Page 7City of Hermosa Beach DRAFT13 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 20-0526 Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 18, 2020 Receive Tri-Annual Report for On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits Recommended Action: Receive and file the report for informational purposes. As noted in the report of June 22, 2020 this report covers the period from November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020. Based on the information in the report, no establishment has reached the “Standard Initiating Planning Commission Review.” Background: Since 2017 the tri-annual reviews of on-sale alcoholic beverage establishments includes the two-step process of providing an informational report before scheduling a hearing. The Process and Standards, updated in 2019, is Attachment 1. Changes to the process and reporting for this review, recommended by the Planning Commission, were approved by the City Council in March 2019, and include reporting and conducting the review three times a year. This is the second report in 2020 and covers the prior 6 months. The hearing to discuss and evaluate this report will be at the next Planning Commission Meeting, Tuesday August 18, 2020. The next report will be presented in October and will cover the period between March and August. The establishments required to prepare food to alcohol ratio reports for the first half of 2020 will be included in that report. Analysis: Police Reports and ABC Activity: The Police Report and ABC Activity are included as Attachment 2, with the last period report as Attachment 3. The current data sheet is Attachment 4 and officer security checks is Attachment 5. No establishment has met the threshold for inclusion in this report period. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™14 Staff Report REPORT 20-0526 In late March, 2020 the LA County Department of Public Health ordered the closure of non-essential businesses which included all bars and restaurants. Under the LA County Health order, restaurants were still permitted to serve to-go and take-out orders. With many of the bars and restaurants closed, the Police Department shifted their efforts to focus on issues related to COVID-19 which included the closures of the beach and Strand. Occupant Load: The threshold to trigger review is one (1). Code Enforcement routinely checks on-sale establishments and did not report occupant load violations during the review period. The presence of Code Enforcement and HBPD efforts has resulted in few warnings being issued. Warnings typically are issued when a place of business appears to or has been counted and confirmed to be close to its posted occupant load. Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention: We are working with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and have included their business inspection reports in past Tri Annual reviews. Due to Covid-19, the department has suspended the business license inspection program. Code Enforcement Statistical Data Relating to Business Checks of Alcohol Serving Establishments November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020 is contained in Attachment 6, with the last reporting period report as Attachment 7. Code Enforcement/Violation of CUP Conditions: Code Enforcement efforts have shifted in response to Covid-19. As the late night establishments have ceased activity, officers have changed schedules and duties to cover the more active daytime hours. Efforts include; posting Covid-19 safe practices signs on construction sites and educating workers, distributing county and city emergency declarations to businesses; advising the general public regarding the use of public spaces and social distancing protocol, monitoring businesses and public areas for compliance and, if needed, reporting violators to County Health Department. Violations that are both a code violation and a CUP violation are only counted once. Code Enforcement issued two citations during this reporting period. Although many other businesses received warnings, policy is to request compliance prior to issuing a Citation during a single shift. On December 13, 2019, Patrick Molloy’s received an Administrative Citation for the CUP violation of changes to the interior layout by adding an 8” elevated stage in a location other than that on approved plans. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™15 Staff Report REPORT 20-0526 On December 13, 2019, Palmilla’s received an Administrative Citation for the CUP violation of the outdoor dining west (37 Pier Avenue) area occupied after 11:00 p.m. On December 13, 2019, Locale 90 was issued an Administrative Citation for hosting live entertainment without the proper permit. They have since gone out of business. *Note, on May 5th, 2020, the Los Angeles County Health Department ordered Barnacles to close for a week due to lack of adherence to Emergency Orders. This did not occur during this reporting period, it is included for information only. Businesses required to submit food-to-alcohol sales ratio reports per conditions in their CUPs must continue to do so; failure to do so is counted as part of the CUP review. Waterman’s, 22 Pier Avenue, and Día de Campo, 1238 Hermosa Avenue, are required to submit quarterly reports, which need not be audited. Standing Room, 1320 Hermosa Avenue, must submit quarterly reports audited by a CPA. The reports for the first half of 2020 will be included in the next report. Based on the “Procedure for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permit” no businesses have reached the “Standard Initiating P.C. Review” based on the “standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potentially for a subsequent modification/revocation hearing.” General Plan Consistency: Evaluation of the City’s enforcement and police responses to achieve safety goals is consistent with Goal 5 of the Public Safety Element: High Quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors and the following policies under Goal 5: ·Public Safety 5.1 Crime deterrence. Regularly evaluate the incidence of crime and identify and implement measures to deter crime. ·Public Safety 5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community. ·Public Safety 5.3 Use of technology. Provide and use smart surveillance technology and communication systems to improve crime prevention and inform the community regarding actions to take in case of emergency. ·Public Safety 5.4 Physical design standards. Reduce opportunities for criminal activity through physical design standards and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles. ·Public Safety 5.8 Nuisance abatement. Encourage Police Department review of uses which may be characterized historically by high levels of nuisance (noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of criminal activity) providing for conditions of control of use to prevent adverse City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™16 Staff Report REPORT 20-0526 impacts on adjacent residences, schools, religious facilities, and similar “sensitive” uses. Additionally, Goal 2 of the Governance Element speaks to the importance of having the community, including business partners, be active and engaged in the decision-making process. Staff has found that collaboration with the Pier Plaza establishments to address safety concerns and improve access, lighting, and other aesthetics on the Plaza to be an effective partnership. Summary and Recommendations: The data relating to the Semi-Annual Review criteria is summarized below for specific businesses. *Most Code violations are also CUP violations and are not counted twice. Attachments: 1.Process and Standards, updated 2019 2.Police/ABC Report for this period 3.Police/ABC Report for last period 4.Police Statistics for this period 5.Police Officer Checks for this period 6.Code Enforcement Data for this period 7.Code Enforcement Data for last period Respectfully Submitted by: Bob Rollins, Building and Code Enforcement Official Approved: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 4 powered by Legistar™17 Process and Standards for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits 1) The CUP review process will consist of an administrative review process in which the on-sale establishments’ activities would be reviewed against an established set of criteria three times per year. 2) On-sale establishments with a CUP would be referred to the Planning Commission for a CUP review, and subsequently for a modification/revocation hearing if the Commission so decided upon its review, when they exceed established standards for each criteria to trigger such a review. 3) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potential modification/revocation hearing will be based on the frequency or number of incidents/violations within a stipulated timeframe. 4) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potentially for a subsequent modification/revocation hearing are as indicated in Table 1 below. 5) The administrative review of CUPs should be conducted three times per year with an evaluation of the on-sale establishments’ activities for the prior 6-month period. 6) The standards or criteria of the CUP review system will be made readily available to all on-sale establishments with CUPs and the public via the City website and/or other appropriate media (including direct mailings) to minimize any confusion over what standards will initiate a Planning Commission review and potential modification/revocation hearing. 7) Information from Police and Fire Department related to patterns of patronage of on-sale establishments (as indicated by investigations of intoxicated persons after incidents) and consistency with “Model House Policies” may be generally considered by the Planning Commission as factors in whether the business is being operated responsibly and engaging in the responsible service of alcohol. This information may be considered by the planning commission, as additional justification for holding a CUP review hearing after referral based on the criteria above has been determined and as evidence in any CUP modification/revocation hearing. Table 1. CUP Review Standards Standard Initiating P.C. Review(a) Criterion (Number of incidents in any 6 months) Violation of Operating Hours 2 ABC Violations (underage serving, violation of hours, etc.) 2 Overcrowding Citation 1 Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises 2 Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security 2 (Combination of any 3 or more) Violation of any CUP Condition (b) ABC Violations (underage service, violation of hours, etc.) Overcrowding Citation Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security Noise Citation Health Department Violation Outdoor Encroachment Permit Violation Building Code Violation (incl. remodeling without permit) Sign Ordinance Violation NPDES Violation (Administrative Determination) “Excessive Number” of Calls for Police Service “Excessive Number” of Public Complaints to City “Excessive Number” of Criminal Events on/adjacent to Premises NOTE: (a) – Recommended threshold number; Chief of Police may recommend CUP review to Commission at his/her discretion—at any time regardless of number of incidents in any period of time, to determine whether revocation/medication is appropriate under HBMC 17.70.010—as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. (b) Non-submittal of food to alcohol sales ratio reports in a timely manner when required by a CUP is considered a violation of the CUP condition. Reporting of the food to alcohol sales ratio required by a CUP, ABC license, or the Municipal Code may be required and considered during any modification/revocation action. 18 Hermosa Beach Police Department November 2019 – April 2020 CUP Review 1 Police Reports: The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) conducts a thorough review of all police reports related to establishments which hold an ABC alcohol permit. Each report is typically reviewed individually by more than three people. The review process is initiated by the Crime Analyst, then a review by the Operations Bureau Division Commander (Lieutenant), the Police Captain and ultimately the Chief of Police. The Lieutenant and the Captain make recommendations to the Police Chief regarding their determination of an establishment’s culpability related to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards. In addition, the Operations Bureau Division Commander personally makes contact with owners and managers of establishments related to any concern(s) the Police Department may have of issues that do not rise to a CUP violation. The purpose of this communication is to ensure that the establishment hears directly from the Police Department in an effort to address issues before they rise to CUP violations or other potential safety concerns. Police reports are initiated by a Call for Service (CFS). A CFS begins when someone requests the help of the police (typically by a call to dispatch) or if an officer observes an incident/violation/or contacts someone in an enforcement capacity. A CFS may result in a report, citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. HBPD reviews both CFS and police reports related to ABC permitted addresses. It is important to understand that a CFS or a report at a specific address does not mean an incident happened inside the address. As an example, a traffic accident or a fight reported at 1234 Main Street does not mean the incident occurred inside the address or is associated with the business. The address may simply be associated as a landmark (identifying the location of an incident) wherein the location itself had nothing to do with the incident. That said, a location with a CFS or report should not be assumed to be problematic or involved in the incident as the CFS or report may have nothing to do with the location other than used as a landmark/identifying the location of an incident which occurred outside of the location. In reporting back to the Planning Commission, HBPD will note the number of CFS and Reports associated with an address. We also report back the category of the reports (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.). An establishment will not have a CUP violation charged against them, unless, in HBPD’s review process it is determined that the establishment was complicit or clearly negligent in its actions which results in a violation of the CUP standards (Table 1.) As an example, two people bump into each other inside of an establishment and one person hits the other person without warning. Without additional information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence, the establishment would not be charged with a CUP violation. As the Planning Commission reviews HBPD’s statistics related to each location, it should be understood that a location may have 4 “Total” reports, of which only 3 are “reviewed” would mean one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of report (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.), may or may not be charged against the establishment based on the determination made the HBPD Chief of Police. As noted, this determination will be made based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence. If it is determined that an establishment is complicit or negligent, a number will be assigned to the “Counted for CUP” column. 19 Hermosa Beach Police Department November 2019 – April 2020 CUP Review 2 For context, the HBPD and the FBI categorizes assaults, sexual assaults and narcotics violations as ‘serious crime.” With this in mind and with the agreement of the Planning Commission, it has been determined that two (2) incidents of “Serious Crime on Premises Indicative of Lack of Adequate Security” is the established criteria needed for the Chief of Police to request a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) review by the Planning Commission (as noted on Table 1 of the CUP review standards). That said, the municipal code also provides: “the Chief of Police retains authority to recommend CUP reviews to the Planning Commission at his/her discretion— regardless of the number of incidents in any period of time, as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. Between 11/01/19 and 04/30/20, 11 police reports and 18 CFS related to establishments with CUPs merited review by police staff. Between 11/01/19 and 04/30/20,Barnacles had zero reports, and 3 CFS that were reviewed. One CFS was previously reviewed during the last CUP. The 2 current CFS that were reviewed, one was counted for CUP. This call was for subjects loitering at the location. Even though they were not cited, the incident was considered an ABC and LA health order violation. The general manager of Barnacles had previously been warned regarding several patrons on the patio with drinks who did not order food. Local 90 had one incident that counted against them but that incident was previously reviewed and counted on the last CUP report. See attached 2019 November – 2020 April CUP 6 Month Review Chart.

