A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH TO RECOMMEND
AMENDING THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
BY ADDING SECTIONS 17.50.080.A.6 AND 17.50.080.A.7
REGARDING PROHIBITED SIGNS
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve as
follows:
Section 1. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on January
August 16, 2005, to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to prohibited signs,
to prohibit lewd, obscene, and/or discriminatory text or graphics on signs.
Section 2. Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings:
1. The recent adoption of a substitution clause in the sign ordinance to allow
the substitution of text and graphics on commercial signs did not address lewd, obscene or
potentially discriminatory text and graphics.
2. The proposed text amendment will clearly prohibit such inappropriate
signage.
Section 3. The Planning Commission recommends that Title 17, Chapter
17.50 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code be amended by adding thereto new
subsections 6 and 7 to Section 17.50.080.A. to read as follows:
"6. Lewd, obscene or offensive signs containing statements, words, pictures or
graphic representations of an obscene or indecent character that are offensive to the
public morals and do not have serious literary, artistic, or scientific value.
7. Signs that display a message or graphic representation that discriminates
against persons based on race, gender, age, national origin, or any other characteristic
protected by federal or State laws."
