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.
The following explanations may help you to understand the terms found on most agendas for
meetings of the Hermosa Beach City Council.

requires a majority affirmative vote. Any Councilmember may remove an item from this

ADJOURNMENT at"11:33pm to a Closed Session to be held on Thursday, April 13, 1995,\
6:30pm.
From: Concerned Homeowners and Residents -Downtown Hermosa Beach
RECEIVED
.77. 3 1995
CITY MGR. OFFICE
As homeowners and residents of the downtown area in Hermosa Beach, we applaud the efforts
of the Planning Commision and the City Council to improve the business district of Hermosa
Beach.
We are however, concerned about the current parking situation in the surrounding
neighborhood of the downtown area. Specifically the areas bordered by h Street to the
south, th Street to the north, Hermosa Avenue to the west, and Monterey Ave. to the
east.
The current street signage allows daily parking on the residential portion of the downtown area,
as described above, as follows:
1 hour parking only May 15 - Sept. 15 8:00 am - 5 pm unless with resident permit.
No parking 2am 6 am anytime without resident permit.
The current signage allows anyone who comes into Hermosa Beach who does not have a
resident permit, the privilege of not having to pay for parking in the area surrounding the
downtown area anytime from Sept. 16th - May 14th for any length of time, anytime of day except
2 am - 6 am. and from May15th Sept.=15 anytime after 5 pm until 2 a.m. unless 1 hour only as
stated above.
Since the City would like to bring in new businesses downtown, it should be aware of the
following: parking for residents in the residential sections is extremely difficult, particularly in
those areas 1 block immediately north and south of Pier Avenue. Sometimes it is necessary to
park 3 - 4 blocks away, after driving around for 10 minutes looking for a parking space. Many of
vehicles occupying the spaces on the residential streets belong not to residents, but to patrons
owners, and employees of the local businesses and restaurants, particularly in the evening
hours. We feel it is unfair to the local residents and homeowners who pay taxes on the property,
and who support the local businesses as well, to have to live with this major and unfair
- inconvenience. Also, it is a loss in revenue for the City because those people do not park in the
City lots.
We propose the following equitable alternative:
Parking in the residential area described above surrounding the downtown area would be signed
as follows:
1 hour parking anytime except 2 a.m. - 6 a.m unless a residential permit is displayed.
This proposal would allow local businesses to have patrons park for a limited time. It would not
allow people though, to park for more than 1 hour to go to a movie, restaurant, bar or the beach
in these areas and force them to pay for parking for longer periods of time by using the City
meters and parking lots. Again, this creates more revenue for the City.
Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
April 11, 1995
PETITION AND LEI 1'ER CONCERNING PROPOSAL TO CHANGE.
ON -STREET PARKING REGULATIONS IN THE PREFERENTIAL PARKING
AREA NORTH AND SOUTH OF PIER AVENUE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
Background:
At its meeting of March. 28, 1995, the City Council directed staff to develop a proposal to
simplify and consolidate the various parking regulations citywide. The proposal to change
the parking regulations in this area must go before the Coastal Commission.
Recommendation:
Direct staff to consider the suggestion that is contained in the petition and letter so that it
can be evaluated and included in the overall proposal.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen R. Burrell
City Manager

Re: Sunset Clauses
Dear Mayor and Members of�the
You have requested an opinion regarding the
advisability of including sunset clauses in all ordinances as a
means of periodically reevaluating the continuing need to keep.
ordinances in force.
Sunset clauses are commonly used in ordinances intended
to be temporary. These types of ordinances typically address
problems which are perceived to be of limited duration, and
hence, do not require a permanent solution. Alternatively,
sunset clauses are used in connection with experimental programs
intended at the outset to be in place for a finite period of
time. In these instances, sunset clauses are a useful tool.
Most ordinances, however, are intended to remain in
place for the indefinite future. Indeed, some ordinances (like
the Building Code) must be adopted and in place at all times.
Because a sunset clause causes an ordinance to expire
automatically, the inclusion of such a clause in all ordinance
creates the risk that they will inadvertently expire. The
constant need to review the continuing utility of these
ordinances as they come up for expiration could at times pose a
burden, and render such review less than meaningful. It also
creates uncertainty among people who will be taking actions in
reliance upon the ordinance and who may be concerned about their
legal status should it expire. Finally, treating all ordinances
as temporary could possibly hamper their enforcement to the
RICHARDS, WATSON & GERSHON
extent an expectation exists that the ordinance will soonexpire.
on its own accord.
Your concern about having ordinances on the books that
haveoutlived their usefulness is legitimate. One alternative
way to accomplish that would be to establish a schedule or cycle
for the periodic review of all chapters of the Municipal Code.
In this way, the Code would be reviewed for continuing relevance
without the pressure posed by automatic expiration. In that way,
sunset clauses could be reserved for truly temporary ordinances.
Please let me know if I can address these issues
further for you.

