Hi-Fi Espresso will be a coffee shop/snack bar that sells pre-prepared snacks, coffee, tea, and other non-alcoholic beverages, along with a small variety of ﬁne retail goods. The intent of the business and of the layout of the space is to encourage a quick through-put of customers. This is reinforced via: • Customers will order and receive their purchases at the counter; no table service will be provided • Food items available will be snack oriented only; no full meals will be served • Seating is relatively limited (</= 25 seats) • The relatively small square footage of the space itself (<600 s.f.) • There will be no kitchen or food preparation on premises It is imagined that the main users of the coffee shop/snack bar will be those in the neighborhood that stop in on their way to or from their homes; workers in businesses nearby; and those stopping nearby to use neighboring businesses and then “grab a coffee” or a snack before they leave the area again. Hi-Fi Espresso will not be marketing itself as a destination. Rather, it will serve the existing ﬂow of clientele to the area. Hi-Fi Espresso 227 Paciﬁc Coast Highway Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 hiﬁespresso.com Short Business Narrative September 9, 2016 ATTN: City of Hermosa Beach Community Development Department, Planning Commission Hi-Fi Espresso is seeking determination of a new coffee and retail establishment as a snack shop at 227 Paciﬁc Coast Highway, between 2nd and 3rd Street. Hi- Fi requests that the establishment be classiﬁed as a “snack shop” and calculate required parking spaces based on retail standard, due to its proposed use and location. Hi-Fi proposes to serve a full menu of coffee drinks, non-alcoholic beverages such as bottled waters, sodas, and juices, along with an assortment of delicious pastries — pre-prepared off-site — including croissants, cookies, brownies, donuts, and pre-packaged yogurts. The cold beverages will be offered in a small stand-alone refrigerator, where customers can choose themselves and take to the counter to purchase, while the baked goods will be found inside of covered cake plates (i.e. display cases), on top of the L-shaped counter. Inside the commercial space, Hi-Fi uses an L-shaped counter to separate the employee area from the customer and retail area. Approximately 430 square feet of customer area is in front of the L-shaped counter. Here, the business will provide at least 16 seats (not to exceed 25), 4 tables, and 1 counter by the front (east-facing) window, as noted on the submitted plans. Customers will place and pick up orders at the counter. No wait-staff service will be provided, and the business anticipates wait time for any products from the menu to be less than 5 minutes. Directly across from the L-shaped counter will be a shelving unit displaying a small assortment of ﬁne retail goods, such as bags of coffee beans, coffee ceramics, organic pastry spreads and nut butters, ﬁne fragrances and soaps, specialty candles, cool travel guides, small potted succulent plants, patterned beach towels, and books on design, architecture and surﬁng. This customer area will provide an ADA-accessible restroom. of 1 3 Hi-Fi Espresso 227 Paciﬁc Coast Highway Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 hiﬁespresso.com Business Narrative September 9, 2016 On top of the L-shaped counter will be an espresso machine. Behind the counter, against the wall, will be a coffee brewer, coffee grinder, espresso grinder, hot water delivery system, urn and server, and toaster oven, used only for the purpose of warming the baked goods pre-made off-site. Underneath the counters will be a small refrigerator, small ice maker, and cabinets for storage. In the open washroom area will be a wash sink opposite a small dishwasher, both used only for the purpose of washing and cleaning coffee mugs, saucers, and small plates. Outside the commercial space, Hi-Fi intends to provide minimal seating, per Section 17.26.040 of the C-3 general commercial zone. The limited outdoor dining at the rear of the building is to be shared between all four tenants. The request for limited outdoor dining will be processed via a separate application for an Administrative Permit, as required pursuant to Chapter 17.55 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), to be approved by the Community Development Department. With this property being zoned Speciﬁc Plan Area 7, Hi-Fi speciﬁcally requests the ability to provide up to 6 total seats (which includes the 2 seats offered by the pre-existing built-in bench) and 2 small bistro tables on the outdoor (west-facing) back patio. The 4 small patio chairs will be no bigger than 24”x18”. In compliance, Hi-Fi will leave a walkway of 4 feet through the patio space and not only promises to abide by all Standards and Limitations, as outlined in Section 17.26.050(B)(6) of the HBMC, but also promises to share this outdoor space equally with its neighboring commercial tenants. The applicants understand that an approval of the Parking Plan by the Planning Commission is not an approval of limited outdoor dining. Hi-Fi requests the retail parking standard of one parking space per 250 square feet be applied to the proposed business on the basis that the use will be conducted consistent with the deﬁnition of a “snack bar or snack shop” in Section 17.04.050 Commercial Land Use Deﬁnitions. Also, the products that Hi-Fi will offer are identiﬁed in the deﬁnition of snack bar/snack shop and do not constitute a meal. Hi-Fi’s kitchen equipment is limited — it will not require a grease control interceptor nor a kitchen hood — and is therefore not conducive to preparing full meals. Hi-Fi is not providing waiter/waitress table service and will not offer alcoholic beverages. Given the limited characteristics of the proposed use including its limited service area and lack of seating, Hi-Fi will not result in an intensiﬁcation of use or create additional parking demand. of 2 3 The proposed business hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Sunday. Two business owners and two employees will be stafﬁng the business per 5-to-8 hour shifts. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to serving the “highest ﬁdelity” in both coffee and ﬁne goods to our friends and neighbors in Hermosa Beach, the warm town we have proudly called home since 2005.

