CERTIFICATION I hereby certify the foregoing Minutes are a true and complete record of the action taken by the Planning Commission of Hermosa Beach at the regularly scheduled meeting of March 17, 2015. Michael Flaherty, Chairman Ken Robertson, Secretary Date 1 P.C. RESOLUTION 15-9 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO EXTEND HOURS FOR SALES, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE FROM 10:00 P.M. TO 11:00 P.M. AND RESTRICTING HOURS OF OPERATION TO 11:00 P.M. DAILY, AND DENYING A REQUEST TO EXTEND HOURS FOR SALES, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE AFTER 11:00 P.M., IN CONNECTION WITH A RESTAURANT AT 36 PIER AVENUE (GREENBELT) The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Michael Santormieri of Greenbelt Restaurant on property owned by Gerry Delin seeking approval of an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit for an extension of on-sale beer and wine service hours from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., to 12:00 midnight daily in conjunction with an existing restaurant which is not restricted in operating hours. The applicant on March 16, 2015 submitted a modified request to extend hours for beer and wine from 10 p.m. to 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturdays nights, and to 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday and to close the business at those times. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment 15-1 on March 17, 2015, at which testimony and evidence, both oral and written, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission, at which time the Commission directed staff to return with a resolution to approve a CUP amendment to extend hours for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine fro 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily and to require the business to close by 11:00 p.m. daily. Section 3. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The site is located on Pier Plaza within the downtown area of the City of Hermosa Beach and is zoned C-2, Restricted Commercial, which allows restaurant uses and on-sale beer and wine service with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 2. The existing restaurant with on-sale beer and wine is operating under City Council Resolution 00-6059, which allows on-sale beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days per week. Outdoor dining on Pier Plaza is allowed pursuant to a Parking Plan approved per Planning Commission Resolution 13-2 and an encroachment permit. 3. The downtown area of the City of Hermosa Beach, which comprises Pier Avenue, Hermosa Avenue and Pier Plaza, currently contains close to 50 on-sale establishments of 2 which close to half are on-sale beer and wine. Currently on Pier Plaza there are 7 restaurants with beer and wine, and 12 restaurants and bars with general alcohol. 4. The City has adopted a late night intensification ordinance in 17.40.080(B) of the Municipal Code which seeks to reduce the potential for adverse impacts associated with late-night alcohol beverage establishments by, among other means, preventing an increase in the cumulative number of hours that these establishments operate after 11:00 p.m. Section 17.40.080(B)(3) provides incentives (such as modified operating rights like live entertainment, space for dance floors, etc.) that may be considered in exchange for reducing late night hours provided impacts associated with the change in on-sale operating rights can be mitigated. Section 17.40.080(B) further states, “In granting incentives, the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal, shall find that the incentive does not exacerbate the adverse impacts sought to be reduced by the reduction in hours.” Section 4. The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15303c of the California Environmental Quality Act because no physical changes to the premises or surrounding are will occur. Section 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings the Planning Commission makes the following findings supporting approval of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to extend hours for beer and wine to 11:00 p.m. and to close the business at that time per Section 17.40.020, and disallowing the request to additionally extend hours for beer and wine and to close the business at 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights pursuant to Subsections H, I and J of 17.40.020 and 17.40.080(B) of the Municipal Code: 1. Allowing extension of hours for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine until 11:00 p.m. is consistent with Section 17.40.080(B)(1) which seeks to reduce the potential for adverse impacts associated with late-night alcohol beverage establishments by, among other means, preventing an increase in the cumulative number of hours that these establishments operate after 11:00 p.m. 2. Allowing the extension of hours to 11:00 p.m. will not result in adverse impacts because the occupant load is only 40 persons including the outdoor patio, no live entertainment is permitted, the time period is consistent with the dinner hour, there are no other on-sale establishments on the Plaza which close at an earlier time and therefore the extension of hours does not create a precedence, and the 11:00 p.m. close maintains staggered hours on the Plaza. 3. The proposal to extend hours for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine from to 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights is inconsistent with Section 17.40.080(B)(1) which seeks to reduce the potential for adverse impacts associated with late-night alcohol beverage establishments by, among other means, preventing an increase in the cumulative number of hours that these establishments operate after 11:00 p.m. Extension later than 11:00 p.m. would be inconsistent with the intent of Section 17.40.080(B)(3) which allows consideration of incentives to reducing late night hours 3 because the business typically closes by 11:00 p.m., alcohol service is restricted to 10:00 p.m. by the ABC License and the CUP, and therefore, closing the business by 12:00 midnight would not result in a decrease in actual late night operating hours. 4. The proposal to extend hours for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights will result in increased potential for the establishment to assume the character of a bar and for patrons to become intoxicated and thereby cause disturbances later into the night. Since a CUP runs with the land potential future changes in ownership, management or business model could result in additional late night impacts. 5. The proposal to extend hours for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights will add to the considerable concentration of such establishments and people on the Plaza and in the downtown especially on weekends and holidays, increasing the potential for noise and behavioral problems, and impacts to residential and commercial uses. These issues are well documented and ongoing: 9/11 /12 and 9/27/12 City Council Staff Reports - Late Night Ordinance: http://hermosabeach.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=6&clip_id=1999&meta_id=110427 http://hermosabeach.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=6&clip_id=2026&meta_id=111482 8/26/15 City Council Staff Report- On-Sale establishment issues http://hermosabeach.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=6&clip_id=3242&meta_id=157605 6. The Police Chief advises that an increase in hours in which alcohol may be sold on Pier Plaza given the concentration of late night establishments strains police services which may affect public safety and increase costs to the City and impacts the capacity to service other areas of the city. 7. The proposal to extend hours for sale, service and consumption of beer and wine from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights is contrary to a stated objective of Section 17.40.080(B)(1) to ‘reduce the potential for adverse impacts associated with late night alcohol beverage establishments’ and conditions cannot be identified which would offset the adverse impacts sought to be reduced by the reduction in hours. Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to extend sales, service and consumption of beer and wine from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and to close the business by 11:00 p.m. daily at 36 Pier Avenue subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The project shall be substantially consistent with submitted plans as reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 18, 2000. Modifications to the plan shall be reviewed and may be approved by the Community Development Director provided they do not intensify the use. 2. Hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily. All alcohol sales, service and consumption shall cease and all customers shall vacate the 4 premises no later than the stated time of close and the entrance doors shall be locked. Staff may remain onsite after the business is closed to the public for the purposes of cleaning, site maintenance and securing the premise only. 3. The continued operation of the business shall be as a bona fide public eating establishment (1) whose primary function is the sale or offering for sale of prepared food during all hours it is open for business, and (2) that prepares food on-site in a kitchen capable of refrigerating and preparing food from its component ingredients. 4. City Council Resolution 00-6059 is hereby superseded and of no further effect. The Parking Plan per Planning Commission Resolution 13-2 to accommodate outdoor dining pursuant to Section 17.44.210 shall remain in force and effect. 4. The establishment shall not adversely affect the welfare of the residents, and/or commercial establishments nearby. 5. The business shall provide adequate staffing, management and supervisory techniques to prevent loitering, unruliness, and boisterous activities of the patrons outside the business and in the parking areas. 6. Noise emanating from the property shall be within the limitations prescribed by the City's noise ordinance and shall not create a nuisance to surrounding residential neighborhoods, and/or commercial establishments. 7. The Police Chief may determine that a continuing police problem exists, and may authorize the presence of a police approved doorman and/or security personnel to eliminate the problem, and then shall submit a report to the Planning Commission, which will automatically initiate a review of this conditional use permit by the Commission. 8. The exterior of all the premises shall be maintained in a neat and clean manner, and maintained free of graffiti at all times. 9. Any significant changes to the interior layout which would alter the primary function of the business as a restaurant shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. 10. The project and operation of the business shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Municipal Code. Section 7. 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 grant. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded, and proof of recordation shall be submitted to the Community Development Department. 5 Each of the above conditions is separately enforced, and if one of the conditions of approval is found to be invalid by a court of law, all the other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, it agents, officers, and employees from any claim, action, or proceeding against the City or its agents, officers, or employee to attack, set aside, void or annul this permit approval, which action is brought within the applicable time period of the State Government Code. The City shall promptly notify the permittee of any claim, action, or proceeding and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense. If the City fails to promptly notify the permittee of any claim, action or proceeding, or if the City fails to cooperate fully in the defense, the permittee shall no thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless the City. The permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney's fees which the City may be required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this 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 condition. The subject property shall be developed, maintained and operated in full compliance with the conditions of this grant and any law, statute, ordinance or other regulation applicable to any development or activity on the subject property. Failure of the permittee to cease any development or activity not in full compliance shall be a violation of these conditions. Section 8. 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.

