Applicant/Owner:1429 Hermosa LLC 717 Yarmouth Road Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution, approving the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Parking Plan amendment request to provide on-site sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol indoors only within the hotel lounge for registered guests only, 7 days a week 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel (H2O Hermosa) and to allow charging a fee for on-site parking located at 1429 Hermosa Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: ZONING:C-2 Restricted Commercial GENERAL PLAN:CR Commercial Recreation EXISTING/PROPOSED USE (S):Hotel with on-site sale, service and consumption of general alcohol indoors LOT AREA:11,516 (no change) BUILDING AREA:30,250 sq. ft.(no change) HOTEL ROOMS:30 Guest Rooms (no change) COMMON AREAS:2,950 sq. ft. (no change PARKING:37 spaces (no change) HOURS OF OPERATION EXISTING/PROPOSED:Hotel hours: 24/7(no change) 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM daily (Sale/service/consumption of general alcohol) City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 13 powered by Legistar™16 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 ALCOHOL LICENSE EXISTING/PROPOSED:Type 66 and 70 (existing/proposed) ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt; Section 15301 Class 1- Existing Facilities The property is zoned Restricted Commercial (C-2) and is located in the northern end of the downtown area of the City on the southwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and 15th street. Surrounding zoning consists of C-2 and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) properties to the north and, south of the subject site. Properties to the east and west of the subject site are zoned R-3. Some residential uses on the south side of 15th Court, zoned C-2, are legal nonconforming. The subject site is currently occupied by an existing hotel use with 30 guest rooms and common areas. The ground level consists of a parking garage with 37 parking spaces, the front desk and lobby, a commercial kitchen, a food service area for the hotels continental breakfast service for use by hotel guests only, and a lounge adjacent to the food service area south of the front desk/lobby area with a total of 34 seats. The second level consists of 15 hotel rooms, restroom, and multi- function room of approximately 336 square feet that can be used for activities for hotel guests only. The third level consists of 15 hotel rooms, fitness room, and an open-air patio/spa/sitting room of approximately 600 square feet at the northeast corner of the building that can be used by hotel guests only. The project was originally approved in 2013 by the Planning Commission and on appeal by the City Council with some revisions incorporated, however, the entitlements expired before completion of the project, and in 2015 the applicant reapplied for the same entitlements for an almost identical project, proposing only minor changes. On October 20, 2015 the Planning Commission approved a Precise Development Plan to allow a 30,250 square foot hotel with 30 guest rooms and common areas on an underdeveloped 11,516 square foot lot; a Conditional Use Permit to allow on-sale general alcohol for hotel guests in guest rooms restricted to mini-bars; and a Parking Plan to allow a valet program with 37 spaces provided on the ground level of the hotel, 24 of which were provided in tandem, 9 of which were standard orientation spaces and 4 spaces for queuing in the drive aisle. The hotel operates pursuant to PC Resolution 15-25 (resolution attached). As a part of the Parking Plan, the original project approval was conditioned to provide a parking management plan (to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director) for the proposed Parking Plan. Key components of the approved parking management plan include: employee parking permits for on-site parking offered to employees free of charge, 24-hour per day onsite circulation and parking, details of the 24-hour valet parking operations, and reference to the no charge for on-site parking requirement. The proposal for the Parking Plan amendment removes the “no charge for parking” requirement from the parking management plan; and provides additional information regarding the proposed parking fee; all other parts of the approved parking management plan remain unchanged. A redlined version of the City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 13 powered by Legistar™17 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 approved parking plan is provided as an attachment. Permits were issued for the project on February 25, 2016, and while the project received final approvals, the existing hotel is operating with a temporary certificate of occupancy. The existing hotel began operation in October 2020. However, due to the pandemic, the hotel was temporarily closed at times. The Building Division can final the project once screening for the roof equipment is installed. The applicant confirmed that the screening materials have been ordered and will be installed within the next couple of weeks once the materials have been delivered. Analysis: The applicant requests a new CUP to provide on-site sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol indoors only within the hotel lounge for registered guests only, 7 days a week 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel (H2O Hermosa). The request will not include any changes to the existing hotel floor plans, and the proposed on-sale, service and consumption of general alcohol will be provided indoors only on the ground-level lounge, south of the front lobby desk with 32 existing seats, in conjunction with the existing on-sale general alcohol for hotel s within mini-bars located in guest rooms. The applicant is also requesting to allow charging a fee for on-site parking. A Parking Plan Amendment is required to modify Planning Commission Resolution 15-25 Condition of Approval No. 12d which currently prohibits charging a fee for on-site parking. CUP Criteria, Conditions and Standards: Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.26.030 allows the sale, service and consumption of alcohol on-site with approval of a Conditional Use Permit in the C-2 zone. HBMC Section 17.40.020 establishes the criteria, conditions and standards for reviewing; granting and amending CUPs in order to reduce the potential for adverse secondary land use impacts. In considering the granting of any CUP for any use, the following criteria for granting said permit shall be considered: 17.40.020 General criteria for all uses A.Distance from existing residential uses: The existing hotel is located at the northern end of the downtown area at the intersection of Hermosa Avenue and 15th Street major commercial intersection, Artesia Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway with high density residential located on the east of Hermosa Avenue and commercial uses located directly adjacent to the subject site. A 16-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west while a 12-unit multiple family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the southeast. Additional single-family and multiple-family residences line the east side of Hermosa Avenue east of the subject property as well as along 15th Street Place, west of the subject property. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 13 powered by Legistar™18 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 The proposed general alcohol for on-site consumption would include service in the existing indoor lounge, south of the front desk/lobby area, restricted to hotel guests only and would be an addition to the existing mini-bars for hotel guests within guest rooms. The existing hotel offers a continental breakfast service in the lounge, however no other food service food service will not be provided in the lounge with the exemption of bagged snacks, such as nuts, chips, and non-alcoholic beverages. The existing conditions of approval set forth in PC Resolution 15-25 will remain in full force and effect (with exception of Condition 12 d for the parking fee) in addition to the new conditions of approval amended to the resolution. In addition, general alcohol sales, service and consumption indoors would be limited to the hours of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM 7 days a week, which, in addition to project conditions, would reduce potential impacts to insignificant levels. B.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements, as there are 37 on-site spaces. The existing site is also subject to the approved Parking Plan, which includes conditions of approval to ensure proper use of the valet parking system. The Parking Plan amendment would only revise condition subsection d of Condition 12. Conditions of approval such as “hotel guest, visitors, employees and service providers shall be directed to utilize the 15th Street project driveway to access the site and directional signage shall be provided to this effect. Valet service shall not be provided to assist guest arrival and loading/unloading from the public right-of-way. Signage shall direct guests to pull into the garage for arrival and loading/unloading,” would remain. The existing hotel is also subject to an existing parking management plan approved by the Community Development Director that includes details of the parking system. The approved parking management plan would be revised only to allow for a $20 per night parking fee. The addition of general alcohol sale, service and consumption for hotel guests within the indoor lounge is restricted to hotel guests and would thus only service those already staying at the hotel and would therefore not increase parking demand. C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The proposed project involves no alterations to the existing building and is limited to providing alcoholic beverage sale, service and consumption available to guests of the hotel only. The nearest church is located to the east of Hermosa Avenue approximately 330 feet from the subject site (First Church of Christ Scientist) and the nearest school is east of the site on Valley Drive (Hermosa Valley School). These uses are generally daytime uses while food and alcohol service activity typically peaks during the evening hours. No impacts to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds are anticipated. D.The combination of uses proposed: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 13 powered by Legistar™19 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 The existing primary use is a hotel with onsite facilities for use by hotel guests only and onsite sale and service of general alcohol offered in guest room via mini-bars. The proposed sales, service, and consumption of general alcohol indoors would be offered in the existing hotel lounge to hotel guests only 7 days a week 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Due to the proposed hours and service to hotel guests only, the proposed onsite sale, service and consumption of general alcohol is not anticipated to have adverse impacts for the combination of uses. Conditions of approval have been added to the resolution to ensure any impacts will be mitigated. E.The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: The downtown area is home to two other hotels (Grandview Inn and Beach House Inn), a motel (Sea Sprite Motel) and a hostel (Surf City Hostel). Additional hotels in the City are located on Pacific Coast Highway (Hampton Inn and Suites and Hotel Hermosa), and on Aviation Boulevard (Quality Inn). The provision to expand the onsite sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol to the hotel lounge for hotel guests only would be ancillary to the primary hotel use. A similar use in the downtown area can be found at the Beach House Inn. The Beach House Inn was granted a CUP for on-sale general alcohol sales in 2001, which is limited to the use of in-room mini-bars and private banquet rooms used only by hotel guests. Since both the subject business and the Beach House Inn offer alcohol service exclusively to their hotel guests, over-concentration of similar businesses is not anticipated. F.Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In order to prevent potential negative impacts on surrounding properties, hours for the existing hotel facilities such are the multi-functional room and the pool/spa have been limited to 10:00 P.M. The applicant proposes to also limit hours of the onsite sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol within the hotel lounge from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. The proposed sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol are limited to registered guests only. Since the existing lounge is located beyond the front desk/lobby area, hotel front desk and bar staff can easily witness those entering the lounge and will have the ability to confirm that only registered guests are utilizing the on-site alcohol service. Security cameras also currently monitor the front desk and lobby area for additional security. The applicant has also provided their employee alcohol-training handbook, which includes information for guest verification in regard to the alcohol service (attached). Bar staff can verify the names of the registered hotel guests through the hotel’s POS system (POS stands for Point of Sales is a computer system which allows business owners to track sales, cash flow etc.). Finally, in 2020, the Planning Commission approved on-site sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine indoor only at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa). Due to concerns from the public and the City’s Police Department, conditions of approval were added to the resolution to mitigate potential City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 13 powered by Legistar™20 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 impacts. The same conditions of approval that were identified by the City’s Police Department to lower negative impacts for Hotel Hermosa are included in the conditions of approval for the proposal. G.The relationship of proposed business-generated traffic volume and size of streets serving the area: The request for sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol within the indoor lounge for hotel guests only is not anticipated to generate additional traffic to the site. As such, no impacts are anticipated. H.The proposed exterior signs and décor, and compatibility with existing establishments in the area: The proposed project does not include exterior signs or décor. No impacts are anticipated. I.Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The original approval for the existing hotel included conditions of approval to limit the hours of operations of the proposed amenities, such as the food service area, the multi-functional room at the second floor level and the pool/spa area to 10:00 P.M. daily, in order to reduce potential noise impacts generated by the proposed use. The proposed sale, service and consumption of general alcohol in the lounge area will be subject to the same hours of operations as the existing hotel amenities. The City’s Code Enforcement Division confirmed that since the operation of the existing hotel, there have been no noise complaints/issues for the hotel guest areas. The only complaint that was received was concerning the exterior lighting, which was quickly resolved by hotel management. Additionally, the hotel with proposed general alcohol sale, service and consumption limited to no later than 10:00 PM 7 days a week, is not considered a late-night alcohol beverage establishment and will not contribute to adverse impacts commonly associated with late-night alcohol establishments. Therefore, the subject request is not subject to the limitations contained within HBMC Section 17.40.080. The additional conditions of approval are anticipated to reduce the likelihood of noise impacts to neighboring uses. J.Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: Impacts to police services have been an issue with some late night alcohol serving facilities clustered in the downtown area. However, given the proposal is not a late night establishment and the prevision only includes on-site sale, service and consumption of general alcohol indoors for hotel guests only, the request is not anticipated to impact City services. Though the proposed use is not anticipated to create adverse affects to the City’s infrastructure and/or services several measures have been taken through the conditions of approval to mitigate any potential impacts. The City is committed to ensuring that hotel establishments are closely monitored and the existing City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 6 of 13 powered by Legistar™21 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 hotel use is conditioned such that “Should the Police Chief determine that a continuing police problem exists, he/she may, subject to appeal to the Planning Commission, direct the presence of a police approved security personnel to eliminate the problem. An appeal to the Planning Commission shall be heard within sixty (60) days of filing the appeal. The Police Chief’s determination will not be stayed during the pendency of the appeal. If the problem persists, the Police Chief then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of the conditional use permit,” (CUP Condition 19). In addition, “The Planning Commission may review this Conditional Use Permit or Precise Development Plan or Parking Plan and may amend the subject conditions or impose any new conditions if deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental effects on the neighborhood resulting from the subject use.” (CUP Condition 30). Finally, in 2020, condition of approvals that were identified by the City’s Police Department for the CUP Amendment for Hotel Hermosa to mitigate potential services impacts from the proposed onsite sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine at an existing hotel are also applicable here. Thus, the following conditions have been added to the conditions of approval: 11. The establishment shall have security personnel on-duty during the hours of alcohol sales, service and consumption at the owner/operator’s expense. In addition to other security duties at the hotel property, the security personnel shall be responsible for monitoring the dining and alcohol service area to address any loud, boisterous or unruly behavior. If the security personnel are not able to reduce or eliminate incidents and problems at the hotel property, the Chief of Police may direct the establishment to hire additional security personnel, at the owner/operators expense, who will have the sole responsibility of monitoring the dining and alcohol service area within the hotel property. If the problem persists, the Chief of Police shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan by the Planning Commission. If the establishment can demonstrate that security personnel is no longer necessary to the satisfaction of the Police Chief due to a reduced impact to the City’s services, such as, but not limited to a reduction in the number and severity of Calls for Service (CFS) directly attributed to the hotel property over a twelve month period the Police Chief may modify the requirement for security personnel. If there is no longer a necessity for security personnel, then the requirement to have security personnel shall be annulled upon notification from the Police Chief to the Community Development Director and the applicant. Any other change to the requirement to have security personnel shall require an amendment to this CUP following a public hearing before the Planning Commission. 12. The establishment shall install and maintain a video surveillance system in the ground-level lounge alcohol service area, where alcohol will be consumed. The video surveillance system shall have a retention period of at least thirty (30) days. The establishment agrees to cooperate with the City’s Code Enforcement and Police Department to provide copies of video surveillance for criminal or administrative investigations. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 7 of 13 powered by Legistar™22 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 13. The establishment will arrange a meeting with the Police Chief on an annual basis to review the impact of the CUP. During the annual meeting, the Police Department will review the number and severity of the Calls for Service (CFS) directly attributable to the hotel property for the previous twelve months. If there are any increases in the number and severity of CFS directly attributable to the hotel property, the establishment will provide the Police Chief with a plan to reduce the impacts within thirty (30) days of the meeting. K.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 are identified. Parking Plan Resolution Modifications The existing Parking Plan (Park 15-7) was approved to allow a valet parking program and tandem parking with 37 spaces provided on the ground level of the hotel (24 of which are provided in tandem, 9 non-tandem spaces and 4 spaces in the drive aisle for queuing). An amendment to the Parking Plan approved in 2015 (PC Resolution 15-25) is required to remove the existing conditions of approval as shown below. d) No charge shall be made for onsite parking at any time. As noted in the analysis for the Conditional Use Permit amendment above, the existing site is subject to the approved Parking Plan, which includes conditions of approval to ensure proper use of the valet parking system. Conditions of approval that ensure the proper use of the valet system will not be affected by the applicant’s request. Conditions of approval such as “hotel guest, visitors, employees and service providers shall be directed to utilize the 15th Street project driveway to access the site and directional signage shall be provided to this effect. Valet service shall not be provided to assist guest arrival and loading/unloading from the public right-of-way. Signage shall direct guests to pull into the garage for arrival and loading/unloading,” will remain. Additionally, the approved parking management plan will only be revised to allow for the proposed parking charge. The applicant is requesting the Parking Plan Amendment to modify Condition 12 to remove sub- condition 12d, in order to allow a parking fee of $20 per night. The request to allow the charge of parking would permit the applicant to offer competitive room rates when it comes to marketing and increase their ability to have a sustainably high occupancy rate. The existing project was conditioned to prohibit the charge of on-site parking in order to address concerns of creating spillover-parking impacts into the surrounding neighborhoods. However, the provision to allow for a parking fee of $20 per night is not anticipated to generate adverse impacts to City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 8 of 13 powered by Legistar™23 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 neighboring businesses or residents. The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements, as there are 37 on-site spaces for the 30-room hotel. The addition of general sale, service and consumption for hotel guests only within the existing lounge would not change the existing hotel use and will provide incidental alcohol service to those already staying at the hotel and would therefore not increase parking demand. Charging a parking fee is a common practice for hotels. Similar boutique hotels in the South Bay also charge for valet parking. The parking fee of $20 per night is comparable to other hotel parking fees in the area. See the chart below of hotel parking fees for similar hotels in the South Bay: Beach House Hotel (Hermosa Beach)$25 The Shade Hotel (Redondo Beach)$26 The Shade Hotel (Manhattan Beach)$30 Portofino Hotel (Redondo Beach)$28 Since the parking fee is comparable, and even more affordable then other hotel parking fees in the area, the provision to allow for a parking fee of $20 per night is not anticipated to generate adverse impacts to neighboring businesses or residents. Additionally, the parking fee is comparable with parking fees in the surrounding area. Metered and pay-by-space parking in the downtown area is available for $1.25 per hour (daily 2AM to 8PM) to $1.50 per hour (daily 8PM to 2AM). Thus, hotel guests would have to pay between $22.50 and $27.00 per night for on-street metered parking. On street parking for hotel guests in neighboring residential neighborhoods is prohibited. Residential areas surrounding the subject site have been identified as “Impacted Parking Areas”. Overnight parking within impacted parking areas require residential parking permits purchased through the City’s Finance Cashier’s Office. Thus, both the hotel operators would encourage hotel guests and market conditions to pay the overnight parking fee and park their vehicles on-site. Charging a small parking fee of $20 per night would not impact surrounding areas and could additionally encourage alternative forms of transportation such as ride share services, taxis, carpooling, or bus service, which is preferred in the downtown district and consistent with sustainability and mobility goals of the City. The existing hotel has two 7-bike on-site bicycle racks located on northwest side of the building, facing 15th Street, which is consistent with the 2015 approved plans. Parking Plan Resolution- Page 10, Modified Conditions 12 d) No charge shall be made for onsite parking at any time CUP Resolution Modified/Added Conditions The CUP resolution now includes modification to conditions of approval 13 while adding new City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 9 of 13 powered by Legistar™24 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 conditions 14,13, 15, 16, and 17 (and renumbering remaining conditions accordingly), to reduce impacts to neighboring properties as well as other motel guests.