cc: Stephen R. Burrell
City Manager
Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Clean Ocean City program to publicly recognize,
businesses, residents and students that enact Clean Ocean City practices to protect or enhance the
environment, including our beaches and the Santa Monica Bay.
Background:
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) mandates that all cities adopt a series of
activities to reduce pollution resulting from non-stormwater runoff that enters the storm drain system, while
California Integrated Waste Management Board mandates that all municipalities significantly reduce waste
by recycling. To comply with both mandates, the City has initiated an on-going campaign to educate and
encourage residents, businesses and students to prevent storm drain pollution and to reduce waste products
by recycling.
As part of this campaign, our City, with the cities of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, and BFI and
Western Wastes shall host a "Clean and Green Expo - An Earth Day Event for Businesses" on April 18,
1995 at the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza in Redondo Beach (see attached, invitation). Businesses shall be
informed of and encouraged to comply with both of these mandates. Additionally, they shall be informed of
the penalties for failure to comply with Federal, State and City requirements to prevent storm drain
pollution. However, staff believes that the proposed program to reward compliance with a beneficial
business result is a muchmore effective way to gain business's commitment to this effort. If City Council
approves the Hermosa Beach Clean Ocean City program, staff proposes to introduce it to our business
community at the "Expo".
March 23, 1995
Regular Meeting of
April 11 ,1995
PUBLIC RECOGNITION OF "CLEAN OCEAN CITY",
BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS AND STUDENTS
Analysis:
Staff believes that this program will gain the active support of businesses. Currently, establishments that fail
to comply with the City's newly passed stormwater ordinance are subject to fines by the City. However,
under this program, a business in compliance with the stormwater ordinance also qualifies as a Clean Ocean
City establishment. As a result, the business not only averts a possible fine but gains an additional, powerful
marketing tool from the public recognition and "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" (in a manner of
speaking) provided by the City.
The City also gains. Instead of being cast as a possible adversary, it can play a strong and positive role in
the business community. For all of these reasons, staff sees it is as a "win-win" situation, promoting
goodwill between the City and its businesses and, at the same time, preventing non -point source pollution
and protecting storm water quality.
Staff also believes that this is a program that most citizens of Hermosa Beach will support. From parks and
open space issues to volunteering, they have shown their concern for the environment in general, and their
beaches and ocean, specifically. That is one reason why citizens and students are included in this program.
Finally, the city of Palo Alto reports excellent results and Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach have both
adopted similar programs recently.
Eligibility requirements are generally defined as follows:
Businesses: Those with the potential for storm drain pollution, based on their activities, would become
eligible upon implementation of Best Management Practices to prevent waste runoff. The Best
Management Practices will be good house keeping measures that protect the environment without putting
undue financial constraints on businesses. Some examples of these practices (BMPs) are:
• Employee training and education
• Proper maintenance and cleaning of equipment and tools
Proper disposal of hazardous materials and waste water
Re -use and recycle whenever possible
Dispose of all debris in covered trash receptacles
Residents: Those residents or citizens whose actions are identified as making a significant, positive
difference to the environment by such activities as a timely crisis intervention (major spill, etc.), the
amount of time or quality of volunteer work, etc.
Students: Students, individually or as a group, would be eligible for such activities as a special or
significant volunteer project, a science project, a poster competition, etc.
Recognition by the Mayor and Council is seen as central to this program. Staff proposes that the Mayor, on
a quarterly basis, if applicable, present the recipients for that quarter with a special certificate, suitable for
framing and displaying (attached) and, if a commercial enterprise, a Clean Ocean City decal for display in
their windows. Additional publicity would be given by notifying local newspapers in advance of these
awards, listing them with the Chamber of Commerce, etc.
Fiscal Impact:
The decals for businesses to place in their windows are estimated to cost $400.
Funding is proposed to come from the Sewer Fund.

PENDING STATE LEGISLATION: AB1191 ALLOCATION OF PROP 172 SALES TAX, SB323
PUBLIC RECORDS ACT, SB19 - UNFUNDED MANDATES: CIIMS WITH POPULATIONS LESS
THAN 25,000.
Purpose:
To obtain approval to communicate City Council position on subject pending legislation.
Background:
AB1191 -Allocation of Prop 172 sales tax: Cities received less Prop 172 sales tax than anticipated due
to guidelines adopted by the State Association of County Auditors. This bill would return to the originat
intent of Prop 172 and allocate the additional funds to cities. The amount is not that great on a statewide
basis, however, it does represent about 1.7% of the funds distributed.
Recommendation: That the City Council go on record as supporting AB1191.
SB323 - Public Records Act: The League of California Cities and other groups are in opposition to this
bill in its present form. The City Clerk also has concerns about this legislation. First, it refocuses the
current publicrecords act to making all government agencies, in effect, "libraries" simply because the
agency stores information. Second, the bill assumes that all public agencies have all of this information on
electronic systems. It would be quite costly to meet this requirement and this, of course, would be an
unfunded mandate. Third, the bill poses a number of new, challenging and costly prospects for public
agencies attempting to try and conform with the privacy requirements of state law. Access to data that
contains information subject to privacy requirements must first be "edited" to remove all exempt
information from otherwise disclosable records. This "editing" process could take hours or days depending
on the amount of information that must be removed and all at a cost to the public agency and more
importantly the public. It is clear that to comply with the requirements, of this legislation would cost a
great deal in tax dollars.
Recommendation: That the City Council go on record as opposing SB323.
SB19 - Unfunded Mandates: This bill would exempt cities from having to comply with State mandates
that are not funded by the State. It would not apply to new crimes or items requested by local governments
or the federal government.
Recommendation: That the City Council go on record as supporting SB19.

