Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Workshc;a
of the City Council April 20, 1983
Amending Zoning Code by Redefining/Defining
the Terms Hotel, Motel, Boarding House, Lodging
and Rooming House, and by Determining the
Appropriate Zones for These Uses
At the City Council meeting of March 8, 1983, the Council decided
that this item would progress with greater efficiency if the City
Council were to gather for a workshop session on this issue.
At the March 8, 1983 meeting, the City Council indicated concern
over the following items:
I. Will the new definition of Hotel adversely effect small
scale future development?
In FY81-82, the five existing Hotels/Motels (combined)
contributed $18,602.87 (attachment 1) in the form of
occupancy tax.
By contrast, one project (proposed and rather large) in
Manhattan Beach will yield in transient tax (at 7.5;e vs.
5% for us) $409,000 for the first year of operation. See
attachment II.
So, yes, the new definition of Hotel will tend to dis-
courage small scale projects.
II. Since Hotels often involve large assemblages of people,
is it appropriate for them to be required to secure a
conditional use permit?
The additional step and the uncertainty (for the developer•`
that it may create are both inconsistent with the current
effort to encourage larger scale developments.
III. It seems that kitchen facilities are being permitted in res.-
dential zones (boarding, lodging and rooming house) and,.i_;-
couraged in commercial zones (Hotel and Motel).
Actually the opposite is being proposed. As being define:
a boarding house, rooming/lodging house are permitted in
R-3 zones only (with a CUP). None of these are permitted
to have kitchens. A boarding house is defined as consist-
ing of a room with meals provided, whereas rooming, lodzin
house entail a room with no meals.
Hotels, as being defined, allow for one kitchen unit for
each ten units. Kitchen facilities in hotels are being
suggested so as to better accommodate the type of trav-
eler who prefers to remain in his suite.
Motels, as being defined, allow for one kitchen unit for
each five units. This more liberal ratio is being suggested
because motels have a propensity to attract automobile

travelers who often are the family on vacation type
with a preference for cooking facilities.
IV. Will the new definitions affect existing businesses; will
it make them legal non -conforming?
Of the five existing Hotel/Motels, four would take on
legal non -conforming status - the Sea Sprite (located
in a C-1 zone) is currently operating as a non -conform-
ing use.
But then so are all the "Bars" and skateboard shops along
the Strand and Pier Avenue; these uses are currently per-
mitted only in C-3 zones. Yet all these businesses thrive,
non -conforming status notwithstanding.
Furthermore, the new definitions are intended to dis-
courage the manifestation of uses which are deleterious
to the safety and economic well being of the community.
Attached is the proposed ordinance which has been corrected to
include provision (Section 5) for Hotels in C-2 zones.

Honorable Mayor and Members Regular Meeting_of
of the City Council March 8, 1983
AMENDING THE ZONING CODE BY REDEFINING/DEFINING
THE TERMS HOTEL, HOTEL, BOARDING HOUSE & LODGING HOUSE
& BY DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATE ZONES FOR THESE USES
Recommendation
That the City Council review the attached ordinance which amends
Articles 2 and 11.5 of the City Zoning Code by redefining/defining
Hotel, Motel, Boarding House and Rooming/Lodging House, and also
amends Articles 6, 10 and 11.5 affecting the zones in which these
uses are permitted, and that the City Council direct staff to prepare
an ordinance to implement the suggested alternatives if the Council
agrees with them. Finally, to return this item to the Planning Com-
mission to consider changes to Planning Commission recommendations.
Background
Presently, the Zoning Code defines both hotel and motel, but does
not distinguish between the two. Furthermore, the Zoning Code does
not define a boarding house, rooming house or lodging house yet it
does permit these uses in commercial zones. On December 6, 1982 the
BZA considered this project and determined it would not have a sig-
nificant effect on the environment; provided that a conditional use
permit be required for boarding houses and rooming/lodging houses in
R-3 zones. BZA issued a negative declaration for this project. On
January 4, 1983 the Planning Commission approved both definitions and
proposed zones as presented to you ftt your regular meeting of Febr.;w:--_:
8, 1983, and requested that staff further address some ambiguities
in its recommendation.
Analysis
The purpose here is to add clarity to the intent of the Zoning -Code
and to discourage the manifestation of uses which, are deleterious
to the safety and economic well-being of the community.
The rationale for distinguishing between a hotel and a motel is bass:
on the following four reasons:
1. Need to recognize the different parking demands for hotels and
motels; more taxi utilization for hotels and more automobile
use for motels. This has prompted our proposal to provide a
sliding scale parking requirement for hotels. That is, the
greater number of units, the fewer parking spaces required.
2: ifotels, as defined, will better accommodate all hour travelers
from LAX, since hotels are being required to maintain a twenty-
four hour lobby. _
3. City's proximity to L. A. airport yields a favorable environment
for larger scale projects which in turn yield greater revenues
to the City.
- Continued -

