This report was prepared in accordance with our proposal dated August 8, 1989; and addresses only "geotechnical" (foundation) considerations. The proposed site is not within a currently designated Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. However, the Palos Verdes fault approaches to within 2 miles of the site (offshore). Other nearby faults include the Newport -Inglewood fault inland from the site. Significant groundshaking is anticipated at the site, and the site is also susceptible to tsunami, as is most of the Hermosa Beach shoreline. We recommend that the structure be designed to resist seismic shaking as discussed in this report. The proposed hotel can be founded either on conventional spread footings or on a mat foundation which will be at an elevation of approximately 35 feet below existing grade (25 to 30 feet below groundwater). Due to the depth of this structure-tre1ovv'"groundwater, dewatering and excavation support will be an important consideration during construction. Site sands were tested and found to be relatively permeable based on both field and laboratory testing. Significant quantities of groundwater will have to be pumped to adequately dewater the A Whoily Owned Subsidiary of Tho C,nvorca Prn!eccinnai Group 9 Hermosa Beach Investment Company CCW Project No. 89-31-359-01 September 26, 1990 Page 2 hotel excavation. We understand a system of soldier piles and lagging with either crossbiacing and/or tie -backs is currently proposed. Dewatering will • occur below and beyond the shoring such that the shoring will not have to resist,= hydrostatic, pressures. This will cause some settlement of the ground directly 3 ` adjacent to the shoring. The anticipated settlement, and shoring and dewatering scheme will be addressed in greater detail in a separate report. Due to. the relatively permeable nature of the site soils and the relatively high groundwater level, it is recommended to design the subterranean structure to be watertight and to resist hydrostatic uplift and lateral pressures. This will eliminate the need for on-going dewatering of the site. Also, Ion -term dewatering may present a Iiabil , both environmental) and due t for possiit a ubsi ence aroundfie hotel.

Nominations for the award may be made by citizens, City Council Members, department heads and other employees. From the nomina- tions, the Management Team selects the award recipient(s). For the third quarter of Fiscal Year 90-91 (January/March) the Management Team, after considering the nominations, selected the following outstanding employees for recognition: Mary Hull, Secretary: Mary has been with the City since February 1989 in her current position as "Pool" secretary. Mary has clearly demonstrated her value to all City Hall Departments in her willingness to tackle any and all assignments, plus meeting countless deadlines. Most recently Mary assumed the respon- sibilities of the Secretary to the City Manager while Laurie Duke was on medical leave. During that three month temporary assign- ment, Mary was called upon to prepare the Council Agenda, coordi- nate submittal of the various department's agenda items, maintain the City Manager's schedule, prepare City Manager and City Coun- cil correspondence; field all calls to the City Manager's office; and attend to the numerous other "unscheduled" demands which oc- cur daily. Mary rose to the occasion and performed the duties of the position in a most professional manner and was able to main- tain her good humor through it all. Mary is being honored for her action in this particular time of need. Police Officer Tom Thompson: Officer Thompson has been with the City since 1978 and has consistently maintained a high level of performance. In addition to professionally performing his regu- larly assigned duties as a patrol officer, Tom is a highly moti- vated individual and has made fantastic contributions to the com- munity through his efforts in the DARE program and in other re- lated crime prevention programs. In March of this year Tom coor- dinated a Parents night held at the Community Center and through his efforts he was able to identify sponsors who donated food and other items which helped guarantee a successful evening. Tom continually initiates positive actions and is a tremendous asset to the Hermosa Beach Police Department. Tom is being honored because of his exemplary performance in repeatedly taking initia- tive for special programs and his continuous excellent day to day actions. Both Mary and Tom are being presented with a plaque to commemo- rate their selection as "Outstanding Employee". Respectfully Submitted: 1 Robert A. Blackwood Concur: evin B.

(over) THE HERMOSA BEACH FORM OF GOVERNMENT Hermosa Beach has the Council -Manager form of government, with a City Manager appointed by and responsible to the City Council for carrying out Council policy. The Mayor and Council decide what is to be done. The City Manager, operating through the entire City staff, does it. This separation of policy making and administration is considered the most economical and efficient form of City government in the United States today.

Any Councilmember may remove an item from this listing, thereby causing that matter to be considered under the category Consent Calendar items Removed For Separate Discussion. Public Hearings ...

BACKGROUND By 1993, it is conservatively estimated that California will collect for recycling 500,000 tons of glass, 300,000 tons of steel, 3.4 million tons of paper, 30,000 tons of plastic and 150,000 tons of aluminum. Essential to the success of our recycling efforts is the development of stable markets for this collected material. ANALYSIS Assembly Bill 1423 by Assembly Member Michael Gotch (D -San Diego) and Senate Bill 235 by Senator Gary Hart (D -Santa Barbara) are intended to support state and local recycling efforts by closing the loop on packaging waste. By requiring producers of packaging containers to utilize specified minimum levels of recycled material in the manufacture of their products, we will help to assure stable markets for material collected in curbside and other recycling programs. AB 1423 would require manufacturers of glass, steel, bi-metal and aluminum containers to use the following minimum percentages of recycled content in the manufacture of their containers on and after the dates specified below: EFFECTIVE DATE 1/1/93 1/1/96 1/1/99 Flint glass containers 25% 3570 4570 Green, amber & mixed color containers 40% 5070 60% Steel & bi-metal containers 3570 60% 85% Aluminum containers 607 7570 90% 1 a. SB 235 would require manufactures of paperboard and rigid plastic containers to use the following minimum percentages of postconsumer content in the manufacture of their containers on and after the dates specified below: EFFECTIVE DATE 1/1/93 1/1/95 Paperboard containers 50 5070 Plastic containers 1070 2570 Staff believes that this action is appropriate in demonstrating our continued support in a comprehensive recycling effort. Market development for recycled materials also a required objective of the recycling component of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element mandated by the state pursuant to AB 939. Concur: evin B.

WHEREAS, the City Council of The City of Hermosa Beach is committed to meeting or exceeding the recycling and waste reduction requirements of the California Integrated Solid Waste Management and Recycling Act (AB 939, 1989); and WHEREAS, a key to the long term success of recycling in California depends on a balanced strategy of creating incentives and implementing programs for the collection of recyclables, while stimulating material demand through thoughtful recycled material market development efforts; and WHEREAS, the legislature and Governor in 1989 adopted AB 1305, a successful recycled newsprint market development program mandating minimum levels of recycled content in newspaper; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1423 by Assembly Member Michael Gotch and Senate Bill 235 by Senator Gary Hart would, if adopted establish similar minimum recycled content requirements on all paper, glass, aluminum, steel and plastic containers sold in this state. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby: 1. Convey our support for AB 1423 to Assembly Member Michael Gotch, our assembly and senate representatives, Assembly Member Byron Sher, Chair of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee, and the California League of Cities and County Supervisors Association of California. 2. Convey our support for Senate Bill 235 to Senator Gary Hart, our assembly and senate representatives, Senator Dan McCorquodale, Chair of the Senate Natural Resources and Wildlife Committee, and the California League of Cities and County Supervisors Association of California. 3.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED ON THE DAY OF 1991. PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA ATTEST: CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY ATTORNEY Carole/resminum May 2, 1991 Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of of the City Council May 14, 1991 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REQUEST FOR CITY SERVICES FOR FIESTA RECOMMENDATION It is recommended by staff that Council approve the street closures and request from the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce to operate the Fiesta de las Artes street fair on May 25 - 27 and August 31 - September 2, 1991. BACKGROUND The Fiesta de las Artes has been in existence for 14 years in the City of Hermosa Beach. The fair features artisans, food booths and fundraisers for non-profit and community organizations. The specific requests for the event from the Chamber as well as the requests for City services and equipment are attached for Council review. ANALYSIS The Chamber of Commerce utilizes this event as its primary funding source on an annual basis. The success of the fundraiser which translates hundreds of volunteer hours into dollars has enabled the Chamber to exist and operate autonomously throughout the years. Council has expressed concerns about the past communications between the City and Chamber with regards to billing for City services and the payment for the same. In response to this, Chamber and City staff met on April 10 in an effort to mitigate potential problems. Both groups agreed to provide requests and billing information in a timely fashion prior to the actual event (see attached memo). 1991 will bring about some operational changes in the Fiesta including moving the food booths to Parking Lot C and the addition of a Fiesta (Farmer's) Market on 13th Street. The food booths in Lot C will enable the vendors to have easy access to a generator and to leave their booths up overnight. Resident permit parking will not be impeded. The Chamber of Commerce sees this move as being positive from a operational and sanitary standpoint. Council has requested a cost benefit analysis for the Fiesta from the Chamber and City staff. This item will appear on the agenda at the special City Council/Chamber of Commerce meeting on July 18, 1991. 1 lf The attached information and meetings with City staff reflect the Chamber's conscientious effort to cooperate with all requests on behalf of the City. They have made changes in the event in order to iron out problems from the past (i.e., pedestrian crossings) and have agreed to meet with staff immediately following the first Fiesta to address any new problems that may surface. The Chamber of Commerce requests Council's approval of the street closures for 1991 and will look forward to working with the City in the future to insure the continued success of the Fiesta.

The city has traditionally provided space and revised traffic patterns as requested by the Chamber of Commerce to accommodate artists, craftspeople and visitors to the Fiesta. Again, this year we would like to request the use of Pier Avenue from the Strand to Manhattan Avenue and Hermosa Avenue from 10th street to 14th street. As in the past, we plan the closure of 13th street and llth street west of Hermosa Avenue to 20 feet east of the parking lot entrance. We would plan to leave the required space for emergency vehicles. Our Fiesta committee has met extensively with the department heads of Public Works, Community Resources and the Hermosa Police Dept. to go over the layout, logistics and traffic remedys of the fair. We feel that all concerns have been addressed. City support requested: 1. Closure of the above mentioned streets to thru traffic from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm on the three days of the show. 2. Approval for participation by local merchants in sidewalk sales on the show dates. 3. Assistance from Public Works in hanging the signs and banners. 4 4. The Chamber of Commerce will hire a commercial clean-up company to clean the streets daily and fulfill Public Works requirements of scrubbing and steam cleaning. The Chamber of Commerce will supply the City of Hermosa Beach with a one million dollar liability rider. We will cooperate fully with merchants in the affected area to keep as many streets as possible open to provide access to parking lots and businesses. i L r mamm a Page 2 (cont'd) The Chamber, along with the community is proud to present this well known and established event twice a year. The Fiesta brings much positive attention to our beautiful city and attracts over 100,00(7 people. We thank the City of Hermosa Beach and the council for their continued support.

Crafts Fair Guide 1990 Managed by: MARK CONTE PRODUCTIONS revision April 4, 1991 Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Fiesta de las Artes, Memorial Day Weekend May 25,26,27, 1991 Subject: Hermosa Beach Police Department Traffic and Security The following is the result of a very productive meeting held with Commander Anthony Altfeld. In this discussion we touched on a number of areas of concern including vehicle traffic, pedestrian traffic and general security. Commander Altfeld commented very positively about our current security system. Since the inclusion of a professional security organization In our event management program the HBPD are Tess inclined to require increased PD personnel on site during the show hours. HBPD requirements: 1. Patrol: Two uniformed officers will be on site a minimum of 8 hours from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm each day. The cost is $55.00 per hour per officer for a total of $880.00 per day or $2,640 for the three days. 2. Vehicle Traffic: At no additional cost to the Fiesta, the on duty Special Enforcement Officer will monitor traffic in the area between Monterey Blvd. and Manhattan Ave.. Should assistance be required during peak times, the officer on duty will direct traffic. From 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm the officer will definitely be at this location to direct street and vendor traffic at closing time. This officer is not dedicated to the Fiesta but will step in when needed. We will provide two signs to be posted at the Intersection of Manhattan Ave. and Monterey Blvd. at closing time which will read: Fiesta Vendors STAY IN RIGHT LANE ONLY 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm We will also shift two security people from parking lot duty to both intersections keeping them dear of vendor vehicles while they line up for closing time entry to the venue. The security people will also make sure our vendors adhere to the Right Lane requirement. The left lane will be for general traffic, any vendor found in the the left lane will be directed to proceed around the block to the end of the vendor waiting line. Clear intersections and left lanes will eliminate vehicle clogging of the streets at this critical time. The two security people are to be specifically instructed as to their duties, they are NOT to direct traffic. 1 Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Fiesta de las Artes, Memorial Day Weekend Security, page two The Fiesta committee will pass out flyers to all vendors on Saturday morning explaining the closing time traffic procedures. We will provide two double sided signs to be placed at the intersections of Valley Dr. at Pier Ave. and Valley Dr. at Ardmore. They will read as follows: No Left Turn 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm This will prevent congestion and keep traffic moving rapidly on Pier Ave. This action coupled with the Monterey and Manhattan measures is expected to mitigate much of the traffic problems associated with the closing of the Fiesta. 3. Pedestrian Traffic: Two crossing personnel are required at Monterey Blvd. only from the hours of 12:00 noon to 6:30 pm. 2 .11 04/09/91 Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Fiesta de las Artes Memorial Day Weekend May 25,26,27, 1991 SECURITY Time Hours Personnel Location Man Hours 9:00 am to 4:00 pm 7 2 Park Lots A & B 14 6:00 am to 8:30 pm 14.5 2 Main Entrance 29 7:00 am to 7:00 pm 12 2 Pier & Beach 24 6:00 am to 8:00 pm 14 1 Hermosa Ave. No. 14 6:00 am to 8:00 pm 14 1 Hermosa Ave. So. 14 12:00 am to 6:00 pm 6 2 Pedestrian Crossing 12 8:00 pm to 7:00 am 11 1 Two Overnights 11 78.5 11 118 *This includes 2 supervisors each day. 1..I4t1•1•�-� • FU LL _DE L L SPONSORED BY THE HERMOSA BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 323 PIER AVE.

During our meeting Wes Bush informed me that Wes had previously met with Alana Mastrian-Handman from Specialty Maintenance, about the cleaning of the sidewalks and that the City was not satisfied with the cleaning. Wes Bush then stated that Alana would like to have a meeting with Tony Antich and myself to discuss the cleaning procedure. On January 7, 1991 I called Alana at Specialty Maintenance about the cleaning procedure after the Fiesta and she suggested that we meet and discuss what the City was asking to be done. On January 10, 1991 at 8:00 a.m. Tony Antich the Director of Public Works, and I met with Alana and discussed the cleaning procedure. During the meeting we came to an agreement regarding how the sidewalks in the downtown area need to be cleaned after each Fiesta. Please see attached map.

Background: On June 26, 1990, City Council adopted the FY 90-91 Capital Improvement Program and approved re -appropriations to that budget on August 14, 1990. This is the third status report for fiscal year 1990-91. Analysis: The report is organized to show the following for each project: Project description - Project status as of March 31, 1991 Major funding source Approved budget Expenditures as of March 31, 1991 Budget page numbers shown are for the final CIP budget. Respectfully submitted, Lynn A. Terry F.E. Deputy City Engineer oncur: An ,'^ Ant r%ny Antich Director of Public Works lg CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The Capital Improvement Program (hereafter referred to as CIP) is a planning tool for short and long-range capital acquisition and development. It links Hermosa Beach's General Plan and the fiscal planning process to physical development and the highest priority maintenance needs of the City's facilities and infrastructure. It provides the mechanism for estimating capital requirements, identifying appropriate funding sources, scheduling all capital projects over a fixed period, coordinating the activities of various departments to meet completion target dates, and monitoring and evaluating the progress of capital projects. The CIP is a five year plan of capital related revenues and expenditures that is updated one year at a time. Although the CIP constitutes a five year plan, funds are appropriated only for the upcoming year. The CIP (starting with FY 89-90) is designed to be on-going and continuous. The projects for the next four years are based on future needs and revenues, not appropriations. This plan consists of projects that are major expenditures for a specific plan or design of permanent public improvements such as a building, street, sanitary sewer rehabilitation, or acquisition of real property, or major equipment. The purpose of these projects is to: - Implement the General Plan - Preserve public health and safety - Improve the environment - Increase efficient operation of the City - Improve the comfort and enjoyment of residents. The capital projects included in this document span five fiscal years from 1990-1991 through 1994-1995. Total Capital Improvement proposed funding for FY 90-91 is $4.1 million; for FY 91-92, it is $967,532. Projects are presented in this document in seven categories and are organized into the following groups: - Street and Safety Improvements - Street Lighting Improvements - Storm Drain Improvements - Sanitary Sewer Improvements - Park Improvements - Public Buildings and Grounds Improvements - General Capital Improvements 2 The page numbers refer to pages in the Capital Improvement Program where more detail and the funding source can be found. Projects funded from the City's major discretionary fund, the General Fund are so noted. Summary: This Five -Year Capital Improvement Program provides a framework for planning the maintenance and replacement of existing capital equipment and facilities as well as new acquisitions. It is intended to address the highest City priorities for improvement and maintenance of the City's infrastructure while reflecting citizens' needs and wishes with regard to shaping their community. 3 PROJECT STATUS AS OF MARCH 31, 1991 STREET AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS CIP 85-137 FAU.

Approve the realignment of the existing 15" sewer main from 20th Street southerly for 360 feet and require the property owner to pay the full realignment costs currently -estimated to be $64,000 ($58,000 plus 10% contingency). 2. Subject to the approval by the City Attorney, accept easement deeds from the property owner to be recorded, thereby legally locating the new alignment. 3. Accept a cash deposit in the amount of $64,000 to cover the construction costs of the realignment. Background: The property owner of the vacant site at 20th and Power Street (commonly known as the Power Street Development) wants to build a new large house over the area where the City presently has an existing 15" main. The construction of any type of house over an existing sewer main is not allowed. In order to be allowed to construct the proposed house, the property owner has requested that the existing sewer main be realigned so that is will not be under the future house. Engineered plans for the proposed realignment have been submitted to the City staff for review. The existing sewer system is planned for reconstruction as part of the on-going sanitary sewer repair contract. Therefore, this realignment could be handled very easily by issuing a change order (for the new cost and new location) to the present contractor. The estimated cost to replace the existing sanitary sewer along the present alignment is $46,000. The total estimated cost of the realignment is $64,000 ($58,000 plus a contingency of $6,000,) which will cover all costs including inspection costs. The incremental cost increase if $12,000. The issues for Council consideration are to approve or disapprove a realignment and how much should each party pay. Analysis: The issues considered by staff in this report are: - 1 - llt 1. Do not approve the realignment. If the sanitary sewer is not relocated, the property owner must redraw the shape of the proposed house or not build and the City can proceed with completing the sewer repair work as planned. 2. Approve the realignment, but hold off on any City construction at this time. This sanitary sewer has already collapsed once during the last six months. Holding off on repairs could expose the City to potential risk. 3. Approve the realignment and do the repair work now. This eliminates potential liability and accommodates the developer's needs. 4. How much should each party pay. The staff is of the opinion that the developer should pay for the total cost of the realignment because the realignment will add value to the private property. The staff recommends a cash deposit of $64,000 be paid by the property owner. Any remaining funds will be returned to the property owner at the end of the construction. Detail Analysis: The total cost of the realigned sanitary sewer is $64,000. The property owners feel they should only be required to pay for the incremental cost due to the realignment. This amount is estimated to be $12,000. The recommended alternative is for the City to allow the realignment so that the property owners would be able to build their house where and in the shape that they want. In exchange, for allowing the realignment, the City should require the property owner to pay the full 100% realignment costs of $64,000 because if the City sewer repair work was not underway at this time, the property owners would be required to pay the full 100% realignment costs. The owners have another choice in that they can change the location and shape of the house. Unfortunately, the staff has been told that the house plans are ready to be submitted to the Building Department if this request is approved. Another alternative is one where both the City and the property owners receive monetary benefits from working together. In this alternative each of the parties would share some percentage of the total costs. An example of this procedure could work in the following manner. The property owners pay for the cost of the additional work - $12,000. Then the City and the property owner each pays a percentage of the reconstruction costs and each receives some savings in cost. Example #1 In this example the property owner pays 100% of the realignment construction costs. $58,000 (-)$12,000 (-)$46,000 Property Owner - Realignment Costs - Additional Costs - Reconstruction Costs Paid by Owner $46,000 (-) $ -0- (-)$ -0- -0- Savings to Owner $46,000 Example #2 City - Original City Costs - Additional Costs - Reconstruction Costs Paid by City - Savings to City In this example the property owner pays the additional costs due to the realignment and both the City and the property owner each pay 50% of the reconstruction costs. $58,000 (-)$12,000 (-)$23,000 $23,000 Example #3 Property Owner - Realignment Costs $46,000 - Additional costs (-)$ -0- - 50% Reconstruction (-)$23,000 Costs Paid by Owner - Savings to Owner $23,000 City - Original City Costs - Additional Costs - 50% Reconstruction Paid by City - Savings to City In this example the property owner only pays costs due to the realignment. Property Owner $58,000 - Realignment Costs $46,000 (-)$12,000 - Additional costs (-)$ -0- (-)$ -0- - Reconstruction (-)$46,000 Costs Paid by Owner $46,000 - Savings to Owner for the additional City - Original City Costs - Additional Costs - Reconstruction Costs Paid by City -0- - Savings to City Summary: Based on the City Council's goal of improving the City's financial picture, it is recommended that the City require the developer to pay 100% of the realignment costs. Alternatives: Alternatives considered by the staff and available to the City Council are: 1. Do not approve the realignment. 2. Hold off on any City construction at this time. This is not recommended. 3. Require the property owner to only pay the additional costs due to the realignment. 4. Require the property owner to pay a percentage share of the realignment costs.

