From: Ken Robertson <krobertson@hermosabeach.gov> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2020 2:27 PM To: DG_PlanningCommission <DG_PlanningCommission@hermosabeach.gov> Cc: 'Patrick Donegan' <Patrick.Donegan@bbklaw.com>; Nicole Ellis <nellis@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: Inaccurate noticing mailers with respect to the day of the week identified for the Planning Commission hearing Chair and Commissioners, We have discovered, after following up on the email below, that our notification mailers to surrounding residents for three of our public hearings tonight, agenda items 8, 9, and 10 (2515 Pacific Coast Highway, 847 Bard Street, and 828 Hermosa Avenue) while identifying the correct date indicated Thursday, January 21, rather than Tuesday January 21st. You can see below that the Sea View Villas homeowners association would like the meeting postponed due to the confusion that may have been caused by this. In discussing with the City Attorney, while we regret this mistake, it is not a serious flaw in the noticing given that the correct date is identified and that any possible clarification regarding the day of the week was easily resolved by contacting staff or checking our web site. The notices in the newspaper and posted on the project sites did not have this day of the week error. I have also responded to Ms. Torres below, thanking her for pointing this out and asking her to help clarify the correct hearing date with her homeowners group. While it’s not staff’s or the City Attorney’s recommendation to postpone the public hearings over this issue, it would be in the Commission’s discretion to continue the public hearings on these three items to the February 18 regular meeting, and if so, staff will fully correct the notices and re-mail them. Regarding item 11 (the M-1 zoning recommendations) the mailer correctly identified the hearing as Tuesday, January 21, 2020 Ken Robertson Director, Community Development Department City of Hermosa Beach From: Deborah Torres <torres.studio@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2020 10:13 PM To: Ken Robertson <krobertson@hermosabeach.gov>; Nicole Ellis <nellis@hermosabeach.gov>; Beverly Tuazon <btuazon@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: Improper Notice Causing Confusion about meeting - request it to be rescheduled and proper notification sent Ken and Nicole- The notice to Sea View Villas homeowners was received about a Thursday January 21, 2020 hearing for the hotel. See attached. Unfortunately, this seems to be causing quite a bit of confusion among our owners. Will you postpone this hearing until we can all be properly and correctly notified of a correct day and date? Thank you.

Following the November 19th public hearing, the Planning Commission directed staff to bring back revised resolutions for beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, indoors only, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel and to deny any outdoor beer and wine service for approval at the December 9, 2019 Planning Commission meeting. The motion carried with a 4 to 0 vote noting the recusal City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™21 Staff Report REPORT 20-0026 of Commissioner Saemann. Notwithstanding that the public hearing had concluded, both the City’s Police Department and two members of the Planning Commission had outstanding reservations about the number of calls for service when compared to other hotels along Pacific Coast Highway and how the addition of sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only at the hotel might affect City enforcement services and the nearby residential uses (Seaview Villas). The two Commissioners disclosed that they met with the Police Department a week prior to the December 9th Planning Commission meeting to gain more information from the City’s public safety officials. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public meeting on December 9, 2019 to consider, on consent calendar, the previously directed resolutions of approval. The City’s Police Department stated that although the City cannot predict whether calls for service will improve, become worse or remain the same, as a result of the hotel’s request, the addition of their recommended conditions of approval (contained within the CUP approval resolution) will mitigate their concerns. In addition, two residents spoke on the matter and new photographs were provided which have been included as part of the public comments for this item (attached). The applicant was present at this meeting. Since new information and evidence was presented following the close of the public hearing, the appropriate process is to re-notice a new public hearing such that the applicant, all members of the public and the Planning Commission can all review and consider all of the old and new information prior to making a final decision on this application. The Planning Commission directed staff to continue this item and schedule a new public hearing (with new noticing) for the January 21, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. Since November, staff has met with the Police Department and the applicant to discuss potential conditions of approval that could be added to the resolutions of approval to address the outstanding concerns. Those amended conditions are included here for consideration. Analysis: Consistent with the original Commission direction, the proposed resolutions have been revised to approve the CUP 19-9, in part, and Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM at an existing hotel, in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests, and denying outdoor beer and wine sale, service and consumption. The CUP resolution now also contains new conditions of approval as recommended from the City’s Police Department and to help remedy concerns from surrounding residents. The applicant has agreed to all new conditions and the draft approval resolutions as proposed. Parking Plan Resolution Modifications Parking Plan amendment 19-8 includes (1) removal of conditions 8 and 16 which are more appropriate in the CUP resolution; (2) removal of condition 11 which has been incorporated into condition 10; and (3) modifications to conditions 9 and 10 shown below, to reduce impacts to neighboring properties as well as other motel guests. All other parts of Planning Commission Resolution 16-16 remain unchanged and all parts of the proposed CUP 19-9 approval resolution shall additionally apply. Parking Plan Resolution- Page 2, Section 7, Modified Conditions 9 and 10 9. Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service (including the internal sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine) shall be available only for verified and registered hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. CUP Resolution Modified/Added Conditions The CUP resolution now includes conditions of approval as recommended from the City’s Police Department which include modification to condition 11 while adding new conditions 12 and 13 (and renumbering remaining conditions accordingly), to reduce impacts to neighboring properties as well as other motel guests. Planning Commission Resolution 16-16 shall additionally apply (as modified through the proposed Parking Plan 19-8).

