As noted in the report of October 15, 2019, this report covers the period from March 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019. Based on the information in the report, no establishment has reached the “Standard Initiating Planning Commission Review.” Background: Since 2017 the tri-annual reviews of on-sale alcoholic beverage establishments includes the two-step process of providing an informational report before scheduling a hearing. The Process and Standards, updated in 2019, is Attachment 1. Changes to the process and reporting for this review, recommended by the Planning Commission, were approved by the City Council in September 2017, and include reporting and conducting the review three times a year. This is the third report in 2019 and covers the prior 6 months. The next report will be presented in February and will cover the period between July and December. The establishments required to prepare food to alcohol ratio reports for the second half of 2019 will be included in that report. Analysis: Police Reports and ABC Activity: The Police Report and ABC Activity are included as Attachment 2, with their current data sheet as Attachment 3 and officer security checks as Attachment 4. The prior report indicated that one establishment, American Junkie, was determined to be in violation of their CUP due to lack of adequate security. The Suspect pled No Contest and was placed on Summary Probation. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™16 Staff Report REPORT 19-0777 Occupant Load: The threshold to trigger review is one (1). Code Enforcement routinely checks on-sale establishments and did not report occupant load violations during the review period. The presence of Code Enforcement and HBPD efforts has resulted in few warnings being issued. Warnings typically are issued when a place of business appears to or has been counted and confirmed to be close to its posted occupant load. Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention: We are working with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and include their business license inspection report for the first quarter of 2019 as Attachment 5. It indicates approximately 336 businesses were inspected, of which 8 were late night establishments. No violations were reported. (Note: the quarterly report format is standard for LA County Fire.) Statistical Data Relating to Business Checks of Alcohol Serving Establishments March 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019 is contained in Attachment 6, with the last reporting period report as Attachment 7. Code Enforcement/Violation of CUP Conditions: Violations that are both a code violation and a CUP violation are only counted once. Code Enforcement issued four citations during this reporting period. Although many other businesses received warnings, policy is to request compliance prior to issuing a Citation during a single shift. On April 12, and July 13, 2019* Abigaile & Ocean Bar received Administrative Citations for the CUP violation of excessively loud music, audible to the surrounding residential neighborhood. *The citation issued July 13th is being contested via the administrative hearing process. The results of the hearing will be included in the next report. On April 28 2019, Patrick Molloy’s received an Administrative Citation for the CUP violation of changes to the interior layout by adding an elevated stage altering the primary function of business. On August 5, 2019, Slater’s 50 50 was issued an Administrative Citation for the CUP violation of valet parking patrons vehicles in the fire lane on Beach Drive. 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 reports have been received. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™17 Staff Report REPORT 19-0777 Based on the “Procedure for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permit” no businesses have reached the “Standard Initiating P.C. Review” based on the “standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potentially for a subsequent modification/revocation hearing.” General Plan Consistency: Evaluation of the City’s enforcement and police responses to achieve safety goals is consistent with Goal 5 of the Public Safety Element:High Quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors and the following policies under Goal 5: • Public Safety 5.1 Crime deterrence.Regularly evaluate the incidence of crime and identify and implement measures to deter crime. • Public Safety 5.2 High level of response.Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community. • Public Safety 5.3 Use of technology.Provide and use smart surveillance technology and communication systems to improve crime prevention and inform the community regarding actions to take in case of emergency. • Public Safety 5.4 Physical design standards.Reduce opportunities for criminal activity through physical design standards and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles. • Public Safety 5.8 Nuisance abatement. Encourage Police Department review of uses which may be characterized historically by high levels of nuisance (noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of criminal activity) providing for conditions of control of use to prevent adverse 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.

The results of the hearing will be included in the next report. ** Most Code violations are also CUP violations and are not counted twice.

This information may be considered by the planning commission, as additional justification for holding a CUP review hearing after referral based on the criteria above has been determined and as evidence in any CUP modification/revocation hearing. Table 1. CUP Review Standards Standard Initiating P.C. Review(a) Criterion (Number of incidents in any 6 months) Violation of Operating Hours 2 ABC Violations (underage serving, violation of hours, etc.) 2 Overcrowding Citation 1 Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises 2 Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security 2 (Combination of any 3 or more) Violation of any CUP Condition (b) ABC Violations (underage service, violation of hours, etc.) Overcrowding Citation Criminal Citation of Staff while Working/on Premises Serious Crime on Premises indicative of Lack of Adequate Security Noise Citation Health Department Violation Outdoor Encroachment Permit Violation Building Code Violation (incl. remodeling without permit) Sign Ordinance Violation NPDES Violation (Administrative Determination) “Excessive Number” of Calls for Police Service “Excessive Number” of Public Complaints to City “Excessive Number” of Criminal Events on/adjacent to Premises NOTE: (a) – Recommended threshold number; Chief of Police may recommend CUP review to Commission at his/her discretion—at any time regardless of number of incidents in any period of time, to determine whether revocation/medication is appropriate under HBMC 17.70.010—as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. (b) Non-submittal of food to alcohol sales ratio reports in a timely manner when required by a CUP is considered a violation of the CUP condition. Reporting of the food to alcohol sales ratio required by a CUP, ABC license, or the Municipal Code may be required and considered during any modification/revocation action. 20 Hermosa Beach Police Department March 2019 - August 2019 CUP Review 1 Police Reports: The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) conducts a thorough review of all police reports related to establishments which hold an ABC alcohol permit. Each report is typically reviewed individually by more than three people. The review process is initiated by the Crime Analyst, then a review by the Operations Bureau Division Commander (Lieutenant), the Police Captain and ultimately the Chief of Police. The Lieutenant and the Captain make recommendations to the Police Chief regarding their determination of an establishment’s culpability related to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards. In addition, the Operations Bureau Division Commander personally makes contact with owners and managers of establishments related to any concern(s) the Police Department may have of issues that do not rise to a CUP violation. The purpose of this communication is to ensure that the establishment hears directly from the Police Department in an effort to address issues before they rise to CUP violations or other potential safety concerns. Police reports are initiated by a Call for Service (CFS). A CFS begins when someone requests the help of the police (typically by a call to dispatch) or if an officer observes an incident/violation/or contacts someone in an enforcement capacity. A CFS may result in a report, citation, arrest, or no action may be taken. HBPD reviews both CFS and police reports related to ABC permitted addresses. It is important to understand that a CFS or a report at a specific address does not mean an incident happened inside the address. As an example, a traffic accident or a fight reported at 1234 Main Street does not mean the incident occurred inside the address or is associated with the business. The address may simply be associated as a landmark (identifying the location of an incident) wherein the location itself had nothing to do with the incident. That said, a location with a CFS or report should not be assumed to be problematic or involved in the incident as the CFS or report may have nothing to do with the location other than used as a landmark/identifying the location of an incident which occurred outside of the location. In reporting back to the Planning Commission, HBPD will note the number of CFS and Reports associated with an address. We also report back the category of the reports (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.). An establishment will not have a CUP violation charged against them, unless, in HBPD’s review process it is determined that the establishment was complicit or clearly negligent in its actions which results in a violation of the CUP standards (Table 1.) As an example, two people bump into each other inside of an establishment and one person hits the other person without warning. Without additional information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence, the establishment would not be charged with a CUP violation. As the Planning Commission reviews HBPD’s statistics related to each location, it should be understood that a location may have 4 “Total” reports, of which only 3 are “reviewed” would mean one of the four reports has nothing to do with the location. The number under the type of report (e.g. Drunk, Disturbance, Assault, etc.), may or may not be charged against the establishment based on the determination made the HBPD Chief of Police. As noted, this determination will be made based on information demonstrating the establishment’s complicity or negligence. If it is determined that an establishment is complicit or negligent, a number will be assigned to the “Counted for CUP” column. 21 Hermosa Beach Police Department March 2019 - August 2019 CUP Review 2 For context, the HBPD and the FBI categorizes assaults, sexual assaults and narcotics violations as ‘serious crime.” With this in mind and with the agreement of the Planning Commission, it has been determined that two (2) incidents of “Serious Crime on Premises Indicative of Lack of Adequate Security” is the established criteria needed for the Chief of Police to request a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) review by the Planning Commission (as noted on Table 1 of the CUP review standards). That said, the municipal code also provides: “the Chief of Police retains authority to recommend CUP reviews to the Planning Commission at his/her discretion— regardless of the number of incidents in any period of time, as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. Between 03/01/19 and 08/31/2019, 28 police reports and 51 CFS related to establishments with CUPs merited review by police staff. Both Abigails (16 noise complaints/2 citations issued by Hermosa Beach Code Enforcement) and Tower 12 (12 noise complaints) had numerous calls for service for noise complaints. See attached 2019 March-August CUP 6 Month Review Chart. In our prior report, it was determined that one (1) incident occurring at American Junkie was in violation of the CUP Review Standards or rose to the level of a serious crime indicative of lack of adequate security. This case has been criminally prosecuted and is closed. The suspect pled No Contest and was placed on Summary Probation.

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. Below is a recap of the police department’s efforts for the months of March 2019 through August 2019: March 9, 2019 Minor Decoy Operation – No citations May 17, 2019 Minor Decoy Operation – 16 establishments visited – No violations 22 Hermosa Beach Police Department March 2019 - August 2019 CUP Review 3 June 7, 2019 Shoulder Tap Operation – 2 cited for providing alcohol to a minor June 28, 2019 Trap Door Operation – 2 cited for fake identification Update to Prior ABC Activities: May’s Gas Station and Minimart was cited in January of 2019 and ABC has fined this locaiton. The Green Store was cited in September of 2019 and ABC has fined this location. Responsible Beverage Service Training: On July 23, 2019 Behavioral Health Services provided RBS training in Hermosa Beach and had 30 attendees from local Hermosa Beach establishments. Definitions: IMPACT (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies) Inspection- objective of the project is to educate licensees about the various ways they can participate in reducing alcohol-related crimes such as sales to underage and obviously intoxicated persons. Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs (LEAD) Training- A free, voluntary prevention and education program for retail licensees, their employees and applicants, designed to promote the legal and responsible sale and service of alcoholic beverages in California. Minor Decoy- This operation allows law enforcement to use persons under 20 years of age as decoys to test establishments ID check process to determine if they will sell alcohol to minors. Party Patrol Enforcement- This operation focuses on under aged alcohol related parties. Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Training- (Similar to LEAD Training) Free alcohol beverage service training provided by Behavioral Health Services (BHS) to sellers/servers designed to promote the legal and responsible sale and service of alcoholic beverages in California. Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Training- Similar to LEAD training, this free training is provided by the Behavioral Health Services. Shoulder Tap- During these operations, a minor decoy, under the direct supervision of law enforcement officers, solicits adults outside ABC licensed establishments to buy the minor decoy alcohol. Trap Door- During these operations, law enforcement works with establishments to interview and cite minors who have attempted to gain access to an establishment using a false ID. 23 Hermosa Beach Police Department March 2019 - August 2019 CUP Review 4 DUI and Drunk in Public Summary: As part of DUI and Drunk in Public arrests, HBPD officers, to the best of their abilities, ask arrestees to tell them where they have previously been drinking, and more specifically the last place they recall drinking. Not all contacts with arrestees provide an opportunity to ask these questions. The answers are documented and are presented here.

Applicant:(Hotel Hermosa) Pacifica Food and Beverage, Inc. 2515 Pacific Coast Highway Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Property Owner:IWF Hotel Hermosa, L.P., a California Limited Partnership 39 Argonaut Aliso Viejo, CA 94656 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolutions approving the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-9 and Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: ZONING:C-3 General Commercial GENERAL PLAN:Gateway Commercial EXISTING/PROPOSED USE(S):Hotel/ Hotel with on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors and outdoors LOT AREA:27,878 S.F.

