Hermosa Ave does not need a bike lane as there is a perfectly good bike path on the beach. Please remember when streets have dividers and are limited to one lane, it not only slows up traffic, it slows the response time of our first responders. The truck can not hop over the divider and use the opposite lane as needed. I guess it is OK unless it is your house that is on fire or you need a paramedic. Thank you for your time.

Recommended Action: 1.Adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council adopt a text amendment to HBMC Chapter 17.44 Off-street parking to allow the use of mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required parking, adopt proposed definition of “mechanical vehicle lift,” and determination that the project 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. 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 text amendment to allow vehicle lifts as a mechanism for satisfying parking requirements. In response, the Planning Commission requested staff place the item on a future agenda 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 allowed in all zones (residential, commercial, manufacturing, etc.). However, the Planning Commission requested that staff provide further research into which zones or specific lots vehicle lifts should be allowed to satisfy parking requirements in and with what level of City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™21 Staff Report REPORT 20-0599 ministerial or discretionary review. The Planning Commission also asked staff to clarify vehicle lifts allowed in setbacks and whether or not a third vehicle could block the vehicle lift. The Planning Commission agreed to initiate a text amendment and approved P.C. Resolution 20-12 initiating a text 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 August 18, 2020 Staff presented additional research for Commission feedback. At this meeting the Planning Commission directed staff to draft a text amendment and present the item at the next meeting. This report summarizes the proposed text amendment for the Planning Commission to consider and recommend to the City Council. Analysis: The following analysis summarizes the proposed text amendments: Add New Definition to HBMC Section 17.44.010. The Zoning Code does not currently include definition for “Mechanical vehicle lift.” The proposed definition is consistent with the additional proposed text amendments. “Mechanical vehicle lift” means a mechanical system that lifts or descends one vehicle to make space available to park a second vehicle in a vertical tandem fashion. Modify HBMC Section 17.44.210. The Zoning Code does not include mechanical vehicle lifts as a factor to be considered in a Parking Plan. Add New HBMC Sub-Section 17.44.240 (Mechanical vehicle lift).The Zoning Code does not set standards for mechanical vehicle lifts. The proposed text amendment is provided below: 17.44.240 Mechanical vehicle lifts A.Building Permit Required 1.A building permit is required for the installation of a mechanical vehicle lift system. 2.Mechanical vehicle lifts may be permitted to meet off-street parking spaces requirements in HBMC Section 17.44.020 (Off-street parking-Residential uses)on residential lots equal to or smaller than 2,100 square feet. 3.On residential lots greater than 2,100 square feet,mechanical vehicle lifts are permitted where the parking space(s)provided by the mechanical vehicle lift(s)is/are in excess of the minimum number of required parking spaces and are subject to requirements of this Section. B.Parking Plan Required.On residential lots greater than 2,100 square feet and in all other zones,mechanical vehicle lifts are allowed to meet the off-street parking space requirements established in HBMC Sections 17.44.020 and 17.44.030 with approval of a Parking Plan,in compliance with HBMC Section 17.44.210 (Parking City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™22 Staff Report REPORT 20-0599 Plan). C.Screening. Mechanical vehicle lifts shall be located only within a fully enclosed garage. D.Vertical Clearance.A vehicle lift may only be used to store two (2)vehicles vertically where a minimum vertical height clearance from the garage floor to the garage ceiling plate or,in the case of a lift installed below the garage floor,from the below grade floor to the garage ceiling,is a minimum of twelve (12)feet clear of obstructions. E.Safety 1.All equipment shall be listed and rated by a testing agency recognized by California (i.e. UL). 2.A mechanical vehicle lift shall be permitted only if it is operated with an automatic shutoff safety device and is installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications. 3.A mechanical vehicle lift shall be equipped with a key locking mechanism. 4.Mechanical vehicle lifts shall provide a manual override to access or remove vehicles from the vehicle lift in the event of a power outage. F.Miscellaneous 1.Mechanical vehicle lifts shall not be utilized to meet required guest parking.Guest parking shall remain open and accessible at all times. 2.In buildings that are nonconforming to parking,where fewer parking spaces are provided than required by HBMC Sections 17.44.020 and 17.44.030,the number of at-grade parking spaces shall not be reduced. 3.Standards in HBMC Chapter 17.44 which are not specifically stated in and do not contradict this Section still apply. Environmental Determination: Modifications to the Zoning Code are considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); however, the activity of recommending the text amendment to City Council is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed text amendment serves to establish general standards for mechanical vehicle lifts. Individual projects that are subject to the zoning code would still require individual review for conformance with CEQA. Therefore, the proposed amendment is exempt from CEQA. 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 City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™23 Staff Report REPORT 20-0599 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 to 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. The use of mechanical vehicle lifts may result in more innovate building and site designs where the vertical stacking of vehicles may lend to more narrow driveway approaches and less hardscape on-site. This would result in more permeable surface area and sites providing more open space. Summary: Due to the unique lot configurations and conditions that exist in Hermosa Beach, such as small lot sizes, half lot conditions, lots with significant slopes, vehicle access from narrow alleyways and other site constraints, finding unique solutions to providing parking on-site would be beneficial. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council adopt a text amendment to HBMC Chapter 17.44 Off-street parking to allow the use of mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required parking, adopt proposed definition of “mechanical vehicle lift,” and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RESOLUTION 20-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A TEXT AMENDMENT TO TITLE 17, ENTITLED “ZONING” OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW THE USE OF MECHANICAL VEHICLE LIFTS AS A METHOD TO PROVIDE REQUIRED PARKING, AND ADOPT THE PROPOSED DEFINITION OF “MECHANICAL VEHICLE LIFT”; AND DETERMINING THAT THE ACTION IS 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. Although the Zoning Code does not prohibit the use of mechanical lifts, they cannot be utilized to meet minimum parking requirements. The City has received requests from property owners to allow vehicle lifts to be counted towards meeting minimum parking requirements. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed text amendment amending various sections of Title 17 entitled “Zoning” of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) to allow the use of mechanical vehicle lifts (See Exhibit B). SECTION 3. Applicable law requires the Planning Commission to notice and hold a public hearing on the amendment and, following such hearing, to render a decision in the form of a written recommendation to City Council pursuant to HBMC Section 17.66.100. SECTION 4. The Planning Commission held a meeting on May 19, 2020 to consider the use of mechanical vehicle lifts to count towards parking minimums and approved P.C. Resolution 20-12 initiating the text amendment process. The Planning Commission held a meeting on August 18, 2020 to further discuss the text amendment options and directed staff to draft the proposed text amendment to be presented at the September 15, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting. SECTION 5. The Planning Commission held a public hearing concerning the amendment on September 15, 2020. Notice was published and provided as required by law. SECTION 6. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the general objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan (PLAN Hermosa). SECTION 7. Modifications to the Zoning Code are considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); however, the activity of recommending the text amendment to City Council is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect 38 2 on the environment. The proposed text amendment serves to establish general standards for mechanical vehicle lifts. Individual projects that are subject to the zoning code would still require individual review for conformance with CEQA. Therefore, the proposed amendment is exempt from CEQA. SECTION 8. The Planning Commission hereby recommends the City Council approve and adopt the proposed text amendment. VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: CERTIFICATION I hereby certify the foregoing Resolution P.C. 20-XX is a true and complete record of the action taken by the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, at their adjourned regular meeting of September 15, 2020. ___________________________ ____________________________ Rob Saemann, Chair Ken Robertson, Secretary September 15, 2020 Date Exhibits A.