Proposed Zoning Code Amendments

4. A few larger projects will require fewer municipal services,
e.g., police and fire, than will numerous smaller scale projects
scattered throughout the commercial corridors.
Staff has provided definitions (Attachment I) along with a statement
of where such uses are most appropriate (Attachment II). A hotel is
being defined as providing six or more guest rooms on a temporary
basis and with most, if not all, activity occurring within the
structure. Furthermore a hotel shall have a minimum eight hundred
square foot registration lobby manned twenty-four hours a day, and
the management shall provide daily cleaning services. The Building
Department has informed us that studies have indicated that there
is an inverse relationship between the size cf a hotel and the amoun7
of parking it requires. Therefore, we propose that parking require-
ments for hotels become less restrictive as the number of rooms in
the hotel increases (see Section 5 of proposed ordinance). Kitchen
facilities are proposed according to the following ratio: one
kitchen unit for each ten units, inclusive of the managerial unit.
Hotels are being proposed for the C-2 and C-3 zones in which they are
currently permitted.
Motels are defined as one or more buildings containing guest rooms
for guest sleeping purposes on a temporary basis and with management
providing daily cleaning services. Kitchen facilities are being
proposed according to the following ratio: one kitchen unit for
each five units, inclusive of the managerial unit. The design of
motels, e.g., parking placement, is not being predetermined as to
permit such facilities a greater opportunity to conform to more than
one commercial zone. Consequently, motels are being proposed for
C-2 and C-3 zones. They are currently allowed in C-3 zones only.
Boarding houses are defined as not more than five guest rooms with
meals included. Rooming house and lodging house are also defined as
not having more than five guest rooms, but with no meals included.
These types of uses are viewed as more compatible with the more
densely populated and quicker paced R-3 zones. Such uses would
require a conditional use permit.
The impact that the new definitions of hotel and motel will have on
existing businesses (see Chart A) is that all are excluded from the
category of hotel since none mans a lobby 24 hours a day. Secondly,
they are exelud,.,ci, as presently operating, from the definition of
motel since none provides daily cleaning service to all units; .since
not all units are rented on a daily basis. Furthermore, existin
operating practices further remove these businesses from the defini-
tion of a motel by the amount of cooking facilities provided; the
exception here boin ifermosa Iiotel. Finally, the Sea Sprite located
at 1016 Strand as in a C-1 zone, and therefore is presently a non-
conforming use; irregardless of these new definitions.

Alternatives
1. One alternative would be to address the question, in the tonin-
code now, of what to do when an applicantappears with more
tnan 101. kitchens in a hotel or more -than 20% kitchens in a
motel.. While these may not be considered appropriate to Hermosa
Beacn, there is a doctrine in zoning law which holds that a city-
with comprehensive ening must make some provision for evert-
legitimate use. These uses could be defined as Residential
Hotel and Residential hotel and could be restricted to Commercial
Planned Developments only. This restriction would allow these
uses to be built only in conjunction with a commercial develop-
ment, and would limit the residential floor area to thirty -fire
percent of the total floor area. Further, it is suggested that
the parking requirement should be 1.5 to one (or even 1.75 to
one); because the utilization of parking would occur_ somewhere
between apartment house use and hotel/motel use. Iii case your
Honorable Body believes that the question of Residential Hotels
and Residential Motels should be addressed now, it is recommen:?e
that the Following conditions to the Zoning Code be given favor..`,_`
consideration:
New definition reading, "Residential Hotel: A residential hole=
shall conform to the definition of a hotel except that more
than ten percent (10) of the rooms contain cooking facil-
ities."
New definition reading, "Residential Motel: A residential mote_
shall conform to the definition of a motel except that more
than -twenty percent (20°a) of the rooms contain cooking
facili ties."
Add the following use to the C-2 and C-3 zones:
"Residential hotels and Residential Motels, when such use
is part of a Commercial Planned Development and conforms
to the standards described in Article 8.5 of the Zoning Code.
Add the following to Section 1152 on off-street parking:
"(D) Residential Hotels and Two spaces for manager's
Residential 'Motels apartment or office, plus
one and one-half space for
each rental unit.
2. A second alternative :vould be to wait for an applicant to apply:
for more kitchen:i than are allowed in the proposed definitions
of Ilotel and '.lore]_. The Planning Commission could then attempt
to apply the clau6e under -each zone which provides for other
uses by allowing, "Oilier similar enterprises or businesses
which, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, are not more
obnoxious, hazardous or detrimental to the welfare of the par-
ticular district than the enterprises or businesses herein in
this secc;o- entlmerazt.'d The conmi6z ion could al= o . Lr-E7,:::ir