The provision of alcoholic beverages is restricted to mini-bars in guest rooms and the hotel lounge indoors between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. 14. The provision of alcoholic beverages shall comply with the following: CUP a.The hotel manager and anyone involved in the sale/service of beer and wine shall attend and pass a responsible beverage service training provider program to educate hotel management and servers of alcohol responsibility and California laws in order to serve alcoholic beverages safely, responsibly, and legally, and to prevent illicit drug activity. b.Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. c.Food and beverage service shall be available only for hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. d.The hotel shall only provide alcoholic beverage services to verified registered guests of the hotel. e.All alcoholic beverages shall be served in non-disposable drink ware. f.Signs shall be posted in a conspicuous location warning patrons of the illegality of removing alcoholic beverages from the hotel property, and carrying and consuming alcoholic beverages in any public place such as the public sidewalk. g.Any substantial deviation, changes to the floor plan, site plan or building exterior, which alters or intensifies the alcoholic beverages service shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. 15. The establishment shall have security personnel on-duty during the hours of alcohol sales, service and consumption at the owner/operator’s expense. In addition to other security duties at the hotel property, the security personnel shall be responsible for monitoring the dining and alcohol service area to address any loud, boisterous or unruly behavior. If the security personnel are not able to reduce or eliminate incidents and problems at the hotel property, the Chief of Police may direct the establishment to hire additional security personnel, at the owner/operators expense, who will have the sole responsibility of monitoring the dining and alcohol service area within the hotel property. If the problem persists, the Chief of Police shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan by the Planning Commission. If the establishment can demonstrate that security personnel is no longer necessary to the satisfaction of the Police Chief due to a reduced impact to the City’s City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 10 of 13 powered by Legistar™25 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 services, such as, but not limited to a reduction in the number and severity of Calls for Service (CFS) directly attributed to the hotel property over a twelve month period the Police Chief may modify the requirement for security personnel. If there is no longer a necessity for security personnel, then the requirement to have security personnel shall be annulled upon notification from the Police Chief to the Community Development Director and the applicant. Any other change to the requirement to have security personnel shall require an amendment to this CUP following a public hearing before the Planning Commission. 16. The establishment shall install and maintain a video surveillance system in the ground- level lounge alcohol service area, where alcohol will be consumed. The video surveillance system shall have a retention period of at least thirty (30) days. The establishment agrees to cooperate with the City’s Code Enforcement and Police Department to provide copies of video surveillance for criminal or administrative investigations. 17. The establishment will arrange a meeting with the Police Chief on an annual basis to review the impact of the CUP. During the annual meeting, the Police Department will review the number and severity of the Calls for Service (CFS) directly attributable to the hotel property for the previous twelve months. If there are any increases in the number and severity of CFS directly attributable to the hotel property, the establishment will provide the Police Chief with a plan to reduce the impacts within thirty (30) days of the meeting. Attached is the draft amended approval resolution for consideration. Environmental Determination: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section, Class 1 Exemption of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 1 exemptions include modifications to existing structures that involve negligible or no expansion of an existing use. The proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of general alcohol in conjunction involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply; nor will 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 resource within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. General Plan Consistency: The establishment is located within the Recreational Commercial (RC) General Plan land use area and the downtown character area. The Recreational Commercial designation is located in the downtown area south of Hermosa Avenue, offering costal-related uses and visitor accommodations. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 11 of 13 powered by Legistar™26 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 “Restaurants, snack shops, entertainment, lodging, retail, beach rentals and other similar uses are prioritized within this designation and allows on ground or upper floor. Office and personal service uses are allowed within this designation, provided they are located on upper floors.” The Recreational Commercial designation plays a role in providing services and amenities to both visitors and residents. “Adjacency to the beach gives this designation the unique opportunity to provide a shopping and dining experience that attracts residents and visitors alike, capturing a large portion of the City’s economic activity generated by visitors. (PLAN Hermosa pg. 76). This project has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Goals and Policies are listed below: ·Land Use Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents. Policies: 1.1 Diverse and distributed land use pattern. Strive to maintain the fundamental pattern of existing land uses, preserving residential neighborhoods, while providing for enhancement of corridors and districts in order to improve community activity and identity. 1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs.Ensure land uses and businesses provide for the needs of residents as well as visitors. 1.7 Compatibility of uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses. ·Land Use Goal 4. A variety of corridors throughout the city provide opportunities for shopping, recreation, commerce, employment and circulation. Policy: 4.8 Neighborhood buffer. Encourage all commercial property owners bordering residential areas to mitigate impacts and use appropriate landscaping and buffering of residential neighborhoods. ·Mobility Goal 4. A parking system that meets the parking 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. ·Sustainability and Conservation Goal 3. Improved air quality and reduced air pollution emissions. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 12 of 13 powered by Legistar™27 Staff Report REPORT 21-0166 Policy: 3.2 Mobile source reductions. Support land use and transportation strategies to reduce emissions, including pollution from commercial and passenger vehicles. The existing hotel with proposed on-site sale, service and consumption of general alcohol indoors within the hotel lounge for hotel guests only is a resident and visitor serving accommodation which would be buffered from neighboring residential uses and is an appropriate use within the Recreational Commercial and Downtown Character Area. Additionally, the proposed parking fee for on-site parking promotes the City’s goals of reducing air pollution by encouraging alternative modes of transportation while still providing on-site parking at an affordable rate compared to market conditions. Summary: The project, as conditioned, is consistent with the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and PLAN Hermosa and the new conditions of approval, as recommended from the City’s Police Department, are anticipated to help reduce concerns from surrounding residents. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached amended resolution approving, Conditional Use Permit 20-8 and Parking Plan 20-5 amendment request to provide on-site sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol indoors only within the hotel lounge for registered guests only, 7 days a week 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel (H2O Hermosa) and to allow charging a fee for on-site parking located at 1429 Hermosa Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