Community is our mission. And coolness is our hope. We are Hi-Fi. Proudly serving the “highest quality ﬁdelity” in coffee. Please enjoy. The Name With Karen’s impeccable sense of style stemming from the 1970s and with Jeff’s favorite ﬁlm being “Boogie Nights”, one catchphrase from that period stands above the rest: “Hi-Fi”. As Don Cheadle’s salesman character humorously tries to explain, “High ﬁdelity. You know what that means? That means this is the highest quality ﬁdelity. Hi-Fi. Those are two very important things to have in a stereo system.” The Goals and Objectives Hi-Fi… Those are also two very important things to have in coffee, which is why we aim to bring the highest quality coffee bean to the South Bay. Our very ﬁrst date was spent with connoisseur Karen introducing Jeff to her love of quality coffee. The only problem? We had to drive into Venice to ﬁnd it. Five years on and we ﬁnd ourselves with the same South Bay void: sure, there are plenty of big chain coffee shops and even smaller coffee houses, but do they serve the best bean from a top roaster? And does any of the interior design inspire discussion and creative thoughts? For us, the answer is no. And for locals, Hi-Fi Espresso will not only offer the best coffee but also an inspiring place to gather, create and collaborate. Within our colorful “Seventies Surfer” vibe space, you will be sure to meet new people, make new friends, and purchase an assortment of ﬁne goods, gifts and supplies. hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !3 HI-FI ESPRESSO The Products Currently, we are leaning towards partnering with an extraordinary and well-respected coffee roaster in Durham, NC, called Counter Culture Coffee. We ﬁrst fell in love with their brand and product during our time in New York City. Like us, Counter Culture believes in the relentless pursuit of coffee perfection and is dedicated to fair trade as well as environmental, social and ﬁscal sustainability. In addition to selling amazing cups of coffee and tea and individual bags of beans, we will also offer delicious pastries prepared off-site, including butter and chocolate croissants, chocolate chip cookies, and donuts. Moreover, we will have Kombucha on tap and a refrigerator full of quality waters, juices, root beers, and organic yogurts. Furthermore, our shelves will be lined with incredible retail products, including coffee ceramics, Chemex coffeemakers, organic pastry spreads and nut butters, potted succulent plants, patterned beach towels, cool travel guides, surf wax, surf grass, and various books on design, architecture and of course surﬁng. The Customer Our hope is to attract surfers after their morning ride, professionals on their morning commute, creative types with a work deadline, and everyone in between. After all, we offer “Free Hi-Fi” — as our neon window sign will read, and all ages are welcome. As previously mentioned, South Bay residents are becoming hip to the growing coffee culture trend. More and more people, not just millennials, are working from home and/or from their local coffee bar. The Marketing Strategy We plan to advertise in The Beach Reporter, Easy Reader, and South Bay Magazine. But as with most successful startups today, word of mouth and social media are key towards business growth. You can already ﬁnd us on Twitter and Instagram. Luckily for us, we have years of experience in selling product — Karen in