Neighboring the project site to the west is a multiple-family residential condominium complex (33 units) and neighboring the site to the south is another multiple-family residential complex (10 units) and a commercial retail store fronting Pacific Coast Highway (Spyder Surfboards). Commercial uses (office and retail buildings) are also located north across Artesia Boulevard/Gould Avenue and east across Pacific Coast Highway (restaurants, grocery market and a church). The two lowest levels of the hotel consist of required parking, while the ground level of the hotel consists of a lobby, common area, outdoor patio, and hotel rooms, while the remaining two stories are dedicated to hotel rooms. Access to the hotel is provided from Pacific Coast Highway via a driveway which leads to a covered pick-up and drop-off registration court. Underground parking is accessed from a driveway which spans the south property line. The subject site has historically operated as a hotel which is a permitted use in the C-3 zone. In 2016 the hotel underwent an extensive interior remodel of the guest rooms, lobby, and first floor common area, as well as exterior improvements including new paint, signage, and a redesign of the outdoor patio. As part of the interior renovation the applicant requested to modify the common area on the first floor to accommodate limited food service for guests of the hotel. On June 21, 2016, the Planning Commission approved a Parking Plan to allow limited food service in the first floor common area at an existing 81-room hotel. The hotel operates pursuant to PC Resolution 16-16 (resolution attached). Analysis The applicant requests a new CUP to provide on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa) in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests. A Parking Plan Amendment is required to modify Planning Commission Resolution 16-16 Condition of Approval No. 8 which currently limits food and beverage service operations from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. CUP Criteria, Conditions and Standards: Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.26.030 allows the sale, service and consumption of alcohol on-site with approval of a Conditional Use Permit in the C-3 zone. HBMC Section 17.40.020 establishes the criteria, conditions and standards for reviewing, granting and amending CUPs in order to reduce the potential for adverse secondary land use impacts. In considering the granting of any CUP for any use, the following criteria for granting said permit shall be considered: 17.40.020 General criteria for all uses A.Distance from existing residential uses: The existing hotel is located at a major commercial intersection, Artesia Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway with commercial uses dominating Pacific Coast Highway frontage and easterly along Artesia Boulevard. A 33-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west while a 10-unit multiple family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the southwest. Additional single-family and multiple-family residences line the south side of Gould Avenue west of the subject property as well as along 24th Place, southwest of the subject property. The proposed beer and wine service for on-site consumption would include service in the existing indoor bar/lounge and also within the outdoor patio at the southwest corner of the subject site. Food and beverages would be limited to hotel guests only and the bar/lounge and outdoor patio City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™59 Staff Report REPORT 19-0780 would not be open to the public. Parking Plan Resolution 16-16 requires compliance with the following applicable conditions of approval which will be modified (through Parking Plan amendment 19-6) to reduce impacts to neighboring properties as well as other motel guests and the Parking Plan resolution (as modified) will remain in full force and effect in addition to the new CUP resolution. 9.Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service shall be available only for motel hotel guests staying at the hotel and shall not be open to the public. 11.Food and beverage service requires proof of stay at the hotel via a hotel room key. Patrons must provide evidence of lodging at the hotel prior to receiving food and beverage service.The hotel shall only provide alcoholic beverage services to verified registered guests of the hotel. 14. No entertainment, speakers, or televisions are allowed on the exterior of the building, or in the open- air areas. No live entertainment is permitted on-site. 15. The business shall prevent loitering, unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons on the outdoor patio, outside the business, or in the immediate area. 16. If the operation of the establishment poses a risk or harm to persons or property, the Police Chief may direct the presence of a police approved doorman and/or security personnel to eliminate the problem, at the owner/operator’s expense. If the problem persists, the Chief then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Parking Plan by the Planning Commission. 24. A sound and light barrier wall shall be constructed and maintained at the end of the driveway at the southwest corner of the property to the Satisfaction of the Community Development Director. In addition, beer and wine sales, service and consumption indoors would be limited to the hours of Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM which, in addition to project conditions, would reduce potential impacts to insignificant levels. B.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements as there are 71 on-site spaces. The addition of beer and wine sale, service and consumption for hotel guests only will not change the existing hotel use, will provide incidental alcohol service in conjunction with an expanded food service to those already staying at the hotel and will therefore not increase parking demand. C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The proposed project involves no alterations to the existing building or outdoor patio and is limited to providing food and alcoholic beverage sale, service and consumption available to guests of the hotel only. The nearest church is located to the east across Pacific Coast Highway (Hope Chapel) and the nearest public playground is west of the site on the corner of Gould Avenue and Valley Drive. These uses are generally daytime uses while food and alcohol service activity typically peaks during the evening hours. No impacts to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds are anticipated. D.The combination of uses proposed: The existing hotel use with a bar/lounge offering food service and non- alcoholic beverages is a permitted use in the C-3 zone and the proposed sale, service and consumption of alcohol on -site requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The existing bar/lounge is located indoors on the first floor and within a common area and will operate from Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The existing outdoor patio is located on the first floor at the southwest corner of the subject site City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™60 Staff Report REPORT 19-0780 and will operate from Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, thereby reducing the likelihood of potential impacts between the uses. E.The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: The nearest hotel is located to the south of the subject site on Pacific Coast Highway at 15th Street (Hampton Inn and Suites). Additional hotels in the City are located on Aviation Boulevard (Quality Inn) and in the downtown area. The provision of expanded food service for hotel guests and allowance for beer and wine sales, service and consumption would be ancillary to the primary hotel use and would supplement the expanded food service made available to hotel guests. The Beach House Inn was granted a CUP for on-sale general alcohol sales in 2001 which is limited to the use of in-room mini-bars and private banquet rooms used only by hotel guests. The Beach House Inn is located in the City’s Downtown District near Pier Plaza and is located a considerable distance away (approximately .7 miles), offers different alcohol service and therefore over-concentration of similar businesses is not anticipated. F.Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In early 2017 the hotel owner voluntarily extended the sound and light barrier wall further north along the west property line, adjacent to the outdoor patio, to create a sound and privacy buffer between the 33-unit multi-family residential complex to the west and the hotel. The hotel owner also wrapped both sides of the wall with artificial greenery to be more aesthetically pleasing to both hotel guests and also the neighbors to the west who are located approximately 10-12 feet from the hotel’s west property line and outdoor patio. The sound wall measures approximately 18’6” high from the parking lot (including the artificial greenery and concrete masonry wall) and approximately 10 feet high along the outdoor patio (including the artificial greenery and concrete masonry wall) and was constructed with two layers of 3/4 inch exterior grade plywood. The applicant suggested a condition of approval, which is included in the proposed CUP resolution, requiring that the hotel manager and anyone involved in the sale/service of beer and wine attend and pass a responsible beverage service training provider program to educate hotel management and servers of alcohol responsibility and California laws in order to serve alcoholic beverages safely, responsibly, and legally, and to prevent illicit drug activity. G.The relationship of proposed business-generated traffic volume and size of streets serving the area:The request for beer and wine service and consumption within the bar/lounge and outdoor patio for hotel guests only is not anticipated to generate additional traffic to the site. As such, no impacts are anticipated. H.The proposed exterior signs and décor, and compatibility with existing establishments in the area:The proposed project does not include exterior signs or décor. No impacts are anticipated. I.Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The hotel with proposed beer and wine sale, service and consumption limited to no later than 9:00 PM Sunday through Thursday indoors and outdoors and no later than 10:00 PM outdoors and 11:00 PM indoors Friday and Saturday is not considered a late-night alcohol beverage establishment and will not contribute to adverse impacts commonly associated with late-night alcohol establishments. Therefore, the subject request it not subject to the limitations contained within HBMC Section 17.40.080. The outdoor patio is located in the southwest corner of the building and faces the multiple-family residences to the west and the southwest. Currently, the subject property contains a 4,838 square foot outdoor patio. The bar/lounge area and outdoor patio will be regularly monitored by hotel staff to ensure neighboring residences and hotel guests are not being disturbed and that the use is limited to hotel guests. Food service may be provided on the outdoor patio beginning at 6:00 AM daily with alcohol service limited to 8:00 AM on the outdoor patio consistent with the City’s Noise Ordinance. The above-mentioned measures are anticipated to reduce the likelihood of noise impacts to neighboring uses. J.Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: The City’s Police Department has concerns about activity at the hotel when compared to other similarly sized hotels in the City along Pacific Coast Highway. A report of calls for service at Hotel Hermosa, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Quality Inn from January 2018 to November 2019 is included as an attachment to the report. The City is committed to ensuring that the hotel establishment is closely monitored and the project is conditioned such that “If the operation of the City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 7 powered by Legistar™61 Staff Report REPORT 19-0780 establishment poses a risk or harm to persons or property, the Police Chief may direct the presence of a police approved doorman and/or security personnel to eliminate the problem, at the owner/operator’s expense. If the problem persists, the Chief then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan by the Planning Commission.” (CUP Condition No. 11). The City’s Police Department in coordination with the Code Enforcement Division are committed to monitor the establishment periodically to ensure impacts are resolved and if impacts are reoccurring that the CUP and Parking Plan be brought before the Planning Commission for modification/revocation. In addition, “The Planning Commission may review this Conditional Use Permit and may amend the subject conditions or impose any new conditions if deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental effects on the neighborhood or to the public safety and welfare resulting from the subject use pursuant to the procedures for modification/revocation in the HBMC.” (CUP Condition No. 23). CUP Condition No.5 requires that the provision of alcoholic beverages shall comply with the following: a.The hotel manager and anyone involved in the sale/service of beer and wine shall attend and pass a responsible beverage service training provider program to educate hotel management and servers of alcohol responsibility and California laws in order to serve alcoholic beverages safely,responsibly,and legally,and to prevent illicit drug activity. b.Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. c.Food and beverage service shall be available only for hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. d.The hotel shall only provide alcoholic beverage services to verified registered guests of the hotel. e.All alcoholic beverages shall be served in non-disposable drink ware. f.A minimum 42” high concrete wall surrounding the outdoor dining area shall be maintained. g.Signs shall be posted in a conspicuous location warning patrons of the illegality of removing alcoholic beverages from the hotel property,and carrying and consuming alcoholic beverages in any public place such as the public sidewalk. h.Any substantial deviation,changes to the floor plan,site plan or building exterior which alters or intensifies the alcoholic beverages service shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. Impacts to police services have been an issue with some late night alcohol serving facilities clustered in the downtown area. However, given the existing use is a hotel, food and beverages will only be available to hotel guests, alcohol will be limited to beer and wine and will exclude liquor and hours for sale, service and consumption of alcohol are limited, the request is not anticipated to impact City services. K.Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole:No other considerations are identified. Parking Plan Amendment: An amendment to the Parking Plan approved in 2016 (PC Resolution 16-16) is required to modify conditions of approval as shown edited below. 8.Food and beverage service operations On-sale, service and consumption of beer and wine shall be from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily limited to indoor hours Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoor hours Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Food service shall be limited indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. 9.Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service shall be available only for motel hotel guests staying at the hotel and shall not be open to the public. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 7 powered by Legistar™62 Staff Report REPORT 19-0780 11.Food and beverage service requires proof of stay at the hotel via a hotel room key. Patrons must provide evidence of lodging at the hotel prior to receiving food and beverage service.The hotel shall only provide alcoholic beverage services to verified registered guests of the hotel. The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements as there are 71 on-site spaces. The addition of beer and wine sale, service and consumption for hotel guests only will not change the existing hotel use, will provide incidental alcohol service in conjunction with an expanded food service to those already staying at the hotel and will therefore not increase parking demand. Parking Plan Resolution 16-16 with the following modified conditions will remain in full force and effect in addition to the new CUP resolution conditions. The current hotel supplies adequate parking to meet demand without impacts to surrounding uses. Environmental Determination: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with expanded ancillary food service involves negligible or no expansion of the use. General Plan Consistency: The establishment is located within the Gateway Commercial (GC) General Plan land use area and the Pacific Coast Highway Corridor. The Gateway Commercial designation is located at key entryways and intersections to Hermosa Beach to offer a greater variety of employment, retail, and economic activity to the community. The Gateway Commercial designation also plays a role in providing services and amenities to visitors and the region by encouraging hotels and larger employment centers to be located in this area. This project has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Goals and Policies are listed below: ·Land Use Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents. Policies: 1.1 Diverse and distributed land use pattern. Strive to maintain the fundamental pattern of existing land uses, preserving residential neighborhoods, while providing for enhancement of corridors and districts in order to improve community activity and identity. 1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs.Ensure land uses and businesses provide for the needs of residents as well as visitors. 1.7 Compatibility of uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses. ·Land Use Goal 4. A variety of corridors throughout the city provide opportunities for shopping, recreation, commerce, employment and circulation. Policy: 4.8 Neighborhood buffer. Encourage all commercial property owners bordering residential areas to mitigate impacts and use appropriate landscaping and buffering of residential neighborhoods. The existing hotel with proposed on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors and outdoors in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests only is a resident and visitor serving accommodation which will be buffered from neighboring residential uses and is an appropriate use within the Gateway Commercial and Pacific Coast Highway Corridor. Summary The City received letters in support and opposed to the request which are included as attachments to the report. Based on the analysis above, the proposed on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 6 of 7 powered by Legistar™63 Staff Report REPORT 19-0780 with expanded food service for hotel guests, as conditioned, is consistent with the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and PLAN Hermosa. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolutions approving CUP 19-9 and Parking Plan 19-6 amendment, and determine that 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 A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW ON-SITE SALE, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE INDOORS SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY 6:00 AM TO 9:00 PM AND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 6:00 AM TO 11:00 PM AND OUTDOORS SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY 8:00 AM TO 9:00 PM AND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 8:00 AM TO 10:00 PM AT AN EXISTING HOTEL (HOTEL HERMOSA), IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXPANDED FOOD SERVICE FOR HOTEL GUESTS LOCATED AT 2515 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Pacifica Food and Beverage, Inc., seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-9 and Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on November 19, 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 Class 1 Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with expanded ancillary food service involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan Amendment pursuant to the criteria in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.40.020 finding that the use as conditioned will be compatible with the surroundings and all impacts can be reduced to an insignificant level: 65 Page 2- CUP 19-9 HBMC Section 17.40.020 Conditional Use Permit general criteria for all uses: A. Distance from existing residential uses: The existing hotel is located at a major commercial intersection, Artesia Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway with commercial uses dominating Pacific Coast Highway frontage and easterly along Artesia Boulevard. A 33-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west while a 10-unit multiple family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the southwest. Additional single-family and multiple-family residences line the south side of Gould Avenue west of the subject property as well as along 24th Place, southwest of the subject property. The proposed beer and wine service for on-site consumption would include service in the existing indoor bar/lounge and also within the outdoor patio at the southwest corner of the subject site. Food and beverages would be limited to hotel guests only and the bar/lounge and outdoor patio would not be open to the public. Parking Plan Resolution 16-16 requires compliance with the following conditions of approval (with conditions 9-10 as modified below) through Parking Plan amendment 19-6 to reduce impacts to neighboring properties as well as other motel guests. The Parking Plan resolution (as modified) will remain in full force and effect in addition to the new CUP resolution. 9. Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service shall be available only for hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. 11. Food and beverage service requires proof of stay at the hotel via a hotel room key. Hotel guests must provide evidence of lodging at the hotel prior to receiving food and beverage service. 14. No entertainment, speakers, or televisions are allowed on the exterior of the building, or in the open-air areas. No live entertainment is permitted on-site. 15. The business shall prevent loitering, unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons on the outdoor patio, outside the business, or in the immediate area. 16. If the operation of the establishment poses a risk or harm to persons or property, the Police Chief may direct the presence of a police approved doorman and/or security personnel to eliminate the problem, at the owner/operator’s expense. If the problem persists, the Chief then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Parking Plan by the Planning Commission. 24. A sound and light barrier wall shall be constructed and maintained at the end of the driveway at the southwest corner of the property to the Satisfaction of the Community Development Director. 66 Page 3- CUP 19-9 In addition, beer and wine sales, service and consumption indoors would be limited to the hours of Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM which, in addition to project conditions, would reduce potential impacts to insignificant levels. B. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The existing hotel is compliant with current parking requirements as there are 71 on-site spaces. The addition of beer and wine sale, service and consumption for hotel guests only will not change the existing hotel use, will provide incidental alcohol service in conjunction with an expanded food service to those already staying at the hotel and will therefore not increase parking demand. C. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: The proposed project involves no alterations to the existing building or outdoor patio and is limited to providing food and alcoholic beverage sale, service and consumption available to guests of the hotel only. The nearest church is located to the east across Pacific Coast Highway (Hope Chapel) and the nearest public playground is west of the site on the corner of Gould Avenue and Valley Drive. These uses are generally daytime uses while food and alcohol service activity typically peaks during the evening hours. No impacts to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds are anticipated. D. The combination of uses proposed: The existing hotel use with a bar/lounge offering food service and non-alcoholic beverages is a permitted use in the C-3 zone and the proposed sale, service and consumption of alcohol on-site requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The existing bar/lounge is located indoors on the first floor and within a common area and will operate from Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The existing outdoor patio is located on the first floor at the southwest corner of the subject site and will operate from Sunday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, thereby reducing the likelihood of potential impacts between the uses. E. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: The nearest hotel is located to the south of the subject site on Pacific Coast Highway at 15th Street (Hampton Inn and Suites). Additional hotels in the City are located on Aviation Boulevard (Quality Inn) and in the downtown area. The provision of expanded food service for hotel guests and allowance for beer and wine sales, service and consumption would be ancillary to the primary hotel use and would supplement the expanded food service made available to hotel guests. The Beach House Inn was granted a CUP for on-sale general alcohol sales in 2001 which is limited the use of in-room mini-bars and private banquet rooms used only by hotel guests. The Beach House Inn is located in the City’s Downtown District near Pier Plaza and is located a considerable distance away (approximately .7 miles), offers different alcohol service and therefore over-concentration of similar businesses is not anticipated. 67 Page 4- CUP 19-9 F. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In early 2017 the hotel owner voluntarily extended the sound and light barrier wall further north along the west property line, adjacent to the outdoor patio, to create a sound and privacy buffer between the 33-unit multi-family residential complex to the west and the hotel. The hotel owner also wrapped both sides of the wall with artificial greenery to be more aesthetically pleasing to both hotel guests and also the neighbors to the west who are located approximately 10-12 feet from the hotel’s west property line and outdoor patio. The sound wall measures approximately 18’6” high from the parking lot (including the artificial greenery and concrete masonry wall) and approximately 10 feet high along the outdoor patio (including the artificial greenery and concrete masonry wall) and was constructed with two layers of 3/4 inch exterior grade plywood. The project is conditioned to require that the hotel manager and anyone involved in the sale/service of beer and wine attend and pass a responsible beverage service training provider program to educate hotel management and servers of alcohol responsibility and California laws in order to serve alcoholic beverages safely, responsibly, and legally, and to prevent illicit drug activity. G. The relationship of proposed business-generated traffic volume and size of streets serving the area: The request for beer and wine service and consumption within the bar/lounge and outdoor patio for hotel guests only is not anticipated to generate additional traffic to the site. As such, no impacts are anticipated. H. The proposed exterior signs and décor, and compatibility with existing establishments in the area: The proposed project does not include exterior signs or décor. No impacts are anticipated. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The hotel with proposed beer and wine sale, service and consumption limited to no later than 9:00 PM Sunday through Thursday indoors and outdoors and no later than 10:00 PM outdoors and 11:00 PM indoors Friday and Saturday is not considered a late-night alcohol beverage establishment and will not contribute to adverse impacts commonly associated with late-night alcohol establishments. Therefore, the subject request it not subject to the limitations contained within HBMC Section 17.40.080. The outdoor patio is located in the southwest corner of the building and faces the multiple- family residences to the west and the southwest. Currently, the subject property contains a 4,838 square foot outdoor patio. The bar/lounge area and outdoor patio will be regularly monitored by hotel staff to ensure neighboring residences and hotel guests are not being disturbed and that the use is limited to hotel guests. Food service may be provided on the outdoor patio beginning at 6:00 AM daily with alcohol service limited to 8:00 AM on the outdoor patio consistent with the City’s Noise Ordinance. The above-mentioned measures are anticipated to reduce the likelihood of noise impacts to neighboring uses. J. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: The City’s Police Department has concerns about activity at the hotel when compared to other similarly sized hotels in the City along Pacific Coast Highway. A report of calls for service at Hotel Hermosa, 68 Page 5- CUP 19-9 Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Quality Inn from January 2018 to November 2019 is included as an attachment to the report. The City is committed to ensuring that the hotel establishment is closely monitored and the project is conditioned such that “If the operation of the establishment poses a risk or harm to persons or property, the Police Chief may direct the presence of a police approved doorman and/or security personnel to eliminate the problem, at the owner/operator’s expense. If the problem persists, the Chief then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan by the Planning Commission.” (CUP Condition No. 11). The City’s Police Department in coordination with the Code Enforcement Division are committed to monitor the establishment periodically to ensure impacts are resolved and if impacts are reoccurring that the CUP and Parking Plan be brought before the Planning Commission for modification/revocation. In addition, “The Planning Commission may review this Conditional Use Permit and may amend the subject conditions or impose any new conditions if deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental effects on the neighborhood or to the public safety and welfare resulting from the subject use pursuant to the procedures for modification/revocation in the HBMC.” (CUP Condition No. 23). CUP Condition No.5 requires that the provision of alcoholic beverages shall comply with the following: a. The hotel manager and anyone involved in the sale/service of beer and wine shall attend and pass a responsible beverage service training provider program to educate hotel management and servers of alcohol responsibility and California laws in order to serve alcoholic beverages safely, responsibly, and legally, and to prevent illicit drug activity. b. Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. c. Food and beverage service shall be available only for hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. d. The hotel shall only provide alcoholic beverage services to verified registered guests of the hotel. e. All alcoholic beverages shall be served in non-disposable drink ware. f. A minimum 42” high concrete wall surrounding the outdoor dining area shall be maintained. g. Signs shall be posted in a conspicuous location warning patrons of the illegality of removing alcoholic beverages from the hotel property, and carrying and consuming alcoholic beverages in any public place such as the public sidewalk. h. Any substantial deviation, changes to the floor plan, site plan or building exterior which alters or intensifies the alcoholic beverages service shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. Impacts to police services have been an issue with some late night alcohol serving facilities clustered in the downtown area. However, given the existing use is a hotel, food and beverages will only be available to hotel guests, alcohol will be limited to beer and wine and will exclude liquor and hours for sale, service and consumption of alcohol are limited, the request is not anticipated to impact City services. 69 Page 6- CUP 19-9 K.

RESOLUTION NO. 19-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PARKING PLAN AMENDMENT TO MODIFY CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL IN CONJUNCTION WITH APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW ON-SITE SALE, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE INDOORS AND OUTDOORS AT AN EXISTING HOTEL (HOTEL HERMOSA), IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXPANDED FOOD SERVICE FOR HOTEL GUESTS LOCATED AT 2515 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Pacifica Food and Beverage, Inc., seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 19-9 and Parking Plan Amendment 19-6 to allow on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on November 19, 2019, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission Section 3. The subject project was granted a discretionary Parking Plan in June of 2016 (Planning Commission Resolution 16-16). Section 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility where the hotel operation will be maintained and providing on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with expanded ancillary food service involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an amendment to a Parking Plan, as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution 16-16, to modify conditions to read as follows. All other parts of Planning Commission Resolution 16-16 remain unchanged and all parts of CUP 19-9 (Planning Commission Resolution 19-XX) shall additionally apply. . 8.

