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. Concerns were raised due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses, incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances. Section 3. Following the November 19, 2019 public hearing, the Planning Commission directed staff to bring back revised resolutions for indoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel on consent calendar and denying the request for outdoor beer and wine.

Beer and wine service for on-site consumption, indoors only, would include service in the existing indoor bar/lounge. Food and beverages would be limited to hotel guests only and the bar/lounge would not be open to the public. Due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses (which have windows facing the outdoor area), incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances, distance from residential uses is a significant factor in this decision with respect to outdoor beer and wine. Testimony was presented that the wall separating the two uses has not fully mitigated existing noise and this existing condition should not be exacerbated by allowing beer and wine to be consumed in the outdoor area. Parking Plan Resolution 16-16 requires compliance with the following conditions of approval (with condition 8 removed and conditions 9-11 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. The hotel shall only provide food and 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. 19 Page 3- CUP 19-9 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 only would be limited to the hours of Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 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 indoors only 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 project involves no alterations to the existing hotel building 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, when not in conjunction with a restaurant operation, 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 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and since alcohol sale, service and consumption will be limited to indoors, the likelihood of potential impacts between the neighboring residential uses and the commercial hotel use are thereby reduced to an insignificant level 20 Page 4- CUP 19-9 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 indoors only 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. 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. There are precautions in place to assure compatibility with the indoor sale of beer and wine. Due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses (which have windows facing the outdoor area), incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances, distance from residential uses is a significant factor in this decision with respect to outdoor beer and wine. Testimony was presented that the wall separating the two uses has not fully mitigated existing noise and this existing condition should not be exacerbated by allowing beer and wine to be consumed in the outdoor area. 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: Beer and wine sale, service and consumption indoors only within the bar/lounge area 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 project does not include exterior signs or décor. No impacts are anticipated. 21 Page 5- CUP 19-9 I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The hotel with beer and wine sale, service and consumption indoors only limited to no later than 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 PM 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 noise associated with consumption of beer and wine indoors in not anticipated to contribute to additional noise outside. The request for outdoor beer and wine is not appropriate given the existing noise experienced by neighboring residential units and this condition should not be exacerbated by intensifying the outdoor activity with beer and wine sales and consumption. The 4,838 square foot outdoor patio is located in the southwest corner of the building and faces the multiple-family residences to the west and the southwest. 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 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. 22 Page 6- CUP 19-9 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. 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. g. 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 indoors only 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. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby denies the request for a conditional use permit for outdoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, at an existing hotel, pursuant to HBMC Section 17.40. As explained above, outdoor beer and wine sale, service and consumption at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa) is incompatible with CUP criteria A. Distance from existing residential uses; D. The combination of uses proposed; and I. Noise,…that may be generated by the proposed use. The hotel establishment is located in very close proximity to adjacent residential uses. A 33-unit multi-family residential complex neighbors the subject property to the west while a 10-unit multiple family residential complex also neighbors the subject property to the southwest. The residents to the west are located approximately 10-12 feet from the hotel’s west property line and outdoor patio. The 4,838 square foot outdoor patio is located in the southwest corner of the building and faces the multiple-family residences to the west and the southwest. The neighbors have testified that noise from existing activities on the patio exists and the condition should not be exacerbated by intensifying outdoor activity with alcohol use. The Planning Commission denies, in part, CUP 19-9 finding that the request for outdoor beer and wine sale, service and consumption within the 4,838 square foot patio Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM would result in increased potential for alcohol related noise and nuisance concerns due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses and incompatibility of uses. 23 Page 7- CUP 19-9 Section 7. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves, in part, the request for Conditional Use Permit 19-9, approving indoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel, subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The use consisting of a hotel with on-sale beer and wine service indoors only and the site and building shall be substantially consistent with plans and modified approval by the Planning Commission on December 9, 2019.

Any substantial deviation, changes to the floor plan, site plan, building exterior or addition to the hours which alter the primary function of the use as a hotel shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. 2. Parking Plan P.C. Resolutions 16-16 (as amended through P.C. Resolution 19-XX) shall additionally apply. 3. On-sale, service and consumption of beer and wine shall be limited to indoors only Sunday through Thursday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM at an existing hotel (Hotel Hermosa), in conjunction with expanded food service for hotel guests only. 4.

Entertainment, music, speakers, televisions, or audio or visual media of any type, whether amplified or unamplified, shall be prohibited on the exterior of the building, in the open-air areas and within the outdoor patio. 7. The establishment shall not adversely affect the welfare of the residents, and/or commercial establishments nearby. 8. The business shall prevent unruliness and boisterous activities of the patrons on the outdoor patio, outside the business, or in the immediate area. 9.

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 its regular meeting of December 9, 2019. ______________________________ ______________________________ Peter Hoffman, Chair Ken Robertson, Secretary December 9, 2019 Date 28 1 P.C. 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 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. Concerns were raised due to the hotel’s close proximity to adjacent residential uses, incompatibility of uses and the potential for alcohol related noise and nuisances. Section 3. Following the November 19, 2019 public hearing, the Planning Commission directed staff to bring back revised resolutions approving the CUP and Parking Plan Amendments for indoor beer and wine sale, service, and consumption, Friday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at an existing hotel on consent calendar. The requests for outdoor beer and wine were rejected for the reasons noted above. The motion carried with a 4 to 0 vote noting the recusal of Commissioner Saemann. Section 4. The subject project was granted a discretionary Parking Plan in June of 2016 (Planning Commission Resolution 16-16). Section 5. 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 29 2 wine indoors only in conjunction with expanded ancillary food service involves negligible or no expansion of the use. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an amendment to a Parking Plan to account for internal sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine, as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution 16-16, to remove condition 8 (which is more appropriate in the CUP), remove condition 11 which has been incorporated into condition 10 and to modify conditions 9-10 (and to renumber accordingly) to read as follows. The request for outdoor sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine was denied in Resolution No XXXX and the request to amend the Parking Plan is derivative of the request for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine. As a result of the denial of outdoor beer and wine, the Parking Plan Amendment need only reflect the internal sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine. 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. 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 (including the internal sale, service, and consumption of beer and wine) shall be available only for verified and registered hotel guests and shall not be open to the public. Section 7. 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. 30 3 Section 8. Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6, any legal challenge to the decision of the Planning Commission, after exhaustion of any available administrative remedies, must be made within 90 days after the final decision by the City. The Hermosa Beach City Council may on its own initiative review all actions of the planning commission. If the City Council does not initiate review of this decision as set forth in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 2.52.040, this decision will become final. 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 December 9, 2019.

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™66 Staff Report REPORT 19-0802 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™67 Staff Report REPORT 19-0802 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™68 Staff Report REPORT 19-0802 ·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™69 Staff Report REPORT 19-0802 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™70 Staff Report REPORT 19-0802 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.

Achor tenants such as ShockBoxx has brought a buzz & excitement to the South Bay art scene and draws a great demographic of folks for their various gallery events.

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 83 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?

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.

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 96 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.

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 110 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 111 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 113 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 114 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.