hair, Jeff in ﬁlm. We will offer incentives, such as buy-nine-get-your-tenth-free punch cards. The Marketing Analysis Hermosa Beach possesses a number of coffee shops, such as the big chains of Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Peet’s. Other nearby coffee shops include Gum Tree Cafe, Java Man, The Source Cafe, and Two Guns. While these are great coffee options, we will choose a location well-spaced between our competitors. And we are certain that our fantastic product and strong sense of community are unlike any other in the area. This will set Hi-Fi Espresso apart. We are not a coffee shop. We are an espresso bar. There is a distinct difference in how we approach and serve our product. Coffee aﬁcionados will immediately recognize this difference, and the average coffee drinker will quickly come to cherish it. hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !4 HI-FI ESPRESSO The Hours and Launch Initially, Hi-Fi Espresso will be open from 7AM to 5PM, seven days a week. We aim to open our doors four to six weeks after moving into the space. The Staffing One of us, either Karen or Jeff, will always be on duty in the shop. After all, we love the smell of coffee, we believe strongly in our brand, and we value quality conversation with our customers and neighbors. And who better to sell the passion behind the brand than the owners. At the outset, we will employ two well-trained and highly-skilled baristas to split shifts. Counter Culture Coffee promises to guide us every step of the way, as we open this, our ﬁrst location. The Pricing In line with most high-end coffee purveyors, our price list will be as follows: Coffee ($2.50), Espresso ($3), Americano ($3) Macchiato ($3.50), Cappuccino ($3.75), Loose Leaf Tea ($3.75), Cold Brew ($4), Cortado ($4), Hot Chocolate ($4), Iced Tea ($4), Latte ($4.50), Matcha Green Tea ($5) Mocha ($5), Affogato ($6). Bags of beans will range in price ($9-18), while the pricing of our various goods will depend upon the product. The Expenses In addition to our custom build-out and sparse interior design furnishings, our primary upfront expenses will include: Fetco coffee brewer, Mahlkonig bulk coffee grinder, La Marzocco espresso machine, Mahlkonig espresso grinder, hot water delivery system, and urn and server. The Plan We plan to capitalize on our initial investment by slowly expanding our line of quality goods and one-of- a-kind speciality items for sale. But ﬁrst, our singular focus is on producing and offering the area’s best cup of coffee. With this intention, we are conﬁdent that our dedicated client base will steadily grow to a point where beverages and pastries alone will sustain the business. hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !5 HI-FI ESPRESSO The Drink Menu hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !6 HI-FI ESPRESSO COFFEE 2.5 ESPRESSO 3 AMERICANO 3 MACCHIATO 3.5 CAPPUCCINO 3.75 COLD BREW 4 CORTADO 4 HOT CHOCOLATE 4 LATTE 4.5 MATCHA GREEN TEA 5 MOCHA 5 AFFOGATO 6 TEA 3.75 ICED TEA 4 hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !7 HI-FI ESPRESSO hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !8 HI-FI ESPRESSO hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !9 HI-FI ESPRESSO hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !10 HI-FI ESPRESSO hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !11 HI-FI ESPRESSO hiﬁespresso.com | @hiﬁespresso !12 Thank You!

