Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) have been submitted and will be reviewed for
compliance with applicable sections of the zoning ordinance.
Access and Parking: Each unit includes a two-car garage located at the center of the lot, accessed
by a shared driveway along the west side of the property accessed from 1st Place. One guest
parking space to be shared by both units is provided along the west property line.
The north side of 1st Place prohibits parking except on Thursday from 8 am to noon to allow for street
sweeping on the south side of 1st Place. The applicant proposes to reduce the existing 13 foot curb
cut to 9 feet 4 inches which increases the parking area on the north side of 1st Place, but does not
result in an additional parking stall for use on street sweeping days.
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 plants to include Mediterranean Fan Palm, Deer Grass, fruitless Olive tree
(dwarf), Coastal Rosemary, Purple Hopseed Bush, variegated Fortnight Lily, Chalk Sticks, and
Trailing Rosemary. An automatic irrigation system is proposed for the landscaped areas.
The project complies with Section 8.44 Hermosa Beach Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution
Control Regulations.
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-2 Two-
Family Residential with Specific Plan Area 7 (SPA-7) located to the east of the block, and to the south
of the block are R-2 Two-Family Residential, and Specific Plan Area 7 (SPA-7) to the east. Similar
residential development is found in the surrounding area comprised primarily of multi-story, single-
and multi-family residences. The proposed front yard setback of 10 feet is greater than the required
five feet. The proposed layout of the buildings is similar to and consistent with residential use types
in the immediate neighborhood.
Open Space: Both units comply with Section 17.12.080 which requires a minimum of 300 square
feet of open space per unit. Open space for Unit 1 is provided on the second level terrace with area
of 201 square feet, and open space for Unit 2 is provided on the second level terrace with area of 211
square feet. A maximum of 100 square feet of roof deck area is counted towards the open space
requirement for each unit.
Subdivision Map:The applicant has applied for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map.The 4,601 square
foot lot can accommodate two units consistent with the R-2 zone,which requires a minimum lot area
of 1,750 square feet 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 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.

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.
Design of the proposed subdivision is compatible and consistent with applicable elements of the
City’s General Plan as addressed above, and is compatible with the immediate residential
environment.
Summary:
The project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map as conditioned are consistent with the zoning code,
subdivision laws and other relevant provisions of the Municipal Code, the site is physically suitable
for the type and density of proposed development.
The specific project findings for a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Vesting

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, 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 demolish a duplex and develop a two-unit
detached residential condominium project.
2. The subject property contains approximately 4,601 square feet, is designated Medium
Density Residential on the General Plan Map, and R-2 Two-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
19
Tentative Parcel Map pursuant to the California Government Code Section 66474 and
Sections 16.08.060 and 16.16.060 of the Municipal Code:
3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Medium Density Residential
designation and R-2 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 standards.
4. The site is physically suitable for a two-unit detached residential condominium project
with both units containing three levels. Each unit includes a two-car garage accessed
from 1st Place by a shared driveway, which runs along the west property line. One
shared guest parking space is provided toward the rear of the lot adjacent to the Unit
2 garage.
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 property is accessed via 1st Place 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 because 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 are 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.
20
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-2 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 Sections 17.40.020 and 17.58.030 of
the Municipal Code.
12. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Medium Density Residential
designation and R-2 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 standards.
13. The site is zoned R-2 and is physically suitable for a two-unit detached residential
condominium project with both units containing three levels. Each unit includes a two-
car garage accessed from a shared driveway which runs along the west property line.
Both garages are located toward the middle of the property. One shared guest parking
space is provided toward the rear of the lot adjacent to the Unit 2 garage.
14. Both Units 1 and 2 comply with Section 17.12.080 of R-2 Two-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
permeable surfaces and landscaping to enhance aesthetics, being consistent with
purposes of the designation, all density and development standards, and access and
services are provided. An in-lieu Park and Recreation Area Dedication fee is required
for each unit.
17. The proposed project as conditioned is consistent with the General Plan and will
ensure compatibility of the proposed density, use and design with neighboring
residential properties, which also contain multi-story single and multi-family
residences. The project as conditioned complies with Section 17.22.060 because the
lot width exceeds 29 feet, unit sizes exceed 1,600 square feet, do not exceed the 30
feet height limit, minimum open space of 300 square feet is met, and the front setback
meets the five-foot minimum requirement.
18. All utilities will be placed underground, integrated into the design, separately metered
and independently provided in each unit. Stormwater runoff will be minimized and a
21
final landscape plan shall be provided per the Green Building, Water Efficient, Water
Conservation and Condominium landscape standards and the required landscape
plan shall be provided, per Sections 8.60, 8.44, and 8.56.

water required to maintain plant health. New landscape shall comply with all of the requirements in Sections 492.6 through 492.15 of the Model Efficient Ordinance and the following, whichever is more restrictive, unless an exception is granted pursuant to Section 8.60.050(D). A.Plant material.1.Plant species and landscape design shall be adapted to the climate, soils, topographical conditions, and shall
be able to withstand exposure to localized urban conditions such as pavement heat radiation, vehicle emissionsand dust, and urban runoff. Water conserving plant and turf species shall be used.2.Plant species or specifications shall comply with any official list of species, guidelines or regulations adoptedby the City to the extent that such lists, guidelines or regulations do not conflict with this Chapter3.'Plants listed in the current Invasive Plant Inventory for the southwest region by the California Invasive
Plant Council or similar source acceptable the Connnunity Development Director are prohibited, except forknown non-fruiting, non-invasive, sterile varieties or cultivars. Plants known to be susceptible to disease orpests in this Climate Zone six ( 6) shall not be used.4.The landscape area of projects proposing exclusively connnercial or industrial uses shall be designed using
exclusively water conserving plants. Single family residential, multi-family residential, mixed use and institutional use projects shall be designed with not more than twenty (20) percent of the total landscaped area in turf or high water use plants in the Water Use Classification for Landscape Species (WUCOLS). Turf may be used as a bio-swale or bio-filter or for functional purposes such as active recreational areas as determined by the Connnunity Development Director. Public agencies shall be exempt from this requirement.
5.Turf shall not be allowed on slopes greater than twenty (20) percent. Where the toe of the slope is adjacent toan impermeable surface, alternatives to turf should be considered on slopes exceeding twenty (20) percent,meaning one (1) foot of vertical elevation change for every five (5) feet of horizontal length. Approved turfareas may be watered at 1.0 of the reference evapotranspiration (ETo).
6 .Planted areas shall be covered with a minimum of two (2) inches of organic mulch, except in areas coveredby groundcovers or within twenty-four (24) inches of the base of a tree, or where a reduced application isindicated. Additional mulch material shall be added from time to time as necessary to maintain the requireddepth of mulch.7.Species and landscape design shall complement and to the extent feasible in compliance with this Chapter be
proportional to the surroundings and streetscape and incorporate deciduous trees to shade west and southexposures. Landscaping shall not interfere with safe sight distances for vehicular traffic, the vision clearance inSection 17.46.060, height restrictions for hedges in 17.46.130, pedestrian or bicycle ways, or overhead utilitylines or lighting.B.Water features, pools and spas.
1.Recirculating water systems shall be used for water features.

control pollutants shall be incorporated into project plans. Rain gardens, cisterns, swales, structural soil,permeable pavement, connected landscape areas, and other landscape features and practices that increase onsiterainwater capture, storage and infiltration, emphasizing natural approaches over technology-based approachesthat require ongoing maintenance, shall be considered during project design. Plans and practices shall comply
with Chapter 8 .44.
D.Irrigation systems.1.An automatic irrigation system using either evapotranspiration or soil moisture sensor data, with a rainshut-off sensor, shall be installed. Drip irrigation emitters shall emit no more than two (2) gallons per hour.
2.An average landscape irrigation efficiency of 0.71 shall be used for the purpose of determining MaximumApplied Water Allowance. Irrigation systems shall be designed, maintained, and managed to meet or exceedthis efficiency. Landscapes using recycled water are considered Special Landscape Areas, where the ETAdjustment Factor shall not exceed 1.0.3.The irrigation system shall be designed to prevent water waste resulting in runoff, overspray, or similar
conditions where irrigation water ponds or flows onto non-irrigated areas, walkways, sidewalks, streets, alleys,gutters, storm drains, adjacent property, or similar untargeted areas. Runoff to other permeable or impermeablesurfaces shall not be allowed.4.Narrow or irregularly shaped areas, including turf less than eight (8) feet in width in any direction, shall beirrigated with subsurface irrigation or low volume above-ground irrigation system.

Chapter 8.56 Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan
8.56. 010 Title. This Chapter shall be known as the "City of Hermosa Beach Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan Ordinance."
8.56. 020 Findings
A.A reliable supply of potable water is essential to the public health, safety and welfare of the people and
economy of the State, the southern California region and City of Hermosa Beach.
B.The State of California, southern California region and the City of Hermosa Beach suffer from periodic
water shortages, and a growing population, climate change, environmental concerns, periodic energyshortages, and other factors make the region highly susceptible to water supply reliability issues.
C.An active water conservation program with conservation measures applicable to all sources and uses of
water is essential to ensure a reliable supply of water for drinking, sanitation and fire protection, and to
protect the public health, safety and welfare.D.A Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan is necessary to properly manage water supplies and
mitigate the effects of water shortages within the City by reducing water consumption by residents,
businesses and visitors, while minimizing the hardship caused to the general public to the greatest extent
possible.E.Recycled water (including water reclaimed by the West Basin Municipal Water District, graywater to theextent allowed by law and capture of rainwater) is a valuable resource that can be used to offset imported
and other water supplies and shall therefore be regulated under this Chapter.
8.56. 030 Purpose and Intent

REPORT 17-0282
Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of May 16, 2017
VAR 17-1-- A variance from the nonconforming buildings and uses provisions to allow a single-family
residence to expand beyond 3,000 square feet for the building site while maintaining a substandard
sized nonconforming guest parking space and a nonconforming side yard setback of 2’-9” rather than
the required setback of 4’-9” at 2702 The Strand and determination that the project is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Applicant:A John Berardo
2702 The Strand
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Recommended Action:
To deny the requested variance because all required variance findings cannot be made and
determination that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Background
The lot is a through lot fronting on The Strand with the service road located to the east between 26th
Street and 30th Place. The existing single-family residence is a single-story structure with a two-car
garage, den, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, and dining and living room.
A General Plan Amendment as approved by the City Council in 1987 redesignated the northwest
area IV properties, between 23rd Street and 35th Street and west of Hermosa Avenue, from Medium

REPORT 17-0282
Density Residential to Low Density Residential to further the goal of limiting density in the community.
The applicant proposes to remodel and reduce the first floor square footage by 55 square feet. The
new first floor level will be comprised of a conforming two-car garage, laundry room, bedroom, den,
one and a half bathrooms, foyer, kitchen, and dining and living room. The new second floor will
include an office, bedroom, two bathrooms, master suite and den and new stairs and elevator. The
exterior treatments of the building will be improved and the new additions will comply with current R-1
development standards.
The applicant requests a variance from the Single-Family Residential (R-1) side yard setback zoning
requirement and the Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses Standards as they relate to parking and
maximum expansion in floor area. The applicant requests to maintain the existing north and south
building walls which encroach into the required side yard setback areas while asking to expand
beyond what is permissible in the Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses Section of the Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code (HBMC).
Analysis
CEQA Compliance: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(e), Class 1 Exemption, Existing Facilities,
because the project is an addition to an existing structure that will not result in an increase of more
than 10,000 square feet in an area that is not environmentally sensitive and where all public services
and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan.
Variances shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property,
including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under
identical zoning classification.
Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby
authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is located.
The following findings are required for all variances:
1.There are exceptional circumstances applicable to the property involved;
2.That the variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right possessed
by other properties in the vicinity of the subject property;
3.That the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located;
4.That the granting of the variance will not conflict with the provisions of, or be detrimental to,
the General Plan.
The applicant believes the proposal meets all required variance findings and his comments have
been included herein for each finding and are also provided in Attachment 4.
Finding 1:There are exceptional circumstances applicable to the property involved.