Background The PERS rate for Safety employees has historically been a composite rate. On April 23, 1991, PERS notified the City that separate rates for Police and Fire personnel are now available. The City must notify PERS by June 1, 1991, if separate rates are to be used; otherwise, PERS will assume the City chooses to continue using a composite rate. Analysis PERS indicates that generally, the choice of rates will not affect the employer contribution to be made. For 1991-92, the composite rate is 18.558%; separate rates are 17.801% for Fire and 18.915% for Police. In our case, using the individual rates as opposed to the composite rate results in a savings of approximately $800 for fiscal year 1991- 92. According to PERS, many agencies are not currently reporting Fire and Police contributions separately on their monthly PERS report. For these agencies, using separate rates would increase the time spent on reporting. We have been reporting separately, as instructed by PERS, for many years, so the use of separate rates is an easy change for staff to make. The choice the City makes now will be in effect until 1996. Separate rates will not be available again as an option until that time due to PERS staffing limitations. Since the separate rates give a more accurate picture of the rate for each group, and there is little impact associated with the change, it is recommended that the City select the use of separate rates for Police and Fire personnel.

Nor craft, Finance Director City Manager 1i May 7, 1991 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of the Hermosa Beach City Council May 14, 1991 SUBJECT: DRAFT CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INITIATED BY STAFF PURPOSE: TO INFORM THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT THE PLAN VIS-A-VIS THE CITY Background: In June, 1990, the voters passed Proposition 111, and in turn the State Legislature enacted the Congestion Management Program (CMP). Generally, the intent of the measure is to tie transportation, air quality, with land development. The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) has now prepared a draft program, but has not completed all the details of implementation. Summary: The following summarizes the program: All development projects dating back to July, 1989, must have mitigation if determined to have had a negative impact to traffic congestion. The key element is regional mitigation, there is no intent to control land use. Pacific Coast Highway is, at this time, the only street included in the program in Hermosa Beach. The City is required to maintain the existing traffic condition, level F0, under the program. Cities, not developers, are responsible for paying the cost of mitigation, although cities may impose exactions, and/or use Prop "C" funds. Gas Tax funds from the State will be stopped to cities that do not comply with the program. Mitigation can occur in the region; it need not be within the City limits. There will be a credit program for projects that improve traffic conditions, and maybe cities can trade credits, but not known for certain at this time. 1 There will be a traffic volume cut-off point, where mitigation will need to be implemented, or gas tax funds will be halted, or the City will need to prohibit additional projects. Analysis: Since the South Bay region is already extensively developed, the potential to implement mitigating measures within or outside the City could be difficult. The result could be that this region is financing improvement projects in the developing areas of the county. It is not prohibited at this time. This concern was expressed to LACTC. The implication of this program is that every project needs discretionary review to determine traffic impact and appropriate mitigation. Once a cumulative impact is reached in cases where small projects independently are not an impact, mitigation would need to be implemented. Prop "C" money could probably be used in these cases since exactions would be hard to impose on an individual project. For instance, if 50 new homes were built over time resulting cumulatively in a significant traffic impact, then, the City could fund a mitigation project fundable under Proposition "C". For larger projects, exactions could be imposed. Since both Proposition "C" funding program and the CMP are not in their final form, staff can only suggest possible methods of compliance.

Background: The incumbent Deputy City Clerk was on a medical leave since May 1990 and has been placed on an inactive status. During her absence the position has been filled on a temporary basis. The initial appointment of the temporary Deputy City Clerk was for six months, and has since been given three (3) 30 day extensions by City Council. Staff will ask Council for another thirty (30) day extension on May 28, 1991, in order to keep the position staffed until successful recruitment and testing has been accomplished. Recruitment for this position was initiated on April 1, 1991 and closed on April 22, 1991. Advertisements were placed in the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Breeze newspapers. The City received only three (3) applications. Due to the low level of response, the recruitment was cancelled. Staff believes in order to receive an appropriate response the requirements for this position need to be revised; mainly, to change the shorthand requirement from a required ability to a desirable qualification. Since the minutes of City Council meetings reflect actions taken and are not verbatim, the Deputy City Clerk is able to prepare the minutes from notes with any necessary backup provided by either the audio or video recordings. Neither the incumbent Deputy City Clerk nor the temporary employee currently in the position have been called upon to use shorthand in the performance of their duties. By maintaining the shorthand requirement the City severely limits the number of eligible candidates. The ideal candidate is one who is a self-starter with excellent organizational and communication skills who is able to perform with minimum direction. A larger candidate pool will assist in identifying the most qualified candidate available. There is no change in the Bargaining Unit nor to the salary for this position proposed. - 1 - SPS Analysis: The proposed revision to the class specification changes the minimum requirement (as stated above) to take dictation; but does include shorthand or speed writing as a desirable qualification. The Civil Service Board approved this revision on May 7, 1991. Following approval of this revision, recruitment will again comence with the following tentative schedule.

BACKGROUND Project Touch presently leases Room C, Room 11 and 3 in the Community Center. They have been tenants in the Center since October, 1979. They have served Hermosa, Redondo and Manhattan Beach city's high risk youth and their families for 15 years. Project Touch is a juvenile diversion program whose services include social and educational enrichment, counseling, meals, wilderness challenge camping and stepteen/stepfamily groups. ANALYSIS The lease space for Room 3 is 529 sq. ft. with a monthly rental of $407. ($.77 sq. ft.) This rate will be in effect until July 1, 1991 and then will increase to $.80 sq. ft. or $423 per month. The attached lease conforms to the present square footage rental policy (approved by the Commission January 24, 1990 and by City Council at their March 13, 1990) with all other conditions of the former lease remaining the same. Their residency in the Community Center has been of great value in addressing a vital social service function for Hermosa Beach.

FORM CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, a Municipal Corporation, Lessor By CITY CLERK CITY ATTORNEY DATE: LESSEE: 5 May 2, 1991 Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of of the City Council May 14, 1991 CITY MARQUEE RENOVATION RECOMMENDATION It is recommended by staff that Council approve the attached design for the City marquee renovation. BACKGROUND -At the January 22, 1991 meeting, Council accepted a donation from 0 the Chamber of Commerce of $7,000 to repair the existing marquee and to add the Chamber of Commerce logo to the sign. ANALYSIS One of the major problems with the existing marquee, is that it is difficult to read due to the small (6") letters and readerboard size. In attempting to solve this problem, it became apparent that the current design (with City logos on the east side of the sign) restricts the size of the readerboard area which subsequently permits us to use only small letters on the lines. By redesigning the sign so that the City logo is moved to the top and center of each side (two sided) the readerboard can accommodate 10" letters which will greatly improve the visibility of each message. Since the original approval was for the same design, staff wanted to return with this modest change. The suggested modification will enhance the sign both functionally and aesthetically and will greatly improve our ability to "get the word out" to the Hermosa Beach community.

Authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement using Carl Chapman & Associates, Inc. to conduct the survey monitoring program for the City at the Strand Hotel site, contingent upon receipt of a cash deposit by the developer. Background: In the Public Works staff report to the Building Department dated November 21, 1990, the Public Works Department recommended that a soil settlement monitor should be paid for, via an up front deposit by the Strand Hotel developer. The monitor should be an independent qualified third party under the supervision and direction of the City. He would implement a monitoring program which would provide for continued public health and safety and help in identifying sources of damage. ANALYSIS: The City staff and the developer have reviewed three consultants to do the survey monitoring. All three consultants are qualified to do the work. The three consultants reviewed and their proposed fees are listed below: 1. Tierra Engineering Company $18,500 2. Carl Chapman & Associates, Inc. $25,000 3. ASL Consultants, Inc. $37,200 The consultant recommended by staff and mutually agreed to by the developer is Carl Chapman & Associates, Inc. The proposed consultant has provided information that they have been involved with other projects where precise elevation monitoring was required and that have been before the State Coastal Commission. 1 Alternatives: Alternatives considered by the staff and available to the City Council are: 1. Reject the proposed consultant and use one of the other consultants. 2. Reject all of the consultants reviewed and talk to additional consultants.

Honorable Mayor Sheldon and Members of the City Council CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Re: Conditional Use Permit for Danis Liquor Dear Mayor Sheldon and Members of the City Council: The law firm of Rutan & Tucker represents Ronald R. Duffaut, owner of the property located at 3232 Manhattan Avenue in the City of Hermosa Beach. I am writing to you with regard to your consideration of Conditional Use Permit 90-02 for Dan's Liquor, the business that has properly and lawfully operated at that location for at least 20 years. As you are probably aware, Mr. Duffaut believes that he has the vested right to continua using his property without going through a conditional use permit process. His position on this subject was summarized in my March 13, 1991, letter to your Planning Commission, another copy of which is being provided to you this evening. Your City Attorney has taken a contrary position, asserting the City's authority to amortize out existing uses and to impose the CUP process under City Ordinance No. 86-865. At this point, we are hopeful that a resolution of our differences may be at hand. On Thursday, May 9, 1991, Mr. Duffaut and I met with your City Attorney and Planning Director to discuss the conditions staff is recommending be imposed on the CUP. Staff indicated that they would recommend a number of changes be made to those conditions. Based on those changes, staff further indicated that they would recommend to the City Council that the matter be SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RU TAN $ TUCKER ATTORNCYf AT LAW • ..••....•.• ...CIO.; •4 •WAIN C•..:0.6010'0•. Honorable Mayor Sheldon and Members of the City Council May 14, 1991 Page 2 referred back to the Planning Commission for further consideration. Mr. Duffaut supports that recommendation. Over the next few weeks, we pledge to working with your staff in an effort to narrow any remaining differences. Hopefully, we will reach the point at which Mr. Duffaut will conclude that his property interests are not materially impaired. Given the potential resolution of Mr. Duffaut's concerns and the staff recommendation to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission, we will reserve any further objections to the CUP until all avenues of settlement and accommodation have been exhausted.

Duffaut, owner of the property located at 3232 Manhattan Avenue in the City of Hermosa Beach. A business known as "Dan's Liquor" has properly and lawfully operated at that location for a number of years. I am informed that considering a Conditional Liquor at your March 19, Duffaut, I respectfully continued for a minimum of investigate the facts and not retained until March until March 19th. I also Council meeting in another the Planning Commission will be Use Permit (CUP 90-02) for Dan's 1991 meeting. On behalf of Mr. request that this hearing be two weeks so that I can adequately law relating to the matter. I was 13, 1991, and will be out of town have a previous commitment (a City city) on the evening of the 19th. If for any reason the Planning Commission elects to proceed on March 19th, I would like to express Mr. Duffaut's opposition to the jurisdiction of the City of Hermosa Beach to require a Conditional Use Permit and opposition to the conditions which your staff has recommended be incorporated RUTAN & TUCKER ATTOAN[v$ AT LAW • ••4'•1•1••• rc. a ••. ••.•... Cvk, CN•C.✓d+f Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach March 13, 1991 Page 2 into the CUP. A non-exclusive list of reasons for Mr. Duffaut's opposition is set forth below: 1. City Ordinance No. 86-865 which requires a CUP for continued alcohol sales by businesses engaged in that activity prior to the date the ordinance was adopted is unconstitutional on its face and as applied to Dan's Liquor, in that the business is entitled to continue operation without a CUP under California Business and Professions Code Section 23790 and Article XX, Section 22 of the California Constitution. See Mussalli v. City of Glendale (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 524. 2. The uncompensated premises, in rights under 5491. CUP purports to require the removal of the existing sign on the violation of the property owner's Business and Professions Code Section 3. The CUP claims that the property owner is seeking to sell X-rated videos. According to the information provided to me by Mr. Duffaut, this is tactually untrue. 4. Even assuming for the sake of argument that th.CUP requirement were valid, there is no nexus or reasonable relationship between the governmental interest purportedly giving the City the right to require a CUP (alcohol and video sales) and the conditions that the City seeks to unilaterally impose (revised parking layout, trash enclosure, landscaping improvements, signage, facade improvements, etc.). See, e.g., Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987) 483 U.S. 825 835-837; Rohn v. City of Visalia (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 1463; and Libort v. California Coastal Commission (1980) 113 Cal.App. 3d 491, 503. 5. The amortization period in Ordinance No. 86-865 is unreasonably short and provides insufficient time for property owners with existing { RUTAN & TUCKER ATTOANCTS AT LAW • ••••••N• • ..e...••• ••O•BH.•.• co•M•••'O•$ Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach March 13, 1991 Page 3 vested rights to recover the reasonable value of their lawfully existing uses. See, e.g., City of La Mesa v. Tweed & Gambrell Kill (1956) 146 Cal.App.2d 762, 771 (S -year amortization period for planing mill held unreasonably short where investment had remaining 21 years of economic life and use was appropriate for the area). 6. The City is misusing Ordinance No. 86-865 to require the property owner to make substantial improvements to the premises as a condition to continuation of a lawful use, even though the existing improvements are in compliance with all applicable codes. Mr. Duffaut's property was developed and has been maintained in accordance with all applicable state and local laws and requirements. The property has been properly maintained and does not constitute a public nuisance. Even your staff report indicates that the use is appropriate for the area and that the property does not have any history of police problems. We can find absolutely no justification for the City interfering with the property owner's vested rights through the device of the CUP process. Using the same logic that is apparently being applied to Mr. Duffaut's property, there would be nothing to prevent the City from ordering any property owner -- whether business or residential -- to make any improvements or alterations the City might deem appropriate as a condition to the owner's right to continue use and occupancy of the property. If the City of Hermosa Beach wants to interfere with lawful and vested ownership rights, it is required to pay just compensation. Once again, the legal points raised in this letter are not intended to be comprehensive. On behalf of Mr. Duffaut, I request that the hearing be continued for at least two weeks so that I can properly prepare and present any additional evidence and argument that may support his position.

Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council sustain the decision of the Planning Commission by adoption of the attached resolution. Background The Planning Commission, at their meeting of March 19, 1991, approved a conditional use permit at the subject location subject to the conditions as recommended by staff, except that all references to adult videos was deleted at the request of the applicant who stated that selling or renting adult videos was no longer desired. For further background please refer to the attached staff report and Planning Commission minutes. Analysis Since this establishment is an existing business with no major history of police problems, according to the Police Department, staff believes the sale of alcohol in conjunction with a mini -market should be allowed to continue subject to conditions imposed by the Planning Commission, which include standard conditions of the zoning ordinance, and conditions relating to parking, the trash dumpster, signs, and landscaping. Also, the conditions include a provision to require that single containers be sold in clear bags and to require the establishment to participate in the about to be implemented EASY (End Alcohol Sales to Youth) program, as requested by the Police Department. 1 5 For further analysis please refer to th- attached staff reports.

Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions contained in the attached resolution. Background PROJECT INFORMATION: Zoning: C-1 General Plan: Neighborhood Commercial Lot Size: 4320 sq. ft. Building Size: 2982 sq. ft. Current Use: Preexisting Liquor store; Mini -mkt; Deli & X-rated video sales Parking Spaces: Seven Dan's Liquor is located on the south east corner of MANHATTAN AVENUE at Thirty Third Street. It is a single story building with diagonal parking south of the building. The business is presently operating from 7am to 2am, daily. Dan's Liquor is one of the remaining existing businesses selling alcoholic beverages subject to the alcohol amortization ordinance which have not obtained a Conditional Use Permit. It should be noted this business began the CUP process in January of 1990 but -7- the store was sold this past summer and the subsequent owner has stated he was not aware of the requirements to complete the CUP process. Thus, there has been a lengthy delay. At their meeting of February 8, 1990, the Staff Environmental Review Committee recommended an Environmental Negative Declaration, and recommended that the Planning Commission require the applicant/owner to submit a sign plan that conforms with the present code, along with a new plan for the layout of parking and for a trash enclosure. The Police Department requested that "DAN'S" participate in the soon to be implemented "EASY" program, and to sell single containers of alcoholic beverages in clear plastic bags so that the contents are easily identifiable. Analysis The requested C.U.P. would authorize the continued general alcohol sales at this location. The proposed use of a liquor store\deli seems in tune with the neighborhood usage while operating there for over twenty years. However, the request to sell X -Rated Videos, does not seem appropriate for a business mired in a residential area. Staff is also concerned about the existing diagonal parking layout which results in cars regularly parking over the public right of way. Further, the trash dumpster should be enclosed with an approved masonry enclosure with a screened gate after approval by the Planning Director as to location on the property. It appears the trash container could be located along the west wall just below the storage area in the south most portion of the parking lot. In regards to appearance, the roof sign stating "Dan's Liquor", is no longer permitted and clearly is in a deteriorated condition. Since this business is a neighborhood business, need for this type of sign is minimal, and only detracts from the area. Also, the boarded up front window area (west side), could use sanding and painting. And, in the parking lot, landscaping could be provided along the west wall of the south portion of the property. Otherwise , since this an existing business with no major history of police problems according to the Records Section, staff believes the sale of alcohol and a delicatessen should be allowed to continue subject to the attached conditions, which include c c standard conditions of the zoning ordinance, and conditions relating to parking, the trash dumpster, signs, and landscaping. Also, the recommended conditions include a provision to require that single containers be sold in clear bags, and also, the Police Department has requested that an additional standard condition be included to require alcohol establishments to participate in the about to be implemented EASY program. Staff believes that possibly Adult R -Rated videos might be acceptable in such a business but that X -Rated is out of the question due to close proximity to homes and children, but because of case law, the city can only regulate such uses when they are a minor part of the business.

DAN'S LIQUOR (CONTINUED FROM MEE1ING OF FEBRUARY 19. 19911 Mr. Schubach gave staff report dated Jannary 21, 1991, and recommended approval of the requested CUP, subject to the conditions specified in the proposed resolution. This project is located in the C-1 zone, with a general plan designation of neighborhood commercial. The lot size is 4320 square feet, with a building size of 2982 square feet. The current use is as a preexisting liquor store, mini market, deli, and X-rated video sales. There are seven parking spaces. Dan's Liquor is located on the southeast corner of Manhattan Avenue at 33rd Street. It is a single -story building with diagonal parking south of the building. The business is presently operating from 7:00 AM until 2;00 AM daily. Dan's Liquor is one of the remaining existing businesses selling alcoholic beverages subject to the alcohol amortization ordinance which has not obtained a CUP. It should be noted that this business began the CUP process in January of 1990, but the store was sold in the summer of 1991 and the subsequent owner has stated he was unaware of the requirements to complete the CUP process.

However, the request to sell X-rated videos does not seem appropriate for a business located in a residential neighborhood. Staff is also concerned with the existing diagonal parking layout which results in cars regularly parking over the public right-of-way. - Further, the trash dumpster should be enclosed with an approved masonry enclosure with a screened gate after approval by the Planning Director as to location on the property. It appears the trash container could be located along the west wall just below the storage area in the southernmost portion of the parking lot. The boarded up front window area on the west side could use sanding and painting. Also, in the parking lot, landscaping would be provided along the west wall of the southern portion of the property. Otherwise, since this is an existing business with no major history of police problems according to the records, staff felt that the sale of alcohol and a deli should be allowed to continue, subject to the proposed conditions, which include standard conditions of the zoning ordinance and conditions relating to parking, the trash dumpster, signs, and landscaping. P.C. Minutes 3/19/91 — (o — C Also, the recommended conditions include a provision to require that single containers be sold in clear bags. The Police Department has also recommended a condition to require this business to participate in the EASY Program. Staff felt that X-rated videos might possibly be acceptable in such a business, but that X-rated is out of the question in this case because of the business' proximity to homes and children. However, because of case law, the City can only regulate such uses when they are a minor part of the business. Mr. Schubach noted, however, that the applicants no longer intend to sell X-rated materials. He stated that all conditions related to X-rated videos can be removed; otherwise, there are conditions in the CUP related to the sale and display of such materials Mr. Schubach noted that the applicant's attorney objected to the CUP requirement; however, if the request is approved, the matter can be appealed to the City Council. Comm. Peirce noted that one of the parking spaces overhangs the public right-of-way. to which Mr. Schubach responded by explaining that there is a condition in place requiring that the parking plan be redesigned. City Attorney Yoshinaga stated that his office had received a call from the office of the applicant's attorney requesting a continuance of this matter because he had a conflict and could not attend tonight's meeting. Mr. Yoshinaga noted, however. that his office has previously addressed the concerns raised by the applicant's attorney, and his office has not changed their opinion. He noted that no new issues have been raised at this time. He stated that, in terms of the amortization ordinance, it is within the purview of the Commission to proceed at this time. Public Hearing opened at 8:07 P.M. by Chmn Ketz. Bryan (no last name given), employee of Dan's Liquor. addressed the Commission and stated that the applicant could not be present this evening and would request that this matter be continued for two weeks. He said that no videos are being displayed at this time; however, he had no idea what future plans are for the videos. Public Hearing closed at 8:09 by Chum. Ketz. Mr. Yoshinaga stated that the other attorney did indicate there was a possibility that the applicant would not be present either. Therefore, it was requested that the matter be continued. He noted, however, that this is a properly noticed hearing. and it is within the purview of the Commission to vote on the matter at this time. MOTION by Comm. Peirce, seconded by Comm. Rue. to approve staffs recommendation, Resolution P.C. 91-13. with the following changes: to amend Condition No. 8 to state there shall be no adult videos unless a conditional use permit is requested: delete all other references to adult videos. Comm. Peirce was disappointed that the applicant was not present, and that the applicant didn't even notify anyone that he would not be present. He felt the Commission should therefore proceed. He felt that the proposed conditions are reasonable, and they are conditions which have been imposed on other similar businesses. Mr. Schubach explained that staff has carefully studied this matter; further, the City Attorney has advised that it is legal to proceed. He therefore felt it is appropriate to vote at this time. Comm. Rue noted that this matter had previously been continued. He said that the applicants. by not appearing, have waived the right to comment. He stated that. if so desired, the matter can be appealed to the City Council. - 0- P.C. Minutes 3/19/91 c AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION by Comm. Peirce. seconded by Comm.