'I'tat The Honorable City Council
FROM. Diane R. Gladwell, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Public Records Act
The meeting in Sacramento proved to be extremely valuable. Representatives of the
newspaper industry ancenator Kopp began by stating they were unwilling to amend any
portion of the bill, since SB323 had already been significantly altered from theversion
presented in the last legislative session. They concluded the meeting by expressing their
desire to propose amendments to several key areas, including:
*Protection of police records. The proposed bill would eliminate several provisions'
for privacy protection of individuals, most noticeably in Police. Administration.
SB323 would allow access to information transmitted to other agencies. This
includes rap sheets, arrest information and other areas that would compromise police
personnel, investigations, and citizens' privacy.
eDefutition of public agency (n now requires many private institutions to comply).
+Consideration of a mediation/dispute resolution process and incentives to address
the records management problems of municipal governments.
*Deferral of implementation dates provided by SB323.
The bill fundamentally changes the definition and purpose of the Public Records Act The
current law provides that "writings" be accessible to the public to allow them to understand
the conduct of the public's business; 0323 proposes that "data" be accessible to the public
to allow them to utilize the information. There are wide applications for government data,
from generating very inexpensive and accurate mailing Iists, to the ability to compare and
analyze diverse data in a very inexpensive, expedient manner.
There are many problems with SB323 as proposed:
*Lack of privacy protection for citizens.
*Expensive data processing costs, including unfunded, mandated "redaction" of data,
This would require the City to program computers to sift through data bases and
erase the fields of data that are not public (e.g. home telephone numbers) before the
information is provided to the requestor.
',Exposure to litigation. Immediate access to information is required; all staff
members must be thoroughly versed in the public records exemptions (there are 18
pages of exemptions in the new law). Unless the employee has a reason to believe
the record might be exempt, SB323 requires immediate access to the record. It also
prevents attorneys from raising arguments in Court to defend lawsuits if the City
failed to cite the argument in response to a records request. Privacy lawsuits against
municipal governments would increase as a result of SE323.
•No provision for security of municipal data and/or computer systems
The League is participating in the negotiations and has taken a position opposing SB323.
The CCAC Is providing a telephone -tree stmcture, and school districts are also participating.
The coordinator for the City Attorney/City Clerk subcommittee is Ariel Calonne of Palo
Alto, who was very active in the effort to negotiate the Brown Act revisions.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hear the bill on March 28th; Council's Legislative
Action Subcommittee will review the attached letter from the Mayor before it is sent to
Senator Jack O'Connell.

Regular Meeting of

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR AUDIT SERVICES
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council award a three year audit contract, (covering fiscal
years 1994-95 through 1996-97, with an option to extend the agreement for two additional
fiscal years) to the firm of Caporicci & Carson.
Background:
The City contracted with Coopers and Lybrand for audit services from 1990 through 1992, with
extensions through 1994. A request for proposals for audit services for fiscal years 1995-97,
was mailed to 23 certified public accountant firms; eleven proposals were received by the City
Clerk on February 22, 1995.
Analysis:
The City Treasurer and the Finance Director reviewed and rated the firms based on the quality
of the written response and thecontract cost. A summary of hours and contract cost for the
proposals is attached. Based on the ratings, three firms were selected for interviews by the
Treasurer and Finance Director. Moss Levy & Hartzheim, Caporicci & Larson and Moreland &
Associates.
Below is a comparison of proposed audit fees and hours for the three firms:
Year Moss Levy & Caponcci & Larson Moreland &
Hartzheim Associates
94-95
95-96
96-97
Fee Est. Hrs.
$20,530 450
18,150 450
20,550 450
$59,230
Among these three firms, cost is not an issue since there is only a $1,000 spread between the
firms for the three year cost. Each firm's costs would represent a substantial savings from last
year's cost of $27,835.
All firms are qualified to perform the audit and capable of producing quality financial
statements.
Based on interview results and reference checks, the City Treasurer and Finance Director
recommend that the firm of Caporicci & Larson be selected. Their approach is somewhat
different from the other firms in that, for the first year, both partners, Caporicci and Larson,
would participate on site in the actual audit work in order to familiarize themselves with our
operation. Staff believes this higher level of expertise on site will lead to more valuable
recommendations and suggestions from the firm.

of low/moderate income dwelling units that are demolished
or converted to other use. When CDBG funds are used in
a project, including financing for rehabilitation, or
project delivery costs, Section 104(d). is triggered.
CDBG Regulations further describe the requirements under
24 CFR Section 570.606 Displacement, Relocation,
Acquisition, and Replacement of Housing.
Operating Agency must adopt and make public a Residential
Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan as part
of its administrative requirements to HUD. Before
Operating Agency enters into a contract committing it to
provide funds for any activity that will directly result
in the demolition, orconversion to another use, of
low/moderate-income dwelling units, it must make public
and submit to HUD the information as described in Section
24 CFR 570.606 (c) (iii) A -G.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board of Supervisors of the Los Angeles has
caused this Contract to be subscribed by its Chairman and the seal of
said Board to be hereto affixed, and attested by the Executive Officer -
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors thereof, and the Operating Agency has
subscribed the same through its authorized officer, the day, month and
year first above written.

