Sapetto. Ms. Sapetto presented the staff report noting
that Council had received several documents from the firm
of PBR that prepared the EIR. She stated it would be necessary
-3- Minutes 5-22-84'
PROPOSAL FOR A HOTEL (continued
to,certify�this document thus necessitating the adoption of
the findings as proposed. In addition Council received the
response to comments from the Planning Commission hearings
of April 12 and April 19 and the City Council hearings of
May 2 and May 8. She then turned the meeting over to Mr.
Jim Fergus of PBR.
Mr. Fergus stated that PBR ':as transmitted two packages to
Council. The first dated May 17 contained a cover letter
with options available for certification of the EIR, comments
and responses to comments, minutes of the Planning Commission
and City Council, Statement of Overriding Considerations and
CEQA Findings and Statement of Fact. The second package containe
attachment 2 (the staff recommended mitigation measure dealing
with the parking structure on Lot C - a height reduction),
revisions to the CEQA Findings and Statement of Fact to reflect
that mitigation measure and the testimony taken at the Public
Hearing on the Draft EIR as of May 8, 1984 meeting.
Mr. Fergus advised that the options available to Council to
approve the EIR are:
1. By separate resolution, Council could certify this
document.
2. The EIR could be certified as a resolution with the
Specific Plan.
3. The EIR could be certified by resolution with the
Specific Plan and the Development Agreement.
He noted that with regard to the adoption of the Specific
Plan, the City must also act on the following items:
The CEQA findings.and Statements of Fact, and the
Overriding Considerations.
These must be acted upon as part of the resolution.
The next step would be the Notice of Determination which is
filed with the County Clerk as well as the State This notice
states that the City has acted on the project and that the
document is available for public review. This notice establishes;
a 30 -day statute of limitations period for review and challenge.
Ms. Sapetto then answered questigns of Council regarding the
reduction in the height of the parking structure.
ACTION - To certify that the -City Council has considered the
Final Environmental Impact Report ,with findings as listed in
the CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENTS OF FACT dated May 22, 1984
and STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS dated May 22, 1984.
Motion Wood, second Mayor Brutsch
AYES - Barks, Cioffi, DeBellis, Wood, Mayor Brutsch
NOES - None
-4- Minutes 5-22-84
PROPOSAL FOR A HOTEL (Continued)
Prior to the vote on the above motion, City Manager Meyer
replied to questions of Council regarding the burying of
the first floor of the parking structure by stating that
the developer is not required to do this but it appears,
from talking with the bond counsel, that this will
be a necessary part of the project to qualify for tax-exempt
public financing.
Coming forward to speak to Council was Joe Langlois, Greenwood -
Langlois, 11726 San Vincente Boulevard, Los Angeles, answering
questions asked regarding the height of the parking structure.
He stated that by burying the first floor of the structure the
height would be reduced to 18 feet. The additional cost would
be $1500 per stall which they feel they could absorb. This
would allow the handicapped spaces to be placed adjacent to the
elevator core and allow two points of access and egress so as
to eliminate congestion.
Councilman Wood expressed his concern of the type of answers
that Council has been receiving. City Manager Meyer stated
that the Development Agreement would address the issues of
height and parking versus hotel. This aspect of the project
was intentionally called to the attention of everyone and he
agreed that there was both a social and an environmental impact.
He noted that only a small portion of the parking structure
would be underground.
4. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF ZONING CHANGE - 2604 HERMOSA AVENUE.
Mr. Alan Neiger, Appellant. Memorandum from Planning Director
Pamela Sapetto dated May 14, 1984.
Councilman Wood declared a conflict of interest and left the
dais.
The staff report was presented by Planning Director Sapetto.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Speaking on behalf of the Appellant, Mr. Neiger, was Cathy
May, 709 - 27th Street, Manhattan Beach. She stressed that
this property has had residential use since the building
was originally built until the time it was destroyed by fire.
Mr. Niger sought a zone change to R-3 to allow him to build
a three-story residence. Ms. May cited sections of the Housing
Element and Land Use Element of the General Plan whereby only
density is referred to, not the particular type of dwelling,
and emphasized consistency with the neighborhood. Mr. Neiger
would be willing to accept a deed restriction. Ms. May stated
that their application was for R-3 and they would not be in
favor of any attempt to rezone to R-2.
-5- Minutes 5-22-84
APPEAL - 1604 HERMOSA AVENUE (continued)
City Attorney Post stated that he had advised Ms. May to
offer as many reasons as she could as to why R-3 would be
consistent with the General Plan and,if the case could be
made that it is consistent, it is legal. The Council was
advised their duty was to make the decision as to whether
it is consistent with the General Plan to :change it to R-3.
Speaking from the audience was Wilma Burt, 1152 - 7th Street,
who questioned whether the General Plan should be changed or
the zoning changed to establish consistency in the area.
Ms. May again addressed Council stating that under R-2 they
would be limited to two stories and 30 feet, and the lot
value would be higher if zoned C-1.
The Public Hearing was closed.
ACTION - To deny the appeal for a proposed zone change from
C-1 to R-3 at 2604 Hermosa Avenue and adept Resolution No.
84-4710 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DENYING A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST
FROM C-1 TO R-3 ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2604 HERMOSA AVENUE."

