The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order
as ! !'
Section 1. In October 2014, Sepulveda Design Center LLC (Skechers USA, Inc.)
(the "Applicant") filed an application for \Precise Development Plan 14-25 to develop a
nitilti-story otfice bUilding with subterranean parking to be located at 3001 and 3125

3125 Pacific Coast
Siectio,n 2,. The City prepared an ! for the Project pursuant to Section
06!f the -State Guidelines implementing the CaliforniaEnvironmental Quality Act
QA. The Initial Study concluded that there was substantial evidence that
Project has the potential to have significant environmental impacts. As such, the City
prepared an Environmental Impact Report for the subject project, which was certified as
indicated in P.C. Resolution 18-5 related to Design Center at 2851 and 2901

cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards, and groundwater, and the EIR provides
measureswould fully mitigateimpacts.Project impacts"! to
services and utilities are found to be less than significant and do not require
mitigation.
The Hermosa Beach component of the project would also result in construction -
related temporary, but prolonged noise impacts to nearby sensitive uses (residences
and a daycare facility). Due to the proximity of these sensitive uses, the nature of
construction equipment used and the duration of the construction phase, it is not
feasible to fully mitigate this impact to below a level of significance.
The Hermosa Beach components meet/exceed the minimum required setbacks from
cesidential uses, and a condition of approval is included requiring that the propose
bamboo plantings, which shall serve, for the life of the project, as a visual barrier
between the commercial use and the adjacent residential uses. Conditions are includ
e
to ensure the building design and operation is compatible with neighboring residenc
(see #6 below).
2. The amount of existing orproposed off-street parking in relation to actual need: To
address parking impacts during the construction period, a condition of approval is
including requiring approval by both cities of a Construction Management Parking Plan
(CMPP) that covers all project components in both cities; requiring that as conditions
change, requested addendums will need review and approval by both cities; and among
other things, the CMPP will include provisions to:
a. Prohibit parking by construction workers on adjacent streets and directing the
construction workers to available parking on the site.
b. Coordinate deliveries to reduce the potential of trucks waiting to unload for
protracted periods of time.
c. Schedule receipt of construction materials during non -peak travel periods, to
the extent possible.

3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility: The proposed office
use along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) frontage, adjacent to residential uses to
the rear, is consistent with the existing pattern of development along the PCH
corridor. Conditions of approval are included to require that no entertainment, music,
speakers, televisions or audio or visual media of any type, whether amplified or
unamplified, shall be provided on the exterior of the building, within any outdoor
seating area or open air area.
4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safe I f e
of streets serving the area: The EIR includes mitigation measures to lessen tra bdoeoe pddoondoI fil

measures that would enhance the livability of the neighborhood streets in the vicini
of the project sites after the project is built and in operation. A condition of approv
is included requiring that 12 electric bikes distributed among the project components
in both cities and are available to all Skechers employees. A condition of approval is
included reg,jrding the Executive Boilding requiring outbound traffic at the driveway
*n Vl' Street be restricted to Left Turn Out only and posted with signs and other
[thysical design criteria as directed by the City's Public Works and Community
Development Departments.
5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing
establishments in the area: Signage is not a part of this application and will require
separate permits, The proposed architecture of the office building would match the
existing Skechers offices located at 330 South Sepulveda Boulevard in Manhattan
Beach, which is approximately 120 feet northeast of the Hermosa Beach site. The
proposed building would be modern -style architecture, and the finishing on the
buildings would be exposed concrete with glass and aluminum curtain wall systems.
The proposed architecture is compatible within the existing context, and the high
quality development creates an aesthetic improvement to the area.
6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and
schools: "I"lie project is adJacent to existing residences to the west. Ingress/egress to
the F,xecutive Offliceswill be from 30"' Street, in close proximity to SR 1. To lessen
coi,igestion from cars queuing on 301h Street, (lie [JR proposes a mitigation measure
to prohibit eastbound 301t' Street left turn movements onto SR 1.
The Executive Offices will also include a maximum 200 square foot limited outdoor
seating area as an appurtenance to the ground level public -serving coffee shop, and
conditions of approval are included requiring the limited outdoor seating area to
comply with the provisions of the HBMC 17.26.050.B.6 in order to ensure
compatibility with the neighboring residences. Because the project proposes some
*irA4j*r ii-airs".
that no entertainment, music, speakers, televisions or audio or visual media of any
type, whether amplified or unamplified, shall be provided on the exterior of the
building, within any outdoor seating area or open air area.
Additionally, a condition of approval is included requiring the preparation of an
applicant -funded traffic calming study by the Cities of Hermosa Beach and
Manhattan Beach to recommend potential measures that would enhance the livability
of the neighborhood streets in the vicinity of the project sites after the project is built
and in operation.
7. Noise, odor, dust andlor vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: As
identified in the EIR, temporary construction -related noise will be mitigated to the extent
feasible by a temporary, solid noise attenuation barrier to be erected along the west edge
of the site. The barrier design and its acoustic properties will be based on a site -specific
acoustic analysis prepared by a qualified acoustic engineer approved by the City prior to
issuance of demolition, grading or construction permits. Long-term operation of the
proposed office use is not anticipated to generate significant noise impacts to the
Page 3 — Executive Office
expected to be buffered by the proposed three-story high office buildings.
However, the proposed project is adjacent to existing residences and proposes some
outdoor dining areas and open air areas. Therefore, conditions of approval are
included requiring that no entertainment, music, speakers, televisions or audio or
visual media of any type, whether amplified or unamplified, shall be provided on the
exterior of the building, within any outdoor seating area or open air area.

