.]”
(Temple of 1001 Buddhas v. City of Fremont (2024) 100 Cal.App.5th 456, 466; see id. at p. 475 [“the
preemption issue presents a question of law”; see City of Marina v. Board of Trustees of California State
University (2006) 39 Cal.4th 341, 355 [“De novo review of legal questions is consistent with the abuse
of discretion standard”].)
60. The published appellate opinions in Greenfield, Kracke and Keen, which City hearing
officer Napolitano followed in his administrative decisions, have construed the Coastal Act’s public
access provisions as prohibiting categorical bans on STRs in residential areas of the California coastal
zone. Kracke, 63 Cal.App.5th 1089, at pages 1092-1093, states:
“The goals of the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Pub. Resources Code, § 30000 et seq.; Coastal
Act) include ‘[m]aximiz[ing] public access’ to the beach ([Public Resources Code,] § 30001.5,
subd. (c)) and protecting ‘[l]ower cost visitor and recreational facilities’ (§ 30213; see § 31411,
subd. (d) [‘A lack of affordable accommodations remains a barrier to coastal access’]; Greenfield
v. Mandalay Shores Community Assn. (2018) 21 Cal.App.5th 896, 899-900 (Greenfield)). To
ensure that these and other goals are met, the Coastal Act requires a CDP for any ‘development’
resulting in a change in the intensity of use of or access to land or water in a coastal zone.
(§ 30600, subd. (a); see § 30106; Greenfield, at p. 898.)
61. The Kracke court went on to explain that the loss of STRs resulting from local
governments’ enforcement of sweeping, categorial STR bans constitutes “development” within the
meaning of the Coastal Act, because it impacts the intensity of the use of land, and the intensity of the
use of water or of access thereto. (Id. at p. 1093, quoting with approval the trial court’s decision that
“ ‘STVRs provide a resource for individuals and families, especially low-income families, to visit the
Santa Barbara coast.’ ”].) The Kracke court thus held:
“Consequently, the Coastal Act required the Commission’s approval of a CDP, LCP [Local
Coastal Program] amendment or amendment waiver before the ban could be imposed. (See
Greenfield, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th at pp. 900-901.) There was no such approval.”

(Ibid.; id. at p. 1095 [“The City Lacked Authority to Unilaterally Ban STVRs in the Coastal Zone”].)
62. “All public agencies and all federal agencies, to the extent possible under federal law or
regulations or the United States Constitution, shall comply with the provisions of [the Coastal Act].”
(Pub. Resources Code, § 30003.) Noncompliance with the Coastal Act is not an option for City officials,
and they may not enforce HBMC provisions that conflict with the Coastal Act. “Although the Coastal
Act does not displace a local government’s ability to regulate land use in the coastal zone, it does
preempt conflicting local regulations.” (Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1095, italics added; see
Pub. Resources Code, § 30005, subd. (a).) It is indeed “ ‘a fundamental purpose of the Coastal Act . . . to
ensure that state policies prevail over the concerns of local government.’ [Citation.]” (PPBME, supra, 55
Cal.4th at p. 794.)
63. Hearing officer Berg and City Code Enforcement erred as a matter of law by enforcing a
City regulation -- § 17.42.180 -- dictating a sweeping, categorical STR Ban that is clearly invalid under
the Coastal Act and preempted by the act as being in conflict with its public shoreline access provisions.
(See Pub. Resources Code, §§ 30210, 30213, 30222.) Because the local regulation is “invalid as applied
to [Petitioners]” (Woods, supra, 28 Cal.3d at p. 678), “relief for . . . ‘abuse of discretion’ in applying
invalid regulations” is appropriate and necessary. (Ibid.)
64. Hearing officer Berg and City Code Enforcement further erred as a matter of law by
enforcing § 17.42.180, in that undisputed evidence before Ms. Berg showed that Petitioners’ STR use at
their 237 Manhattan Avenue home is protected as a legal nonconforming use under HBMC section
17.52.020. The use has been continuous since 2012, and Code Enforcement offered no evidence or
argument to the contrary, or evidence of any structural alteration or expansion at 237 Manhattan Avenue
that would exclude Petitioners from HBMC section 17.52.020’s protective umbrella. (See HBMC
section 17.52.030.)
65. Because Respondents failed to proceed in the manner required by the Coastal Act and by
HBMC section 17.52.020, and because Respondent Berg’s decision is unsupported by legally adequate
findings supportive of her ultimate decision to uphold the Citation, issuance of a peremptory writ of
administrative mandamus, as sought in the prayer of this pleading, is appropriate and indispensable.

67. City Code Enforcement is engaged in a pattern and practice of systematically enforcing
the STR Ban in the City’s residential zones against property owners and STR hosts advertising or
renting single-family homes, other residential dwellings, and, as the case at bench illustrates, even just a
room near the beach, for periods of less than 30 days.
68. Code Enforcement’s pattern and practice of issuing administrative citations to owners of
properties in residential zones that lie within the California coastal zone, and slapping them with fines,
violates the Coastal Act, defies published appellate caselaw under the act, and ignores the prior final
rulings of hearing officer Napolitano who, consistent with controlling caselaw, found that the decision
whether to ban or regulate STRs in the coastal zone is for the City and the Coastal Commission to
decide (Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1098 [“The decision whether to ban or regulate STVRs in
the coastal zone is a matter for the City and the Commission to decide”]; Greenfield, supra, 21
Cal.App.5th at p. 901 [“STR bans . . . are a matter for the City and Coastal Commission to address”]);
and that because the City enforces its STR ban without a Coastal Commission-approved CDP (or LCP),
the ban is unenforceable as applied to the properties in the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area.
69. Eliminating STR after STR in the California coastal zone eliminates overnight
accommodation after overnight accommodation, which impedes and reduces coastal access more and
more. (¶¶ 21, 43, 45, 47-48, 59, ante.) City Code Enforcement’s unlawful enforcement spree eliminates
a significant coastal resource for individuals and families, especially middle- and low-income families.
(See Lent v. California Coastal Com. (2021) 62 Cal.App.5th 812, 834 [“public access qualifies as a
resource afforded protection under the Coastal Act’s Chapter 3 Policies; see Pub. Resources Code, §§
30210, 30213, 30222; see also §§ 30001.5, subd. (c), 30530, 31411.)
70. City Code Enforcement’s clampdown on STRs in the California coastal zone and the
resultant losses of STRs constitute changes in the intensity of use of land in the coastal zone in Hermosa
Beach, and in the intensity of the use of the coastal waters along The Strand, and of access to these
waters, and, therefore, fall within the Coastal Act’s broad definition of “development.” (¶¶ 22, 44-45,
47-48, 59-60, ante.) Accordingly, the City must apply for and obtain approval of a CDP from the
Coastal Commission and, pending issuance of a legally effective CDP, must cease and desist from
enforcing the STR Ban.
71. Petitioner Todd Koerner is informed and believes that Respondents have every intent to
continue, and they will continue to enforce the City’s STR Ban in the residential zones of the California
coastal zone and impose fines on STR hosts, thereby continually deterring STRs while raising the City’s
“monetary barrier to the beach.” (Greenfield, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th at p. 898.)
72. The Coastal Act expressly provides for equitable relief to restrain violations of the

