Executive Summary: The tri-annual report presents the findings of the administrative review process in which the activities of establishments that have a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and on-sale alcoholic beverage licenses are reviewed against an established set of criterion (Attachment 1). This report covers the period from November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024. Based on the data collected during this reporting period, no establishments have reached the threshold for referral to initiate a Planning Commission review of a CUP. Background: The tri-annual report is presented to the Planning Commission over the course of two meetings; the first meeting presents the report as an informational item, while the second meeting is conducted as a public hearing. This is the second of the two reports and provides the background information gathered for this review period. The informational item portion was presented to the Planning Commission on June 18, 2024. If an establishment violates any criterion within the set of standards identified in (Attachment 1) by exceeding the defined number of incidents in any six-month period, it will be referred to the Planning Commission for review of its CUP. The review may lead to a modification or revocation hearing based on the frequency or number of incidents or violations. The tri-annual report provides data related to each criterion, from City departments and outside agencies involved in the review, including Code Enforcement, Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD), LA County Fire Prevention, and California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). The data provided in the report does not change between the two meetings presenting the data as an informational item, and a public hearing. The two-step Planning Commission review was established in 2017. In March Page 15 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 2019, the City Council approved Planning Commission recommended changes to the process, which included that the review be conducted three times per year. This is the second report in 2024 and covers the six-month reporting period of November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024. In addition to current reporting data from each respective department and/or Agency (November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024), the previous reporting period data (July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023) is attached for review. Upon request, all relevant establishments can produce prepared food-to-alcohol ratio reports for the time referenced above. The next report will be presented in October 2024 and will present the information as an informational item for the reporting period of March 1, 2024, through August 31, 2024. Discussion: Development Standards HBPD As part of each tri-annual review, the Hermosa Beach Police Department is consulted for any calls for service or reports at establishments with a Conditional Use Permit for alcohol sales. During the current reporting period of November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024, the Hermosa Beach Police Department reported six (6) police reports and three (3) calls for service related to establishments with CUPS for alcohol sales. Of the six (6) reports and three (3) calls for service, none were characterized by HBPD as CUP violations. For additional details on the Police reporting data and protocols please refer to Attachments 2 and 3. There were no police reports warranting a CUP review during this review period. LA County Fire The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD) provides information about paramedic records which may be used to assist in the investigative analysis of responsible alcohol- serving practices at on-sale beverage serving establishments. LACFD reported a total of 50 calls for ambulance service that were attributed to alcohol during this review period. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rules prevent LACFD from identifying the reported incidents with a specific business address. Therefore, the data is not capable of providing any meaningful information on the alcohol-serving practices of specific establishments. However, this information continues to be requested following the Process and Standards for Review established for On-sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits. LACFD is also responsible for inspecting the various establishments in the City for fire prevention measures which are conducted after the Summer season. Although this data is site-specific, it relates to the facility inspected and does not correlate with alcohol service. Code Enforcement Code Enforcement routinely checks on-sale establishments for Conditional Use Permit compliance. Violations that are both a Municipal Code violation and a CUP violation are only counted once. Although businesses may have received warnings, the Department’s policy is to request compliance before issuing a citation fine. During this Page 16 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4 period, Code Enforcement did not issue any citations for violations of a Conditional Use Permit for on-sale alcohol. Process Criteria Statistics for On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permit Businesses (November 1st, 2023, to April 30th, 2024) Criteria Summary of All Businesses Violation of Operating Hours 0 Overcrowding Citation 0 Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security 0 Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises 0 Noise Violation 0 Outdoor Encroachment Permit Violation 0 Building Code Violation (incl. remodeling without permit) 0 Health Department Violation 0 Sign Ordinance Violation 0 NPDES Violation 0 Violation of any CUP Condition* 0 *Most but not all Code violations are also CUP violations but shall only count as one violation Conclusion: Based on the data collected during this reporting period from all relevant departments and agencies, no establishments have reached the threshold for referral to initiate a Planning Commission review of a CUP. General Plan Consistency: This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below: General Plan Consistency Public Safety Element Findings Goal 5. High quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors. The tri-annual report helps to deliver accountability with respect to alcohol serving establishments through periodic review to ensure that police resources are being best utilized and problematic serving establishments face consequences for repeated violations. It also gives an opportunity to the City to impose additional CUP conditions to Policy 5.1 Crime deterrence. Regularly evaluate the incidence of crime and identify and implement measures to deter crime. 5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community. 5.3 Use of technology. Provide and use smart surveillance technology and communication Page 17 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4 General Plan Consistency systems to improve crime prevention and inform the community regarding actions to take in case of emergency. 5.8 Nuisance abatement. Encourage Police Department review of uses that may be characterized historically by high levels of nuisance (noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of criminal activity) providing for conditions of control of use to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residences, schools, religious facilities, and similar “sensitive” uses. operators that incur repeated violations such as enhancing on- site security guards or increasing security camera footage to prevent future crimes and/or violations. Through these efforts the City seeks to minimize nuisances and improve upon the quality of life for local residents and visitors. Governance Element Findings Goal 2. The community is active and engaged in decision-making processes. The tri-annual review provides an opportunity for members of the public and the business community to engage decision makers and be a part of the process for CUP modifications or revocations. The community input driven process increases transparency and allows for important feedback to be received pertaining to operations and resource management. Policy 2.6 Responsive to community needs. Continue to be responsive to community inquiries, providing public information and recording feedback from community interactions. Public Notification: For the July 18, 2024 Planning Commission, a legal ad was published on June 27, 2024 in the Easy Reader, a newspaper of general circulation. As of the writing of the report, staff has received no public comments on this matter. Attachments: 1. Process and Standards 2. HBPD/ABC Report November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024 3. HBPD/ABC Report July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 Respectfully Submitted by: Jake Whitney, Assistant Planner Concur: Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager Approved: Carrie Tai, AICP, Community Development Director Page 18 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 4 Page 19 of 194 Process and Standards for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits 1) The CUP review process will consist of an administrative review process in which the on-sale establishments’ activities would be reviewed against an established set of criteria three times per year. 2) On-sale establishments with a CUP would be referred to the Planning Commission for a CUP review, and subsequently for a modification/revocation hearing if the Commission so decided upon its review, when they exceed established standards for each criteria to trigger such a review. 3) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potential modification/revocation hearing will be based on the frequency or number of incidents/violations within a stipulated timeframe. 4) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potentially for a subsequent modification/revocation hearing are as indicated in Table 1 below. 5) The administrative review of CUPs should be conducted three times per year with an evaluation of the on-sale establishments’ activities for the prior 6-month period. 6) The standards or criteria of the CUP review system will be made readily available to all on-sale establishments with CUPs and the public via the City website and/or other appropriate media (including direct mailings) to minimize any confusion over what standards will initiate a Planning Commission review and potential modification/revocation hearing. 7) Information from Police and Fire Department related to patterns of patronage of on-sale establishments (as indicated by investigations of intoxicated persons after incidents) and consistency with “Model House Policies” may be generally considered by the Planning Commission as factors in whether the business is being operated responsibly and engaging in the responsible service of alcohol. This information may be considered by the planning commission, as additional justification for holding a CUP review hearing after referral based on the criteria above has been determined and as evidence in any CUP modification/revocation hearing. Table 1. CUP Review Standards Standard Initiating P.C. Review(a) Criterion (Number of incidents in any 6 months) Violation of Operating Hours 2 ABC Violations (underage serving, violation of hours, etc.) 2 Overcrowding Citation 1 Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises 2 Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security 2 (Combination of any 3 or more) Violation of any CUP Condition (b) ABC Violations (underage service, violation of hours, etc.) Overcrowding Citation Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security Noise Citation Health Department Violation Outdoor Encroachment Permit Violation Building Code Violation (incl. remodeling without permit) Sign Ordinance Violation NPDES Violation (Administrative Determination) “Excessive Number” of Calls for Police Service “Excessive Number” of Public Complaints to City “Excessive Number” of Criminal Events on/adjacent to Premises NOTE: (a) – Recommended threshold number; Chief of Police may recommend CUP review to Commission at his/her discretion—at any time regardless of number of incidents in any period of time, to determine whether revocation/medication is appropriate under HBMC 17.70.010—as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. (b) Non-submittal of food to alcohol sales ratio reports in a timely manner when required by a CUP is considered a violation of the CUP condition. Reporting of the food to alcohol sales ratio required by a CUP, ABC license, or the Municipal Code may be required and considered during any modification/revocation action. Page 20 of 194 HBPD and ABC The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) conducts a thorough review of all police reports related to establishments which hold a CA Department of Alcoholic Beverage (ABC) on-sale alcohol license in conjunction with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Additionally, HBPD contacts owners and managers of establishments related to any concern(s) the Police Department may have, of issues that do not rise to CUP violation. The Police reports are initiated by a Call for Service (CFS) or if an officer observes an incident/violation/or contacts someone in an enforcement capacity. The CFS may result in a report, citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. It is important to note that a CFS or a report at a specific address does not mean an incident happened inside the address or is directly related to a specific business; the address may simply be associated as a landmark (identifying the location of an incident) wherein the location itself had nothing to do with the incident. Therefore, a CFS or report should not be assumed to be problematic or involved in the incident as the CFS or report may have nothing to do with the specific address or location other than used as a landmark/identifying the location of an incident which may have occurred outside of the location. HBPD will note the number of CFS, and Reports associated with an address, along with the category of the reports (e.g., Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.). An establishment will not have a CUP violation charged against them, unless, in HBPD’s review process it is determined that the establishment was complicit or clearly negligent in its actions which results in a violation of the CUP standards. As detailed in Attachment 2, HBPD’s statistics may have four (4) “Total” reports, of which only three (3) are “reviewed”, which would indicate that one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of report may or may not be charged against the establishment, based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence, that would then inform a determination made by the HBPD Chief of Police. During the reporting period of November 1, 2023, to April 30th, 2024, there were six (6) police reports and three (3) calls for service related to establishments with CUPS that merited review by HBPD staff. Of the six (6) police reports reviewed, two (2) were previously reviewed during the last CUP reporting period, as the tri-annual review contains overlapping time periods (previous period covered July 1, 2023, to December 31st, 2023). Additionally, there were three (3) calls for service that were reviewed, all three of which were reviewed during the last period. Of the six reports reviewed, none were deemed to count for CUP violations. The three calls for service were also not deemed to count as a violation. (Attachment 2) Page 21 of 194 As noted in Attachment 2, a joint ABC grant with Manhattan Beach Police Department has been issued for October 2023-September 2024. Training per the grant has been administered and there are deployments planned over the next several months. American Junkie had one report reviewed during the period. The incident that occurred involved a subject attempting to exit the location with a cup of alcohol in their waistband. An employee attempted to stop the subject and take the alcohol from them, and the subject struck the employee resulting in a cracked tooth. The suspect was arrested. The victim was not desirous of criminal prosecution. Barnacles had one report reviewed that was a battery between intoxicated customers and an employee. Three subjects attempted to enter the bar with open containers of alcohol and were asked to leave by an employee. The subjects refused and were escorted out and then assaulted the employee. All three subjects were uncooperative with officers, threatened to fight officers, and were under the influence. Two subjects were arrested for battery and the other for public intoxication. The city prosecutors declined to file charges due insufficient evidence and mutual combat claims. Patrick Molloy’s reviewed report involved a subject that fled the location without paying their bill. The subject was in an altercation with other subjects on the beach, and neither party was desirous of prosecution. The subject with the outstanding bill, was found to be intoxicated and was unable to care for their safety and was arrested for public intoxication. The final new report of the period involved a subject contacted regarding an assault at Tower 12. The victim was in the restroom and was attacked by a subject acting erratically. A thorough investigation concluded that a suspect could not be identified. Additionally, when HBPD conducts routine patrols of establishments with ABC licenses. If, during those patrols, an officer finds any suspicious activity in or around the premises, they log it as a security check (Attachment 2). The suspicious activity that would warrant it being logged as a security check would not necessarily be related to the CUP for the respective establishment. As part of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Drunk in Public arrests, HBPD officers, to the best of their abilities, ask arrestees to tell them where they have previously been drinking and more specifically the last place, they recall drinking. Not all contacts with arrestees provide an opportunity to ask these questions, however, the answers are presented in Attachment 2 for the current period and Attachment 3 for the previous period.

Additionally, HBPD contacts owners and managers of establishments related to any concern(s) the Police Department may have, of issues that do not rise to CUP violation. The Police reports are initiated by a Call for Service (CFS) or if an officer observes an incident/violation/or contacts someone in an enforcement capacity. The CFS may result in a report, citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. It is important to note that a CFS or a report at a specific address does not mean an incident happened inside the address or is directly related to a specific business; the address may simply be associated as a landmark (identifying the location of an incident) wherein the location itself had nothing to do with the incident. Therefore, a CFS or report should not be assumed to be problematic or involved in the incident as the CFS or report may have nothing to do with the specific address or location other than used as a landmark/identifying the location of an incident which may have occurred outside of the location. HBPD will note the number of CFS, and Reports associated with an address, along with the category of the reports (e.g., Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.). An establishment will not have a CUP violation charged against them, unless, in HBPD’s review process it is determined that the establishment was complicit or clearly negligent in its actions which results in a violation of the CUP standards. As detailed in Attachment 2, HBPD’s statistics may have four (4) “Total” reports, of which only three (3) are “reviewed”, which would indicate that one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of report may or may not be charged against the establishment, based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence, that would then inform a determination made by the HBPD Chief of Police. During the reporting period of July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, there were seven (7) police reports and seven (7) calls for service related to establishments with CUPs that merited review by HBPD staff. Of the seven (7) police reports reviewed, five were previously reviewed during the last CUP reporting period, as the tri-annual review contains overlapping time periods (previous period covered March 1, 2023, to August 30, 2023). Additionally, there were seven (7) calls for service that were reviewed, one of which was reviewed during the last period. Of the seven reports reviewed, one was deemed to count for CUP violations, and wase previously counted. The remaining reports were not considered CUP violations. The only Call for service to count towards a CUP was related to an ABC violation report in August and was therefore counted in the previous report. Page 27 of 194 As noted in Attachment 2, a joint ABC grant with Manhattan Beach Police Department has been issued for October 2023-September 2024. Training per the grant has been administered and there are deployments planned over the next several months. Baja Sharkeez had no new reports deemed as violations of the CUP. The previous case reviewed in the last CUP report is detailed as follows. In August, HBPD and ABC completed a joint operation at Baja Sharkeez. Subjects were identified as being underage and three individual police reports were generated in which three juveniles were cited for possession of a false identification. For this report, these are combined into one violation. During the current reporting period, Pedone’s did not have any new incidents to count toward CUP violations. Reviewed in the prior period, Pedone’s was cited in August by ABC for selling alcohol after permitted hours and allowing consumption of alcohol after permitted hours. During this operation, multiple people were observed with beverages believed to be alcoholic and only one bartender appeared to be on duty. Additionally, when HBPD conducts routine patrols of establishments with ABC licenses. If, during those patrols, an officer finds any suspicious activity in or around the premises, they log it as a security check (Attachment 2). The suspicious activity that would warrant it being logged as a security check would not necessarily be related to the CUP for the respective establishment. As part of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Drunk in Public arrests, HBPD officers, to the best of their abilities, ask arrestees to tell them where they have previously been drinking and more specifically the last place, they recall drinking.

