REPORT 20-0735
Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of November 17, 2020
Receive Tri-Annual Report for On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits
Recommended Action:
Receive and file the report.
This report covers the period from March 1 to August 31, 2020. Based on the information in the
report, no establishments have reached the “Standard Initiating Planning Commission Review”. In
the previous report submitted to the Planning Commission on October 20, 2020, staff indicated that
one establishment had reached the threshold for further review due to three CUP/Health Department
violations. After further review, it was determined that one of the violations involved the allegation of
patrons drinking in front of the business but it was not observed by city staff and should not be
counted as a CUP violation.
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 third 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
November 17, 2020.
The establishments required to prepare food to alcohol ratio reports for the first half of 2020 are
included in this report. The next report will be presented in February 2021 and will cover the period
between July 1 and December 31, 2020.
In late March, 2020 the LA County Department of Public Health ordered the closure of non-essential
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0735
businesses which included all bars and restaurants. Under the LA County Health order, restaurants
were still permitted to serve take-out orders and alcohol to go provided it was served in sealed
containers with a food order.
The regulatory relief by the ABC clearly stated “Further, such beverages may not be consumed in
public or in any other area where open containers are prohibited by law.” HBMC 17.40.080(a)(2)
states “The business shall prevent loitering, unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons
outside the business or in the immediate area.” Considering the requirements of the ABC regulatory
relief and the requirements of the HBMC, it is the responsibility of each business to ensure that their
patrons do not consume to-go alcohol in the immediate area.
On May 20, 2020, the LA County Department of Public Health, allowed limited re-openings of
restaurant seating in in outdoor locations only, and continuation of the allowance for take-out orders
of food and alcohol.
Analysis:
Police Reports and ABC Activity:
The Police Report includes a thorough summary of approach to reporting incidents, and their review
and statistics related to each location.
For the reporting period of March 1 and August 31, 2020, the Police Department highlighted the
following violations which are considered CUP violations for the purpose of this report:
Barnacles Bar and Grill, 837 Hermosa Avenue:
·Violation of the County Health order on 4/25/20 by allowing patrons to consume alcohol on the
patio, a practice for which they had been previously warned. This is separate from the later
closure by the County Health Department.
·Violation of HBMC 17.40.080 on 5/13/20 when several patrons we seen drinking in front of the
location. After further review, no violations were observed by the Police Department and this
incident should not be counted as a CUP violation. The call of patrons drinking in front was
discussed with the business owner.
The Deck, 1272 The Strand:
·Violation of HBMC 17.40.080 on 5/16/20 when several patrons were seen drinking in the alley.
The business had placed several chairs and tables in the alley adjacent to their back door. The
business brought the furniture inside after being contacted.
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 6

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0735
Silvio’s, 20 Pier Avenue:
·Violation of HBMC 17.40.080 on 5/10/20 when several patrons were seen drinking in front of
the business.
Slaters 50/50, 11 Pier Avenue:
·Slaters 50/50 violated HBMC 17.40.080 on 5/10/20 when several patrons were seen drinking
in their parking lot.
Any single incident may not rise to the level of a citation of the business if they can immediately
correct the violation. However, repeated or egregious violations, over the course of several weeks or
months should be used administratively and reported as CUP violations to gain and maintain
compliance. These violations should also be considered in the context of the multiple changes
presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Occupant Load:
The threshold to trigger review is one (1). Code Enforcement routinely checks on-sale
establishments and did not report occupant load violations during the review period. Due to the
Coronavirus pandemic, most establishments were either closed completely or obtained permits for
temporary outdoor dining areas during this reporting period.
No citations were issued by Code Enforcement during this reporting period as emphasis was directed
to educating various businesses as to how they were impacted by the myriad of Emergency Orders
that were issued on a regular basis.
Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention:
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 their
business license inspection program.
Code Enforcement/Violation of CUP Conditions:
Code Enforcement efforts have shifted in response to Covid-19. With the new temporary outdoor
dining/retail display program, Code Enforcement has been tasked with processing and verifying
these permits, as well as ensuring that the added seating does not exceed County guidelines
regarding occupant loads.
The success of their efforts can be seen throughout Hermosa Beach, particularly in the downtown
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 6

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0735
and upper Pier areas. Code Enforcement has also been instrumental in educating businesses
regarding proper face coverings and social distancing in these establishments.
Over the 4th of July weekend, our Enforcement team paired with County Health Inspectors to tour the
downtown district and ensure that we were following their guidelines. We have established an
excellent partnership with this vital department.
Violations that are both a code violation and a CUP violation are only counted once. Code
Enforcement issued no citations during this reporting period. Although many businesses received
warnings, policy is to request compliance prior to issuing a Citation during a single shift. Code
Enforcement considered the following as violations/incidents to highlight for this reporting period:
On May 5, 2020 Barnacles Bar & Grill was closed by the Health Department for 7 days due to serving
food and drink to patrons inside the establishment.
Code Enforcement Statistical Data Relating to Business Checks of Alcohol Serving Establishments
March 1 to August 31, 2020 is contained in Attachment 6, with the last reporting period report as
Attachment 7.
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. All have submitted the required documents.
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.

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0735
·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
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.
Note: While no citations were issued, Barnacles had at least one violation of the LA County Health
orders by allowing patrons to consume alcohol on their property at a time where it was prohibited.
Barnacles was also closed by LA County Health for a separate violation of the Public Health Order.
Barnacles had other complaints of patrons drinking in front of the business but those violations were
not observed by City staff.
In summary, no businesses have reached the threshold for further review by the Planning

Commission for this reporting period. In the report submitted to the Planning Commission on
October 20, 2020, staff indicated that Barnacles Bar and Grill had three violations which warranted
further review. In preparation for this report and meeting, staff conducted a more thorough review of
these incidents and determined that there was not enough evidence to consider one of the incidents
as a CUP violation.

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.

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.

Police Reports:
The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) conducts a thorough review of all police reports
related to establishments which hold an ABC alcohol permit. Each report is typically reviewed
individually by several people. The review process is initiated by the Crime Analyst, then a
review by the Operations Bureau Division Commander (Lieutenant), and the Police Captain
which is currently vacant. The Lieutenant and the Captain make recommendations to the Police
Chief regarding their determination of an establishment’s culpability related to Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) standards. In addition, the Operations Bureau Division Commander personally
makes contact with owners and managers of establishments related to any concern(s) the Police
Department may have of issues that do not rise to a CUP violation. The purpose of this
communication is to ensure that the establishment hears directly from the Police Department in
an effort to address issues before they rise to CUP violations or other potential safety concerns.
Police reports are initiated by a Call for Service (CFS). A CFS begins when someone requests
the help of the police (typically by a call to dispatch) or if an officer observes an
incident/violation/or contacts someone in an enforcement capacity. A CFS may result in a report,
citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. HBPD reviews both CFS and police reports related to
ABC permitted addresses. It is important to understand that a CFS or a report at a specific
address does not mean an incident happened inside the address. As an example, a traffic accident
or a fight reported at 1234 Main Street does not mean the incident occurred inside the address or
is associated with the business. The address may simply be associated as a landmark (identifying
the location of an incident) wherein the location itself had nothing to do with the incident. That
said, a location with a CFS or report should not be assumed to be problematic or involved in the
incident as the CFS or report may have nothing to do with the location other than used as a
landmark/identifying the location of an incident which occurred outside of the location.
In reporting back to the Planning Commission, HBPD will note the number of CFS and Reports
associated with an address. We also report back the category of the reports (e.g. Drunk,
Disturbance, Assault, etc.). An establishment will not have a CUP violation charged against
them, unless, in HBPD’s review process it is determined that the establishment was complicit or
clearly negligent in its actions which results in a violation of the CUP standards (Table 1.) As an
example, two people bump into each other inside of an establishment and one person hits the
other person without warning. Without additional information demonstrating the establishment’s
complicity or negligence, the establishment would not be charged with a CUP violation.
As the Planning Commission reviews HBPD’s statistics related to each location, it should be
understood that a location may have 4 “Total” reports, of which only 3 are “reviewed” would
mean one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of
report (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.), may or may not be charged against the
establishment based on the determination made the HBPD Chief of Police. As noted, this
determination will be made based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity
or negligence. If it is determined that an establishment is complicit or negligent, a number will be
assigned to the “Counted for CUP” column.