5. HERMOSA BEACH BILTMORE HOTEL, PROPOSAL (DEVELOPERS, GREENWOOD
& LANGLOIS WITH ADJACENT PARKING STRUCTURES: SPECIFIC PLAN
(LOCAL COASTAL PLAN AMENDMENT) AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND
APPEAL OF PLANNING =,L,sISSION RECOMMENDATIONS (Thomas Francis,
Parker Herriott). Supplemental Information - Letter Petition
signed by 16 area residents in favor of Hotel; Letter from
Thomas Allen III dated May 17, 1984 in favor of Hotel; Letter
from Parker Herriott dated May 22, 1984 in opposition to Hotel;
Letter from Paul W. Shank M.D. dated May 21, 1984 in favor of
Hotel; Letter from Linda Bek Drewry dated May 21, 1984 with
petition signed by 129 area residents in favor of Hotel; Letter
from Michael Escalante, President of Hermosa Beach Homeowners
& Residents Association dated May 22, 1984 with 28 letters
and cards in support of Hotel.
a. Approval of a Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan amend-
ment for the project site, with Ordinance: "AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH WHICH ADOPTS A SPECIFIC PLAN
TO REGULATE DEVELOPMENT IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA BETWEEN 15TH
& 13TH STREETS AND THE STRAND AND HERMOSA AVENUE AS INDI-
CATED ON EXHIBIT 1 AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT 2."
Planning Director Pamela Sapetto presented the staff report.
Upon questioning of Council, Ms. Sapetto, City Manager Meyer
and Building Director Grove all concurred that the proposed
hotel was in fact five stories, not four stories and a
mezzanine as stated in the proposed ordinance.
-6- Minutes 5-22-84
HERMOSA BEACH BILTMORE HOTEL PROPOSAL (continued)
When questioned by Council regarding Sections 208 and 1201
of 'the Zoning Code, Building Director Grove indicated that
Section 208 building height includes parapet walls or
railings and Section 1201 indicates that elevator and stairway
penthouses, mechanical equipment, parapet walls, etc., may
be located above the allowable height limit to screen the
allowable equipment from view. He stated the mansard roof
would not be considered a parapet wall.
City Manager Meyer stated that the reason for this type of
construction was because it was the best representation
consistent with the overall design criteria which came from
the Biltmore Committee and the Planning Department. This
design would be sensitive to the up -hill view.- He stressed
the developer is not obligated to use the mansard roof but
is doing so even though it will be more costly.
City Attorney Post, upon questioning by Council, stated that
the more specific generally governs over the more general.
He concurred with Mr. Grove regarding the Zoning Ordinance
sections which are in conflict regarding allowable building
height. Ms. Sapetto advised Council that this was addressed
on page 4 of the proposed ordinance as follows: "That the
project will exceed the City's 45 foot vertical height restriction
for commercial development with elevator and stairway penthouses
and other equipment necessary to operate the building as
permitted in Section 1201 of the City Code. In order to screen
the equipment from view, a mansard roof not to exceed nine
(9) feet in height will be constructed around the parameter of
the roof."
City Manager Meyer then summarized the focus of this meeting
regarding the Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan Amendment.
The Public Hearing was opened. Coming forward were:
Joe-Langlo-ist Greenwood/Langlois, stated_he.would address the
Spetific.Plan and ---some of the elements that are in.it. He stressed
that this is not the Development Agreement — approval tonight
does not mean approval of the project. This is only the path
to approval. He stressed that the allowable square footage is
240,000 - they will build 183,000 square feet. They are
complying with the 45 -foot height limit although not the three
story limit. They are willing to bear the additional cost of
the mansard roof to improve the appearance.
Parker Herriott, 224 - 24th Street, appellant, submitted'.to
Council a supplement to his appeal letter. He questioned the
number of employees necessary, employee parking, and number of
necessary parking spaces to accommodate all patrons of the
hotel (1999). Mr. Herriott asked that the budget be presented
to the people in such a way so they can understand it, especially
if we are heading for bankrupcy.
-7- Minutes 5-22-84
HERMOSA BEACH BILTMORE HOTEL PROPOSAL (continued
Robert Carson, 1707 Pacific Coast Highway - § ensitive to
height limit and asked Council to obey the law re_ height limits.
Neil Gretsky, 1535 Bayview Drive - noted that urban sociologists
have examined the behavior that Hermosa is going through and
presented a bibliography of references on this subject. Stated
that EIR was adopted although there were some questions that
were not addressed and the public hearing was not continued.
He stressed that environmental problems are increased and
added that "good business climate" generally means that the
local area pays for the large developer to move in with no
recovery of costs of the growth. He felt that local groups
opposed to growth must mobilize and make the strongest showing
possible to reverse "the backroom deal". He quoted the Mayor
re the decision on Five Corners - zoning codes are meant to
maintain consistency throughout the City .
Bob Payne, 1637 The Strand - strongly in favor of the hotel
on the Biltmore site. Also strongly in favor of open space
in Hermosa Beach but not adjacent to the beach. What is needed
from the Biltmore site is some way to provide revenues -
property taxes, drilling for oil or users fee on the beach
and renters.
Bill Key, 55 - 14th Street, Manager of Grandview Hotel -
considers Biltmore site a blighted area, commended Council
for attempting to find a solution to the problem, feels
guests at Grandview Hotel will be denied a view of the ocean -
suggested alternative of building hotel over 14th Street to
give hotel guests view and access to the beach. He suggested
a bed tax to retire the revenue bonds and feels 8% bed tax in
Hermosa Beach could be used to promote Hermosa Beach. His final
recommendation was to turn the Biltmore site into a public
green area.
Linda Drewry, 323 - 30th Street - submitted a.petition with
129 signatures in favor of the hotel. Also advised Council
that Pat and Myron Gazin were strongly in favor of the hotel.
Judge Vernon Foster, 15 - 15th Street - project exceeds height
limit and three -floor limitation, conflicts with Coastal Plan,
and violates the code in that it provides no self-contained
parking. Blue Ribbon Commission suggested 150-200 rooms versus
the 260 rooms proposed by the developer. Judge Foster quoted
from the Development Agreement regarding the height limit and
parking. He questioned the legality of the proposal whereby
the Vehicle Parking District or the Parking Authority would
take care of the developer's parking requirements - the City
entering into a joint venture'with a private developer for the
benefit of the private developer. Judge Foster quoted from
a Supreme Court decision on the case of the City and County of
San. Francisco versus Ross (a project to build a parking structure
the purpose of the parking structure to benefit a private entity).
This decision stated that the building of this structure could
not be exercised to secure to private activities the means to
HERMOSA BEACH BILTMORE HOTEL PROPOSAL (continued)
carry on a private business whose primary objective and purpose
is private gain and not public need. Judge Parker advised
that under the Parking District Law of 1949, the City may
issue bonds to construct a parking structure if it is legal.
He cited Section 33101 of the Streets and Highways Code
which authorizes the City to issue such bonds but it requires
that before any bond issue is authorized it must be submitted
to a vote of the electorate. Section 33101.5 permits a
similar procedure but applies to a specific parking project - it
also authorizes issuance of bonds but only after an election
and approval by the electorate. Section 33101.6 authorizes
the issuance of bonds without a public vote (the section
Mr. Stradling, Bond Counsel, is citing.) Judge Parker stated
he felt this Development Agreement was one of the poorest
he has ever seen and questioned the validity of the project.
Mayor Brutsch continued the Public Hearing to June 12 on the
following:
a. Approval of a Specific Plan and Local Coastal
Plan amendment for the project site.
b. Conditional Use Permits for alcoholic beverages,
live entertainment, customer dancing and outside
dining.
C. Financial feasibility and design for parking
structures on Lot B and Community Center.
d. Discussion and future direction to staff regarding
Development Agreement, Option to Lease and
Ground Lease.
A recess was called at 10:15 P.M.
The meeting was reconvened at 10:35 P.M.
e. Request for Additional City Council Meeting on
May 29, 1984. Letter dated May 15, from Developer
Joe Langlois, Greenwood & Langlois.
City Manager Meyer addressed Council regarding this

Hermosa Beach. He felt that a multi-year agreement would limit
the City's response to future changes and requirements they
might have. He posed questions such as what would happen if a
system failed or if a city pulled out (who would bear cost).
Captain Straser also felt that a multi-year contract would reduce
the individual incentive to improve,and affects morale. He
made the recommendation that the City not join in a multi-
year agreement.
Fire Chief Ron Simmons commended Mr. Benson for a great job
done with RCC but recommended not approving a five-year
contract with RCC for many of the same reasons as presented by
Captain Straser. He felt that the fire departments in the
five cities associated with RCC should have a computerized
fire despatch system before commiting to a five-year contract.
Mr. Benson thanked Council for the opportunity to present
the RCC's request for extens:i.on of the contract. He stated
that 99% of their fire calls were answered in 12 seconds or
less and they have similar high percentages for the other types
of calls they handle.

-11- Minutes 5-22-84
SURPLUS SCHOOL PROPERTIES (continued
ACTION - To schedule a joint meeting with the Hermosa Beach
School Board to try to reach a solution to the problem of the
surplus school sites at 7:30 on June 4 as a .regular Adjourned Meeting.
Motion Barks, second Mayor Brutsch
AYES - Barks, Cioffi, DeBellis, Mayor Brutsch
NOES - Wood
FURTHER ACTION - To buy the Prospect Heights playground
for the open space appraisal of $168,750.
Motion DeBellis, second Cioffi
AYES - Barks, Cioffi, DeBellis, Wood, Mayor Brutsch
NOES - None
PROPOSED ACTION - To trade a rezoned Fort Lots -O -Fun for
Seaview Parkette.
Motion Barks - Dies for lack of a second.
City Manager Meyer advised Council that, assuming the
District accepts the offer for a meeting, they should determine
the City's strategy in this matter. Mayor Brutsch stated that
Council had offered a certain number of dollars for certain
parcels and that has not changed. City Manager Meyer noted
that the School Board was meeting on May 23 but there had been
discussions with the Board and the Superintendent. He had been
led to believe that the City's offer to purchase Seaview Parkette
for cash was unacceptable because the offer to purchase was
per the appraisal assuming open space value. The District
feels that that kind of transaction would be acceptable only
if the zoning of Seaview Parkette was retained as residential.
Thus the appraisal would be $330,000.
10. RESULTS FROM SOLICITING PROPOSALS FOR HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
CONSULTANTS. Memorandum from Planning Director Pamela Sapetto
dated May 16, 1984.
City Manager Meyer advised Council that he. had received a
letter, delivered by messenger on this date, from Mr. Robert
Kruger, representing one of the firms that did submit a
proposal, and they voiced objection to the process whereby
they were not interviewed by Council. They requested that
the process be structured to allow for interviews. Staff
recommended that Council proceed on proposals solicited.
Planning Director Sapetto presented the staff report. Upon
questioning by Council regarding drainage, Ms. Sapetto
suggested returning at a later date with the information
requested. City Manager .Meyer recommended that if a reservoir
engineer was necessary, Council should allow the legal firm
to work with the City on the hiring of that engineer, thus
it would not hold up the RFP.
-12- Minutes 5-22-84
HYDROCARBON RECOVERY (continued)
ACTION - To approve the staff recommendation as follows:
(1) To select the firm of Richards, Watson, Dreyfuss and
Gershon.
(2) To authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract
with the above firm to perform the services outlined in
their proposal.

Prospective Expenditures.
Motion Barks, second Mayor Brutsch
AYES - Barks, Cioffi, DeBellis, Mayor Brutsch
NOES - Wood
Prior to the vote on the above motion, City Clerk Reviczky
advised Council that July 10 was the date by which measures
and wording had to be selected for the November ballot and
that the consultant selected had agreed to have the work
completed within three months. Speaking on behalf of the
firm of Richards, Watson, Dreyfuss and Gershon was Mr. Anthony
Drury, 323 - 30th Street, Hermosa Beach who advised Council
that he would make this information known to the supervising
attorney, Glenn Watson.

14. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC - MATTERS OF AN URGENCY
1V ,ft I U ttY,
Richard Greer, 629 - 24th Place spoke to Council and
presented a petition signed by 24 area residents regarding
the zoning of property commonly known as 636 - 24th Place.
Also presented was a letter from Raymond and Marie Waters,
615 - 24th Place regarding the same piece of property dated
May 22, 1984. Mr. Greer cited numerous sections of the
Hermosa Beach Zoning Code which they feel have been violated
with the lot split that was allowed at 636 - 24th Place.
He also stressed that this lot split would increase the
density of the neighborhood, increase the parking problems, cited
lack of fire truck access because of illegal parking, decrease
in property values, and sixteen out of the 24 properties owners
contacted in the immediate vicinity signed the petition.
Mr. Grove stated that re Section 403 - Creation of lots less
than 4000 sq. ft. in area - two 25 -foot lots were legally
created. Re Sections 1203, 1203.1 and 1203.2 - combined lots -
State law has preempted the City from governing this. Section
405(3) - distance between habitable buildings - does not apply
-15- Minutes 5-22-84
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (continued
when buildings are on separate properties. Re Section 1217
regarding separation of "row" houses having side entrances -
accurately this is row houses fronting on a side yard.
Section 1220 re prohibitions of increase in population density -
these lots are two legal lots of record. Section 404 regarding
maximum lot coverage - plans not reviewed - Mr. Grove will
look at the lot coverage proposed by the development. Article
14 re variances - Mr. Grove was not sure what they were referring
to.
City Attorney Post advised that over the past years cities have
been free to merge lots. Several years ago the State unmerged
everyone's lots - all the lots that had been merged by local
ordinance. There is now a procedure,effective this year,to
remerge lots if the Council decides to do this.
Mr. Greer stated that he and the other area residents felt that
the Zoning Ordinance has been published and that should be what
the City goes by,with no indication that State law preempts
the City law. He felt that Council should pit a moratorium
on anything from this point on until they can study the problem
to be able to control the density.
Councilman Wood stressed that this case hdd been concluded and
could not be reversed but possibly it could be precluded in
the future.
ACTION •- To have the appropriate staff meet with the neighbors
on 24th Place to discuss this issue, this meeting to be as soon
as possible. -
Motion Mayor Brutsch, second Cioffi
AYES - Barks, Cioffi, DeBellis, Wood, Mayor Brutsch
NOES - None
City Attorney Post was asked by Councilman DeBellis how this
moratorium could be instituted. Mr.. Post stated that it could
be enacted as an urgency ordinance. The properties it applied
to would be a vested rights question. Under State law, if
a development is proposed which would be inconsistent with
present plans or plans under consideration, you can adopt a
moratorium that maintains the status quo while you work out any
changes to the zoning laws so that you do not have inconsistent
developments before you can enact the ordinance.
15. OTHER MATTERS - CITY COUNCIL
(a) Councilman Wood stressed his displeasure with receiving
the Demands and Warrants and Minutes after delivery of
the agenda packets.
(h) Councilman Cioffi asked Council to consider attempting
to conclude Council meetings by 11:00 P.M.
-16- Minutes 5-22-84
OTHER MATTERS - CITY COUNCIL (continued
(c) Councilman Barks expressed his concern regarding the
appointment of a second delegate to the Railroad Right -
of -Way Subcommittee.
ACTION - To appoint Councilmember Barks as the alternate
to the Railroad Right -of -Way Subcommittee.
Motion Mayor -Brutsch, second DeBellis. So ordered.
(d) Councilman Barks apologized to Councilman Cioffi for
not supporting adjourning the meeting earlier in the
evening as he had assumed the meeting would move faster.
He expressed his support of Councilman Cioffi's request
to have an 11:00 P.M. conclusion of Council meetings.
(e) Councilman Barks also apologized to Mr. Ayers for the
verbal contest at the last meeting.
(f) Councilman DeBellis asked for clarification of the
halting of the street lighting work at Ardmore and 30th
Street. Public Works Director Clark stated that a meeting
had been held with the residents of the area and a report
would be forthcoming. He stressed his desire to continue
this work stoppage until the residents could come before
Council.
PROPOSED ACTION - To instruct Public Works to continue
with this CIP project as soon as possible (Ardmore from
Gould to the North City limits).
Motion Wood, second DeBellis
AYES - DeBellis, Wood
NOES - Barks, Cioffi, Mayor Brutsch Motion fails.

Regular Meeting of
June 12, 1984
Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
STREET LIGHTING PROJECT ARDMORE AVENUE
GOULD AVENUE TO THIRTIETH STREET
Recommendation:
It is recommended by the Public Works Director that the Hermosa
Beach City Council terminate the street lighting project on
Ardmore Avenue between Gould Avenue and Thirtieth Street. The
poles that are currently installed, are to be exempt..
On the other hand, it is recommended by
the City Council reaffirm the overriding
street lighting on Ardmore (Gould Avenue
direct that staff develop and implement
configuration (shorter poles, lights to
side).
Background•
the City Manager that
community need for public
to Thirtieth Street) and
an alternate light pole
be screened on the east
The above mentioned street lighting project was conceived as part
of the 1982-83 and 1983-84 fiscal budgets for the Street Lighting
District. Periodic updates were provided to the City Council re-
garding the project by -means of activity reports. It represented
the City's interest in upgrading the sources and levels of illumi-
nation on the City's streets.
In April of this year, the Department commenced the Project.
Shortly thereafter, residents adjacent to the project began to
voice their objections (see attached Diagram 1 for proposed loca-
tion of street lights). At this point the following actions were
taken:
1) Telephonic communication with residents ensued regarding the
aspects of the project.
2) A representative of the group was taken to the City Yard to
view poles that were to be erected and shown the illuminaries.
Following that, a trip to the project site was made where the
locations of two of the proposed street lights were.moved so
as to reduce the impact on the adjacent resident's view
corridor.
3) A petition was forwarded to the City requesting that the project
be stopped until a public hearing was held, (see attached
Exhibit 1).
4) Project stopped.
5) May 16, 1984 a neighborhood meeting was held at a resident's
home to discuss the project. All affected parties were present.
Residents stated the following objections:
a) View corridor impacted
b) Project has negative economic impact on adjacent homes. z
c) The illumination of the street creates an
unsafe situation in that currently, at night,
a driver can see the headlights of an oncoming
vehicle as they prepare to turn onto Ardmore
Avenue from Thirtieth Street.
d) Pedestrian safety is reduced due to the light
standards reducing the width of the sidewalk.
(The sidewalk is 4 1/2' wide, the pole bases
are 10" in diameter at the base and taper to
6" in diameter at the top and are 29" high.)
e) Light spillage will occur into the adjacent homes.
f) The installation of the light standard at Thitieth
Street and Ardmore -will reduce visibility of
vehicles traveling west on 30th Street wishing
to enter Ardmore.
Every resident objected to the project and very strongly
stated their opposition to its completion. No support
whatsoever was present At this point, it was the Director
of Public Works' opinion that based on the total lack of
neighborhood support, the project would be terminated unless
the City Council saw fit to proceed. This has been conveyed
to the residents.
6) The City Council,_at the May 22, 1984 meeting, requested
a hearing regarding the street lighting project. June
12, 1984 is set as the date for this meeting, after
consultation with neighborhood representatives.
7) Notice of meeting delivered to all parties concerned
(see Exhibit 2).
Analysis:
Street Lighting is a means of improving the urban environment
through increased comfort, convenience and safety of night -
traffic operation and reduced crime and accidents. Lighting
in itself, cannot produce traffic safety, but it can signif-
icantly improve the efficiency of traffic operations and
provide increased traffic safety as a by product.
Street lighting provides the contrast of objects necessary
in nighttime visual perception. Contrast is one of the most
important contributors in nighttime visual performance.
To a great extent, the recognition of objects is based upon
a discrimination of brightness differences between an object
and its background. Suggested levels of illumination for
a residential collector is 0.6 horizontal footcandle.
(A footcandle being the illumination on a surface one square
foot in area on which there is a uniformly distributed
flux of one lumen, or the illumination produced on a surface,
all points of which are at a distance of one foot from a
directionally uniform point source of one candle.) There
-2-
currently are no street lights between Gould Avenue and
Thitieth Street on Ardmore, therefore the ambient light
is all that is provided.
In regard to existing traffic volumes, average daily traffic
volumes for Ardmore Avenue from Gould Avenue to the north
city limits is 6,500 cars per day. Nighttime traffic volumes
(6:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m.) are 1,992 per 12 hour period. Review
of the traffic accident picture for 1984 indicates one
nighttime accident.
An examination of all factors considered in a purely textbook
approach would indicate that the lights were warranted. However,
as public servants, the concerns of the surrounding residences
(ten homes) must be taken ihto-consideration. It has long
been the City's policy to attempt to obtain as much feedback
on items of public interest as possible. Once obtained,
the feedback has been instrumental in the decision making
process. In following this procedure, it is clearly evident
that this segment of the community has made their feelings
very clear.