The value and upsides are immense - arts are for families, art is missing in our schools, art is therapeutic, art is engaging and art is fun - so yes, expect a lot of fun, music, entertainment, education, inspiration, imagination and energy. This model can be seen in many areas where it has created more vibrant, culturally-rich neighborhoods that help lift city and business revenue and property values - from a highly desired commerce-driven audience. The ordinance clearly requires all events it to be managed properly, with parking addressed, permits acquired, and end-times honored. Let something great happen here that can bring life, culture, history, unity and more art to our community. City ordinances are always change-able, but opportunities like this don't come along that often. Thank you. -Kent Land, Redondo Beach 124 From: Gary Clark <dewey32468@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, December 9, 2019 12:38 PM To: Ann Yang <anny@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: Cypress District Ann Please add this to the Planning Commission Agenda Dear Planning Commission members I worked in the "CYPRESS DISTRICT" for over 30 years.

Applicant/Owner:Dolores M. Slusarz Revocable Living Trust C/O Mark Slusarz 310 21st Street #D Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82783 for a two-unit attached condominium project at 645 10th Street, subject to conditions, and determining the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: GENERAL PLAN:Medium Density Residential ZONING:Two-Family Residential (R-2) LOT SIZE:4,107 square feet PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE:Unit A: 2,604 square feet Unit B: 2,700 square feet PARKING REQUIRED:4 Standard spaces/1 Guest space PARKING PROVIDED: 4 Standard spaces/1 Guest space ON STREET PARKING LOST/GAINED: 0 Lost/0 Gained on-street parking spaces ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Categorically Exempt, CEQA Section 15303(b) (Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) The subject site is located mid-City on the north side of 10th Street, between Ardmore Avenue to the west and Pacific Coast Highway to the east. The 4,107 square foot lot contains a single-family residence with an existing curb cut providing parking access from 10th Street. There is an existing established five-foot wide sidewalk on Monterey Boulevard. th City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™126 Staff Report REPORT 19-0799 Parking for the existing single-family residence is accessed from 10th Street leading to a two-car garage and concrete driveway. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing single-family residence and construct two attached residential condominium units on the subject site. The proposal is to relocate the existing driveway from the east side of the lot to the west side of the lot along 10th Street. The driveway will provide shared access to both units and there is no loss or gain of on-street parking spaces on 10th Street. Units A and B are three level structures that will each contain a two-car garage, bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, an entry hall three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms and laundry room on the second floor; dining room, kitchen, living room, powder room, and deck on the third floor; and roof deck above the third floor level. The architectural styles of both units are contemporary with exterior treatments of concrete horizontal siding; bone white colored smooth stucco, stone and bronze composite window frames. Analysis: A proposal to construct a condominium project requires findings for consideration of a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 and as set forth in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Sections 16.08.060, 17.40.020, and 17.58.030. CEQA Compliance: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15303(b), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, because the proposal pertains to construction of limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of multi-family residential structures in an urbanized area, totaling no more than six dwelling units. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time, or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Basic Zoning Standards: The project complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including the R-2 zone and design standards for condominiums in HBMC Section 17.22.