The Staff Report for the April meeting will provide additional background, analysis and recommendations for Commission discussion and direction with regard to code amendments. The Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy is intended to provide a comprehensive approach for increasing the vitality of the downtown including assessing the role of key private sites and potentially leveraging City assets to achieve city goals. On February 24, 2015 the Council accepted the Strategy1 and a set of Principles and Guidelines to help guide implementation of the Strategy. The Strategy components and implementation paths include the following: The Hermosa Avenue and Pier Plaza improvement components were referred to Public Works to refine concept plans before seeking input from relevant Commissions (Public Works and Planning Commission for Hermosa Avenue; Public Works, Parks and Recreation and potentially Planning Commission for Pier Plaza). Catalyst hotel development should be guided by the Strategy and Principles and Guidelines. A comprehensive downtown and interceptor parking facility discussion is pending. The zoning code related concepts of the Parking Strategy were referred to Community Development and the Planning Commission. Some of the other components also address private development and the public/private realm interfaces. One question is how this discussion relates to the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Update. A purpose of the Update process is to test and integrate the various independent planning and 1 Modification to the Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy are referenced in the document. 2 programs underway into one comprehensive, long-term plan that reflects a common vision and provides a framework for aligning policy and programs. It is customary for work on various programs to continue during an Update process, although a jurisdiction may adjust timeframes if implementation of a plan or program would significantly prejudice the Update process. The Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy addresses just one physical part of the city, albeit an important one, and the overall Strategy is generally consistent with the input from the community and the General Plan Update Vision and Guiding Principles reviewed by the Council in December 2014. Over the next few months as the General Plan Update alternatives are prepared and the Planning Commission and City Council consider zoning code amendments to implement that Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy, there will remain the ability to slow down or even halt work on zoning code amendments if a significant policy issue arises that should be resolved through the General Plan process. Commission Considerations The various components of the Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy work together to advance a desired future vision, and it is important to keep the overall context in mind as the Commission addresses zoning amendments. The full document should be read in full. The Strategy introduction states in part: “Now, it is important to create an environment that nurtures the increasingly stable, diverse and family-oriented population. Investing in improvements to the public realm is one of the first steps that can be made, and will signal the City’s commitment to the area. Subsequent important steps will be to better manage parking and encourage a greater variety of businesses, including fine dining establishments, high quality hotels and upper floor offices that reflect the changing nature of the population and contribute to the overall downtown environment. Within the downtown as a whole as well as within the core, there is a need to increase the day- time population to add life and vitality that goes beyond the typical recreationally oriented uses that have been historically attracted to the beach setting of Hermosa Beach. Office development, whether on upper floors or in stand-alone buildings, is an important activity that can build economic support for local-serving retail and quality dining establishments. Hermosa Beach is exceptionally well positioned for upscale hotel facilities on beachfront locations within the Downtown Core. In addition, if new hotel development includes an ample lobby, restaurant, spa, and other amenities, it will help to create a more sociable and attractive destination that will enhance its image and identity and contribute to its sense of security. Furthermore, high quality hotel development will, as with additional office uses, also provide greater market support for quality retail and restaurant establishments. The encouragement of office and hotel uses cannot come at the expense of creating a pedestrian oriented people place with active ground level uses on key corridors and adjacent to important public spaces. In addition, creating a more active, people oriented place must also be pursued in conjunction with quality development that respects the scale and unique character of Hermosa Beach. To realize the potential of the Downtown Core will require the pro-active 3 pursuit of appropriate infill development as well as public-private partnerships, implementation of public parking and streetscape improvements as well as some modifications to existing zoning.” The following Principles accepted by Council reflect the Strategy and will be referred to when staff evaluates various zoning amendments: Principles: 1. Proactive strategy: The Downtown Core, between 10th and 14th Streets and the Strand and Palm Drive focused on Hermosa Avenue and Pier Plaza is the heart of Hermosa Beach, and should be enhanced as the focus of social life in the city. It is part of the Downtown District, bounded by 15th Street, 8th Street, extending along Pier Avenue to Valley Drive. 2. Family-friendly, inviting to all: Create an environment that appeals to the increasingly stable, diverse and family-oriented population and allows them to mutually co-exist, rather than being a place dominated by one group at the expense of another. 3. Daytime district: Increasing the day-time population will add life and vitality that goes beyond the typical recreationally oriented uses that have been historically attracted to the beach setting of Hermosa Beach. 4. Pedestrian oriented: Develop the Downtown Core as a pedestrian and people oriented place with an appropriate mix of uses and quality of development that contributes to a more sociable, publicly-spirited and economically viable place. 5. Eclectic beach character: Improvement of parking facilities and management within the Downtown Core is essential to increasing economic vitality and maintaining the eclectic character of a district with small local businesses anchored by catalyst projects that provide synergy and support. 6. Distinctive retail district: Create a distinctive and well-defined retail district with quality shops and restaurants on the ground floor that are pedestrian oriented, family-friendly and appealing to a wide range of people. 7. Catalyst development: High quality hotel development that respects the scale and unique character of Hermosa Beach and provides significant quality public spaces and benefits can enhance the hospitality, identity and economic viability of the Downtown District. 8. Public investment: Realizing the full potential of the Downtown Core requires investment in the public realm and public-private partnerships which signal the City’s commitment to the area and further city goals, attract economic enterprises, and reduce the negative social behavior that occurs within the Pier Plaza area. 4 Parking Strategy: The Commission will be considering potential parking related code amendments to implement to Strategy. The most relevant information from the Strategy is provided below. The City also commissioned a Beach Access and Parking Study as part of the General Plan/Coastal Land use Plan Update, which is provided for your review. We will also address the relationship between the Beach Access and Parking Study and the code amendments in the April Staff Report. “The parking strategy is intended to encourage small, independent, local businesses in the downtown district maintain the smaller scale, and small town character and manage the parking demand fluctuations more effectively, particularly since there are surges during the summer and weekends. There are two primary aspects of the parking strategy – first, the development of a public parking supply that is publicly managed with demand pricing to help control the distribution and availability of parking. The public parking can be provided for by using in-lieu fees and parking charges to help pay for the program and a specific financing plan for these will need to be developed. New public parking structures should be located to help alleviate peak loading on thoroughfares and for better traffic management. In addition to these, convenient, short term on-street parking, like what was developed on Pier Avenue, should be encouraged on Hermosa Avenue, the other major downtown retail street. The second component of the parking strategy involves modifications to the existing zoning requirements for new development in support of a pedestrian-oriented district where the continuity and quality of the pedestrian experience is given a priority and a certain amount of walking to parking facilities is part of the experience of place.” Zoning Modifications: “Concerns were raised in initial discussions with developers, realtors and property owners about parking requirements in the existing Zoning Code and the deterrent that they impose upon economic vitality and the ability to maintain and further the small scale village environment of downtown Hermosa Beach. In particular, a significant concern is the effect that these requirements have on the ability to encourage office development on upper floors which would be beneficial in enhancing the daytime population and thus the market support for retail and restaurant functions. Existing parking issues and requirements in Hermosa Beach were reviewed along with those of other selected beach cities. The conclusion of this effort is that there should be a greater emphasis on how parking solutions can help to create a more attractive and accessible pedestrian-oriented district, where a greater mix and intensity of activities are desired while still accommodating beach-going peak visitor demand.” The Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy identified eleven potential code amendments to encourage a more pedestrian-oriented district which will be evaluated in the April Staff report. 1. Pier Avenue, from PCH to Hermosa Avenue and including the Community and Civic Center sites and Hermosa Avenue and the Downtown Core from 10th to 14th Streets should be designated as a pedestrian-oriented district, with special incentives and provisions to minimize the impact of parking and to encourage pedestrian and bicycle mobility. 5 2. All parking in the pedestrian-oriented district should be provided off-site, rather than the current 25% of parking for buildings with greater than a one floor-to-area ratio (FAR). This is only currently allowed in the SPA-11 zone (Pier Avenue east of Hermosa Avenue to Valley Drive) as an incentive to conserve iconic buildings (Section17.38.550(D)). 3. There should be a reduced amount of required parking for commercial (office and retail) uses within the pedestrian oriented district. Currently one space per 250 SF is required for these uses, however, the Coastal Commission recently provided for a reduced standard of 1/333 SF, which is more consistent with other beach communities, contingent on a parking evaluation from the City which should be undertaken. 4. There should be a reduced amount of required parking for restaurant uses within the pedestrian-oriented district. Currently, one space per 1,00 SF is required. Cities such as Redondo Beach utilizes a one space per 250 SF for pedestrian-oriented districts, which should be considered in Hermosa Beach as well. 5. Outdoor seating should be encouraged for the creation of a more sociable environment within the pedestrian oriented district. The determination of the appropriate amount of outdoor seating within the public street right-of-way should be based on lot frontage length, maintaining adequate space for pedestrian circulation and considerations related to adjacencies and public safety. These are to be determined on a case-by-case basis at a staff level by the Community Development and Public Works Director. Parking requirements for outdoor seating should be reduced appropriately to encourage the diversity of types of establishments within the downtown district and in particular within the Downtown Core. For example, in Redondo Beach, no additional parking is required for the first 12 seats of outdoor seating. 