through Saturdays between 8 AM and 6PM.
8. Impact of the proposed use to the City's infrastructure, andlor services: The proposed
preliminary design has been reviewed and conceptually approved by the City's Fire
and Police. Conditions of approval are included requiring the applicant to address
impacts to the City's streets, utilities and other infrastructure and as such, the project
is not anticipated to have negative impacts to the City's infrastructure and/or services.
9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative
terms: The EIR addresses impacts of development and long-term use of a new Design
Center with Executive Offices in Hermosa Beach and two proposed office buildings
in Manhattan Beach. The environmental analysis identifies the need to mitigate
potential impacts related to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources,
geology and soils, hazards, and groundwater, and the EIR provides feasible measures
that would fully mitigate these impacts. Project impacts related to aesthetics,
greenhouse gas emissions, hydrology and water quality, land use, public services and
utilities are found to be less than significant and do not require mitigation.
Impacts to seven intersections along SR I (Pacific Coast Highway/Sepulveda
Boulevard) are found to be significant and while mitigation has been incorporated, no
feasible mitigation is available to reduce the impacts to below a level of significance.
Therefore, these impacts are identified as significant and unavoidable. Additionally,
three intersections along SR 1 would be adversely impacted during the construction
phase. This temporary impact cannot be mitigated and is significant and unavoidable.
The Hermosa Beach component of the project would also result in construction -
related temporary, but prolonged noise impacts to nearby sensitive uses (residences
and a daycare facility). Due to the proximity of these sensitive uses, the nature of
construction equipment used and the duration of the construction phase, it is not
feasible to fully mitigate this impact to below a level of significance.
The EIR identifies certain impacts that have been identified as unavoidably
significant and includes certain mitigation measures that may be infeasible. City of

whether the project's benefits outweigh its unavoidable environmental impacts
(which include temporary and long-term transportation/circulation impacts and
temporary construction -related noise impacts). If the project benefits are found to
outweigh these impacts, decision makers will need to adopt a Statement of Overriding
Considerations for these impacts. The EIR identifies a number of physical
improvements that would partially mitigate the project's transportation impacts, but
even with these mitigation measures, the project's impact cannot be reduced to below
a level of significance at all study intersections.
Flidditional findings related to the mitigation measures and a Statement ot Wveffffi_M
Considerations are included as Exhibit A to Resolution 18-5 related to Design Center
at 2851 and 2901 Pacific Coast Highway.

including the provisions of the Economic Element as it pertains to the Pacific Coast
Highway Commercial Corridor, and the 1994 Land Use Element as it pertains to the
Commercial Corridor Land Use designation to:
I . Minimize conflicts between nonresidential land uses and residential properties by
providing the required setbacks from residential; orienting/limiting building
ingress/egress points away from residences; providing for the life of the project a
visual screen of bamboo plantings between the offices and the existing residences;
and prohibiting outdoor dining areas, open air areas or any building exterior areas
from providing entertainment, music, speakers, televisions or audio or visual media of
any type, whether amplified or unamplified.
2. Promote the establishment and improvement of commercial enterprises which
contribute to the vitality and diversity of the City's commercial base by becoming the
City's largest employer, introducing 655 new employees (430 in the Hermosa Beach
component and 255 in the Manhattan Beach components), who will be encouraged to
stimulate the local the local economies by: utilizing the Skechers lunchtime shuttle to
frequent local businesses; patronizing local businesses as they commute through the
cities; relocating their residences in close proximity to this employment center and
thereby encourage their household members to further stimulate the local economy,
and bringing visitors to the area for the twice -yearly global sales conferences.
3. Protect surrounding residential neighborhoods from adverse environmental impacts
through implementation of the mitigation measures set forth in the Final EIR and
implementation of the recommended conditions of approval.
4. Encourage community participation in significant discretionary land use decisions by
following the public participation requirements set forth in CEQA and the Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code.
5. Ensure that future development will not encroach on or diminish public open spaces,
public views, or unique natural resources by providing environmental analysis
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

This project is unique in that it was processed simultaneously with the City's update to its
General Plan. The project was already well advanced when the City's 2017 General Plan
(PLAN Hermosa) was adopted August 22, 2017 and the City determined that the project
was not subject to the new General Plan; nevertheless, the land use designation for the
project location remains the same type of commercial designation (with an updated
name) under PLAN Hermosa (and as explained in the Statement of Overriding
considerations, the project does not impede the City's ability to meet its new long-term
land use vision for the City.
