Section 4. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission makes t
following findings pertaining to the application for the Conditional Use Permit amendment and Preci
Development Plan pursuant to the combined criteria in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMI
Sections 17.40 and 17.58 and evaluation of project compliance with the C-3 development standarl
pursuant to HBMC Section 17.26.050:
1. Distancefrom existing residential uses (in relation to negative effects);
A 64-unit residential condominium is located immediately east of the subject property at 2411
Prospect Ave. and additional low density residential uses are located southeast of the subject site
behind the 2420 PCH church building. Pursuant to HBMC Section 8.24.040, the City's Noise
Ordinance restricts commercial activities, band rehearsals, and similar noise producing activities
that are plainly audible from a residential dwelling unit's property line from 10: 00 p.m. to 8: 00
a.m. daily. The applicant proposes indoor operating hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily.
Conditions of approval include that the project remain in substantial conformance with the
proposed church operating days, hours, services and number of attendees and church employees as
detailed in the updated Parking Analysis, dated May 3, 2018; that all events and activities be fully
contained within the building; all doors and windows shall be ftilly closed when amplified sound is
projected. The proposed building is designed with the customer entrance/exits on the northwest
side of the building, as well as a terrace with ancillary outdoor seating along the west PCH
frontage, both of which are oriented away from nearby residential uses. Should the church operate
in violation of the CUP, the Planning Commission is authorized by the HBMC to review the CUP.
While a commercial building adjacent to a residential zone must provide a minimum 8-foot setback
with an additional 2 feet for each story over the first on the rear and side yard areas, existing
buildings with non -conforming setbacks are allowed to remain. However, all new construction
must conform to new requirements. The east (rear) and south (side) of the existing building is
adjacent to a residential zone.. Because modifications are proposed to the rear (east elevation) of
the building, a 12-foot building setback is required on all floor levels at the rear portion of the
building. The proposal is to maintain the existing non -conforming building setback at the south
side of the building. Additionally, pursuant to HBMC requirements, the required rear and/or side
yard areas adjacent to residential zones will be landscaped (including an automatic watering
system) with 24 inch box size Bottle trees, Golden Goddess Bamboo, Bush Lilly, Blue Oat Grass
and Carpet Bugle.
Lighting will be installed around the building and will be required to be downcast so to not disturb
neighboring residential uses. The project includes a condition to require lighting be downcast and
be non -disruptive to nearby uses. Lighting shall conform to HBMC Section 17.44.160(C).
F'. The amount of existing orproposed off-street parking (faci s) in relation to actual need (and
its distancefrom the proposed
The applicant proposes a shared parking approach with the subject property at 2420 PCH as well
surrounding applicant -owned properties at 2306, 25 10 PCH and 950 Artesia Blvd to provide a tot
aggregate of 359 on -site parking spaces, and submitted a Parking Analysis prepared by a qualifie ti
traffic/parking consultant, which was peer -reviewed by the City's traffic/parking consultant. The
City's consultant concurred with the conclusion of the Parking Analysis which indicates that the
shared parking approach with a total aggregate of 3 5 9 on -site parking spaces provided by the
Page 2 - CUP 17-4 & PDP 17-11
aforementioned properties is adequate to support the peak weekday (318 spaces) and peak weekend
(341) parking demand. Parking at 2306-2510 PCH and 950 Artesia Blvd. is internally connected
so thIt people can move from one shared parking lot to another without re -accessing the public
streets. The applicant has acknowledged an easement whereby 2200 Pacific Coast Highway may
use 25 to 40 spaces at 2420 Pacc Coast Highway Monday through Friday from 7am to 6pm.
