Applicant/Owner:Arianpour Hassan and Mary C, Trustees Arianpour Trust C/O Bryan Arianpour 5315 Clearsite Street Torrance, CA 90505 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82373 for a two-unit detached condominium project at 421 Monterey Boulevard, subject to conditions, and determining the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: GENERAL PLAN:High Density Residential (HD) ZONING:Multiple Family Residential (R-3) LOT SIZE:3,001 sq. ft. PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE:Unit 1: 2,761 sq. ft. Unit 2: 2,438 sq. ft. PARKING REQUIRED:4 Standard/1 Guest PARKING PROVIDED:4 Standard/1 Guest (shared) ON STREET PARKING LOST/GAINED:0 Lost/0 Gain on-street parking spaces ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt, CEQA Section 15303(b) (Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) The subject site is located at the southern portion of the City on the west side of Monterey Boulevard, between 4th Street and 6th Street. The 3,001 square foot lot contains a legal-nonconforming triplex with no existing curb cut for parking access on Monterey Boulevard. There is an existing established 5-foot sidewalk on Monterey Boulevard. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 1 of 7 powered by Legistar™19 Staff Report REPORT 19-0619 Parking for the existing two-story triplex is accessed from Bayview Drive leading into a single-car garage and concrete pad that can accommodate two off-street parking spaces. There are two existing on-street public parking spaces along Monterey Boulevard in front of the subject site because there is no existing curb cut. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing triplex and construct two detached residential condominium units on the subject site. The proposal is to provide parking access from the alley on Bayview Drive through a shared driveway for the two units; as a result, there is no loss or gain of on-street parking spaces on Monterey Boulevard. Unit 1 is a five level structure that will contain a media room in the sub-basement floor level; a two- car garage on the basement level; three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor; dining room, kitchen, living room, powder room, and a balcony on the second floor; a family room and a deck on the third floor. Unit 2 is a four level structure that will contain a media room in the basement level; a two-car garage on the first floor; three bedrooms and two bathrooms, dining room on the second floor, kitchen, living room, powder room, and two balconies on the third floor; and a roof deck above the living room on the second floor. The architectural style of both units are contemporary with exterior treatments of Avenue Grey Texture and City Cube Nature tile veneers, Milky Quartz colored smooth stucco, jet black colored exterior trims, and dark bronze window frames. 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 City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™20 Staff Report REPORT 19-0619 a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Basic Zoning Standards: The project complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including the R-3 zone and design standards for condominiums in HBMC Section 17.22.

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) have been submitted and will be reviewed by City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™21 Staff Report REPORT 19-0619 Planning Division for compliance with applicable sections of the zoning ordinance and this entitlement, should the Planning Commission approve. The Unit 1 third floor deck measures 558 sq. ft. and is accessed from the third floor level. The deck is located three steps higher than the third floor family room level. The City defines “roof deck” as walkable or otherwise usable open space area located above the roof framing of the building where the only access is from the floors below. The proposed deck is located above the roof of the second floor level below. However, there is not exclusive access to the deck from the floor level below. Instead, the deck is accessed from the third floor family room and is therefore not considered a roof deck. For that reason, the entire 558 square foot deck contributes to open space as opposed to roof decks which are limited to 100 sq. ft. in area contributing towards open space. Access and Parking: Access to the on-site parking is provided through a shared driveway that is located on the north side of Unit 2. The proposed driveway design profiles include a driveway slope of 5.8%, well within the maximum allowed slope of 12.5%. Since the proposed vehicle access is on Bayview Drive, the provision of the proposed on-site parking will not reduce the existing on-street parking spaces. 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 Fortnight Lily. In addition, the landscape plan will include one 24-inch box Queen Palm tree to be located with the front yard area on the subject site fronting Monterey Boulevard. In addition, the applicant will provide a 24- inch box Queen Palm tree, which is listed on the Public Works Department’s Approved Tree List, to be located on the City’s public right-of-way fronting Monterey Boulevard. Staff is recommending a condition of approval to ensure that all planting materials and trees comply with HBMC Section 8.60, Water Efficient Landscaping. The landscape plan shows that catch basins with sump pumps will be provided on-site and an automatic irrigation system with a moisture sensor is proposed for the landscaped areas. The project must comply with Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control Regulations. Additionally, 65% of demolition debris must be recycled, and cement used in foundation mix design must be reduced by not less than 20%, among other requirements. Hermosa Beach’s Electrical Code (Section 15.32) requires installation of conduit sized to accommodate solar energy and solar thermal systems. Compatibility with surrounding area: The subject site is zoned R-3 Multiple Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, west, and south; R-3PD Multiple Family Planned Development to the east of the subject City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 4 of 7 powered by Legistar™22 Staff Report REPORT 19-0619 site. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi- story, multi-family residences and single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood because the multiple-family residential buildings have a mixture of entryways from both Monterey Boulevard and Bayview Drive. Unit 1 will have a main entryway to the building adjacent to the sidewalk on Monterey Boulevard. Unit 2 will have a main entryway from Bayview Drive. The two-unit condominium is detached to avoid the long-row appearance and provides balconies facing Monterey Boulevard and Bayview Drive. Subdivision Map: The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82373. 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 substandard lot, which can be retained and developed. The lot is substandard due to the lot size being less than 4,000 sq. ft. in area and the lot width being less than 40 feet. The R-3 zone requires a minimum lot size of 1,320 square feet per unit; thus allowing a maximum of two dwelling units on the 3,001 square foot lot. The lot size exceeds prevailing lot sizes, 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 a High Density Residential (HD) General Plan Land Use designation, the purpose of which is to provide a range of residential housing types to serve the varying living accommodation needs and desire of the community. The intent of this designation is to preserve and contribute to the inventory of diverse housing types available to residents and offer alternatives to single-family residential development. This designation allows for a City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 5 of 7 powered by Legistar™23 Staff Report REPORT 19-0619 variety of high-density building types and development patterns. The subject site is located within the Sand Section Neighborhood character area as indicated in the City’s General Plan, which can accommodate a range of residential development types. The future vision for this character area is to preserve the building form, scale, and orientation in the neighborhood. The desired design for the public realm within the Sand Section Neighborhood is to provide rear-accessed parking to minimize curb cuts on the street, which helps to maintain the public parking supply and to preserve the sidewalks and the pedestrian environment. The proposed two-unit development will be consistent in that it will contribute to the residential neighborhood as a multi- family development and meets the intention of the Sand Section Neighborhood character area. The proposed design features implement the following PLAN Hermosa goals and policies in the Land Use policies 1.6 Scale and Context., 2.1 Complete Neighborhoods, 2.3 Balanced Neighborhoods, 2.5 Neighborhood Preservation, 5.1 Scale and Massing, 6.7 Pedestrian Orientated Design, and 6.9 Shared Driveways. The proposed design of the detached two-unit development is consistent with same aspects of the desired building form and character of the Sand Section character area with articulation of the front building façade (front elevation from Monterey Boulevard) rather than a garage. In addition, the front building also provides a five-foot minimum required front yard setback, which is consistent with a majority of the existing residential buildings on that block. Another building design element that is consistent with the desired form and character is the front building facade that incorporates two balconies to eliminate the flat and box-like building. The existing residential buildings also have similar designs that incorporate balconies facing Monterey Boulevard to create articulation of the front building façade. The proposed parking access for both units will be accessed from a shared driveway from the alley (Bayview Drive), which supports frontages that are pedestrian-oriented and active by maintaining the five-foot sidewalk on Monterey Boulevard and eliminates a creation of a new curb cut on along Monterey Boulevard. Perfect consistency is not required with all General Plan policies. Consistency means that the project does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals. The proposed uses are in line with the City’s long-term vision set out in the General Plan and the overall project does not impede the City’s ability to meet its goals Summary: The project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map as conditioned are consistent with the zoning code, subdivision laws and other relevant provisions of the Municipal Code, and the site is physically suitable for the type and density of proposed development. Therefore, staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #82373 for a two-unit detached condominium project at 421 Monterey City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 6 of 7 powered by Legistar™24 Staff Report REPORT 19-0619 Boulevard, and determining the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Resolution 19-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND VESTING TENATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 82373 FOR A TWO-UNIT DETACHED CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 421 MONTEREY BOULEVARD, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS TRACT NO 1074, LOT 31, CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH AND DETERMINING THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed on June 6, 2019 by the property owner/applicant Bryan Arianpour, for development of property located at 421 Monterey Boulevard, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 19-3, Precise Development Plan 19-6, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82373 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 17, 2019, 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 totaling no more than six dwelling units. Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the California Government Code Section 66474 and Section 16.08.060 of the Municipal Code. 1. The proposal is generally consistent with the General Plan in that it does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals with regard to the High Density (HD) Residential designation that allows for multiple dwellings. The proposal meets the High Density designation because it will provide two-units on a 3,001 square foot lot. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with applicable development standards set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) for the R-3 zone. 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 four on-site parking spaces located within garages and one shared guest parking space for both units. This development complies with all development standards and does not require approval of a deviation. 26 2 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 and alley, will provide vehicular access from Bayview Drive 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, the prevailing 3,000 square foot lot sizes, and prevailing 30’ lot frontage 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 single-and multi- family residences. 7. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303(b) since the project is construction of 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 Permit and Precise Development Plan pursuant to Sections 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code. 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects; The subject site is zoned R-3 Multiple Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, west, and south; R-3PD Multiple Family Planned Development to the 27 3 east 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 and 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 north side of the subject site from the Bayview Drive leading to two two-car garages located at the center of the lot, which provides a total of four off-street parking spaces on-site. In addition, the proposed on-site shared guest parking space will be provided at the northwest portion of the subject site, adjacent to Unit 1. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility; The proposed two-unit detached residential use is consistent and compatible because the immediate neighborhood includes both single-family and multi-family residences. 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 reduce traffic volume generated from the project site and will have a lower impact than the existing use because the proposal will eliminate one unit from the project site. Monterey Boulevard is designated in the General Plan as a local street, and has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development and surrounding neighborhood. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; The proposed two-unit condominium will not have signs, thus will not be incompatible with the area. Nevertheless, it is important to consider the architectural style (décor) as part of this approval. The applicant is proposing to use 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 establishments 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 Sand Section character area with articulation of the front building façade (front elevation from Monterey Boulevard) rather than a garage. In addition, the front building also provides a five-foot minimum required front yard setback, which is consistent with a majority of the existing residential buildings on that block. Another building design element that is consistent with the desired form and character is the front building facade that incorporates two balconies to eliminate the flat and box-like building. The existing residential buildings also have similar designs that incorporate balconies facing Monterey Boulevard to create articulation of the front building façade. The 28 4 proposed parking access for both units will be accessed from the alley (Bayview Drive), which supports frontages that are pedestrian-orientated and active by maintaining the five- foot sidewalk on Monterey Boulevard. Vehicular access is provided from a shared driveway located on the north side of the subject site from the Bayview Drive leading to two two-car garages located at the center of the lot and one shared guest parking space, with a total of five off-street parking spaces on the subject site. The five-foot sidewalk width on Monterey Boulevard will be maintained for pedestrian access because the parking access is from the alley. There are no other nearby sensitive uses such as schools, churches, hospitals or playgrounds. 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 be less demand on the current infrastructure and services because the proposal will eliminate one unit 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 19-3 Precise Development Plan 19-6, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82373 for a two-unit detached condominium subject to the following Conditions of Approval: General: 29 5 1.

Applicant:John Musolino Musolino Architecture 409 N. Pacific Coast Highway #529 Redondo Beach, CA 90277 Owner:Ed Franowicz and Larissa Gallagher 40 Hermosa Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving Precise Development Plan Amendment 19-10 to expand an existing 238 square-foot roof deck,by 510 square feet,totaling 748 square feet at one of the three (northernmost)residential condominium units below the 30-foot height limit at a mixed use building at 40 Hermosa Avenue,and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: ZONING:Neighborhood Commercial Zone (C-1) GENERAL PLAN:Neighborhood Commercial Zone (NC) USES EXISTING/PROPOSED:Mixed Use three residential condo units above three commercial tenant spaces/ no change LOT SIZE:7,200 sq. ft. BUILDING AREA:13,890 sq. ft. (no change) BUILDING HT EXISTING/ PROPOSED:30-foot/ < 30 feet at top of new roof deck guardrail ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt; Section 15301(a) The subject site at 40 Hermosa Avenue is located at the south end of Hermosa Beach and on the northeast corner of Hermosa Avenue and Lyndon Street.The site is located within the Neighborhood City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™65 Staff Report REPORT 19-0613 northeast corner of Hermosa Avenue and Lyndon Street.The site is located within the Neighborhood Commercial Zone (C-1)zoning district with a Neighborhood Commercial Zone (NC)General Plan land use designation.The 7,200 sq.ft.lot is improved with a three-story mixed use building, containing three residential condominium units on the upper floors and a ground floor commercial use.17 parking spaces are provided for the mixture of uses which are accessed from the alley to the east, Palm Drive. Directly to the north of the subject site is a C-1 zoned lot containing five legal non-conforming residential units,to the east and across Palm Drive are two residential condominiums within the Residential Professional (R-P)zone,to the south across Lyndon Street are four legal non-conforming residential units in the C-1 zone,and to the west across Hermosa Avenue are a mixture of single and multiple family homes in the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)zone.Commercial uses in the vicinity consist of a convenience market,restaurants and offices.Surrounding uses are predominantly multiple-family and single-family homes. Analysis: Precise Development Plan The purpose of the C-1 zone is “to provide sites for a mix of small local businesses appropriate for, and serving the daily needs of nearby residential neighborhoods;while establishing land use regulations that prevent significant adverse effects on abutting residential