6. Parking requirements should be reduced for mixed use buildings on a single lot that generate parking demand during different times of the day without the need for a discretionary action by the City. There are currently a variety of conditions upon which the amount of parking reduction may be allowed or a fee paid in lieu of providing parking, but a discretionary review is required. 7. Upper level office use should be encouraged to attract a lively downtown environment and provide a greater daytime population that supports retail and restaurant uses. Parking for upper level office use should be reduced and located off-site in shared parking and public parking facilities. 8. Vehicular parking requirements should be reduced in exchange for the provision of additional bicycle parking, beyond what is already required by the City. This provision is currently limited to development along Pier Avenue. An equivalence of 4 bicycle spaces for one car space, up to 20% of the parking required for non-residential projects should be considered (which is the provision allowed in the City of Los Angeles and other cities’ zoning codes). This includes the required bicycle parking and any additional bicycle parking. 9. For an existing non-restaurant use that is converting to restaurant use and whose parking requirements are met in common facilities within the pedestrian-oriented district, a credit 6 against the future parking requirements should be allowed, based upon the zoning requirements of the existing use. Currently this is not allowed for some types of restaurants in the downtown district. 10. Parking requirements for commercial uses within the pedestrian- oriented district should be allowed in common facilities within a quarter mile walking distance. This is currently only allowed for second floor office space as an incentive to conserve iconic buildings in SPA-11 zone along Pier Avenue. 11. Parking requirements for commercial uses within the pedestrian- oriented district should be based on a net usable building square footage basis, that is, not including for example, bathrooms, hallways, lobbies, service, storage and mechanical rooms.” Commercial Tenanting Strategy The Commercial Tenanting Strategy addresses way to increase daytime activity to support retail uses. Attention to both the public and private realms is important and the potential for zoning code amendments and timing will be addressed in the April Staff report. “Within the Downtown Core, the prime commercial tenanting opportunities are located along Hermosa Avenue, adjacent to Pier Plaza and on the Strand. Strategic public investment and successful development of catalyst sites in these three areas – Pier Plaza, Hermosa Avenue and the Strand frontage – could dramatically enhance the appeal, sociability and security of the Downtown Core and help transform it into a vibrant center for Hermosa businesses. Today, the quality and diversity of many existing retail establishments is not on par with expectations of residents or potential visitors from other Beach Cities. For example, the current retail tenant mix along Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue appears to be overrepresented in the health and beauty sector - uses more typical of a neighborhood center than a retail shopping district and are under-represented in the apparel sector, where the City exhibits significant retail leakage. As previously discussed, uses that increase the day-time population and longer stay visitation will contribute to the market support for retail development. Streetscape improvements and public parking can also help to enhance the appeal, convenience and attractiveness of the area. In addition, zoning modifications that eliminate on-site parking requirements will help to create greater continuity and pedestrian interest. Creating a more distinctive and well-defined retail district will help to market the area as a destination and, at the same time, attract better quality shops and restaurants. Improvements to the public realm are key to the enhancement of the image and identity of the Downtown Core as a retail destination. Widened sidewalks and public plazas that create space for cafes and outdoor dining can also attract additional patrons. Activities that spill out and populate the public spaces communicate that this place is worth visiting - seeing people brings people. In addition, the provision of convenient on-street parking makes retail shopping appear more accessible and attractive. Furthermore, the current ever-increasing trend towards bicycling for both recreation and work trips needs to be recognized by the provision of convenient bicycle parking as well.” 7 Hermosa Avenue Streetscape Improvements The proposal for redevelopment of Hermosa Avenue is integrally related to the private realm and zoning opportunities and timing will be addressed in the April Staff Report. “Just as Pier Avenue is the gateway to the downtown district from the east, Hermosa Avenue is an important north/south gateway into the City. It traditionally served as the “main street” to the community, providing essential goods and services for the local population. Hermosa Avenue has significant regional continuity but does not present a strong sense of arrival when it traverses the downtown core. Improvements that enhance this sense of arrival and provide a stronger sense of the downtown as a district should be considered. Just as the improvements on Pier Avenue have spurred reinvestment and positive changes, improvements to Hermosa Avenue between 10th and 14th Streets can strengthen the economic underpinnings of this part of the Downtown Core. A concept similar to what was successfully undertaken along Pier Avenue was favorably considered by the City Council at a recent study session in reference to the improvements planned for Hermosa Avenue. This concept would involve the provision of wider 20-foot sidewalks on the sunny east side of the street, where sidewalk cafes and outdoor seating should be encouraged, the addition of street trees and intersection and median improvements, as well as diagonal parking.” Pier Plaza and the Strand Improvements The relationship of concepts for improving Pier Plaza to zoning will also be addressed in the April Staff Report. “Furthermore, upper story uses would not only provide additional activity but provide a better scale to this wide space and additional support for the retail uses along it.” Hotel Development Strategy This strategy and its relationship to zoning will be addressed in the April Staff report. “It is important that an attitude is taken that looks to the achievement of the qualitative dimensions of place-making as of at least equal value to the achievement of the room count and yield of the hotel.” ... “The goals of the [Healdsburg] hotel project were to not only provide for the lodging of visitors but to create a special place that would contribute to the life on the square and become a catalyst for further retail and restaurant development.” Attachments: Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy (separate document) Principles and Guidelines Reflecting the Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy (attached) Beach Access and Parking Study (separate document) 8 Principles and Guidelines Reflecting the Downtown Core Revitalization Strategy Goal: Create a sociable, publicly-spirited and economically viable Downtown District that appeals to residents and visitors alike and supports a sustainable and livable community. Principles: 9. Proactive strategy: The Downtown Core, between 10th and 14th Streets and the Strand and Palm Drive focused on Hermosa Avenue and Pier Plaza is the heart of Hermosa Beach, and should be enhanced as the focus of social life in the city. It is part of the Downtown District, bounded by 15th Street, 8th Street, extending along Pier Avenue to Valley Drive. 10. Family-friendly, inviting to all: Create an environment that appeals to the increasingly stable, diverse and family-oriented population and allows them to mutually co-exist, rather than being a place dominated by one group at the expense of another. 11. Daytime district: Increasing the day-time population will add life and vitality that goes beyond the typical recreationally oriented uses that have been historically attracted to the beach setting of Hermosa Beach. 12. Pedestrian oriented: Develop the Downtown Core as a pedestrian and people oriented place with an appropriate mix of uses and quality of development that contributes to a more sociable, publicly-spirited and economically viable place. 13. Eclectic beach character: Improvement of parking facilities and management within the Downtown Core is essential to increasing economic vitality and maintaining the eclectic character of a district with small local businesses anchored by catalyst projects that provide synergy and support. 14. Distinctive retail district: Create a distinctive and well-defined retail district with quality shops and restaurants on the ground floor that are pedestrian oriented, family-friendly and appealing to a wide range of people. 15. Catalyst development: High quality hotel development that respects the scale and unique character of Hermosa Beach and provides significant quality public spaces and benefits can enhance the hospitality, identity and economic viability of the Downtown District. 16. Public investment: Realizing the full potential of the Downtown Core requires investment in the public realm and public-private partnerships which signal the City’s commitment to the area and further city goals, attract economic enterprises, 9 and reduce the negative social behavior that occurs within the Pier Plaza area. Guidelines: Catalyst Hotel Development Strategy (Principles 1- 8) A. High quality hotel development that respects the scale and unique character of Hermosa Beach and provides significant quality public spaces and benefits can enhance the hospitality, identity and economic viability of the Downtown District. B. Catalyst hotel projects provide strategic, transformative and differentiated development: Rather than representing “business as usual,” catalyst projects define, enhance and communicate the City’s brand, and activate community involvement, participation, and innovation. Advance community objectives to maintain our small beach town character, enhance economic and environmental sustainability, and support an active healthy lifestyle. Provide significant and demonstrable positive effects on the social and economic fabric of the Downtown District, including benefits to residents, businesses, and visitors. Make significant contributions to a livable and sustainable community. C. Catalyst development that provides public benefits may merit public/private partnerships or incentives of various types, including potential use of city assets, consistent with community objectives and values and these guidelines. High priority benefits include: Includes uses, amenities or spaces that provide the ability for the public to use or derive benefit from the project. Provides space and design that facilitates a more diverse and balanced mix of uses that appeal to residents as well as visitors. Provides a unique hotel product with a quality design and experience that strives for a top rating of four-star or higher at all times. Design and operation that reduces vehicle trips in the Downtown. Demonstration of environmental leadership through development design and operations consistent with the city’s carbon neutral goal. 10 Design and operation that expands opportunities for walking, biking and use of alternative modes. Demonstration of marine protection through development design and operations that result in net zero urban and stormwater runoff. Other priorities include: Minimizing parking demand through use of shuttles, carsharing, etc. Improvements