Access and Parking: Access to the on-site parking is provided through a shared driveway approach that is located on the west side of the lot. The driveway extends to the rear Unit B garage via a 12-foot wide driveway. The driveway slope profiles indicate the driveway slope will be 11.9% at the steepest point; within the maximum allowed slope of 12.5% pursuant to HBMC Section 17.44.120.D. The project has been designed to preserve existing on-street parking spaces by relocating the driveway to the furthest west point of the lot. There is currently one approximately 18-foot long street parking space between the subject site and the property to the west (635 10th Street). The proposed design will provide one approximately 20-foot long street parking space between the subject site and the property to the east (651-653 10th Street). Landscape and Green Measures: All plants must be water conserving as required by the Hermosa Beach Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan (HBMC Section 8.56) and Water Efficient Landscaping (HBMC Section 8.60). The landscape plan includes a mixture of drought tolerant plants including Deer Grass, Lavender, Kangaroo Paws and Aloe. In addition, the landscape plan will include two 24-inch box size City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™128 Staff Report REPORT 19-0799 Pygmy Date Palm trees, one of which will be planted within the front yard planter and the other will be planted in the northeast rear yard. The project is conditioned to ensure that all planting materials and trees comply with HBMC Section 8.60, Water Efficient Landscaping. The landscape plan shows that catch basins with sump pumps will be provided on-site and an automatic irrigation system with a moisture sensor is proposed for the landscaped areas. The project must comply with Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control Regulations. Additionally, 65% of demolition debris must be recycled, and cement used in foundation mix design must be reduced by not less than 20%, among other requirements. Hermosa Beach’s Electrical Code (Section 15.32) requires installation of conduit sized to accommodate solar energy and solar thermal systems. Compatibility with surrounding area: The subject site is zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood consisting of both attached and detached two-unit condominiums on a lot with shared driveways leading to parking courtyards which provide vehicle access to the units. Subdivision Map: The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82783.A vesting tentative parcel map grants vested rights to proceed with a project in accordance with the ordinances, polices and standards in effect at the time the application for approval of the vesting tentative map is completed. The proposed two-unit condominium is on an existing standard lot, meeting the minimum 4,000 square foot lot size minimum with a 38-foot lot width. The R-2 zone requires a minimum lot size of 1,750 square feet per unit; thus allowing a maximum of two dwelling units on the 4,107 square foot lot. The lot is similar to surrounding lot sizes and lot widths within the same zone, and the General Plan Land Use designation for lots in the vicinity, and thus complies with Hermosa Beach ordinances regarding subdivision of lots. The project is conditioned upon payment of Park and Recreation Area Dedication fees for each unit as there is inadequate area on-site for land dedication per City required Parks and Recreation Area fees. The proposed two-unit condominium can connect to the existing utilities that service the residential uses in the immediate neighborhood. In addition, the existing utilities have the capacity to serve the proposed development. The submitted plans were preliminarily reviewed by the Fire Department, Public Works Department, and Building & Safety Division, and no major concerns were identified. The proposed subdivision and improvements are compliant with criteria for approval of a subdivision map and are not likely to cause serious public health problems within the proposed subdivision. The design of the proposed subdivision is compatible with the immediate residential environment. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™129 Staff Report REPORT 19-0799 General Plan Consistency: The proposed two-unit condominium is located within the Medium Density Residential (MD) General Plan Land Use designation area, the purpose of which is to provide for the enhancement and reinvestment in mixed scale residential neighborhoods in Hermosa Beach. This medium density residential designation permits property owners to construct two residential units on a single lot. It is located throughout the city to provide a transition between higher density residential or commercial uses and single-family neighborhoods. Appropriate land uses include small-scale residential uses, including single family, duplex, condominiums, and townhouses in a two unit per lot format. The appropriate density range is between 13.1 to 25 dwelling units per acre. The subject site is also located within the Greenbelt Neighborhood character area as indicated in the City’s General Plan, which offers a range of small scale residential development types and provides nearby access to commercial services along Pacific Coast Highway. Single-family homes and duplexes currently coexist side by side. The future vision of this neighborhood includes maintaining the building scale and form of this neighborhood. Lots range from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet and setbacks are generally smaller in this area than the predominantly single-family neighborhoods. Designing two to four unit complexes to resemble single- family homes with articulation and separate entrances is desirable. This area contains a diversity of residential typologies on small, regularly shaped parcels with an absence of alleys, which leads to a greater need for garages to be located on front facades. The design and orientation of buildings in this neighborhood vary due to the sloped nature of the lots. The proposed project is consistent with the MD Land Use designation in that it will contribute to the residential neighborhood as a multi-family (two-unit on a single lot) development and meets the intention of the Greenbelt Neighborhood character area with a density of 21.21 dwelling units per acre. The design of the attached two-unit development is consistent with the Greenbelt character area in that the front building provides a greater than five-foot front yard setback, vehicle access is provided via a single shared driveway providing access to both units, and building articulation with both units providing large balconies and roof decks with a mixture of architectural finishes. Land Use Goal 2 states “While each neighborhood in Hermosa Beach is distinct, they each provide a variety of housing types, densities, designs and mix of uses and services that collectively reflect the small beach town character. The diversity of building types responds to the diversity of the city’s population and the desire to create interesting and varied neighborhoods.” Specifically, Land Use Goal 2 Policy 2.1 states “Neighborhoods are complete and well-structured by encouraging, where appropriate, the following characteristics including having homes with entries and windows facing the street. Although the design does not incorporate a front facing entry for Unit A, the design does provide two front facing balconies with partial transparent glass guardrails and large vertical windows which encourages having “eyes on the street.” The Greenbelt Neighborhood character area also does not specifically identify front facing entries as a character defining “building design and orientation” unlike other character areas such as the North End Neighborhood which specifically states “Buildings should have a primary entrance onto the numbered streets, and are encouraged to have a secondary City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™130 Staff Report REPORT 19-0799 entrance on perpendicular streets.” In addition, The Greenbelt Neighborhood Public Realm Design acknowledges that “the design and orientation of buildings in this neighborhood vary due to the sloped nature of the lots.” The proposed design features implement the following PLAN Hermosa goals and many of its policies in the Land Use policies 1.6 Scale and Context., 2.1 Complete Neighborhoods, 2.3 Balanced Neighborhoods, 2.6 Diversity of building types and styles, 2.7 Context sensitive design, 5.1 Scale and Massing, 5.6 Eclectic and diverse architecture, and 6.9 Shared driveways. Perfect consistency is not required with all General Plan policies. Consistency means that the project does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals. The proposed uses are in line with the City’s long-term vision set out in the General Plan and the overall project does not impede the City’s ability to meet its goals Summary: The project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map as conditioned are consistent with the zoning code, subdivision laws and other relevant provisions of the Municipal Code, and the site is physically suitable for the type and density of proposed development. Therefore, staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #82783 for a two-unit attached condominium project at 645 10th Street, and determining the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Resolution 19-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND VESTING TENATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 82783 FOR A TWO-UNIT ATTACHED CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 645 10TH STREET, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 4, BLOCK 78 OF THE SECOND ADDITION TO HERMOSA BEACH TRACT, CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH AND DETERMINING THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed on July 15, 2019 by the property owner/applicant Dolores M. Slusarz Revocable Living Trust, for development of property located at 645 10th Street, seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit 19-4, Precise Development Plan 19-7, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82783 for a proposed two-unit attached residential condominium. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on December 9, 2019, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. The Planning Commission hereby finds, determines, and declares the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(b), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures because the proposal pertains to construction of limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of multi-family residential structures in an urbanized area, totaling no more than six dwelling units. Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time, or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the California Government Code Section 66474 and Section 16.08.060 of the Municipal Code. 1. The proposal is generally consistent with the General Plan in that it does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals with regard to the Medium Density (MD) Residential designation that allows for multiple dwellings. The proposal meets the Medium Density designation because it will provide two-units on a 4,107 square foot lot. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with applicable development standards set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) for the R-2 zone. 132 2 2. The site is physically suitable for a two-unit attached residential condominium project. The two-unit attached residential condominium project contains a total of five on-site parking spaces with four spaces located within garages and one guest parking space. This development complies with all development standards and does not require approval of a deviation. 3. The subdivision and improvements provide for adequate drainage, sanitation and potable water, underground utilities, parking and construction requirements, and therefore are not likely to cause public health problems. The project as conditioned will provide permeable surfacing and storm water retention facilities to the maximum extent feasible per HBMC Section 8.44.095 and any additional non-percolated or retained storm water will be conveyed to an onsite subsurface infiltration system as required by HBMC Section 8.44.095 subject to maintenance agreements. 4. The proposed subdivision will front on a public street, will provide vehicular access from 10th Street and does not exhibit dedicated public easements. Therefore, the subdivision and improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. 5. Design of the proposed subdivision as conditioned is generally compatible and consistent with applicable elements of the City’s General Plan, and with the prevailing approximately 4,000 square foot lot sizes, and prevailing approximately 38-45-foot lot frontages in the immediate environment. In addition, design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with purposes of the General Plan land use designation, density, applicable HBMC development standards, parking, access, and services are provided. 6. The project, as conditioned, will conform to all zoning requirements including, but not limited to setbacks, lot coverage, open space, building height, and parking. The project also conforms to all condominium standards including, but not limited to private storage space, minimum unit sizes, architecture and building layout, landscaping, and will be compatible with neighboring properties that are developed with similar multi-story multi-family residences. 7. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303(b) since the project is construction of a limited numbers (two) of new, small structures. 8. The proposed subdivision will be consistent with the prevailing lot patterns and is not likely to reduce property values in the surrounding neighborhood area because the project is similar to surrounding development, consists only of the division of airspace at less than the maximum density allowed, and conditions have been placed on the project to ensure compatibility. Section 5. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines and declares pertaining to the application for Conditional Use 133 3 Permit and Precise Development Plan pursuant to Sections 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code. 1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects; The subject site is zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west of the subject site. The subject site is large enough to accommodate two units. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story multi-family residences. 2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need; The proposed two-unit condominium will provide vehicular access through a shared driveway located on the west side of the subject site from 10th Street leading to two two-car garages, which provides a total of four off-street enclosed parking spaces on-site. In addition, one on-site guest parking space will be provided and shared between both units. 3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility; The proposed two-unit attached residential use is consistent and compatible because the immediate neighborhood includes multi-family residences. 4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area; 10th Street is designated in the General Plan as a local street, and has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development and surrounding neighborhood. 5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area; The proposed two-unit condominium will not have signs, thus will not be incompatible with the area. Nevertheless, it is important to consider the architectural style (décor) as part of this approval. The applicant is proposing a contemporary style, which can be found on other properties in the neighborhood. Accordingly, the décor of the building will be compatible with the existing residences in the area. 6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences, schools, churches, hospitals and playgrounds; The subject site is zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential with similar residentially zoned properties to the north, east, south and west. Similar residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences with some single-story single-family residences. The proposed layout of the building is consistent with multiple-family residential buildings in the immediate neighborhood consisting of both attached and detached two-unit condominiums on a lot with shared driveways leading to parking courtyards which provide vehicle access to the units. The proposed project is consistent with the MD Land Use designation in that it will contribute to the residential neighborhood as a multi-family (two-unit on a single lot) development and meets the intention of the Greenbelt Neighborhood character area with a density of 21.21 dwelling units per acre. The design of the attached two-unit development is consistent with the Greenbelt character area in that the front building provides a greater than 134 4 five-foot front yard setback, vehicle access is provided via a single shared driveway providing access to both units, and building articulation with both units providing large balconies and roof decks with a mixture of architectural finishes. Although the front unit entry is not oriented towards the street the façade incorporates two front facing balconies and large vertical windows which help to provide a pedestrian oriented design. 7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use; The proposed two-unit attached condominium is not anticipated to create adverse impacts because the proposed use of the property is residential, which is consistent with the use of the surrounding residential neighborhood. Construction of the two-unit condominium will cause temporary noise, odor, dust, and vibration, but they will be ceased when the construction has been completed. 8. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services; The proposed two-unit condominium can connect to the existing utilities that service the residential uses in the immediate neighborhood. There is sufficient capacity to serve the proposed two-unit condominium. 9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms; The proposed two-unit condominium does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed residential use and building design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and General Plan. Nevertheless, multiple conditions of approval have been incorporated into this action. With these conditions, any potential impact will be mitigated. 10. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the planning commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. None noted. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the subject Conditional Use Permit 19-4 Precise Development Plan 19-7, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82783 for a two-unit attached condominium subject to the following Conditions of Approval: General: 1.