uses.Residential uses above ground floor commercial uses are permitted with approval of a conditional use permit in the C- 1 zone” (HBMC Section 17.26.020.B.). As specified in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC)Section 17.58,“the purpose and intent of requiring a Precise Development Plan (PDP)review for development projects is to achieve a reasonable level of quality,compatibility,in harmony with the community’s social,economic and environmental objectives,and to protect existing and potential developments,and uses on adjacent and surrounding property.”On a case-by-case basis,the Planning Commission may impose standards above the minimums designated by the HBMC to improve the quality of development and to mitigate any environmental impacts.HBMC Section 17.26 provides standards and limitations for development within the C-1 zone. The subject site is currently governed by a CUP and PDP from 2004 (PC Reso.04-14)approving the mixed use project in addition to a PDP Amendment in 2007 (PC Reso.07-24)approving architectural modifications.Modifications to the original plans reviewed and approved by the Commission require an amendment to the previous PDP. In considering a PDP for any development,the following criteria for granting or conditionally granting said permit shall be considered: 1.Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects:Directly to the north of the subject site is a C-1 zoned lot containing five legal non-conforming residential units,to the east and across Palm Drive are two residential condominiums within the Residential Professional (R-P) zone,to the south across Lyndon Street are four legal non-conforming residential units in the C-1 zone,and to the west across Hermosa Avenue are a mixture of single and multiple family homes in the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)zone.The enlarged roof deck will be utilized exclusively by the City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™66 Staff Report REPORT 19-0613 the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)zone.The enlarged roof deck will be utilized exclusively by the condominium owners to expand their outdoor living area.Therefore,negative impacts to existing residential uses on-site and in the surrounding area are not anticipated. 2.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need:The mixed use project approved by the Planning Commission in 2004 required 17 parking spaces for the mixture of uses.Nine parking spaces are required for the commercial use(s)and eight spaces are required for the three residential units (six standard and two guest spaces).No additional parking spaces are required for the roof deck expansion and parking spaces will not be altered as part of this request. 3.The combination of uses proposed,as they relate to compatibility:The subject site currently contains a three-story mixed-use building with three residential units on the upper floors and a ground floor commercial use.The existing use mixture will remain and the project is limited to a roof deck expansion.Therefore,adverse impacts are not anticipated because there will be no change to the current number of residential units or ground floor commercial use. 4.The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area:The project will not impact traffic volume or the capacity or safety of streets serving the area as the project is limited to a roof deck expansion at an existing residential condominium unit.Therefore,adverse impacts are not anticipated because the enlarged roof deck will be utilized exclusively by the condominium owners to expand their outdoor living area and the number of occupants will remain the same.Therefore,the project will not generate additional traffic volume or alter the capacity and safety of streets serving the area. 5.The proposed exterior signs and decor,and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area:The existing building was approved for architectural modifications in 2007 which included design elements such as metal guardrails,clear window and door glazing, aluminum mullions,paint,and steel canopies.There will be no changes to the east building elevation where the existing 238 square foot roof deck and solid 3’9”guardrail will remain unchanged.There will be visible alterations to the north,west and south building elevations where a 1’6”high glass topper rail will be installed atop the existing 2’solid parapet wall.The extended roof deck will match the height of the existing roof deck guardrail.The glass guardrail matches and is compatible with the existing building design. Therefore,the design of the roof deck extension is compatible with the existing building design and is compatible with development in the surrounding area which have similar development standards (including building height) and provide similar roof decks. 6.Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses,e.g.,residences and schools:In the C-1 zone and surrounding R-3 zoned properties,any building may have a maximum height of thirty (30)feet.The proposed roof deck guardrail complies with the 30-foot building height limit.In addition,many residences in Hermosa Beach are designed with roof decks to take advantage of ocean views and optimize open space area.The subject site does not directly abut residentially zoned property therefore no setbacks are required along the front,side or rear property lines.The expanded roof deck will exceed code requirements and will be located approximately 7’6”back from the front property line (along Hermosa Avenue)and will be located approximately 5 feet back fromCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™67 Staff Report REPORT 19-0613 the front property line (along Hermosa Avenue)and will be located approximately 5 feet back from the north property line.The south roof deck guardrail will be located adjacent to the neighboring unit’s roof.No impacts are anticipated because the proposed roof deck expansion will not result in modifications to existing driveway orientation,the roof deck guardrail complies with the 30-foot building height limit and the roof deck will be setback from the front (west)and side (north)property lines beyond what the code requires. 