or investments that serve as a catalyst to carbon reduction by others. D. Catalyst development design exhibits the following: Takes a holistic and integrated approach in order to maximize community benefits and compatibility. Creates high quality public spaces for uses that appeal to a diverse population throughout the day and create synergy with nearby development. Community spirited improvements or public benefits may be located on property being developed for a hotel or other catalyst project, or on other property that is associated with the comprehensive development project. Maintains the connectivity of the mobility grid (streets, alleys, pedestrian and bike pathways) so people can continue to easily move from place to place, especially by walking and biking. E. Hotel development with frontage on Pier Plaza, The Strand between 11th and 13th Streets, Hermosa Avenue, or Pier Avenue exhibits the following: The ground floor frontages on the Pier Plaza, Hermosa Avenue and The Strand between 11th to 13th Streets must provide quality public spaces appeal to a diverse population and create a more sociable and attractive place. Parking, driveways, walls lacking permeability (without windows and doors inviting to the general public), and ground floor non-retail uses (including uses such as offices and appointment-driven services) must be avoided. Multi-story buildings should be developed on Pier Plaza to provide additional activity and support for the retail uses, and frame the wide space by improving the sense of scale and security. Development design and architecture should be mindful of the identity and scale of the City and the 11 Downtown District, while celebrating the unique setting. Provision of high quality public spaces on the ground floor and roof terraces which enhance opportunities to enjoy the unique beachfront setting of Hermosa Beach but do not add stories may merit consideration of increased height. Any increased height is subject to a vote of the people. Commercial Tenanting Strategy (Principles 1-8) A. Increase retail uses along Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue that appeal to residents as well as visitors, which are overrepresented by the health and beauty sectors, and underrepresented by the clothing sector. B. Active ground level uses that engage a diverse and pedestrian oriented population must be provided on key corridors (Pier Plaza, Hermosa Avenue, Pier Avenue, and The Strand between 11th to 13th Streets) and adjacent to important public spaces. Parking, driveways, walls lacking permeability, and non-retail uses (including offices and appointment-driven services) are to be avoided. C. Encourage uses that increase the day-time population and longer visitor stays in order to support retail development. D. Office development on upper floors or outside the Downtown Core can build economic support for local-serving retail and quality dining establishments. E. The encouragement of office and hotel uses cannot occur at the expense of creating a pedestrian oriented place. F. Activities that spill out and populate the public spaces create a pedestrian environment and communicate that the Downtown District is a place is worth visiting. G. Maintain the connectivity of the street/alley grid so people can continue to easily move from place to place, especially by walking and biking. H. Maximize uses welcoming and accessible to the general public along beachfront frontages and at locations with coastal views. I. Improvements to the public realm such as streetscape, plaza, and parking management, will enhance the image and identity of the Downtown Core as a pedestrian and retail destination. J. Continue the current trend towards bicycling for both recreation and work trips by the provision of convenient bicycle travel ways and bicycle parking. K. Zoning modifications that facilitate parking in publicly managed 12 consolidated/centralized facilities serving multiple uses rather than providing parking on each site will help maintain the eclectic character of the Downtown District, create a pedestrian oriented place, and improve land use efficiencies. Parking Strategy (Principles 1, 3, 4 5, 8) A. Maintain the eclectic scale and mix of small, independent, local businesses in the Downtown District by managing parking demand fluctuations more effectively. B. Modify zoning requirements in support of a pedestrian-oriented district where the continuity and quality of the pedestrian experience is a priority and a certain amount of walking to parking facilities is part of the experience of place. C. Develop consolidated/centralized public parking facility(ies) within the Downtown Core to serve redevelopment, improve land use efficiency, help alleviate peak loading on thoroughfares, and improve traffic management. Interceptor parking to serve the surge requirements of recreational, special events, and civic and community functions, as well as supporting upper Pier Avenue retail and office parking, should be developed at the Community Center/Civic Center. D. Develop a public parking supply that is publicly managed with demand pricing to help control the distribution and availability of parking. E. Develop convenient, time-managed and priced short term on-street parking on Hermosa Avenue to support retail and convenience needs and avoid being absorbed for long-term use and by employees. F. Modify zoning requirements to provide incentives and provisions to minimize the impact of parking and to encourage pedestrian and bicycle mobility addressing: off-site parking; parking for upper story office, retail, restaurant, mixed use and outdoor seating; and bicycle parking. Hermosa Avenue Streetscape (Principles 1-8) A. Make improvements to create a sense of arrival and definition of the Downtown Core as a unique district. B. Implement a streetscape strategy similar to that along upper Pier Avenue: consider wider sidewalks, street trees, intersection and median improvements, diagonal parking, and also sidewalk cafes. C. Widen sidewalks and public plazas on Hermosa Avenue will create space for cafes and outdoor dining and attract additional patrons. D. Provide convenient on-street parking on Hermosa Avenue to make retail shopping appear more accessible and attractive. 13 Pier Plaza and The Strand (Principles 2, 3, 5, 7, 8) A. Promote and facilitate frequent activities (e.g. weekly) that attract residents and create a greater sense that these spaces are not only for visitors but also for residents. B. Rescale the Plaza to make it more attractive during times when fewer people are present: consider extending palm trees westward, smaller canopy trees, and elements that will make it more inviting such as lighting and banners. C. Encourage multi-story uses along the Plaza to provide additional activity and support for the retail uses, and to frame this wide space by improving the sense of scale and security. D. Create a stronger destination for residents and families: consider playground, fitness area, bicycle facilities, and other family and multi-generational activities and facilities. E. Ground floor frontages on Pier Plaza and The Strand between 11th to 13th Streets, must provide quality public spaces that appeal to a diverse population and create a more sociable and attractive place. Parking, driveways, walls lacking permeability, and non-retail uses (including offices and appointment-driven services) are to be avoided.

The Coastal Zone extends from the north to the south city limits, and east from the beach to approximately Valley Drive (see Figure 1). The methods, locations, and time periods for the survey data collection were directed by City staff and reflect input from the consultant team working on the updates to the General Plan and the Local Coastal Plan as well as the Hermosa Police Department. The City has a long and successful history of managing public parking resources, and this inventory and survey is intended to support ongoing management decisions. Data collected include information related to three aspects of coastal visitation and access: 1. Coastal Zone visitors – both in terms of their number and the origin of their trip 2. Coastal Zone mode share – summarizing data from an in-person beach area survey, and 3. Parking in the Coastal Zone – including parking supply, regulations, and occupancy levels This document is structured as a summary of the data and does not include recommendations or suggested changes to parking standards, additional parking supply or management policies. Key observations revealed in analysis of the survey data are discussed in greater detail in the sections to follow. 3 Introduction │Hermosa Beach Beach Access and Parking Study Figure 1 – Study Area 4 COASTAL ZONE VISITORS METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS Data Collection Methodology Coastal Zone visitor origin data was collected using cell phone and other GPS device data, which provides a robust data set covering a broad area. Data is collected from all types of mobile phones, not just smartphones. The data set is scrubbed of all personally identifiable information, and uses an algorithm to determine a mobile phone user’s home location based on the phone’s usual stationary nighttime coordinates. For the Coastal Zone analysis, data was collected on all mobile signals active within the Coastal Zone during similar time periods to those in which the parking occupancy survey was conducted, including on weekday afternoons, weekday evenings, and weekend afternoons. To avoid counting vehicles driving through, but not stopping in, the Coastal Zone, mobile signals were only considered as a visitor if they stopped for a minimum continuous five to seven minute period within the Coastal Zone (i.e., for a longer period of time than a driver stopped at a red light would wait for a green signal). Results present the number and origin location of visitors to the Coastal Zone during the selected times of day, averaged from a year’s worth of data, excluding holiday periods. Number of Coastal Zone Visitors Cell phone data revealed that the total number of residents and visitors inside the Coastal Zone on a weekday afternoon number almost 50,000, or more than 2.5 times the total city population (approximately 20,000). On a weekday evening, the number of people within the Coastal Zone grows to just over 60,000 people, and on a weekend afternoon, the number of people in the Coastal Zone swells incredibly to almost 110,000 – five and a half times the total city population. Table 1 presents the number of visitors to the Coastal Zone in each surveyed time period. Table 1 – Hermosa Beach Population and Coastal Zone Visitors Area Population City of Hermosa Beach 19,535 Coastal Zone - Weekday Afternoon 48,600 Coastal Zone - Weekday Evening 60,500 Coastal Zone - Weekend Afternoon 108,000 Coastal Zone Visitor Origin At all times, a majority of visitors to the Coastal Zone are “local”, originating within a radius of 10 miles from neighboring communities such as Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and Torrance. Of the three surveyed time periods, the percentage of local visitors is highest on a weekday evening, when 80 percent of people in the Coastal Zone come from 10 miles away or less. The percentage of local visitors is lowest on weekend afternoons, when only 66 percent of the total number of people in the Coastal Zone 5 Coastal Zone Visitors │ Hermosa Beach Beach Access and Parking Study come from 10 miles away or less. However, because the total number of visitors to the Coastal Zone is so much higher on a weekend afternoon as compared to a weekday evening, the number of local visitors represented in the 66 percent (71,000) is higher than even the total number of people in the Coastal Zone from any distance on a weekday. In all surveyed time periods, between five and 10 percent of people in the Coastal Zone (or between 3,000 and 9,000 people) come from more than 100 miles away – and likely arrived to the area from one of the regional airports including LAX or Long Beach. Table 2 presents the percent of visitors to the Coastal Zone from varying differences during each surveyed time period. Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4 illustrate the origin of visitors to the Coastal Zone during a weekday afternoon, weekday evening, and weekend afternoon, respectively.