CEQA: Determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. (Assistant Planner Jake Whitney) Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) Determine the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and 2) Approve a Precise Development Plan (PDP 24-03) for an attached duplex located at 138 1st St, subject to conditions. Executive Summary: The following is a request for approval of a Precise Development Plan that would permit the construction of an attached duplex at 138 1st Street. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the requested PDP with conditions of approval and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. Background: The project site is an existing interior lot with alley access located on the south side of 1st Street within the Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3). The site was previously developed with a duplex constructed around 1941. The City Council declared the property a public nuisance in May 2006 due to property abandonment and a state of disrepair. The building was ordered to be demolished pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 06-6467. Demolition was completed by 2008 and the site has been vacant except for ornamental landscaping and concrete flatwork since that time. The site is also located within the Coastal Zone and is required to obtain approval for a Coastal Development Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission for the redevelopment of the site as a duplex. Page 33 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 8 Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.58.020 titled “Projects requiring review” a Precise Development Plan approved by the City is also required for the redevelopment of the site due to its classification as a new two-unit project. Past Board, Commission and Council Actions Meeting Date Description May 23, 2006 A Resolution of the City Council ordering the abatement of nuisance violations and the demolition of the property Site Information Table: The following table describes the existing site characteristics. Site Information General Plan High-Density Residential (HD) Zoning Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Lot Size 2,850 square feet Existing Square Footage None Surrounding Zoning North: R-3 East: R-3 South: R-P West: R-3 Surrounding Uses North: Residential East: Residential South: Residential West: Residential Project Description The project consists of an attached two-unit duplex on an existing vacant lot. Unit A would be 2,072 square feet in living area and Unit B would be 2,116 square feet. Vehicular access to the site would be provided from 1st Street which will require a new curb cut and lead to a new two-car garage with two guest spaces in the front of the garage, as well as from an alley, named 1st Court, which will lead to another two-car garage and a single guest space adjacent to the garage. The duplex also contains multiple balcony spaces as well as roof decks for recreational use for the new residents. The architectural style for the new units is a contemporary modern feel consistent with other similar properties in the vicinity. The finishes for the property include fiber cement cladding, stucco, and wood siding. On the base floor of each unit would be a guest room and bathroom, followed by three more bedrooms and two bathrooms each on the second floor. Floor three would Page 34 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 8 contain the kitchen, dining room, and great room for each unit, and lastly, the roof level of each unit would contain accessible deck space for the enjoyment of the residents. Landscaping for the site would consist of nine trailing Lantana shrubs and three fruitless Olive trees adding up to 98 square feet of landscaped space. Discussion: Development Standards The following summarizes the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Development Standards. In addition to meeting the development standards identified above, the applicant would also be required to replace the existing yellow metered public parking space that would be eliminated on 1st Street to make way for the new curb cut at that location. The new metered parking space is tentatively proposed to be located on Herondo Avenue. By requiring the replacement of the metered parking space, the City would maintain compliance with its obligation to provide 1,100 metered parking spaces within two blocks Criteria Required Provided LOT STANDARDS Minimum Lot Area 1,320 square feet per unit 1,425 square feet per unit Lot Coverage Maximum 65% 64.856% HEIGHT: 30 ft max 30 ft YARDS: Front 3 ft 11 ft Side 3 ft 3 ft Rear (abutting alley) 3 ft at ground floor 3 ft 1 ft at second floor PARKING AND DRIVEWAYS: Total Parking Spaces Minimum 5 7 Garage Spaces Minimum 4 4 Guest Space Minimum 1 3 Driveway Slope Up to 20% 11% maximum OPEN SPACE: Private Open Space: 600 square feet 600 square feet DESIGN ELEMENTS: Solid Waste Area (Per Unit) (3) 2.5 ft X 2.5 ft bins (3) 2.5 ft X 2.5 ft bins Page 35 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 8 of the beach as required by the City’s 2004 Coastal Development Permit No 5-84-236-A2 for a preferential parking program amendment. (Attachment 3). The space will also be located within the boundaries of the existing preferential parking program area as depicted in the City’s previous Coastal Development Permit No 5-84-236. All costs associated with installing a new meter and striping would be paid for by the applicant and is included as a condition of approval. Findings: All projects requiring a Precise Development Plan must make findings pursuant to Section 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code: 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects: The project is a duplex located within the R-3 Zone. Residential development uses are located directly to the north, south, east, and west of the subject site. The proposed two-unit duplex development would blend in cohesively with the existing streetscape of multi-family residential uses. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need: Based on the proposed development, the municipal code requires four (4) parking spaces (two per unit) and one guest space for every two units (1 space). The project proposes four (4) enclosed parking spaces and three (3) guest parking spaces to fulfill the requirements. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility: The underlying zoning for the subject site is Multiple Family Residential (R-3) which permits two-unit projects. Properties to the north, east, and west are also zoned R- 3. The surrounding residential area is comprised of multi-story, multi-family residences. The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area as it would be a multi-story residential development. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area: The proposed use of the lot as a duplex is consistent with the development character of the neighborhood and will not have an outsized effect on the traffic volume and the capacity of streets serving the area. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The proposed architecture would be compatible with the surrounding area as there are existing developments that incorporate a contemporary architectural theme and there is a diverse array of architectural styles in the surrounding vicinity. The proposed project’s building configuration is consistent with the neighborhood’s development pattern and the overall character of the neighborhood. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools: The proposed duplex is designed with garages and buildings that front both 1st Street and 1st Court and in a configuration similar to the abutting properties to the east and west. There are currently no places of worship, day care services, schools, or other sensitive uses that would face significant Page 36 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 8 impacts as a result of this development. The surrounding vicinity is residential development on all sides. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: Most of the noise, odor, and vibration impacts would be temporary and limited to the construction of the project. Therefore, adverse impacts are not expected due to the transitory nature of construction impacts. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: A component of this project includes a new curb cut on 1st Street to make way for one of the new garages which will displace one publicly accessible yellow metered parking stall in the Coastal Zone. However, this parking stall will be offset, at the developers’ expense, by the addition of a new parking stall tentatively located on Herondo Avenue which will ensure no net loss of publicly accessible parking stalls. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: The project does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed residential use and building design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the HBMC and General Plan. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to further ensure the project does not create adverse environmental impacts. 10. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the City as a whole. As noted in the above criteria, approval of the proposed project will not result in impacts to the surrounding uses and/or the City as a whole. The proposed development is consistent with the surrounding buildings. Furthermore, all parking impacts will be mitigated due to the on-site spaces provided and the relocation of a publicly accessible metered parking space in the Coastal Zone. General Plan Consistency: This report and associated recommendations have been found to be consistent with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below: General Plan Consistency Goals & Policies Findings Land Use Element Goal 1: Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents. Policy 1.6 Scale and context. Consider the compatibility of new development The scale of the development is in line with that of the neighborhood and similar development surrounds the subject property. The development fits in seamlessly with the urban context and does not contain abrupt changes in scale and massing. Page 37 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 8 General Plan Consistency within its urban context to avoid abrupt changes in scale and massing. Goal 2: Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and abilities and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles. Policy 2.3 Balanced neighborhoods. Promote a diverse range of housing unit types and sizes, within allowed density. Goal 5. Quality and authenticity in architecture and site design in all construction and renovation of buildings. Policy 5.6 Eclectic and diverse architecture. Seek to maintain and enhance neighborhood character through eclectic and diverse architectural styles. Goal 6. A pedestrian-focused urban form that creates visual interest and a comfortable outdoor environment. Policy 6.7 Pedestrian oriented design. Eliminate urban form conditions that reduce walkability by discouraging surface parking and parking structures along walkways, long blank walls along walkways, and garage dominated building facades. The proposed project is a duplex and will contribute to a diverse neighborhood with various housing types and unit sizes for residents of different income levels. The proposed project will contribute to the diversity of architectural styles through site design and use of materials such as fiber cement cladding, stucco, and wood siding. The proposed project will not detract from the pedestrian-oriented condition of the neighborhood by adding any large blank walls along walkways or create large surface parking lots. Parks & Open Space Element Goal 5. Scenic vistas, viewpoints, and resources are maintained or enhanced. Policy 5.7 Light pollution. Preserve skyward nighttime views and lessen glare by minimizing lighting levels along the shoreline. Nighttime views will be protected by requiring all lighting to be downcast which will minimize the presence of light pollution. Page 38 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 8 General Plan Consistency Mobility Element Goal 4. A parking system that meets the needs and demand of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner Policy 4.2 Encourage coastal access. Ensure parking facilities and costs of such facilities are not a barrier to beach access by the public Coastal access will be protected by ensuring that there is no net loss of publicly accessible parking spaces for beach visitors by requiring that the applicant pay for the costs of the displaced yellow metered space on 1st Street to an alternate City approved location. Sustainability Element Goal 7. Essential topsoil and erosion is minimized Policy 7.1 Permeable pavement. Require the use of permeable pavement in parking lots, sidewalks, plazas, and other low-intensity paved areas. The applicant will be required to install permeable pavers in the driveways and other locations on the subject property to comply with low impact development standards and reduce urban runoff. The site would contribute to increasing the number of market-rate residential units in the City. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation for the 2021-2029 period is 558 units including 93 above moderate-income units. The project would add two market-rate units that are not on the City’s Site Inventory list of the Housing Element. The units would contribute towards realizing the housing allocation. In addition to the project’s consistency with the Goals and Policies above, the project would be required to comply with applicable mitigation measures of the Program EIR certified in conjunction with the approval of PLAN Hermosa. These conditions of approval include requiring the applicant to comply with the rules and regulations of the South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements for ground-disturbing activities for protecting cultural resources and ensuring that activities are within acceptable vibration standards. Environmental Determination: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project qualifies for a Class 3 categorical exemption, for New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, as defined in section 15303 (b) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it consists of a limited number (two) of new, small structures. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Page 39 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 8 categorical exemption(s) apply, nor would the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. Public Notification: For the July 16, 2024, Planning Commission hearing, a total of 333 public hearing notices were mailed to the applicant, and occupants and property owners of properties within a 300-foot radius on June 3, 2024. A legal ad was published on July 4, 2024, in the Easy Reader, a newspaper of general circulation. Additionally, the applicant received a notice poster to post on-site and provided proof of posting a minimum of ten days in advance of the public hearing, in accordance with HBMC 17.68.050. Public notification materials are included as Attachment 5. As of the writing of the report, staff has received no public comments. Attachments: 1. Draft Resolution #24-14 2.

The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area as it would be a multi-story residential development. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area: The proposed use of the lot as a duplex is consistent with the development character of the neighborhood and will not have an outsized effect on the traffic volume and the capacity of streets serving the area. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The proposed architecture would be compatible with the surrounding area as there are existing developments that incorporate a contemporary architectural theme and there is a diverse array of architectural styles in the surrounding vicinity. The proposed project’s building configuration is consistent with the neighborhood’s development pattern and the overall character of the neighborhood. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools: The proposed duplex is designed with garages and buildings that front both 1st Street and 1st Court and in a configuration similar to the abutting properties to the east and west. There are currently no places of worship, day care services, schools, or other sensitive uses that would face significant impacts as a result of this development. The surrounding vicinity is residential development on all sides. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed Page 42 of 194 Page 3 of 11 PC Reso 24-14 use: Most of the noise, odor, and vibration impacts would be temporary and limited to the construction of the project. Therefore, adverse impacts are not expected due to the transitory nature of construction impacts. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: A component of this project includes a new curb cut on 1st Street to make way for one of the new garages which will displace one publicly accessible yellow metered parking stall in the Coastal Zone. However, this parking stall will be offset, at the developers’ expense, by the addition of a new parking stall tentatively located on Herondo Avenue which will ensure no net loss of publicly accessible parking stalls. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: The project does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed residential use and building design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the HBMC and General Plan. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to further ensure the project does not create adverse environmental impacts. 10. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the City as a whole. As noted in the above criteria, approval of the proposed project will not result in impacts to the surrounding uses and/or the City as a whole. The proposed development is consistent with the surrounding buildings. Furthermore, all parking impacts will be mitigated due to the on-site spaces provided and the relocation of a publicly accessible metered parking space in the Coastal Zone. SECTION 5.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT ORIGINALLY APPROVED (7/11/84): Implementation of preferential parking and remote beach park and ride system.1 DESCRIPTION OF PREVIOUS AMENDMENT 5-84-236-A1, (4/7/98): Amend preferential parking program to change the permit-restricted parking area hours from present hours (8 am to 5 pm) to extended hours (10 am to 10 pm); eliminate parking prohibition without a permit from 2 am to 6 am; enforce parking restrictions for "yellow" (12-24 hour) and "silver" (2 hour) meters from 10 am to 12 midnight; and install two-hour maximum parking meters along upper Pier Avenue which is currently subject to two hour parking limits. PROPOSED AMENDMENT 5-84-236-A2: Expand preferential parkin~ district to restrict 13 spaces on west side of Cypress Avenue between Pier Avenue and 11 h Street to residents and to add 15 spaces along Valley Drive near Second Street to 12-hour public parking inventory; also, the request includes updating the parking district management (See Pages 5, 6 and 16). SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission determine that the proposed development, with the proposed amendment, subject to the conditions below, is consistent with the public access requirements of the Coastal Act. The special conditions are designed to assure that most spaces previously proposed for free long-term remote public parking continue to be available to the public, but allow the City to reduce the number of free remote spaces on weekdays other than summer holidays. Further, the 1,100 long-term metered beach parking spaces along Hermosa Avenue (and portions of Herondo Avenue) must remain long-term (6 hour minimum) in order to continue to provide beach access parking. Finally 1 These are the descriptions as they appeared on the front page of the staff report and on the coastal development permits. For a more detailed description, see Exhibits and pages 7-11 of this staff report. Page 59 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 2 the staff recommends that the City update its signage system, advising the public both of the locations of the long-term spaces and of the availability of day passes. SUBSTANTIVE FILE DOCUMENTS: 1. 5-86-834 (City of Hermosa Beach; Strand bicycle rest area); 2. 5-92-177 (City of Hermosa Beach, Removal of Parking from Greenbelt); 3. 5-97-011 (City of Hermosa Beach, downtown parking structure); 4. 5-82-251 (City of Hermosa Beach Limited Term Preferential Parking.) LOCAL APPROVALS RECEIVED: Hermosa Beach City Council resolution to approved the incorporation of Cypress Avenue in the Preferential Parking District, June 25, 2002. PROCEDURAL NOTE: The Commission's regulations provide for referral of permit amendment requests to the Commission if: (1) The Executive Director determines that the proposed amendment is a material change, (2) Objection is made to the Executive Director's determination of immateriality, (3) Or, the proposed amendment affects conditions required in order to protect a coastal resource or coastal access. In this proposed amendment to a conditionally approved permit, the proposed revision is a material change that affects conditions required for the purposes of protecting public coastal access. Therefore, the Executive Director has determined that the change must be reported to the Commission and noticed to the public. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: MOTION: I move that the Commission approve amended Coastal Development Permit No. 5-84-236-A2 pursuant to the staff recommendation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL: 1. Staff recommends a YES vote. Passage of this motion will result in approval of the permit as conditioned and adoption of the following resolution and findings. The motion passes only by affirmative vote of a majority of the Commissioners present. Page 60 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 3 I. RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A PERMIT AMENDMENT: The Commission hereby approves the coastal development permit amendment on the ground that the development as amended and subject to conditions, will be in conformity with the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and will not prejudice the ability of the local government having jurisdiction over the area to prepare a Local Coastal Program conforming to the provisions of Chapter 3. Approval of the permit amendment complies with the California Environmental Quality Act because either 1) feasible mitigation measures and/or alternatives have been incorporated to substantially lessen any significant adverse effects of the amended development on the environment, or 2) there are no feasible mitigation measures or alternatives that would substantially lessen any significant adverse impacts of the amended development on the environment. II. STANDARD CONDITIONS 1. Notice of Receipt and Acknowledgment. The permit is not valid and development shall not commence until a copy of the permit, signed by the permittee or authorized agent, acknowledging receipt of the permit and acceptance of the terms and conditions, is returned to the Commission office. 2. Expiration. If development has not commenced, the permit will expire two years from the date this permit is reported to the Commission. Development shall be pursued in a diligent manner and completed in a reasonable period of time. -Application for extension of the permit must be made prior to the expiration date. 3. Interpretation. Any questions of intent or interpretation of any condition will be resolved by the Executive Director or the Commission. 4. Assignment. The permit may be assigned to any qualified person, provided assignee files with the Commission an affidavit accepting all terms and conditions of the permit. 5. Terms and Conditions Run with the Land. These terms and conditions shall be perpetual, and it is the intention of the Commission and the permittee to bind all future owners and possessors of the subject property to the terms and conditions. Ill. SPECIAL CONDITIONS. 1. PROVISION OF LONG TERM PUBLIC PARKING. A.