SUBJECT SPECIAL STUDY 94-11
PURPOSE: TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 29.5-8 OF THE
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, CRITERIA FOR THE APPROVAL OF
SUBDIVISIONS
Vh//9-s
April 4,.-1995
Regular Meeting of
April 11, 1995
Planning Commission Recommendation
To receive and file as there is no need for a text amendment.
Alternatives
1. To introduce the attached ordinance which establishes that the area for
determining prevailing lot size be within a 300' radius, in the same zone and
general plan designation, and within the same "neighborhood area"; and, which
defines "neighborhood area."
2. To include consideration of prevailing "lot width" and/or "lot frontage" in
addition to lot size.
Background
At the meeting of February 28, 1995, the City Council considered the recommendation
of the Planning Commission to receive and file, and instead directed staff to return
with more precise criteria for approving subdivisions, including a definition of
neighborhood. The study originated from a request by a property owner for a more
precise definition of"prevailing lot size" and "surrounding area."
For further background, please refer to the previous reports and minutes.
Analysis
Staff has prepared the attached amendment to modify Section 29.5-8 subsections (c) and
(d) and to add a definition of "neighborhood area" as an alternative option.
For sub -section (c) staff proposes replacing "surrounding lot pattern" with "prevailing lot
pattern", and further, : replacing "surrounding area'' with "neighborhood area". A
definition for neighborhood area is added as described below.
For sub -section (d) the proposal maintains the term "not smaller than the prevailing lot
size" since its clear that "prevailing" means most frequent or most common. But rather
than using the phrase "in the area in which they are located" it sets forth that the area of
comparison be "within the same zone and general plan designation within a 300' radius,
provided, however, that all such lots used in the comparison shall be in the same
neighborhood area".
A definition for "neighborhood area" is added for clarity, and to assure that lots used in the
comparison are not located outside the same neighborhood, such as lots across arterial or
collector streets, greenbelts, city boundaries, or on top of an adjacent hillside.
This alternative satisfies the desire of Council for more precision, while still recognizing
the reality that all lots within the 300' radius should not be used in some cases. Staff has
attached three examples of application of this provision, including the result at 588 20th
Street.
Also, to further assure that subdivided lots are similar to lots in the neighborhood in all
respects, the prevailing "lot frontage" or "lot width" could be considered in addition to "lot
size": (Note: "lot frontage" is the width at the street, while "lot width" is the width half-
way between the front and back of the lot.)
For further analysis and discussion please refer to the previous reports and minutes.

:=the-afe t -i --Nvl e -h -they -;arc located. within the same zone and general plan
designation within a 300' radius, provided, however, that all such lots used in
the comparison shall be in the same neighborhood area"
SECTION 2. Amend Section 29.5-8 by adding the following paragraph after sub -section (g)
"For purposes of the section "neighborhood area" is defined as the block or
group of blocks, within the same zone and general plan designated area, being

PLANN1=O CLPT.
Subject: Text amendments to section 29.5-8 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
At your January 17, 1995 Planning Commmission.meeting the Commission agreed on
how to respond to the City Council's request that you "consider amendments to
section 29:5-8 of the Subdivision Ordinance, criteria for the approval of
subdivis ions " .
The Commission's basic rests}nse to the City Council "action item" vas that: the
existing language is clear and well constructed in that it provides flexibility
by listing factors for considering neighborhood consistency that the
Commission is comfortable with the phrase."prevailing lot size"; and that the
term "area" is a necessarily' broad and generic term which recognizes that
neighbor.hoods or districts can differ dramatically, and that lot sizes and
shapes can vary considerably, requiring judgement on a case by case basis.`
Last night at the. City Council meeting Betty Ryan was successful in getting the
Council to agree to ask the Planning Commission/Planning Department for
suggested language changes within the Ordinance which would more precisely_
define the term "area" ie, geographic area.
This is a reasonable request, but we feel it will be difficult to improve upon
the existing wording because of the topographical and neighborhood differences
within Hermosa Beach. In the case of Mrs. Ryan's property on 20th Street,
which she would like to subdivide into three 40 foot lots vs the two 60 foot
lots for which she now has City approval, I don't see how any reasonable text
change regarding. "area" couldenable her to persuade the City to agree to her
proposed three lot subdivision. By the Planning Department's own data, over
75%.of the lots in her "urea", no matter how reasonably you define "area", have
frontages that are 50 feet or greater.
The -1si1r of frontace width was (and still is) . the basis of Mrs. Ryan s
neighbors' resistance to her proposal in.1990 to subdivide into three 40 foot
lots, and was:also the basis of the City's decision to:agree to a two lot 60
foot subdivision: Her neighbors had. (and still have) no objection to a two lot
split; a three lot split was (and still is) adamantly opposed. Our sole
interest in opposing her.proposed three lot subdivision was, and still is; .to`
preserve the unique character and integrity of our Valley area "neighborhood
So much for background The puipose of my writing you is to request that,
during your deliberations 'On the subject, you consider including in -any text
change proposals you comp up with a more definitive rreaning.of,the term
"prevailing lot size"
As presently written the only definitive quantitative requirements in the
Ordinance are that lots may not be smaller than 40 feet in width and cannot be
less than 4,000 square feet in area. Mrs. Ryan seem to feel that as long as
she meets these minimum criteria, she should be able to do a three lot
subdivision of her 20th Street property, regardless of how the resulting lots
would compare with the "prevailing lot size" within the rest of the
neighborhood; ie "area".
To eliminate this ambiguity, we would like to propose that the term prevailing
lot size" be clarified to explain that "lot size" refers to both lot area and.
lot frontage width (and, perhaps, lot depth); The present wording (to us
laymen) could be interpreted to mean only the square footage (area) of the
lots. While it appears that the City has consistently taken. frontage width
into account along with lot square footage on past subdivision proposals, we
believe that this clarification of the meaning of "prevailing lot size" would
help to eliminate some of the questions about the intent of the Ordinance.
In summary, we believe that the foregoing proposed clarification of the meaning
of "prevailing lot size" to specifically include frontage width; in addition to
lot square footage, would help to clarify the Ordinance's "somewhat vague and
unclear" language.
Please feel free to call me at any time at 376-3871 if you would like to
discuss this with me.
ctfully,
M. Miller