Director of Public Works

City Manager Note:
This portion of Ardmore is an incline and is on a curve. There
is a definite potential liability to the City for having such a
location unlit; the Lighting District has adequate funds to
engineer and construct, so, in my opinion, to fail to act would
be unconscionable. Rather than the "standard" light pole, clearly
what is needed is a modified design.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 894, as amended, Cortese. Real property: subdivisions:
merger.
(1) Existing law prescribes procedures and criteria by
which a city or county, pursuant to local ordinance, may effect
the merger of 2 or more contiguous parcels of land held by the
same owner, and unmerges previously merged parcels for
which a notice of merger had not been recorded, if the parcel
meets specified criteria.
This bill would revise those procedures and criteria.
(2) Various provisions of existing law relating to -merger of
parcels, as enacted by Chapter 845 of the Statutes of 1983, do
not become operative until July 1, 1984.
This bill would delete the delayed operative date of those
provisions.
(3) Existing law requires cities and counties to give,
specified notices for the purpose of informing the owners of

contiguous parcels of land that the parcels may have merged,
and prescribes procedures whereby the property owner may
request a determination by the local agency that the parcels
are merpged or that the parcels, meeting specified criteria, are
Lz
unrnerged. as
This bill would delete those notice requirements and
would, instead, render void any merger of parcels resulting
from a local agency's failure to comply with the requirements k
of existing law, as amended by this bill, for effecting a merger,
and would render voidable any merger resulting from a local
agency's failure to comply with any prior law estabishing
requirements for the merger of contiguous parcels. The bill
would provide for a determination by a city or county that
parcels meeting specified criteria are deemed not to have
merged.
� Ex
(4) The bill would state the Legislature's intent regarding
certain of its provisions.
By revising the existing procedures and criteria pursuant to 7
which commonly -owned, contiguous parcels may be merged
by cities and counties, the bill would impose a state -mandated
local program.
(5) Article XIII B of the California Constitution and k
Sections 2231 and 223=1 of the Revenue and Taxation. Code
require the state to reimburse local agencies and school
districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Other'
provisions require . the Department of Finance to review kT
statures disclaiming these costs and provide, in certain cases, _s
for making claims to the State Board of Control for
reimbursement.
However, this bill would provide that no appropriation is
made and no reimbursement is required by this act for a
specified reason. t'

SPECIFIC PLAN FOR A HOTEL PROJECT IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA
Pursuant to the last review by the City Council of the Specific Plan, Mr. Langlois will
present to the Council a description of the height of the proposed hotel at each point
including the roof and elevator mechanical structure.
As indicated to you during the 5-22-84 public hearing, the mansard roof is not
considered an exception to the height limit. Staff however, recommends approval of
the design component since it is a substantial improvement to the structure with
respect to the uphill view.
For this meeting, staff recommends:
a. Approval of a Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan amendment for the
project site. (Attached)
b. Approval of Conditional Use Permits for alcoholic beverages, live enter-
tainment, customer dancing and outside dining.
C. Discussion of feasibility and design for parking structures on Lot B and
Community Center, if time permits.
d. Discussion and future direction to staff regarding the DDA, Option to
Lease and Ground Lease, if time permits.
With respect to the DDA, the City's Bond Counsel and development consulta,lts

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the City Council of June 12, 1984
MERGER OF SUBSTANDARD LOTS
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt the attached resolution (Exhibit A) directing the
Planning Commission to research and assess the provisions
of Article 1.5 and 1.7, Chapter 3, Division 2 of Title 7
of the California Government Code.
2) Consider adopting the attached emergency interim ordinance
(Exhibit B) which would prevent development on lots eligible
for merger pending further action by City Council.
Background
The provisions of the Zoning Ordinance regulating combining
lots (Section -s 1203 and 1203.1) were rendered invalid by
Section 66424.2. of the California Government Code. This
section has since been replaced by Articles 1.5 and 1.7,
Chapter 3,- Division 2 of Title 7 of the Califoria Government
Code as the sole authority for the merger of contiguous parcels.
In November of 1981, the City Council passed a resolution of
intention (81-4476) to repeal Sections 1203, 1203.1, and 1203.2
of the Zoning Ordinance and enact new sections which would
conform to the requirements of Section 66424.2. by providing
for due process noticing and public hearings. In December of
1981, the Planning Commission passed a resolution (P.C. 81-43)
to recommend that the provisions of the previous City Council
resolution (81-4476) be enacted. The resolution also recommended
that the City perform an organized program of discoveries,
notifications, hearings, etc. for lots which were merged or were
to be merged. A fiscal analysis of the proposed program was
performed but no further action was taken on the matter.
The subject is being brought to the Council again at the request
of a number of residents who submitted petitions.
City Council Meeting - dune 12, 1984
Merger of Substandard Lots
Page 2
Analysis
The situation protested by the residents typically involves
demolition of a single dwelling constructed over two or three
very narrow lots followed by construction of a new dwelling on
each lot of record. This increased density can have negative
impacts such as loss of available street parking, increased
traffic congestions, etc.
The means to avoid this situation is by merging the lots into
a single parcel. Merging of lots can only be accomplished within
the guidelines established by Articles 1.5 and 1.7, Chapter 3,
Division 2 of Title 7 of the California Government Code.
Staff recommends #1 will provide for an assessment by the Planning
Commission of the above referenced articles and how the require-
ments for merger could be implemented.
Items that should be addressed include:
1)
magnitude - How many parcels are
affected?
2)
Environmental
Impact - Cumulative
effect if all potential
parcels are
developed?
3)
Procedures -
How is the mandated
due process accomplished?
4)
Fiscal Impact
- What are the costs
for implementing a program
of merging lots?
How are property tax revenues
affected?
Should the Council wish to prevent development on those lots
potentially eligible for merger, the attached emergency interim
ordinance could be adopted. Adoption of an emergency ordinance
requires four (4) affirmative votes.
Alternatives
1) The merger of lots is permissable by State law but not mandatory.
The Council could choose to take no action.

June 5, 1984
Subject Unmerging of merged lots.
To 1,:ayor Brutsch
Rather,than add one more telephone call to the many ,you may be
�i receiving, I will make my plea to the members of the Hermosa -Beach
city council by letter.
position on the proposed moratorium on unmerging of merged lots
is to strongly oppose the unmerging process, and, hence, the proposed
construction at 636 24th Place. This, in spite of the fact that my
house is 33 years old, occupies two full lots, and has not been
significally upgraded. Therefore, my property is a prime candidate
for the same action as is being taken at yr 636, next door. Yet I
feel that the immediate best interests cf the residents of 24th
Place, and the long range best interests of the entire city, will
be served by immediate application of this moratorium.
Respectfully,
Willis L. Dobbins

Attention: Gregory T. Meyer
City Manager
Dear Mr. Meyer:
Due to the number of merged parcels of land that have
recently been unmerged and built upon in the city and
the imminent possibility of one more parcel being divided,
we are ur:;ing the City Council to act to declare a morator-
ium on further actions of this kind until the City of
Hermosa has the opportunity to examine the impact on the
city of this increase in the density of established
neighborhoods.
please place this on the agenda of the next City Council
meeting.
A petition regarding this -_uestion 1aill be -presented to
support this action.
Sincere-ly,yo-urs

Mayor, City Council
Dear Gary:
I may not be able to make
the proposed Biltmore project,
a couple of thoughts.
6-12-84
the hearing tonight regarding
but I wanted to pass along
This decision, like most, is not "pure" yes or no.
It's 60/40, good news and not. That's not intended to lead
to dispair on your (all 5) part, rather to liberation in
your decisionmaking. I lean 60 in favor, from what I have
heard and read, knowing full well that I have reservations
about 40.
If you feel so inclined, based on the available
information at this time and after much discussion and
many hearings and group meetings, then vote accordingly.
If you don't, then do that.
But vote, one way or the other, knowing it is 60/40.
Please don't throw it back to the voters through indecision
on your (all 5) part. Negotiate the best possible agreement
and go for it!
Peace,

ning Aide.

