A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF HERMOSA BEACH DENYING
A REQUEST FOR CHANGE OF ZONE AT 2400 BLOCK OF PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission of Hermosa Beach, at a public hearing
held September 11, 1973, considered the request of Wallace and Malorrus for
a change of land use zone from C-3 to R•3 er R•3 potential on lots 1 through
10 and 22, 23, and 24 of block 2 Mont Mar ie Tract, located on t he west side
of Pacific Coast Hwy between 24th Street and 24th Place; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing testimony was received both for and against
the proposed change; and
WHEREAS, the proponents stated that in their opinion, no feasible commer-
cial use existed for the site, and the proposed use represented the highest
and best use; and
WHEREAS, the opponents stated that the proposed zone and uses allowed would
result in increased traffic burden on 24th Street and 2li-th Place, that high
density residential use would be less desirable than commercial developments,
that high density residential use would result in over crowding the neighbor-
hood; and
WHEREAs, after due consideration, it is the opinion of the Conunission that
a real need for additional R-3 zoned property in this area has not been demon-
strated, that the impracticability of use of the site as zoned has not been
established, that the potential imposition of vehicle and resident crowding
resulting from R-3 zone would appear to be detrimental to the neighborhood;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Planning Commission of Hermosa
Beach hereby denies the subject request based on the findings that:
VOTE:
1. There is no demonstrated need for additional R-3 zoned property at
this location.
2. R-3 type development would not be feasible without dependence on
use of substandard single family streets for ingress and egress.
3. R-3 type development would be materially detrimental to the immed•
iate neighborhood.
