P.C. RESOLUTION 02-55
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT
FOR ON -SALE GENERAL ALCOHOL, LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT, EXTENSION OF HOURS, AND
ALTERATIONS TO AN EXISTING RESTAURANT TO
INCLUDE A DANCE FLOOR FOR 1100 THE STRAND,
LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 1-4, BLOCK 12,
HERMOSA BEACH TRACT
Sector l . An application was filed by Peter Mangurian, seeking amendment to an
existing conditional use permit to allow on -sale alcohol; live entertainment; a take-out food
service window; extended hours of operation to 2:00 A.M. and alterations to the floor plan to
include a dance floor in conjunction with an existing restaurant.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application to amend the Conditional Use Permit on December 4, 2002, 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 business is currently operating under the terms of a Conditional Use Permit,
as amended, approved in 1989, for on -sale beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant.
2. The property is zoned C-2, with commercially zoned property to the north and
immediately to the south, and public parking lot located to the east. The predominant uses to the
south are residential.
3. In 1993, the City Council approved, on appeal, a Conditional Use Permit for live
entertainment, On -sale General Alcohol, and a dance floor. This permit was not executed and
has now expired.
Section 4 Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings pertaining to the application to amend the Conditional Use
Permit:
1. The site is zoned C-2, and its location south of the downtown core area within
close proximity to residential uses to the south is not suitable for the proposed use with the
proposed amendment for live entertainment, on -sale general alcohol and a dance floor, and
extended hours. These changes will increase noise levels to where they cannot be satisfactorily
mitigated given that entertainment would be located within a glass patio enclosure which is one
half block from residential land uses. Further the change will extend the hours of the business
to later hours in the evening when noise is a greater concern to surrounding residents.

2. The proposed take-out window is not suitable because of the potential conflict
with pedestrian and bicycle traffic along the Strand, and is not necessary as take-out orders can
easily be accommodated inside the restaurant.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby denies the
requested amendments to the Conditional Use Permit.
Section 6. Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6 any legal
challenge to the decision of the Planning Commission, after a formal appeal to the City Council,
must be made within 90 days after the final decision by the City Council,
