On December 14, 2021, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 21- 1440, extending the Short-Term Vacation Rental Pilot Program an additional two years from the program’s adoption in 2019, and implemented revisions to clarify existing requirements. SECTION 2. On September 12, 2023, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 23-1468, extending the Short-Term Vacation Rental Pilot Program an additional two years extending the Ordinance effective date through October 24, 2025 SECTION 3. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on September 9, 2025 to consider a text amendment of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Title 17. SECTION 4. Under Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the ordinance qualifies for a “common sense exemption” from environmental review as CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the ordinance is not subject to CEQA. SECTION 5. The City Council finds the proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s General Plan. The ordinance will also comply with State requirements. The amendments will not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals, and the amendments are necessary to carry out the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, including the orderly planned use of land resources.