For context, the HBPD and the FBI categorizes assaults, sexual assaults and narcotics violations
as ‘serious crime.” With this in mind and with the agreement of the Planning Commission, it has
been determined that two (2) incidents of “Serious Crime on Premises Indicative of Lack of
Adequate Security” is the established criteria needed for the Chief of Police to request a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) review by the Planning Commission (as noted on Table 1 of the
CUP review standards). That said, the municipal code also provides: “the Chief of Police retains
authority to recommend CUP reviews to the Planning Commission at his/her discretion—
regardless of the number of incidents in any period of time, as stipulated in many current CUPs
and the Municipal Code.
Between 03/01/2020 and 08/31/20, 10 police reports and 31 CFS related to establishments with
CUPs merited review by police staff. Of these 10 reports, 4 were previously reviewed during the
last CUP as they occurred during either March or April of 2020.
Between 03/01/2020 and 08/31/20, Barnacles again had zero reports, and 6 CFS that were
reviewed. Two CFS were previously reviewed during the last CUP. One of the previously
reviewed calls was counted for CUP. This call was for subjects loitering at the location. Even
though they were not cited, the incident was considered an ABC and LA health order violation.
The general manager of Barnacles had previously been warned regarding several patrons on the
patio with drinks who did not order food. Of the 4 currently reviewed calls, none were counted
towards CUP. This call indicated that customers were drinking at the location. After further
review, no violations were observed by the Police Department. The incident was discussed with
the business owner.
The Deck had 5 calls for service reviewed and no reports. Of the CFS, one was found to be
counted for the CUP. This instance consisted of a multiple people located at the location eating
at tables. Some had drinks in clear cups that were not sealed. Code Enforcement was notified and
asked to talk to the business owner and to move table and chairs inside.
Silvio’s had one CFS reviewed and counted. The incident involved a patron who was drinking in
public in front of Sylvio’s. The patron was cited for possession of an open container of alcohol
in public. Per HBMC 17.40.080, the business is responsible for preventing loitering, unruliness
and boisterous activities of the patrons outside of the business or in the immediate area.
Slaters 50 50 had 2 CFS reviewed and one counted for CUP. On the incident which is counted,
four subjects were contacted in the parking lot of Slaters with open containers of alcohol. This
call was a violation of 17.40.080 in the parking lot of the location.

ABC Activity:
The Hermosa Beach Police Department previously participated in a tri-city (Hermosa Beach,
Manhattan Beach and El Segundo) grant with Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) which ended on
June 30, 2019. The tri-cities did not receive a new ABC grant for this fiscal year. We will be re-
applying for future grants. This grant provided funding for officers from each agency to work
together to impact alcohol related issues in each city. While this program is primarily
enforcement related, there is an educational component where police and ABC personnel meet
with the staff/ownership at on-site and off-site sales establishments to review expectations and
provide guidance. Updates of any future ABC grants will be provided to the Planning
Commission.
Responsible Beverage Service Training:
On March 10, 2020 Behavioral Health Services provided RBS training in Hermosa Beach and

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0734
The subject site at 2200 PCH is located at the northeast corner of the city, on the southeast corner of
PCH and 21st Street and in the Specific Plan Area 8 (SPA-8) zone with a Community Commercial
General Plan land use designation. The 27,189 square foot lot houses an approximately 29,338 sq.
ft.three-story multi-tenant commercial general office building. The building is three stories with the
first story consisting of a subterranean garage while office suites are provided on the second and
third floor levels. There are 35 tenant spaces (Attachment 2 pgs. 45-46). The site provides less than
required parking (86 spaces) due to changes to the City’s parking code requirements over time.
To the immediate south and on the direct street corner of the subject site is an existing commercial
office building occupied by Guarantee Escrow (807 21st Street) and to the south and across 21st
Street are single and multi-family residences (zoned R-1 and R-2). To the immediate north of the
subject site is a general office building occupied by Lane Design + Build ((2212 PCH) and the Hope
Chapel administrative/general office building (2306 PCH). An existing office building (2205 PCH) is
located west and across PCH. To the east and across Borden Avenue are single-family residences
located in the R-1 zone.
In 1981, the Planning Commission approved a 31 unit commercial office condominium project at
2200 PCH, approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) pursuant to Planning Commission (PC)
Resolution 81-26 (Attachment 5). The building was conceptually approved and permits were issued
in 1981 and construction was completed and finaled in 1985.
At that time, the City zoning code required retail and office uses to provide one (1) parking space for
each 300 square feet of gross floor area and did not distinguish between a higher parking
requirement for medical clinics. The approved plans for 2200 PCH identify 92 required parking
spaces based on the prior City code. The on-site parking supply has since been reduced to 86 on-
site parking spaces in order to accommodate ADA required parking spaces.
Since the building was built, the City’s parking standards have changed, rendering the building
nonconforming to current parking standards (even for general office and retail use). Pursuant to
HBMC Section 17.44.030, general office and retail uses now require one (1) parking space for every
250 square feet in gross floor area, whereas medical clinics require one (1) parking space per 200
square feet in gross floor area.
The City has been working with the property management company for 2200 PCH (Vectra
Management Group) since April of 2018 to find solutions to resolving the established medical clinic
uses which, under current city code, require more parking than general office uses. The City received
a letter from the property owner’s representative on November 26, 2019, addressing the City’s
inability to approve various medical clinic business license applications at the general commercial
building located at 2200 PCH due to the current on-site parking supply. The City sent a letter
responding on January 28, 2020 (Attachment 4) and suggested that the property located at 2200
PCH apply for consideration of a Parking Plan before the Planning Commission.
APPLICANT REQUEST
The applicant requests consideration of a Parking Plan to accommodate existing and future medical

clinic uses through utilizing up to 40 shared parking spaces located at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel) at
the southernmost end of the parking lot/structure (Attachment 2 pgs. 56-59) to accommodate up to
100 percent medical clinic/office uses at 2200 PCH. The building will remain unaltered as part of this
request. No additional square footage will be added, the building envelope (height and mass) will not
be increased and the building design will remain unchanged. The existing parking space
configuration and number of spaces will also remain unchanged.
ANALYSIS
Commercial permitted uses in the Specific Plan Area 8 zone shall be the same as those permitted in
C-3 general commercial zone and nonconforming uses shall be subject to the provisions of the City’s
Nonconforming Buildings and Uses ordinance. General office uses and medical clinics are both
permitted uses in the C-3 zone and are thus permitted in the SPA-8 zone.
Existing Parking Conditions
Parking for 2200 PCH is provided in the form of a surface parking lot/deck and subterranean parking
(Attachment 2 pgs. 60-62). The property provides 86 on-site parking spaces. 62 spaces are standard
(4 of which are provided in tandem), 24 spaces are compact and 2 spaces are disabled (ADA
compliant) spaces.
There are currently three medical clinic businesses with a combined floor area of 2,756 sq. ft. which
occupy 9.3 % of the total gross floor area. The remaining 26,852 sq. ft. in gross floor area (90.7%) is
occupied by general office and/or psychologist businesses (non-medical). The remaining 10,238 sq.
ft. of gross floor area is used as common access corridors (elevators, stairs, and halls) and balconies
and are therefore excluded from the gross floor area for parking calculation purposes pursuant to the
definition of “gross floor area provided in HBMC Section 17.44.010.
The building contains 29,338 square feet of gross floor area which includes leasable tenant space,
restrooms, storage and mezzanines on the third floor.
City Code Definitions
Provided below are the City commercial land use definitions and general definitions (Hermosa Beach
Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.04) which include the following related classifications.
"General office" means facilities where, as a primary use, the administrative activities of a business
are performed. General office includes but is not limited to:
D. Personal improvement services offices,including but not limited to counseling,tutoring and
similar services.Excludes gymnasium/health and fitness center, educational institutions,
medical office, beauty shops, massage therapy businesses,and similar uses.
"Medical or dental clinic" means a place that provides patient care services on an outpatient basis.
The City has been able to approve various business licenses for counselors and psychologists
offices at 2200 PCH without requiring additional parking. This is because the use is classified as
general office (and uses the parking standard for general office, not medical clinic). The City
interprets Psychologists as general office because Psychologists focus extensively on