CHANGES IN PREFERENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM. The Commission has approved the preferential program as described in its permit 5-84-236 as amended. Any change, including, but not limited to, changes in the location of the remote parking spaces, the duration of the free parking, the amounts of fees for on-street parking or day passes, or any other feature of the program shall be reported to the Executive Director to determine whether an amendment to the permit is necessary. 3. UPDATED SIGNAGE/PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAM PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE AMENDED PERMIT, the applicant shall provide for the review and approval of the Executive Director an updated signage/public information program that explains the location of the free remote parking lots, the absence of time limits on holidays and summer weekends on the City lots, and the availability of the day-pass program. The program shall include a schedule of installation of the signs; such that new signs shall be installed prior to the 2005 beach season. Ill. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS: The Commission hereby finds and declares: A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION In this present amendment, the City proposes to add 13 public on-street parking spaces that are located on one side of a small residential street, Cypress Avenue, to the restricted portion of an existing preferential parking program. This change would limit parking without a "resident" pass to one hour from 1 0 am to 1 Opm along this side of the street. As part of the proposal, the City will provide 15 new long-term public spaces along Valley Drive at the southern end of the City. These spaces would provide beach and recreation parking that is not available in the southern end of the City and would increase public Page 63 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 6 access. The underlying preferential parking program was approved in 1984 and was intended to discourage parking in the downtown commercial lot by increasing its price, and to provide long-term parking in inland locations. The program also restricts non-resident parking on residential streets inland of the seaward-most arterial, Hermosa Avenue and west of Lorna and Morningside Drives to one hour except for residents. As a result of this amendment, Cypress Avenue would be added to the restricted area of the City. In addition to imposing restrictions ·on visitor parking, the program, as approved, provides no less than 400 long-term free six-hour parking spaces a quarter of a mile inland of the beach, 200 short-term commercial spaces (marked by silver two-hour and three-hour meters) in the downtown Pier Avenue commercial district, and 1,100 metered twelve and twenty four-hour spaces along the first street inland of the beach, Hermosa Avenue (yellow meterst Residents with passes can park at yellow meters for an unlimited time. The street being added to the restricted area, Cypress Avenue, is a residential street located just inland of City Hall, six blocks from the beach, extending between Pier Avenue, a commercial street, and 11th Street, a residential street. For detailed information submitted by the City, see Exhibits 7, Sa, 8 and pages 2, 3, 4, and 9. In addition, the amendment would reflect operational changes to the system that have occurred since the Commission initially approved the program. The principal clarification that the City seeks in this amendment is that due to the loss of 165 public parking spaces in a commercial parking structure just outside the coastal zone, (Plaza Hermosa), the City can provide close to 400 free remote spaces only on weekends. This is because some of the weekend long-term spaces do double duty serving City Hall and the one-day Farmer's Market during the week. In addition, the location of some long-term parking has changed since the City last contacted the staff. Some spaces have been designated for City vehicle or police use, or restricted to two hours, and are no longer available for long-term use by the general public. Restriping to accommodate handicapped spaces or traffic needs has also reduced the number of spaces available. The City has opted to sponsor a Farmer's Market at the Clark Building on Fridays. This event has resulted in a reduction of remote spaces available to serve beach goers on that day, although some City employee spaces have been used to fill the gap. While the long-term spaces were clearly labeled as providing 12 hours of free parking, there were few signs at community entrances directing visitors to the long-term parking. Permit History/Area Description Hermosa Beach is a developed city in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. The Hermosa Beach Coastal Zone extends approximately eight blocks inland, marked by Ardmore Avenue, a street that is inland of an abandoned light rail right-of-way. The beach is public. Inland of the beach, there is a paved public walkway known as "The Strand." Inland of The Strand, there is a row of houses, backed by an alley (Beach Drive), and then 4 Earlier staff reports on this permit and the first amendment, 5-84-236 and 5-84-236A describe these spaces as twenty-four or twelve-hour spaces. City staff has now confirmed that 1,213 of these long-term meters are available on Hermosa Avenue and Herondo Street. They continue to allow 12-24 hour parking. Residents can park at these meters without paying for an unlimited time. They were initially approved at 12 hours. -. Page 64 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 7 developed 3,000 sq. ft. lots, that extend inland one block deep. Inland of this, a four-lane collector street, Hermosa Avenue, provides public parking. Most of the coastal zone is developed with duplexes and triplexes on small lots that are served by both walk streets and vehicular streets that run at right angles to the beach. Other collector streets run parallel to Hermosa Avenue, extending from Manhattan Beach on the north to Redondo Beach on the south. These streets each support two lanes of parking. Valley Drive parallels an abandoned railroad right-of-way, "the Greenbelt", on its seaward side. Ardmore Drive: which is the coastal zone boundary, parallels the right-of-way on its inland side. Outside the coastal zone, and one long block inland of Ardmore, highway-oriented commercial properties front Pacific Coast Highway. In the middle of town, Pier Avenue extends from Pacific Coast Highway to the beach, ending at the City Pier. In 1984, the Commission approved a preferential parking system for the City of Hermosa Beach (5-84-236). The initial program was a continuation of a two-year "trial preferential parking program" in which the Commission allowed the City to create areas where public parking was discouraged and areas where, because of the absence of fees and generous time limits, visitor parking was encouraged (5-82-251 ). The following is a summary of the terms of each iteration of the preferential parking permit and related permits: 1982: Trial preferential parking program 5-82-251. Detailed Project description: "Project includes two major features: a disincentive system to make it hard to park in the 43 acre area near the beach and free remote parking system to replace both the spaces in the residential areas (from one to four blocks from the beach) where visitors would be limited to one-hour parking and areas near the beach where the City plans to place 1300 meters. . .. "The metered areas include the downtown commercial district (200 silver meters restricted to two hours without a permit) and Hermosa Avenue, the first collector inland of the beach, where the City planned to place 1,100 yellow meters. Yellow meters provided 12 hours parking, but nearby residents and employees of beach front businesses could purchase permits to park at those meters. The area from one to four blocks from the beach would be limited to one-hour parking, without a resident permit. Annual permits cost 15 dollars, are available to residents and certified employees. They allow a car to be parked in any zone with no time limit. Visitors could purchase day use permits to allow them to park anywhere." Exhibits indicated that the project included: 1. 200 remote free spaces --use the free parking lots located at City Hall (50 spaces) and on the Railroad Right of Way (150 spaces) and take the shuttle to the beach. Page 65 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 8 2. Purchase of a day permit for $2.00 to allow a visitor to park at any meter or in any zone for no additional fee. 3. Pay at one of the 1,100 yellow meters at $.50 an hour up to 12 hours (yellow meters were located along Hermosa Avenue, where either day permits or residential permits could be used.) 4. Use the commercial lots at $0.25 per hour [City had two down town lots totaling about 270 spaces about half a block from the beach] 5. Pay at one of the 200 silver meters; two hour limit $.0.50 per hour 6. Park where there are no restrictions east of Lorna Drive, approximately five blocks from the beach (in residential areas). (Exhibit 16) Special conditions: 1. Permit would expire in two years from date of approval. 2. City shall submit a sign and public information plan. 3. Demonstrate that the shuttle would be available when the restrictions are enforced. 4. Within thirty days of Commission action, the City shall designate the location of a reservoir of one hundred (100) additional spaces which shall be made available to the satellite parking program by the middle of June 1982. Furthermore, by March 1, 1983, the City shall identify an additional one hundred (100) such spaces which shall be available for the parking program by mid June (June 19) of 1983. (1984) 5-84-236. "Implementation of preferential parking and remote beach park and ride system." Findings state: The proposed development is to continue the [1982] program with the same mitigation measures regarding fees, posting of signs, enforcement and remote parking facilities to accommodate an additional 1 00 cars over and above the previous permit that provided 300 spaces .... City would raise the day permits to $5.00, charge a 25 cent fee for the shuttle, the proposed parking program will affect 1300 metered on- street parking spaces and will provide 400 remote parking spaces at seven locations. The meters included 1,100 yellow meters along Hermosa Avenue and 200 silver meters in the downtown. (See Exhibits 5 and 17.) A letter from the City described the program (Gregory Meyer March 29, 1984 ): 1. Purchase a day permit 2. Pay the yellow meter at$ .50/hr (12 hour maximum) 3. Use the commercial lots at $ .25 /hr. 4. Park where there are no restrictions east of Lorna Drive (approximately five blocks from the beach). 5. Use the free parking lots located at City Hall and on the Railroad Right Of Way and take the shuttle to the beach. Page 66 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 9 The staff report refers to Exhibit B (see the current Exhibit 5) for a description of the locations and numbers of remote parking spaces. Based on the exhibit, in 1984, the remote spaces were the following: Location Number of Spaces Rotary Club and Valley Park, 2515 Valley Drive 26 Valley Middle School 125 Old recreation building 1035 Valley Drive 22 City Hall front lot 4 7 City Hall back lot 25 City Hall side lot 25 Railroad right of way (Greenbelt) 119 Clark building 12 1984 Total 401 In 1986, citing the cessation of federal funding, the City asked to remove the jitney bus from the system and the Commission approved the request. (5-82-251A). In 1989, following a compliance investigation, the City resubmitted their list of available remote spaces to staff.