Food service shall be limited indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. 9. Exterior signage or any other form of outside promoting or advertising referencing any food and/or beverage products sold is prohibited. 10. Food and beverage service shall be available only for motel hotel guests staying at the hotel and shall not be open to the public. 11. Food and beverage service requires proof of stay at the hotel via a hotel room key. Patrons must provide evidence of lodging at the hotel prior to receiving food and beverage service. The hotel shall only provide alcoholic beverage services to verified registered guests of the hotel. Section 6. This permit shall not be effective for any purposes until the permittee and the owners of the property involved have filed at the office of the Planning Division of the Community Development Department their affidavits stating that they are aware of, and agree to accept, all of the conditions of this permit. The Parking Plan Amendment shall be recorded, and proof of recordation shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to implementing alcohol service. Each of the above conditions is separately enforced, and if one of the conditions of approval is found to be invalid by a court of law, all the other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. To the extent permitted by law, Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Hermosa Beach, its City Council, its officers, employees and agents (the “indemnified parties”) from and against any claim, action, or proceeding brought by a third party against the indemnified parties and the applicant to attack, set aside, or void any permit or approval for this project authorized by the City, including (without limitation) reimbursing the City its actual attorney’s fees and costs in defense of the litigation. The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to defend any such action with attorneys of its choice. The permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney's fees which the City may be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this permit. Although the permittee is the real party in interest in an action, the City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of the action, but such participation shall not relieve the permittee of any obligation under this condition. Section 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. 76 3 VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: CERTIFICATION I hereby certify the foregoing Resolution P.C.

We are, unfortunately, two rather incompatible uses forced to exist side by side. While we appreciate the efforts and expense that the owners have undertaken in order to mitigate the existing situation, we are still faced with a noise control issue, which would only get worse with the introduction of indoor and outdoor beer and wine service as described in the hotel’s CUP application. A while back, the hotel's renovation project changed the quiet, outdoor Japanese garden - of many years - into a 4,800 sq. ft. game area patio (“The Yard”) with pool tables, a bocce ball court, games, and fire pits with lounge seating. This more intensive use of the property generated significantly higher noise levels than those we had previously experienced. It seriously disturbed our residents' peaceful enjoyment of their homes since many are only 16' away from the patio. In a gesture to mitigate the noise level, the hotel built a landscaped, buffer wall along the west side of their patio and the driveway. It was installed primarily as a visual barrier (after Sea View Villas Residents frequently saw, and reported, hotel guests drinking illegally in “The Yard”), but does little to reduce the noise. “The Yard” has seating for more than 70 people, with a permitted occupancy of 323 people. Sea View Villas homeowners are concerned because the hotel owner had expressed to us that the 123 property was purchased, and “The Yard” developed, in order to be able to host large outdoor events. One third of our units, eleven in total, are at the upper level close to this patio and are affected by the noise, EVEN WITHOUT LARGE EVENTS. SVV HOA feels it necessary to continue to oppose Commission approval of any CUP application, since we cannot support the sale of alcohol, on the Hotel Hermosa site. Yours Truly Sea View Villas Homeowners Association cc: Stacey Armato (Mayor) Mary Campbell (Mayor Pro Tem) Jeff Duclos Hany Fangary Justin Massey Ken Robertson 124 1 SEA VIEW VILLAS, 736 GOULD AVE. – COMMENTS OF OWNERS TO PLANNING COMMISSION (8 pages total) RE: Hotel Hermosa's Application for a Beer and Wine CUP David Sherwood. Nov. 10, 2019 We are homeowners at 736 Gould Avenue, Unit 32, and my 7-year old son's room is directly across from the hotel's back patio (approximately 16’) where the commission is now considering allowing alcohol sales and consumption. We strongly OPPOSE any liquor license for a variety of reasons, most notably that the hours contemplated for the sale and consumption of liquor exactly coincide with the time my son is going to sleep (8PM) or while he is supposed to be sleeping. There is already intermittent noise / music from the Hotel Hermosa back patio, especially on summer nights when our windows are necessarily open, and clearly allowing alcohol will not only increase the volume and frequency of the noise, but also how late it will go. Moreover, given the open nature of the back patio, even IF the hotel really did cut off alcohol at the hours they say, the noise would likely stretch much later given the party atmosphere it would create. There are plenty of bars and venues in Hermosa Beach that are far removed from our large community filled with families with young kids and there is no need to add another right adjacent to a residential community. Finally, I want to add this is NOT a case of NIMBY'ism, or in any way suggesting a change in current policy. Quite the contrary, everyone who owns or leases in this complex has done so under the current situation where the hotel has been denied a liquor license for the obvious nuisance it would cause. I implore you not to undermine the peaceful relationship between the hotel and the residents adjacent, simply to allow the hotel owners to increase their profits. Sincerely, David, Ayako, and Forest Sherwood - Unit 32 ______________________________________________________________________________ 125 2 Ingrid Jodele. Nov. 10, 2019 I am from Unit 4 at the very bottom of the buildings. I think that anyone who lives in Hermosa realizes that we are jam packed together and we all have a responsibility to be good neighbors. A business establishment that sells alcohol makes that very hard. It's like having a party next door every evening. This should not be allowed. Ingrid Jodele Gelareh Armandpour. Nov. 11, 2019 Good morning, I’m from unit # 30. I am very afraid that the value of my property will decrease as a result of this proposal. Nobody I know wants their family to be raised near an establishment that serves alcohol and has a party atmosphere! This would not serve our residential community that is very much family oriented! _______________________________________________________________________ Al Baruch. Nov. 11, 2019 Please refrain from issuing a liquor license to the hotel. This would be detrimental to many families and individuals in our adjacent complex for many obvious reasons. AL BARUCH Unit 28 _______________________________________________________________ Barbara Helm. Nov. 11, 2019 This is Barbara from unit 7. I agree completely with Ingrid. Barbara Helm. (I-Phone) ____________________________________________________________ Misha DiBono. Nov. 11, 2019 This Misha DiBono in unit 21. We are strongly opposed to alcohol being served next to our homes and quite literally backed up to and on top of some of our residence City zoning was established to protect homeowner and protect businesses in their proper locations. Bars and Restaurants are in certain areas of a city a decent distance from homes - people’s sanctuaries. To arrive 30 years later and decide to change that is preposterous. Clearly if approved this will significantly impede on residence rightful expectation of peace and privacy. This is slippery slope that once allowed with grow into music on the patio, weddings, Bachelorette parties. It’s a great idea- just needs to be somewhere else - not next door to families and residents who have lived here for 30+ years. Thank you. ___________________________________________________________________- 126 3 Patrick Marona. Nov. 11, 2019 City of Hermosa Beach: I STRONGLY OPPOSE the issue of a liquor license to the Hotel Hermosa. This would cause way too much noise as we are just a few feet away. This would also decrease our property values. Patrick Marona Unit 18 ______________________________________________________________________ Rosemary Reinhardt. Nov. 11, 2019 I am Rosemary Reinhardt & my husband, Robert & I own & reside at Sea View Villas, unit 29. Our unit is on the upper level, east side, facing Hotel Hermosa. Our kitchen & one of our bedrooms face the hotel. We hear the thud, thud, thud of the hotel guests playing cornhole quite often. As far as I know, the game is set up directly behind the wall which borders our property line. The thud is usually followed by loud screams & cheers, etc. I’m all for people having fun but combine that activity with beer & wine & that sounds like a tailgate experience right outside of our bedroom window. Therefore, we strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. _______________________________________________________________ Brian Anstey. Nov. 11, 2019 My wife and I own Unit # 23, on the Upper Level, and are directly affected by our proximity to the hotel. We strongly agree with our fellow owners that the introduction of alcohol sales will contribute to raising the noise levels not only on the patio, but also from the pool area, and increase the negative effects on our rights to peace and privacy. We, therefore, strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Brian & Ita Anstey _____________________________________________________________________ Deborah Torres. Nov. 11, 2019 I own unit #33, on the upper level directly behind the hotel. The wall that the Hotel added has stopped the hotel guests' car lights from shining into my windows, but unfortunately the noise from the patio for most of the year is still loud and disruptive. I have been woken up countless times late or in the middle of the night from Hotel guests who seemingly have come back from local bars and are 127 4 continuing their party outside our windows. This occurs most weekends and several times each week during warm months. Although the hotel assured us that they would monitor their guests to avoid this type of disturbance, they have yet to do so. The hotel guests already drink outside, which we can see when they sit along the patio ledge with their beer and wine bottles. The sale of alcohol added to this, combined with the large number of people permitted to be on the patio, would significantly worsen the noise problem that has occurred since Hotel Hermosa created a large social space on their patio outside our bedroom windows. I strongly oppose the Hotel getting a CUP to allow the sale and consumption of beer and wine, both indoors and outdoors. _____________________________________________________________________ Rakhshanda Javed-Ghaffar. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit 26 directly behind Hotel Hermosa. I oppose the issuance of a liquor license due to the disturbance of residents living in Sea View Villas especially those units directly parallel to the hotel. There is already noise that transcends from the pool area and back walkway when guests are at the hotel. Allowing alcohol sales would increase the noise in addition to the rowdiness of guests who may become overly intoxicated. Due to these reasons, I oppose the license to sell alcohol of any kind at Hotel Hermosa. Ruby Javed _______________________________________________________________ Kevin Carney. Nov. 11, 2019 We are Unit 8 (Kevin and Vanessa Carney), we oppose this request. This permit to provide the sale and consumption of alcohol is detrimental to the community that exists at Sea View Villas. As it currently stands, residents at Sea View Villas are suffering from noise levels and adding a late-night permit with alcohol will only make it worse. Young residents should not have to witness that environment while they attempt to sleep in their homes. The city should be willing to understand that the selfish desire of the hotel owners to seek additional revenues comes at a major cost, both financially and socially, to a large community. Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________ 128 5 Robert Irrera. Nov. 11, 2019 Against the issuance of a Permit to serve Beer & Wine to The Hotel Hermosa due to the very close proximity of the adjacent Units’ 2 small East Facing bedrooms. These bedrooms are generally used by the households children who would now be 16 feet away from an active Bar / Social Club ! Robert Irrera Unit # 10 ________________________________________________________________ Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki. Nov. 11, 2019 We live in Unit 31 which is only 20 feet away from the patio where alcohol would be consumed if this permit was granted. We strongly oppose the approval. I am sure no one from the city council would like having a bar 20 feet from their bedrooms. This was already turned down once by the city. Nothing has changed. Please turn it down again. Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki _____________________________________________________________________________ Liz Romo. Nov. 11, 2019 Hello - Quite frankly, the granting of the license to the hotel would create a severe “nuisance in fact” and impede my right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of my property - which is my home. Not to mention the fact that I’ve personally witnessed teenagers sneaking into the pool area countless of times...propping doors open by the pool! It is obvious that hotel owner can’t control that issue, so how will they control the loud noise and potential underage drinking that may result from the granting of a liquor license? Has the city considered the budgetary impacts on city resources, such as the Hermosa Beach Police Department to manage and control the number of complaints that will surely arise from this? The answer is simple: the only way to Keep Hermosa, Hermosa is to keep the bars away from residential neighbors such as those living in Sea View Villas. Liz Romo Unit #15 _____________________________________________________________ 129 6 Kate and Tim Bruning. Nov. 11, 2019 We live at Sea View Villas in unit 25, which is on the upper level, directly on the other side of the fence from Hotel Hermosa. We have a 9 year old and are already often kept awake by the noise from the pool area. Management of the hotel does not seem to care about the level of noise that occurs at their hotel We have called on more than one occasion when we felt the noise level at the pool has been excessive, and no action is ever taken. I often have to close the kitchen or bedroom windows when someone is having a conversation on their cell phone or smoking on the walkway next to Hotel Hermosa on the other side of the fence. That is how close our windows are to the hotel property. The noise levels would increase exponentially if alcohol is permitted to be sold at the hotel and on the back patio. This is not the proper location for what would essentially be an outdoor bar. We strongly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect the rights of the surrounding residents and reject this request. Thank you, Kate and Tim Bruning Unit 25 _________________________________________________________________ Heidi Swan. Nov. 11, 2019 We oppose The Hotel Hermosa's request to serve alcohol. It is an unfair burden on residents of Sea View Villas to have alcohol & all of the added noise that comes with it only feet away from children who need their sleep. The noise resonates. Heidi Swan, Unit #6 ________________________________________________________________________ Ali Navab. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in unit No. 13 and we strongly oppose Hotel Hermosa‘s Application to serve Alcohol ,which will create lots of noise and this will reduce the value of our property. The new Conditional use Application should not apply in this case because it causes excess burden on the others. _______________________________________________________________ 130 7 Henry Mothner. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit #9 at Sea View Villas. I have serious concerns regarding the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment requested by Hotel Hermosa. I frequently take evening walks in the neighborhood and there is always loud noise coming from the hotel and pool area. This will only be exacerbated by allowing the on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine at Hotel Hermosa. I strongly urge the City of Hermosa Beach to deny this request. Henry Mothner Unit #9 _______________________________________________________________ Houman Solomon. Nov. 12, 2019 We have had significant noise issues at the hotel since the current owners took over. My kitchen window, front door and one bedroom face the hotel patio directly. Noise from hotel patio is an everyday occurrence. Summer time is particularly worse since we need windows to stay open and the hotel has more guests. I have had to call the hotel front desk numerous times to complain about noise. I have also had to call the Hermosa beach police department when the management don't respond promptly. The hotel looks the other way when guests drink alcoholic beverages in the patio. In fact, the front desk tells the guests where to buy alcohol in the neighborhood. I know this because I went and ask the front desk myself!! The hotel is surrounded by residential units and that must be respected. We tolerate a lot of noise from hotel guests playing games, talking loud on the balconies and drinking alcohol (despite the rules) at all times of day and night. Serving alcohol on their patio will add significant noise and is completely unfair to those of us living next to the hotel. Houman Solomon Unit 30 ______________________________________________________________________ Ronit Larone. Nov. 12, 2019 Sea View Villas has been my family’s home for over 20 years. It’s a peaceful oasis and community where many of us have raised, or are currently raising our children. Others of us are retired, others work long days all over LA and look forward to resting quietly once back home. If Hotel Hermosa is allowed to sell alcohol and invite large gatherings from dawn to close, the additional noise alone will greatly disturb us all and negatively impact our daily life. The proposed location would keep the children and parents alike, who live on the upper level, awake at night. There's an additional risk of bar patrons "hanging out" after the bar closes and being very loud outside of the hotel on Gould Ave or additional areas where more of our units are facing. We (Unit #11) adamantly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, 131 8 service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect our community and the families who live and sleep mere feet away from the Hotel Hermosa patio and reject this request. Thank you, Ronit Larone, Unit # 11 ________________________________________________________________________ Jerry Gelbwachs. Nov. 11,2019 I am a long time resident of Seaview Villas. One of the attractive features of living in the complex is the quietness. Even though it is near PCH there is very little street noise that penetrates the units. I am afraid that allowing late night noise from the hotel which abuts our complex would add additional noise that would negatively affect our tranquillity. Additionally it would reduce our property values. Hence I am strongly against the CPU. Jerry Gelbwachs, unit 20 132 670 Gould Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254 November 13, 2019 Planning Comissioners City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION TO DENY CUP 19-9 & PARK 19-6 CUP and PARKING PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST TO PROVIDE ONSITE and OUTDOORS SALE, SERVICE and CONSUMPTION of BEER and WINE AT AN EXISTING 81 ROOM HOTEL AT 2515 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (HOTEL HERMOSA) Dear City Planning Commissioners: As addressed in my previous October 12, 2015, February 6 and August 20, 2016 letters to the city's planning Commission when Hotel Hermosa Remodel was first presented at October 20, 2015 meeting; my primary and only concern with the proposed project was and still is the lack of existing code-required onsite parking for the hotel's current use. This hotel currently (since the remodel 3 years ago) still has only 64 onsite parking stalls for 81 rooms of hotel guests, 3 onsite ADA parking stalls for disabled Guests (unclear if any of these three ADA spaces is van-accessible as required by Title 24) and 4 parking stalls outside the main hotel door, two of which are clearly marked "Registration Only" and the other two of which are marked "Compact"............. I might also again mention that the underground parking garage appears to have been totally ignored during the $4.5M upgrade. They did not even bother to freshen up the striping of the parking spaces! The garage continues to still look extremely dirty and neglected. City's Municipal Code Section 17.44.030 Off-street parking--Commercial and business uses. Required Number of Spaces by Use. The aggregate amount of off-street automobile parking spaces provided for various uses shall not be less than the following: 133 Page 2 of 2 Hermosa Beach Hotel Appeal November 13, 2019 H. Hotels: one (1) space for each unit for the first fifty (50) units; one (1) space per one (1) and one-half (1/2) units after fifty (50); (Equates to 71 off- street spaces required for Hermosa Beach Hotel under it's current use) It should also be noted that a number of the aforementioned 64 parking spaces appear to be continuously/regularly occupied by hotel staff and/or hotel contractors/maintenance personnel? Over the last 16 years; it is quite noticeable whenever Hermosa Hotel holds a "function" in their hotel such as the Chamber of Commerce parties. The overflow of function attendees' cars spill onto the south-side of Gould Avenue all the way from PCH to Ardmore Avenue very often encroaching onto residents' driveways. Please do not approve any CUP and Parking Plan Amendment that does not include a)the required number of correctly dimensioned onsite guest parking spaces for the hotel (71) in addition to b)the required number of correctly dimensioned onsite ADA guest parking spaces (auto and van- accessible) in addition to any separately c)"hotel-required" reserved parking and/or registration spaces for hotel employees/contractors and/or hotel operations. I would also like to bring to your attention the fact that yet again (as is typical with Hermosa Beach notifications) I did not receive notice of this upcoming meeting until Friday November 9, less than a week before the scheduled Planning Commission meeting on November 15 and hence did not have sufficient time to have this letter included in your package.