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0734
psychotherapy and treating emotional and mental suffering in patients with counseling and behavioral
intervention. Based on the code definition, the distinction is that “counseling” does not involve
medical treatment, medical devices, medical testing, presence of nurses, and other aspects of a
medical office. As articulated in the code, psychologists providing counseling services is a general
office use.
A Psychiatrists office, on the other hand, is a medical clinic since psychiatrists are trained medical
doctors, they can prescribe medications, and they spend much of their time with patients on
medication management as a course of treatment (which also may include scales, blood pressure
and other medical tests to properly prescribe medication). Therefore, the city interprets Psychiatrists
office as a medical clinic and not a general office. The city has also been able to approve various
psychiatrists at 2200 PCH if the prior tenant space was occupied by a previously City approved
medical clinic.
However, when a space is converted from office or retail to medical clinic, that change requires
additional parking as set out in HBMC 7.52.035(E).
Non-Conforming Sites- Changes to a More Intense Use with a Higher Parking Requirement
The following limitations apply to buildings in commercial zones nonconforming as to parking. HBMC
Section 17.52.035(E) states, “When the use of an existing commercial, manufacturing or other non-
residential building or structure is changed to a more intense use with a higher parking requirement
the requirement for additional parking shall be calculated as the difference between the required
parking as stated in Section 17.44.030 for that particular use as compared to the requirement for the
existing or previous use, which shall be met prior to occupying the building unless otherwise specified
in Chapter. In order for uses with higher parking requirements to operate on site, the building would
need to provide additional parking spaces for the net increase in required parking.
This is important for two reasons. First, if a tenant space was occupied by a prior medical clinic,
which was issued a valid business license from the City, then a new medical clinic business could be
approved for that same tenant space without providing the additional parking spaces. This is because
the change in tenant is not an intensification for that space. However, due to the deficient code
required parking at 2200 PCH, if the tenant space were previously occupied by a non-medical
general commercial use (such as general office or retail) then a business license for a new medical
clinic business could not be approved until additional parking could be provided for the higher parking
intensive use (or through approval of a Parking Plan), which is the mechanism needed to authorize
less than required parking such as through use of common/shared parking facilities.
For these reasons, the current use mixture which includes various medical clinics must be properly
permitted through 1) approval of a Parking Plan and then 2) approval of business license
applications.
Additionally, the November 2019 letter references a connection between parking at Hope Chapel and
parking at 2200 PCH. In recent years, Hope Chapel has come in to the city for various entitlements
and changes of use, which change the parking requirement for the site. The Hope Chapel site has
received a Parking Plan, which is the mechanism provided in the HBMC for the city to authorize a
reduced amount of parking based on the finding that the site is adequately parked.

REPORT 20-0734
Private Parking Agreement History and City Approved Parking Plan Records
In 2010 the property owner of 2200 PCH authorized Hope Chapel (2420 PCH) and the prior youth
center (2510 PCH) to use parking at 2200 PCH on limited days and during limited hours. In 2010 the
Planning Commission approved the shared parking plan through PC Resolution 10-6. The 2010
parking plan authorized Hope Chapel and the previous youth center (now Lazy Acres grocery store)
to use shared parking at 2200 PCH. The approved parking plan did not authorize 2200 PCH to use
parking at 2420 PCH, 2510 PCH or 950 Artesia Blvd to meet parking requirements at 2200 PCH.
In 2017 the church owned properties received approval of a shared parking plan where all parking
was provided on the church owned properties (2420 PCH, 2510 PCH and 950 Artesia Blvd). As such,
the church and grocery store parking at 2200 PCH was no longer necessary, and PC Resolution 10-6
was rescinded and no longer in effect. Therefore, none of the 2200 PCH parking spaces are reserved
for use by the neighboring church and grocery store properties. The 40 off-site shared parking
spaces at 2420 PCH can be accessed from the sidewalk along PCH (Attachment 2 pgs. 63-64) so
that people can move from one shared parking lot to another by foot.
The City acknowledged the existence of the private parking agreement (Attachment 2 pgs. 35-44)
between 2200 PCH and the Hope Chapel properties within the Parking Plan Resolution (PC Reso 18
-14).The Parking Study was updated accordingly, based on use of up to 40 spaces Monday through
Friday from 7am to 6pm at Hope Chapel by the office tenants at 2200 PCH, and the Parking Study
concluded that adequate parking will still be provided for the Hope Chapel, Lazy Acres and 950
Artesia Blvd on-site uses. This Parking Plan, however, only regulates the use of the buildings that
were part of that application. Essentially the City found that even if tenants from 2200 PCH use up to
40 of the spaces during certain times of the day, the church and grocery store would still be
adequately parked. The approved parking plan did not authorize 2200 PCH to use parking at 2420
PCH, 2510 PCH or 950 Artesia Blvd to meet parking requirements at 2200 PCH.
Parking Plan
HBMC Section 17.44.210 provides that a Parking Plan may be approved by the Planning
Commission to allow for a reduction in the number of spaces required. The applicant shall provide
the information necessary to show that adequate parking will be provided for customers, clients,
visitors and employees. Factors such as the following may be taken into consideration: van pools,
bicycle and foot traffic,common parking facilities,varied work shifts, valet parking,unique features of
the proposed uses, peak hours of the proposed use as compared with other uses sharing the same
parking facilities, and other methods of reducing parking demand.
Net Increase Parking Methodology for Existing Non-Conforming Buildings:
29,338 sq. ft. (gross floor area)
2,756 sq. ft. (existing medical) / (1:200 medical ratio) = 14 parking spaces
26,582 sq. ft. (existing non-medical) / (1:250 non-medical ratio) = 106 parking spaces
Total non-conforming code required parking = 120 parking spaces
Request to convert 26,582 sq. ft. (existing non-medical) to medical (1:200) = 133 parking spaces
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 9
powered by Legistar™43
Staff Report
REPORT 20-0734
133 (required for medical conversion) - 106 (existing non-medical parking credit) = Net increase in 27
parking spaces required.
Going from 26,852 sq. ft. of general office uses to 100 percent medical uses would require 27 net
additional parking spaces from the 86 parking spaces currently provided on-site at 2200 PCH.
Therefore, the net increase in code required parking can be met though use of up to 40 shared
spaced at 2420 PCH.
Parking Study and Parking Analysis Methodology:
Existing Parking Demands and Surpluses
The applicant submitted a Parking Analysis prepared by Linscott Law & Greenspan, dated October
19, 2018 (Attachment 2 pgs. 22-32). Planning Staff reviewed the Parking Analysis and concurs with
the conclusion of the Parking Analysis which, taking into account the empirical parking needs for
2200 PCH (based on actual parking counts conducted in July 2018), and a future scenario of 100%
medical office use, the conversion to 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served by
the 126-space supply for the 2200 PCH Building.
.
Parking demand surveys were conducted on Wednesday, July 25, 2018, and Saturday,
July 27, 2018, to determine the existing parking needs of the existing tenants at the 2200 PCH
Building. The Building was at 100% tenancy (i.e., fully occupied) when the parking demand counts
were performed. As indicated on Table 2, the weekday peak demand observed for 2200 PCH was 41
spaces (at 3:00 PM). Comparing this 41-space demand against the on-site supply of 85 spaces for
2200 PCH results in an existing, actual/operational surplus of 44 spaces. Based on this, the current
parking needs of the 2200 PCH building are fully met by spaces on site, without having to rely on the
use of off-site parking spaces (i.e., up to 40 spaces at 2420 PCH).
Under weekday conditions presented on Table 2, the total weekday peak demand for 2200 PCH and
the Hope Chapel structure is 127 spaces (at 11:00 AM). Comparing against the total supply of 210
spaces, the 127-space peak demand results in a surplus 83 spaces.Table 3 indicates an actual
surplus of 182 spaces at the minimum.
Future/ Proposed Parking Demand and Surpluses
The applicant is interested in implementing development Scenario 2 (100 percent medical). Table 5
indicates that the weekday peak demand under development Scenario 2 would be 86 spaces (at 5:00
PM). Comparing this 86-space demand against the 125-space supply available for use by 2200 PCH
yields in a future surplus of 39 spaces.
The 39-space surplus under Scenario 2 is a conservative estimate because it was derived from the
application of City Code ratios. The actual parking requirements for medical offices have been found
to be less than the City Code requirement of 5 spaces per 1,000 SF. This aspect is illustrated by
actual parking demand compilations from other sources, and detailed study of the actual parking
demands of similar sites.Parking Generation,published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE)1 as well as articles published in ITE Journal provide additional sources for parking ratio
information.

