P.C. RESOLUTION 91-36
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, REGARDING THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE MAP OF
THE GENERAL PLAN FOR A PORTION OF THE "BILTMORE SITE" FROM MEDIUM
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL/RECREATION AND THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT TO THE SPECIFIC PLAN AREA TO ALLOW 30% COMMERCIAL USES
CONSISTENT WITH THE COASTAL COMMISSION DECISION, TO INSTEAD
RECOMMEND THAT THE ENTIRE "BILTMORE SITE" BE DESIGNATED FOR A
COMBINATION OF COMMERCIAL USES AND OPEN SPACE; THAT THE COASTAL
COMMISSION DECISION NOT BE ACCEPTED; AND THAT THE PROPERTY BE
CONSIDERED FOR A LAND-LEASE RATHER THAN FOR SALE TO GENERATE
REVENUE FOR PURCHASE OF OPEN SPACE AND TO KEEP THE LAND IN THE
CITY'S POSSESSION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on May
21, 1991 to receive oral and written testimony on said amendment
and made the following findings;
A. Residential use of the site is not appropriate given its key
location adjacent to the beach and within the commercial
"downtown" area;
B. The site should be considered for a combination of commercial
and open-space land uses with no residential use;
C. Since the property is owned by the City, it should not be
sold for private development without serious consideration of
options for leasing the property;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planni ng Commiss i on of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California, r ecommend s that the City Council
designate the Biltmore Site for a combination of commercial and
open space land uses; not accept the Coastal Commi ssion decision;
and that the site be cons i dered for leasing rather than for sale
to generate revenue for the purchase of open space elsewhere in
the City and to keep the land in the City's posse ss i on for future
generations.
