The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order
as follows:
Section 1. The City of Hermosa Beach initiated an application for an amendment to the
General Plan Land Use Map from GC (General Commercial) to OS (Open Space) and rezone
from C-2 (Restricted Commercial) to OS (Open Space) on two parcels totaling 6685+ square feet
owned by the City of Hermosa Beach and currently occupied by City Police and Fire Department
operations and Friends of the Library, including 1309 Bard Street, located to the rear of the Civic
Center, on the west side of Bard Street adjacent to the City of Hermosa Beach employee parking
lot (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 4187-020-905 and 4187-020-906). (GP 15-2, ZON 15-1)
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the subject application on April 21, 2015, at which time testimony and evidence, both
written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. The proposed General Plan Amendment and rezoning is Categorically
Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15322 because the project conforms General Plan and Zoning designations with land
uses on the parcels that have existed for over a decade within existing buildings which will not
be expanded or materially altered; the site is an existing urbanized site of less than one acre; the
amendments are otherwise consistent with the intent of the proposed General Plan and Zoning
designations; the amendments would not result in significant effects to traffic noise, air quality,
or water quality; the site currently exhibits adequate utilities and public services; and therefore
no impacts will occur.
Section 4. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following factual findings:
1. The parcels are designated GC (General Commercial) on the General Plan Land Use Map
and are zoned C-2 (Restricted Commercial).
2. The subject lots are owned by the City and have been and will continue to be occupied by
Police and Fire Department operations and the Friends of the Library, and the redesignations will
conform land uses and designations and provide for the orderly development of the City.