7.Noise,odor,dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use:The temporary noise generated during the construction period will result in increased noise levels as customary with residential construction.All construction activities must comply with the City’s hours of construction and dust abatement regulations.Construction must conform to the Noise Control Ordinance requirements in HBMC Section 8.24.050.Allowed hours of construction must be printed on the building plans and posted at construction site.As an added precautionary measure,staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring that prior to issuance of a Building Permit,abutting property owners and residents within 100 feet of the project site shall be notified of the anticipated date for commencement of construction. Therefore,adverse impacts are not anticipated due to increased noise levels being temporary during construction and there being no long-term ambient noise impacts resulting from the roof deck expansion. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services: The proposed roof deck expansion will not impact the City’s infrastructure or services because the existing residence is currently serviced by City infrastructure and there will be no alterations to the residence. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: Mitigation measures are not required as the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301(a)Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility and involves only minor alterations of the interior/exterior. 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. Environmental Determination: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301 (a)Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility and involves only minor alterations of the interior/exterior. General Plan Consistency: The establishment is located within the Neighborhood Commercial (NC)General Plan land use area and within the Sand Section Neighborhood,where the building design and orientation is encouraged to avoid flat,box-like facades.Greater articulation and stepbacks are encouraged.Front,side,and rear setbacks in this area are narrow,with many older buildings developed up to the sidewalk.This project has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan and the expanded roof deck will be stepped back approximately 7’6”from the front property line helping to avoid flat,box-like facades Summary: Based on the analysis above,staff finds that the Precise Development Plan Amendment 19-10 to expand an existing 238 square foot roof deck by 510 square feet totaling 748 square feet at one of the three residential condominium units below the 30-foot height limit at a mixed use building at 40 Hermosa Avenue,as conditioned,is consistent with applicable City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 4 of 5 powered by Legistar™68 Staff Report REPORT 19-0613 the 30-foot height limit at a mixed use building at 40 Hermosa Avenue,as conditioned,is consistent with applicable sections of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and PLAN Hermosa.Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the PDP Amendment and determining that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.

RESOLUTION 19-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT 19-10 TO EXPAND AN EXISTING 238 SQUARE FOOT ROOF DECK BY 510 SQUARE FEET TOTALING 748 SQUARE FEET AT ONE OF THE THREE RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM UNITS BELOW THE 30-FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT AT A MIXED USE BUILDING AT 40 HERMOSA AVENUE, AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Musolino Architecture, for a Precise Development Plan Amendment 19-10 to expand an existing 238 square foot roof deck by 510 square feet totaling 748 square feet at one of the three (northernmost) residential condominium units below the 30-foot height limit at a mixed use building at 40 Hermosa Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on September 17, 2019, at which time testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301(a) Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility and involves only minor alterations of the interior and exterior. The existing 238 square foot roof deck will be expanded by 510 square feet totaling 748 square feet below the 30-foot height limit. Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for the Precise Development Plan Amendment pursuant to the criteria in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.58.030: HBMC Section 17.58.030 Precise Development Plan general criteria for all uses: 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects: Directly to the north of the subject site is a C-1 zoned lot containing five legal non-conforming residential units, to the east and across Palm Drive are two residential condominiums within the Residential Professional (R-P) zone, to the south across Lyndon Street are four legal non-conforming residential units in the C-1 zone, and to the west across Hermosa Avenue are a mixture of single and multiple family homes in the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) zone. The enlarged roof deck will be utilized 70 Page 2- PDP Amendment 19-10 exclusively by the condominium owners to expand their outdoor living area. Therefore, negative impacts to existing residential uses on-site and in the surrounding area are not anticipated. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need: The mixed use project approved by the Planning Commission in 2004 required 17 parking spaces for the mixture of uses. Nine parking spaces are required for the commercial use(s) and eight spaces are required for the three residential units (six standard and two guest spaces). No additional parking spaces are required for the roof deck expansion and parking spaces will not be altered as part of this request. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility: The subject site currently contains a three-story mixed-use building with three residential units on the upper floors and a ground floor commercial use. The existing use mixture will remain and the project is limited to a roof deck expansion. Therefore, adverse impacts are not anticipated because there will be no change to the current number of residential units or ground floor commercial use. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area: The project will not impact traffic volume or the capacity or safety of streets serving the area as the project is limited to a roof deck expansion at an existing residential condominium unit. Therefore, adverse impacts are not anticipated because the enlarged roof deck will be utilized exclusively by the condominium owners to expand their outdoor living area and the number of occupants will remain the same. Therefore, the project will not generate additional traffic volume or alter the capacity and safety of streets serving the area. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The existing building was approved for architectural modifications in 2007 which included design elements such as metal guardrails, clear window and door glazing, aluminum mullions, paint, and steel canopies. There will be no changes to the east building elevation where the existing 238 square foot roof deck and solid 3’9” guardrail will remain unchanged. There will be visible alterations to the north, west and south building elevations where a 1’6” high glass topper rail will be installed atop the existing 2’ solid parapet wall. The extended roof deck will match the height of the existing roof deck guardrail. The glass guardrail matches and is compatible with the existing building design. Therefore, the design of the roof deck extension is compatible with the existing building design and is compatible with development in the surrounding area which have similar development standards (including building height) and provide similar roof decks. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools: In the C-1 zone and surrounding R-3 zoned properties, any building may have a maximum height of thirty (30) feet. The proposed roof deck guardrail complies with the 30-foot building height limit. In addition, many residences in Hermosa Beach are designed with roof decks to take advantage of ocean views and optimize open space area. The subject site does not directly abut residentially zoned property therefore no setbacks are required along the front, side or rear property lines. The expanded roof deck will exceed code requirements and will be located approximately 7’6” back from the front property line (along Hermosa Avenue) and will be located approximately 5 feet back from the north property line. The south roof deck guardrail 71 Page 3- PDP Amendment 19-10 will be located adjacent to the neighboring unit’s roof. No impacts are anticipated because the proposed roof deck expansion will not result in modifications to existing driveway orientation, the roof deck guardrail complies with the 30-foot building height limit and the roof deck will be setback from the front (west) and side (north) property lines beyond what the code requires. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The temporary noise generated during the construction period will result in increased noise levels as customary with residential construction. All construction activities must comply with the City’s hours of construction and dust abatement regulations. Construction must conform to the Noise Control Ordinance requirements in HBMC Section 8.24.050. Allowed hours of construction must be printed on the building plans and posted at construction site. The project is conditioned to require that prior to issuance of a Building Permit, abutting property owners and residents within 100 feet of the project site shall be notified of the anticipated date for commencement of construction. Therefore, adverse impacts are not anticipated due to increased noise levels being temporary during construction and there being no long-term ambient noise impacts resulting from the roof deck expansion. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services: The proposed roof deck expansion will not impact the City’s infrastructure or services because the existing residence is currently serviced by City infrastructure and there will be no alterations to the residence. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: Mitigation measures are not required as the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301(a) Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility and involves only minor alterations of the interior/exterior. 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 5.

Applicant:Paul Mance 101 Hermosa Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Property Owner:Rosalee Mance Trust C/O Paul Mance 101 Hermosa Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution and determine that the proposed display covering 212.5 square feet of surface area on the south side of an existing building is consistent with the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) definition of ‘Mural’ at 101 Hermosa Avenue (Mickey’s Deli), and determine that the proposed display is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: The subject property is located at 101 Hermosa Avenue (Mickey’s Deli) on the northwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and 1st Street, abutting an alley behind the business to the west. Hermosa Avenue is a minor north/south arterial street through the city. The applicant proposes a 212.5 square foot (sq. ft.) display on the south side of the existing building facing 1st Street and visible from both 1st Street and Hermosa Avenue. Analysis: ‘Mural’ as defined in HBMC Section 17.50.030 means a “pictorial representation not specifically identifying goods or services offered by the business on the premises.” Mickey’s Deli is a business that offers food and beverages for customers. The proposed display is 17’ wide by 12’6” high and depicts an image of Michael Angelo “Mickey” Mance, founder of Mickey’s Deli in 1953, at a counter with images of his favorite movie stars Marlon City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™95 Staff Report REPORT 19-0614 Brando and Frank Sinatra seated at counter stools. The image will include a painted canopy at the top of the mural. No projecting canopy is proposed. In the image, Mr. Mance is seen leaning on the counter with a portion of the logo on his shirt. The main message of the mural is the image of Mr. Mance, who established his business and personally served the neighborhood for 50 years. The applicant, Mr. Mance’s son Paul Mance, noted that the partial logo is important to include because Mr. Mance wore a Mickey’s Deli shirt every day. In the image, only the colors of the logo image are shown on the shirt, but not the words “Mickey’s Deli.” The image does not advertise Mickey’s Deli or depict food or drinks sold at the business, thus would meet the Code definition of a mural. The building wall will be plastered first to create a flat and smooth surface. The display will then be hand painted directly onto the south wall of the existing building by professional muralist Gustavo Zermeno. Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.50.120.B.6, the Planning Commission may waive specific provisions of the sign ordinance relating to total sign area, coverage, height, type, and style for a display deemed to be a mural. The mural is proposed to comprise 26.5% of the south-facing wall, at the east end of the wall near the front entrance facing Hermosa Avenue. The south wall placement of the mural faces the outdoor patio area adjacent to 1st Street, so it is expected that right-of-way impacts will be minimal. The applicant has been informed, and the project has been conditioned, requiring that a permit be obtained from the Public Works Department and that traffic control plans be provided to the Public Works Department for review and approval, if needed, to occupy the right-of-way while painting the display if the public sidewalk or street is impacted. General Plan Consistency: The project site is located within the General Plan (PLAN Hermosa) Neighborhood Commercial land use area and within the Walk Street Neighborhood Character Area, which provides a range of beach side residential development and neighborhood commercial services. The future vision intention is to maintain the high quality pedestrian connections through the walk streets and retain the form, scale, and orientation of buildings in this area by designing buildings that take advantage of the opportunities for outdoor living. The intended distribution of land use includes small pockets of neighborhood-scale commercial services around 1st Street, 4th Street, and 22nd Street (PLAN Hermosa, Pg. 73 and 83). Furthermore, as indicated in the Public Art and Design section of Plan Hermosa’s Land Use Element, “The City of Hermosa Beach’s artistic past has shaped its vision and guiding principles for the future, and continues to resonate today. Public art includes artwork placed and integrated into the public realm for the community to enjoy. They provide both aesthetic and practical purposes that enhance community character and shapes identity. The public art and design in Hermosa Beach is a true reflection of the City’s name, “Hermosa”, meaning “beautiful” in Spanish. Since incorporation in 1907, the city has evolved into a vibrant and distinct beach community. The prevalence of public art and festivals contribute to the “funky” and “eclectic” character. Public art and design has played a large role in shaping the city’s identity and is appreciated by residents and visitors alike. Public art displays in Hermosa Beach often help to share the rich cultural history of the town in the form of sculptures, murals, and placards or informational displays. These more permanent and highly visible displays - such as the many murals adorning previously blank walls throughout Downtown - contribute to the City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™96 Staff Report REPORT 19-0614 beautification and aesthetic value of the community and are the result of cooperation, dedication, and commitment from many volunteers, donors, and community groups” (PLAN Hermosa Pg. 69). PLAN Hermosa Public Art and Design includes the City’s goals for murals, “The Hermosa Beach Murals Project uses the professional work of talented artists to beautify buildings throughout the city. Murals displaying Hermosa Beach’s rich history and beach culture are showcased bringing community members and visitors from all around to see them. The murals have become a destination point in the city and have educated the community while preserving its unique charm” (PLAN Hermosa Pg. 69). Environmental Analysis: The proposed display is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), because the display will be painted directly onto the south wall of the existing building, and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Conclusion: Staff finds the display is a mural because it does not directly advertise products or goods offered on the premises, but instead depicts the historic 1953 business founder and enhances the pedestrian realm of the Walk Street Neighborhood streetscapes through provision of arts. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution and determine that the proposed display is a mural pursuant to HBMC Sections 17.50.030 and 17.50.120.B.6, and determine that the proposed display is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Resolution 19-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THE PROPOSED 212.5 SQUARE FOOT DISPLAY ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AT 101 HERMOSA AVENUE IS A MURAL AND DETERMINING THE PROPOSED DISPLAY IS NOT A PROJECT UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed on July 23, 2019 by Paul Mance, seeking determination of whether the proposed display covering 212.5 square feet of the south side of an existing building is consistent with the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) definition of “Mural” for the building located at 101 Hermosa Avenue. Section 2. HBMC Section 17.50.030 defines a mural as “a pictorial representation not specifically identifying goods or services offered by the business on the premises.” Section 3. The Planning Commission at its public meeting of September 17, 2019 considered testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 4. The proposed display is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), because the building wall will be primed to create a flat and smooth surface, then the mural will be hand painted directly onto the south wall of the existing building, and the mural will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Section 5. Based on the evidence received at the public meeting, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. The display meets the definition of a mural as set forth in HBMC Section 17.50.030, because the business on the premises, Mickey’s Deli, is a business that offers food and beverages for customers of Hermosa Beach, and the proposed display, a pictorial representation of Hermosa Beach’s historic deli founder Mickey Mance at a counter with 1950’s movie stars, does not specifically identify goods or services offered by the business on the premises. 2. Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.50.130.B, it is appropriate to waive the specific provisions of the sign code pertaining to sign area, coverage, height, type and style for the 212.5 sq. ft. mural display because the display meets the definition of a mural. 98 2 Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the requested Conditional Use Permit, subject to the following Condition of Approval: 1. The image shall not exceed 17 feet in width or 12.5 feet in height. Section 7. Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6, any legal challenge to the decision of the Planning Commission, after a formal appeal to the City Council, must be made within 90 days after the final decision by the City Council.