In this related permit, the City requested: Removal of 59 parking spaces on the Greenbelt, formerly the railroad right of way, reducing parking from 119 spaces to 60; landscape with pocket park and jogging trail. Restripe Bard Street and other City lots to create 53 new parking spaces. After an initial recommendation requiring replacement of 60 spaces on site, the City returned with an inventory of remote spaces that would more than replace the missing spaces. While some spaces were outside the coastal zone, and some of them supported other recreational uses, the Commission accepted them. In August of 1992, the Commission approved the construction of the park, the removal of the parking spaces and the following inventory: Page 67 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 10 Location Number of Spaces Vons shopping center (Plaza Hermosa lower level) 168 Clark Building 861 Valley Drive, (two lots) 57 Railroad right of way (Hermosa Greenbelt) 78 City Hall front lot 43 Community center 125 Kiwanis Club and Valley Park, 2515 Valley Drive 26 Ardmore and Pier 36 Total1992 spaces 533 In addition, the City proposed 30 weekend spaces at the City employee parking lot (Mini- storage lot.) No changes to the meter operation were proposed or approved, although the Commission changed the definition of "long term parking" to 6 hours or more to reflect limitations of the City's contract with the owner of the Plaza Hermosa. This change allowed the City to consider the Plaza Hermosa spaces as long-term remote parking spaces. The Commission also added a special condition that stated that if the City were found out of compliance, the preferential parking program would terminate. (1998) 5-84-236-A-1. In April 1998, in the first amendment to the preferential parking permit, 5-84-236A 1 , the Commission approved an amendment to the underlying permit. The amendment explicitly addressed two issues: 1) the hours of enforcement of the district, and 2) the installation of meters on upper Pier Avenue. The Commission approved the changes with no special conditions. The following was the request that the City submitted. Amend preferential parking program to change the permit-restricted parking area hours from present hours (8-am to 5 pm) to extended hours (1 0 am to 10 pm); eliminate parking prohibition without a permit from 2 am to 6 am; enforce parking restriction for "yellow" and "silver". meters from 1 0 am to 12 midnight; and install two-hour maximum parking meters along upper Pier Avenue which is currently subject to two hour parking limits. While the project description did not state how long a person could park at either the yellow or silver meters, both the staff report and exhibits prepared by the applicant indicated that the 1,100 spaces along Hermosa Avenue would allow 12 hour parking, and that some spaces adjacent to Hermosa Avenue would allow 24 hour parking. The City submitted the 1989 map of remote spaces that showed 472 remote spaces and a list of parking provided. The City also provided a map of metered spaces. (See Exhibits 2, 3 12 and 14) As indicated above, given the somewhat confusing record, the Commission concludes the following: Page 68 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 11 1. The remote spaces need to be free and open for at least six hours to allow adequate time to walk the 5-6 blocks to and from the beach and enjoy the beach while there. 2. The City is obliged to provide at least 400 remote spaces every day. 3. Hermosa Avenue is supposed to provide 1,100 long-term (6-12hour) meters. 4. As part of the program, residents of the immediate neighborhood could buy a pass that allowed the unlimited parking on these "yellow (long term) meters," and in the residential areas where parking was otherwise limited to one hour. The Commission required that the City also sell day-passes to the public that allowed them to park in restricted areas. The City still sells these passes at the Department of Public Works, although staff observed no signs indicating that the permits exist. City officials state that out-of-town beach visitors park at the yellow meters on Hermosa Avenue, and now that the parking structure near the beach is complete, in the parking structure. In an earlier report, staff indicated that some Hermosa Avenue meters were limited to two or three hours. City staff has now re-surveyed its long-term pay spaces. While about 195 spaces along Hermosa Avenue are limited to serve commercial uses,5 there are still over 1200 long-term pay spaces located about a block from the beach (Exhibit 18). Staff corroborated that the long-term meters exist. B. PUBLIC SHORELINE ACCESS The Coastal Act requires the Commission to protect existing public access and to protect uses that support public beach access and recreation. Section 30210 Access; recreational opportunities; posting In carrying out the requirement of Section 4 of Article X of the California Constitution, maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse. (Amended by Ch. 1075, Stats. 1978.) Section 30211 Development not to interfere with access Development shall not interfere with the public's right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation. Section 30212.5 Public facilities; distribution 5 Other short-term pay spaces are located in downtown pay lots and along Pier Avenue and other streets immediately adjacent to the downtown Pier Avenue district. Page 69 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 12 Wherever appropriate and feasible, public facilities, including parking areas or facilities, shall be distributed throughout an area so as to mitigate the impacts, social and otherwise, of overcrowding or overuse by the public of any single area. Section 30223 Upland areas; recreation: Upland areas necessary to support coastal recreational uses shall be reserved for such uses, where feasible. The amount of public beach parking is directly related to the amount of public access to beaches in Los Angeles County, and the amount of public use of these beaches. A State Park study published in 1965 identified on-street parking as the principal limitation on public access to publicly owned beaches throughout the County. Since the time the survey was completed, there has been no significant change in the transportation system serving Los Angeles County beach areas. Beach users from other parts of the City or from cities that are located farther east in the metropolitan area cannot walk to the beach, and generally must rely on automobiles to get to the beach. However, parking for visitors' cars is limited. Hermosa Beach, like other South Bay cities, was subdivided in the early years of the century. The result of the subdivision pattern is dense development with limited on street parking, and high demand from local residents and businesses for the parking that is available. Older structures are deficient in parking, and new development, typically a duplex on a 30' x 90' lot, provides little or no guest parking. Side streets are cut with driveways. In some cases, side streets do not provide parking because they are landscaped as walk streets, providing a pedestrian amenity, but no parking. In the late 1960's, in response to a declining down town retail center, the City developed three public parking lots about a block from the beach in the "old downtown". In response to the competition for parking between residents, small business and beach- goers, Hermosa Beach instituted the preferential parking district. The Commission approved the installation of the meters, the imposition of the other restrictions and the creation of this district as a two-year experiment in 1982 (5-82-251 ). The restrictions were coupled with mitigation that provided an attractive alternative to beach visitors: 1,1 00 metered long-term beach parking spaces on Hermosa Avenue; and no less than 400 free long-term spaces six to seven blocks from the beach along the railroad right of way. In 1984, the Commission approved a permanent program that incorporated all of the Commission's conditions on the prior action into the project description (5-84-236)-except for the two-year time limit. In 1986, one feature was eliminated from the original program, a shuttle bus that had proved infeasible. Objectives of the Commission-approved system As noted above, the preferential/remote system approved by the Commission is not aimed at reducing public parking. Instead, it is intended to redirect the location of public beach parking with a combination of fees, time limits and free parking. The program allows Page 70 of 194 -· 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 13 preferential parking by permit for residents who live within four blocks of the beach, but is also designed to mitigate the exclusionary effects of the system. This system differs from other systems the Commission has denied because the City provides long-term parking meters for beach access near the beach, and free remote parking and because non- residents can park on all streets available to the residents by purchasing day permits. Additionally, 1,100 metered parking spaces located one block inland of the beach allowed ample time (12 hours) to enjoy the beach. The creation of the remote lots was crucial in persuading the Commission to approve the preferential/remote parking system in Coastal Development Permits 5-82-251 and 5-84-236 (City of Hermosa Beach). In addition to no fewer than 400 free, long-term spaces in "remote" lots, the system was described as including "unlimited parking" on the City streets east of Lorna Drive. Cypress Avenue is east of Lorna Drive. In making its findings of approval in 5-82-251, the Commission noted, "the cumulative impacts of such restrictions could be the closing of such County-owned public beaches to all but residents." The Commission noted a cumulative parking deficit of 33,340 beach parking spaces in Los Angeles County in 1964, before the seventies building boom replaced many vacant lots with more intensive uses; and it found that without parking available to the general public, it would be theoretically possible to close off the beach to non-residents. The Commission found that the Hermosa Beach plan, as approved and conditioned, was not exclusionary, rather, it redirected tourist parking to several lots which by their location on major beach routes were easy for beach visitors to find. The system relied on financial disincentives to park near the beach, where long-term parking was allowed but could cost two dollars for four hours. At the same time parking in the remote lots was free. Presently, parking prices in the downtown commercial lot or structure, immediately adjacent to the beach, and on the 1,100 yellow meters are set at one dollar an hour. At the time of the initial approval, the City contemplated charging up to 12 dollars a day for use of its downtown lots. The system relies on easy availability of free parking and clear signage to maintain the level of beach access while restricting certain areas. Signs indicating the location of public parking are posted where Valley Drive, the location of much of the parking, crosses arterials leading from the freeway. The system has not reduced public use of the beach. Recent beach visitor information from the County Department of Beaches and Harbors indicates that two and a half million visitors used the beach at Hermosa Beach last year. While these figures are estimates and do not distinguish between local citizens and visitors from other communities, they suggest that the beach remains heavily used and attracts tourists. Site visits conducted by staff revealed that a significant number of the parking spaces identified for remote parking were available for shorter intervals than originally proposed, or were reserved for other public purposes and not available as public long-term beach parking. The program was reviewed by the Commission as an integrated system, comprised of a delineation of restricted areas and mitigating free parking areas and a detailed description of the restrictions and prices that would apply. The applicant has requested only one small change to the system, but this change triggered a survey to Page 71 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 14 determine whether the Coastal Commission approved system continues to operate. Changes identified included a private developer's posting of 168 spaces in one lot for "customer use only," the redirection of 51 spaces for a Farmers' Market on Friday afternoons, conversion of some parking spaces identified in the 1992 related permit (5-92- 177) to a recreation facility, reduction in space counts due to identification of handicapped spaces and several other changes that have occurred since the program was initially approved in 1984. While some parking has been lost, other parking has become available. Since the initial approval of the program, the City has constructed a new 300-space downtown parking structure that presently allows all day parking for one dollar an hour and is located one block from the beach. However, at the time of the construction of the structure, the City characterized its primary purpose as providing parking for downtown visitor-serving development, including bars and restaurants that have been developing near the pier. 100 spaces of the lot are reserved for a hotel, and others have been committed to providing spaces for downtown businesses that lost on-street parking when the City turned lower Pier Avenue into a plaza. Since many of the restaurants operate in the evenings, the downtown facility continues to provide some beach parking. However, in an analogous situation in Santa Monica, increased commercial use of the downtown parking lead to shortening the hours that spaces in the shopping center structure were available, reducing the effectiveness of the structure for beach visitor parking. As described above, in this present amendment, the City proposes to add the west side, of one (one-block long) residential street, Cypress Avenue, to the preferential parking area and to create 15 new long-term spaces on the Greenbelt, adjacent to Valley Drive near the southern edge of the City. The spaces on Cypress Avenue would be limited to one hour except for residents. The street is six blocks inland of the beach; driveways break up the available parking. The street is not visible from major arterials and is located close to commercial establishments, not the beach. Cypress Avenue is one block from some specialty food stores and a block and a half from City Hall. It is more likely that motorists from outside the neighborhood who park there are drawn to attractions that are closest, which are the commercial establishments and City Hall. Even though the number of beach visitors who park on the block is likely to be small, the City is proposing to amend the system. All parts of the system must function in order for the preferential parking system not to impede public access to the beach. Commercial customers who had been parking on this street could move west or toward the bigger lots on Valley Drive, and displace beach visitors. The Commission finds that the remote parking system as designed, as conditioned in 1982, and resubmitted by the City as a complete system "incorporating the conditions" and approved by the Commission is consistent with public access to and use of the beach. The Commission has consistently found that if the free remote lots, long term parking on the first road and adequate signage are provided, restriction of public parking in the residential neighborhoods closer to the beach is consistent with Sections 30210, 30211, 30212.5, and 30223 of the Coastal Act that require public access to the beach. Moreover Page 72 of 194 -· 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 15 consistent with Section 30213, the remote parking is provided at an affordable price-free. As long as the system is functioning as designed, and the proposed mitigation is provided, the proposed changes to the restricted area will not reduce access to the beach. The reduction of the number of free remote spaces during the workweek is the first material change. In the Los Angeles region, with the exception of an anomalous hot day, beach attendance is much higher on holidays and weekends than during the workweek. Earlier efforts to use the City Hall lot had to be abandoned in the 1992 action because the City Hall parking lot is heavily used during the week for City business. The City initially proposed to replace these spaces with spaces in the lower level of the Plaza Hermosa shopping center, but can no longer use that lot. It can however provide 396 spaces on weekends and holidays. The loss of four spaces to re-striping is not significant number. The conversion of Cypress Avenue to preferential spaces will not reduce beach access because the existing spaces are difficult to find and because the mitigation spaces provide better coastal access parking spaces than the spaces on Cypress Avenue that the City is proposing to restrict. The new spaces along Valley Drive are located closer to the beach than the newly restricted spaces; and, more importantly, they are located on a major arterial. Therefore, the change is consistent with Sections 30210-30223 of the Coastal Act. C. COMPLIANCENIOLATIONS The materials submitted as part of the application indicate that the City has not continued to provide the number of long-term free remote spaces that it proposed in the past, inconsistent with the permit. When the City and Commission staffs inventoried parking spaces in May and June 2004, the City staff identified 598 public parking spaces that were available to the public for varying lengths of time. The total number of seven-day remote spaces is lower than the City's initial offer, and much lower that the offer made when moving some of the parking lots eastward. While the City had previously identified 472 parking spaces that were available for public use for long-term free parking for seven days a week, as required in the permit, in 2004, City staff could only identify 269 free long term spaces available for no less than 6 hours for 7 days a week and a total of 320 long term spaces available on at least six days a week (including the 269 that are available 7 days per week)) (Exhibit 11 ); 76 spaces were available only on weekends. This is inconsistent with both COP 5-84-236 as amended and in the Commission's approval of the related COP 5-92-177 in which "long term" was defined to mean at least 6 hours. (Exhibits 12 and 15). Following are the changes to the originally approved system: 1. The 168 spaces in Plaza Hermosa identified as long term spaces in 1989, 1992 and 1996 were not available; Page 73 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 16 2. Seventeen spaces on Eleventh Place near the Community Center had been metered to 2-hour spaces, as had Pier Avenue near the Community Center. 3. Part of the 125-space Community Center lot that had been identified as a major source of remote parking in 1992 and 1998 was developed for other uses. 4. Some spaces at City Hall and in the Greenbelt were reserved for City vehicle storage. 5. Fifty-one spaces along Valley Drive (the Clark Building lots) were used for a Friday farmers' market. 6. Re-striping for safety and handicapped use had slightly reduced the number of parking spaces in several lots, including the Plaza Hermosa lot. See next page) As the chart below will show, the number of free remote spaces available in the system has dropped to 269 and (396 on the weekends). Except during unusually hotweather, most visitors come on weekends, when the remote system is four spaces short. The Commission can, on the other hand, require changes to the system so that adequate parking remains for the public. (See chart on next page.)

