BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO RECOMMEND AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN AND
THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ADD A COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING

consider adding a Neighborhood Commercial Manufacturing Overlay Zone and made the
following Findings:
8 A.

modified as a commercial or manufacturing use, or to be converted to a residential use.

The overlay designation can be used to identify and designate unique districts in the
City which historically have developed with a compatible and livable mix of
commercial, manufacturing and residential uses, and where it may be desirable to
continue this mix of uses while giving property owners multiple options for both the
short and long-term use of their property;
The subject text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the general rule set forth in Section
15061(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as there is no possibility that the modification to
the text may have a significant effect on the environment since it is an "overlay" zone
that has no force and effect until the designation is actually applied to a specific
location. Application of the subject overlay zone in any specific location, however,
will require and environmental assessment pursuant to the requirements of CEQA.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach,
California, hereby recommends that the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the
Zoning Ordinance texts be amended as follows:
SECTION 1. Add the following land use category to the Land Use Element of the General
Plan, Volume I, page 27:
Commercial-Manufacturing Overlay: Special overlay designation expanding uses to
include neighborhood compatible small commercial and manufacturing uses that are
otherwise precluded by the primary or base General Plan designation