Applicant:Liliana Somma and Dan Galitzen Studio 1137, LLC 7417 Coastal View Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90045 Owner:Pearl Diamond LLC 1214 Getotruoa Ave. Redondo Beach, Ca 90277 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolutions approving CUP 19-11 to allow a dance and music studio (assembly hall) at 402 Pacific Coast Highway (Studio 1137 School of Dance and Music), and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background ZONING:SPA-7 Specific Plan Area No. 7 GENERAL PLAN:Community Commercial, Pacific Coast Highway Corridor EXISTING USE:Coin Operated Laundry Business PROPOSED USE:Dance and Music Studio (Assembly Hall) LOT SIZE:Approximately 9,660 sq. ft. BUILDING AREA:4,066 sq. ft. total; 2,000 sq. ft. tenant space adjacent to 2,066 sq. ft. liquor store PARKING PROVIDED:12 parking spaces for 2 tenants ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt, Section 15301(a), Class 1 Exemption, Existing Facilities because the proposal pertains to an existing structure and involves only minor alterations to the structure. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 8 powered by Legistar™158 Staff Report REPORT 19-0815 Located within the Pacific Coast Highway corridor, the subject building at 402 Pacific Coast Highway is located at the northwest corner of Pacific Coast Highway and 4th Street. The subject tenant space is on the east portion of a one-story, two-tenant building currently occupied by Pacific Coast Laundry at the proposed space at 402 Pacific Coast Highway adjacent to Hermosa Wine and Spirits at 400 Pacific Coast Highway. The nearest residences in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone are a multi-family residential building immediately across the alley 24 feet to the northeast; and a single family residence across the 24 foot wide alley, beyond the18 feet deep row of public parking, plus 2 feet residential setback, totaling 44 feet to the east of the proposed dance and music studio. The proposed business, Studio 1137 School of Dance and Music, is a dance and music studio and assembly hall use that proposes to provide dance instruction, including ballet, tap, hip hop, jazz, and wedding preparation; and music instruction including guitar, voice, violin, and piano. Though the hours requested are for Monday through Saturday proposed between 9:00 A.M. and 9:30 P.M., the proposed resolution condition of approval limits these hours 7 days a week to be consistent with recently-approved assembly hall fitness uses and to not restrict the business in the occasional case where instruction occurs on a Sunday. The business proposes up to 18 students and 3 instructors at one time in its 2 dance studio areas and the small music room. The music instruction studio is limited in size at 9 feet by 5 feet, 4 inches, at 48 square feet, which would limit instruction to one student. Equipment will include mirrors and ballet barres in each of the 2 dance studios. The dance studio flooring is described as a floating floor with 2,900 high density foam blocks (an estimated quantity) of 2-inch cubes that rest underneath each of the two 18.25 ft. x 40 ft. dance floor surface to decrease vibration. Plans indicate there will be 4 wall-mounted speakers to be installed near the front and rear of each of the two dance studios. A condition of approval is included in the proposed CUP resolution requiring the doors and windows to be closed when the speakers are in use. Analysis The project site is located in SPA-7 (Specific Plan Area No. 7) zone, which refers to the C-3 (General Commercial) zone for permitted uses. The SPA-7 zoning designation is located on the east and west sides of Pacific Coast Highway and is designated as part of the Pacific Coast Highway commercial corridor. The purpose of this specific plan area is to set forth the development requirements, standards, and permitted uses for the subject area, and to carry out the policies of the commercial corridor general plan area. The PLAN Hermosa General Plan designates the area as Community Commercial (CC). This designation provides space for locally oriented commercial uses including retail stores, restaurants, professional and medical offices, and personal services. Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.26.030, the proposed dance and music studio use requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the SPA-7 zone as stated in the permitted use list for a “music academy” and as required for an “assembly hall.” The HBMC defines an assembly hall as any building, or portion of a building, used for public or private gatherings. For example, and without limitation, “assembly hall" includes convention/meeting halls, business schools, funeral homes, gymnasium/health and fitness centers, educational institutions (K-12), game arcades with five (5) or more machines, miniature golf courses, large day City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 8 powered by Legistar™159 Staff Report REPORT 19-0815 spas, movie theaters, museums, music academies, religious institutions, and skating rinks, whether available for public or private use. CUP Criteria, Conditions and Standards 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 nearest residences are a multi-family residential building immediately across the alley 24 feet to the northeast; and a single family residence across the 24 foot wide alley, beyond the18 feet deep row of public parking, plus 2 feet residential setback, totaling 44 feet to the east of the proposed dance and music studio. Both nearby residential buildings are in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone. Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to reduce potential noise and vibration impacts to nearby uses, including sound dampening materials to be located in the studio, requiring doors and windows to be closed during classes, requiring that the building be equipped with air conditioning, and requiring that any noise emanating from the property complies with the City's Noise Ordinance. B.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The proposed dance and music studio is proposed in a 2,000 square foot single story tenant space located at the northeast corner of the center of Pacific Coast Highway and 4th Street. The existing two-tenant building currently, with 4,066 square feet total, is required by code to supply 16 spaces and is currently non-conforming. 12 parking spaces are available in the joint parking lot adjacent to the front door. There are also 8 metered public parking spaces across the alley. The parking requirement for a dance and music studio falls under the category of a smaller gymnasiums/health and fitness center, as follows: a.Less than or equal to three thousand (3,000) square feet and with less than or equal to twenty (20) students at one time if classes are offered: one (1) space per two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross floor area. The proposed dance and music studio is 2,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 18 students at one time. This parking ratio is similar to that required for general retail uses, as well as the existing laundry facility in the proposed tenant space. Therefore, based on parking City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 8 powered by Legistar™160 Staff Report REPORT 19-0815 requirements, the parking demand will not be intensified for the proposed dance and music studio. C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: Bi-Centennial Park, located at 4th Street and Valley Drive, is the nearest of these types of sensitive receptors at approximately 1,200 feet west of the project site. Due to the distance and characteristics of a dance and music studio, the proposed use is not anticipated to have adverse effects on Bi-Centennial Park. Conditions of approval have been added to the draft resolution to mitigate potential impacts and it is unlikely that the proposed use will affect similar sensitive receptors in the vicinity. D. The combination of uses proposed: The 2,000 square foot tenant space will be dedicated to Studio 1137 Dance and Music Studio and will not be combined with any other uses. Because the use will be located within a multi- tenant building with a retail liquor store in a 4,066 square foot building, the proposed use, as conditioned, is anticipated to have minimal impacts on the surrounding commercial or residential uses or buildings. Noise and vibration impacts and mitigations are detailed further in criteria I below, while parking is detailed in criteria B above. E. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In order to assure compatibility with surrounding uses, the business owner proposes to utilize sound speakers within the studio portion of the interior only. A condition is included requiring the dance and music studio to keep the doors and windows closed during classes when the speakers are on. Conditions are also included to limit the dance and music studio to a maximum of 20 students during open hours (9:00 A.M and 9:30 P.M. daily) and all business operations must be contained within the tenant space. A minimum amount of equipment is necessary for dance and music instruction, including permanently installed mirrors and ballet barres in the dance studios. The small music studio will use musical instruments including guitar, violin, and piano for instruction and due to size will be limited to one-on-one instruction. The business owner is constructing the dance and music studio with sound-minimizing windows and doors (specifications from Arcadia Acoustic Products included in plans). The dance studio flooring will be constructed as a “floating floor” that rests on approximately 2,900 high density foam blocks of 2-inch cubes underneath each of the dance floor surfaces to decrease vibration. These precautions are intended to minimize impacts related to noise and vibration. Conditions of approval are included to ensure these precautions are maintained throughout the life of the operation and, as conditioned, it is anticipated that the proposed establishment will be compatible with existing surrounding uses. Noise and vibration impacts City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 8 powered by Legistar™161 Staff Report REPORT 19-0815 are detailed further in criteria I below. F. The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets serving the area: The proposed school of dance and music (assembly hall) is 2,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 20 students at one time. The required parking ratio is similar to the existing laundry facility in the proposed tenant space. Therefore, the parking demand will not be intensified for the proposed dance and music studio. Pacific Coast Highway is classified as a Major Arterial Street designed to carry large volumes of traffic. 4th Street is considered a Local Street designed to provide connections within neighborhoods. Local streets are not intended to serve through traffic and are generally one lane each direction with lower vehicle volumes. The adjacent Alley is considered an Alleyway to provide access to private properties, including parking spaces and garages. G. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The exterior façade modifications proposed with this request are minor; the existing Spanish tile roof canopy and existing brick veneer will remain. The front door and windows will be replaced with a new acoustic storefront door and windows. Any proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application and conform to the HBMC Section 17.50 for Signs. H. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: Studio 1137 School of Dance and Music will join one other nearby music studio at 300 Pacific Coast Highway, one similar combined dance and music studio on Aviation Boulevard, and one other small dance studio on Hermosa Avenue within Hermosa Beach. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The proposal for Studio 1137 Dance and Music is to conduct dance classes using mirrors and permanently-installed bars in the dance studio and a floating floor supported by foam cubes to reduce vibration for up to 20 students. The music classes will include musical instruments such as guitar, violin, and piano. The proposed hours of operation are 9:00 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. The business proposes 4 wall-mounted speakers in the dance studio portion of the tenant space to be used when the doors and windows are closed. The tenant space has existing air conditioning and ventilation, which facilitates keeping all doors and windows closed. Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses, such as closing the doors when amplified sound is provided within the building, maintaining a neat and clean premises, complying with the City's City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 8 powered by Legistar™162 Staff Report REPORT 19-0815 Noise Ordinance, and all activities must be conducted within the tenant space. The proposed dance and music studio (assembly hall) use, as conditioned, is not anticipated to create adverse impacts. J. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services: The existing building is adequately served by the various utility companies, infrastructure and municipal services, and the proposed use is not anticipated to place additional burden on current infrastructure and services. K. Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area: There are 3 dance and/or music studios located within the City of Hermosa Beach, with one music instruction facility located along or nearby the Pacific Coast Highway Corridor, including at 300 Pacific Coast Highway, one dance and music instruction facility at 1089 Aviation Blvd., and one small dance studio at 1221 Hermosa Avenue. Dance and music studios support the Hermosa Beach arts and cultural community and the associated goals and policies of PLAN Hermosa. Due to the size and type of the proposed business, there are no anticipated negative impacts from a concentration dance and music based businesses. L. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. The proposed application is CUP 19-11 is for a dance and music (assembly hall)studio at 402 Pacific Coast Highway (Studio 1137 Dance and Music).The proposed resolution for CUP 19- 11 includes applicable conditions of approval. Environmental Determination: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15301(a),Class 1 Exemption,Existing Facilities because the proposal pertains to an existing structure and involves only minor alterations to the interior of the structure,such as interior partitions or electrical and mechanical permits and minor alterations to the exterior including a new door and windows.Moreover,none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption apply nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time,or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances,or damage a scenic highway or scenic resource within a state scenic highway.The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. General Plan Consistency: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 6 of 8 powered by Legistar™163 Staff Report REPORT 19-0815 The proposed establishment is located within the Community Commercial (CC) General Plan land use area.