IV. SCHOOL DISTRICT LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
The staff report was given by Mr. Mercado. He stated that the Appli-
cant -- Hermosa Beach School District-- was proposing to sell a por-
tion of Hermosa View School. The reason for the sale of the land is
due to its pronounced slope which renders it impractical for school
purposes. Furthermore, there have been some erosion problems. Once
the land is sold individually to the adjacent six property owners,
they will landscape and take preventative measures against the erosion.
He continued by saying that the project is viewed as being in the pub-
lic interest, in that it is the first step towards mitigating the drain-
age problem experienced by the six adjacent residents. Therefore,
staff recommends that the Commission approve this project by adopt-
ing the attached resolution whcih contains the following condition.
PAGE 9
Motion by Comm Smith, seconded by Comm Shapiro, to adopt Resolution
83-16 approving the final plan for 75 units, subject to the various
whereas's and stipulations contained in the suggested resolution with
the following change to the introductory paragraph: "A resolution of
the Planning Commission of Hermosa Beach Approving the final plan for
75 condominiums, tentative tract map #22187 and Conditional Use Per-
mit for property located at 440 - 2nd Street, also known as the
'Boatyard site'."
AYES: Chrmn Peirce; Comms Brown, Shapiro, Smith, Strohecker
NOES: Comm Izant
ABS: None
VI. SEVEN UNIT CONDOMINIUM, CUP AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP #42874
The staff report was given by Mr. Mercado. He stated that the project
consists of a two-story (over_ garages) seven unit condominium on a
9,961 square foot lot with a general plan designation of high density
and R-3 zoning. The project meets all the requirements of the condo-
minium ordinance and is consistent with the General Plan. He stated
that staff recommends that this project, which meets all condominium
ordinance requirements, be approved.
Chrmn Peirce suggested that perhaps the plan
(® code with respect to common garages/tandem
that only three of the spaces were tandem.
of Buildings opinion was that the proposed
code, a common garage, and, further, that
spaces are tandem.
Public hearing opened.
may be in violation of the
parking. Mr. Mercado stated
He added that the Director
garage is, as defined in the
only 30 percent of these
Allan H. Juckes, 27310 Rainbow Ridge Road, Palos Verdes Peninsula --
applicant -- stated in response to Chrmn Peirce's question that there
were no doors on the garages and in fact he had been told by the city
that he could not install doors in a common garage without violating
the code. He added that he didn't need the doors because the project
was set back further than. 50 feet from the street.
Curt Camper, 1.26 Monterey, Hermosa Beach, stated that this was a very
good idea since that portion. of Monterey is at the present time a
mess of overgrowth. He felt that the developer should be encouraged
to build, and the sooner the better.
Comm Izant stated that using the roof deck to serve as open space for
another unit was a novel approach. In Hermosa you have to use creative
architecture. He wanted a confirmation that that area would be struc-
turally stronger to accommodate foot -traffic. Ms. Sapetto assured him
that when the drawings come to the city the Building Code requires that
this sort of building be checked,i.e., dwellings one above another.
Public Hearing closed.
Notion by Comm Shapiro, seconded by Comm Smith to approve the seven
unit condominium, CUP and Tentative Tract Map #42874, located at
100-112 Monterey Boulevard.
PAGE 10
AYES: Chrmn Peirce; Comms Brown, Izant, Shapiro, Smith and Strohecker
NOES: None
ABS: None
Ms. Sapetto stated that the words "if the planning Commission deems
it necessary" should be deleted from items number three and. four of
the proposed resolution.
Motion by Comm Shapiro, seconded by Comm Smith, to approve Resolution
83-17 subject to the change suggested by Ms. Sapetto.
AYES: Chrmn Peirce; Comms Brown, Izant, Shapiro, Smith and Strohecker
NOES: None
ABS: None
VII. REGULATION OF SATELLITE RECEIVING ANTENNAE
The staff report was given by Ms. Sapetto. She stated that staff was
asking the Commission to adopt a Resolution of Intention to regu-
late the installation of satellite receiving antennas. She added that
the city of Torrance had a similar resolution and she would provide
copies of it to Commission at the next meeting. She advised Commission
that if they felt that antennas should be regulated to some extent
C, then they should adopt the attached Resolution of intention.
Chrmn Peirce stated that at the present time this did not appear to
be a problem but with decreasing costs to erect these antennas they
may soon be proliferating in the city. He added that they look similar
to a solar panel, only not as attractive. He encouraged the Commission
to go forward and examine this issue.
Comm. Smith agreed and added that if the computer revolution is any in-
dicator the installation of these antennas will increase rapidly over
the next five years; and he didn't want a neighborhood filled with
them to downgrade the neighborhood's appearance, not to mention the in-
terference. Comm Brown agreed.
Motion by Comm Smith, seconded by Comm Izant to adopt resolution 83-18;
there being no objection it was so moved.
VII. REDEFINING HOTEL/MOTEL/BOARDING HOUSE/ROOMING HOUSE/LODGING HOUSE
Chrmn Peirce stated that the council wants hotels and motels to have
cooking facilities and they want parking to be scaled to the size of
the project. He was somewhat dismayed by the councils request, since
the Commission had put a lot of thought and reasoning into these defin-
ions. He also felt that kitchen facilities would make the hotels/motels
too similar to apartments, and it may be difficult to keep them from
( becoming apartments.
Mr. Mercado suggested that the city could possibly place as a condition
of approval that there be periodic assessments of the records to deter

EXPERIENCE: 1/1965 - Present: Consulting Geologist
I have initiated or caused to be drilled more than 40 prospects since
entering the consulting field on a full-time basis. These have resulted
in 11 wells being completed as oil wells in California, Colorado and Utall
and 4 wells producing gas in California. At the present time I
have several original wildcat prospects in'the process of leasing or
awaiting the drill.
I have done a number of major prospect evaluations and studies for clients
the most notable of which include:
Assisting in preparation of a detailed study and preparation of
suitable exhibits of western Ventura.County, California, on -shore
geology and relating it to the off -shore of the Santa Barbara
Channel in preparation for the 1968 Federal Lease Sale. In the.
early stages of drilling I was consulting for a group actively
drilling in the Channel. I subsequently appeared as an expert
witness in the Pauley et al vs USA trial in 1970.
During the early days of steam prospecting in California I surveyed
the heavy oil provinces of the State and was able to participate in
two steam prospects, one of which was successful.

Retention of Petroleum Geologist
in Connection With Possible Oil
Drilling From City Maintenance Yard
Pursuant to your direction, we have contacted several
geologists in order to find one who is available and able to
do the study you want within the time limit set by the circum-
stances. On this date we met with petroleum geologist Robert
Norris Hacker. Mr. Hacker's resume and fee schedule are
enclosed for your review.
Mr. Hacker stated that by the end of this month he
could complete a preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of
drilling from the City Yard and a preliminary assessment of the
potential drainage that might occur vis-a-vis the tidelands.
We believe Mr. Hacker is qualified to perform this project.
If the City Council decides to retain Mr. Hacker, I
recommend that it authorize an expenditure not to exceed
$3,000.00. Please advise either Mr. Drewry or me as soon as
possible as the time is now of the essence.
Ver truly yours,
Xy

HERMOSA BEACH BILTMORE HOTEL PROPOSAL (continued
Robert Carson, 1707 Pacific Coast Highway - Sensitive to
height limit and asked Council to obey the law re height limits.
Neil Gretsky, 1535 Bayview Drive - noted that urban sociologists
have examined the behavior that Hermosa is going through and
presented a bibliography of references on this subject. Stated
that EIR was adopted although there were some questions that
were not addressed and the public hearing was not continued.
He stressed that environmental problems are increased and
added that "good business climate" generally means that the
local area pays for the large developer to move in with no
recovery of costs of the growth. He felt that local groups
opposed to growth must mobilize and make the strongest showing
possible to reverse "the backroom deal". He quoted the Mayor
re the decision on Five Corners - zoning codes are meant to
maintain consistency throughout the City".
Bob Payne, 1637 The Strand - strongly in favor of the hotel
on the Biltmore site. Also strongly in favor of open space
in Hermosa Beach but not adjacent to the beach. What is needed
from the Biltmore site is some way to provide revenues -
property taxes, drilling for oil or users fee on the beach
and renters.
Bill Key, 55 - 14th Street, Manager of Grandview Hotel -
considers Biltmore site a blighted area, commended Council
for attempting to find a solution to the problem, feels
guests at Grandview Hotel will be denied a view of the ocean -
suggested alternative of building hotel over 14th Street to
give hotel guests view and access to the beach. He suggested
a bed tax to retire the revenue bonds and feels 8% bed tax
in Hermosa Beach be used to promote Hermosa Beach. His final
recommendation was to turn the Biltmore site into a public
green area.
Linda Drewry, 323 - 30th Street - submitted a.petition with
129 signatures in favor of the hotel. Also advised Council
that Pat and Myron Gazin were strongly in favor of the hotel.
Judge Vernon Foster, 15 - 15th Street - project exceeds height
limit and three -floor limitation, conflicts with Coastal Plan,
and violates the code in that it provides no self-contained
parking. Blue Ribbon Commission suggested 1507200 rooms versus
the 260 rooms proposed by the developer. Judge Foster quoted
from the Development Agreement regarding the .height limit and
parking. He questioned the legality of the proposal whereby
the Vehicle Parking District or the Parking Authority would
take care of the developer's parking requirements - the City
entering into a joint venture with a private developer for the
benefit of the private developer. Judge Foster quoted from
a Supreme Court decision on the case of the City and County of
San Francisco versus Ross (a project to build a parking structure
the purpose of the parking structure to benefit a private entity)
This decision stated that the building of this structure could
not be exercised to secure to private activities the means to