In addition, other jurisdictions in Los Angeles County and that are near the City of Hermosa Beach all
have code parking ratios for medical office buildings that are less, as follows:

·spaces per 1,000 SF
·Rancho Palos Verdes: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
·Santa Monica: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
·Hawthorne: 3.33 spaces per 1,000 SF
·Culver City: 2.86 spaces per 1,000 SF
Environmental Determination:
Staff finds the project to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
defined in CEQA Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities, as the project involves negligible or no
expansion of an existing use.
The 27,189 square foot lot houses an approximately 29,338 sq. ft.three-story multi-tenant
commercial general office building. The applicant requests consideration of a Parking Plan to
accommodate existing and future medical clinic uses through utilizing up to 40 shared parking
spaces located at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel) at the southernmost end of the parking lot/structure to
accommodate up to 100 percent medical clinic/office uses at 2200 PCH. The building will remain
unaltered as part of this request. No additional square footage will be added, the building envelope
(height and mass) will not be increased and the building design will remain unchanged. The existing
parking space configuration and number of spaces will also remain unchanged.
General Plan Consistency:
The subject property is located within the Community Commercial General Plan land use area. This
land use area should provide for locally-oriented uses including retail stores, restaurants,
professional and medical offices, and personal services. This designation provides 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. This designation provides space for locally oriented commercial uses including
retail stores, restaurants, professional and medical offices, and personal services. 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.
The subject property is also located within the Pacific Coast Highway Character Area. The PCH
corridor serves as the primary entry point into Hermosa Beach, as well as a pass-through corridor
between Manhattan Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. There should be a variety of commercial
retail, office, residential, and auto-oriented uses along the corridor. The future vision for the corridor
specifically identifies that consolidated parking facilities are added at key locations along the corridor.
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 7 of 9

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0734
A mix of office and commercial uses along the corridor should be organized around key activity
nodes, with limited residential uses. Larger scale professional office spaces, hotels and visitor
serving uses, and commercial retail space are provided to serve both local residents and the region.
The desired form and character for the corridor specifies that parking should be arranged along sides
or underneath buildings, with gateway commercial uses providing parking structures.
The existing multi-tenant commercial general office building with general office, psychologist, and
medical clinic uses are considered appropriate uses within this area, and with use of shared parking,
compatibility with adjacent uses, and its location along a transit-supported arterial, the request is
consistent with the goals and the following policies of the General Plan: Land Use policies 1.1
(diverse and distributed land use pattern), 1.3 (access to daily activities), 1.4 (diverse commercial
areas), 1.5 (balance resident and visitor needs), 1.7 (compatibility of uses), 3.1 (unique districts), 3.4
(emerging employment sectors), 4.3 (diverse range of uses), 13.2 (social and health needs), and
13.4 (private health uses) in addition to Mobility policies 4.1 (shared parking), 4.3 (reduce impacts),
4.8 (ensure commercial parking), 4.11 (consolidated parking facilities).
Although Land Use Goal 3.3 speaks to the creation and preservation of diverse retail and office
centers through, “providing incentives to transform existing single-use
commercial properties that are accessible into retail destinations by adding a diversity of
uses,” in 1981 the commercial office building was designed and laid out in a way to facilitate and
accommodate office uses. Therefore, introducing retail uses into the existing commercial office
building format would not be appropriate. The building has limited street presence required for retail
uses and lacks a pedestrian focused frontage. The existing office building separates tenants with
access halls and corridors which works well for office uses and their employees and clients but would
not lend to a thriving retail center format where a customer needs to be able to move easily from one
retailer (side-by-side) to the next.
Perfect consistency is not required with all general plan policies. Consistency means that the project
does not impede the City’s ability to meet its general plan goals. The project should be generally in
line with the City’s long term vision set out in the PLAN and the project should allow the city to meet
its goals.
Summary
In 1981 the City zoning code required retail and office uses to provide one parking space for each
300 square feet of gross floor area and did not distinguish between a higher parking requirement for
medical clinics. Since the building was built, the City’s parking standards have changed, rendering
the building nonconforming to current parking standards.
The proposed Parking Plan (PARK 20-4) to allow medical clinic/office uses at an existing multi-tenant
commercial building (Pacific Plaza Offices) located at 2200 Pacific Coast Highway based on use of
up to 40 shared parking spaces with 2420 Pacific Coast Highway (Hope Chapel); as conditioned, is
consistent with the zoning code and PLAN Hermosa through:
1) Applying the City’s non-conforming parking methodology which concludes that converting to 100
percent medical uses would require 27 net additional parking spaces which can be met though use of
up to 40 shared spaced at 2420 PCH and with

2) Technical evidence provided through the parking analysis/study which concludes that the
conversion to 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served by the 125-space supply
due to the actual demand being 86-spaces yielding a future surplus of 39 spaces.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the Parking
Plan; determining that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality

existing multi-tenant commercial building (Pacific Plaza Offices) located at 2200 Pacific Coast
Highway based on use of up to 40 shared parking spaces with 2420 Pacific Coast Highway (Hope
Chapel).
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider
the application on November 17, 2020, at which time testimony and evidence, both oral and
written, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act defined in CEQA Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities, as the project involves
negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
The 27,189 square foot lot houses an approximately 29,338 sq. ft. three-story multi-tenant
commercial general office building. The applicant requests consideration of a Parking Plan to
accommodate existing and future medical clinic uses through utilizing up to 40 shared parking
spaces located at 2420 PCH (Hope Chapel) at the southernmost end of the parking lot/structure
to accommodate up to 100 percent medical clinic/office uses at 2200 PCH. The building will
remain unaltered as part of this request. No additional square footage will be added, the building
envelope (height and mass) will not be increased and the building design will remain unchanged.
The existing parking space configuration and number of spaces will also remain unchanged.
Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission
makes the following factual findings pertaining to the application for a Parking Plan pursuant to
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.44.210:
In 1981 the City zoning code required retail and office uses to provide one parking space for
each 300 square feet of gross floor area and did not distinguish between a higher parking
requirement for medical clinics. Since the building was built, the City’s parking standards have
changed, rendering the building nonconforming to current parking standards.

The proposed Parking Plan (PARK 20-4) to allow up to 100 percent medical clinic/office uses at
an existing multi-tenant commercial building (Pacific Plaza Offices) located at 2200 Pacific Coast
Highway based on use of up to 40 shared parking spaces with 2420 Pacific Coast Highway (Hope
Chapel); as conditioned, is consistent with the zoning code and PLAN Hermosa through:
1) Applying the City’s non-conforming parking methodology which concludes that
converting to 100 percent medical uses would require 27 net additional parking spaces
which can be met though use of up to 40 shared spaced at 2420 PCH and with
2) Technical evidence provided through the parking analysis/study which concludes that
the conversion to 100 percent medical office use would be adequately served by the 125-
space supply due to the actual demand being 86-spaces yielding a future surplus of 39
spaces.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the
proposed Parking Plan 20-04 subject to the following Conditions of Approval:
1. The approximately 29,338 sq. ft. three-story multi-tenant office building shall be
substantially consistent with plans and application submitted and approved by the
Planning Commission on November 17, 2020, authorizing up to 100 percent medical
clinic uses. The Community Development Director shall review and may approve
minor modifications that do not otherwise conflict with the Municipal Code or
requirements of this approval, provided that the use is not changed, intensity of use
is not increased and the arrangement of space would not increase negative impacts.
Any substantial deviation, changes to the floor plan, site plan, building exterior or
addition to the hours which alter the primary function of the use as a general
commercial office and medical clinic building shall be subject to review and
approval by the Planning Commission.
2. Prior P.C. Resolution 81-26 pertaining to the subject property at 2200 Pacific Coast
Highway shall remain in full force and effect.
3. An ‘Acceptance of Conditions’ affidavit and recording fees shall be filed with the
Planning Division of the Community Development Department stating that the
applicant/property owner is aware of, and agrees to accept, all of the conditions of

to the existing parking access agreement between 2200 PCH and 2420 PCH and any
new parking access agreements that in any way reduce the amount of available
parking at 2420 PCH shall require approval of a Parking Plan Amendment by the
Planning Commission prior to implementation.
5. 2200 PCH shall maintain a minimum of 86 parking spaces on-site during all hours
of operation.
49
3
6. All parking shall be shared (not designated) and shared parking use signage shall be
established in all parking areas.
7. The two rear tandem spaces shall be reserved for use of long-term visitors and
employees.
8. The subject property shall be developed, maintained and operated in full
compliance with the conditions of this grant and any law, statute, ordinance or other
regulation hereafter adopted that is applicable to any development or activity on the
subject property. Failure of the permittee to cease any development or activity not
in full compliance shall be a violation of these conditions.
9. The Planning Commission may review this Parking Plan and may amend the
subject conditions or impose any new conditions if deemed necessary to mitigate
detrimental effects on the neighborhood or to the public safety and welfare resulting
from the subject use pursuant to the procedures for modification/revocation in the
HBMC.
10. Approval of this permit shall be effective upon the permittee/owner providing
evidence to the City of recording of the signed Acceptance of Conditions’ affidavit
with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office.
Section 6. This permit shall not be effective for any purposes until the permittee and the
owner of the property involved provide evidence to the office of the Planning Division of the
Community Development Department of recording of the signed Acceptance of Conditions’