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 my 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 and/or 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 dining and alcohol service area, and all other common areas of the hotel where alcohol may 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. Attached are the draft amended approval resolutions for consideration. 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 resolutions approving, in part, the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-9 request and Parking Plan Amendment 19-8 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway, and denying outdoor beer and wine sale, service and consumption; and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RESOLUTION 20-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING, IN PART, A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW ON-SITE SALE, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE INDOORS ONLY SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY 6:00 AM TO 10:00 PM AND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 6:00 AM TO 11:00 PM AT AN EXISTING HOTEL (HOTEL HERMOSA), IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXPANDED FOOD SERVICE FOR HOTEL GUESTS LOCATED AT 2515 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, AND DENYING THE REQUEST FOR OUTDOOR BEER AND WINE SALE, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION; AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Pacifica Food and Beverage, Inc., seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-9 and Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the subject application on November 19, 2019 and January 21, 2020 at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Concerns were raised due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses, incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances. Section 3. Following the November 19, 2019 public hearing, the Planning Commission directed staff to bring back revised resolutions approving the CUP and Parking Plan Amendments for indoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel on consent calendar. The requests for outdoor beer and wine were rejected for the reasons noted above. The motion carried with a 4 to 0 vote noting the recusal of Commissioner Saemann. Section 4. Notwithstanding that the public hearing had concluded, both the City’s Police Department and two members of the Planning Commission had outstanding reservations about the number of calls for service when compared to other hotels along Pacific Coast Highway and how the addition of sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only at the hotel 25 Page 2- CUP 19-9 might affect City enforcement services and the nearby residential uses (Seaview Villas). The two Commissioners disclosed that they met with the Police Department a week prior to the December 9th Planning Commission meeting to gain more information from the City’s public safety officials. Section 5. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public meeting on December 9, 2019 to consider, on consent calendar, the previously directed resolutions of approval. The City’s Police Department recommended additional conditions of approval be added to the CUP approval resolution. In addition, two residents spoke on the matter and new photographs were provided. The applicant was present at this meeting. Section 6. Since new information and evidence was presented following the close of the public hearing, the application was re-noticed for a new public hearing to allow the applicant, all members of the public and the Planning Commission to review and consider all of the old and new information prior to making a final decision on the application. The Planning Commission directed staff to continue this item and schedule a new public hearing (with new noticing) for the January 21, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. Staff met with the Police Department and the applicant to discuss conditions of approval to address the outstanding concerns. The amended conditions are included herein. Section 7. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only in conjunction with expanded ancillary food service involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Section 8. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan Amendment pursuant to the criteria in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.40.020 finding that the use as conditioned will be compatible with the surroundings and all impacts can be reduced to an insignificant level: HBMC Section 17.40.020 Conditional Use Permit general criteria for all uses: A. Distance from existing residential uses: The existing hotel is located at a major commercial intersection, Artesia Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway with commercial uses dominating Pacific Coast Highway frontage and easterly along Artesia Boulevard. A 33-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west (Seaview Villas) which is located on a General Commercial (C-3) zoned property while a 10-unit multiple family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the southwest which is located on a Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) zoned property. Additional single-family and multiple-family residences line the south side of Gould Avenue west of the subject property as well as along 24th Place, southwest of the subject property. Beer and wine service for on-site consumption, indoors only, would include service in the existing indoor bar/lounge. Food and beverages would be limited to hotel guests only and the bar/lounge would not be open to the public. 26 Page 3- CUP 19-9 Due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses (which have windows facing the outdoor area), incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances, distance from residential uses is a significant factor in this decision with respect to outdoor beer and wine. Testimony was presented that the wall separating the two uses has not fully mitigated existing noise and this existing condition should not be exacerbated by allowing beer and wine to be consumed in the outdoor area. Parking Plan Resolution 16-16 requires compliance with the following conditions of approval (with removal of conditions 8 and 16 which are more appropriate in the CUP resolution, removal of condition 11 which has been incorporated into condition 10 and to modify conditions 9 and 10 shown below) through Parking Plan amendment 19-6 to reduce impacts to neighboring properties as well as other motel guests. The Parking Plan resolution (as modified) will remain in full force and effect in addition to the new CUP resolution. 9. Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service (including the internal sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine) shall be available only for verified and registered hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. 14. No entertainment, speakers, or televisions are allowed on the exterior of the building, or in the open-air areas. No live entertainment is permitted on-site. 15. The business shall prevent loitering, unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons on the outdoor patio, outside the business, or in the immediate area. In addition, beer and wine sales, service and consumption indoors only would be limited to the hours of Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM which, in addition to project conditions, including but not limited to providing security personnel during the hours of alcohol sales, service and consumption (as determined necessary by the Police Chief), installation and maintenance of a video surveillance system in areas where alcohol may be consumed and arranging a meeting with the Police Chief on an annual basis to review the impact of the CUP, 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 71 on-site spaces. The addition of beer and wine sale, service and consumption indoors only for hotel guests only will not change the existing hotel use, will provide incidental alcohol service in conjunction with an expanded food service to those already staying at the hotel and will therefore not increase parking demand. C. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The project involves no alterations to the existing hotel building and is limited to providing food and 27 Page 4- CUP 19-9 alcoholic beverage sale, service and consumption available to guests of the hotel only. The nearest church is located to the east across Pacific Coast Highway (Hope Chapel) and the nearest public playground is west of the site on the corner of Gould Avenue and Valley Drive. 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 hotel use with a bar/lounge offering food service and non-alcoholic beverages is a permitted use in the C-3 zone and the proposed sale, service and consumption of alcohol on-site, when not in conjunction with a restaurant operation, requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The existing bar/lounge is located indoors on the first floor and within a common area and will operate from Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and since alcohol sale, service and consumption will be limited to indoors, the likelihood of potential impacts between the neighboring residential uses and the commercial hotel use are thereby reduced to an insignificant level E. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: The nearest hotel is located to the south of the subject site on Pacific Coast Highway at 15th Street (Hampton Inn and Suites). Additional hotels in the City are located on Aviation Boulevard (Quality Inn) and in the downtown area. The provision of expanded food service for hotel guests and allowance for beer and wine sales, service and consumption indoors only would be ancillary to the primary hotel use and would supplement the expanded food service made available to hotel guests. The Beach House Inn was granted a CUP for on- sale general alcohol sales in 2001 which is limited the use of in-room mini-bars and private banquet rooms used only by hotel guests. The Beach House Inn is located in the City’s Downtown District near Pier Plaza and is located a considerable distance away (approximately .7 miles), offers different alcohol service and therefore 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 early 2017 the hotel owner voluntarily extended the sound and light barrier wall further north along the west property line, adjacent to the outdoor patio, to create a sound and privacy buffer between the 33-unit multi-family residential complex to the west and the hotel. The hotel owner also wrapped both sides of the wall with artificial greenery to be more aesthetically pleasing to both hotel guests and also the neighbors to the west who are located approximately 10-12 feet from the hotel’s west property line and outdoor patio. The sound wall measures approximately 18’6” high from the parking lot (including the artificial greenery and concrete masonry wall) and approximately 10 feet high along the outdoor patio (including the artificial greenery and concrete masonry wall) and was constructed with two layers of 3/4 inch exterior grade plywood. There are precautions in place to assure compatibility with the indoor sale of beer and wine. Due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses (which have windows facing the outdoor area), incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances, distance from residential uses is a significant factor in this decision with respect to outdoor beer 28 Page 5- CUP 19-9 and wine. Testimony was presented that the wall separating the two uses has not fully mitigated existing noise and this existing condition should not be exacerbated by allowing beer and wine to be consumed in the outdoor area. The project is conditioned to require that the hotel manager and anyone involved in the sale/service of beer and wine 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. In addition, the hotel must provide security personnel during the hours of alcohol sales, service and consumption (as determined necessary by the Police Chief), install and maintain a video surveillance system in areas where alcohol may be consumed and arrange a meeting with the Police Chief on an annual basis to review the impact of the CUP, to reduce potential impacts to insignificant levels and assure compatibility of the use with surrounding uses. G. The relationship of proposed business-generated traffic volume and size of streets serving the area: Beer and wine sale, service and consumption indoors only within the bar/lounge area 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 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 hotel with beer and wine sale, service and consumption indoors only limited to no later than 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 PM Friday and Saturday 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 it not subject to the limitations contained within HBMC Section 17.40.080. The noise associated with consumption of beer and wine indoors in not anticipated to contribute to additional noise outside. The request for outdoor beer and wine is not appropriate given the existing noise experienced by neighboring residential units and this condition should not be exacerbated by intensifying the outdoor activity with beer and wine sales and consumption. The 4,838 square foot outdoor patio is located in the southwest corner of the building and faces the multiple-family residences to the west and the southwest. J. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: The City’s Police Department has concerns about activity at the hotel when compared to other similarly sized hotels in the City along Pacific Coast Highway. A report of calls for service at Hotel Hermosa, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Quality Inn from January 2018 to November 2019 is included as an attachment to the report. The City is committed to ensuring that the hotel establishment is closely monitored and the project is conditioned such that “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 29 Page 6- CUP 19-9 not able to reduce or eliminate incidents and problems at the hotel property, the Chief of Police my 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 and/or 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.” (CUP Condition No. 11). In addition, “The establishment shall install and maintain a video surveillance system in the dining and alcohol service area, and all other common areas of the hotel where alcohol may 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” (CUP Condition No. 12) and “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” (CUP Condition No. 13). The City’s Police Department in coordination with the Code Enforcement Division are committed to monitor the establishment periodically to ensure impacts are resolved and if impacts are reoccurring that the CUP and Parking Plan be brought before the Planning Commission for modification/revocation. In addition, “The Planning Commission may review this Conditional Use Permit and may amend the subject conditions or impose any new conditions if deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental effects on the neighborhood or to the public safety and welfare resulting from the subject use pursuant to the procedures for modification/revocation in the HBMC.” (CUP Condition No. 25). CUP Condition No.5 requires that the provision of alcoholic beverages shall comply with the following: 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. 30 Page 7- CUP 19-9 c. Food and beverage service shall be available only for verified registered hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. d. All alcoholic beverages shall be served in non-disposable drink ware. e. Sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine on the outdoor patio are prohibited. 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. Impacts to police services have been an issue with some late night alcohol serving facilities clustered in the downtown area. However, given the existing use is a hotel, food and beverages will only be available to hotel guests, alcohol will be limited to beer and wine indoors only and will exclude liquor, and hours for sale, service and consumption of alcohol are limited, the request is not anticipated to impact City services. 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 9. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby denies the request for a conditional use permit for outdoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, at an existing hotel, pursuant to HBMC Section 17.40. As explained above, outdoor beer and wine sale, service and consumption at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa) is incompatible with CUP criteria A. Distance from existing residential uses; D. The combination of uses proposed; and I. Noise,…that may be generated by the proposed use. The hotel establishment is located in very close proximity to adjacent residential uses. A 33-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west while a 10-unit multiple family residential complex also neighbors the subject property to the southwest. The residents to the west are located approximately 10-12 feet from the hotel’s west property line and outdoor patio. The 4,838 square foot outdoor patio is located in the southwest corner of the building and faces the multiple-family residences to the west and the southwest. The neighbors have testified that noise from existing activities on the patio exists and the condition should not be exacerbated by intensifying outdoor activity with alcohol use. The Planning Commission denies, in part, CUP 19-9 finding that the request for outdoor beer and wine sale, service and consumption within the 4,838 square foot patio Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM would result in increased potential for alcohol related noise and nuisance concerns due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses and incompatibility of uses. 31 Page 8- CUP 19-9 Section 10. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves, in part, the request for Conditional Use Permit 19-9, approving indoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel, subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The use consisting of a hotel with on-sale beer and wine service indoors only and the site and building shall be substantially consistent with plans and modified approval by the Planning Commission on January 21, 2020. The Community Development Director shall review and may approve minor modifications that do not otherwise conflict with the Municipal Code or requirements of this approval, provided that the use is not changed, intensity of use is not increased and the arrangement of space would not increase negative impacts. Any substantial deviation, changes to the floor plan, site plan, building exterior or addition to the hours which alter the primary function of the use as a hotel shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. 2. Parking Plan P.C. Resolutions 16-16 (as amended through P.C. Resolution 20-XX) shall additionally apply. 3. On-sale, service and consumption of beer and wine shall be limited to indoors only Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests only. 4. Food service shall be available during all hours alcoholic beverages are served on the site. 5. The provision of alcoholic beverages shall comply with the following: 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 verified registered hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. d. All alcoholic beverages shall be served in non-disposable drink ware. e. Sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine on the outdoor patio are prohibited. 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. 32 Page 9- CUP 19-9 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. 6. Live entertainment and customer dancing are prohibited (including amplified music, disc jockeys, live music whether acoustic or amplified, and live performances of all kinds) per Section 17.04.050, (“Entertainment, Live”), with the exception of administratively approved Temporary Minor Special Event Permits and Limited Live Entertainment Permits in conformance with HBMC Sections 17.42.150 and 17.42.190. a. Entertainment, music, speakers, televisions, or audio or visual media of any type, whether amplified or unamplified, shall be prohibited on the exterior of the building, in the open-air areas and within the outdoor patio. 7. The establishment shall not adversely affect the welfare of the residents, and/or commercial establishments nearby. 8. The business shall prevent unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons on the outdoor patio, outside the business, or in the immediate area. 9. Noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City's Noise Ordinance (Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 8.24) and shall not create a nuisance to surrounding residential neighborhoods, and/or commercial establishments. 10. The exterior of the premises shall be maintained in a neat and clean manner, and maintained free of graffiti at all times. 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 my 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.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PARKING PLAN AMENDMENT TO MODIFY CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL IN CONJUNCTION WITH APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW ON-SITE SALE, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE INDOORS AT AN EXISTING HOTEL (HOTEL HERMOSA), IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXPANDED FOOD SERVICE FOR HOTEL GUESTS LOCATED AT 2515 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Pacifica Food and Beverage, Inc., seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-9 and Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the subject application on November 19, 2019 and January 21, 2020 at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Concerns were raised due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses, incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances. Section 3. Following the November 19, 2019 public hearing, the Planning Commission directed staff to bring back revised resolutions approving the CUP and Parking Plan Amendments for indoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel on consent calendar. The requests for outdoor beer and wine were rejected for the reasons noted above. The motion carried with a 4 to 0 vote noting the recusal of Commissioner Saemann. Section 4. Notwithstanding that the public hearing had concluded, both the City’s Police Department and two members of the Planning Commission had outstanding reservations about the number of calls for service when compared to other hotels along Pacific Coast Highway and how the addition of sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only at the hotel might affect City enforcement services and the nearby residential uses (Seaview Villas). The two Commissioners disclosed that they met with the Police Department a week prior to the December 9th Planning Commission meeting to gain more information from the City’s public safety officials. 38 2- Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 Section 5. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public meeting on December 9, 2019 to consider, on consent calendar, the previously directed resolutions of approval. The City’s Police Department recommended additional conditions of approval be added to the CUP approval resolution. In addition, two residents spoke on the matter and new photographs were provided. The applicant was present at this meeting. Section 6. Since new information and evidence was presented following the close of the public hearing, the application was re-noticed for a new public hearing to allow the applicant, all members of the public and the Planning Commission to review and consider all of the old and new information prior to making a final decision on the application. The Planning Commission directed staff to continue this item and schedule a new public hearing (with new noticing) for the January 21, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. Staff met with the Police Department and the applicant to discuss conditions of approval to address the outstanding concerns. The amended conditions are included herein. Section 7. The subject project was granted a discretionary Parking Plan in June of 2016 (Planning Commission Resolution 16-16). Section 8. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors only in conjunction with expanded ancillary food service involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Section 9. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an amendment to a Parking Plan to account for indoor sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine, as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution 16-16, to (1) remove conditions 8 and 16 (which are more appropriate in the CUP); (2) remove condition 11 which has been incorporated into condition 10; and (3) to modify conditions 9-10 (and to renumber accordingly) to read as follows. 9. Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service (including the internal sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine) shall be available only for verified and registered hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. The request for outdoor sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine was denied in Planning Commission Resolution No. 20-XX and the request to amend the Parking Plan is derivative of the request for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine. As a result of the denial of outdoor beer and wine, the Parking Plan Amendment need only reflect the in door sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine. All other parts of Planning Commission Resolution 16-16 remain unchanged except as expressly amended herein and all parts of CUP 19-9 (Planning Commission Resolution 20-XX) shall additionally apply. 39 3- Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 Section 10. This permit shall not be effective for any purposes until the permittee and the owners of the property involved have filed at the office of the Planning Division of the Community Development Department their affidavits stating that they are aware of, and agree to accept, all of the conditions of this permit. The Parking Plan Amendment shall be recorded, and proof of recordation shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to implementing alcohol service. Each of the above conditions is separately enforced, and if one of the conditions of approval is found to be invalid by a court of law, all the other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. To the extent permitted by law, Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Hermosa Beach, its City Council, its officers, employees and agents (the “indemnified parties”) from and against any claim, action, or proceeding brought by a third party against the indemnified parties and the applicant to attack, set aside, or void any permit or approval for this project authorized by the City, including (without limitation) reimbursing the City its actual attorney’s fees and costs in defense of the litigation. The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to defend any such action with attorneys of its choice. The permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney's fees which the City ma y be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this permit. Although the permittee is the real party in interest in an action, the City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of the action, but such participation shall not relieve the permittee of any obligation under this condition. Section 11. Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6, any legal challenge to the decision of the Planning Commission, after exhaustion of any available administrative remedies, must be made within 90 days after the final decision by the City. The Hermosa Beach City Council may on its own initiative review all actions of the planning commission. If the City Council does not initiate review of this decision as set forth in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 2.52.040, this decision will become final.

We are, unfortunately, two rather incompatible uses forced to exist side by side. While we appreciate the efforts and expense that the owners have undertaken in order to mitigate the existing situation, we are still faced with a noise control issue, which would only get worse with the introduction of indoor and outdoor beer and wine service as described in the hotel’s CUP application. A while back, the hotel's renovation project changed the quiet, outdoor Japanese garden - of many years - into a 4,800 sq. ft. game area patio (“The Yard”) with pool tables, a bocce ball court, games, and fire pits with lounge seating. This more intensive use of the property generated significantly higher noise levels than those we had previously experienced. It seriously disturbed our residents' peaceful enjoyment of their homes since many are only 16' away from the patio. In a gesture to mitigate the noise level, the hotel built a landscaped, buffer wall along the west side of their patio and the driveway. It was installed primarily as a visual barrier (after Sea View Villas Residents frequently saw, and reported, hotel guests drinking illegally in “The Yard”), but does little to reduce the noise. “The Yard” has seating for more than 70 people, with a permitted occupancy of 323 people. Sea View Villas homeowners are concerned because the hotel owner had expressed to us that the 63 property was purchased, and “The Yard” developed, in order to be able to host large outdoor events. One third of our units, eleven in total, are at the upper level close to this patio and are affected by the noise, EVEN WITHOUT LARGE EVENTS. SVV HOA feels it necessary to continue to oppose Commission approval of any CUP application, since we cannot support the sale of alcohol, on the Hotel Hermosa site. Yours Truly Sea View Villas Homeowners Association cc: Stacey Armato (Mayor) Mary Campbell (Mayor Pro Tem) Jeff Duclos Hany Fangary Justin Massey Ken Robertson 64 1 SEA VIEW VILLAS, 736 GOULD AVE. – COMMENTS OF OWNERS TO PLANNING COMMISSION (8 pages total) RE: Hotel Hermosa's Application for a Beer and Wine CUP David Sherwood. Nov. 10, 2019 We are homeowners at 736 Gould Avenue, Unit 32, and my 7-year old son's room is directly across from the hotel's back patio (approximately 16’) where the commission is now considering allowing alcohol sales and consumption. We strongly OPPOSE any liquor license for a variety of reasons, most notably that the hours contemplated for the sale and consumption of liquor exactly coincide with the time my son is going to sleep (8PM) or while he is supposed to be sleeping. There is already intermittent noise / music from the Hotel Hermosa back patio, especially on summer nights when our windows are necessarily open, and clearly allowing alcohol will not only increase the volume and frequency of the noise, but also how late it will go. Moreover, given the open nature of the back patio, even IF the hotel really did cut off alcohol at the hours they say, the noise would likely stretch much later given the party atmosphere it would create. There are plenty of bars and venues in Hermosa Beach that are far removed from our large community filled with families with young kids and there is no need to add another right adjacent to a residential community. Finally, I want to add this is NOT a case of NIMBY'ism, or in any way suggesting a change in current policy. Quite the contrary, everyone who owns or leases in this complex has done so under the current situation where the hotel has been denied a liquor license for the obvious nuisance it would cause. I implore you not to undermine the peaceful relationship between the hotel and the residents adjacent, simply to allow the hotel owners to increase their profits. Sincerely, David, Ayako, and Forest Sherwood - Unit 32 ______________________________________________________________________________ 65 2 Ingrid Jodele. Nov. 10, 2019 I am from Unit 4 at the very bottom of the buildings. I think that anyone who lives in Hermosa realizes that we are jam packed together and we all have a responsibility to be good neighbors. A business establishment that sells alcohol makes that very hard. It's like having a party next door every evening. This should not be allowed. Ingrid Jodele Gelareh Armandpour. Nov. 11, 2019 Good morning, I’m from unit # 30. I am very afraid that the value of my property will decrease as a result of this proposal. Nobody I know wants their family to be raised near an establishment that serves alcohol and has a party atmosphere! This would not serve our residential community that is very much family oriented! _______________________________________________________________________ Al Baruch.

