RESOLUTION P.C. 02-10
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING AMENDMENT OF
SECTION 17.46.152 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THE FRONT
YARD REQUIREMENTS ON THROUGH LOTS BETWEEN THE STRAND AND
THE SERVICE ROAD PARALLEL TO HERMOSA AVENUE APPROXIMATELY
BETWEEN 27TH STREET AND 35T`-` STREET.
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 February 19, 2002, to
consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance regarding front yard requirements on through lots between
the Strand and the service road parallel to Hermosa Avenue between 27" Street and 35"' Street, at which
testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission.
Section 2. Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
1. There is a unique and inequitable development standard created for through lots between
the Strand and Hermosa Avenue, north of 27`1 Street, due to the requirement to provide
front yards along the Strand and Hermosa Avenue.
2. In order to maintain a uniform setback for through lots located on the service road
parallel to Hermosa Avenue from approximately 27"' Street northward, the subject lots
should be exempt from having to provide a second front yard on Hermosa Avenue and
maintain the Strand as the required front yard.
3. The subject text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the general rule set forth in Section
15061(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as there is no possibility that this modification
may have a significant effect on the environment.
`section 3. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Title 17-Zoning, be amended as follows:
1. Amend Section 17.46.152. to read as follows:
"17.46.152 Front Yard Requirements for Through Lots.
A. The required front yard on "through lots", as defined herein, shall be provided on the
street frontage where the majority of the existing dwelling units on the block are
fronting.