Even if those spaces are used, parking is adequate as shown by the Parking Study because there
would be a surplus of parking of at least 113 spaces during that time period. A proposed
3. Location of and distance to churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds;
Churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds are considered sensitive receptors. These are
areas where the occupants are more susceptible than the general public to adverse effects of
exposure to toxic chemicals, pesticides, other pollutants/contaminants, and noise, Journey of Faith
Christian Church and Mira Costa High School are located approximately 500 feet northeast of the
subject site. Hope Chapel's operation does not involve toxic chemicals, pesticides, other
pollutants/contaminants. Noise from the church's operations will be contained within the fully
enclosed building. Therefore, adverse impacts are not anticipated.
4. The combination of uses proposed, (as they relate to compatibility);
The subject site is located adjacent to other Hope Chapel church owned and operated buildings
which include the approximately 10,000 sq. ft. church administration office building at 2306 PCH,
the approximately 30,000 sq. ft. Lazy Acres market building at 25 10 PCH, and the approximately
15,000 sq. ft. church annex building at 950 Artesia Blvd. Close proximity to these complementary
uses facilitates expansion of church related uses due to the ability to share parking facilities with
the adjacent buildings.
5. Precautions taken by the owner or operator of the proposed establishment to assure the
compatibility of the use with surrounding uses;
New permeable paving will be provided as necessary for on -site water retention and treatment
pursuant to the City's Low Impact Development standards. An ADA compliant ramp will be
installed leading from the PCH sidewalk to the main entrance. The existing retaining wall which
directly abuts the PCH sidewalk is proposed to be stepped back approximately 30" with a
landscaped planter to provide a more pedestrian oriented frontage along the PCH frontage. The
screened trash enclosure is proposed to be located within the parking structure at the northeast
comer of the ground floor level.
6. The relationship of the estimatedl(proposed business) generated traffic volume and the capacity
(size) and safety of streets serving the area;
A Traffic Impact Report was prepared by the applicant's traffic engineering consultant, peer
reviewed and accepted by the City, and approved by the Planning Commission on April 18, 2017.
It addressed conversion of the church youth center to the now Lazy Acres supermarket at 25 10
PCH, assessed a potential future renovation/expansion at the Hope Chapel Church building located
It 2420 PCH, and conversion of a 15,000 sq. ft. building at 950 Artesia Blvd., currently occupied
by general office uses, to church annex/offices.
The applicant supplied a Traffic Impact Analysis Addendum, dated March 6, 2018, to assess
la,
geared towards children and young adults) uses within the annex building located at 950 Artesia
It'lvd. The addendum was peer reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer who confirmed that the
changes in use would not result in any significant impacts from traffic generated by the project,
-ither during weekdays or on Sundays (TJW Engineering, March 2018).
Access to Hope Chapel is via two shared driveways on the east side of PCH for northbound traffic
and three shared driveways on the south side of Artesia Blvd. Both PCH and Artesia Blvd are
commercial corridors with high traffic volumes and are capable of accommodating the expected
traffic demand.
The Traffic Impact Analysis identifies that new traffic generated by the project will not
significantly degrade the level of service at local intersections. Nor will the project's traffic
adversely affect any congestion management program (CMP) intersections or otherwise conflict
with the Los Angeles County CMP (TJW Engineering, March 2018). The project will not conflict
with plans, policies or ordinances related to other modes of transportation (mass transit, pedestrian,
bicycle). It will not alter or obstruct existing or planned bike paths. Nor will it alter or impede
access to mass transit facilities. The project will not introduce any hazards to mobility, nor will it
impact emergency access to the site.
7. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing
establishments in the area;
The applicant proposes alterations to all sides of the building fagade to provide a modem urban
architectural design, which will be in keeping with surrounding recently remodeled properties, such
as Hotel Hermosa and the Lazy Acres Natural Market (currently under construction) . Architectural
treatment and design elements include a two-story open and glassy entry lobby, glass guardrails
surrounding the front terrace, installation of light grey and white concrete and tile, white stucco,
vertical shading fins, skylights and daylights to add natural lighting to the building, roof top
mechanical screening and new windows and doors.