We are strongly opposed to alcohol being served next to our homes and quite literally backed up to and on top of some of our residence City zoning was established to protect homeowner and protect businesses in their proper locations. Bars and Restaurants are in certain areas of a city a decent distance from homes - people’s sanctuaries. To arrive 30 years later and decide to change that is preposterous. Clearly if approved this will significantly impede on residence rightful expectation of peace and privacy. This is slippery slope that once allowed with grow into music on the patio, weddings, Bachelorette parties. It’s a great idea- just needs to be somewhere else - not next door to families and residents who have lived here for 30+ years. Thank you. ___________________________________________________________________- 66 3 Patrick Marona. Nov. 11, 2019 City of Hermosa Beach: I STRONGLY OPPOSE the issue of a liquor license to the Hotel Hermosa. This would cause way too much noise as we are just a few feet away. This would also decrease our property values. Patrick Marona Unit 18 ______________________________________________________________________ Rosemary Reinhardt. Nov. 11, 2019 I am Rosemary Reinhardt & my husband, Robert & I own & reside at Sea View Villas, unit 29. Our unit is on the upper level, east side, facing Hotel Hermosa. Our kitchen & one of our bedrooms face the hotel. We hear the thud, thud, thud of the hotel guests playing cornhole quite often. As far as I know, the game is set up directly behind the wall which borders our property line. The thud is usually followed by loud screams & cheers, etc. I’m all for people having fun but combine that activity with beer & wine & that sounds like a tailgate experience right outside of our bedroom window. Therefore, we strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. _______________________________________________________________ Brian Anstey. Nov. 11, 2019 My wife and I own Unit # 23, on the Upper Level, and are directly affected by our proximity to the hotel. We strongly agree with our fellow owners that the introduction of alcohol sales will contribute to raising the noise levels not only on the patio, but also from the pool area, and increase the negative effects on our rights to peace and privacy. We, therefore, strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Brian & Ita Anstey _____________________________________________________________________ Deborah Torres. Nov. 11, 2019 I own unit #33, on the upper level directly behind the hotel. The wall that the Hotel added has stopped the hotel guests' car lights from shining into my windows, but unfortunately the noise from the patio for most of the year is still loud and disruptive. I have been woken up countless times late or in the middle of the night from Hotel guests who seemingly have come back from local bars and are 67 4 continuing their party outside our windows. This occurs most weekends and several times each week during warm months. Although the hotel assured us that they would monitor their guests to avoid this type of disturbance, they have yet to do so. The hotel guests already drink outside, which we can see when they sit along the patio ledge with their beer and wine bottles. The sale of alcohol added to this, combined with the large number of people permitted to be on the patio, would significantly worsen the noise problem that has occurred since Hotel Hermosa created a large social space on their patio outside our bedroom windows. I strongly oppose the Hotel getting a CUP to allow the sale and consumption of beer and wine, both indoors and outdoors. _____________________________________________________________________ Rakhshanda Javed-Ghaffar. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit 26 directly behind Hotel Hermosa. I oppose the issuance of a liquor license due to the disturbance of residents living in Sea View Villas especially those units directly parallel to the hotel. There is already noise that transcends from the pool area and back walkway when guests are at the hotel. Allowing alcohol sales would increase the noise in addition to the rowdiness of guests who may become overly intoxicated. Due to these reasons, I oppose the license to sell alcohol of any kind at Hotel Hermosa. Ruby Javed _______________________________________________________________ Kevin Carney. Nov. 11, 2019 We are Unit 8 (Kevin and Vanessa Carney), we oppose this request. This permit to provide the sale and consumption of alcohol is detrimental to the community that exists at Sea View Villas. As it currently stands, residents at Sea View Villas are suffering from noise levels and adding a late-night permit with alcohol will only make it worse. Young residents should not have to witness that environment while they attempt to sleep in their homes. The city should be willing to understand that the selfish desire of the hotel owners to seek additional revenues comes at a major cost, both financially and socially, to a large community. Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________ 68 5 Robert Irrera. Nov. 11, 2019 Against the issuance of a Permit to serve Beer & Wine to The Hotel Hermosa due to the very close proximity of the adjacent Units’ 2 small East Facing bedrooms. These bedrooms are generally used by the households children who would now be 16 feet away from an active Bar / Social Club ! Robert Irrera Unit # 10 ________________________________________________________________ Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki. Nov. 11, 2019 We live in Unit 31 which is only 20 feet away from the patio where alcohol would be consumed if this permit was granted. We strongly oppose the approval. I am sure no one from the city council would like having a bar 20 feet from their bedrooms. This was already turned down once by the city. Nothing has changed. Please turn it down again. Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki _____________________________________________________________________________ Liz Romo. Nov. 11, 2019 Hello - Quite frankly, the granting of the license to the hotel would create a severe “nuisance in fact” and impede my right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of my property - which is my home. Not to mention the fact that I’ve personally witnessed teenagers sneaking into the pool area countless of times...propping doors open by the pool! It is obvious that hotel owner can’t control that issue, so how will they control the loud noise and potential underage drinking that may result from the granting of a liquor license? Has the city considered the budgetary impacts on city resources, such as the Hermosa Beach Police Department to manage and control the number of complaints that will surely arise from this? The answer is simple: the only way to Keep Hermosa, Hermosa is to keep the bars away from residential neighbors such as those living in Sea View Villas. Liz Romo Unit #15 _____________________________________________________________ 69 6 Kate and Tim Bruning. Nov. 11, 2019 We live at Sea View Villas in unit 25, which is on the upper level, directly on the other side of the fence from Hotel Hermosa. We have a 9 year old and are already often kept awake by the noise from the pool area. Management of the hotel does not seem to care about the level of noise that occurs at their hotel We have called on more than one occasion when we felt the noise level at the pool has been excessive, and no action is ever taken. I often have to close the kitchen or bedroom windows when someone is having a conversation on their cell phone or smoking on the walkway next to Hotel Hermosa on the other side of the fence. That is how close our windows are to the hotel property. The noise levels would increase exponentially if alcohol is permitted to be sold at the hotel and on the back patio. This is not the proper location for what would essentially be an outdoor bar. We strongly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect the rights of the surrounding residents and reject this request. Thank you, Kate and Tim Bruning Unit 25 _________________________________________________________________ Heidi Swan. Nov. 11, 2019 We oppose The Hotel Hermosa's request to serve alcohol. It is an unfair burden on residents of Sea View Villas to have alcohol & all of the added noise that comes with it only feet away from children who need their sleep. The noise resonates. Heidi Swan, Unit #6 ________________________________________________________________________ Ali Navab. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in unit No. 13 and we strongly oppose Hotel Hermosa‘s Application to serve Alcohol ,which will create lots of noise and this will reduce the value of our property. The new Conditional use Application should not apply in this case because it causes excess burden on the others. _______________________________________________________________ 70 7 Henry Mothner. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit #9 at Sea View Villas. I have serious concerns regarding the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment requested by Hotel Hermosa. I frequently take evening walks in the neighborhood and there is always loud noise coming from the hotel and pool area. This will only be exacerbated by allowing the on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine at Hotel Hermosa. I strongly urge the City of Hermosa Beach to deny this request. Henry Mothner Unit #9 _______________________________________________________________ Houman Solomon. Nov. 12, 2019 We have had significant noise issues at the hotel since the current owners took over. My kitchen window, front door and one bedroom face the hotel patio directly. Noise from hotel patio is an everyday occurrence. Summer time is particularly worse since we need windows to stay open and the hotel has more guests. I have had to call the hotel front desk numerous times to complain about noise. I have also had to call the Hermosa beach police department when the management don't respond promptly. The hotel looks the other way when guests drink alcoholic beverages in the patio. In fact, the front desk tells the guests where to buy alcohol in the neighborhood. I know this because I went and ask the front desk myself!! The hotel is surrounded by residential units and that must be respected. We tolerate a lot of noise from hotel guests playing games, talking loud on the balconies and drinking alcohol (despite the rules) at all times of day and night. Serving alcohol on their patio will add significant noise and is completely unfair to those of us living next to the hotel. Houman Solomon Unit 30 ______________________________________________________________________ Ronit Larone. Nov. 12, 2019 Sea View Villas has been my family’s home for over 20 years. It’s a peaceful oasis and community where many of us have raised, or are currently raising our children. Others of us are retired, others work long days all over LA and look forward to resting quietly once back home. If Hotel Hermosa is allowed to sell alcohol and invite large gatherings from dawn to close, the additional noise alone will greatly disturb us all and negatively impact our daily life. The proposed location would keep the children and parents alike, who live on the upper level, awake at night. There's an additional risk of bar patrons "hanging out" after the bar closes and being very loud outside of the hotel on Gould Ave or additional areas where more of our units are facing. We (Unit #11) adamantly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, 71 8 service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect our community and the families who live and sleep mere feet away from the Hotel Hermosa patio and reject this request. Thank you, Ronit Larone, Unit # 11 ________________________________________________________________________ Jerry Gelbwachs. Nov. 11,2019 I am a long time resident of Seaview Villas. One of the attractive features of living in the complex is the quietness. Even though it is near PCH there is very little street noise that penetrates the units. I am afraid that allowing late night noise from the hotel which abuts our complex would add additional noise that would negatively affect our tranquillity. Additionally it would reduce our property values. Hence I am strongly against the CPU. Jerry Gelbwachs, unit 20 72 670 Gould Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254 November 13, 2019 Planning Comissioners City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION TO DENY CUP 19-9 & PARK 19-6 CUP and PARKING PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST TO PROVIDE ONSITE and OUTDOORS SALE, SERVICE and CONSUMPTION of BEER and WINE AT AN EXISTING 81 ROOM HOTEL AT 2515 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (HOTEL HERMOSA) Dear City Planning Commissioners: As addressed in my previous October 12, 2015, February 6 and August 20, 2016 letters to the city's planning Commission when Hotel Hermosa Remodel was first presented at October 20, 2015 meeting; my primary and only concern with the proposed project was and still is the lack of existing code-required onsite parking for the hotel's current use. This hotel currently (since the remodel 3 years ago) still has only 64 onsite parking stalls for 81 rooms of hotel guests, 3 onsite ADA parking stalls for disabled Guests (unclear if any of these three ADA spaces is van-accessible as required by Title 24) and 4 parking stalls outside the main hotel door, two of which are clearly marked "Registration Only" and the other two of which are marked "Compact"............. I might also again mention that the underground parking garage appears to have been totally ignored during the $4.5M upgrade. They did not even bother to freshen up the striping of the parking spaces! The garage continues to still look extremely dirty and neglected. City's Municipal Code Section 17.44.030 Off-street parking--Commercial and business uses.  Required Number of Spaces by Use. The aggregate amount of off-street automobile parking spaces provided for various uses shall not be less than the following: 73 Page 2 of 2 Hermosa Beach Hotel Appeal November 13, 2019 H. Hotels: one (1) space for each unit for the first fifty (50) units; one (1) space per one (1) and one-half (1/2) units after fifty (50); (Equates to 71 off- street spaces required for Hermosa Beach Hotel under it's current use) It should also be noted that a number of the aforementioned 64 parking spaces appear to be continuously/regularly occupied by hotel staff and/or hotel contractors/maintenance personnel? Over the last 16 years; it is quite noticeable whenever Hermosa Hotel holds a "function" in their hotel such as the Chamber of Commerce parties. The overflow of function attendees' cars spill onto the south-side of Gould Avenue all the way from PCH to Ardmore Avenue very often encroaching onto residents' driveways. Please do not approve any CUP and Parking Plan Amendment that does not include a)the required number of correctly dimensioned onsite guest parking spaces for the hotel (71) in addition to b)the required number of correctly dimensioned onsite ADA guest parking spaces (auto and van- accessible) in addition to any separately c)"hotel-required" reserved parking and/or registration spaces for hotel employees/contractors and/or hotel operations. I would also like to bring to your attention the fact that yet again (as is typical with Hermosa Beach notifications) I did not receive notice of this upcoming meeting until Friday November 9, less than a week before the scheduled Planning Commission meeting on November 15 and hence did not have sufficient time to have this letter included in your package.

