PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WILL BE THE ACTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. *************************************************************************************************************** 7.REPORT 18-0479 Information Only: Public Hearing Notices and Projects Zoning Map Section II Page 4 City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/21/2024 4 August 21, 2018Planning Commission Regular Meeting Agenda - Final PUBLIC HEARING 8.REPORT 18-0486 SIGN VARIANCE #18-1 Recommendation:Continue to September 18, 2018 the public hearing to consider the request for Sign Variance 18-1 to allow: 1) more than one pole sign per site; 2) two pole signs to exceed the maximum allowed 20 foot height; 3) more than one sign can per pole sign on a site; and a request for a sign code interpretation to determine that the sign proposed for the north building elevation is a marquee sign and not a wall sign. Background The applicant submitted revised plans for this project quite late, and although staff was able to meet the deadline to publish the public hearing notice in the newspaper, we were not able to meet the deadline for the public hearing notices that are required to be mailed to owners and occupants in the vicinity. Because both deadlines must be met in order to conduct the public hearing, but one of the deadlines was missed due to the applicant's late resubmittal of plans, staff must recommend that the public hearing be continued to the Commission's September 18, 2018 meeting. Respectfully Submitted by: Kim Chafin, Planning Manager Approved: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director 9.REPORT 18-0487 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN INTEGRATION INTO GENERAL PLAN Recommendation:Continue indefinitely the public hearing to amend the Public Safety Element of the Hermosa Beach General Plan to incorporate the FEMA adopted 2017 City of Hermosa Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Background This public hearing was advertised prematurely. City staff is coordinating with the California Office of Emergency Services and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research to clarify what compliance action is needed. When and if Planning Commission action is needed, the public hearing will be re-noticed. Therefore, staff recommends that the Commission continue the public hearing indefinitely. Respectfully Submitted by: Kim Chafin, Planning Manager Approved: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director 10.REPORT 18-0492 CUP 18-8: A request for a Conditional Use Permit for to allow a Health and fitness facility (assembly use) at 1332 Hermosa Avenue Suite 8 and 9 (Ebb & Flow Concierge Fitness) and determination that the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. Recommendation:Adopt the attached resolution approving Conditional Use Permit 18-8 to allow a health and fitness facility (assembly use) at 1332 Hermosa Avenue suite 8 and 9 (EBB & Flow Concierge Fitness), and determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section III HEARING Page 5 City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/21/2024 5 August 21, 2018Planning Commission Regular Meeting Agenda - Final 11.REPORT 18-0493 Short-Term Entertainment Permit - Low impact entertainment option for local businesses through an easy cost effective permitting process Recommendation:To continue to discuss possible amendments to the Zoning Code that would allow low impact or limited live entertainment options for local businesses without having to go through the Conditional Use Permit process as is currently required. If supportive of the proposal direct staff to set a specific public hearing date for consideration of the appropriate Zoning Code text amendments. 12.REPORT 18-0494 Clarifications to Process and Standards for Review of On -Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits Recommendation:To approve by minute order the attached clarifications into the Conditional Use Permit Review Process, and recommend they be affirmed by City Council. Background The Commission directed staff to provide clarification for the newly established tri-annual CUP review process with respect to the evaluation and reporting period used for each review. This clarification is expressed in the amended item number 5 in the attached document, which makes clear the review is for the 6 prior months, consistent with the time period for the criteria thresholds. Also, as previously discussed, the language is clarified to confirm that the Police Chief retains discretion to bring an establishment before the Planning Commission for review anytime, where for example, there are continuing police problems or nuisances. This issue has also been a concern of the downtown enhancement subcommittee, and relates to a perception that the Chief's discretion was somewhat limited to only incidents related to serious crimes, and not crimes and other incidents (i.e. ABC violations) that may be indicators of establishment's poor management practices that should warrant a review. This CUP process is provided to maintain an objective and consistent approach to reviewing the CUPs for alcohol sales, and was not intended to otherwise limit the Chief's ability to recommend Planning Commission review of a CUP in her ordinary course of duties. Therefore, the language is clarified in the policy that the notwithstanding the CUP review, the City may recommend a CUP review at any time to determine if CUP revocation or modification is warranted.

Background The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on July 17,2018,to consider the Precise Development Plan 16-7 and Parking Plan 16-2 application at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Based on the testimony and evidence received,the Planning Commission did not have evidence that a sufficient number of parking spaces would be provided on-site for customers,clients,visitors and employees for the combination of uses proposed to occupy the site.The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC)requires 12 spaces for this project,and the project proposes 4 on-site spaces (including 1 tandem space)plus payment of fees in lieu for 8 spaces.Further,the evidence presented did not provide the Planning Commission with assurance that the configuration of the proposed on- site parking spaces would be adequate to accommodate customers,clients,visitors and employees City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™29 Staff Report REPORT 18-0484 of the various combinations of uses proposed to occupy the site.