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2200 Associates, LLC (“applicant”) hereby requests that the City of Hermosa Beach
Planning Commission (“Planning Commission”) formally approve a Parking Plan for 2200
Pacific Coast Highway (“PCH”) pursuant to City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”)
section 17.44.210 (“Parking Plan”). The applicant also requests that the approval acknowledge
four existing tandem parking spaces at 2200 PCH.
By seeking a Parking Plan approval, the applicant seeks formal acknowledgment that the
Property complies with City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) parking requirements for 100 percent
medical office use based on the existence of 86 on-site parking spaces and 40 off-site parking
spaces.
1. Justification for 100 Percent Medical Office Use with Current Available Parking
Original City Approval
2200 (PCH) is a commercial building built in 1981, approved for general office use. At
that time, the HBMC required three parking spaces per 1,000 s.f.., or 92 parking spaces, for the
building.
53
2
Existing Parking Ratios under the HBMC
The HBMC bases parking requirements on the proportion of a building’s “gross floor
area.” 1 occupied by a particular type of use. Whereas in 1981, the HBMC considered medical
office use as a subset of general office use, and therefore subject to the same parking
requirement, the code now imposes different parking requirements for general office and medical
office uses. General office use now requires four spaces per 1,000 s.f. (or 1:250). Medical office
use now requires five spaces per 1,000 s.f. (or 1:200). (See HBMC, § 17.44.030.).
The Existing Mix of Uses at 2200 PCH is 9.3% Medical and 90.7% General Office
2200 PCH has a gross floor area of 29,338 s.f., based on a floor plan survey of each
office prepared by Lasertech in July 2017 (Attachment 2 of the application). Per the HBMC, the
building’s gross floor area is calculated as the aggregate gross floor area of all offices plus the
gross floor area of all restrooms.
The City considers an office to be a medical office if it involves the provision of services
by a medical doctor. To determine how much of the gross floor area of 2200 PCH currently is
occupied by medical offices, versus general office space, we matched up the gross floor area of
each office with its tenant and identified whether the tenant’s business involved the provision of
services by a medical doctor. Based on such a survey, we determined the medical/general office
usage to be as follows:
Medical Offices:
1147.8 sq. ft. Wellness Institute of Southern California (Suite 217)
753.9 sq. ft. Kelly Waggoner and Michele Blume (Suite 215)
855.1 sq. ft. Alann Dingle, Jacqueline Mills, and Elizabeth Cowart (Suite 218)
2,756 sq. ft.
Building Gross Floor Area: 29,338 s.f.
Total Medical Use: 2,756 sq. ft. or 9.3% Medical Office Use
Total General Office Use: 26,582 s.f. or 90.7% General Office Use
This analysis is based on the current tenant roster set forth below.
1 The term “gross floor area” means “the total area occupied by a building or structure, excepting therefrom only the
area of any inner open courts, corridors, open balconies (except when utilized, e.g., restaurant seating or similar
usage), and open stairways. Such total area shall be calculated by measuring along the outside dimensions of the
exterior surfaces of such building or structure.” HBMC, § 17.44.010.

113 Parking Spaces are Required for a Change to 100 Percent Office Use
The parking requirement for medical office use is greater than that required for general
office use. Therefore, a change from 9.3% medical office use to 100% medical office use
triggers a change in the required parking.
55
4
Under HBMC 17.52.035(E), when the use of an existing commercial building is changed
to a more intense use with a higher parking requirement, the requirement for additional parking
is the difference between the currently required parking for that particular use and the existing
available parking. In order for uses with higher parking requirements to operate on site, the
building would need to provide additional parking spaces for the net increase in required
parking.
In this case, the gross floor area subject to the change in use is 26,582 sq. ft. of general
office space. The current required parking for 26,582 sq. ft. of general office spaces is 106
parking spaces. The required parking for 26,582 sq. ft. of medical office space is 133 parking
spaces. The net increase for required parking is 27 parking spaces. Therefore, to support a
change in use to 100% medical office space, the required parking is 86 spaces (current) plus 27
spaces (net increase), which equals 113 parking spaces.
2200 PCH has 126 Available Parking Spaces
2200 PCH has 86 on-site parking spaces and access to 40 off-site parking spaces. 2 Four
of the on-site spaces are tandem spaces. The site has access to the additional 40 off-site spaces at
2420 PCH by way of an easement agreement (“Parking Easement”) with the property owner,
International Church of the Four Square Gospel (Hope Chapel). The City has acknowledged the
existence of the Parking Easement. (See, Planning Commission Resolution 18-14, enclosed
herewith.) The City noted if 2200 PCH used the 40 spaces subject to the easement, Hope Chapel
would still be adequately parked. (Id.)
An easement is a property right. (See People v. Kubic (1967) 254 Cal.App.2d 470.) The
Parking Easement permits access to the 2420 PCH parking stalls on Mondays through Fridays,
from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Those times are consistent with the peak hours for uses on the 2200
PCH and the off-peak times for 2420 PCH. The Parking Easement also sets forth maintenance
obligations on the 2420 PCH. (See, Parking Easement, at p. 2.) Such obligations ensure that the
parking stalls will be maintained in accordance with the intent of HBMC section 17.44.060,
governing “common parking facilities.” The Property has enjoyed the right to use the additional
parking spaces at 2420 PCH since the early 1980s, either through a parking easement or the
original joint ownership of the two parcels. Notably, 2200 Associates granted Hope Chapel a
similar easement for the benefit of 2420 PCH to use 40 parking stalls at 2200 PCH from 6:00 PM
on Fridays to 12:00 AM on Sundays. The two easements therefore appear to be reciprocal.
The 2018 Parking Analysis
In 2018, Linscott, Law & Greenspan prepared a parking analysis finding that with the
combined 126 on-site and off-site parking spaces, 2200 PCH had a sizable surplus of parking
compared to parking demand. We note that the Linscott Analysis had certain assumptions that
varied from those in our application. For instance, the Linscott Analysis used a “net building
area” of 27,406 sq. ft. and identified only 85 parking spaces on site. As to the number of parking
spaces, the Linscott Analysis lists 46 spaces in the gated east subterranean parking garage for
tenants. A current survey of that garage shows only 45 spaces, because one of the spaces is
2 The reduction in on-site spaces of 92 in 1981 to 86 at present is the result of re-striping to incorporate
ADA spaces and the loss of spaces due to the installation of equipment partially blocking spaces.

blocked by mechanical equipment. The Linscott Analysis lists only 2 tandem spaces, though
both the current parking survey and the original site plans show 4 tandem parking spaces.
Furthermore, the Linscott Analysis did not find any existing medical offices on site, but we are
not aware of whether Linscott investigated whether any were occupied by medical doctors.
Notwithstanding these issues, we believe that the findings of the Linscott Analysis
remain applicable to the parking conditions on the site, given the large surplus of available
spaces identified by the Analysis.
2. Conclusion
The total available parking for 2200 PCH is 126 spaces, exceeding both the 92 spaces
required by the 1981 City approval and the 113 spaces required by a change in use under the
current code. We request that the Planning Commission formally approve a Parking Plan
pursuant to HBMC section 17.44.210, including acknowledgment of four tandem parking spaces,
thereby finding sufficient parking for 100 percent medical office use at 2200 PCH.

