The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows:
ection 1. An application was filed by Mehrdad Tootonchi owner of real property at 494
Ardmore Avenue seeking to amend the Zoning Map.
Section 2, The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to
consider the application for a Zone Change on October 18, 2005, at which testimony and
evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission
Section 3. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following factual findings:
1. The requested change to R-2 will make the zoning for the subject property consistent with
the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential.
2. Surrounding properties to the north, east and south are designated Medium Density
Residential on the General Plan and Zoned R-2, with the exception of adjacent properties
immediately to the south which are not included in this request, which would remain M-1
zoned.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings pertaining to the Zone Change
1. The Zone Change will bring the subject property into consistency with the General Plan
for the City pursuant to the specific recommendation for this property in the Land Use Element
of the General Plan.
2. The subject property to be redesignated is appropriate for residential use as it is abutted
by residential uses and located in an area, which is predominantly residential in character. A
residential use of the subject properties will be more compatible to surrounding residential uses

than a potentially more intensive light manufacturing or commercial use. The residential use of
the property will provide property tax benefits and will not unduly strain city services.
3. The Planning Commission concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's
recommendation, based on their Environmental Assessment/Initial Study, that this project
will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that
the City Council amend the City's Official Zoning Map as follows:
1. Amend the Zoning Map by changing the property, as described below and shown on the