Coastal Act. The Koerners have citizen standing and standing as parties aggrieved by the City’s
unlawful enforcement pattern and practice, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin Respondents from
enforcing the STR Ban, along with a binding judicial declaration supporting such injunctive relief. By
Public Resources Code section 30803, part of the Coastal Act: “Any person may maintain an action for
declaratory and equitable relief to restrain any violation of [the Coastal Act].” By section 30804, “Any
person may maintain an action to enforce the duties specifically imposed upon . . . any local government
by [the Coastal Act].”
73. As noted in Greenfield, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th 896, Public Resources Code section
30803, subdivision (a) further states: “ ‘On a prima facie showing of a violation of [the Coastal Act],
preliminary equitable relief shall be issued to restrain any further violation of this division.’ ” (Id. at p.
900, italics added by the Greenfield court.) “Under [Public Resources Code] section 30803, any person
may bring a lawsuit to enjoin an activity that violates the Coastal Act. [Citation.] Because standing is
conferred on ‘any person’ ([Pub. Resources Code,] § 30803, subd. (a)), it matters not when [a party]
started renting to short-term tenants or that [such party] can be adequately compensated for economic
damages . . . .” (Ibid.)
74. Unless enjoined by this Court, Respondents’ unlawful and unpermitted clampdown on
STRs in the residential zones of the California coastal zone in Hermosa Beach will continue unabated.
Accordingly, the injunctive and declaratory relief sought by Petitioners in the prayer of this pleading is
appropriate and indispensable.
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
DECLARATORY RELIEF FOR VIOLATION OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE’S
GRANDFATHER PROVISIONS PROTECTING LEGAL NONCONFORMING USES
By Petitioners Against All Respondents
75. Plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 64 of this pleading, as though
fully set forth.
76. The HBMC defines a “nonconforming use” as “a use which was lawfully established and
maintained but which, no longer conforms to the use regulations, or the lot area per dwelling unit
regulations, of the zone in which it is located.” (HBMC, § 17.04.040.)
77. For property owners who had been offering or renting homes for less than 30 days in a
residential zone when the City first passed its STR ban, this ban runs afoul of the grandfather provisions
codified in HBMC section 17.52.020, which provides in pertinent part: “The nonconforming use of a
building may be continued, provided any structural alteration or expansion shall comply with Section

17.52.030. [¶] When a use which is nonconforming to the use regulations for the district where it is
located is vacated or discontinued for ninety (90) consecutive days or more, the nonconforming use will
be deemed abandoned, and any future use of such building shall conform to the provisions of the zone in
which it is located.”
78. HBMC section 17.52.020 thus allows, subject to conditions, the continuation of uses of a
building that do not conform to a change in zoning regulations. HBMC section 17.52.020 recognizes and
codifies the vested rights of property owners who operated STRs legally in the City’s residential zones
before the STR Ban became effective.
79. Code Enforcement’s pattern and practice of issuing administrative citations and imposing
monetary fines on those STR hosts in the City who have offered or rented their residential properties for
periods of less than 30 consecutive days, continuously since before June 23, 2016 (the effective date of
Ordinance No. 16-1365), and who meet HBMC section 17.52.020’s other prerequisites for being
grandfathered as operating legal nonconforming uses, violates HBMC section 17.52.020 and
fundamental vested right principles. “The rights of users of property as those rights existed at the time of
the adoption of a zoning ordinance are well recognized and have always been protected. [Citation.]”
(Edmonds v. County of Los Angeles (1953) 40 Cal.2d 642, 651; see, e.g., 301 Ocean Ave. Corp. v. Santa
Monica Rent Control Bd. (1991) 228 Cal.App.3d 1548, 1558 [rent control board’s decision to restrict a
property owner’s preexisting right to lease parking spaces in an apartment building to persons other than
the building tenants held subject to independent judicial review because it interfered with the owner’s
“fundamental vested right to control property”; see id. at p. 1556 [“We find that the affected right in this
case is sufficiently personal, vested and important to preclude its extinction by a nonjudicial body.”].)
80. Barring a binding judicial decree from this Court, the City’s unlawful clampdown on
grandfathered STRs in the residential zones of the City will continue unabated. Accordingly, the
declaratory relief sought by Petitioners in the prayer of this pleading is indispensable and appropriate.
ACTUAL CONTROVERSY AND INADEQUATE REMEDIES AT LAW
81. In prosecuting this action, Petitioners are acting for themselves and all property owners in
the City and visitors to the City who benefit now and in the future from lawful and responsible STR
uses, and for all Californians interested in full enforcement of the Coastal Act.
82. An actual controversy has arisen and now exists between, on the one hand, Petitioners, all
similarly situated owners of residential property in the California coastal zone, and all persons who wish
to visit the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area for more than a day trip; and, on the other hand,
Respondents, regarding the legality of City Code Enforcement’s pattern and practice of issuing citations