TO 10:00 P.M. AT AN EXISTING HOTEL (H2O HERMOSA), ALLOWING THE CHARGING OF A FEE FOR ON-SITE PARKING LOCATED AT 1429 HERMOSA AVENUE, AND READOPTING ALL THE OTHER CONDITIONS IN RESOLUTION NO. 15-25 AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). Section 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 15-25 on October 20, 2015 to approve a Precise Development Plan (PDP15-11) to allow a 30,250 square foot hotel with 30 guest rooms and common areas on an undeveloped 11,516 square foot lot; Conditional Use Permit (CUP15-10) to allow on-sale general alcohol for hotel guests in guest rooms restricted to mini-bars; and a Parking Plan (PARK 15-7) to allow a valet program and parking in tandem for a property located at 1429 Hermosa Avenue. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for the Conditional Use Permit 20-8 and Parking Plan 20-5 amendment on March 16, 2021, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section, Class 1 Exemption of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 1 exemptions include modifications to existing structures that involve negligible or no expansion of an existing use. The proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of general alcohol in conjunction involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply; nor will 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 resource within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Section 4. An application was filed 1429 Hermosa LLC seeking approval for a Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan Amendment to CUP 20-8 & PARK 20-5- Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment request to provide on-site sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol indoors only within the hotel lounge for registered guest only, 7 days a week 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel (H2O Hermosa) and to allow charging a fee for on-site parking located at 1429 Hermosa Avenue. Section 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for a Conditional Use Permit amendment pursuant to H.B.M.C. Section 17.40.020: A. Distance from existing residential uses: 29 2 The existing hotel is located at the northern end of the downtown area at the intersection of Hermosa Avenue and 15th Street major commercial intersection, Artesia Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway with high density residential located on the east of Hermosa Avenue and commercial uses located directly adjacent to the subject site. A 16-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west while a 12-unit multiple family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the southeast. Additional single-family and multiple-family residences line the east side of Hermosa Avenue east of the subject property as well as along 15th Street Place, west of the subject property. The proposed general alcohol for on-site consumption would include service in the existing indoor lounge, south of the front desk/lobby area, restricted to hotel guests only and would be an addition to the existing mini-bars for hotel guests within guest rooms. The existing hotel offers a continental breakfast service in the lounge, however no other food service food service will not be provided in the lounge with the exemption of bagged snacks, such as nuts, chips, and non-alcoholic beverages. The existing conditions of approval set forth in PC Resolution 15-25 will remain in full force and effect (with exception of Condition 12 d for the parking fee) in addition to the new conditions of approval included in this resolution. In addition, general alcohol sales, service and consumption indoors would be limited to the hours of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM 7 days a week, which, in addition to project conditions, would reduce potential impacts to insignificant levels. B. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements, as there are 37 on-site spaces. The existing site is also subject to the approved Parking Plan, which includes conditions of approval to ensure proper use of the valet parking system. The Parking Plan amendment would only revise condition subsection d of Condition 12. Conditions of approval such as “hotel guest, visitors, employees and service providers shall be directed to utilize the 15th Street project driveway to access the site and directional signage shall be provided to this effect. Valet service shall not be provided to assist guest arrival and loading/unloading from the pubic right-of-way. Signage shall direct guests to pull into the garage for arrival and loading/unloading,” would remain. The existing hotel is also subject to an existing parking management plan approved by the Community Development Director that includes details of the parking system. The approved parking management plan would be revised only to allow for a $20 per night parking fee. The addition of general alcohol sale, service and consumption for hotel guests within the indoor lounge is restricted to hotel guests and would thus only service those already staying at the hotel and would therefore not increase parking demand. C. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The proposed project involves no alterations to the existing building and is limited to providing alcoholic beverage sale, service and consumption available to guests of the hotel only. The nearest church is located to the east of Hermosa Avenue approximately 330 feet from the subject site (First Church of Christ Scientist) and the nearest school is east of the site on Valley Drive (Hermosa Valley School). These uses are generally daytime uses while food and alcohol service activity typically peaks during the evening hours. No impacts to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds are anticipated. D. The combination of uses proposed: The existing primary use is a hotel with onsite facilities for use by hotel guests only and onsite sale and service of general alcohol offered in guest room via mini-bars. The proposed sales, service, and 30 3 consumption of general alcohol indoors would be offered in the existing hotel lounge to hotel guests only 7 days a week 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Due to the proposed hours and service to hotel guests only, the proposed onsite sale, service and consumption of general alcohol is not anticipated to have adverse impacts for the combination of uses. Conditions of approval have been added to the resolution to ensure any impacts will be mitigated. E. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: The downtown area is home to two other hotels (Grandview Inn and Beach House Inn), a motel (Sea Sprite Motel) and a hostel (Surf City Hostel). Additional hotels in the City are located on Pacific Coast Highway (Hampton Inn and Suites and Hotel Hermosa), and on Aviation Boulevard (Quality Inn). The provision to expand the onsite sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol to the hotel lounge for hotel guests only would be ancillary to the primary hotel use. A similar use in the downtown area can be found at the Beach House Inn. The Beach House Inn was granted a CUP for on-sale general alcohol sales in 2001, which is limited to the use of in-room mini-bars and private banquet rooms used only by hotel guests. Since both the subject business and the Beach House Inn offer alcohol service exclusively to their hotel guests, over-concentration of similar businesses is not anticipated. F. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In order to prevent potential negative impacts on surrounding properties, hours for the existing hotel facilities such are the multi-functional room and the pool/spa have been limited to 10:00 P.M. The applicant proposes to also limit hours of the onsite sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol within the hotel lounge from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. The proposed sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol are limited to registered guests only. Since the existing lounge is located beyond the front desk/lobby area, hotel front desk and bar staff can easily witness those entering the lounge and will have the ability to confirm that only registered guests are utilizing the on-site alcohol service. Security cameras also currently monitor the front desk and lobby area for additional security. The applicant has also provided their employee alcohol- training handbook, which includes information for guest verification in regard to the alcohol service (attached). Bar staff can verify the names of the registered hotel guests through the hotel’s POS system. Finally, in 2020, the Planning Commission approved on-site sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine indoor only at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa). Due to concerns from the public and the City’s Police Department, conditions of approval were added to the resolution to mitigate potential impacts. The same conditions of approval that were identified by the City’s Police Department to lower negative impacts for Hotel Hermosa are included in the conditions of approval for the proposal. G. The relationship of proposed business-generated traffic volume and size of streets serving the area: The request for sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol within the indoor lounge for hotel guests only is not anticipated to generate additional traffic to the site. As such, no impacts are anticipated. H. The proposed exterior signs and décor, and compatibility with existing establishments in the area: The proposed project does not include exterior signs or décor. No impacts are anticipated. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: 31 4 The original approval for the existing hotel included conditions of approval to limit the hours of operations of the proposed amenities, such as the food service area, the multi-functional room at the second floor level and the pool/spa area to 10:00 P.M. daily, in order to reduce potential noise impacts generated by the proposed use. The proposed sale, service and consumption of general alcohol in the lounge area will be subject to the same hours of operations as the existing hotel amenities. The City’s Code Enforcement Division confirmed that since the operation of the existing hotel, there have been no noise complaints/issues for the hotel guest areas. The only complaint that was received was concerning the exterior lighting, which was quickly resolved by hotel management. Additionally, the hotel with proposed general alcohol sale, service and consumption limited to no later than 10:00 PM 7 days a week, is not considered a late-night alcohol beverage establishment and will not contribute to adverse impacts commonly associated with late-night alcohol establishments. Therefore, the subject request is not subject to the limitations contained within HBMC Section 17.40.080. The additional conditions of approval are anticipated to reduce the likelihood of noise impacts to neighboring uses. J. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: Impacts to police services have been an issue with some late night alcohol serving facilities clustered in the downtown area. However, given the proposal is not a late night establishment and the prevision only includes on-site sale, service and consumption of general alcohol indoors for hotel guests only, the request is not anticipated to impact City services. Though the proposed use is not anticipated to create adverse affects to the City’s infrastructure and/or services several measures have been taken through the conditions of approval to mitigate any potential impacts. The City is committed to ensuring that hotel establishments are closely monitored and the existing hotel use is conditioned such that “Should the Police Chief determine that a continuing police problem exists, he/she may, subject to appeal to the Planning Commission, direct the presence of a police approved security personnel to eliminate the problem. An appeal to the Planning Commission shall be heard within sixty (60) days of filing the appeal. The Police Chief’s determination will not be stayed during the pendency of the appeal. If the problem persists, the Police Chief then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of the conditional use permit,” (CUP Condition 19). In addition, “The Planning Commission may review this Conditional Use Permit or Precise Development Plan or Parking Plan and may amend the subject conditions or impose any new conditions if deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental effects on the neighborhood resulting from the subject use.” (CUP Condition 30). Finally, in 2020, condition of approvals that were identified by the City’s Police Department for the CUP Amendment for Hotel Hermosa to mitigate potential services impacts from the proposed onsite sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine at an existing hotel are also applicable here. Thus, the following conditions have been added to the conditions of approval: 11. The establishment shall have security personnel on-duty during the hours of alcohol sales, service and consumption at the owner/operator’s expense. In addition to other security duties at the hotel property, the security personnel shall be responsible for monitoring the dining and alcohol service area to address any loud, boisterous or unruly behavior. If the security personnel are not able to reduce or eliminate incidents and problems at the hotel property, the Chief of Police may direct the establishment to hire additional security personnel, at the owner/operators expense, who will have the sole responsibility of monitoring the dining and alcohol service area within the hotel property. If the problem persists, the Chief of Police shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Conditional Use Permit 32 5 and Parking Plan by the Planning Commission. If the establishment can demonstrate that security personnel is no longer necessary to the satisfaction of the Police Chief due to a reduced impact to the City’s services, such as, but not limited to a reduction in the number and severity of Calls for Service (CFS) directly attributed to the hotel property over a twelve month period the Police Chief may modify the requirement for security personnel. If there is no longer a necessity for security personnel, then the requirement to have security personnel shall be annulled upon notification from the Police Chief to the Community Development Director and the applicant. Any other change to the requirement to have security personnel shall require an amendment to this CUP following a public hearing before the Planning Commission. 12. The establishment shall install and maintain a video surveillance system in the ground-level lounge alcohol service area, where alcohol will be consumed. The video surveillance system shall have a retention period of at least thirty (30) days. The establishment agrees to cooperate with the City’s Code Enforcement and Police Department to provide copies of video surveillance for criminal or administrative investigations. 13. The establishment will arrange a meeting with the Police Chief on an annual basis to review the impact of the CUP. During the annual meeting, the Police Department will review the number and severity of the Calls for Service (CFS) directly attributable to the hotel property for the previous twelve months. If there are any increases in the number and severity of CFS directly attributable to the hotel property, the establishment will provide the Police Chief with a plan to reduce the impacts within thirty (30) days of the meeting. K. 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 are identified. Section 6. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for a Parking Plan amendment pursuant to H.B.M.C. Section 17.44.210. As noted in the analysis for the Conditional Use Permit amendment above, the existing site is subject to the approved Parking Plan, which includes conditions of approval to ensure proper use of the valet parking system. Conditions of approval that ensure the proper use of the valet system will not be affected by the applicant’s request. Conditions of approval such as “hotel guest, visitors, employees and service providers shall be directed to utilize the 15th Street project driveway to access the site and directional signage shall be provided to this effect. Valet service shall not be provided to assist guest arrival and loading/unloading from the pubic right-of-way. Signage shall direct guests to pull into the garage for arrival and loading/unloading,” will remain. Additionally, the approved parking management plan will only be revised to allow for the proposed parking charge. The request to allow the charge of parking would permit the applicant to offer competitive room rates when it comes to marketing and increase their ability to have a sustainably high occupancy rate. The existing project was conditioned to prohibit the charge of on-site parking in order to address concerns of creating spillover-parking impacts into the surrounding neighborhoods. However, the provision to allow for a parking fee of $20 per night is not anticipated to generate adverse impacts to neighboring businesses or residents. The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements, as there are 37 on-site spaces for the 30-room hotel. The addition of general sale, service and consumption for hotel guests only within the existing lounge would not change the existing hotel use and will provide incidental alcohol service to those already staying at the hotel and would therefore not increase parking demand. Charging a parking fee is a 33 6 common practice for hotels. Similar boutique hotels in the South Bay also charge for valet parking. The parking fee of $20 per night is comparable to other hotel parking fees in the area. See the chart below of hotel parking fees for similar hotels in the South Bay: Beach House Hotel (Hermosa Beach) $25 The Shade Hotel (Redondo Beach) $26 The Shade Hotel (Manhattan Beach) $30 Portofino Hotel (Redondo Beach) $28 Since the parking fee is comparable, and even more affordable then other hotel parking fees in the area, the provision to allow for a parking fee of $20 per night is not anticipated to generate adverse impacts to neighboring businesses or residents. Additionally, the parking fee is comparable with parking fees in the surrounding area. Metered and pay-by-space parking in the downtown area is available for $1.25 per hour (daily 2AM to 8PM) to $1.50 per hour (daily 8PM to 2AM). Thus, hotel guests would have to pay between $22.50 and $27.00 per night for on-street metered parking. On street parking for hotel guests in neighboring residential neighborhoods is prohibited. Residential areas surrounding the subject site have been identified as “Impacted Parking Areas”. Overnight parking within impacted parking areas require residential parking permits purchased through the City’s Finance Cashier’s Office. Thus, both the hotel operators would encourage hotel guests and market conditions to pay the overnight parking fee and park their vehicles on-site. Charging a small parking fee of $20 per night would not impact surrounding areas and could additionally encourage alternative forms of transportation such as ride share services, taxis, carpooling, or bus service, which is preferred in the downtown district and consistent with sustainability and mobility goals of the City. The existing hotel has two 7-bike on-site bicycle racks located on northwest side of the building, facing 15th Street, which is consistent with the 2015 approved plans. Section 8.