This grant provided funding for officers from each agency to work together to impact alcohol related issues in each city. While this program is primarily enforcement related, there is an educational component where police and ABC personnel meet with the staff/ownership at on-site and off-site sales establishments to review expectations and provide guidance. Updates of any future ABC grants will be provided to the Planning Commission. 20 Hermosa Beach Police Department November 2019 – April 2020 CUP Review 3 Responsible Beverage Service Training: On March 10, 2020 Behavioral Health Services provided RBS training in Hermosa Beach and had 15 attendees. 10 attendees were from Hermosa Beach establishments and 5 attendees were from Manhattan Beach establishments. 12 of the 15 attendees passed the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.

Each report is typically reviewed individually by more than three people. The review process is initiated by the Crime Analyst, then a review by the Operations Bureau Division Commander (Lieutenant), the Police Captain and ultimately the Chief of Police.

City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™37 Staff Report REPORT 20-0530 The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on April 17, 2018, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. On April 17, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the project as presented subject to approved plans and conditions of approval contained within PC Resolution 18-12 (attached). Condition 28 of the current approval states “Approval of these permits shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of approval by the Planning Commission, unless significant construction or improvements or the use authorized hereby has commenced. One or more extensions of time may be requested. No extension shall be considered unless requested, in writing to the Community Development Director including the reason therefore, at least 60 days prior to the expiration date. No additional notice of expiration will be provided.” On April 2, 2020, City Planning, Building and Public Works staff held a phone call meeting with the property owner/applicant to discuss steps necessary to move forward with construction before the April 17, 2020 expiration, which have now since expired. The applicant outlined events which set them back and lead to the condominium entitlements ultimately expiring before they could begin construction. The project architect fell behind schedule for two months because of a family emergency. The project architect has since finished the structural plans in a year with the help of City staff. Addressing Civil sheet and Low Impact Development plans corrections and designing a solution to retain water on-site while avoiding rain barrels in the required setbacks took approximately 6 months to complete and obtain approval. The last delay is the nationwide pandemic. In March and April, many offices and businesses were closed taking it longer to coordinate to pay for the school fees and the sanitation sewage connection. Demolition was completed in February, 2020. Civil Sheets and Low Impact Development Plans were approved by the Public Works Department on March 9, 2020 and final building plans were approved shortly after on April 7, 2020. The shoring permit was issued on June 3, 2020. At this time the only remaining items required to issue the building permit and begin construction is reinstatement of the expired condominium entitlements from the Planning Commission. For the reasons listed above, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the request. Provided below is an analysis of the project which remains unaltered from the Planning Commission’s initial consideration of the project. The applicant proposes to construct two attached condominium units on an approximately 4,724 square foot lot, located west of Pacific Coast Highway on the south side of 5th Street. The subject site and surrounding properties are zoned R-2 Two-Family Family Residential, with residential uses in the M-1 Light Manufacturing to the west, and SPA-7 (Specific Plan Area 7) to the east of the block. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences. The lot is currently vacant, with demolition of the prior single-family residence, and shoring has been implemented in preparation for construction. Both units are proposed to have a contemporary architectural with exterior treatments of off white colored smooth finish stucco, silver framed windows, and burgundy exterior wood door.