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0282
Applicant Assertions:The applicant asserts that there are no other Strand properties in the city
which have a front property width less than 20 feet. The applicant also states that there are no other
Strand properties that have a 55-foot difference from the front (20 feet) and rear (75 feet) property
line widths.
Staff Analysis: Staff confirms the applicant’s assertion and further notes that, although the subject
lot is an irregular shape, the lot measures 5,761 square feet and is one of the three largest lots which
front on The Strand between 26th Street and 30th Place.
Of the 22 lots between 26th Street and 30th Place which front The Strand, 8 lots are between
approximately 2,600 and 2,900 square feet, 5 lots range from 3,500 to 3,600 square feet, 6 lots are
between 4,200 to 5,400 square feet and 2 lots exceed the subject site square footage of 5,761
square feet with approximately 6,000 and 6,610 square feet of lot area. The two larger lots have been
tied together through a covenant and agreement, while the subject lot has historically remained a
single parcel.
The subject lot is an irregular shape when compared to surrounding properties. Of the 22 lots
between 26th Street and 30th Place which front The Strand, 13 lots are approximately 30 feet wide, 5
lots are between 37 to 45 feet wide, 2 are approximately 60 feet wide and the remaining 2 lots,
including the subject property, have irregular lot widths. The subject lot is narrowest at the west
portion, but an expansion into this area of the lot is possible. The existing building is set back
approximately 25 feet from the front (west) property line, which is a larger setback than surrounding
properties. Also, the applicant is permitted to construct to the 10-foot front setback line, and the
potential buildable area would measure approximately 13 feet by 14 feet at the narrowest point.
The lot is distinctive in that it has a larger buildable area towards the rear (east) portion of the lot and
has more space to provide required parking spaces when compared to surrounding lots. Surrounding
properties, with the exception of the adjacent property to the south, are comprised of symmetrical
shaped lots which are primarily 30 feet in width. The subject lot is irregular in shape with lot widths
varying from approximately 19 feet along The Strand frontage and approximately 76 feet along the
rear property line. The side property lines similarly have irregular lengths of approximately 121 feet
along the north property line and 134 feet along the south property line.
Conclusion: Although the property is irregular in shape, which may arguably be a special or
exceptional circumstance, it is not appropriate to make this finding if the special circumstance is not
related to or causing the deprivation of a privilege that is otherwise available to properties in the
vicinity. In this case, the irregular shape and larger lot size does not deprive the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classification. The property
measures 5,761 square feet and is one of the three largest properties which front on The Strand
between 26th Street and 30th Place, and the unusual circumstance actually give this property more
opportunity to rectify the non-conforming conditions and develop the site in compliance with current
codes and also to build a larger home or addition. The property can be similarly developed to the
front yard setback line, and is distinctive in that the lot has a larger buildable area towards the rear
(east) portion of the lot and has more opportunity to provide a compliant guest parking space. Lastly,
other non-conforming lots are similarly subject to the HBMC Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses

REPORT 17-0282
standards. Therefore, there are no exceptional circumstances applicable to the property which
deprives it of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classification.
Finding 2:The variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right
possessed by other properties in the vicinity of the subject property.
Applicant Assertions:The applicant states that the addition of a second story is an enjoyment held
by a majority of The Strand properties and further reiterates that a majority of properties fronting on
The Strand have at least a 30-foot front lot width. The applicant states that the subject site is unique
in that it must be set back 23 feet due to the irregular lot shape, while all other Strand properties
enjoy a minimum 10-foot required front yard setback, and the existing building has a 22-foot wide
structure towards the front portion of the lot.
Staff Analysis: All non-conforming lots are bound to the same HBMC remodel and expansion
standards. The applicant was encouraged to correct the non-conforming conditions on-site by
providing an additional guest parking space on-site while correcting the non-conforming setbacks,
and in doing so, an expansion would be bound to the Single-Family (R-1) residential development
standards and would not additionally be restricted to the Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses
Standards (HBMC Chapter 17.52). The Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses Section of the HBMC is
what limits the single-family residence to a maximum 3,000 square feet of floor area for the building
site.
Non-Conforming Building and Parking Expansion
The applicant is not prohibited from adding a second story. However, the square footage of the
second story addition is limited due to the non-conforming conditions on-site. HBMC Sections
17.52.030 <http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/HermosaBeach/> and 17.52.035 permit a maximum
100 percent expansion in floor area of the existing buildings on the building site that existed prior to
October 26, 1989, provided that the expansion of a single-family residential use does not result in
greater than 3,000 square feet of floor area for the building site. Expansions shall conform to current
codes.
The existing residence totals 2,235 square feet in floor area, therefore the applicant would be
permitted to add up to 765 square feet of floor area (34 percent expansion). The applicant proposes
to add 1,687 net square feet to the building site (75 percent expansion) totaling 3,922 square feet
which exceeds the 3,000 S.F. total maximum allowable floor area on a building site parameter by
30.73%.
Of the three largest lots which front The Strand between 26th Street and 30th Place with lot areas of
5,761 square feet, 5,970 square feet and 6,610 square feet, the building sizes range from 2,235
square feet, 4,540 square feet and 9,884 square feet in size. It is important to note that many of the
smaller lots which are similarly zoned R-1 contain buildings ranging from 1,540 to 4,860 square feet
in size. If the subject property were brought into compliance with the Single-Family (R-1) building and
parking standards, the applicant could substantially enhance and expand the site due to the large lot
size.
Of the 22 lots between 26th Street and 30th Place which front The Strand, 19 are two-story structures

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0282
while the remaining 3 buildings are single-story. Many of these lots are developed with basement
levels due to the downward slope from Hermosa Avenue to The Strand.
A single-family dwelling unit is required to provide two off-street parking spaces plus one guest
space. The existing non-conforming undersized two-car garage with a non-conforming setback is
located on the east (rear) property line and is proposed to be recessed back three feet and enlarged
to meet the City’s parking standards. One existing non-compliant guest parking space is located
south and adjacent to the garage which does not meet the 8’-6” x 17’-6” dimension requirement. The
current proposal is to provide two garage parking spaces but not provide one guest parking space,
even though the site is large enough to accommodate one. Therefore, the current proposal is to
remain non-conforming with regard to number of parking spaces.
Front Yard Setback
All Single-Family (R-1) residential lots shall have a front yard setback equal to at least 10% of the
depth of the lot; however, the maximum setback shall be 10 feet, and the minimum setback shall be 5
feet. For example, an 80-foot deep lot would require an 8’foot minimum front yard setback; a 40-foot
deep lot would require a minimum 5-foot front yard setback; and a 120-foot deep lot would only
require a maximum 10-foot front yard setback.
The subject lot is narrowest at the west portion and an expansion into this area of the lot is possible.
The existing building is set back approximately 25 feet from the front (west) property line, which is a
larger setback than surrounding properties. However, the applicant is permitted to construct to the 10
-foot front setback line, and the potential buildable area would measure approximately 13 feet by 14
feet at the narrowest point.
Side Yard Setback
The R-1 zone requires every lot provide a side yard on each side of the lot equal to 10% of the width
of the lot, provided such side yard shall not be less than 3 feet in width and need not exceed 5 feet in
width. In addition, the 2013 California Residential Code (CRC) requires that any wall within three feet
of the property line be one-hour fire rated and that there be no openings in such wall. The City
Building Division recommends to the Planning Commission that walls within three feet of a property
line, if approved to remain, be one-hour fire rated and existing openings remain and not be enlarged.
For irregularly shaped lots, the 10% side yard setback is measured utilizing the width dimension at
the midpoint of the lot. For the subject property, the midpoint width is 47.52 feet so the required
setback is 4’-9”. The entire north side of the building, located 2’-9” from the north property line,
encroaches into the required 4’-9”side yard setback. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing
bay window, located 1’-2” from the north property line, which further encroaches within the required
north side yard setback. A portion of the south building wall, at bedroom 3, also encroaches into the
required 4’-9” required side yard setback approximately 4.5”. The non-conforming wall is proposed to
remain and will become the refinished den.
Conclusion: The subject lot is not deprived of a property right possessed by other properties
because all non-conforming lots are bound to the same HBMC remodel and expansion standards,
and the lot is large enough to accommodate and correct the non-conforming conditions. If any of the
non-conforming conditions are maintained, the applicant is not prohibited from adding a second story,
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 2/20/2024Page 5 of 6
powered by Legistar™56
Staff Report
REPORT 17-0282
and the building can be expanded to the 10-foot front setback line so long as the total added floor
area does not exceed 765 square feet. If all non-conforming conditions are brought into compliance
with the HBMC, the property could be developed in compliance with the Single-Family (R-1)
residential development standards and would not be limited to the 3,000 total maximum allowable
floor area on a building site as provided in the HBMC Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses Section.
Findings 3 and 4:The variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is
located, and the granting of the variance will not conflict with the provisions of, or be
detrimental to, the General Plan.
Applicant Assertions:The applicant asserts that the granting of the variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and
zone in which the property is located and will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan
because the use remains a single-family residence and will only include the enlargement of the
existing residence that the neighbors on both sides already enjoy.
Staff Analysis: Staff confirms the applicant’s assertion, and further notes the new additions are
required to comply with the Single-Family (R-1) residential development standards. Also, all existing
non-conforming building walls within three feet of a property line shall be one-hour fire rated. The
addition and remodel exceeds the 50% expansion threshold specified in HBMC Section 15.04.100
(Uniform Building Code), therefore, the building shall be equipped with fire sprinklers, and all utilities
shall be undergrounded as mandated by HBMC Section 15.32.060 (Electrical Code). Therefore, the
structure would become safer for occupants of the building on-site as well as for neighboring
properties.
Summary
Staff cannot support Findings 1 or 2 of the four required findings as described in the staff report, and
therefore recommends adoption of the attached resolution denying the variance.