According to the Beach Area Survey, 40 percent of beach area visitors arrived by walking, 56 percent drove, and the remaining four percent biked, skateboarded, or were dropped off in a taxi or another vehicle. No beach area visitors reported using public transit. Table 3 illustrates beach area visitor mode share, as collected in the Beach Area Survey. As a comparison, Hermosa Beach citywide commute mode share, excluding workers who work from home, is also presented. Table 3 – Mode Share The number of beach area visitors who arrived by bicycle may be underreported as few bicyclists stopped to take the survey. Video taken on the Strand just north of Pier Avenue suggests that the number of area visitors bicycling to or on the beach is extremely high: 300 bicyclists were observed during one hour on a weekday afternoon, over 400 bicyclists in one hour on a weekday evening, and almost 1,000 bicyclists in one hour on a weekend afternoon. Table 4 presents bicycle activity by bicyclist classification on the Strand during each surveyed time period. 2% Beach Area Visitor Mode Share City of Hermosa Beach Citywide Commute Mode Share (Excluding Workers Who Work From Home) 8 Table 4 – Bicycle Activity on the Strand Weekday Afternoon Weekday Evening Weekend Afternoon Overall 293 413 966 Bicycle Enthusiast 8 3 40 Adult Male 173 223 572 Adult Female 99 156 295 Child 10 23 46 Adult w/ child in child seat/trailer 3 8 13 * Bicycle enthusiast may be male or female, and was identified as wearing spandex bicycle clothing ` 9 Parking in the Coastal Zone │ Hermosa Beach Beach Access and Parking Study PARKING IN THE COASTAL ZONE PARKING CONDITIONS Methodology A parking inventory was conducted first. On every street segment within the Coastal Zone, the following variables were observed and recorded: the number and type of parking spaces, all posted restrictions, and the cost to park. Following the inventory, an occupancy survey was conducted on Saturday, August 2 and Tuesday, August 5. Per the City’s direction, occupancy counts were collected on Saturday and Tuesday afternoons between 2:00 and 3:00 PM to collect data during the peak beach visitation period, and on Tuesday evening between 7:00 and 8:00 PM during the peak weekday evening restaurant dinner hour. Observations included whether a parking space was occupied, and if it was occupied by a vehicle displaying a Residential Parking Permit sticker or tag. Coastal Zone Public Parking Supply There are approximately 4,400 public parking spaces in the Coastal Zone. Of the 4,400 spaces, more than 400 can be found in one of three public parking lots located west of Hermosa Avenue near the beach, while approximately 1,500 of the on-street spaces are metered. For purposes of analysis, and with input from City of Hermosa Beach staff, the Coastal Zone was divided into three subzones with the following geographic limits: Zone 1 North City Limit – 16th Street Primarily Residential land use Zone 2 16th Street – 8th Street Primarily Commercial land use Zone 3 8th Street – South City Limit Primarily Residential land use Zone 1 has the greatest concentration of public parking in the Coastal Zone. Table 5 presents the number and type of public parking spaces available in each analysis subzone. Figure 5 illustrates the number of public parking spaces available on each analyzed street segment and in each of the three public parking lots. Figure 6 illustrates metered and unmetered parking restrictions on each analyzed segment.

Geographically, utilization of parking spaces is highest in Zone 1, with more than twice as many spaces occupied in Zone 1 than in Zone 3 in each surveyed time period. Despite this, occupancy rates (the percent of spaces which are occupied, as opposed to the number of spaces occupied) are highest in Zone 3 due to the unequal distribution of parking spaces between subzones. In Zone 3 on Saturday afternoons, the parking supply nears capacity with an occupancy rate of 98 percent. Overall occupancy in the entire Coastal Zone never exceeds 80 percent. Table 6 presents the number and percent of occupied Coastal Zone public parking spaces cumulatively and in each subzone across the analyzed time periods. Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9 present density maps highlighting high occupancy areas in the Coastal Zone during a weekday afternoon, weekday evening, and weekend afternoon, respectively.

Residential parking permit holders are entitled to park at 24-hour meters without paying the meter or in one hour residential zones without regard to the time limit for up to 72 hours. Employees of local businesses are also entitled to purchase parking permits for an additional fee. Occupancy by residential parking permit holders within the Coastal Zone is heaviest in the evening and on weekends, when almost half of all spaces are occupied by permit holders. In Zone 3 on weekends, permit holders consume almost the entire parking supply (85 percent). Table 7 presents the percent of public parking spaces in each subzone occupied by a parking permit holder’s vehicle across the three analyzed time periods. Figure 10, Figure 11, and Figure 12 present occupancy maps showing occupancy by parking permit holders during a weekday afternoon, weekday evening, and weekend afternoon, respectively.

Lot C provides three electric vehicle charging stations on the third floor of the parking facility. Overall occupancy of the three lots was lightest on a weekday evening and highest on a weekend afternoon. Occupancy was generally higher than 85 percent, but at no surveyed time did occupancy drop below 79 percent. (During the weekend afternoon survey period, Lot B was closed for a beach event.) Table 8 presents parking supply numbers as well as occupancy rates in the three parking facilities during each of the analyzed time periods. Additionally, Table 8 presents the proportion of parking spaces occupied by a parking permit holder.

Car2Go launched at the end of July 2014. Two Car2Go vehicles were observed in the Coastal Zone on the surveyed weekday, five were observed on the surveyed weekend day. Table 9 presents the number and location where Car2Go vehicles were observed parking during each of the surveyed time periods.