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) have been submitted and reviewed for compliance with applicable sections of the zoning ordinance. Unit 1 will contain a two-car garage, living room, bedroom and bathroom on the basement floor level; three bedrooms and bathrooms, and family room on the first floor level; a living room, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and dining room on the second floor level. Unit 2 will contain a two-car garage, living room, and a bathroom on the basement level; three bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor level; a living room, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and dining room on the second floor level. Both units are proposed to have a roof deck. Both units will exceed the minimum open space requirement of 300 square feet per unit with 100 square feet of open space adjacent to the main living area, which meets the R-2 standards. Unit 1 will provide 239 square feet of open space on 2nd floor level. Unit 2 will provide 203 square feet of deck area adjacent to the primary living area on the second floor level. Both units will have a roof deck area with a maximum of 100 square feet counted towards the open space requirement. Access and Parking: Each unit will provide a two-car garage, and all parking will be accessed from 5 th Street. Parking for both units will be provided from a 9-foot wide driveway on 5th Street that is proposed to be relocated immediately adjacent and share a curb cut with the existing driveway at 608 5th Street. As a result, there will be no loss or gain in the amount of existing on-street parking. Landscape and Green Measures: All plants must be water conserving as required in Hermosa Beach Water Conservation and Drought Management Ordinances. The landscape plan includes a mixture of drought tolerant trees to include New Zealand Flax, Sea Pink, Chalk Dudleya, Cassa Blue Flax Lily, and a 24-inch box Gold Medallion Tree. The proposed landscape plan shows less than 50% required permeable exterior surface area on-site. Therefore, the project is conditioned to include catch basins with sump pumps to retain water on-site pursuant to HBMC Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control Regulations. Additionally an automatic irrigation system is proposed for the landscape areas. The project is required to meet Title 24 standards: 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 and surrounding properties are zoned R-2 Two- Family Family Residential, with residential uses in the M-1 Light Manufacturing to the west, and SPA- 7 (Specific Plan Area 7) to the east of the block, and R-1 One Family Residential east of the block. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™40 Staff Report REPORT 20-0530 The proposed front yard setback of 10 feet meets the minimum 5-foot front yard setback required per HBMC Section 17.22.060.D and HBMC Section 17.12.020. Subdivision Map: The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map. The 4,724 square foot lot can accommodate two units consistent with the minimum requirement of 1,750 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. The lot size is consistent with prevailing lot sizes, street frontages within the same zone, and the General Plan designation for lots in the vicinity, and thus complies with Hermosa Beach ordinances and subdivision of lots. The project is conditioned upon payment of Park and Recreation Area Dedication fees per unit as there is inadequate area on-site for land dedication per City required Parks and Recreation Area fees. Utilities provided to the lot serve the existing development, and capacity exists to provide public water, sewers, storm drains and utilities to serve the increased density. The submitted plans were preliminarily reviewed by the Fire Department, Public Works Department and Building 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. General Plan Consistency: Land Use: PLAN Hermosa (the City’s combined General Plan and Local Coastal Program) designates the area of the subject property as Medium Density Residential. The purpose of this land use designation is to provide for enhancement and reinvestment in mixed scale residential neighborhoods, and it allows small scale residential uses, including single-family, duplex, condominiums and townhouses, as well as educational, cultural and public assembly uses that are compatible and neighborhood serving. The allowed density range is 13.1 - 25 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project is consistent in this regard in that it includes a two-unit residential condominium development at a density of 18.4 dwelling units per acre. Character Area: The property lies within the Greenbelt Neighborhood Character Area, which includes low- and medium-density uses located between the Hermosa Valley Greenbelt and Pacific Coast Highway. The future vision for this character area is to maintain the building scale and form of this neighborhood, while enhancing access to local neighborhood serving commercial uses. The proposed 2-unit development will be consistent in that it will serve as a medium-density residential use. Desired Form and Character: The desired building design and orientation for the Greenbelt Neighborhood Character Area includes designing two- to four-unit complexes to resemble single- family homes with articulation, and separate entrances are desirable. In addition, the design and orientation of the buildings in this neighborhood vary due to the sloped nature of the lots. The proposed design is consistent with the desired building form and character in that it features an articulated front building façade, and provides setbacks consistent with and exceeds the 5-foot City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™41 Staff Report REPORT 20-0530 minimum required front yard setback in the R-2 zone. The subject property contained a single-family residence, which has since been demolished, and the lot contains an approximate 10-foot wide curb cut located east of the subject property’s frontage on 5th Street. The proposal is to relocate the existing curb cut to the northwest corner of the lot. The new curb cut would provide a width of 10-feet and the driveway apron is to be shared with the adjacent property to the east of the subject property. The single driveway further promotes the resemblance to a single-family home. As a result, there will no loss or gain in on-street parking spaces on 5th Street, and the proposal includes a new sidewalk on 5th Street which will strengthen the east-west connection for pedestrians. The proposed design features implement Land Use Policies 4.10 (pedestrian access), 6.5 (provision of sidewalks) and 6.7 (pedestrian-oriented design), as well as Mobility Policies 3.1 (enhance public right-of-ways), 3.10 (require ADA standards), and 7.5 (appropriate sidewalk widths). In this way, the proposed project is consistent with the intent of the desired public realm design Hermosa Hills Neighborhood Character Area and associated applicable PLAN Hermosa goals and policies. Summary: The project as conditioned is consistent with the zoning code, subdivision laws and other relevant provisions of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and PLAN Hermosa, as the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed development. The specific project findings for a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the Government Code Section 66474 and Sections 16.08.060, 17.22, 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code are provided in the attached resolution. Therefore, staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the reinstatement of expired condominium entitlements (Conditional Use Permit 20-3, Precise Development Plan 20-7, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82004) for a previously approved two- unit attached condominium project at 634 5th Street, subject to conditions, 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 THE REINSTATEMENT OF EXPIRED CONDOMINIUM ENTITLEMENTS- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 20-3, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN 20-7, AND VESTING TENATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 82004 FOR A TWO- UNIT ATTACHED CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 634 5th 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 July 27, 2020 by the property owner/applicant Son an Thu Pham, for development of property located at 634 5th Street, seeking approval the reinstatement of expired condominium entitlements through approval of Conditional Use Permit 20-3, Precise Development Plan 20-7, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82004 for a proposed two-unit attached residential condominium project. Section 2. An application was previously filed on May 24, 2017 by the property owner/applicant Son an Thu Pham, for development of property located at 634 5th Street, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 17-8, Precise Development Plan 17-8, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #82004 for a two-unit attached residential condominium project. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on April 17, 2018, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. On April 17, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the project as presented subject to approved plans and conditions of approval contained within PC Resolution 18-12. Entitlements are valid for a twenty-four (24) month period from the date of approval by the Planning Commission, unless significant construction or improvements or the use authorized hereby has commenced. The entitlements expired April 17, 2020, and significant construction or improvements or the use authorized had not commenced. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application for reinstatement of expired condominium entitlements on August 18, 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 43 2 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 consistent with the General Plan Medium Density Residential designation and R-2 zone because the project is an allowed use and has a density of less than 25 dwelling units per acre, and as conditioned complies with all applicable development standards, including that it will not create lots smaller than a 40-foot width and having less than 4,000 square feet. 2. The site is physically suitable for a two-unit attached residential condominium project with Unit 1 and Unit 2 containing three levels with one guest parking space to be shared by both units. 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 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 Section 8.44.095 subject to maintenance agreements. 4. The proposed subdivision will front on a public street and will not front on any alleys, will provide vehicular access from 5th 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 compatible and consistent with applicable elements of the City’s General Plan and the prevailing lot sizes and lot frontage of the immediate environment, is consistent with purposes of the designation, density and development standards, and parking, access and services are provided. 6. The project as conditioned will conform to all zoning and condominium standards and will be compatible with neighboring properties, which are developed with similar multi-story single-and 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 Gui delines Section 15303(b). 44 3 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 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 and surrounding properties are zoned R-2 Two-Family Family Residential, with residential use in the M-1 Light Manufacturing to the west, and SPA-7 (Specific Plan Area 7) to the east of the block. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences. In addition, the proposed two-unit attached condominium is conforming to all zoning requirements including adequate on-site parking spaces, which will reduce the impacts to neighboring properties because the existing development does not meet Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) requirements regarding on-site parking. The proposed use is consistent with the existing residential development type and densities, therefore no adv erse impacts are identified. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need; The prior single-family residence, which has since been demolished, provided one parking space in the garage and another parking space in the driveway, which does not meet HBMC requirements for on-site parking. The proposed two-unit attached condominium will meet HBMC parking requirements because it will provide a two two-garage and one shared guest parking space at the southwest corner of the subject lot.; In addition, the proposed project will relocate an existing 10-foot wide driveway from the northwest corner of the subject property to northeast corner in order to retain the amount of existing on-street parking spaces on 5th Street. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility; The proposed use is two-family residential, which is consistent with the surrounding properties in the vicinity, which also contain residential uses of similar density. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area; 5th Street is designated in the General Plan as a local street, and has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development and surrounding neighborhood. 45 4 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; The proposed two-unit condominium is designed with a building height and contemporary architectural style to complement the nearby multi-family and single-family residential buildings in the neighborhood. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences, schools, churches, hospitals and playgrounds; The proposed project will provide a building entrance to the front unit at the 5th Street frontage, and the proposed vehicle access for both units is provided from a single shared driveway on 5th Street, all of which is consistent with the design of surrounding residential developments. It is not anticipated that a residential development would have a negative impact on the schools, churches, playgrounds or hospitals in the area, as those institutions and facilities are designed and designated to serve the residents of the area. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; The proposed two-unit attached condominium is not anticipated to create adverse impacts because the existing and proposed use of the property is residential, which is also consistent with the uses within the surrounding neighborhood. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; The existing and proposed residential use is already served by the various utility companies, infrastructure, and municipal services. The proposed residential use is not anticipated to place additional burden on current infrastructure and services. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms; The proposed project does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed residential use and building design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in t he Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and General Plan. 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 20-3, Precise Development Plan 20-7, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82004 for a two-unit attached condominium subject to the following Conditions of Approval: General: 1.