' 2-3- hour meters 446 446 2-3 hour meters The use of Plaza Hermosa has long been essential in maintaining the adequate number of remote spaces. In 1989, the City offered to incorporate the 168-space Plaza Hermosa parking lot into the system. The City again offered the lot when they proposed to construct park facilities on the former right-of-way (Hermosa Greenbelt) (COP 5-92-177). In COP 5- 92-177, the Commission agreed to redefine the minimum parking interval for "long term parking" to six hours because the City's agreement with the Plaza Hermosa limited parking to 6-hour periods. However, the City now indicates that the owner does not want to offer parking to the public. Page 75 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 18 A second, vital part of the beach parking program, were the 1,100 12-24 hour meters along Hermosa Avenue, which stretches from one city boundary to the other. The Commission approved the initial installation of these meters and accepted that a resident with a tag or a visitor with a day-pass could park along Hermosa Avenue without paying as part of the preferential parking system. The City agrees that these spaces are an important component of its beach access system. The City asserts that a field count indicates that 1,213 of these spaces are presently available to the public. The applicant indicates that it continues to provide 3961ong-term free public parking spaces on weekends, fewer than the number of spaces that it previously proposed (400, 533 and 472). It indicates that these spaces are available when the demand is the highest. By approval of this amendment, the Commission concurs with the reduction of the number of remote spaces, and the provision of fewer than 400 spaces during the work week. Day passes re still available at the Police Department; an initial attempt to sell them at booths in Valley Park did not result in the sale of many passes. The price is still five dollars. To assure that the City continues in compliance after the reduction, Special Condition 2 provides that if the City wishes to change the location, cost or hours of any remote or metered spaces, the change must be reported to the Executive Director to determine where an amendment to the permit is necessary. To assure that the public is informed of alternative parking, staff is recommending in Special Condition 3, that the City prepare an updated signage and public information program. As conditioned, to assure that the underlying project is operating as originally proposed, the project, with the proposed minor change, will be consistent with the Coastal Act. As conditioned, the project will be consistent with the public access sections of the Coastal Act. Although development has taken place prior to submission of this permit application, consideration of the application by the Commission has been based solely upon the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. Approval of this permit does not constitute a waiver of any legal action with regard to any alleged violations nor does it constitute an admission as to the legality of any development undertaken on the subject site without a coastal development permit. While compliance with the suggested special conditions should achieve the Commission's intent in approving the original permit, the amendment, and the related permit, the Commission's enforcement division will evaluate whether further actions to address this matter are necessary. D. Local Coastal Program Section 30604 (a) of the Coastal Act states that: • Page 76 of 194 J 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 19 Prior to certification of the Local Coastal Program, a Coastal Development Permit shall be issued if the issuing agency, or the Commission on appeal, finds that the proposed development is in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 30200) of this division and that the permitted development will not prejudice the ability of the local government to prepare a local coastal program that is in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 30200). In 1981, the Commission approved a coastal Land Use Plan for the City of Hermosa Beach. The Land Use Plan included conceptual discussion of a preferential parking program that, similar to the one that was approved, included free long term remote parking as an incentive to avoid parking near in residential neighborhoods, fees for parking nearer the beach, and a preferential system in neighborhoods located from one to four blocks from the beach. The implementation ordinances are not yet certified. The Commission approved the permit for the preferential parking program before certifying the LCP, and will continue to have jurisdiction over the permit. As conditioned, to assure that the proposed development will be carried out as proposed in 1984 and in 1998, and as conditioned in this action to assure that the development will be consistent with the public access policies of the Coastal Act, approval of the amendment to the proposed development will not prejudice the City's ability to prepare a certifiable Local Coastal Program. The Commission, therefore, finds that the proposed project is consistent with the provisions of Section 30604 (a) of the Coastal Act. E. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT Section 13096 of the California Code of Regulations requires Commission approval of a Coastal Development Permit application to be supported by a finding showing the application, as conditioned by any conditions of approval, to be consistent with any applicable requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 21080.5(d)(2)(i) of CEQA prohibits a proposed development from being approved if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact which the activity may have on the environment. The Commission considered denying the inclusion of Cypress Avenue into the preferential parking program because the City had changed the administration of its project, and had reduced the number of weekday remote spaces. The Commission concludes that this would leave 13 spaces open to the public. Those thirteen spaces are already heavily used by nearby residents, by visitors to City Hall and to nearby commercial establishments and provide relatively little beach parking. In addition, the City is proposing to provide 15 new spaces along Valley Drive at the southern end of the City. These spaces would provide beach and recreation parking that is not available in the southern end of the City and would increase public access consistent with the public access policies of the Coastal Act. Denying the amendment would result in fewer public parking spaces. Page 77 of 194 5-84-236A2 (City of Hermosa Beach) Page 20 The Commission considered approving this amendment without addressing the inconsistencies of the current operation of the preferential parking system with the project that the Commission approved. Without the mitigation measures and features that brought the project into consistency with the Coastal Act, the underlying project is not consistent with the Coastal Act. Even thirteen spaces cannot operate separately from the project as a whole and the mitigation measures devised to bring the project into consistency with the Coastal Act. Moreover, approval without resolving issues that affect the integrity of the system as a whole would result in confusion as to whether the Commission's original conditions and the features of the City's original project were necessary to achieve a balanced system of parking control and provision of public access. Approval of a system without access features would result in an exclusionary system. A preferential parking system that did not replace restricted parking and did not reserve some parking near the beach for the public could reduce the availability of the beach and other day-use facilities to the public. The proposed project as conditioned includes mitigation measures that guarantee that long-term paid parking will be available to the public near the beach and long term free parking will be available in locations that are a reasonable walking distance from the beach. · As conditioned, the proposed permit amendment will not cause any significant adverse impacts on the environment. Therefore, the Commission finds that there are no feasible alternatives or additional mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact which the activity would have on the environment, and that the project can be found consistent with the requirements of the Coastal Act to conform to CEQA.

The City Council authorized this permit amendment at their meeting of June 25, 2002 by adoption of Resolution 02-6210. The preferential parking district was approved in 1982 and 1984 and the program has previously been amended in 1992 and 1997. The subject request would add one small block to the un- metered area of the preferential parking district, and would thus limit parking on Cypress A venue between 10:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. to a one-hour limit, except for residential permit holders. While the proposal will have negligible impacts on coastal access parking, the City has created some additional remote beach access parking in another part of the City that will mitigate the impact of the loss of 13 parking spaces. The City has striped an additional 15 on-street parking spaces along Valley Drive south of Second Street, which is public free parking with no limitations on hours (see attached map).

Parking occupancy surveys were conducted at night to determine the demand for parking on this block. The surveys were conducted on June 11, 2002 and June 13, 2002 at 1 0 PM and on June 15, 2002 at 3 PM. During the two evening surveys, on-street parking was observed at 19 and 21 vehicles respectively. The number of vehicles observed exceeded the allowable supply because some vehicles were parked illegally on both sides of the street. It should be noted that parking is not permitted on the east side of the street. In addition, vehicles parked off street on private property were not included in the survey. On Saturday, seven vehicles were parked on Cypress Avenue during the survey period. As shown on Figure 2, within one-quarter mile of Cypress Avenue, there are 168 public parking spaces in both on and off street parking lots. These are summarized as follows: 1. City Hall -18 2-hour spaces {excluding the library) 2. City Lot at 11th Place {Public Storage property)-32 spaces 3. City Lot on 11 1h Street {12 hour parking)-26 spaces 4, Valley Drive East Lot {quasi on-street)-77 spaces 5. Valley Drive West Lot {12 Hour parking)-15 spaces Parking occupancies were observed at each lot during the midday on Thursday June 13, 2002 and Saturday, June 15, 2002 at 3 PM. {Three PM on Saturday was considered the theoretical peak period for potential beach activity.) Table 1. sumrl)arizes this information.

This parking characteristic is particularly useful to determine the time of day when parking spaces are used most and least efficiently and to determine times when there is opportunity for shared parking among land uses. Parking is generally considered to be at capacity when 85% or more of spaces are occupied. As shown in Table 1, the utilization of the entire supply of parking in the surrounding neighborhood during the average weekday was 70%. The average utilization on Saturday was 30%. The weekday parking demand in these neighborhood parking lots is generated mostly by City employees, primarily at the 11111 Place Lot. However, as the table shows there is sufficient parking · supply in the other area lots to handle more parking demand. On Saturday, the demand for parking in the area lots was about 30 percent. In summary, the Cypress Avenue neighborhood has sufficient parkir weekday and weekend parking demand. 2 EXHIBIT NO. APPLICATION NO. i.

The tabulations are based on what they observed. Note, this does not include the 15 spaces on Valley Drive we are proposing as mitigation. The numbers show that we are pretty close in most parking areas to the 1992 numbers, with the significant exception of the Community Center. The lower number at the community center is due to the new tennis courts that were added to compensate for the skate park which replaced two tennis courts along Pier Avenue. Please consider the fact that when the 1992 permit (to remove greenbelt parking) was granted, the condition to require 533 spaces (I'm not sure where that carne from?) was a substantial increase in remote parking than the original number for the preferential parking program (400). With these observed numbers (507) plus the 15 spaces along Valley Drive we have 522--well in excess of the 400 which was considered adequate with the original preferential parking distirct permit and is certainly adequate now. Also, as we have discussed, the amount of available beach parking has substantially increased closer to the beach with the construction of the parking structure. With this information, we believe you should recommend favorably on this request to add Cypress Avenue to the preferential parking district as it only represents 13 on-street parking spaces. I also have photos of the signing at these various lots, and can provide you further documentation with aerial photos if you need it. After you review this information, let's talk. <<Parking.xls>> Ken Robertson Senior Planner City of Hermosa Beach Community Development Department 1 EXHIBIT NO. /I!)

Dear Mr. Schubach, This letter is in response to your request to modify the above parking program original·; approved by the Coastal Commission in 1982, again in 1984 and amended in 1986. Your letter also seeks to clarify the required number of remote public parking spaces as approved by the Commission. The City specifically requests written approval to substitute a total of 248 parking spaces previously provided in three City Hall parking lots, the Rotary Clgb and the Valley Middle School parking lots for 319 new public parking spaces to be located at the Kaiwanis Club, the Community Center and the lower level of the Von's Shopping Center, as shown on the attached exhibit. The new locations are no more than two-hundred feet from the old locations. Additionally, the 168 spaces at the Von's Shopping Center are publicly-financed parking spaces and permit six hour free public parking. Your letter further contends that the requested revision does not constitute a permit amendment since the original permit did not include specific locations for the parking spaces, but to only provide them to the satisfaction of the Executive Director. Given the above facts regarding the new parking locations, this letter constitutes approval of the proposed modifications as shown on the attached exhibit entitled, •Revised Remote Parking 1-19-89.• This exhibit indicates 471 parking spaces are provided. The second issue of your letter 1s ati apparently new dispute over the number of parking spaces that were required under the permit. You state, that if the original permit approval is read carefully, 1t w111 show that only 200 spaces were required with an additional 100 spaces to be provided ~t a. later date. Page 93 of 194 ·' Page 2 Schubach S ·Cf1,·J11 E~~.~-. S"f~ The original permit, 5-82-251 was conditionally approved by the Commission on May 18, 1982. The project as proposed by the City included, •the improvement of two parking lots for 150 and 50 cars respectively.• The Commiss1on imposed four special conditions on that permit, the fourth one requiring, •one hundred additional parking spaces which shall be made available ••• by the middle of June, 1982. Furthermore by March 1, 1983, the City shall identify an additional one-hundred such spaces which shall be available for the parking program by mid-June (June 18) of 1983• (emphasis added). A c~py of that permit, signed by the City thereby accepting the condidtions, is attached. lased on the above, 400 parking spaces were originally required --200 proposed by the City (150 and 50) and 200 more as conditioned by the Commission. · However the original permit was valid for only two years and expired in May, 1984. On·July 11, 1984 the Commission approved the second permit, 5-84-236 with standard conditions, the preferential parking program as proposed by the City. That approval was basically for the continuation of the earlier approved program but included modifications regarding fees, posting of signs and enforcement. The findings and declarations adopted by the Commission as part of the May 1, 1984 Staff Report and Reco~edation states that 400 remote parki~g spaces at seven locations were being proposed. A copy of this staff report is also enclosed. On July 23, 1984 we received the signed copy of this second permit including the exhibit showing 401 remote public parking spaces at seven locations (a copy of which is also enclosed). The May 30, 1986 amendment deleted the beach shuttle from the parking program but did not change the number of remote parking spaces. 1 hope this letter clarifies the number of public parking spaces to be provided under the remote parking program. Should you wish to reduce the number of spaces below 400, another amendment must be obtained from the Conni ss ion. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me. For assistance regarding any other regulatory or Local Coastal Program planning issues you should contact Jim Ryan, lead planner for Hermosa leach or Pam Emerson, supervisor for this area.

The p~eferential parking area encompa•••• an area of approximately 46-acret bounded by the Strand to the west, the City'• northern and touthern boundaries, and Loma and Morning aide Drivel to the east in the City of Bermota Beach. The preferential parking area extend• approximately 1,000 feet inland. B. Background Bermota Beach, like many other beach communitiet in the Lot Angeles area, wat tubdivided and developed when public transportation wat a reality. The lott were laid out for seasonal beach cottages, and the many existing structures were conttructed with no parking or inadequate parking. The streets are narrow, the denaitiet high, parking ia scarce for retidentt at well aa for viti tort. In response to this problem the City maintain• 471 free public parking tpacea about five or tix block• from the beach along the railroad right-of-way corridor, and in 1982 implemented a preferential parking and remote beach parking program (CDP #5-82-251). The preferential parking and remote beach parking program wat implemented with "disincentive•" to discourage public on-street parking along the beach area and "incentives" to encourage use of free remote parking. The program included placement of parking meters on Hermosa Avenue, the arterial parallel to the beach and one block inland, and designated 1,300 on-street parking meters on Hermosa Avenue and on eatt west atreett in the beach impact "Preferential Permit Parking Zone" for long term residential parking. Moat of the metert allow~d twelve hour parking. The City alto posted Manhattan Avenue (a collector parallel to the beach and two blocks inland) fo·r •one hour parking without permit•, and installed 200 •silver meters" providing up to two hour• of parking in cummercial areas. The residential area included 1,100 •yellow meter•" with one hour maximum time limits. The •yellow metert" allowed unlimited parking for retidenta but alto allowed four hour parking for beach vititort. Annual Permitt were made available to retidentt and certified employees allowing permitted vehicles to park in any zone with no time limit • The City also propoted remote lots and area• of unlimited free parkin; at part of the program. The incentive to uae the remote lott wat that the parking on these lots would be •unlimited free public parking". Page 97 of 194 S-84-236A Page 4 The Commiaaion approved the program with apecial condition• to create 1) 200 additional free parking apace• in lot• located four to aix block• frcm the beach in addition to thoae originally propoaed, for a total of 400 "long term free public" parking apace• !n remote lota, 2) aell day parking permit• within the City to any peraon at two location•, and to 3) operate a fr .. bua from the remote lot to the beach. In 1984 the City aubmitted an application for a reviaed preferential/ remote parking program (#S-84-236). The reviaed program incorporated all but one of the aforementioned condition• in in ita deacription. Thia program prOYided 400 beach ace••• apace• on a number of lota, and provided for annual permita for reaidenta of the beach ~pact zone and day permit• to anyone. In 1986, the Commiaaion granted a requeat by the City to remove the bua portion of the project due to lack of riderahip and lack of funding. . In 1997 the Commiaaion approved a permit (#S-97-011) for the conatruction of a 380 ~blic apace parking, plua 100 apace• to aupport a new hotel development [CDP# S-96-282 (Seaview Hotel)), adjacent to Hermoaa Avenue. The purpoae of the parking atructure waa to reduce the parking problem in the area. The City alao indicated that they would diacontinue aelling monthly parking permitl to employee• of the downtown commercial area. The City atated that by diacontinuing the ae· .in; of permit• to employee• parking apace• within the downtown area and along the beach would become available to viaitora the the downtown area and to the beach. c.