We are strongly opposed to alcohol being served next to our homes and quite literally backed up to and on top of some of our residence City zoning was established to protect homeowner and protect businesses in their proper locations. Bars and Restaurants are in certain areas of a city a decent distance from homes - people’s sanctuaries. To arrive 30 years later and decide to change that is preposterous. Clearly if approved this will significantly impede on residence rightful expectation of peace and privacy. This is slippery slope that once allowed with grow into music on the patio, weddings, Bachelorette parties. It’s a great idea- just needs to be somewhere else - not next door to families and residents who have lived here for 30+ years. Thank you. ___________________________________________________________________- 155 3 Patrick Marona. Nov. 11, 2019 City of Hermosa Beach: I STRONGLY OPPOSE the issue of a liquor license to the Hotel Hermosa. This would cause way too much noise as we are just a few feet away. This would also decrease our property values. Patrick Marona Unit 18 ______________________________________________________________________ Rosemary Reinhardt. Nov. 11, 2019 I am Rosemary Reinhardt & my husband, Robert & I own & reside at Sea View Villas, unit 29. Our unit is on the upper level, east side, facing Hotel Hermosa. Our kitchen & one of our bedrooms face the hotel. We hear the thud, thud, thud of the hotel guests playing cornhole quite often. As far as I know, the game is set up directly behind the wall which borders our property line. The thud is usually followed by loud screams & cheers, etc. I’m all for people having fun but combine that activity with beer & wine & that sounds like a tailgate experience right outside of our bedroom window. Therefore, we strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. _______________________________________________________________ Brian Anstey. Nov. 11, 2019 My wife and I own Unit # 23, on the Upper Level, and are directly affected by our proximity to the hotel. We strongly agree with our fellow owners that the introduction of alcohol sales will contribute to raising the noise levels not only on the patio, but also from the pool area, and increase the negative effects on our rights to peace and privacy. We, therefore, strongly object to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Brian & Ita Anstey _____________________________________________________________________ Deborah Torres. Nov. 11, 2019 I own unit #33, on the upper level directly behind the hotel. The wall that the Hotel added has stopped the hotel guests' car lights from shining into my windows, but unfortunately the noise from the patio for most of the year is still loud and disruptive. I have been woken up countless times late or in the middle of the night from Hotel guests who seemingly have come back from local bars and are 156 4 continuing their party outside our windows. This occurs most weekends and several times each week during warm months. Although the hotel assured us that they would monitor their guests to avoid this type of disturbance, they have yet to do so. The hotel guests already drink outside, which we can see when they sit along the patio ledge with their beer and wine bottles. The sale of alcohol added to this, combined with the large number of people permitted to be on the patio, would significantly worsen the noise problem that has occurred since Hotel Hermosa created a large social space on their patio outside our bedroom windows. I strongly oppose the Hotel getting a CUP to allow the sale and consumption of beer and wine, both indoors and outdoors. _____________________________________________________________________ Rakhshanda Javed-Ghaffar. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit 26 directly behind Hotel Hermosa. I oppose the issuance of a liquor license due to the disturbance of residents living in Sea View Villas especially those units directly parallel to the hotel. There is already noise that transcends from the pool area and back walkway when guests are at the hotel. Allowing alcohol sales would increase the noise in addition to the rowdiness of guests who may become overly intoxicated. Due to these reasons, I oppose the license to sell alcohol of any kind at Hotel Hermosa. Ruby Javed _______________________________________________________________ Kevin Carney. Nov. 11, 2019 We are Unit 8 (Kevin and Vanessa Carney), we oppose this request. This permit to provide the sale and consumption of alcohol is detrimental to the community that exists at Sea View Villas. As it currently stands, residents at Sea View Villas are suffering from noise levels and adding a late-night permit with alcohol will only make it worse. Young residents should not have to witness that environment while they attempt to sleep in their homes. The city should be willing to understand that the selfish desire of the hotel owners to seek additional revenues comes at a major cost, both financially and socially, to a large community. Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________ 157 5 Robert Irrera. Nov. 11, 2019 Against the issuance of a Permit to serve Beer & Wine to The Hotel Hermosa due to the very close proximity of the adjacent Units’ 2 small East Facing bedrooms. These bedrooms are generally used by the households children who would now be 16 feet away from an active Bar / Social Club ! Robert Irrera Unit # 10 ________________________________________________________________ Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki. Nov. 11, 2019 We live in Unit 31 which is only 20 feet away from the patio where alcohol would be consumed if this permit was granted. We strongly oppose the approval. I am sure no one from the city council would like having a bar 20 feet from their bedrooms. This was already turned down once by the city. Nothing has changed. Please turn it down again. Jeff Press and Eileen Kadowaki _____________________________________________________________________________ Liz Romo. Nov. 11, 2019 Hello - Quite frankly, the granting of the license to the hotel would create a severe “nuisance in fact” and impede my right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of my property - which is my home. Not to mention the fact that I’ve personally witnessed teenagers sneaking into the pool area countless of times...propping doors open by the pool! It is obvious that hotel owner can’t control that issue, so how will they control the loud noise and potential underage drinking that may result from the granting of a liquor license? Has the city considered the budgetary impacts on city resources, such as the Hermosa Beach Police Department to manage and control the number of complaints that will surely arise from this? The answer is simple: the only way to Keep Hermosa, Hermosa is to keep the bars away from residential neighbors such as those living in Sea View Villas. Liz Romo Unit #15 _____________________________________________________________ 158 6 Kate and Tim Bruning. Nov. 11, 2019 We live at Sea View Villas in unit 25, which is on the upper level, directly on the other side of the fence from Hotel Hermosa. We have a 9 year old and are already often kept awake by the noise from the pool area. Management of the hotel does not seem to care about the level of noise that occurs at their hotel We have called on more than one occasion when we felt the noise level at the pool has been excessive, and no action is ever taken. I often have to close the kitchen or bedroom windows when someone is having a conversation on their cell phone or smoking on the walkway next to Hotel Hermosa on the other side of the fence. That is how close our windows are to the hotel property. The noise levels would increase exponentially if alcohol is permitted to be sold at the hotel and on the back patio. This is not the proper location for what would essentially be an outdoor bar. We strongly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect the rights of the surrounding residents and reject this request. Thank you, Kate and Tim Bruning Unit 25 _________________________________________________________________ Heidi Swan. Nov. 11, 2019 We oppose The Hotel Hermosa's request to serve alcohol. It is an unfair burden on residents of Sea View Villas to have alcohol & all of the added noise that comes with it only feet away from children who need their sleep. The noise resonates. Heidi Swan, Unit #6 ________________________________________________________________________ Ali Navab. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in unit No. 13 and we strongly oppose Hotel Hermosa‘s Application to serve Alcohol ,which will create lots of noise and this will reduce the value of our property. The new Conditional use Application should not apply in this case because it causes excess burden on the others. _______________________________________________________________ 159 7 Henry Mothner. Nov. 11, 2019 I live in Unit #9 at Sea View Villas. I have serious concerns regarding the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment requested by Hotel Hermosa. I frequently take evening walks in the neighborhood and there is always loud noise coming from the hotel and pool area. This will only be exacerbated by allowing the on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine at Hotel Hermosa. I strongly urge the City of Hermosa Beach to deny this request. Henry Mothner Unit #9 _______________________________________________________________ Houman Solomon. Nov. 12, 2019 We have had significant noise issues at the hotel since the current owners took over. My kitchen window, front door and one bedroom face the hotel patio directly. Noise from hotel patio is an everyday occurrence. Summer time is particularly worse since we need windows to stay open and the hotel has more guests. I have had to call the hotel front desk numerous times to complain about noise. I have also had to call the Hermosa beach police department when the management don't respond promptly. The hotel looks the other way when guests drink alcoholic beverages in the patio. In fact, the front desk tells the guests where to buy alcohol in the neighborhood. I know this because I went and ask the front desk myself!! The hotel is surrounded by residential units and that must be respected. We tolerate a lot of noise from hotel guests playing games, talking loud on the balconies and drinking alcohol (despite the rules) at all times of day and night. Serving alcohol on their patio will add significant noise and is completely unfair to those of us living next to the hotel. Houman Solomon Unit 30 ______________________________________________________________________ Ronit Larone. Nov. 12, 2019 Sea View Villas has been my family’s home for over 20 years. It’s a peaceful oasis and community where many of us have raised, or are currently raising our children. Others of us are retired, others work long days all over LA and look forward to resting quietly once back home. If Hotel Hermosa is allowed to sell alcohol and invite large gatherings from dawn to close, the additional noise alone will greatly disturb us all and negatively impact our daily life. The proposed location would keep the children and parents alike, who live on the upper level, awake at night. There's an additional risk of bar patrons "hanging out" after the bar closes and being very loud outside of the hotel on Gould Ave or additional areas where more of our units are facing. We (Unit #11) adamantly oppose the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Hotel Hermosa to provide on-site sale, 160 8 service, & consumption of beer & wine. Please respect our community and the families who live and sleep mere feet away from the Hotel Hermosa patio and reject this request. Thank you, Ronit Larone, Unit # 11 ________________________________________________________________________ Jerry Gelbwachs. Nov. 11,2019 I am a long time resident of Seaview Villas. One of the attractive features of living in the complex is the quietness. Even though it is near PCH there is very little street noise that penetrates the units. I am afraid that allowing late night noise from the hotel which abuts our complex would add additional noise that would negatively affect our tranquillity. Additionally it would reduce our property values. Hence I am strongly against the CPU.

Meeting: Planning Commission Item: 11. REPORT 19-0780 CUP 19-9 & PARK 19-6- Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment request to provide on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa) located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). eComment: Good evening members. I am sorry I could not attend in person as this request is a material concern that will have an immediate negative impact on my family's well being...and will effect us every single day and, even worse, every night. The weight of such impact I hope is not being overlooked by the Commission members who are not the ones that will be impacted. Please, truly consider the weight of what you are considering...and what is gained vs lost…and who gains vs who loses. We are a family with two young children and we strongly oppose any consideration for the subject use permit. This permit serves NO COMMUNITY BENEFIT, while simultaneously causing a significant detriment to its neighboring homeowners. It is a ridiculous argument to suggest that allowing the hotel to serve alcohol would not directly increase the number of people, the amount of time people hang out at the hotel, noise, smoking, foul language, etc. The Planning Commission needs to recognize that this specific hotel design and layout is DIFFERENT than a normal hotel, and as such nothing about their request is “routine.” This hotel’s primary outdoor space is literally touching a residential home community with several families consisting of young children. This hotel’s outdoor activity space layout is uncommon. If this hotel was to be built today, there is no way the developer or the city would ever approve such a design. If there was an outdoor activity space it would be designed to have it face either PCH or Artesia/Gould. I am sure there is a history as to why a hotel was designed this way next to residential homes, but, whatever that story is, we are a much more experienced and thoughtful community today. As an example, the owner, Pacifica Hotels, also owns or manages the The Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach. Although this hotel has neighboring residences, they are 1) across the street and 2) the outdoor activity space faces PCH and the adjacent commercial building...thereby shielding the residences from the issues we are discussing today. The layout of Hotel Hermosa is DIFFERENT and the uniqueness of its issues cannot be ignored or treated as normal course of business. The owners bought the hotel knowing there was no alcohol being served. We purchased our homes to raise our family knowing that the hotel did not serve alcohol and, in fact, used to be a peaceful Japanese garden. It was disappointing when the new owners removed the Japanese garden, but I understand why and that was their right. I was disappointed in how they ended up designing the outdoor space to include loud games and offered seating underneath our windows...this simply showed a lack of respect, but was still their 183 right. However, serving alcohol is not their right! It would be a “spit in the face” to give them such right when there is no public benefit and it literally will further exacerbate an already challenging issue for multiple families that abut their property. Hermosa Beach as a community will be in no way negatively impacted by rejecting this request. If approved, however, a material part of the community will absolutely be negatively affected. Maybe I am naïve, but it would seem that the efforts of our elected city officials should be to help and protect against unnecessary nuisance...not taking steps to increase it. The hotel does not “need” this; the City of Hermosa does not “need” this. So why is it so important to help a private company, operating a hotel well outside the Downtown and Pier locations, increase their profits at the cost of our daily livelihood? There is always some opposition to change and the Planning Commission has the daunting task of having to thoughtfully build out our community needs with the underlying consideration of the impact on the residents. This is not a case of NIMBYism. We are the residents who would truly lose safety, health and right to peaceful living. This is not a hotel like any other…this is a special situation. Please have some consideration for the many families will be directly impacted every single day and every single night. This is DIFFERENT and needs to be treated as such. __________________________________________________________________________________________ From: noreply@granicusideas.com [mailto:noreply@granicusideas.com] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2019 4:59 AM To: DG_PlanningCommission <DG_PlanningCommission@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: New eComment for Planning Commission New eComment for Planning Commission Vanessa D submitted a new eComment.