Applicant/Owner:Nick Lind 2737 Amalfi Newport Beach, CA 92660 Recommended Action: Staff recommends the Planning Commission: 1.Adopt the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82983 for a two-unit detached condominium project at 622 1st Place, subject to conditions, and determine the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) GENERAL PLAN:Medium Residential (MD) ZONING:Two-Family Residential (R-2) LOT SIZE:4,586 square feet PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE:Unit 1: 2,945.30 square feet Unit 2: 2,886.50 square feet PARKING REQUIRED:4 Standard spaces/1 Guest space PARKING PROVIDED: 4 Standard spaces/1 Guest space ON STREET PARKING LOST/GAINED: 0 Lost/0 Gained ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Categorically Exempt, CEQA Section 15303(b) (Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) The subject site is located on the south side of 1st Place in between Ardmore Avenue to the west and Pacific Coast Highway to the east. The 4,586 square foot lot contains a single-family residence. Parking for the existing building is accessed via an unpaved driveway from 1st Place on the west-end of the lot. There are currently two nonconforming unenclosed tandem parking spaces located at the rear of the lot from the driveway. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing building and City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™53 Staff Report REPORT 20-0598 construct two detached residential condominium units on the subject site. The applicant proposes to provide parking access from 1st Place through a shared driveway. There is an existing 10-foot wide curb cut which will be improved and brought up to current code requirements but will remain in the same general location on the west side of the lot and as a result there is no loss or gain of on-street parking spaces on 1st Place. Both units (1 and 2) propose a three floor dwelling unit that will contain a two-car garage, and entry hall, and a guest bedroom and bathroom on the first floor; three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry on the second floor; a kitchen, dining room, powder room, a family room, and two decks on the third floor; and access to the roof deck above the third floor. The architectural styles of both units are contemporary with exterior treatments of stone, steel siding, and smooth stucco. Analysis: A proposal to construct a condominium project requires findings for consideration of a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 and as set forth in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Sections 16.08.060, 17.40.020, and 17.58.030. CEQA Compliance: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15303(b), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, because the proposal pertains to construction of limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of multi-family residential structures in an urbanized area, totaling no more than six dwelling units. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time, or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Basic Zoning Standards: The project complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including the R-2 zone and design standards for condominiums in HBMC Section 17.22.

Access and Parking: Access to the on-site parking is provided through a shared ten foot wide driveway approach that is located on the east side of the lot. The applicant proposes to maintain the driveway location, located along the west side of the property. The driveway approach will be improved and brought into compliance with current code requirements. The driveway extends to the rear Unit 2 garage and shared guest parking space. The driveway slope profiles indicate the driveway slope will be 16% at the steepest point; within the maximum allowed slope of 20% pursuant to HBMC Subsection 17.44.120(D). The proposal intends to improve and update the existing ten foot wide curb cut so there will be no loss or gain of on-street parking spaces on 1st Place. Landscape and Green Measures: All plants must be water conserving as required by the Hermosa Beach Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan (HBMC Section 8.56) and Water Efficient Landscaping (HBMC Section 8.60). The landscape plan includes a mixture of drought tolerant plants including snake plant, gold dust plant, foxtail agave, Berkley sedge, blue fescue. In addition, the landscape plan will include one 24-inch box size Windmill Palm tree, which will be planted within the front yard planter. The project is City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™55 Staff Report REPORT 20-0598 conditioned to ensure that all planting materials and trees comply with HBMC Section 8.60, Water Efficient Landscaping. The landscape plan shows that catch basins with sump pumps will be provided on-site and an automatic irrigation system with a moisture sensor is proposed for the landscaped areas. The project must comply with Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control Regulations. Additionally, 65% of demolition debris must be recycled, and cement used in foundation mix design must be reduced by not less than 20%, among other requirements. Hermosa Beach’s Electrical Code (Section 15.32) requires installation of conduit sized to accommodate solar energy and solar thermal systems. Compatibility with surrounding area: The subject site is zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood consisting of both attached and detached two-unit condominiums on a lot with shared driveways leading to parking courtyards which provide vehicle access to the units. Subdivision Map: The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82983. A vesting tentative parcel map grants vested rights to proceed with a project in accordance with the ordinances, polices and standards in effect at the time the application for approval of the vesting tentative map is completed. The proposed two-unit condominium is on an existing 4,575 square foot lot, with a 39-foot lot width. The R-2 zone requires a minimum lot size of 1,750 square feet per unit; thus allowing a maximum of two dwelling units on the 4,575 square foot lot. The lot is similar to surrounding lot sizes and lot widths within the same zone, and the General Plan Land Use designation for lots in the vicinity, and thus complies with Hermosa Beach ordinances regarding subdivision of lots. The project is conditioned upon payment of Park and Recreation Area Dedication fees for each unit as there is inadequate area on-site for land dedication per City required Parks and Recreation Area fees. The proposed two-unit condominium can connect to the existing utilities that service the residential uses in the immediate neighborhood. In addition, the existing utilities have the capacity to serve the proposed development. The submitted plans were preliminarily reviewed by the Fire Department, Public Works Department, and Building & Safety Division, and no major concerns were identified. The proposed subdivision and improvements are compliant with criteria for approval of a subdivision map and are not likely to cause serious public health problems within the proposed subdivision. The design of the proposed subdivision is compatible with the immediate residential environment. General Plan Consistency: The proposed two-unit condominium is located within the Medium Density Residential (MD) General City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™56 Staff Report REPORT 20-0598 Plan Land Use designation area; the purpose of this designation is to provide for the enhancement and reinvestment in mixed scale residential neighborhoods. The intent of this designation is to provide a transition between higher density residential uses and single-family neighborhoods. This designation provides a range of residential building formats including condominiums, townhouses, duplex/triplex, and apartment buildings. The appropriate density range is between 13.1 to 25.0 dwelling units per