RESOLUTION NO. 18-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DENYING PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN 16-7 TO ALLOW A NEW THREE-STORY, DETACHED 2,744 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL BUILDING WITH GROUND FLOOR RETAIL AND SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR OFFICE SPACE, TO BE CONSTRUCTED BEHIND THE EXISTING 1,841 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WHICH WILL BE CONVERTED TO A SINGLE-UNIT MOTEL, AND DENYING PARKING PLAN 16-2 TO ALLOW THE 12-SPACE PARKING REQUIREMENT TO BE MET WITH 4 ON-SITE SPACES (INCLUDING 1 TANDEM SPACE) PLUS FEES IN LIEU FOR 8 SPACES, ON A 4,023 SQUARE FOOT LOT IN THE C-2 (RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT AT 70 10TH STREET. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: SECTION 1. An application was filed by B&J Capital Investments on March 21, 2016, seeking approval of a Precise Development Plan 16-7 and Parking Plan 16-2 to allow a new three- story, detached 2,744 square foot commercial building with ground floor retail and second and third floor office space, to be constructed behind the existing 1,841 square foot single-family residence which will be converted to a single-unit motel, and a Parking Plan to allow the 12-space parking requirement to be met with 4 on-site spaces (including 1 tandem space) plus fees in lieu for 8 spaces, on a 4,023 square foot lot in the C-2 (Restricted Commercial) zoning district at 70 10th Street. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on July 17, 2018, to consider the Precise Development Plan 16-7 and Parking Plan 16-2 application at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. SECTION 3. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission did not have evidence that a sufficient number of parking spaces would be provided on-site for customers, clients, visitors and employees for the combination of uses proposed to occupy the site. The HBMC requires 12 spaces for this project, and the project proposes 4 on-site spaces (including 1 tandem space) plus payment of fees in lieu for 8 spaces. Further, the evidence presented did not provide the Planning Commission with assurance that the configuration of the proposed on-site parking spaces would be adequate to accommodate customers, clients, visitors and employees of the various combinations of uses proposed to occupy the site. SECTION 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following findings to DENY the application for Parking Plan 16-2 pursuant to Section 17.44.210 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC): A Parking Plan is a mechanism provided in the HBMC to allow for a reduction in the number of spaces required. The proposed project with the combination of uses (retail, general office and a single- unit motel) requires a total of 12 parking spaces. The proposed project provides 4 on-site spaces (including 1 tandem space) plus payment of fees in lieu for 8 spaces. Thus, the project requires a Parking Plan to meet HBMC parking requirements. HBMC Section 17.44.040 (E) 2.b. requires building sites, where buildings will exceed a 1:1 gross floor area to building site area ratio, to provide a 31 minimum of 25% of the required parking on-site with the remaining required parking authorized to be paid through in-lieu fee contributions with approval of a Parking Plan. In accepting in-lieu parking and in approving a Parking Plan, the Commission must find that adequate parking will be provided for customers, clients, visitors and employees. Members of the Commission and public were concerned with the lack of sufficient on-site parking proposed and found that providing approximately 67% of the 12 required parking spaces through payment of 8 parking spaces in-lieu was too high of a percentage to be provided in-lieu. The Commission found that the 4 proposed on-site parking spaces were not sufficient to satisfy the parking needs for the combination of uses proposed. The nearest public surface parking lot, which contains 130 parking spaces, is located 300 feet away at 1101 Hermosa Avenue (Lot A) . The public parking structure containing 261 parking spaces located at 13th Street and Hermosa Avenue (Lot C) is located within 900 feet of the subject property. Occupancy rates for Lots A and C during weekday afternoons is 95% and 96% respectively. Public parking spaces are provided throughout the Downtown, which is located within Zone 2 of the Coastal Zone public parking supply (between 16th Street and 8th Street and as far east as Ardmore Avenue). In Zone 2, through a combination of public parking lots and metered street parking spaces, occupancy rates are 48% on weekday afternoons. Based on these numbers, there is a lack of sufficient public parking available in the area to accommodate the parking demand from the proposed uses and makeup for the lack of 8 parking spaces on the site until in-lieu fees could be used to supply additional parking in the area. Therefore, the project with only four parking spaces would place an undue burden on the parking resources in the surrounding neighborhood. General office and retail uses both require one space for 250 square feet of gross floor area. The new 2,744 square foot commercial building requires 11 parking spaces, and the existing 1,840 sq. ft. single- family residence (to be converted to a single-unit motel) must provide one parking space because a motel is required to provide one parking space per unit. Although future retail/office tenants of the building are not known at this time, peak parking demand for retail typically occurs between 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. weekdays and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekends. Peak demand for office uses typically occurs between 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. weekdays and weekends. The combination of the motel, retail and office uses will have patrons visiting the site throughout various hours of the day and the project does not provide adequate parking for the demand created by customers, clients, visitors and employees. SECTION 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby DENIES the request for Precise Development Plan 16-7 because the project does not provide the parking required under HBMC Section 17.44. In accordance with HBMC Section 17.58.030, denial of a PDP is appropriate when the proposed development is inappropriately designed in relation to the surrounding vicinity. The lack of on-site parking is an inappropriate design in that it doesn’t meet code requirements and places an undue burden on the parking resources in the surrounding neighborhood. Given the square footage of the proposed development, layout of the uses and the lot size, there are no conditions that can be approved to the current proposed design that can accommodate more on-site parking. SECTION 6. While a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for this project, pursuant to Section 15270 of the ‘Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the project is not subject to CEQA because CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. 32 SECTION 7. Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6, any legal challenge to the decision of the Planning Commission, after a formal appeal to the City Council, must be made within 90 days after the final decision by the City Council. VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: CERTIFICATION I hereby certify the foregoing Resolution P.C. No. 18-XX is a true and complete record of the action taken by the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach, California at its adjourned regular meeting of July 17, 2018 and memorialized on August 21, 2018. ________________________________ ____________________________ Marie Rice, Chairperson Ken Robertson, Secretary Date 33 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 18-0479 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 21, 2018 Information Only: Public Hearing Notices and Projects Zoning Map Attachments: 1.Public Notices 2.Projects Zoning Map City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™34 Easy Reader Run Date: August 9, 2018 DISPLAY Acct: 7010-2110 City of Hermosa Beach PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach shall hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 21, 2018 to consider the following: 1.

