PLANNING DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City
Council
FROM: Planning Commission
SUBJECT: Study of Commercial Uses that Require Condi-
tional Use Permits
DATE: February 15, 1994
RECOMMENDATION
To expand the scope of the study to be a comprehensive review of
the entire commercial permitted use lists, definitions, and which
uses require C.U.P's.
In considering your direction, as stated in the Resolution of
Intent of 8/10/93, to study the zoning code for possible changes
to uses that require C.U.P.'s, the Planning Commission has dis-
covered other issues and concerns that should also be included in
the study. We believe that the entire permitted use list needs
to be reviewed for possible updates and clarification.
Some of the commercial uses currently listed are clearly out of
date and are identified with arcane and odd language. Further,
with better identification and definition of uses, the need for
conditional use permits could possibly be reduced.
This proposed level of analysis and study far exceeds what you
originally requested, and obviously will require a lot of time
and effort on the part of staff and ourselves. To make this ef-
fort worthwhile, we are requesting your official support of this
project, and would welcome any suggestions or further direction.
The Planning Commission believes this matter should be a high
priority issue.
STAFF NOTE
If this matter is declared a high priority staff will prepare the
study within the next sixty days.

RESOLUTION NO. 93-5634
A RESOLUTION OF INTENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO STUDY THE PERMITTED USE LIST IN REGARDS TC
THOSE USES WHICH REQUIRE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR POSSIBLE
TEXT AMENDMENTS
WHEREAS, the City Council held a hearing on August 10, 1993,
to discuss the current list of uses that require conditional use
permits, and to discuss possible amendments to said list and made
the following findings:
A. The requirement for conditional use permits is an appropriate
and necessary method for controlling and mitigating potential
undesirable or adverse impacts associated with certain uses
and activities;
. In some cases, however, the requirement to obtain conditional
use permit has become unnecessary as the use does not cause
any significant impacts;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the
City of Hermosa Beach, California, hereby directs the Planning
Commission to begin the process to study the permitted use list
for possible amendments in regards to which uses are required to
obtain conditional use permits;
PASSED, APPROVED,
ADOPTED this 10th day of August , 1993.

City Council and MAYOR of the City of