Separate permits required for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing and are not in the scope of these documents CS Cover Sheet + General Project Information 1.0 Site Plan + Floor Plan 2.0 Building Elevations 3.0 Topographic Survey SurveyScope of Work Hi-Fi Espresso is seeking determination of a new coffee and retail establishment as a snack shop at 227 Pacific Coast Highway, between 2nd and 3rd Street. Hi-Fi requests that the establishment be classified as a “snack shop” and calculate required parking spaces based on retail standard, due to its proposed use and location. Hi-Fi proposes to serve a full menu of coffee drinks, non-alcoholic beverages such as bottled waters, sodas, and juices, along with an assortment of delicious pastries — pre-prepared off-site — including croissants, cookies, brownies, donuts, and pre-packaged yogurts. The cold beverages will be offered in a small stand-alone refrigerator, where customers can choose themselves and take to the counter to purchase, while the baked goods will be found inside of covered cake plates (i.e. display cases), on top of the L-shaped counter. Inside the commercial space, Hi-Fi uses an L-shaped counter to separate the employee area from the customer and retail area. Approximately 430 square feet of customer area is in front of the L-shaped counter. Here, the business will provide at least 16 seats (not to exceed 25), 4 tables, and 1 counter by the front (east-facing) window, as noted on the submitted plans. Customers will place and pick up orders at the counter. No wait-staff service will be provided, and the business anticipates wait time for any products from the menu to be less than 5 minutes. Directly across from the L-shaped counter will be a shelving unit displaying a small assortment of fine retail goods, such as bags of coffee beans, coffee ceramics, organic pastry spreads and nut butters, fine fragrances and soaps, specialty candles, cool travel guides, small potted succulent plants, patterned beach towels, and books on design, architecture and surfing. This customer area will provide an ADA-accessible restroom. On top of the L-shaped counter will be an espresso machine. Behind the counter, against the wall, will be a coffee brewer, coffee grinder, espresso grinder, hot water delivery system, urn and server, and toaster oven, used only for the purpose of warming the baked goods pre-made off-site. Underneath the counters will be a small refrigerator, small ice maker, and cabinets for storage. In the open washroom area will be a wash sink opposite a small dishwasher, both used only for the purpose of washing and cleaning coffee mugs, saucers, and small plates. Outside the commercial space, Hi-Fi intends to provide minimal seating, per Section 17.26.040 of the C-3 general commercial zone and in compliance to provisions provided in Section 17.26.050(B)(6), to be shared between all tenants. This property being zoned Specific Plan Area 7, Hi-Fi specifically requests the ability to provide up to 6 total seats (which includes the 2 seats offered by the pre-existing built-in bench) and 2 small bistro tables on the outdoor (west-facing) back patio. The 4 small patio chairs will be no bigger than 24”x18”. In compliance, Hi-Fi will leave a walkway of 4 foot through the patio space and abide by all Standards and Limitations, as outlined in 17.26.050. Prior to the establishment of any limited outdoor seating area accessory to any food establishments on private property, an administrative permit shall be required pursuant to Chapter 17.55 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) and must be approved by the Community Development Department. This request for limited outdoor dining is not a part of this application, and approval of this Parking Plan does not include approval of the limited outdoor dining. Hi-Fi requests the retail parking standard of one parking space per 250 square feet be applied to the proposed business on the basis that the use will be conducted consistent with the definition of a “snack bar or snack shop” in Section 17.04.050 Commercial Land Use Definitions. Also, the products offered are identified in the definition of snack bar/snack shop and do not constitute a meal. Kitchen equipment is limited — it will not require a grease control interceptor nor a kitchen hood — and is therefore not conducive to preparing full meals. Hi-Fi is not providing waiter/waitress table service and will not offer alcoholic beverages. Given the limited characteristics of the proposed use including its limited service area and lack of seating, Hi-Fi will not result in an intensification of use or create additional parking demand. The proposed business hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Sunday. Two business owners and two employees will be staffing the business per 5-to-8 hour shifts.