to property owners for advertising or renting homes or rooms in the Hermosa Beach coastal zone for less
than thirty days.
83. Petitioners contend that Code Enforcement’s pattern and practice of issuing such citations
is invalid and preempted by the Coastal Act, and that, therefore, Code Enforcement must cease and
desist from doing so.
84. Respondents contend to the contrary. They contend that the City is free to enforce its
categorical STR Ban in the residential zones of the Hermosa Beach coastal zone, claiming that it
represents a valid exercise of the City’s constitutional police power to regulate land use, and that the
Coastal Commission has no authority to review whether this ban conflicts with the Coastal Act except
through the LCP process.
85. An actual controversy has further arisen and now exists between, on the one hand,
Petitioners and all similarly situated owners of residential properties in the residential zones of the City
who have been continuously offering or renting such dwellings or a room for less than 30 consecutive
days since before the effective date of Ordinance No. 16-1635; and, on the other hand, Respondents,
regarding City property owners’ rights under HBMC section 17.52.020 to maintain STR uses in their
residential properties.
86. Petitioners contend that prior to Ordinance No. 16-1365, the City’s zoning regulations
always permitted short-term, as well as, long-term residential rentals, and that under HBMC section
17.52.020 and fundamental vested rights principles, property owners who lawfully advertised or
operated STRs in the residential zones of the City when the City Council passed its STR Ban, may
continue to do so, consistent with the provisions of HBMC section 17.52.020.
87. Petitioners are informed and believe that Respondents contend to the contrary. In fact,
Respondent Berg ruled to the contrary, depriving Petitioners of their fundamental right to lease.
88. A judicial determination and declaration of the public rights and duties of the parties, as
sought in the prayer of this pleading, will prevent piecemeal adjudication of legal issues identical to
those raised in this case under the Coastal Act and HBMC section 17.52.020 by way of individual
challenges to future citations, fines and other unlawful City enforcement actions. Declaratory relief is
therefore necessary and appropriate in the interest of judicial economy. Declaratory relief is available to
“[a]ny person . . . who desires a declaration of his or her rights or duties with respect to another, or in
respect to, in, over or upon property, . . . in cases of actual controversy relating to the legal rights and
duties of the respective parties . . . .” (Code Civ. Proc., § 1060.) A party “may ask for a declaration of
rights or duties, either alone or with other relief; and the court may make a binding declaration of these
rights or duties, whether or not further relief is or could be claimed at the time.” (Code Civ. Proc.,

§ 1060; see id., § 1062.) Moreover, concerning Petitioners’ grounds for relief under the second cause of
action, Public Resources Code section 30803 makes declaratory relief expressly available, specifically to
restrain violations of the Coastal Act.
89. Injunctive relief, as sought in the prayer of this pleading, is likewise necessary and
appropriate. (Pub. Resources Code, § 30803; see also Code Civ. Proc., §§ 526, 3422.) The injunctive
relief sought in this case will prevent a multiplicity of court actions by multiple individual property
owners and STR hosts harmed by the cudgel of an unenforceable local law that Code Enforcement is
using against them. Petitioners and the classes of persons they represent have no plain, speedy and
adequate remedy at law to compel Respondents to refrain from issuing unlawful STR citations and from
permanently taking their property, i.e., keeping fines they claim are forfeited in situations whenever
persons cited do not or cannot appeal their citation, or where, as here, a City hearing officer arbitrarily
finds no refund is due.
90. Without the equitable relief prayed for in this pleading, many owners of residential
property in the City will suffer irreparable injury and incalculable economic loss, with economic and
social ripple effects on local restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and STR-dependent retailers who
serve out-of-town visitors (surf shops, surf camps, bicycle rental businesses etc.) and their workforce, as
Code Enforcement will continue to threaten and thwart residential property owners’ right to offer their
properties for STR uses. Anytime a City Code enforcement officer issues an unlawful citation to a
property owner or initiates other unlawful enforcement action, other property owners will or are likely to
be intimidated and deterred from opening their homes to out-of-town visitors.
91. In summary, injunctive relief is indispensable to avoid a significant loss of overnight
visitor-serving accommodations in the coastal zone area within the City’s incorporated territory and
attendant opportunities for public access to the coast and water-oriented, coastal-dependent recreation;
and to protect not only the interests of Petitioners and all similarly situated property owners, but all
businesses and persons indirectly affected, including visitors who wish to spend a vacation near the
beach, and all Californians interested in full and independent judicial enforcement of the Coastal Act.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Petitioners pray for entry of judgment against Respondents, granting and
ordering relief as follows:
ON THE FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
A peremptory writ of administrative mandamus commanding Respondents to set aside and

vacate the administrative decision of February 18, 2025, upholding the Citation; to set aside and vacate
the Citation itself; to refund the $2,500 fine Petitioners deposited with the City when they appealed the
Citation; and to take such further action as is specially enjoined upon Respondents by law.
ON THE SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
1. An injunction permanently enjoining Respondents, their officers and employees, and all
others acting in concert with them or on their behalf, including all persons contracted by the City to
assist with enforcement of the STR Ban, from engaging in any actions, activities, processes and acts, and
issuing any further hearing officer decisions, enforcing the STR Ban in the residential zones of the
City’s incorporated territory that is located within the California coastal zone, such injunction to remain
in full force and effect until the Coastal Commission issues the City a legally effective CDP for legally
valid STR regulations.
2. A binding judicial declaration that Respondents’ actions, activities, processes and acts
enforcing the STR Ban and Respondent Berg’s decision violate both the public coastal access and public
recreation policies of the Coastal Act’s Chapter 3 Policies and the Coastal Act’s CDP requirement.
ON THE THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
A binding judicial declaration that STRs in the City’s residential zones were lawful under the
City’s zoning ordinances in effect before June 23, 2016; that therefore, City code enforcement actions,
activities, processes and acts against residential property owners who have been continuously offering or
renting their residential properties for less than 30 consecutive days since before June 23, 2016, and who
meet HBMC section 17.52.020’s other prerequisites for their properties to be grandfathered as legal
nonconforming uses, violate those property owners’ right to advertise and operate STRs; and that
accordingly, Respondents, their officers and employees, and all others acting in concert with them or on
their behalf, including all persons contracted by the City to assist with enforcement of the STR Ban,
must refrain from engaging in any actions, activities, processes and acts, and issuing any further hearing
officer decisions, enforcing the STR Ban against residential property owners whose properties are
grandfathered as legal nonconforming uses.
ON ALL CAUSES OF ACTION
1. Any other and further relief as the Court may deem just or proper.
2. An award of reasonable attorney fees pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5,
and court costs pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 1032, subdivision (b), and 1033.5.

