REPORT 18-0192
Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of March 20, 2018
RECEIVE REPORT FOR SEMI-ANNUAL ON-SALE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CUP REVIEW PROCESS
Recommended Action:
Receive the semi-annual report and schedule a review of Abigaile’s/Alta House at the recommendation of the
Chief of Police.
Based on the information in the report presented to the Commission on February 20, 2018, Chief Papa is
recommending that Abigaile’s/Alta House have their Conditional Use Permit reviewed by Planning
Commission due to an incident surrounding nine citations (7 False ID / 2 Minor in possession of alcohol) that
were issued to patrons in their establishment. The Chief is requesting the Planning Commission discuss the
corrective measures the establishment has initiated to address those issues. No other establishment has
reached the “Standard Initiating Planning Commission Review.”
Background:
Since 2014 the semi-annual reviews of on-sale alcoholic beverage establishments includes the two-step
process of providing an informational report before scheduling a hearing.
Recent changes to the process and reporting for this review, recommended by the Planning Commission,
were approved by the City Council in September 2017. Therefore, while this report continues to follows the
approach established in 2014, a second report covering the first four months of this year will be presented in
June, and a third in October.
Analysis:
Police Reports:
The Hermosa Beach Police Department and the FBI consider assaults, sexual assaults and narcotics
violations as ‘serious crime.” With this in mind and with the agreement of the Planning Commission, two (2)
incidents of “Serious Crime on Premises Indicative of Lack of Adequate Security” is the established threshold
number to trigger a CUP review. That said, the municipal code provides: “the Chief of Police retains authority
to recommend CUP reviews to the Planning Commission at his/her discretion-regardless of the number of
incidents in any period of time, as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code.”

Staff Report
REPORT 18-0192
Between 7/1/2017 and 12/31/2017, there were 10 reports or calls to the Hermosa Beach Police Department
that could be considered a serious crime indicative of lack of adequate security.
·Nine of these incidents occurred at one location, Abigail’s/Alta House:
o On 12/29/17, nine misdemeanor citations/reports were issued (Possession/Use False ID of Age
or Minor in Possession of Alcohol). These citation and corrective measures taken since should
be the major point of discussion with Abigail’s/Alta House management.
The Police Department met with management of Alta House after the citations were issued to review their
security plans and practices for screening patrons. This type of communication is done on a regular basis with
any establishment where an incident at their location causes concern. The purpose of bringing the issue to the
attention of management/ownership is to ensure they are aware of incidents at their location so they are better
able to take necessary corrective measures. Establishment staff were not cited for “minor in possession of
alcohol” as the false identification presented to them was not immediately identifiable as false. Police officers
later determined the identifications were not legitimate. The Chief of Police determined the citations did not
rise to the level of a “serious crime on premises indicative of lack of security,” and instead will be counting
these citations as one incident against the establishment.
·The final incident occurred at Hennessey’s when a member of the security staff struck a patron and
took his cell phone. The owner of the establishment was contacted by Police Management to ensure
he was aware of the incident and can address the actions of the employee independent from our
criminal investigation. This incident is counted against the establishment.
There were four reported assaults during this reporting period, none of which were determined to be a CUP
violation.
·Officers responded and took a report at Alta House regarding a physical fight between customers,
where security intervened and removed the parties from the establishment.
·Baja Sharkeez had a report of an assault where a victim accused the suspects of stealing property and
the suspects struck and injured the victim before fleeing the location.
·At Fritto Misto a customer physically assaulted an employee during an argument over the bill.
·The final reported assault was at the Lighthouse but upon investigation by detectives (including review
of video), it was determined to be an accident where the intoxicated subject fell and struck his head.
In July, a sexual assault was reported when an employee was a victim of a sexual battery at Patrick Molloy’s.
The suspect was a customer who physically grabbed the employee over her clothing. The victim reported the
incident to her employer and later filed a police report documenting the assault. The incident was reviewed by
the Police Chief and determined that it was not indicative of lack of adequate security. The Police Department
contacted management regarding this incident and discussed their response should a similar incident occur.
During this review period, the Chief of Police met with the three establishments that have historically drawn
large crowds to Pier Plaza: American Junkie, Patrick Malloy’s, and Sharkeez. Chief Papa emphasized the
importance of each establishment maintaining vigilant security practices and procedures, as well as providing

REPORT 18-0192
regular training and reinforcement of Responsible Beverage Service practices by their employees.
ABC Activity:
The Hermosa Beach Police Department participates in a tri-city (Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and El
Segundo) grant with Alcohol Beverage Control. This grant provides funding, which allows officers from each
agency to work together to impact alcohol related issues in each city. While this program is primarily
enforcement related, there is an educational component where Police and ABC personnel meet with the
staff/ownership at on-site and off-site sales establishments to review expectations and provide guidance.
During this reporting time frame, the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Department did not issue any citations
independently outside of the tri-city taskforce.
Occupant Load: The threshold to trigger review is one (1). The Fire Department routinely checks on-sale
establishments and reports there were no occupant load violations recorded during the review period. We are
working with the Los Angeles County Fire Department to organize routine patrols and start a data base for
inclusion in future reports.
Occupant load inspections are conducted as routine Code Enforcement reviews of late night establishments.
Community Development has added, as of July 1, 2017, a Fire Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer. Jim
Heenan, formerly of HBFD, has forty years’ experience as Fire Chief, Arson Investigator and Fire Captain. As
part of our Code Enforcement team, he is helping to train other staff members in the fire-safety aspects of
overcrowding, exiting and other common concerns with late night alcohol serving establishments.
The presence of Code Enforcement and HBPD efforts has resulted in few warnings being issued. Warnings
typically are issued when a place of business appears to or has been counted and confirmed to be close to its
posted occupant load.
Combined statistics for Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention
Statistical Data Relating to Business Checks of Alcohol Serving Establishments July1 through December31,
2017 is contained in Attachment #1, with the last reporting period report as Attachment #2
Code Enforcement/Violation of CUP Conditions: Violations that are both a code violation and a CUP
violation are only counted once. Code Enforcement issued four citations in the reporting period. On July 22,
American Junkies was cited for removal of chairs from a dining area, a CUP violation and on July 24, a citation
for a run-off pollution violation from trash bags dumped behind the business. On October 2, Patrick Molloy’s
was cited for removing approved furniture and a dividing wall and replacing them with tables and chairs, a
CUP violation. On October 19, Sharkeez was cited for a Pier Plaza noise violation, amplified music heard 80’
away.While several businesses received warnings, policy is to request compliance prior to issuing a Citation
during a single shift.
Businesses required to submit their food to alcohol sales ratio reports per conditions in their CUPs must
continue to do so and failure to do so is counted as part of the CUP review. Waterman’s, 22 Pier Avenue, and
Día de Campo, 1238 Hermosa Avenue, are required to submit quarterly reports, which need not be audited.
Standing Room, 1320 Hermosa Avenue, must submit quarterly reports audited by a CPA. All have submitted