One change will be to the hours of enforcement of the permit parking only areaa. The permit parking only area hours are currently from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The amendment will change the enforcement hour• to between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. The aecond change will be to the •yellow metera• and •ailver metera•. The •yellow meters• are currently enforced 24 houra. The •ailver metera" are currently enforced from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. along lower Pier Ave and the surrounding atreeta. The other areas that have "ailver meters" currently are enforced between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. The propoaed amendment will change the enforcement of all meter• to 10 a.m. to 12 midnight • .. The changing from ai;n restrictions to meters along Pier Avenue, and the change in the hours of enforcement within the exiatin; preferential/ parkin; program district, will not adversely impact beach acceaa. The change ia • actually a positive change in terms of beach ace•••· The proposed houra will reduce the hour• of enforcement in the morning, from 1 to 4 houra, and increase the enforcement hours in the evening by 4 to 6 houra. The change will provide 1 to 4 houra of additional free parkin; in the morning for the areas adjacent to the beach ("yellow" and •ailver" metera). Thia will allow early morning beachgoera and recreationaliat additional hours of frH parking. The increased enforc' .ant in the evening hours will not significantly impact beach access because beach access generally occur• durin; the day and has tapered off significantly in the evening. However, there are some users of the beach and Strand durin; the evening hours, especially during the summer where the daylight hour• are longer. But at this time the number of people using the beach and aurrounding area for recreational purposes has significantly diminished aa compared to the afternoon and late afternoon period. For thoae continuing to uae the metered atreet parking areas for acceaaing the beach or Strand for recreational purposes in the early evening the metered on-street parking will continue to be available and the change will mean that they will have to pay for an additional 1 to 2 hours for the last hours of remaining daylight. Furthermore, the preferential parking and remote beach parkin; program was approved with "disincentives" to discourage long-term atreet parkin; and encourage use of the public lots so that the ahort-term street parkin; would be available for commercial patrons and to reduce the conflict between residents and beachgoers. The proposed changes to the Residential Preferential Parking Diatrict is intended to reduce the intruaion of commercial parkin; into adjacent residential neighborhoods durin; the evening hours. Beac~goer parking during the day will not be impacted. The proposed change in enforcement hours will encourage short-term ~etail parking on the atreets within the Commercial area and longer term parking in the City'• beach lota, including the City'• propoaed parkin; atructure (COP 15-97-011). The proposed amendment is consiatent with the orioinal intent of the Commission approved parking program in that with the longer evening hour• of enforcement long-term street parking will be discouraged which will free up atreet parking for patrons of the commercial establishments and reduce the parking conflict between resident• and beachgoera. The Commiaaion, therefore, finds that the proposed amendment will not adversely impact coastal acceaa and will be consistent with Sections 30213, and 30252 of the eoaatal Act and with the applicable policies of the City'• Land Oae Plan.

Ocean Blvd., Suite 3107 Long Beach, California 90801 Re: Permit No. 5-82-251 Parking Program Honorable Chairman and Members of tra California Coastal Commission: In this letter, the City would like to take the opportunity to address your staff report. The report accurately and succinctly describes the_City's program. The City also sees no conflict in interest with the major 9ortion of the recommended conditions as the City is equally concerned as the Commission in the protec- tion of Coastal access. We howev~r should like to make the following points: (1) The City operates a nearly identical program as the County of Santa Cruz for which a coastal permit has been issued. (2) The Commission has conceptually approved this program as described in the City's Land Use Plan by a unanimous decision in August 1981. (3) In addressing the recommended conditions, the City would like to present the following comments with respect to Condition 1. The City ••. "shall make long term parking permits . . available to non-residents and residents on a first come first serve basis." (a) The non-resident is offered long term permit~ in the form of a day permit. The permit costs $2.00 and is valid for one full day's parking. If it is not used, it can be used on another day.since it ·is self-validating. There is ~o limit on the number of permits an individual can buy. For example, if . . . a teachgoer anticipates visiting the beach every --~~---:--..:.......-, . /, .. ···'i, ·-·/ .. , t : ~ .. , J' -> .. ·,, i® ~; -.., • f -!I . •. .... . . -·~ ~ Page 105 of 194 • EXHIBIT NO. 16, California Coastal Commission May 14, 1982 APPLICATION NO. Page 2 weekend ~uring the summer, he .can purchase the appro- priate number ot permits at one time or individually. For one month, this would cost.$1~.00. (b) The non-resident has the ~dditional option ~t unlimited free parking. (1) Ea•t of the area boundaries (appro~imately 3 blocks from the beach). (2) At the remote lot using the jitney. OR (1) Paid parking at the yellow meters which provides up to 12 hours parking at $.50 an hour· and (2) The commercial lots at $~25 an hour but limited to two hour parking. (c) If the affixed residential parking permits are distri- buted on a first come, first serve basis, it is possible the program w~ll eliminat. any and all parking for those residents Without orr-street parking. Becau3e the City required no off-street parking until 1957, there are a good number of residents without any off-street parking. The City· suggests that. Condition No. 1 be amended to read: 1. Shall make long-term parking permits available to non- residents and residents on a first come, first ~erve basis. The day permit shall be considered a viable long-term·permit. Conditions 2 - 4 address concerns the City has already voiced in the operation of the program. The City has initiated steps to resolve these and sees no conflict in the conditions. Another item we would like to transmit to you in this letter are some recent changes made in the parameters ot the program by the City Council. The City Council acted at their May 11, 1982 meeting to: (1) Change the fees of the annual permits from $15.00 and $17.00 to $10.00 overall. (2) To enforce the preferential parking program during the summer months only (May 15 -September 15). The yellow meters will be enforced year round, (3) To allow neighborhoods to enter or have the program by a petition of 2/3 of the residents of the neighborhood. After discussion with the staff, it was sugg~sted that any changes 1n the boundaries would be properly signed for the public and could be made with the approval of the Executive Director of the Commission. The City would prefer the times and areas of enforcement to be flexible. · I Page 106 of 194 I . , =--· ·.,..-.'

Additionally the City is proposing to increase the coat of the day permits from $2.00 to $5.00 and to charge a 25¢ fare for the shuttle bus serving the remote parking lots. Following is a more specific description as submitted by the City · of those changes in cost: The City a proposin& certain c:ha,.es Jn Jta procram to ~tetter Met the partdn& demand needs.

P't Additionally, because of on-going public concerns, the Commission • staff has requested and the City has agreed to incorporate three additional modifications to the parking program. Followingis the City's response: In hlsletter of Febnary t, 19M, Robert loleph ft:lic:ated that the City lhould addpu certain conditions. Thne lndladech 1. Postift& of the remote parkJna loti. 2. Adjultjn& the hours of ticlcetin& and enforcement to match each other, and & JmprovJn& the ailtin& Iiana with more concJie verb&&e and Jnformation. The City is proposin~ to amefld "-ir booth ail"~ to ,_cb '-ch Visitor InformatiOn" Free Parkin& and 2'C ShurtJe 9AM-JPM 7 •ys/week • May U to September U (1) Public parkin& Ji&na will be posted at the remote loU that are not already posted so that people not familiar with the area will be able to euUy locate these lots. (2) The issue addressed by comment runber 2 was Jn response to a query by a resident. Durin& the winter months (September ls.May 15). the beach lhuttle does not operate even thou&h parkin& permits are ltiJJ required to park at the yellow meters (if one does not want to pay the meters). The reason for the lade of the lhuttle operation is a fraction of the NMier eeuona1 demand. The remote loU remain unused and the shuttle becomes ~ssary as people are able to park within a block of the beach. It would be Judic:rou& to offer a lhuttle Mrvice that would be unable to let people any doter to the beach than they already were. (J)A.tso, the information booths will have visitor information brochures inclicatin& the location of the loU and the frequency of the lhuttle, u well u information on dally permits. The parkin& information booths wUI be open 1 *YI a week from May U to September IJ between the hours of lalJ a.m. and ... , PA Daily permits are aftllable at City Hall also. The proposed preferential parking and remote beach parking program is for a four month period from May 15 to September 15. This program is separate from an existing on-going 12 month residential permit parking program (yellow meter program) which the City implemented prior to developing the preferential parking program. The yellow meters are located along Hermosa Avenue and on two minor streets l/2 block from the beach. · Residents of the coastal area can purchase an annual permit which allows them to park at the yellow meters without paying the meter year round. This same permit allows the residents to park on the streets when parking is restricted during the summer months pursuant to the preferential parking program. Page 111 of 194 • )• ·~'1 . 2\tl\1. S-84-236 ~ ~ L..(,.4 (") Page 5 ,~ The yellow meter program is a separate program from the summer preferential parking program in that beach visitor parking is not limited by the yellow meters. Beach visitors can park during the winter months (when only the yellow meter program is in operation) on ·any residential street for free with of course the exception of Hermosa Avenue. Staff has had extensive discussions and correspondence (See · · EXhibits C through G) with a concerned local resident and the City regarding the annual parking permit program versus the proposed 4-monfh summer preferential parking • • c. Develo~ment. Section 30252(40 of the Coastal Act states that •The location an amount of new development should maintain and enhance public access to the coast by. • • • (4) providing adequate parking facilities or providing substitute means_of serving the development with public transportation ••• • The City of Hermosa Beach has historically experienced a shortage of parking due to competing parking demands of beach-goers, custormers of commercial establishments, and the surrounding residential uses which range from low to high density. In order to alleviate those parking demands, the City has proposed the subject parking management plan which consists of a parking permit program and a park-and-ride system. According to the City, the program has been •designed to reduce traffic and parking impacts by reallocating the beach visitor demand to an area of the City that can better meet the need. This is done through a permit pricing syst·em and the providing of the alternative of free remote parking and a beach shuttle to transport these visitors to the beach. If the visitor does not want to take advantage of this remote parking, a daily parking permit may be purchased enabling the visitor to park in the impacted area for a certain fee.• The proposed parking program will affect approximately 1300 metered on-street parking spaces and will provide 400 remote parking spaces at seven locations (see Exhibit B). In order to demonstrate the impact on beach access, the Commission conditioned the previous coastal permit requiring the City to maintain beach attendance figures and bus ridership records.

The City has made a diligent effort to encourage access to the beach while at the same time providing some relief for the severe local parking problems that exist in the City. The City has been implementing the parking program for two years and has proposed to fine-tune the pro- gram to address both public and coastal staff concerns. The proposed development will lessen traffic and parking impacts within a congested area by creating and encouraging alternative parking. If a beach-user does not wish to take advantage of one of the more than 400 free remote parking spaces, a daily parking permit may be purchased for a certain fee. Additionally, the City has proposed a signage and information program to adequately inform the public. Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed development is consistent with Section 30210 to provide "maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse." The Commission further finds that the proposed parking plan will enhance public access to the coast, consistent with Section 30252 of the Coastal Act. • Page 113 of 194 _C_i t ... y_o_f _H_e_r_m_o_s_a_B_e_a_c_h __ 4 .

Carrie Tai, AICP Community Development Director Page 121 of 194 Page 122 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 56 Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Meeting Date: July 16, 2024 Staff Report No. 24-CDD-019 REQUEST FOR A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP 24-06) TO ALLOW EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS TO AN EXISTING 28-UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING LOCATED AT 1803 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY IN THE MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE (R-3) (Alexis Oropeza, Planning Manager for Johnathan Masi) CEQA: DETERMINE THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) Determine the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1 Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA; and 2) Approve a Precise Development Plan (PDP 24-06) to allow exterior alterations to an existing 28-unit apartment building at 1803 Pacific Coast Highway, subject to conditions. Executive Summary: The applicant requests a Precise Development Plan (PDP), to allow exterior modifications to a 28-unit apartment building, including replacing the on-site pool, installing new roof- mounted heat pumps for all units, adding new siding and brick veneer, adding two gas fire pits and a gas barbeque, installing new flatwork sitewide, and replacing exterior windows and entry doors for all units. Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the requested PDP, subject to conditions. Background: The property is located on the west side of Pacific Coast Highway, between 16th Street and 25th Street in the Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3). The existing 28-unit apartment building was constructed in 1963, but the property has no historic entitlements. The City Council in 1990 adopted Ordinance 90-1206, introducing Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 17.58, concerning Precise Development Plans. On May 21, 2024, the applicant filed an application for a Precise Development Plan (PDP), for exterior modifications to the apartment building, including replacing the on-site pool, installing new roof-mounted heat pumps for all units, adding new siding and brick veneer, adding two gas fire pits and a gas barbeque, installing new flatwork sitewide, and replacing exterior windows and entry doors for all units. Page 123 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 56 Site Information Table: The following table describes the existing site characteristics. Site Information General Plan High-Density Residential (HD) Zoning Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Lot Size 18,577 square feet Existing Building Square Footage 14,384 square feet (No Change) Surrounding Zoning North: R-3 East: R-2, SPA-8 South: R-3 West: R-3 Surrounding Uses North: Multi-Family Residential East: Multi-Family Residential South: Multi-Family Residential West: Multi-Family Residential Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.58.020 remodels or additions of 1,500 square feet or more in any zone must obtain a Precise Development Plan. The purpose of the PDP review is to achieve a reasonable level of quality, and compatibility, in harmony with the community’s social, economic, and environmental objectives, and to protect existing and potential developments, and uses on adjacent and surrounding property. Project Description The proposes exterior modifications, including replacing the on-site pool, installing new roof-mounted heat pumps for all units, adding new siding and brick veneer, adding two gas fire pits and a gas barbeque, installing new flatwork sitewide, and replacing exterior windows and entry doors for all units. Additionally, the project proposes new roof-mounted heat pumps for all units, and a new trash enclosure, for site-wide service. The plans include four Accessory Dwelling Units created from the existing covered passageway and garage space. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65852.2 ADUs require a ministerial approval and are not subject to the Planning Commission’s review authority of the PDP. Additionally, state law mandates that ADUs do not count towards the maximum allowed density in the zone. Discussion: The proposed project is a rehabilitation of an existing structure and site. The existing structure and use is legal nonconforming with regards to building density, parking, and open space. The legal nonconforming buildings and use regulation of the Zoning Page 124 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 56 Ordinance (HBMC Section 17.52.010) are intended to allow the buildings and uses that were legally permitted at the time of construction but no longer conform to current development standards to remain and be maintained, to encourage restoration and maintenance of existing residential buildings, and limit expansions. Additional features include a fire pit and gas barbeque located in the rear yard outside of the required setbacks. The existing 450-square-foot pool would be replaced with a smaller 176-square-foot pool in the same location. The pool amenity is not an open space requirement. The Municipal Code defines open space as “areas which are from ground to sky free and clear of any obstructions or obstacles unless otherwise specified within each zone classification.” A portion of the pool is currently located under a building area and does not qualify as open space. The total overall remaining open space would be maintained in conformance with the minimum R-3 Zone development standards. The area would be improved with a new gas barbeque and fire pit. The total overall open space remains unchanged, and the pool conforms with R-3 development standards. The proposed roof-mounted equipment is subject to the maximum height standards for the R-3 zone. All portions of the equipment must be within the maximum allowable height—30 feet. Project plans (Attachment 2) include height calculations showing the equipment closest to the maximum height line, are within the height limit. The new trash enclosure located at the rear of the property would accommodate bins trash, recycling, green waste, and food consistent with PLAN Hermosa Policy 6.2 of the Sustainability and Conservation Element.