ATTACHMENT A TO CITATION NO. 528508 (237 Manhattan Avenue)
This administrative citation must be set aside because it issued under local regulations that
violate and are invalid under state law, in that the city of Hermosa Beach's short-term vacation
rental (STVR) ban for the residential districts of the Hermosa Beach coastal zone violates the
California Coastal Act of 1976. Specifically, it violates the public access and recreation policies
contained in Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (Public Resources Code section 30200 et seq.), as well
as the Coastal Act's Coastal Development Permit (CDP) requirement. (See Keen v. City of
Manhattan Beach (2022) 77 Cal.App.5th 142, 144–145 (Keen); Kracke v. City of Santa Barbara
(2021) 63 Cal. App.5th 1089, 1092–1093 (Kracke); see also Greenfield v. Mandalay Shores
Community Assn. (2018) 21 Cal. App.5th 896, 901–902 (Greenfield).)
As held in Kracke, supra (63 Cal.App.5th at pp. 1092–1093):
“The goals of the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Pub. Resources Code, § 30000 et seq.;
Coastal Act) include ‘[m]aximiz[ing] public access’ to the beach ([Public Resources
Code,] § 30001.5, subd. (c)) and protecting ‘[l]ower cost visitor and recreational facilities’
(§ 30213; see § 31411, subd. (d) [‘A lack of aƯordable accommodations remains a barrier
to coastal access’]; [citation].) To ensure that these and other goals are met, the Coastal
Act requires a CDP for any ‘development’ resulting in a change in the intensity of use of or
access to land or water in a coastal zone. (§ 30600, subd. (a); see § 30106; Greenfield, at
p. 898.)
. . . .
“[T]he Coastal Act required the Commission’s approval of a CDP, LCP amendment or
amendment waiver before the ban could be imposed. (See Greenfield, supra, 21
Cal.App.5th at pp. 900-901.) There was no such approval.”
To quote the Greenfield court, the city’s levying a fine against the Koerners for oƯering a room by
the beach “has erected a monetary barrier to the beach.” (21 Cal.App.5th at p. 898.)
Here, Thomas Koerner (92 years old) and his son Todd Koerner have been cited for oƯering low-
cost overnight access to the Hermosa Beach coastal zone. Their property (237 Manhattan
Avenue) lies in the coastal zone. They’re listing no more than a small bedroom with an attached
bathroom in a home that Mr. Todd Koerner lives in. This is the most restrictive form of STVR,
commonly known as a homestay where the host is present onsite during the STVR. In the words
of the Keen court: “This case is about getting a room near the beach. By law, public access to the
beach is a California priority. The California Coastal Commission . . . enforces this priority by
reviewing amendments beach towns make in municipal laws aƯecting coastal areas.” (77
Cal.App.5th at pp. 144–145.)
Given that the city has no Local Coastal Program, the Coastal Act requires the California Coastal
Commission’s approval of a CDP for the city’s regulations banning STVRs in the Hermosa Beach
EXHIBIT 1, PAGE 3Page 299 of 328
2
coastal zone. The city has been so admonished repeatedly by the Coastal Commission. It never
received the Coastal Commission's approval for its STVR ban.
In short, under the Coastal Act and the caselaw discussed above, the Code Enforcement Division
had no power and no discretion to apply the STVR ban against the Koerners and the 237
Manhattan Avenue property. Code enforcement oƯicers’ discretion is cabined by state law, just as
hearing oƯicers’ discretion is. “All public agencies and all federal agencies, to the extent possible
under federal law or regulations or the United States Constitution, shall comply with the
provisions of the Coastal Act.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 30003.) Simply put, noncompliance with
the Coastal Act is not an option for city oƯicials; they may not enforce Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code provisions that conflict with the Coastal Act.
The administrative citation against the Koerners must also be set aside because under the Equal
Protection Clauses of the United States and California Constitutions, and fair administrative
hearing requirements of state law, the city may not arbitrarily treat similarly situated property
owners in the Hermosa Beach coastal zone dissimilarly. The city does just that in this case.
As the city’s hearing oƯicer ruled on August 1, 2024, in an appeal of Administrative Citation No.
14849114-2 regarding an STVR in the R-2 zone at 840 Strand, Hermosa Beach:
“[T]he City’s STVR prohibition in the coastal zone is invalid under the current caselaw
unless and until it is approved as a CDP, or as an amendment to an adopted LCP, or such
requirements are waived by the Coastal Commission. Thus, the City’s prohibition is
unenforceable in the coastal zone and with regard to Appellant’s Property therein.”
Likewise, on August 20, 2024, the hearing oƯicer ruled in an appeal of Administrative Citation No.
504928 regarding an STVR in the R-2 zone at 424 29th St., Hermosa Beach:
“[T]he City’s STVR prohibition in the coastal zone is invalid under current caselaw unless
and until it is approved as a CDP, or as an amendment to an adopted LCP, or such
requirements are waived by the Coastal Commission. Thus, the City’s prohibition is
unenforceable in the coastal zone and with regard to Appellant’s Property therein.”
In both cases, the Hearing OƯicer thus ordered that the administrative citations be dismissed and
that the appellants be refunded any monetary penalties associated with the citation.
By now going after the Koerners, and attempting to enforce the same invalid STVR prohibition
against them, right after being forced to dismiss the citations against other STVR hosts in the
Hermosa Beach coastal zone -- hosts who were oƯering more than one room in a homestay STVR
at that -- the city’s code enforcement action against the Koerners is arbitrary, capricious and
unreasonable, without real, substantial relation to the public health, safety, or general welfare,
and without any rational basis. Having full knowledge of the hearing oƯicer’s prior rulings, city
code enforcement here intentionally treats the Koerners diƯerently from others similarly situated.
Doing so and lacking any rational basis for this discriminatory treatment, their conduct epitomizes
an egregious violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S.

participants are those provided by Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) 1.
10.090.
(HBMC) 1. 10.090(5) states “The hearing officer shall only consider
evidence that is relevant to whether the violation occurred and whether the
responsible person had caused or maintained the violation of the
Municipal Code on the date(s) specified in the administrative citation.”
(HBMC) 1.10.090(6) states “Administrative hearings are informal, and
formal rules of evidence and discovery do not apply. Each party shall
have the opportunity to present evidence in support of his or her case and
to cross-examine witnesses. The City bears the burden of proof at an
administrative hearing to establish a violation of the Code. The
administrative citation and any additional reports submitted by the

enforcement official shall constitute prima facie evidence of the facts
contained in those documents. The administrative hearing officer must
use a preponderance of evidence as the standard of evidence in deciding
the issues.
All parties were sworn in prior to taking testimony.
Evidence
All reports, documents and photos provided by the City and Appellant
Representative were accepted into evidence and incorporated here by reference.
HB Building & Code Enforcement Official testified to the following information
which was also provided in the issuing Officer’s case notes that were submitted
as evidence.
• On or around July 24, 2024 staff received a citizen concern regarding a
possible Short-Term Rental 237 Manhattan Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA.
• Doing their due diligence, staff found the property reported was listed as a
vacation rental on Airbnb and VRBO.
• Staff provided screen shots of the property listed in Airbnb with a check-in
date of October 23, 2024.
• Staff provided a screen shot of a booking for October 23-26, 2024.
Appellant representative testified to the following:
• Appellant Representative stated in the Request for Administrative Hearing
and in testimony that the citation must be set aside because it’s issued
under the local regulations that violate and are invalid under state law. In
addition, that the ban for residential districts in the coastal zone violates
public access and recreation policies contained in Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act.
• Appellant Representative stated the citation must be set aside because it
violates the Equal Protection Clauses of the United States and California
Constitutions.
• Appellant Representative stated the Appellant renting a portion of his
home on Airbnb for less than 30 days is legal because he started renting
in 2012, before the city code changed, quoting nonconforming use.
• Appellant Representative stated the allegations are not disputed.
However, the city cannot enforce the ban because in his opinion the ban is
illegal for the reason’s provided above and detailed in documents
submitted.