Background The applicant submitted revised plans for this project quite late, and although staff was able to meet the deadline to publish the public hearing notice in the newspaper, we were not able to meet the deadline for the public hearing notices that are required to be mailed to owners and occupants in the vicinity. Because both deadlines must be met in order to conduct the public hearing, but one of the deadlines was missed due to the applicant’s late resubmittal of plans, staff must recommend that the public hearing be continued to the Commission’s September 18, 2018 meeting.

PARKING PROVIDED/PROPOSED:No on-site parking/no change proposed City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™39 Staff Report REPORT 18-0492 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:Categorically Exempt, Section 15303(c), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, as the proposal pertains to an existing facility and involves only minor alterations of the interior/exterior The project site is located within the Downtown District in the “Hermosa Courtyard” building at 1332 Hermosa Avenue (Suite 8 & 9) on the east side of Hermosa Avenue between 14th Street and 14th Court. The tenant space is adjacent to the Underground Pub and Pedone’s Pizza, with The Standing Room to the south and the Beach Market across Hermosa Avenue to the west. The closest residential uses are located on the north side of 14th Street. Bordering the Courtyard building property are multi-family residential properties to the north, a parking lot to the east, and to the south and west a mix of commercial businesses along Hermosa Avenue. The subject site is part of a multi-tenant building with 120 feet of frontage along Hermosa Avenue. Suites 8 and 9 were previously occupied by a medical office use. The proposed business (EBB & Flow Concierge Fitness) is a small fitness center that will offer all- inclusive personally designed fitness programs targeted for busy business professionals seeking a flexible and tailored fitness program. All fitness services provided by the business include all business amenities such as, PH balanced water, towel service and nutritional coaching. All training sessions are 60 minutes each and by appointment only. Hours of operation are proposed between 6:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday with a maximum of 10 appointments per day. The equipment used generally includes low impact gear such as leather medicine balls, rubber dumbbells, a wall mounted rack, rubber bumper plates, exercise rope, exercise sled, rubber bumper plates, and foam PLYO boxes. PLAE sports flooring (attack turf) is proposed to be located under all equipment in the cardiovascular exercise room (Suite 8), and sound dampening mats measuring two inches thick, under all weight training equipment and the strength training room (Suite 9). Analysis: The C-2 (Restricted Commercial) zone aims to provide opportunities for a limited range of office, retail, and service commercial uses specifically appropriate for the scale and character of the downtown (a resident and visitor serving pedestrian-oriented shopping/entertainment) district. Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.26.030, the proposed health and fitness (assembly use) requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the C-2 zone. 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 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: City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™40 Staff Report REPORT 18-0492 17.40.020 General criteria for all uses A.Distance from existing residential uses: The nearest residential uses are located north of 14th Street, within the R-3 Multiple Family residential zone and approximately 110 feet from the tenant space wall. Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to reduce potential noise and vibration impacts to existing nearby residential uses which include: 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 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: The proposed location in the downtown, pedestrian-oriented district, will rely on public parking and foot traffic from patrons already traversing the area (and presumably already parked) because the existing multi-tenant commercial building has no existing on-site parking and does not meet the current parking requirements. Businesses within the existing commercial building utilize surrounding parking lots located within the Downtown District. Likewise, the proposed health and fitness facility anticipates its clients will utilize surrounding parking lots located within the Downtown District. Due to the lack of on-site parking, the existing building is considered a non-conforming structure. Pursuant to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.44.030. (11). gymnasiums/health and fitness centers with 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 shall have 1 parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. The previous medical office use required 1 parking space per 200 square feet of gross floor area; thus, the facility is less parking intensive than the previous medical office use and will bring the existing non- conforming structure closer to compliance with parking requirements. The fitness facility will have two to three employees with a maximum of seven to eight people on site, whereas the previous business employed four to five employees with a maximum of eight to nine people on site. The tenant space square footage will not be increased. As such, no additional parking is required for the proposed assembly use. C.Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds: Noble Park is the nearest of these types of sensitive receptors at approximately 428 feet from the project site. The proposed assembly use will not likely to affect Noble Park or other parks or similar uses in the vicinity because the proposed fitness facility is a complimentary use. In addition, the conditions of approval will ensure that all activities for the proposed fitness facility will be held strictly indoors within suite 8 & 9. D. The combination of uses proposed: The entire 850 square foot suite (suites 8 & 9) will be dedicated to the fitness facility and will not be combined with any other uses. The tenant space is located within a multi-tenant commercial building with a variety of commercial uses such as general offices and restaurants. The proposed use, as conditioned, is anticipated to have minimal impacts because impacts such as noise and parking, are minimized. Noise and vibration impacts and City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™41 Staff Report REPORT 18-0492 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: The business owner proposes a maximum of three employees during their largest shift and a maximum of eight people are anticipated on-site at peak time. The business owner proposes to install PLAE sports flooring (attack turf) under all equipment in the cardio room (suite 8) and sound dampening mats, measuring two inches thick, under all weight training equipment in the strength training room (suite 9). The tenant space has a total of three fixed windows and two entire doors, which the business proposes to have closed during all operational hours. Noise and vibration impacts are detailed further in criteria I below. These precautions are all intended to minimize impacts related to noise, vibration and parking. 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. 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 health and fitness use because the capacity of the tenant space is not anticipated to increase and building square footage will not increase. G. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: There are no proposed exterior façade modifications as part of the request. All proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application. H. The number of similar establishments or uses within close proximity to the proposed establishment: There are several health and fitness facilities located within the Downtown District. Fitness facilities are community-serving uses, and their proximity among other commercial uses facilitates the park-once strategy in the Downtown and encourages further commercial activity in the area, as fitness patrons may easily frequent the local restaurants and retail shops before/after their workout. This location is also within walking distance of many residences in the community. As such, the propose use is complementary. I. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: The proposal is to designate suite 8 for cardiovascular exercise and suite 9 for strength training. The business owner proposes lower impact cardio equipment to reduce noise and vibration impacts to surrounding uses, such as an exercise sled, wall mounted hangers, exercise ropes, and leather medicine balls. PLAE sports flooring (attack turf) will also be installed in the cardio room (suite 8) to absorb shock and sound that may be created by the proposed activities. The other half of the tenant space (suite 9) will be designated as the weight area or “strength room.” The proposal is to utilize rubber weight equipment to help reduce noise impacts. The proposed strength equipment includes rubber dumbbells, wall mounted rack, rubber bumper plates, and foam PLYO boxes. The proposal also includes to City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™42 Staff Report REPORT 18-0492 installation of sterling athletic sound rubber tile in the strength room (suite 9) to control audible sound transmissions. The proposal is to keep all doors closed during business hours in order to reduce noise impacts and ensure the privacy of their clients. The tenant space has existing air conditioning and ventilation which facilities keeping all doors closed during business hours. 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, strictly prohibiting weight dropping and requiring signage inside tenant space indicating no weight dropping, as well as ensuring that all fitness activities are limited to the interior of the tenant space and all doors are maintained closed to maximize sound proofing. The proposed health and fitness facility 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 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 health and fitness use is similar to other fitness facilities in the area such as the neighboring use, Karmice Energy Pilates, which offers group fitness classes. While there has been an increase in the number of fitness facilities in the area over the last several years, fitness facilities are typically community-serving uses that support Hermosa Beach’s health conscious beach culture and the associated goals and policies of PLAN Hermosa. The proposed fitness facility has also been conditioned to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and to mitigate potential parking, noises and vibration impacts. 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 15303(c), Class 3 Exemption, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures because the proposal pertains to an existing structure and involves only minor alterations to the interior of the structure/exterior. 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. 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 Community Commercial land use designation provides space for locally oriented commercial uses including retail stores, City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™43 Staff Report REPORT 18-0492 restaurants, professional and medical offices, and personal services. 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. Parking located within the Downtown District Character Area should be provided off-site through public or private shared parking facilities, with any on-site parking situated to the rear of the buildings and/or hidden and screened. Walking and bicycling are the primary means for traveling around Downtown while vehicles are accommodated through consolidated parking lots and metered on-street parking. The proposed uses implements the following PLAN Hermosa goals and policies: Land Use policies 1.3 Access to daily activities, 1.7 Compatibility of uses, 1.8 Respond to unique characteristics, 1.9 Retain commercial land area, 13.2 Social and health needs, 13.4 Private health, uses and 13.6 Connecting health and land use.

Advanced athletes are also reluctant to push their limits on taller boxes for the same reason. If an athlete does not commit to the jump out of fear, the chances of getting hurt further increase.Rogue Foam Plyometric Boxes solve this problem. They are firm enough to perform plyometric movements, but soft enough that they will not injure your shins if you miss. You can customize the height of the box so that athletes can either work their way up to a prescribed workout height or up to a personal max box jump. Footprint: 28in x 28in VIZIO FLAT SCREEN 42” This tv will be included in the gym to help create ambiance fitting with our brand. The tv will permanently remain muted or on the closed captioned feature creating no sound.

If supportive of the proposal direct staff to set a specific public hearing date for consideration of the appropriate Zoning Code text amendments. Background: At the Planning Commission meeting held on June 25, 2018 Staff presented a report that summarized a proposal prepared by THRIVE Hermosa that would allow local commercial businesses to offer low impact entertainment options such as games, acoustic music and open mic during “off hours” without requiring the business operators to have to go through a difficult, time-consuming and expensive process such as the existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Representatives of THRIVE Hermosa also addressed the Commission and answered several questions. A brief analysis of the current code requirements for the offering of “Live Entertainment” as amended and clarified in the Zoning Code in 2013 was provided. Additionally, staff suggested a possible revision to the current definition and the addition of a new definition for “Entertainment, Limited Live” that would incorporate into the City’s code the type of uses described by THRIVE. The following are some of the reoccurring comments, ideas and issues that were raised by the Planning Commission during the discussion: ·It’s critical that the term “low impact entertainment” or “limited live entertainment” be defined as best possible. ·It is important to define noise and other possible negative impacts on surrounding properties. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 1 of 7 powered by Legistar™77 Staff Report REPORT 18-0493 ·Low impact or limited live entertainment offerings should not be permitted “by right”. There should be a need to apply for a permit that requires businesses to identify the type of activity they are interested in offering; the days and times of the activity; and other relevant information. The application for the permit should be processed administratively at the Staff level. ·A permit should address the time, place, manner of the activity and could include conditions or restrictions to address potential negative impacts of the proposed entertainment activity. ·The application should have a relatively inexpensive fee. ·What impact would such a permit have on businesses with approved Conditional Use Permits allowing live entertainment? ·What if anything are the consequences of offering prizes as part of the games played as a limited live entertainment use. ·Businesses offering some type of low impact or limited live entertainment should be able to advertise the activity. ·Could such a new permit deal with one-time activities such as fundraisers that include some form of entertainment? At the conclusion of the meeting the Planning Commission directed staff to provide them with more refined information and direction at the next possible opportunity. Analysis: MORE EXTENSIVE SURVEY OF INTERESTED BUSINESSES Initially THRIVE Hermosa conducted a survey of seven businesses who had been impacted by recent code enforcement actions. Of those owners, approximately 83% were interested in being able to offer live acoustic music, 67% were interested in offering hosted games and 16% were interested in offering readings, comedy and open mic. Since that time THRIVE Hermosa has conducted another