Process and Standards for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits
1) The CUP review process will consist of an administrative review process in which the on-sale establishments’
activities would be reviewed against an established set of criteria three times per year.
2) On-sale establishments with a CUP would only be referred to the Planning Commission for a CUP review, and
subsequently for a modification/revocation hearing if the Commission so decided upon its review, when they exceed
established standards for each criteria to trigger such a review.
3) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potential
modification/revocation hearing will be based on the frequency or number of incidents/violations within a stipulated
timeframe. This type of system avoids the inherent problems of “point systems” where the standards for assigning
values is potentially subjective.
4) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potentially for a
subsequent modification/revocation hearing are as indicated in Table 1 below.
5) The administrative review of CUPs should be conducted three times per year. While a “rolling process” with a sliding
timeframe would be more effective in making the review process truly timely (i.e ., a rolling process would reduce the
potential time between apparent CUP violations and the Planning Commission’s review), it would impose an
unreasonable demand on City staff for the ongoing monitoring of the relevant data.
6) The standards or criteria of the CUP review system will be made readily available to all on-sale establishments with
CUPs and the public via the City website and/or other appropriate media (including direct mailings) to minimize any
confusion over what standards will initiate a Planning Commission review and potential modification/revocation
hearing.
7) Information from Police and Fire Department related to patterns of patronage of on-sale establishments (as indicated
by investigations of intoxicated persons after incidents) and consistency with “Model House Policies” may be generally
considered by the Planning Commission as factors in whether the business is being operated responsibly and
engaging in the responsible service of alcohol. This information may be considered by the planning commission as
additional justification for holding a CUP review hearing after referral based on the criteria above has been determined
and as evidence in any CUP modification/revocation hearing.

regardless of number of incidents in any period of time—as stipulated in many current CUPs and the Municipal Code. (b) Non-submittal of food to
alcohol sales ratio reports in a timely manner when required by a CUP is considered a violation of the CUP condition. Reporting of the food to alcohol
sales ratio required by a CUP, ABC license, or the Municipal Code may be required and considered during any modification/revocation action.

REPORT 18-0186
Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of March 20, 2018
TEXT 18-1 - Text Amendment to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Chapter 17, to Establish Local
Standards for State Mandated Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Residential Zones
Applicant:
City of Hermosa Beach
Community Development Department
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Recommended Action:
Continue to April 17, 2018 the Public Hearing regarding a proposed Text Amendment to Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code, Chapter 17, to establish local standards for State mandated Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs) in residential zones.
Summary:
In 2017 a new state law went into effect regarding the regulation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs),
and the state made clarification amendments in January 2018. This new state law supersedes the
City’s existing “second unit” ordinance until the City adopts its own local standards. Community
Development Department (CDD) staff has been researching ordinances adopted by nearby local
jurisdictions and has been working closely with the City Attorney’s office to develop an ordinance that
addresses housing needs, the requirements of the new state law, and the unique circumstances of
our community.
Though not required, local jurisdictions are encouraged to submit draft ordinances for review
comments to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). At this time,
CDD staff is awaiting comments from HCD. Once those comments are received, staff will further
work with the City Attorney’s office to address them, and anticipates having a draft ordinance ready
for Planning Commission consideration at its April 17th meeting.
Attached is a link to HCD’s informative technical assistance memo which includes a summary of the

new state law. The Commission is encouraged to review this document prior to the April public

Oxygen Therapy stations, three ellipticals, and two
treadmills.
The SPA-11 zone aims to create a pedestrian-oriented seaside village center of small-scale
commercial establishments that attract and serve local residents and visitors, strengthen the city’s
economic base, protect small businesses that serve city residents, create a suitable environment for
commercial uses and protect the available commercial land resources from change to
noncommercial land uses and from the adverse effects of inharmonious uses, minimize the impact of
commercial development on adjacent residential districts, ensure that the effects of commercial uses
are harmonious with the character of a pedestrian-oriented seaside village and ensure the provision
of adequate off-street parking, loading and pedestrian amenities.
The Planning Commission’s purview is limited to the 673 square foot fitness area (assembly use)
which requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the SPA-11 zone and not the service and retail
uses which are permitted by right in the SPA-11 zone.
The proposed primary retail and personal service uses are permitted uses within the SPA-11 zone.
The applicant’s business summary defines the cryotherapy use as athlete recovery and wellness
services for the whole body including: cryotherapy sauna sessions, Normatec recovery boots/
compression therapy, Hoccatt Ozone Therapy (which includes spa treatments and health treatments
in one device), an oxygen bar, and a post-cryotherapy cardio room with cardio equipment.
The proposed ancillary health and fitness (assembly use) requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in