Applicant:Madani Akanour Mix it Up LLC 114 Pier Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Owner:C and S Aberle Trust, c/o Sharon Aberle 909 Alandele Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90036 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving a Parking Plan finding that the use is a snack shop and less than required parking is merited due to the parking demand characteristics of the proposed use at 114 Pier Avenue and determine the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Project Summary: GENERAL PLAN:Community Commercial (CC) ZONING:Specific Plan Area 11 (SPA-11) FLOOR AREA (EXISTING/PROPOSED):556 sq.ft. / No change PRIOR USE:Retail Use PROPOSED USE:Snack Shop PARKING FOR 556 S.F. COMMERCIAL RETAIL AND/OR SNACK SHOP REQUIRED/EXISTING/PROPOSED:2 spaces/ 0 spaces/ no change PARKING IF 556 S.F. RESTAURANT: REQUIRED/EXISTING/PROPOSED:6 spaces/ 0 spaces/ no change ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt, Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities, as the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. Background: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™76 Staff Report REPORT 20-0531 The applicant is seeking determination of a new establishment (Mix It Up Cafe) as a snack shop, located at 114 Pier Avenue, on the south side of Pier Avenue between Hermosa Avenue and Palm Drive. The applicant requests that the establishment be classified as a snack shop and that required parking spaces be based on the retail commercial standard, rather than the higher standard required for restaurants, due to characteristics of the proposed use and location. 114 Pier Avenue was previously occupied by Salvatore’s, which was a jewelry retail store. Salvatore’s started operating at this location in 2004 and their business license expired in February 2020. Mix It Up Cafe, is a family-owned and operated, small business that proposes to serve fast sandwiches, with an emphasis on the shawarma wrap. This will be the first Mix It Up Cafe establishment and will be flagship location. The business is looking to serve the community of residents, employees of local businesses, and visitors who are already coming to the area, with a “prepare and take-away” approach. Proposed hours are 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Monday through Wednesday; 6:00 AM - 2:00 AM Thursday through Saturday and 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday. The business will provide breakfast items and coffee for residents and local business employees to walk to in the morning hours. The business then expects to serve a large lunch crowd and continuing throughout the afternoon through the dinner- hours. There will be an online option for placing orders in advance to be ready on arrival to take and enjoy. The Downtown District is a pedestrian destination and as such, the Mediterranean grab-and-go business will rely on pedestrian foot traffic as their patron base. Analysis: The applicant has applied for a Parking Plan to allow the parking for the proposed snack shop use to be based on retail commercial parking requirements (rather than restaurant parking requirements) pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Sections 17.44.030(O) and 17.44.210. The analysis includes determination of whether the proposed use is a snack shop and whether the characteristics of the use, its location, size and other factors may result in less parking demand than a restaurant use, thereby allowing the retail commercial parking standard to apply, so no additional parking is required. Snack shop determination: The applicant requests the proposed business be considered a snack shop on the basis that the use will be conducted consistent with the definition of a snack bar or snack shop as set forth in HBMC Section 17.04.050 Commercial Land Use Definitions: "Snack bar or snack shop" means an establishment with twenty-five (25) or less seats that is distinguished from a restaurant as it does not include waiter/waitress table service, except queuing, (intermittent delivery of purchased goods) and does not serve full meals or have a kitchen capable of serving meals but instead serves snacks or nonalcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises or for take-out; specifically, items such as donuts and other baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, cookies, coffee, tea and juices are considered snacks.” Staff finds that the proposed use and characteristics of the operation are consistent with the definition of snack shop stated in the HBMC for the following reasons: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™77 Staff Report REPORT 20-0531 ·The business will provide a total of five seats within the customer dining area (not to exceed 25 seats) and one shared dining countertop as noted on proposed plans. The front dining space is very small at 150 square feet and is limited in seats and the food preparation space is also very small at 139 square feet when compared to a restaurant kitchen. Use Square Footage Front dining space 150 sq. ft. (27%) Food preparation space 139 sq. ft. (25%) Employee break space 50 sq. ft. (9%) Restroom 100 sq. ft. (18%) Halls/access 117 sq. ft. (21%) TOTAL 556 sq. ft. ·Customers will place and pick up orders at the counter; no waiter/waitress table service will be provided. ·The business will not serve full meals and instead will serve quick-serve products limited to sandwiches, sides, ice cream, coffee, pre-bottled soft drinks and water. ·The small kitchen includes approximately 139 square feet of food preparation space which occupies 25% of the business floor area. The floor plan indicates that there will be limited counter/food preparation space and that there is only one work station. Cooking equipment is within arm’s reach which will allow the establishment to operate with a limited number of staff (2 employees). The compact kitchen includes a freezer/fridge combo, 4 burner stove, flattop grill combo, deep fryer, 2 shawarma grill machines (spit), Type 2 Hood/back shelf ventilator for removal of heat and moisture, coffee machine, and ice cream churning machine to fulfill the intent of serving quick serve products, not full meals. The proposed kitchen can be distinguished from a restaurant kitchen, which is equipped for preparing and serving full meals, for the following reasons. o Restaurant kitchens typically include additional facilities such as multiple food preparation and serving stations. A station is a designated area where a certain type of food is prepared. Stations help keep a restaurant kitchen running smoothly. Restaurants also typically include a kitchen line, which is the area where the servers pick up their food. It's often operated by the expeditor; the individual who's responsible for sending dishes to the dining room and who ensures meals are presentable. In larger kitchens, the expeditor might also communicate the wait staff's orders to the cook(s) in the kitchen. The kitchen line may include garnish, plates, a spindle for order tickets, and heating lamps to keep the waiting food hot. Restaurant kitchens are also larger and stations are usually more spread out allowing for fewer collisions with the larger number of back of house restaurant staff.Kitchen staffing at restaurants typically include chef(s), waiters and waitresses, food preparation staff, expeditors and often times back of house management. Restaurant kitchens are not laid out to prepare snacks and quick serve food. They are designed to provide full meals to perhaps several hundreds of people every day depending on the size City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™78 Staff Report REPORT 20-0531 of the restaurant and season. ·The snacks and nonalcoholic beverages are served for consumption on the premises or for take-out. Snack shop parking determination: A snack shop as defined in Section 17.04.050 may be considered as a retail use, and the Planning Commission may apply the retail commercial parking standard if it meets the criteria set forth in Section 17.44.030(O): “Snack Bar/Snack Shop” The parking requirements for a snack bar and/or snack shop shall be the same as that for a restaurant, unless it can be shown to the Planning Commission that the characteristics of the building, its location, size and other mitigating factors such as limited service area relative to gross floor area and limited seating capacity result in less parking demand than for a restaurant use. In these cases the Planning Commission may consider the retail commercial requirement for parking, pursuant to Section 17.44.210 Parking Plans.” Staff finds that the characteristics of the proposed use demonstrates it will result in less parking demand than that generated by a restaurant, as stated in Section 17.44.030(O) for the following reasons: ·The approximately 556 square foot tenant space is small with minimal seating and eating surfaces, customary of a snack shop use, and the service area is limited in size and equipment which indicates the use will not function as a restaurant and will result in less parking demand. The applicant proposes no expansion to the space. ·The proposed use with its quick-preparation and quick-serve menu items and minimal seating is not expected to generate a high proportion of destination specific trips. The business will be reliant upon foot traffic from patrons already traversing the area (and presumably already parked). ·The proposed use will also serve patrons already visiting nearby businesses (health and fitness studios, banks, beauty salons, medical services, and retail shops) and the beach, who may utilize nearby public parking. ·Sandwiches tend to be a quick serve product due to limited preparation time and minimal ingredients and food components and these establishments tend to have quick turnover of patrons due to the “grab-and-go” nature of sandwich food products, as compared to a typical restaurant. The sides, ice cream and drinks are also consistent with the snack shop definition. Similar snack shop determinations have been made at 25 Pier Avenue, ITA Italian Street Food (2018), 1227 Hermosa Avenue, North Shore Poke (2017), 1120 Hermosa Avenue, Street Tacos Gourmet Taco Stand (2012) currently Poke Bar, and 136 Pier Ave, Subway (2010). ·The limited kitchen and storage service area with limited equipment and minimal seating with a total of five seats within the customer dining area (not to exceed 25 seats) and one shared dining countertop is not expected to create parking demand equivalent to that created by a restaurant use. ·The number of employees on the largest shift will be two and there will be two shifts per day, which is less than the number of employees required by a typical restaurant. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™79 Staff Report REPORT 20-0531 Determination that parking is adequate: An evaluation of whether adequate parking is provided pursuant to Section 17.44.210 can be summarized as follows: ·The retail/general office commercial parking standard requires one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. The tenant space is 556 square feet in floor area and does not meet current parking requirements of 2 spaces for retail/general commercial uses because there is no parking provided on-site, as the entire site is occupied by the building. ·The tenant space has historically been adequately served by public parking for prior general commercial uses. ·The subject property is located in the downtown pedestrian-oriented district, and the proposed use with its limited menu items and minimal seating is not expected to generate a high proportion of destination specific trips. The business will be reliant upon foot traffic from patrons already traversing the area (and presumably already parked). The proposed use will also serve patrons already visiting nearby businesses (health and fitness studios, banks, beauty salons, medical services, and retail shops) and the beach, who may utilize the nearby City parking facilities. ·The proposed use is eligible for consideration as a snack shop designation pursuant to HBMC Section 17.04.050. ·The proposed use exhibits the characteristics of a snack shop. Parking demand for the proposed use is therefore similar to retail use and will result in less parking demand than for a restaurant, and therefore the retail commercial parking standard may be applied, meaning in this case that no additional parking is required. General Plan Consistency: The establishment is located within the Community Commercial (CC) General Plan land use area and the purpose is to provide opportunities and locations for uses designed to serve the shopping, dining, and employment desires of the entire community. The Community Commercial designation is a major generator of local economic activity with a mix of locally-owned businesses and regional or national retailers present within this designation. This designation is found in many centralized locations throughout the community primarily along the city’s major corridors and in Downtown. Community Commercial land uses primarily serve the local market, though they may also serve the needs of visitors and residents of nearby jurisdictions. Uses on the ground floor are reserved for retail, restaurant, and other sales-tax revenue generating uses, while offices and personal service uses are encouraged on upper floors. Residential uses are not allowed in this designation as its intent is to promote and protect retail, office, and service uses that diversify the City’s tax base. The establishment is also located within the Downtown District Character Area where the types of uses provide services and activities associated with the local beach culture to residents as well as visitors to the city. The mix of community and recreational uses serve a functional role in meeting the daily needs and activities of residents and visitors, and accommodate coastal-related recreation and commercial uses which serve the year-round needs of residents and visitors and are attractive and compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. The snack shop use is City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™80 Staff Report REPORT 20-0531 a visitor serving accommodation and is an appropriate use within the Recreational Commercial and Downtown District area. General Plan Land Use Goal 1.4 promotes diverse commercial areas through promoting the development of diversified and unique commercial districts with locally owned businesses and job- or revenue-generating uses. As such, the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. Summary: The applicant has requested that the establishment be classified as a snack shop and that required parking spaces be based on the retail commercial standard rather than the restaurant standard due to characteristics of the proposed use and location. The use is consistent with the snack shop definition provided in the zoning code. Further, the new use is not expected to generate a high proportion of destination specific trips and is not expected to increase parking demand. Therefore, the parking requirement may be based on the retail commercial parking standard as requested by the applicant at 114 Pier Avenue.

RESOLUTION NO. 20- X A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PARKING PLAN FOR A NEW FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT (MIX IT UP CAFE) FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THAT IT’S A SNACK SHOP WITH CHARACTERISTICS TO ALLOW CONSIDERATION OF THE RETAIL COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING AT 114 PIER AVENUE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Madani Akanour with Mix it Up LLC on July 20, 2020, seeking approval for a Parking Plan to classify a new food service establishment (Mix it Up Cafe) as a snack shop for purpose of calculating parking requirements at 114 Pier Avenue. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for Parking Plan 20-3 on August 18, 2020, at which time the testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. Based on the Staff Report, testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The site is zoned Specific Plan Area 11 (SPA-11) which allows food establishment uses, as well as reduction in parking requirements in accordance with a Parking Plan. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The snack shop use is a visitor serving accommodation and is an appropriate use within the Community Commercial and Downtown District area. 3. The applicant requests to convert an approximately 556 square foot commercial retail space to a snack shop use serving a limited menu of quick-serve sandwiches, sides, ice cream, coffee, pre-bottled soft drinks and water. 4. The small kitchen includes approximately 139 square feet of food preparation space which occupies 25% of the business floor area. The floor plan indicates that there will be limited counter/food preparation space and that there is only one work station. Cooking equipment is within arm’s reach which will allow the establishment to operate with a limited number of staff (2 employees). The compact kitchen includes a freezer/fridge combo, 4 burner stove, flattop grill combo, deep fryer, 2 shawarma grill machines (spit), Type 2 Hood/back shelf ventilator for removal of heat and moisture, coffee machine, and ice cream churning machine to fulfill the intent of serving quick serve products, not full 82 meals. The proposed kitchen can be distinguished from a restaurant kitchen, which is equipped for preparing and serving full meals, for the following reasons.  Restaurant kitchens typically include additional facilities such as multiple food preparation and serving stations. A station is a designated area where a certain type of food is prepared. Stations help keep a restaurant kitchen running smoothly. Restaurants also typically include a kitchen line, which is the area where the servers pick up their food. It's often operated by the expeditor; the individual who's responsible for sending dishes to the dining room and who ensures meals are presentable. In larger kitchens, the expeditor might also communicate the wait staff's orders to the cook(s) in the kitchen. The kitchen line may include garnish, plates, a spindle for order tickets, and heating lamps to keep the waiting food hot. Restaurant kitchens are also larger and stations are usually more spread out allowing for fewer collisions with the larger number of back of house restaurant staff.Kitchen staffing at restaurants typically include chef(s), waiters and waitresses, food preparation staff, expeditors and often times back of house management. Restaurant kitchens are not laid out to prepare snacks and quick serve food. They are designed to provide full meals to perhaps several hundreds of people every day depending on the size of the restaurant and season. 5. Customers will order items from the service counter. No table service will be provided. A limited seating area with a total of five seats (not to exceed 25 seats) will be provided and one shared dining countertop. 6. The tenant space is non-conforming to parking with no parking provided on-site, historically relying on public parking for prior uses. Section 4. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission makes the following findings that the use is consistent with the snack shop designation, the characteristics of the proposed use are similar to retail use and will result in less parking demand than for a restaurant, and parking is adequate based on the retail commercial parking standard: 1. The business is appropriately classified as a snack shop in accordance with H.B.M.C. Section 17.04.050 because: A. The business will provide a total of five seats within the customer dining area (not to exceed 25 seats) and one shared dining countertop as noted on proposed plans. The front dining space is very small at 150 square feet and is limited in seats and the food preparation space is also very small at 139 square feet when compared to a restaurant kitchen. Use Square Footage Front dining space 150 sq. ft. (27%) Food preparation space 139 sq. ft. (25%) Employee break space 50 sq. ft. (9%) Restroom 100 sq. ft. (18%) Halls/access 117 sq. ft. (21%) 83 TOTAL 556 sq. ft. B. Customers will place and pick up orders at the counter; no waiter/waitress table service will be provided. C. The business will not serve full meals and instead will serve quick-serve products limited to sandwiches, sides, ice cream, coffee, pre-bottled soft drinks and water. D. The small kitchen includes approximately 139 square feet of food preparation space which occupies 25% of the business floor area. The floor plan indicates that there will be limited counter/food preparation space and that there is only one work station. Cooking equipment is within arm’s reach which will allow the establishment to operate with a limited number of staff (2 employees). The compact kitchen includes a freezer/fridge combo, 4 burner stove, flattop grill combo, deep fryer, 2 shawarma grill machines (spit), Type 2 Hood/back shelf ventilator for removal of heat and moisture, coffee machine, and ice cream churning machine to fulfill the intent of serving quick serve products, not full meals. The proposed kitchen can be distinguished from a restaurant kitchen, which is equipped for preparing and serving full meals, for the following reasons.  Restaurant kitchens typically include additional facilities such as multiple food preparation and serving stations.

