P.C. RESOLUTION 03-41
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO
RECOMMEND A ZONE CHANGE FROM M-1 (LIGHT
MANUFACTURING) TO R-2 (TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL)
AND ADOPTION OF A MITIGATED ENVIRONMENTAL
NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 603 3" STREET (ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
THIRD STREET AND ARDMORE AVENUE) LEGALLY
DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF LOTS 44, 45 & 46, WALTER
RANSOM CO'S VENABLE PLACE
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Susan Scott owner of real property at 603 3Td
Street 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 July 15, and August 19, 2003 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 one adjacent lot
immediately to the north which is not included in this request, which would remain M-1 zoned.
Properties to the west are designation Low Density Residential, and zoned R-1.
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 Land Use
Map of the City's 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 4. 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 properties, as described below and shown on the
attached map, from M-1 (Light Manufacturing) to R-2 (Two -Family Residential):
603 Third Street, legally described as a portion of lots 44, 45, and 46 Walter Ransom Co's
Venable Place.
