RESOLUTION 00-60
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, TO RECOMMEND AMENDING THE HOUSING
ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN BY ADOPTING THE 2000
UPDATE TO THE HOUSING ELEMENT AND ADOPTION OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1. Pursuant to the California State Planning and Zoning Law (Chapter 3, Article
10.6), commencing with Government Code 65580, the City is required to periodically update the
Housing Element of the General Plan:
Sectiog 2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to applicable law, held a duly noticed
hearing on November 21, 2000, to consider the proposed update and revision to the Housing
Element of the General Plan, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was
presented to and considered by the Planning Commission:
Section 3. Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings:
1. The City's RHNA allocation calls for construction of 332 housing units by the year
2005. The required allocation of housing development has largely been achieved through new
development since 1998 totaling 167 units, resulting in an unmet housing need of 165 units. Of
the unmet housing need, 55 units are to be provided for very low-income household, 42 units are
to be provided for low-income households and 61 units are to be provided for moderate -income
households.
2. High land costs and the lack of available land is a constraint in meeting some of the
City's unmet housing need in the development of affordable housing.
3. The City will meet some its housing allocation through development of suitable
vacant parcels, underutilized parcels and areas that may be suitable for mixed use.
4. The 2000 Housing Element Update will not result in substantive changes to existing
Housing Element policies as new programs generally implement many of these existing policies
and the Housing Element Update is internally consistent with other elements of the General Plan.
5. Mixed use zoning is proposed for the highway corridors to accommodate affordable
housing allocation requirements.

the environment. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends
adoption of the Negative Declaration prepared for the proposed project.