They are designed to provide full meals to perhaps several hundreds of people every day depending on the size of the restaurant and season. E. The snacks and nonalcoholic beverages are served for consumption on the premises or for take-out. 2. Pursuant to H.B.M.C. Sections 17.44.030(O) and 17.44.210, the retail commercial parking standard (one space per 250 square fee t of gross floor area) is appropriate for this use with no additional parking required for this change of use from retail to snack shop. Adequate parking will be provided for customers, clients, visitors and employees because: 84 A. The approximately 556 square foot tenant space is small with minimal seating and eating surfaces, customary of a snack shop use, and the service area is limited in size and equipment which indicates the use will not function as a restaurant and will result in less parking demand. The applicant proposes no expansion to the space. B. The proposed use with its quick-preparation and quick-serve menu items and minimal seating is not expected to generate a high proportion of destination specific trips. The business will be reliant upon foot traffic from patrons already traversing the area (and presumably already parked). C. The proposed use will also serve patrons already visiting nearby businesses (health and fitness studios, banks, beauty salons, medical services, and retail shops) and the beach, who may utilize nearby public parking. D. Sandwiches tend to be a quick serve product due to limited preparation time and minimal ingredients and food components and these establishments tend to have quick turnover of patrons due to the “grab-and-go” nature of sandwich food products, as compared to a typical restaurant. The sides, ice cream and drinks are also consistent with the snack shop definition. 25 Pier Avenue, ITA Italian Street Food (2018), 1227 Hermosa Avenue, North Shore Poke (2017), 1120 Hermosa Avenue, Street Tacos Gourmet Taco Stand (2012) currently Poke Bar, and 136 Pier Ave, Subway (2010). E. The limited kitchen and storage service area with limited equipment and minimal seating with a total of five seats within the customer dining area (not to exceed 25 seats) and one shared dining countertop is not expected to create parking demand equivalent to that created by a restaurant use. F. The number of employees on the largest shift will be two and there will be two shifts per day, which is less than the number of employees required by a typical restaurant. Section 5. The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per Guidelines, Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities, as the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: CERTIFICATION 87 I hereby certify the foregoing Planning Commission Resolution 20-X is a true and complete record of the action taken by the Planning Commission of the City of He rmosa Beach, California at its regular meeting of August 18, 2020. Peter Hoffman, Chairman Ken Robertson, Secretary August 18, 2020 Date 88 1 MIX IT UP CAFÉ MIX It UP LLC, DBA Mix It Up Café, a family-owned and operated, small business that plans to serve sandwiches, with an emphasis on the shawarma wrap. Shawarma is a dish in Middle Eastern cuisine consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie or spit. Originally made in Canada by Osmows containing lamb or mutton, today's shawarma may also be chicken, turkey, beef, veal, or can even be made vegetarian. Thin slices are shaved off the cooked surface as it continuously rotates. Shawarma is one of the world's most popular street foods, especially in Egypt and the countries of the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and beyond. With a business model of serving the community of residents, employees of local businesses, and visitors who are already coming to the area, with a “prepare and take-away” approach, with the only seating offered for waiting for the items to be prepared for take-away, this business will not require additional parking from what already exists in the area, as the patrons it is serving are already parked. In addition, multiple bike racks exist in the area and are expected to be used by the anticipated customers and employees, as this business will operate with the Stay in Hermosa, Stay Local, Stay Safe, mindset. The business plans to operate generally from “6am-10pm” (with extended weekend hours), meaning there will be breakfast items and coffee ready for residents and local business employees to walk to. Then, expects to serve a large lunch crowd of likely the same audience and adding in beachgoers, and continuing throughout the afternoon through the dinner-hour as locals are feeding their families, employees leaving work are picking-up food to take home for dinner, beach-goers are looking for food to eat after a day in the sand and surf to eat while watching the sunset. Mix It Up Café will welcome customers to enter, approach the counter, select their bread/wrap, select their protein, select their toppings, and select their sides and drinks. Once their sandwich is assembled, the customer will be handed a wrapped-to-go bag of their purchase. The business plan and marketing efforts will focus on residents, employees of local businesses, and existing tourists that are in the area and does not envision patrons coming to the area specifically seeking out this business. After, surveying multiple people in the city (residents, tourists, and business owners). It was discovered a great need for additional options and variety in choices was identified and the anecdotal evidence pointed to enthusiasm and excitement about the prospect of this business coming to the area very soon. The design of the shawarma bar will be modern and inviting and will add tremendous value to the area from many different perspectives. The focus is on the best quality ingredients and the highest quality of service. The business intends to serve fast sandwiches that the customers can enjoy while taking a walk throughout the downtown area or by sitting on the great open spaces offered by the city (beaches, parks, benches, etc.). Additionally, there will be an online option for placing orders in advance to be ready on arrival to take and enjoy. This will be the first Mix It Up Café establishment and will be the flagship location. Proposed hours are: 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM Monday through Wednesday; 6:00 AM – 2:00 AM Thursday through Saturday; and 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday. 89 90 WORK STATION FR.FR.SAOP FR.cashregistercashregisterdeep fryershawarmagrillmachineGrillRestroomforemployeesonlyFridgeFLOOR PLAN / ADA BATHROOM 91 Site and Interior Photos Subject Property Subject Tenant Space Frontage (114 Pier Avenue) 92 Rear of Subject Tenant Space (114 Pier Avenue) 93 94 95 96 97 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ORDINANCE NO. 04-1241 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 17.04 DEFINITIONS, AND CHAPTER 17.44 OFF-STREET PARKING, PERTAINING TO THE DEFINITION AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR SNACK SHOPS The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1.

The i Commissio'n, after further deliberation, did not modify their original recommenda- tion. The City Council again considered the original rec- ommendation of the Planning Commission at the meeting of May 11; 2004 and continued the hearing to May 25, 2004 and direct- i ed staff to provide survey information about the opera- tions of snack shops in the i city and in adjacent cities. Si£I!Q^.Theiubjeci ~ text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pur- suant to the general rule set forth in Section 15061(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as there is'no possibility that these modifications to the Zoning Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. SECTION 4 Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing and the final recommendation of the j i Planning, Commission after reconsideration the City j/ Council hereby ordains that' the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Title 17- Zoning, be amended as fol- lows: 1. Amend Section 17.04.050 Commercial Land Use Definition to read as follows: Snack shop or snackbar means an establishment with 25 or less seats that is distinguished from a restau- rant as it does not include waiter/waitress table ser- vice, except queuing, (inter- mittent delivery of pur- chased goods) and does not serve full meals or have a kitchen capable of serv- ing meals but instead serves snacks or non-alco- holic beverages for con- sumption on the premises or for take-out; specifically, items such as donuts and other baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, cookies, cof- fee, tea, and juices are con- sidered snacks." 2. Amend Section 17.44.030(0) to read as follows: The parking requirements for a snack bar and/or snack shop shall be the same as that for a restau- rant, unless it can be shown to the Planning Commission that the char- acteristics of the building; its location, size and other mit- igating factors such as limit- ed service area relative to gross floor area and limited seating capacity result in less parking demand than for- a restaurant use. In these cases the Planning Commission may consider the retail commercial requirement for parking, pursuant to Section- 17.44.210 Parking Plans." SECTION 12 Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date of its adoption, the City Clerk shall cause the summary to be published in the £agy Reader, a weekly newspa- per of general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Hermosa Beach SECTION 13 The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance, shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said city; shall make minutes of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed and adopted.

Supplemental Letter Responding to Commissioner Questions Staff received inquiries from a Planning Commissioner on Monday August 17, 2020, on the above referenced application and below is staff’s response to those questions. 1.When was the application received? The application was received July 20, 2020. 2.Is Amigos Taco's a designated snack shop or is it a restaurant? Although Amigos Tacos may appear to function more like a snack shop, the Amigos Tacos tenant space (118 Pier Avenue) has historically been occupied by restaurant tenants and therefore did not require a Parking Plan entitlement for a snack shop determination in order to operate. 3.How many approved snack shops are currently operating under the 2004 Snack Shop definition? There are 19 food establishments which were approved under the 2004 snack shop definition. There is one establishment approved prior to the 2004 snack shop definition. Please note that this list contains the names of the original snack shops at time of approval.