Additionally, the project proposes no expansion in floor area or substantial change to building massing or form. Findings: The purpose and intent of requiring precise development plan review for development projects is to achieve a reasonable level of quality, compatibility, in harmony with the community’s social, economic and environmental objectives, and to protect existing and potential developments, and uses on adjacent and surrounding property. HBMC Section 17.58.030(B) provides general criteria when considering a PDP for any development: 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects; The subject property is surrounded by other similarly zoned residential uses. The project proposes no change to the footprint of the building or number of residential units and would not create any long-term negative effects to adjacent properties. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need; The property currently provides 28 covered parking spaces. The project proposes no change to onsite supply of parking and would retain its legal nonconforming condition. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility; The subject property is currently developed with an high-density apartment building. The property is residentially zoned, and the project would not change the existing use. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area; The project would not change the existing site circulation or property frontage. Vehicles entering the property will continue to utilize the existing driveway along the north side of the property, accessed by Pacific Coast Highway. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; Any proposed onsite signage is subject to HBMC Section 17.50.090. All signs require a permanent sign permit application and must be submitted to the Community Development Department. OPEN SPACE: Common Open Space 100 square feet per unit (2,800 square feet) 1,020 square feet (No change) Private Open Space: 300 square feet per unit (8,400 square feet) 0 square feet (No change) Formatted Table Formatted: Left, Space Before: 0 pt, After: 0 pt, Linespacing: single Formatted: Space Before: 0 pt, After: 0 pt, Line spacing: single Page 126 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 56 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools; The project proposes no change to the existing site access on Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is the only street access for the site, and poses no impacts to other potentially sensitive uses including schools and hospitals. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; Temporary noise and vibrations generated by construction shall be limited to levels permissible under PLAN Hermosa. Specifically, staff proposes conditions requiring construction measures to minimize noise and vibration impacts to adjacent properties. Further, staff proposes a condition in the attached Draft Resolution (Attachment 1) ensuring the proposed roof-mounted equipment will not exceed permissible noise levels outlined by Table 6.3 of the Public Safety Element of PLAN Hermosa. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; The project proposes modern design elements and compliance measures that will result in a reduced impact on City infrastructure and other services. Specifically, the project proposes energy-efficient windows consistent with the California Building Code, Title 24, as well as efficient heat pumps that will reduce the generated demand on utilities. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms; The project qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project proposes minor exterior alterations to an existing structure, which under CEQA, means the project is expected to generate minimal environmental impacts. 10. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the planning commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. No other considerations at this time. General Plan Consistency: This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated and found consistent with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below: General Plan Consistency General Plan Findings LAND USE ELEMENT Goal 2.

The project proposes minor exterior alterations to an existing structure, which under CEQA, means the project is expected to generate minimal environmental impacts. J. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the planning commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole: No other considerations at this time. SECTION 2. Based on the evidence received at the public meeting, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines, and declares that the project is consistent with the City’s General Plan (PLAN Hermosa) because the Precise Development Plan is consistent with 1) Land Use Element Goal 2 and Policy 2.6, Goal 13 and Policy 13.5; 2) Sustainability and Conservation Element Goal 6 and Policy 6.2; and 3) Parks and Open Space Element as shown below.

Executive Summary: The Planning Commission in 2018 approved a shared parking arrangement between 2510, 2420 and 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard, in conjunction with a Precise Development Plan to allow the redevelopment of 2420 and 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, Hope Chapel. The applicant requests a Parking Plan amendment to accommodate a conversion of medical office use where a general office use was previously approved. Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the requested Parking Plan amendment, subject to conditions. Background: The properties involved in this request are located near the southeast corner of Artesia Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway in the General and Highway Commercial (C-3) Zone. The site is currently developed with three buildings including the Hope Chapel, Lazy Acres, and multi-tenant office building. The Planning Commission, at its April 18, 2017 meeting, approved a Parking Plan to allow a shared parking arrangement between 2510 Pacific Coast Highway, 2420 Pacific Coast Page 148 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 7 Highway, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard, in conjunction with a Precise Development Plan to redevelop 2510 Pacific Coast Highway, Lazy Acres. The Planning Commission, at its April 17, 2018 meeting, continued a Parking Plan amendment to allow a shared parking arrangement between 2510 Pacific Coast Highway, 2420 Pacific Coast Highway, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard, in conjunction with a Precise Development Plan to redevelop 2420 and 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, Hope Chapel, to its May 15, 2018 meeting. At its May 15, 2018 meeting, the Planning Commission approved a Parking Plan amendment to allow a shared parking arrangement between 2420 Pacific Coast Highway, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard, in conjunction with a Precise Development Plan to redevelop Hope Chapel. On June 11, 2024, the applicant applied for a Parking Plan amendment for the Planning Commission’s consideration, to accommodate conversion of an existing 3,242-square- foot tenant space from a general office use to a medical office use. Medical office uses have a higher parking requirement than general office uses. Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions Meeting Date Description April 18, 2017 Planning Commission approves a shared parking arrangement (PARK16-7) between 2420 Pacific Coast highway, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard, in conjunction with a Precise Development Plan to allow the redevelopment of Lazy Acres. April 17, 2018 The Planning Commission continued the hearing for a Parking Plan amendment to allow a shared parking arrangement between 2510 Pacific Coast Highway, 2420 Pacific Coast Highway, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard to its May 15, 2018 meeting. May 15, 2018 Planning Commission approves a shared parking arrangement (PARK17-3) between 2420 Pacific Coast highway, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, and 950 Artesia Boulevard, in conjunction with a Precise Development Plan to allow the redevelopment of Hope Chapel. Site Information Table: The following table describes the existing site characteristics. Site Information General Plan Gateway Commercial (GC) Zoning General and Highway Commercial (C-3) Lot Size 27,275 square feet Page 149 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 7 Site Information Existing Square Footage 3,242 square feet (tenant space) 14,739 square feet (site wide) Surrounding Zoning North: City boundary East: C-2 South: R-3 West: C-3 Surrounding Uses North: Commercial East: Commercial South: Residential West: Commercial Project Description The project proposes to amend a Parking Plan previously approved on May 15, 2018 for shared parking (or common parking facilities), to allow for the conversion of a 3,242- square-foot tenant shell from a general office to medical office use. Based on the mix of uses the Parking Plan would continue to allow parking spaces to continue to be shared between 2510, 2420, and 2306 Pacific Coast Highway throughout the week. Discussion: Development Standards Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.44.030(E)(5) requires one (1) parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area, for general office uses. Further, HBMC Section 17.44.030(E)(7) requires one (1) parking space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area, for medical office uses. The 3,242-square-foot tenant space requires 13 parking spaces for general office use and 17 parking spaces for medical office use. Based on the specific uses and operating characteristics the original parking plan determined there would be a peak parking demand of 318 spaces on the weekday and 341 spaces on the weekend where 359 were provided. The parking plan approval was approved based on a specific set of uses and was conditioned to require the Planning Commission’s approval of a change of use not previously included. The Zoning Ordinance establishes a Parking Plan process for the purpose of allowing reductions in parking with the appropriate studies documenting adequate parking would be provided due to the specific characteristics of the development. Additionally, HBMC Section 17.44.060(A) provides the following general criteria for the Planning Commission’s considerations for shared parking arrangements (or Common Parking Facilities): 1. Whether the affected requirements are those of permanent buildings, or those of mere occupancies; Page 150 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 7 The project would accommodate a new use configuration onsite, that would require maintaining the shared parking arrangement. 2. The peak as well as normal days and hours of operation of such buildings and of the structures and occupancies with which it is proposed to share multiple-use parking areas; The applicant provided an addendum to the 2018 Parking Study, describing the changes in hour-by-hour parking need. Specifically, with a medical office tenant at 950 Artesia Boulevard, the total peak parking demand during the week would be 325 spaces and 357 spaces on Sundays where 358 parking spaces are available. 3. Whether the proposed multiple-use parking area is normally or frequently used by the patrons, customers or employees of other buildings or occupancies which will share such parking area at the same time as the applicant’s patrons, customers and employees will normally or frequently utilize such parking area; The project maintains the shared use of parking by both employees and customers. The Parking Study considers the parking demand by both employees and customers within its calculations and finds an adequate supply to allow a medical office tenant. 4. The certainty that the multiple-use parking area(s) will be available for satisfying such parking requirements to the extent approved, and the permanency of such availability; The project maintains the shared parking arrangement approved in 2018, with minor changes in use configuration. The applicant will be required to record a copy of the approved resolution describing the shared parking arrangement, as well as an affidavit of acceptance demonstrating the applicant acknowledges the entitlement in its entirety (See Condition #2). 5. The proximity and accessibility of the multiple-use parking area(s). The project proposes no change to site circulation or use of tandem parking. Additionally, the project will not change location of provided parking in relation to uses on all engaged sites or means of access. The Parking Study reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission at its May 15, 2018 meeting, provided an hour-by-hour analysis of parking demand generated by 2510, 2420, 2306 Pacific Coast Highway and 950 Artesia Boulevard. The study concluded, based on the mix of uses and unique operating standards across the three sites, that the parking for the building at 950 Artesia Boulevard could be provided at a rate of one (1) parking space for every 250 square feet, building-wide. Specifically, the 2018 study found the total number of spaces (358) provided by the lots altogether, could provide enough parking during for the peak demand of 325 spaces during the week, and 357 spaces on Sundays. Page 151 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7 Since the 2018 approval, 950 Artesia Boulevard underwent seismic retrofitting and comprehensive remodel approved as part of the precise Development Plan also approved in 2018. The redevelopment of the site resulted in one less parking space at 950 Artesia Boulevard than was initially planned. Additionally, unique assembly hall uses which intended to occupy tenant space at 950 Artesia Boulevard after redevelopment was complete, did not do so. The property owner instead proposes to convert one of the tenant spaces (950 Artesia Boulevard) to the medical office. The shared parking supply exceeds the peak demand by 33 parking spaces during the week and 1 parking space on Sundays. Condition of approval #3 identifies specific floor area and hours of operation for Hope Chapel (2420 and 2306 Pacific Coast Highway). Any change to church operations could result in the parking demand exceeding the onsite supply on Sundays. The applicant provided an addendum to the 2018 parking study (Attachment 3), for the proposed conversion of general office use to a medical office use. The updated analysis found that the shared parking arrangement would adequately meet the parking demand for the proposed medical office use. Further, the site retains a one (1) parking space buffer, after recalculating parking demand and municipal code requirements for all sites of the arrangement, where necessary. A total of 352 spaces will be provided where 351 spaces would be available based on the proposed conversion of office at the peak demand anticipated on Sunday. Staff proposes amending Condition #1 of PC 18-14 (Attachment 4) to accurately reflect the new floor area assignment per commercial use. Additionally, the condition includes language that would allow more flexibility for staff to allow minor modifications to include changes to use, if the proposed use requires parking less than or equal to the amount the Parking Plan is approved for. General Plan Consistency: This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below: General Plan Consistency Land Use Element Findings Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents. The property will continue to provide enough parking to accommodate the combination of uses onsite. Further, the shared parking arrangement provides enough shared parking during peak hours of operation, to ensure all parking will be onsite and no spillover into adjacent residential neighborhoods is expected. Policy 1.7 Compatibility of uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses. Goal 4. A variety of corridors throughout the city provide opportunities for shopping, recreation, commerce, employment and circulation. The Gateway Commercial General Plan area is intended to provide both commercial services as well as facilities that benefit the community. The proposed medical office Page 152 of 194 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 7 General Plan Consistency Policy 4.1 Shared parking. Facilitate park-once and shared parking policies among private developments that contribute to a shared parking supply and interconnect with adjacent parking facilities. use would offer a service in high demand in the area. Further, the subject site is within the Pacific Coast Highway Corridor, which seeks to provide multi-use activity nodes at the City’s entryways. The proposed use would diversify the type of uses onsite. Policy 4.3 Diverse range of uses. Allow a wide variety of uses to locate in Gateway Commercial nodes along corridors, including destination retail centers, lifestyle centers, hotels, and office employment, among other uses. Goal 13. Land uses patterns that improve the health of residents. The project proposes the modification of the uses permitted under a shared parking arrangement. Shared parking promotes efficient use of land, reduces traffic, and encourages walking. The use would serve to benefit the community and would provide an essential service that is in high demand in the area. Policy 13.2 Social and health needs. Support the continuation of existing and new uses that enhance the social and health needs of residents. Policy 13.4 Private health uses.

The Project consists of converting 3,264 SF of the existing total of 14,775 SF of general office uses to medical office for The Fix Wellness. The 950 Artesia Boulevard Building was previously evaluated by LLG (that parking study is dated May 3, 2018) as part of Hope Chapel site, which includes three primary components: 1. Hope Chapel 2. Lazy Acres Grocery Market 3. 950 Artesia Boulevard Building This letter updates our May 2018 parking study as follows: x Converts 3,264 SF of the 14,775 SF of existing general office space to medical office use (The Fix Wellness) in the 950 Artesia Building. x Reduces the parking supply for the 950 Artesia Building from 48 spaces to 47 spaces. x Applies the latest ULI Shared Parking methodology (now in its Third Edition), and anticipated operations for The Fix Wellness. By applying the above changes to the City Code calculations, the proposed conversion of 3,264 SF of existing general office space (13 spaces) to medical office (16 spaces) for The Fix Wellness would result in a net increase of 3 spaces beyond the current Code requirement of 44 spaces for the 950 Artesia Building. The total future requirement of 47 spaces is fully met by the existing 47-space supply. Page 162 of 194 Mr. Don Wolff June 27, 2024 Page 2 N:\4800\2244827 - 950 Artesia Bldg Hope Chapel, Hermosa Beach\4827 parking study revised 6-27-24.docx This study further concludes that, based on the updated ULI Shared Parking tables (see attached Tables 1 and 2), the total supply for the entire site of 358 spaces (comprised of 192 spaces for Hope Chapel, 119 spaces for Lazy Acres, and 47 spaces for the 950 Artesia Building) will be adequate in meeting the weekday/Friday and weekend/Sunday total peak parking demand of 325 spaces and 357 spaces, respectively. Tables 1 and 2 present the combined weekday (Friday) and weekend (Sunday) parking demand for the overall site based on the shared parking methodology. In addition to the Church, Lazy Acres, and the 950 Artesia Building, this study accounts for up to 40 spaces at Hope Chapel that the 2200 PCH office building may use from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Monday through Friday (not on Saturday or Sunday). The hourly time-of-day factors for the weekend for the medical office/The Fix Wellness are based on the anticipated operating hours and number of hourly appointments on a Sunday. Column (7) of Table 1 shows that the weekday (Friday) peak parking demand in the aggregate of 325 spaces is forecast to occur at 7:00 PM (215 spaces for Hope Chapel, 95 spaces for Lazy Acres, 4 spaces for 950 Artesia general office, 5 spaces for 950 Artesia medical office, and 6 spaces for 2200 PCH). Based on the on-site parking supply of 358 spaces, a surplus of 33 spaces is forecast (Column 9) during the Friday evening church service that starts at 6:30 PM. Column (7) of Table 2 shows that the weekend (Sunday) peak parking demand in the aggregate of 357 spaces is expected to occur at 1:00 PM (228 spaces for Hope Chapel, 119 spaces for Lazy Acres, 2 spaces for 950 Artesia general office, 8 spaces for 950 Artesia medical office, and no spaces for 2200 PCH). Based on the on-site parking supply of 358 spaces, a surplus of 1 space is forecast (Column 9) during the second Sunday morning church service that is from 11:00 AM to 1:15 PM. We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this parking study update. Please call us at 949.825.6175 if you have any questions or comments.