CUP 90-2 -- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OFF -SALE GENERAL ALCOHOL AT AN EXISTING ESTABLISHMENT ALREADY LICENSED BY THE A.B.C. AND FOR ADULT VIDEOS AND ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION AT 3232 MANHATTAN AVENUE, DAN'S LIQUOR Mr. Schubach gave staff report dated January 21, 1991, and recommended approval of the requested CUP, subject to the conditions specified in the proposed resolution. This project is located in the C-1 zone, with a general plan designation of neighborhood commercial. The lot size is 4320 square feet, with a building size of 2982 square feet. The current use is as a preexisting liquor store, mini market, deli, and X-rated video sales. There are seven parking spaces. Dan's Liquor is located on the southeast corner of Manhattan Avenue at 33rd Street. It is a single -story building with diagonal parking south of the building. The business is presently operating from 7:00 AM until 2:00 AM daily. Dan's Liquor is one of the remaining existing businesses selling alcoholic beverages subject to the alcohol amortization ordinance which has not obtained a CUP. It should be noted that this business began the CUP process in January of 1990, but the store was sold in the summer of P.C. Minutes 2/19/91 -- 13 - • 1991 and the subsequent owner has stated he was unaware of the requirements to complete the CUP process. There has thus been a lengthy delay. At their meeting of February 8, 1990, the staff environmental review committee recommended an environmental negative declaration and recommended that the Planning Commission require the applicant/ owner to submit a sign plan that conforms with the present code along with a new plan for the layout of parking and for a trash enclosure. The Police Department requested that Dan's Liquor participate in the soon -to -be -implemented EASY Program and to sell single containers of alcoholic beverages in clear plastic bags so that the contents are easily visible. The requested CUP would authorize the continued general alcohol sales at this location. The proposed use of a liquor store / deli seems in tune with the neighborhood usage while operating there for over 20 years. However, the request to sell X-rated videos does not seem appropriate for a business located in a residential neighborhood. Staff is also concerned with the existing diagonal parking layout which results in cars regularly parking over the public right-of-way. Further, the trash dumpster should be enclosed with an approved masonry enclosure with a screened gate after approval by the Planning Director as to location on the property. It appears the trash container could be located along the west wall just below the storage area in the southernmost portion of the parking lot. The boarded up front window area on the west side could use sanding and painting. Also, in the parking lot, landscaping would be provided along the west wall of the southern portion of the property. Otherwise, since this is an existing business with no major history of police problems according to the records, staff felt that the sale of alcohol and a deli should be allowed to continue, subject to the proposed conditions, which include standard conditions of the zoning ordinance and conditions relating to parking, the trash dumpster, signs, and landscaping. Also, the recommended conditions include a provision to require that single containers be sold in clear bags. The Police Department has also recommended a condition to require this business to participate in the EASY Program,. Staff felt that X-rated videos might possibly be acceptable in such a business, but that X-rated is out of the question in this case because of the business' proximity to homes and children. However, because of case law, the City can only regulate such uses when they are a minor part of the business. Public Hearing opened at 7:47 P.M. by Chmn. Ketz. Ronald Duffaut, property owner, addressed the Commission and: (1) stated that he has only recently become aware of the CUP requirement; (2) explained that he received the staff report only last week; (3) explained that he has been unable to contact the business owner to discuss this proposal; (4) asked that this matter be continued in order that he might have an opportunity to study the issues and meet with the business owner; (5) explained that the ownership of this property has recently been changed. Mr. Schubach stated that staff has no objection to a continuance as requested by the property owner. P.C. Minutes 2/19/91 Edie Weber, 1201 1 1th Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission and: (1) asked at what point a minor usage of adult videos becomes a major usage; (2) asked who monitors such usage; (3) questioned the ramifications of such a usage. Mr. Lee responded by explaining that case law does not specify an exact percentage as to what constitutes an adult usage. In some instances, 50 percent has been used to categorize an adult usage. Mr. Schubach explained that a code enforcement officer monitors the usage of X-rated videos, and the City can conduct an audit of the inventory if deemed necessary. Mr. Duffaut stated that he will work with the business owner in an attempt to discontinue the use of X-rated videos. Public Hearing continued at 7:54 P.M. by Chinn. Ketz. MOTION by Comm. Rue, seconded by Comm. Marks. to continue this hearing to the meeting of March 19, 1991, so that the owner can have time to study the matter. AYES: Comms Marks, Rue, Chmn.

Re: Conditional Use Permit 90-02 ("Dan's Liquor") Dear Ms. Ketz and Members of the Planning Commission: The law firm of Rutan & Tucker has been retained by Ronald R. Duffaut, owner of the property located at 3232 Manhattan Avenue in the City of Hermosa Beach. A business known as "Dan's Liquor" has properly and lawfully operated at that location for a number of years. I am informed that the Planning Commission will be considering a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 90-02) for Dan's Liquor at your March 19, 1991 meeting. On behalf of Mr. Duffaut, I respectfully request that this hearing be continued for a minimum of two weeks so that I can adequately investigate the facts and law relating to the matter. I was not retained until March 13, 1991, and will be out of town until March 19th. I also have a previous commitment (a City Council meeting in another city) on the evening of the 19th. If for any reason the Planning Commission elects to proceed on March 19th, I would like to express Mr. Duffaut's opposition to the jurisdiction of the City of Hermosa Beach to require a Conditional Use Permit and opposition to the conditions which your staff has recommended be incorporated 0 RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW A PARTNERSHIP INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach March 13, 1991 Page 2 into the CUP. A non-exclusive list of reasons for Mr. Duffaut's opposition is set forth below: 1. City Ordinance No. 86-865 which requires a CUP for continued alcohol sales by businesses engaged in that activity prior to the date the ordinance was adopted is unconstitutional on its face and as applied to Dan's Liquor, in that the business is entitled to continue operation without a CUP under California Business and Professions Code Section 23790 and Article XX, Section 22 of the California Constitution. See Mussalli v. City of Glendale (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 524. 2. The CUP purports to require the uncompensated removal of the existing sign on the premises, in violation of the property owner's rights under Business and Professions Code Section 5491. 3. The CUP claims that the property owner is seeking to sell X-rated videos. According to the information provided to me by Mr. Duffaut, this is factually untrue. 4. Even assuming for the sake of argument that theCUP requirement were valid, there is no nexus or reasonable relationship between the governmental interest purportedly giving the City the right to require a CUP (alcohol and video sales) and the conditions that the City seeks to unilaterally impose (revised parking layout, trash enclosure, landscaping improvements, signage, facade improvements, etc.). See, e.g., Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987) 483 U.S. 825, 835-837; Rohn v. City of Visalia (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 1463; and Liberty v. California Coastal Commission (1980) 113 Cal.App. 3d 491, 503. 5. The amortization period in Ordinance No. 86-865 is unreasonably short and provides insufficient time for property owners with existing RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW A PARTNERSHIP INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach March 13, 1991 Page 3 vested rights to recover the reasonable value of their lawfully existing uses. See, e.g., City of La Mesa v. Tweed & Gambrell Mill (1956) 146 Cal.App.2d 762, 771 (5 -year amortization period for planing mill held unreasonably short where investment had remaining 21 years of economic life and use was appropriate for the area). 6. The City is misusing Ordinance No. 86-865 to require the property owner to make substantial improvements to the premises as a condition to continuation of a lawful use, even though the existing improvements are in compliance with all applicable codes. Mr. Duffaut's property was developed and has been maintained in accordance with all applicable state and local laws and requirements. The property has been properly maintained and does not constitute a public nuisance. Even your staff report indicates that the use is appropriate for the area and that the property does not have any history of police problems. We can find absolutely no justification for the City interfering with the property owner's vested rights through the device of the CUP process. Using the same logic that is apparently being applied to Mr. Duffaut's property, there would be nothing to prevent the City from ordering any property owner -- whether business or residential -- to make any improvements or alterations the City might deem appropriate as a condition to the owner's right to continue use and occupancy of the property. If the City of Hermosa Beach wants to interfere with lawful and vested ownership rights, it is required to pay just compensation. Once again, the legal points raised in this letter are not intended to be comprehensive. On behalf of Mr. Duffaut, I request that the hearing be continued for at least two weeks so that I can properly prepare and present any additional evidence and argument that may support his position. RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW A PARTNERSHIP INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach March 13, 1991 Page 4 Thank you for your consideration.

Rather, you have continually questioned the legal authority upon which the City can require Dan's Liquor to apply for a Conditional Use Permit. Both the Planning Staff, enforcement officials and this office have stated that there is ample legal authority upon which the City can require this Conditional Use Permit application. You apparently disagree with the City's position. If you seriously question the legal authority upon which the City of Hermosa Beach is requiring a Conditional Use Permit application, you should obtain independent legal advise. The Hermosa Beach City Code and state law are clear on this issue. The business activity known as Dan's Liquor is required to apply for a Conditional Use Permit and reasonable conditions may be imposed upon the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission or the City Council. Your particular business is not unique, numerous businesses which engage in the sale of alcoholic beverages have also been required to apply for a new Conditional Use Permit. I am not aware of any circumstances which place your business in the position of not complying with the Hermosa Beach City Code. This office will advise the Planning Commission and the City Council to proceed with the Conditional Use Permit hearing and process as set forth by Code. Very truly yours, Charles S. Vose of OLIVER, STOEVER, BARR CSV:ilf cc: Kevin Northcraft, City Manager Michael Schubach, Planning Director & VOSE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION PAUL LUONG DAN'S LIQUOR 3232 MANHATTAN AVENUE HERMOSA BEACH, CA 90254 March 7, 1991 Mr. Charles S. Vose, City Attorney City of Hermosa Beach c/o Oliver, Stoever, Barr & Vose 1000 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90012 Dear Mr. Vose: RECEIVEi; MAR 1 1991 CITY MGR. 0710E MAR 2t3`991 I am in receipt of your March 4, 1991 letter. I must state that I am quite disturbed by the tone of the letter and your lack of response to my legitimate questions. I strongly disagree with your statement that "this office and the Planning Staff have attempted to respond to your numerous questions". All that both of you have done is state that I have to obtain a Conditional Use Permit because it is required by the municipal code. 'That statement does not address any of my questions in my four letters to you. Please reread the questions in the letters and you will see that this is the case. I must assume that what you are implying in your March 4th letter is that, if I don't like the information (or lack of information) 1 am getting from you and the City staff, I should get an attorney and sue the City, as it is not your responsibility to answer any of my questions. This is extremely disconcerting. As I told you in my previous letters, I am a small businessperson who, with my family, recently purchased the Dan's Liquor business. We all work at the business to make it successful and we do not have a lot of money to get a lawyer, and honestly don't believe we should have to obtain legal counsel. When we bought the business, we had no knowledge of what the CUP was all about, nor was it disclosed to us by anyone that there was such a requirement. I still don't understand the issues and I certainly don't have the money to sue the City, nor do I wish to do that. I don't think it is to anyone's benefit to have to file a legal action against the City. That would cost the City a substantial amount of money to defend the suit, as well as costing my family money that we cannot afford to spend. If I could get answers to my questions from you, it might well avoid such a lawsuit, and would certainly make it easier for me and my family to deal with this problem. Page 2 Mr. Charles S. Vose Hermosa Beach CUP March 7, 1991 I also disagree with your representation that you work for "the City" and, therefore, have no responsibility to me. We pay taxes to the City through the operation of our business, and I think that should entitle us to a reasonable level of service from the local government which we support with our business. That service should include a reasonable level of response from your office. You may work for "the City", but "the City" works for the residents and businesses that make up "the City". We elect the City Council that hires you, and in turn, we should be able to get legal answers from you about issues that impact our ability to do business in the City. You apparently misunderstood my statement that you quoted in your March 4th letter. I am not asking you for legal advice. It is my responsibility to determine our own course of action, with or without legal counsel. What I was asking of you was to provide me with the legal reasons for the City's actions. I addressed specific questions to you which I believe are legitimate and which deserve a response from the City Attorney. They are not "concerns or disputes with respect to the proceedings being followed by the City", as you stated. With or without counsel, we do not intend to accept the CUP until we have answers to my questions. I will again ask that you answer my questions prior to any action being taken on the CUP: 1. The business at 3232 Manhattan Avenue, Hermosa Beach, was in operation before there were any CUP requirements in the Municipal Code. How can the City force a business, through only a two year amortization period (of which we have never been legally notified of), to comply with a CUP requirement, when the business has legally operated in the zone in which it is located prior to a CUP requirement even being in the Code? 2. We have a legal ABC license to sell alcoholic beverages. It is my understanding that Dan's Liquor has had a legal ABC license to sell alcoholic beverages at this location since before there were any local requirements relating to alcohol, certainly before there were CUP requirements in the City. How can the City force the business, through only a two year amortization period, to comply with a CUP requirement, and force modification of the legal ABC license with additional conditions, when the business has had a legal ABC license prior to any local government zoning requirements relating to the sale of alcohol? 3. Since we have never been legally notified under Ordinance 86-865, are we legally obligated to file for the CUP at this time? Page 3 Mr. Charles S. Vose Hermosa Beach CUP March 7, 1991 4. If the City denies the CUP, and thus puts us out of business, are we entitled to compensation for the loss of our business? 5. Can Mr. McPherson require us to comply with staff conditions recommended on the CUP prior to a public hearing, as he has told me? Can he require us to remove from sale such magazines as Playboy, or the videos, as he has told me? What is his legal authority relating to these requirements he has placed on us prior to the CUP hearing? I am sending a copy of this letter, my previous letters over the past three months, and your March 4th letter to the City Council and Planning Commission. I would appreciate your written response prior to the next Planning Commission meeting. Otherwise, at the March 19, 1991 Planning Commission meeting, I intend to ask the Planning Commission to continue the CUP hearing until such time that my questions are addressed. cc: Hermosa Beach City Council & Planning Commission 2? t THOMAS W.

OFFICE Re: Required Conditional Use Permit Application Dear Mr. Luong: TELECOPIER (213) 482-5336 Following my January 28, 1991 correspondence to you, you transmitted another letter to me inquiring as to the parameters under which the City of Hermosa Beach may require you to proceed with a Conditional Use Permit. At the end of your letter, you stated that you "would like to obtain answers to these questions so that (you) can make a logical determination about what to do." Both this office and the Planning Staff have attempted to respond to your numerous questions. Many of these questions raised legal issues which can only be answered, to your satisfaction, by legal counsel. Neither I, nor the City, can advise you "what to do." At this point, should you have further questions concerning the Conditional Use Permit process, you should retain legal counsel to advise you as to appropriate action. It is my role as the City Attorney to advise the City as to proper proceedings to follow. Should you have concerns or disputes with respect to the proceedings being followed by the City, you should retain legal counsel to advise you of your rights.

It has been my understanding that the Hermosa Beach City staff has been working with you and that a hearing on your Conditional Use Permit application would be set before the Planning Commission sometime in February. In your past inquiries, you have requested information concerning the authority under which a Conditional Use Permit is required. You or your representative should review Section 13-5 of the Zoning Appendix for the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. In addition, you should also review Section 10-7, Section 10-8 and Sections 1403, et seq. of the same Hermosa Beach Zoning Code. The above cited Sections provide the authority under which the City of Hermosa Beach may require a Conditional Use Permit for the existing liquor store activity. For your information, Boccato's Groceries has applied for a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to the same Municipal Code sections. Pursuant to state law, the City has a right to impose such conditions that are reasonably related to the specific business activity. In addition to discussing this matter with the City staff, you will have an opportunity to present your views to the Planning Commission at the upcoming public hearing. C OLIVER, STOEVER, BARR & VOSE Paul Luong January 28, 1991 Page 2. I hope that the information set forth above is sufficient to answer the questions that you have raised.

To date, I have heard nothing. My case goes before the Planning Commission next month. Unless I receive a response from your office prior to that hearing, it is my intention to ask that the case be continued until such time that I receive a written explanation.

He did this immediately after receiving the letter I sent to you on December 3, 1990, even 'though I asked for additional time to determine my alternatives. He also put additional restrictions on what I can or cannot sell including what he described as "X" and "R" rated magazines. Can he stop me from selling these magazines?

IIe said this letter obligated me to make certain improvements and to obtain a Conditional Use Permit. He also told me I had to remove some adult videos that we rent and sell. I told him that I did not understand what thi.s was all about since I had just recently purchased the business. I then had Phil Freeland, who I have asked to help me, discuss the matter with Mr. McPherson. IIe did that today and has told me that I should write a letter to you asking mor clarification of the issues before I take any further. actions. Would you please tell me under what authority Mr. McPherson is requiring me to obtain a Conditional Use Permit. Dan's Liquor has been a business here for many years and has a legal ABC license to sell alcoholic beverages under State law. I have also seen a :letter from you to Boccato's Groceries which withheld the requirement of the CUP for that business, presumably because that business has also been in operation legally for many years. Would you please tell me under what authority Mr. McPherson is requiring me to immediately meet the conditions described in the February 13, 1990 letter. The letter only appears to describe certain conditions that the staff would recommend should there be a public hearing for a Conditional Use Permit before the Planning Commission. Would you please tell me under what authority Mr. McPherson in requiring me to remove the adult videos. He said they were not permitted for sale anywhere in -33- i Page 2 Mr. Charles Vose December 3, 1990 the City. Are they banned in all zones in the City as he stated, and, if so, why does Wherehouse Entertainment and other businesses like the Tender Box have adult videos for sale and rental in Hermosa Beach? I would appreciate it if you would answer my questions in writing as soon as possible so that I can determine the appropriate actions I should take. I would also ask that you direct Mr. McPherson to withhold any action against me until these issues are clarified and I have had an opportunity to appropriately respond.