survey. Twelve businesses not previously surveyed responded for a total of sixteen businesses including four from the initial survey. The respondents include eight food and seven retail businesses, with one business being a combination of both. Of these responses thirteen confirmed that they are interested in offering some form of limited live entertainment with three responding with a maybe. The majority of the businesses are interested offering live music with 1-2 performers. Others are interested in offering recorded music with no DJ comedy, hosted games and open mic events. Most prefer to offer the activities in the early evenings though a few are also interested in the afternoons. Two businesses indicated that they felt there shouldn’t be a fee associated with the approval such activities. DEFINITION OF LOW IMPACT OR LIMITED LIVE ENTERTAINMENT THRIVE Hermosa introduced the term “low impact entertainment options” in their proposal referring City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™78 Staff Report REPORT 18-0493 to such activities as game night, acoustic music and open mic. On the other hand, staff recommended that such activities might be best addressed in the Zoning Code under a heading or new definition of “Entertainment, Limited Live” to correspond with the existing definition of “Entertainment, Live. The introduction of a new definition would also entail an amendment to the existing definition as follows: Amend the existing definition as follows: Entertainment, Live. "Live entertainment" means the provision of live performances including without limitation all forms of music, theatrical or comedic performance, song, dance, or vocal entertainment by use of a disc jockey to select, play and/or announce music or both or announcer, participated in by one or more employees, guests, customers, or any other person or persons. Acoustic, unamplified, non-percussive background music provided accessory to an established onsite use during normal business hours by a maximum of two persons without advertisement and without charge is excluded. (Note: the changes to clarify disc jockey is to address current enforcement issues and implement recommendations from the Downtown Enhancement Subcommittee.) Add the following definition: Entertainment, Limited Live.“Limited live entertainment” means the provision of live entertainment as defined herein, but only as accessory to an established onsite use for limited periods of time outside of late night hours, provided by a maximum of two performers at any time, that does not result in offsite impacts or contribute to impacts within the commercial district or adjacent residential districts in accordance with operational standards in the commercial zoning districts where allowed. What types of activities might be considered as appropriate within this proposed use category? Listed in the THRIVE Hermosa proposal are activities such as hosted games, amplified acoustic music, comedic acts, karaoke, poetry readings and open mic. Examples of board games that are often played in bars and sometimes restaurants include Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, Dominoes, Checkers, Chess and Battleship. Some of these games are louder by their very nature and involve larger numbers of team players such as the charade-like game Pictionary. On the other hand, a game like chess is a relatively quiet and focused one-on-one match. Each of these games and other not listed here have their own unique characteristics and represent different potential impacts from minimal to potentially disruptive depending on the number of teams, players, participants, observers and the noise that might be created by the active participants and possibly audience. Bingo for example generates a certain level noise because of the calling out of the numbers and jubilant cries of the winners. Other types of games that might be played are those similar to a game known as Jenga where building blocks are built and then players take turns removing individual pieces without disrupting the tower of wooden blocks. This is a simple game that can generate a lot of laughing and other noises as participants either succeed or fail on any of their given turns. Additionally, there are music-related games such as ‘Name That Tune” and dice-drinking games. Clearly it isn’t possible to list every type of game that a business owner might wish to offer as an off-hour activity and to analyze the possible noise impacts of each one. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™79 Staff Report REPORT 18-0493 Examples of table-top games or sporting games are pool, shuffleboard, foosball, air hockey, corn hole, ping pong. Such games including video games would not be included as part of a limited live entertainment permit for approval since the introduction of such games require changes in floor plans and seating layouts. In addition to games there is a desire to be able to offer amplified acoustic music as well as amplified comedy acts, open mic and karaoke with a maximum of two performers. These activities likely don’t generate noise at volumes or decibel levels comparable to other amplified entertainment such as larger bands playing any assortment or genre of music. However, they will generate some noise that will differ on a case-by-case basis depending on the specific performances, venues, number of participants and sizes of the audiences. Experience with other seemingly innocuous activities or events in various communities such as turtle races, for example, have proven from experience that they generate a lively sometimes noisy crowd of participants and observers. Therefore, any attempt to develop a list of activities that may or may not be deemed as acceptable is be problematic and will always be out-of-date. Instead the approval of such activities should be regulated through an adopted, definition with standards and limitations on a case-by-case basis based on the issuance of a unique permit with specific conditions as deemed appropriate. It should be noted that it is not expected that one-time fund-raising events with live entertainment would be considered similar to the activities being discussed here since such events are unique and infrequent in nature. Fundraising events would continue to be approved as Temporary Minor Special Events through the administrative permit process. Further discussion of this process is provided later in the report. STANDARDS AND LIMITATIONS A number of required standards and limitations could be adopted related to this new use in the commercial zones where such activities would be offered while the category of “Entertainment Live” would continue to be allowed by CUP only. Such operational standards could be as follows: ·Hours: During normal business hours but no later than 9:00 P.M. daily. ·Noise: Cannot be audible on the exterior of the business premises. ·Operations/Seating: Does not result in the need for additional seating or change in the floor plan to accommodate the limited live entertainment and/or accommodate a stage for the entertainment, dancing or hosting of an activity or event. ·Prizes: Shall be awarded in accordance with Chapter 5, Business Licenses and Regulations of the City’s Municipal Code. Limiting these types of activities to daytime and early evening hours with a cut-off time of 9:00 P.M. would allow them to occur during what are typically regarded as off hours for businesses who are City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 4 of 7 powered by Legistar™80 Staff Report REPORT 18-0493 interested in participating. It also prevents these activities from occurring in the late evening hours when they might have a negative impact on the surrounding properties both commercial and residential. Lastly iI would also avoid an overlap between “Entertainment, Limited Live” activities and “Entertainment, Live” activities as permitted by an approved CUP that typically begin at 9:00 P.M. or later. Most businesses with CUPs that allow them to offer live entertainment should not be affected by the introduction of this new use category. The only case where this might be problematic is if a business has a CUP