Complaining about drink strength is a sign of intoxication only if it represents a change in behavior. For instance, if the guest had drunk one or more of the same alcoholic beverages without complaining and then complained that the drink was weak, this would be a sign of intoxication. (continued)108 © 2010, Educational Institute 22 Role Plays Role Play #2: The guest displayed signs of decreased coordination (falling back into the chair) and signs of slowed reaction times (trouble pronouncing a word). It’s likely that the guest is becoming intoxicated because he or she had at least one drink and exhibited two signs of intoxication. (continued) 109 Parking Management Plan: A)We are looking to provide and pay for staff parking through the yearly pass for staff. Employee parking will be offered free of charge at hotel’s expense. B) The valet is always responsible to maintain smooth and safe parking op- erations, while offering a friendly and warm greeting to our guests. Valet operates 24 Hours. Greeting Procedure: Guests are approached by an attendant as soon as the vehicle ar- rives. Vehicle doors are opened, eye contact is made, guests are greeted in a friendly manner, example: Good morning, afternoon, evening - Welcome to H2O Hermosa Then, offer a ticket that guests can use upon retrieving their cars. All vehicles are carefully parked, the doors are locked and the keys brought back to a secure area. The keys are hung with the ticket stub attached on a hook. The license plate, parking location, attendant’s initials, model & col- or of vehicle, are all written on the ticket stub so that the vehicle can be easily identified when the customer is ready to leave. Customers are treated with courtesy and professionalism at all times with the goal being to get them in and out of the parking facilities as 110 quickly as possible. Parking Procedure: All vehicles are driven safely and cautiously to the intended parking. All vehicles must be backed into each parking space. Safety is al- ways the most important goal. Our operations should always be car- ried with a sense of urgency, however safety must never be sacri- ficed. Motor Vehicle Reports H2O Hermosa reserves the right to request motor vehicle reports (MVRs) on any employment applicants as well as current employees with driving responsibilities. Driver’s License Drivers are required to carry their current driver’s license when dri- ving vehicles. Driving Test The Company reserves the right to conduct a driving test of any prospective or employed driver at any time. Revocation of Driving Responsibility Employees observed demonstrating carelessness or wanton disre- gard for safe operation of a motor vehicle are excluded from driving responsibilities and may face suspension and/or termination from employment. Compensation Each valet collects their own tips Incident Report If an incident (loss, damage, or injury) occurs, report it immediately to the Manager On Duty. It is our responsibility to intercept any inci- dents, report any and all problems. 111 Vehicle Care • Lock every car, every time. Never leave keys or key board unat- tended. • Run fast, drive slow. • Leave a safety zone on both sides of the vehicle when you park it to prevent damage. Leave enough room so vehicles on both sides can easily get out and doors will open without touching the car. • Obey all traffic laws including, but not limited to: - Parking in the direction of the flow of traffic. - Most damage occurs while backing up. Be aware of your surround- ings. Only back up when necessary. - Only enter the vehicle after all guests have exited and all doors are closed. Check right and left blind spots before proceeding. - When pulling a car forward, or when a guest has stopped, make sure the vehicle is in park. - Leave the radio, air conditioning, and other controls alone. Only adjust the seat if needed for safety reasons. - Don’t rummage through the glove compartment or anything else in the vehicle. - If you are not familiar with the operation of the vehicle (hybrid, keyless ignition, specially equipped, etc.) ask the guest or the man- ager. He or she will be glad to show you. Conduct • Smile • No horseplay, No joy riding. • Never use your iPod touch while parking Lost parking ticket: If the parking ticket is lost by the guest, the valet attendant kindly asks for an ID in order to ensure it matches the vehicle registration, or insurance. 112 In case the guest uses a rental car, ask for ID and rental agreement. Communication: If needed, Valet attendants are allowed to communicate with Front Desk through their iPod touch to ensure parking registration has been proceed- ed. C) As above D) No Charge shall be made for onsite parking at any time. There is a fee for valet services of $20 per night. Charging for parking will alleviate the demand on the neighboring streets. There is enough parking in the hotel for all 30 rooms and staff on site which will not cause any ex- cessive parking on the neighboring streets from the hotel guests or staff. All the boutique hotels in South Bay charge for valet parking as it is a ser- vice. Please see the chart below, H2O Hermosa’s charges are low in com- parison to the city charges and other hotel’s valet services. E) The valet ensures the fugitive from headlamps and emissions are turned off the vehicles and headlamps. F) As above in B). All entry is through 15th Street and exit through 15th Court. G) Vendors are directed to bring deliveries in off peak times, after 11am. H) The site shall be operated as not to block the sidewalk and queuing on to public right-of-way.