Re: Public Hearing,
Section 29.5-8 of the subdivision ordinance
Gentlemen:
I'm writing concerning the public meeting relating to subdivision ordinance and the
definition of "Neighborhood Area":
RECEIVED
APR 4 1995
PLANNING DEPT. *'7
1 reside with my family in the "Valley area" of Hermosa Beach and have a interest in
any changes in the subdivision ordinance that would present a negative impact on my
neighborhood.
The "Valley area" is a low density area with prevailing lot sizes at approximately
6,000+ square feet. Most people who live in the "Valley area" moved there because of
the unique character and ambience of the neighborhood. This is in sharp contrast to
the high density situation which exists in most other areas of Hermosa Beach.
Concerning the definition of "Neighborhood Area"; American Heritage dictionary
defines it as "a district or an area with distinctive characteristics". With this definition
any potential Subdivision in. the "Valley area", should be judged on the prevailing
conditions in the "Valley area" and not from high density boundary areas.
Upholding past decisions by previous City Council's and Planning Commission's will
preserve this unique area called the "Valley area".
Very truly yourss.

VISION HERMOSA: REQUEST TO CONDUCT A FREE BEACH CONCERT
AND FUND-RAISER IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 4 -WOMAN PRO
VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT
Recommendation
It is recommended by staff that Council:
Approve the concept of an evening concert to be held south of the Hermosa Beach
Pier from 6 p.m. -10 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, 1995 (sponsored by FM 101.9).
2. Approve the concept of a fund-raiser (micro -brewery beer tasting) to be held in a tent
on Parking Lot B with date and hours to be determined.
Direct staffto coordinate event logistics and security issues between C.E. Sports and
Vision Hermosa.
4. Direct staffto return to Council with police review and event contract.
Background
At the March 14, 1995 meeting, City Council approved a slate of special events to be held
on the beach. At that time, Council Members expressed an interest in expanding the use
of special event stadiums to provide additional hours of activity with the objective of
providing downtown merchants with additional benefits from these commercial events.
C.E. Sports and Entertainment will be presenting the 4th annual 4 -Woman Professional
Volleyball Tournament on May 13-14, 1995. This off-season event draws approximately
3-5,000 spectators with the majority of the fans arriving on the Sunday of each
tournament.
Vision Hermosa is a non-profit organization whose mission it is to raise funds for the
revitalization of downtown Hermosa Beach. They presented staff with a request to
proceed with planning a sunset concert and fund-raiser featuring a "tented" area for a
micro -brewery beer tasting event.
Analysis
Because of the short duration of this particular event, there are logistical details that
would make staging a concert in the stadium a difficult endeavor. As such, staff
recommends that the concert be staged south of the Pier allowing Vision Hermosa to
assemble and stage the event in a timely fashion. It will also permit the concert to begin
immediately after the tournament; encouraging volleyball spectators to stay for the
evening's event:
While there are clearly a number of logistical issues to review and approve, Vision
Hermosa and staff did not wish to proceed with event planning absent a conceptual.
approval from the Council. Attachment A frames the operational and security issues that
need to be completed in order for the event to be presented for final Council review.
It is important to note that the newly adopted ordinance regarding the consumption of
alcoholic beverages on public property, requires Council approval of this type of request
(Attachment B): The policy guidelines (Attachment C) adopted by Council on October 25,
1994 name lower Pier Avenue as the approved location for these events. Since the
presence of the tournament would make the use of lower Pier Avenue an impossibility,
Council may wish to consider the approval of the Lot B location for this particular event.
As a "first attempt" at expanding the impacts of these commercial events, the 4 -Woman
Professional Tournament is a good starting point. As indicated above, the spectator draw
for this tournament is modest and the event takes place in the "off-season." If it is
successful, there may be opportunities to plan activities for some of the remaining
commercial events for the 1995 season.
If the concept is approved by Council, a detailed plan and contract will be drafted for
review at the April 25, 1995 meeting.
As a Hermosa Beach based non-profit organization, all event fees are waived. All
direct costs (such as Police, administrative fees, clean-up, insurance and security will
be the responsibility of Vision Hermosa.
Estimated fees:
Police fees $3,000
Admin fee $300
Parking Lot TBD
Amplification Permit $38
Insurance requirement: $2 million