Established as independent municipalities more than one hundred years ago, they were originally resort and recre- ational settings, somewhat removed from the economic life of the land-centric city of Los Angeles to the north and east. Once only accessible by trolley and rail to the rest of the region, these cities are now very well connected to the metropolitan area and have become even more attractive places for residents. At the same time, they also serve as a regional open space and recre- ational resource for the metropolitan area and therefore have to contend with the surges of population on weekends and during the summer months. Historic census information reveals continu- ously upward trends in household income, educational levels, home ownership and land value. Upgrades and improvements to the building stock, which was built for shorter-term summer stays, have been undertaken. As the region has continued to grow and expand, the beach cities have become increasingly valuable places to live, work and play. Hermosa Beach has many features in common with Manhattan Beach to the north and Redondo Beach to the south, and is closely linked to these communities by the continuity of the public beach, the Strand along the beach and the Greenbelt. But, it is also a very distinctive place with its own issues, opportunities and chal- lenges. Hermosa Beach is the smallest of the beach communities and it is also the one that is geographically most focused on the coast. It is also more of a bedroom community, with greater out- commuting of residents to work and a smaller daytime popula- tion. At the same time, historic economic data indicates resiliency in the real estate market and generally the market potential is good for a variety of different uses, particularly with the effects of the Great Recession waning. Hermosa Beach has an attractive, small town character and a fine- grain urban fabric generally comprised of small lots and build- ings. The urban pattern is oriented to the beach and the pier, connected by the Strand and the Greenbelt and punctuated by other parks and open spaces. As the City continues to change and evolve over time, and as growth occurs, there is an ongoing concern over the surges in population and the generally nega- tive social behavior that occurs within the Pier Plaza area. These are important concerns, which may be best addressed by posi- tive changes aimed at making upgrades and investments that will attract economic enterprises and activities that will ultimately overshadow the negative aspects. 2 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 P A C I F I C C O A S T H I G H W A Y H E R M O S A A V E N U E PIER PLAZAPIER AVENUECLARK FIELD CORPYARDHERMOSAVALLEYELEMENTARY COMMUNITYCENTER CIVIC CENTER DOWNTOWN CORE Downtown Context DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 3 Over the past several months, ROMA Design Group has been working with Economic & Planning Systems (EPS), economic consultants, and the City of Hermosa Beach in developing strate- gies for the economic development of the Downtown and Civic Center areas. In the first phase of the work effort, options related to the leveraging of City-owned property were identified and evaluated. Based on direction from the City Council, the Phase 2 effort has focused within the Downtown Core. The purpose of this report is to summarize the findings of the Phase 2 work effort. The Downtown Core The Downtown Core encompasses the rectangle between 10th and 14th Streets and between the Strand and Palm Drive and is focused on Hermosa Avenue and Pier Plaza. It is part of the downtown district, which extends north to 15th Street, south to 8th Street and east along Pier Avenue to Valley Boulevard. While the upper Pier Avenue has an important relationship to the Downtown Core, it has already been the subject of a successful revitalization effort and is not the primary focus of the strategies described herein. The Downtown Core is the oldest part of Hermosa Beach, which was originally platted in the early 1900’s. Today, it has many of the characteristics of an older downtown, with buildings on relatively small parcels that have incrementally developed over time. Some of the most notable older structures were built with clear civic intent and stature, attaining heights of 40 to 60 feet. Historically, these taller buildings with large windows and high floor-to-ceiling ground floor spaces were located immediately adjacent to the sidewalk. Commercial uses were built to support the recreational nature of the beach community as well as to serve the small permanent and seasonal residential population. Landmark build- ings reflect the early identity of Hermosa Beach, including the Biltmore Hotel (now demolished), the Bijou Theater and the Bank of America and a number of mixed-use buildings with ground floor shops with upper floor office and residential uses. As the population increased, particularly after World War II, and as the pattern of shopping shifted to larger shopping centers, the nature of the downtown also underwent significant changes. Within the center of downtown at the foot of Pier Avenue, bars began to occupy buildings as commercial uses declined and relo- cated elsewhere. Now, it is important to create an environment that nurtures the increasingly stable, diverse and family-oriented population. Investing in improvements to the public realm is one of the first steps that can be made, and will signal the City’s commitment to the area. Subsequent important steps will be to better manage parking and encourage a greater variety of busi- nesses, including fine dining establishments, high quality hotels and upper floor offices that reflect the changing nature of the population and contribute to the overall downtown environment 4 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 The Lighthouse, featuring jazz on Pier Plaza, the landmark Biltmore Hotel and the Bijou Theater, made distinctive contributions to the identity and activity of Hermosa Beach. After WWII the downtown underwent significant changes and now it is poised to change in a fresh new way. DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 5 and quality of life in the city. In the future, downtown Hermosa Beach should become a place that appeals to a wide diversity of people – the surfer, the creative entrepreneur, the high tech busi- nessman and the young family with children. It should be a place that allows a diversity of groups to mutually co-exist - not a place that is dominated by one group at the expense of another. The downtown district is the heart of Hermosa Beach and should be enhanced so that it becomes, to an even greater extent than today, the focus of social life in the city. The betterment of the downtown will reflect positively on the quality of life in the com- munity as a whole. In 2010, the City invested in improvements to upper Pier Avenue that have already had significant benefits on the character and quality of that street. This report addresses what further actions should be taken to nurture positive change. As Hermosa Beach has matured as a community, the downtown has evolved as well. Still, the downtown businesses do not serve a broad cross-section of the population and provide less in the way of diverse retail and fine dining than would be expected, given the demographics of the community and the high quality assets of the area. If we look at the downtown district in its entirety, and the core area more specifically, there is a significant amount of land that is now vacant, used for parking or is underutilized. Positive Pier Avenue Improvements redevelopment of these areas will help to enhance the quality of life in the city. Critical to the transformation of the area is achieving the appropriate mix of uses and quality of development that makes Hermosa Beach a more sustainable and livable commu- nity. From a land use point of view, there are certain types of uses that can contribute to a more sociable, publicly-spirited place and a more economically viable district. Within the downtown as a whole as well as within the core, there is a need to increase the day-time population to add life and vitality that goes beyond the typical recreationally oriented uses that have been historically attracted to the beach setting of 6 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 A diverse family-friendly downtown environment Hermosa Beach. Office development, whether on upper floors or in stand-alone buildings, is an important activity that can build economic support for local-serving retail and quality dining estab- lishments. Recent office development that caters to businesses in knowledge work fields, such as finance, real estate and infor- mation, has occurred within the city primarily within downtown along Pier Avenue. This reflects a larger trend in which knowl- edge workers are taking advantage of the flexibility afforded by communications systems for work closer to their homes and in areas offering a high quality of life. Hotel development can also help to improve the vitality and economic viability of the Downtown Core by providing for over- night stay and longer visitation. There is strong market potential for hotel development on beachfront locations which are limited within Los Angeles County. Hermosa Beach is exceptionally well positioned for upscale hotel facilities on beachfront locations within the Downtown Core. In addition, if new hotel develop- ment includes an ample lobby, restaurant, spa, and other ameni- ties, it will help to create a more sociable and attractive destina- tion that will enhance its image and identity and contribute to its sense of security. Furthermore, high quality hotel development will, as with additional office uses, also provide greater market support for quality retail and restaurant establishments. DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 7 The encouragement of office and hotel uses cannot come at the expense of creating a pedestrian oriented people place with active ground level uses on key corridors and adjacent to impor- tant public spaces. In addition, creating a more active, people- oriented place must also be pursued in conjunction with quality development that respects the scale and unique character of Hermosa Beach. To realize the potential of the Downtown Core will require the pro-active pursuit of appropriate infill develop- ment as well as public-private partnerships, implementation of public parking and streetscape improvements as well as some modifications to existing zoning. Commercial Tenanting Strategy Within the Downtown Core, the prime commercial tenanting opportunities are located along Hermosa Avenue, adjacent to Pier Plaza and on the Strand. Strategic public investment and successful development of catalyst sites in these three areas – Pier Plaza, Hermosa Avenue and the Strand frontage – could dramatically enhance the appeal, sociability and security of the Downtown Core and help transform it into a vibrant center for Hermosa businesses. Today, the quality and diversity of many existing retail establish- ments is not on par with expectations of residents or potential visi- tors from other Beach Cities. For example, the current retail tenant Examples of mixed-use buildings with office above retail 8 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 mix along Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue appears to be over- represented in the health and beauty sector - uses more typical of a neighborhood center than a retail shopping district - and are under-represented in the apparel sector, where the City exhibits significant retail leakage. As previously discussed, uses that increase the day-time population and longer stay visitation will contribute to the market support for retail development. Streetscape improve- ments and public parking can also help to enhance the appeal, convenience and attractiveness of the area. In addition, zoning modifications that eliminate on-site parking requirements will help to create greater continuity and pedestrian interest. Creating a more distinctive and well-defined retail district will help to market the area as a destination and, at the same time, attract better quality shops and restaurants. Improvements to the public realm are key to the enhancement of the image and iden- tity of the Downtown Core as a retail destination. Widened side- walks and public plazas that create space for cafes and outdoor dining can also attract additional patrons. Activities that spill out and populate the public spaces communicate that this place is worth visiting - seeing people brings people. In addition, the provision of convenient on-street parking makes retail shopping appear more accessible and attractive.

A greater concentration and diversity of quality retail activity should be encouraged, along with a focus on smaller, local cafe and eating establishments, like the Gum Tree and Java Man on Pier Avenue have. Small snack and coffee shops (25 or fewer seats) that contribute to the local character and pedestrian orientation should be permitted within the Downtown Core. Currently, discretionary review is required. Streetscape improvements help economic vitality Lack of active ground level uses along the Strand 10 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 Hermosa Avenue Streetscape Improvements Just as Pier Avenue is the gateway to the downtown district from the east, Hermosa Avenue is an important north/south gateway into the City. It traditionally served as the “main street” to the community, providing essential goods and services for the local population. Hermosa Avenue has significant regional continuity but does not present a strong sense of arrival when it traverses the downtown core. Improvements that enhance this sense of arrival and provide a stronger sense of the downtown as a district should be considered. Just as the improvements on Pier Avenue have spurred reinvest- ment and positive changes, improvements to Hermosa Avenue between 10th and 14th Streets can strengthen the economic underpinnings of this part of the Downtown Core. A concept similar to what was successfully undertaken along Pier Avenue was favorably considered by the City Council at a recent study session in reference to the improvements planned for Hermosa Avenue. This concept would involve the provision of wider 20-foot sidewalks on the sunny east side of the street, where sidewalk cafes and outdoor seating should be encouraged, the addition of street trees and intersection and median improvements, as well as diagonal parking. From a traffic point of view, the concept would allow for flexibility in operations. Within the curb-to-curb dimension of the street, there would be one wide 14-foot southbound sharrows lane with 8 feet for parking, for a total of 22 feet. If needed, this area could also accommodate two southbound moving lanes during peak periods. In the other direction, separated by a 10-foot landscaped median or turn lanes, vehicles would travel along two 11-foot northbound lanes. In addition to movement down the street, it is anticipated that the curbside lane would be used for moving in and out of the parking spaces, and the median-side lane would accommodate bicycle movement. On the east side of the street, diagonal parking would be accom- modated within a 16-foot wide area. This could be configured as head-in parking that is preferred by retail shops or as back-in parking that is preferred by bicyclists since it offers greater visi- bility of motorists for moving bicycles. The addition of diagonal parking directly adjacent to the east side of the street would provide 30 additional on-street parking spaces. Tighter traffic lanes would also have the additional benefit of calming traffic within the Downtown Core and allow it to be perceived as a destination rather than a place to move through on the way to somewhere else. Overall, the improvements would provide convenient parking that would help expand the market potential of the street, and in combination with the streetscape improvements and the widening of the sidewalk, would also provide for a more sociable pedestrian-oriented environment.