When we approved ITA Italian Street Food, what kind of kitchen equipment was proposed by applicant, and what kitchen equipment was ultimately approved? On July 17, 2018 the Planning Commission considered and approved a Parking Plan amendment request to delete the existing condition that prohibits use of an oven and stove at an existing snack shop with 758 square feet of interior space and 140 square feet of outdoor dining on a lot zoned C-2 for TA Italian Street Food, located at 25 Pier Avenue. The staff report provides that “While the HBMC does not prohibit the use of ovens in a snack shop, it does require that the kitchen not be capable of serving full meals. The kitchen will not be capable of serving full meals as equipment will include an electric fryer with a ventless hood and conveyorized oven.” The establishment implemented/utilized the approved types of cooking equipment. https://hermosabeach.legistar1.com/hermosabeach/meetings/2018/7/1173_A_Pl anning_Commission_18-07-17_Regular_Meeting_Agenda.pdf 5. From the list of snack shops included in your report, which have the following kitchen equipment?  4 burner stove  flat top grill combo  deep fryer  grill machine or spit grill machine  Type 2 Hood/back shelf ventilator Each snack shop operation is unique in its operation whether it is days and hours of operation, staff size, menu offerings, kitchen equipment, and number of tables and chairs. While one snack shop might provide 25 seats for a yogurt shop and another snack shop may provide 6 seats for a taco or sandwich shop, the Planning Commission must determine whether each individual request meets the City’s code parameters. The application before the Planning Commission at this 106 time requires the Commission to find that the application 1: meets the City’s definition of a “snack shop” and 2: meets the definition of “snack bar/ snack shop for parking purposes”. Based on staff’s analysis of the application materials and City code definitions, our recommendation is for the Planning Commission to approve the request due to consistency with City code definitions. Provided below is information which may serve as context for the Commission. 1. 25 Pier Avenue, ITA Italian Street Food (2018): electric fryer with a ventless hood and conveyorized oven; 2. 1227 Hermosa Avenue, North Shore Poke (2017): refrigerator, freezer, rice cooker, rice warmer, ice maker, and a refrigerated ‘grab and go” case. No heating elements such as cooktops or ovens were proposed due to components involving raw fish; 3. 1120 Hermosa Avenue, Street Tacos Gourmet Taco Stand (2012) currently Poke Bar: heating electric press for tortillas, commercial grade holding units to heat meats (no hood, fryers or open flame); and 4.136 Pier Ave, Subway (2010): microwaves and heating ovens (no cooktop or Type 1 range hood). 6. What previously approved snack shop has all of the same kitchen equipment? Provided below and attached are descriptions of the operations, kitchens and menus for Café Bonaparte and Gum Tree which have kitchens and menus with a variety of food items most similar to the request for Mix It Up Café. Although it has been common for snack shops to exclude cooking equipment such as an oven, other approved snack shops such as Gum Tree, Café Bonaparte and Subway have been approved with allowance of ovens and cooktops and have shown that allowance of an oven does not always mean the business is a restaurant. In this case, staff does not believe allowance of a stove or oven will facilitate a morphing of the business into a full service restaurant. Gum Tree The original tentative menu was more extensive than some snack bars and the business provides a cook top, microwaves and warming ovens. Up to 4 employees operate the snack shop, no more than 25 seats are provided (seating for 8 persons inside the building and outdoor seating for 12), customers order at a counter, no wait staff or service is provided and non-alcoholic beverages are offered. The tentative original menu is attached for reference and shows a variety of food offerings such as breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, salads, soups, sides and desserts. Café Bonaparte The snack shop occupies 1,048 sq. ft. (765 back of house operations and 283 sq. ft. of indoor seating area with 8 seats). The outdoor dining area provides 16 seats. Cooking equipment includes a stovetop and oven that require a hood. The floor plan and tentative original menu is attached for reference and shows a 107 variety of food offerings such as omelettes, sandwiches, scrambles, sides and desserts. Each snack shop operation is unique in its operation whether it is days and hours of operation, staff size, menu offerings, kitchen equipment and number of tables and chairs. While one snack shop might provide heating ovens and microwaves and another might provide refrigerators and no heating equipment, as shown in response to question 5 above, the Planning Commission must determine whether each individual request meets the City’s code parameters. The application before the Planning Commission at this time is to determine 1: does the application meet the City’s definition of a “snack shop” and 2: the definition of “snack bar/ snack shop for parking purposes”. Based on staff’s analysis of the application materials and City code definitions, our recommendation is for the Planning Commission to approve the request due to consistency with City code definitions. 7. What kitchen equipment is missing that would qualify this as a restaurant kitchen? The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code does not define a restaurant kitchen and define what equipment must be present to make a restaurant kitchen. Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.04 defines a “restaurant” use as a bona fide public eating establishment (A) whose primary function is the sale or offering for sale of prepared food during all hours it is open for business, and (B) that prepares food on-site in a kitchen capable of refrigerating and preparing food from its component ingredients. Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.04 defines a "Snack bar or snack shop" use as an establishment with twenty-five (25) or less seats that is distinguished from a restaurant as it does not include waiter/waitress table service, except queuing, (intermittent delivery of purchased goods) and does not serve full meals or have a kitchen capable of serving meals but instead serves snacks or nonalcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises or for take - out; specifically, items such as donuts and other baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, cookies, coffee, tea and juices are considered snacks. Although cooking equipment is an important consideration for the Commission, the scale, function and context of the food preparation space is also an equally important consideration. 8. Will the applicant's tableware be disposable or reusable? The tableware will be single-use, disposable, and every attempt will be made to source products that are environmentally-friendly. In addition, many of the menu items are designed not to need utensils to further reduce the amount of t rash generated. 9. Do we have a codified definition of what constitutes a "meal"? 108 No, the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code does not specifically define what constitutes a meal or a “full meal” which is contained in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.04 definition of a "Snack bar or snack shop" 10. Does the language in Section 17.04.030 which states "...specifically, items such as donuts and other baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, cookies, coffee, tea and juices are considered snacks" act to prohibit menu items described as "plates" on the applicant's submittal? No, Hermosa Beach Municipal Code section 17.04.050 references a definition and thus does not specifically prohibit “plates” but instead specifically states “an establishment with twenty-five (25) or less seats that is distinguished from a restaurant as it does not include waiter/waitress table service, except queuing, (intermittent delivery of purchased goods) and does not serve full meals or have a kitchen capable of serving meals but instead serves snacks or nonalcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises or for take-out; specifically, items such as donuts and other baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, cookies, coffee, tea and juices are considered snacks.” There are prior and current examples of snack shops in the City such as Gum Tree Café, Café Bonaparte, Italian Street Food, Street Tacos Gourmet Taco Stand, North Shore Poke and Poke Bar which serve plates. The City’s code definition of snack shop is written more broadly to allow for changes in how businesses operate and adjust over time while still ensuring that the intent of the definition is being maintained. Items such as donuts and other baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, cookies, coffee, tea and juices do not act as an exhaustive list of what can be served at a snack shop and are only examples. The intent of the definition is not to necessarily focus on the specific food item(s); but rather this idea that the retail parking ratio is appropriate for the use based on the premise that patrons will grab and go and may already be patronizing the City whereas a restaurant accommodates a larger number of customers who dine for extended periods which justifies requiring more parking than a snack shop. Unlike a restaurant, where the purpose is to sit down/be served, a snack shop is a more casual/dining environment with an emphasis on quick service of whatever food they may be serving.

Property Owner/ Applicant:1602 Loma, LLC by Kim Komick 3216 Manhattan Avenue Hermosa Beach CA, 90254 Recommended Action: To adopt by Minute Order the extension of the expiration date of the Conditional Use Permit 18-5, Precise Development Plan 18-8, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #82295 for a two-unit attached residential condominium project by one (1) year, to October 16, 2021. Background/ Analysis: An application was filed on July 5, 2018 by the property owner/applicant 1602 Loma, LLC by Kim Komick, for development of the property at 1602 Loma Drive, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 18-5, Precise Development Plan 18-8, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #82295 for a two- unit detached residential condominium project. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on October 16, 2018, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. On October 16, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the project as presented subject to approved plans and conditions of approval contained within PC Resolution 18-29 (attached). Condition 28 of the current approval states “Approval of these permits shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of approval by the Planning Commission, unless significant construction or improvements or the use authorized hereby has commenced. One or more extensions of time may City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™114 Staff Report REPORT 20-0532 be requested. No extension shall be considered unless requested, in writing to the Community Development Director including the reason therefore, at least 60 days prior to the expiration date. No additional notice of expiration will be provided.” The applicant outlined events which set them back and lead to the condominium entitlements ultimately expiring before they could begin construction. The subject property is located within the Coastal Zone, and thus, a Coastal Development Permit is required by the Coastal Commission in order to start demolition of the existing dwelling and start construction of the approved project. The review and eventual approval of by Coastal Commission extended over a year and approval plans were not received by the City of Hermosa Beach’s Community Development Department until February 2020. The 15-month review and approval process from the Coastal Commission in turn created unforeseen hardship to the project and an inability to initiate significant construction or improvements prior to the entitlements’ expiration date. Civil Sheets and Low Impact Development Plans were approved by the Public Works Department on April 17, 2019 and final building plans were approved on March 10, 2020. At this time a demolition permit has not been issued. For the reasons listed above, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve by Minute Order the request to extend the expiration date of October 16, 2020, by one (1) year to October 16, 2021 for a Conditional Use Permit 18-5, Precise Development Plan 18-8, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #82295 for a two-unit attached residential condominium project at 1602 Loma Drive.