Both nearby residential buildings are in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone. 166 2 Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to reduce potential noise and vibration impacts to nearby uses, including sound dampening materials to be located in the studio, requiring doors and windows to be closed during classes, requiring that the building be equipped with air conditioning, and requiring that any noise emanating from the property complies with the City's Noise Ordinance. B. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the proposed use: The proposed dance and music studio is proposed in a 2,000 square foot single story tenant space located at the northeast corner of the center of Pacific Coast Highway and 4th Street. The existing two-tenant building currently, with 4,066 square feet total, is required by code to supply 16 spaces and is currently non-conforming. 12 parking spaces are available in the joint parking lot adjacent to the front door. There are also 8 metered public parking spaces across the alley. The parking requirement for a dance and music studio falls under the category of a smaller gymnasiums/health and fitness center, as follows: a. Less than or equal to three thousand (3,000) square feet and with less than or equal to twenty (20) students at one time if classes are offered: one (1) space per two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross floor area. The proposed dance and music studio is 2,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 18 students at one time. This parking ratio is similar to that required for general retail uses, as well as the existing laundry facility in the proposed tenant space. Therefore, based on parking requirements, the parking demand will not be intensified for the proposed dance and music studio. C. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: Bi-Centennial Park, located at 4th Street and Valley Drive, is the nearest of these types of sensitive receptors at approximately 1,200 feet west of the project site. Due to the distance and characteristics of a dance and music studio, the proposed use is not anticipated to have adverse effects on Bi-Centennial Park. Conditions of approval have been added to the draft resolution to mitigate potential impacts and it is unlikely that the proposed use will affect similar sensitive receptors in the vicinity. D. The combination of uses proposed: The 2,000 square foot tenant space will be dedicated to Studio 1137 Dance and Music Studio and will not be combined with any other uses. Because the use will be located within a multi-tenant building with a retail liquor store in a 4,066 square foot building, the proposed use, as conditioned, is anticipated to have minimal impacts on the surrounding commercial or residential uses or buildings. Noise and vibration impacts and mitigations are detailed further in criteria I below, while parking is detailed in criteria B above. 167 3 E. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses: In order to assure compatibility with surrounding uses, the business owner proposes to utilize sound speakers within the studio portion of the interior only. A condition is included requiring the dance and music studio to keep the doors and windows closed during classes when the speakers are on. Conditions are also included to limit the dance and music studio to a maximum of 20 students during open hours (9:00 A.M and 9:30 P.M. daily) and all business operations must be contained within the tenant space. A minimum amount of equipment is necessary for dance and music instruction, including permanently installed mirrors and ballet barres in the dance studios. The small music studio will use musical instruments including guitar, violin, and piano for instruction and due to size will be limited to one-on-one instruction. The business owner is constructing the dance and music studio with sound-minimizing windows and doors (specifications from Arcadia Acoustic Products included in plans). The dance studio flooring will be constructed as a “floating floor” that rests on approximately 2,900 high density foam blocks of 2-inch cubes underneath each of the dance floor surfaces to decrease vibration. These precautions are intended to minimize impacts related to noise and vibration. Conditions of approval are included to ensure these precautions are maintained throughout the life of the operation and, as conditioned, it is anticipated that the proposed establishment will be compatible with existing surrounding uses. Noise and vibration impacts are detailed further in criteria I below. F. The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets serving the area: The proposed school of dance and music (assembly hall) is 2,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 20 students at one time. The required parking ratio is similar to the existing laundry facility in the proposed tenant space. Therefore, the parking demand will not be intensified for the proposed dance and music studio. Pacific Coast Highway is classified as a Major Arterial Street designed to carry large volumes of traffic. 4th Street is considered a Local Street designed to provide connections within neighborhoods. Local streets are not intended to serve through traffic and are generally one lane each direction with lower vehicle volumes. The adjacent Alley is considered an Alleyway to provide access to private properties, including parking spaces and garages. G. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The exterior façade modifications proposed with this request are minor; the existing Spanish tile roof canopy and existing brick veneer will remain. The front door and windows will be replaced with a new acoustic storefront door and windows. Any proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application and conform to the HBMC Section 17.50 for Signs. H. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: 168 4 Studio 1137 School of Dance and Music will join one other nearby music studio at 300 Pacific Coast Highway, one similar combined dance and music studio on Aviation Boulevard, and one other small dance studio on Hermosa Avenue within Hermosa Beach. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The proposal for Studio 1137 Dance and Music is to conduct dance classes using mirrors and permanently-installed bars in the dance studio and a floating floor supported by foam cubes to reduce vibration for up to 20 students. The music classes will include musical instruments such as guitar, violin, and piano. The proposed hours of operation are 9:00 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. The business proposes 4 wall-mounted speakers in the dance studio portion of the tenant space to be used when the doors and windows are closed. The tenant space has existing air conditioning and ventilation, which facilitates keeping all doors and windows closed. Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses, such as closing the doors when amplified sound is provided within the building, maintaining a neat and clean premises, complying with the City's Noise Ordinance, and all activities must be conducted within the tenant space. The proposed dance and music studio (assembly hall) use, as conditioned, is not anticipated to create adverse impacts. J. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services: The existing building is adequately served by the various utility companies, infrastructure and municipal services, and the proposed use is not anticipated to place additional burden on current infrastructure and services. K. Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area: There are 3 dance and/or music studios located within the City of Hermosa Beach, with one music instruction facility located along or nearby the Pacific Coast Highway Corridor, including at 300 Pacific Coast Highway, one dance and music instruction facility at 1089 Aviation Blvd., and one small dance studio at 1221 Hermosa Avenue. Dance and music studios support the Hermosa Beach arts and cultural community and the associated goals and policies of PLAN Hermosa. Due to the size and type of the proposed business, there are no anticipated negative impacts from a concentration dance and music based businesses. L. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole. The proposed application is CUP 19-11 is for a dance and music (assembly hall) studio at 402 Pacific Coast Highway (Studio 1137 Dance and Music). The proposed resolution for CUP 19-11 includes applicable conditions of approval. SECTION 5.