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
April 11, 1995
PROPOSED TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF
AVIATION BOULEVARD AND OCEAN AVENUES
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the implementation of a
proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and
Ocean Avenue with thestipulation that the signal be wholly funded by
private resources.
In July 1993 a report was prepared for Ralph's grocery by WPA Traffic
Engineering Inc. which reviewed the potential for signalization of an
intersection along Aviation Boulevard east of the Park Pacific Shopping
Center. The intent of said, signal as stated in the July 23, 1993 report was
to "provide gaps in traffic and aid drivers entering and exiting the site".
The traffic engineering consultant agreed that signalizing either
Aviation/Owosso or Aviation/Ocean would provide the gaps in westbound
traffic that would ease the left turn movements into the center.
The City Traffic Engineer was in agreement with either of the sites, but
corresponded to the traffic engineering consultant that an entire study of
the Aviation corridor would be beneficial. This study would look at access
control, a raised median with landscaping along the corridor (a suggestion
by several members of the Planning Commission) and advantages and
disadvantages for either location selected for signalization.
Various correspondence followed between the City staff and the
consultant. The essence was that the expanded study should in part be
funded by the City. The City believed the consultant should wholly fund
the expanded study.
The traffic consultant produced another alternative report for signalization
on November 16, 1994. This alternative was rejected. However, it
prompted meetings between the City Manager, Public Works staff, and
representatives from the traffic engineering consultant, Ralph's and Park
Pacific Shopping Center. This is the January 4, 1995 meeting that Mr.
Roger Bacon discusses in his letter dated March 22, 1995 to the City
Manager.
At this meeting it was agreed the progression warrant for traffic
installation was met at the intersection of Aviation/Ocean.
The Public Works. Director and City Traffic Engineer agree that the most
logical location for an Aviation Boulevard traffic signal is at Ocean
Avenue.
Reasons for this location are as follows:
- Gaps would be created for the westbound left turn into the Park
Pacific Shopping Center.
There may be some gap advantage for left turners emerging from
Aubrey Court. (This location is listed on the City's high accident location
list). The problem is the difficulty of left turns emerging into Aviation.
The solution is to prohibit the Ieft turns out of Aubrey and/or eliminate the
curb parking along Aviation.
- The uncontrolled pedestrian crossing that now exists with a flashing
yellow beacon would be signal controlled, thus providing a better walking
environment: There have not been any pedestrian accidents at this
location, since the flashing beacon was installed. However, there have
been complaints from the public that drivers are not yielding to the
crossing pedestrians.
Travel speeds along Aviation may be
progression.
Discussion:
controlled better with a signal
The above mentioned advantages are a benefit to all parties. It is the
traffic engineers opinion that while there is merit to this installation, there
are other locations within the City that are of a higher priority when vying
for City funding.
The most notable is the need for separate left turn phasing at the
Aviation/Prospect intersection.
Next is the need to replace the control equipment along Hermosa Avenue
at Fourteenth Street. 'It is antiquated and a maintenance nuisance.
For unsignalized intersections there is Pier/Valley/Ardmore. These two
locations are warranted on a traffic volume basis as well as accident
basis.
Likewise, the Gould/Valley/Ardmore intersections are also warranted for
signalization on a traffic volume basis. The traffic volume warrants are
"stronger" than the progression warrant from the engineering importance
level for implementation.
Thus, it is our belief that while there is merit for the Aviation/Ocean signal
there are higher priority locations in the City that should be considered
funded by City funds prior to this, project.

Dear Mr. Burrell;
This letter will officially notify you that I
would like to be heard on the April 11, 1.995 City
Council meeting`to ask the approval -of partial
funding of a four-way signal to be,placed at the
intersection of Pacific Coast Hwy. and Ocean Ave.
in Hermosa Beach -.(Funding through gastax revenue.)
Traffic pn Aviation Blvd.' from Pacific Coast Hwy..
to Prospect is a very dangerous corridor to
pedestrian and auto traffic. This can be -verified
by questioning ,merchants and pedestrians on said
corridor.

signal met progression warrant. This was also supported
by Amy Amirani:s letter to me dated Januaryl7, 1995,

Sincerely,
Honorable Mayor and Members of

Regular. Meeting of
April 11, 1995
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT
OCEAN AVENUE ON AVIATION BOULEVARD AS
REQUESTED BY ROGER BACON
Purpose:
To provide some additional information concerning funding for this signal.
Background:
Public Works has listed other areas that might be considered higher priorities for traffic
signal installation. It is important to point out that none of these projects are currently
funded. As you know, the staffis working on the 1995-96 budget and it will be
completed next month. Considering the several priorities that compete for gas tax funds, it
is not possible to tell, at this time, whether the funding of any traffic signal installations or
upgrades will be included in the budget.
Mr. Bacon, in a telephone conversation with me, estimated the total cost of the signal
installation to be between $110,000 and $130,000.. He is requesting that the City Council
consider a $30,000 contribution. It is entirely appropriate for the City Council to allow
the private property owners to pay for the signal installation. This is a fairly common
practice, and other nearby property owners could also contribute.
Recommendation:
That the City Council approve the installation of the signal as recommended by the
Traffic Engineer provided its cost is covered by property owners.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen R. Burrell