HERMOSA BEACH BILTMORE HOTEL PROPOSAL (continued)
When questioned by Council regarding Sections 208 and 1201
of 'the Zoning Code, Building Director Grove indicated that
Section 208 building height includes parapet walls or
railings and Section 1201 indicates that elevator and stairway
penthouses, mechanical equipment, parapet walls, etc., may
be located above the allowable height limit to screen the
allowable equipment from view. He stated the mansard roof
would not be considered a parapet wall.
City Manager Meyer stated that the reasons for this type of
construction was because it was the best representation
consistent with the overall design criteria which came from
the Biltmore Committee and the Planning Department. This
design would be sensitive to the up -hill view.- He stressed
the developer is not obligated to use the mansard roof but
is doing so even though it will be more costly.
City Attorney Post, upon questioning by Council, stated that
the more specific generally governs over the more general.
He concurred with Mr. Grove regarding the Zoning Ordinance
sections which are in conflict regarding allowable building
height. Ms. Sapetto advised Council that this was addressed
on page 4 of the proposed ordinance as follows: "That the
project will exceed the City's 45 foot vertical height restriction
for commercial development with elevator and stairway penthouses
and other equipment necessary to operate the building as
permitted in Section 1201 of the City Code. In order to screen
the equipment from view, a mansard roof not to exceed nine
(9) feet in height will be constructed around the parameter of
the roof."
City Manager Meyer than summarized the focus of this meeting
regarding the Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan Amendment.
The Public Hearing was opened. Coming forward were:
J9e_Lan_-qlQ 8,.-Greenwood/Langlois, stated_he would address the
Specific Plan and -_--some of the elements that are in.it_ He stresses
that. this is -.not the Development Agreement - approval tonight
does not mean approval of the project. This is only the path
to approval. He stressed that the allowable square footage is
240,000 - they will build 183,000 square feet. They are
complying with the 45 -foot height limit although not the three
story limit. They are willing to bear the additional cost of
the mansard roof to improve the appearance.
Parker Herriott, 224 - 24th Street, appellant, submitted,to
Council a supplement to his appeal letter. He questioned the
number of employees necessary, employee parking, and number of
necessary parking spaces to accommodate all patrons of the
hotel (1999). Mr. Herriott asked that the budget be presented
to the people in such a way so they can understand it, especially
if we are heading for bankrupcy.

carry on a private business whose primary objective and purpose
is private gain and not public need. Judge Parker advised
that under the Parking District law of 1949, the City may
issue bonds to construct a parking structure if it is legal.
He cited Section 33101 of the Streets and Highways Code
which authorizes the City to issue such bonds but it requires
that before any bond issue is authorized it must be submitted
to a vote of the electorate. Section 33101.5 permits a
similar procedure but applies to a specific parking project -
also authorizes issuance of bonds but only after an election
and approved by the electorate. Section 33101.6 authorizes
the issuance of bonds without a public vote (the section
Mr. Stradling, Bond Counsel, is citing. Judge Parker stated
he felt this. Development Agreement was one of the poorest
he has ever seen and questioned the validity of the project.
Mayor Brutsch continued the Public Hearing to June 12 on the
following:
a. Approval of a Specific Plan and Local Coastal
Plan amendment for the project site.
b. Conditional Use Permits for alcoholic beverages,
live entertainment, customer dancing and outside
dining.
C. Financial feasibility and design for parking
structures on Lot B and Community Center.

HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of the REGULAR MEETING of
HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL June 12, 1984
SPECIFIC PLAN FOR A HOTEL PROJECT IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA
Pursuant to the last review by the City Council of the Specific Plan, Mr. Langlois will
present to the Council a description of the height of the proposed hotel at each point
including the roof and elevator mechanical structure.
As indicated to you during the 5-22-84 public hearing, the mansard roof is not
considered an exception to the height limit. Staff however, recommends approval of
the design component since it is a substantial improvement to the structure with
respect to the uphill view.
For this meeting, staff recommends:
a. Approval of a Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan amendment for the
project site. (Attached)
b. Approval of Conditional Use Permits for alcoholic beverages, live enter-
tainment, customer dancing and outside dining.
C. Discussion of feasibility and design for parking structures on Lot B and
Community Center, if time permits.
d. Discussion and future direction to staff regarding the DDA, Option to
Lease and Ground Lease, if time permits.
With respect to the DDA, the City's Bond Counsel and development consultants
shall be available on the 6-26-84.meeting in order to clarify to the City Council
some of the issues raised during public testimony at the 5-22-84 meeting.

entering into a development agreement does not prevent a local agency from subsequently
denying or conditioning the project so long as such decisions are not based upon a zoning
change or plan amendment which occurred after entering into the agreement.
In addition, once an agreement has been entered into, a local agency must periodically
review the progress made by the developer to comply with the agreement at least every
twelve months. If a local agency finds that the developer is not complying with the terms
of the agreement, it may terminate or modify the agreement.
WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT?
Since a development agreement does not eliminate any other requirements it may
represent additional paperwork, legal requirements and staff time for both the city and
the developer. It will definitly increase the time required to make the initial approval of
the land development. Consequently, neither the city nor the developer is likely to find
the development agreement useful for routine or ordinary development applications.
Developers will most likely want to enter into a development agreement for large multi-
phase developments where the developer is going to be called upon to make substantial
investments at the beginning for public facilities and services and for planning and
engineering for the entire project. In these types of projects the developer may be
hesitant to proceed unless there is some assurance that these initial investments can be
recovered by being able to complete the project or at least to be insured that the basic
concept of the project will not be changed. A local agency may also benefit from the use
of an agreement in this type of situation where the alternative is likely to be smaller,
more fragmented developments. If 'a city has recently prepared a specific plan or a
community plan for an area where it wants all development to be. integrated and
coordinated, the development agreement can be used as an incentive to encourage
developers to invest in more comprehensive projects.
In addition to the large development, a development agreement may also be utilized for
smaller parcels where there are lots of public service problems or where a city is trying to
induce a particular property owner to dedicate or participate in the construction of new
public facilities even though that property owner is not yet ready to develop the property.
A local agency could also hold out a development agreement as an incentive to encourage
developers to provide.low income housing, extra open space or other provisions the city or
county desires. Often a city will be hesitant to approve a project because it has no. way of
guaranteeing that the developer will perform as he has indicated. For example, a city
may be willing to approve a desired zone change only if it knows that a particular project
will be constructed within a specified time period. Zoning normally can't provide this
assurance. However, a development agreement can be used to restrict uses of the
Property and to indicate a time schedule for construction.
Similarly a city may be reluctant to approve a development because of uncertainties in
the availability of specific public improvements and services. Through a development
agreement, the developer can be obligated to provide specific facilities to contribute to a
city project.
These are just illustrations. The
general rule is that the development agreement must be.

development represents potential costs to local government. The development agreement
might be the only device available to ensure that the developer will assume the
responsibility for such costs.
IN WHAT SITUATIONS SHOULD A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BE AVOIDED?
Many city officials feared that the development agreement concept would lead to
irresponsible decisions enabling land speculators to tie up large pieces of property for
several years or to preclude future city councils from making decisions based on the most
current policies. It has been fairly well agreed upon between city and developer groups
who have discussed the bill, that an agreement should not be entered into with a developer
who does not really want to provide for the present development of the parcel.
Agreements should only be entered into where the developer is prepared to proceed
promptly in accordance with a specific time schedule for seeking the required approvals
and commencing construction. Where a local agency enters into a development
agreement, it makes a strong commitment to live by the land use plans presently
applicable to a particular area. Accordingly, that land use planning process should be up-
to-date and complete for that area. As a general rule for larger projects, a specific plan
or community plan should be prepared for the area either before or at the time that the
development agreement is entered into. Where a specific plan has not been prepared, at
least a master development plan for the entire area together' with an environmental
impact report would ordinarily be done in conjunction with the development agreement.
Clearly, if there are problems in the area being studied, or standards are likely to be
changed or proposed land uses have not recently been the subject of comprehensive
planning, the city or county should not enter into an agreement for that area.
HOW DO AN AGENCY AND DEVELOPER GO ABOUT ENTERING INTO AN
AGREEMENT?
In order to enter into development agreements, a city or county will need to amend its
existing ordinances or codes to authorize the entering into of development agreements.
Additionally, the city or county will have to adopt, by resolution or ordinance, a set of
procedures for the consideration of the agreements and draft the forms that will represent
the agreement. The agreement itself will look- a lot like a planned unit development
approval which will also contain elements generally found in annexation agreements,
subdivision improvement agreements, or redevelopment agency owner participation
agreements.
The process is much the same as for any complex land use entitlement. It begins with
informal discussions between the applicant and city staff. Before presenting an
application to the planning commission and city council for adoption, the city attorney
will be required to review the scope of the agreement and to prepare the necessary
documents.
AT WHAT STAGE OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS WILL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS
BE ENTERED INTO?
Normally a developer will want to enter into an agreement at the first possible
opportunity when he has made a minimum prior commitment of resources to the project.
Since the development agreement does commit a city to certain future actions it is
subject to the Environmental Quality Act. An EIR may have to be prepared for the
Cproject if one has not already been done as part of a specific plan for the area.