the SPA-11 zone. The City 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 spas, movie theaters, museums, music academies, religious institutions, and skating rinks,
whether available for public or private use.
CUP Criteria, Conditions and Standards:
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (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 residential unit is located north of the site, across Oak Street within the
Marineland Mobile Home facility, zoned MHP Mobile Home Park, and approximately 70 feet
from the subject building. The Marineland Mobile Home facility is located on a downward slope
from the subject site and approximately 18 feet lower than the elevation at Oak Street which
will help to mitigate potential noise impacts to existing residential uses. Conditions of approval
are included in the draft resolution to reduce potential noise and vibration impacts to existing
nearby residential uses which include: prohibiting personal training and/or group classes,
requiring sound dampening mats to be located under all equipment, requiring that the building
be equipped with air conditioning and requiring that noise emanating from the property shall
comply with the City's noise ordinance. Noise and vibration impacts are detailed further in
criteria I below. As conditioned, the proposed use is not anticipated to create adverse impacts
to nearby residential uses.
B.The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the
proposed use;
Like most businesses in the downtown, pedestrian-oriented district, this business will largely
rely on public parking and foot traffic from patrons already traversing the area (and
presumably already parked). Retail commercial uses and gymnasiums/ health and fitness
centers which are less than or equal to 3,000 square feet and with less than or equal to 20
students at one time, if classes are offered, must provide 1 off-street parking space per 250
square feet of gross floor area per HBMC Section 17.44.030. The capacity and building
square footage will not be increased. The entire building does not meet current parking
requirements of 12 spaces for retail commercial uses and limited gymnasiums/ health and
fitness centers, because there are five existing on-site parking spaces provided north of the
subject tenant space along Oak Street. The previous retail use and the proposed limited
health and fitness (assembly use) ancillary to a new retail and personal service cryotherapy
use utilize the same parking ratio of 1 off-street parking space per 250 square feet of gross
floor area. Therefore, no additional parking is required for the combination of uses. The health
and fitness center area is ancillary to the personal service cryotherapy use and shall only be
used by the clients receiving treatments and shall not be used as an independent gym facility.

REPORT 18-0191
C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds;
Hermosa Valley School is the nearest sensitive receptor at approximately 390 feet from the subject site
and nearby parks include Hermosa Beach Skate Park at approximately 550 feet from the subject site
and Clark Field at approximately 970 feet from the subject site and churches such as Christian Science
Church at approximately 940 feet from the subject site. The proposed uses are not likely to affect
nearby sensitive receptors because the health and fitness services are ancillary to the personal service
and retail uses and will not disturb sensitive uses because the 673 square foot health and fitness
center area is a small component of the operation, all uses will be indoors, and the primary retail and
personal service cryotherapy uses are permitted by right.
D. The combination of uses proposed;
Cryotherapy sessions are approximately 2 to 3 minutes long. The Normatec loungers
(compression therapy boots) sessions are approximately 30 minutes long. Oxygen bar
sessions range widely anywhere between 2 minutes to 22 minutes. The Hocatt Ozone sauna
sessions are approximately 30 minutes long. Ancillary to the retail and personal service
cryotherapy use is a 673 square foot fitness use located within the rear mezzanine level and
limited to cardio equipment.The cryotherapy business recommends using cardio equipment
after cryotherapy to encourage blood flow and heat the body after the session to fully benefit
from the cryotherapy treatment. There will be three employees for True North Cryo.
The combination of proposed uses will be pedestrian-oriented with a mixture of a front retail
component with shirts and robes displayed for sale with the True North Cryo logo, reception
counter and uses such as an oxygen bar, compression therapy boots, and one stand-alone
impact CryoSauna machine. The combination of proposed uses will serve local residents and
visitors visiting other businesses, including nearby health conscious uses who may have the
same customer base and already be parked. The new retail and personal service cryotherapy
use will preserve commercial land resources while containing an ancillary health and fitness
(assembly use) limited to 673 square feet with cardio equipment. Therefore, the combination
of proposed uses are compatible.
E. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the
compatibility of the use with surrounding uses;
The use is conditioned to be limited to cardio equipment to reduce noise and vibration impacts
to surrounding uses as well as maintaining all fitness activities to within the 673 square foot
designated mezzanine area, at the rear of the tenant space. The business owner also
proposes sound dampening mats, measuring 3/8 inches thick, to be located under all
equipment in the mezzanine level. The use is conditioned to prohibit personal training and/or
group classes within the health and fitness center area to ensure the assembly use (fitness) is
ancillary and the facility will not function as an independent gym. Three employees are
anticipated at the largest shift with two shifts per day. A maximum of eight people are
anticipated on-site at peak time. Hours of operation are proposed between 7:00 A.M. and
11:00 P.M. daily. Noise and vibration impacts are detailed further in criteria I below. Conditions
of approval are included to ensure these precautions are maintained throughout the life of the
operation, and as conditioned, the proposed establishment will be compatible with existing
surrounding uses.

REPORT 18-0191
F. The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets serving
the area;
No additional trips are anticipated to be generated from the proposed retail and personal
service cryotherapy use with limited and ancillary health and fitness use because the capacity
and building square footage will not be increased and the previous retail use and the proposed
limited health and fitness (assembly use) ancillary to a new retail and personal service
cryotherapy use utilize the same parking ratio of 1 off-street parking space per 250 square feet
of gross floor area. Therefore, no additional trips are anticipated for the combination of uses.
The health and fitness center area is ancillary to the personal service cryotherapy use and
shall only be used by the clients receiving treatments and shall not be used as an independent
gym facility.
G. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments
in the area;
Façade modifications will include new exterior paint, removal of an existing wrought iron railing
along the east set of windows and doors, removal of the awning and light fixtures, and new
signage. Proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application, the removal of the
gooseneck lights will require an electrical permit and removal of the awning will necessitate an
encroachment permit for staging of equipment within the public right-of-way, which must be
reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department prior to work commencing. The
proposed façade modifications will be compatible with the existing eclectic nature of the
architectural styles in the vicinity.
H. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed
establishment;
The Downtown District is a resident and visitor serving, pedestrian-oriented shopping district,
and Pier Avenue contains a mix of commercial businesses. True North Cryo will be the first
cryotherapy business in the city. There are two cryotherapy businesses in Redondo Beach, US
Cryotherapy and CryoRedondo. CryoWave is located in Manhattan Beach, and Beach Cities
Cryo is located in Torrance. True North Cryo will help supplement other businesses that
currently operate in Hermosa Beach, including but not limited to, Bikram Yoga, Bionic Body,
The Yard Fitness Center, CrossFit Southbay, 24 Hour Fitness and Anytime Fitness. True North
Cryo will be a complementary use to the neighboring use, The Solution, which offers post
recovery I.V. (intravenous) solutions, vitamins and sports drinks.
I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use;
The business owner proposes cardio equipment to reduce noise and vibration impacts to
surrounding uses. The cardio machines generate little noise and vibration impacts as the
equipment is stationary, and for both ellipticals and stationary bikes, the user’s feet are always
in contact with the machine, so there's little to no thumping. In addition, the machine’s low-
impact motion makes for relatively quiet operations. The tenant space contains a heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning system. The five windows on the mezzanine level are single
pane slider windows, while the building frontage contains three dual pane fixed storefront
windows and five glass doors which swing into the tenant space, and the rear of the tenant
space contains one single pane sliding window. Conditions of approval are included in the
draft resolution to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses, such as