Recommended Action: 1.Provide feedback on the proposed code amendment options. 2.Direct Staff to draft code amendments to be presented at the next Planning Commission Meeting. Background: On February 21, 2017, the Planning Commission approved a parking plan at 260 31st Street, allowing a proposed parking arrangement, which uses alternative methods, including a mechanical parking lift and compact sized guest stalls. Although the vehicle lift was initially approved in error by the City and approved post-construction by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission did not want to establish a precedent. The Commission, however, agreed to monitor the 260 31 st Street residence and use it as a case study for a potential future zoning code amendment. On February 13, 2020, the Planning Commission received a letter from a resident requesting the Commission initiate a zoning code amendment to allow vehicle lifts as a mechanism for satisfying parking requirements. In response, the Planning Commission requested staff agendize the request so they can discuss its advantages and disadvantages. On May 19, 2020, Staff presented different types of vehicle lifts, the relevant Hermosa Beach zoning code sections, and how other cities are addressing vehicle lifts in their city. Staff proposed specific questions to the Planning Commission for feedback on what the City should and should not regulate. After discussing the application of vehicle lifts in Hermosa Beach, the Planning Commission agreed that vehicle lifts should be permitted in all zones (residential, commercial, industrial) however requested that staff provide further research into which zones or specific lots vehicle lifts should be allowed in and with what level of ministerial or discretionary review. The Planning Commission also asked staff to clarify vehicle lifts allowed in setbacks and whether or not a third vehicle should block the vehicle lift. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™126 Staff Report REPORT 20-0529 The Planning Commission agreed to initiate a code amendment and approved P.C. Resolution 20-12 initiating an amendment to Title 17, entitled “Zoning” of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code allowing the use of mechanical vehicle lifts; and determined that the action was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On July 21, 2020, the Planning Commission voted to continue this item until the August 18, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. This report summarizes additional research requested by the Planning Commission and proposes code amendment options for the Planning Commission to consider and give feedback on. Analysis: Vehicle Lifts in other Cities In following up with the Planning Commission’s request for more research, Staff investigated additional cities, in addition to the eight Los Angeles-area cities that were previously surveyed, and their approach to regulating vehicle lifts. Other cities have taken different approaches to regulating vehicle lifts counting towards parking minimums. While some cities have chosen to codify language to explicitly allow vehicle lifts to count towards parking minimums, other cities have taken a more hands-off approach and allowed vehicle lifts by-right. For example, in the City of Newport Beach, the municipal code does not mention the use of vehicle lifts however, as long as the vehicle lift does not encroach into the minimum required garage space, lifts are allowed. Other cities have chosen to codify language allowing lifts in specific zones. In 2012, The City of Bellflower engaged in a pilot program that allowed vehicle lifts in their R-3 Multiple Residential Zone with the understanding that the City chose not to amend the code and that these structures would become legal nonconforming structures. Finding the program successful, in 2015, the City adopted a text amendment that codified the use of vehicle lifts, specifically in the R-3 Zone. Bellflower Municipal Code Subsection 17.32.130 (D) Vehicle Lifts and Similar Parking Systems regulates screening, setbacks, maintenance, and location of lifts. The City of El Segundo, previously discussed at the May 19, 2020 Planning Commission meeting, allows lifts in their R-1 (all lots) and R-2 Zones (on lots less than 45 feet in width). The City sets minimum parking space interior dimensions, minimum vertical height clearance, and types of lifts (4- post, key locking mechanism and automatic shutoff safety device only). In order to count toward parking minimums, a conditional use permit is required. Recommendations At the May 19, 2020 Planning Commission meeting, staff proposed questions to the Commission regarding what the City should regulate. Based on the issues brought up during that discussion, Staff researched best practices and presents the following options for consideration: 1)Issue:Zones Allowed. Planning Commission discussed and agreed that vehicle lifts should be City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™127 Staff Report REPORT 20-0529 allowed in all zones (residential, commercial, and industrial). However, some Commissioners were concerned that installing vehicle lifts may increase the density of residential zones (see density discussion in Issue #2 below). Staff has received feedback from residents struggling to meet parking requirements on smaller lots in the City. To address this concern, the Planning Commission could consider allowing vehicle lifts by-right in all residential zones, by-right on lots equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet, or eliminating the required third guest space for lots equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet. Staff recommends looking at vehicle lifts in commercial and industrial zones through the required Parking Plan. An alternative to allowing vehicle lifts by right in all zones would be to only allow the lift by-right on residential lots equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet. Attachment 3 maps lots in Hermosa Beach that are equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet. Out of 7,140 total lots in the City, only 534 (0.07%) are equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet. Option A: Vehicle lifts are allowed by-right in all residential zones and with a parking plan in commercial and industrial zones. or Option B: Vehicle lifts and similar parking systems are allowed by-right on residential lots equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet. For all other zones, vehicle lifts are allowed with approval of a Parking Plan. 2)Issue:Density vs Floor Area. The Planning Commission also brought up concerns about allowing vehicle lifts to increase density on a lot. The General Plan defines density as “the number of permanent residential dwelling units (d.u.) per acre of land,” and not by floor area. The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code does not distinguish between number of bedrooms and the number of parking spaces required. For example, an eight-bedroom single-family residence requires the same amount of parking (two standard parking spaces plus one guest parking space) as a one-bedroom single-family residence. While vehicle lifts allow for more vehicles to park in a smaller area, there are vertical clearance concerns with the mechanics of the lift that must be addressed. One way to ensure that a residence is not using the vehicle lift to increase their building floor area would be to set a vertical clearance minimum. However, Staff notes that this approach may be counterintuitive to helping facilitate development on smaller lots. In researching typical vertical clearance required for installing a vehicle lift, staff found that the manufactures only required 6 to 8 feet in vertical clearance (See Attachment 4). Staff recommends the Commission consider a City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™128 Staff Report REPORT 20-0529 minimum vertical clearance height of 11 to 14 feet to ensure enough space for the lift. This would result in a partial/half story on the level above the lift thereby reducing additional floor area above. For reference, the approved vehicle lift at 260 31st St maintains a vertical clearance of 12’6”. Another concern is that vehicle lifts will be used to increase density in existing nonconforming buildings. Staff is recommending that Commissioners consider not allowing vehicle lifts on lots with nonconforming uses/densities. Option A: A vehicle lift may only be used to store two vehicles vertically where a minimum vertical height clearance from the floor to the ceiling plate of the garage is a minimum of fourteen feet (14') clear of obstructions. or Option B: (LEAVE CURRENT STANDARD) No entranceway for vehicular access to any garage shall be less than eight feet wide. No such entranceway shall have less than six feet eight inches vertical clearance. And/or Option C: In existing legal nonconforming parking facilities where fewer parking spaces are provided than that required by the HBMC, the number of at-grade parking spaces shall not be reduced. 3)Issue:Location/Screening. The Planning Commission agreed that vehicle lifts should be located fully within a garage however had questions if a subterranean lift (a lift that would be built below grade in the driveway) should be allowed in a required setback. Staff recommends requiring that lifts be fully located within a garage and prohibiting lifts in required setbacks. Option A: Vehicle lifts must be located only within a fully enclosed garage. And Option B:Vehicle lifts shall not be located in any front-yard or street-facing side-yard setback. 4)Issue:Staging.The Planning Commission offered some concern over whether a third vehicle (in the driveway) can block the vehicle lift. Staff recommends no action and to consider the third vehicle behind the lift to be in tandem. Requiring that the lift not be blocked by a third vehicle could create more hardships on building on a small lot. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 5 powered by Legistar™129 Staff Report REPORT 20-0529 Option A: No action and consider the third vehicle behind the lift as tandem. Or Option B:Vehicle lifts shall remain accessible at all times and at any time shall not be blocked. Summary: Due to the unique lot configurations that exist in Hermosa Beach, finding unique solutions to providing parking on-site would be beneficial. Staff asks Planning Commission for feedback on proposed code sections and to direct Staff to come back with proposed code amendments at the next Planning Commission meeting.

Recommended Action: Initiate a Text Amendment that would allow mechanical vehicle lifts as a method of providing required parking and determine that this action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: On February 21, 2017, the Planning Commission approved a parking plan at 260 31st Street, allowing a proposed parking arrangement, which uses alternative methods, including a mechanical parking lift and compact sized guest stalls.

In response, the Planning Commission requested staff agendize the request so they can discuss its advantages and disadvantages. Analysis: Vehicle Lifts A vehicle lift is a mechanical system that hydraulically lifts vehicles to make space available to park other vehicles in a vertical tandem approach. There are several types of vehicle lifts that could be utilized; however, a text amendment would be needed to address potential concerns. A discussion of the pertinent vehicle lift types is as follows: Above grade.Vehicle lifts located within the garage, above grade, are the most common type in a residential setting (see figure 1). Above grade vehicle lifts raise one car allowing one car to be parked on top another parked car. There are several types of above grade vehicle lifts including single-post (see figure 2), two-post (see figure 3), and four-post systems (see figure 4).