• The Appellant stated his renting the room in his home on Airbnb has been
a “god send” since his ability to work in his previous profession is limited
due to his diagnosis of MS.
Analysis
The issue in this case hinges on whether the Appellant rented his vacation rental
for less than a 30-day stay. Appellant and the Appellant Representative do not
dispute the allegations.
HBMC 1.10.090 (D.5)
The hearing officer shall only consider the evidence that is relevant to
whether the violation occurred and whether the responsible person has
caused or maintained the violation of the municipal Code on the date(s)
specified in the administrative citation.
Regarding the Appellant Representative questioning the validity of the HBMC; on
the date violation #AC528508 was issued HBMC 17.42.180 Short-Term Vacation
Rentals was an existing code and is the existing code on the date of this
decision. Per HBMC 1.10.090 (D.5) listed above, it is the role of the
Administrative Hearing Officer to only consider evidence that is relevant to
whether the violation occurred, not to the relevance or validity of the code itself.
In documentation submitted and in statements made during the hearing, neither
the Appellant or Appellant Representative offered any evidence to prove he did
not violate HBMC 17.42.180. As such, the issuance of the citation remains valid
as the issuance of the citation #AC528508 is deemed valid under the scope of
these proceedings.
Decision
Based on the evidence and analysis discussed above, the City has met its
burden on proof and Administrative Citation #AC528508 is upheld. With no
refund due to the Appellant.

ATTACHMENT A TO CITATION NO. 545145 (3500 The Strand)
The administrative citation against Gary Ashe states: “This is in reference to the advertisement(s)
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/43410508, offering your property for rent for less than thirty (30)
consecutive days. All short-term rentals are prohibited at your property. [¶] Please pay the $2,500
flne by March 14, 2025 not later than 10 a.m.”
The citation against Mr. Ashe criminalizes the mere act of renting a home. It cannot be upheld and
the flne must be refunded in full.
*****
Mr. Ashe’s residential property on The Strand lies in the California coastal zone. It is zoned R-1
(Single-Family Residential). The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) section under which
the citation issued, section 17.42.180 (hereafter § 17.42.180), categorically bans STRs on all
parcels in the city that are zoned residential, including all residentially zoned parcels that are
located within the California coastal zone area that is part of the City of Hermosa Beach’s (City)
incorporated territory.
The citation is unenforceable and must be set aside because it issued under a local regulation (§
17.42.180) that is invalid under state law. Speciflcally, the City’s short-term rental (STR) ban for
the residential districts of the Hermosa Beach coastal zone area violates and is preempted by the
California Coastal Act of 1976. (Pub. Resources Code, § 30000 et seq.) It violates both the public
access and recreation policies contained in Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (Id., § 30200 et seq.),
and the Coastal Act’s Coastal Development Permit (CDP) requirement. (See Keen v. City of
Manhattan Beach (2022) 77 Cal.App.5th 142, 144–145 (Keen); Kracke v. City of Santa Barbara
(2021) 63 Cal. App.5th 1089, 1092–1093 (Kracke); Greenfleld v. Mandalay Shores Community
Assn. (2018) 21 Cal. App.5th 896, 901–902 (Greenfleld).)
Kracke, supra, held:
“The goals of the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Pub. Resources Code, § 30000 et seq.;
Coastal Act) include ‘[m]aximiz[ing] public access’ to the beach (§ 30001.5, subd. (c)) and
protecting ‘[l]ower cost visitor and recreational facilities’ (§ 30213; see § 31411, subd. (d)
[‘A lack of affordable accommodations remains a barrier to coastal access’]; Greenfleld v.
Mandalay Shores Community Assn. (2018) 21 Cal.App.5th 896, 899-900 (Greenfleld)). To
ensure that these and other goals are met, the Coastal Act requires a CDP for any
‘development’ resulting in a change in the intensity of use of or access to land or water in a
coastal zone. (§ 30600, subd. (a); see § 30106; Greenfleld, at p. 898.)”
. . . .
“[T]he Coastal Act required the [California Coastal] Commission’s approval of a CDP, LCP
[local coastal program] amendment or amendment waiver before the ban could be
Doc ID: 0a01b3ce25c1237a393fc477c47f1141db7f94aa
Page 310 of 328
2
imposed. (See Greenfleld, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th at pp. 900-901.) There was no such
approval.”
(63 Cal.App.5th at pp. 1092–1093.) Nor was there such approval for the City, a fact the City does
not dispute. Development in the California coastal zone generally requires a CDP. (Kracke, supra,
63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1096, quoting Public Resources Code, section 30600, subdivision (a); see
Hagopian v. State of California (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 349, 361-363.)
The precedent-setting published opinion of the court of appeal in Kracke teaches that local
governments that do not have a local coastal program approved by the California Coastal
Commission, like the City, must obtain the Coastal Commission’s approval of their STR
restrictions by applying for a CDP. This is so because the loss of STRs resulting from a local
government’s enforcement of sweeping, categorial STR ban constitutes “development” within the
meaning of the Coastal Act -- it changes the intensity of the use of land, and the intensity of the
use of water or of access thereto. (Id. at p. 1093, quoting with approval the trial court’s decision
that “ ‘STVRs provide a resource for individuals and families, especially low-income families, to
visit the Santa Barbara coast.’ ”].) The Coastal Act speciflcally deflnes the term “development” as
including a “change in the density or intensity of use of land” and a “change in the intensity of use
of water, or of access thereto” (Pub. Resources Code, § 30106), and courts give this term “an
‘expansive interpretation’ ” (Spencer v. City of Palos Verdes Estates (2023) 88 Cal.App.5th 849,
864-865 [harassment by surfer gang interfering with non-locals’ access to the beach and ocean is
“development” within the meaning of the Coastal Act]; see Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p.
1096; Greenfleld, supra, 21 Cal.App.5th at p. 900; see also Surfrider Foundation v. California
Coastal Com. (1994) 26 Cal.App.4th 151, 158 [“[T]he public access and recreational policies of
the Coastal Act should be broadly construed to encompass all impediments to access, whether
direct or indirect, physical or nonphysical”], quoted in Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1096.)
Californians consider STRs to be their top choice for overnight accommodations when visiting the
coast. (Probolsky Research, Coastal Conservancy Statewide Survey, at 9 (Oct. 4, 2017), available
at <https://probolskyresearch.app.box.com/s/37s42pkk3g3ueyph5bqp9jewv0j8pa6t > [Mar. 13,
2025].) STRs increase the quantity, quality and variety of overnight accommodations. They
provide families and individuals a greater degree of comfort and fiexibility by allowing them a wide
range of amenities, such as full kitchens, more private space and other amenities unavailable in a
hotel room. Sweeping bans on STRs, such as § 17.42.180, in affluent coastal cities, such as
Hermosa Beach, exclude that choice. And they exclude individuals and families from inland
areas, including low-income communities and communities of color, from coastal recreation
opportunities. (See Reineman et al., Coastal Access Equity and the Implementation of the
California Coastal Act (2016) 36 Stan. Envtl. L. J. 89, 98-99 & fns. 33, 34, available at
<https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/reineman.pdf> [as of Mar. 13, 2025];