P.C. RESOLUTION 17-XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DENYING A REQUEST FOR A
VARIANCE FROM THE NONCONFORMING BUILDINGS AND USES
PROVISIONS TO ALLOW A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE TO EXPAND
BEYOND 3,000 SQUARE FEET FOR THE BUILDING SITE WHILE
MAINTAINING A SUBSTANDARD SIZED NONCONFORMING GUEST
PARKING SPACE AND A NONCONFORMING SIDE YARD SETBACK OF
2’-9” RATHER THAN THE REQUIRED SETBACK OF 4’-9”AND IN DOING
SO, DENY AN APPROXIMATE 1,687 NET SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION
TO AN EXISTING 2,235 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE
TOTALING 3,922 SQUARE FEET LOCATED AT 2702 THE STRAND,
LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS PORTION OF LOT 46, BLOCK 1,
SHAKESPEARE BEACH, CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH.
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed on February 2, 2017 by the property owner/applicant A
John Berardo for development of property located at 2702 The Strand, seeking approval of a request
for a Variance (VAR 17-1) from the Nonconforming Buildings and Uses provisions to allow a
single-family residence to expand beyond 3,000 square feet for the building site while maintaining a
substandard sized nonconforming guest parking space and a nonconforming side yard setback of 2’-
9” rather than the required setback of 4’-9”.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider
the subject application on May 16, 2017, 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 15301(e), Class 1 Exemption, Existing Facilities,
because the project is an addition to an existing structure that will not result in an increase of more
than 10,000 square feet in an area that is not environmentally sensitive and where all public services
and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan.
Section 4. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes
the following factual findings:
1. The subject property contains approximately 5,761 square feet, is designated Low Density
Residential on the General Plan Map, and R-1 Single-Family Residential (R-1) on the Zoning
Map.
2. The lot is a through lot fronting on The Strand with the service road located to the east between
26th Street and 30th Place.
3. The applicant requests a variance from the Nonconforming Buildings and Uses provisions of the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) to allow a single-family residence to expand beyond
3,000 square feet for the building site while maintaining a substandard sized nonconforming
guest parking space and a nonconforming side yard setback of 2’-9” rather than the required
setback of 4’-9”.
58
2
4. The existing residence totals 2,235 square feet in floor area, therefore the applicant would be
permitted to add up to 765 square feet of floor area (34 percent expansion). The applicant
proposes to add 1,687 net square feet to the building site (75 percent expansion) totaling 3,922
square feet which exceeds the 3,000 S.F. total maximum allowable floor area on a building site
parameter by 30.73%.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following factual findings pertaining to the application for a Variance pursuant to Section 17.54.020
(B) of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC):
1. The applicant has not demonstrated that exceptional circumstances applicable to the property
place a hardship on this property or deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classification. The property measures 5,761
square feet and is one of the three largest properties which front on The Strand between 26th
Street and 30th Place and the unusual circumstance gives this property more opportunity to
rectify the non-conforming conditions and develop the site in compliance with current codes and
also to build a larger home or addition, the property can be similarly developed to the front yard
setback line and is distinctive in that the lot has a larger buildable area towards the rear (east)
portion of the lot and has more opportunity to provide a compliant guest parking space. Lastly,
other non-conforming lots are similarly subject to the HBMC Non-Conforming Buildings and
Uses standards. Therefore, there are no exceptional circumstances applicable to the property
involved which deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity
under identical zoning classification.
2. The applicant has not demonstrated that the subject lot is deprived of a property right possessed
by other properties because all non-conforming lots are bound to the same remodel and
expansion standards, and the lot is large enough to accommodate and correct the non-
conforming conditions. If any of the non-conforming conditions are maintained, the applicant is
not prohibited from adding a second story, and the building can be expanded to the 10-foot front
setback line so long as the total added floor area does not exceed 765 square feet. If all non-
conforming conditions are brought into compliance with the HBMC, then the property could be
developed in compliance with the Single-Family (R-1) residential development standards and
would not be limited to the 3,000 maximum allowable floor area on the building site as provided
in the HBMC Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses Section.
Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission is unable to make all the
findings required by HBMC Section 17.54.020 (B) and hereby denies the request for a Variance.
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.

REPORT 17-0283
Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
Regular Meeting of May 16, 2017
TEXT 17-2 -- Amend the Sign Code (Municipal Code, Chapter 17.50) regarding automobile sales
signs on Pacific Coast Highway and determination that the project is categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Applicant: Initiated by City Council Direction
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission take no action and thereby allow the temporary
ordinance, authorizing the permanent display of banner signs for automobile dealers along Pacific
Coast Highway, to expire July 23, 2017, and direct staff to commence enforcement efforts and work
with the auto dealerships to develop sign programs that are consistent with the sign code.
Background
Pursuant to the temporary ordinance expiring July 23, 2017 that allows auto dealers on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to
display extended temporary signs for more than 90 days in a calendar year, JAMA Auto House at 700 PCH and Casey’s
Cars at 808 and 840 PCH continue to permanently display multiple banner signs attached to poles on their properties. A
third dealership, Land Rover, is partially located within the City boundary and does not display banner signs.
Banner signs are otherwise not allowed as permanent signs and are therefore subject to the HBMC temporary sign
regulations in Section 17.50.210 (Attachment 1). Generally the code allows three square feet of sign area (wall signs, one
pole sign, etc.) per one lineal foot of building frontage along PCH, as well as temporary signs for up to 90 days per
calendar year. In addition, temporary sign area cannot exceed 40 percent of the allowable area for permanent signs.
History
The request for a sign code amendment to allow banner signs on a permanent basis was first initiated by JAMA Auto
House to legalize their existing unauthorized banner signs in response to systematic code enforcement efforts in 2013
that resulted in an enforcement action in regards to these banners. The Planning Commission by consensus declined to
initiate a code amendment, citing preference for enforcement of the existing sign code to reduce the proliferation of signs
along PCH. The Commission also acknowledged the effort of the PCH/Aviation Improvement Committee to improve
street aesthetics and felt such an amendment may represent a piecemeal approach and was premature.
The City Council on August 13, 2013 considered a similar request to initiate an amendment to the sign code and voted 3
to 2 to approve a six-month moratorium on enforcing banner sign codes on PCH, and directed members of the business
community to form a committee to develop a signage proposal for all of PCH.
In 2013 JAMA Auto House took the lead in forming a small committee and submitted two options for consideration to
narrowly focus on providing exceptions for auto-related businesses. Option 1 was to provide exceptions for both auto
repair and auto sales, while Option 2 would only apply to auto dealer lots.

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0283
On February 25, 2014 the City Council voted 4 to 1 to initiate a temporary, one-year code amendment that allows banner
signs displayed only on auto dealer lots on PCH so that the effects could be studied during that one-year period. Because
the temporary regulation applied only to auto dealers on PCH, businesses that may sell vehicles ancillary to the primary
business (car rental, auto repair where auto sales is not the primary element) were prohibited from displaying temporary
signs for more than 90 days in a calendar year.
Three members of the public spoke, all in support of the temporary code amendment. The owner of JAMA Auto House
stated that sign enforcement in neighboring cities is done only in response to resident complaints. The General Manager
of Casey’s Cars stressed the importance of signage to auto dealer businesses which provide significant revenue to the
City. Lastly, a Hermosa Beach property owner supported the request emphasizing the importance of ensuring the
compatibility of sign code changes with the PCH/ Aviation improvement project and suggested flexibility in the meantime.
On April 15, 2014, the Planning Commission voted 4 to 1 to recommend City Council adoption of an ordinance
authorizing the erection of extended temporary signs by auto dealer businesses located on PCH for a one-year period
and superseding any provisions of the zoning ordinance inconsistent therewith. On May 27, 2014 the City Council voted 4
to 1 to approve the Planning Commission recommendation and on June 24, 2014 adopted Ordinance No. 14-1347
(Attachment 6).
The ordinance temporarily authorized a maximum of 100 square feet of sign area (only one face of a double-face sign
counting toward the total), with a maximum height of 20 feet. This allowance was in addition to other temporary signage
already allowed by HBMC Section 17.50.210. At that time, JAMA Auto House and Casey’s Cars each had approximately
84 square feet of banner signage. Therefore the temporary ordinance to allow a maximum of 100 square feet of extended
temporary signs accommodated the then existing conditions at those particular dealerships.
The owner of JAMA Auto House urged the Council to adopt the temporary ordinance and suggested that their temporary
banners simply be deemed permanent by the City by virtue of their quality.
On April 21, 2015 the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend extending for another year the temporary
ordinance allowing banner signage for auto dealer businesses on PCH.
On June 9, 2015 the City Council voted 3 to 2 to approve temporary Ordinance No. 15-1354 (Attachment 7), authorizing
the erection of extended temporary signs by auto dealer businesses with frontage on PCH for a two-year period (instead
of one year) and superseding any provisions of the Zoning Ordinance inconsistent therewith. Council also directed staff to
devise a comprehensive signage ordinance addressing sign design/policies that apply to all businesses and not
exclusively to auto dealers to complement the Aviation and PCH renovation. Two members of the public, the owner of
JAMA Auto House and the General Manager of Casey’s Cars, addressed the Council on this item.
The ordinance temporarily authorized a maximum of 100 square feet of sign area (only one face of a double-face sign
counting toward the total), with a maximum height of 20 feet above grade. The banners must exclusively identify
businesses on the same premises and must not contain other advertising. Extended temporary banners must only
include the name of the business and/or the product or service provided by the business. Banners must be professionally
produced of high quality materials, securely attached, must not create a hazard or nuisance and must be maintained in a
clean condition free of rips, tears, holes and graffiti. Extended temporary banners must not be displayed until an
application is made in writing on forms supplied and approved by the Building Official. Applications must contain the
location, type of materials, square footage and height of the proposed signs, as well as the name and address of the
business owner.
The City of Hermosa Beach has received no banner sign applications for auto dealer businesses on PCH since adoption
of the temporary ordinance. Staff contacted the two auto dealers with banner signs, and both expressed a desire that the
temporary regulations be extended on a permanent basis. The owner of JAMA Auto House stated that it is very important
for auto dealers to display banners on PCH because the buildings are recessed back toward the rear of the properties
and further stated that the banners are in good condition and there have been no opposition or complaints to date. Code
Enforcement staff and the Chief Building Official indicate no complaints or concerns have been reported since the original
complaint in 2013 which initiated this discussion and assessment.