REPORT 19-0780 CUP 19-9 & PARK 19-6- Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan amendment request to provide on-site sale, service and consumption of beer and wine indoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and outdoors Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa) located at 2515 Pacific Coast Highway, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). eComment: Hi. I am an owner and a mother that lives next door to the Hotel Hermosa. I am not able to attend the hearing because I have to watch my children. I read the hotel’s CUP request and I want to make sure you know that is filled with lies. They say they have worked with the 184 surrounding community, but they have not. And the wall they mentioned did help two owners with driveway lights, but the wall was only put up after we were able to regularly take videos and photos of all the problems we were having. The wall did not serve our benefit, but only theirs. So you can understand a little bit of what we deal with today. To this date, the owners of Hotel Hermosa have failed to control even the most basic issues like smoking on the patio and excessive noise. It is a regular occurrence that their guests smoke cigarettes and throw the cigarette butts over the fence to my front door. The smoke itself is so close it flows directly into my home, specifically directly into my kitchen and directly into my children's bedroom! The hotel has been unable to manage even the tiniest smoke problem area. It is common for guests to throw their cigarette butts over the fence where they land in my front door. My youngest at one time put a cigarette butt in his mouth because he thought it was gum. The issue is an almost daily occurrence. Even today, the noise at the hotel continues late at night and wakes up my children. My kids also hear profanity and inappropriate conversations from the guests (this is how close we are). I can't tell you how many times my children have been awoken late at night by the screaming. We spent years calling the police who were unable to do anything and told us they could not enforce anything on private property. I sometimes yell at the guests directly to quit and leave. I often call the hotel directly and ask for help. I doubt the hotel shares this with the police. The hotel has already proved they do not care about us. They installed some of the loudest possible games outside our windows and they literally lined the wall facing our home with chairs and seating. This is a really big deal because it happens every day and every night, and if you add alcohol it will only get worse. Recently there was some opposition to re-opening the North School campus from the neighbors. Their main concern was that they would be negatively impacted by traffic. Without meaning to belittle their concerns, such traffic nuisance is limited to daytime hours and often with only a couple of hours of high impact. Otherwise those neighbors will be able to sleep at night and they do not have to worry about evening noise, cigarette smoke, trash, foul language at all times of the night. And it was for schools to help our kids. This request is for drinking alcohol which definitely does not help our kids. I do not understand how the Planning Commission can already be considering approving this request when no one has come to talk to us. The hotel says they have, but they haven’t. I understand why they don’t want to talk to us. We chose to live in a quiet area away from the bars and we do not want our peace ruined. But shouldn’t members of the Planning Commission meet with us to better understand what we are suffering through now and what we are concerned about? 185 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of November 19, 2018 CUP 19-3- Conditional Use Permit Amendment request to remove an existing unpermitted rooftop wireless telecommunication facility and locate wireless communication antennas (AT&T Mobility) on the façade of the building within new screening boxes. This request also includes permitting all related telecommunication and support equipment on the building at 2447 Pacific Coast Highway, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).A public hearing on this matter was previously conducted on July 16, 2019 and continued by the Planning Commission without taking action. Applicant:Chris Pell on behalf of AT&T Mobility 1452 Edinger Avenue, 3rd Floor Tustin, CA 92780 Owner:2447 Pacific Coast Highway, LLC 2235 Campus Drive El Segundo, CA 90245 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving Conditional Use Permit Amendment 19-3, to remove an existing unpermitted rooftop wireless telecommunication facility and locate wireless communication antennas (AT&T Mobility) on the façade of the building within new screening boxes at 2447 Pacific Coast Highway, and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: ZONING:Specific Plan Area No. 8 (SPA-8) GENERAL PLAN:Commercial Corridor LOT SIZE:15,136.8 Square Feet BUILDING HEIGHT EXISTING:Approximately 37’ BUILDING HEIGHT PROPOSED:No change Located at the southwest corner of 24th Place and the Pacific Coast Highway, the project site is improved with an existing multi-tenant general office building. The office building consists of two floors of office space and two levels of subterranean parking. The office spaces can be accessed City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 9 powered by Legistar™186 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 through the main building entrance on Pacific Coast Highway; whereas, vehicle access to the parking is on 24th Place. AT&T currently has nine antennas on the roof of the subject site, which are not screened from view (see Figure 1). A review of City records has shown these antennas in this location are unpermitted and do not align with the terms of the CUP that is on file for a wireless facility at this location. The previous entitlement history can be found in the staff report for the July 16, 2019 Planning Commission hearing. A copy of the report can be found at: <https://hermosabeach.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4060362&GUID=FE7EE3A3-0360- 4F5D-817C-61931F5A3820> Figure 1 AT&T is now requesting to remove these antennas and mount 12 antennas (three sectors, four antennas per sector) to the façade of the building. This will involve relocating some of the antennas from the roof to the façade, removing obsolete antennas, and adding new antennas. In previous staff reports, staff referred to this application as a modification to an existing facility; however, referring to the wireless facility in this manner may have been confusing. Given the fact that the existing antennas appear to be unpermitted and are not located on the roof in the manner that is allowed City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 9 powered by Legistar™187 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 under the CUP, it is more appropriate to refer to the application as removing the unpermitted antennas and locating new antennas on the façade of the building. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on July 16, 2019, at which the applicant and three public speakers addressed the Commission. The public speakers expressed concerns about the facilities compliance with health effects of the site, compliance with FCC regulations, what alternative sites have be analyzed, the CEQA determination, view impacts, and why the City was allowing permitting an after-the-fact approval of the facility. Each of these concerns is discussed below in the analysis portion of this report. In considering wireless communication facilities, the City must comply with Federal regulations. These rules limit the City’s authority for reviewing wireless siting to compliance with zoning regulations and aesthetics. The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) jurisdiction preempts the City from considering potential health impacts. Furthermore, the FCC has set a 150-day shot clock, in which the City must act on a wireless application. A failure to render a decision within the 150 days is considered a presumptive prohibition against wireless facilities. This would allow the applicant to seek injunctive relief against the City. The application was submitted on March 5, 2019; however, the shot clock was paused on April 4, 2019 when the initial submittal was deemed incomplete. The shot clock started again upon the applicant’s resubmittal of the application on May 1, 2019. Due to the Planning Commission’s continuation, the applicant agreed to pause the shot clock on July 29, 2019, which will resume on November 19, 2019 (unless the applicant agrees to further pause the shot clock). The application processing time is currently at 119 days, thus final action needs to be rendered no later than December 20, 2019. Analysis: Currently there are nine antennas (three sectors, three antennas per sector) on the roof of the building. Since they are unpermitted and exceed the maximum height, they are not allowed to remain. The applicant is proposing to remove the unpermitted antennas on the roof and façade mount antennas to the building. This proposal will increase the number of antennas at the site to 12 (three sectors, four antennas per sector). The antennas will be screened from view with the use of non-reflective lattice screening boxes mounted on the northeast, southeast, and west sides of the existing building (see Figure 2). City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 9 powered by Legistar™188 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 Figure 2 In addition to the antennas, the proposal will include roof-mounted support equipment (RRUS, surge suppresser, etc) and a 175 square foot equipment room located at the basement/garage level of the building. The roof mounted support equipment will not extend above the height of the existing parapets. The proposed wireless facility complies with all of the requirements of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, with no request for Variance or other deviation. During the July 16, 2019, the following concerns/questions were raised: ·Health impacts: Members of the public expressed concerns with the potential of health impacts by those working in the adjacent office building, located at 2401 Pacific Coast Highway. Federal regulations preempt the City from considering any environmental effect of radio frequency (RF) transmission when considering an application for a wireless facility. Specifically, 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(iv) states, “No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions.” Instead, the Planning Commission’s jurisdiction in this action is limited to if the proposed site complies with local zoning regulations and the aesthetics of the wireless facility. Nevertheless, the applicant had previously submitted a Radio Frequency Safety Survey City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 9 powered by Legistar™189 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 Report Prediction (dated, June 13, 2019) that demonstrates the site does not create a health hazard to the surrounding area. This report is technical in nature, so the applicant’s radio frequency consultant has also prepared a summary letter that explains the report’s findings. The report demonstrates the adjoining site will be below the allowed RF exposure limits set by the FCC. As an example, the rooftop of 2401 Pacific Coast Highway will be at 27.3% of the maximum daily allowable exposure. Interior spaces within the structure will be much lower due to loss of signal caused by building materials and the greater distance from the antennas. The report, however, does note the rooftop of the project site (2447 Pacific Coast Highway) will exceed the allowable daily exposure limits. Since the roof of the building is not a public accessible area, FCC regulations allow the applicant to install warning signs and barriers to limit access. If the property owner needs to perform maintenance, they will contact the wireless company to coordinate the work. ·Compliance with FCC regulations: As previously noted, the applicant has submitted a report that demonstrates the wireless facility will operate within the FCC allowable exposure limits. Additionally, staff is recommending a condition of approval that requires the applicant to submit a Radio Frequency (RF) Environmental Evaluation Report within ten days of obtaining building permit final for the site. The proposed condition of approval also requires the applicant to recertify the site complies with FCC requirements every two years. ·Alternative sites analysis: When the applicant removes the unpermitted antennas, AT&T will have a gap in their coverage for the area. To fill this gap, the applicant conducted an alternative site analysis. The intent of the analysis is to find an appropriate site the meets the RF Engineer’s requirements to fill the gap, can meet zoning regulations, and has a willing property owner that will enter into a long-term lease with AT&T. The applicant looked at eight sites (the project site plus seven alternative sites). The project site is the most feasible site since it can meet the demand, complies with all zoning code requirements, and AT&T has an existing lease for the site. ·CEQA exemption: The concern raised during the public hearing is why the project was determined to be exempt from CEQA without conducting further analysis. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the City to analyze projects for potential environmental impacts before an action to approve or deny is taken. While this may include a variety of potential impacts, it is important to reiterate that Federal regulations preempt the City from considering impacts from radio frequency. The first step in the CEQA process is to determine if the request is a project under CEQA, this is followed by a comparison of projects that are exempt from CEQA. The allowed exemptions are projects that the State has determined will have either a de minimis or no impact to the environment. If a project qualifies for an exemption, no further study is warranted. Staff’s complete CEQA analysis is contained below in the Environmental Determination section of this report. The Planning Commission will note that staff is of the opinion that this project will qualify for an exemption from requirements of CEQA and that there is nothing unusual about City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 9 powered by Legistar™190 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 these wireless antennas on an existing building that would cause a significant impact to the environment or a change to the physical environment. These antennas are very common, a conditionally permitted use and since there are already nine antennas on the site, this is a slight increase in the amount of antennas with an aesthetic improvement. ·View impacts: It was expressed that the proposed screen boxes would block the view of the ocean from the properties located across Pacific Coast Highway. The city does not have a view protection ordinance, thus concerns about view are not taken into consideration. Nevertheless, PLAN Hermosa (the City’s General Plan) discusses public viewpoints and public view corridors (see attached map). According to the General Plan, the only public viewpoint that looks over the site is from the corner of Longfellow and Sepulveda, which overlooks the city towards the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Removing the unpermitted antennas from the roof and placing antennas on the façade will not affect the view. ·Approval of unpermitted antennas: Since the current antennas do not have building permits, the site appears to be in violation of the Zoning and Building Codes. As with all code violations, the City’s goal is to achieve compliance. This application includes locating the antennas and all related equipment in a manner that is compliant with the zoning code and obtaining the necessary land use entitlement (and an aesthetic improvement compared to the existing conditions). The proposal is permitted under the HBMC. Should the Planning Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit, the applicant will be able to obtain building permits to bring the wireless facility into compliance with all of the City’s regulations. In addition to the above concerns, the Planning Commission expressed concerns about the findings needed to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the wireless facility. Accordingly, staff reanalyzed the findings. 1.The extent to which the proposed facility blends into the surrounding environment or is architecturally integrated into a concealing structure, taking into consideration alternate sites that are available.This proposal will remove the unscreened antennas from the roof of the building and place antennas on the façade of the building. To integrate the antennas into the building’s architecture, the applicant proposes utilize screen boxes that match the existing architectural features of the building, an aesthetic improvement compared to the existing conditions. 2.The extent to which the proposed facility is screened or camouflaged by existing or proposed new topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures. The proposed antennas will be screened by a non-reflective architectural lattice. The proposed screening boxes will match the existing horizontal wood pickets with tubular steel frame and painted to match the existing building. All existing and proposed support equipment will be located below the existing building parapet wall or within a 175 square foot equipment room located on the basement/parking floor level, an aesthetic improvement compared to the existing conditions. 3.The total size of the proposed facility, particularly in relation to surrounding and supporting structures. The proposal will locate three sectors (four antennas per sector) on City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 6 of 9 powered by Legistar™191 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 the façade of the building. Each of the north, south, and west facades will contain one sector. The antennas and screening will project 3’ from the existing façade, which is the minimum that can accommodate the size of the antennas and screening. Since the applicant has kept the size of the facility to the minimum required to physically accommodate the equipment, and it is an appropriate scale of an architectural feature for the building, it is consistent with the building and surrounding area. 4.The availability of suitable alternative locations for the facility. As part of the application, the applicant submitted an alternative site analysis, in which they reviewed seven other potential sites in the area to reduce the gap in services. The project site was the most feasible site that can meet RF requirements, comply with zoning, and has a willing property owner. 5.Preference shall be given to facilities located on publicly owned structures, co-location and shared sites.A review of the area indicates there are no public structures in the vicinity that can accommodate the macro-cell site. Additionally as part of the alternative site analysis, the applicant looked at collocating with another carrier in the area. The existing wireless facilities in the area do not meet the RF requirements to fill this gap in coverage. 6.Preference shall be given to sites, which are not located along primary street frontage, front yard areas or adjacent to residential uses.The primary street frontage is Pacific Coast Highway, which is on the east side of the building. No antennas are proposed for this façade. Antennas are proposed on the north side of the building, facing 24th Place. While 24th Place contains residential properties, vehicle access to these properties is not accessible from Pacific Coast Highway. The primary purpose of this portion of 24th Place is to access the parking for the project site. Furthermore, the antennas are proposed on the eastern portion of the façade, facing an office building, and are properly screened, which is an aesthetic improvement compared to the existing conditions. 7.Whenever possible, wireless communication facilities should be located on existing buildings, existing poles, or other existing support structures.The facility will be located on an existing building, thereby avoiding the need to install a new support structure. Environmental Determination: Staff has reviewed the proposed application for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. It has been determined that the proposed project qualifies for a Categorically Exemption pursuant to Guideline Section 15303 (Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). Class 3 exemptions include the installation of small new equipment and facilities, such as the proposed wireless antennas. General Plan Consistency: Chapter 7 of the PLAN Hermosa (Infrastructure) states that telecommunication systems support advanced and innovative communication methods between residents, businesses, visitors, and the City. Telecommunications infrastructure and services are critical to businesses for economic growth and job creation. Residents rely on telecommunications for quality of life, education, research, and access to health care and government services. Telecommunications services in Hermosa Beach City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 7 of 9 powered by Legistar™192 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 include cable television, high speed Internet, and wireless and ground-line telephone services. A variety of private companies provides these services and have infrastructure located throughout the City to provide consistent and reliable telecommunication services to the community. The proposed wireless facility has been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan and it implements the following PLAN Hermosa goals and policies:Infrastructure 1.1 Infrastructure systems plan, 1.5 new technologies, 1.6 Utility Infrastructure Siting, 1.7 Aesthetic and urban form, 7.1 Accommodate future technologies, 7.2 Appropriate siting of telecommunications infrastructure, 7.3 Co-location of facilities, 7.5 Access for all. There is nothing in this approval that would impede general plan goals and this proposal will remove an unpermitted condition and replace it with a conforming project that is in line with the vision in the General Plan. Summary: Due to Federal regulations, the City’s review and approval of wireless facilities is limited to compliance with zoning regulations and aesthetics of the facility. This proposal will include removing unpermitted wireless antennas from the roof of the building and providing appropriately screened antennas on the north, west, and south building facades. The applicant has expressed the site is needed to avoid a gap in service for AT&T. The antennas will be screened from view with the use of architectural lattice that is compatible with the building. Based on the analysis contained in this report and the July 16, 2019 Planning Commission staff report, staff is concluding the wireless facility will comply with all of the zoning code requirements and is proposed with an appropriate architectural screen. As such, is recommending the Planning Commission approve the requested Conditional Use Permit Attachments: 1.Draft Resolution 2.Alternative Site Analysis 3.RF Safety Survey Report Prediction 4.Photo Simulations 5.Public Viewpoint Map from PLAN Hermosa 6.Planning Commission staff report dated June 18, 2019 7.Planning Commission staff report dated July 16, 2019 8.Planning Commission staff report dated August 20, 2019 9.Planning Commission staff report dated October 15, 2019 10.Planning Commission Action Minutes dated June 18, 2019 11.Planning Commission Action Minutes dated July 16, 2019 12.Planning Commission Action Minutes dated August 20, 2019 13.Draft Planning Commission Action Minutes dated October 15, 2019 14.Letters from applicant pausing Wireless Shot Clock 15.Legal Poster and Radius Map 16.Zoning Map and Aerial Photo 17.Site Photos 18.Public Correspondence Received Respectfully Submitted by: David Blumenthal, AICP, Senior Planner City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 8 of 9 powered by Legistar™193 Staff Report REPORT 19-0782 Approved: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 9 of 9 powered by Legistar™194 1 P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 19-XXXX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT FOR A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY (AT&T) TO BE LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST, SOUTHEAST AND WEST FACADES OF THE EXISTING 3RD LEVEL PARAPET BUILDING WALLS AND A 175 SQUARE FEET EQUIPMENT ROOM ON THE GARAGE BASEMENT LEVEL AT 2447 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 5 TO 10, BLOCK 2, MONTMARIE TRACT. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: SECTION 1. An application was filed by Chris Pell, on behalf of AT&T, seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit amendment (CUP 19-3) for a wireless telecommunications facility (AT&T) pursuant to the requirements of Sections 17.40.020 and 17.40.170 of Zoning Ordinance on March 5, 2019. SECTION 2. Pursuant to Government Code § 65943, the City of Hermosa Beach completed the initial review of CUP 19-3 on April 4, 2019. At this time, the application was deemed incomplete due to incorrect information on the project plans. The applicant resubmitted CUP 19-3 to the City of Hermosa Beach on May 1, 2019. SECTION 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on July 16, 2019, to consider the application for Conditional Use Permit CUP 19-3 at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted to continue the public hearing and directed staff to provide additional information regarding the operation of the wireless facility. SECTION 4. Federal regulations set a 150-day shot clock for the City to take action on an application for a wireless facility. On July 29, 2019, the applicant submitted a letter pausing the shot clock on day 119. SECTION 5. The Planning Commission conducted a second duly noticed public hearing on November 18, 2019, to consider the application for Conditional Use Permit CUP 19-3 at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. SECTION 6. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the City to analyze projects for potential environmental impacts before an action to approve or deny is taken. While this may include a variety of potential impacts, it is noted that Federal regulations preempt the City from considering impacts from radio frequency. The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15303, (Class 3, New Construction or 195 2 Conversion of Small Structures). Class 3 exemptions include the installation of small new equipment and facilities, such as the proposed wireless antennas. There is nothing unusual about these wireless antennas on an existing building that would cause a significant impact to the environment or a change to the physical environment. These antennas are very common, a conditionally permitted use and since there are already nine antennas on the site, this is a slight increase in the amount of antennas, but there will be an aesthetic improvement. SECTION 7. Based on the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pursuant to Sections 17.40.020 and 17.40.170 of the Municipal Code substantiating that the proposed the facility will be compatible with existing and future uses in the vicinity and not be materially detrimental to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone: 1. The extent to which the proposed facility blends into the surrounding environment or is architecturally integrated into a concealing structure, taking into consideration alternate sites that are available. This proposal will remove the unscreened antennas from the roof of the building and place antennas on the façade of the building. To integrate the antennas into the building’s architecture, the applicant proposes utilize screen boxes that match the existing architectural features of the building. 2. The extent to which the proposed facility is screened or camouflaged by existing or proposed new topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures. The proposed antennas will be screened by a non-reflective architectural lattice. The proposed screening boxes will match the existing horizontal wood pickets with tubular steel frame and painted to match the existing building. All existing and proposed support equipment will be located below the existing building parapet wall or within a 175 square foot equipment room located on the basement/parking floor level. 3. The total size of the proposed facility, particularly in relation to surrounding and supporting structures. The proposal will locate three sectors (four antennas per sector) on the façade of the building. Each of the north, south, and west facades will contain one sector. The antennas and screening will project 3’ from the existing façade, which is the minimum that can accommodate the size of the antennas and screening. Since the applicant has kept the size of the facility to the minimum required to physically accommodate the equipment, and it is an appropriate scale of an architectural feature for the building, it is consistent with the building and surrounding area. 4. The availability of suitable alternative locations for the facility. As part of the application, the applicant submitted an alternative site analysis, in which they reviewed seven other potential sites in the area to reduce the gap in services. The project site was the most feasible site that can meet RF requirements, comply with zoning, and has a willing property owner. 196 3 5. Preference shall be given to facilities located on publicly owned structures, co-location and shared sites. A review of the area indicates there are no public structures in the vicinity that can accommodate the macro-cell site. Additionally as part of the alternative site analysis, the applicant looked at collocating with another carrier in the area. The existing wireless facilities in the area do not meet the RF requirements to fill the gap. 6. Preference shall be given to sites which are not located along primary street frontage, front yard areas or adjacent to residential uses. The primary street frontage is Pacific Coast Highway, which is on the east side of the building. No antennas are proposed for this façade. Antennas are proposed on the north side of the building, facing 24th Place. While 24th Place contains residential properties, vehicle access to these properties is not accessible from Pacific Coast Highway. The primary purpose of this portion of 24th Place is to access the parking for the project site. Furthermore, the antennas are proposed on the eastern portion of the façade, facing an office building. 7. Whenever possible, wireless communication facilities should be located on existing buildings, existing poles, or other existing support structures. The facility will be located on an existing building, thereby avoiding the need to install a new support structure. SECTION 8. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the request for Conditional Use Permit (CUP 19-3), subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The details of the project application and supplemental materials are incorporated as Conditions of Approval unless modified herein. Any changes to, or relocation of, antennas or other equipment associated with the wireless telecommunications facility shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Antenna upgrade, repair and replacement with devices of equivalent or lesser number, dimensions, height in the same locations, may be considered to be routine maintenance or minor, provided visual impacts are not increased, and may be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director. 2. Three sets of antennas, each containing four (4) panel antennas and two (2) remote radio units shall be fully concealed within screening walls at approximately 35 feet above the street surface level mounted on the northeast, southeast, and west side façades of the existing multi-tenant office building.