Future Church renovations called for in the Master Plan 2. City-approved re-occupancy of an existing building within property owned by Hope Chapel by Lazy Acres Grocery Market 3. Structural improvements to a commercial office building at 950 Artesia Boulevard Briefly, based on the findings of this report, it is concluded that the Church’s 192- space supply, Lazy Acres Grocery Market’s 119-space supply, and 48 off-site spaces in the 950 Artesia Boulevard building parking lot will be adequate to support the weekday and weekend total peak parking demand of 318 spaces and 341 spaces, respectively. This letter report updates our prior parking studies with square footage refinements related to the Church Master Plan renovations (Project Component 1). No changes have been made to the proposed Lazy Acres Grocery Market (Project Component 2), its parking supply allocations, and the sharing of parking spaces between the Market and the Church, as previously approved by the City. Although seismic retrofit and interior modifications/energy/cosmetic upgrades are planned for the 950 Artesia Boulevard building, there will be no changes to square footage, land use, and parking layout; therefore, this building is treated as a “standalone” facility for parking study purposes. In addition, this study accounts for up to 40 spaces at Hope Chapel that the 2200 Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) office building may use from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Monday through Friday (not on Saturday or Sunday). The following provides detailed descriptions of each component of the Project: Page 176 of 194 Mr. Robert Chamberlain May 3, 2018 Page 2 N:\3800\2173853 - Hope Chapel Update, Hermosa Beach\3853-parking study revised 5-3-18.docx Project Component 1: The existing Hope Chapel properties consist of a 34,750-SF main/church building (located at 2420 Pacific Coast Highway), and a 10,000-SF office building that houses Hope Chapel’s administrative offices (located at 2306 Pacific Coast Highway). Proposed renovations for Hope Chapel will add 26,145 SF to the main/church building, of which 349 SF corresponds to the net reduction of the main sanctuary. Project Component 2: The City has previously approved the re-occupancy of an existing building within property owned by Hope Chapel by Lazy Acres Grocery Market. The proposed Lazy Acres Grocery Market includes the renovation of 29,653 SF of vacant space within Hope Chapel property (formerly occupied by Albertsons supermarket, and most recently used by the Church as a teen center). Project Component 3: The Church also owns an existing 14,739-SF commercial office building at 950 Artesia Boulevard. This building is currently occupied by Brighton Escrow, UCode, and a realty office. The Church intends to undertake an earthquake retrofit and modernization of this building, with a change in land use from all general office to include partial assembly hall uses (ICAN and UCode) that generate less parking demand due to their unique operational characteristics. The footprint and square footage of the building will not be changed. The parking analysis estimates the future parking requirements for Hope Chapel and Lazy Acres based upon the application of City Code parking ratios, by considering Hope Chapel’s anticipated operations and church attendance after renovations have been completed, and the use of the Shared Parking methodology that takes into account a mixed-use development site’s physical setting. Compared to City Code parking calculations, a program/operations-based assessment and a shared parking demand analysis result in a more realistic representation of a mixed-use development’s parking needs. Our method of analysis, findings, and conclusions are described in detail in the following sections of this report. Table 1 presents the development summary for the project components. As shown, the future Church will be 70,895 SF, the City-approved Lazy Acres Grocery Market will be 29,653 SF, and the 14,739-SF commercial building at 950 Artesia Boulevard will remain the same. CHURCH OPERATIONS According to Hope Chapel representatives, anticipated attendance and operations are fairly representative of congregation numbers and activity levels in the past. This is validated by the fact that, despite the 26,145 SF of expansion proposed for the Hope Chapel main building, the main sanctuary (the primary space used to estimate busiest time periods and parking needs for churches) will be reduced in size by 349 SF.

Table 2 summarizes the City Code ratios applied and City Code parking calculations. As indicated in the green highlighted portions of Table 2, the City Code parking requirements for the Church sanctuary and administrative office total 699 spaces. Comparing this 699-space Code requirement against the Church supply of 192 spaces (comprised of 100 Hope Chapel-dedicated spaces and 92 shared parking spaces with Lazy Acres Grocery Market) results in a Code-based deficiency of 507 spaces. For clarity, the City Code-based calculations can be considered to result in very conservative estimates of Hope Chapel’s parking demand since it ignores the fact that the different components of a church operate at different times of day or on different days of the week, and that the Fellowship Hall, Children’s Church/Classrooms/Nursery, Youth Program Areas, Small Chapel, Rehearsal Room, Café, and Steward Areas do not generate additive parking demand (i.e., the users of these facilities do not drive and/or have already been represented in parking demand calculated for the main sanctuary and church classrooms). Page 179 of 194 Mr. Robert Chamberlain May 3, 2018 Page 5 N:\3800\2173853 - Hope Chapel Update, Hermosa Beach\3853-parking study revised 5-3-18.docx The blue highlighted sections of Table 2 indicate that the City Code parking requirement for Lazy Acres Grocery Market is 119 spaces. Comparing this 119- space Code requirement against the Market supply of 119 spaces (comprised of 66 Market-dedicated spaces and 53 shared parking spaces with the Church) shows that its City Code requirement of 119 spaces is fully met by its 119-space supply. These findings are consistent with the City’s prior approval for Lazy Acres. As indicated in the orange highlighted portions of Table 2, for the 950 Artesia Boulevard building, the City Code requirement established under existing entitlements is 44 spaces. Comparing this 44-space existing legal non-conforming requirement against the building’s supply of 48 spaces results in a Code-based surplus of 4 spaces. PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS Going beyond City Code parking calculations, the parking analysis for the Church also involves determining the expected parking needs from application of the shared parking methodology, which is based on parking usage patterns by time-of-day (recognizes that the parking demand for each land use component varies by time of day, day of week, and/or month of year). Shared Parking Methodology The concept of Shared Parking, which is widely recognized in the transportation planning industry, accounts for the fluctuations in parking demand over time for different types of land uses within a development. Due to the unique parking characteristics of the Project, opportunities for shared parking can be expected. The analytical procedures for Shared Parking Analyses are well documented in the Shared Parking, 2nd Edition publication by the Urban Land Institute (ULI). The hourly parking demand profiles (expressed in percent of peak demand) utilized in this study and applied to the Project are based on profiles developed by ULI. The ULI publication presents hourly parking demand profiles for retail uses and office uses. These factors present a profile of parking demand over time and have been used directly, by land use type, in the analysis of this project. For retail uses, peak demand occurs between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM on weekdays and between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM on weekends. The retail parking demand profile was applied to Lazy Acres and the church cafe. For office uses, peak demand occurs between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM on weekdays and weekends. The office parking demand profile was applied to the church administration offices, and church maintenance/storage. Page 180 of 194 Mr. Robert Chamberlain May 3, 2018 Page 6 N:\3800\2173853 - Hope Chapel Update, Hermosa Beach\3853-parking study revised 5-3-18.docx Hourly parking demand profiles for the remaining church uses (i.e. Main Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall, Children’s Church, Classrooms, etc.) are not provided in the ULI Shared Parking, 2nd Edition publication. As such, the parking demand for these uses was determined based on operational information provided by Hope Chapel. Shared Parking Analysis – Church Component Only Tables 3 and 4 present the weekday (Friday) and weekend (Sunday) parking demand for the Church components based on the Shared Parking methodology, and the application of City Code parking ratios to the various land use components of Hope Chapel. Columns (2) through (12) of these tables present the parking accumulation characteristics and parking demand of each component of Hope Chapel for the hours of 6:00 AM to midnight. Column (13) presents the shared parking demand for the church on an hourly basis, while Column (14) summarizes the hourly parking surplus/deficiency for the Church compared to an on-site parking supply of 192 spaces. In Table 3, Column (15) adds to the supply from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM/midnight the 48 spaces in the 950 Artesia Boulevard parking, which are made available to the Church lot after 6:00 PM on a Friday. In Table 4, Column (15) adds to the supply 45 available spaces in the 950 Artesia Boulevard parking lot on a Sunday. These 45 spaces are calculated from the 48-space supply less the UCode demand of 3 spaces (the building is closed on Sunday, with the the exception of UCode). Column (13) of Table 3 shows that the weekday (Friday) peak parking demand for the Church is forecast to occur at 7:00 PM with a peak demand of 137 spaces. Based on Hope Chapel’s on-site parking supply of 192 spaces, a surplus of 55 spaces is forecast (per Column 14). Surpluses would be greater when available parking spaces from 950 Artesia Boulevard are accounted for; 103 spaces, specifically, as presented in Column (15). Column (13) of Table 4 indicates that the weekend (Sunday) peak parking demand for the Church is forecast to occur at 12:00 PM/noon with a peak demand of 134 spaces. Based on Hope Chapel’s on-site parking supply of 192 spaces, a surplus of 58 spaces is forecast (per Column 14). Surpluses would be greater when available parking spaces from 950 Artesia Boulevard are accounted for; 103 spaces, specifically, as presented in Column (15). Based on the above findings, it is concluded that the Church’s on-site supply will be adequate to support the weekday and weekend peak parking demand. In addition, parking contingencies are provided by off-site parking spaces in 950 Artesia Boulevard. Page 181 of 194 Mr. Robert Chamberlain May 3, 2018 Page 7 N:\3800\2173853 - Hope Chapel Update, Hermosa Beach\3853-parking study revised 5-3-18.docx Operations-Based Parking Analysis – Church Component Only Table 5 presents a detailed summary of future operations for Hope Chapel, anticipated attendance for church worship services, Ministry Classes, Children’s Church, Youth Program, number of employees, and schedule of activities. Based on the operational information provided by Hope Chapel, it was determined that the primary facilities that would generate parking demand are the main sanctuary (where Church congregation services and Women’s Bible Study are held), Church classrooms (where Ministry classes are held), and Church employee areas (to include the main building, and Church administration building). It should also be noted that the main sanctuary will not be used concurrently with the Church classrooms. The Fellowship Hall, Children’s Classrooms, Youth Program areas, Small Chapel, Rehearsal Room, Café, and office/Steward Areas, plus all ancillary uses/common areas, do not generate additive parking demand, because the users of these facilities do not drive and/or have already been represented in parking demand calculated for the main sanctuary and Church classrooms. Table 5 converts the number of persons (based on expected attendance by Hope Chapel) into the number of spaces for each 30-minute interval (by also using the anticipated schedule of activities per day of the week, as reported by Hope Chapel staff) based on the following conservative assumptions:  One adult per vehicle for Ministry Classes, Women’s Bible Study, and all church employees  Two adults per vehicle for all church worship services in the main sanctuary As indicated on the bottom portion of Table 5, the Church operations-based assessment results in a peak weekday (Friday, specifically) demand of 215 spaces, and a peak weekend (Sunday, specifically) demand of 228 spaces. It should be noted that these demand estimates are greater than the peak values reported previously on Tables 3 and 4 (137 spaces and 134 spaces, respectively). Based on the above comparisons, it is concluded that the Church’s operations-based, peak demand estimates of 215 spaces for weekday/Friday and 228 spaces for weekend/Sunday would provide the most conservative basis for the “combined” shared parking analysis of all three Project components (Church, Lazy Acres, 950 Artesia Boulevard), as presented in the next section. Combined Shared Parking Analysis – Church, Lazy Acres, 950 Artesia Blvd., and 2200 PCH Tables 6 and 7 present the combined weekday (Friday) and weekend (Sunday) parking demand for the overall Hope Chapel Project based on the shared parking Page 182 of 194 Mr. Robert Chamberlain May 3, 2018 Page 8 N:\3800\2173853 - Hope Chapel Update, Hermosa Beach\3853-parking study revised 5-3-18.docx methodology. As indicated previously, in addition to the Church, Lazy Acres, and the 950 Artesia Boulevard commercial building, this study accounts for up to 40 spaces at Hope Chapel that the 2200 PCH office building may use from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Monday through Friday (not on Saturday or Sunday). Columns (2) through (5) of Tables 6 and 7 present the total parking demand of Hope Chapel (i.e., operations-based hourly demand, as derived from Table 5), Lazy Acres (i.e., demand estimated through ULI’s Shared Parking methodology and City Code ratio for retail), the commercial building at 950 Artesia Boulevard, and the office building at 2200 PCH, respectively, for the hours of 6:00 AM to midnight. Column (6) presents the total shared parking demand on an hourly basis, while Columns (7) and (8) summarize the total parking supply and resulting parking surplus or deficiency. Column (6) of Table 6 shows that the weekday (Friday) peak parking demand in the aggregate of 318 spaces is forecast to occur at 7:00 PM (215 spaces for Hope Chapel, 103 spaces for Lazy Acres, and no demand for 950 Artesia Boulevard and 2200 PCH). Based on the on-site parking supply of 359 spaces, a surplus of 41 spaces is forecast (Column 8) during the Friday evening church service that starts at 6:30 PM. Column (6) of Table 7 shows that the weekend (Sunday) peak parking demand in the aggregate of 341 spaces is expected to occur at 1:00 PM (228 spaces for Hope Chapel, 110 spaces for Lazy Acres, 3 spaces for UCode at 950 Artesia Boulevard, and no demand for 2200 PCH). Based on the on-site parking supply of 359 spaces, a surplus of 18 spaces is forecast (Column 8) during the second Sunday morning church service that is from 11:00 AM to 1:15 PM. Given the above shared parking analysis results, it is concluded that the Church’s 192-space supply, Lazy Acres Grocery Market’s 119-space supply, and 48 off-site spaces in the 950 Artesia Boulevard building parking lot will be adequate to support the weekday total peak demand of 318 spaces (including weekday demand for 2200 PCH from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM), and weekend total peak demand of 341 spaces. We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this parking analysis. Please call me at 949.825.6175 if you have any questions or comments.