the economic costs of development." When used properly in accordance with a
comprehensive planning process, active citizen participation, and a full undertanding by
:= all involved of the commitments that are being made there is no question that the
development agreement provides a new flexible tool that can provide for more orderly
development. However, it is equally clear that a development agreement is a very new
and complex tool that should only be used where both the local agency and the developer
can see the clear advantage to proceeding under the agreement.
City officials and developers see the development agreement mainly as a way to provide
financing of public facilities. However, another value from the new law may be in the
changes it encourages in the decision-making process.
In the past there has often been a reluctance on the part of builders to disclose all details
of their plans when seeking city approvals. Similarly cities have often reviewed
development proposals on a project -by -project basis without considering cumulative
impacts on their overall plans for neighborhoods or communities. Where a development
agreement is contemplated, both the local agency and the developer will need to disclose
their plans in a more comprehensive manner. While this will broaden the initial approval
process, subsequent applications for the development should be processed more . quickly
and with more certainty. Thus, even if few development agreements are entered into, the
land use decision-making process may be improved by the new law.

EXPLANATION OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT LAW
CHAPTER 934 OF 1979 STATUTES (AB 853 Calvo)
Background - Vested Rights Doctrine
Chapter 934 was introduced at the request of the California Building Industry
Association in an attempt to legislatively modify the vested rights doctrine in California
which is basically a judicial doctrine. A "vested right" in land development is the right of
the developer to construct a project without being affected by further public or govern-
mental interests. Under present California law, when a developer has obtained a permit
from a city or county for a project and has performed substantial work in good faith
reliance upon that permit, he has a "vested right" to complete the permitted work. There
are no statutes which define "vested rights;" rather, as indicated above, it is a judicial
doctrine.
The latest California Supreme Court case on the subject was Avco Community
Developers v. South Coast Regional Commission (Aug.. 25, 1976) 17 Cal. 3d 785, which
reaffirmed the traditional vested rights doctrine. Plaintiff Avco owned approximately
( 8,000 acres of land in Orange County, a small portion of which was located within a
coastal zone. Prior to February 1, 1973, the date on which the permit requirement of the
Coastal Zone Conservation Act which had been passed :by the voters became effective,
Avco had obtained zoning, tentative and final subdivision map approval and had in addition
completed or was in the process of constructing storm drains, improvements, utilities and
similar facilities for the subdivision tract. However, no building permits had been issued
for unit construction. The company had spent $2 million and incurred additional liabilities
of $750,000 for the development of the subdivision tract. Avco had argued that it should
be exempt from the coastal zoning permit requirement imposed by the act which was
basically a land use law in view of the fact that it had obtained all discretionary
entitlements and thereafter engaged in various utility improvements. The California
Supreme Court held that Avco could not be regarded as having perfected a vested right
because under the facts it had failed to meet the traditional vested rights common law
rule that a landowner has a vested right only if he has performed substantial work in good
faith reliance upon building permits. The Supreme Court stated:
"... By zoning the property or issuing approvals for work preliminary to con-
struction the government makes no representation to a landowner that he will
be exempt from the zoning laws in effect at the subsequent time he applied for
a building permit or that he may construct particular structures on the
property, and thus the government cannot be estopped to enforce the laws in
effect when the permit is issued."
As the result of this case there were several bills introduced during the 1977-78
legislative session to legislatively modify the Avco decision. None were passed.
In 1979 the League formed an advisory subcommittee on vested rights to monitor
legislation in this field. In 1979 Assemblyman Calvo introduced Assembly Bill 853 at the
request of the California Building Industry Association and after several amendments—
many of which were urged by the League—the bill was signed into law as Chapter 934. As
a result of the bill's passage the League, in conjunction with county representatives and in
cooperation with the Building industry, set up a technical committee to prepare this
manual.
i
Explanation of the Bill
Chapter 934 adds Government Code §65864 et seq. which sets forth a procedure for
authorization of cities and counties to enter into binding development agreements. After
setting forth the Legislative findings in Government Code §65864, the statute authorizes
cities to enter into development agreements with developers which specify the permitted
uses of the property, the density of use, the maximum height, size, -and location of
buildings, and such other terms and conditions as the city and the developer may agree
upon. For the specified duration of the agreement, the development set forth in the
agreement shall be governed by land use and other regulations which were in effect at the
time that the agreement was entered, notwithstanding subsequent changes in law, unless
at the time the agreement was entered into the agreement itself indicated that there
might be changes in such laws by which the city could not be bound.. Any city choosing to
enter into these agreements is then authorized to establish procedures and requirements
for the consideration of them, including requirements for periodic review at least every
twelve months at which time the applicant must demonstrate good faith compliance with
the terms of the agreement. Also the law provides for a public hearing to be held on an
application for a development agreement. The statute provides that a development
f agreement is a legislative act to be approved by ordinance and to be subject to
referendum. The agreement is also subject to modification or cancellation to the extent
necessary to comply with any changes in state or federal law.

CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION
Legal Authority
The legal authority for.tYie City's role in a certificate of parti-
cipation financing derives from the City's general power to lease
and acquire property. If properly structured, the certificates
will not constitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the
City for which the City would be obligated to levy or pledge any
form of taxation. Furthermore, because payments are subject to
annual payments towards the calculation of its debt limitation
within the meaning of Article XVI, Section 18 of the California
Constitution.
Financing Structure
The basic legal document for a certificate of participation finan-
cing is a lease purchase or installment sale agreement between the
City (as lessee or purchaser) and a lessor or seller (bank, leasing
company or other public entity, such as the City's Parking Authority.)
(The basic difference between the two forms of the agreement pertains
to when title to the facility passes to the City. Facts specific to
the financing will determine the more appropriate form of agreement.)
Under the agreement, the City would make annual lease or installment
payments, which payments are separated into principal and interest
components, to the lessor/seller in return to use of the facility.
The City could sublease the facility to another entity, private or
public (such as the City's Parking Authority) for actual operation
of the facility.
To generate sufficient funds to construct the facility, the lessor/
seller would assign its rights under the agreement to a trustee. The
trustee would in turn divide the City's lease ore installment payment
obligation, the interest portion of which is tax-exempt, into $5,000
"pieces", or certificates. The trustee would sell the certificates
to Merrill Lynch who would in turn sell the certificates to investors.
Each $5,000 certificate represents a proportionate ownership interest
in the City's obligation to make lease or installment payments -
hence the term certificates of participation.
The lease or installment sale agreement in a certificate of partici-
pation transaction need not be approved by an ordinance of the City
Council which would be subject to a referendum. Only a resolution
of the City Council is required.
There are no legal limits.on the interest rate on certificates of
participation or the amount of principal which may be issued; how-
ever, there are practical limitations, including the ability of the
City to meet the lease or installment payments. Certificates may
be sold through competitive bid or through negotiation with a sel-
ected managing underwriter.