We are strongly opposed to alcohol being served next to our homes and quite literally backed up to and on top of some of our residence City zoning was established to protect homeowner and protect businesses in their proper locations. Bars and Restaurants are in certain areas of a city a decent distance from homes - people’s sanctuaries. To arrive 30 years later and decide to change that is preposterous. Clearly if approved this will significantly impede on residence rightful expectation of peace and privacy. This is slippery slope that once allowed with grow into music on the patio, weddings, Bachelorette parties. It’s a great idea- just needs to be somewhere else - not next door to families and residents who have lived here for 30+ years. Thank you. ___________________________________________________________________- 95 3 Patrick Marona. Nov. 11, 2019 City of Hermosa Beach: I STRONGLY OPPOSE the issue of a liquor license to the Hotel Hermosa. This would cause way too much noise as we are just a few feet away. This would also decrease our property values. Patrick Marona Unit 18 ______________________________________________________________________ Rosemary Reinhardt. Nov. 11, 2019 I am Rosemary Reinhardt & my husband, Robert & I own & reside at Sea View Villas, unit 29. Our unit is on the upper level, east side, facing Hotel Hermosa. Our kitchen & one of our bedrooms face the hotel. We hear the thud, thud, thud of the hotel guests playing cornhole quite often. As far as I know, the game is set up directly behind the wall which borders our property line. The thud is usually followed by loud screams & cheers, etc. I’m all for people having fun but combine that activity with beer & wine & that sounds like a tailgate experience right outside of our bedroom window. Therefore, we strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. _______________________________________________________________ Brian Anstey. Nov. 11, 2019 My wife and I own Unit # 23, on the Upper Level, and are directly affected by our proximity to the hotel. We strongly agree with our fellow owners that the introduction of alcohol sales will contribute to raising the noise levels not only on the patio, but also from the pool area, and increase the negative effects on our rights to peace and privacy. We, therefore, strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Brian & Ita Anstey _____________________________________________________________________ Deborah Torres. Nov. 11, 2019 I own unit #33, on the upper level directly behind the hotel. The wall that the Hotel added has stopped the hotel guests' car lights from shining into my windows, but unfortunately the noise from the patio for most of the year is still loud and disruptive. I have been woken up countless times late or in the middle of the night from Hotel guests who seemingly have come back from local bars and are 96 4 continuing their party outside our windows. This occurs most weekends and several times each week during warm months. Although the hotel assured us that they would monitor their guests to avoid this type of disturbance, they have yet to do so. The hotel guests already drink outside, which we can see when they sit along the patio ledge with their beer and wine bottles. The sale of alcohol added to this, combined with the large number of people permitted to be on the patio, would significantly worsen the noise problem that has occurred since Hotel Hermosa created a large social space on their patio outside our bedroom windows. I strongly oppose the Hotel getting a CUP to allow the sale and consumption of beer and wine, both indoors and outdoors. _____________________________________________________________________ Rakhshanda Javed-Ghaffar. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit 26 directly behind Hotel Hermosa. I oppose the issuance of a liquor license due to the disturbance of residents living in Sea View Villas especially those units directly parallel to the hotel. There is already noise that transcends from the pool area and back walkway when guests are at the hotel. Allowing alcohol sales would increase the noise in addition to the rowdiness of guests who may become overly intoxicated. Due to these reasons, I oppose the license to sell alcohol of any kind at Hotel Hermosa. Ruby Javed _______________________________________________________________ Kevin Carney. Nov. 11, 2019 We are Unit 8 (Kevin and Vanessa Carney), we oppose this request. This permit to provide the sale and consumption of alcohol is detrimental to the community that exists at Sea View Villas. As it currently stands, residents at Sea View Villas are suffering from noise levels and adding a late-night permit with alcohol will only make it worse. Young residents should not have to witness that environment while they attempt to sleep in their homes. The city should be willing to understand that the selfish desire of the hotel owners to seek additional revenues comes at a major cost, both financially and socially, to a large community. Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________ 97 5 Robert Irrera. Nov. 11, 2019 Against the issuance of a Permit to serve Beer & Wine to The Hotel Hermosa due to the very close proximity of the adjacent Units’ 2 small East Facing bedrooms. These bedrooms are generally used by the households children who would now be 16 feet away from an active Bar / Social Club ! Robert Irrera Unit # 10 ________________________________________________________________ Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki. Nov. 11, 2019 We live in Unit 31 which is only 20 feet away from the patio where alcohol would be consumed if this permit was granted. We strongly oppose the approval. I am sure no one from the city council would like having a bar 20 feet from their bedrooms. This was already turned down once by the city. Nothing has changed. Please turn it down again. Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki _____________________________________________________________________________ Liz Romo. Nov. 11, 2019 Hello - Quite frankly, the granting of the license to the hotel would create a severe “nuisance in fact” and impede my right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of my property - which is my home. Not to mention the fact that I’ve personally witnessed teenagers sneaking into the pool area countless of times...propping doors open by the pool! It is obvious that hotel owner can’t control that issue, so how will they control the loud noise and potential underage drinking that may result from the granting of a liquor license? Has the city considered the budgetary impacts on city resources, such as the Hermosa Beach Police Department to manage and control the number of complaints that will surely arise from this? The answer is simple: the only way to Keep Hermosa, Hermosa is to keep the bars away from residential neighbors such as those living in Sea View Villas. Liz Romo Unit #15 _____________________________________________________________ 98 6 Kate and Tim Bruning. Nov. 11, 2019 We live at Sea View Villas in unit 25, which is on the upper level, directly on the other side of the fence from Hotel Hermosa. We have a 9 year old and are already often kept awake by the noise from the pool area. Management of the hotel does not seem to care about the level of noise that occurs at their hotel We have called on more than one occasion when we felt the noise level at the pool has been excessive, and no action is ever taken. I often have to close the kitchen or bedroom windows when someone is having a conversation on their cell phone or smoking on the walkway next to Hotel Hermosa on the other side of the fence. That is how close our windows are to the hotel property. The noise levels would increase exponentially if alcohol is permitted to be sold at the hotel and on the back patio. This is not the proper location for what would essentially be an outdoor bar. We strongly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect the rights of the surrounding residents and reject this request. Thank you, Kate and Tim Bruning Unit 25 _________________________________________________________________ Heidi Swan. Nov. 11, 2019 We oppose The Hotel Hermosa's request to serve alcohol. It is an unfair burden on residents of Sea View Villas to have alcohol & all of the added noise that comes with it only feet away from children who need their sleep. The noise resonates. Heidi Swan, Unit #6 ________________________________________________________________________ Ali Navab. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in unit No. 13 and we strongly oppose Hotel Hermosa‘s Application to serve Alcohol ,which will create lots of noise and this will reduce the value of our property. The new Conditional use Application should not apply in this case because it causes excess burden on the others. _______________________________________________________________ 99 7 Henry Mothner. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit #9 at Sea View Villas. I have serious concerns regarding the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment requested by Hotel Hermosa. I frequently take evening walks in the neighborhood and there is always loud noise coming from the hotel and pool area. This will only be exacerbated by allowing the on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine at Hotel Hermosa. I strongly urge the City of Hermosa Beach to deny this request. Henry Mothner Unit #9 _______________________________________________________________ Houman Solomon. Nov. 12, 2019 We have had significant noise issues at the hotel since the current owners took over. My kitchen window, front door and one bedroom face the hotel patio directly. Noise from hotel patio is an everyday occurrence. Summer time is particularly worse since we need windows to stay open and the hotel has more guests. I have had to call the hotel front desk numerous times to complain about noise. I have also had to call the Hermosa beach police department when the management don't respond promptly. The hotel looks the other way when guests drink alcoholic beverages in the patio. In fact, the front desk tells the guests where to buy alcohol in the neighborhood. I know this because I went and ask the front desk myself!! The hotel is surrounded by residential units and that must be respected. We tolerate a lot of noise from hotel guests playing games, talking loud on the balconies and drinking alcohol (despite the rules) at all times of day and night. Serving alcohol on their patio will add significant noise and is completely unfair to those of us living next to the hotel. Houman Solomon Unit 30 ______________________________________________________________________ Ronit Larone. Nov. 12, 2019 Sea View Villas has been my family’s home for over 20 years. It’s a peaceful oasis and community where many of us have raised, or are currently raising our children. Others of us are retired, others work long days all over LA and look forward to resting quietly once back home. If Hotel Hermosa is allowed to sell alcohol and invite large gatherings from dawn to close, the additional noise alone will greatly disturb us all and negatively impact our daily life. The proposed location would keep the children and parents alike, who live on the upper level, awake at night. There's an additional risk of bar patrons "hanging out" after the bar closes and being very loud outside of the hotel on Gould Ave or additional areas where more of our units are facing. We (Unit #11) adamantly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, 100 8 service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect our community and the families who live and sleep mere feet away from the Hotel Hermosa patio and reject this request. Thank you, Ronit Larone, Unit # 11 ________________________________________________________________________ Jerry Gelbwachs. Nov. 11,2019 I am a long time resident of Seaview Villas. One of the attractive features of living in the complex is the quietness. Even though it is near PCH there is very little street noise that penetrates the units. I am afraid that allowing late night noise from the hotel which abuts our complex would add additional noise that would negatively affect our tranquillity. Additionally it would reduce our property values. Hence I am strongly against the CPU.

Meeting: Planning Commission Item: 11. REPORT 19-0780 CUP 19-9 & PARK 19-6- Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment request to provide on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa) located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). eComment: Good evening members. I am sorry I could not attend in person as this request is a material concern that will have an immediate negative impact on my family's well being...and will effect us every single day and, even worse, every night. The weight of such impact I hope is not being overlooked by the Commission members who are not the ones that will be impacted. Please, truly consider the weight of what you are considering...and what is gained vs lost…and who gains vs who loses. We are a family with two young children and we strongly oppose any consideration for the subject use permit. This permit serves NO COMMUNITY BENEFIT, while simultaneously causing a significant detriment to its neighboring homeowners. It is a ridiculous argument to suggest that allowing the hotel to serve alcohol would not directly increase the number of people, the amount of time people hang out at the hotel, noise, smoking, foul language, etc. The Planning Commission needs to recognize that this specific hotel design and layout is DIFFERENT than a normal hotel, and as such nothing about their request is “routine.” This hotel’s primary outdoor space is literally touching a residential home community with several families consisting of young children. This hotel’s outdoor activity space layout is uncommon. If this hotel was to be built today, there is no way the developer or the city would ever approve such a design. If there was an outdoor activity space it would be designed to have it face either PCH or Artesia/Gould. I am sure there is a history as to why a hotel was designed this way next to residential homes, but, whatever that story is, we are a much more experienced and thoughtful community today. As an example, the owner, Pacifica Hotels, also owns or manages the The Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach. Although this hotel has neighboring residences, they are 1) across the street and 2) the outdoor activity space faces PCH and the adjacent commercial building...thereby shielding the residences from the issues we are discussing today. The layout of Hotel Hermosa is DIFFERENT and the uniqueness of its issues cannot be ignored or treated as normal course of business. The owners bought the hotel knowing there was no alcohol being served. We purchased our homes to raise our family knowing that the hotel did not serve alcohol and, in fact, used to be a peaceful Japanese garden. It was disappointing when the new owners removed the Japanese garden, but I understand why and that was their right. I was disappointed in how they ended up designing the outdoor space to include loud games and offered seating underneath our windows...this simply showed a lack of respect, but was still their 123 right. However, serving alcohol is not their right! It would be a “spit in the face” to give them such right when there is no public benefit and it literally will further exacerbate an already challenging issue for multiple families that abut their property. Hermosa Beach as a community will be in no way negatively impacted by rejecting this request. If approved, however, a material part of the community will absolutely be negatively affected. Maybe I am naïve, but it would seem that the efforts of our elected city officials should be to help and protect against unnecessary nuisance...not taking steps to increase it. The hotel does not “need” this; the City of Hermosa does not “need” this. So why is it so important to help a private company, operating a hotel well outside the Downtown and Pier locations, increase their profits at the cost of our daily livelihood? There is always some opposition to change and the Planning Commission has the daunting task of having to thoughtfully build out our community needs with the underlying consideration of the impact on the residents. This is not a case of NIMBYism. We are the residents who would truly lose safety, health and right to peaceful living. This is not a hotel like any other…this is a special situation. Please have some consideration for the many families will be directly impacted every single day and every single night. This is DIFFERENT and needs to be treated as such. __________________________________________________________________________________________ From: noreply@granicusideas.com [mailto:noreply@granicusideas.com] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2019 4:59 AM To: DG_PlanningCommission <DG_PlanningCommission@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission New eComment for Planning Commission Vanessa D submitted a new eComment.