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0283
Attachments 2 and 3 provide a list of Planning Commission and City Council hearings and minutes regarding auto dealer
signs on PCH.
Analysis
The purpose of the temporary ordinance expiring on July 23, 2017 was to allow existing banner signs to remain in place
for a period of not more than one year in order to provide time to assess the effects of these signs and how they might
relate to the PCH beautification efforts.
As expressed in the 2015 staff report, allowing local businesses to continue to advertise in the manner to which they have
become accustomed and which supports local businesses may align with the economic development objective “to
develop a business friendly reputation,” as long as the aesthetics of the corridor are not significantly degraded.
Conversely, a regulation to allow additional signage that may visually clutter the corridor may not be consistent with the
long term goal of a “revitalized downtown and entry corridors” and the objective of a “more attractive Pacific Coast
Highway and Aviation corridors with more quality businesses” in the City Council’s 2014 Strategic Plan. The 2015 staff
report recognized the ongoing PCH beautification efforts and opportunity to better coordinate the private and public sector
efforts to improve economic conditions and enhance this entry corridor.
Staff performed site visits of the auto dealer businesses along PCH in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Because a portion of the
Land Rover sales lot, which contains the sales/show room and offices, is located within the City of Redondo Beach, the
property and signage attributes were not assessed in depth as standards applicable to a portion of the lot are governed
by the Redondo Beach laws and regulations, and therefore does not lend itself to a strict “apples to apples” comparison.
The table below reports approximate site conditions, existing banner sign conditions, permanent sign allowances and
approximate size of temporary banners if the temporary ordinance expires. Photos of the site conditions and existing
signage at JAMA Auto House, Casey’s Cars and Land Rover are provided in Attachment 4.
Three auto dealer businesses have large lot frontages and two dealers have large building frontages
on PCH. All of the auto dealer properties are located on corner lots and have a visual advantage as
compared to interior lots which have less prominence from the highway.
Auto dealership lots in Redondo Beach have relatively small lots which are similar in size to Hermosa
Beach dealer lots. Dealerships in Torrance, Lawndale and Hawthorne and the Toyota dealership lot in
Manhattan Beach are all on much larger properties with different signage needs (Attachment 5).

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0283
Because auto dealerships are allowed display vehicles outdoors, dealers typically choose to display
their merchandise along the street frontage and have their buildings, and associated building-
mounted signage, located toward the rear of the property. In cities where dealerships are limited in
the amount of outdoor vehicle display area allowed, the buildings containing showrooms are largely
glass structures and are placed in as close proximity to the street as allowed.
The auto dealers along PCH are located within the C-3 and SPA-7 (general and highway
commercial) zones and are subject to sign requirements and regulations provided in HBMC Section
17.50.140.Because each foot of lineal building frontage determines the allowable permanent sign
size, auto dealerships may have a generous amount of permanent signage due to their large building
frontages on PCH.
Auto dealers are unique from other commercial businesses regulated by the sign code since
buildings are typically located at the rear of the property. The three auto dealer buildings are
recessed back approximately 56 feet to 130 feet from the back of the sidewalk. Thus dealers may
have fewer visible building mounted signs near the street frontage.
However, auto dealers are permitted to display merchandise outdoors which further advertises their
products, while other businesses in town are prohibited from having outdoor merchandise display,
with the exception of Pier Plaza. It should be noted that one reason the City decided to prohibit A-
frame signs on Pier Plaza is because those businesses may request permits for permanent outdoor
merchandise displays, which provides much more advertising area than does an A-frame sign.
The banner signs for Casey’s Cars contain graphics of vehicles, advertise the business name and
phone number, advertise service and repairs, and some display the various types of payment cards
accepted. The banner signs for JAMA Auto House similarly contain graphics of vehicles, but have
more general statements such as “great selection,” “incredible deals,” “quality service at wholesale
prices,” and “sell or consign your car.” The temporary ordinance indicates the intent of temporarily
authorizing banner signs was to assist auto sales businesses sell vehicles as opposed to advertising
services such as repair and maintenance work.
Additional outdoor advertising currently used by both Casey’s Cars and JAMA Auto House list vehicle
attributes including price and phrases such as “low mileage,” and “performance” on the windshields
of vehicles displayed outdoors. These signs are not counted toward the business’ total allowed sign
area.
Therefore, auto dealerships are unique and have an advertising advantage as they can permanently
display merchandise outdoors as compared to other businesses along PCH which are prohibited
from permanent merchandise display and from displaying banner signs for more than 90 days. Based
on recent observations, the auto dealer lots which display banner signs on a permanent basis appear
cluttered and piecemealed together compared to the Land Rover lot that doesn’t display banners,
which appears more comprehensive and aesthetically appealing (Attachment 2).
In 2014 staff assessed codes from nearby cities including Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and
Torrance, as well as South Bay cities known to have auto dealers such as Lawndale and Hawthorne.
Torrance and Hawthorne have provisions in their sign code for auto sales lots wherein the product is

largely displayed outdoors. Both neighboring beach cities of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach
are more comparable in many respects to Hermosa Beach than other nearby cities with PCH as the
major thoroughfare and Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach both prohibit permanent banner
signs.
Staff recently reevaluated sign standards of nearby cities of Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach,
Torrance, Lawndale and Hawthorne.
Manhattan Beach: One auto dealership in Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Beach Toyota, received
approval of a Temporary Sign Program which establishes site specific standards for allowable sign
area and duration of display to allow temporary banners on a permanent basis for large retail
oriented commercial sites with a minimum lot size of two acres. Otherwise, the City of Manhattan
Beach only permits temporary banners for a maximum 90-day period in a calendar year. Each tenant
space may apply for one or more temporary signs not to exceed one square foot per lineal feet of
leased "tenant frontage" of a building. For buildings with less than a 20-foot tenant frontage, a
maximum of 20 square feet of sign area is permitted. In any case, the maximum cumulative area is
80 square feet. The maximum area of a single temporary sign cannot exceed 48 square feet. For
tenants occupying corner spaces, a maximum of two tenant frontages may be used to determine the
maximum allowed sign area. The total amount of sign area displayed on each tenant frontage must
be proportionate to the lineal feet of each frontage.
Redondo Beach: The City prohibits temporary signage on a permanent basis, and as part of their
Zoning Ordinance update in 1996, prohibited temporary signs citywide. The City does, however,
authorize temporary signs with a permit. For a grand opening a business may have a temporary
banner measuring no more than 60 square feet for a 60-day period in a calendar year. For events
other than a grand opening, a business may display a temporary banner for a maximum 30-day
period (two times a year) measuring no more than 60 square feet. Temporary banners in Redondo
Beach must be affixed to the building.
Torrance: The City generally prohibits temporary banners on a permanent basis. Banners
constructed of sturdy material may be displayed for a period up to 90 days during any one calendar
year. Extension beyond 90 days is subject to Planning Commission approval subject to the following
criteria: the extension of time will not affect the rights of adjacent property owners or tenants or
constitute an adverse impact on them, will not result in a material change in the concept or execution
of the sign program as approved by Council, the Planning Commission, or other body or official, there
is a hardship to the applicant if the extension of time is not granted, and the extension of time will not
be contrary to any established planning, zoning or sign policies of the Council, a Commission, body
or official for the particular project under consideration as determined by a review of the minutes or
other records of the original approval.
The City of Torrance permits temporary banners for auto dealerships and one additional banner may
be allowed for the used car section of the dealership property. In addition, dealerships are allowed to
display two-sided pole banners not to exceed 200 square feet, and one 15 square foot flag per pole,
to a maximum of 10 per property. Temporary signs may be permitted for up to 90 days per permit, but
must be removed for a minimum of 90 days before another permit may be issued.
Lawndale: The City permits permanent banners at new or used automobile dealerships while

requiring that a sign permit must be obtained annually and banners must be kept in a well-maintained
and attractive manner. Banner size is limited to an aggregate of 40 square feet or a maximum of 20%
of the wall area to which it is affixed, and banners must be affixed to either the building or to the face
of an existing permanent sign.
Hawthorne: The City of allows new and or used vehicle sales businesses to display permanent as
well as long-term temporary signs with Planning Director approval of a comprehensive sign program.
Long-term temporary pole-mounted banners do not require a permit, but must be addressed in the
sign program. A maximum of two banners per light pole are permitted on light poles located within 25
feet of the property lines adjoining public rights-of-way. Pole-mounted banners must not exceed 25
square feet each (50 square feet per pole), must be secured at the top and bottom by cross-
members attached securely perpendicular to the pole, and must not have any portion flutter freely.
Temporary wall-mounted banners require a sign permit. Not more than one banner per 100 feet of
qualified street frontage is permitted, and each banner must be no more than 75 square feet and
must be separated by no less than 75 feet of horizontal distance. Each banner must be securely
fastened on all sides to the wall of the structure, face of the building, and/or face of an existing
permanent sign, and is not be allowed to flutter freely. Not more than four temporary sign permits can
be issued per calendar year, not to exceed 21-day duration each. No more than two temporary sign
permits may be in effect concurrently.
There have been no temporary banner-type sign applications received since ordinance adoption for
auto dealer businesses on PCH.The two auto dealers with banner-type signs were contacted and
one expressed the desire that the temporary regulations be extended on a permanent basis. Staff
consulted with the City’s Code Enforcement staff and Building Official and there have been no
complaints or concerns since the original complaint in 2013 which initiated this discussion and
assessment.
Summary
Auto dealerships are unique from other commercial businesses regulated by the sign code in that
they have an advertising advantage of being allowed to permanently display merchandise outdoors
compared to other businesses in town which are prohibited from permanent merchandise display
(with the exception of Pier Plaza). The merchandise itself is typically used as a platform for additional
advertising signage, and this signage, along with the area used by the outdoor product display, is not
counted toward the total signage area allowed. Three of the four auto dealer businesses have large
lot frontages and large building frontages on PCH which allows a generous amount of permanent
signage to be displayed.All of the auto dealer properties located on corner lots, and therefore have a
visual advantage compared to interior lots which have less prominence from the highway.
Both neighboring beach cities of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach prohibit permanent banner
signs, and these cities are more comparable in many respects to Hermosa Beach than are other
nearby cities with Pacific Coast Highway as the major thoroughfare. Based on recent observations,
the auto dealer lots which display banner signs appear cluttered and piecemealed together compared
to dealerships that don’t display banners, and the cluttered piecemeal appearance does not
complement the ongoing PCH beautification efforts to enhance the entry corridor.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission take no action, and thereby allow the temporary