Ms. Sarah Chionis
Mar Ventures, Inc.
721 N. Douglas Street
El Segundo, CA 90245
LLG Reference: 2.18.4010.1
Subject: Parking Study for 2200 Pacific Coast Highway
Hermosa Beach, California
Dear Ms. Chionis:
As requested, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this
parking study for the 2200 Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) building located in the City
of Hermosa Beach. The existing building is 27,406 square feet (SF) in size,
consisting of 18,217 SF of general office, 1,007 SF of massage therapist/acupuncture
uses, a 1,135-SF wellness center, and 7,047 SF of therapist offices.
This study was conducted to assess the feasibility of increasing medical office uses
within the 2200 PCH Building by converting from existing general office space. In
addition to the existing land use mix, two future development scenarios were
evaluated, with each tabulation incrementally adding more medical office uses by
reducing general office uses in the 2200 PCH Building.
The existing on-site supply for 2200 PCH totals 85 spaces, consisting of 46 spaces in
a gated parking garage for tenants, 19 spaces on a visitor parking lot, 18 spaces on a
subterranean level below the visitor parking lot, and 2 spaces in tandem on one of the
project driveways. In addition, this study accounts for up to 40 spaces in the
adjoining Hope Chapel parking structure that the 2200 PCH Building may use from
7:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Monday through Friday (not on Saturday or Sunday). The
total existing parking supply for 2200 PCH is therefore 125 spaces (85 on site, plus
40 off site/at Hope Chapel).
Briefly, our findings indicate that the City Code-based parking requirements for the
existing land use mix, and development Scenario 1, would be adequately served by
2200 PCH’s current supply of 125 spaces. The City Code-based requirements under
development Scenario 2 would exceed the 125-space supply by 12 spaces. Taking
into account the empirical parking needs for 2200 PCH (based on actual parking
counts conducted in July 2018), the existing land use mix, and each of the two future
Scenarios 1 and 2 would be adequately served by the 125-space supply for the 2200
PCH Building.

for the 2200 PCH Building, with each tabulation incrementally adding more medical
office by reducing general office uses in the 2200 PCH Building. The following
presents a land use breakdown for the existing and future scenarios:
Land Use Existing Scenario 1 Scenario 2
General Office 66% 36% 0%
Massage Therapist
& Acupuncture 4% 4% 0%
Wellness Center 4% 4% 0%
Therapist Office 26% 26% 26%
Medical Office 0% 30% 74%
PROJECT CITY CODE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The lower portion of Table 1 presents the City Code parking calculations for the
existing and future scenarios for the 2200 PCH Building, based on the application of
City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code requirements outlined in Chapter 17.44 – Off
Street Parking.
Under the existing land use mix, the City Code requirement totals 117 spaces, which
corresponds to a Code-based surplus of 8 spaces when compared against the total
supply of 125 spaces for the 2200 PCH Building.
The City Code requirement for Scenario 1 totals 125 spaces, which would exactly
match the 125-space total supply.
The City Code requirement for Scenario 2 totals 137 spaces. Compared against the
125-space supply, the 137-space Code requirement would result in a Code-based
deficiency of 12 spaces.
EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS
Parking demand surveys were conducted on Wednesday, July 25, 2018, and Saturday,
July 27, 2018, to determine the existing parking needs of the existing tenants at 2200
PCH Building. It should be noted that the Building was at 100% tenancy (i.e., fully
occupied) when the parking demand counts were performed. The parking utilization
survey results for weekday and Saturday conditions are summarized in Tables 2 and
3, respectively.

The left-hand portion (in yellow) of Tables 2 and 3 present a comparison of observed
demand against supply focused to the 85 on-site spaces in Zones 1 through 4 at 2200
PCH. The right-hand portion (in green) of Tables 2 and 3 then adds the demand
observed in the adjoining 125-space parking structure owned by Hope Chapel
(categorized by the 24 spaces located closest to 2200 PCH, and the remainder of 101
spaces). The right-hand columns (in blue) of Tables 2 and 3 report the totals for 2200
PCH and Hope Chapel’s parking structure.
As indicated on Table 2, the weekday peak demand observed for 2200 PCH was 41
spaces (at 3:00 PM). Comparing this 41-space demand against the on-site supply of
85 spaces for 2200 PCH results in an existing, actual/operational surplus of 44 spaces.
Surpluses are greater during all other hours of the weekday. Based on this, the
current parking needs of the 2200 PCH Building are fully met by spaces on site,
without having to rely on the use of off-site parking spaces (i.e., 40 spaces in the
adjoining Hope Chapel parking structure).
Under weekday conditions presented on Table 2, the Hope Chapel parking structure
has an existing peak demand of 95 spaces (at 11:00 AM), which corresponds to a
surplus of 30 spaces compared to Hope Chapel’s 125-space supply in the structure.
The total weekday peak demand for 2200 PCH and the Hope Chapel structure is 127
spaces (at 11:00 AM). Comparing against the total supply of 210 spaces, the 127-
space peak demand results in a surplus 83 spaces.
Table 3 indicates that parking demand on a Saturday are significantly less than
weekday conditions for both the 2200 PCH Building and the Hope Chapel parking
structure, resulting in an actual surplus of 182 spaces at the minimum.
FUTURE PARKING DEMAND
Starting with the observed demand in the 85-space on-site supply for 2200 PCH
(based on the July 25, 2018 parking demand counts), then accounting for the future
conversion from existing general office to future medical office, Tables 4 and 5 were
developed to identify future surplus or deficiency.
The middle portion of each table reports parking needs for specific suites in the 2200
PCH Building, as its current use as general office, then as future medical office. The
demand values reported under these column headings were estimated based upon the
application of City Code parking ratios for general office (4 spaces per 1,000 SF) and
medical office (5 spaces per 1,000 SF), and the hourly demand profiles from the Urban
Land Institute’s (ULI’s) Shared Parking (Second Edition) publication. The hourly
demand values for the general office to be replaced are subtractive, and those in the
future medical office category are additive.

Table 4 indicates that the weekday peak demand under development Scenario 1 would
be 61 spaces (at 11:00 AM). Comparing this 61-space demand against the 125-space
supply available for use by 2200 PCH results in a future surplus of 64 spaces.
Table 5 indicates that the weekday peak demand under development Scenario 2 would
be 86 spaces (at 5:00 PM). Comparing this 86-space demand against the 125-space
supply available for use by 2200 PCH yields in a future surplus of 39 spaces.
The 39-space surplus under Scenario 2 is a conservative estimate because it was
derived from the application of City Code ratios. The actual parking requirements for
medical offices have been found to be less than the City Code requirement of 5
spaces per 1,000 SF. This aspect is illustrated by actual parking demand compilations
from other sources, and detailed study of the actual parking demands of similar sites.
Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)1 as
well as articles published in ITE Journal provide additional sources for parking ratio
information. “Land Use 720: Medical-Dental Office Building” of Parking
Generation covered 18 sites that resulted in an average parking demand ratio of 3.53
spaces/1,000 SF, with an 85th percentile value of 4.30 spaces/1,000 SF. Further, an
ITE Journal article on medical office buildings2 concluded that 4.5 parking
spaces/1,000 SF should be provided for medical office buildings.
Other sources for medical office parking ratios come from actual experience at
equivalent sites, or in the case of medical office uses, overall medical center sites
where the medical office parking needs were isolated from the total medical center
parking demand by detailed field study and analysis. One such study was that for the
Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Medical Center in Santa Clarita. A 2007 study by
LLG (with final report dated May 19, 2008) isolated the parking needs for
approximately 95,000 SF of existing medical office space at 4.64 spaces/1,000 SF.
In addition, other jurisdictions in Los Angeles County and that are near the City of
Hermosa Beach all have code parking ratios for medical office buildings that are less,
as follows:
Redondo Beach (for chiropractic, physical therapy, psychotherapy): 3.33
spaces per 1,000 SF
Rancho Palos Verdes: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
Santa Monica: 4 spaces per 1,000 SF
Hawthorne: 3.33 spaces per 1,000 SF
Culver City: 2.86 spaces per 1,000 SF

Based on the above, we conclude that taking into account the empirical parking needs
for 2200 PCH (based on actual parking counts conducted in July 2018), the existing
land use mix, and each of the two future Scenarios 1 and 2 would be adequately
served by the 125-space supply for the 2200 PCH Building.