We’ve been a community institution for the entire time Hermosa Beach has been a city, and for the 65 years we’ve been at our current site on Monterey Boulevard we’ve always worked to be good neighbors and offer our space for the betterment of the community. We rent space to Temple Shalom of the South Bay, a local Jewish Temple, and we host AA meetings almost every day for the public. Every month or so we host a memorial service for a community member, and we host a wide variety of meetings of public interest, from Beach Cities Health District Blue Zone meetings to South Coast Interfaith Council conversations. (One recent SCIC conversation had us invite two prominent Muslim speakers to talk with about 100 attendees about de-mystifying Islam.) We’ve even built a small doggy rest stop on our campus for people to curb their dogs for the good of the neighborhood. Since moving to this site in the early 50's, we've been an integral part of the neighborhood, and of the larger community. In all of our community hosting, we've noticed one problem: people often miss our entrance as they're driving by. Our existing sign is set back almost 15 feet from the sidewalk, and it's hard to see from more than 75 or so feet away because of various street signs and palm trees. (I’ve attached two pictures to this letter: Picture A shows the southbound approach from the stop sign at 19th, and Picture B shows the northbound approach from midway through our property.) Because of this, we’d like to replace our existing sign with a slightly-bigger sign, and we'd like to put that sign about three feet off the sidewalk. Replacing the sign allows us to make the sign look nicer (to match our church and the greater neighborhood), but most importantly it allows for much better visibility from the street. Most churches in Hermosa Beach (the Christian Science Church, for example, or Our Lady of Guadalupe) have clear signs a few feet back from the sidewalk, and we’d simply like to have the same signage in order to improve our visibility. We understand, now that we've done some research, that the 14 feet of our frontage closest to the street is actually a city right-of-way; it's a right-of-way St. Cross has been using for more than 60 years uninterrupted, but nonetheless it's a city right-of- way. We hope, however, that we can find some way to be reasonable about this. We're a historic community institution simply trying to allow people to find us more easily. We're very proud of our good relationship with the city, and if the city were ever to need the right-of-way to widen Monterey Boulevard, our sign could be removed in a manner of minutes. (A much larger problem is the 10' by 15' brick stairs that lead to our front door, two-thirds of which is in the city right-of-way!) Similarly, we look up and down Monterey and see various permanent walls and fences that present much larger issues than our proposed sign, should Monterey ever need to be widened. We even look down the street and see Abe's Liquor at Monterey and Pier, and see their business sign easily within three feet of the sidewalk. All this is to say that we find ourselves in a unique situation: we'd like to make our signage a little clearer, but doing so involves putting a sign on city property. We’re focused on improving our sign’s visibility, and on making it represent all that goes on at our campus, but we’re also committed to being good neighbors and members of the greater community. Would you, and the Planning Commission, consider granting us this unique exception? I can't thank you enough for all the hours you've spent reading and considering our project, particularly as it's gotten more and more complicated; I’m especially grateful for the cheerful, helpful manner you and your co-workers have had throughout all our discussions. In Peace, Greg+ The Rev. Greg Brown Associate Rector St. Cross Episcopal Church Picture A (Monterey Blvd. southbound, from the stop sign at 19th St. Notice the sign, circled in red, is half obscured by trees.)

CROSS EPISCOPAL CHURCH), LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS PORTION OF LOT 12, BLOCK 71, SECOND ADDITION; LOTS 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, P. McNERNEY’S REPLAT OF A PORTION OF LOT 12, BLOCK 71 OF 2ND ADDITION; LOTS 11, 12, 13 & 14, BLOCK 53, FIRST ADDITION; LOTS 19, 20 & 21, TRACT NO. 1129, BLOCK 53; LOTS 17 & 18, TRACT NO. 1128, BLOCK 53, HERMOSA BEACH. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application for a sign variance was filed by St. Cross Episcopal Church. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for sign variance (VAR 16-2) on September 20, 2016, at which time testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to a considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15311(a) on-premises signs. Section 4. Based on the Staff Reports, testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. The applicant proposes to replace an existing 22 square foot, six foot five inch high message board sign located in front of the church atop a 24 inch to 36 inch tall wall, oriented perpendicular to the street, with a 27 square foot, 6 foot 9 inch high ground sign to be located in the public right-of-way approximately two feet from the back of the sidewalk, south and adjacent to the brick wall which separates the parking lot from the front lawn and perpendicular to the street. 2. The subject property is zoned R-2 and is surrounded by R-1 and R-2 zoned lots and uses. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pursuant to H.B.M.C. Section 17.50.190: A. A variance authorized is not a grant of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity. The proposed sign will replace an existing sign used to identify the facility and thus assists in notifying the community of the events and community services at the facility. Other properties in the vicinity are restricted to residential uses and do not have the same needs for identification. Therefore, allowing 2 increased sign area for the institutional use in the form of a ground sign is not a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the other residential properties in the area. Residential lot frontages in the area are typically 34 to 50 feet, while the Church frontage is about 320 feet. A conforming sign of two square feet located on this property may not be as readily visible as would a conforming sized sign on a nearby much smaller residential lot. The maximum size of any type of sign in residential zones is 12 square feet per face for double-faced multi-family rental real estate signs. Ground signs are limited to four feet in height and wall signs are limited to eight feet in height. The proposed sign is 27 square feet (per face) and 6’9” in height above grade, standards both of which are slightly larger than the existing