Future removal of the wireless communication facilities shall comply with the following: a. The applicant shall provide notification to the Community Development Director upon cessation of operations on the site. The applicant shall remove all obsolete or unused facilities from the site within six (6) months of termination of its lease, cessation of operations, or expiration of its permit, subject to the determination of the director of community development. Should the owner fail to effect such removal, the property owner shall be responsible for the removal of the equipment. b. A new permit shall be required if the site is to be used again for the same purpose as permitted under the original permit, if a consecutive period of six (6) months has lapsed since cessation of operations. c. Any FCC licensed wireless communications carrier that is buying, leasing, or considering a transfer of ownership of an already approved facility shall submit a letter of notification of intent to the community development director. 10. If a review of this Conditional Use Permit occurs, the Planning Commission may amend the above conditions and/or impose any new conditions deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental impacts on the environment or neighborhood arising from use of the premise. 11. Approval of this permit shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of approval by the Planning Commission, unless significant construction or improvements or the use authorized hereby has commenced. One or more 198 5 extensions of time may be requested. No extension shall be considered unless requested, in writing to the Community Development Director including the reason therefore, at least 60 days prior to the expiration date. No additional notice of expiration will be provided. SECTION 9. This permit shall not be effective for any purposes until the permittee and the owners of the property involved have filed at the office of the Planning Division of the Community Development Department their affidavits stating that they are aware of, and agree to accept, all of the conditions of this permit. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded, and proof of recordation shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. Each of the above conditions is separately enforced, and if one of the conditions of approval is found to be invalid by a court of law, all the other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. To the extent permitted by law, Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Hermosa Beach, its City Council, its officers, employees and agents (the “indemnified parties”) from and against any claim, action, or proceeding brought by a third party against the indemnified parties and the applicant to attack, set aside, or void any permit or approval for this project authorized by the City, including (without limitation) reimbursing the City its actual attorney’s fees and costs in defense of the litigation. The City may, in its sole discretion, elect to defend any such action with attorneys of its choice. The permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney's fees which the City may be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this permit.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 APN: 4184‐020‐018 Zoning: C‐3 Project Representative Chris Pell Smartlink, LLC 3300 Irvine Avenue, Suite 300 Newport Beach, CA 92660 760‐678‐8329 (C) 949‐468‐0931 (F) Christopher.pell@smartlinkllc.com AT&T Contact Christie M Asari‐Price, Project Manager 1452 Edinger Ave. 3rd Floor Tustin, CA 92780‐6246 Ch0897@att.com 714‐476‐3479 Project Description AT&T’s main objective for the proposed modification is to rectify the existing wireless facility by bringing the site into conformance with City Standards. Currently the existing facility is unscreened and mounted on the rooftop which exceeds the height limit of section 17.46.210. The new proposal will be 3 sectors each consisting of (4) 4’ panel antennas (total of 12) concealed in stealth FRP boxes mounted 36’ from grade level onto the façade of the building below the roofline. The facility will also include, 21 RRUs at the antenna level (7 per sector), three (3) DC‐6 surge suppressors (1 per sector), (1) equipment rack and one (1) cable tray. AT&T is working with the City and the community to install a state‐of‐the‐art stealth 201 Page 2 of 8 structure that will improve communications services for the residents and visitors in the City of Hermosa Beach as well as substantially reduce the visual impact of the site. Project Objectives A wireless carrier requires the installation of a cell site within a specified area to close a “significant gap in coverage.” Other criteria for selecting sites include the following: The radio signal must be of sufficient strength to achieve consistent, sustainable, and reliable service to customers at a level sufficient for outdoor, in‐vehicle and in‐building penetration with good voice quality. When nearby other sites become overloaded and more enhanced voice and data services are used (4G and other high‐speed data services), data blocking occurs. This means dropped calls and slower data services such as video streaming. In this specific case, AT&T’s radio‐frequency engineers (RF) have identified a significant need for coverage in the vicinity of Longfellow Ave, Pacific Coast Highway, and Pier Ave, in the City of Hermosa Beach. RF Propagation Maps are submitted showing the significant gap in coverage if the site did not exist. Alternative Site Analysis Generally, the search ring requested by the RF engineers can be .10 to one mile radius. AT&T’s gap in coverage in this instance is largely a result of the steep grades and abstract designed buildings. Numerous locations surrounding the existing site were evaluated for their potential to house a wireless facility and were eliminated in the process primarily because they do not serve the AT&T coverage objective or the building is not suitable for construction of a cell site. 2447 Pacific Coast Highway is the only property which meets the project objectives as well as the four key elements in the site selection process, described in the general information section below. 202 Page 3 of 8 FIGURE 1 Gap in Coverage in Purple if site is removed Existing site location indicated by red star 203 Page 4 of 8 FIGURE 2 ASA Map ‐ Other Locations Considered Site Selection Overview There are Four Key Elements considered during a site selection process. All four elements must be met or the site cannot be built. If one element is missing, the site is eliminated from the candidates list. Below are the Four Key Elements reviewed: RF: It must be strategically located to be able to achieve the RF engineer’s objective to close the significant gap with antennas at a height to clear nearby obstructions. Obstructions can be anything from, but not limited to, trees’ , powerlines or adjacent buildings. Construction: Construction constraints and costs must be reasonable from a business perspective, and the proposed project must be capable of being constructed in accordance with local building codes and safety standards. Zoning: It must be suitably zoned in accordance with local land‐use codes to allow for a successful permitting process. Leasing: The property must have an owner who is willing to enter into a long‐term lease agreement under very specific terms and conditions. Candidate A Hope Chapel ‐ 2306 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 The candidate did not meet RF requirements on constructable areas of the rooftop. Areas of rooftop which did meet RF requirements were not constructable. Candidate was eliminated. 204 Page 5 of 8 Candidate B Lazy Acres ‐ 2510 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 There is no location on this property that would meet RF requirements to maintain AT&T’s coverage needs. Candidate was eliminated. Candidate C Office Building 2200 ‐ 2200 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Property is located at a significantly lower elevation as PCH has a steep grade in the vicinity of the existing site. The façade is not suitable for construction of a wireless facility as there would be obstructions from existing power lines. Mounting the facility to the rooftop would not conform with Hermosa Beach wireless ordinances and would require a variance at a minimum. Candidate was eliminated. Candidate D Dunn Edwards Paint ‐ 2775 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Candidate does not have a suitable location for façade mounted antennas as powerlines would cause obstruction. Roof mounting antennas would not conform with Hermosa Beach Wireless ordinance and would require a variance at a minimum. Property did not have enough space to install an equipment shelter. Candidate was eliminated. Candidate E Spyder Surfboards ‐ 2461 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Façade mounting antennas would significantly lower the height of the antennas causing candidate to not meet RF requirements. Building’s penthouse is not suitable for construction and multiple sectors would remain obstructed. Candidate was eliminated. Candidate F RP Associates ‐ 2205 Pacific Coast highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Street grade significantly decreases on this section of Pacific Coast Highway. Site location does not meet RF requirements to maintain coverage area. Powerlines obstruct site unless the antennas are roof mounted, which would not conform with Hermosa Beach wireless ordinances. Candidate was eliminated. Candidate G Concept 21 ‐ 2101 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 This candidate has significant powerline obstructions for façade mounted antennas. Mounting antennas to rooftop would not conform with Hermosa Beach wireless ordinances and would not rid of powerline obstructions. Candidate was eliminated. 205 Page 6 of 8 Colocation: There are no cell sites in the area that provide an opportunity for AT&T to collocate and fill its gap in coverage. The map below shows the proximity of the nearest cell towers. Findings/Burden of Proof The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape. AT&T is proposing a stealth design for this project which is concealed within the FRP boxes. All cellular equipment and antennas are disguised and screened from public view. The requested height of the stealth FRP boxes is the minimum height needed in order to fill the significant gap in coverage for this project. AT&T uses the most advanced technology to conceal the equipment and to blend the architecture with the surrounding community and landscaping and thereby minimizing the visual impact of the site. The existing site location has sufficient lease area to support the modification. The site can be accessed from PCH & 24th PL from the underground parking lot of the building to the equipment room and has a willing landlord with 14 years remaining on the current term of the lease. Their facility has been existing at the location since 1996 (23 years) and currently 14 years are remaining with the current lease agreement. The building was designed to house a wireless facility and has a willing and cooperative Landlord. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties. The proposed stealth design camouflaged the antennas and blends in with the existing architecture of the building. Lowering and façade mounting the antennas on the 206 Page 7 of 8 building will significantly reduce visual impact and is designed to be more aesthetically appealing. The new design will conform with Hermosa Beach wireless ordinances. The project will provide a public benefit of better wireless telecommunications and data services to the surrounding neighborhoods and community. The current/proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or welfare. The existing wireless telecommunications facility is in high demand to the residents and visitors of the City of Hermosa Beach. Wireless communications are vastly used in this area and the need for this site was established entirely from increased usage of AT&T services in the vicinity of the requested project. GENERAL INFORMATION Site Selection Customer demand drives the need for upgrades on existing wireless facilities. Data relating to incomplete and dropped calls is gathered, drive‐tests are conducted and scientific modeling using sophisticated software is evaluated. Once the area requiring an upgrade is identified, an RF Engineer determines the equipment needed to deploy that will increase coverage in the given area. During an initial reconnaissance, properties selected for evaluation for installation of a cell site must be located in the general vicinity of the ring, possess an appropriate zoning designation, and appear to have enough space to accommodate an antenna structure and supporting radio equipment. The size of this space will vary depending on the objective of the site. The owners of each prospective location are notified to assess their interest in partnering with AT&T. The Benefits to the Community Approximately 90‐percent of American adults subscribe to cell phone service. People of all ages rely increasingly on their cell phones to talk, text, send media and search the Internet for both personal and business reasons. More and more, they conduct these activities in their homes, therefore, becoming reliant on adequate service within residential neighborhoods. In fact, 50‐percent of people who relocate are not signing up for landline service at their new location and are using their cell phone as their primary communication method. The installation and operation of the proposed facility will offer improved: Communications for local, state and federal emergency services providers (i.e., police, fire, paramedics, and other first‐responders). Personal safety and security for community members in an emergency, or when there is an urgent need to reach family members or friends. Safety is the primary reason parents provide cell phones to their children. Currently 25 percent of all preteens, ages 9 to 12, and 75 percent of all teens, aged 13 to 19, have cell phones. Capability of local businesses to better serve their customers. Opportunity for a city or county to attract businesses to their community for greater economic development. Enhanced 911 Services (E911) – The FCC mandates that all cell sites have location capability. Effective site geometry within the overall network is needed to achieve accurate location information for mobile users through triangulation with active cell sites. (Over half of all 911 calls are made using mobile phones.) 207 Page 8 of 8 RF Safety The FCC regulates RF emissions to ensure public safety. Standards have been set based on peer‐ reviewed scientific studies and recommendations from a variety of oversight organizations, including the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Drug Administration (FDA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Although the purview of the public safety of RF emissions by the FCC was established by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, these standards remain under constant scrutiny. All AT&T cell sites operate well below these standards, and the typical urban cell site operates hundreds or even thousands of times below the FCC’s limits for safe exposure. AT&T Company Information AT&T is one of the fastest growing nationwide service providers offering all digital voice, messaging and high‐speed data services to nearly 30 million customers in the United States. AT&T is a “telephone corporation”, licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate in the 872‐1962 MHz and 827‐1877 MHz frequencies, and a state‐regulated Public Utility subject to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The CPUC has established that the term “telephone corporation” can be extended to wireless carriers, even though they transmit signals without the use of telephone lines. AT&T will operate this facility in full compliance with the regulations and licensing requirements of the FCC, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the CPUC, as governed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and other applicable laws. AT&T requests a favorable determination and approval of CUP‐19‐3 Conditional Use Permit Amendment to relocate the existing facility.

As part of this process, various questions are submitted by the general public. Per your request, EBI is providing an answer to the following question: “Please explain how AT&T has met the guidelines of the FCC for radiofrequency radiation exposure?” EBI has been contracted by Smartlink and AT&T to perform a radio frequency/electromagnetic emissions (RF-EME) study on the proposed telecommunications site. This study is detailed in the AT&T Radio Frequency Safety Survey Report Prediction issued by EBI on June 13, 2019. EBI utilized antenna drawings and specifications provided to us by AT&T to perform a theoretical computer study of the RF-EME fields using the FCC-approved Roofview modeling program. Upon completion of the modeling, we compared the results with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits established by the FCC. Results indicate that the site is in compliance with applicable MPEs on adjacent building roofs to the south and west. MPEs calculated on the rooftops of the adjacent buildings, designated in the report as Adjacent Roof 1 and 2, are 27.3% and 3.3% of the MPE, respectively, which is well below the applicable threshold of 100%. Also note that MPE percentages inside either of these adjacent buildings would be further decreased due to the interior walking surfaces being approximately 10 feet lower than the roof, and through attenuation by roofing materials. Based on all these factors, EBI concludes that the proposed antenna configuration will be in compliance with FCC safety regulations at the adjacent building rooftops. EBI did find exceedances of MPE fields on the subject property building areas designated as the Main Roof and Lower Roof 1. FCC requirements indicate that MPEs cannot be exceeded without implementing controls. Once controls are implemented, the site is deemed to be compliant with the regulations. Based on the MPE exceedance, EBI has recommended the installation of 4’ barriers and safety signage on Lower Roof 1 and safety signage on the parapet wall above the antennas on the exterior walls of the Main Roof. Based on this, EBI concludes that the proposed antenna configuration on the subject property buildings will be in compliance with FCC safety regulations upon implementation of the recommended mitigations measures on Lower Roof 1 and the Main Roof. RF-EME is regulated by the FCC under the 1996 Telecommunications Act and FCC regs at 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(1) – (b)(3). The FCC sets MPE limits in the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65 guidelines (1997) for MPE limits. The more recent standard, developed by the IEEE and approved as ANSI standard C95.1-2006 “Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz,” includes similar limits. FCC limits established in the guidelines are designed to protect the public health with a “very large margin of safety.” These limits have been endorsed by OSHA, the EPA, and the FDA, and have been upheld in a Federal Court of Appeals. The MPE limits are “many times below levels that are generally accepted as having the potential to cause adverse health effects.” (Source: A Local Government Official’s Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety by the FCC). 209 Western Local Office 805 Blue Spruce Road Reno, NV 89511 Tel: 530.210.1028 www.ebiconsulting.com ENVIROBUSINESS, INC.

Ionization is to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. Instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter, the electromagnetic radiation has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state. This is known as microwave heating. Microwave heating is not cumulative, meaning that there are no lasting effects. Microwaves attenuate rapidly with distance and exposure levels become virtually ambient within a relatively short distance. Therefore, exposure to any level under 100% of the MPE is considered safe and non-cumulative. Exposure to RF fields below the FCC public limit is allowed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

(dba EBI Consulting) has been contracted by AT&T Mobility, LLC to conduct radio frequency electromagnetic (RF-EME) modeling for AT&T Site LAC646 located at 2447 Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa Beach, California to determine RF-EME exposure levels from proposed AT&T wireless communications equipment at this site. As described in greater detail in Appendix A of this report, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Limits for general public exposures and occupational exposures. This report summarizes the results of RF-EME modeling in relation to relevant FCC RF-EME compliance standards for limiting human exposure to RF-EME fields. This document addresses the compliance of AT&T’s transmitting facilities independently and in relation to all collocated facilities at the site. 1.1 SITE SUMMARY Recommended Mitigation at the Site: Access Point(s): o To reduce the risk of exposure and/or injury, EBI recommends that access to the rooftop or areas associated with the active antenna installation be restricted and secured where possible. Signage at AT&T Mobility Sectors: o A: Yellow CAUTION 2C sign on the parapet wall above the antennas. Yellow CAUTION 2 signs on the barriers on the lower rooftop. o B: Yellow CAUTION 2C sign on the parapet wall above the antennas. o C: Yellow CAUTION 2C sign on the parapet wall above the antennas. Barriers at AT&T Mobility Sectors: o A: 4’ barriers installed on both sides of the antennas on lower roof 1. Barriers are only recommended for installation up to 6 feet from the edge of the rooftop because the accessible areas of concern are within 6 feet of an area with no guard rail or parapet greater than 36 inches high. o B: N/A o C: N/A 213 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 2 AT&T Proprietary (Internal use only).

Predictive Modeling Results: The maximum predictive power density generated by the antennas is approximately 3,164.80 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (632.96 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit) at the main roof level. At the lower roof 1 level, the maximum predictive power density generated by the antennas is approximately 587.0 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (117.4 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). At the lower roof 2 level, the maximum predictive power density generated by the antennas is approximately 66.3 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (13.26 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). At the adjacent roof 1 level, the maximum predictive power density generated by the antennas is approximately 27.3 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (5.46 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). At the adjacent roof 2 level, the maximum predictive power density generated by the antennas is approximately 3.3 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (0.66 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). At ground level, the maximum predictive power density generated by the antennas is approximately 31.2 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (6.24 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). 214 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 3 Proposed CAUTION 2C Signs on the parapet wall above the antennas Proposed Hard Barrier Proposed CAUTION 2 Signs on Proposed AT&T Barriers Sector A Sector B Sector C AT&T Antennas Adjacent Roof 1 Adjacent Roof 2 Ground Level Lower Ground Level Lower Ground Level Main Roof 4’ Lower Roof 1 Lower Roof 2 2.0 SIGNAGE AND MITIGATION PLAN 215 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 4 AT&T Proprietary (Internal use only).