13, 2025].) As the Greenfleld court aptly put it: Levying flnes against property owners for offering a
STR in their house “has erected a monetary barrier to the beach.” (21 Cal.App.5th at p. 898.)
The law clearly protects Mr. Ashe and all property owners similarly situated, able and willing to
meet the need for overnight accommodations in the City by those not so fortunate to call
Hermosa Beach their hometown, but who wish to spend a weekend or a vacation in the City. As
stated in Keen: “By law, public access to the beach is a California priority. The California Coastal
Commission . . . enforces this priority by reviewing amendments beach towns make in municipal
laws affecting coastal areas.” (77 Cal.App.5th at pp. 144-145.)
Given that the City has no local coastal program, as noted before, the Coastal Act requires the
Coastal Commission’s approval of a CDP for the City’s regulations banning STRs in the Hermosa
Beach coastal zone. The City has been so admonished repeatedly by the Coastal Commission.
On May 9, 2016, days before the city council passed the City’s original STR ban, Jordan Sanchez,
Enforcement Officer with the Coastal Commission’s South Coast District, wrote Senior City
Planner Kim Chaffin:
“As noted in the City’s staff report, the Coastal Act affords great protection to low cost
overnight visitor serving accommodations. Commission staff agrees with that statement,
and in addition, we believe the proposed ban on short term vacation rentals constitutes
‘Development’ under the Coastal Act, as it constitutes a change in access to the coast,
therefore requiring authorization via a coastal development permit; the Commission has
long considered lower cost accommodations to be facilities that are critical to providing
coastal access. Without lower cost accommodation, a large segment of the population
will be excluded from overnight stays at the coast. Since the City of Hermosa Beach does
not have a Local Coastal Program certifled by the Commission, the City would need to
obtain a CDP from the Commission in order to regulate short term vacation rentals in the
Coastal Zone. The Commission has consistently conveyed to local governments that a
CDP, for an uncertifled local jurisdiction, or an LCP Amendment and subsequent CDP, for
a certifled local jurisdiction, is necessary to impose such regulations. [¶] Please note, that
staff believes an outright ban of short term vacation rentals in the Coastal Zone of
Hermosa Beach, without beneflt of the necessary CDP, would be inconsistent with the
public access policies of the Coastal Act.”
On May 24, 2016, hours before the Hermosa Beach city council passed the ban, the Coastal
Commission’s Deputy Director, Steve Hudson, in a letter to City Manager Tom Bakaly and the city
council, reiterated these points. Hudson wrote that while the Coastal Commission has endorsed
reasonable regulations, “the proposed prohibition of short term vacation rentals constitutes
‘development’ under the Coastal Act, as the prohibition would change access to the coast by
diminishing the pool of visitor serving accommodations.” And “since the City does not have a
certifled LCP containing policies or implementing ordinances addressing this matter, the City
would need to obtain a coastal development permit from the Commission in order to regulate
Doc ID: 0a01b3ce25c1237a393fc477c47f1141db7f94aa
Page 312 of 328
4
short term vacation rentals in the Coastal Zone, as proposed as part of pending Ordinance No.
16-1365 relating to prohibiting short-term rentals in residential areas of the city.”
Then, on December 6, 2016, Steve Kinsey, at the time the chair of the Coastal Commission, wrote
to the Planning Directors and Directors of Community Development of all California cities and
counties with territory located (or partially located) within the coastal zone, including Ken
Robertson, then the director of the City’s Community Development Department:
“The regulation of short-term vacation rentals represents a change in the intensity of use
and of access to the shoreline, and thus constitutes development to which the Coastal
Act and LCPs must apply. We do not believe that regulation outside of that LCP/CDP
context (e.g. outright vacation rental bans through other local processes) is legally
enforceable in the coastal zone, and we strongly encourage your community to pursue
vacation rental regulation through your LCP. [¶] [T]he Commission has not historically
supported blanket vacation rental bans under the Coastal Act, and has found such
programs in the past not to be consistent with the Coastal Act.”1
(Italics added.) Still, the City never submitted a complete application for approval of its STR ban,
and the ban never received the Coastal Commission’s approval.
In short, under the Coastal Act, the caselaw discussed above, and the Coastal Commission’s
own policy, the code enforcement division had no power and no discretion to apply the STR ban
against Mr. Ashe and the property at 3500 The Strand. Code enforcement and hearing officers’
discretion is cabined by state law. “All public agencies and all federal agencies, to the extent
possible under federal law or regulations or the United States Constitution, shall comply with the
provisions of the Coastal Act.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 30003.)
Simply put, noncompliance with the Coastal Act is not an option for any city official. No City
hearing officer and no other City official, employee or contractor may enforce Municipal Code
provisions that confiict with higher law, the Coastal Act. “Although the Coastal Act does not
displace a local government’s ability to regulate land use in the coastal zone, it does preempt
confiicting local regulations.” (Kracke, supra, 63 Cal.App.5th at p. 1095, italics added; see Pub.
Resources Code, § 30005, subd. (a).) It is indeed “ ‘a fundamental purpose of the Coastal Act . . .
to ensure that state policies prevail over the concerns of local government.’ [Citation.]” (Paciflc
Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates, LLC v. City of Los Angeles (2012) 55 Cal.4th 783, 794.)
For these reasons, the citation against Mr. Ashe is legally unenforceable and must be reversed,
and the City must be ordered to refund the $2,500 flne that Mr. Ashe was forced to deposit when
he flled his appeal. A contrary decision would be proceeding in a manner contrary to state law.
Proceedings before a City hearing officer under HBMC section 1.10.090 are adjudicatory, i.e.,
1 We request that the three letters from Coastal Commission officials noted above be included in the record
of this administrative appeal.