Getting Around H2O Hermosa is conveniently located walking distance to the beach, oceanfront restaurants, and entertaining nightlife. The best ways to get around Hermosa Beach are: walking, biking, driving, or ride-share. https://www.h2ohermosa.com/explore There are two electric vehicle charging stations in the garage. 115 EV Charging Station Sustainability is a key value of H2O Hermosa. We are proud to of- fer two EV charging stations located in the driveway entrance of the hotel. In the lobby, it is done through the front desk team when the guests are checking in. M) This was all done during construction. 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 Attachment: Poster Verification 15th Street 131 Hermosa Avenue 132 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM Date: March 16, 2021 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council and Planning Commission From: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director Subject: March 16, 2021 Planning Commission Agenda Item 9 CUP 20-8 & PARK 20-5- Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment request to provide on-site sale, service, and consumption of general alcohol indoors only within the hotel lounge for registered guests only, 7 days a week 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel (H2O Hermosa) and to allow charging a fee for on-site parking located at 1429 Hermosa Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Supplemental Response to Questions On March 16, 2021, the Planning Division received questions from the City Council regarding business operations of H20 Hermosa. The following are responses to the questions received: 1. What are the current hours of operation? Due to the pandemic, the hotel has limited their operation hours to Friday through Sunday for the months of February to March. Operations are anticipated to resume regular business hours starting Monday, March 22, 2021. Regular hours of operation consist of 24-hour services 7 days a week (Monday through Sunday). 2. What are the hotel room rates for H2O Hermosa and what are the rates of surrounding hotels? Under Section 8: Condition 12a) states "Employees shall not be prohibited from parking onsite". Since the applicant is proposing a fee for parking onsite, does that mean employees would pay $20 to park? Should this language be eliminated? Hotel room rates vary depending on room availability, to travel season, and market rates in the area. Hotel management for H2O Hermosa, review market rates daily when determining the current room rates. The following room rates were reported for H20 Hermosa for the months of March and April: • March 2021: $199 per night • April 2021: $249 per night The following table identifies room rates for surrounding hotels: (room type: 1 room and 2 adults) 133 Beach House Hotel (Hermosa Beach) $379 per night The Shade Hotel (Redondo Beach) $179 per night The Shade Hotel (Manhattan Beach) $269 per night Portofino Hotel (Redondo Beach) $249 per night 3. What is the total number of seats in the Lobby Lounge? The 2015 approved plans show a total of 34 seats. However, the seating has been revised slightly and there are now a total of 33 seats. See the photos of the lounge below: 134 4. Does the subject site have a commercial kitchen? H20 Hermosa has patterned with Hermosa Brewing Company to provide a continental breakfast service for guests. This service has been temporarily suspended due to the pandemic. Due to their limited kitchen capacity, hot foods are not prepared or served to guests. Their kitchen currently consists of a refrigerator, a coffee marker, and ice machine and storage. 5. There is a large collection of wine bottles racked in what looks like a vertical glass fronted wine cellar in the Lobby lounge (visible through the windows). In addition, in the photo of the Coffee bar, there are wine glasses directly behind the server. Have they already been serving wine in this area? If yes, how long has this been happening? The applicant has shared that the wine is just for display and is part of the decor for the Lobby. No wine or alcohol services are currently offered in the lobby, as the operators are aware of the State of California Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) laws and the ramifications of breaking them. The glasses in the bar area are washed in the bar’s sink and utilized for the room service. Surplus glasses are stored in the bar area only. 6. As a follow up to the 2015 approval, was the $28,9000 in-lieu fee paid for the loss of one on-street parking space as outlined in Section 8/Condition 11? In-lieu fees have been paid. 7. Is the applicant already charging for parking? Staff was unaware of the parking fee displayed on the business’ website. The applicant has confirmed that they have been charging for parking, but has agreed to remove all mentions of the parking fee from their website and confirmed they will not charge for parking until further notice. 8. Will employees be encouraged to park on-site? The subject site has a total of 37 on-site parking spaces. The existing use is required 30 on-site parking spaces. Based on the number of parking spaces that existing on the site, sufficient parking for employees and guests is provided. Employees are not charged a parking fee and will not be charged a parking fee with the applicant’s proposal. 9. What is applicant’s current ABC license? The applicant has a type 66 (Controlled Access Cabinet Permits) and a type 70 (Restrictive Service) alcohol license. Type 66 alcohol licenses are issued to licensed hotels or motels and allow for the sale of packaged distilled spirits in guestrooms. The distilled spirits sold pursuant to these permits shall be in containers of 50 milliliters or less and must be secured in a locked cabinet. Type 70 alcohol licenses authorizes the sale or furnishing of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises to the establishment’s overnight transient occupancy guests or their invitees. This license is normally issued to “suite-type” hotels and motels, which exercise the license privileges for guests’ “complimentary” happy hour. Minors are allowed on the premises. The applicant’s request will not affect their current alcohol licenses. The request will allow the applicant to extent the alcohol sale, service, and consumption to the lounge. 135 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 21-0133 Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of March 16, 2021 Extension of Time to Planning Entitlement- To extend for one (1) year the expiration date of a Conditional Use Permit 18-8, Precise Development Plan 18-11, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #80318 for a two-unit detached residential condominium project at 825 15th Street, and determine the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT:Ebrahim Soltani Barcelona Investment, Inc. 1981 Artesia Boulevard, #8 Redondo Beach CA, 90278 Recommended Action: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt by Minute Order the extension of the expiration date of the Conditional Use Permit 18-8, Precise Development Plan 18-11, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #80318 for a two-unit attached residential condominium project by one (1) year, to February 19, 2022. Background/ Analysis: An application was filed on August 30, 2018 by the property owner/applicant Ebrahim Soltani, E&S Prime Builders, Inc., for development of the property at 825 15th Street, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 18-8, Precise Development Plan 18-11, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #80318 for a two-unit detached residential condominium project. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on February 19, 2019, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. On February 19, 2019, the Planning Commission approved the project as presented subject to approved plans and conditions of approval contained within PC Resolution 19-2 (attached). Condition 28 of the current approval states “Approval of these permits shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of approval by the Planning Commission, unless significant construction or improvements or the use authorized hereby has commenced. One or more extensions of time may be requested. No extension shall be considered unless requested, in writing to the Community Development Director including the reason therefore, at least 60 days prior to the expiration date. No City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™136 Staff Report REPORT 21-0133 additional notice of expiration will be provided.” The developer has indicated he has every intention of completing this project and has experienced delays with getting through plan check due to the designer needing to make necessary changes to comply with code, and then the pandemic added an additional layer of difficulty at every level of development. Since construction will not commence prior to the expiration of the approval, the Final Map will not have made significant enough progress in order to make it back to the City prior to the expiration of the Tentative Map. For this reason, the applicant is seeking the extension of 12 months on the full entitlement. Civil Sheets and Low Impact Development Plans were approved by the Public Works Department on November 25, 2019 and final building plans were approved on January 15, 2020. At this time a demolition permit has not been issued. If a permit extension is granted, construction is projected to begin shortly after the hearing. For the reasons listed above, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve by Minute Order the request to extend the expiration date of February 19, 2021, by one (1) year to February 19, 2022 for a Conditional Use Permit 18-8, Precise Development Plan 18-11, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #80318 for a two-unit detached residential condominium project at 825 15th Street.

ILLEGAL DUMPING – During the past 10 years, soil has illegally been dumped on this lot several times for the purpose of artificially raising the level of the lot. 2. 30’ HEIGHT RESTRICTION – The net effect of this dumping is to circumvent the Hermosa Beach height limit of 30 feet for residential construction by raising the starting point from which this height will be measured. 3.