CALIFORNIA 90401 March 27, 1991 Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach Civic Center 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885 Re: Dear Commissioners: Boccato's Groceries CUP Application Hearing Date: April 2, 1991 MAR 27 1991 The following points of law are presented on behalf of- Boccato's Groceries, in opposition to the proposed enforcement of CUP requirements under the Hermosa Beach Zoning Code. Boccato's Groceries has been operating continuously for over 22 years, and has held a valid, uninterrupted liquor license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for off -sale general liquor sales in connection with the grocery since prior to the CUP ordinances adopted in Hermosa Beach in Ordinance 86-865. Section 13.5 of the zoning code was adopted in 1986 and ostensibly requires an existing business which sells alcohol to comply with CUP requirements within 2 years or face the consequence that it "shall no longer have the legal authority to sell alcoholic beverages within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach" (5 13.5(A)) or "shall no longer have the authority to operate" (§ 13.5(5)). Initially, we find that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and ambiguous. It is unclear exactly what the difference is between subsections A and B or whether it applies at all to an existing business which is not already required to have a CUP. Under subsection A, the ordinance applies "to establishments which sell alcohol and fall into any category of use which requires a Conditional use_perinit in order to sell alcoholic beverages in the City of Hermosa Beach." This did not apply to Boccato's, because Boccato's is a food market which was not required to hold a CUP in the C-1 ( § 8-2) zone for off -sale liquor as part of a "food market". CUPS were required only as specified, g.g., in the C-2 zone under § 8-3, or for "liquor stores" in the C-1 zone. Since §§ 8-2 and 8-3 were adopted at the same time as part of Ordinance 86-865, it must be presumed there was an intent to require CUP in C-2 but not for food stores in the C-1 zone. Under subsection (B) of § 13.5, adopted by later amendment, it appears the city intended to require CUPS for the "remaining nonconforming commercial and manufacturing establishments"; however, the language of the ordinance still does not apply to Boccato's Grocery, because it states that it applies to the types of business establishments listed in Article 8 and. Article 9, but then says that "A11 such establishments which do not possess a conditional use permit as required by 6rticle 8 and Article 9 on the effective date of Ordinance No. 90-1041 shall be required to apply ...." The ordinance on its face, therefore, only applies to those establishments which are "required" under Article 8 or Article 9 to have a CUP. If they are required to have one and do not, they must apply. Since an existing food store such as Boccato's in the C-1 zone was not required to have a CUP under Article 8 or Article 9, the requirements of § 13.5(B) do not apply. Nevertheless, the city has sent notices to Boccato's stating that a CUP is required. An ordinance with penalties as severe.as this one must be reasonably clear to the people who are required to comply with it, and this ordinance fails the test under constitutional standards of vagueness. See, g.g., Chalmers V. City of Los Angeles, 762 F.2d 753 (9th Cir. 1985); Gravnedy. City of Rockford, 408 U.S. 104 (1972). Assuming, arguendo, that the ordinance in question applies to Boccato's, the terms of the ordinance require him to apply for and obtain a CUP in order to "have the legal authority to operate" the establishment per § 13.5(A) or "the portion of the establishment" per § 13.5(B). We believe this is invalid because it conflicts with state law directly on point and is preempted. As noted above, Boccato's has a liquor license from the ABC and is within the provisions of California Business and Professions Code §523790, 23800. Under § 23790, a city may regulate new businesses selling alcohol by application of zoning ordinances, but those businesses which'already have a valid ABC license are specifically given the authority to continue in operation under the same "rights and privileges" as long as they meet two conditions set forth in § 23790. The operative language of the code reads as follows: No retail license shall be issued which are located in any territory where the exercise of the rights and privileges conferred by the license is contrary to a valid zoning ordinance of any county or city. Premises which had been used in the exercise of those rights and privileges at a time prior to the effective date of the. zoning ordinance may continue operation under the following conditions: a) The premises retain the same type of retail liquor license within a license classification. b) The licensed premises are operated continuously without substantial change in mode or character of operation. (Id., emph.added). The legislature obviously has created an explicit grandfather clause which protects existing licensees from arbitrary application of new zoning requirements. The statute does not contain any provision authorizing local governments to impose amortization periods or new conditions. Hence, the provisions of Ordinance 86- 865 which purport to regulate or terminate liquor sales which predate the ordinance are invalid under article XX, section 22 of the California Constitution. See, Mussal,i v. City of Glendale, 252 Cal. Rptr. 299 (1988). The city attorney is apparently of the view that merely regulating the conditions surrounding the sale of alcohol, rather than the direct sale of alcohol per ag, is permissible under the preemption doctrine and various cases interpreting the conditional provisions. However, the state legislature has further occupied the field regarding the conditions which may be imposed on retail liquor sales. Section 23800 authorizes the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to place "reasonable conditions" on the retail liquor seller, but only where there is a demonstrated need for the conditions to cure a problem arising from complaints, protests, or proposed revocation of the license. This statute provides as follows: Upon request of the licensee or applicant for a license the department may place reasonable conditions upon retail licensees or upon any licensee in the exercise of r.ettail privileges in the following situations: a) If grounds exist for the denial of an application for a license or where a protest against the issuance of a license is filed and if the department finds that those grounds may be remote by the imposition of those conditions. b) Where findings are made by the department which would lustily a suspension or revocation of a license, and where the imposition of a condition is reasonably related to those findings. In the case of a suspension, the conditions may be in lieu of or in addition to the suspension. c) Where the department issues an order suspending QX revoking only a portion of the privileges to be exercised under the license. (B&P.c § 23800; emph. added). Clearly, under established caselaw regarding preemption, where the state statutes evidence an intent to regulate or occupy a particular concern, local government may not intrude. While it may be argued that local government may have ancillary matters of concern, it is impermissible to intervene directly in those areas reserved for regulation by the state agency. In the above -quoted statute, the authority to impose "reasonable conditions" is granted to the state agency, and, even then, the power is granted only under specified circumstances where evidence exists and findings are made that the conditions are necessary to remove or mitigate demonstrable grounds for a protest or revocation. Since there has been no protest or grounds for revocation of Boccato's liquor license (to the contrary, there are letters of support), and the state agency has not found the need for any conditions to be placed on the sale of liquor, we find it difficult to see how the city can arbitrarily impose a set of fifteen conditions which have no basis in law or fact, and which create unreasonable burdens on the 3 licensee. It is true that cities have been allowed to impose certain restrictions on liquor licensees which are not designed solely to regulate the sale of alcohol. For example, the court approved an ordinance in Berkeley requiring retailers to collect a deposit on all containers of malt beverages and soft drinks. (fie, Park & Bhon Markets Inc City of Berkeley (1981) 116 Cal. App. 3d 78, 172 Cal. Rptr.. 515). In Ainsworth v. Bryant (1949) 34 Cal. 2d 465, an excise tax on retail purchases of alcohol was permissible, when it applied to all other retail items as well as alcohol. In both cases, the ordinances applied across the board to articles other than liquor, and liquor was merely one item subject to the regulation. In contrast, the entire purpose of Hermosa Beach Ordinance 86-865 was, and is, purportedly designed to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages. The sole justification for the imposition of all of the fifteen conditions listed in Section 10- 8 is that the business establishment is "engaged in the off -sale of alcoholic beverages"; no other businesses are subject to these provisions. Hence, the requirements of § 13.5 and § 10--8, taken together, amount to a_ reQuirement to apply for and obtain a licens. (regardless of the terminology calling it a "CUP") from the city of Hermosa Beach as a prerequisite to the sale of alcohol, under__ specified conditions. If the business fails to apply for and obtain; this license (CUP) by paying the fees and agreeing to the conditions, the consequences purport to be that business "shall no longer have the legal authority to sell alcoholic beverages within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach". This is clearly in conflict with the constitution and the state codes authorizing the business to continue to sell_ alcohol under the same "rights and privileges (en-ioyedl at a time prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance", per § 23790, supra, or under any "reasonable conditions" imposed by the ABC (not the city) in the event of a protest with evidence and findings warranting the imposition of such conditions, or in the face of findings which might warrant revocation, per § 23800, ZUPrA. The legislature has set forth an entire scheme dealing with the imposition of conditions on the sale of liquor, in §523800-23805, including penalties for violation. The city's application of Ordinance 86-865• is also unconstitutional as applied to Boccato's, a fact which is virtually admitted in the city's staff memorandum. Under the U.S. Constitution, the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment require that businesses not be subjected to arbitrary and unreasonable discrimination in the application of local regulations. This requirement also appears in Cal. Gov't Code § 65852. The city staff's memorandum to the Commission dated June 11, 1990 points out an obvious inequity which cannot be tolerated, yet the problem has not been addressed and is in fact applicable to Boccato's. The memo states as follows: "Also, those uses with currently active C.U.P.'s which were granted in the past often have very different and less restrictive conditions than new C•U,P,'s. Thus, the imposition of conditions on the oldest businesses may create inequities as compared to some newer businesses which are - 4 essentially the same." (emph. added). Boccato's is one of the "oldest businesses" referred to above, and it is in fact now being required to comply with conditions which are mgre restrictive and onerous than those imposed on Alpha Beta, Lucky, or Vons. This is clearly unconstitutional and will be stricken by the courts without hesitation if imposed. On the face of it, Section 10-8 states that the "following conditions shall be imposed on all establishments engaged in the off -sale of alcoholic beverages"; however, the city is not requiring businesses with previously issued CUPs (such as Vons) to meet these 15 conditions, while it is requiring Boccato's - which predates the entire CUP process - to come into compliance or cease operating after a short 2 year amortization. There is no question that this is unconstitutional. In short, the entire scheme whereby Ordinance 86-865 attempts to license the sale of alcohol by imposing conditions is• invalid as presented. It is clearly preempted by state law and is being applied in an arbitrary and discriminating manner. If the city attempts to deny a CUP or enforce its terms by requiring the business to cease the sale of liquor, it will be subject to damages and attorneys fees under 42 U.S.C. s 1983 for a deprivation of property without due process and for unequal enforcement of law. - The city has entered into a field preempted by state law under the guise of zoning, but the issue is clearly one of licensing the sale of alcohol and imposing conditions. Boccato's cannot agree to the conditions for the reasons set forth in a separate letter, and we suggest that a meeting with the city attorney might resolve the matter in an amicable manner.

Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council sustain the decision of the Planning Commission by tentatively adopting the attached resolution, subject to referral back to the Commission for comment prior to final approval since the conditions have been modified. Background At their meeting of April 2, 1991, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit at the subject location subject to the conditions as recommended by staff. The applicant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission action on April 9, 1991, contending that the Planning Commission action was illegal. For further background please refer to the attached staff report and Planning Commission minutes. Analysis Staff has met with Mr. Boccato to discuss the conditions to attempt to resolve some of his concerns. Mr. Boccato responded with a specific set of changes that would be acceptable to him. Staff has evaluated his proposal and as a result has modified some of the conditions in response to his suggestions, but not all of his suggestions are acceptable to staff (see attached letter and staff memorandum). 1 Although the modifications result in a further departure from the standard conditions as required by the Article 10 of the zoning ordinance, staff believes it is appropriate since this is an amortization of existing business, and the standards in the code are more directly applicable to new establishments. Since the proposed conditions have been modified since the Commission approval, the new set of conditions must be referred back to the Commission for comment prior to final approval. Also, the format of the conditions has been modified based on the advise of the City Attorney. Please refer to the attached 4/2/91 and 3/5/91 Planning Commission staff reports for the analysis of the conditional use permit request. CO CUR: Michae Schubach Planning Director Kevin B.

However, full use of his suggestions would result in a "toothless" C.U.P. document, with vague language, making consistent enforcement even less likely. Referencing the points in his letter I have the following recommendation in regards to his suggestions (condition no. in Council Reso noted in parentheses): 1. (2) OK to change as suggested 2. (3) OK to change as suggested 3. (4) NOT OK: The replacement of "provide adequate management and supervisory techniques" with "take reasonable measures" would reduce the clarity of the provision. Further, staff's language is taken directly from the standard conditions of the zoning ordinance, Section 10-7. 4. (5) NOT OK: The language added by staff to this standard condition was to clarify what's on the sign, and the size. Boccato's proposal leaves enforcement to the enforcement officer's interpretation of "readable" and "prominent." 5. (6) NOT OK: Condition needs to state that an employee or clerk who is aware of conditions be on premises, his suggestion could replace the (a) portion as a way to implement. 6. (7) SHOULD NOT BE DELETED: Could be modified to allow minor modifications of the floor plan without review, but not any that might change the use from a market to something else. 7. (SECTION III) OK to delete: This was the statement that violations are grounds for revocations - more of a notice than a condition 9 8. (SECTION II) OK to delete: This condition just stated that the sign ordinance had to be complied with 9. (8) Boccato agrees to P.C. condition 10. (9) NOT OK: This condition requires clear plastic bags for single containers and has been applied to other similar businesses. Condition originated from the Police Department. 11. (10) Boccato agrees to P.C. condition 12. (11) NOT OK: Don't understand Boccato's concerns - changing a recorded document is rather simple. The difficulty with the City is amending the C.U.P. 13. (SECTION III) OK to delete 14. (SECTION II ) Boccato agrees with P.C. decision - this is the condition/statement regarding separate enforcement of each condition if one is found to be illegal. No comments were made regarding the hours limitations, which I believe should be kept in place. We will rewrite the resolution accordingly, and recommend referral back to the Planning Commission. sir BOCCATO'S GROCERIES 3127 MANHATTAN AVENUE HERMOSA BEACH, CA 90254 May 2, 1991 Mr. Charles S. Vose, City Attorney City of Hermosa Beach c/o Oliver, Stoever, Barr & Vose 1000 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90012 Dear Mr. Vose: RECEIVED MAY 0 u 1991 CITY MGP. Thank you for meeting with us on April 18th and for discussing the City's position on the CUP process involving my business. Although you are aware that I oppose the CUP process for a number of reasons we discussed at our meeting, including State preemption issues, equity and equal protection issues, and technical inconsistencies in the City's ordinances, I would like to work out a set of conditions that I can live with and possibly avoid litagtion of the matter. You know that the basis for our position on the conditions is our belief that we are not requesting anything from the City, and that the CUP is your requirement, not something we want or need. Therefore, we are basing the acceptance of conditions on our ability to continue to operate our business without a loss of business opportunity or value or a loss of constitutional rights. Based on our discussion yesterday, I would propose the following conditions. 1. (formerly condition #3) The trash bins will be enclosed with a material acceptable to the City, or, if it is not physically possible to enclose the bins without losing a parking space, a variance will be applied for within six months of acceptance of this CUP. 2. (formerly condition #4) The parking area shall be repaired and resurfaced and shall be restriped in the same configuration as exists on the site within 90 days of resolution of the trash enclosure issue (condition #1). 3. (formerly condition #5) The business will take reasonable measures to prevent loitering, unruliness, and boisterous activities of patrons of the business who are outside the business and on the premises. 4. (formerly condition #6) A readable sign shall be posted prominently at the exit of the business telling patrons that the possession and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages on the public sidewalk, parking lot, beach, and/or any public place is prohibited by law. 5. (formerly condition #7) The CUP conditions shall be placed on the property in a place where employees can easily read the conditions required by the City. 6. (formerly condition #8) The condition will be deleted because it unfairly restricts my ability to make legal modifications to my grocery store without the cumbersome and unnecessary approval of the Planning Director. Page 2 Mr. Charles S. Vose CUP Conditions May 2, 1991 7. (formerly condition #9) The condition will be deleted because it is unduly onerous as written and is adequately covered in other sections of the Municipal Code. 8. (formerly condition #10) The condition will be deleted because it is redundent and is adequately covered in other sections of the Municipal Code. 9. (formerly condition #11) This condition will be modified to read, "The exterior of the premises shall be maintained in a neat and clean manner." 10. (formerly condition #12) The condition will be deleted because there is no need for it, nor justification for it in my area of the City. It is also not being applied uniformly throughout the City and puts my business at an unfair disadvantage. 11. (formerly condition #13) This condition is acceptable so long as we agree to the conditions being applied to the CUP. 12. (formerly condition #14) This condition is an unnecessary burden on me, and is unnecessary as the CUP is itself a legally binding document. I am willing, however, to compromise and record a statement that the CUP is in place. I do not want to have the entire CUP and conditions recorded. If the situation with the CUP changes in the future, for example, because of a change in State law, it would be extremely difficult to modify the recorded document without going through a laborous, costly, and unnecessary process with the City. I would ask that the condition be modified to read, "A statement that a CUP exists on the property shall be recorded, and proof of recordation shall be submitted to the Planning Department." 13. (formerly condition #15) This condition will be deleted because the Planning Commission has the right to review any CUP if there is reasonable justification to warrant it. We will not "agree to agree" to new unknown conditions. 14. (formerly condition #16) This condition is acceptable so long as we agree to the conditions being applied to the CUP. It is our understanding from our meeting that you and the City Manager will be suggesting modifications to the CUP conditions. I hope my interpretation of our discussion of the conditions will be helpful and will define my needs, hopefully to preclude litigation of the matter. Yours truly, 1411117 Fran Boccato cc: Kevin Northcraft e. February 26, 1991 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Regular Meeting of Hermosa Beach Planning Commission April 2, 1991 (CONTINUED FROM THE MEETING OF MARCH 5, 1991) SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP 91-1 LOCATION: 3127 MANHATTAN AVENUE APPLICANT: FRANK BOCCATO BOCCATO'S GROCERIES 3127 MANHATTAN AVENUE HERMOSA BEACH, CA 90254 REQUEST: FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OFF -SALE GENERAL ALCOHOL IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EXISTING GROCERY STORE ALREADY LICENSED BY A.B.C. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions contained in the attached resolution. Background At the meeting of March 5, 1991, the applicant requested continuance of this item to have more time for his attorney to study,:the isse. Additionally, he requested to drop the portion of the request pertaining to sale of adult videos. The Planning Commission granted the request for continuance and also directed staff and the applicant to take a closer look at the proposed trash enclosure requirement and if it would cause the loss of a parking space. For further background and project information please refer to the 3/5/91 staff report and the minutes. Analysis Staff returned to the site to measure the stalls and the existing trash dumpsters. The stalls are all compact stall dimensions (7'6" X 15') and the trash dumpster extends about four feet from the wall leaving only about 2-3" between the dumpster and the closest stall. It appears that the only way the dumpster can be enclosed without interfering with the tight parking arrangement is if a narrow fence, such as chain link with wooden slats, is used with the gate opening facing towards the sidewalk.. As such, staff continues to recommend that the dumpsters be enclosed -13 - as required by the Municipal Code at their existing location, but that chain link fence with wooden slats would be acceptable. All references to adult videos in the attached resolution of approval have been removed, since the applicant has indicated he does not plan to sell such items. Further, based on concerns of the applicant the staff has altered the wording of many of the recommended conditions and removed some unnecessary conditions. The intent of these conditions has not been changed, as clarification was the main purpose in recognition of the applicant's concern for potential abuse without more specific wording. For further analysis please refer to the attached 3/5/91 staff report. CONCUR: Michael Schubach Planning Director Ken Robertso Associate Planner Attachments 1. Proposed Resolution 2. P.C.

Background PROJECT INFORMATION: Zoning: C-1 General Plan: Neighborhood Commercial Lot Size: 3,850 sq. ft. Building Size: 2800 sq. ft. Current Use: Preexisting grocery store Parking Spaces: 5 Boccato's Groceries is located on the southwest corner of Manhattan Avenue and 32nd Street. It is the only use on the lot. The store is open from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday, and from to 10:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. on Sundays. The applicant indicates that the store is open until 12 midnight daily, during the summer. Boccato's is one of the remaining existing businesses selling alcoholic beverages subject to the alcohol amortization ordinance which have not obtained a Conditional Use Permit. At their meeting of January 17, 1991 the Staff Environmental Review Committee recommended an Environmental Negative Declaration, and recommended that the Planning Commission require the applicant to enclose the trash dumpsters behind a view obstructing fence and gate, and to slurry seal and restripe the parking lot. Analysis The requested C.U.P. would authorize the continued general alcohol sales and if approved would also allow the sale of adult videos and magazines. Staff is concerned with the proposal to add adult video sales. The proposed use of a liquor store\video sales could be a dangerous trend for wholesale opening of these type of businesses in establishments that service neighborhoods. Because of the proximity to residences, within a hundred feet, and the possible availability to minors for sale, it is felt by staff that this is not a proper mix of businesses. Also, Section 10-5 of the zoning ordinance states the sale of adult videos should be greater than 100 feet from residential property. According to our City Attorney, since the proposed video sales are only a small portion of the business, incidental to the alcohol sales, the city does not have the authority to deny the sales. As such staff is recommending that any adult video sales must be incidental to the grocery store / liquor sales, and should not represent more than 10% of the sales. Staff's only other concerns are related to the appearance of the parking lot. The existing two trash dumpsters are completely exposed to view and should be screened. Further, the parking lot striping is severely faded and the surface is uneven and in need of repair. Otherwise, since this is an existing grocery store/general alcohol sale business, staff believes the sale of alcohol should be allowed to continue subject to the attached conditions. The conditions are limited to standard conditions of the zoning ordinance, and conditions related to the trash dumpster and the parking lot surface. The standard conditions include a provision to require that single containers be sold in clear bags, and also, the Police Department has requested that an additional standard condition be included to require alcohol sale establishments to participate in the EASY program, ASY stands for Eliminate Alcohol Sales to Youth. ,CONCUR Michael Schubach Planning Director Attachments 1.

AND ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION AT 3127 MANHATTAN AVENUE. BOCCATO'S GROCERIES (CONTINUED FROM MARCH 5. 1991 MEETING). Director Schubach presented the staff report dated February 26, 1991, and recommended that the Planning Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions contained in the proposed Resolution. At the meeting of March 5, 1991, the applicant requested continuance of this item to have more time for his attorney to study the issue. He also asked that the portion of the P.C. Minutes 4/02/91 request pertaining to the sale of adult videos be dropped as he does not intend to sell C them. The Planning Commission granted the request for continuance and directed staff and the applicant to take a closer look at et the proposed trash enclosure requirement to determine if it would cause the loss of a parking space. The parking stalls are all 7' 6" by 15' and the trash dumpster extends about four feet from the wall, leaving only 2-3" between the dumpster and the closest stall. Therefor, it appears that a concrete block wall would not be practical as it would cause the loss of a parking space; the only possible type of fence would be a narrow fence such as a chain link with wooden slats, with the gate opening facing the sidewalk. Staff continues to recommend that the dumpster be enclosed es required by the Municipal Code. All references to adult videos have been removed in the proposed Resolution as the applicant has indicated he does not plan to sell such items. Further, due to concerns of the applicant, staff has altered the wording of many of the recommended conditions and removed some unnecessary conditions. Public Hearing was opened et 9:34 P.M. by Chmn. Ketz. Phil Freeland, 315 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, representing the applicant, addressed the commission and presented a petition containing 82 signatures, all in favor of Bocceto's Market, and that they were filing for this C.U.P. under protest Robert Benz, 2901 Manhattan Avenue, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission and, speaking as a resident of North Hermosa, expressed his appreciation for the services that were offered by Boccato's Market: convenience; neighborhood store; cleanliness; 22 years of service; and a delivery service to shut-ins. He continued that Mr. Boccato should not have to apply for a C.U.P. after 22 years as a conscientious businessman since there were no complaints about his store. Wilma Burt, 1 152 Seventh Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission to speak in favor of Boccato's Market and Mr. Boccato, and to speak against the requirement forcing him to apply for a C.U.P. She also questioned why the reference to adult videos was on the agenda, and felt that it gave the wrong impression. Churn. Ketz explained that adult videos had been removed from the Resolution, but it had been used in the legal noticing, and the agenda uses the wording from the legal noticing. Dennis Cleland, 434 - 28th Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission to speak in favor of Bocceto's Market and asked that nothing be done by the Commission that would force Mr. Boccato out of business. P.C. Minutes 4/02/91 c C Mr. Freeland made his summary and comments on the sixteen (16) conditions in the proposed Resolution: #1) was now deleted; #2) the hours of operation from 6 to 2 were acceptable as those were the hours on the existing A.B.C. license; #3) the conditions on the trash enclosure were unacceptable as (a) it physically would not work as there is only 5" between the durnpster and the parking stall, barely enough room to open a car door, any infringement on that space would eliminate the parking stall, and, (b) it would be ugly and provide no improvement to the existing situation; and, should it become necessary, they intend to apply for a variance in order to maintain the existing parking; #4) would be acceptable as long as the issue is resolved regarding the parking space; 4e5) is a problem in acceptance since there has never been a problem with customers at this grocery store, this type of condition applies to a bar where the customers are drinking on the premises; #6) is not acceptable because the signage is not required by the A.B.C. or the existing; A.B.C. license; it would be cumbersome, impact on limited display space, and obtrusive in the conduct of business; *7) is unreasonable considering the continued number, content, complexity, and scope of the impact of the condition being recommended; and, it infringes on 11r. Bocatto's personnel practices and has no impact on the proper operation of the business; #S) is unacceptable, as the phrase, "...any changes to the interior for the purpose of altering the primary use of the market...", is ambiguous; it does not define what Mr. Boccato can or cannot do in regard to interior remodeling without City approval; does it mean that the building can not be used for anything other than a market without prior approval through the C.U.P. process?; there are a number of legal use for the building other than a market allowed in the C-1zone that do not require a C.U.P. or City approval. We ask that it be removed because of ambiguity; #9) is overly broad and arbitrary and gives the City unfettered discretion and unconstitutional authority to cite or revoke the C.U.P.; violations of the zoning or Municipal code have definite penalties attached if the person or business is proven guilty; revocation of the C.U.P. must be based on reasonable grounds, not just any violation; the condition is totally arbitrary and by agreeing to it (which is what is required by this C.U.P.), Mr. Boccato is giving up basic Constitutional rights; #10) is redundant and therefor unnecessary; #1 1) there is no problem complying with this condition as Eoccato's Market has always prided itself on cleanliness; #12)13 pre-empted by State law; is not a requirement of the A.E.C. license; is discriminatory; how a business packages any item should be a choice of the business; has not been a problem therefor there is no justification for its requirement; -- /9— P.C. Minutes 4/02/91 13) is unacceptable, unless there is agreement by Mr. Bocatto that the conditions are acceptable prior to the action to approve the C.U.P., if the conditions are not accepted the C.U.P. cannot be approved; *14) object to recording an approved C.U.P., should that occur with conditions agreed to by the applicant as that clouds the title to the land and creates a cumbersome problem should the law change or be modified in the future; it puts unnecessary and unreasonable burdens on the property owner; *15) it is arbitrary and unreasonable that the Planning Commission may amend the P.U.C. or add new conditions to it; would not agree to such actions without a public hearing and without agreement to such conditions or amendments; agreement with this condition implies acceptance without any input, and as such is unacceptable; and, '15) as this may be challenged in court, they would not agree to severability. Mr. Freeland continued that they were not applying for the G.U.P., but were being forced to apply and strongly opposed the Commission's approval. In response to Comm. Rue's question of the possibility of smaller trash containers, Mr. Freeland replied that there were two bins there at the present time and were used to capacity, also, that there was no way to open the binds from the ends, they open from the top. C In response to Comm. Marks question regarding space from parking stall, Mr. Freeland replied that there was 5 inch clearance from the parking stall and the bin was approximately 5 feet wide. C - Comm. Peirce asked Mr. Freeland if Mr. Boccato intended to fight the condition requiring the trash dumpster to be enclosed. Mr. Freeland responded that he would not say that; he could only say that i.t is impossible to enclose the dumpster due to space restrictions, but Mr. Boccato would work with the City staff to try to find a solution as long as it did not require losing a parking space. Public Hearing closed at 9:58 P.M. by Chmn. Ketz. Comm. Rue replied to the concerns expressed by Mr. Freeland regarding the conditions to be imposed, he felt that *3, trash enclosure, was a question of parking versus enclosure and that a compromise could be reached. He did not want Mr. Bocatto to lose a parking space, but he felt that it was the City's right to improve appearances from the street. Regarding '5, he said that there was a proliferation of alcohol related businesses in town and that to be even-handed the City required C.U.P.s, which run with the land and require a new owner to abide with the conditions and provide continuity. — �c— P.C. Minutes 4/02/91 The signs relating to alcohol are needed to try to keep alcohol use off of the beach and the streets, Comm. Rue continued. If the use of the building is changed then the C.U.P. is brought up and must be changed, and that was the rational for the conditions on change of floor plans. The City sign laws must be complied with, he stated, and clear packaging on single containers was a means to address the problem of the proliferation of alcohol use and a larger concern than the store's right to package as it chose. And, finally, regarding recording the C.U.P., it runs with the land and as such is applicable, that all amendments and revocation procedures were public hearings, were legally noticed, and needed substantial findings. MOTION by Comm. Rue, seconded by Comm. Peirce to approve C.U.P. 91-1, with the following changes: condition No. 1 is deleted; and condition No. 5 should be agreed to by staff and the applicant with the understanding that it is the Commission's intent to remove the visibility of the trash container from the street.