quasi-judicial, and application in an adjudicatory proceeding of regulations that are invalid (e.g.,
preempted by a higher law) is “not proceeding ‘in the manner required by law.’ (Code Civ. Proc., §
1094.5, subd. (b).)” (Woods v. Superior Court (1981) 28 Cal.3d 668, 677.)
The administrative citation against Mr. Ashe is unenforceable and must be dismissed on separate
and additional grounds.
*****
First, the citation violates the Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution and article I, section 7 of the California Constitution, as well as fair
administrative hearing requirements of state law. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5, subd. (b).)
Speciflcally, the City may not arbitrarily treat similarly situated property owners in the Hermosa
Beach coastal zone dissimilarly. The City has done just that.
As City hearing officer Steve Napolitano ruled on August 1, 2024, in an appeal of Administrative
Citation No. 14849114-2 regarding an STR in the R-2 zone at 840 Strand, Hermosa Beach:
“[T]he City’s STVR prohibition in the coastal zone is invalid under the current caselaw
unless and until it is approved as a CDP, or as an amendment to an adopted LCP, or such
requirements are waived by the Coastal Commission. Thus, the City’s prohibition is
unenforceable in the coastal zone and with regard to Appellant’s Property therein.”
Likewise, on August 20, 2024, hearing officer Napolitano ruled in an appeal of Administrative
Citation No. 504928 regarding an STR in the R-2 zone at 424 29th St., Hermosa Beach:
“[T]he City’s STVR prohibition in the coastal zone is invalid under current caselaw unless
and until it is approved as a CDP, or as an amendment to an adopted LCP, or such
requirements are waived by the Coastal Commission. Thus, the City’s prohibition is
unenforceable in the coastal zone and with regard to Appellant’s Property therein.”
In both cases, the hearing officer ordered that the administrative citations be dismissed and that
the appellants be refunded the monetary penalties they were forced to pay.2
By going after Mr. Ashe and attempting to enforce the same invalid STR prohibition against him,
after being forced to dismiss the citations against other STR hosts in the Hermosa Beach coastal
zone, the City’s code enforcement action against Mr. Ashe is discriminatory, arbitrary, capricious,
unreasonable, and without any rational basis. Further evidence of the City’s arbitrary enforcement
pattern is a decision by hearing officer Coleen Berg, dated February 18, 2025, upholding Citation
No. 528508 against property owners at 237 Manhattan Avenue, Todd and Thomas Koerner, Sr.
who rented no more than a private room in Todd Koerner’s home. While hearing officer Berg was
2 We request that Mr. Napolitano’s decisions be included in the record of this administrative appeal.

aware of the Napolitano decisions -- we provided them to her -- she ignored them in her ruling,
unable to explain the contradiction between her ruling and hearing officer Napolitano’s rulings.
Despite full knowledge of hearing officer Napolitano’s prior rulings, City code enforcement and
hearing officer Berg intentionally treats some people (Mr. Ashe, the Koerners) differently from
others who are in the exact same situation: offering STRs in a residential zone in the city’s coastal
zone area. Doing so and lacking any rational basis for this arbitrary and discriminatory treatment,
their conduct epitomizes an egregious violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (See Village of Willowbrook v. Olech (2000) 528 U.S. 562,
564 [120 S.Ct. 1073; 145 L.Ed.2d 1060.) Equal protection demands that “persons similarly
situated with respect to [a] legitimate purpose of the law receive like treatment. [Citations.]”
(College Area Renters & Landlord Assn. v. City of San Diego (1996) 43 Cal.App.4th 677, 686.)
Second, the City here extracted a flne it has no right under the Coastal Act to extract from people
and keep its treasury. Because the intent of flning short-term rental property owners is punitive in
nature -- flnes are meant and work to impose an economic penalty for renting a residence short-
term or advertising it on the STR market -- and serves to deter an activity the City wrongly
criminalizes and penalizes, the $2,500 flne and all other STR flnes in § 17.42.180 enforcement
cases in the coastal zone violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on excessive flnes. (See
Austin v. United States (1993) 509 U.S. 602, 609-610 [113 S.Ct. 2801; 125 L.Ed.2d 488].)
Third, the Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
and the California Constitution (id., art. I, § 7, subd. (a)) prohibits depriving a person of property
without due process of law. This means a local government’s exercise of its police power cannot
be arbitrary or capricious but must be reasonably justifled in the service of a legitimate
government object. (See County of Los Angeles Dept. of Public Health v. Superior Court (2021) 61
Cal.App.5th 478, 490; Samson v. City of Bainbridge Island (9th Cir. 2012) 683 F.3d 1051, 1058;
Cal. Const., art. I, § 1.) City code enforcement’s exercise of the City’s police power by enforcing a
categorical STR ban in the coastal zone cannot be reasonably justifled in the service of a
legitimate government objective when state law prohibits the exercise of that power.
Finally, flnes being money, and money being property, to take people’s money under the color of a
local law that is unlawful and unenforceable is a per se taking under the Fifth Amendment of the
United States Constitution. A monetary obligation which “burden[s] [a landowner]’s ownership of
a speciflc parcel of land” is a per se taking. (Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Mgmt. Dist. (2013)
570 U.S. 595, 615; 133 S. Ct. 2586; 186 L. Ed. 2d 697.)
Short-term renters use Mr. Ashe’s residential property in the same manner as any long-term
renter or owner uses their home -- to cook and eat meals, do dishes and laundry, work remotely,
read, relax, spend time with their kids, relatives, or entertain friends, and, in this case, to watch
the sun setting over the Paciflc Ocean. Like long-term renters. Like vacation home owners visiting
for a short-term vacation. To disallow these activities and criminalize the mere act of renting one’s
home to people who wish to spend a vacation near the beach shocks the conscience.