that specifically states that the proposed limited live entertainment activity is prohibited. In such a case the existing CUP would need to be amended. Businesses could potentially have approval to offer both types of live entertainment. The major issue associated with any type of entertainment is that of the noise specifically noise that spills outside of the physical establishment hosting the activity. The Public Safety Element of City’s PLAN Hermosa (Integrated General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan, adopted August 22, 2017) cites the noise from bars and restaurants as a frequent source of complaints. Noise that is generated due to outdoor dining areas, late night operations, recorded or live music, human speech and laughter. As stated in that document: “The City of Hermosa Beach does not have quantitative standards by which to assess the impact of noise from bars and restaurants. Rather, the City’s Municipal Code regulates it in the following manner: • Prohibits “repeated or sustained noise from the premises of any commercial establishment which is adjacent to one or more residential dwelling units, including any outdoor area part of or under the control of the establishment, between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. that is plainly audible from the residential dwelling unit’s property line.” • Prohibits “sustained amplified music from the premises of any commercial establishment on Pier Plaza that is plainly audible eighty (80) feet from the property line of the establishment.” • Requires that “all exterior doors and windows of a business establishment located on Pier Plaza shall be closed while amplified music is being played in the establishment.” Setting a subjective standard defined as noise that cannot be audible from outside the premises actually makes it more enforceable than setting a noise standard based on a not to exceed specific decibel limit. This is so because the City currently does not any noise meters not does it have anyone who is trained to use such a device making such a standard unenforceable. The definition of limited live entertainment should be an activity accessory to the main activity of the business that would not require any changes to the way the business, restaurant, bar or lounge or retail establishment to add more seats or to rearrange the existing floor plan to allow for the hosting of the activity or dancing by the clientele. Only very minor temporary changes to the floor plan might be permitted as described in the required permit. Based on the proposed standards and limitations it is not anticipated that the offering of limited live entertainment options would create an increase in the demand for parking because they are parked to code and limited by established maximum occupancy loads. City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 5 of 7 powered by Legistar™81 Staff Report REPORT 18-0493 PERMIT PROCESSES Currently there are several types of permits that allow for the offering of live entertainment including a Conditional Use Permit, an Administrative Permit that allows for Temporary Minor Special Events and a Special Performance Entertainment Permit. They are described below. Conditional Use Permit Currently any business located in the C-1, C-2 and C-3 zoning districts that desires to provide “Live Entertainment” as per the existing definition is required to apply for a CUP. Section 17.56.010 of the City’s zoning gives the Planning Commission the authority to grant CUPs. The fee for a CUP is $6,953. On average, it takes three to four months for the City to process a CUP from the date upon which an application is deemed as complete by Staff until it is approved by the Planning Commission and blessed by the City Council. CUPs have attached to them various conditions of approval, some standard, others that are specific to the application, that attempt to anticipate and mitigate potential negative impacts. The most common negative impacts of live entertainment on neighboring properties are excessive noise and crowd control. The approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission can be appealed to the City Council by the applicant or members of the public. The appeal period is a maximum of 10 days from the date of the succeeding City Council meeting where the approval is confirmed. The appeal fee for commercial businesses is $2,408. A CUP can be revoked or modified by the Planning Commission pursuant to Section 17.70.010 based on making specific findings. The land use entitlement granted by the approval of a Conditional Use Permit runs with the land meaning that those rights once approved confer onto a specific property not a specific business or business operator. CUPs can be amended by following the same approval process as that of the original CUP should a business wish to change any of the conditions or circumstances as they affect the entertainment activity whether the operator is the same or new to the subject property. The cost of a CUP and the amount of time it takes to process such an application is seen as an obstacle for businesses who desire to offer limited live entertainment activities during off hours. Temporary Minor Special Events pursuant to an Administrative Permit. The Community Development Department has the authority to approve a Temporary Minor Special Event through the administrative permit process. Pursuant to Section 17.42.150 D. 2. e. the frequency and duration of indoor activities promoting or related to the established onsite use including limited outdoor display or activity to attract people to the business are limited to a maximum of twelve (12) times per year at any site and are limited to three (3) consecutive days for each occurrence. The cost of obtaining the permit is $513 and takes several weeks to process. The cost of the permit City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 6 of 7 powered by Legistar™82 Staff Report REPORT 18-0493 is affordable and time to process it is reasonable. However, the limitation on the maximum time frame that is allowed by this permit is not reasonable for the type of limited live entertainment activities that the business community has in mind. Entertainment, Special Performances allowed by Special Permit by the City Council This category is defined as follows: "Special performance entertainment"means temporary or short term live entertainment. Acoustic, unamplified, non-percussive background music provided accessory to an established onsite use during normal business hours by a maximum of two persons without advertisement and without charge is excluded. Such performances refer to entertainment that is offered at special events that occur on the public right-of-way or in some cases on both the public right-of-way and private property. Pursuant to Section 17.26.030 that provides the land use regulations for the C-1, C-2 and C-3 zoning districts, Special Performance Entertainment requires the approval of a CUP as well as special permit issued by the Community Resources Department with the City Council’s blessing.The cost of obtaining such a permit is $? and takes several weeks to process. However, c learly this type of permit is not appropriate for the types of activities that are being considered here. Given that none of these existing processes meet the needs of the businesses with respect to low impact or limited live entertainment a new type of permit should to be introduced. A new permit known as a Limited Live Entertainment Permit could be granted through the Administrative Permit process under Chapter 17.42 General Provisions, Conditions and Exceptional Uses much the way that a Temporary Minor Special Event is currently approved. That would necessitate the addition of a text amendment under Chapter 17.42 General Provisions, Conditions and Exceptional Uses as well as in other Sections of the Zoning Code. Unlike the suggestion by THRIVE Hermosa that an approval be short-term, the approval of a Limited Live Entertainment Permit would run with the land and possibly exist in perpetuity unless the permit were abandoned, revoked or otherwise terminated due to an abandonment of the use.