Applicant:Denn Engineers 3914 Del Amo Blvd., Suite 921 Torrance, CA 90503 Owner:720 24th Place, LLC C/O Dunham Stewart 200 Pier Avenue, Suite 305 Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving the lot line adjustment between a vacant parcel at 720 24th Place (APN: 4184-020-010) and the adjacent parcel to the west (APN: 4184-019-001) finding that the lot line adjustment conforms to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Map Act; and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: The subject parcels are located at the northwest area of the city at the mid-block of 24th Place between Ardmore Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The applicant owns both parcels which are zoned single-family residential (R-1) with a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential. A demolition permit was issued on August 1, 2019 and all structures were demolished, making both parcels vacant. Both parcels front on 24th Place. Analysis: A lot line adjustment is the process under the State Subdivision Map Act that is used to change property lines between existing parcels. The process can be used to do a number of things, such as: combine up to four (4) adjacent parcels into one (1) parcel, alter the boundary between up to four (4) parcels, or reconfigure the shapes of up to four (4) parcels. 720 24th Place is mid-block, with two parcels, which currently measure 87.79 feet wide by 108.12 feet deep and is approximately 9,492 square feet in lot area; the larger parcel to the east (APN: 4184-020 City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™103 Staff Report REPORT 19-0615 -010) complies with the minimum 4,000 square feet lot size the smaller parcel to the west (APN: 4184 -019-001) is substandard to the minimum 4,000 square feet lot size (1,351.5 square feet) and currently measures 12.5 feet wide by 108.12 feet deep. The parcels were previously combined with one single-family residence. The proposal complies with Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.08.030.I. requiring a minimum 4,000 square foot lot area in the R-1 zone. LOT AREA AND PROPERTY LINE DIMENSIONS Existing Proposed 720 24th Place (APN: 4184-020-010) 8,140.35 S.F. (75.29’ x 108.12’)4,746.46 S.F.

(43.89’ x 108.12’) The request to move the property line 31.39 feet to the east will transfer approximately 3,394 square feet in lot area from the parcel at 720 24th Place to the adjacent parcel to the west. 720 24th Place (APN: 4184-020-010) will measure 43.9 feet wide by 108.12 feet deep totaling approximately 4,746 square feet in lot area and will remain compliant with the R-1 zone 4,000 square foot minimum lot area. The adjacent parcel to the west (APN: 4184-019-001) will measure 43.89 feet wide by 108.12 feet deep totaling approximately 4,745 square feet in lot area and will become compliant with the R-1 zone 4,000 square foot minimum lot area, thus creating two legal lots that are conforming to R-1 standards. Findings: Pursuant to the State Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section 66412(d)), a tentative map, parcel map, or final map shall not be required as a condition to the approval of a lot line adjustment between four or fewer existing adjoining parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjoining parcel, and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created if the lot line adjustment is approved by the City. The City must limit its review and approval to a determination of whether the parcels resulting from the adjustment will conform to the local general plan, any applicable specific plan, any applicable coastal plan, and zoning and building ordinances. Conditions and exactions placed on approval must be limited to those necessary to comply with the local general plan, any applicable specific plan, any applicable coastal plan, and zoning and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the lot line adjustment, or to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements. In addition, the City cannot require a record of survey for a lot line adjustment, unless otherwise required by law. General Plan Consistency: The site is located within the General Plan Low Density Residential Land Use area, the purpose of which is to provide for the retention, maintenance, and investment in single-family residential neighborhoods. Attached or detached single-family dwellings are appropriate land uses. The density City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™104 Staff Report REPORT 19-0615 range is 2.0 - 13 dwelling units per acre. The site is also located within the General Plan Greenbelt Character Area, and the future vision is to maintain the building scale and form of this neighborhood, while enhancing access to local neighborhood serving commercial uses. The proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with the General Plan as two low density single-family parcels will be created with appropriate density ranges of 2.0 - 13 dwelling units per acre for the parcels. Future development will be required to comply with the R-1 development standards and other relevant provisions of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. California Environmental Quality Act: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305, Class 5, minor lot line adjustments not resulting in the creation of any new parcel or change in land use or density in areas with an average slope of less than 20 percent. The project will preserve two existing vacant parcels, no new parcels will be created, and the average slope of the project area is 6% from north to south and 18% from east to west, and is therefore Categorically Exempt from CEQA. Summary: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the requested lot line adjustment between vacant parcel at 720 24th Place (APN: 4184-020-010) and the adjacent parcel to the west (APN: 4184 -019-001) finding that the lot line adjustment conforms to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Map Act; and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