variance-approved bulletin board sign. While the proposed sign could be made more conforming to regulations that apply to multi-family residential buildings in residential zones by limiting size and height closer to 12 square feet per face and 4 feet in height, the previously variance approved 22 square feet (per face) sign has proven to be substantially in proportion with the parcel size and layout of the buildings and improvements on the subject property. Therefore, a minimal increase in size and height is anticipated to be proportional with the parcel size and building improvements. The proposed sign location within the public right-of-way would be a grant of special privilege as signs in the vicinity have not been granted approval to locate within the public right-of-way. B. Special conditions and extraordinary circumstances apply to the property and do not apply to the other properties in the vicinity so that the strict application of this chapter works a demonstrated hardship on the particular property. Sign Size and Type The property is split zoned R-2 and R-1, and churches are allowed in both residential zones subject to a conditional use permit; however, this particular church is legal nonconforming as it was constructed before Conditional Use Permits were required (1953) and does not have a Conditional Use Permit. Replacement of the sign with a conforming sign (i.e. no greater than two square feet), is impractical because institutional uses such as churches, synagogues, and temples are permitted to be located in local neighborhood residential areas they serve; however, the residential sign code does not make any distinction among uses in residential zones, particularly institutional uses such as the subject church use. Churches, synagogues, temples, and similar facilities allowed in residential zones typically occupy larger sites than the neighboring residential uses. In this case, the lot frontage (Monterey Blvd) is approximately 320 feet, versus 34 to 50 feet for residential uses in the same block. A sign conforming to residential sign standards (i.e. sign area and sign type) would be substantially out of scale with the physical dimensions of the property. Therefore, exceptional circumstances are applicable to the property involved and the proposed size (a double-faced 27 square foot (per face) urethane sign mounted on two poles with a total height of 6’9”) and sign type (ground sign) are reasonable. 3 Sign Location A hardship does not exist relative to sign location because there is a viable alternative which would allow for a slightly taller sign (6’9”) with increased sign area (27 square feet) and larger font sizes at the same location as the existing sign (approximately 15 feet from back of sidewalk). Almost the entire street frontage at the project site is limited to loading and unloading of passengers which allows greater sign visibility when events are not taking place. Therefore, the finding of exceptional circumstances does not apply to this property. C. The variance will not adversely affect public safety and the design and appearance of the signing and structures of the surrounding area. The proposed sign size is in scale with the size of the subject parcel and improvements on the site and will not impact line of sight or public safety; there are no other nearby signs. Its scale and location on a planter wall rather than the public right-of-way, would ensure that it will not be visually obtrusive. The closest adjacent property is owned by the Church; the sign location is several hundred feet from residential uses to the south, and the orientation of the sign if located on the planter wall, rather than the public right-of-way makes the sign less visible to the closest residence across the street. Given the neighborhood location, the sign illumination shall be static, external and oriented so that only the sign face is illuminated, with a low intensity light and automatically turned off between 10:00 p.m. and dawn. With these provisions, the sign will be adequately conditioned to prevent adverse impacts to public safety and the design and appearance of the signing and structures of the surrounding area. Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves in part sign Variance 16-2 as to sign size and type, subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The sign shall comply with and not exceed the sign area, height and other standards of the plan approved by the Planning Commission on September 20, 2016 with the exception of sign location in which the new identification ground sign be located entirely on private property and not project over public property. The new ground sign shall be located in the same general location as the existing sign, south and adjacent to the brick wall which separates the parking lot from the front lawn and perpendicular to the street. 2. A sign permit, and building and/or electrical permits as may be applicable, shall be obtained prior to erecting the sign or lighting. 3. Any illumination shall be static, external and oriented so that only the sign face is illuminated, automatically turned off between 10:00 p.m. and dawn, and low intensity subject to approved by the Community Development Director per H.B.M.C. Section 17.50.070. A.5. Section 6. This grant shall not be effective for any purposes until the permittee and the owners of the property involved have filed at the office of the Planning Division of the Community Development Department their affidavits stating that they are aware of, and agree to accept, all of the conditions of this Sign Variance. 4 Each of the above conditions is separately enforceable and, if one of the conditions is found unenforceable by a court of law, all other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. The Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Hermosa Beach and its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City or its agents, officers or employees to attack, set aside, void or annul this Sign Variance. The City shall promptly notify the Permittee of any claim, action or proceeding and the City shall fully cooperate in the defense. If the City fails to promptly notify the Permittee of any claim, action or proceeding, or the City fails to cooperate fully in the defense, the Permittee shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify or hold harmless the City. The Permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney’s fees that the City may be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this grant. Although the Permittee is the real party in interest in an action, the City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of the action but such participation shall not relieve the Permittee of any obligation under this Sign 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.