Recommendations: To discuss and consider the proposal by “THRIVE Hermosa” to allow low impact entertainment options for local businesses through an easy cost effective permitting process. If supportive of the proposal, provide direction to staff regarding the preferred approach for defining and regulating “low impact” or “limited” entertainment, and set a public hearing for the necessary amendments to the zoning ordinance. Background THRIVE Hermosa, a community based organization, became aware of this issue on social media where businesses and customers posted complaints about city enforcement and regulations relating to low-impact entertainment options such as game nights, acoustical music, or open mic nights that would typically occur earlier in the evening and on weekdays. Business owners were also expressing concerns of limited and expensive options to obtain permits to allow this type of low-impact entertainment. Also, some people view low-impact entertainment options as being complementary to efforts to bring in more vibrancy to commercial districts during slower times of the week (i.e. not during the late night hours). Attached is THRIVE’s description of why they find this issue important, their research, and their proposed solution. The City Council has also expressed support of the STEP proposal at its meeting of October 10, 2017.. The Council affirmed the consideration of STEP as part of the Downtown Enhancement subcommittee’s overall strategy for improving the downtown district. Analysis Live Entertainment, as amended and clarified in 2013, is defined in the zoning ordinance as follows: Entertainment, Live. "Live entertainment" means the provision of live performances including without limitation all forms of music, theatrical or comedic performance, song, dance, or vocal entertainment by a disc jockey or announcer, participated in by one (1) or more employees, guests, customers, or any other person or persons. Acoustic, unamplified, nonpercussive background music provided accessory to an established on - 85 65270.00001\31220530.1 DRAFT 6/18/18 2:46 PM site use during normal business hours by a maximum of two (2) persons without advertisement and without charge is excluded. The definition is intentionally very inclusive listing several types of entertainment. In 2013 the change was made to include disc jockey’s and to c reate the small exception for acoustic music with maximum two performers. Other than the exception for two acoustical musicians, there is no distinction or categories for different intensities of live entertainment. Any activity as defined above that is considered live entertainment is only allowed in two ways:  With a Conditional Use Permit in commercial zones  As part of a minor special event permit in commercial zones DEFINING OR DISTINGUISHING “LOW IMPACT” ENTERTAINMENT Thrive Hermosa is suggesting that certain types of entertainment, if limited to certain hours, are lower impact and should be treated differently. The types suggested include acoustic and “amplified acoustic” music, games, reading and comedy, all with maximum 2 performers at a time. The suggested times (based on avoiding peak impact times that already exist impacts in commercial areas), is Monday through Thursday until 10PM, and Friday through Sunday until 8:00 P.M. In discussing this issue with the City Attorney’s office, it is important to be aware that making a distinction as to what types of entertainment are low impact can be problematic. While a poetry reading, comedian, or game facilitator may typically be lower impact, such a performance could easily be as noisy, and cause similar impacts (in terms of crowd response) as a music performance or a Disc Jockey performance depending on the nature of the performance. Also, on the other hand, a band or DJ could easily play very soft or low volume non-intrusive music with little or no impact. Staff’s suggestion would be to consider an approa ch that would more generically addresses time, place and manner of entertainment in the most objective manner possible rather than a subjective preference of a type of entertainment (which can have first amendment implications) For example, “low impact,” “limited,” or “accessory” entertainment could be defined as entertainment by a maximum of two performers at any time; that does not occur during late night hours or peak activity hours in commercial districts; is low in volume or noise impacts; and does not alter the floor plan of the primary use. More specific regulations could then be included as a standard or regulation in the appropriate zoning district where these activities would be permitted. As a starting point for discussion, a possible draft revision to the current definition and an added separate definition could read as follows: Entertainment, Live. "Live entertainment" means the provision of live performances including without limitation all forms of music, theatrical or comedic performance, song, 86 65270.00001\31220530.1 DRAFT 6/18/18 2:46 PM dance, or vocal entertainment by use of a disc jockey to select play and/or announce music or both or announcer, participated in by one (1) or more employees, guests, customers, or any other person or persons. Acoustic, unamplified, nonpercussive background music provided accessory to an established on-site use during normal business hours by a maximum of two (2) persons without advertisement and without charge is excluded. (note: the changes to clarify disc jockey is to address current enforcement issues and implement recommendations from the downtown enhancement subcommitted) Entertainment, Limited Live. “Limited live entertainment” means the provision of live entertainment defined herein, but only as accessory to an established on site use for limited periods of time outside of late night hours, provided by a maximum of two performers at any time, that does not result in offsite impacts or contribute to impacts within the commercial district in accordance with operational standards in the commercial zoning districts where allowed. Standards and limitations for these two distinct uses would be provided for in the commercial zones. The broader category of “Live Entertainment” would continue to be allowed and regulated only with a CUP, while “Limited Live Entertainment” could have a different set of standards and permit process. Again, for discussion purposes, the commercial zoning districts could include objective operational standards such as the following:  Hours: During normal business hours, but not later than 9:00 P.M. Monday through Thursday or 8:00 P.M. Friday, Saturday and Sunday  Noise: Cannot be plainly audible from outside the premises (or not to exceed a certain decibel limit)  Operations/Seating: Does not result in additional seating or change in the floor plan to accommodate the live entertainment and/or accommodate customer dancing PERMITTING PROCESS AND STANDARDS For the purposes of framing this discussion staff has identified the following three possible approaches to implementing a regulatory program that distinguishes low impact entertainment from general live entertainment. 