REPORT 19-0815 CUP 19-11: Conditional Use Permit request to allow a dance and music studio (assembly hall) at 402 Pacific Coast Highway (Studio 1137 School of Dance and Music) and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). eComment: Dear Planning Commission members, As a 21 year home owner whose residence is located within 200 feet of the proposed dance and music studio at 402 Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa Beach, I am generally supportive of this new business. But, I have 4 issues of concern. 1. There must be effective sound proofing installed, and the doors must remain closed at all times. 2. High wattage flood lights, used in the past to illuminate the parking lot, yet shine brightly on nearby residences, are not acceptable. Properly angled security lighting, used at the rear of the building in the alley to eliminate dark areas and discourage dumping and public urination, is acceptable. 3. The proposed rebuilt trash dumpster enclosure at the rear of the building must remain locked at all times, except when the business deposits trash. This will prevent transients from pulling the contents of the dumpster out onto the ground, causing a large trash mess that invariably blows into the adjacent neighborhood. 4. A no dumping sign must be installed on the rear wall of the building, in the alley. I look forward to seeing this new business thrive in the years to come. If the proprietors of the dance and music studio respect the quality of life issues I have described, then we should all get along just fine.

As a long-time resident of one of the homes located directly across the street from the proposed dance and music studio, I would like to welcome the business to its new location! I do have some important suggestions to make, though, which will contribute to the overall business success of the studio and its relationship with its students and the surrounding residences: 1) Adequate security lighting must be provided (especially in the alley way), but the level of brightness must be kept low enough, so as not to interfere with the daily living activities of the neighboring residences. 2) Heavy duty noise reduction glass and noise prevention acoustics must be installed. The businesses and residents of the PCH Corridor are already exposed to an over abundance of noise pollution, caused by traffic noise. 3) The new trash enclosure must remain locked at all times, only to be opened and immediately locked again by employees of the wine and spirits shop and the dance studio. 4) Signage must be provided on the east side of the building, clearly stating the penalties for illegal dumping, loitering, public intoxication, and urination. 5) Signs should be installed that convey the message that delivery trucks need to watch out for pedestrians, including small children. In addition, the parking lot must be maintained in a clean manner and all trash and liquor bottles should be consistently removed. 6) It is important that the building’s safety should be maintained and the outer bricks and tiles should be cleaned or painted, as the building has become dilapidated and is a local eyesore. All in all, I am very enthusiastic about the new dance and music studio, bringing additional dance and music instruction to our local community and once, again, would like to welcome it to the neighborhood! Kind regards, Marylou Puckett 183 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of December 9, 2019 Zone Text Amendment 19-2, a request to amend the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, related to regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), as mandated by State law, and determination that the project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council approve Zone Text Amendment 19-2, thereby amending Section 17.04.040, Chapter 17.21, and Section 17.44.020 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code regarding Accessory Dwelling Units and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Background: An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is an attached or detached residential dwelling unit, which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. ADUs include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same lot as the primary residence. Like ADUs, junior accessory dwelling units (JADU) provide an independent living facility; however, JADUs are limited to 500 square feet in size and can share bathrooms with the primary dwelling on the site. In the City of Hermosa Beach, ADUs and JADUs are permitted in all residential zones (provided the property is improved with a single-family residence and meets certain lot requirements) and are regulated in the City of Hermosa Beach through Municipal Code Chapter 17.21. The existing rules were adopted in 2018, as a result of new state legislation that required the city to adopt an ordinance to implement the new state policy to create more housing opportunities through creation of ADUs. This was one of many bills that year aimed at addressing the statewide housing crisis. In 2019, the California Legislature adopted another group of housing bills, still aimed at addressing the housing crisis. This year, the legislature approved, and the Governor signed, SB 13 (Chapter 653, Statutes of 2019), AB 68 (Chapter 655, Statutes of 2019), and AB 881 (Chapter 659, Statutes of 2019) into law that, among other things, amended Government Code section 65852.2 and 65852.22 to impose new limits on the city to regulate ADUs and JADUs. While three similar ADU bills were adopted, only the bill with the highest chapter number goes into effect and thus, we look at AB 881 for the governing language (“New ADU Law”). The State Legislature intends to reduce regulatory barriers and costs, streamline approval, and expand the potential capacity for ADUs in response to California's housing shortage. These changes will assist the City in meeting its allotment for the upcoming RHNA cycle. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 13 powered by Legistar™184 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 Failure to comply with Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 (as amended) as of January 1, 2020 renders the City’s ordinance regulating ADUs and JADUs null and void, thereby limiting the City to the application of the few default standards provided in Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 for the approval of ADUs and JADUs, unless and until a compliant ordinance is adopted. Analysis: The “New ADU Law” eliminates minimum lot sizes, allow ADUs in multiple-family residential projects, restrict parking limitations, increases the maximum allowable size of ADU’s, decreases setbacks, eliminate replacement parking requirements when a garage is converted, and eliminates owner- occupancy requirements. A summary of the major changes is as follows: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 2 of 13 powered by Legistar™185 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 3 of 13 powered by Legistar™186 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 In order to preserve as much local authority as allowed under the law, the City needs to amend the Zoning Code to bring the City into compliance with the “New ADU Law.” Text Amendment 19-2 amends Chapter 17.21 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code for the construction of ADUs and JADUs to comply with the amended provisions of Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. As previously noted, failure to comply with the “New ADU Law” renders the City’s ordinance regulating ADUs and JADUs null and void, thereby limiting the City to the application of the few default standards provided in Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. The approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on the default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety. As such, staff recommends that the Planning Commission hold a public hearing and recommend approval of the below amendments to the HBMC, as required under state law. The following new definitions will be added to the alphabetical list of definitions in Section 17.04.040: “Accessory structure” means a structure that is accessory and incidental to a dwelling located on the same lot. “Complete independent living facilities” means permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multifamily dwelling is or will be situated. “Nonconforming zoning condition” means a lawfully established physical improvement on a property that does not conform to current zoning standards. “Passageway” means a pathway that is unobstructed clear to the sky. “Proposed dwelling” means a dwelling that is the subject of a permit application and that meets the requirements for permitting. “Public transit” means a location, including, but not limited to, a bus stop or train station, where City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 4 of 13 powered by Legistar™187 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 the public may access buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public (applicable to Chapter 17.21 only). The proposed text amendment would revise Chapter 17.21 in its entirety to read as follows: Chapter 17.21 Accessory Dwelling Units 17.21.010 Purpose The purpose of this section is to allow and regulate accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) in compliance with California Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. 17.21.020 Effect of Conforming.

B.Deemed to exceed the allowable density for the lot on which the ADU or JADU is located. C.Considered in the application of any local ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth. 17.21.020 Approvals Provided an ADU and/or JADU complies with all of the requirements set forth in this chapter, applications for ADUs and JADUs may submit directly to Planning and Building plan check, including payment of all required plan check fees. No other administrative or discretionary permit is required. 17.21.030 ADUs and JADUs ADUs and JADUs shall be permitted in any zone that allows residential development, except the Mobilehome Park Development (MHP) District. The following is the maximum number of ADUs and/or JADUs allowed on a residential property: A.Converted on Single-Family Lot: Only one ADU or JADU on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling on it.

Such storage containers shall be provided in any one (1) of the following ways: 1.Attached to the outside of the structure on privately owned property, enclosed on all sides by suitable screening of not less than four (4) feet in height or similar type of structure so that the same shall not be open to public view, one (1) side of which may be opened as a gate. Such storage facilities shall have a concrete, asphalt or similar base and shall be adequately ventilated; or 2.Constructed within the building structure; or 3.A separate structure enclosed on all sides by suitable screening of not less than four (4) feet in height or similar type of structure so that the same shall not be open to public view, one (1) side of which may be opened as a gate.

