RESOLUTION P.C. 01-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING AMENDING SECTION
17.46.130C OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THE
REQUIREMENT FOR A BUILDING PERMIT FOR WALLS AND FENCES
FROM 36 INCHES OR MORE IN HEIGHT TO 42 INCHES OR MORE IN
HEIGHT.
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 September 18, 2001, to
consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance regarding the height of fences requiring a Building Permit,
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. The Zoning Ordinance allows walls/fences a maximum of 42 inches in height in the front
setback of residentially zoned property.
2. Requiring a building permit for walls/fences 42 inches or more in height will curtail the
proliferation of walls/fences over the maximum of 42 inches in the front setback of
residentially zoned property.
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 Chapter 17.46, Section 17.46.130C. pertaining to building permit requirement, as
follows:
"No fence or wall4hrev-fGt 42 inches or greater in height shall be constructed
without first obtaining a building permit.