Staff Report No. 25-CMO-024
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
CONSIDERATION OF A POSITION ON LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY C LINE EXTENSION ROUTE INTO TORRANCE
(Senior Management Analyst Ken Bales)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Consider whether to take a position on the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (Metro) C Line extension into Torrance; and
2. Authorize City Manager, if a position is taken, to provide letter representing the
City’s position to the Metro Board.
Executive Summary:
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro Vision 2028 Plan
goal of providing high-quality mobility options that enable people to spend less time
traveling aligns with the mobility goals established in PLAN Hermosa, the City’s general
plan developed in 2017. Metro is currently conducting survey work in anticipation of the
final environmental impact report (EIR) release in the second half of 2025. The two current
routes for the Metro C Line extension are the Right-of-Way Option and the Hawthorne
Option. On March 11, 2025, Mayor Francois, supported by Mayor Pro Tem Seamann and
Councilmember Keegan, requested a future agenda item to consider the City’s position
on the Metro C Line extension.
Background:
In December 2018, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro)
adopted a motion setting an initial one-year pilot operating plan for the K Line
(Crenshaw/LAX) new light rail link. However, the current inability to connect the C and K
Lines due to the Airport Metro Connector (AMC) station construction precludes the
opportunity to pilot the planned alternative for one year, evaluate the performance, and
recommend any changes prior to the AMC opening.
Given the changing circumstances, the Metro Board directed its staff to conduct
significant public outreach in March and April 2023 to provide robust public input in
support of an updated C and K Lines operating plan recommendation. Based on public
input, staff recommended the Metro Board adopt Option 2 (C-2 Alternative), creating a K
Line, operating between Redondo Beach and Expo/Crenshaw, and a C Line, operating
Page 317 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
between Norwalk and the LAX/Metro Transit Center. Option 2 (C-2 Alternative) creating
a simple, easy-to-understand network, was the most supported option from community
outreach, provides direct connection to LAX/Metro Transit Center from all C and K Line
stations, creates north-south (K) and east-west (C) lines in line with regional travel
patterns, utilizes lower resources and operating costs than the previous pilot option, and
provides a north-south corridor consistent with Torrance and Hollywood future
extensions.
At the Metro Board of Directors meeting on May 23, 2024, the Metro Board selected the
staff recommended Hybrid Alternative as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the
Proposed Project in the Final EIR. Metro is currently performing survey work along the
Metro right-of-way (ROW), starting at Redondo Beach (Marine) Station and continuing
four miles south through Lawndale, Redondo Beach, and Torrance, ending at the Mary
K. Giordano Torrance Transit Center. The survey work is expected to be completed by
April of 2025 with the final EIR released to the public in the second half of 2025.
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
August 8, 2023 City Council received and filed a letter in support of the
Metro C and K Line operating plan.
October 10, 2023 Staff provided City Council additional information regarding
the Metro C Line extension into Torrance.
March 11, 2025 Mayor Francois requested, and Councilmembers Seamann
and Keegan supported, directing staff to return with an item
to consider the City’s position on the Metro C Line extension
into Torrance.
Discussion:
The City of Hermosa Beach regularly expresses its support or opposition regarding
legislative matters that would have an impact on the City. For matters that pertain to
longstanding City goals or stances previously expressed by Council, the Mayor may sign
and submit a letter on the City’s behalf. The City of Hermosa Beach’s General Plan, PLAN
Hermosa, outlines goals and policies aimed at reaching the community’s vision for the
future of mobility in Hermosa Beach. PLAN Hermosa’s Mobility Element supports
reducing transportation-related environmental impacts, the development of a multimodal
transportation network that allows travelers the flexibility of choosing sustainable and low-
cost transportation choices that promote and improve public health, environmental quality,
and overall quality of life.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro Vision 2028 Plan
includes the goal of providing high-quality mobility options that enable people to spend
less time traveling. Its mobility and sustainability objectives to combat climate change and
reduce Los Angeles County’s carbon footprint also align with the City’s goals. The City
Page 318 of 328
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
recognizes the pressing need to tackle the adverse impact, in terms of congestion and
environmental degradation, of car trips by single-occupancy motor vehicles. Mobility is
also an imperative for transit-dependent riders.
The City believes that these medium and long-term goals are best served by a north-
south light rail line to provide one-seat service from Hollywood to Torrance. This is a
heavily traveled corridor for which there are currently no viable transportation alternatives-
even by motor vehicle. It has the greatest potential to reduce what currently is intolerable
congestion and to help meet California’s climate goals.
Metro is currently in the process of developing the final EIR for certification in the second
half of 2025. The design of the proposed route involves two different travel corridors. The
Right-of-Way Option follows the existing freight rail path through Redondo Beach and
Lawndale from 190th Street north to Redondo Beach Station. The Hawthorne Option
follows Hawthorne Blvd north of 190th Street to Redondo Beach Station.
Staff recommends City Council consider whether it would like to take a position on the
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) C Line extension into
Torrance.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

modal facilities.
Policies:

mobility through programs for shared equipment or transportation options such as
car sharing and bike sharing.

TENTATIVE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Attached is the current list of tentative future agenda items for Council’s information.
The tentative future agenda provides a preliminary preview of topics planned for
discussion at upcoming City Council meetings over a specified period, typically the next
three months. The items listed in this document are "tentatively" scheduled, meaning they
are subject to change and should not be considered final until the official agenda for each
meeting is posted. This document is a work in progress and offers a glimpse into the City's
priorities and planned discussions, allowing stakeholders to anticipate and prepare for
potential topics of interest.
Key Features of a Tentative Future Agenda Document:
1. Tentative Schedule: Each agenda item is assigned a tentative date, indicating
when it is expected to be discussed. These dates are provisional and may be
adjusted based on various factors.
2. Work in Progress: The document is continuously updated as new items emerge,
priorities shift, or additional information becomes available. This flexibility ensures
City Council can address the most pressing issues in a timely manner.
3. Transparency and Communication: By publishing a tentative future agenda, the
City aims to maintain transparency with residents, businesses, and other
stakeholders. It helps the community stay informed about potential topics of
discussion and provides an opportunity for public engagement and preparation.
4. Fluid Scheduling: The scheduling of agenda items is fluid until the official agenda
for a specific City Council meeting is posted. Changes can occur due to various
reasons, such as new developments, additional preparatory work required, or
changes in workload or priority.

Initiated by: Council Direction Jul. 9, 2019
Public Works Director Council approved $25,000 in
the FY 2023-2024 Budget to
study the District rates and to
consider creating a new
supplemental district. The
study will seek to address the
annual operating deficit, so that
no further subsidies from the
General Fund or other
discretionary funds would be
required. The study should
include District-related
recommendations from the
Parks Master Plan, thereby,
shifting completion of the study
to FY 2024-25. The study is
anticipated to take
approximately 4 to 6 months to
complete pending staff
availability. If council agrees to
then advance the adjustment, it
will need to go to a citywide
ballot in compliance with
Proposition 218. The earliest
ballot would be in November
2026.

the connection between
residential parking permits and
short-term vacation rentals is
strained, enforcement is tough
due to the way certain

properties are held via
corporate entities, and if a

gets caught, banning them from
getting a residential parking
permit in the future would
seemingly vitiate future legal
use as a long term rental.