Chmn. Ketz commented th the main issues relate to potential view/loss and setbacks. Comm. Rue stated that with • e two lots, he was surprised that the open space was not combined. He noted that overall t coverage is under the,allowed maximum. He felt that the projects could be consolidated, anhat attempts cou . be made to make the projects less intrusive bulkwise. Chmn.

This project is located in the C-1 zone, with a general plan designation of neighborhood commercial. The lot size is 3850 square feet, and the building size is 2800 square feet. The current use is as a preexisting grocery store. There are five parking spaces. Boccato's Groceries is located on the southwest corner of Manhattan Avenue and 32nd Street. It is the only use of the lot. The store is open from 9:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday, and from 10:00 A.M. until 8:00 P.M. on Sundays. The applicant indicates that the store is open until midnight daily during the summer. — 71-- P.C. Minutes 3/5/91 Boccato's is one of the remaining existing businesses selling alcoholic beverages subject to the alcohol amortization ordinance which has not obtained a conditional use permit. At their meeting of January 17, 1991, the staff environmental review committee recommended an environmental negative declaration and recommended that the Planning Commission require the applicant to enclose the trash dumpsters behind a view -obstructing fence and gate, and to slurry seal and restripe the parking lot. The requested CUP would authorize the continued general alcohol sales and if approved would also allow the sale of adult videos and magazines. Staff is concerned with the proposal to add adult video sales. The proposed use of a liquor store/video sales could be a dangerous trend for wholesale opening of these types of businesses in establishments that service neighborhoods. Because of the proximity to residences, within a hundred feet, and the possible availability to minors for sale, it is felt by staff that this is not a proper mix of businesses. Also, Section 10-5 of the zoning ordinance states the sale of adult videos should be greater than 100 feet from residential property. According to the City Attorney, since the proposed video sales are only a small portion of the business, incidental to the alcohol sales, the City does not have the authority to deny the sales. As such, staff recommend that any adult video sales must be incidental to the grocery store/liquor sales and should not represent more than 10 percent of the sales. Staffs only other concerns are related to the appearance of the parking lot. The existing two trash dumpsters are completely exposed to view and should be screened. Further, the parking lot striping is severely faded and the surface is uneven and in need of repair. Otherwise, since this is an existing grocery store/general alcohol sale business, staff felt that the sale of alcohol should be allowed to continue, subject to the proposed conditions. The conditions are limited to standard conditions of the zoning ordinance and conditions related to the trash dumpster and the parking lot surface. The standard conditions include a provision to require that single containers be sold in clear bags. The Police Department has also requested that a standard condition be added to require alcohol establishments to participate in the Eliminate Alcohol Sales to Youth (EASY) Program. Mr. Schubach, in response to a question from Comm. Peirce, explained that the requirement to screen the trash enclosure is a provision of the municipal code, not the zoning ordinance; however, staff has been including it as a standard condition in CUPs. Mr. Schubach, in response to a question from Comm. Peirce related to what the requirements for the pavement would be if this business were not applying for a CUP, explained that businesses are required by the parking ordinance to maintain their parking lots in a reasonable condition. Mr. Schubach, in response to a question from Comm. Marks, stated that no complaints have been received related to the hours of operation for this business. He noted, however, that several letters have been received from people who oppose this business having to obtain a CUP. Comm. Marks noted that this application had been filed under protest, and he asked for clarification on what this means. Mr. Schubach explained that the applicant was required by the City to apply for a CUP under the City's amortization process within two years of notice. Public Hearing opened by Chmn. Ketz. at 7:17 P.M. -z3- P.C. Minutes 3/5/91 Phil Freeland, 315 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, representing the applicant, addressed the Commission and: (1) said that the applicant is applying for this CUP under protest because he does not feel it is a legal requirement to obtain the CUP; (2) said the business has been in operation for 22 years and is legally "grandfathered in" because a CUP was not previously required; (3) said that the business has caused no problems in the past; (4) asked for a written legal opinion from the City Attorney related to the legal requirement for obtaining the CUP; (5) said that it is not within the purview of the City to require a CUP for a business already licensed by the State ABC and one which is in operation. Mr. Freeland continued and: (1) discussed the City's reasoning for the CUP requirement; (2) said that this business was licensed by the ABC long before the City applied alcohol sales requirements; (3) said that the business is compatible in its neighborhood; (4) objected to the recommended conditions as suggested by staff, explaining that the applicant feels many of the conditions are unreasonable, especially since this business has been in operation for many years; (5) said that if the CUP is denied because an agreement cannot be reached in regard to the conditions, and the business is subsequently forced to close, it would be a case of inverse condemnation. Mr. Freeland continued and: (1) stated that the City does not have the right to close the business without paying just compensation; (2) stated that he was not certain of the City's position on this matter; (3) asked for a written clarification; (4) asked that this hearing be continued for 30 days so that the attorney for the applicant can further study the matter and determine a course of action; (5) noted that the applicant would like to withdraw the portion of the request relating to adult videos, and all references to adult videos in the CUP, explaining that the applicant has no desire to sell such materials. Comm. Marks asked whether Mr. Freeland or the applicant had met with staff to discuss these issues, to which Mr. Freeland replied that over the past two years they have always maintained that Boccato's is a legally grandfathered use. He said that they have been in contact with City staff over the past two years regarding the requirement that they must apply for the CUP. He also noted that the applicant had received a letter from the City Attorney six months ago. Mr. Freeland stated that the issue is not that the applicant does not understand the requirement; rather, it is that the applicant objects to the requirement. Mr. Freeland, in response to a question from Comm. Peirce regarding which of the specific conditions the applicant disagrees with, stated that the applicant disagrees with all of the conditions, except the one which pertains to maintaining the property in a neat and clean manner. Mr. Freeland, in response to a question from Comm. Peirce, explained that they also object to the requirement that the trash area be enclosed. He explained that an enclosure would necessitate the loss of one on-site parking space. He said that since there are only five spaces, the loss of one space would be a substantial impact. He stressed that there is very little on - street parking, and any loss of on-site parking would be quite detrimental to this business. Mr. Freeland, in discussion with Comm. Peirce, stated that there is no way whatsoever to enclosure the trash area without the loss of one parking space. Comm. Marks asked whether the applicant has met with staff to discuss another possible location for the trash, to which Mr. Freeland replied in the negative. He noted, however, that they are open to options. Mr. Lee, in response to a request from Chmn. Ketz, discussed the City's legal stand on this issue. He stated that it is legally appropriate to bring such use within the conditional use permit process as allowed under the amortization ordinance. He stated, however, that since this is a use which was in effect prior to the CUP requirements, the Commission cannot impose conditions so stringent that it would force the business to terminate. He explained, however, — 2s-- P.C. Minutes 3/5/91 that reasonable conditions can be imposed which would mitigate adverse impacts created by the business. Mr. Lee continued by discussing past correspondence between his office that the applicant. He stated that alcohol-related conditions are preempted by State law, and he noted that no conditions in the CUP regulate the actual use of alcohol; rather, the conditions address the environmental issues raised by such use, not the actual sale of alcohol. Mr. Lee stated that the City is on good legal foundation in terms of moving forward with this conditional use permit. He stated that, if so desired by the Commission, his office would prepare additional material on this request. Mr. Lee, in response to a question from Chmn. Ketz, explained what would happen if the CUP were approved, and the applicant did not agree to the conditions. Comm. Rue suggested that the matter be continued so that the applicant and staff can discuss the issues. Public Hearing closed at 7:34 P.M. by Chmn. Ketz. Comm. Rue encouraged the applicant to come to an agreement with the City and try to come to an understanding of the conditional use permit process. He felt that it is important for the applicant to understand the City's position on this matter. Comm. Peirce felt that the only condition at issue is that relating to the trash enclosure. He did not feel it would be appropriate to have the City Attorney spend a lot of time and money preparing more information. He stated that laws are laws and should be complied with. Comm. Rue noted, however, that it is important for the applicant to understand the procedures. He felt it is worth an effort to reach such understanding to avert potential legal problems in the future. Comm. Peirce stated that he would agree to a one-month delay; however, he stressed that he did not want the City Attorney to spend money on further work. Comm. Marks stated that the only physical problem relates to the trash enclosure. He suggested, therefore, that the applicant meet with staff to resolve that problem. Chmn. Ketz agreed that she would like to see the applicant and staff come to a resolution on this problem. MOTION by Comm. Rue, seconded by Comm. Marks, to continue this item to the meeting of April 2, 1991, so that the applicant and staff can discuss these issues in an attempt to reach an agreement. AYES: Comms. Marks, Peirce, Rue, Chmn.