I am an owner and a mother that lives next door to the Hotel Hermosa. I am not able to attend the hearing because I have to watch my children. I read the hotel’s CUP request and I want to make sure you know that is filled with lies. They say they have worked with the 124 surrounding community, but they have not. And the wall they mentioned did help two owners with driveway lights, but the wall was only put up after we were able to regularly take videos and photos of all the problems we were having. The wall did not serve our benefit, but only theirs. So you can understand a little bit of what we deal with today. To this date, the owners of Hotel Hermosa have failed to control even the most basic issues like smoking on the patio and excessive noise. It is a regular occurrence that their guests smoke cigarettes and throw the cigarette butts over the fence to my front door. The smoke itself is so close it flows directly into my home, specifically directly into my kitchen and directly into my children's bedroom! The hotel has been unable to manage even the tiniest smoke problem area. It is common for guests to throw their cigarette butts over the fence where they land in my front door. My youngest at one time put a cigarette butt in his mouth because he thought it was gum. The issue is an almost daily occurrence. Even today, the noise at the hotel continues late at night and wakes up my children. My kids also hear profanity and inappropriate conversations from the guests (this is how close we are). I can't tell you how many times my children have been awoken late at night by the screaming. We spent years calling the police who were unable to do anything and told us they could not enforce anything on private property. I sometimes yell at the guests directly to quit and leave. I often call the hotel directly and ask for help. I doubt the hotel shares this with the police. The hotel has already proved they do not care about us. They installed some of the loudest possible games outside our windows and they literally lined the wall facing our home with chairs and seating. This is a really big deal because it happens every day and every night, and if you add alcohol it will only get worse. Recently there was some opposition to re-opening the North School campus from the neighbors. Their main concern was that they would be negatively impacted by traffic. Without meaning to belittle their concerns, such traffic nuisance is limited to daytime hours and often with only a couple of hours of high impact. Otherwise those neighbors will be able to sleep at night and they do not have to worry about evening noise, cigarette smoke, trash, foul language at all times of the night. And it was for schools to help our kids. This request is for drinking alcohol which definitely does not help our kids. I do not understand how the Planning Commission can already be considering approving this request when no one has come to talk to us. The hotel says they have, but they haven’t. I understand why they don’t want to talk to us. We chose to live in a quiet area away from the bars and we do not want our peace ruined. But shouldn’t members of the Planning Commission meet with us to better understand what we are suffering through now and what we are concerned about? 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 8.

The 3,298.5 square foot lot contains two units with the entirety of the front of the lot providing parking access from Bard Street. There is no established sidewalk on Bard Street. Parking for the existing two-unit building is accessed via a concrete driveway from Bard Street leading to a two-car garage. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing units and construct two detached residential condominium units on the subject site. The applicant proposes to relocate and reduce the width of the existing driveway from the full lot frontage to a single nine foot wide driveway at the north side of the lot. The driveway will provide shared access to both units and there is no loss or gain of on-street parking spaces on Bard Street due to the west side of Bard Street containing a tow away zone. Units 1 and 2 are three level structures that will each contain a two-car garage, bedroom and bathroom on the garage/basement floor, an entry hall two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms and laundry room on the first floor; dining room, kitchen, living room, powder room, and deck on the second floor; and roof deck above the second floor level. The architectural styles of both units are contemporary with exterior treatments of stone, smooth plaster. Analysis: A proposal to construct a condominium project requires findings for consideration of a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 and as set forth in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Sections 16.08.060, 17.40.020, and 17.58.030. CEQA Compliance: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15303(b), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, because the proposal pertains to construction of limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of multi-family residential structures in an urbanized area, totaling no more than six dwelling units. 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 resources 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. Basic Zoning Standards: The project complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including the R-3 zone and design standards for condominiums in HBMC Section 17.22.

Grade Height Determination HBMC Section 17.44.150 provides that “…underground parking facilities may be located in the side, front and rear yards which are completely below existing ground level… in the side yards and rear yards not abutting a street, the grade may be raised an average of three feet with a maximum of six feet above the existing grade…” Grade at any point on a lot is determined based on existing corner point elevations (interpolation method). Alternative determinations of grade, such as convex slope determinations and alternative property corner or grade point elevations, shall be made by the Planning Commission. The grade of a lot may be based on a detailed topographical survey with spot elevations along the property line in question. The applicant requests Planning Commission approve use of alternative grade heights along the south property line for purposes of locating underground garages eight inches into the south side yard setback. If the standard interpolation method is used to define grade then the garages will not be considered underground and will not be able to encroach into the south side yard setback. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™149 Staff Report REPORT 20-0003 The south elevation shown in attachment 4 illustrates the existing grade line (green), the grade line based on corner point elevations (blue) and the garage locations (orange). The existing natural ground/grade is located approximately 1 to 1.5 feet higher than the standard interpolation method based on existing corner point elevations. The applicant submitted two soil investigation reports to assess any fill soil conditions. The recent three borings contained in the report dated September 30, 2019, supplement two borings placed on site as described in the report dated July 11, 2018. One to two feet of existing silty sand fill soils overlying undisturbed native soils along the south side of the property were encountered. The soils engineer confirmed that the fill soils are very similar to on-site native soils and are likely the result of disturbance over the life of the existing building. Boring Site Amount of Fill Present Location of Boring Site July 11, 2018 Soils Investigation B-1 (Not applicable) 3 feet North side of property. Not applicable. Not asking for alternative grade at north. B-2 2 feet South east of property T-1 1.5 feet South west of property September 30, 2019 Soils Investigation B-3 1 foot South west of property B-4 18 inches Adjacent to south property line (mid property) B-5 1 foot Adjacent to south property line (mid property) The applicant is not looking to utilize alternative grade heights for purposes of determining building height. Building height will still be measured from the four property corner elevation points (interpolation method). Staff believes that evidence presented in the two soil investigation reports and survey support the use of the natural and unaltered alternative grade heights requested for purposes of locating underground garages eight inches into the south side yard setback. Access and Parking: Access to the on-site parking is provided through a shared nine foot wide driveway approach that is located on the north side of the lot. The driveway extends to the rear Unit 2 garage and shared guest parking space. The driveway slope profiles indicate the driveway slope will be 14.5%% at the steepest point; within the maximum allowed slope of 20% pursuant to HBMC Section 17.44.120.D. The project has been designed to reduce the existing driveway surface area by reducing and relocating the driveway to the furthest north point of the lot. Street parking is currently prohibited on the west side of Bard Street due to the two away zone. Therefore, there will be no loss or gain of on- street parking spaces on Bard Street. Landscape and Green Measures: All plants must be water conserving as required by the Hermosa Beach Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan (HBMC Section 8.56) and Water Efficient Landscaping (HBMC Section City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 7 powered by Legistar™150 Staff Report REPORT 20-0003 8.60). The landscape plan includes a mixture of drought tolerant plants including coastal rosemary, harmony kangaroo paw, blue chalksticks, and candelabra aloe. In addition, the landscape plan will include two 24-inch box size forest pansy redbud trees, both of which will be planted within the front (east) yard planter. The project is conditioned to ensure that all planting materials and trees comply with HBMC Section 8.60, Water Efficient Landscaping. The landscape plan shows that catch basins with sump pumps will be provided on-site and an automatic irrigation system with a moisture sensor is proposed for the landscaped areas. The project must comply with Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control Regulations. Additionally, 65% of demolition debris must be recycled, and cement used in foundation mix design must be reduced by not less than 20%, among other requirements. Hermosa Beach’s Electrical Code (Section 15.32) requires installation of conduit sized to accommodate solar energy and solar thermal systems. Compatibility with surrounding area: The subject site is zoned R-3 Multiple-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood consisting of both attached and detached two-unit condominiums on a lot with shared driveways leading to parking courtyards which provide vehicle access to the units. Subdivision Map: The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 80296.A vesting tentative parcel map grants vested rights to proceed with a project in accordance with the ordinances, polices and standards in effect at the time the application for approval of the vesting tentative map is completed. The proposed two-unit condominium is on an existing 3,298.5 square foot lot, with a 30-foot lot width. The R-3 zone requires a minimum lot size of 1,320 square feet per unit; thus allowing a maximum of two dwelling units on the 3,298.5 square foot lot. The lot is similar to surrounding lot sizes and lot widths within the same zone, and the General Plan Land Use designation for lots in the vicinity, and thus complies with Hermosa Beach ordinances regarding subdivision of lots. The project is conditioned upon payment of Park and Recreation Area Dedication fees for each unit as there is inadequate area on-site for land dedication per City required Parks and Recreation Area fees. The proposed two-unit condominium can connect to the existing utilities that service the residential uses in the immediate neighborhood. In addition, the existing utilities have the capacity to serve the proposed development. The submitted plans were preliminarily reviewed by the Fire Department, Public Works Department, and Building & Safety Division, and no major concerns were identified. The proposed subdivision and improvements are compliant with criteria for approval of a subdivision map and are not likely to cause serious public health problems within the proposed subdivision. The design of the proposed subdivision is compatible with the immediate residential environment. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 7 powered by Legistar™151 Staff Report REPORT 20-0003 General Plan Consistency: The proposed two-unit condominium is located within the High Density Residential (HD) General Plan Land Use designation area; the purpose of which is to provide a range of residential housing types to serve the varying living accommodation needs or desires of the community. The intent of this designation is to preserve and contribute to the inventory of diverse housing types available to residents and offer alternatives to single-family residential development. The designation allows for a variety of high density building types and development patterns. This designation provides a range of residential building formats including condominiums, townhouses, duplex/triplex, and apartment buildings. Single-family residential is discouraged in this designation. The appropriate density range is between 25.1 to 33.0 dwelling units per acre. The subject site is also located within the Sand Section Neighborhood character area as indicated in the City’s General Plan, which accommodates a range of residential development types, with neighborhood commercial services. The abundance of small, pedestrian-friendly blocks give this area its charm and intimate sense of community. The future vision of this neighborhood includes preserving the building form, scale, and orientation in this neighborhood. It is appropriate to have small-scale apartments adjacent to single-family homes in this area and an integrated mixture of housing types is what defines the identity of the Sand Section. Building Design and Orientation should avoid flat, box-like front façades and greater Articulation is favorable. Garages and parking are typically accessed through alleyways or driveways that extend behind buildings. This area may include prevailing setback requirements for front, side, and rear setbacks that vary from block to block, but provide consistency within each block. The proposed project is consistent with the HD Land Use designation in that it will contribute to the residential neighborhood as a multi-family (two-unit on a single lot) development and meets the intent of the Sand Section Neighborhood character area with a density of 15.14 dwelling units per acre and through providing garages and parking behind the buildings. The design of the detached two-unit development is consistent with the Sand Section Neighborhood character area in that the driveway extends behind the buildings, the front building provides the required five-foot front yard setback, as there is not a larger prevailing front yard setback along the west side of Bard Street, and both units have been designed with building articulation elements such as staggered building facades, vertical and horizontal architectural bands and columns and large balconies and roof decks with a mixture of architectural finishes. Land Use Goal 2 states “While each neighborhood in Hermosa Beach is distinct, they each provide a variety of housing types, densities, designs and mix of uses and services that collectively reflect the small beach town character. The diversity of building types responds to the diversity of the city’s population and the desire to create interesting and varied neighborhoods.” Specifically, Land Use Goal 2 Policy 2.1 states “Neighborhoods are complete and well-structured by encouraging, where appropriate, the following characteristics including having homes with entries City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 6 of 7 powered by Legistar™152 Staff Report REPORT 20-0003 and windows facing the street. Although the design does not incorporate a front facing entry for Unit 1, the design does provide a large front facing balcony with horizontal metal guardrails and large vertical windows which encourages having “eyes on the street.” The Sand Section Neighborhood character area also does not specifically identify front facing entries as a character defining “building design and orientation” unlike other character areas such as the North End Neighborhood which specifically states “Buildings should have a primary entrance onto the numbered streets, and are encouraged to have a secondary entrance on perpendicular streets.” The proposed design features implement the following PLAN Hermosa goals and many of its policies in the Land Use policies 1.6 Scale and Context., 2.1 Complete Neighborhoods, 2.3 Balanced Neighborhoods, 2.6 Diversity of building types and styles, 2.7 Context sensitive design, 5.1 Scale and Massing, 5.6 Eclectic and diverse architecture, and 6.9 Shared driveways. Perfect consistency is not required with all General Plan policies. Consistency means that the project does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals. The proposed uses are in line with the City’s long-term vision set out in the General Plan and the overall project does not impede the City’s ability to meet its goals Summary: The project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map as conditioned are consistent with the zoning code, subdivision laws and other relevant provisions of the Municipal Code, and the site is physically suitable for the type and density of proposed development. Therefore, staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #80296 for a two-unit detached condominium project, and approve by minute order the use of alternative (existing) grade height elevations along the south property line for purposes of locating underground garages eight inches into the south side yard setback,at 847 Bard Street, and determine the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Resolution 20-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND VESTING TENATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 80296 FOR A TWO-UNIT DETACHED CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 847 BARD STREET AND DETERMINE THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed on December 6, 2018 by the property owner/applicant Neo Leighton, LLC, for development of property located at 847 Bard Street, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 19-1, Precise Development Plan 19-1, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 80296 for a proposed two-unit detached residential condominium project. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on January 21, 2020, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. The Planning Commission hereby finds, determines, and declares the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(b), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures because the proposal pertains to construction of limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of multi-family residential structures in an urbanized area, totaling no more than six dwelling units. 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 resources 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. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the California Government Code Section 66474 and Section 16.08.060 of the Municipal Code. 1. The proposal is generally consistent with the General Plan in that it does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals with regard to the High Density (HD) Residential designation that allows for multiple dwellings. The proposal meets the Medium Density designation because it will provide two-units on a 3,298.5 square foot lot. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with applicable development standards set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) for the R-3 zone. 154 2 2. The site is physically suitable for a two-unit detached residential condominium project. The two-unit detached residential condominium project contains a total of five on-site parking spaces with four spaces located within garages and one guest parking space. This development complies with all development standards and does not require approval of a deviation. 3. The subdivision and improvements provide for adequate drainage, sanitation and potable water, underground utilities, parking and construction requirements, and therefore are not likely to cause public health problems. The project as conditioned will provide permeable surfacing and storm water retention facilities to the maximum extent feasible per HBMC Section 8.44.095 and any additional non-percolated or retained storm water will be conveyed to an onsite subsurface infiltration system as required by HBMC Section 8.44.095 subject to maintenance agreements. 4. The proposed subdivision will front on a public street, will provide vehicular access from Bard Street and does not exhibit dedicated public easements. Therefore, the subdivision and improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. 5. Design of the proposed subdivision as conditioned is generally compatible and consistent with applicable elements of the City’s General Plan, and with the surrounding lot sizes, and approximately 30-foot lot frontages in the immediate environment. In addition, design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with purposes of the General Plan land use designation, density, applicable HBMC development standards, parking, access, and services are provided. 6. The project, as conditioned, will conform to all zoning requirements including, but not limited to setbacks, lot coverage, open space, building height, and parking. The project also conforms to all condominium standards including, but not limited to private storage space, minimum unit sizes, architecture and building layout, landscaping, and will be compatible with neighboring properties that are developed with similar multi-story multi-family residences. 7. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303(b) since the project is construction of a limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. 8. The proposed subdivision will be consistent with the prevailing lot patterns and is not likely to reduce property values in the surrounding neighborhood area because the project is similar to surrounding development, consists only of the division of airspace at less than the maximum density allowed, and conditions have been placed on the project to ensure compatibility. Section 5. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for Conditional Use 155 3 Permit and Precise Development Plan pursuant to Sections 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code. 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects; The subject site is zoned R-3 Multiple-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west of the subject site. The subject site is large enough to accommodate two units. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story multi-family residences. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need; The proposed two-unit condominium will provide vehicular access through a shared driveway located on the north side of the subject site from Bard Street leading to two two-car garages, which provides a total of four off-street enclosed parking spaces on-site. In addition, one on-site guest parking space will be provided and shared between both units. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility; The proposed two-unit detached residential use is consistent and compatible because the immediate neighborhood includes multi-family residences. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area; Bard Street is designated in the General Plan as a local street, and has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development and surrounding neighborhood. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; The proposed two-unit condominium will not have signs, thus will not be incompatible with the area. Nevertheless, it is important to consider the architectural style (décor) as part of this approval. The applicant is proposing a contemporary style, which can be found on other properties in the neighborhood. Accordingly, the décor of the building will be compatible with the existing residences in the area. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences, schools, churches, hospitals and playgrounds; The subject site is zoned R-3 Multiple-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood consisting of both attached and detached two-unit condominiums on a lot with shared driveways which provide vehicle access to the units. The proposed project is consistent with the HD Land Use designation in that it will contribute to the residential neighborhood as a multi-family (two-unit on a single lot) development and meets the intention of the Sand Section Neighborhood character area with a density of 15.14 dwelling units per acre. The design of the attached two-unit development is consistent with the Sand Section Neighborhood character area in that the driveway extends 156 4 behind the buildings, the front building provides the required five-foot front yard setback, as there is not a larger prevailing front yard setback along the west side of Bard Street, and both units have been designed with building articulation elements such as staggered building facades, vertical and horizontal architectural bands and columns and large balconies and roof decks with a mixture of architectural finishes. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; The proposed two-unit detached condominium is not anticipated to create adverse impacts because the proposed use of the property is residential, which is consistent with the use of the surrounding residential neighborhood. Construction of the two-unit condominium will cause temporary noise, odor, dust, and vibration, but they will be ceased when the construction has been completed. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; The proposed two-unit condominium can connect to the existing utilities that service the residential uses in the immediate neighborhood. There is sufficient capacity to serve the proposed two-unit condominium. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms; The proposed two-unit condominium does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed residential use and building design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and General Plan. Nevertheless, multiple conditions of approval have been incorporated into this action. With these conditions, any potential impact will be mitigated. 10. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the planning commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. None noted. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the subject Conditional Use Permit 19-1 Precise Development Plan 19-1, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 80296 for a two-unit detached condominium subject to the following Conditions of Approval: General: 1.