to condition their finding that the above clause applies;
and such conditions could require a Commercial Planned Devel-
opment, different parking standards, etc. This has the
advantage of flexibility and the disadvantage of no written
standards for equal application.

inclusive of the managerial unit. This definition excludes
jails, hospitals, asylums, sanitariums, orphanages, prisons,

housed and detained under legal restraint.
B. ":Motel” shall mean one (1) or more buildings containing guest
rooms where each room is used for guest sleeping purposes, with
the requirement that daily services of linen change, towel
change, soap change and general cleanup being provided by the
management. Such facilities are designed, used or intended to
be used, rented or hired out for temporary or overnight accommo-

transients.
Kitchen facilities shall be permitted in motels according to
the following xaatio _ one _(1) kitchen unit for each five_

C. "Boarding House" means a building with not more than five (5)
guest rooms where lodging and meals are provided for compensatio::,
for not more than ten (10) persons, but shall not include rest
homes or convalescent homes or sanitariums, orphanages, detentio::
homes and buildings of similar uses.
D. "Rooming House/Lodging House: means the same as -boarding house,
but no meals shall be provided.
ATTACHMENT II
..What should be allowed in respective zones:
I. Hotel - is presently permitted in C-2 and C-3. These
zones appear to be most appropriate. A major character-
istic of a hotel is that it tends to operate in a central-
ized manner, with most of its activity, including parking
being internally realized. Consequently, hotels are viewed
as possessing an adequate capacity to compliment both C-2
and C-3 zones. A sliding scale parking requirement is pro-
posed for hotels (see Sec. 5 of proposed ordinance).
II. Uxt-e-1- - is presently permitted in C-3 zones only. A motel
is being defined as one or more buildings containing guest
rooms/dwelling units, with the requirement that management
provide daily cleaning services. `^ti•major distinguishing
characteristic between a hotel and—motel (as herein described)
is that the latter is not required to have an eight hundred
(800) square foot lobby manned twenty-four (24) hours a day.
The design of a motel is not being predetermined, e.g.,
location of parking so that proposed projects may have a
greater opportunity to conform with more than one type of
commercial environment. Consequently, motels are being
proposed for C-2 and C-3 zones.
III. Boarding house, Rooming house and Lodging house shall be per-
mitted in R-3 zones. Such uses will tend to be long term;
longer than two weeks and will blend in better with the
ambience more commonly associated with the high density resi-
dential corridors. That is, the typical tenant will have
characteristics more in common with the average resident in
R-3 zone than any other of the residential uses. Presently,
boarding houses and lodging houses, via a CLP, are permitted
in C-2 and C-3 zone.