Hermosa Beach Planning Commission
City of Hermosa Beach
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Commissioners:
The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau respectfully requests that
the Planning Commission vote to allow permanent banner-type signs for dealerships along
PCH. The HBCCVB’s support for this outcome is due to the tremendous advantage it provides
these businesses while aesthetically complementing the city’s overall vision for the corridor.
Hermosa Beach does not have a strong presence of large retail. As high-revenue generating
businesses for the city, dealerships play a vital role in the financial health of this community.
This is an opportunity for the city to update PCH aesthetics by allowing the dealerships to
place permanent pole banners within guidelines on size, colors or design and incorporating
designs that satisfy requests regarding the PCH/Aviation improvements.
There are many options with permanent banners, such as styling, messaging and design
standards that could improve the appearance of the PCH corridor. The Chamber is willing to
work with the city and all dealerships affected by this consideration to provide banner design
resources and direct inquiries to the code once it’s approved by the Planning Commission and
ultimately the City Council.
Thank you for your consideration,
Respectfully,
Kimberlee MacMullan
HBCCVB President / CEO

understand downtown environment and activity at alcohol establishments represented in reports in
relation to the following conditions outlined below by municipal code:
MUNI CODE 17.70.010
D. That the permit or variance granted is being, or recently has been, exercised contrary to the terms
or conditions of such approval, or in violation of any statute, ordinance, law or regulation;
E. That the use for which the approval was granted was or is so exercised as to be detrimental to the
public health or safety, or so as to constitute a nuisance;
F. That the circumstances under which the permit was granted have been changed by the owner or
operator to such a degree that one or more of the findings contained in the permit is no longer valid
and the public health, safety, and welfare merit revocation of the permit; or
G. That the conditions of approval are found to be inadequate to mitigate the impacts of the use
allowed by the permit, and the public health, safety and welfare merit modification of the permit.
H. For a restaurant with on-sale alcoholic beverages, the business is not operating as a restaurant
because the primary function of the operation is the sale or offering for sale of alcoholic beverages
and not the sale or offering for sale of food.

Introduction
Your business is very important. It is valuable to you, your community, and
to the State's economy. You have invested your time, energy and financial resources. Your business offers a place that meets local dining and entertainment needs and provides jobs. And did you know the 72,000 liquor licenses in California make up about 7% of the State's one million businesses? Sales and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages generate over $500 million a year in State revenues!
The best way to protect your valued business is through responsible business practices. Responsible business practices can help reduce your risk of criminal or ABC charges, and civil lawsuits. They also promote profitability and ensure a comfortable and safe environment for customers.
You should document your responsible business practices in the form of written house policies. If you have none, each employee may have his or her own idea about what the rules are, what they mean, and when they should be applied.
This pamphlet will assist you in developing your own house policies. You may want to use our "Model House Policies" or adapt them to fit your needs. In the long term, the responsible business will build a strong and loyal customer base.

Guidelines for Writing Policies
• You may have any company policy that does not conflict with existing laws (for example, no discrimination).
• It is always a good to obtain ideas from your managers and employees when writing new policies. They will be more supportive of policies they helped to create.
• Make sure policies are clear and specific.
• Provide all employees with a copy of the policies.
• To ensure that employees understand their duties, have them sign an Employee Responsibility Statement (see sample on last page). Keep this in each employee's personnel file.
• Reinforce policies by giving regular training to employees.
• Between trainings, hold regular staff meetings. At the meetings, discuss the rules, recent problem situations, and ways to prevent future problems.
• Advise employees that you will spot check their compliance with the policies. Give them a regular performance review.
• Reward employees who do a good job. Provide rewards to those who engage in anti-drug events.
Remember: Written policies, good communication, and a supportive environment will go a long way toward the success of your business.

To: All Employees
From: Management
Subject: House Policies
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Minors
• It is everyone’s job to ensure patrons who are buying or drinking alcohol are at least 21 years of age.
• We will request proof of age (I.D.) from any patron who appears 30 years of age or younger. To help employees do their job, managers will post the following sign in the business:
"NOTICE: Our employees request I.D. from any patron who appears to be under age 30. Thank you for your cooperation."
• We have the right to, and will, refuse service to any patron who cannot produce proper I.D.
• We will know what a real California driver's license and I.D. card look like.
• We may accept the following as proof of age:
-California driver's license -California I.D. card
• We may also accept the following documents as I.D., but only if we know what they look like.
-Other state-issued driver's license or state-issued identification card
• When selling pitchers, we will request an I.D. from each person who receives a glass.
• We will use a pre-printed age chart as a quick way to figure age. The age chart, which says, "To Buy or Consume Alcohol, You Must Have Been Born on or Before [date]," will be updated daily.
• We will use separate types of glassware to tell alcoholic drinks from non-alcoholic drinks.
• When an underage patron moves from one station to another, servers will tell each other.
• If we must refuse service, we will tell a supervisor.
4
142
Advertising, Promotions and Pricing
• We will maintain an atmosphere that promotes socializing. We will provide things to do other than drinking.
• Advertising materials and campaigns will not use alcohol as the main way to attract patrons.
• We will not use promotions that encourage intoxication. There will be no drinking contests. We will not advertise, “Buy one drink, get one free, two for the price of one, or all you can drink.” (These are against the law.)
• We will not offer free alcohol or sell them below cost. This is against the law.
• We will not lower alcohol prices to promote sales.
• There will be no “Happy Hour” because this promotes too much drinking. We will use food or entertainment for cocktail hour specials. For example, we will have a “Hungry Hour.” Appetizers will be free or offered for a low admission price. This brings in patrons and holds down intoxication.
• We will not promote drink specials to certain groups of people. For example, “Ladies’ Night.” (This is against the law.)
• When we promote a special cocktail, wine or beer, we will offer a comparable non-alcoholic drink. If we promote or list alcohol on a menu or display, we will promote a non-alcoholic drink also.
• We will promote food and other non-alcoholic items using table tents.
• If we offer free appetizers or snacks, we will offer them to any patron, whether or not the patron buys alcohol.
Drink Service
• Management and supervisors will support servers’ decisions to stop service to any patron. If they don't, the server might not act so responsibly in the future.
• We will discourage intoxication and not serve any person who looks or acts intoxicated, even if they are taking a taxi or have a “designated driver.” This includes employees and regular patrons who may “always act that way.”
• When a patron has been “cut off” in one person’s station, that person will tell other employees.
• Responsible service techniques may reduce a server's tips. Therefore, we guarantee the tip to any server who stops service to an obviously intoxicated patron.
5
143
• Drinking alcohol during your shift, after your shift, or at closing time is not allowed. Drinking on the job impairs your ability to perform your duties. You are more likely to make mistakes in judgment such as serving underage or obviously intoxicated patrons. Drinking on the job can cause other employees to assume some of your duties without getting paid for the extra work. This can create bad morale. Also, it is harder for you to tell a patron they are "cut off" when you have been drinking along with that person.
• We will not assume a patron wants alcohol. Instead of saying, "May I bring you a cocktail?" say, "May I bring you a beverage?"
• We will promote “alternative beverages.” This is any beverage that can take the place of alcohol. The purpose is for pacing drinking, slowing intoxication, preparing to drive, or offering a beverage choice besides alcohol. Examples are: coffee, juices, mineral water, flavored waters, seltzer, non-alcoholic or low-alcohol beers, wines, and mixed drinks.
• We will provide and promote “mocktail” non-alcoholic drinks that are similar to popular cocktails.
• We will know who is getting each drink. We will not bring a drink for anyone who is not present.
• We will count drinks.
• We will use measured shots, rather than free pouring to ensure against overpouring. (Shots will be one ounce, rather than 1-1/2 or 2 ounces.)
• We will not sell more than one drink to a patron at one time.
• We will not sell pitchers to individual patrons.
• We will not bring a second drink before the patron has finished the first one.
• We will discourage the buying of rounds.
• We will not push drinks.
• We will slow down service if the patron is ordering or drinking rapidly. We will visit the table less often and avoid the table until all patrons have finished their drinks.
• At closing time, we will announce, "It's closing time. We will pick up all drinks in
___ minutes." We will not announce “last call” because this encourages patrons to
gulp drinks before driving. We do not believe in “one more for the road.”
• Bartenders will follow our standard drink recipes.
6
144
Safe Rides
• If a patron is too impaired to drive safely, we will persuade the person not to drive, and arrange for a safe ride. If the patron refuses, employees should advise a supervisor. The supervisor will call the police or sheriff with a description and the license plate number of the car.
• We will post a list of taxi phone numbers at each bar, hostess station, and pay phone.
• We will use the "Designated Driver" Program. The server will ask groups of three or more who the Designated Driver will be. The Designated Driver may receive free non-alcoholic drinks and/or food such as an appetizer or dessert. If the server sees the Designated Driver drinking alcohol, the Designated Driver must pay for all drinks and food he has consumed. “Designated Driver” does not mean that employees may overserve others in the group.
Staff Training
• All staff will be trained in responsible beverage service.
• All staff will be continually updated by management (meetings, memos, etc.).
• We will provide extra training for employees who need practice in serving alcohol.
Food
• We will promote food during the late afternoon and evening hours. Appetizers will be available in the bar until closing time. We will offer high-protein or fatty foods such as meats and cheeses, which slow the absorption of alcohol. We will avoid salty, crunchy items because they cause patrons to drink more.
• We will provide rewards to servers for increased food sales.
• Servers will be rewarded for total sales, including non-alcoholic products.
• We will promote non-alcoholic drinks with table tents.
Crowd Control and Security
• We will allow free access to all law enforcement officers. This includes ABC investigators, police, and sheriff. (All of whom may be wearing uniforms or plainclothes.)
• Overcrowding will not be allowed for several reasons. First, it makes us less able to watch our patrons. This can result in sales to minors and drunk patrons, fights,
7
145
injury, and property damage. Second, patrons may not be able to exit the building during a fire or other crisis. Third, too many patrons means more mistakes, poorer service, and smaller tips.
• We will limit our patrons to the Fire Department's legal limit. During busy times, door people will track the number of people coming in and out of the business.
• We will have enough employees on duty. This will help us watch beverage sales and patrons. We will advise management when more staff is needed.

There are other State and local laws not listed here. When in doubt, call your local ABC office. You can also buy the entire set of ABC laws and rules from your local ABC office for $11.50 plus tax. ABC Penalties. ABC decides penalties for licensees on a case-by-case basis. ABC gives consideration to the type of violation, the licensee's past record, and the facts of each case. ABC penalties may be probation, suspension of the ABC license, a fine of $750-$6,000, or revocation of the ABC license. Definitions. “B&P” means the Business and Professions Code. “CCR” means the California Code of Regulations. “PC” means the Penal Code. “H&S” means the Health and Safety Code. The term “licensee” as used here, means licensees, their agents, and employees. “Alcohol” means an alcoholic beverage. “On-sale” means bars, restaurants, taverns, clubs, hotels, motels, etc. “Off-sale” means liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, etc. “Minor” means person under age 21. Subject Possible Penalties 1. After Hours Licensees may not sell, give, or deliver alcohol (by the drink or by the package) between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the same day.