Dear Mr. Iside:
I represent 2200 Associates, LLC, the owners of 2200 Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), Hermosa Beach,
90254. There is currently in effect a recorded reciprocal parking easement between 2200 PCH and
2420 PCH, which is owned by International Church of the Four Square Gospel (Hope Chapel). The
parking easement permits 2200 PCH to use up to 40 parking stalls in the southern half of the parking
lot at 2420 PCH on Mondays through Fridays, from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. The easement permits 2420
PCH to use up to 40 parking stalls at 2200 PCH from 6:00 PM on Fridays to 12:00 AM on Sundays.
2200 Associates, LLC, has applied to the City of Hermosa Beach (City) for approval of a Parking Plan
governing the site at 2200 PCH. The application constitutes a request for the City to formally
recognize use of the shared parking by 2200 PCH on the lot at 2420 PCH, as set forth in the recorded
parking easement. The purpose of this email is to obtain affirmative confirmation that the owner of
2420 PCH is aware of the pending Parking Plan application. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate if
you would respond to this message, acknowledging receipt.
This will not be the only notice that is provided. Prior to any hearing on the Parking Plan, properties
within 500 feet of 2200 PCH will receive notice from the City of the hearing.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,

Re: 2200 Pacific Coast Highway / Application for Approval of Parking Plan 20-4 (PARK 20-4)
Dear Ms. Ellis:
Thank you for your ongoing review of this application. We appreciate your willingness to go
forward in scheduling the application for hearing as we resolve the remaining questions about the
application.
You requested clarification of certain inconsistencies between the application materials and the
Parking Analysis for the subject site that was prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan, dated October
19, 2018. In preparing the application materials, we have presented area calculations and occupancy
statistics that we can document, based on a new foot survey of the parking lots, the most recent floorplan
survey, and the most recent tenant roster. Therefore, in some cases, our information varied from that in
the Parking Analysis, as described below.
1. The Parking Analysis lists 85 parking spaces on site, with a total 125 spaces, while the
application materials list 86, and a total of 126.
The Parking Analysis lists 19 parking spaces on the surface parking lot/deck and 18 spaces in the
west subterranean parking garage. These counts are consistent with the current parking survey.
The Parking Analysis lists 2 spaces in tandem on one of the project driveways. Both the current
parking survey and the original site plans show 4 tandem parking spaces in that area (adjacent to the
entrance to the west subterranean garage). It is not clear where these two spaces were omitted because
they were not considered 4 separate spaces.
In sum, the Parking Analysis identified one extra parking space in the subterranean garage and
only two of the four tandem parking spaces.
did not recognize two surface tandem spaces. Therefore, the Parking Analysis identified one
fewer spaces than currently exist on the site.
2 The Percentages and square footages of uses between Parking Analysis and application
materials do not match.
3. There is a 1,932 sq. ft. difference between building square footages. Please clarify.
116
2
The Parking Analysis assumes a gross floor area of 27,406 sq. ft. This figure appears to come
from the original project summary for the building, and reflects the “net building area”. Also reflected
in the project summary was a gross building area of 30,692 square feet.
For purposes of this parking plan application, we used recent surveys of the building, which may
be more accurate than the ones from 1981. In addition, the relevant measure of building square footage
for purposes of this application is “gross floor area”, not net floor area”. According to a floor plan
survey prepared by Lasertech in July 2017 (Attachment 2 of the application), the gross building area is
30,693, and the gross floor area is 29,338 sq. ft. We calculated the gross floor area by totaling the gross
floor area of each office and adding the gross floor area of all common restroom. (see Attachment 1,
tenant roster table). We then matched up the square footage of each office with its tenant and identified
whether the tenant’s business is a medical use or a non-medical use, based on whether services were
provided by Medical Doctor.
We did not rely on the name of the business in determining whether it was a medical use. For
instance, we classified the Wellness Institute of Southern California (Suite 217) as a medical use,
because it provides services from Medical Doctors. The other two offices we identified as medical uses
also provided services from Medical Doctors: Kelly Waggoner and Michele Blume (Suite 215) and
Alann Dingle, Jacqueline Mills, and Elizabeth Cowart (Suite 218). We therefore identified current
medical office use as follows:
Medical
1147.8 sq. ft. Wellness Institute of Southern California
753.9 sq. ft. Kelly Waggoner and Michele Blume
855.1 sq. ft. Alann Dingle, Jacqueline Mills, and Elizabeth Cowart
2,756 sq. ft. or 9.3% Medical Office Use
4. It is not clear based on the use classifications in the 2018 Parking Analysis if there were any
medical clinics, possibly identified as the wellness center or acupuncture?
We classified all uses not involving a Medical Doctor as non-medical (or general office) use.
Non-medical uses (general office) included psychologists, wellness practitioners, and message
therapy/acupuncture. We are not aware of whether the Parking Analysis classified offices based on the
presence of a Medial Doctor.
5. For parking purposes, general office, massage and therapy are all considered the same at 1:250
so should be grouped together.
For purposes of our analysis, we grouped general office, massage and therapy together, with a
corresponding parking ratio of 1:250 sq. ft.
6. Please also revise the application narrative which discusses mezzanines not counting towards
floor area since mezzanines do count towards floor area for parking purposes and is therefore
not a valid position.
Attached please find a revised project narrative that omits the discussion of mezzanines. It also
contains a correction to the tenant roster table, which identified Suite 214 as a medical office, when it
should identify Suite 215.
Sincerely,
117

REPORT 20-0731
Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of November 17, 2020
TA 20-3 - Consideration of to Section 17.42.190 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code regarding the
City’s Limited Live Entertainment Permit pilot program, and determination that the project is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Applicant: City of Hermosa Beach
Recommended Action:
Conduct public hearing and adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council approve
Text Amendment 20-3 to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Chapter 17.42, Section 17.42.190, to
continue the City’s Limited Live Entertainment Pilot Program for two additional years, and
determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Summary:
The proposed text amendments will continue the Limited Live Entertainment Pilot Program for two
additional years, for a total of four years from the ordinance effective date on December 13, 2018 and
will slightly modify the Standards and Limitations to allow for minor temporary floor plan changes with
approval of the Community Development Director.
Background:
The initial request for a Short-Term Entertainment Permit (STEP) was proposed by local advocacy
group, THRIVE Hermosa. The stated goal was for a simple, inexpensive permit to allow low impact,
family-friendly entertainment in order to increase business during off-peak hours in all commercial
zones.
At the June 25, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, staff presented a report that summarized a
proposal prepared by THRIVE Hermosa that would allow local commercial businesses to offer low
impact entertainment options such as games, acoustic music and open mic during “off-peak hours”
without requiring the business operators to have to go through a time-consuming and more
expensive approval process such as the existing Temporary Minor Special Event Permit and/or the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Representatives of THRIVE Hermosa addressed the
Commission and answered several questions by the Planning Commission. At the conclusion of the
meeting, the Planning Commission directed staff to present a conceptual overview to allow a short
term, low impact entertainment option for businesses through an easy, cost effective permit process.

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0731
At the August 21, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, staff presented possible amendments to the
Zoning Code that would allow Limited Live Entertainment Permits for local businesses seeking to add
low impact entertainment. The Planning Commission conceptually agreed with a proposed new
definition of “Entertainment, Limited Live” as an accessory use to be a simple, low cost permit with
standards and conditions limiting number of performers, defined hours and noise minimizing criteria.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Planning Commission directed staff to set a Public Hearing to
consider a Zone Text Amendment for a new Limited Live Entertainment Permit for recommendation
to the City Council.
At the September 18, 2018 meeting, the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing and considered
TA 18-2 Text Amendment to add a short term and low impact entertainment option as an accessory
use to businesses located in the City’s commercial zones through a simple and cost effective
permitting process, including proposed definitions and standards for proposed Limited Live
Entertainment Permit, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act. The Planning Commission recommended approval of a Limited Live
Entertainment Permit through adoption of Resolution 18-25, and requested Planning Commission
review of Limited Live Entertainment Permit after 18 months.
At its October 23, 2018 meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance 18-1388
For TA 18-2 Text Amendments to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Title 17 Regarding Definitions
and Standards for Live Entertainment and Limited Live Entertainment for the purpose of adding a low
impact entertainment option as an accessory use to business in commercial zones, as recommended
by the Planning Commission.
On November 13, 2018, the City Council conducted a second reading of the ordinance and adopted
a resolution establishing the fee at $250. The fee was adjusted with the City’s Fee Schedule effective
December 1, 2019 for Limited Live Entertainment Permit and is currently $257.
On October 20, 2020, the Planning Commission reviewed the Limited Live Entertainment Permit Pilot
program and provided direction to extend the program for two more years.
Since implementation of the Limited Live Entertainment Pilot Program, only one Limited Live
Entertainment Permit was issued to The Deck located at 1272 The Strand on June 12, 2019.