Neighboring Resident Concerns The City received email correspondence (see attached) from neighboring residents expressing concerns regarding project located at 825 15th Street. Concerns include proposed building height and dumping of soil on the site. Both the Building and Safety Division and the Planning Division have provided responses to the neighbors’ various questions and concerns. Staff has also provided them with available copies of requested materials. In response to the most recent email, dated March 11, 2021 from the neighbors, Staff has provided or confirmed the following: Soils Report dated December 1, 2017 submitted by NorCal Engineering confirming boring samples were taken at the site. The boring samples clarified that there was 1 foot of loose, fill soil at the site. This extra soil does not affect building height because the City measures from the four established property corner elevations, not from top of fill soil. Confirmation that the height is under the 30-foot height limit on the architectural plans. Building inspections at time roof framing will confirm compliance with this requirement. Height Determination As required by Condition 2 (a)(i) of Planning Commission Resolution 19-02, Staff has received and reviewed the soils report, including boring samples, to confirm the height of the proposed building will fully comply with the 30-foot height limit. A detailed topographic survey, prepared and certified by a professional, licensed surveyor or civil engineer, indicating all property corner point elevations was used as the basis for calculating building height. The topographic survey also identified all existing improvements, adjacent sidewalk, curb, street improvement and adjacent property elevations. The dumping of soil noted by the neighbor will not impact the project height. Planning Commission Consideration The item for consideration this evening is a time extension to a previously approved land use entitlement. The Planning Commission is limited to taking action on the items on the agenda.

Also thank you for the questions posed by the Mr. & Mrs. Coulter at 833 15th Street adjacent to the 825 15th project while I've been out of town on business. By way of introduction, my address is 829 15th Street which is the front unit located just East and directly adjacent to the 825 15th Street project. To add to the lot history, we worked with the city to have the original house demolished in 2002. The property had been vacant for 13 years, was rat infested, trees had grown into the power lines and was being used by squatters which required dozens of calls to police for many different offences. So we petitioned to have it destroyed and removed. We have also been involved with earlier attempts to develop this lot prior to and during the hotel development. The original hotel plans violated both city and state codes without restrictions by the Hermosa Beach city planning commission. We had to pay the city to have the Planning Commission to review the plans for code violations. Several of the neighbors worked together to require new plans be developed and approved. The hotel planned to rezone this lot to provide parking which was in violation of state zoning law. The new plans forced to push East side of hotel away from the residential boundary (per HB code) and to maintain the 19' setback from 15th street. The hotel complained as these restrictions resulted in losing seven (7) rooms. This was also a concern to the city as wanted to maximize revenue which was the justification for the larger footprint. Although the plans were subsequently changed, when built, they used different plans, which we were told was common. There were also other attempts to develop this lot by several owners. In several cases construction teams came in and dumped dirt on the lot, primarily in the middle and back to increase the height of the corner points. The builders complained it was necessary due to the height of the hotel, which of course was our original complaint. That said, we have several concerns, height being one. We are also concerned that the 19' set back from 15th Street be maintained to be in line with the rest of the buildings. We would like to know how this project plans to deal with the utility pole front of the lot, and how the project will manage street and traffic access from our location. One of the early projects expected us to pay for under-grounding utilities to reduce their cost, and possibly was the result that project fell through, what is the plan for the utility pole and its impact to power, internet, etc.. Also concerned with how the projects just completed at the top of 15th Street were allowed to continually block traffic, impacting egress into and out of our driveways. How will this project be restricted from blocking 829 and 833 driveways from entering and leaving. Please provide plans or information how they plan to deal with the utility impacts, e.g. moving or removing pole and to show position of the two units in relation within the lot, e.g. driveway access and set backs. There should be artist rendering to show how the height relates to the adjacent properties, not estimates but precise plans so that the final result can be used for comparison. With regard to the height calculation the HB City Code provides information that is not consistent with using the North corner point as the basis for height, as stated: "In cases where there is significant variation in elevations between adjacent properties at corner points, the point of measurement shall be established based on the elevation at the nearest public improvement or an alternative point within 3 horizontal feet which, based on supporting evidence, represents existing unaltered grade. In the absence of supporting documentation the corner point elevation shall be established at 1/2 the difference between the adjacent elevation and the elevation on the property in question. The determination of grade shall be made by the Community Development Director, based on all available evidence, and any disputes shall be referred to the Planning Commission. For lots with convex contours (where the ground level arches upward along a property line) the "grade" of a lot may be based on a detailed topographical survey along the property line with spot elevations called out at a minimum of two (2) foot intervals." It is good to know that that the building will not exceed 30', but of course the question is how the starting point is determine. We agree a lot has occurred since 1933 and the HB code stipulates that where there is a question, a new survey is required. "In general, maximum height runs parallel to the slope of the ground. Where any question about height exists, a height survey performed by a licensed surveyor or civil engineer will be required. Height survey requirements require: 1. A detailed topographic survey, prepared and certified by a licensed surveyor or civil engineer, indicating all property corner point elevations are used as the basis for calculating building height. The topographic survey indicates all existing improvements, adjacent sidewalk, curb, street improvement and adjacent property elevations. 2. The maximum allowable building height at the highest elements of the roof (the Critical Point, CP) is calculated by interpolating from the elevation points shown on the survey. Critical Points and allowable building height at each critical point is clearly stated on the roof plan. 3. The building, while under construction and at the roof framing inspection stage, shall be surveyed to determine building heights at critical points on the roof (or uppermost portion of the building roof sheathing) corresponding to approved plans. The survey shall be conducted and certified by a licensed surveyor or civil engineer. 4. A building height verification letter shall be submitted indicating that the building is at or below the calculated maximum building height at the critical points before the roof framing final inspection is approved by the City. As noted, earlier development plans resulted in significant dirt being dumped on the back of the lot which was just recently scrapped and smoothed over last month. When the dirt was dumped, they later promised that it would be removed and used on 'other projects' in the area as the lot was just being used to store gravel, dirt, etc., but it was never removed, just smoothed over resulting in the slope you see today. Thanks Again for your help, Michael and Teresa Gilmore 829 15th Street Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 In a message dated 3/10/2021 2:48:15 PM Pacific Standard Time, brollins@hermosabch.org writes: Hi, The elevation at the north end of the lot was taken from points on the low block wall in that location. Survey points are almost always offset; those in streets or sidewalks are offset the distance from the property line, those on structures (like the ones at hand) are offset the distance from the top of the structure to thegrade (dirt) below. There may or may not still be “pins” in that wall. The house that was demolished in 2002 was built in 1933. It is customary to survey lots at the time of original construction, so likely the information was stored and passed on to the survey community. While it is possible that the new building will be taller than some around it, it will not exceed the 30’ height limit – asmentioned before, it is between 2 – 6’ below the limit. 154 3/11/21, 8:33 AM Page 2 of 6https://outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADUwMzkwODBl…AtNDAyYy1iNGM4LTdhMzk2OTc4NWNjYgAQAFt6knmYzkqUl9uLxBNC7WY%3D Hope this helps.

There has been much talk about the pins or markers at the sidewalk/street side but I am still not clear on what was used to determine the elevation at the north end of the lot. Are there some kind of markers at the north end to verify the elevation or original surveys to show the proper location? My concern is that, under the current plans, the house at rear of the lot at 825 15th st. will meet or exceed the height of the house at 833 15th st. I have taken measurements from the string line currently in place at the lot and have proven this to be the case. Obviously, since 15th Street has a steep incline, and 825 is below 833 on the hill, 825 should not reach the same height if the 30 foot height restrictions areenforced.

There have been no changes to the approved plans for this project. The 2 condos will consist of a “basement” level and twostories above the basement. The lot line survey on which the height calculations were based used pins set in the concrete sidewalk to establish grade height; any fill soil put on the lot will not increase the height of the building, as the base line is not the top of the soil. This project will involve shoring; excavation and support of the dirt around the excavation to create the basements. Soil will be removed from the lot for theexcavation. Both buildings range from between about 2’ below the 30’ height limit to about 6’ below it. For clarity, I have answered your questions after each one in bold type face. Hope this helps.

At the planning meeting, we were told the soil sample would be carried out for the purpose of determining the proper elevation to be considered. This is not what the soil report addresses in any way. So it appears to be useless and not to have been used for the intended purpose as wascommunicated to us. Your thoughts on this? We appreciate your response to the following: 1. Are you confirming that that the architects for the new homes to be constructed used the original site elevation heights? Yes, the survey used was made in early 2019. Is this something you have evidence of and can provide us? No, the survey is copy right protected. We appreciate it since wehave seen the lot rise in height over time and we can see that the corner markers they have painted and are using for height calculations are those at present “ground level”. Adding soil to the lot will not increase the height of the building. The majority of the soil on the lot will be removed to create the basements when they undertake the shoring. 2. It looks like the builders are stepping the foundation (from the highest point) by several feet (pink string) so that the new home in the back of the lot nextto ours will be taller than our home. We are using 2019 plans Kathy from the city sent us via e-mail a year ago for our calculations. Can you please tell us the legalities around stepping up the foundation. FYI, they are below us on the hill and our home is three levels. There has been no alteration or “stepping up” of the foundation from the plans approved by Planning Commission and then by this department. 156 3/11/21, 8:33 AM Page 4 of 6https://outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADUwMzkwODBl…AtNDAyYy1iNGM4LTdhMzk2OTc4NWNjYgAQAFt6knmYzkqUl9uLxBNC7WY%3D 3. If you are unable to e-mail us the most current approved plans due to copy right issues, as Kathy did, can you tell us how many levels they are going up and the number of feet. The 2 condos will consist of a “basement” level and two stories above the basement. Both buildings range from between about 2’ below the 30’ height limit to about 6’ below it. We are losing all our views by the looks of things (working from the old plan Kathy sent us). Normally if thereare view issues, the builder is required to flag the development and show what the entire 3D massing will be with small neon little flags. There is no sign of anything like this. There has never been anything like this in Hermosa Beach; we do not have a “view ordinance” only a height limit. The type of “flagging” you refer to is used in places (such as Malibu) that do have view ordinances. Lastly, Bob, we have the unfortunate personal experience of knowing that once a building is ready to be roofed and issues are found with the height of it, nothing will be done. That ship has sailed. This is incorrect; we currently have a project where the height survey showed a portion of the roof to be 2 ½” higher than the limit. This is being corrected. We would like this information prior to the public meeting so it’s as productive as possible for all involved.