Hermosa Beach �. to This letter is to formally appeal to the City Council the April 2, 1991 determination of the Planning Commission to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 91-1 for Boccato's Groceries. I applied for the CUP under protest in order to maintain my administrative and legal remedies and I am appealing the Planning Commission determination for the same purpose. The action the Planning Commission took was illegal, there were no findings to justify the action to approve the CUP or to warrant application of the conditions on the CUP. The Planning Commission failed to address the legal issues raised by my attorney and approved a CUP that is inequitable in terms of the conditions applied and unconstitutional on its face. We request that no hearing date be scheduled before the City Council until after the City Attorney provides a public written legal opinion that specifically addresses each of the legal issues raised in John Murdock's March 27, 1991 letter to the Planning Commission and a determination is made as to the legality of the City's CUP process as it applies to Boccato's Groceries. cc: Planning Director ********* 3127 Manhattan Ave. Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 (213) 376-0574 r3 R 0 1991 TELEPHONE 12131 451.4793 �a- JOHN B. MURDOCK ATTORNEY AT LAW 225 SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD • SUITE 402 SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA 90401 March 27, 1991 Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach Civic Center 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885 Re: Boccato's Groceries CUP Application Hearing Date: April 2, 1991 EICiq Dear Commissioners: The following points of law are presented on behalf of Boccato's Groceries, in opposition to the proposed enforcement of CUP requirements under the Hermosa Beach Zoning Code. Boccato's Groceries has been operating continuously for over 22 years, and has held a valid, uninterrupted liquor license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for off -sale general liquor sales in connection with the grocery since prior to the CUP ordinances adopted in Hermosa Beach in Ordinance 86-865, Section 13.5 of the zoning code was adopted in 1986 and ostensibly requires an existing business which sells alcohol to comply with CUP requirements within 2 years or face the consequence that it "shall no longer have the legal authority to sell alcoholic beverages within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach" (§ 13.5(A)) or "shall no longer have the authority to operate" (§ 13.5(B)). Initially, we find that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and ambiguous. It is unclear exactly what the difference is between subsections A and B or whether it applies at all to an existing business which is not already required to have a CUP. Under subsection A, the ordinance applies "to establishments which sell alcohol and fall into any category of use which requires a conditional use permit in order to sell alcoholic beverages in the City of Hermosa Beach." This did not apply to Boccato's, because Boccato's is a food market which was not required to hold a CUP in the C-1 (§ 8-2) zone for off -sale liquor as part of a "food market". CUPs were required only as specified, e.g., in the C-2 zone under § 8-3, or for "liquor stores" in the C-1 zone. Since §§ 8-2 and 8-3 were adopted at the same time as part of Ordinance 86-865, it must be presumed there was an intent to require CUP in C-2 but not for food stores in the C-1 zone. Under subsection (B) of § 13.5, adopted by later amendment, it appears the city intended to require CUPs for the "remaining nonconforming commercial and manufacturing establishments"; however, the language of the ordinance still does not apply to Boccato's Grocery, because it states that it applies to the types of business establishments listed in Article 8 and Article 9, but then says that "All such establishments which do not possess a conditional use permit as required by Article 8 and Article 9 on the effective date of Ordinance No. 90-1041 shall be required to apply ...." The ordinance on its face, therefore, only applies to those establishments which are "required" under Article 8 or Article 9 to have a CUP. If they are required to have one and do not, they must apply. Since an existing food store such as Boccato's in the C-1 zone was not required to have a CUP under Article 8 or Article 9, the requirements of § 13.5(B) do not apply. Nevertheless, the city has sent notices to Boccato's stating that a CUP is required. An ordinance with penalties as severe as this one must be reasonably clear to the people who are required to comply with it, and this ordinance fails the test under constitutional standards of vagueness. See, e.g., Chalmers v. City of Los Angeles, 762 F.2d 753 (9th Cir. 1985); Grayned v. City of Rockford, 408 U.S. 104 (1972). Assuming, arguendo, that the ordinance in question applies to Boccato's, the terms of the ordinance require him to apply for and obtain a CUP in order to "have the legal authority to operate" the establishment per § 13.5(A) or "the portion of the establishment" per § 13.5(B). We believe this is invalid because it conflicts with state law directly on point and is preempted. As noted above, Boccato's has a liquor license from the ABC and is within the provisions of California Business and Professions Code §§23790, 23800. Under § 23790, a city may regulate new businesses selling alcohol by application of zoning ordinances, but those businesses which already have a valid ABC license are specifically given the authority to continue in operation under the same "rights and privileges" as long as they meet two conditions set forth in § 23790. The operative language of the code reads as follows: No retail license shall be issued which are located in any territory where the exercise of the rights and privileges conferred by the license is contrary to a valid zoning ordinance of any county or city. Premises which had been used in the exercise of those rights and privileges at a time prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance may continue operation under the following conditions: a) The premises retain the same type of retail liquor license within a license classification. b) The licensed premises are operated continuously without substantial change in mode or character of operation. (Id., emph. added). The legislature obviously has created an explicit grandfather clause which protects existing licensees from arbitrary application of new zoning requirements. The statute does not contain any provision authorizing local governments to impose amortization periods or new conditions. Hence, the provisions of Ordinance 86- 865 which purport to regulate or terminate liquor sales which predate the ordinance are invalid under article XX, section 22 of the California Constitution. See, Mussali v. City of Glendale, 252 Cal. Rptr. 299 (1988). The city attorney is apparently of the view that merely regulating the conditions surrounding the sale of alcohol, rather than the direct sale of alcohol per se, is permissible under the preemption doctrine and various cases interpreting the conditional provisions. However, the state legislature has further occupied the field regarding the conditions which may be imposed on retail liquor sales. Section 23800 authorizes the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to place "reasonable conditions" on the retail liquor seller, but only where there is a demonstrated need for the conditions to cure a problem arising from complaints, protests, or proposed revocation of the license. This statute provides as follows: Upon request of the licensee or applicant for a license the department may place reasonable conditions upon retail licensees or upon any licensee in the exercise of retail privileges in the following situations: a) If grounds exist for the denial of an application for a license or where a protest against the issuance of a license is filed and if the department finds that those grounds may be removed by the imposition of those conditions. b) Where findings are made by the department which would justify a suspension or revocation of a license, and where the imposition of a condition is reasonably related to those findings. In the case of a suspension, the conditions may be in lieu of or in addition to the suspension. c) Where the department issues an order suspending or revoking only a portion of the privileges to be exercised under the license. (B&P.0 § 23800; emph. added). Clearly, under established caselaw regarding preemption, where the state statutes evidence an intent to regulate or occupy a particular concern, local government may not intrude. While it may be argued that local government may have ancillary matters of concern, it is impermissible to intervene directly in those areas reserved for regulation by the state agency. In the above -quoted statute, the authority to impose "reasonable conditions" is granted to the state agency, and, even then, the power is granted only under specified circumstances where evidence exists and findings are made that the conditions are necessary to remove or mitigate demonstrable grounds for a protest or revocation. Since there has been no protest or grounds for revocation of Boccato's liquor license (to the contrary, there are letters of support), and the state agency has not found the need for any conditions to be placed on the sale of liquor, we find it difficult to see how the city can arbitrarily impose a set of fifteen conditions which have no basis in law or fact, and which create unreasonable burdens on the licensee. It is true that cities have been allowed to impose certain restrictions on liquor licensees which are not designed solely to regulate the sale of alcohol. For example, the court approved an ordinance in Berkeley requiring retailers to collect a deposit on all containers of malt beverages and soft drinks. (See, Park & Shop Markets, Inc., v. City of Berkeley (1981) 116 Cal. App. 3d 78, 172 Cal. Rptr. 515). In Ainsworth v. Bryant (1949) 34 Cal. 2d 465, an excise tax on retail purchases of alcohol was permissible, when it applied to all other retail items as well as alcohol. In both cases, the ordinances applied across the board to articles other than liquor, and liquor was merely one item subject to the regulation. In contrast, the entire purpose of Hermosa Beach Ordinance 86-865 was, and is, purportedly designed to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages. The sole justification for the imposition of all of the fifteen conditions listed in Section 10- 8 is that the business establishment is "engaged in the off-sale of alcoholic beverages"; no other businesses are subject to these provisions. Hence, the requirements of § 13.5 and § 10-8, taken together, amount to a requirement to apply for and obtain a license (regardless of the terminology calling it a "CUP") from the city of Hermosa Beach as a prerequisite to the sale of alcohol, under specified conditions. If the business fails to apply for and obtain this license (CUP) by paying the fees and agreeing to the conditions, the consequences purport to be that business "shall no longer have the legal authority to sell alcoholic beverages within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach". This is clearly in conflict with the constitution and the state codes authorizing the business to continue to sell alcohol under the same "rights and Privileges renioved] at a time prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance", per § 23790, supra, or under any "reasonable conditions" imposed by the ABC (not the city) in the event of a protest with evidence and findings warranting the imposition of such conditions, or in the face of findings which might warrant revocation, per §23800, supra. The legislature has set forth an entire scheme dealing with the imposition of conditions on the sale of liquor, in §§23800-23805, including penalties for violation. The city's application of Ordinance 86-865 is also unconstitutional as applied to Boccato's, a fact which is virtually admitted in the city's staff memorandum. Under the U.S. Constitution, the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment require that businesses not be subjected to arbitrary and unreasonable discrimination in the application of local regulations. This requirement also appears in Cal. Gov't Code §65852. The city staff's memorandum to the Commission dated June 11, 1990 points out an obvious inequity which cannot be tolerated, yet the problem has not been addressed and is in fact applicable to Boccato's. The memo states as follows: "Also, those uses with currently active C.U.P.'s which were granted in the past often have very different and less restrictive conditions than new C.U.P.'s. Thus, the imposition of conditions on the oldest businesses may create inequities as compared to some newer businesses which are essentially the same." (emph. added). Boccato's is one of the "oldest businesses" referred to above, and it is in fact now being required to comply with conditions which are more restrictive and onerous than those imposed on Alpha Beta, Lucky, or Vons. This is clearly unconstitutional and will be stricken by the courts without hesitation if imposed. On the face of it, Section 10-8 states that the "following conditions shall be imposed on all establishments engaged in the off -sale of alcoholic beverages"; however, the city is not requiring businesses with previously issued CUPs (such as Vons) to meet these 15 conditions, while it is requiring Boccato's - which predates the entire CUP process - to come into compliance or cease operating after a short 2 year amortization. There is no question that this is unconstitutional. In short, the entire scheme whereby Ordinance 86-865 attempts to license the sale of alcohol by imposing conditions is invalid as presented. It is clearly preempted by state law and is being applied in an arbitrary and discriminating manner. If the city attempts to deny a CUP or enforce its terms by requiring the business to cease the sale of liquor, it will be subject to damages and attorneys fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a deprivation of property without due process and for unequal enforcement of law. The city has entered into a field preempted by state law under the guisemof zoning, but the issue is clearly one of licensing the sale of alcohol and imposing conditions. Boccato's cannot agree to the conditions for the reasons set forth in a separate letter, and we suggest that a meeting with the city attorney might resolve the matter in an amicable manner. 'J fin B. Murdock cc: Boccato's Groceries BOCCATO'S GROCERIES March 26, 1991 Hermosa Beach Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Members of the Planning Commission: I wanted to write you this letter prior to the April 2, 1991 continued public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit being required by the City. I want to try and develop some understanding with you about my problems with this CUP process and the conditions being applied by the City. It is my understanding that it is the role of the Planning Commission to fairly and objectively review each matter before the Commission and make a determination that represents the best interests of the City, not just the opinion of the City Staff. I understand that role and respect it. I know the City needs to provide proper zoning standards for various land uses in the City and I respect their right and ability to do that. I also realize that I am just one business in the community which has to abide by reasonable community standards. I intend to and am willing to do that. However, it is quite clear to me that the Planning Commission has been led to believe by the Staff and City Attorney that there are no legal or other type of problems with requiring CUP's of existing businesses after a short amortization period and placing new and restrictive conditions on the operation of the businesses. The attitude is one of "There is no big problem, so why make an issue out of it?" I want to tell you that there is a problem, and it is a significant one. I would like to point out to you that because 20 -some existing businesses have gone along with this CUP process and accepted the attendant the conditions, does not validate the correctness or legality of the process. Nor should one assume that since no one has challenged the City imposed conditions being placed on the 20 -some CUP's, that they are not onerous or unreasonable. I believe the arguments below will substantiate my points. Only one member of the current Planning Commission was on the Commission when the determination was made to require the CUP process for existing businesses selling alcohol. For your information, the 1986 public record shows that the reason that the issue came up in the first place was because of problems with on -sale bars in the downtown area. In order to be able to 3127 MANHATTAN AVENUE HERMOSA BEACH, CA 90254 (213) 376-0574 Page 2 "get at" the downtown problem, a whole set of development standards were established which broadened the issue dramatically and subsequently encompassed all existing businesses selling alcohol, whether or not they were a problem. There were no fmdings made at the time, nor are there any being made now that support the need for a CUP or the attendant conditions for existing businesses like Boccato's Groceries. This CUP process was not adopted in 1986 to apply to nor was it intended for a grocery store business. This is some of the background I want to give you on the adoption of this CUP procedure to support the reason that I am opposed to having to apply for the CUP. However, there are other issues that are equally important and which I hope you will consider without prejudice before making a determination on my case. The City Attorney has advised you that you are obligated to approve the CUP, but that you can put reasonable conditions on it, although he has also said that granting a CUP is not a matter of right for the applicant. I find that completely contradictory. Additionally, a CUP application is submitted by an individual who is seeking a permit to undertake some type of business venture not normally allowed in the zone in which they are located. We currently have the right to operate,a grocery store in the C-1 zone and we have a legal ABC license to sell off -sale alcohol at that,location. Boccato's is not applying for anything. We were forced to make the application under threat of citation. This is why Mr. Freeland asked the City Attorney at the last hearing what happens if the CUP is denied? In order to approve a CUP, there must be agreement between the City and the applicant that the CUP and attendant conditions are acceptable. Otherwise, the CUP must be denied so as to not allow the business venture to operate. How can the City Attorney represent that you must approve the CUP, whether or not the applicant is willfully making a request for a right or privilege and whether or not the applicant is agreeing to all conditions? There is no sense to this argument and no logical conclusion to be made from the City Attorney's comments. Constitutionally, you cannot force a business to comply with CUP conditions with which they do not agree to comply with. The conditions have to be acceptable to the applicant or the CUP must be denied. Then the City may try to close the business or take away the alcohol license through the denial of the CUP under the ordinance but the City cannot approve an application with which there is no mutual agreement on the process and conditions. But the City Attorney says you cannot deny the CUP. That is why I raise these fundamental questions. And I would add that the City Attorney has not addressed this or other fundamental questions. He just continues to say the City has the right to carry out this process. Will someone on the Planning Commission ask that the specific issues be addressed? Or is it easier to pass it along to the City Council and subsequently have these issues litigated. It would seem that if the answers can be determined now, it would save a great deal of time and money for everyone. Has the City Attorney addressed the specific questions asked by Mr. Freeland at the last hearing? Please take it upon yourselves to get answers to these questions. Let me pose a specific question to you. If the City denies the CUP and/or apply conditions which I will not agree to because I deem them unreasonable, can the City force me to stop selling alcohol and/or Page 3 close my grocery store? This is not a loaded question. It is the bottom line on this entire issue and it has not been addressed by the City Attorney. My grocery store is an allowed use in the C-1 zone. It does not require a CUP. It is only because I sell alcohol that the City has established this CUP and conditioning process. I have a legal ABC license. Can the City revoke that State authorized license and if they do that and force me to close my business because it is no longer profitable because I cannot sell alcohol as part of that business, am I not losing basic constitutional rights to operate my business and am I not entitled to just compensation for the loss of the business and ability to use the property that I own? That is a technical legal issue which the City Attorney should be able to address. However, what about the ethical and moral question. What have I done as a business in the Hermosa Beach community for the past 22 years to now be required to obtain a CUP which basically says I am not an acceptable use in the area and a negative influence on the surrounding neighborhood unless I have all of the conditions applied to my business? I would answer that question by saying, "Nothing!". There is no justification to warrant this type of treatment. I have provided a good service to the Hermosa Beach community and one which I think is appreciated by the north Hermosa Beach neighborhood. I am sure that when this whole issue started that there was no intention to go after grocery stores. It was only to solve a downtown problem with bats and it got blown all out of proportion. What would be your findings that would warrant the application of the CUP process to my business? You can't just say, "Because we applied it to the other businesses". That is just not a justification, nor is the fact that, even though the other businesses accepted the process, reason enough for Boccato's to agree to this process. There simply is no justification. The whole issue of "grandfathering" has not been addressed by the City Attorney. The amortization period does not deal with the issue of "grandfathering". Boccato's Groceries has been in operation since before the City had CUP requirements. That is not the same issue as the City Attorney is addressing when he says, "The City can require a CUP after a two year amortization period". You cannot apply a zoning procedure such as this to a business that precedes the requirement for the procedure itself, and you certainly can't do it with a two year amortization procedure that has the potential to be a taking of the right for me to continue to operate my business. The issue of fair and equitable standards for all uses has not been addressed by the City Attorney. There are existing grocery store uses in the City including Von's, Alpha Beta, and even Lucky's, which just recently obtained a CUP, which have significantly less restrictive standards applied to the business than are being recommended for Boccato's. This is an unconstitutional abridgment of my right to operate my business in a competitive manner with other grocery stores in Hermosa Beach. Ironically, the public record from 1986 indicates that the City's reason for encompassing all alcohol selling establishments was to provide equal and standardized operating conditions. The City has not done this, even with the recent Lucky's CUP, which, for example, has longer hours of operation and no requirement for packaging single containers of alcohol in a clear plastic bag, than what is being recommended for Boccato's. Page 4 The issue of the legal State ABC license has also not been addressed by the City Attorney. We have no problem with the City applying a CUP and conditions on a new alcoholic beverage license. That is standard zoning procedure. But the process of applying conditions to an existing license is not standard, nor has the ABC stated that they would agree with this procedure if the ABC licensee was not in agreement with the conditions. Please ask the City Attorney to address Business & Professions Code Section 23790 which specifically authorizes my continued operation under my existing ABC license since it was granted prior to the existence of the zoning requirement for a CUP. There is a legal preemption issue here of large proportion. The staff have tried to skirt it by forcing compliance with the alcohol related conditions under the guise of agreement by the applicant in obtaining the CUP. I will not agree to any alteration of my existing ABC license. How does the City Attorney believe the alcohol related conditions can be applied to my ABC license when I will not agree to them unless I deem them reasonable, which the current conditions are not? I would further point out to you that some of the previously applied conditions, deemed reasonable and legal when applied last year to Robert's Liquor were later judged to be illegal in a Superior Court case involving a Pacoima liquor store, requiring your City Attorney to later amend the conditions. This fact only punctuates our point that one should not accept the proposed CUP conditions as less than onerous without careful scrutiny. There are serious problems with the conditions which I will discuss below. There is also something inherently wrong with requiring CUP conditions that must be tested in court to determine their validity. It is expensive and time consuming for both the applicant and the City. It would seem to me that if there was any question about the reasonableness or legality of a condition, it should not be applied. It does not appear that the City takes that attitude but applies an overabundance of cumbersome conditions that are not workable and are certainly questionable in terms of reasonableness and legality. They expect the applicant to challenge them if they don't believe they are reasonable. That is not a fair or just way to operate and I would hope the Planning Commission would view the proposed conditions with these points in mind. Honestly, if I can get a reasonable answer from the City Attorney to this and my other questions in this letter, and he can show me sound legal reasons why I must comply with Ordinance 86-865 and the conditions being recommended by Staff, I will not push this any further. I am not out to be recalcitrant or challenge the City on any question. I sensed that the Commission felt that I was just taking an unreasonable position for the sake of battling the City. That is just not the case. However, to date, not only are my questions about the process not answered, there is a complete unwillingness by the City Attorney to be specific about any of the issues, almost to the point that it seems there is something to hide by his not answering the questions. As well, the response that has been made to date by the City Attorney is contradictory and makes no legal or reasonable sense. I don't believe my position of expecting clear and concise answers is unreasonable at all. With regard to the individual conditions, I will give you specific comments which I intend to share with the City Staff prior to April 2nd, in hopes that you will better understand my position and possibly the Staff will alter its position. Page 5 Although there are a number of different specific reasons why the conditions are unacceptable, I would like to pose a hypothetical scenario to yoti to show you the most pragmatic reason why I cannot accept the conditions, and am totally amazed, that others have apparently been so freely willing to put themselves and their businesses in jeopardy and give up their basic rights. Assume that everyone in the City is reasonable today and would not take advantage of anyone's legal, moral, or ethical right to operate a business in the City. Under those circumstances, it could be possible to argue that the conditions being recommended would never be a problem. However, these conditions require that they be on the deed to the property. They are permanent and binding. Now suppose an overzealous City zoning administrator is hired in Hermosa Beach and the City Council supports their every administrative action. And suppose this City zoning administrator decides to revoke a CUP. The wording of the current CUP conditions is so onerous that the City could put me or any other businessperson out of business with the most flimsy excuse. Now you could say that this could never happen and one always has the legal right to object. Read the conditions carefully. By agreeing to the conditions, one is giving away every legal right to challenge the City, should they attempt to revoke the business's CUP. Worse is, even the smallest infraction of the municipal code, by definition, is reason enough for revocation. It could happen. I will not give up my rights, either because I am "grandfathered" by my existence in business for 22 years or because my rights are guaranteed under the U. S. Constitution. Read the conditions carefully and think about what could happen. For example, if I changed some counter space in the store without obtaining approval of the Planning Director, that is a violation of the CUP and I have no right to challenge an overzealous zoning administrator if they wanted to revoke my CUP. I have no rights under this scenario. Regardless of its hypothetical nature, I am not willing to accept the possibility of ever facing this scenario as a result of my agreeing to the current conditions being recommended by the City Staff. And even if it was suggested by the City that I still had the legal right to challenge the City if they tried to revoke my CUP for some minor violation, I should not have to ever face that burden because of some of these onerous conditions that need not be applied in the first place. The CUP and its attendant conditions are to provide a reasonable operating standard under which a business can operate without threat and the City can be assured that the business will not be a problem. Aside from the other problems with the CUP process described above, this whole conditioning process has gotten completely out of control, with a set of development standards devised that go well beyond "a reasonable operating standard". Please review my comments on the proposed conditions. Page 6 1. The requirement that the establishment shall not adversely affect the welfare or residents, and/or commercial establishments nearby is ambiguous and does not define any specific conditions that can be interpreted or understood in terms of determining what "adversely affect the welfare..." means. We are unwilling to accept such an ambiguous condition. 2. The hours of operation proposed (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight) are not acceptable. Although we do not currently open until 9:00 a.m. and currently close at 9:00 p.m.(eccept during the summer), there is no purpose served by limiting the hours of operation. Should we wish to open at 8:00 a.m., there would be no impact on the area in which we are located. We are already allowed to sell alcoholic beverages until 2:00 a.m. (under our existing ABC license) so we will not accept a condition that limits our current legal State license. Further, this condition is discriminatory, in that, other businesses in the City are allowed to be open longer hours than this condition will allow. 3. There is no physical way to enclose the trash enclosures without losing parking on the site. ro - Since there is limited parking already, it is unacceptable for Boccato's to lose a parking space - to accommodate a trash enclosure. Meeting this condition would reduce Boccato's parking by 20%. There is no other location on the site for a trash enclosure. Since parking is so critical to the success of Boccato's business, we cannot accept this condition. Should it be necessary, we are willing to apply for a specific waiver from the zoning code so that we can maintain all of our parking. 4. The requirement that the parking area must be slurry sealed and restriped in the same configuration that currently exists will not work if the trash enclosure condition is required. Additionally, it is our intent to fully resurface the parking area. with new concrete which we believe is the proper way to improve the parking area. Due to the conflict with the trash enclosure issue and the wording which would require us to make an inadequate improvement to the parking area, this condition is unacceptable. 5. The requirement that the business shall be responsible for preventing loitering, unruliness, and boisterous activities of the patrons outside the business or in the immediate area is unreasonable. There has never been any problem of this nature in Boccato's 22 years of operation. This might be a condition for an on -sale liquor establishment (a bar in the downtown) but is not appropriate for a neighborhood grocery store located where Boccato's is. Further, it is unreasonable for the City to expect a grocery store business to control the conduct of people once they are out of the store and certainly not once they are off the property. Boccato's is not authorized as an agent of the law to carry out this function, nor do we wish to, nor should we be required to take on this liability. 6. The requirement for signs relating to the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages is not required by the ABC and is not a requirement of Boccato's current ABC license. Although Page 7 Boccato's Groceries supports the local laws regarding the sale and consumption of alcohol in public places, it is not our role to enforce such laws except as they apply to our ABC license, nor do we have the ability to do that. Further, the requirement is cumbersome, would negatively impact our limited display area and would be obtrusive in the conduct of our business. Therefore, the requirement is not one we are willing to accept. 7. The requirement for an employee to always be on duty who is aware of the CUP conditions and the requirement for requiring acknowledgement of reading and understanding the CUP by all management employees is unreasonable considering the number, content, complexity, scope and impact of the conditions being recommended. This requirement infringes on my personnel practices and has no impact on the proper operation of the business. However, should a limited set of reasonable CUP conditions be approved, we would not object to the condition. 8. Since we are withdrawing our application to sell adult videos, there is no reason for this condition. It should be removed. 9. Condition #9 is similar to Condition #19 and unacceptable for the same reasons. Section "A" is unnecessary, in that we have asked that any reference to the sale of adult videos be removed from our application. Section "B", which refers to "anything illegal for a minor to view shall not be displayed from an area where a minor could view such objects", is vague and ambiguous. There is no definition of terms as to what "anything illegal" means, making it impossible to understand or enforce such a requirement. We will not accept this type of a requirement. 10. The requirement that any violation of the conditions of the CUP and/or violation of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code shall be grounds for an immediate revocation hearing and/or citation is unreasonable. It is overly broad and arbitrary and gives the City unfettered discretion and unconstitutional authority to cite or revoke the CUP. Violations of the zoning code or other violations of the Municipal Code have defined penalties attached, if a person or business is proven guilty. A revocation hearing on a CUP must be based on reasonable grounds, not "any" violation. The condition is totally arbitrary and by agreeing to it Boccato's would be giving up basic constitutional rights. 11. The prohibition against video signs, including window signs, is an infringement on Boccato's right to conduct normal day to day business and, in fact, prohibits the business from its right to advertise. The wording is undefined regarding, whether or not the prohibition relates only to adult videos or to all videos. The City has no authority to limit advertising of video sales or rental so long as it conforms to the City's sign ordinance. The wording of this condition is clearly unconstitutional. 12. The home delivery of videos or magazines prohibition is unacceptable. This condition does not define what videos or magazines are prohibited from being delivered or if this only applies 3 8— Page 8 to adult videos and magazines. The City has no right to make such a prohibition and limit the services that Boccato's provides. Boccato's Groceries has provided home delivery of items since it opened 22 years ago. Such a prohibition would negatively affect Boccato's day to day business operation. This is an unconstitutional abridgement of Boccato's right to freely operate the grocery store business. 13. The requirement that measures shall be taken to control loitering on the public sidewalk is unreasonable, in that, Boccato's has no such problem. Further, we have no responsibility for or ability to do anything to control the activities of people once they are off our premises. We are not an authorized agent of the law to carry out this function, nor do we wish to, nor should we be required to take on this liability. We cannot accept this condition for these reasons. 14. Boccato's has no difficulty with Condition #14, in that we pride ourselves in the neat and clean appearance of the store, both on the inside and outside. 15. The requirement that alcoholic beverages shall only be sold to individuals over 21 years of age isfaunacceptable. By the requirements of State law and our ABC license, we cannot sell alcoholic beverages to individuals under the age of 21. The ABC controls that requirement and has penalties for violations. This is not a local government issue as it is preempted by State law. Boccato's will abide by its legal requirement and obligation under its ABC license and current State law. 16. The requirement that individual containers of alcohol shall be packaged in clear bags is not a current requirement of our ABC license. The wording is vague and ambiguous, in that it includes all individual containers of alcohol in the requirement. The intent of the requirement requires definition, i.e., does it only mean single beers?). The requirement is also discriminatory, in that, it is only being applied to a few businesses in Hermosa Beach. Additionally, how a business packages any item sold in its grocery store should be the choice of the business and not regulated by the City under the guise that the application of the requirement will have a positive impact on the compatibility of the business on the area in which it is located. The issue, creating the supposed need for the requirement, is not a problem in the neighborhood. Therefore, no justification for the requirement can be made. 17. The requirement for participation in the "EASY" program is not acceptable. The program is not defined and, therefore, the relevance of the condition is unknown as it relates to Boccato's business. We object to the term "verified and monitored by the police department". This terminology is ambiguous and provides no specific criteria for verification and monitoring. We are unwilling to accept ambiguous conditions or participate in an undefined program of this nature. Additionally, whatever kind of program this is, it should be voluntary in nature and not Page 9 applied as a requirement, especially when it is not a requirement of Boccato's current ABC license. If it requires attending meetings by employees or taking up business time for some type of training, such a requirement is unreasonable and unconstitutional. 18. Condition #18 is the same as Condition #10. It is unacceptable for the reasons discussed in # 10. 19. The requirement that any change to the exterior or interior design of the building or business shall be approved by the Planning Director infringes on Boccato's ability to conduct a normal day to day business operation. We object to it for the same reasons as we object to condition #9. This condition would require that even the most minor change to the interior of the building, such as moving a counter or fixture would require prior approval. This is an unreasonable condition, in that it gives the Planning Director control over the conduct of business activity that is clearly not in the Planning Director's purview. Additionally, there is no positive impact that the requirement would have that would make the business more compatible with the surrounding area or improve the conduct of the business. 20. The requirement that the CUP will only be effective after Boccato's has submitted a signed and notarized acceptance of conditions form is obviously unacceptable unless there is agreement by Boccato's that the conditions are acceptable prior to action by the City to approve the CUP. There is no need for this condition because if the conditions are not acceptable, the CUP will not be approved by the City. 21. Boccato's objects to recording an approved CUP, should that occur with conditions agreed to by the applicant. This clouds title to the land and creates a cumbersome problem should laws change or be modified in the future. Should the CUP be approved and agreed to by the applicant, it is a binding legal document on its own. There is no need for such a recordation as it puts an unnecessary and unreasonable burden on the owner of the property. 22. The requirement that the Planning Commission may amend the conditions of the CUP or add new conditions is arbitrary and unreasonable. Boccato's will not agree to allowing such actions without a public hearing, and will not agree to agree to such a condition. Agreement with the condition implies that Boccato's would be willing to accept additional conditions without its input or acceptance. Obviously, Boccato's is unwilling to accept this type of open condition. 23. Because the CUP and the conditions may eventually challenged in court, Boccato's will not agree to the severability condition defined in Condition #23. In conclusion, the application of the Conditional Use Permit process on an existing business that has successfully been in operation for many years without any problem with the community or Page 10 the neighborhood in which it is located is a clear infringement on the right of the business to operate in a reasonable manner. Although there is a legal opinion from the City Attorney that says the City is obligated to approve the CUP and can only apply reasonable conditions, the fact of the matter is that these regulations are a taking of business opportunity, and in the case of denial of the CUP, a taking of the business. The City has attempted to sldrt this whole issue by saying that they have the right to apply the CUP and consequent requirements because there is some kind of incompatibility issue involved with the business use in question. No findings can be made supporting any incompatibility of Boccato's Groceries with the surrounding neighborhood or community. Therefore, there is no need for the CUP or the consequent conditions. The incompatibility issue used by the City to justify the CUP requirement is wholly based and substantiated on the control of the sale of alcoholic beverages. The State of California controls and regulates the sale of alcohol by local businesses. They permit cities to apply conditions to new ABC permits, so long as they are reasonable conditions. The proposed resolution to implement the CUP states that the CUP is to allow off -sale General liquor, in conjunction with a market. This is incorrect. Boccato's is already legally licensed to sell alcoholic beverages and has been for many years. Even if the City had the right to add new conditions to an existing ABC license, which we firmly believe they cannot do (in accordance with Section 23790 of the State Business & Professions Code) there are no findings that can be made to substantiate any need for conditions relating to the sale of alcohol at Boccato's. Further, the conditions the City is attempting to apply are unreasonable, arbitrary, and ambiguous, and most have nothing to do with the supposed reason the CUP is being required (control of the sale of alcoholic beverages). Boccato's Groceries is unwilling to agree to the proposed CUP and the recommended conditions, as the CUP and the conditions are currently defined, for the reasons described, and requests that the Planning Commission determine an appropriate, fair and equitable course of action based on my statements in this letter and the letter from my attorney, which you will also receive prior to April 2nd. Yours truly, Frank Boccato BOCCATO'S GROCERIES CUP 91-1 Conditional Use Permit to sell adult videos and for off -sale general alcohol in conjunction with an existing market already licensed by A.B.C. at 3127 Manhattan Avenue, Boccato's Groceries.