maintaining a neat and clean premises, complying with the City's noise ordinance, as well as
maintaining all fitness activities to within the 673 square foot designated mezzanine area at
the rear of the tenant space, and that the building shall be equipped with air conditioning to
maximize sound proofing. The proposed combination of uses, as conditioned, are not
anticipated to increase adverse impacts.
J. Impact of the proposed use to the city’s infrastructure, and/or services;
The existing building is already 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;
The proposed retail and personal service cryotherapy use with limited and ancillary health and
fitness use is a similar type use to other outlets in the area such as the neighboring use, The
Solution, which offers post recovery I.V. solutions, vitamins and sports drinks. True North Cryo
will be the first cryotherapy business in the city and will be complementary to existing similar
uses.
L. Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure
compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole.
No other issues are identified.
Environmental Determination:
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as
defined in Section 15301(a) Existing Facilities in that the proposal pertains to an existing facility and
involves only minor alterations of the interior/exterior.
General Plan Consistency:
The proposed establishment is located within the Community Commercial (CC) General Plan land
use area, the purpose of which is to provide opportunities and locations for uses designed to serve
the shopping, dining, and employment desires of the entire community. The CC designation is a
major generator of local economic activity with a mix of locally-owned businesses and regional or
national retailers present within this designation. This designation provides space for locally oriented
commercial uses including retail stores, restaurants, professional and medical offices, and personal
services. Uses on the ground floor are to be reserved for retail, restaurant, and other sales-tax
revenue generating uses. The ground floor level will contain a retail component with shirts and robes
displayed for sale with the True North Cryo logo.
The proposed establishment is also located within the Downtown District Character Area where the
types of uses are to provide services and activities associated with the local beach culture to
residents as well as visitors to the city. The mix of community and recreational uses are to serve a
functional role in meeting the daily needs and activities of residents and visitors, and accommodate
coastal-related recreation and commercial uses which serve the year-round needs of residents and
visitors and are attractive and compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods and commercial
districts.