Heights are taken either from survey pins fixed in adjacent concrete sidewalks or streets. If one is missing, the surveyors reference a data base to obtain the proper elevations. Thus, if you pile 10 feet of soil onto a lot, the heightof the building will have to be 10 feet lower than it could have been otherwise. We use the surveyor to verify height at time of roof framing. As we are closed to the public, there is no way for us to share the current plans, as they are copy right protected. Hope this helps.

Please see my request to Yuritcy below. Are you able to assist? An architect has looked at the proposed foundation of the new construction indicated by their“string” and they are stepping up the foundation by several feet from the highest soil level, so the new home adjacent to us (going form 2019 plans) will actually be higher than our home even though they are further down the hill and our home has three levels and is a maximum height per code. This means we will haveno roof top view, whatsoever as it will tower over us. Surely this is illegal. For this reason, I have asked Yuritcy for the following which I have not yet received: 1. Confirm that the architects for the new homes to be constructed did not use the original Site elevation heights (as opposed to the current height - elevated by soil dumping – multiple witness of this and photos).2. Provide us the most up-to-date plans with elevations, etc., as I believe all we have are old ones. Before we get an attorney involved, are you able to confirm (1) above and provide (2).

We feel stymied by the vague and inadequate answers to the questions we have posed to the planning department of Hermosa Beach through multiple emails over the last few days. We have lived in our Hermosa Beach home for almost 20 years at 833 15th St and the lot next-door at 825 has been empty. During that time there have been multiple occurrences of soil dumping by the owner. We have seen the lot rise drastically over the years since the soil was never taken away and was just smoothed over. What this has meant is that especially at the north end of the lot adjacent to our home, the level of the land is significantly higher than it originally was. Please see a picture of the lot now and imagine this as totally flat 20 years ago. It is our understanding that construction is about to begin on two homes and that the builder is using the elevated topography points. This means that even though we are on a steep hill and our home is above the empty lot, this home will tower over our 3 level home and block every view we have including our rooftop view. We have tried to explain the situation to the city and their responses have been totally inadequate. Excavation is scheduled to begin on March 16th which also happens to be the date a public meeting is taking place regarding the lot on the extension of the permit. Before this project received conditional approval, we attended the Planning Commission meeting and raised the issue of the soil dumping on the lot. I was assured that construction would not proceed until the true elevation could be determined. Obviously a 30 foot height restriction is meaningless unless you can confirm and enforce the correct starting point for the height of the building. We have been told things like: • There may or may not still be “pins” in that wall. • It's possible information was stored and passed on to the survey community. 160 • We can't share information we rely upon because it's copyright protected. • We can verify the height later, after it is built, when they are framing the roof. Can you see why these comments are inadequate? Are there, in fact, pins or aren't there? Were they used to determine the height? If not, why not? Was some mysterious information passed along in a survey community database? Does anyone know? Since there are public hearings on this project are we still going to say the public has no right to view the basis of decisions being made? Does anyone really believe the house will be torn down after it is built? Why would anyone wait until that point to determine if it will violate law? It is absurd the extent to which the lot has been intentionally altered and so to not know how the correct height will be determined, which may involve measurements based on current soil heights, recent surveys ignoring the alterations, or other unexplained phenomena, is totally unacceptable. I'm sure if the lot was next door to your home you would want a rational explanation not based on urban legend. We would ask for the same. Rest assured that the facts will be known at some point, by whatever means are necessary, we simply ask for the matter to be settled simply, quickly and amicably, using provable facts. Can we all agree that is the only method that makes sense and that is fair to all parties involved. I am attaching a photo of the lot as it exists today. What was previously a level and much lower lot still has piles of dirt and a steep upgrade going back to the northeast corner. We thank you for your attention to this matter. 161 -- Best Regards, Doug & Sharon Coulter 833 15th Street 310.999.2430 162 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 21-0137 Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of March 16, 2021 Receive Tri-Annual Report for On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits Recommended Action: Receive and file the report for informational purposes. This report covers the period from July 1 - December 31, 2020. Based on the information in the report, no establishment has reached the “Standard Initiating Planning Commission Review,” as no incidents/violations related to CUP and Health Department compliance occurred during this reporting period. Background: Since 2017 the tri-annual reviews of on-sale alcoholic beverage establishments includes the two-step process of providing an informational report before scheduling a hearing. The Process and Standards, updated in 2019, is Attachment 1. Changes to the process and reporting for this review, recommended by the Planning Commission, were approved by the City Council in March 2019, and include reporting and conducting the review three times a year. This is the first report in 2021 and covers the prior 6 months. The hearing to discuss and evaluate this report will be at the next Planning Commission Meeting, Tuesday April 20, 2021. The establishments required to prepare food to alcohol ratio reports for the first half of 2021 will be required to do so in the report that includes that time period. The next report will be presented in June 2021 and will cover the period between November 1, 2020 and April 30, 2021. On November 30, the LA County Department of Public Health released a temporary targeted Safer at Home order which limits a variety of activities and sectors, once again limiting restaurants to take out service only. Under the LA County Health order, restaurants were still permitted to serve take-out orders and alcohol to go provided it was served in sealed containers with a food order. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 10/7/2023Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™163 Staff Report REPORT 21-0137 Analysis: Police Reports and ABC Activity: The Police Report and ABC Activity are included as Attachment 2, with the last period report as Attachment 3. The current data sheet is Attachment 4 and officer security checks is Attachment 5.The Police Report includes a thorough summary of approach to reporting incidents, and their review and statistics related to each location. The DUI Report is Attachment 6. For the reporting period of July 1 - December 31, 2020, the Police Department found no violations which were considered CUP violations for the purpose of this report: Any single incident may not rise to the level of a citation of the business if they can immediately correct the violation. However, repeated or egregious violations, over the course of several weeks or months should be used administratively and reported as CUP violations to gain and maintain compliance. These violations should also be considered in the context of the multiple changes presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. In September, 2020 the Police Department learned of an advertisement at Tower 12 for a “Jungle Hour” happy hour which promoted double sized 32 ounce beer for the price of a pint, double sized 22 ounce double shot cocktails for the price of a single and half off shots, bottled and canned beers. This promotion was during the time when outdoor dining was permitted and when alcohol could only be served in conjunction with food. Officers checked the business and did not find any violations of the County Health orders however advertisements of this type are not consistent with agreements made by the business and the Hospitality Association. While there were no observed CUP violations, promotions of this type counteract the type of behavior that the City is working towards. Staff will continue to monitor the businesses for any promotions which may attract behavior which has an adverse impact. Occupant Load: The threshold to trigger review is one (1). Code Enforcement routinely checks on-sale establishments and did not report occupant load violations during the review period. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, most establishments were either closed completely or obtained permits for temporary outdoor dining areas during this reporting period. No citations were issued by Code Enforcement during this reporting period as emphasis was directed to educating various businesses as to how they were impacted by the myriad of Emergency Orders that were issued on a regular basis. Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention: The Los Angeles County Fire Department has resumed their business inspections and we have City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 10/7/2023Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™164 Staff Report REPORT 21-0137 included their inspection report as attachment 7. No violations were found in any business in the scope of this report. Code Enforcement/Violation of CUP Conditions: Code Enforcement efforts have shifted in response to Covid-19.With the new temporary outdoor dining/retail display program, Code Enforcement has been tasked with processing and verifying these permits, as well as ensuring that the added seating does not exceed County guidelines regarding occupant loads. Violations that are both a code violation and a CUP violation are only counted once.Although many other businesses received warnings, policy is to request compliance prior to issuing a Citation during a single shift. Code Enforcement considered the following as violations/incidents to highlight for this reporting period: Code Enforcement issued one citation during this reporting period. On September 19, 2000 Code Enforcement issued an Administrative Citation to Aloha Sharkeez at 52 Pier Av., for violations of the LA County Health Order for not abiding by limited capacity and social distancing protocols. Based on the “Procedure for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permit” no businesses have reached the “Standard Initiating P.C. Review” based on the “standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potentially for a subsequent modification/revocation hearing.” Code Enforcement Statistical Data Relating to Business Checks of Alcohol Serving Establishments July 1 - December 31, 2020 is contained in Attachment 8, with the last reporting period report as Attachment 9. ” General Plan Consistency: Evaluation of the City’s enforcement and police responses to achieve safety goals is consistent with Goal 5 of the Public Safety Element:High Quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors and the following policies under Goal 5: • Public Safety 5.1 Crime deterrence.Regularly evaluate the incidence of crime and identify and implement measures to deter crime. • Public Safety 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. • Public Safety 5.3 Use of technology.Provide and use smart surveillance technology and communication systems to improve crime prevention and inform the community regarding City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 10/7/2023Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™165 Staff Report REPORT 21-0137 actions to take in case of emergency. • Public Safety 5.4 Physical design standards.Reduce opportunities for criminal activity through physical design standards and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles. • Public Safety 5.8 Nuisance abatement. Encourage Police Department review of uses which 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. Additionally, Goal 2 of the Governance Element speaks to the importance of having the community, including business partners, be active and engaged in the decision-making process. Staff has found that collaboration with the Pier Plaza establishments to address safety concerns and improve access, lighting, and other aesthetics on the Plaza to be an effective partnership.

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.