Boccato's Groceries has been in operation as a neighborhood grocery store at 3127 Manhattan Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA for twenty years. Before I purchased it, it was also a neighborhood grocery store for a number of years. To my knowledge, the business, prior to and under my ownership, has always been a permitted use in the C-1, Neighborhood Commercial Zone and has always had an ABC license. No special entitlements have ever been required for the business. The business operates from 9 AM to 9 PM on weekdays and Saturday and 10 AM to 8 PM on Sunday. During the summer, we are open until 12 midnight, daily. The grocery business is conducted on one level, the ground floor, with storage of merchandise on a loft level above a portion of the ground floor. The parking and loading area is in front of the store. There are five parking spaces. The existing building covers the entire lot except for the parking/loading area. The business has eight fulltime employees including myself and I employee approximately twelve local students as parttime employees with usually four of them working at any one time. The business has approximately 250 customers a day, many of whom are from the immediate neighborhood and walk to the store. Boccato's Groceries is a needed service in the north Hermosa Beach area. We provide personal attention to our customers including grocery delivery to those who need it. We are well-respected by our clientele and we have a loyal group of customers who have shopped at Boccato's for many years. I hope this properly describes my grocery store business.

I am filing this Conditional Use Permit application under protest. I am being required to do this by the City and am not doing it of my own volition. I do not believe the City of Hermosa Beach has the authority to require the CUP.

I reserve the right to file for a refund of all fees and costs involved in the CUP process. I also reserve the right to decline to agree to any CUP conditions that affect my ability to conduct business in the same manner that I am currently operating or to conditions that are unreasonable or preempted by other governmental authority.

Boccato's has operated for many years providing a needed service to the community, Arbitrary requiring this business to submit to a litany of unreasonable conditions is not only unwarranted but contrary to the needs of the community, In my opinion, the requirements outlined in the Conditional Permit over step the bounds set by normal governmental prar, Furthermore, some requirements are probably unconstitution.: requirement number 17 dictates that the business owner participate in the EASY program. 1 don't doubt the intentions of the author of this permit. However, the requirement violates the i -,voluntary serv4tude statute of the United States Constitution Requirement 16 mandates that only clear plastic bags shall be to package containers of alcohol. This requirement is not unreasonable and based on incorrect inferences as to the caust_ oublic drinking but the requirement also mandates the use of .east effective biodegradable method of packaging. the sheer subjectiveness of this permit lends itself to abuses from the city bureaucracy. The permit states that the dumpst.ers which are exposed to view should be screened from view. Who is risking this determination? Another subjective observation and associated demand regards the supposed poor condition of the parking. In apparent disregard to the standards of the Civil Engineering Code, the permit mandates the use of slurry seal to alleviate the problem, One regulation mandates that the planning director be given final word on any changes within the owners property. Such a reau'v:ion erroneously assumes that the planning director possesses gee insight to the operation and modificat.ions within the business. The conditional use process was developed to min ;ate nega :e impacts from proposed business activities, There has beer. ,,o negative impacts from the operation of this business. Boccato's Grocery is successful because the business offers a service to the community. The public health, safety and welfare is promoted by the successful operation of this business. Forcing this business to operated under this permit will negatively impact this business and possibly force this business to relocate to escape the draconian regulations within the permit. Therefore, the imposition of this permit on this existing business will negatively impact the area which is contrary to Char -tared goals of the Conditional use Permit Process.

Boccato's Market offers a wonderful full range of quality services that strongly benefits this surrounding area. It is operated under the utmost professionalism, consciousness, and integrity. For it is the people, the local tax paying residents, who are privileged to have a local market such as this. In regards to your CUP requirement, I fail to see your legal right to do so based on its 22 year existence and excellent track record within the community. What I do see is a dictatorial government that will hurt more than it helps. Furthermore, I also am aware of, and in disfavor with, the many ridiculous conditions being applied. I am referring to accepting unknown requirements to be laid down at in the future. I am referring to the requirement of future modifications being approved by the city. I am referring to clear plastic bags for the purchase of alcohol. All three of the above mentioned impede the flow of this fine community service, but point 3 is especially disturbing. Myself, I use a canvass reusable bag to haul my groceries to help our environment by stopping unnecessary waste. I call it instant recycling, but then again your not familiar with RECYCLING. This is evident by this city's non existent program even though all surrounding cities do. This recycling issue is where your efforts could be appreciated by all. In closing, leave BOCCATO'S MARKET free to operate as it chooses and focus your efforts on something more valuable to the community such as a recycling program. Sincerely: --411.E, "� ^ Ken R.

I am in favor of denying the appeal, as staff recommends. Last year in April I wrote in opposition to changing the General Plan here to medium density from low density. A compromise on was finally reached on that issue; however, condominium conversion was never mentioned. In short, I want my low-density, single-family neighborhood to remain that way; that's the quality of life I bought into with my property taxes. I specifically do not trust the City to hold the line at just one condo conversion here, if it is allowed. The self -admitted nonfeasance of the City in taking action on south Prospect traffic issues is a glaring example of how this neighborhood is treated by the Council and staff. In more than three years and two dozen letters, the City has made plain that it has no vision for Prospect traffic (and by extension, the neighborhood). And where there is no vision ...

Background At their meeting of April 2, 1991, the Planning Commission denied the request by a 4:1 vote, because of the existing structure is inconsistent with the general plan density limitation for the site and does not comply with current zoning standards in regards to density, height, open space, and the front setback.

CLELAND 865 MANHATTAN BEACH BLVD MANHATTAN BEACH, CA 90266 REQUESTS: CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION OF THREE EXISTING UNITS of Recommendation Staff recommends denial of the proposed conversion by adopting the attached resolution because the existing three dwelling units are not consistent with the density limitations of the General Plan designation for the subject site and do not comply with current zoning requirements in regards to density, height, open space and front setbacks. Alternative If the Planning Commission finds merit in the proposal, however, recognizing that the structures already exist and that the potential conversion to owner occupied housing may actually be a benefit to the community, the conversion may be approved pursuant to the state subdivision map act which provides an exemption for subdivisions of air space in existing structures from general plan consistency requirements. Background Project Information: Lot Size: Existing Living Area: Unit A: Unit B: Unit C: Existing Parking Spaces: Guest Parking Spaces: 5281 Sq. Ft. 1794 Sq. Ft. 1896 Sq. Ft. 2233 Sq. Ft. 6 w/ 2 in tandem 4, located in setback behind garages The subject property contains two attached units with access from Meyer Court, and a separate detached unit with access from Barney Court. Six enclosed parking spaces are provided for the units in three two -car garages (one of them is a tandem garage). - 3 - The three units were constructed as one development in 1987. This was prior to the City's efforts to bring the area into general plan and zoning consistency. At the time of issuance of building permits for the project the zoning was R-2 and the General Plan was Low Density Residential. Since that time, and after several public hearings at both the Planning Commission and City Council to resolve the zoning and general plan inconsistency, the area bounded by Barney Court and Meyer Court (known as Area 10) was ultimately rezoned and General Plan amended to Specific Plan Area No. 2 (despite the recommendation of the Planning Commission for R -2B zoning and Medium Density Residential on the General Plan). As a result the S.P.A. now serves as both the zoning and general plan designations and the allowed density under the S.P.A. allows a maximum of two units on the subject property. Analysis The zoning code includes a provision that "the planning commission shall require that condominium conversions conform to the current requirements of the city codes, including building codes and Division 2 of this article, and to the general plan of the city" (Section 7.2-30). The existing three units do not conform to current zoning as only two -units are permitted per lot and, as such, are legally nonconforming to zoning density requirements. More critically, the current general plan designation of S.P.A. also has a density limitation of two units per lot, therefore the project is not consistent with the general plan. Additionally, the currently applicable S.P.A. allows the construction of only two detached units per lot, with a 25 foot height limit. The S.P.A. also requires open space and setbacks consistent with R-1 zoning requirements. The existing three units, however, were partially attached and constructed to the then applicable R-2 standards in terms of height, open space, and setbacks. As such the project is nonconforming in all essential elements of the zoning requirements: density; height; open space; and front setbacks. Given all the above inconsistencies, there is clearly adequate grounds for denial. However, Section 7.2-27 of the same ordinance, empowers the planning commission to, among other things: "...vary any and all requirements contained herein with regard to a particular conversion proposal upon a finding that the creation of the proposed condominium conversion will not have the potential to contravene the intent and purposes of this ordinance...." Thus, with a finding that the subject buildings are already in existence and, in terms of the effect on the community, that the conversion of these units to owner occupied housing would be a benefit, it seems that the Planning Commission may be able to find grounds for approval. Furthermore, owner occupancy is one _ _ of the stated goals of the Housing Element of the General Plan (objective no. 24). The inconsistency with the City's General Plan however, presents another obstacle to making findings for approval. The State Subdivision Map Act, Section 66427.2 provides an exemption for subdivision of air space of existing structures from the normally applicable general plan consistency requirements. The City Attorney has advised staff that this general state law provision, therefore, gives the Commission authority to approve the project, but it does not require that it be approved. In sum, the existing structure proposed to be converted is severely deficient in meeting current requirements of the zoning ordinance and is inconsistent with the general plan. Staff believes that the severity of the inconsistencies warrant denial, even though staff generally supports the concept that conversions to home ownership can benefit a neighborhood in that owner occupants are usually more concerned about long term care, maintenance and stability of the property. Further, conversion of existing structures to divided ownership would probably not result in any negative impact on surrounding properties. Otherwise, the application substantially complies with the remaining requirements of the zoning ordinance and the State Map Act :in terms of notification of existing tenants, a tenant assistance plan, and the preparation of a physical report. The submitted plans and documentation, however, do not clearly demonstrate compliance with sound transmission and storage requirements of the condominium ordianance. Staff has included a condition in the alternative resolution that evidence of compliance be provided prior to approal o,(l77t.he final map.

Director Schubach presented the staff report dated March 13, 1991, and recommended denial of the proposed conversion by adoption of proposed resolution because the existing three dwelling units are not consistent with the density limitations of the General Plan designation for the subject site and do not comply with current zoning requirements in regards to density, height, open space and front setbacks. The project lot size is 5281 square feet and contains two attached units of 1794 and 1896 square feet respectively, both with access from Meyer Court, and a separate detached unit of 2233 square feet with access from Barney Court. Six enclosed parking spaces are provided in three two car garages (one is a tandem garage), and four guest parking spaces are located in the setback behind the garages. The three units were constructed as one development in 1987. This was prior to the City's efforts to bring the area into consistency with the General Plan and zoning. At the time of issuance of building permits the zoning was R-2 and the General Pian was Low Density Residential. CSubsequently, after public hearings to resolve the zoning and General Plan inconsistencies before both the Planning Commission and the City Council, the area bounded.by Barney Court and Meyer Court (known as Area 10) was ultimately rezoned and the General Pian amended to Specific Plan Area No. 2. As a result the S.P.A. now serves as both the zoning and General Plan designations and the allowed density under the S.P.A. allows a maximum of two units on the subject property. The zoning code require that condominium conversions conform to the current city codes, for which the S.P.A. has a density limit of two detached units per lot, a 25 foot height limit, and open space and setbacks consistent with R-1 zoning. This project of three units, two of which are attached, are constructed to the then applicable R-2 standards in terms of height, open space, and setbacks. As such, the project is non -conforming in all essential elements of the zoning requirements, which is adequate grounds for denial. However, with a finding that the subject buildings are already in existence and, in terms of the effect on the community, that the conversion of these units to owner occupied housing would be a benefit, it is possible that the Planning Commission may find grounds for approval, as owner occupancy is one of the stated goals of the Housing Element of the General Plan. 12- P.C.

Katz. Dennis Cleland, 434 2 th Street, Hermosa Beach, applicant, addressed the Commission and explained that this. was ars existing 3 -unit apartment complex that was built to condominium standards and it was his belief that it would be a benefit to the City_ and the community if it were allowed to be converted to town house ownership. He also mentioned that part of the code allows a contribution from the owner for the possible approval of a conversion; that he had spoken to members of staff and had offered to contribute equipment or cash to the Senior Citizens if this would be a consideration. Comm. Di Monda questioned why he had not applied for condominiums from the start. Mr. Cleland replied that at the time the project was started, three years ago, the City was starting to rezone and there was consideration of a rnoratoriurn on new construction, so it was felt that it would be better to apply for apartments, build them, and then apply for conversion, since it was felt that the area would be zoned R-2, medium density. And, that the Planning Commission had recommended medium density for the area but had been turned down by the City Council. Mr. Cleland agreed with Comm. Marks that in essence he had taken a gamble and had lost on the ultimate zoning, but at the time, in R-2 zones, if the lot was large enough, three units could be built. He further stated that the project vias designed to blend in with the neighborhood; the detached unit was nearest the single family homes and was only 25 feet in height and the two attached units were next to the R-3 apartments. Mike Meyers, 1 104 First Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission and disputed some of the statements made by Mr. Cleland, he stated that at the time the owner was turned down for condominiums, but the City had to allow apartments. He then asked for clarification from Director Schubach who said that this was basically correct. There was case law that the City had to allow apartments as long as they conformed to existing zoning and were ministerial (required only a building permit to go ahead), but condominiums were discretionary and required a C.U.P. so therefore could be denied. Mr. Meyer's continued that he felt the conversion should be denied; the project did not meet any of the existing standards and you don't reward someone who would have only been allowed to build two units if he had originally gone for condominiums, but had built as much as he could as apartments and now asks fora conversion. —/3— P.C. Minutes 4/02/19` 1 1 C or; complimented them on how attractive the new buildings were, and expressed pleasure that the old building was being replaced. He further stated that at the time of building, the project was not out of conformity with the zoning, he and his partners had agreed to the new zoning that now made the project non -conforming. In response to Comm. Rue's question of whether home ownership promoted a better neighborhood, Mr. Meyers replied that he would rather have apartments so that a precedent would not be set. Jerry Burdick, 1106 First Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission and expressed his concern that it appeared that Mr. Cleland was offering a bribe in order to have his conversion approved. He stated that he was against conversion approval and felt it would be a giant step backward for the community. Jim Moss, 472 36th Place, Manhattan Beach, investor, addressed the Commission and stated that he had invested in the project in order to own a condominium and become a resident of Hermosa Beach. He felt conversion would enhance the neighborhood by allowing home ownership rather than renters. Steve Harris, 23 Barney Court, Hermosa Beach, investor, addressed the Commission and said although he was not involved in the initial phase of the project, it was his understanding the original request was for condominiums, but that had been rejected. He said that ,at the time of building the project the neighbors had stopped bu and had Comm. Di iLonda asked who the architect was. Mr Cleland replied that Pat Kilian was the original architect of record, but had moved out of town and Jerry Compton was local and had taken over for him. Ruth Brand, 1231 First Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission and declared her opposition to the conversion on grounds that it contravened the intent and purpose of City Council Ordinance No. 90-1044; City Council Resolution No. 90-5398; and with three owners it could, at some time, open the City for possible litigation. She further stated that the structure was over the 30 foot height limit; that Barney was a one-way street: and regarding the in -lieu fees, the monies could be better used to make the structure more compatible with the neighborhood, zoning, and S.P.A. Wilma Burt, 1 152 Seventh Street, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission and stressed her opposition to condominiums in a residential area, she stated that in apartments a disruptive tenant could be forced to move but a disruptive owner was there forpver continued the she was incensed that a staff member or a City Kttorneq would suggest that a contribution could be made in exchange for a conversion. P.C. Minutes 4/09/q1 C Comm. Rue asked if Mrs. Burt knew of in -lieu fees for parking and Senior Citizen housing? She replied that she did but did not approve of them. Asst. City Attorney Lee explained that the in -lieu fees were specifically provided within the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code and not a suggestion on any City official's part that would characterize this as a bribe. That it is a section within the City code that allows for conditional approval and considers in -lieu as an offsetting factor to approving a project where the Commission, in its discretion, would find otherwise unique advantages and benefits to the community and provides that such offsetting factors would include, but not be limited to, the addition to the City or the donation to the City, or other public agency or non-profit, of funds for permanent use of Senior Citizen, handicapped, or low and moderate income persons; something that would go into a fund or account of the City to provide housing for people in a category that require it. The in -lieu is allowed as an offsetting factor. Robert Benz, 2901 Manhattan avenue, Hermosa Beach, addressed the Commission to ask if there was a schedule for the in -lieu fees. Asst. City Attorney Lee responded that there was no schedule, the City code said that the number of said donated units or the amount of in -lieu would be established by Resolution r of City Council consistent with the policies of the Hermosa Beach General Plan. Director Schubach explained that the State had laws requiring all cities to provide a certain amount of low and moderate income housing and in -lieu is one of the means by which the state allows this to be done. If a condominium conversion displaces low and moderate income uses, the City can require, as a condition of the conversion, that some units be set aside for low and moderate sale and rental. This was done when the Commodore was converted, the in -lieu was required at that time as a means to offset the social impact of the conversion. L Asst. City Attorney Lee stated that in -lieu was a provision of the code that the Commission may look at as a relevant factor, to be regarded or not, at the discretion of the Commission and in this case it has been offered by the developer as a potential offsetting factor. However, the payment of in -lieu, in no way, entitles the developer to a higher density than that allowed by law. Mr. Cleland finalized by saying that he was the one who had read of the in -lieu fees and suggested their application to staff, in order to offer something to the City beside town homes. The reality is that there are three apartments on the site at this time, conversion will not increase density or parking, and the City will have the benefit of a higher tax base and the new owners will have the benefit of home ownership rather than renting. - P.C. Minutes 4/02/91 Public Hearing closed at 9:09 P.M. by Chmn. Ketz. Comm. Pierce questioned tandem parking in an R-2 zone and asked if Barney and Meyer Courts would be considered alleys or streets. Director Schubach responded they were streets but he believed the parking was adequate. Comm. Rue felt the project had been built to condominium specifications, the project was on the low end of R-2 zoning at 16 dwellings per acre whereas R-1 allowed 13 dwellings per acre, that it fell in the buffer area of commercial at the bottom on Pacific Coast Highway and R-1 at the top of the hill, and finally it was a unique project that would not set a precedent.