Incidental, sporadic or infrequent sales of meals or a mere offering of meals without actual sales is not compliance. “Meals” means the usual assortment of food commonly ordered at various hours of the day. The service of only sandwiches or salads is not considered compliance. However, certain specialty entrees, such as pizza, fish or ribs, and an assortment of other foods, such as soups, salads or desserts, may be considered a meal. The Department will presume that a licensee is operating as a bona fide eating place if the gross sales of food prepared and sold to guests on the premises exceeds the gross sales of alcoholic beverages. “Prepared” means any processing preliminary to the final serving of food.

Obviously Intoxicated Persons and Habitual Drunkards No person may sell or give alcohol to anyone who is obviously intoxicated. No person may cause or permit this to occur. A person is obviously intoxicated when the average person can plainly see that the person is intoxicated. In other words, the person looks or acts drunk. This includes regular customers who “always act that way.” It does not matter that the person is not driving. For there to be a violation of law, the prosecutor must prove that the server either saw or had the chance to see the signs of intoxication before the service. Some of the signs of intoxication are: being overly friendly, using foul language, argumentative, belligerent, slurred speech, slow, deliberate movements, swaying, drowsy, stumbling, red, watery eyes, or alcoholic breath. No person may sell or give alcohol to anyone who is a habitual drunkard (a person who has lost control over his or her drinking). No person may cause or permit this to occur. A server may discover a habitual drunkard in one of two ways: (a) A family member tells you the person has a drinking problem and asks you not to serve, or (b) the patron is a regular and unable to handle drinking on a regular basis. A licensee or server who has been warned and still serves a habitual drunkard faces possible ABC disciplinary action and criminal prosecution. (Secs. 25602(a) and 23001 B&P; 397 PC) Criminal: The penalty is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in county jail. (Sec. 25617 B&P) ABC: The first offense is decided on a case-by-case basis. For a second offense within three years, the penalty is a mandatory license suspension. Civil: Lawsuit (for service to an underage, obviously intoxicated person) (Sec. 25602.1 B&P). Civil penalties are money judgments or settlements, usually against everyone (seller or server, licensee, licensee's insurer, etc.). They are determined by the court or jury during a civil lawsuit. 157

Exception: Licensees may sell alcohol for resale to the holder of a Daily On-Sale General license. (Secs. 23393 and 23394 B&P) Criminal: For the violator, the penalty is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in county jail. (Secs. 25351 and 25617 B&P) ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 31. Operating Standards, Retail The following requirements apply to stores (license Type 20 and 21), bars and taverns (license Types 40, 42, 48, and 61). These requirements do not apply to restaurants (license Types 41 and 47), convention centers, exhibit halls, auditoriums, ballparks, stadiums, coliseums, hotels, motels, a certain marine park, wineries, or beer manufacturers. 1. Post “No Loitering” signs upon written notice from the ABC; 2. Post “No Open Container” signs upon written notice from the ABC; 3. No alcohol consumption inside a store or outside a bar or tavern; 4. Illuminate the exterior of the premises, including adjacent public sidewalks and parking lots under the licensee's control, during all hours of darkness when open for business; 5. Remove litter daily from the premises, adjacent sidewalks and parking lots under licensee's control and sweep/clean these areas weekly; 6. Remove graffiti from premises and parking lot within 72 hours (3 days) of application; 7. Have no more than 33% of windows covered with advertising or signs; 8. Have incoming calls blocked at pay phones upon request of local law enforcement or ABC; and 9. Create a separate area for any video recordings of harmful matter (as defined in Penal Code Section 313). The area must be labeled “Adults Only.” Minors may not be able to readily access the videos or view the video box covers. 10. Have a copy of the operating standards available during normal business hours for viewing by the general public. (Section 25612.5(c) B&P) Criminal: The licensee only (not employees) may be cited for each violation of the operating standards. For the licensee, the penalty is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in county jail. (Sec. 25617 B&P) ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 32. Removal of Opened Wine Bottle Restaurants (license Type 41 and 47) may allow patrons to remove a partly-consumed bottle of wine from the premises upon departure. (Customers should place any open bottles in the trunk area of their vehicle to avoid violating the Vehicle Code.) (Sec. 23396.5 B&P) Not applicable. This is a permissive section of law. 33. Retail Delivery Orders Employees cannot deliver alcohol without a delivery order. It must state the quantity, brand, proof, price, name and address of the customer, and name and address of the store. The licensee must keep the order on file for two years after delivery. (Rule 17(e) CCR) Criminal: None ABC: Decided on a case-by-base basis 34. Retail Store Qualifications Licensees may sell alcohol only in the original package for consumption off the premises. Licensees must conveniently display all alcohol. Licensees must make any alcohol deliveries from the licensed premises. Licensees may only take telephone orders for alcohol when the store is open to the general public. (Rule 27 CCR) Criminal: None ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 158
ABC-608 (5/04) 935. Retail-to-Retail Sales Retail licensees may not purchase alcohol for resale from another retail licensee. Licensees must purchase alcohol for resale from a non-retail licensee only. Warehouse-type discount stores are licensed retailers, and they cannot sell alcohol for resale to other retailers. For example, a retail licensed store may not sell to the bar down the street who has run out of a certain brand of liquor. It would be illegal for both the store and the bar to do so. The borrowing of alcohol between retail licensees is an illegal, retail-to-retail sale. Exception: A licensee who has three or more outlets licensed exactly the same may transfer products between that licensee’s stores. Also, type 21 licensees may sell distilled spirits for resale to the holder of a Daily On-Sale General license. (Sec. 23402 B&P) Criminal: The penalty is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in county jail. (Secs. 25351 and 25617 B&P) ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 36. Returns by Consumers to Retailers Returns of all types of alcoholic beverages by consumers to sellers were once ruled to be illegal under both State and federal law. In 1961, the Federal Government approved the return by consumers of alcoholic beverages which were spoiled, deteriorated, contaminated, or otherwise unfit for human consumption. This approval was made on the condition that there would be a bottle-for-bottle exchange or cash refund for the unsatisfactory merchandise. It was necessary for a consumer to bring back a partially emptied bottle or a bottle which clearly showed deterioration of the product, such as sediment, to qualify for the refund. The Department adopted the federal policy that same year. Later, the Department modified its approval to the extent that other types of alcoholic beverages could he exchanged for those which were unfit for human consumption. A consumer may also make an exchange or receive a refund on an item purchased in error if the unopened container is returned to the seller. The advertising of "money-back guarantees" is specifically disapproved, however. A consumer cannot overbuy for a party and then return any of the unused alcoholic beverages. Neither can the recipient of a gift exchange it for other merchandise or be given a credit, because the recipient is not returning alcoholic beverages; if the retailer gave anything of value for the beverages, the retailer would be buying from other than a wholesaler. Sales to consumers are final except as previously set forth. The Department and federal law agree in this respect. (Sec. 25600(a)(2)) ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 37. Right to Refuse Service to Minors Licensees and their employees have the legal right to refuse service to anyone who cannot show adequate written evidence of age. A licensee or employee may seize any identification presented by a person that shows the person to be under the age of 21 years or that is false, so long as a receipt is given to the person from whom the identification is seized and the seized identification is given within 24 hours of seizure to the local law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over the licensed premises. A licensee, his or her agent or employee’s decision to not seize a license shall not create any civil or criminal liability. (Sec. 25659 B&P) Not applicable. This is a permissive section of law. 159
ABC-608 (5/04) 1038. Signs Bars and taverns (License Types 42, 48, and 61) must post signs reading, “No Person Under 21 Allowed.” Licensees must post one at or near each public entrance, visible from the exterior, and one inside in a prominent place. The signs must be at least 7” x 11” and have lettering at least 1” in height. (Rule 107 CCR)1 No more than 33% of the square footage of the windows and clear doors of an off-sale premises may have advertising or signs of any sort. (Sec. 25612.5(c)(7) B&P)2 Stores (license Types 20 and 21) must post one or more customer warning signs in the store (see form ABC-299 for wording). (Sec. 25658.4 B&P)2 Upon written notice from the ABC, licensees must post “No Loitering” and “No Open Container” signs. Exception: This law does not apply to restaurants (license Types 41 and 47), convention centers, exhibit halls, auditoriums, ballparks, stadiums, coliseums, hotels, motels, a certain marine park, wineries, or beer manufacturers. (Sec. 25612.5(c)(1)(2) B&P)2 Signs may not be obnoxious, gaudy, blatant, or offensive, and must not obstruct the view of the interior of the premises from the street. (Sec. 25612 B&P)2 All on- and off-sale licensees must post warning signs reading, “Warning: Drinking spirits, beer, coolers, wine, and other alcoholic beverages may increase cancer risk and, during pregnancy, can cause birth defects.” (Sec. 12601(b)(1)(D)(1) and 12601(b)(4)(E) CCR)3 1Criminal: None ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 2Criminal: The penalty is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in county jail.

Judgments are a maximum of $2,500 per day per violation, with 25% of the sum going to the plaintiff. Civil penalties do not apply to the retail licensee. (Sec. 12601 CCR) 39. Substitution of Brands No person may substitute types or brands of alcohol without first informing the purchaser. (Sec. 25609 B&P) Criminal: For the licensee or employee, the penalty is a maximum $1,000 and/or six months in county jail. (Sec. 25617 B&P) ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 40. Undisclosed Ownership; Changes in Ownership The ABC license must reflect the true ownership of the licensed business. There can be no hidden owners or silent partners. Licensees must report any and all ownership changes to the ABC. (Secs. 23300 and 23355 B&P; Rule 68.5 CCR) Criminal: The penalty is a maximum $1,000 fine and/or six months in county jail. (Sec. 25617 B&P) ABC: Decided on a case-by-case basis 41. Unlawful Possession on Licensed Premises Licensees may not allow any alcohol on the premises other than what they are licensed to sell.

