P.C. RESOLUTION 03-53
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PARKING PLAN
FOR A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR MASSAGE AND OTHER SPA
RELATED TRAINING WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY ADDITIONAL
PARKING AT 1137 AVIATION BOULEVARD IN THE SHOPPING
CENTER AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF PROSPECT AVENUE AND
AVIATION BOULEVARD LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF
LOT 7, BLOCK 88, SECOND ADDITION TO HERMOSA BEACH TRACT
Section 1. An application was filed by The Southern California College of Holistic
Health, seeking approval to open a vocational school in an existing 1,100 square foot
commercial space within a Shopping Center requiring a Parking Plan, pursuant to Section
17.44.220 of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow the change of use from retail/commercial service
to school use without additional parking.
Section 22. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application for a Parking Plan on September 16, 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. Section 17.44.220 of the Zoning Ordinance, Consolidated Off -Street Parking, allows
the Planning Commission to reduce the required parking for each individual use and base the
parking requirement on 1 space per 250 square feet when parking is consolidated in retail
shopping centers of over 10,000 square feet, subject to approval of a Parking Plan;
2. The subject Shopping Center contains 47,800 square feet of various commercial
uses, and the consolidated parking area consists of 191 parking spaces, yielding a ratio of 1
space per 250 square feet;
3. The site is zoned General Commercial (C-3) allowing a variety of commercial uses.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes
the following findings pertaining to the Parking Plan application:
1. The parking demand resulting from change of use of a small portion of the
shopping center to a part time school use can be absorbed in the large parking facility that
exists at the shopping center;
2. Calculating parking requirements for the proposed use within a large shopping
center at 1 per 250 square feet rather than cumulatively for each and every use is acceptable
under the terms of Section 17.44.220, Consolidated Off -Street Parking, as the shopping center
contains a mix of uses with varying peak parking demand times, and the proposed project
results in only a small percentage increase in the proportion of commercial space used for

school and restaurant purposes, resulting in a total percentage of more intensified uses of
approximately 16%;
3. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15303c of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the
requested amendment to the Parking Plan, subject to the following Conditions of Approval:

submitted plans received and reviewed by the Commission at their meeting of January

owners of the property involved have filed at the office of the Planning Division of the
Community Development Department their affidavits stating that they are aware of, and agree
to accept, all of the conditions of this grant.
Each of the above conditions is separately enforced, and if one of the conditions of approval is
found to be invalid by a court of law, all the other conditions shall remain valid and
enforceable.

employees from any claim, action, or proceeding against the City or its agents, officers, or

notify the permittee of any claim, action, or proceeding and the City shall cooperate fully in the

responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless the City.
The permittee shall reimburse the City for any court and attorney's fees which the City may be
required to pay as a result of any claim or action brought against the City because of this grant.
Although the permittee is the real party in interest in an action, the City may, at its sole
discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of the action, but such participation
shall not relieve the permittee of any obligation under this condition.
The subject property shall be developed, maintained and operated in full compliance with the
