RESOLUTION P.C. 00-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO RECOMMEND
AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE
DEFINITION OF LOT COVERAGE
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 15, 2000,
to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to amend and clarify the definition of "lot coverage."
Section 2. Based on the evidence considered at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
1. The definition of lot coverage is somewhat ambiguous, allowing for differing
perceptions of "footprint of the building" and "grade," which leads to different conclusions as to what
part of the building and accessory structures are considered in the maximum lot coverage.
Section 3. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Title 17-Zoning, be amended as follows:
Amend the definition of "lot coverage" as contained in Section 17.04.040 to read as
follows:
"Lot coverage" includes the footprint of all buildings on the site (footprint is the area of
the building located on a foundation); cantilevers projecting from the building; the area
covered by appurtenant structures such as decks and stairs if higher than 30 inches above
grade as defined herein for determining building height; and accessory buildings such as
garages, storage sheds, batthouses, etc.
Exceptions, not to be included when calculating lot coverage are: architectural
projections; eaves; open and unenclosed balconies that project five feet or less from the
face of the building; non-structural stairs, patios, walkways, and planters which establish
finished grade; and fences and walls."