The commercial uses in the Citi• are located primarily along
Pacific Coast High -.,.-ay., along Hermosa Avenue, and along Pier
Avenue. Although lod ing lacilities are permitted :=:irhin the
commercial zones, hotels, motels, boarding houses, and lodrinL-/
rooming houses account for a veru negligible portion. of the
commercial activit; in the City.
I I I . E_NV I RO'_.':` ='_r'Tr yr I'.:PACT :
This project ser, -es primarily to define/redefine the terMs o=
the aforementioned lodging facilities. The definition of a
Hotel is essentially the salve, ana the use will continue to be
permitted in the C-2 and C-3 zones as is currently alloj.ed.
Hotels are differentiated from Hotels in that they include
external uar'•_�i n.r outside or in close proximity to tree unit.
Motels tend to emphasize easy automobile access and therefore
are usual'_ located neap major streets and highwa;-s. Ta"in-
these factors into accoun z the City has determined that C-3
zones along Pacific Coast ._ighr•;a;; and Aviation would be :Host
suited for '.iotels. Under the .^_e-.. amendments, '.Iotei'S ;,11 c^n-

de%initions. The Cit; also rerco;nizes a need to
develop a definition of a Boarding House and a
Rooming/Lodging House, since such uses are currently
permitted in the City. The no action alternative
would not solve the current dilemma of what exactly
differentiates a Motel from a Hotel, and what con-
stitutes a Boarding House or a Lodging/Rooming :louse.
2. adopt the amended definitions, but continue to
classify Rooming/Lodging Houses and Boarding_.Hoases as
conditional uses in the C-3 zones.
The rationale given for permitting Rooming/Lodging
Houses and Boarding Houses in R-3 zones rather than
in the commercial area is that since these facilities
have a limited number of occupants (10 maximum), and
since th'ey serve primarily long term residents, they
are More a:in to multi -family- dwelling units than
l,tot•�ls o: Hotels. The R-3 zones, therefore, are fell
to be :-Toro conducive to these facilities than C-3
zones.
3. Amend t::e Code as stated, except designate Lodging;
Rooming :souses and Boarding Houses as condition
uses in the R zones.

VII. GRO',,TH I\Di CI\G I=MPACTS: ,
This proJect s::ould not have any direct impact on the
number of hotels or me Leis in the City, since these uses
will cont'i nue to be permitted in the same zones as t_".e:
are at present, and since there is no increase in the
overall size or density of these facilities in
posed amendment.
Under ti=e proposedproject boarding houses and rooming'
lodgin3 houses will not be required to obtain a condi-
tional use permit, so it may be easier for a facility of
this tyre to be established in the City. Hoy:ever, the
li-n1tation on the number of roc: -,s and occupants 1n these
facilities should ensure that no significant ad=verse
gro•. th relazed im-o acts will arise as a result of this
project.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Councilmember Jack Wood
DATE: March 7, 1983
I would like to take this opportunity to clarify my position
on the change in definition for hotels and motels and its impact
on the zoning code and, therefore, the city, with regards to
the transient tax, etc. I draw your attention to several pages
of the city zoning code which I interpret as follows: Section
800 B lists a legitimate use in C-2 as a hotel, item 14, page
4090.12. Continuing on to page 492 you will see that item 19
under the C-3 zone allows for motels and motor hotels and, also,
that all uses in C-2 are O.K. in C-3. If you go into the definition
of the zoning code, in the 450 page area, you will find that
there is no definition for either motel or hotel. The closest
thing around is guest house,.accessory living quarters, etc.,
which do not apply. However, if you go to the off-street parking
portion of the zoning code on page 520, you find that the definition
of a hotel or a motel is exactly the same.
As you must remember, the building official, Mr. Alton, is also
the zoning ,administrator. He will make the decision based on
the zoning ordinance only - no hearing or C.U.P.'s. Therefore,
under the code as written, either a hotel or a motel may be
constructed in either zone since the only definition of either
one in the code is the same. Once we change the definition
and separate those two, no matter what that definition says,
then hotels would be legal only in the C-2,.and hotels and motels
would be legal in the C-3.
I believe that we should not change this, but that is not the
issue here, The issue is that the environmental impact report
does not state that fact and, in fact, it states the contrary.
Consequently, there is a flaw in the environmental impact statement
which I believe is fatal, and this law can be challenged by
anyone as not meeting the requirements of the California Environ-
mental quality Act. Further, I believe that the Planning Commission
has not been told of the impact of their decision. Whether
or not this is what they want to accomplish is in question.
Therefore, encourage that the Preliminary Environmental Impact
Report b re m and that the Planning Commission deliberate
whether this is what they want to accomplish. If they then
make the recommendation that this is, indeed, what they want
done we can fight it out at Council level, but at least there
will beGno holes in either the argument or the P.E.I.R. This
is all that I have requested and I would appreciate your concurrence
on it. �
ank you.