All rights reserved. 4.0 WORST-CASE PREDICTIVE MODELING In accordance with AT&T’s RF Exposure policy, EBI performed theoretical modeling using RoofView® software to estimate the worst-case power density at the site rooftop and ground-level and nearby rooftops resulting from operation of the antennas. For this report, EBI utilized antenna and power data provided by AT&T and compared the resultant worst-case MPE levels to the FCC’s occupational/controlled exposure limits outlined in OET Bulletin 65. The assumptions used in the modeling are based upon information provided by AT&T and information gathered from other sources. There are no other wireless carriers with equipment installed at this site. Per AT&T’s corporate policy, the FCC’s general population limits are applicable to all rooftop sites, regardless of the level of access control. Based on worst-case predictive modeling, the worst-case emitted power density may exceed the FCC’s general public limit within approximately 22 feet of AT&T’s Sector A, B, and C antennas on the main roof level and 9 feet of AT&T’s Sector A antennas on the lower rooftop 1 level. Modeling also indicates that the worst-case emitted power density may exceed the FCC’s occupational limit within approximately 9 feet of AT&T’s Sector A, B, and C antennas on the main roof level and 1 foot of AT&T’s Sector A antennas on the lower rooftop 1 level. Additionally, there are areas where elevated workers may be exposed to power densities greater than the occupational limits. The worst-case emitted power density may exceed the FCC’s occupational limit within approximately 14 feet of AT&T’s proposed antennas at the antenna face level. Workers and the general public should be informed about the presence and locations of antennas and their associated fields. At the nearest walking/working surfaces to the AT&T antennas on the rooftop and ground, the maximum power density generated by the AT&T antennas is approximately 3,164.80 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (632.96 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). The composite exposure level from all carriers on this site is approximately 3,164.80 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (632.96 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit) at the nearest walking/working surface to each antenna. Based on worst-case predictive modeling, there are no areas at ground/street level related to the proposed AT&T antennas that exceed the FCC’s occupational or general public exposure limits at this site. At ground/street level, the maximum power density generated by the antennas is approximately 31.2 percent of the FCC’s general public limit (6.24 percent of the FCC’s occupational limit). It should be noted that RoofView® is not suitable for modeling microwave dish antennas; however, these units are designed for point-to-point operations at the elevations of the installed equipment rather than ground-level coverage. Based on AT&T’s RF Exposure: Responsibilities, Procedures & Guidelines document, dated October 28, 2014, microwave antennas are considered compliant if they are higher than 20 feet above any accessible walking/working surface. There are no microwaves installed at this site. 218 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 7 ATT Sector A ATT Sector B ATT Sector C AT&T Antennas Main Roof Level (34’ AGL) Simulation Max MPE: 3164.8% General Population MPE at Main Roof Level Adjacent Roof 1 Adjacent Roof 2 Ground Level Lower Ground Level Lower Ground Level Main Roof *For Clarity, Fields are Extended into Free Space Lower Roof 2 Lower Roof 1 219 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 8 AT&T Antennas Lower Roof 1 (24.5’ AGL) and 2 (10’ AGL) Levels Simulation ATT Sector A ATT Sector B ATT Sector C Max MPE: 587.0% General Population MPE on Lower Roof 1 Level Adjacent Roof 1 Adjacent Roof 2 Ground Level Lower Ground Level Main Roof Lower Ground Level Lower Roof 1 Lower Roof 2 Max MPE: 66.3% General Population MPE on Lower Roof 2 Level 220 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 9 AT&T Antennas Adjacent Roof 1 (19.17’ AGL) and 2 (5.5’ AGL) Levels Simulation ATT Sector A ATT Sector B ATT Sector C Max MPE: 27.3% General Population MPE at Adjacent Roof 1 Level Adjacent Roof 1 Adjacent Roof 2 Ground Level Lower Ground Level Main Roof Max MPE: 3.3% General Population MPE at Adjacent Roof 2 Level Lower Ground Level Lower Roof 1 Lower Roof 2 221 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 10 AT&T Antennas Max MPE: 6,329.70% General Population MPE at Antenna Face Level Antenna Face Level Simulation ATT Sector A ATT Sector C Adjacent Roof 1 Ground Level ATT Sector B Adjacent Roof 2 Lower Ground Level *For Clarity, Fields are Extended into Free Space Lower Ground Level Main Roof Lower Roof 1 Lower Roof 2 222 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 11 AT&T Antennas Ground Levels (0’ AGL and -7’ AGL) Simulation ATT Sector A ATT Sector B ATT Sector C Adjacent Roof 1 Adjacent Roof 2 Ground Level Lower Ground Level Main Roof Max MPE: 20.9% General Population MPE at the Lower Ground Level Max MPE: 31.2% General Population MPE at Ground Level Lower Ground Level Lower Roof 1 Lower Roof 2 223 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 12 AT&T Antennas Note that the areas shown in brown are where AT&T antennas contribute more than 5% of the FCC’s general exposure RF limit.

Appendix A: FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) REQUIREMENTS The FCC has established Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for human exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic (RF-EME) energy fields, based on exposure limits recommended by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and, over a wide range of frequencies, the exposure limits developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) and adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to replace the 1982 ANSI guidelines. Limits for localized absorption are based on recommendations of both ANSI/IEEE and NCRP. The FCC guidelines incorporate two separate tiers of exposure limits that are based upon occupational/controlled exposure limits (for workers) and general public/uncontrolled exposure limits for members of the general public. Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/ controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general public/uncontrolled limits (see below), as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. General public/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore, members of the general public would always be considered under this category when exposure is not employment-related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a nearby residential area. Table 1 and Figure 1 (below), which are included within the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65, summarize the MPE limits for RF emissions. These limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. They vary by frequency to take into account the different types of equipment that may be in operation at a particular facility and are “time-averaged” limits to reflect different durations resulting from controlled and uncontrolled exposures. The FCC’s MPEs are measured in terms of power (mW) over a unit surface area (cm2). Known as the power density, the FCC has established an occupational MPE of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) and an uncontrolled MPE of 1 mW/cm2 for equipment operating in the 1900 MHz frequency range. For the AT&T equipment operating at 850 MHz, the FCC’s occupational MPE limit is 2.83 mW/cm2 and an uncontrolled MPE limit of 0.57 mW/cm2. For the AT&T equipment operating at 700 MHz, the FCC’s occupational MPE limit is 2.33 mW/cm2 and an uncontrolled MPE limit of 0.47 mW/cm2. These limits are considered protective of these populations.

Personal Wireless Service Approximate Frequency Occupational MPE Public MPE Most Restrictive Freq, Range 30-300 MHz 1.00 mW/cm2 0.20 mW/cm2 MPE limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. These limits apply for continuous exposures and are intended to provide a prudent margin of safety for all persons, regardless of age, gender, size, or health. Personal Communication (PCS) facilities used by AT&T in this area operate within a frequency range of 700-1900 MHz. Facilities typically consist of: 1) electronic transceivers (the radios or cabinets) connected to wired telephone lines; and 2) antennas that send the wireless signals created by the transceivers to be received by individual subscriber units (PCS telephones). Transceivers are typically connected to antennas by coaxial cables. Because of the short wavelength of PCS services, the antennas require line-of-site paths for good propagation, and are typically installed above ground level. Antennas are constructed to concentrate energy towards the horizon, with as little energy as possible scattered towards the ground or the sky. This design, combined with the low power of PCS facilities, generally results in no possibility for exposure to approach Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels, with the exception of areas directly in front of the antennas. 230 Site Name: Hermosa Beach Site USID: 12049 Site FA: 10085847 19 AT&T Proprietary (Internal use only).

Applicant:Louie Tomaro Tomaro Architecture 2617 N. Sepulveda Blvd, Suite 100 Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 Property Owner:910 Hermosa Ave Development, LLC 314 Tejon Place Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274 Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution amending the Precise Development Plan to modify the elevator design to extend elevator service to all floors within the building and to allow the elevator equipment housing to be constructed above the height limit at an office building currently under construction located at 910 Hermosa Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: On June 19, 2007 the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, Parking Plan, and Vesting Tentative Map for a new approximately 8,781 square foot three-story commercial office building with basement level parking. The Planning Commission granted extensions to the entitlements in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017. Building permits were issued December of 2017 and construction started early 2018. The project is currently under construction and based on our Building Official and the Inspector’s assessment, the project is about 50% done. The last inspection occurred in late July, 2019 for partial CMU inspection. Analysis: Section 17.46.010 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) establishes that in commercial City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™274 Staff Report REPORT 19-0776 and manufacturing zones the following elements may be constructed above the height limit, provided they do not exceed the height limit by more than eight feet, cover no more than five percent of the total roof area, and do not result in additional floor area. All elements listed below are governed by the California Building Code and may exceed the height limit only by the minimum amount necessary to comply with the California Building Code standards: Elevator housing, stairways, tanks, ventilating fans, parapet fire walls, towers, chimneys, flues, vents, smokestacks, wireless masts, and similar structures as determined by the Planning Commission. Approved Elevator Design In 2016 the Planning Commission approved minor modifications to the original 2007 plans including a modified elevator design where elevator housing was reduced in height to be fully contained within the 30-foot height limit. The building contains split floor levels. The front (west) portion of the building contains three floors of office space and the rear (east) portion of the building contains four floors (garages on the lower two floors and offices on the upper two floors). There is a four foot difference between the front and rear floor levels. The current elevator design would provide access to all three of the front floors and would provide access to the rear garage floors and the third floor office. However, the current elevator design would not extend to the highest fourth floor level. Therefore, employees and patrons would need to utilize a set of stairs or a wheelchair lift (if disabled) in order to access or exist the uppermost floor. Applicant Request The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission consider their request to modify the elevator design to extend elevator service to all floors within the building (elevator currently only serves three of the four floors) and to allow the elevator equipment housing to be constructed above the height limit in order to provide quicker and more practical access and exiting for future tenants, their customers and emergency service personnel. Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.58.030, in considering the Precise Development Plan for any development, and amendments thereto, the Planning Commission shall consider, among other things, the following applicable criteria: 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools; The subject site is surrounded by other tall commercial and residential buildings located to the north, east and south which have similar 30-foot building height limits. The elevator housing will be recessed back approximately 35 feet from the primary street frontage (west property line) and away from the main pedestrian corridor making the structure less visible at the pedestrian level. City code allows elevator housing to be constructed above the height limit, provided it does not exceed the height limit by more than eight feet, covers no more than five percent of the total roof area, and does not result in additional floor area. The proposed elevator housing will measure nine feet in width and depth and will exceed the 30-foot height limit by 5’ 1 5/8”. 2.8% of the total roof area will be covered by roof equipment exceeding the height limit. The proposed elevator housing complies with code, does not require a variance, and is well within the height and roof coverage allowances for these types of roof structures. 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. The new commercial building currently complies with the California Building Code. The building will be City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™275 Staff Report REPORT 19-0776 fully fire sprinklered, meets safe exiting requirements, and meets accessibility requirements. The proposed plans were reviewed by the City’s Building Division and Fire Inspector who agreed that, although the building meets code, the current design does not provide the most practical or quickest exit from the fourth floor in the event of an emergency. The current design requires patrons on the fourth floor to travel approximately 80 feet around a courtyard in order to reach the elevator to then exit the building safely. Not only is this a long path of travel for able-bodied individuals but it becomes more of a hardship for individuals with accessibility restrictions. If an emergency were to occur on the fourth floor then exiting the building becomes a two-step process. An individual would need to go around the open courtyard to access either the set of stairs or wheelchair lift and then continue to the elevator instead of simply accessing an elevator to quickly descend to lower levels. All elevators must also have two-hour fire rating. Therefore, providing the quickest and most direct route to the elevator is more practical. In addition, elevators are inspected by State Inspectors who have very thorough safety inspections whereas wheelchair lifts are not subject to the same level of safety inspections and commonly experience maintenance issues. If the wheelchair lift is not properly maintained or inspected and becomes non- operational for any period of time then the building becomes non-ADA compliant creating accessibility concerns. Having one elevator serve all floors requires only one set of inspections and maintenance as opposed to the additional maintenance of a wheelchair lift. The building foundation has been completed and the building shell and framing are near completion. The building has been engineered to accommodate the current cable driven elevator design which requires a top/roof mounted equipment cable and equipment room. Alternative elevator designs such as a hydraulic elevator with a below ground pit or a side accessed mechanical equipment room would require re- engineering of the building and foundation which, although not infeasible, would result in construction delays, and staff believes that the proposed design is reasonable and is well within what the code allows and only exceeds the height limit to the minimum extent necessary to meet the Building Code requirements for a cable driven elevator design with top/roof mounted equipment. General Plan Consistency: The establishment is located within the Community Commercial (CC) General Plan land use area, found in many centralized locations throughout the City, and is also located within the City’s Downtown District where the intent includes enhancing the building form and orientation, and transforming the realm on Hermosa Avenue. New buildings should be carefully integrated to retain the town’s eclectic charm. The modified elevator housing design has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Goals and Policies are listed below: Land Use Goal 5. Quality and authenticity in architecture and site design in all construction and renovation of buildings. Policy 5.1 Scale and massing.Consider the scale of new development within its urban context to avoid abrupt changes in scale and massing. The subject site is surrounded by other tall three-story commercial and residential buildings with additional basement levels located to the north, east and south which have similar 30-foot building height limits. The elevator housing will be recessed back approximately 35 feet from the primary street frontage (west property line) and away from the main pedestrian corridor making the structure less visible at the pedestrian level, thereby reducing scale and massing impacts to nearby properties. This design balances the interests set out in the General Plan. California Environmental Quality Act: Planning staff reviewed the application and determined that this project is exempt from CEQA. 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 building currently under construction will provide a modified elevator design to extend elevator service to all floors within the building and to allow the elevator equipment housing to be constructed above the City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™276 Staff Report REPORT 19-0776 height limit with no expansion to the floor area. Summary: Staff supports the request and believes that the proposed elevator design provides quicker, clearer and safer accessibility to all four floor levels for future tenants, their customers and emergency service personnel. Given the project’s split level design, the proposed elevator to extend to the fourth floor has been designed to only exceed the 30-foot height limit to the minimum amount necessary to comply with the California Building Code standards.

RESOLUTION NO. 19-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT TO MODIFY THE ELEVATOR DESIGN TO EXTEND ELEVATOR SERVICE TO ALL FLOORS WITHIN THE BUILDING (ELEVATOR CURRENTLY ONLY SERVES THREE OF THE FOUR FLOORS) AND TO ALLOW THE ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT HOUSING TO BE CONSTRUCTED ABOVE THE HEIGHT LIMIT AT AN OFFICE BUILDING CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION LOCATED AT 910 HERMOSA AVENUE AND DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application for an amendment to Precise Development Plan No. 07-1 was filed by the property owner, 910 Hermosa Ave Development, LLC, requesting to modify the elevator design to extend elevator service to all floors within the building (elevator currently only serves three of the four floors) and to allow the elevator equipment housing to be constructed above the height limit at an office building currently under construction located at 910 Hermosa Avenue. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on November 19, 2019, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission Section 3. Section 17.46.010 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) establishes that in commercial and manufacturing zones the following elements may be constructed above the height limit, provided they do not exceed the height limit by more than eight feet, cover no more than five percent of the total roof area, and do not result in additional floor area. All elements listed below are governed by the California Building Code and may exceed the height limit only by the minimum amount necessary to comply with the California Building Code standards: Elevator housing, stairways, tanks, ventilating fans, parapet fire walls, towers, chimneys, flues, vents, smokestacks, wireless masts, and similar structures as determined by the Planning Commission. Section 4. The subject project was granted a discretionary Precise Development Plan in June of 2007. (Planning Commission Resolution 07-7). Section 5. The Planning Commission considered the staff report, testimony and evidence, both written and oral, presented to the Commission. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed elevator design provides quicker, clearer and safer accessibility to all four floor levels for future tenants, their customers and emergency service personnel. Given the project’s split level design the Planning Commission finds that the proposed elevator design is appropriate. The proposed elevator, to extend to the fourth floor, has been designed to only 278 2 exceed the 30-foot height limit to the minimum amount necessary (5’ 1 5/8”) to comply with the California Building Code standards. Section 6. Planning staff and the Planning Commission reviewed the application and determined that this project is exempt from CEQA. 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 building currently under construction will provide a modified elevator design to extend elevator service to all floors within the building and to allow the elevator equipment housing to be constructed above the height limit with no expansion to the floor area. Section 7. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an amendment to the Precise Development Plan, as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution 07-7 to add a new condition to read as follows. All other parts of resolution 07-7 remain unchanged. : 30. Under Hermosa Beach Municipal Code 17.46.010, the elevator design shall be modified to extend elevator service to all floors within the building (elevator currently only serves three of the four floors) and the elevator equipment housing may be constructed above the height limit, consistent with the plans reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission during their November 19, 2019 meeting, at an office building currently under construction located at 910 Hermosa Avenue. Section 8. 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. VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: CERTIFICATION I hereby certify the foregoing Resolution P.C. No. 19-XX is a true and complete record of the action taken by the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach, California at their regular meeting of November 19, 2019.