P.C. RESOLUTION 18-XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A LIMITED HEALTH AND
FITNESS (ASSEMBLY USE) ANCILLARY TO A NEW RETAIL
AND PERSONAL SERVICE CRYOTHERAPY USE LOCATED AT
507 PIER AVENUE (PROPOSED TRUE NORTH CRYO), ALSO
DESCRIBED AS LOT 28, HISS ADDITION TO HERMOSA
BEACH, HERMOSA BEACH, CA; AND DETERMINING 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 Lily Dionne with “True North Cryo”, seeking
approval of a limited health and fitness (assembly use) ancillary to a new retail and personal
service cryotherapy use located at 507 Pier Avenue (proposed True North Cryo).
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on
March 20, 2018, to consider the application for the Conditional Use Permit at which testimony
and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission.
SECTION 3. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning
Commission makes the following factual findings:
1. The site is zoned Specific Plan Area 11 (SPA-11) in which health and fitness (assembly
use) are conditionally permitted uses.
2. The subject site was previously occupied by Lavish gift + home, a furniture retail use.
The subject site is part of a multi-tenant building with 40 feet of frontage along Pier
Avenue which includes The Solution, a retail shop, which is located east and adjacent to
the subject site.
3. The site is located in the Downtown District and along Pier Avenue which is a resident
and visitor serving, pedestrian-oriented shopping district, and Pier Avenue contains a mix
of commercial businesses. True North Cryo will be the first cryotherapy business in the
city.
4. The businesses will largely rely on public parking and foot traffic from patrons already
traversing the area (and presumably already parked).
5. The capacity and building square footage will not be increased.
6. The entire building does not meet current parking requirements of 12 spaces for retail
commercial uses and limited gymnasiums/ health and fitness centers, because there are
five existing on-site parking spaces provided north of the subject tenant space along Oak
Street. The previous retail use and the proposed limited health and fitness (assembly use)
ancillary to a new retail and personal service cryotherapy use utilize the same parking
49
2
ratio of 1 off-street parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. Therefore, no
additional parking is required for the combination of uses.
7. The health and fitness center area is ancillary to the personal service cryotherapy use and
shall only be used by the clients receiving treatments and shall not be used as an
independent gym facility.
SECTION 4. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301(a) of the
California Environmental Quality Act Existing Facilities, in that the proposal pertains to an
existing facility and involves only minor alterations of the interior/exterior and a change of use.
The primary personal service and retail uses are permitted in this zone and the ancillary health
and fitness (assembly use) requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to ensure that the use will
be compatible with surrounding uses.
SECTION 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings the Planning Commission makes
the following findings for the Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code Section 17.40.020, finding that the use as conditioned will be compatible with the
surroundings and all impacts can be reduced to an insignificant level:
General Criteria for All Uses
17.40.020 General criteria for all uses
A. Distance from existing residential uses;
The nearest residential unit is located north of the site, across Oak Street within the
Marineland Mobile Home facility, zoned MHP Mobile Home Park, and approximately 70
feet from the subject building. The Marineland Mobile Home facility is located on a
downward slope from the subject site and approximately 18 feet lower than the elevation
at Oak Street which will help to mitigate potential noise impacts to existing residential
uses. Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to reduce potential noise
and vibration impacts to existing nearby residential uses which include: prohibiting
personal training and/or group classes, requiring sound dampening mats to be located
under all equipment, requiring that the building be equipped with air conditioning and
requiring that noise emanating from the property shall comply with the City's noise
ordinance. Noise and vibration impacts are detailed further in criteria I below. As
conditioned, the proposed use is not anticipated to create adverse impacts to nearby
residential uses.
B. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking facilities, and its distance from the
proposed use;
Like most businesses in the downtown, pedestrian-oriented district, this business will
largely rely on public parking and foot traffic from patrons already traversing the area
(and presumably already parked). Retail commercial uses and gymnasiums/ health and
fitness centers which are less than or equal to 3,000 square feet and with less than or
equal to 20 students at one time, if classes are offered, must provide 1 off-street parking
space per 250 square feet of gross floor area per HBMC Section 17.44.030. The capacity
and building square footage will not be increased. The entire building does not meet
current parking requirements of 12 spaces for retail commercial uses and limited
gymnasiums/ health and fitness centers, because there are five existing on-site parking
50
3
spaces provided north of the subject tenant space along Oak Street. The previous retail
use and the proposed limited health and fitness (assembly use) ancillary to a new retail and
personal service cryotherapy use utilize the same parking ratio of 1 off-street parking
space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. Therefore, no additional parking is required
for the combination of uses. The health and fitness center area is ancillary to the person al
service cryotherapy use and shall only be used by the clients receiving treatments and
shall not be used as an independent gym facility.
C. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds;
Hermosa Valley School is the nearest sensitive receptor at approximately 390 feet from
the subject site and nearby parks include Hermosa Beach Skate Park at approximately
550 feet from the subject site and Clark Field at approximately 970 feet from the subject
site and churches such as Christian Science Church at approximately 940 feet from the
subject site. The proposed uses are not likely to affect nearby sensitive receptors because
the health and fitness services are ancillary to the personal service and retail uses and will
not disturb sensitive uses because the 673 square foot health and fitness center area is a
small component of the operation, all uses will be indoors, and the primary retail and
personal service cryotherapy uses are permitted by right.
D. The combination of uses proposed;
Cryotherapy sessions are approximately 2 to 3 minutes long. The Normatec loungers
(compression therapy boots) sessions are approximately 30 minutes long. Oxygen bar
sessions range widely anywhere between 2 minutes to 22 minutes. The Hocatt Ozone
sauna sessions are approximately 30 minutes long. Ancillary to the retail and personal
service cryotherapy use is a 673 square foot fitness use located within the rear mezzanine
level and limited to cardio equipment. The cryotherapy business recommends usi ng
cardio equipment after cryotherapy to encourage blood flow and heat the body after the
session to fully benefit from the cryotherapy treatment. There will be three employees for
True North Cryo.

The combination of proposed uses will be pedestrian-oriented with a mixture of a front
retail component with shirts and robes displayed for sale with the True North Cryo logo,
reception counter and uses such as an oxygen bar, compression therapy boots, and one
stand-alone impact CryoSauna machine. The combination of proposed uses will serve
local residents and visitors visiting other businesses, including nearby health conscious
uses who may have the same customer base and already be parked. The new retail and
personal service cryotherapy use will preserve commercial land resources while
containing an ancillary health and fitness (assembly use) limited to 673 square feet with
cardio equipment. Therefore, the combination of proposed uses are compatible.
E. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the
compatibility of the use with surrounding uses;
The use is conditioned to be limited to cardio equipment to reduce noise and vibration
impacts to surrounding uses as well as maintaining all fitness activities to within the 673
square foot designated mezzanine area, at the rear of the tenant space. The business
owner also proposes sound dampening mats, measuring 3/8 inches thick, to be located
under all equipment in the mezzanine level. The use is conditioned to prohibit personal
training and/or group classes within the health and fitness center area to ensure the
assembly use (fitness) is ancillary and the facility will not function as an independent
gym. Three employees are anticipated at the largest shift with two shifts per day. A
maximum of eight people are anticipated on-site at peak time. Hours of operation are
proposed between 7:00 A.M. and 11:00 P.M. daily. Noise and vibration impacts are
detailed further in criteria I below. Conditions of approval are included to ensure these
precautions are maintained throughout the life of the operation, and as conditioned, the
proposed establishment will be compatible with existing surrounding uses.
F. The relationship of the proposed business-generated traffic volume and the size of streets
serving the area;
No additional trips are anticipated to be generated from the proposed retail and personal
service cryotherapy use with limited and ancillary health and fitness use because the
capacity and building square footage will not be increased and the previous retail use and
the proposed limited health and fitness (assembly use) ancillary to a new retail and personal
service cryotherapy use utilize the same parking ratio of 1 off-street parking space per 250
square feet of gross floor area. Therefore, no additional trips are anticipated for the
combination of uses. The health and fitness center area is ancillary to the personal service
cryotherapy use and shall only be used by the clients receiving treatments and shall not
be used as an independent gym facility.
G. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing
establishments in the area;
Façade modifications will include new exterior paint, removal of an existing wrought
iron railing along the east set of windows and doors, removal of the awning and light
fixtures, and new signage. Proposed signage will require a separate sign permit
application, the removal of the gooseneck lights will require an electrical permit and
removal of the awning will necessitate an encroachment permit for staging of equipment
within the public right-of-way, which must be reviewed and approved by the Public
52
5
Works Department prior to work commencing. The proposed façade modifications will
be compatible with the existing eclectic nature of the architectural styles in the vicinity.
H. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed
establishment;
The Downtown District is a resident and visitor serving, pedestrian-oriented shopping
district, and Pier Avenue contains a mix of commercial businesses. True North Cryo will
be the first cryotherapy business in the city. There are two cryotherapy businesses in
Redondo Beach, US Cryotherapy and CryoRedondo. CryoWave is located in Manhattan
Beach, and Beach Cities Cryo is located in Torrance. True North Cryo will help
supplement other businesses that currently operate in Hermosa Beach, including but not
limited to, Bikram Yoga, Bionic Body, The Yard Fitness Center, CrossFit Southbay, 24
Hour Fitness and Anytime Fitness. True North Cryo will be a complementary use to the
neighboring use, The Solution, which offers post recovery I.V. (intravenous) solutions,
vitamins and sports drinks.
I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use;
The business owner proposes cardio equipment to reduce noise and vibration impacts to
surrounding uses. The cardio machines generate little noise and vibration impacts as the