Meeting: Planning Commission Item: Submit your comments via eComment in three easy steps: eComment: Re: 847 Bard St., Hermosa Beach, CA --- CON 19-1, PDP 19-1, VTPM #80296 & S- 21#31 1. Why should this project be allowed an 8” variance to the setback rules on the south side of the property? 2. We are concerned about the possibility of a problem with the overhead power lines extending to 855/853 Bard St. Hermosa Beach, CA power lines that could be a problem during the construction. Can’t have a disruption of power to that property. The power lines are very close to the property lines. What would be the remedy of this problem? 3. There is going to be a loss of a shared parking space between the 2 properties. 4. The walkway to 853 Bard St. would be only 3 feet wide after this construction. This property change will mean that a shared walkway with 847 Bard Street (now over 8’ 3” wide) would be reduced to 3 feet. The 3 foot walk way is further reduced by an electric service box extending onto the walk way. 5. Concerned about the 3 foot walk way collapsing after cutting along the property line during construction. This is the only access to 853 Bard St. and there can’t be any loss of access to 853 Bard St. 6. What kind of supporting structure will shore up the 3 foot walkway? What protection will be in place to protect those walking down the walkway since the driveway will be below grade? During construction and after? 7. How many months will the construction take? 8. What are the daily work hours during construction? 9. Which days per week will construction occur? 10. We cannot have street access in or out blocked at any time for 848, 850, 853, 854, or 855 Bard as there is no other access in or out of these properties. 11. Who do we call for construction issue problems (names and phone numbers) ? 12. We do not want garage area lights on all night. Can be motion activated, but not constantly on as they will disturb the owner at 855 Bard. 13. Who do we call for blocked street access (names and phone numbers)? 14. Concerned about the construction noise as renters to 853 Bard work from home. 236 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 20-0040 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of January 21, 2020 CUP 19-12 - Conditional Use Permit a request to operate a fitness studio (Lightning Fit) within a 1,298 square foot tenant spaces at 828 Hermosa Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) APPLICANT:Colleen McNutt, with Lightning Fitness 1517 Sullivan Avenue Costa Mesa, CA 92627 OWNER:Ansje Baker Trust 966 Loma Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving Conditional Use Permit Amendment 19-12, thereby approving the operation of a fitness studio (Lightning Fit) within a 1,298 square foot tenant space at 828 Hermosa Avenue, and determining that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: ZONING:C-2 - General Commercial GENERAL PLAN:Community Commercial LOT SIZE:5,866 square feet PREVIOUS USE:Food and beverage market PROPOSED USE:Assembly hall The subject site is a 5,866 square foot parcel that is located on the east side of Hermosa Avenue, north of 8th Street. The site is improved with three one-story commercial buildings, including a 2,350 square foot building on the west side of the parcel, and two 400 square foot buildings on the east side of the parcel (facing Palm Drive). Additionally, there is a five-space parking lot east of the buildings, which is accessed from Palm Drive. The applicant is proposing to utilize an existing 1,298 square foot tenant space, which was formerly occupied by Ashley’s Deli & Market. The proposed fitness studio (Lightning Fit) provides a 25-minute workout that includes the use of electrical muscle stimulation suits. All workout sessions are with a trainer, with no group classes being proposed. The applicant’s full business description is contained in their submittal letter, which is attached to this report as Attachment 2. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™237 Staff Report REPORT 20-0040 View of Property from Hermosa The proposed floor plan indicates that there are four workout stations, dressing rooms, two restrooms, and a utility room. The applicant is estimating that no more than eight clients will be working out at any given time. While an individual trainer may train more than one client at a time, there will be no group classes offered. The proposed hours of operation will be 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; and 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Access to the tenant space will be through one of two doors facing Hermosa Avenue, or through a single door on the east side of the tenant space, facing the parking lot. Analysis: Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.04.050 defines an assembly hall as “…any building, or portion of a building, used for public or private gatherings. For example, and without limitation, "assembly hall" includes convention/meeting halls, business schools, funeral homes, gymnasium/health and fitness centers, educational institutions (K-12), game arcades with five (5) or more machines, miniature golf courses, large day spas, movie theaters, museums, music academies, religious institutions, and skating rinks, whether available for public or private use.” Accordingly, the proposed fitness studio is classified as an assembly hall. Pursuant to HBMC 17.26.030, assembly halls are a permitted use, subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit. Parking for gymnasiums/health and fitness centers that are less than 3,000 square feet is one parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. This parking ratio is the same as the previous market; as such, no additional parking is required for the new use in the tenant space. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™238 Staff Report REPORT 20-0040 While the east side of this portion of Hermosa Avenue is primarily other commercial establishments, there are residential properties across Hermosa Avenue (approximately 100’ to the west) and Palm Drive (approximately 80’ to the east). To avoid potential noise impacts, staff is recommending a condition of approval that requires that all business doors remain closed. Staff is further recommending a condition of approval that requires all activity to occur within the fully enclosed building. In order to approve the Conditional Use Permit, HBMC Section 17.40.020 states, “In considering the granting of any conditional use permit for any use, the following criteria for granting said permit shall be considered:” A.Distance from existing residential uses: The subject parcel is located in the C-2 zone and has commercial uses on the north and south sides of the site. Residential properties currently exist across Hermosa Avenue (approximately 100’ to the west), which are zoned R-2; and across Palm Drive (approximately 80’ to the east), which are zoned R-3. Nevertheless, the fitness studio will have fewer customers at a time than the former market. Specifically, the applicant is estimating that no more than eight clients will train at the fitness center at any given time; whereas, the market had an occupant load of 24 persons. Additionally, staff has recommended conditions of approval to require that all doors into the establishment remain closed; the ability for the City to mitigate noise impacts, should noise complaints be received; and all operations are contained with the building, further preventing potential adverse impacts to the surrounding residences and businesses. B.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The proposed fitness studio will occupy a 1,298 square foot tenant space. Based on the required parking ration of one space per 250 square feet of floor area, the fitness studio requires six parking spaces. The property provides five parking spaces, which is insufficient to meet the code requirement for all the uses on-site. Nevertheless, the previous use in this tenant space was a market, which has the same parking requirement (1/250) as the proposed fitness studio. Hermosa Beach Municipal Code 17.52.035(E) allows a change of use when the parking is non-conforming, provided the new use does not intensify the parking requirement. Accordingly, the proposed business is not required to provide additional parking. C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The public beach is located approximately 510’ west of the site, Clark Field is located approximately 1,000’ northeast of the site, and South Park is located approximately 1,100’ southeast of the site. The operation of the fitness studio will not impact these, or other uses in the vicinity. Nevertheless, staff has recommended several conditions of approval, including requiring all activities are conducted in the fully enclosed building and all doors and windows remain closed. These conditions will prevent potential adverse impact from occurring. D.The combination of uses proposed: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™239 Staff Report REPORT 20-0040 The 1,298 square foot tenant space will only be occupied by the fitness studio (Lightning Fit). However, the business will be located in a multi-tenant building that also includes a restaurant and beauty salon. The tenant space previously was occupied with a market that had an occupant load of 24 people and did not contribute towards a significant cumulative impact to the surrounding area. It is anticipated that the proposed fitness studio will only have eight clients working out at any given time, thus will be less likely than the former market to contribute to a significant cumulative impact on those who live and work in the area. E.Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In order to assure compatibility with surrounding uses, the business owner proposed to limit the number of customers utilizing the facility at any given time. The proposed floor plan provides four workout stations, which will limit the number of people that can workout at one time. This limited number of clients shows the business owner has considered the surrounding uses and has designed the business to be compatible with the area. F.The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets serving the area: The subject site is located on Hermosa Ave, a four-lane (two lanes in each direction) minor arterial. The anticipated daily traffic generated from the previous market with deli exceeds the expected daily traffic from the fitness studio. Not only is the traffic generation expected to decrease, but also Hermosa Avenue has sufficient capacity to accommodate the business- generated traffic. G.The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: No exterior façade modifications are proposed with this request. Any proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application and conform to the HBMC Section 17.50 for Signs. H.The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: While there are other fitness studios and gyms in the vicinity of the proposed use, this business offers a unique service. The use of electrical muscle stimulation suits during workouts is not found in other businesses in the area. I.Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The operation of a fitness studio is not typically associated with creation of odor, dust or vibration. However, potential noise impacts need to be addressed. Staff has recommended conditions of approval to require that all doors into the establishment remain close and all operations are contained with the building, thereby preventing potential adverse impacts from City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™240 Staff Report REPORT 20-0040 noise. J.Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services: The existing building is adequately served by the various utility companies, infrastructure and municipal services, and the proposed use is not anticipated to place additional burden on current infrastructure and services. K.Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area: While there are other fitness studios and gyms in the vicinity of the proposed use, this business offers a unique service. The use of electrical muscle stimulation suits during workouts is not found in other businesses in the area. L.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. Staff has recommended several conditions of approval that will prevent adverse impacts and assure the compatibility of the use with the surrounding uses. Environmental Determination: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301(a), Class 1 Exemption, Existing Facilities because the proposal pertains to an existing structure and involves only minor alterations to the interior of the structure, such as interior partitions or electrical and mechanical permits. 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: According to PLAN Hermosa, the subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Community Commercial, which is defined as, “Locally-oriented uses including retail stores, restaurants, professional and medical offices, and personal services.” The proposed fitness studio is not only intended to serve the local residents (as compared to serving the region), but offers a service that is consistent with the uses outlined in the General Plan for the Community Commercial land use. The site is also located in the Downtown District Character Area. The character area is in part intended to provide for “the mix of community and recreational uses [that] serve a functional role in meeting the daily needs and activities of residents and visitors…” The proposed fitness studio will provide a functional role to meet the daily needs of the residents, thus is consistent with the character area. The proposed use implements the following PLAN Hermosa goals and policies: Community City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™241 Staff Report REPORT 20-0040 Governance policies 5.1 Residential and commercial compatibility, 5.7 Visitor and resident balance, 7.5 Health-promoting uses, 7.9 Healthy commercial products; and Land Use and Design policies 1.3 Access to daily activities, 1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs, 1.7 Compatibility of uses, 1.9 Retain commercial land area, 13.2 Social and health needs, 13.4 Private health uses, and 13.6 Connecting health and land use. Summary: Based on the analysis contained within this report, the proposed fitness studio, as conditioned, is consistent with the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and PLAN Hermosa. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution to approve CUP 19-12 and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RESOLUTION 20-__ A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP 19-12), A REQUEST TO OPERATE A FITNESS STUDIO ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 828 HERMOSA AVE, HERMOSA BEACH, CA; AND DETERMINING THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: SECTION 1. An application was filed by Colleen McNutt for Lightning Fit seeking approval of a fitness studio, which is classified by the HBMC as an “Assembly Hall” use, on property located at 828 Hermosa Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on January 21, 2020, to consider the application for Conditional Use Permit 19-12 at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. SECTION 3. The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301(a), Class 1 Exemption, Existing Facilities because the proposal pertains to an existing structure and involves only minor alterations to the interior of the structure, such as interior partitions or electrical and mechanical permits. 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. Based on the foregoing factual findings the Planning Commission makes the following findings for the Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.40.020, finding that the use as conditioned will be compatible with the surroundings and all impacts can be reduced to an insignificant level: 1. Distance from existing residential uses: The subject parcel is located in the C-2 zone and has commercial uses on the north and south sides of the site. Residential properties currently exist across Hermosa Avenue (approximately 100’ to the west), which are zoned R-2; and across Palm Drive (approximately 80’ to the east), which are zoned R-3. Nevertheless, the fitness studio will have fewer customers at a time than the former market. Specifically, the applicant is estimating that no more than eight clients will train at the fitness center at any given time; whereas, the market had an occupant load of 24 persons. Additionally, conditions of 243 2 approval have been included to require that all doors into the establishment remain closed; the ability for the City to mitigate noise impacts, should noise complaints be received; and all operations are contained with the building, further preventing potential adverse impacts to the surrounding residences and businesses. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The proposed fitness studio will occupy a 1,298 square foot tenant space. Based on the required parking ration of one space per 250 square feet of floor area, the fitness studio requires six parking spaces. The property provides five parking spaces, which is insufficient to meet the code requirement for all the uses on-site. Nevertheless, the previous use in this tenant space was a market, which has the same parking requirement (1/250) as the proposed fitness studio. Hermosa Beach Municipal Code 17.52.035(E) allows a change of use when the parking is non-conforming, provided the new use does not intensify the parking requirement. Accordingly, the proposed business is not required to provide additional parking. 3. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The public beach is located approximately 510’ west of the site, Clark Field is located approximately 1,000’ northeast of the site, and South Park is located approximately 1,100’ southeast of the site. The operation of the fitness studio will not impact these, or other uses in the vicinity. Nevertheless, several conditions of approval, including requiring all activities are conducted in the fully enclosed building and all doors and windows remain closed have been incorporated to in to this resolution. These conditions will prevent potential adverse impact from occurring. 4. The combination of uses proposed: The 1,298 square foot tenant space will only be occupied by the fitness studio (Lightning Fit). However, the business will be located in a multi-tenant building that also includes a restaurant and beauty salon. The tenant space previously was occupied with a market that had an occupant load of 24 people and did not contribute towards a significant cumulative impact to the surrounding area. It is anticipated that the proposed fitness studio will only have eight clients working out at any given time, thus will be less likely than the former market to contribute to a significant cumulative impact on those who live and work in the area. 5. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In order to assure compatibility with surrounding uses, the business owner proposed to limit the number of customers utilizing the facility at any given time. The proposed floor plan provides four workout stations, which will limit the number of people that can workout at one time. This limited number of clients shows the business owner has considered the surrounding uses and has designed the business to be compatible with the area. 244 3 6. The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets serving the area: The subject site is located on Hermosa Ave, a four-lane (two lanes in each direction) minor arterial. The anticipated daily traffic generated from the previous market with deli exceeds the expected daily traffic from the fitness studio. Not only is the traffic generation expected to decrease, but also Hermosa Avenue has sufficient capacity to accommodate the business-generated traffic. 7. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: No exterior façade modifications are proposed with this request. Any proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application and conform to the HBMC Section 17.50 for Signs. 8. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: While there are other fitness studios and gyms in the vicinity of the proposed use, this business offers a unique service. The use of electrical muscle stimulation suits during workouts is not found in other businesses in the area. 9. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The operation of a fitness studio is not typically associated with creation of odor, dust or vibration. However, potential noise impacts need to be addressed. Conditions of approval to require that all doors into the establishment remain close and all operations are contained with the building have been incorporated in this resolution, thereby preventing potential adverse impacts from noise. 10. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services: The existing building is adequately served by the various utility companies, infrastructure and municipal services, and the proposed use is not anticipated to place additional burden on current infrastructure and services. 11. Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area: While there are other fitness studios and gyms in the vicinity of the proposed use, this business offers a unique service. The use of electrical muscle stimulation suits during workouts is not found in other businesses in the area. 12. 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. Several conditions of approval have been included that will prevent adverse impacts and assure the compatibility of the use with the surrounding uses. 245 4 SECTION 5.

