P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 97-27
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PARKJNG PLAN TO ACCEPT PAYMENT
FEES IN-LJEU OF PROVIDING REQUIRED PARKING ON-SITE TO ALLOW THE
CHANGE OF USE OF AN EXISTING RETAIL SPACE TO A RESTAURANT AT 117
PIER A VENUE, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 1 AND 2, BLOCK 34, FIRST
ADDIDONTOHERMOSABEACH
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 18, 1997, to
receive oral and written testimony regarding the requested Parking Plan to allow a new restaurant
and made the following findings:
A. The applicant is proposing to remodel the interior of an existing retail space, for purposes
of opening a restaurant in a portion of the space and to continue the retail use in the
remaining portion;
B. Accepting fees in lieu of providing any parking on site is appropriate for the proposed use
within the downtown vehicle parking district, and consistent with Section 17.44.190 of the
Zoning Ordinance;
16 C . Pursuant to Section 17.44.210 of the Zoning Ordinance requiring less than the percentage
of on site required parking otherwise required by Section 17.44.190 when accepting in
lieu fees for a site in the 4,000 to 12,000 square foot range, is appropriate in this case
because the following factors reduce the need for required on-site parking: The
uniqueness of proposed combination retail and restaurant use; the probability for a
significant percentage of bicycle and walk-in traffic; and the location within the downtown
district in which available public parking is shared by businesses with varying peak demand
times;