acre. The subject site is also located within the Greenbelt Neighborhood character area as indicated in the City’s General Plan, which accommodates a range of small scale residential development types and provides nearby access to commercial services along Pacific Coast Highway. The intent is to maintain the building scale and form of this neighborhood, while enhancing access to local neighborhood serving commercial uses. Building Design and Orientation suggest designing two unit complexes to resemble single-family homes with articulation and separate entrances. Setbacks are generally smaller in this area than the predominantly single-family neighborhoods. The proposed project is consistent with the MD Land Use designation in that it will contribute to the residential neighborhood as a multi-family (two-unit on a single lot) development and meets the intent of the Greenbelt Neighborhood character area with a density of 19 dwelling units per acre and through providing garages and parking behind the buildings. The design of the detached two-unit development is consistent with the Greenbelt Neighborhood character area in that the driveway extends behind the buildings, the front building provides a 10-foot front yard setback to match the prevailing setback on this street, and both units have been designed with building articulation elements such as staggered building facades, vertical and horizontal architectural bands and columns and large balconies and roof decks with a mixture of architectural finishes. The design also incorporates a front facing entry for Unit 1, which resembles single-family homes as indicated in the Greenbelt desired form and character. Land Use Goal 2 states “While each neighborhood in Hermosa Beach is distinct, they each provide a variety of housing types, densities, designs and mix of uses and services that collectively reflect the small beach town character. The diversity of building types responds to the diversity of the city’s population and the desire to create interesting and varied neighborhoods.” Specifically, Land Use Goal 2 Policy 2.1 states “Neighborhoods are complete and well-structured by encouraging, where appropriate, the following characteristics including having homes with entries and windows facing the street. The proposed design features implement the following PLAN Hermosa goals and many of its policies in the Land Use policies 1.6 Scale and Context., 2.1 Complete Neighborhoods, 2.3 Balanced Neighborhoods, 2.6 Diversity of building types and styles, 2.7 Context sensitive design, 5.1 Scale and Massing, 5.6 Eclectic and diverse architecture, and 6.9 Shared driveways.

Resolution 20-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 82983 FOR A TWO-UNIT DETACHED CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 622 1ST PLACE, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS WALTER RANSOM COS VENABLE PLACE LOT 129 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 15, 2020 by the property owner/applicant Nick Lind, for development of property located at 622 1st Place, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 20-2, Precise Development Plan 20-5, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82983 for a proposed two-unit detached residential condominium. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on September 15, 2020, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. The Planning Commission hereby finds, determines, and declares the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(b), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures because the proposal pertains to construction of limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of multi-family residential structures in an urbanized area, totaling no more than six dwelling units. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time, or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the California Government Code Section 66474 and Section 16.08.060 of the Municipal Code. 1. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan in that it does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals with regard to the Medium Density (MD) Residential designation that allows for multiple dwellings. The proposal meets the Medium Density designation because it will provide two-units on a 4,586 square foot lot. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with applicable development standards set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) for the R-2 zone. 59 2 2. The site is physically suitable for a two-unit detached residential condominium project. The two-unit detached residential condominium project contains a total of five on-site parking spaces with four spaces located within garages and one shared guest parking space. This development complies with all development standards and does not require approval of a deviation. 3. The subdivision and improvements provide for adequate drainage, sanitation and potable water, underground utilities, parking and construction requirements, and therefore are not likely to cause public health problems. The project as conditioned will provide permeable surfacing and storm water retention facilities to the maximum extent feasible per HBMC Section 8.44.095 and any additional non-percolated or retained storm water will be conveyed to an onsite subsurface infiltration system as required by HBMC Section 8.44.095 subject to maintenance agreements. 4. The proposed subdivision will front on a public street, will provide vehicular access from 1st Place and does not exhibit dedicated public easements. Therefore, the subdivision and improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. 5. Design of the proposed subdivision as conditioned is generally compatible and consistent with applicable elements of the City’s General Plan, and with the prevailing approximately 4,586 square foot lot sizes, and prevailing approximately 40-foot lot frontages in the immediate environment. In addition, design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with purposes of the General Plan land use designation, density, applicable HBMC development standards, parking, access, and services are provided. 6. The project, as conditioned, will conform to all zoning requirements including, but not limited to setbacks, lot coverage, open space, building height, and parking. The project also conforms to all condominium standards including, but not limited to private storage space, minimum unit sizes, architecture and building layout, landscaping, and will be compatible with neighboring properties that are developed with similar multi-story multi-family residences. 7. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303(b) since the project is construction of a limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. 8. The proposed subdivision will be consistent with the prevailing lot patterns and is not likely to reduce property values in the surrounding neighborhood area because the project is similar to surrounding development, consists only of the division of airspace at less than the maximum density allowed, and conditions have been placed on the project to ensure compatibility. Section 5. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for Conditional Use 60 3 Permit and Precise Development Plan pursuant to Sections 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code. 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects; The subject site is zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west of the subject site. The subject site is large enough to accommodate two units. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need; The proposed two-unit condominium will provide vehicular access through a shared driveway located on the west side of the subject site from 1st Place leading to two two-car garages, which provides a total of four off-street enclosed parking spaces on-site. In addition, one shared on-site guest parking space will be provided, adjacent to the Unit 2 garage. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility; The subject site is zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood consisting of both attached and detached two-unit condominiums on a lot with shared driveways leading to parking courtyards which provide vehicle access to the units. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area; The proposed two-unit condominium will retain similar traffic volume generated from the project site because the proposal will maintain the same number of units. 1st Place is designated in the General Plan as a local street, and has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development and surrounding neighborhood. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; The proposed two-unit condominium will not have signs, thus will be compatible with the residential character of the area. Nevertheless, it is important to consider the architectural style (décor) as part of this approval. The applicant is proposing a contemporary style, which can be found on other properties in the neighborhood. Accordingly, the décor of the building will be compatible with the existing residences in the area. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences, schools, churches, hospitals and playgrounds; The proposed design of the two-unit condominium is consistent with same aspects of the desired building form and character of the Greenbelt character area with articulation of the front building façade (front elevation from 1st Place). Unit 1 will have a main entryway to the 61 4 building oriented towards 1st Place. Unit 2 will have a main entryway accessed from the east side yard. The two-unit condominium is detached and provides third level decks oriented towards the northwest (Unit 1) and towards the north (Unit 2). There is a prevailing front yard setback on the south side of 1st Place between Ardmore Avenue and Tennyson Place. A survey of front yard setbacks shows existing front yard setbacks ranging from 8’9” and 20” measured from the front property line. Therefore, the proposed 10’4 ½” front yard setback is appropriate and consistent with surrounding development. Vehicular access is provided from a shared driveway located on the west side of the subject site from 1st Place leading to two two-car garages and to one shared guest parking space, with a total of five off-street parking spaces on the subject site. The 4-foot wide sidewalk on 1st Place will be maintained for pedestrian access. There subject site is located 0.2 miles from the Greenbelt and 0.3 miles from South Park which are the nearest sensitive uses and the building and driveway orientation are consistent with the General Plan and Municipal Code standards and therefore impacts to nearby sensitive uses are not anticipated with the project. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; The proposed two-unit detached condominium is not anticipated to create adverse impacts because the proposed use of the property is residential, which is consistent with the use of the surrounding residential neighborhood. Construction of the two-unit condominium will cause temporary noise, odor, dust, and vibration, but they will be ceased when the construction has been completed. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; There is sufficient capacity to serve the proposed two-unit condominium. The proposed residential use will have similar demand on the current infrastructure and services because the proposal will maintain the same number of units from the existing subject site. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms; The proposed two-unit condominium does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed residential use and building design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and General Plan. Nevertheless, multiple conditions of approval have been incorporated into this action. With these conditions, any potential impact will be mitigated. 10. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the planning commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. None noted. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the subject Conditional Use Permit 20-2, Precise Development Plan 20-05, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82983 for a two-unit detached condominium subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 62 5 1.

The restaurant has been unoccupied since 2018. Analysis: The applicant requests an amendment of the CUP to modify the floor plan, extend operating hours, and to provide three (3) additional televisions, totaling 5 televisions. The applicant is requesting modifications to conditions #4 and #5 of the current CUP. Existing condition language #4 The Conditional Use Permit applies exclusively to on-sale beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant. For clarification, Specific Condition 9 of Resolution PC 96-13 is revised as follows: Live entertainment (including amplified music, disc jockeys, live music whether acoustic or amplified, and live performances of all kinds) and customer dancing is prohibited. Televisions and amplified music, including speakers shall be prohibited within the first ten (10) feet of the front of the building. A maximum of two (2) televisions or similar displays shall be permitted in the remainder of the restaurant.

The permitted hours of operation shall be 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily for all operations of the restaurant, including the dining patio, with the exception of Federal and State holidays, Cinco de Mayo, and St. Patrick’s Day. All customers shall vacate the premises by not later than 10:00 pm (12:00 Midnight on holidays as stated) and the doors shall be locked. Proposed condition language #4____Live entertainment (including amplified music, disc jockeys, live music whether acoustic or amplified, and live performances of all kinds) and customer dancing is prohibited. Televisions and amplified music, including speakers shall be prohibited within the first ten (10) feet of the front of the building. A maximum of five (5) televisions or similar displays shall be permitted in the remainder of the restaurant. #6 __The hours of operation for all operations of the restaurant, including the bar area, shall be limited to between 7:00 A.M. and 11:00 P.M daily. All customers shall vacate the premises by no later than 11:00 P.M. and the doors shall be locked. __ The following summarizes the proposed modifications and their relationship to the current CUP and conditions of approval as provided in CC Resolution 10-6723. Floor Plan The current approved floor plan (attached) includes 118 total seats. There are 14 bar counter seats, 32 barstool seats, 24 front dining area seats, and 48 table/booth combo main dining seats. The kitchen, food preparation area, and storage space are located at the east portion of the tenant space. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 10 powered by Legistar™94 Staff Report REPORT 20-0597 There are two restrooms (each with two stalls) to the north portion of the tenant space. The existing occupant load authorizes a maximum of 130 people. The proposed floor plan (attached) includes 81 total seats (reduction in 37 seats). There are 11 bar counter seats; 28 casual bar seats, 6 front dining area seats, and 36 table/booth combo main dining seats. Five televisions are proposed on the floor plans. Three are proposed to be located behind the bar area, and will be setback 12 feet from the face of the building, one is proposed to be located in the casual dining area, and one is proposed to be located in the main dining area. Currently there are two televisions authorized in the CC Resolution 10-6723 however the current approved floor plan does not denote any televisions on the plans. Occupant load is anticipated to decrease from 130 people to a maximum of 100 people. Operating Hours/Late Night Intensification The current operating hours are 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily for all operations of the restaurant, including the dining patio, with the exception of Federal and State holidays, Cinco de Mayo, and St. Patrick’s Day. All customers shall vacate the premises by not later than 10:00 p.m. (12:00 Midnight on holidays as stated) and the doors shall be locked. Since the hours currently allow for the sale of alcohol past 11:00 p.m. on certain holidays, the previous restaurant (“Hot’s Kitchen”) was considered a late-night establishment pursuant to HBMC Subsection 17.40.080(B). HBMC Subsection 17.40.080(B) establishes conditions for late-night alcohol beverage establishments to operate after 11:00 p.m. Further, in connection with the adoption of this section of the code, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12-6816 to establish a limit on late-night on-sale alcohol establishments at 36 establishments. Pursuant to this Resolution, no new businesses can be permitted as late-night establishments unless they meet the criteria of Subsection 17.40.080(B). Currently there are 39 establishments considered late-night establishments (including the previous Hot’s Kitchen). (see Attachment 10 Citywide Beer and Wine/General Alcohol Matrix attached). The new restaurant is proposing to modify the operating hours to 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, and is therefore not subject to Section 17.40.080, nor considered a late-night establishment, and reduces the overall number of late-night establishments to 38 city-wide. Staff Recommended Changes to Existing Conditions of Approval: In addition to the proposed modifications to conditions related to the applicant’s request, staff recommends a new resolution of approval which incorporates all prior applicable conditions of approval, incorporating amendments from the applicant and staff, which will supersede prior resolutions CC 10-6723 and PC 96-13 and include more current conditions required of new restaurant establishments. Amendments to PC 96-13 include General Condition #2, #5 and CC 10- 6723 Conditions #4-6, 8, 12 (attached) while removing condition PC 96-13 Special Condition #7 and PC 96-13 General Condition #7, and adding conditions #5, #10, #12, #19, #23, #27 (attached) to provide additional clarity, remove irrelevant conditions and to include standard conditions of approval. CUP Criteria, Conditions, and Standards: Municipal Code Sections 17.40.020 and 17.40.080 address criteria, conditions and standards for reviewing, granting and amending CUPs in order to reduce the potential for adverse secondary land City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 10 powered by Legistar™95 Staff Report REPORT 20-0597 use impacts. In considering the granting of any conditional use permit, including an amendment, for any use, the following criteria for granting said permit shall be considered: A.Distance from existing residential uses; The entrance of the building is oriented towards Hermosa Avenue,a commercial street and there is no entrance or windows oriented towards the residential uses.Adjacent residential uses are located north of 8th Street between Palm Drive and Manhattan Avenue,within the R-3 Multiple Family residential zone and approximately 100 feet from the east tenant space wall. Conditions of approval are included that require:no more than 50%of the building frontage will have operable windows;noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City’s Nose Ordinance and the building shall be equipped with acoustic features and air conditioning to maximize sound proofing. B.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities,and its distance from the proposed use; The restaurant will share the building with an entertainment firm,International Tours Specialist (office use).There are six (6)shared parking spaces at the rear of the building.The parking is to remain shared and unassigned.The proposed modifications will maintain the existing restaurant use,and will not add floor area,and therefore parking is adequately provided in compliance with HBMC Subsection 17.52.035(D)(Requirements for buildings nonconforming to parking requirements).The resolution includes a condition of approval for a bike rack for a minimum of six (6)bikes however the location of the bike racks is not shown on the submitted floor plans.At the time of plan check,the Planning Department will confirm the location of the bike rack to ensure compliance with the CUP condition of approval. C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds; The proposed modifications are not likely to affect Noble Park which is the nearest sensitive receptor at approximately 0.4 miles from the project site,or other parks or similar uses in the vicinity due to distance and conditions on operation. D. The combination of uses proposed; The proposed project is located within the C-2 Restricted Commercial zone which aims to provide opportunities for a limited range of office,retail,and service commercial uses specifically appropriate for the scale and character of the downtown,a resident and visitor serving pedestrian-oriented shopping/ entertainment district. HMBC 17.04 defines restaurant 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.” The proposed restaurant,limited to on-sale beer and wine,is consistent with the C-2 Restricted Commercial zone and the surrounding uses.The proposed use and characteristics of the operation are consistent with the definition of a restaurant,and should not be considered a bar, stated in the HBMC 17.04 for the following reasons: ·The business will provide a total of 81 seats within the customer dining area which lens City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 6 of 10 powered by Legistar™96 Staff Report REPORT 20-0597 ·The business will provide a total of 81 seats within the customer dining area which lens to a dine in and sit-down restaurant service. ·It is proposed that 18-25 employees will be hired,which is typical of restaurant establish.A bar-only establishment does not typically service full meals and does not require additional service. ·The sample menu provided shows that full meals will be served ·The restaurant kitchen will 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. E.Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses; The proposal to alter restaurant operating hours from 7 a.m.-10 p.m.(7 a.m.-Midnight on Holidays)daily to 7 a.m.to 11 p.m.daily will not increase the number of late-night alcohol beverage establishments pursuant to Section 17.40.080 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. Late-night alcohol beverage establishments are on-sale establishments which operate after 11:00 P.M.,including restaurants,establishments that serve or allow alcoholic beverages as the primary use (e.g.,bars),and establishments that provide live entertainment.The objective of the City’s late-night alcohol beverage establishment policy is to reduce the potential for adverse impacts associated with late-night alcohol beverage establishments after 11:00 P.M. The proposal to alter hours will not increase the number of late-night alcohol beverage establishments and is consistent with the surrounding uses, and the intent of the C-2 zone. The applicant is proposing to recess the additional televisions 12 feet away from the pedestrian frontage.The applicant is also reducing the seat capacity and occupant load to assure compatibility of the new restaurant with the surrounding uses.The change in hours will also help the City meet its goal of reducing late-night alcohol establishments. F.The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets serving the area; No additional trips are anticipated to be generated as the restaurant use will remain and will City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 7 of 10 powered by Legistar™97 Staff Report REPORT 20-0597 No additional trips are anticipated to be generated as the restaurant use will remain and will not be expanded. G.The proposed exterior signs and decor,and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; Signage is reviewed