They are experts at designing personalized fitness plans for optimal health and wellness, no matter your current fitness level. Our training yields results; we build the elite. About the Founder: Colleen founded Lightning Fit on the core belief that she should use her unique experiences and access to the best in wellness technologies to help other people achieve their fitness goals. An Orange County local, Colleen joined a big 4 accounting firm after graduating from Columbia University, where she played NCAA Division 1 volleyball. Driven to excel in the fast- paced business world as well as maintain her elite athleticism, Colleen experienced what many of us feel in our day to day lives: there is always so much to do and that staying fit is a struggle. In the spring of 2012, crisis struck. Colleen began to feel extremely fatigued constantly and gain weight at an unexpected pace. She sought the help of doctors and specialists in Southern California, but her health continued to deteriorate. Determined to find a solution to the mysterious illness that afflicted her, Colleen expanded her search for treatment. She sought out advice from specialized doctors around the globe, un - derwent treatment at revolutionary clinics in Europe, and even received stem cell therapy. After years of searching, Colleen found a cutting edge facility in Utah where she was finally diag- nosed with a rare mitochondrial dysfunction that was triggered by an allergic reaction to a very strong antibiotic. Her treatment at the clinic contributed to her full recovery and with her health restored, Colleen returned to work in accounting. More cognizant of her energy levels, Colleen began to put together the optimized fitness strategy that forms the basis of Lightning Fit’s of- fering. Colleen was determined to return to the elite level of fitness that she had experienced before her illness, but did not have 3 hours a day to exercise like she had when in college. This 249 drove Colleen to craft a regimen that would provide her with a world class workout supported by advanced recovery and wellness technologies, without taking up all of her time. After thoughtful experimentation, Colleen found a combination of diet and exercise that mas- sively improved her fitness, increased her energy, and fit well within her busy lifestyle. Having been introduced to EMS devices and a variety of powerful supplements by wellness experts, Colleen started to use these technologies to help her regain her fitness. Working with experts and undergoing one of the most rigorous fitness training certifications available in the US, Colleen began to formulate a recipe for success that would eventually drive her to the best fit- ness level of her life, all in less than 3 hours per week. In early 2016, Colleen decided to leave accounting and open a personal training studio in Cos- ta Mesa so that she could help other people achieve their fitness goals through personalized, technology-enabled training programs. She gained a certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, a robust personal training program in the US, and received direct training and certification from the top EMS experts in the US and Europe. Thus, Lightning Fit was born out of Colleen’s desire to help others feel as healthy as they can so that they can enjoy the happi- ness they deserve! Benefits of EMS, What Makes Us Different Burn roughly 700 Calories EMS technology helps to maintain your heart rate within the key fat burning level, and increas- es cell oxygen consumption, maximizing caloric burn. Our innovative style of EMS training maximizes caloric expenditure, and burns roughly between 400 - 1,000 calories in a 25 minute session. Increase Fat Burning and Elevate Metabolism for 48 Hours EMS is designed to quickly and efficiently build muscle. As your muscles work and grow, your metabolism increases, making your cells demand energy. The result? Increased fat burning for up to 48 hours after your session. Build Muscle & Stimulate 85-95% of Your Muscle Fibers Like traditional weightlifting, our EMS workout is targeted towards developing muscles by forc- ing key muscle groups to exert significant force. Compared to traditional weightlifting though which only activates 65% of the body’s muscle fibers, our innovative EMS technology stimu- lates up to 95% of the body’s muscle fibers, reaching areas that conventional workouts rarely affect. No wonder the world’s top athletes, including Cristiano Ronaldo, consistently train with EMS. Protect Your Joints Our workouts do not not rely on heavy weights or high impact activities to build muscles; with EMS, muscles can be strengthened and fat lost without requiring intensive impacts on your joints, so it is a great way for older people or people with joint issues to maintain their health. The Experience Prepping: Before you come in for your first EMS workout, we recommend that you hydrate with at least 20 ounces of water, confirm your session, and most importantly, get ready for an amaz- ing, one-of-a-kind workout. 250 Arrival: Upon arrival, your trainer will conduct a 15 minute consultation with you where they fur- ther discuss our workout and technology, explore your personal fitness goals, health history, and finally have you sign our waiver. Suit Up: Here comes the fun part - our trainers begin the suit up process! We start with water - ing down the electrodes found on the vest, bottoms, and arm bands to ensure optimal connec- tion. We tighten and fit the suit to you and once complete, you’re ready to go. The Workout: Each 25 minute session is completely customizable to you and your needs. Whether you are looking for a full body workout or would like to target certain muscles more than others, our expert trainers create a routine that best matches your goals. Post Workout: Recovery is key with EMS training. We recommend that after your first session you double the amount of water you intake, refrain from heavy weight lifting for 24-48 hours, eat high-protein meals, and avoid any deep tissue massages for 24 hours. FAQ Is it possible I will be shocked during the EMS workout? No, there is no possibility of receiving an electric shock during the workout as the equipment operates at low voltage, using an external power source or battery. The maximum intensity of the pulses is 0.05 Watt RMS. What should I bring with me to my EMS session? All you need is a pair of socks and athletic shoes. We provide the rest! Can I train at Lightning FIt more than 2 times per week? At Lightning Fit, we put health and safety first. We do not recommend training with EMS more than two times per week because the workout is very intense and the body needs more time to recover than after a traditional workout. It is very important to have a sufficient resting period to avoid symptoms of overexertion. It is best to rest for two to three days between sessions. Will training on the EMS device cause me to get sore? Yes, soreness is most prominent after the first EMS session because it works the deep muscle tissues and activates up to 95% of your muscle fibers, normally impossible to target with tradi - tional training. Muscle soreness can last from two to five days after training. How will training at Lightning Fit affect my skin? Aside from the fitness results, EMS tightens skin and can effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite. Can I use E-fit if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? No, EMS training cannot be used during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. When will I see visible results? Following Lightning Fit’s protocol of two quick 25-minute workouts a week, most clients notice a significant decrease in cellulite and an increase in muscle tone within 10 sessions. How much weight will I lose? Our goal at Lightning Fit is to change your body composition. We want to reduce fat, eliminate cellulite and tighten your skin all while we work on your 6-pack and lifting your buttocks. Many of our clients have reported significant weight loss while following our protocol. However, it is 251 important to note that each individual’s body composition is unique and therefore, individuals respond to the protocol in different ways. Who is prohibited from the use of EMS? The equipment must not be used on pregnant women, people under the age of 16, people with heart disease, pacemakers or other electronic medical devices. It is also not recommended for those with a predisposition to epileptic seizures or convulsions, infectious diseases, high fever, blood pressure-related illnesses, skin disease (dry skin) or those with metal body implants. What is the history of EMS? Emerging in the 1960s, EMS technology was first used by doctors and physical therapists to rehabilitate muscles after surgery or injury. In the 1970’s, Europe and Russia began to use this technology to train their world-class athletes, thus paving the way for how it is used today. Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in non-medical exercise settings, Lightning Fit combines this cutting-edge technology with expert training programs to provide a customizable, one-of-a-kind workout experience suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Company Structure Lightning Fit is an LLC solely owned by Colleen McNutt Marketing Plan Lightning Fit currently uses tow marketing companies for its Orange County locations: Loud Rumor and Agility Digital. We will continue to use both for the Hermosa Beach location as well. Pricing Our classes rage from $73 - $150 dollars depending on the package and amount of sessions you buy. Target Market Lightning Fit caters to the busy professional, the stay at home mom, and athletes. We use completely unique technology, and all our clients are people who want quick results, in a short amount of time. The maximum time a client can do our workout, is twice per week. Business Impact The business impact and footprint will be noninvasive to the surrounding business residents. The studio atmosphere is in harmony with the city and surrounding businesses standards and expectations. There will be no loud music or TV, no yelling our loud coaching and no high im- pact exercises causing loud thumping, clanging or piercing sounds. The additional layered flooring and rubber matts will further dampen the already minimal sounds made within the stu- dio. Additionally, we will be adding an HVAC system so we will not have to opening the door. this will minimize sound as well. Like our other two studios in Orange County, we will be offering personalized workouts using EMS technology. Workouts are by appointment only, and M-F we are open 5:00 am - 9:00pm, S - S, we are open 7:30 am - 4:00 pm. We will maintain a comfortable, clean professional envi- ronment and the studio will be very similar to the one in the attached video.