Great meeting you, Lily. I’m so happy cryo is coming to Hermosa so I no longer have to drive to MB.
Please pass this letter on to Hermosa Beach City Council.
Dear Hermosa Beach Council,
I live in Redondo, but on the border with Hermosa (just behind Big Lots). So, I walk
to everything in Hermosa. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been to downtown Redondo.
I’ve become addicted to cryo at Cryo Wave in MB, but now I will walk to what
Ms. Dionne has promised will be a top notch facility on Pier Ave.
Just want to say I know this will be a tremendous addition to the HB downtown and

will benefit all health conscious locals. Please help it open ASAP!
Cryo makes my aches and pains go away, and it’s an instant energy boost when
I’m dragging.

RE: True North Cryo
I recently communicated with Jordan Silverman of True North Cryo, and am
excited about a future relationship with them. Cryotherapy is an incredible technology
that has the ability to help heal aching and damaged muscles, greatly enhancing
recuperation; something all athletes, but specifically football players, can greatly benefit
from. My coaches and I are also looking forward to using cryo as well; helping us stay
healthy and mobile enough to keep up with these youngsters. I believe True North Cryo
will be a great asset to our community. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) have been submitted and reviewed for compliance
with applicable sections of the zoning ordinance.
Both units will contain a two-car garage, laundry room, bedroom and bathroom on the first floor level,
three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the second level, and a living room, kitchen, dining room,
and a powder room on the third level. Both units will provide a roof deck.
Both units will exceed the minimum open space requirement of 300 square feet per unit with 100
square feet of open space adjacent to the main living area, which meets the R-2B standards. Unit 1
will provide 320 square feet of open space on 1st level and 210 square of deck area adjacent to the
primary living area on the third level. Unit 2 will provide 210 square feet of deck area adjacent to the
primary living area on the third level. Both units will have a roof deck area with a maximum of 100
square feet counted towards the open space requirement.
Access and Parking: Each unit will provide a two-car garage, and all parking will be accessed from
15th Street. Parking for both units will be provided from a relocated 9-foot wide driveway on 15th
Street.
In order to relocate the parking access towards the southwest corner of the lot, the utility pole, cable
support (down-guy) and the utility boxes will need to be relocated approximately 30 feet to the east,
but still within the property’s frontage. The applicant is still working with utility companies regarding
precise placement of down-guy, utility pole, and the existing utilities boxes, and as such, a condition
of approval is included that the necessary approvals from the City and the utility companies be
obtained prior to issuance of building permits
Landscape and Green Measures: All plants must be water conserving as required in Hermosa
Beach Water Conservation and Drought Management Ordinances. The landscape plan includes a
mixture of drought tolerant trees to include Trompenburg Japanese Maple, Western Redbud,
Japanese Camellia, Lemon Bottlebrush, New Zealand Christmas Tree, and Thundercloud Purple