and approved through a separate sign permit review.There are no exterior modifications proposed. H.The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment; There is a mix of commercial businesses along Hermosa Avenue,including six (6)other alcohol serving restaurants within a block of the Project.Three (3)of the six (6)establishments have on-sale general alcohol licenses while three (3)establishments have on-sale beer and wine.Four of these businesses are considered “late-night establishments.”The proposed physical modifications will have no effect on the number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; The entrance of the building is oriented towards Hermosa Avenue,a commercial street and there is no entrance or windows oriented towards the residential uses.Conditions of approval are included which require:no more than 50%of the building frontage will have operable windows,and noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City’s Nose Ordinance and the building shall be equipped with acoustic features and air conditioning to maximize sound proofing as conditioned. Five televisions are proposed on the floor plans.Three are proposed to be located behind the bar area,and will be setback 12 feet from the face of the building,one is proposed to be located in the casual dining area,and one is proposed to be located in the main dining area. The separation of the televisions in different rooms will lessen the noise impact and add to more of a sit-down restaurant ambiance. The applicant is further proposing the following sound dampening practices:instead of metal furniture as the previous location installed,the new business will utilize softer wood table tops and fabrics booths and seats,sound reduction boards on the main room walls and under the bar counters,and commercial grade area rugs on the hard surface floors under the louder seating areas. J. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; The existing restaurant use will continue,and current infrastructure is not anticipated to be impacted. K. Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area; The existing restaurant use will continue,and the proposed modifications will not change concentration of similar outlets in the area. L.Other considerations that,in the judgment of the Planning Commission,are necessary to assureCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 8 of 10 powered by Legistar™98 Staff Report REPORT 20-0597 L.Other considerations that,in the judgment of the Planning Commission,are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. No other issues are identified. Environmental Determination: Staff finds the project to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301 Existing Facilities, Item (a), Class 1 Existing Facilities. The modification of the floor plan at 844 Hermosa Avenue is exempt from CEQA because the Project involves a change to the floor plan of a commercial use within an existing building. General Plan Consistency: The establishment is located within the Community Commercial (CC) 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, including a mix of locally-owned businesses and regional or national restaurants located on the ground floor, which generate sales tax revenue. Community Commercial land uses primarily serve the local market, though they may also serve the needs of visitors and residents of nearby jurisdictions. Coastal priority uses include restaurants located Downtown which serve visitors to the beach and which rely on beach visitors for much of their revenue. The future vision of the Downtown District includes enhancing the building form and orientation as well as transforming the realm on Hermosa Avenue. Building design and orientation which supports high quality and lively pedestrian activity on Downtown streets is encouraged. The pedestrian orientation of Downtown streetscapes should be improved through providing cafés and recessed outdoor seating opportunities. The proposed restaurant is located on the first-floor street level which will promote lively pedestrian actively on Hermosa Avenue. The open-air dining further improves the public realm and promotes the pedestrian orientation of Downtown streets. One of the overarching goals of the General Plan is the need to maintain a strong, diverse and vibrant local economy. Attracting businesses sought after by the public will generate extra revenue and will ensure a healthy, vibrant economy. The Stanton HB is an upscale restaurant that will contribute to the local culture and economic vitality of the community. The restaurant will activate a space that has been vacate since 2018 and will provide a quality experience for visitors and the local community. Another goal of the General Plan is the desire to build a resilient economy that is supported by keeping local dollars in the local economy. The Stanton HB will support local jobs for the community and contribute to the culture of the Downtown District.

The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: SECTION 1. An application was filed on July 16, 2020 by Sheryl Brady representing Jason Cortes/ LA Hospitality, LLC (Business Owner), seeking approval for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for to allow on-sale beer and wine, floor plan alterations, and to modify conditions of approval to change operating hours from between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm daily and 7:00 am and Midnight on Holidays to between 7:00 am and 11:00 pm daily at an existing restaurant limited to on-sale beer and wine at 844 Hermosa Avenue, “The Stanton HB” (previously “Hot’s Kitchen”), and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). SECTION 2. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Guidelines, Section 15301(a), Class 1, Existing Facilities, because the proposal involves a change to the floor plan of a commercial use within an existing building. SECTION 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider CUP 20-06 on September 15, 2020, at which time the Staff Report and testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. SECTION 4. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings to modify the Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to section 17.40.020 of the Municipal Code: A. Distance from existing residential uses; The entrance of the building is oriented towards Hermosa Avenue, a commercial street and there is no entrance or windows oriented towards the residential uses. Adjacent residential uses are located north of 8th Street between Palm Drive and 101 2 Manhattan Avenue, within the R-3 Multiple Family residential zone and approximately 100 feet from the east tenant space wall. Conditions of approval are included that require: no more than 50% of the building frontage will have operable windows; noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City’s Nose Ordinance and the building shall be equipped with acoustic features and air conditioning to maximize sound proofing. B. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use; The restaurant will share the building with an entertainment firm, International Tours Specialist (office use). There are six (6) shared parking spaces at the rear of the building. The parking is to remain shared and unassigned. The proposed modifications will maintain the existing restaurant use, and will not add floor area, and therefore parking is adequately provided in compliance with HBMC Subsection 17.52.035(D) (Requirements for buildings nonconforming to parking requirements). The resolution includes a condition of approval for a bike rack for a minimum of six (6) bikes however the location of the bike racks is not shown on the submitted floor plans. At the time of plan check, the Planning Department will confirm the location of the bike rack to ensure compliance with the CUP condition of approval. C. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds; The proposed modifications are not likely to affect Noble Park which is the nearest sensitive receptor at approximately 0.4 miles from the project site, or other parks or similar uses in the vicinity due to distance and conditions on operation. D. The combination of uses proposed; The proposed project is located within the C-2 Restricted Commercial zone which aims to provide opportunities for a limited range of office, retail, and service commercial uses specifically appropriate for the scale and character of the downtown, a resident and visitor serving pedestrian-oriented shopping/ entertainment district. HMBC 17.04 defines restaurant 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.” The proposed restaurant, limited to on-sale beer and wine, is consistent with the C-2 Restricted Commercial zone and the surrounding uses. The proposed use and characteristics of the operation are consistent with the definition of a restaurant, and should not be considered a bar, stated in the HBMC 17.04 for the following reasons: • The business will provide a total of 81 seats within the customer dining area which lens to a dine in and sit-down restaurant service. 102 3 • It is proposed that 18-25 employees will be hired, which is typical of restaurant establish. A bar-only establishment does not typically service full meals and does not require additional service. • The sample menu provided shows that full meals will be served • The restaurant kitchen will 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. E. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses; The proposal to alter restaurant operating hours from 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. (7 a.m. – Midnight on Holidays) daily to 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily will not increase the number of late-night alcohol beverage establishments pursuant to Section 17.40.080 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. Late-night alcohol beverage establishments are on-sale establishments which operate after 11:00 P.M., including restaurants, establishments that serve or allow alcoholic beverages as the primary use (e.g., bars), and establishments that provide live entertainment. The objective of the City’s late-night alcohol beverage establishment policy is to reduce the potential for adverse impacts associated with late-night alcohol beverage establishments after 11:00 P.M. The proposal to alter hours will not increase the number of late-night alcohol beverage establishments and is consistent with the surrounding uses, and the intent of the C-2 zone. The applicant is proposing to recess the additional televisions 12 feet away from the pedestrian frontage. The applicant is also reducing the seat capacity and occupant load to assure compatibility of the new restaurant with the surrounding uses. The change in hours will also help the City meet its goal of reducing late- night alcohol establishments. F. The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of 103 4 streets serving the area; No additional trips are anticipated to be generated as the restaurant use will remain and will not be expanded. G. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; Signage is reviewed and approved through a separate sign permit review. There are no exterior modifications proposed. H. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment; There is a mix of commercial businesses along Hermosa Avenue, including six (6) other alcohol serving restaurants within a block of the Project. Three (3) of the six (6) establishments have on-sale general alcohol licenses while three (3) establishments have on-sale beer and wine. Four of these businesses are considered “late-night establishments.” The proposed physical modifications will have no effect on the number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; The entrance of the building is oriented towards Hermosa Avenue, a commercial street and there is no entrance or windows oriented towards the residential uses. Conditions of approval are included which require: no more than 50% of the building frontage will have operable windows, and noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City’s Nose Ordinance and the building shall be equipped with acoustic features and air conditioning to maximize sound proofing as conditioned. Five televisions are proposed on the floor plans. Three are proposed to be located behind the bar area, and will be setback 12 feet from the face of the building, one is proposed to be located in the casual dining area, and one is proposed to be located in the main dining area. The separation of the televisions in different rooms will lessen the noise impact and add to more of a sit-down restaurant ambiance. The applicant is further proposing the following sound dampening practices: instead of metal furniture as the previous location installed, the new business will utilize softer wood table tops and fabrics booths and seats, sound reduction boards on the main room walls and under the bar counters, and commercial grade area rugs on the hard surface floors under the louder seating areas. J. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; The existing restaurant use will continue, and current infrastructure is not anticipated to be impacted. K. Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area; The existing restaurant use will continue, and the proposed modifications will not 104 5 change concentration of similar outlets in the area. L. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. No other issues are identified. SECTION 5. Based on the foregoing, and pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Sections 17.40.020 and 18.40.080, the Planning Commission hereby modifies the Conditions of Approval of the Conditional Use Permit for on-sale alcohol – beer and wine, in conjunction with a restaurant for the property at 844 Hermosa Avenue, which supersedes City Council Resolution 10-6723 and Planning Commission Resolution 96-13 as follows: 1. The continued operation of the business shall be as a bona fide restaurant: the kitchen shall be equipped to prepare food from its component ingredients whenever the restaurant is open and it shall offer a full-service lunch and/or dinner menu; food service from the menu shall be available during all hours that the establishment is open for business, provided that said food service may cease one hour prior to close daily. 2. Alcohol may be served for on-premise consumption only and in a manner consistent with its license issued by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). 3. The restaurant shall maintain sales reports showing the actual items sold and price charged and invoices for all food, nonalcoholic beverages and alcohol beverages sold for the prior twelve (12) months. Should the Planning Commission or City Council initiate a CUP modification or revocation proceeding, the Commission, or the Council, may at its discretion require the subject business to provide (a) a statement of the percentage of gross sales, computed monthly, that resulted from the sale of prepared food for not longer than the prior twelve (12) months; and (b) the supporting data upon which the percentage is based. The Planning Commission, or City Council, may also require an audit of the records of the business by a certified public accountant to determine the gross sales of food and alcohol or a forensic audit by a qualified auditor selected by the city of the information and data systems by which the information is produced. The results of these audits may be used to determine whether the grounds for modification or revocation exist. When considering revocation or modification, a restaurant that sells or provides on-sale alcoholic beverages will be 105 6 presumed to be operating as a restaurant if the monthly food to alcohol sale ratios are consistent with the ratios in HBMC Subsection 17.70.010(H). 4.Live entertainment (including amplified music, disc jockeys, live music whether acoustic or amplified, and live performances of all kinds) and customer dancing is prohibited.

Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 2.52.040, the City Council took jurisdiction of the Planning Commission’s August 17, 2010, decision regarding 844 Hermosa Avenue. On October 12, 2010, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for an amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit at which time testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to and considered by the Council. SECTION 2. Based on the Staff Report, testimony, the record of the decision of the Planning Commission, and evidence received, both oral and written, the City Council makes the following factual findings: 1. On August 17, 2010, Planning Commission adopted PC Resolution 10-13 amending the Conditional Use Permit for a restaurant with on-sale beer and wine and outdoor dining at 844 Hermosa Avenue (Ken and Kent’s) to allow modifications requested by a new restaurant owner (Hot’s Kitchen). 2. An application was filed by ‘Hot’s Kitchen’ requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment (CUP 10-7) to an existing restaurant with on-sale beer and wine, with hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily and 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight on Federal and State holidays, Cinco de Mayo and St. Patrick’s Day, to add outdoor dining (by expanding the window openings along the front of the commercial building to create an open air dining area) and to modify the interior at 844 Hermosa Avenue. Alterations include: 120 10-6723 2 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 Replacement of a deli/bakery service counter with a “food counter” with 14 seats, and decrease in the formerly identified ‘patio’ area south of the front door from 30 to 24 seats. The operable windows in the formerly identified ‘patio’ dining area south of the front door on the approved plans will be converted to operable garage-style doors creating an ‘open air dining area’. The barrier between the formerly identified ‘patio area’ and the remainder of the restaurant on the approved plans is proposed to be eliminated. Windows on the façade north of the front door will also be converted to operable garage-style doors creating an ‘open air dining area’ encompassing bench seats adjacent to the garage-style doors. The kitchen will be enclosed so that doors and windows of the establishment may remain open, without screens, during operation. Other minor changes to seating configuration are proposed. 3. The site is zoned C-2, Restricted Commercial, which allows on-sale general alcoholic beverages and outdoor dining with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 4. The restaurant occupies 4,365 square feet on the ground floor of an existing 6,383 square foot two-story commercial building constructed pursuant to a precise development plan approved per Planning Commission Resolution 96-13. 5. The subject space was most recently occupied by ‘Ken and Kent’s New York Style Deli’ which operated pursuant to Planning Commission Resolutions 08-26 and 96-13, although improvements for the approved ‘patio’ dining with enlarged operable windows and barrier segregating the ‘patio’ area from adjoining seating were never constructed, and Ken and Kent’s vacated the premises in 2009. 6. A Conditional Use Permit and Precise Development Plan was approved in 1996 per Planning Commission Resolution 96-13 to allow construction of the building and on-sale alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a restaurant. The CUP was revoked per Planning Commission Resolution 07-15 because the use permit for alcohol service expired after the closure of the former restaurant. A CUP for a new restaurant with on-sale beer and wine and ‘patio’ 121 10-6723 3 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 dining was granted by Planning Commission Resolution 08-26, incorporating relevant conditions in Resolution PC 96-13 as the governing entitlement for the overall building improvement. 7. The changes to the interior are significant and the amendment is therefore required by Condition 1 of Planning Commission Resolution 08-26. The proposal is consistent with all findings and all conditions of Planning Commission Resolution 96-13, except as amended or clarified by this proposal and approval. SECTION 3. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act per CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(a), Class 1, Existing Facilities, because the proposal involves a change to floor plan to a commercial use within an existing building for essentially the same use, with slightly decreased seating, all services are available, and no significant impacts are identified. SECTION 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings the City Council makes the following findings substantiating that the Conditional Use Permit Amendment will be compatible with and not aversely affect the surrounding area pursuant to Section 17.40.020 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code: 1. The deli/bakery service counter in the 2008 approved plan will be replaced with a “food counter with alcohol” with 14 seats. Concerns associated with food counters or ‘bar-type’ settings, relating to increased potential for disturbances that may be associated with a bar/sports bar atmosphere, are minimal because the operation will continue to operate as a restaurant, close by 10:00 p.m. on all days (except approved holidays), live entertainment is not allowed and the project is appropriately conditioned regarding security, and a condition has been included that televisions be limited to two maximum located at least ten (10) feet east of the front of the building. 2. Conversion of windows to operable garage-style doors both south and north of the front door will create an open air dining area which will contribute to a vibrant pedestrian environment. The potential for noise impacts is reduced since live entertainment is not allowed, and a limit on the number of televisions and similar media within the establishment is made a condition of approval, in addition to the prohibition on TVs within the first ten (10) feet of the 122 10-6723 4 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 front of the building. The condition in PC Resolution 96-13 requiring rear doors to be closed during operating hours to reduce noise impacts is incorporated into this Resolution. The staff report prepared in 2008 also addressed noise concerns from the dining ‘patio’ which faces Hermosa Avenue, noting that the closest residential uses to the patio on Hermosa Avenue are at 10th Street (a nonconforming use) to the north and at 8th Street (R-3) to the south with the closest about 250 feet away. Regulating alcohol service and the closing hour, as well as prohibiting live entertainment was deemed adequate to reduce noise impacts, and this finding continues to be valid. 3. To address safety impacts and pass-through of alcoholic beverages to people on the sidewalk, railings are required along the window openings and non-disposable beverage ware is required. 4. Since the barrier that delimited the ‘patio’ area on the 2008 approved plan, which related to the prohibition on televisions and similar media, will be eliminated, and open air dining will be created, the project is conditioned upon a maximum of two televisions, to be located at least 10 feet east of the front of the building. 5. The kitchen will be enclosed so that the doors and windows may be opened without screens. Other seating will also be rearranged although the open floor plan will be maintained. The area devoted to dining and seating will not increase, and other than the counter/bar area noted above, the remainder of seating is a mix of benches and movable chairs. 6. The proposal will continue the same use approved in 2008, and will not add floor area or intensify the use, and therefore parking is adequately provided in conformity with H.B.M.C.

We are requesting an amendment to the original Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval of the tenant space, approved by Resolution No. 10- 6723, to allow the sale and dispensing of beer and wine for onsite consumption for our newest location, “The Stanton HB” at 844 Hermosa Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. We have a licensed property, “The Stanton DTLA”, in the downtown Los Angeles area. The Stanton HB is a family restaurant, serving a variety of dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Our newest location is 4,252 square feet in size and will seat approximately 81 patrons. Five (5) televisions will be located throughout the restaurant providing a variety of topics for families to enjoy such as current events highlights, sporting event updates , food/cooking shows, and etc. Operational hours will be from 10:00am – 11:00pm daily. Our proposed Hermosa Beach location will employ approximately 25-30 employees. The restaurant will have a lunch and dinner shift, employing approximately 6-8 employees during the lunch shift and 8-9 employees during the dinner shift, based on the day of the week. Because I reside in the Hermosa Beach area, I will serve as our Director of Operations handling the day to day operation of the restaurant. Also, a General Manager, Beverage Manager, and Shift Manager will be part of the management team. The Stanton HB is a bona fide family restaurant serving globally inspired dishes, fresh baked breads, locally sourced ingredients with an emphasis on fresh seafood. Our concept is globally inspired in terms of our menu. This concept embodies the essence of a neighborhood spot. We concentrate on approachable service and customer satisfaction. Many of the patrons, visiting our restaurant find the beer and wine to be a perfect complement to their food order. The beer and wine represent no more than 30% percent of the overall sales which will not pose any additional safety or security risks. As longtime residents of Hermosa Beach, we are committed to keeping The Stanton HB clean inside and outside and not add anything that will disturb our community, such as live music or improper lighting. If patron-to-patron disturbances arise, the trained local police will be contacted to handle the matter without disturbance to our adjacent neighbors. We are committed to our Hermosa Beach community.