RBS Best Practices
Guidelines:
The suggestions provided below are considered best practices as based on published
research conducted by experts in the field of server training. It is recommended that
stated educational goals for all programs include those focusing on:
Improved public health and safety
Establishment of a higher professional standard for hospitality services
Improved business viability of responsible establishments
Increased ‘quality of life’ in the neighboring community
In the development of an RBS Training curriculum, it is suggested that the following
topics be included:
Laws, Policies, Rules and Regulations
Technical Information: Health, Safety and Community Impact
Server Responsibilities
Establishment Policies
Methods of Supervision of Servers or Sellers
An RBS provider may choose to implement specialized programs to best fit the needs of
its student base. A suggested ‘Levels of Training’ breakdown is as follows:
Level One – Special Events Servers
Individuals involved in direct service of alcoholic beverages for temporary or special
occasion events such as fairs, festivals and other occasions where a one-day permit or
temporary license is issued. (One to two hours instruction time recommended).
Level Two – Professional Servers
Individuals involved in direct service or sales of alcoholic beverages, including cashiers,
servers, bartenders, doormen, bouncers, etc., within a licensed establishment (either on-
or off-sale). The employment status of these individuals may be part-time, full-time,
temporary, or permanent. (Three to four hours instruction time recommended).
Level Three – Supervisors/Managers of Servers
Individuals employed by licensed premises with the responsibility of supervising or
managing sellers or servers of alcoholic beverages to the public. (Four hours instruction
time recommended).
Based on student needs and time allotment, subject matter and learning objectives will
vary among different levels of training provided. Recommended topics and objectives

TO: Ken Robertson, Director
FROM: Justin Edson, Code Enforcement Officer
DATE: March 6, 2017
SUBJECT: Operation Plan for Code Enforcement
The Code Enforcement Unit consists of two Code Enforcement Officers that work a full-time
schedule and a Fire Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer that report to the Building/Code
Enforcement Official. Per AB2228 the two Code Enforcement Officers are certified by the
California Association of Code Enforcement Officers which requires 120 hours of training and 48
hours of continued training every three years to maintain certification. The Code Enforcement
Officers and Fire Inspector have P.C. 832 Laws of Arrest training in order to issue citations for
violations.
Code Enforcement Officers are responsible for many aspects of the Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code, California Building Code, California Health & Safety Code, and California Professions
Code. Code Enforcement Officers are also trained to enforce specific California Fish and Wildlife
violations on the pier. Since 2016, Code Enforcement has also been assigned to enforce the
smoking prohibition in public through friendly encounters and citations.
In this document I have outlined the standard operating plan that Code Enforcement Officers
will refer to during normal shifts. This includes a proactive monitoring and enforcement of
conditional use permits and smoking throughout the City. In addition to these items, Code
Enforcement continues to follow-up with residents and businesses regarding zoning and
building violations. Other tasks assigned to Code Enforcement include: investigating short-term
vacation rentals, property nuisances, construction without permits, afterhours construction,
sign abatement, and trash can enforcement. Code Enforcement Officers investigate complaints
and respond to the reporting party in a timely manner to ensure superb customer service.
Officers check their emails and voicemails during every shift. The goal of the Code Enforcement
Unit is to achieve compliance through outreach and other enforcement methods.
We encourage residents and businesses to stop by the Community Development Department
during normal business hours or call our direct office line at 310-318-0234 to file a complaint or
inquire about Code Enforcement related questions.
Respectfully,
Justin Edson

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 24, 2017
PROGRESS REPORT ON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP)
ENFORCEMENT AND UPDATE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
“LATE NIGHT ACTION PLAN”
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommendation:
Continue to review implementation of the Late Night Action Plan, and direct staff to work with the
newly created Council subcommittee/task force to refine the plan and develop additional strategies
and actions. Several recommended enhancements are either pending or in progress, and listed at
the end of the report.
Background:
The Late Night Action Plan was developed in 2012 and revised in 2013 to build on ongoing efforts to
reduce adverse impacts associated with late-night alcohol serving establishments and to improve the
overall atmosphere on Pier Plaza and Downtown. The last progress report was provided to Council in
April 2014. Attached are the earlier reports for historic context.
This progress report and update are provided pursuant to the Strategic Plan Goal of a Commitment
to a Safe Community and, “Late Night Action Plan: Update Reports,” is a 2016 action item, identified
for an update in November 2016. “Code Enforcement” is identified as an “other priority” in the 2016
Policy Agenda. An important and related action item is “Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design” - an initiative to improve the design, lighting, cleanliness and overall landscape of key areas -
which has been proven elsewhere to be a significant contributor to shaping/correcting local
behaviors. This will be explored further in future agenda items and budget discussions.
The Strategic Plan “other priority” of Code Enforcement will be the general topic for the March 22,
2017 study session. We anticipate this to be a broader code enforcement discussion related to
policy, service priorities, and actions primarily related to the Strategic Plan Goal of “More Livable,
Sustainable, Beach City” and identified action items such as short term vacation rentals, smoking,
construction activities, encroachments, commercial use of the beach, etc.
Also, it is important to note the newly created subcommittee/task force the includes two
councilmembers has already initiated meetings with the objective of evaluating and implementing
additional strategies to improve the overall atmosphere and safety of Downtown with a focus on Pier
Plaza

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0067
Staffing challenges within the Police Department due to retirements and temporary restricted duties
due to medical conditions and injuries has been addressed by temporarily adding uniformed security
guards in the downtown area on weekends. The guards are instructed to maintain high visibility in the
parking lots and structure and to maintain crowd control as needed when officers are involved in
enforcement activities. The added uniformed presence has reduced some of the loitering and kept
people from congregating in large groups behind some of the businesses.
This supplemental security presence is being evaluated to determine its value long term. The police
department will include this issue as part of the budget discussion in coming months.
Analysis:
This analysis provides a code enforcement progress report specific to late night establishments,
followed by an update on each action item identified in the Late Night Action Plan, and a list of
enhancements that are pending or in progress
CODE ENFORCEMENT PROGRESS REPORT
In accordance with our Strategic Plan, City staff has formally established a CUP and late night
enforcement team, which is a collaboration of the Police, Community Development, Fire, Public
Works and City Manager Departments. This team meets regularly and has initiated enhanced,
proactive code enforcement on weekends and nighttime throughout the week. Further, we have
engaged and continue to meet with the local business community to advance these efforts through
meetings with the Chamber of Commerce and the Hospitality Association.
The City has budgeted for one and a half additional code enforcement officers in the Community
Development Department for a total of two and a half (currently the temporary full-time position is
unfilled). The officers, in addition to providing needed support to cover a variety of Building and
Safety and Zoning enforcement issues, have been working Tuesday through Sunday nights to focus
on Conditional Use Permit (CUP) compliance within the premises of various establishments, as well
as exterior code compliance issues such as washing mats or placing furniture outside. The Fire
Department also recently hired a Fire Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer, with daytime hours which
will support code enforcement efforts.
Police officers will continue their presence in the Downtown and environs, as well as conducting
random checks of alcohol serving establishments which includes observing occupant loads within the
establishments and contacting the Fire Department if needed. The City is also co-hosting a series of
Responsible Beverage Service training classes with Behavioral Health Services, which have already
been well attended by many of the Downtown on-sale servers and managers. The Police Chief
reports that collaborative meetings are occurring regularly with good response from the businesses.
Code Enforcement Officers also communicate directly with on-site management and their private
security personnel to establish working relationships to keep all personnel educated and informed,
with the goal of achieving compliance and preventing problems before they occur.
The Planning Commission is continuing the practice of six-month reviews of CUPs in accordance
with the City’s adopted policy for semi-annul reviews. While violations and incidents were reported in
the last review, no businesses were found to have exceeded the criteria established in the policy.

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0067
The Commission recently formed a subcommittee to evaluate the effectiveness of the reviews and to
evaluate whether any further reforms or improvements can be made to achieve Council’s goals. The
next six-month review is scheduled for the February and March meetings.
LATE NIGHT ACTION PLAN UPDATE
The 23 actions items set forth in the Late Night Action Plan (established in 2013) are addressed
below. The last update was provided in April 2014. Staff continues to strategically and proactively
enforce codes and CUPs related to late night establishments. We also continue to work with the
property owners, businesses and community members to foster a collective approach towards
meeting Council goals.
1. Implement sound economic development efforts to strengthen the economy and reduce
adverse late night activities.The City’s Economic Development efforts have been reassigned to
the Assistant to the City Manager, who administers several other Council priorities. That said, we
continue to assess, plan and implement actions to improve city/business relations and support and
strengthen the economic climate. Over the past year, such efforts have included (but are not limited
to): enhancing the City’s Economic Development web resources and digital marketing presence;
improving customer service and business recruitment/retention efforts through the City’s
ombudsman; implementing the City’s Homeless Strategy and Action Plan through various local
partnerships; and supporting/facilitating key projects through improved collaboration between the City
Manager’s office and Community Development department. Should the Council have renewed
interest in implementing some of the recommendations in the Downtown Core Revitalization
Strategy, this will also advance some of these efforts.
2. Encourage mid-day and early-evening success.In 2014, staff worked closely with the
Chamber of Commerce and local business owners to develop a marketing plan in order to encourage
more daytime activities in the Downtown with mixed success. Additionally, a three-month-long Pilot
Parking Program was implemented which featured free limited parking during peak daytime hours
throughout downtown commercial zones. Since then, the City has offered extended free holiday
parking programs to encourage and facilitate downtown patronage, has supported marketing efforts
of these and similar promotional campaigns, and approved phases 1 and 2 of the City’s
comprehensive parking meter technology overhaul. The City’s Downtown Core Revitalization
Strategy also identifies strategies to create a downtown that is people and business friendly during
the daytime and early evening, extending into the later evening. One outcome of this effort has been
the establishment of the Wednesday Farmers Market on Pier Plaza.
3. Create a funding plan for sustained implementation of the Late Night Establishment plan.
The City has added Code Enforcement staff and modified deployment of resources to more
effectively implement this plan and the financial resources to support this effort and recommended
enhancements will be included in budget discussions.
4. Development of a communication plan regarding late night activities in Hermosa Beach.A
broad outreach effort occurred when this plan was first launched. More recently, in 2015 and 2016,
Code Enforcement distributed information directly to all downtown businesses to update them on new
regulations (regarding encroachments and managing lines) and as a general reminder on CUP
requirements and other long-standing rules and regulations.