I am the owner at 841 Manhattan Avenue in Hermosa Beach. My rental apartment building is located a few feet from the subject property, just across and down the alley way from the subject property. I personally feel that this project should not have been permitted in the first place. The architect and owner/developer sought to maximize the use of the parcel and created an oversized project. It is consistent with the adjacent property but inconsistent in terms of current utilization of surrounding parcels in the area. This development (and the adjacent one) would eliminate any view of any future development on my parcel. As such, I am deterred from adding value to the community by upgrading the property. The primary reason to not allow the exception is that the added space which results from the allowance will further exasperate the burden on city services including police, fire and most directly parking and congestion. The offices will bring employees and visitors with additional traffic who requiring parking. Simply put, at some point we need to address the pressing impacts of development on our city. By pushing the envelope and then asking for an exception to the rules, the project will unduly and adversely impact the neighborhood. I have also developed property in Hermosa Beach and understand the strict rules that are universally applied to all construction projects. It may seem strict to not allow the exception given that the building is under construction. If such a permit is allowed then every developer and contractor would simply build what they wanted and subjequently ask for an exception and waiver. This would make the rules meaningless and those that follow them unfairly restricted. There is an expression that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. This does not apply to land use. In other parts of Los Angeles County, developers have had to demolish structures which did not adhere to rules. I would like to see the third floor of this property removed, as it should never have been built in the first place. Michael T. Kezirian Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Southern California https://www.GoAstro.space/ 1-607-280-7266 307 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 19-0781 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of November 19, 2019 Potential Municipal Code amendments to Chapter 17.04 Definitions,and Chapter 17.28 M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone,and add 17.42.200 for a new Limited Events Permit to allow Cypress District businesses to host openings or events to showcase and offer products for sale on a limited basis. Recommended Action: As directed by the City Council, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider amendments to the Zoning Code that would be consistent with the General Plan to add definitions of “Artist studio” and “Architect studio;” to modify the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone permitted uses to add Architect Studio as a permitted use, and establish a new Limited Events Permit to allow Cypress District businesses to host openings or events to showcase and offer products for sale on a limited basis. If supportive of the proposed text amendments, direct staff to set a specific public hearing date for consideration of the appropriate Zoning Code text amendments. Background: At its meeting on July 9, 2019, the City Council reviewed a request letter and heard public comments from Mike Collins, business owner of ShockBoxx, requesting initiation of a Municipal Code amendment to the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone in the Cypress District. The letter, which represented six businesses and property owners, asked for consideration to update the M-1 Zone to allow for “current and emerging, businesses, shop owners, and tenants, to conduct business in a more creative way,” particularly regarding special event limitations. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to consider this matter at a future City Council meeting. At its meeting on July 23, 2019, the City Council considered initiation of a Municipal Code amendment to the M-1 Zone and the appropriate permitting process to allow Cypress District businesses to host openings or events with limited retail sales. After discussion, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to consider a Zoning Code Text Amendment for the M-1 Zone in the Cypress District and recommend changes to the City Council for potential adoption. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™308 Staff Report REPORT 19-0781 At its meeting on August 20, 2019, the Planning Commission discussed the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone and the City Council direction to consider potential Municipal Code text amendments to allow businesses to host openings or events with limited retail sales. The Commission discussed the proposal, requested more information such as an inventory of existing uses, parking, and potential fiscal impacts. At a Study Session meeting on November 7, 2019, following a walking tour of the Cypress District, the Planning Commission considered minor modifications to the zoning code and gave direction for text amendment consideration at its next meeting. Analysis: Proposed Municipal Code Text Amendments Add Definitions to Chapter 17.04 The Zoning Code does not currently include definitions for “Artist studio” or “Architect studio.” The proposed definitions are consistent with the proposed text amendments to the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone. “Artist studio” means a workshop for one or more artists specializing in the visual arts including, but not limited to, painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture. “Architect studio” means a creative work space with work tables, drawing tables and space for preparing models and graphic representations which may be in conjunction with ancillary office and storage area. Amend M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone Chapter 17.28 On August 8, 2000, the City Council deemed an Architect Studio use as similar to other uses permitted in the M-1 Zone. The proposed amendment listed below reflects that decision. Proposed amendment to M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone 17.28.020 Permitted Uses: Limited Retail City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™309 Staff Report REPORT 19-0781 As encouraged in Plan Hermosa, limited retail is envisioned as accessory to the on-site design or production use only. A retail business is not allowed in the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone and is not consistent with the uses in the zone unless the Zoning Code text is amended to determine retail is allowable as an accessory use to the primary on-site production use. If desired, an amendment to the M-1 Zone for limited retail could be included to allow specialty retail as an accessory use to support the primary on-site production use up to 25% of floor area. This would be consistent with the M-1 Zone example of Administrative offices accessory to the primary use. M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone 17.28.020 Permitted Uses: Limited retail could also be allowed only in conjunction with the proposed new Administrative Permit for Limited Events. New Administrative Permit for Limited Events and Accessory Retail An Administrative Permit for Limited Events is proposed for low impact events that meet certain standards and limitations to minimize impacts to surrounding businesses and neighborhoods. The intention of the proposed Limited Events Permit would be an inexpensive, simple process as an alternative to the Temporary Minor Special Event Permit, for businesses seeking approval for Limited Events meeting low impact standards and limitations. Definition for Limited Events: Events, Limited. "Limited events" means the provision of events as defined herein, but only as accessory to an established on-site use for limited periods of time such as openings for the purpose of showcasing art or other goods produced or manufactured in the M-1 Zone, such as for Artist Studios or manufacturers, and also allowing accessory retail that does not typically generate off-site impacts or contribute to impacts within the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone or adjacent residential districts in accordance with standards and limitations. The Limited Events Administrative Permit process would include the following standards and limitations: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™310 Staff Report REPORT 19-0781 ·Permit valid for a two-year period ·No amplification of music or speaking at any time and noise cannot be audible at the property line ·Limited to maximum occupancy of building ·No alcohol service or consumption ·Limited to two (2) Limited Events per week for maximum of two (3) hours each ·Hours within 10:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and must end by 9:00 p.m. ·Parking - a parking plan, including any shared parking details and approvals, must be provided and approved for the Limited Events Permit and carpooling should be encouraged. ·Limited Events are restricted from operating on St. Patrick’s Day, July 4th, Cinco de Mayo, New Year’s Eve or any other date where the police department determines the accumulation of activities in the city may exceed its capacity to adequately protect public safety. ·Accessory retail limited to products related to primary use. If a proposed event does not strictly adhere to the Limited Events Administrative Permit standards and limitations, a Temporary Minor Special Event Permit would be an available option. General Plan Consistency: After extensive community discussion and study, the City Council adopted PLAN Hermosa on August 22, 2017. The Cypress Avenue district is located within the Creative Light Industrial (CI) General Plan land use area. The General Plan vision for the Cypress District industrial area is to foster new innovations and creative activity. Creative land uses, including in the Cypress District, are discussed throughout PLAN Hermosa in the following sections. Creative Economy (p.69) Artists, like many business sectors, need space to create their art and venues or opportunities to sell their work and can benefit from proximity to one another. To encourage increased artistic activity and support economic development objectives, Hermosa Beach can ensure the space needed to support this industry is provided in an accessible and affordable manner that allows higher levels of collaboration among artists - all essential ingredients to flourishing creative communities. Land Use Designations - Creative (p.71) Creative land use designations are intended to provide space for production, design, and manufacturing uses that support the local employment base and produce goods and services that enhance the brand of Hermosa Beach as a creative and innovative community. Uses that are considered light industrial are to be designed and sited in a manner that ensures their compatibility with surrounding uses. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™311 Staff Report REPORT 19-0781 Designation/Definition (p.73) CI Light Industrial - Production uses for light manufacturing, creative art, or design services with professional office as an allowed accessory use. Creative Light Industrial (CI) (p.77) Purpose - The creative light industrial designation is intended to create a suitable environment for small businesses that rely on manufacturing, warehousing, or production to operate successfully. This designation ensures uses are able to operate in a manner that contributes to local economic activity and diversifies the local employment base while minimizing impacts to adjacent residential uses. The designation fosters new innovations and creative economic activity by providing common gathering areas and meeting spaces to share and exchange ideas. Appropriate Land Uses - This designation is reserved for the provision of production uses for light manufacturing, creative art, or design services. Flexible use spaces, co-working offices, and creative or “maker” industry incubator spaces are also permitted. Professional office or specialty retail are allowed only as an accessory use to the primary production uses. Residential uses are not allowed in this designation as its intent is to promote and protect industry and production uses that diversify the City’s tax base. Cypress District Character Area (p. 94) Future Vision - The intent is to transform both building design and orientation as well as the public realm and streetscape within the Cypress District. This area is the creative, production and light industrial center of Hermosa Beach where ideas, spaces, and creativity are easily shared. The Cypress District includes a variety of flexible use spaces, co-working offices, and creative or “maker” industries. Intended Distribution of Land Uses - The Cypress District is exclusively designated for creative light industrial uses, with preference toward production uses aligned with green economy. While the area should allow some retail uses, the focus is on specialty trade services and must be accessory to the design or production uses. The Cypress District should support the development of new uses that will bring a wide range of high-quality jobs accessible to people with a variety of skill levels, including research and development and light industrial uses. Relevant Goals and Policies the City’s General Plan are listed below: Governance Goal 6. A broad-based and long-term economic development strategy for Hermosa Beach that supports existing businesses while attracting new business and tourism. ·Policy 6.5 Creative Economy. Land Use Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™312 Staff Report REPORT 19-0781 economy and high quality of life for residents. ·Policies 1.1 Diverse and distributed land use pattern, 1.4 Diverse commercial areas, and 1.8 Respond to unique characteristics. Land Use Goal 3. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts throughout Hermosa Beach. ·Policies 3.1 Unique districts and 3.2 Compatibility of districts. Land Use Goal 10. A strong sense of cultural and architectural heritage. ·Policy 10.5 Adaptive reuse and sustainable development. One of the priority implementation tasks for PLAN Hermosa is to update the Zoning Code to align with the General Plan. Summary The intention for M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone Text Amendments in the Cypress District is to serve as an interim measure to bring the Zoning Code closer to the PLAN Hermosa General Plan vision and in anticipation of a more comprehensive update in the future. Environmental Analysis: Environmental analysis will be determined based on the recommended action pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and California Public Resources Code. Once a course of action is determined, appropriate Environmental Analysis will be conducted at that time.

I drive from Highland Park on the east side of Downtown Los Angeles to participate and otherwise support the gallery. When I come to ShockBoxx, inevitably, I bring others with me and we usually stop for a bite to eat at local restaurants either before or after attending gallery programming. My assumption is that many others who support and participate with gallery programming do the same. The point being, that the value of allowing special events in this area zoning goes beyond the walls of the studios and galleries concerned and becomes community benefit. In addition, it allows the galleries and studios to become viable and meaningful businesses for the artists and artisans supported. All one has to do is take a look at other communities where artists have moved in and revitalized what may have been blighted or unused space to see the value the arts bring. Silverlake, Echo Park, Downtown LA, Highland 325 Park, Boyle Heights, Culver City, Venice. Gentrification push back aside, communities benefit from a thriving arts core. What better way to hold a community together than through the arts?

Just the term, "Cypress Arts District" is cool. And, it's walking/biking distance from all over town. Thanks to Mike and Laura for the initiative. ShockBoxx and Resin are the anchors, and we've got a potential music venue Studio 637 across the street as well.

But a few words about commerce... Those closely aligned with the art scene know that artists and galleries are the pathfinders for increased commerce--where they put down roots, commerce tends to follow--particularly desirable commerce. Witness neighborhoods like Culver City, where restaurants like Lukshon and Vespertine are anchored by the galleries in the area. I see similar potential in Hermosa Beach, where the city becomes a destination for both fine art and great food, and I believe that passing the Limited Events Permit is the first right step in that direction.

Having a venue for various arts is very important for community health. It has been proven that interaction and creating art is good for your health. In fact there is a 2015 Mayo clinic study that showed folks who actually create can help hold off dementia. Having a location that is within walking distance is so nice and can get others interested in creating art for themselves and the community.

Philanthropy, community engagement and the arts are values which every city should embrace. Business owners, residents and visitors have benefited from the visionary and responsible activities taking place on Cypress over the last few years.

Well-rounded municipalities serving the needs of their residents can significantly effect the social, cultural and artistic ambiance of the city through well thought-out plans to encourage the blossoming of new and established efforts to attract the broad array of people who seeks out art-oriented activities to enrich their daily lives.

This is a beautiful thing that is happening on Cypress Street in Hermosa. People who have a heart for art, the city of Hermosa and it’s people. For example we attended an Art opening at Shockboxx last Saturday. A professional curated show. Like you would have up in LA or a palos Verdes. And guess what everybody went out after and supported the local restaurants after. It was a fantastic night. So please consider extending the permit and allowing this to be an all around art gallery that gets to support not just the local art but extends it even deeper into the community.

The Cypress Ave. area of town is the last bastion of Hermosa Beach that breeds creativity, community engagement and beach culture, many of the attributes which create the foundation our great city was built on. The strong community bond is why so many people want to live in and visit Hermosa Beach. Over the last decades we've continued to do away with much 338 of the history that made Hermosa Beach such great place to live and visit in-lieu of housing we can barely afford to live in and restaurants we can't always afford to eat at. We're slowly losing the spirit and identity our City was built on. The Arts District on Cypress Ave. is something our City should take great pride in, an authentic area to inspire current and future generations to congregate in a collaborative setting. A vote against this amendment is a vote against Hermosa Beach's creative community, past, present and future. I fully support this amendment and appreciate your consideration.

I personally feel I'd like to see more changes that allow for growth. These businesses will provide opportunities for everything from employment to community involvement and resource. We need to celebrate the local small businesses not just the large corporate institutions. I'd like to see Hermosa flourish and maintain it's coastal lifestyle. We can all coexist. Cypress also helps keep the musical and artistic culture that has shaped this beach community. I'm all for seeing more events on Cyrpess and throught the city. Let's all come together and support one another and watch our city grow and make life more beautiful for the residents and visitors. This is a good start.

The community of Hermosa Beach is not clamoring for more light manufacturing zoning. Hermosa is a community of people not just a place. And people are excited for art and music and fun, and that doesn't always have to be concentrated that Pier Avenue.

My business continues to grow and I support 25 south bay families through employment in my company. Resin and Raphael's team have been very courtesy neighbors and I enjoy the work that they are doing. We rarely get in each other's way since we run on different schedules and we have open lines of communication. My concerns are two fold. First, with this proposed change to the Cypress district, how these 352 events will be monitored and policed? My business is a day time business and is most of the Cypress district. If events spill over to the streets, sidewalks, etc then who is responsible for the clean up. I believe it puts undo pressure on the businesses to become the "tattle tales" if these events don't stay within their limits. Also, will these events be required to be placed on the city special events calendar? Second, if the zoning and permissible business and events moves forward then it must encompass all businesses in the M-1 areas. The commission should not do spot zoning as suggested during the Cypress walk event with only certain businesses being allowed to have events or only certain businesses being able to do retail. The possibility of spot zoning begs the question of favoritism towards certain types of businesses in the area. I am not opposed to changes in the area as long as the changes do not become problematic for legacy businesses or businesses that don't fall into the "creative arts" category.

Music and art are in our cultural DNA. It sounds like the primary concern from a handful of neighbors is the noise, which I can understand. Rather than limit the number of events a gallery, music studio or business can have, how about we set the limit on the decibel levels? If a larger event is planning to exceed the decibel levels, maybe it would require signatures from a specified % of the neighbors within a certain radius of the event, as is required for a block party. I'm especially interested in changing the permit process to make it easier, faster and less expensive to allow "amplified" music outdoors around Hermosa. It's my understanding that currently, if you want to have an acoustic guitar plugged into a small amp outdoors, it requires a Special Event Permit, an Amplified Music Permit and Insurance which costs a total of about $1,300 plus presentations to 353 and approvals by Parks & Rec and City Council and several months lead time. Again, the permit could designate the max decibel level. Let's encourage live music outdoors rather than restrict it.

My wife and I own a home at 1105 2nd Street, halfway up the hill between Saint Rocke and Prospect Avenue. I have frequently walked from my home to the Cypress District in the evening to enjoy art events at Resin, ShockBoxx and Studio 637. All these events have been professional, clean, quiet, enjoyable and harmonious. I never observed any negative impact on the street itself or any of the surrounding buildings. The event attendees always behaved respectfully and politely. Whenever I walk or drive along the Cypress Avenue Arts District, it is always a positive and uplifting experience for me. I’m confident this is true for the many other patrons of these excellent galleries and companies. I strongly endorse and support all the arts-related businesses operating on Cypress Avenue. These businesses have added to my sense of community in 355 Hermosa Beach (and Cypress Avenue itself) and inspired me artistically. I support the proposed amendments and additions that allow for a new Limited Events Permit to allow Cypress District businesses to host openings or events to showcase and offer products for sale. If you have any questions for me, I would be happy to answer them.

These are facts that should be celebrated and encouraged. As you can read from all of the public comments, the community, including the majority of building and business owners, are in favor of what is happening in the area. We are attracting positive community involvement and attention to our town. As a matter of fact, the only complaints ever lodged about the changes in the area are being lobbied from the owner of the gym that is currently suing the city. Is it possible that they were filing complaints to help bolster their legal dealings, and that under different circumstances they too would be in favor of exactly what we are asking to have amended? The presence of new growth in the area is in alignment with both Hermosa’s history, and her future. This is serving to clean up, promote and shine light on some of what is best about our community. When we moved into the space that is now ShockBoxx, the building was in disrepair, with trash spilling out of dumpsters that contained mattresses, collections of junk leaning on the exterior walls and a large orange van that had been an eyesore and joke on the street for nearly 10 years. In addition to cleaning up the frontage of the building, there is a noticeable absence of the once common drug dealing, violence and intimidation that occurred on the regular. As neighbors and business owners in the area, we are watchful and dedicated to keeping the street clean. As a matter of fact, we regularly sweep the gutters from the building that begins at 717 Cypress and continue beyond ShockBoxx to the bottom of 356 Cypress at 6th street. We do this at no charge to Athens or the City. We do this because we believe in the community and take pride in the area. Look around. Others are following suit. You have heard from the businesses and planning commissioner who report that we share parking with one another, and that some daytime businesses use other’s parking spaces in exchange for use of their space in the evening. So, what HAS happened since ShockBoxx and some of the other new creative spaces have arrived on Cypress? Specific to ShockBoxx, we have hosted art shows for locals to celebrate surfboard manufacturing in the area, for Keoni Boyd to showcase decades of his craft, almost all of which he created in the 717 building of Cypress. We’ve held art openings for local elementary and high school kids…all of these not to make money, but to celebrate the people and power of our community. We’ve opened our doors to allow art shows that raise awareness about marine environments, eating disorders, addiction, gun violence and female empowerment. In addition to this, we’ve created a space that is being talked about in the larger art community. Many of our openings and art endeavors have been featured in or on the cover of local newspapers and magazines. This is not just in the Southbay. We have caught the attention of the global art community. Art patrons, artists, magazines, critics and everybody in between are writing about this little area of Hermosa Beach and how cool the surfboard shapers, music studios, automotive guys, plumbers and woodworkers seem to blend together. They are writing about ShockBoxx and wondering how a little street in Hermosa Beach can attract a Hollywood filmmaker to have his debut solo show and bring in television and film insiders, influential executives and gallery owners one weekend, and a month later host a local photographer’s show that brings back the same crowd. They return because they like the town, the street, and the people they meet here. ShockBoxx is putting Hermosa Beach on the art map as a place to be taken seriously. Local artists are meeting larger opportunities and being celebrated by a wider audience. Just last Saturday we held a photography show that was the result of an international art call. This juried show hosted photographers from as nearby as Hermosa, Redondo, Manhattan and Palos Verdes, and as far away and Montana, New York and Germany. Two of the photographers flew in with their families. They stayed in local hotels for the weekend and I’m guessing they probably ate at local establishments, shopped at local stores, and will likely go home and tell their friends just how cool Hermosa Beach is, and how they too should come visit. The simple ask, and simple solution to help keep this moving forward in responsible fashion, is to amend the zone text to allow for this to continue. One way would be to change typical use hours to 9pm. The other simple solution is to amend the current Temporary Minor Special Event Permit to allow for more than 12 events in a calendar year, or to write a new permit similar to the one used on Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue. This permit could be valid for one or two years, and would still hold businesses accountable to following rules that govern noise and crowd flow.
