From: Robert Yrigoyen <kiddyri@aol.com>
Date: Wed, May 30, 2012 at 11:24 AM
Subject: Public hearing
To: mdivir@gmail.com
We the residence of 10th St. respectfully request a public hearing to express our concerns regarding the
CUP violations occurring at the Hermosa carwash located at 1000 PCH.
Overview
In 1992 the HB carwash located at 1000 PCH was issued a CUP to operate a car wash. This CUP
contained the following conditions.
Section 1 #6- “ A chain shall be provided across the driveway
onto 10th Street to limit the use of the driveway for exiting only.”
Section 1 #11- “ The area under the canopy structure shall be
used for detailing a maximum of one (1) car at a time. Air
compressors or vacuum cleaners are permitted only if they
comply with the noise ordinance.”
Section 1 #16- “ Usage of residential streets and/or PCH for
parking employee automobiles is prohibited.
Over the last few months the car wash personnel have continually violated the CUP conditions. I have
spoken to the Manager of the car wash operations Mr. Dan Yap regarding our concerns, he has been
courteous however the cup violations continue to create a neighborhood public nuisance.
We have documented evidence to showcase our complaints as well as a petition from the neighborhood.
I have brought the substance of my complaints to city staff.
We now request an opportunity to present the facts of our cup violations case to your honorable body.
Respectfully,
Bob Yrigoyen

Honorable Chairman and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach Planning Commission June 19, 2012
SUBJECT: Text Amendment to Municipal Code Chapters 12 and 17 to Allow Portable Signs on the
Public Right-of-Way in Commercial Districts Without a Conditional Use Permit (TEXT
11-3).
Recommendation:
That the Planning Commission by Minute Order reaffirms Resolution 12-4 recommending the Council continue the
prohibition on portable signs for the reasons stated therein and First Amendment issues. Should the Council
desire to pursue allowing portable signs in the public right-of-way, the standards in Attachment 2 may be
considered.
Background/Analysis:
On May 15, 2012, the Commission directed staff to return with a discussion of portable signs.
Previously, on February 21 and March 20 the Commission addressed portable signs and adopted Resolution 12-4
recommending the Council continue the prohibition on portable signs and retail sales/display areas on the public
right-of-way due to (1) demonstrated significant impacts on aesthetics and creation of visual blight as businesses
‘push the envelope’ as they compete for customers; (2) difficulty in creating an enforceable standard defining an
aesthetic that is ‘tasteful’; (3) the City’s lack of resources to enforce regulations particularly on Friday through
Sunday; and (4) the prohibition being consistent with the policies of many similarly situated southern California
beach cities.
The Commission provided the Council a list of standards that might be appropriate, should the Council desire to
allow portable signs (Attachment 3). The Council on April 24, 2012 introduced an ordinance to allow outdoor
dining on the public right-of-way, requested the Commission to re-evaluate allowance for retail sales/displays on
the public right-of-way, and took no action regarding portable signs.
On May 15, the Commission focused on retail sales/displays on the public right-of-way in commercial zones, but
also heard comment on portable signs. Five businesses requested that displays or signage to attract customers be
allowed; the four small businesses located on Pier Avenue cited limited frontages, building configurations, and
location somewhat removed from the main pedestrian area as hindering visibility. One owner, not present at the
hearing, provided a list of rules/criteria for considering portable signs. The Commission also discussed the
desirability of consistent regulations within various commercial areas versus a customized block by block
approach to crafting regulations, determining that consistent regulations would be easier for businesses to
understand and for the City to enforce.
Analysis:
The Commission on March 20, 2012 recommended maintaining the prohibition on portable signs, but provided a
list of possible standards. Excerpts from previous staff reports indicate the purpose of portable signs is to draw
attention to the business and to let people know it is open for business. While these signs may benefit all
businesses, businesses set back from the street, lacking street frontage, and second story businesses would likely
benefit most from these signs because window displays are less visible from the street or sidewalk. Too many
signs clustered in one area may be overwhelming and the benefit may be reduced. Enforcement issues have also
been extensively addressed by the Commission.
Staff has reviewed the proposal provided by a local business owner on May 15, and previous reports, Chamber of
Commerce comments, comments by the Commission, and recent Council comments regarding retail displays, and
has prepared a revised list of possible standards, below, and summarized in Attachment 2.
2
However, there is a significant legal issue that the City must consider before deciding to lift the existing ban on
portable signs in the public right-of-way. There are first amendment rights associated with granting permission to
display signs in the public right-of-way. Generally, once the public right-of-way is opened as a forum for
businesses to communicate, the first amendment requires the City to allow all types of signs in the public right-of-
way. In other words, the City cannot allow businesses to communicate their messages in the public right-of-way
without allowing all other messages in the same place. The City may impose reasonable time, place and manner
restrictions on signs in the public right-of-way, but, it cannot regulate the content of those signs and limit the
ordinance to only allow business signs. Stated differently, to allow only commercial messages on the public
sidewalks would be an impermissible content regulation.
These considerations may have a significant bearing on whether and how the city might choose to allow portable
signs on the public right-of-way. These legal issues may also affect the standards below. The Commission has
already recommended maintaining the existing prohibition on these signs and the use of the public right-of-way as
a public forum is a very complicated area of the law. If the Commission is interested in pursuing changes to the
sign regulations, the City Attorney will research this issue further and provide a thorough legal analysis of the
implications associated with opening the public right-of-way for signs prior to Commission action.
Revised list of standards (underlined provisions are summarized in Attachment 2).