This type of vehicle lift less common, as it typically requires excavation to accommodate the below grade storage pit. Staff notes that subterranean vehicle lifts may not be suitable in certain parts of Hermosa Beach given the topography and ground water levels. In addition the structural and mechanical components involved would potentially encroach into required yards. Existing Municipal Code Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Title 17 (Zoning Code) does not specifically prohibit the use of vehicle lifts in residential uses; however, vehicle lifts do not count toward meeting the parking requirements. A discussion of the pertinent zoning code sections is as follows: ·HBMC Section 17.44.020 <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> (Off-street parking-residential uses), a one-family dwelling requires two off-street parking spaces, plus one off-street guest parking space. ·HBMC Section 17.44.100 <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> (Size of spaces) provides minimum parking dimensions and locational requirements, including allowing tandem parking. Notwithstanding this, the HBMC defines tandem parking as “one automobile parked after or behind another in a lengthwise fashion,” which effectively prevents vehicle lift as being utilized as tandem parking even though the essentially acts as such. ·HBMC Section 17.44.100(B)(1) <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> states, “In residential zones, guest parking spaces located in tandem behind a required parking space shall have a minimum length of seventeen (17) feet.” The concern is that vehicle lifts in the driveway would be considered an encroachment in the required front yard. ·HBMC Section 17.44.110(B) <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> states, “…in no case may one guest space be located behind another guest space.” Under this requirement, vehicle lift could not be considered for guest parking. The concern is that multiple cars could create an additional staging delay. This becomes an issue in Hermosa Beach due to the narrow alleys and roads. Moving cars in and out of parking spaces can result in a temporary blocking of the roads. The current definition of tandem considers the staging time of moving one car out of the way for another. If one guest space is to block two standard spaces in a vehicle lift, there are three cars stacked behind one another. This could cause additional delays with moving around three vehicles to get the top vehicle out. ·HBMC Subsection 17.44.090(D), <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> states “residential parking is allowed within the front (20) feet only when paved and leading to a garage.” Subterranean vehicle lifts in the driveway would be considered an encroachment into the front yard and may not qualify under this provision. ·HBMC Subsection 17.44.120(D) <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 7/14/2020Page 5 of 10 powered by Legistar™135 File #:REPORT 20-0239,Version:1 states, “No driveway providing access to any off-street parking space or garage shall have a slope greater than twenty (20) percent; provided, that any ramp slope in excess of twelve and one-half (12-1/2) percent includes transitions on each side with a minimum length of eight (8) feet and a maximum slope of one- half (1/2) the maximum ramp slope, in accordance with the driveway grade standards set forth below [graphic not shown here]; further, any area used for guest parking shall have a maximum slope of twelve and one-half (12-1/2) percent.” The text amendment should consider if a maximum driveway slope should be implemented if subterranean lifts are allowed. ·HBMC Section 17.44.150 <https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> states, “ Underground parking facilities shall conform to all the provisions of this chapter; provided however, that underground parking facilities may be located in the side, front and rear yards which are completely below existing ground level. However, 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, provided both side yards are provided with cement stops in order not to obstruct any pedestrian way. No portion of such facility shall have less than seven feet inside vertical clearance, except doorways may be six feet eight inches.” Survey of other cities Eight Los Angeles-area cities were surveyed to current planning practices in deployment of mechanical vehicle lifts as a method of providing required parking. Surveys were conducted of Beverly Hills, El Segundo, Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Torrance, West Hollywood. A summary table and notable excerpts from the relevant codes are attached as Attachments 1 and 2 and summarized below. The City of Los Angeles allows the stacking of two or more vehicles in all zones and requires the equipment meet applicable mechanical and electrical code requirements. The City of West Hollywood allows vehicle lifts to count towards parking minimums in all zones, with approval of a parking plan. West Hollywood is unique in that the City also allows for vehicle lifts in non-residential zones, with approval of a parking plan and a designated valet attendant. Most cities to do specifically address the issue of a third car blocking the lift, West Hollywood specifies “no additional vehicle(s) shall park so as to limit access to the lift” for both residential and non-residential uses. The City of El Segundo only allows lifts in certain residential zones, to provide parking in excess of the minimum number of required parking spaces. In order to count toward parking minimums, a conditional use permit is required. The City goes further to limit vehicle lift uses to lots less than 45 ft in width. Case Study As previously noted in this report, the Planning Commission approved a vehicle lift at 260 31 st Street. The lift was installed in 2017 and is currently be used by the homeowner. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 7/14/2020Page 6 of 10 powered by Legistar™136 File #:REPORT 20-0239,Version:1 Figure 6: Rendering of the design for 260 31st St. The vehicle lift is located within the garage and is contained to a 20’ by 10’-6” parking stall dimension. The roll up garage door provides additional overhead space for the vehicle lift. The type of vehicle lift (BendPack Model: PL ‐ 7000XR)is a freestanding dual column parking lift with a wide deck platform. The dimension of the lift is 10’-9” in overall height and 15’ in length. There is an overhead power with a 220-voltage motor that controls the 30-second hydraulic lift operation. The model also includes an automatic safety lock that prevents unwanted accidents. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 7/14/2020Page 7 of 10 powered by Legistar™137 File #:REPORT 20-0239,Version:1 Figure 7: Vehicle lift as-built for 260 31st St. Under the Resolution 17-5 approved for 260 31st St, the Planning Commission approved Parking Plan 17-2 subject to a covenant assuring that a mechanical parking lift will be installed and maintained and fully operable for the life of the building, and that the 30-foot wide by 9-foot deep parking apron adjacent to the alley accommodate two angled, compact-sized guest stalls. The Planning Commission found that the practical effect of stacked tandem parking is no different City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 7/14/2020Page 8 of 10 powered by Legistar™138 File #:REPORT 20-0239,Version:1 than the effect of lengthwise tandem parking. In either situation, the users of the parking spaces have to manage the sequencing of their trips with their cars to avoid shuffling. If shuffling the cars is needed in either case it causes delays and possible temporary obstruction of the alley. Based on the specifications for the lift in question, there would be a 30-second delay for the lift to operate which may cause only a slightly longer delay than shuffling cars parked lengthwise. Since the lift was installed in 2017, the City has not received any complaints, including noise complaints, regarding its operation. Further Issues to Consider: Should the Planning Commission determine to initiate a code amendment, staff would conduct a further analysis of current planning practices, potential issues with allowing vehicle lifts, and draft code language. Staff would then return in a duly noticed public hearing for the Planning Commission to consider potential changes to the zoning code. Some additional items that the Planning Commission should consider and provide staff direction on include: 1.What type of vehicle lifts should be allowed? Should the City allow above grade, subterranean, or both? 2.Should a subterranean lift and associated structural/mechanical equipment be allowed in a required yard consistent with allowances for underground parking facilities? 3.Should lifts be fully enclosed within a garage? 4.Whether or not a third vehicle (in the driveway) can block the lift? 5.Whether or not a lift should be allowed if the entry to the garage is off an alley to prevent multiple car staging? 6.Should there be a maximum lot size or width for allowing a lift to satisfy parking requirements? 7.What zoning districts should vehicle lifts be allowed in? 8.Should lifts be allowed in conjunction with a single-family residential project only or for all residential projects regardless of zone? Environmental Determination: Initiation of the code amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3), the common sense exemption that states CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that initiating the code amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment. This action is further exempt from CEQA pursuant to Guideline Section 15262, feasibility or planning studies. This action will authorize City staff to study and analyze a code amendment, which will be brought back to the Planning Commission for a possible future action. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 7/14/2020Page 9 of 10 powered by Legistar™139 File #:REPORT 20-0239,Version:1 General Plan Consistency: This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below: PLAN Hermosa encourages “a parking system that meets the parking needs and demand of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner” (Mobility, Goal 4). While vehicle lifts are not specifically mentioned in this Goal, that plan does say that innovative parking supply solutions will be used to meet the parking demand in the City. The Pacific Coast Highway Corridor’s is the only section of the Plan that specifically mentions vehicle lifts as means for easing parking demand in the City. Policy 6.8 (Balance pedestrian and vehicular circulation) requires new development along corridors to “encourage the use of systems to increase parking lot efficiency, such as mechanical lift systems or occupancy sensors.” Parking guidelines in residential portions do not have such requirements. However, the General Plan encourages off-street residential parking to be oriented toward the alley to reduce curb cuts and disruptions to the pedestrian realm. Limited curb cuts are an effective way to ensure on-street parking is available. Summary: Due to the unique lot configurations that exist in Hermosa Beach, finding unique solutions to providing parking on-site would be beneficial. Staff recommends the Commission initiate a zoning code text amendment to allow vehicle lifts to count toward parking minimums.

REPORT 20-0445 Zoning Code Text Amendment to allow the use of mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required parking. eComment: I support the zoning amendment. Parking has long been an issue for growth. Long term we will not need as much parking as technology encourages car sharing etc. However, now and for the next 5-10 years there will continue to be a parking issues. Its not a long enough time period that the city should or is willing to create additional parking structures. Parking lifts in the commercial areas are a great short-medium term response to Hermosa's parking issues. I would like that zoning amendment to extend to the commercial zones as well as a much needed solution to employee parking. Currently many buildings parking is taken up by employee use which leaves visitors/customers with either lot parking (insufficient availability) or street parking (insufficient availability). Since employees are at the business all day generally, if they can park in a lift, then customers could more utilize the space behind the buildings. 164 Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2020 12:55 PM Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting Brian Croft submitted a new eComment.

The tecnhology is available to do so with minimal to no impact on neighbors, other than the improvement of proximate public parking that will benefit all within the vicinity.

We are constantly struggling to find parking and the use of lifts would really help alleviate this problem. There are so many resident cars on the streets now (especially with everyone working from home), it has become more and more difficult and often very frustrating to find parking. This seems like an easy and smart fix to what has become a challenging problem. 166 Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2020 7:45 PM Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting Mike Zugay submitted a new eComment.

I recently saw this item on the docket for discussion and quite frankly I am perplexed as to why there is even a debate around these mechanical lifts. These lift systems are a perfect solution to one of the most annoying issues we face in the South Bay, PARKING. Lack of adequate parking is a drag on accessing our beaches and more importantly is a drag on the economy for our local businesses. These lifts are safe, quiet and help residents do their part to bring another form of technology to help solve a very real problem. I would encourage you to keep an open mind and do the right thing. This really shouldn't be controversial. 167 Sent: Monday, July 20, 2020 7:59 AM Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting Aileen Martin submitted a new eComment.

REPORT 20-0445 Zoning Code Text Amendment to allow the use of mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required parking. eComment: A mechanical vehicle lift, at the very least, should be an available option to consider when building in Hermosa. Of course, it actually needs to be used, maintained and regulated, plus not be loud or noisy when in use, but to have alternatives for parking in the beach communities is important at this point. If it allows for less subterranean building, even better! 169 Sent: Monday, July 20, 2020 1:51 PM Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting Kerry Wallis submitted a new eComment.

There are a number of cities, including The City of Los Angeles and The City of Manhattan Beach that allow car stackers as a solution to off-street parking. This will no doubt have a positive impact on the community and the environment, giving the homeowner more living space. We at 260 31st Street are living proof of this, it's a win-win situation! 171 Sent: Monday, July 20, 2020 6:39 PM Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting New eComment for Planning Commission Virtual Meeting Kort Schnabel submitted a new eComment. Meeting: Planning Commission Virtual Meeting Item: b. REPORT 20-0445 Zoning Code Text Amendment to allow the use of mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required parking. eComment: Vehicle lifts are a great way to keep more cars in private garages and off the public streets. Lifts would allow residents to fit two cars inside their garage while also maintaining storage space for all the bikes/surfboards/etc that typically prevent two cars from fitting into a traditional garage. How many garages around town are filled with storage while residents park on public streets? We cannot prevent people from filling their garages with storage, but we can encourage investment in modern technology to help mitigate the issue. Everything in the proposed text amendment looks smart, with the exception of requiring ceiling heights of up to 14'. Having investigated multiple vehicle lift technologies, ceiling heights of 11.5-12' are the manufacturer approved requirements to fit a large SUV and a standard sized sedan. Hermosa Beach also requires a third parking spot at every home, which could fit another SUV. Unless the City's priority is to ensure every homeowner can park 3 large gas guzzling SUVs in their homes, mandating anything higher than a 12’ ceiling height is working against the incentive to install a lift and will result in no car lifts being installed. The trade-offs on floor plan configuration are too great, particularly in zones with 25' max building heights. We should be moving toward smaller footprints for cars in general when planning for the future. 172 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 20-0527 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 18, 2020 Rotation of Planning Commission Chair and Vice Chair Pursuant to Commission direction, the Chair and Vice Chair of the Planning Commission rotate every nine months.