Peter Hoffman, Chairman Ken Robertson, Secretary September 20, 2016 _____________ Date 1 Attachment 1 1A RESOLUTION PC 16-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DENYING A VARIANCE TO LOCATE A SIGN WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY AT 1818 MONTEREY BOULEVARD (ST. CROSS EPISCOPAL CHURCH), LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS PORTION OF LOT 12, BLOCK 71, SECOND ADDITION; LOTS 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, P. McNERNEY’S REPLAT OF A PORTION OF LOT 12, BLOCK 71 OF 2ND ADDITION; LOTS 11, 12, 13 & 14, BLOCK 53, FIRST ADDITION; LOTS 19, 20 & 21, TRACT NO. 1129, BLOCK 53; LOTS 17 & 18, TRACT NO. 1128, BLOCK 53, HERMOSA BEACH. The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application for a sign variance was filed by St. Cross Episcopal Church. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for sign variance (VAR 16-2) on September 20, 2016, at which time testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to a considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15311(a) on-premises signs. Section 4. Based on the Staff Reports, testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. The applicant proposes to replace an existing 22 square foot, six foot five inch high message board sign located in front of the church atop a 24 inch to 36 inch tall wall, oriented perpendicular to the street, with a 27 square foot, 6 foot 9 inch high ground sign to be located in the public right-of-way approximately two feet from the back of the sidewalk, south and adjacent to the brick wall which separates the parking lot from the front lawn and perpendicular to the street. 2. The subject property is zoned R-2 and is surrounded by R-1 and R-2 zoned lots and uses. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pursuant to H.B.M.C. Section 17.50.190 in which all findings must be made to grant a variance. A. A variance authorized is not a grant of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity. 2 The proposed sign location within the public right-of-way would be a grant of special privilege as signs in the vicinity have not been granted approval to locate within the public right-of-way. B. Special conditions and extraordinary circumstances apply to the property and do not apply to the other properties in the vicinity so that the strict application of this chapter works a demonstrated hardship on the particular property. A hardship does not exist relative to sign location because there is a viable alternative which would allow for a slightly taller sign (6’9”) with increased sign area (27 square feet) and larger font sizes at the same location as the existing sign (approximately 15 feet from back of sidewalk). Almost the entire street frontage at the project site is limited to loading and unloading of passengers which allows greater sign visibility when events are not taking place. Therefore, the finding of exceptional circumstances does not apply to this property. C. The variance will not adversely affect public safety and the design and appearance of the signing and structures of the surrounding area. The proposed sign within the public right-of-way could potentially detract from the surrounding residential area. Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby denies in part Sign Variance 16-2 to locate a sign within the public right-of-way at 1818 Monterey Boulevard as all required findings cannot be met. Section 6. This grant shall not be effective for any purposes until the permittee and the owners of the property involved have filed at the office of the Planning Division of the Community Development Department their affidavits stating that they are aware of, and agree to accept, all of the conditions of this Sign Variance. Each of the above conditions is separately enforceable and, if one of the conditions is found unenforceable by a court of law, all other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. The Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Hermosa Beach and its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City or its agents, officers or employees to attack, set aside, void or annul this Sign Variance. The City shall promptly notify the Permittee of any claim, action or proceeding and the City shall fully cooperate in the defense. If the City fails to promptly notify the Permittee of any claim, action or proceeding, or the City fails to cooperate fully in the defense, the Permittee shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify or hold harmless the City. The Permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney’s fees that the City may be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this grant. Although the Permittee is the real party in interest in an action, the City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of the action but such participation shall not relieve the Permittee of any obligation under this Sign Variance. 3 Section 7 6. 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.
