RESOLUTION NO. 93-5646
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TO AMEND THE POLICIES OF THE CITY'S COASTAL LAND USE
PLAN IN REGARDS TO PARKING, AND ADOPTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL
NEGATIVE DECLARATION, PENDING APPROVAL OF SAID AMENDMENT BY THE
COASTAL COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on Decembe
14, 1993, to consider oral and written testimony and made th
following Findings:
A. Current parking policies, as contained in the Coasta
Commission Certified Land Use Plan, and current parkin
requirements of the zoning ordinance, do not adequatel
recognize the unique circumstances, historic development an
ownership patterns, and the parking needs of the downtow
commercial area and are thus too stringent. As a result th
current parking policies and requirements are unnecessaril
discouraging potential business growth and new busines
activity;
B. The downtown commercial district is unique in terms of it
parking needs as compared to other commercial areas withi
the City for the following reasons:
1. Its location near and along a regional bike path alo
the beach, which means it is easily accessible to
large population by a significant alternative to a mot
vehicle;
2. Its location near high density residential areas so tha
many people can reach downtown destinations on foot;
3. Its historic ownership and development patterns (smal
lots, small buildings, store fronts on the street, an
pedestrian scale and orientation) for whic

standardized modern parking standards do not apply;
4. The availability of public parking on the street and in
public parking lots which are rarely used to capacity;
5. The variety and mix of commercial uses in a concentrated
area which encourages shared parking trips; .
6. The evening and nighttime orientation of many of the
businesses (restaurants, night clubs, coffee houses,
bars) which differ from beach users peak use of parking
facilities;
7. Its established history as a commercial district where
users are willing to walk or ride bikes, and if driving,
who do not necessarily expect to park near their
specific intended destination, and thus plan ahead to
visit more than one destination within the district;
8. Its location along existing and proposed public transit
routes;
C. Since the downtown district comparatively unique parking
demand is affected by a variety of complex factors, the
amount of increase in parking demand, if any, and the
potential loss of beach access parking is difficult to
determine. However, it can be'mitigated with a commitment by
the city to construct parking to off -set measured increases
in demand;
D. When expansion or changes of use are proposed, businesses and
commercial uses throughout the city should only be
responsible for providing parking for the increased parking
demand, and no longer required to bring.the entire site up to
current codes;
E. The proposed amendments will result in a less than
- 2 -
significant impact on the environment, and more specifically
1 will have a less than significant impact on parking in thel
2 downtown based on the findings noted above in section B and
3 C;
4 NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermosa
5 Beach, California, hereby amends the Coastal Commission certified
Land Use Plan, subject to final approval by the Coastal
6 Commission as follows:
7 SECTION I: Amend the policies of the certified Land Use Plan
Section III to read as follows:
8 Under B. Goals and Objectives add the following:
9 116. To recognize the unique parking needs of the pedestrian
10 oriented downtown business area --which are less than a
typical commercial area because of its proximity to a
1l regional bike path and to high density residential
areas --in order to maximize improvements and expansions
12 to visitor serving business activities without the
burden of unnecessary parking regulations and, further,
13 to encourage alternatives to motorized vehicles in
reaching downtown destinations."
14 Under C.(1.) Existing Policies and Programs; amend the first
15 policy to read as follows
16 "Policy: The City should not allow the elimination of
existing on -street parking or off-street parking spaces
17 within the coastal zone. Future residential and commercial
construction should provide the actual parking necessary to
18 meet the demand generated. In the pedestrian oriented
downtown commercial district alternatives to providing
19 parking to meet increased demands for use should be allowed,
to encourage alternatives to using motorized vehicles and to
20 encourage improvement and enhancement of visitor serving
business activities.,,
21 SECION 2. Amend the policies and programs relating to downtown
22 parking to read as follows (replacing the last paragraph on page
4, the entire page 5, and the first two paragraphs of page 5a):
23
"Program: The City has established the Downtown Business
24 Area Enhancement District Commission (DBAEDC) to determine
the best use of revenue funds for the downtown district which
25 will be recommended to the City Council. The proposed uses
are for the acquisition, construction of new parking
26 facilities, and/or the maintenance and operation of existing
parking facilities for the benefit of the area; for other
27 improvements and enhancements including, but not limited to:
street, landscaping, and pedestrian sidewalk improvements;
28 public events; and the general promotion of business
activities in the area"

Program: To recognize the unique parking needs and
constraints in the downtown district, parking requirements
for new buildings, expansions, and/or intensification of uses
within the downtown district shall be less than required
elsewhere in the City.
i. When parking is required, it shall be 65% of the
requirement as set forth for other areas within the City
ii. Projects on smaller lots within the downtown district,
because of the physical constraints to providing parking
and the desire to promote a pedestrian orientation shall
not be required to provide any parking when the floor
area to building ratio is proposed to be 1:1 or less.
Program: In order to mitigate the impacts of increased
parking demand that is created by new development, but isnot
compensated for by requiring additional parking spaces, the
DBAEDC, or its successor agency or the private party, shall
provide an in -lieu fund transfer or an in -lieu fee to an
improvement fund earmarked specifically for creating parking,
in an amount determined to be sufficient to off -set the
increase in required parking spaces caused by the expansion,
intensification, or new construction not provided on site.
Program: The improvement fund to mitigate increased parking
demand shall be geared to a threshold limit of increased
parking demand. The threshold limit shall be established at
100 parking spaces.
PASSED, APPROVED, ADOPTED this 14th day of December,
1993.