Today, it is a unique resource within the City and South Bay, offering a place for people gathering right at the threshold to the Pier, the Strand and the beach. However, when it was redesigned, it was still envisioned for vehicular movement and therefore the scale and organization of the street works well for special events and when there are crowds of people using the space. The events that are planned for Pier Plaza should continue and be encouraged fur- ther, promoting activities such as a regular farmer’s market once or twice a week, that bring residents to the area and create a greater sense that the place is not only for visitors but also for residents. At the same time, the space of the plaza needs to be rescaled and made more attractive during times when fewer people are present. It should feel like a comfortable outdoor room that works when it is full of activity and when it is not. Currently the space is 450 feet long and, with a width of 100 feet, seems vacuous. Specific recommendations to benefit the scale and structure of the street would include extending the palm trees all the way to the Strand and adding elements that will make it more attractive, including lighting, landscape and banners. Furthermore, upper story uses would not only provide additional activity but provide a better scale to this wide space and addi- tional support for the retail uses along it. A significant objective of many community groups within the City is to make the Downtown Core a stronger destination for resi- dents and families as well as for visitors and nighttime entertain- ment. Since the City controls the beach and Plaza areas west of the Strand, consideration could be given to building a new and exciting children’s playground that would serve a variety of age groups as well as adult fitness areas within view of the playground.

These improvements would not only add to the activities in Pier Plaza to the east but would also enhance public access and enjoyment of the beach and the fishing and strolling activities on the pier. The development of a bicycle facilities for repair, servicing, rental and sales, could be located on the west side of the Strand right at the entrance to the pier. This would reinforce the family biking that already takes place and the diversity and mix of activities that are part of the Pier Plaza area.

The Biltmore Hotel, which has been demolished but began as the Surf and Sand Beach Club in the 1920’s and later owned by the LA Athletic Club, is reflective of a landmark hotel that set the tone for the City. The six-story, 120-room hotel with its pool, ballroom, and rooftop setting for starlight dancing and daytime sunbathing, was the social center of Hermosa Beach for many years. Today, there continues to be a few hotels in the Downtown Core and more are planned. The Sea Sprite Motel offers the price- conscious visitor a place for a short or long stay. Each of the 40 rooms has some kitchen facilities for family visits and a pool. The more recently constructed 96-room Beach House is in fractional ownership and offers both short and long stays. It has limited common area, does not have a pool, and is not a full service hotel. Also, just beyond the primary core area on Hermosa Avenue, north of 10th Street, a 30-room luxury boutique hotel (the Clash Hotel) has been approved for construction. More recently, a critical site along the Strand and Pier Plaza, has been assembled for a hotel development and is in the process of developing specific proposals. Hotel development is one of the uses allowed in the Coastal Zone, because it is in keeping with the objectives of making the coastal resources more publicly accessible. The City’s Coastal Land Use Plan permits three-story development within a 45-foot height limit, while the City’s zoning regulations limit any develop- ment to 30 feet. However, land values and operating efficiencies within the core area are such that it is difficult to develop the kinds of ground level uses that are desired along with upper level accommodations within the City’s 30 foot height limit. In addi- tion, these height limits not only restrict the height required for successful ground level publicly-oriented uses in a multi-story configuration, but they also restrict rooftop development of P I E R P L A Z A1 3 T H S T R E E T1 1 T H S T R E E T1 0 T H S T R E E T1 4 T H S T R E E T1 4 T H C O U R T1 1 T H C O U R T1 0 T H C O U R T1 5 T H C O U R T H E R M O S A A V E N U E P A L M D R I V E M A N H A T T A N A V E N U E T H E S T R A N D Hotel Opportunity Areas DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 17 amenities and facilities which can take advantage of the significant beachfront location. Hennessey’s Tavern is an example of the kind of rooftop amenity space that could be provided in conjunc- tion with a pool deck in a new hotel. A three-story height within 30 feet is a significant constraint to the development of a quality hotel facility, particularly within the constrained parcel sizes in the Downtown Core. The introduction of additional hotel accommodations is a critical component of creating a more diverse and inviting environment for residents and visitors. To achieve the greatest benefit from hotel development within the core, the qualitative aspects of the development of the public spaces, amenities and services that are provided must be addressed. Hotels historically have been a key element in establishing the unique place-making qualities of recreational areas and making them more attractive for the community as a whole. Examples abound of landmark hotels around the country and the world that have successfully achieved these qualities. They have furthered the identity of the unique settings, making them more welcoming for everyone and providing amenities that have furthered the sociability, sense of security and hospitality that contribute to a sense of place. Yosemite is a great natural environment that everyone wants to visit, but the Ahwahnee Hotel adds hospitality, comfort and iden- tity that makes Yosemite an even more special destination. La Jolla, as a tourist destination, similarly benefits from the La Valencia Hotel, through its landmark qualities and the recreational and social activities that are open to the community. A more recent example of striking success is the role the Hotel Healdsburg in northern California played in the emergence of the Healdsburg Town Square as a center of the Wine Country. We are very familiar with the story of the transformative effect that this hotel provided to the community because of our involvement in the master planning of the downtown and the development of the project. To illustrate, when we began the master planning effort, Healdsburg had a Town Plaza that was an identifiable landmark in this small town, but many of the businesses, particularly the bars around the square, catered to a rough-neck crowd that made the area feel unsafe and unwel- coming to many people. There were many elements of the Master Plan that were recom- mended to transform the nature of the area, but most importantly was the development of a hotel directly across from the Town Square on a key publicly-owned parcel. The goals of the hotel proj- ect were to not only provide for the lodging of visitors but to create a special place that would contribute to the life on the square and become a catalyst for further retail and restaurant development. That goal was achieved in the realization of Hotel Healdsburg which 18 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 Hotel Healdsburg reinforces the small town scale of its setting and brings attractive buildings and activities that helped transform the downtown DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 19 provided an architectural quality that heightened the identity and qualities of the Wine Country setting and provided a high level of amenity and a public spiritedness. The architecture is modern, but brings in and integrates landscaping in a manner that heightens the awareness of the unique qualities of the region. It also extends this approach to the public spaces by the introduction of taste- fully selected local art that emphasizes those qualities. The Hotel Healdsburg and the unique qualities it provided contributed to making Healdsburg a key destination in the Wine Country and the Town Square the sociable heart of the community. More specifically, the Hotel Healdsburg is a 3-story, 45-foot high hotel project that engages effectively the public environment of the street and the Town Square. It provides a massing and integra- tion of public and quasi-public spaces that extend the public realm into the hotel and help to make it a more inviting place. It provides a diversity of active ground level uses, including the Dry Creek Kitchen, a fine dining establishment, with an extensive outdoor seat- ing area along the street frontage, and a number of unique small shops along the streetfront that enhance the identity and experi- ence of place. The project includes a gracious lobby and adjacent casual meeting and gathering spaces as well as other separate meeting and catered dining rooms and a spa, pool area and out- door places for relaxation. Valet parking to a public off-site parking facility is also available from an attractive and well-integrated porte- cochere that does not diminish the urban qualities of the hotel. Hotel Healdsburg amenities 20 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 The landmark La Valencia Hotel is well fitted within its retail downtown setting and provides courtyard dining for visitors and residents DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 21 Hermosa Beach is a beach community that has many different qualities than Healdsburg and the development of a hotel here needs to build on the unique qualities of this place. At the same time, there is an opportunity to learn from historical precedents and the transformative qualities that benefitted Healdsburg and interpret them more specifically for how they might be applied locally. It is important that an attitude is taken that looks to the achievement of the qualitative dimensions of place-making as of at least equal value to the achievement of the room count and yield of the hotel. There are different categories of hotels, motels and inns in Hermosa Beach at different price points that provide for a diversity of visitors to the area. What could be strength- ened, however, is the creation of a distinctive, higher quality establishment that serves the more discerning visitor and that can also become a focal point for community life. The setting of the Downtown Core right at the beach and adjacent to Pier Plaza is ideal for such an establishment. To develop a quality hotel that achieves the public purpose and the desired positive spin-off effect in the Downtown Core, there are many factors that need to be addressed and overcome. Sites are small and land assembly is not easy. The existing 30-foot height limit makes it very difficult to achieve a tall ground level that graciously provides for the public spaces of the hotel and a rooftop level that would be ideally suited for special amenities and open-air functions. On the roof level, there is a possibility of outdoor dining, a pool deck and spa facilities. Currently, occupied rooftop space is counted as part of the height of the building. If the quality of life in the city and the sociability of the Downtown Core are priorities, and a distinctive hotel that helps to further these objectives is desired, then the City needs to take a pro- active role to help achieve these goals. The prospect of redevel- opment of the Mermaid Hotel site, on the north