The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 11. An application was filed by Michael Mulligan owner in escrow of real
property at 603 First Place and 112-142 Ardmore Avenue seeking to amend the Zoning Map.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to
consider the application for a Zone Change on March 21, 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 requested change to R-2 will make the zoning for the subject property consistent
with the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential.
2. Surrounding properties to the east, north and south are designated Medium Density
Residential on the General Plan and Zoned R-2, with the exception of one adjacent lot
immediately to the north which is not included in this request, which would remain M-1 zoned.
Properties to the west are designation Low Density Residential, and zoned R-1.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings pertaining to the Zone Change
The Zone Change will bring the subject property into consistency with the General Plan
for the City.

residential use of the subject properties will be more compatible to surrounding residential uses
than a potentially more intensive light manufacturing or commercial use. The residential use of
the property will provide property tax benefits and will not unduly strain city services.
3. The Planning Commission concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's
recommendation, based on their Environmental Assessment/Initial Study, that this project
will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that
the City Council amend the City's Official Zoning Mate as follows:
1. Amend the loving Map by changing the properties, as described below and shown on the
attached male, from M-1 (Light. Manut,acturing) to R-2 (Two -Family Residential):
603 First Place and 112-138 Ardmore Avenue, legally described as lots 106 through 110
inclusive, Walter Ransom Co's Venable Place.