(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. 168 Hermosa Beach Police Department July - December 2020 CUP Review 1 Police Reports: The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) conducts a thorough review of all police reports related to establishments which hold an ABC alcohol permit. Each report is typically reviewed individually by several people. The review process is initiated by the Crime Analyst, then a review by the Operations Bureau Division Commander (Lieutenant), and the Police Captain which is currently vacant. The Lieutenant and the Captain make recommendations to the Police Chief regarding their determination of an establishment’s culpability related to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards. In addition, the Operations Bureau Division Commander personally makes contact with owners and managers of establishments related to any concern(s) the Police Department may have of issues that do not rise to a CUP violation. The purpose of this communication is to ensure that the establishment hears directly from the Police Department in an effort to address issues before they rise to CUP violations or other potential safety concerns. Police reports are initiated by a Call for Service (CFS). A CFS begins when someone requests the help of the police (typically by a call to dispatch) or if an officer observes an incident/violation/or contacts someone in an enforcement capacity. A CFS may result in a report, citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. HBPD reviews both CFS and police reports related to ABC permitted addresses. It is important to understand that a CFS or a report at a specific address does not mean an incident happened inside the address. As an example, a traffic accident or a fight reported at 1234 Main Street does not mean the incident occurred inside the address or is associated with the 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. That said, a location with 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 location other than used as a landmark/identifying the location of an incident which occurred outside of the location. In reporting back to the Planning Commission, HBPD will note the number of CFS and Reports associated with an address. We also report back 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 (Table 1.) As an example, two people bump into each other inside of an establishment and one person hits the other person without warning. Without additional information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence, the establishment would not be charged with a CUP violation. As the Planning Commission reviews HBPD’s statistics related to each location, it should be understood that a location may have 4 “Total” reports, of which only 3 are “reviewed” would mean one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of report (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.), may or may not be charged against the establishment based on the determination made the HBPD Chief of Police. As noted, this determination will be made based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence. If it is determined that an establishment is complicit or negligent, a number will be assigned to the “Counted for CUP” column. 169 Hermosa Beach Police Department July - December 2020 CUP Review 2 For context, the HBPD and the FBI categorizes assaults, sexual assaults and narcotics violations as ‘serious crime.” With this in mind and with the agreement of the Planning Commission, it has been determined that two (2) incidents of “Serious Crime on Premises Indicative of Lack of Adequate Security” is the established criteria needed for the Chief of Police to request a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) review by the Planning Commission (as noted on Table 1 of the CUP review standards). That said, the municipal code also provides: “the Chief of Police retains authority to recommend CUP reviews to the Planning Commission at his/her discretion— regardless of the number of incidents in any period of time, as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. Between 07/01/2020 and 12/31/20, 4 police reports and 36 CFS related to establishments with CUPs merited review by police staff. Of these 4 reports, 2 were previously reviewed during the last CUP as they occurred during either July or August of 2020. American Junkie had one case reviewed, which was included in the past report as it occurred in July 2020. This report was determined to not be counted for CUP. Between 07/01/2020 and 12/31/20, Barnacles again had zero reports, and 8 CFS that were reviewed. Two CFS were previously reviewed during the last CUP. None of the Calls were counted for CUP by the Police Department. Of all the 36 Calls for service that were reviewed, 25 were Code Enforcement calls. All others were not determined to count for any CUP violations. See attached 2020July– 2020 December CUP 6 Month Review Chart.

The tri-cities did not receive a new ABC grant for this fiscal year. We will be re- applying for future grants. This grant provided funding for officers from each agency to work together to impact alcohol related issues in each city. While this program is primarily enforcement related, there is an educational component where police and ABC personnel meet with the staff/ownership at on-site and off-site sales establishments to review expectations and provide guidance. Updates of any future ABC grants will be provided to the Planning Commission. 170 Hermosa Beach Police Department July - December 2020 CUP Review 3 Responsible Beverage Service Training: On March 10, 2020 Behavioral Health Services provided RBS training in Hermosa Beach and had 15 attendees. 10 attendees were from Hermosa Beach establishments and 5 attendees were from Manhattan Beach establishments. 12 of the 15 attendees passed the post-test with a score of 70% or higher. Definitions: IMPACT (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies) Inspection- objective of the project is to educate licensees about the various ways they can participate in reducing alcohol-related crimes such as sales to underage and obviously intoxicated persons. Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs (LEAD) Training- A free, voluntary prevention and education program for retail licensees, their employees and applicants, designed to promote the legal and responsible sale and service of alcoholic beverages in California. Minor Decoy- This operation allows law enforcement to use persons under 20 years of age as decoys to test establishments ID check process to determine if they will sell alcohol to minors. Party Patrol Enforcement- This operation focuses on under aged alcohol related parties. Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Training- Similar to LEAD training, this free training is provided by the Behavioral Health Services (BHS) to sellers/servers designed to promote the legal and responsible sale and service of alcoholic beverages in California. Shoulder Tap- During these operations, a minor decoy, under the direct supervision of law enforcement officers, solicits adults outside ABC licensed establishments to buy the minor decoy alcohol. Trap Door- During these operations, law enforcement works with establishments to interview and cite minors who have attempted to gain access to an establishment using a false ID. DUI and Drunk in Public Summary: As part of 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. The answers are documented and are presented here. 171 Hermosa Beach Police Department July - December 2020 CUP Review 4 Driving Under the Influence Drunk in Public July - December 2020 July - December 2020 Beach 1 Beach 4 Community Center 1 Parking Lot 1 Fusion Sushi 1 Residence 1 Hermosa Beach 4 Street 1 Other City 6 Unknown 36 Patrick Molloys 1 Total 43 Rebel Republic 1 Unknown 3 Total 18 172 Hermosa Beach Police Department March - August 2020 CUP Review 1 Police Reports: The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) conducts a thorough review of all police reports related to establishments which hold an ABC alcohol permit.

A CFS may result in a report, citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. HBPD reviews both CFS and police reports related to ABC permitted addresses. It is important to understand that a CFS or a report at a specific address does not mean an incident happened inside the address. As an example, a traffic accident or a fight reported at 1234 Main Street does not mean the incident occurred inside the address or is associated with the 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. That said, a location with 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 location other than used as a landmark/identifying the location of an incident which occurred outside of the location. In reporting back to the Planning Commission, HBPD will note the number of CFS and Reports associated with an address. We also report back 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 (Table 1.) As an example, two people bump into each other inside of an establishment and one person hits the other person without warning. Without additional information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence, the establishment would not be charged with a CUP violation. As the Planning Commission reviews HBPD’s statistics related to each location, it should be understood that a location may have 4 “Total” reports, of which only 3 are “reviewed” would mean one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of report (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.), may or may not be charged against the establishment based on the determination made the HBPD Chief of Police. As noted, this determination will be made based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence. If it is determined that an establishment is complicit or negligent, a number will be assigned to the “Counted for CUP” column. 173 Hermosa Beach Police Department March - August 2020 CUP Review 2 For context, the HBPD and the FBI categorizes assaults, sexual assaults and narcotics violations as ‘serious crime.” With this in mind and with the agreement of the Planning Commission, it has been determined that two (2) incidents of “Serious Crime on Premises Indicative of Lack of Adequate Security” is the established criteria needed for the Chief of Police to request a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) review by the Planning Commission (as noted on Table 1 of the CUP review standards). That said, the municipal code also provides: “the Chief of Police retains authority to recommend CUP reviews to the Planning Commission at his/her discretion— regardless of the number of incidents in any period of time, as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. Between 03/01/2020 and 08/31/20, 10 police reports and 31 CFS related to establishments with CUPs merited review by police staff. Of these 10 reports, 4 were previously reviewed during the last CUP as they occurred during either March or April of 2020. Between 03/01/2020 and 08/31/20, Barnacles again had zero reports, and 6 CFS that were reviewed. Two CFS were previously reviewed during the last CUP. One of the previously reviewed calls was counted for CUP. This call was for subjects loitering at the location. Even though they were not cited, the incident was considered an ABC and LA health order violation. The general manager of Barnacles had previously been warned regarding several patrons on the patio with drinks who did not order food. Of the 4 currently reviewed calls, 1 counted towards CUP. This incident found customers were drinking at the location. 2 patrons, the owner and an employee were contacted and advised. The Deck had 5 calls for service reviewed and no reports. Of the CFS, one was found to be counted for the CUP. This instance consisted of a multiple people located at the location eating at tables. Some had drinks in clear cups that were not sealed. Code Enforcement was notified and asked to talk to the business owner and to move table and chairs inside. Silvio’s had one CFS reviewed and counted. The incident involved a patron who was drinking in public in front of Sylvio’s. The patron was cited for possession of an open container of alcohol in public. Per HBMC 17.40.080, the business is responsible for preventing loitering, unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons outside of the business or in the immediate area. Slaters 50 50 had 2 CFS reviewed and one counted for CUP. On the incident which is counted, four subjects were contacted in the parking lot of Slaters with open containers of alcohol. This call was a violation of 17.40.080 in the parking lot of the location. See attached 2020 March – 2020 August CUP 6 Month Review Chart.

The tri-cities did not receive a new ABC grant for this fiscal year. We will be re- applying for future grants. This grant provided funding for officers from each agency to work together to impact alcohol related issues in each city. While this program is primarily enforcement related, there is an educational component where police and ABC personnel meet with the staff/ownership at on-site and off-site sales establishments to review expectations and provide guidance. Updates of any future ABC grants will be provided to the Planning Commission. Responsible Beverage Service Training: On March 10, 2020 Behavioral Health Services provided RBS training in Hermosa Beach and had 15 attendees. 10 attendees were from Hermosa Beach establishments and 5 attendees were from Manhattan Beach establishments. 12 of the 15 attendees passed the post-test with a score of 70% or higher. Definitions: IMPACT (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies) Inspection- objective of the project is to educate licensees about the various ways they can participate in reducing alcohol-related crimes such as sales to underage and obviously intoxicated persons. Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs (LEAD) Training- A free, voluntary prevention and education program for retail licensees, their employees and applicants, designed to promote the legal and responsible sale and service of alcoholic beverages in California. Minor Decoy- This operation allows law enforcement to use persons under 20 years of age as decoys to test establishments ID check process to determine if they will sell alcohol to minors. Party Patrol Enforcement- This operation focuses on under aged alcohol related parties. Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Training- Similar to LEAD training, this free training is provided by the Behavioral Health Services (BHS) to sellers/servers designed to promote the legal and responsible sale and service of alcoholic beverages in California. Shoulder Tap- During these operations, a minor decoy, under the direct supervision of law enforcement officers, solicits adults outside ABC licensed establishments to buy the minor decoy alcohol. 175 Hermosa Beach Police Department March - August 2020 CUP Review 4 Trap Door- During these operations, law enforcement works with establishments to interview and cite minors who have attempted to gain access to an establishment using a false ID. DUI and Drunk in Public Summary: As part of 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. The answers are documented and are presented here.