side of Pier Plaza, has been identified, but a hotel developer and operator cannot achieve all of the public-spirited qualities and spin-off effects that are desired on their own. To achieve these qualities, a public/private partnership is required. This partnership can include assistance in providing valet parking in the existing parking structure and replacing the public park- ing that is lost by constructing a large and efficient new structure on publicly-owned land on the south side of Pier Plaza. This new parking structure will not only replace the parking, but would create opportunities for other hotel and retail ventures on that side of the plaza as well. In addition, the City has land in street rights-of-way and in parking lots that could contribute to the cre- ation of a more appropriately configured site for a quality hotel. Equally important, the City should consider taking the lead in a ballot initiative for voter approval of a height limit change to 45 feet. This increase in height would be aimed at increasing 22 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 Without adding to the number of stories, a modest increase in height can help to improve the quality of hotel development in the core DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 23 the quality of development, not the intensity nor the number of stories. In addition, it would only be allowed on a limited basis and only for specific projects that clearly demonstrate achieve- ment of public objectives related to qualitative aspects including architectural and site design, publicly oriented activities on the ground floor, rooftop amenities, etc. It is important to note that the new height limit would be consistent with current Coastal Commission policies and generally is in the same area where the existing historic Bijou Building is 45 to 50 feet in height. Parking Strategy The parking strategy is intended to encourage small, indepen- dent, local businesses in the downtown district maintain the smaller scale, and small town character and manage the parking demand fluctuations more effectively, particularly since there are surges during the summer and weekends. There are two primary aspects of the parking strategy – first, the development of a public parking supply that is publicly managed with demand pricing to help control the distribution and availability of parking. The public parking can be provided for by using in-lieu fees and parking charges to help pay for the program and a specific financing plan for these will need to be developed. New public parking structures should be located to help alleviate peak loading on thoroughfares and for better traffic management. In addition to these, convenient, short term on-street parking, like what was developed on Pier Avenue, should be encouraged on Hermosa Avenue, the other major downtown retail street. The second component of the parking strategy involves modifica- tions to the existing zoning requirements for new development in support of a pedestrian-oriented district where the continuity and quality of the pedestrian experience is given a priority and a certain amount of walking to parking facilities is part of the experi- ence of place. Public Facilities and Parking Management The provision of centralized public parking facilities in beach- front locations and downtown districts is an essential component of a successful economic development strategy. The need for additional facilities in Hermosa Beach to both intercept parking demand and provide for a successful Downtown Core has long been identified. This work effort reinforces the importance of meeting these needs and identifies two strategic locations for the placement of these parking facilities. One of these would be located in the Downtown Core on City-owned property south of Pier Plaza. This is envisioned to be similar in size and character to the existing parking structure on the north side of the Plaza. The other would be located in the Community Center and/or Civic Center and would best serve the surge requirements of the recre- ational visitor, the beach-goer and parking for special events, civic and community functions and Pier Avenue retail. It is anticipated 24 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 P I E R P L A Z A1 3 T H S T R E E T1 1 T H S T R E E T1 0 T H S T R E E T1 4 T H S T R E E T1 4 T H C O U R T1 1 T H C O U R T1 0 T H C O U R T1 5 T H C O U R T H E R M O S A A V E N U E P A L M D R I V E M A N H A T T A N A V E N U E T H E S T R A N D A Public Parking Garage is needed to the south of Pier Plaza, similar to the one previously built to the north side DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 25 that each of these structures might accommodate 300 to 400 parking spaces similar to the existing downtown parking structure. The management of public parking facilities should include demand pricing and efficient parking information and control systems that provide a more effective distribution of the available supply. The Downtown Core parking structures should provide for the required commercial and hotel development on underutilized properties and public parking for existing uses and beach visi- tors. Parking between the existing and the new parking structure within the core could be redistributed between the two facilities, depending on where development is taking place. In addition to the provision of parking structures, it is important to maintain and augment, if possible, parking along the street. This parking should be time-managed and priced to emphasize short- term convenience needs and avoid being absorbed for long-term use and by employees. Street parking communicates a friendly and convenient environment and actually can help to contribute to a pedestrian-oriented environment, especially in combination with streetscape improvements. In Hermosa Beach, the parking and streetscape improvements that were implemented on Pier Avenue demonstrate the positive effect on retail activity that can be achieved. Zoning Modifications Concerns were raised in initial discussions with developers, realtors and property owners about parking requirements in the existing Zoning Code and the deterrent that they impose upon economic vitality and the ability to maintain and further the small scale vil- lage environment of downtown Hermosa Beach. In particular, a significant concern is the effect that these requirements have on the ability to encourage office development on upper floors which would be beneficial in enhancing the daytime population and thus the market support for retail and restaurant functions. Existing parking issues and requirements in Hermosa Beach were reviewed along with those of other selected beach cities. The conclusion of this effort is that there should be a greater emphasis on how parking solutions can help to create a more attractive and accessible pedestrian-oriented district, where a greater mix and intensity of activities are desired while still accommodating beach- going peak visitor demand. The following provides a series of recommended actions that would help to encourage a more pedestrian-oriented district through changes in the Zoning Code. 1. Pier Avenue, from PCH to Hermosa Avenue and including the Community and Civic Center sites and Hermosa Avenue 26 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH • JANUARY 2014 and the Downtown Core from 10th to 14th Streets should be designated as a pedestrian-oriented district, with special incentives and provisions to minimize the impact of parking and to encourage pedestrian and bicycle mobility. 2. All parking in the pedestrian-oriented district should be provided off-site, rather than the current 25% of parking for buildings with greater than a one floor-to-area ratio (FAR). This is only currently allowed in the SPA-11 zone (Pier Avenue east of Hermosa Avenue to Valley Drive) as an incentive to conserve iconic buildings (Section17.38.550(D)). 3. There should be a reduced amount of required parking for commercial (office and retail) uses within the pedestrian- oriented district. Currently one space per 250 SF is required for these uses, however, the Coastal Commission recently provided for a reduced standard of 1/333 SF, which is more consistent with other beach communities, contingent on a parking evaluation from the City which should be undertaken. 4. There should be a reduced amount of required parking for restaurant uses within the pedestrian-oriented district. Currently, one space per 1,000 SF is required. Cities such as Redondo Beach utilizes a one space per 250 SF for pedestrian-oriented districts, which should be considered in Hermosa Beach as well. 5. Outdoor seating should be encouraged for the creation of a more sociable environment within the pedestrian oriented district. The determination of the appropriate amount of outdoor seating within the public street right-of-way should be based on lot frontage length, maintaining adequate space for pedestrian circulation and considerations related to adjacencies and public safety. These are to be determined on a case-by-case basis at a staff level by the Community Development and Public Works Director. Parking require- ments for outdoor seating should be reduced appropriately to encourage the diversity of types of establishments within the downtown district and in particular within the Downtown Core. For example, in Redondo Beach, no additional parking is required for the first 12 seats of outdoor seating. 6. Parking requirements should be reduced for mixed use build- ings on a single lot that generate parking demand during different times of the day without the need for a discretionary action by the City. There are currently a variety of conditions upon which the amount of parking reduction may be allowed or a fee paid in lieu of providing parking, but a discretionary review is required. 7. Upper level office use should be encouraged to attract a lively downtown environment and provide a greater daytime popu- lation that supports retail and restaurant uses. Parking for DOWNTOWN CORE REVITALIZATION STRATEGY 27 upper level office use should be reduced and located off-site in shared parking and public parking facilities. 8. Vehicular parking requirements should be reduced in exchange for the provision of additional bicycle parking, beyond what is already required by the City. This provision is currently limited to development along Pier Avenue. An equivalence of 4 bicycle spaces for one car space, up to 20% of the parking required for non-residential projects should be considered (which is the provision allowed in the City of Los Angeles and other cities’ zoning codes). This includes the required bicycle parking and any additional bicycle parking. 9. For an existing non-restaurant use that is converting to restau- rant use and whose parking requirements are met in common facilities within the pedestrian-oriented district, a credit against the future parking requirements should be allowed, based upon the zoning requirements of the existing use. Currently this is not allowed for some types of restaurants in the downtown district. 10. Parking requirements for commercial uses within the pedes- trian-oriented district should be allowed in common facili- ties within a quarter mile walking distance. This is currently only allowed for second floor office space as an incentive to conserve iconic buildings in SPA-11 zone along Pier Avenue. 11. Parking requirements for commercial uses within the pedes- trian-oriented district should be based on a net usable building square footage basis, that is, not including for example, bathrooms, hallways, lobbies, service, storage and mechanical rooms.