WALK STREET WALL, LANDSCAPE & FENCE HEIGHT,
DESIGN STANDARDS AND PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
TO DETERMINE IF ENCROACHMENT PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTIONS 29-31
THROUGH 29-3.8 OF THE MUNICIPAL. CODE SHOULD BE
ENFORCED OR AMENDED
RECOMMENDATIONS:
To direct staff as deemed appropriate relative to fence/wall' height and design standards
and permit requirements along walks streets.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently maintains permit requirements for walls and fencing along the public
right -or -way and private property. The Public Works Department issues encroachment
permits on public property and the Community Development Department issues building
permits to construct a fences and walls on private property. Certain fees and design
standards apply to both encroachment permits and building permits.
The City's walk streets are considered unique areas with special design considerations.
However, a survey of fence heights along all walk streets was recently conducted and of
304 fences identified, 47 were out of compliance. The walk street areas that were most
out of compliance were 30th and 31st Streets. Approximately 1/2 of the fences along 30th
and 31st Streets are out of compliance with the City's encroachment design standards.
Many of these fences were constructed without permits. The City has received complaints
about fencing which is out of compliance and it is necessary to evaluate whether the
current design standards should be maintained, given the lack of conformance or whether
the design standards should be eliminated or amended.
Fence/Wall Height
Fence/wall height is permitted to a maximum of 36" on public and private property. Fence
height exceptions vary under the encroachment permit and building permit process.
Encroachment permit exceptions are granted by the City Council, however, exceptions to
fence height through building permits are granted through a Variance by the Planning
Commission. Fence height is measured from the sidewalk level for encroachment permits
and from the finished grade or finished surface for building permits. A 42" high guard rail
is permitted around a 12" height deck and a retaining wall. The maximum retaining wall
height is 36". If a wall is protecting a cut, it may exceed 36".
Design Requirements
Under the Zoning Ordinance and Municipal Code, fencing is required to be 40% open. For
property where there are retaining walls, fencing height is guided by the Zoning Ordinance
and the Building Code and such fencing is still required to be 40% open. Retaining walls
cannot be plain gray block under the Zoning Ordinance, however, the Municipal Code
does not stipulate a material for encroachments. Landscaping is required for a minimum
of 1/3 of the encroachment area when enclosed by extensions of the two side property
lines and an encroachment permit for such landscaping is required through the Public
Works Department. The landscape plan must be approved by the Public Works and
Community Development Department. In addition, there are special corner cut design
provisions under encroachment permits.
Permitting
Constructing a fence on public property requires an encroachment permit through the
Public Works Department as fencing is only permitted to be 3' in height and building
( permits are only required for fencing in .excess of 6'. Retaining walls require a building
permit on private property, but only require an encroachment permit on public property.
Given the variation in conditions along walks streets and the number of fences out of
conformance with current design standards, the Council may want to consider amending
the Municipal Code and/or ensure consistency with the Zoning Ordinance on wall/fence
design issues.

Dear Mr. Blumenfeld:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter that I sent Ida Bird at 248 31st St. expressing my
personal wishes for dealing with her front yard encroachment on 31st St. The
letter illustrates a few points about why 1 feel the way I do about front yard
encroachments. Furthermore, I have enclosed the text of a resident
survey/poll/petition which is presently circulating on the street. Most people,
except a few with high fences, are in approval of these guidelines.
I have spoken to Ms. Bird and she does seem intent on showing that .Hermosa
Beach has been inconsistent in its enforcement over the years. For this reason, I
feel that the city and the city council need to reiterate the importance of
enforcement. I personally do not like the presumption used by Ms. Bird that since
some people have not been caught in building high fences, that others must now
be allowed to do the same; this argument is like getting caught speeding and
then contending that others were speeding too.
Here is the text of the poll:
RESIDENT OPINION SURVEY & ADVISORY
We, the undersigned residents of the walk street portion of
31st Street, wish to advise the city and the city council that it is
our wish for our street to keep the height of fences and other
permanent construction on front yard encroachments as
close as possible to the three foot limit currently in effect.
It is our intent to maintain an open visual appearance; we -
wish to urge a reasonable approach rather than exactly
measuring every fence or structure. We understand that
some tall items, such as light posts, decking, sculptures and
trellises, give architectural interest to the street and that these
items are desirable even if not technically low in stature; we
desire that these items be non -massive in appearance.
520 NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE SUITE 302 REDONDO BEACH, CA 90277
310-798-1515 FAX: 310-798-3131
We also understand that some fences should be allowed to
be taller as long as they maintain an open visual
appearance. We desire that the city role be to encourage
residents to work with other residents on the street to
compromise, if the exact rules and regulations are not met (as
in the situation of a variance). If compromises cannot be
made, then we desire that the city enforce the current code.
It is not our intent to force removal of older fences, but rather
to urge the enforcement of compliance over time as older
fences need to be rebuilt. We desire to enforce these goals
with regard to new fences currently being constructed on the
street (for example, 242 and 248 31st).
So that the issue of ignorance of the law does not come up,
we further request that the city require disclosure of these
requirements to: 1) new residents of the street by realtors and
sellers, and 2) current residents & owners of rental properties
by way of a mailing or official flyer which can be distributed
by residents of the block.
Please -incorporate this letter and .the letter sent to Ms. Bird in your packet of
information that you present to the city council. Please make it as clear as
possible that some people on the street are extremely upset that others on the
street are flaunting the city code and the two-phase encroachment permit and
building permit processes.
Sin, rely,