8. The number of similar establishments or uses within closeproximity to theproposed
establishment,
Journey of Faith Christian Church on Artesia Boulevard in Manhattan Beach is the nearest church
use, approximately 500 feet northeast from the Hope Chapel site. Due to its location on the
opposite side of Artesia Boulevard, a major arterial road, the fact that both churches have been in
operation at these locations for many years, and the overflow parking available to Hope Chapel on
its adjoining properties, impacts associated with concentration of similar establishments are not
anticipated.
9. )Wuilding and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools;
The proposal includes maintaining existing vehicular access points to the site provided by three
curb cuts along PCH and four curb cuts along Artesia Blvd. These multiple vehicular
ingress/egress points limit impacts to street traffic on PCH and Artesia Blvd. Traffic patterns will
be oriented towards the north and west side of the lot where it is least impactful to nearby
residences. The proposed project does not include alterations to existing traffic patterns on and
around the site as detailed under Criteria 6 above. No impacts are anticipated.

10. Noise, odor, dust andlor vibration that may be generated by the proposed use;
The proposed convention hall/auditorium use is enclosed and located along the PCH and Artesia
Blvd. intersection, a noise -dominated commercial comer, it is not anticipated that other nearby
commercial uses, including offices and commercial center would be affected. Conditions of
approval are included in the draft resolution that require: noise emanating from the property shall
be within the limitations prescribed by the City's Noise Ordinance; exterior doors and windows
shall remain closed during any incidental live entertainment; the building shall be equipped with air
conditioning to maximize sound proofing; and management shall be responsible for maintaining
music/entertaimnent volumes at reasonable levels. The sanctuary room with stage, audio booth and
rehearsal room are located on the main/first floor level and at the center of the church and away
from windows and doors. Therefore, noise and vibration impacts to the nearest sensitive receptors
(residential uses) are not anticipated with the proposed expansion and floor plan modifications.
Should noise issues occur, remedies include, but are not limited to, cessation of amplified sound,
further limitation on hours, and/or an acoustical study to determine appropriate mitigations such as
installation of sound proof materials.
Additional vehicular trips generated by the proposed facility expansion will not be great enough to
result in a substantial increase in roadway noise. Noise from future activities at the renovated
building will not be greater than current conditions. The short duration of noise events generated
during construction will temporarily result in increased ambient noise levels, but will not
;igncanthi im-y-act the ambient noise environment over the 11nF_w&w.ww6"9, ,
time. Compliance with the City's Noise Ordinance, will effectively ensure that the project does not
exceed adopted standards and successfully avoids significant noise impacts.
11. Impact of the proposed use to the city's infrastructure, andlor services;
The existing site has available utilities and services. The proposed expansion places additional
demand on utilities, The Fire Department has provided a condition of approval stating that the
applicant shall demonstrate through a Will Serve letter from CalWater, or other solution prepar
by a registered engineer, that the water system shall provide the equivalent of 3,250 gpm. The le
following improvements must be completed as part of the project: water main upgrades,
installation of an on -site looped fire line and/or installation of a booster pump system for fire
sprinkler system. If the City determines that a booster pump is required, it shall be located belo
grade within an enclosed room. The site has historically operated as a church, and despite the
proposed church expansion demanding additional utilities and services to the site when compar
to the existing use, the anticipated increase in demand is anticipated to be minimal.
12. Will the establishment contribute to a concentration of similar outlets in the area;
The proposed church expansion will not contribute to a concentration of church uses in the area as the
subject site is an addition and remodel to the existing church use located at 2420 PCH. No impacts are
anticipated.
13. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms;
Because the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act,
meeting all of the criteria for Infill Development Projects defined in CEQA Section 15332,
environmental mitigation measures are not required. However, the proposed resolution of approval
contains standard conditions of approval to ensure compliance with the zoning code and PLAN
Hermosa to ensure that the project will be compatible and not result in any significant
environmental impacts.
14. Other considerations that, in thejudgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure
compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the city as a whole.
The proposal includes improvements to existing landscaping and driveway/walkway improvements
at the PCH street frontage.