City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 9 of 13 powered by Legistar™192 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 17.21.050 Historic Resource Preservation Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, all requirements set forth in Chapter 17.53 (Historic Resources Preservation) of this code shall apply. 17.21.060 Short-Term Rentals Short-term rentals shall be prohibited in all ADUs and JADUs, as set forth in Sections 17.08.025, 17.10.015, 17.12.015, 17.14.015, 17.16.015, 17.18.025 and 17.20.015. 17.21.070 Owner-Occupancy A.For all ADUs create before January 1, 2020, a natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or ADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. B.For any ADU that is created on or after January 1, 2020, but before January 1, 2025, there shall be no owner-occupancy requirement. C.For all ADUs create on or after January 1, 2025, a natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or ADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. D.For all JADUs, a natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in the primary dwelling unit, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owner-occupancy requirement of this paragraph does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization. 17.21.080 No Separate Conveyance An ADU or JADU may be rented, but no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multiple-family lot). 17.21.090 Deed restriction and Recordation Required Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction shall be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Community Development Director. The deed restriction shall run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and shall include the following: A.The ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. B.The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 10 of 13 powered by Legistar™193 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 chapter, including the prohibition on short term rentals. C.The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners. D.The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Community Development Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Community Development Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Community Development Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. E.The deed restriction is enforceable by the Community Development Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit. 17.21.100 Fees F.Impact Fees. 1.No impact fee is required for an ADU that is less than 750 square feet in size. 2.Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that is 750 square feet or larger in size must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the primary dwelling, divided by the floor area of the ADU, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.) “Impact fee” here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service. G.Utility Fees. 1.Converted ADUs and JADUs on a single-family lot are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required unless the ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home. a.Should the owner determine to provide a separate utility connection, the connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU or JADU, based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. The fee or charge may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 11 of 13 powered by Legistar™194 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 2.All other ADUs and JADUs require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility. The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU or JADU, based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. The fee or charge may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. The proposed text amendment would also amend Section 17.44.020(F) to read as follows: F.Junior accessory dwelling unit and accessory dwelling unit Refer to Section 17.21.040(I) Environmental Determination: Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of section 65852.2 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which regulates JADUs, as defined by section 65852.22. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements the State’s ADU law. In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 3 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15303. The Class 3 exemption categorically exempts from CEQA, among other things, the construction and location of new, small structures and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. Section 15303 specifically lists the construction of appurtenant accessory structures and garages as examples of activity that expressly falls within this exemption. Here, the ordinance is categorically exempt under the Class 3 exemption because the ordinance regulates the conversion of existing structures into, and the new construction of, ADUs and JADUs, which are, by definition, structures that are accessory to a primary dwelling on the lot. General Plan Consistency: The City’s General Plan Housing Element, adopted on September 10, 2013, covers the 2013-2021 planning period. While a standalone document, the Housing Element is considered integral with PLAN Hermosa. The proposed text amendment has been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Goals and Policies are listed below: ·Policy 2.1 The City will continue to promote the development of a variety of housing types and styles to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all segments of the community ·Policy 2.2 The City will continue to encourage the development of safe, sound, and decent housing to meet the needs of varying income groups ·Policy 4.4 The City will continue to evaluate its Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and remove governmental constraints related to development standards. These may include, but City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 12 of 13 powered by Legistar™195 Staff Report REPORT 19-0814 not be limited to, parking requirements, allowing affordable housing on commercial sites, new standards for mixed-use development, lot consolidation incentives, and senior housing requirements. The proposed text Amendment will promote the development of ADUs and JADUs, which provide an additional housing type in the City and are designed to meet the needs of a variety of residents and income groups. Furthermore, the Text Amendment will remove the Administrative Permit requirement for new ADUs and JADUs, thus removing a governmental constraint. The state law declares that these units are consistent with the densities set out in the general plan and are merely accessory to the already permitted residential uses on the site. This amendment promotes the state housing goals, responds to the state housing crisis and will assist the City in meeting its allotment for the upcoming RHNA cycle. Thus, there is nothing in this ordinance that will impede the city’s ability to meet its general plan (and housing element) goals. Summary: Based on recent changes to State law, the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (codified as Chapter 17.21) will be deemed null and void as of January 1, 2020. This will limit the City to the application of the few default standards provided in Government Code for the approval of ADUs and JADUs. The Text Amendment is intended to re-establish local control, as allowed by the “New ADU Law,” for the approval of ADUs and JADUs. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution recommending the City Council approving Text Amendment 19-2 and determine that the project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Attachments: 1.Draft Resolution Respectfully Submitted by: David Blumenthal, AICP, Senior Planner Approved: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 13 of 13 powered by Legistar™196 RESOLUTION NO. 19-XXXX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL AMEND HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 17.04.040, CHAPTER 17.21, AND SECTION 17.44.020, RELATED TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND DETERMINE THE TEXT AMENDMENT IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve, determine, find and order as follows: Section 1. The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes cities to act by ordinance to provide for the creation and regulation of accessory dwelling units ("ADUs") and junior accessory dwelling units ("JADUs"). Section 2. In 2019, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law a number of bills ("New ADU Laws") that, among other things, amended Government Code section 65852.2 and 65852.22 to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. Section 3. The New ADU Laws take effect January 1, 2020, and if the City's ADU ordinance does not comply with the New ADU Laws, the City's ordinance becomes null and void on that date as a matter of law. Section 4, The City desires to amend its local regulatory scheme for the construction of ADUs and JADUs to comply with the amended provisions of Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. Section 5. Failure to comply with Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 (as amended) as of January 1, 2020 renders the City's ordinance regulating ADUs and JADUs null and void, thereby limiting the City to the application of the few default standards provided in Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 for the approval of ADUs and JADUs. Section 6. The approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on the default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety. Section 7. On December 9, 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach conducted a duly noticed public hearing, at which time the Staff Report and testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 8. Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of section 65852.2 of the Government Code, which is 197 2 California's ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 65852.22. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements the State's ADU law. In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 3 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15303. The Class 3 exemption categorically exempts from CEQA, among other things, the construction and location of new, small structures and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. Section 15303 specifically lists the construction of appurtenant accessory structures and garages as examples of activity that expressly falls within this exemption. Here, the ordinance is categorically exempt under the Class 3 exemption because the ordinance regulates the conversion of existing structures into, and the new construction of, ADUs and JADUs, which are, by definition, structures that are accessory to a primary dwelling on the lot.) Section 9. Based on the entire record before the Planning Commission, and all written and oral evidence presented, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the proposed ordinance is consistent with the City's adopted General Plan as the purpose of the proposed ordinance is to comply with the amended provisions of Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. Section 10. The Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines, and declares that the proposed Text Amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, the Text Amendment will implement, in part, the following policies in the Housing Element of the General Plan: • Policy 2.1 The City will continue to promote the development of a variety of housing types and styles to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all segments of the community; • Policy 2.2 The City will continue to encourage the development of safe, sound, and decent housing to meet the needs of varying income groups; • Policy 4.4 The City will continue to evaluate its Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and remove governmental constraints related to development standards. These may include, but not be limited to, parking requirements, allowing affordable housing on commercial sites, new standards for mixed-use development, lot consolidation incentives, and senior housing requirements. The proposed text Amendment will promote the development of ADUs and JADUs, which provide an additional housing type in the City and are designed to meet the needs of a variety of residents and income groups. Furthermore, the Text Amendment will remove the Administrative Permit requirement for new ADUs and JADUs, thus removing a governmental constraint. The state law declares that these units are consistent with the densities set out in the general plan and are merely accessory to the already permitted residential uses on the site. This amendment promotes the state housing goals, responds to the state housing crisis and will assist the City in meeting its allotment for the upcoming RHNA cycle. Thus, there is nothing in this amendment 198 3 that will impede the city’s ability to meet its general plan (and housing element) goals. Section 11. The Planning Commission hereby recommends the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach amend Section 17.04.040 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to add the following definitions to the alphabetical list of definitions: “Accessory structure” means a structure that is accessory and incidental to a dwelling located on the same lot. “Complete independent living facilities” means permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multifamily dwelling is or will be situated. “Nonconforming zoning condition” means a lawfully established physical improvement on a property that does not conform to current zoning standards. “Passageway” means a pathway that is unobstructed clear to the sky. “Proposed dwelling” means a dwelling that is the subject of a permit application and that meets the requirements for permitting. “Public transit” means a location, including, but not limited to, a bus stop or train station, where the public may access buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public (applicable to Chapter 17.21 only).

To remove the deed 205 10 restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Community Development Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Community Development Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Community Development Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. E. The deed restriction is enforceable by the Community Development Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit. 17.21.100 Fees F. Impact Fees. 1. No impact fee is required for an ADU that is less than 750 square feet in size. 2. Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that is 750 square feet or larger in size must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the primary dwelling, divided by the floor area of the ADU, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.) “Impact fee” here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service. G. Utility Fees. 1. Converted ADUs and JADUs on a single-family lot are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required unless the ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home. a. Should the owner determine to provide a separate utility connection, the connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU or JADU, based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. The fee or charge may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. 2. All other ADUs and JADUs require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility. The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU or JADU, based on either the floor area or the number of 206 11 drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. The fee or charge may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. Section 13.