As discussed in the Staff Report and at the Planning Commission meeting held October 20, 2020,
only one Limited Live Entertainment Permit has been issued. There were other permit inquiries, but
requests to alter existing, approved, floorplans were seen as a deterrent to potential permit issuance.
The following text amendment is recommended to encourage more business applications for a
Limited Live Entertainment Permit.

Entertainment on September 18, 2018, is shown below.

The proposed text amendment allows for minor temporary floor plan changes upon approval of the
Community Development Director. The proposed text to be added is indicated in the Zoning Code in
italics below.

Staff has prepared a resolution for Planning Commission consideration to provide recommendations
to the City Council regarding the Limited Live Entertainment Permit text amendments.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa (the City’s combined General Plan and Local Coastal Program) was adopted in
August 2017. The Text Amendment is consistent with the PLAN Hermosa vision to support our
vibrant local economy and the Land Use policies:
·LU 1.4 Diverse Commercial Areas. Promote the development of diversified and unique
commercial districts with locally owned businesses and job- or revenue-generating uses.
·LU 1.7 Compatibility of Uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or
exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses.
·LU 2.9 Neighborhood-serving retail. Support the retention of existing neighborhood-serving
retail and services in key locations throughout the city.
·LU 3.3 Diverse retail and office centers. Provide incentives to transform existing single-use
commercial properties that are accessible into retail destinations by adding a diversity of uses,
providing new pedestrian connections to adjacent residential areas, reducing the visual
prominence of parking lots, making the centers more pedestrian-friendly and enhancing the
definition and character of street frontage and associated streetscapes.
Environmental Analysis:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California
Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), because CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects
proposed to be carried out or approved by public agencies. The project is statutorily exempt from
CEQA in that it allows for approval of limited events within approved businesses only. Additionally,
the zone text changes are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061 states that CEQA applies
only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No
possibility exists that the proposed zone text amendments will have a significant effect on the

RESOLUTION P.C. 20-XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
TEXT AMENDMENTS TO MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 17.42.190 FOR
LIMITED LIVE ENTERTAINMENT PILOT PROGRAM, AND
DETERMINING THAT THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on
November 17, 2020 consider a text amendment to Municipal Code Title Section
17.42.190, as described in the proposed ordinance attached as Exhibit A.
SECTION 2. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), because
CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects proposed to be carried out or approved by
public agencies. The project is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it allows for
approval of limited live entertainment within approved businesses only. Additionally, the
zone text changes are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061 states
that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect
on the environment. No possibility exists that the proposed zone text amendments will
have a significant effect on the environment because the zone text amendments include
standards for limited live entertainment permits.
SECTION 3. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed amendments to
the Municipal Code to allow Limited Live Entertainment are consistent with the City’s
General Plan vision to support the vibrant local economy and Land Use Policy 1.4 for
Diverse Commercial Areas. The ordinance also furthers the general purpose of the
zoning ordinance to address and review standards and criteria to assure compatibility as
accessory uses within existing businesses. The amendments will not impede the City’s
ability to meet its General Plan goals, and the amendments are necessary to carry out the
purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, including the orderly planned use of land resources.

REPORT 20-0727
Honorable Chair and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of November 17, 2020
Planning Commission review and consideration of initiation of text amendments to Section 17.08.020
of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code regarding “Home Occupations” (home-based businesses) in
residential zones.
Applicant: City of Hermosa Beach
Recommended Action:
1.Review Section 17.08.020 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code regarding “Home
Occupations” (home-based businesses) in residential zones;
2.Consider focused amendments or a comprehensive update, working with the City Attorney for
consideration at a future Planning Commission meeting; and
3.If desired, set a public hearing to consider Text Amendments for Planning Commission to
recommend to the City Council regarding “Home Occupations” (home-based businesses).
Background:
Home-based businesses are permitted in residential zones subject to strict requirements stated in the
Zoning Code Section 17.08.020. Home Occupation Permits are business licenses reviewed and
approved by the Planning Division of the Community Development Department prior to issuance and
renewal annually by the Finance Department.
Section 17.08.020 of the Zoning Code pertains to Permitted Uses in the R-1 zone. Other residential
zones refer to this section of the code for permitted uses, which include Home Occupations for home-
based businesses.
There have been significant increases in home-based workers due to pandemic related office
closures and technological advances. Many workers are expected to continue to work from home in
the future, either part time or full time. Some Hermosa Beach businesses have experienced
additional daytime customers due to the many residents working from home.
For independent professionals, the current code regulating home-based businesses may not meet
the needs of home-based business owners.

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0727
Analysis:
Professional Offices
The Code appears to be outdated for modern work from home practices for professionals.
Professional offices can implement operational practices such as virtual meetings with clients and
review paperwork digitally.
The City has received Home Occupation Business License applications for professionals, including a
law corporation, real estate business, and a child psychologist. These home-based businesses were
unable to meet the code requirement of Section 17.08.020.D.14. This section could be deleted or
modified to allow professionals to obtain Home Occupation Business Licenses without a separate
principal licensed office.
17.08.020 Permitted uses
D. Home Occupations.
14. No professional offices are allowed, specifically including but not limited to the healing arts,
law, accounting, real estate, clergy, insurance and similar professional or semi-professional
offices, unless the person engaged in such home occupation maintains a principal licensed
office in an area permitting such activity as a principal use.
Noise Limits,
With increasing work from home trends, the existing home-based business noise language may not
be adequate to protect nearby residents in code requirement of Section 17.08.020.D.9.
9. No tools or equipment may be operated which make a sound audible from without the
premises at a distance of twenty (20) feet from the property line, between the hours of 6:00
p.m. and 9:00 a.m. No activity or equipment which makes any loud or whining noise
discernible from without the premises is permitted at any time.
It may be appropriate to amend this section to reference the noise ordinance similar to standard
condition of approval for other applications:
Noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City's Noise
Ordinance (Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 8.24)and shall not create a nuisance to
surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Traffic Generation
The language specifically includes tutors and day care centers as approved by the planning director.
It is recommended that the code be amended to exclude specific uses in Section 17.08.020.D.11.
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 4

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0727
11. No foot or vehicle traffic may be generated to or from the premises except for traditional
uses such as tutors and day care centers as approved by the planning director.
It may be appropriate to amend this section to include a more general traffic limitation, such as is
used in other city codes, such as:
A home occupation shall not create pedestrian, automobile, or truck traffic significantly in
excess of the normal amount in the neighborhood.
Advertising
The Code appears to be outdated regarding types of listings not including internet in Section
17.08.020.D.15.
15. No listing or advertising of the address of such home occupation for business purposes is
permitted including display ads in telephone, business and city directories and in newspapers
and magazines. The telephone number and address may be listed on business cards.
It may be appropriate to amend the types of listing to include internet advertising or to delete this
section entirely since the intention of advertising regulations is to limit traffic, such as discussed
above in Section 17.08.020.D.11.
Other City Examples
Additional limitations may be appropriate such as the following code sections from other cities:
Manhattan Beach
1.No one other than a resident of the dwelling shall be employed on-site or report to work at the
site in the conduct of a home occupation. This prohibition also applies to independent
contractors.
2.No motor vehicle repair, beauty shop or barber shop shall be permitted, and a home
occupation shall not include an office or sales room open to visitors.
Newport Beach
1.This section provides standards for the conduct of home occupations as an accessory use to
ensure compatibility with the residential character of the neighborhoods where located and to
prevent disturbances or annoyances to any reasonable person of normal sensitivity residing in
the area.
2. A home occupation use shall be conducted in the principal dwelling unit; shall be excluded
from a setback area, yard or accessory structure; and shall be clearly incidental and
subordinate to the principal residential use.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa (the City’s combined General Plan and Local Coastal Program) was adopted in