(ORD. NO. 79-630, - 1,12-18-79) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 1120822 FOR A THREE - UNIT CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION AT 23 BARNEY COURT, 18 AND 20 MEYER COURT Mr. Schubach stated that the application submitted does not comply with the filing requirements contained in Sections 17.2-0 through 17.2-23 of the zoning ordinance pertaining to condominium conversions. The applicants have been notified of this oversight, and they are currently working on preparing the appropriate materials. Mr. Schubach explained that tenants must be notified 60 days prior to the application for a permit. This has not yet been done by the applicant. Staff recommended that this matter b'e'continued to a specified date in order to allow the applicant time to complete the application in accordance with the filing requirements for a condominium conversion. Mr. Lough noted that condominium conversions do not arise often. With the 60 -day notification requirement, he suggested that the matter be continued to more than 60 days so that there is adequate time for the applicant to comply. Chmn. Peirce suggested that the matter be continued by June 20, 1989, which is more than 601 days away. He noted that the Commission has no material on this matter at this time. He stated, however, that he would open the public hearing and continue it. Public Hearing opened at 8:27 P.M. by Chmn. Peirce. Gerry Compton, 200 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, project architect, stated that he has never before done a condominium conversion in this city. He stated that the tenants will be notified as required by the code. Mike Meyers, 1104 1st Street, Hermosa Beach, felt that a builder bought this property; built three apartments; and intended to convert them to condominiums based on the fact he felt they could be sold as individual units. He felt that the applicant is attempting to circumvent the requirements. He noted concern over this happening again in the future, and he did not feel this is fair. Mr. Meyers felt that this item should be renoticed to the surrounding neighbors so that they can attend the next hearing. Sam Edgerton, 1118 2nd Street, Hermosa Street, noted that on April 25, the City Council will be changing the density for this area. He suggested that that will have a direct impact on this project; therefore, he felt that the items should be taken together. Chmn. Peirce suggested that Mr. Edgerton attend the City Council on April 25 to voice his opinion. Mr. Edgerton noted concern over future condominium conversions in the City. Chmn. Peirce stated that, since the Commissioners had no information whatsoever on this project, the matter would not be discussed until the meeting on June 20. Mr. Schubach, in response to questions from Mr. Edgerton, explained the past actions taken in regard to the density designations. He noted that no density increase would be created by this condo conversion; three units exist, and three units are being proposed. P.C. Minutes 4/18/89 Mr. Compton stated that this is an unusual circumstance. He stated that the property was purchased when the general plan designation for the area was low density and the area was zoned R-2. He explained that general plan changes were upcoming; therefore, the applicant built apartments. He noted that the area was ultimately designated R -2B. Mr. Compton stated that this building is built to all of the condominium ordinance requirements. Public Hearing continued by Chmn. Peirce at 8:37 P.M. to the meeting of June 20, 1989. Chmn. Peirce stated that this matter would be continued to the Planning Commission , meeting of June 20, 1989; Chmn. Peirce commented that it would be reasonable to ask the applicant to renotice this matter. Mr. Compton stated that the matter would be renoticed. TEXT AMENDMENT TO ELIMINATE VIDEO SALES IN THE C-1 AND C-2 ZONES AND ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION Mr. Schubach gave staff report dated April 12, 1989. At the February 14, 1989, City Council Meeting, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to review deleting video sales and rentals from the permitted use list. At the time video sale's -,and rentals were added to the permitted use list, it was believed that adult, X-rated tapes could be completely banned. Since these types of tapes cannot be completely prohibited, elimination of the use from the list,is necessary. It is believed by staff that both the C-1 and C-2 zones are in too close proximity to residential development. Other communities'and the County prohibit such uses within hundreds of feet of residential development, although it appears from the most recent court decision, no community can prohibit sales and/or -rental of this type of material within a certain distance as long as it is not the "predominant use." Therefore, video sales and rentals in general have a potential to be more obnoxious and deleterious to the community than other allowed uses in the C-1 and C-2 zones.` N� Staff recommended that the Planning Commission remove video sales and rentals from the permitted use list for the C-1 and C-2 zones. l%" Public Hearing opened and closed at 8:39 P.M. by Chmn. Peirce, since no one came forward to speak on this matter. N� ,, Comm. Rue noted that,tlie resolution refers to only the C-1 zone. Mr. Schubach explained that anything allowed in the C-1 zone is also allowedNin the C-2 zone. He not d,'however, that this resolution does not include the C-3 zone. Comm. �e asked what would happen to any establishment currently selling X\i�d videos ip the C-1 and C-2 zones. Mr.'Schubach noted that there is currently only one such establishment. 37 P.C.

COMPTON _' 111 An Architectural Corporation DATE: MARCH 12, 1991 TO: HERMOSA BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: GWC INC. RE: BARNEY COURT CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION • GENERAL PLAN ANALYSIS Chairman & Commissioners: .OR 1 9 1991 Since the City Council has broken their deadlocked vote on the General Plan designation, through the use of an SPA classification, we are again before you with our conversion request. It is our understanding that the City Coucils compromise plan approval was to have allowed for both the local R-1 residents concerns about over building and my clients concerns over his capability to request this conversion under the new zoning and general plan designations, ie SPA Zoning and SPA General Plan. In reviewing our application, the planning staff has identified what they feel are competing general plan goals/objectives and standards in this case. These are, first a stated objective # 21 which clearly favors fostering an increase in individual ownership of dwelling units (see staff report information) ; and second is the obvious density standard which has been established by the SPA to be 2000 sq.ft. per unit with a maximum of two units per lot. The existing project is three units. The argument can be made that since the density has already been established in this case, the over-riding factor to be considered would be the individual home ownership objective, which would clearly be furthered by an affirmative vote even though it does not conform to the density standard. The question in my mind while reviewing this argument was, which holds more weight under the State General Plan Laws, an objective/goal or an established standard? I feel I am able to answer that question using the definitions on page 10 of "General Plan Guidelines" book (see attached). The initial statement says: "State law refers to, but does not define or RANK, "objectives," "policies," "principles," "standards," "plan proposals," and "programs" in the general plan." This statement, I assume, leaves to the descretion of the local jurisdiction to attach "Rank of Importance" characteristics to the different elements of their adopted General Plan, and I sincerely hope you agree that the objective of individual home ownership ranks higher in this case than the density standard which 11 1200 Artesia Blvd., Suite 300, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Tel. (213) 379-8222 Modem/Fax (213) 372-4873 39^ will not be affected by your action since it already exists and is therefore moot in this case. The only positive effect on our General Plan available to you in this case would be approval of the conversion. Conversely, denial would have the negative effect of disallowing individual ownership while having no effect on density. In closing, we feel that the city and neighboorhood has nothing to lose and 3 good homeowning neighbors to gain, with the attendant pride of ownership and long term commitment to the community which many times is found lacking in the rental environment. My client has also expressed an interest in providing an additional incentive for the neighborhood and city residents at large through the possible donation of recreational equipment for the newly acquired Edith Rodaway Park which is the closest openspace recreational area to the conversion location. We feel our request is resonable with an end product that will be a benefit to the community and would urge your approval. Thank you for your attention, Gerald'W.

The proposed reor- ganization recommends that the Data Processing and Citation Records Processing Divisions be assigned to the Finance Director. The current Personnel Authorization in the Finance Department includes: Finance Director - 1 Accountant - 1 Sr. Account Clerk - 2.75 Account Clerk - 2 The Finance Director is currently directly responsible for the supervision of the personnel in the department. With the pro- posed reorganization, the Director will assume responsibility for two additional divisions with a personnel authorization of six employees (2 in Data Processing, 3 in Citation Records Process- ing, and 1 Administrative Aide). The Data Processing and Citation Records Processing Divisions each have a mid -management level employee who supervises the functions of the division. At present, there is no such level in the Finance Department. The lack of this level position in the Finance Department was raised as a concern during staff discus- sions regarding the reorganization and staff was instructed to analyze this need. Subsequent to development of the proposal to SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION i reorganize the G.S. Department, the incumbent Sr. Account Clerk in the three-quarter position tendered her resignation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, staff prepared a Class Specifica- tion for Finance Supervisor to replace the Sr. Account Clerk position to address the need for the mid -management level posi- tion in the Finance Department. Analysis: The analysis is divided into the following sections: 1) Personnel Allocation Change 2) Class Specification - Finance Supervisor 3) Salary Range 4) Fiscal Impact Personnel Allocation Change It is anticipated that, with the additional assignment of the two divisions, at least 20% of the Director's time will be spent di- recting those functions. Initially, with the current activities of the Data Processing Division which includes the analysis of the existing City computer system, the time commitment will be even greater. The proposed Finance Supervisor position will al- low the Director to assign portions of the responsibility for some of the Finance functions currently performed by the Direc- tor. These functions include budget preparation, audit coordina- tion and preparation of the comprehensive annual financial report along with much of the daily supervision of the department. The duties of the existing Sr. Account Clerk will either be performed by this new position or absorbed by the other personnel in the Department. Staff is also requesting from the City's auditors, Coopers and Lybrand, a proposal to provide a management audit of the Finance Department to review internal controls and identify any opportun- ties for increased economy and efficiency or convenience for cus- tomers. The reorganization presents an opportune time to address the location and duties of personnel. The RFP for audit purposes required set rates to be used for additional services outside the scope of the audit. The FY 90/91 and 91/92 budgets contain an appropriation for management audits. A detailed work plan and cost will be brought to the Council at a subsequent meeting. Class Specification: The attached class specification was developed following a review of similar class specifications from other municipalities and an analysis of the needs of the Department. Following review and approval by the Finance Director and the Union, it was submitted to the Civil Service Board and approved on May 7, 1991. This classification will be included in the Administrative Bar- gaining Unit represented by the Teamster Union, Local 911. Salary Range: It is proposed that the salary range for this position be es- tablished to provide a 15% differential above the existing salary range of the Accountant position. The Accountant is the next lower level position which will be supervised by the Finance Supervisor. The proposed range is as follows: A B C D E 2563 2691 2825 2967 3115 A survey of other cities with a similar classification indicates that the recommended range is approximately 5% below the average salary of those cities. Fiscal Impact: There is an initial overall annual savings in salary and benefits of $51,348 which is the difference between the annual savings from the elimination of the General Services Director position ($68,592) and the increased annual cost of the proposed Finance Supervisor position over that of the current 3/4 time Sr. Account Clerk ($17,244). The increased cost of the Finance Supervisor is a factor of both having this a be full time position as well as the increased sal- ary range. Respectfully submitted, (11X47L4476.41 Robert A.

Northcraft, City Manager City of Hermosa Beach Michael K. Flaherty, Chief Union Steward, California Teamsters Public, Professional & Medical Employees Union, Local 911 April 18, 1991 Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of the Hermosa Beach City Council of April 23, 1991 GENERAL SERVICES REORGANIZATION Recommendation: It is recommended to approve the reorganization of the General Services Department as depicted on the attached organization chart, to place the Data Processing and related functions in the Finance Department, with the remainder of the department assigned to a division assigned to the City Manager. Background: In December, 1989, the General Services Director Joan Noon re- tired after fifteen years service. In 1989-90, a reorganization task force conducted a study to determine alternative ways of organizing the functions of the General Services Department. Two basic options resulted from that study: 1) to leave the depart- ment essentially as it is and recruit a new director, or 2) to divide the department's functions among the existing departments. At the time, it appeared that the least disruption of the or- ganization would be caused by appointing a new General Services Director. This was accomplished and the director was hired on August 27, 1990. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of the diverse functions of the General Services Department made it difficult for the City to hire someone with those diverse abilities, given the City's ability to pay. As the current director is leaving as of April 30, it appears appropriate to consider the information from the task force study and the conclusions reached from that study. Section 2-14.4, Hermosa Beach City Code, authorizes the City Man- ager to recommend reorganizations to the Council. Analysis: Reorganization. There is new information that the City has now that were not prevalent during the original task force study. For one, it is clearer now that the City's ability to pay does not result in applicants with abilities in the multiple fields of the General Services Department. Further, it is now much clearer that our data processing efforts likely will be decentralizing, with the core integrated computer applications to be focused in the Finance Department. Third, we are now reviewing the options to contract for both Police and Parking Enforcement services, we have an active Vehicle Parking District, and we have several areas of review going on in our Parking Enforcement division. Weighing the results of our experience and of the additional in- formation, the City should proceed with the second alternative of - 1 - the task force recommendation, to divide the functions of the department into appropriate other existing departments in the City. Data processing naturally fits with the Finance Department for the reasons cited above. Telecommunications appropriately should stay with data processing, especially if our future tele- communication lines are utilized both for data processing and voice communications. The decision of where parking enforcement should be assigned is more complex. The advantages to consider the Police Department for such assignment are: the department has an extensive manage- ment level (one Chief and four Commanders) that could absorb ad- ditional responsibilities, and the on -duty Sergeant/Watch Commander could assist supervision of the parking enforcement personnel. Unfortunately, there are much more significant disadvantages to this option at this time. These are: 1) assigning parking enforcement to the Police Department has a history of failure in our City, largely because the inherent problems of a Police Department utilizing all available resources for its highest priority, which is public safety. As a result, parking enforcement does not receive the priority that our parking problems demand. It is for these reasons that the current trend for cities that have large parking issues is to separate parking from the public safety arena. 2) The existing span of control of our Public Safety Depart- ment, which represents approximately 50% of the employees and budget, make it unworkable to consider expanding that broad span of control. Ongoing issues aggravated by the current span would multiply with broadening the span. As- signing parking enforcement to the Public Safety Department would result in one departmenthead having authority over roughly two-thirds of the organization. This would result in a vertical organization with one super department below the City Manager followed by six very small departments. 3) Putting a large civilian enforcement work force under sworn police officers would be placing management responsibilities with personnel for which their career path does not prepare them. This is the wrong direction, as the strong trend in municipal government is to remove civilian efforts from the supervision of sworn employees. These civilian functions can be better managed from disciplines related to their functions by lower compensated, non -sworn employees. For these reasons, I am very comfortable with the recommendation that parking enforcement should not be placed in the Public Safe- ty Department. There are obviously opportunities to provide savings in our Police Department by review of the management levels that can be done independently of any reorganization in- volving parking enforcement. This decision should be reviewed if - 2 - either parking enforcement or police is contracted, as many of the reasons that reorganization in the Public Safety Department will not work would be mitigated. Pending the results of the contracting issue, I am proposing that the parking enforcement division be assigned to the City Manager. This will give me an opportunity to give personal attention to the functional and organizational issues of the department and to learn better the parking related issues in our community. Such a temporary assignment worked well in my former city, and I am con- fident it will work, though it will place a burden on the City Manager's office. If the contracting issue is resolved and no contracting of current functions occurs, then the division ulti- mately should be assigned to a new code enforcement department or an Assistant City Manager position. Other actions. In addition to these basic recommendations, many other options of reorganizing individual functions were con- sidered and reviewed for the Parking Enforcement division. The most difficult one was the placement of the citation processing activity, which has many advantages in being assigned either to Parking Enforcement or the Finance Department. The recommenda- tion is to place it in the Finance Department principally to pro- vide a one-stop citizen counter for parking enforcement and to eliminate cash handling at Base 3. While these recommendations will result in the elimination of a department head's position at considerable savings, additional costs will be required to implement these recommendations suc- cessfully. These include one time costs for remodeling of Base 3, the basement of City Hall, and the Finance Department. Fur- ther, in order for the Finance Director to take on these addi- tional responsibilities, additional staff support will need to be provided that may result in an increase in accounting support, though no new full-time positions are being considered. Finally, more use of consultants will be used to provide techni- cal expertise in areas that will no longer be available to the City via the General Services Director. Despite these additional costs, it is estimated that the minimum annual savings to the City will be at least $40,000. This recommendation results from the original general services reorganization task force recommendations, and the recent input of department heads, General Services supervisors, and the General Services officers. evin B.

AIDE 5—/c/— May —// May 6, 1991 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of the Hermosa Beach City Council May 14, 1991 CONFIRMATION OF PROCEDURE FOR RATIFICATION OF DEMANDS AND WARRANTS Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 91- confirming the procedure for ratification of demands and warrants. Background: The Finance Department submits a demand list of payments being made at each Council meeting. Some checks have already been issued if discounts, deadlines or reservations require immediate payment. This approval cycle means that, for the most part, checks are issued twice a month. The Government Code prescribes procedures for payment of demands in Sections 37202 and 37208 (attached). Summarizing, 1) Checks for payrolls need not be audited prior to payment, but are submitted at the first meeting after the payroll is delivered. 2 3 4 Checks for demands which are certified/approved by the Finance Director as conforming to a budget need not be audited prior to payment. (note: the actual code indicates "City Clerk", however HBMC Sec. 2-22.2 transfers those duties to the Finance Director) Budgeted payrolls and demands may be presented for ratification/approval in the form of an audited comprehensive annual financial report. Exceptions to the above are to be audited prior to approval and shall have an affidavit certifying as to accuracy and availability of funds attached. The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code places responsibility for disbursement of monies and control over expenditures with the Finance Director. Analysis: The demand list is currently presented to Council for approval at each meeting. The majority of the checks are then mailed the following morning. Staff is requesting that the Council confirm the procedure already allowed by the Government Code whereby checks could be issued weekly or as needed, with ratification by the Council at the meeting following check issuance. The certification statement on the last page of the demands and warrants will be altered to certify conformance with the budget as required by Government Code Section 37208 (b). The City Attorney was consulted prior to development of the recommendation and we both concur that ratification at the next meeting is a better alternative than an annual summarized presentation as suggested by Item 3 under "Background". His memo is attached for further clarification. Consistent with City Council Goal #2, Improve Efficiency/ Effectiveness of Operations, staff believes that increasing the frequency of check writing will increase the efficiency/ effectiveness of the accounts payable operation. The flow of work will be smoothed by issuing a smaller number of checks each week, rather than the large numbers of demands that build up between meetings. The change will also eliminate most manual warrants which are generated when immediate payment is necessary. There is more room for error on these manual checks than on the usual computer generated checks and they are more time consuming to issue. (183 manual checks were issued in 89-90) Processing checks on a flexible schedule allows the City to take advantage of all discounts offered and avoids making payments earlier than necessary, which are both consistent with City Council goal #1, Improve Financial Picture. A more flexible schedule also allows timely refund of deposits and payment of other amounts owed. Most discounts offered are 2% within 10 days which is a hard time frame to meet with the current schedule. Lost discounts for 89-90 were approximately $1,600. While this is not a lot of money, the City should take advantage of savings when possible. Staff conducted a survey of fifteen cities to determine current practice in the surrounding cities. As shown by the attached survey, only six cities submit demands to Council for approval prior to check issuance. Three cities do not send demands to Council at all and six send them after issuance as is being recommended. Respectfully submitted, 6:44: Viki Copeland Finance Director Concur: Kevin B. North 'aft City Manager City Treasurer Comments: After careful consideration I agree with this recommendation. My initial concern that the City would lose interest revenue because of the accelerated demand payment has no merit. To the contrary, I think we can better stage payments to take advantage of dis- counts and terms, thereby negating any investment interest lost.

Vose, City Attorney DATE: March 11, 1991 RE: Requirements for Payment of Warrants TELECOPIER (213) 482-5336 RE0c t , ;:;Thi You have previously inquired as to the minimum requirements for the payments of warrants, specifically the restrictions regarding ratification and pre -approval by the City Council (legislative body). Government Code Section 37202 states, in pertinent part, as follows: . . . The legislative body shall approve or reject demands only after such demands have been audited in the manner prescribed by ordinance or resolution. Such audited demands may be submitted separately or a register of audited demands may be submitted to the legislative body for approval or rejection . . ." There are certain exceptions from this section which are set forth in Government Code Section 37208 which includes the following: "1. Payroll warrants or checks which are required to "be presented to the legislative body for ratification and approval at the first meeting after delivery of the payroll warrants or checks. OLIVER, STOEVER, BARR & VOSE Memo to Viki Copeland, Finance Director March 11, 1991 Page 2. 2. Warrants or checks drawn in payment of demands 'need not be audited by the legislative body prior to payment' when certified or approved by the City Clerk as conforming to a budget approved by ordinance or resolution of the legislative body." Furthermore, Section 37203 allows the legislative body, by ordinance or resolution to prescribe an alternate method of drawing warrants and checks. As you are probably aware, Government Code Section 37209 establishes that the legislative body, by ordinance, may transfer the duties imposed on the City Clerk relating to fiscal matters to the Finance Director. The City Council has transferred these duties as set forth in Article IIA of Chapter 2 of the Hermosa Beach City Code. The City of Hermosa Beach has been following a procedure which requires approval by the city council prior to payment on the majority of warrants for many years. Government Code Section 37200 et seq. provides for alternatives to this process. If the City desires to change from its current process of approval and payment of warrants and checks, I suggest that a new procedure be submitted to the City Council by ordinance or resolution for approval. It seems to me that when the City Council, acting as a legislative body, approves a line item budget on various matters, each individual expenditure need not be audited by the legislative body prior to payment as long as the Finance Director certifies that the individual warrant or check drawn in payment of the demand conforms to the approved budget. As set forth in an opinion by a prior City Attorney (Charles J. Post) Government Code Section 37202 does not require Councilmembers to personally audit each demand presented for payment. That is the function of the Director of Finance. It is the duty of the Councilmembers to approve the warrant unless the Councilmember reasonably concludes that approval of the demand is improper. An improper demand is one not budgeted, not appropriated, excessive in amount, submitted by mistake for services not rendered, or otherwise contrary to the law.

Should you desire to proceed with a change in the current warrant process, we should confer again to review the specific process that you would recommend to the City Council.

BACKGROUND One of the listed objectives from City Council is to establish a code of ethical conduct for City employees. The intent in doing so was not to infer that there has been a lack of attention by employees to their ethical obligations; rather to convey in a formal sense, the spirit of the organization to new employees as they join the workforce. While there are many formal City policies and ordinances'that effectively address ethical issues already, the Code of Ethics is designed as a tool of communication and not as a tool for disciplinary actions by the organization. Thus while it may serve as a basis for future examination of policies and as a reference point for regulations, it does not in and of itself act as one. ANALYSIS Staff researched other City codes; codes of conduct for professional organizations (i.e., International City Managers Association) and current articles about ethics in formulating the Hermosa Beach Code. An attempt was made to integrate the best and most relevant elements of other codes with what seems to be important to the Hermosa Beach organization (i.e., the citizen as the customer). Thematically, the code seeks to convey a spirit of excellence in service; avoidance of the appearance of impropriety and the importance of upholding the public trust. The Josephson Institute for the Advancement of Ethics (located in Santa Monica) was contacted for advice and information about where a Code of Conduct fits into an ethics program. The Institute sees a Code as a necessary beginning for calling attention to the ethical obligations of public service. The City may want to consider adopting and implementing future ethics programs including a code for elected officials and training workshops for ethical decision making. 1 10 Staff hopes that with Council's support, the Code of Ethics will not only impart important information to the employees but will also provide a source of pride for the organization as a whole in providing the best in service for Hermosa Beach. Other alternatives available to Council include: 1. Revise the Code of Ethics 2. Do not adopt a Code of Ethics 3. Request more information 4. In addition to adopting the Code of Ethics provide funds for ethics workshops and training for employees. Respectfully submitted, Concur: evin B.