1. Allow low impact entertainment by right subject to standards in the relevant commercial zoning districts. 2. Allow low impact entertainment through an administrative permit process where permits are reviewed and approved by staff for compliance with standards (this aligns with the recommendation by THRIVE) 87 65270.00001\31220530.1 DRAFT 6/18/18 2:46 PM 3. Allow only with a Planning Commission approval, either by a lower cost CUP amendment, or perhaps a lower cost streamlined Planning Commission approval process (like the Commission process for grade/height determinations) Thrive also suggests a trial period of 6-months for the implementation of any program. Given that code amendments are necessary staff suggest that initial changes be implemented on a permanent basis, with direction to report back in a year to assess the success, participation, and any problems. Alternatively, a temporary ordinance could be adopted with a sunset provision, forcing a re-evaluation and reconsideration at a public hearing at a set future date. Summary Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine if they are supportive of a separate definition and permitting process for “low impact” or “limited” or “accessory” entertainment, and if so, direct staff to bring back a text amendment with direction on preferred time, place, and manner regulations, and the preferred permitting approach.

For example, advertising is permitted, but a cover charge is not permitted. We have received feedback from businesses that they need to understand what is permitted and also what it not permitted. Anything to provide greater clarity in an ordinance or an associated FAQ would be appreciated. • I like the approach that listing the types of entertainment is problematic, and agree that the determination of "limited entertainment" be made at the time of permit request. • I am not in support of a permit that is in perpetuity and associated with the property owner. This is too similar to the current CUP process. I am concerned that if the permit is in perpetuity and associated with the property, then we are back to a large upfront cost. Additionally, if types of entertainment are not listed, but rather evaluated at the time of the permit request, what happens when the business wants to change the type of entertainment offered? There would also need to be a new process for revocation as well. The whole idea behind STEP is for it to be easy, adaptable, and low cost for the business operator. Sincerely, Claudia Berman 94 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 18-0494 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 21, 2018 Clarifications to Process and Standards for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits Applicant: Recommended Action: To approve by minute order the attached clarifications into the Conditional Use Permit Review Process, and recommend they be affirmed by City Council. Background The Commission directed staff to provide clarification for the newly established tri-annual CUP review process with respect to the evaluation and reporting period used for each review.This clarification is expressed in the amended item number 5 in the attached document,which makes clear the review is for the 6 prior months,consistent with the time period for the criteria thresholds.Also,as previously discussed,the language is clarified to confirm that the Police Chief retains discretion to bring an establishment before the Planning Commission for review anytime,where for example,there are continuing police problems or nuisances.This issue has also been a concern of the downtown enhancement subcommittee,and relates to a perception that the Chief’s discretion was somewhat limited to only incidents related to serious crimes,and not crimes and other incidents (i.e.ABC violations)that may be indicators of establishment’s poor management practices that should warrant a review.This CUP process is provided to maintain an objective and consistent approach to reviewing the CUPs for alcohol sales,and was not intended to otherwise limit the Chief’s ability to recommend Planning Commission review of a CUP in her ordinary course of duties.Therefore,the language is clarified in the policy that the notwithstanding the CUP review,the City may recommend a CUP review at any time to determine if CUP revocation or modification is warranted. Attachments: 1. Proposed Amendment Respectfully Submitted by: Ken Robertson, Community Development Director City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™95 Process and Standards for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits 1) The CUP review process will consist of an administrative review process in which the on -sale establishments’ activities would be reviewed against an established set of criteria three times per year. 2) On-sale establishments with a CUP would be referred to the Planning Commission for a CUP review, and subsequently for a modification/revocation hearing if the Commission so decided upon its review, when they exceed established standards for each criteria to trigger such a review. 3) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP review and potential modification/revocation hearing will be based on the frequency or number of incidents/violatio ns within a stipulated timeframe. This type of system avoids the inherent problems of “point systems” where the standards for assigning values are potentially subjective. 4) The standards that would trigger a referral to the Planning Commission for a CUP rev iew and potentially for a subsequent modification/revocation hearing are as indicated in Table 1 below. 5) The administrative review of CUPs should be conducted three times per year with an evaluation of the on-sale establishments’ activities for the prior 6-month period. 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 crite ria above has been determined and as evidence in any CUP modification/revocation hearing.

(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 licen se, or the Municipal Code may be required and considered during any modification/revocation action. 96 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 18-0476 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 21, 2018 Verbal Report on City Council Actions City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™97 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 18-0477 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 21, 2018 Verbal Status Report on Major Planning Projects City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/3/2022Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™98 City of Hermosa Beach Staff Report City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Staff Report REPORT 18-0491 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 21, 2018 September 18, 2018 Planning Commission Tentative Future Agenda Items Recommended Action: To receive and file the September 18, 2018, Planning Commission tentative future agenda items.