REPORT 18-0188
Leaf Plum. All proposed tree sizes ranges from 24 inch box to 48 inch box. The landscape plan also
includes a variety of drought tolerant shrubs, perennial, ferns, vines, succulents in pots to
complement the trees. In addition, turf is proposed at frontage of the Unit 1, not to exceed 20% of
the total landscaped area in turf in compliance with HBMC Section 8.60.060(4). The proposed
landscape plan shows more than 50% required permeable exterior surface area on-site. Therefore,
the project is not conditioned to include catch basins with sump pumps to retain water on-site
pursuant to HBMC Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control
Regulations. Additionally an automatic irrigation system is proposed for the landscape areas.
The project is required to meet Title 24 standards: 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 and surrounding properties are zoned R-2B
Limited Multiple Family Residential, R-3 Multiple Family Residential, and SPA 8 Specific Plan Area 8
to the west, and R-1 One Family Residential east of the block. Similar residential development is
found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, multi-family residences.
The surrounding properties on 15th Street have a consistent prevailing front yard setback ranging
from 16 feet to 20 feet. The Planning Commission established a policy in 1991 to require a prevailing
front yard setback ranging 16 feet to 19 feet to be consistent and compatible with the existing
neighborhood. A two-unit condominium located 842 15th Street was approved with a 20-foot front
yard setback in January 1998. A two-unit condominium located at 840 15th Street was approved with
a 17-foot front yard setback. A two-unit condominium approved in 2000 located at 948-952 15th
Street initially proposed a front yard setback of 10 feet, but was approved with a minimum 17-foot
front yard setback as part of the conditions of approval. Lastly, a two-unit condominium project
located at 940 15th Street was approved with 16-foot front yard setback on May 17, 2016.
The front yard setbacks on the north side of 15th Street range from approximately 15 feet to 69 feet.
The front yard setbacks on the south side of 15th Street range from approximately 14 feet to 70 feet.
The average front yard setbacks on 15th Street range from 16 to 20 feet.
Therefore, the proposed front yard setback of 16 feet meets the minimum of 5-foot front yard setback
as required per HBMC Section 17.22.060 D and , and meets the intent of HBMC Section 17.22.030
to be consistent with the immediate neighborhood with regard to the prevailing front yard setback.
Subdivision Map: The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map. The 5,668 square
foot lot can accommodate two units consistent with the minimum requirement of 1,750 square feet of
lot area per dwelling unit. The lot size is consistent with prevailing lot sizes, street frontages within
the same zone, and the General Plan designation for lots in the vicinity, and thus complies with
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 8/24/2022Page 4 of 7
powered by Legistar™101
Staff Report
REPORT 18-0188
Hermosa Beach ordinances and subdivision of lots.
The project is conditioned upon payment of Park and Recreation Area Dedication fees per unit as
there is inadequate area on-site for land dedication per City required Parks and Recreation Area
fees.
Utilities provided to the lot serve the existing development, and capacity exists to provide public
water, sewers, storm drains and utilities to serve the increased density. The submitted plans were
preliminarily reviewed by the Fire Department, Public Works Department and Building 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.
General Plan Consistency:
Land Use: PLAN Hermosa (the City’s combined General Plan and Local Coastal Program)
designates the area of the subject property as Medium Density Residential. The purpose of this land
use designation is to provide for enhancement and reinvestment in mixed scale residential
neighborhoods, and it allows small scale residential uses, including single-family, duplex,
condominiums and townhouses, as well as educational, cultural and public assembly uses that are
compatible and neighborhood serving. The allowed density range is 13.1 - 25 dwelling units per acre.
The proposed project is consistent in this regard in that it includes a two-unit residential condominium
development at a density of 15.3 dwelling units per acre.
Character Area: The property lies within the Hermosa Hills Neighborhood Character Area, which
transitions from high- and medium-density uses adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway and lower density
single-family uses closer to Prospect Avenue. The future vision for this character area is to improve
key pedestrian thoroughfares to enhance connectivity and access while preserving the single-family
development pattern of this area. The proposed 2-unit development will be consistent in that it will
serve as a transition between higher density uses and lower density single-family residential uses.
Desired Form and Character: The desired building design and orientation for the Hermosa Hills
Neighborhood Character Area includes favoring garages that do not dominate front facades where
visible from the street, and notes that any new construction or renovation should strive to minimize
their prominence.
Regarding the desired public realm, greater east-west connections for bicyclists and pedestrians are
to be provided with multiple high priority walking and biking streets needed to connect this
neighborhood with other areas.
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 8/24/2022Page 5 of 7

Staff Report
REPORT 18-0188
The proposed design is consistent with the desired building form and character in that it features an
articulated front building façade, and provides setbacks consistent with and exceed the 5-foot
minimum required front yard setback in the R-2B zone. The subject property contains an existing
duplex with an approximate 15-foot curb cut located at the center of the subject property’s frontage
on 15th Street. Currently, there is one on-street parking space located partially in front of the subject
property and 937-939 15th Street. The proposal is to relocate the existing curb cut to the southwest
corner of the lot with a curb cut width of 9-foot. This relocation of the existing curb cut will provide
parking access to both of the units with a shared driveway. As a result, there will be one on-street
parking space gained on the north side of 15th Street. In addition, the proposal includes new
sidewalk on 15th Street.
The proposed design features implement Land Use Policies 4.10 (pedestrian access), 6.5 (provision
of sidewalks) and 6.7 (pedestrian-oriented design), as well as Mobility Policies 3.1 (enhance public
right-of-ways), 3.10 (require ADA standards), and 7.5 (appropriate sidewalk widths). In this way, the
proposed project is consistent with the intent of the desired public realm design Hermosa Hills
Neighborhood Character Area and associated applicable PLAN Hermosa goals and policies.
Summary:
The project as conditioned is consistent with the zoning code, subdivision laws and other relevant
provisions of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and PLAN Hermosa, as the site is physically
suitable for the type and density of the proposed development. The specific project findings for a
Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the
Government Code Section 66474 and Sections 16.08.060, 17.22, 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of the
Municipal Code are provided in the attached resolution.
Therefore, staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the
Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 78251 for
a two-unit detached condominium project at 945 15th Street, subject to conditions, and determine the
project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

P.C. Resolution 18-XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND VESTING TENATIVE
PARCEL MAP NO. 78251 FOR A TWO-UNIT DETACHED
CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 945 15th STREET, ALSO DESCRIBED AS
LOT 14 OF HEFFNER FIORINI ALLEN 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 December 28, 2017 by the property
owner/applicant Beach City Capital Management, LLC, C/O Jason Muller, for
development of property located at 945 15th Street, seeking approval of Conditional Use
Permit 18-3, Precise Development Plan 18-7, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #78251
for a two-unit detached residential condominium project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the subject application on March 20, 2018, at which time testimony and
evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission.
Section 3. 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 project is 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.
Section 4. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing on March 20,
2018, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. The applicant has filed applications for a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use
Permit and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map to develop a two-unit detached residential
condominium project on a lot with an existing duplex.
2. The subject property contains approximately 5,668 square feet, is designated Medium
Density Residential on the General Plan Map, and R-2B Limited Multiple Family
Residential on the Zoning Map.
Section 5. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for a Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the California Government Code Section 66474 and
Sections 16.08.060 and 16.16.060 of the Municipal Code:
105
2
3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Medium Density Residential
designation and R-2B zone because the project is an allowed use and has a density
of less than 25 dwelling units per acre, and as conditioned complies with all applicable
development standards.
4. The site is physically suitable for a two-unit detached residential condominium project
with Unit 1 and Unit 2 containing three levels with one guest parking space to be
shared by both units.
5. 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 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 Section
8.44.095 subject to maintenance agreements.
6. The proposed development will provide vehicular access from 15th 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.
7. Design of the proposed subdivision as conditioned is compatible and consistent with
applicable elements of the City’s General Plan and the immediate environment, being
consistent with purposes of the designation, density and development standards, and
parking, access and services are provided.
8. The project as conditioned will conform to all zoning and condominium standards and
will be compatible with neighboring properties, which are developed with similar multi-
story single-and multi-family residences.
9. 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).
10. 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.
11. The granting of the subdivision will result in division of a conforming sized and
configured lot into airspace for condominium units of size and design conforming to
the R-2B zone and condominium ordinance.