Staff Report
REPORT 17-0067
On November 16, 2016 the City Manager, Police Chief and Police Management met with the
Hospitality Association to discuss recent events and how the businesses can work with the City to
improve the Downtown atmosphere. The Police Chief and Hospitality Association discussed how to
reduce crime through environmental design and enhanced enforcement. Staff is continuing to work
with the Public Information Officer to improve communications and outreach.
A significant example of success with advance communication efforts was the collaborative effort to
successfully manage the impacts associated with July 4th activity. Enhanced safety and security has
continued over the July 4th holiday weekend for the last three years due to our partnerships and
planning efforts with Downtown businesses. New initiatives such as the broader citywide smoking
and plastic bag bans, , and managing encroachment ande lines on the Plaza were also launched
using this approach.
5. Encourage inter-establishment coordination. Staff has continued to meet periodically with the
Hospitality Association to foster communication and trust and develop solutions to issues addressed
in the Late Night Action Plan, which will ensure the continued success of local establishments and
improve overall safety. The City is participating and assisting in the Behavioral Health Services
Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training workshops which are promoted by the Hospitality
Association. These workshops focus on health and safety practices and the obligations and
responsibilities of employees serving alcohol. In 2016, 3 RBS workshops were conducted. In
January Hermosa Beach hosted an RBS workshop which had 107 attendees from various
businesses. There are two more RBS workshops scheduled for 2017 and more will be added if
needed.
6. Encourage programs to communicate taxi or ride home programs. Staff has worked with the
Hospitality Association to help them with programs to disseminate information to their patrons. Given
the rise of ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft, the City will also be considering how to
incorporate ridesharing options into such programs.
7. Active involvement by City executives. The City Manager and department heads are actively
involved in organizing, deploying resources effectively, implementing and monitoring progress with
regard to this Action Plan. The newly established Downtown subcommittee/task force has had initial
meetings which directly involve the City Attorney and management staff. This group has begun
evaluating strategies for improving the downtown atmosphere, with specific focus on potential
improvements during evening and late night hours.
8. Increase engagement with landlords. A letter was mailed to both business and property
owners, informing them of the enhanced enforcement efforts being implemented by the City. A list of
the most common code violations was provided along with a reminder of their obligations under their
CUP’s.Property owners are now included in notifications or discussions with business owners when
violations or problems occur.
9. Assess deployment of police resources to match call volumes.The Police Department
deploys extra police officers in the Downtown area on Friday and Saturday nights, events and
holidays when call volumes are at their peak. Due to staffing levels, these police officer positions are
Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/19/2017Page 4 of 9
powered by Legistar™185
Staff Report
REPORT 17-0067
filled on an overtime basis. The deployment mirrors the large crowds and higher call volume in the
Downtown area on weekends. As soon as staffing levels allow, a dedicated downtown foot beat
detail will be assigned to provide a long term coordinated approach to resolving the problems
associated with the Downtown area.
10. Evaluate shift scheduling and overtime policies.Staff continues to evaluate scheduling of
shifts to match call volumes and peak time. Currently overtime is used strategically to supplement
staffing to cover vacancies.
11. Evaluate use of Community Service Officers (CSOs) to assist with taxi, no smoking and
lewdness violations in the Plaza. On Friday and Saturday nights, one CSO is scheduled to work
until 2:30am and has primary responsibilities for taxi enforcement. Taxi enforcement includes
monitoring the taxi only lines for bandit cab activity, Uber, Lyft and citizen taxi zone drop locations.
The CSO also enforces parking violations, and confirms that the taxi starter is on duty as required,
and that an adequate number of taxis are available to meet demand. During the 2016 calendar year
1,658 taxi zone related citations were issued. Those citations represent Uber, Lyft and citizen
violations. Bandit taxi stings are conducted quarterly.
The CSO with taxi enforcement responsibilities may also issue citations for open containers, public
urination and smoking violations. CSOs are scheduled to attend additional training in 2017 to
enhance the enforcement of these types of violations. The Community Services Division will
continue to work with Uber and Lyft to find safe and efficient methods to facilitate passenger drop off
and pick up.
A community outreach campaign was initiated in the spring of 2016 aimed at educating the City’s
downtown businesses and general public about the existing smoking ban on Pier Plaza and key City-
owned public spaces. In addition, Code Enforcement began aggressively enforcing the ban through
warnings and citations. As a result, compliance with the smoking ban on the Plaza was increasing,
with the vast majority of patrons obeying the ban and smoking in the identified legal areas. The
smoking ban has now been substantially broadened, eliminating legal smoking zones and virtually all
of the City’s cigarette butt receptacles. As active enforcement is only one component to ensuring
consistent and long-term compliance, the City is in the process of expanding smoking signage and
refreshing educational materials across various mediums.
12. Maximize partnership opportunities with other law enforcement agencies and prosecutor.
The Police Department has partnered with numerous agencies including Manhattan Beach and El
Segundo Police Departments via an ABC grant targeting underage drinking including decoy
operations, and conducting a DUI checkpoint. The City Prosecutor continues to take an aggressive
position regarding the filing and conviction of misdemeanor violations.
13. Increase proactive policing in public areas and neighborhoods.The Police Department is
continuing to refine its deployment and tracking systems to ensure problem areas are identified and
targeted. In 2016 the Police Department implemented the Community Oriented Check program.
The purpose of the program is to encourage officers to engage in non-enforcement conversations
with residents and the business community. In 2016, officers of the Police Department contacted at
least one resident or business on every block in over 95% of the city. The partnership we are
Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/19/2017Page 5 of 9
powered by Legistar™186
Staff Report
REPORT 17-0067
continuing to foster with the residents and business community will allow us to continue to improve
the overall safety in our Downtown public areas as well.
14. Enforcement activities: Continued, consistent, fair and timely CUP enforcement.
Continued, consistent, fair and timely CUP enforcement is provided in the field by Code Enforcement,
which we now have deployed almost every late night. As stated, an important component is
continuity and adequacy of staff resources (currently there is a temporary shortage, so weeknights
are not being covered). Staff is also proactively conducting staff enforcement team meetings to
identify issues and solutions and ensure activity is coordinated.
The Council’s adoption of the “Process for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use
Permits” in 2011 (updated 2014)instituted a semi-annual review of CUPs and threshold-based
system using an established set of criteria for identifying on-sale establishments that appear to be
creating adverse impacts as a basis for possible Planning Commission review. The analysis of the
data corresponding to the criteria is performed administratively by staff and includes a tally of all
violations and also includes incidents that are indicative of poor management or lack of adequate
security as determined by the Police Department. The policy provides a timely, equitable, and
consistent and fact based system. As noted, the effectiveness of this process is being reviewed by a
Planning Commission subcommittee for possible recommendations for reforms, expected this spring.
15. Conduct three to five bar checks every Friday and Saturday night. Police, CSO and Code
Enforcement staff are conducting enforcement activities during early and late night hours. In 2016,
the Police Department conducted 376 bar checks. Code Enforcement checks Downtown
establishments and other outlying establishments several times per night on the weekends. Fire
Department personnel occasionally drive through the downtown area after emergency response. If a
problem is observed the Firefighters will stop and discuss security personnel about resolving
problems or violations.
16. Schedule regular and frequent DUI checkpoints around perimeter of Hermosa Beach.The
Police Department has partnered with the Manhattan Beach Police Department and other local
agencies in conducting DUI checkpoints in our city. A checkpoint was conducted on April 30, 2016 at
Artesia Blvd. just east of Pacific Coast Highway resulting in 11 DUI arrests, 1 warrant arrest and 8
misdemeanor citations. The most recent DUI checkpoint was conducted on January 14, 2017. Due
to the large number of officers required to conduct a successful DUI checkpoint, we will continue to
conduct them in conjunction with neighboring agencies.
17. Evaluate occupant load calculations, monitoring and enforcement.The Fire Marshal and
the Building Official carefully review and approve occupant load plans, and check for compliance in
the establishment before assigning the final occupant load. Occupant loads have now been issued
for all on-sale establishments and signs are posted. Strict limitations on any intensification of
assigned occupant loads for late night establishments have been codified as part of the code
amendments relating to “Late-night alcohol beverage establishments”, Section 17.40.080(B) of the
Municipal Code.
Code Enforcement staff routinely checks for apparent overcrowding, as do the Police when doing bar
checks. The Fire Department is notified if an establishment appears over-occupied and will be

dispatched to evaluate and conduct a count out if necessary. The establishments have become well
aware of the implications of an over-crowding citation, and have improved their internal management
of occupants.
18. Evaluate and modify private security plans for establishments.The Police Department has
requested and received security plans from the establishments. The plans vary widely in content,
scope and detail and some simply do not exist. The Police Department will work in conjunction with
the Fire Department and Code Enforcement to produce an outline of a proper security plan and
request the establishments modify their current plans to meet those standards or produce conforming
plans if they were previously nonexistent.
The Police Chief has met with the owners/managers of the restaurants/ bars and discussed their
security plans. The Chief emphasized the importance of each business contacting the Police
Department when an incident occurs so we can assist and keep it from escalating.
19. Undertake a comprehensive review of Downtown CUP’s (use, floor plan, hours, etc.).The
Code Enforcement Officer has inspected the floor plans for all the Downtown establishments and
compared them to the actual furniture set ups. The Code Enforcement Officer has copies of the
CUPs and floor plans to check compliance with all aspects of the CUP, including checking the
exterior for removal of furniture, washing mats outside, dumping liquids behind establishment, etc.
With the addition of another Code Enforcement Officer the CSO will focus more attention related to
parking and taxi enforcement and Code Enforcement Officers will focus more predominately on CUP
issues.
20. Audit 50/50 and 65/35 food to alcohol ratio requirements of the Municipal Code and CUP’s
for restaurants. The City has modified the Municipal Code and no longer defines or requires
restaurant to have a proportion of food sales. Therefore, we also discontinued audits of restaurants
with on-sale general restaurants open after 12:00 midnight that are required to report ratios to the
City quarterly.
Four establishments with specific requirements in their CUPs are still required to provide reporting.
All on-sale restaurants are still required to keep records of their proportion of food to alcohol sales,
which can then be used as part of the City’s review of an establishment if adverse impacts or
problems have resulted in a review of their CUP, as set forth in Sections 17.40.080(C) and 17.70.010
(H) of the Municipal Code.
21. Explore Concept of Districts. Staff will continue to explore various forms of Business
Improvement Districts (BIDs).
Funds from BID assessments could be used to implement the Late Night Action Plan, security
measures, or area maintenance if the stakeholders elect to include these strategies in the required
BID management plan. A feasibility study would be required in order to assess which form would be
successful.
22. Enforce or revise ordinance that requires downtown establishment doors and windows to
be closed.Code Enforcement Officers diligently patrol to ensure that windows and doors are closed

when amplified music is played in the Downtown establishments. Violations of either provision in the
CUPs or City ordinances will result in citations.
23. Regulate establishments in connection with special events.City staff ensures that any
special events scheduled obtain special event approval. The Police, Fire Community Development,
Public Works and Community Resources Departments work closely together to provide the proper
guidance for major special events held in the City. Also, Community Development now coordinates
the review and issuance of “temporary minor special events” on private commercial properties to
ensure compliance with Section 17.42.150 of the Municipal Code adopted in 2013.

Process and Standards for Review of On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage Conditional Use Permits
1) The CUP review process will consist of an “ongoing” or “rolling” administrative review process in which an established
set of criteria would be evaluated semi-annually.
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 on a semi-annually (twice a year) basis. 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.