248 31st St.
Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254
Dear Fellow 31st Resident:
Your fence could have been so much more sensitively designed and still have given you the privacy you desire.
For example, you could have used a trellis, foliage, small gaps, with boards alternating on one side of the fence
and then the other, angled boards to break lines of sight, horizontal instead of vertical boards, recessing it a foot
with flowers in front, or ship's railings with removable canvas panels for privacy. Instead, your fence actually
looks taller than it really is because of the long vertical boards all the way up from the sidewalk.
I object not so much to the actual height as to the appearance of height. I suggest you go outside the fence and,
as objectively as possible, check out how tall your fence looks. The suggestions above are ideas for modifying
the situation. I am hoping that this appeal will help to change your mind, and that you will voluntarily make the
necessary corrections.
As is taught in Architecture 101, there is an aesthetic problem to a predominately vertical appearing fence on a
narrow lot. Tall fences also create concerns about law enforcement and maintaining property values. Tall
fences are inappropriate for a walk street because they make a front yard into a backyard.
Your desire for privacy is the same as that of many people on the street. If I leave my front door open, you can
look right into the master bathroom. I understand completely why you want to create a little courtyard.
However, I am equally upset that you want to close out the spirit of openness that exists on a walk street by
making your yard look so cloistered. In the process, you are lowering your own property value as well as mine;
as with many things in life, this issue is partly about money. We have paid a premium for quaintness, and for
the privilege of living on a walk street...not to live on a wind tunnel. I bought here expecting that with time,
fences would.be lowered. Aileen told me that she told you. much of this and that you just didn't seem to care.
So, you have continued to build despite being made aware of the feelings of others. When you act this way you
do not bring out the best in your neighbors. Beyond the issue of mutual respect, maybe you don't realize that
the front yard belongs to the city, so we don't really have the luxury of doing with them as we please. Many
other older fences are also too tall, but as they are replaced they will also need to be lowered. Your fence is.
precedent -setting because it is new construction.
Good citizens and good neighbors respect each other. As your neighbor, I wish everyone on the block could be
satisfied and living well together; I think that a compromise can be reached. I would hope you understand that
sometimes you must subdue your personal preferences in favor of the greater good..and the spirit, if not the
letter, of the city code. Please call me if you wish to discuss this further: 798-3131, then push 3 to transfer to my
house.
Sincerely,

Honorable Mayor and Members Regular Meeting of
of the Hermosa Beach City Council April 11, 1995
SUBJECT: PLANNING & PROPERTY DISPOSITION IN CONNECTION WITH
PROPOSED PARKING STRUCTURE
PURPOSE: TO CONSIDER PROPOSALS TO RECONFIGURE DOWNTOWN PARKING
LOTS "B" AND "C" THROUGH A LAND EXCHANGE AND INITIATE A
PRELIMINARY STUDY AND ESTABLISH A REVIEW PROCESS FOR
CERTAIN PARCELS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DOWNTOWN AREA
PLAN & PARKING STRUCTURE
Recommendation:
That the City Council:
1. Direct staff to commence with special study of the Downtown area bounded by. 14th street to
the west, Hermosa Avenue to the east, the Strand to the west and 13th Court to the south.
2. Direct staff to obtain property appraisals for City owned property in connection with the
potential sale and/or exchange of land in order to better reconfigure parking on lots "B" &
"C" and locate additional retail uses along Hermosa Avenue:
3. Establish a Preliminary Project Review process to more expeditiously review projects prior to
proceeding with entitlements for Downtown projects.
Background:
The purpose of the area study is to ensure that public and private projects are well planned and
conform to the City's plans for Downtown circulation. Several adjacent projects are currently in
the planning stages which require comprehensive planning. The projects are bounded by the area
shown on the attached map and relate to the proposed development of a parking structure on
Lots "B" and "C". Staff is currently proceeding with preliminary negotiations with the County of
Los Angeles relative to construction of a Downtown parking structure and has also had
preliminary discussions with a private design/build parking structure company about the
development of the structure. A developer has indicated renewed interest in a Downtown hotel
project and the property owner of the Bijou Theater and Beach Market are contemplating
redevelopment of their properties. (Please see Attachment 1).
Analysis:
In order to proceed with the proposed projects it is necessary to commence with preliminary
planning for the area, incorporating project plans with area parking and circulation issues. It is
also necessary to determine whether there are any other environmental issues which should be
addressed relative to area development including preparation of a Master EIR. The proposed
plan would be the first of three studies which could be quickly completed for the Downtown to
ensure that public and private projects work well together.
The parking structure project will require that the City initiate property appraisals in order to
proceed. In addition, one property owner adjacent to Lots "B" and "C" is interested in carrying
out a land exchange which might mutually benefit the owner and the City. The Bijou Theater
building located at 1227-35 Hermosa Avenue must commence with plans for seismic retro -fit
work in April. The owner has indicated that his theater tenant cannot maintain the theater
operation and there is no other theater operator that will locate in the property as it is too small to
accommodate a multiplex cinema.
The owner is compelled to commence with seismic retro -fit work and is seeking to maintain and
renovate the easterly portion of his building for a restaurant, retail and office use, and demolish
the westerly 90 feet of the building which has significant seismic structural problems. The owner
would like to explore the possibility of trading the westerly portion of his property to the City
(which can be reconfigured with Lot "B" ) in exchange for the City trading an equivalently valued
portion of Lot "C" to the owner for retail use. Such retail use along Hermosa Avenue is
commensurate with the IBI Downtown Improvement Plan which calls for commercial frontage as
part of the development of parking structures. (Please see Attachment 2).
The land exchange should be based upon property appraisals for the City owned property along
• Hermosa Avenue and the theater parcel. The proposed retail development along Hermosa
Avenue can provide important aesthetic and financial benefits irrespective of the timing for
construction of the parking structure, although the parking structure design and programmatic
issues should be considered now as part of the proposed exchange transaction.
With City Council approval, Staff will complete preliminary negotiations regarding the
redevelopment of these parcels and conduct preliminary planning studies for the area to examine
parking, circulation and other planning issues relative to area redevelopment. In order to
streamline the review process, the proposed projects would be evaluated relative to the area plan
and staff would provide a recommendation to City Council prior to proceeding with project
entitlements.