Section 6. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for Conditional Use
Permit and Precise Development Plan pursuant to Section 17.58.030 of the Municipal
Code.
12. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Medium Density Residential
designation and R-2B zone because the project is an allowed use and has a density
of less than 25 units per acre, and as conditioned complies with all applicable
development standards.
13. The site is zoned R-2B and is physically suitable for a two-unit detached residential
condominium project with Unit 1 and Unit 2 containing three levels. Each unit will
provide a two-car garage with a shared guest parking space.
14. Both Units 1 and 2 comply with Section 17.14.080 of R-2B Limited Multiple Family
Residential Open Space standards and provide a minimum of 300 square feet of open
space per unit.
15. The subdivision and improvements provide for adequate drainage, sanitation and
potable water, underground utilities, supply all required off -street parking, sidewalks,
and safe access from a public street, will not cause substantial traffic impacts due to
minimal increase in density, and will comply with all construction requirements.
16. Design of the proposed subdivision as conditioned is compatible and consistent with
the immediate environment, including maintenance of water quality and reduction of
marine pollution via onsite retention of storm water to compensate for loss of

Staff Report
REPORT 18-0189
Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of March 20, 2018
S-21 #30- Determine that the property is a convex sloping lot and may use alternate spot elevations
rather than property corner elevations along the north and south property lines for the purposes of
determining building height at 821 Loma drive
Applicant: Trotter Building Designs, Inc.
1011 Manhattan Beach Boulevard #A
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission by Minute Order approve the request determining the
property to be a convex sloping lot and therefore may use alternative spot elevations with the
exclusion of areas where fill soils are present towards the middle of the property.
Background:
The applicant requests use of alternate points along the side property lines rather than a straight line
interpolation between the property corner points. The applicant believes the survey and topographic
profiles show a convex slope condition at the middle portion of the property and requests use of
alternative spot elevations at the top of areas where fill soils are present toward the middle of the
property.
The subject interior lot is located on the west side of Loma Drive and north of 8th Street within the R-3
Multiple-Family residential zone, which has a maximum height limit of 30 feet. The subject lot is
approximately 2,790 square feet in size and is large enough to accommodate for two units, which is a
similar lot size and density for the immediate neighborhood. As with nearby properties on the west
side of the block, the subject property fronts Loma Drive and steeply slopes downward towards the
west (Sunset Drive). No major alterations have been made to the building envelope or site since the
residence was constructed in 1969 with the exception of a second story deck which was added to the
rear of the residence in 2001. The soils report reveals that approximately one and one-half feet of fill
soil was encountered at the west edge of the second story deck with support columns which
indicates that displacement of soil was minimal with this construction. In 2016 the Planning
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/21/2024Page 1 of 3

Staff Report
REPORT 18-0189
Commission confirmed convexity at 925 Loma Drive with the exclusion of areas where fill soils were
present toward the middle of the property. In 2015 the Commission also confirmed convexity and at
650 Loma Drive, 648 Loma Drive, and 626 Loma Drive with the exclusion of areas where fill soils
were present toward the front and middle of the properties (Map attached).
Analysis:
Pursuant to the definitions of ‘building height’ and ‘grade’ and the method for calculating building
height as set forth in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Sections 17.04.040 and 17.46.015,
the grade used for height measurements is based on surveyed elevation points at the property
corners. However, the method for determining building height does allow consideration of other
points along the property line for lots with “convex” contours (where the grade level arches upward
along the property line). In these situations, the grade of a lot may be based on a detailed
topographical survey along the property line with spot elevations called out at a minimum of two foot
intervals in addition to property corner points. A finding that a convex slope exists allows use of
alternate points if the evidence supports that grades at the top of the convex slope represent natural
or unaltered grades. In cases where the data for height measurement is open to dispute, the final
determination of the grade is referred to the Planning Commission.
The applicant believes a natural convex slope condition exists along the north and south property
lines. The northerly property profile submitted by the applicant shows a slope condition that ascends
from the west/rear property line to the center of the lot toward the property’s peak. The property then
plateaus at the center of the lot extending to Loma Drive.
The applicant has submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Investigation prepared by NorCal
Engineering, dated November 13, 2017, for the subject property. The soils report details the types of
soil present at six boring sites, between 2.5 and 15.5 feet in depth, on the property as shown on
Page 21 of the report. The boring locations from the soils investigations include one bore site at the
front (east) portion of the lot, and four bore sites toward the middle of the property and one bore site
at the rear (northwest) portion of the lot. The report reveals that between a depth of 8 inches to 2.5
feet of fill soils were encountered, and below the fill soils undisturbed native soil was present. Details
of the subsurface conditions are provided in Appendix A of the report.

The boring sites have similar soil classifications for both fill and natural soils consisting of slightly silty
sand with occasional gravel. The boring sites varied when looking at the moisture content of the fill
and natural soils, as soils closer to the surface tend to be drier and loosely packed while soils further
from the surface tend to contain more moisture and are more densely packed. Currently, a
continuous downhill slope runs along the rear half of neighboring properties to the north and south
and spans multiple property boundaries.
Staff notes that it is up to the applicant to substantiate that a convex slope condition exists and
provide evidence that grades at the top of the convex slope represents natural or unaltered grades.
Staff believes that properties to the north and south of the subject property with similar downhill
sloping rear yards to the west provide evidence that the downhill slope is a natural occurrence and a
convex condition exists on the subject property.
Although the applicant requests use of alternative elevations at the top of areas where fill soils are
present toward the middle of the property, staff believes natural grade is at the bottom of the fill soil
levels and recommends the exclusion of fill soils from measurement for the most accurate way to
estimate the natural grades in the middle of the lot.
