A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO DENY A
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FROM COMMERCIAL
CORRIDOR (CC) TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND
A ZONE CHANGE FROM SPECIFIC PLAN AREA 7 (S.P.A. 7)
TO LIMITE MULTI -FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-211) FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 822 6TH STREET AND LEGALLY
DESCRIBED AS THE SOUTHWEST 40 FEET OF LOTS 11, 12,
AND 13, CAMINO REAL TRACT
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Susan Licata owner of property at 822 6th Street
seeking to amend the General Plan Map and the Zoning Map for the subject property.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to
consider the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on December 6, 2000,
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 property is designated Commercial Corridor on the General Plan Map, and S.P.A. 7
(Commercial Specific Plan Area) on the official City Zoning Map as a result of the Multi -Use
Corridor study in 1989. The S.P.A. 7 zoning for the site allows commercial expansion of P.C.H.
fronting commercial property but does not permit a free-standing commercial use with frontage
on 4th Street. It also allows continuation of the existing single-family residential use (including
expansion or reconstruction into a much larger dwelling).
2. The requested change will reduce the depth of the commercial designated property, as
measured from P.C.H. westward, from 160 feet to 120 feet, and replace the commercial
designations on the subject property to allow residential development for up to two units
consistent with the Medium Density Residential classification of the General Plan and the R-213
Zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The property at 822 6th Street has been in continuing use as a single-family residential
use since the 1930's. It was changed from a designation of Multi -Use Corridor of the General
Plan, and R-2 two-family residential with a commercial potential overlay to Commercial
Corridor and S.P.A. 7 in 1989.
4. The adjacent property to the north is designated on the General Plan and Zoning Maps for
commercial purposes to a depth of 120 feet, and to the south to the same depth as the subject
property of 160 feet.
5. Surrounding property to the north and east is designated Medium Density Residential on the
General Plan and Zoned R-213, which allows residential development up to a density of 24 units per

acre, and is currently developed with a mix of single and multi -family uses. Adjacent property to
the south is developed and designated commercially.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings pertaining to the General Plan Amendment:
1. The proposed amendment to the General Plan Map to reduce the depth of the
Commercial Corridor designation from 160 feet to 120 feet, is not in the best interest of the City
with respect to long-term land use and development of the Pacific Coast Highway Commercial
Corridor.
2. The General Plan Map accurately depicts the appropriate commercial depth for long-
term land use and development of the Pacific Coast Highway corridor at this segment of the
corridor and is at a consistent depth for the block between 5"' and 6" Street.
3. Reducing the potential depth for commercial development would preclude the
opportunity for new commercial activity or the expansion of existing commercial along the subject
segment of the P.C.H., and will reduce the already limited opportunities for new and/or expanded
commercialuses to locate along Pacific Coast Highway within the boundaries of Hermosa Beach.
,Section 6. Based on the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby denies the
requested General Plan Amendment.
Section 7. By virtue of the denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment, it would be
contrary to State Law to approve the Zone Change because such a change it would render the
Zoning designation inconsistent with the General Plan designation. Therefore, the Zone Change is
hereby denied.