Recommended Action: Conduct public hearing and adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council approve Text Amendment 19-1 to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Chapter 17, to add a Limited Events permit option as an accessory use to businesses located in the City’s Cypress District M-1 zone, including standards and limitations; adopt proposed definitions of “Artist Studio,” “Architect Studio,” and “Events, Limited;” amend the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone matrix to allow “Architect Studio” and “Events, Limited “ as permitted uses, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. Background: At its meeting on July 9, 2019, the City Council reviewed a request letter and heard public comments from Mike Collins, business owner of ShockBoxx, requesting initiation of a Municipal Code amendment to the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone in the Cypress District. The letter, which represented six businesses and property owners, asked for consideration to update the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone to allow for “current and emerging, businesses, shop owners, and tenants, to conduct business in a more creative way,” particularly regarding special event limitations. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to consider this matter at a future City Council meeting. At its meeting on July 23, 2019, the City Council considered initiation of a Municipal Code amendment to the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone and the appropriate permitting process to allow Cypress District businesses to host openings or events with limited retail sales. After discussion, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to consider a Zoning Code Text Amendment for the M City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 7 powered by Legistar™264 Staff Report REPORT 20-0034 -1 Zone in the Cypress District and recommend changes to the City Council for potential adoption. At its meeting on August 20, 2019, the Planning Commission discussed the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone and the City Council direction to consider potential Municipal Code text amendments to allow businesses to host openings or events with limited retail sales. The Commission discussed the proposal, requested more information such as an inventory of existing uses, parking, and potential fiscal impacts. At a Study Session meeting on November 7, 2019, following a walking tour of the Cypress District, the Planning Commission considered minor modifications to the Municipal Code to the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone and gave direction for consideration of text amendments. At its meeting on December 9, 2019, the Planning Commission discussed the Cypress District M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone potential text amendments. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Planning Commission directed staff to set a public hearing date to consider recommending the City Council approve Text Amendment 19-1 to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code that would add a Limited Events permit option as an accessory use to businesses through a simple permitting process, including standards and limitations; adopt proposed definitions of “Artist Studio,” “Architect Studio,” and “Events, Limited;” and amend the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone matrix to allow “Architect Studio” and “Events, Limited” as permitted uses. Analysis: Text Amendment A new permit known as a Limited Events Permit is proposed through the Administrative Permit process under Chapter 17.42 General Provisions, Conditions and Exceptional Use. The new Limited Events Permit would necessitate Zoning Code text amendments under Chapter 17.04 Definitions, Chapter 17.28.020 Land Use Regulations Matrix, and Chapter 17.42 General Provisions, Conditions and Exceptional Uses. Section 1. An Administrative Permit for Limited Events is proposed for low impact events that meet certain standards and limitations to minimize impacts to surrounding businesses and neighborhoods. The intention of the Limited Events Permit is to be an inexpensive, simple process for businesses seeking approval for smaller events not subject to Temporary Minor Special Events Permits. The new Limited Events Permit is an alternative to the Temporary Minor Special Event Permit, which is limited to 12 events per year. Section 17.04.050 of Chapter 17.04 of Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is amended by adding definition for “Limited Events.” Definition for Limited Events: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™265 Staff Report REPORT 20-0034 Events, Limited. "Limited events" means the provision of events as defined herein, but only as accessory to an established on-site use for limited periods of time such as openings for the purpose of showcasing art or other goods produced or manufactured in the M-1 Zone, such as for Artist Studios or manufacturers, and also allowing accessory retail that does not typically generate off-site impacts or contribute to impacts within the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone or adjacent residential districts in accordance with standards and limitations. The Limited Events Permit is proposed in the Cypress District M-1 Light Industrial zone; it would not apply to other M-1 Light Industrial zone areas of the City or the non-industrial zones, including the C- 1, C-2, and C-3 zones. The Cypress District is defined in PLAN HERMOSA as Creative Light Industrial (CI), which is a unique district of small businesses that rely on manufacturing, warehousing, or production on Cypress Avenue, 6th Street or Valley Drive. Limited Events is proposed as an accessory use to the main business use as defined in Chapter 17.04 of the Zoning Code as the following: "Accessory" means a building, part of a building or structure or use which is subordinate to, and the use of which is incidental to that of the main building, structure or use on the same lot. An application for a Limited Events Permit will be required as an Administrative Permit described in Chapter 17.55.030 of the Zoning Code, including the requirement for a floor plan and other plans to demonstrate compliance with the approved standards. It is anticipated that the staff time needed to process an application for a Limited Events Permit would be approximately the same as that of a Limited Live Entertainment Permit. Based on the amount of staff time anticipated to process the application, a fee of $520 would be needed in order to cover the City’s processing costs. The City Council will need to adopt a resolution establishing the fee for the Limited Events Permit, and at that time the Council may opt to approve a lower subsidized fee, as was done with the Limited Live Entertainment Permit. For example, the current fee for a Limited Live Entertainment Permit is $257. Rather than a permit which must be renewed annually, the proposal is for one-time issuance for a two-year Limited Events Permit with revocation ability. This is recommended as a business friendly, simplified process. Annual permit renewal requirements are time-consuming and may result in expired permits continuing operation requiring Code Enforcement activity. It should be noted that, according to Code described below, the permit will expire if it is not exercised in any 12-month period or if the permitted business ceases to exist. In such case a new permit application would be required. The revocation procedures proposed are described in Chapter 17.55.070 of the Zoning Code relating to Administrative Permits as the following: Any administrative permit may be revoked by the Director or the decision-making body for any of the following causes: A. That any term or condition has not been complied with; City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™266 Staff Report REPORT 20-0034 B. That the property for administrative permit has been granted is used or maintained in violation of any statute, law, regulation or condition of approval; C. That the use for which the administrative permit was granted has not been exercised for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, or has ceased to exist, or has been abandoned; or D. That the use for which the administrative permit was granted has been so exercised as to be detrimental to the public health or safety or so as to constitute a nuisance. Appeals for permit denial or revocation are described in Chapter 17.55.050 of the Zoning Code relating to Administrative Permits as the following: A. Decisions of the Community Development Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission by filing an appeal within fifteen (15) days of the Director’s decision, provided that upon affixing the signature of the applicant to an issued permit, the permit shall become effective and the right to appeal shall be waived. Appeals shall be filed in writing with the Community Development Department accompanied by a fee set by resolution of the City Council. Notice of hearing shall be given to the applicant at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing, unless the applicant agrees to waive the requirement so that the matter may be heard at an earlier time.

Section 17.04.050 of Chapter 17.04 of Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is amended by adding definitions as follows: Definition for Artist Studio: “Artist studio” means a workshop for one or more artists specializing in the visual arts including, but not limited to, painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture. Definition for Architect Studio: “Architect studio” means a creative work space with work tables, drawing tables and space for preparing models and graphic representations which may be in conjunction with ancillary office and storage area. Section 3. Based on feedback from the Planning Commission and recommendations from the business community, standards and limitations are proposed in the commercial zones through a Limited Events Permit. Requests for larger events beyond those permitted under new definition of “Events, Limited” may be considered under the category of “Temporary Minor Special Event” and would continue to be limited to 12 per year and approved on a case-by-case basis. It should be noted that the Planning Commission, at its December 9, 2019 meeting, suggested a range of frequency to be considered by the City Council. The Planning Commission also asked that frequency be discussed with the affected businesses. After discussions with all 3 businesses who have obtained Temporary Minor Special Event Permits in the Cypress District, the businesses have requested that no fewer than 3 Limited Events be permitted per calendar month. The proposed ordinance includes a frequency of 3 per month. If the Planning Commission recommends City Council consideration of the ordinance, it will be noted that the Planning Commission recommends further consideration regarding frequency of events with the City Council at that time.

Summary The proposed M-1 Light Manufacturing code text amendments in the Cypress District are intended to serve as an interim measure to bring the Zoning Code closer to the PLAN Hermosa General Plan vision and in anticipation of a more comprehensive update in the future. Environmental Analysis: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), because CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects proposed to be carried out or approved by public agencies. The project is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it allows for approval of limited events within approved businesses only. Additionally, the zone text changes are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061 states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No possibility exists that the proposed zone text amendments will have a significant effect on the environment because the zone text amendments will create a standard for limited event permits.

The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on January 21, 2020 to consider text amendments regarding definitions and standards for Limited Events. The current Municipal Code does not contain a definition or standards for Limited Events. These text amendments clarify the provisions applicable to limited events. SECTION 2. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), because CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects proposed to be carried out or approved by public agencies. The project is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it allows for approval of limited live entertainment within approved businesses only. Additi onally, the zone text changes are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061 states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No possibility exists that the proposed zone text amendments will have a significant effect on the environment because the zone text amendments will create standards for limited live entertainment permits. SECTION 3. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code to allow Limited Events are consistent with the City’s General Plan vision to support existing businesses while attracting new business and tourism through: a Creative Economy (Governance Policy 6.5), create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents (Land Use Policy 1.1, 1.4, and 1.8), a series of unique, destination-oriented districts throughout Hermosa Beach (Land Use Policy 3.1), and a strong sense of cultural and architectural heritage (Land Use Policy 10.5). The ordinance also furthers the general purpose of the zoning ordinance to address and review standards and criteria to assure compatibility as accessory uses within existing businesses. The amendments will not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals, and the amendments are necessary to carry out the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, including the orderly planned use of land resources. 271 2 SECTION 4.