1.9
Chapter 934 of the Statutes of 1979 added Article 2.5 to Chapter 4 of Division
1 of Title 7 of the Government Code commencing with §65864:
65864. The Legislature finds and declares that:
W The luck of certainty in the approval of development projects can result
in a waste of resour:.-es, escalate the cost of housing and other devel-
opment to the consumer, and discourage investment in and commitment
to comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient utili-
zation of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon approval
of the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in accordance
with existing policies, rules and regulations, and subject to conditions of
approval will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private
participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic costs
of development.
65865. Any city, county, or city and county, may enter into a development agreement
with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development
of such property as provided in this article. Every city, county, or city and county, may,
by resolution or ordinance, establish procedures and requirements for the consideration of
development agreements upon application by, or on behalf of, the property owner or other
person having a legal or equitable interest in the property:
65865.1. Procedures established pursuant to §65865 shall include provisions requiring
periodic review at least every 12 months, at which time the applicant, or successor in
interest thereto, shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of
the agreement. If, as a result of such periodic review, the local agency finds and
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that the applicant or successor in
interest thereto has not complied in good faith with terms or conditions of the agreement,
the local agency may terminate or modify the agreement.
65865.2. A development agreement shall specify the duration of the agreement, the
permitted uses of the property, the density or intensity of use, the maximum height and
size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public
purposes. The development agreement may include conditions, terms, restrictions, and
requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, provided that such conditions, terms
restrictions, and requirements for subsequent discretionary actions shall not prevent
development of the land for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set
forth in the agreement. The agreement may provide that construction shall be
commenced within a specified time and that the project or any phase thereof be
completed within a specified time.
65865.4. Unless amended or canceled pursuant to §65868, a development agreement
shall be enforceable by any party thereto notwithstanding any change in any applicable
general or specific plan, zoning, subdivision, or building regulation adopted by the city,
county, or city and county entering such agreement, which alters or amends the rules,
regulations or policies specified in §65866.
65866. Unless otherwise provided by the development agreement, rules, regulations,
and official policies governing permitted uses of the land, governing density, and govern-
ing design,- improvement, and construction standards and specifications applicable to
development of the property subject to a development agreement shall be those rules,
n
regulations, and official policies in force at the time of execution of the agreement. A
development agreement shall not prevent a city, county, or city and county, in subsequent
actions applicable to the property, from applying new rules, regulations, and policies
which do not conflict with those rules, regulations, and policies applicable to the property
as set forth herein, nor shall a development agreement prevent a city, county, or city and
county from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development project
application on the basis of such existing or new rules, regulations, and policies.
65867. A public hearing on an application for a development agreement shall be held
by the advisory agency and by the legislative body. Notice of intention to consider
adoption of a development agreement shall be given as provided in §§ 65854, 65854.5 and
65856 in addition to such other notice as may be required by law for other actions to be
considered concurrently with the development agreement.
65867.5 A development agreement is a legislative act which shall be approved by
ordinance and is subject to referendum. A development agreement shall not be approved
unless the legislative body finds that the provisions of the agreement are consistent with
the general plan and applicable specific plan.
65868. A development agreement may be amended, or canceled in whole or in part, by
mutual consent of the parties to the agreement or their successors in interest. Notice of
intention to amend or cancel any portion of the agreement shall be given in the manner
provided by §65867. An amendment to an agreement shall be subject to the provisions of
§65867.5.
65868.5. No later than 10 days after a city, county," or city and county enters into a
development agreement, the clerk of the legislative body shall record with the county
.recorder a copy of the agreement, which shall describe the land subject thereto. From
and after the time of such recordation, the agreement shall impart such notice thereof to
all persons as is afforded by the recording laws of_�this state. The burdens of the
agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits .of the agreement shall inure to, all
successors in interest to the parties to the agreement.
65869. A development agreement shall not be applicable to any development project
located in an area for which a local coastal program is required to be prepared and cer-
tified pursuant to the requirements of Division 20 (commencing with §30000) of the Public
Resources Code, unless: (1) the required local coastal program has been certified as
required by such provisions prior to the date on which the development agreement is
entered into, or (2) in the event that the required local coastal program has not been
certified, the California Coastal Commission approves such development agreement by
formal commission action.
65869.5 In the event that state or federal laws or regulations, enacted after a devel-
opment agreement has been entered into, prevent or preclude compliance with one or
more provisions of the development agreement, such provisions of the agreement shall be
modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal laws or
regulations.

5. When does a development agreement have to be recorded?
Section 65868.5 states that not later than ten days after the city or county enters into
the agreement it must be recorded. Since the agreement is entered into by ordinance
the question arises as to whether the agreement is entered into on the date that action
is taken by the governing body or thirty days thereafter, at which point in time the
ordinance becomes effective. The statute is silent on the point. However, the general
view and certainly the safer route is to assume that the agreement is entered into on
the date that the city council takes action, so that the agreement must be recorded
within ten days of that period. This means that a city will, of course, have to provide
a procedure for recording another notice in the event that a referendum petition
challenging the development agreement ordinance is filed. This would stay the effect
of the ordinance until the referendum has been voted on. A third notice would then
have to be recorded after the results of the referendum election.
6. Does a development agreement represent a contract zoning that forces a property
owner to construct a particular development on his property?
Contract zoning is often regarded as a device whereby a zone change to a particular
urban classification is granted upon the agreement of the developer to provide a
particular use. A.development agreement is entered into in addition to zoning so there
is clearly no direct impact. However, it is noted that a development agreement limits
the uses permitted on the property to those permitted in the agreement for the period
while the development agreement is in effect. After the agreement expires or is
terminated there would be no limitation upon the use_of the property unless it was then
rezoned through the normal processes.
7. If the property owner does not build as promised in the agreement, what remedy does
the city have other than just terminating the agreement?
While it is not required in the development agreement, a city may include in a
development agreement provisions that impose an obligation upon the property owner
to take out a bond to secure not only public improvements but also to guarantee
performance of any specified development. Thus, through these security devices the
city can compel performance by the developer. Often, of course, it is not necessary to
require a bond for the private development. The developer's obligation to provide
public streets is often enough assurance to be certain that the development will
proceed.

ment as provided for in Government Code Section 65865.1 and as
further provided in this Section. In connection with such
review, each party shall have a reasonable opportunity to assert
matters which it believes have not been undertaken in accordance
with the Agreement, to explain the bases for such assertion, and
to receive from the other party a justification of its position
on such matters. If on the basis of the parties' review of -any
terms of the • Agreement, a party concludes that any other party
has not complied in good faith with the terms of the Agreement,•
then such party not in default under this Agreement may issue a
written "Notice of Non -Compliance" specifying the -grounds there-
for and all facts demonstrating such non-compliance.. The party
receiving a -.-Notice of Non -Compliance shall have sixty (60) days
to respond in writing to said Notice. If the response to the
Notice of Non -Compliance has not been received in the offices of

shall have up to thirty (30) days to arrive at a mutually accept-
able resolution of the matter(s) occasioning the Notice. In the
event the parties are not able to arrive at a mutually acceptable
resolution of the matter(s), the party alleging the non-
compliance may elect to (i) pursue any available remedy at law or

the other party to the Agreement consents to said arbitration.
The above provisions are subject to meeting the Notice
and hearing requirements of Government Code Section 65868.
17. Amendment Or Cancellation Of Agreement. This Agreement
may be amended or cancelled in whole or in part only by mutual
consent of the parties and in the manner provided for in Govern-
ment Code Sections 65868, 65867 and 65867.5 except that failure

Paragraph 6 terminates this Agreement.
18. Events Of Default. Developer is in default under this
Agreement upon the happening of one or more of the following
events or cond it ions : -- - - - - - - -- '
(a) If a warranty, representation or statement made
or furnished by Developer to the City is -false or proves to have - been false in any material respect when it was made;
31 M:
(b) A finding and determination by the City made

-19-
20. Damages Upon Termination. In no event shall Developer
be entitled to any damages against City upon termination of this

Due to the nature of the development process, especial-
ly with regard to these Projects in terms of the specific uses
and structures, t the functional and economic inter -relationships
of the various components of the Projects, and the functional and
economic relationships between the Projects and City as a whole,
as a practical matter, it will not be possible to restore the
land to its undeveloped natural state and/or to alter the
Projects' relationship to the growth of City once any significant
portion of the Projects are constructed. Developer and City will
then be foreclosed from other choices that they might have had
available for the development and use of said land. Similarly
Developer and City, have invested time and effort of planning
prior to arriving at the kind, location and intensity of uses,
improvements and structures all as specified in this Agreement
and that it may not be possible to determine a sum of money which
would adequately compensate either party for this.
For: ---the above reasons, the parties agree -that damages
would not be an adequate remedy for any of the parties if' one orJV
more of the parties fail to carry out its obligations under this
Agreement, because the subject of this Agreement is not -merely a
parcel of real property but is a unique series of parcels of
which few if any other such sets of parcels with such a potential

TO: CAPTAIN V. STRASER
FROM: SGT. GUY WALTERS, OIC -TRAFFIC DIVISION
SUBJECT: SPECIAL TRAFFIC REPORT 1983
DATE: MAY 29, 1984
I requested a special SWITERS run for Hermosa Beach targeting
the major accident locations, Pacific Coast Hwy, and Aviation B1
in order to better analyze the city's accidnet trends. Below
is an overview of the CHP/SWITERS computations.
1983 Major Accident Intersections
1. PCH and Aviation 11 Total
2. PCH and 15th St 11 it
3. Hermosa Av and 10th St 8
4. Hermosa Av and 6th St 6 "
5. PCH and 21st St 6 "
6. Aviation and Aubry (Alpha Beta) 5 "
7. PCH and 10th St 5 "
8. PCH and Pier.'Av 5 "
In 1983 PCH totaled1137 reportable accidents to CHP/SWITERS,
Hermosa Av,61; and Aviation B1, 43. The leading PCF on
these roadways are auto right-of-way, speed, and DUI.
These major arterial roadways and collector streets should
be re-evaluated for traffic engineering deficiencies, which
if corrected, should help in further reducing the accident
profile for Hermosa Beach.
I suggest, the Traffic Division, City Traffic Engineering.and
CalTrans meet and confer to revue the aforementioned problem areas.
