IZI RECESS: REFRESHMENTS �' •S' IJ RECONVENE: CONTINUE WITH THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA October 30, 1997 City Council Meeting November 13, 1997 Mayor and Members of the City Council APPOINTMENT OF MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEMPORE AND COUNCIL COMMITTEE REORGANIZATION - NOVEMBER 1997 Consistent with the City Council policy of an approximate nine and one -half -month rotation of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore, the following appointments should be made: 1. Mayor for a term ending Thursday, September 10, 1998*. 2. Mayor Pro Tempore for a term ending Thursday, September 10, 1998*. (*The regularly scheduled meeting of Tuesday, September 8, 1998, falls the day after Labor Day. Pursuant to the 1997 meeting schedule adopted at the last meeting by Council, the first meeting in September will take place on Thursday, September 10, 1998.) Recommendations after thb appointments of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore, consistent with the policy of maintaining permanent representatives whenever possible, are: 1. To appoint the Mayor to the Los Angeles County - City Selection Committee. (Authority in Government Code Section 50270. The committee shall consist of the mayor of each city within the county. Other councilmembers may be designated delegates for meetings the mayor is unable to attend, but that requires Council action for each meeting that a delegate other than the mayor is designated.) 2. To appoint the Mayor to the South Bay Cities Sanitation District Board of Directors, and Mayor Pro Tempore as alternate director. (Authority in Health and Safety Code Section 4730. The presiding officer of the governing body is automatically on the Board of Directors, and an alternate director is appointed to act as a member of the district board in place of the presiding officer ... during such person's absence, inability, or refusal to act. Therefore, the alternate may attend meetings in the Mayor's place without requiring Council action each time.) 3. To appoint the Mayor as delegate to the Inglewood Fire Training Authority, and Mayor Pro Tempore as alternate. (This meeting immediately follows the Sanitation District meeting.) 1 The remainder of the assignments may be made either this evening or at the next City Council meeting of November 25, 1997. Enclosed for your information is the list of current committee assignments as of January 28, 1997, which has been updated to include any subsequently formed temporary subcommittees or other changes. Please note that the appointed delegate and alternate should be the same for both the South Bay Corridor Study Steering Committee and the South Bay Cities Association since their meetings occur back-to-back on the same day and at the same location. Also, two of the committees require resolutions for the appointments of delegates and alternates. Councilmember Edgerton is the current delegate and Finance Director Viki Copeland the current alternate for the Independent Cities Lease Finance Authority. Councilmember Edgerton is also the current delegate for the Independent Cities Risk Management Association; and a resolution adopted at the October 28, 1997 Council meeting appointed our new Personnel Director/ Risk Manager Michael Earl as the designated alternate, created a substitute alternate representative to serve in the absence of the delegate and alternate, and appointed Finance Director Viki Copeland to that position. If assignment changes are made this evening with regard to either of those committees, an appropriate resolution will be placed on the consent calendar of the November 25 agenda for Council adoption. Following the assignments of delegates and alternates, letters will be sent to the appropriate boards and committees, and the list of newly appointed delegates and alternates will be forwarded to Council.

OFFICE City Council and City Manager/- Please agendize City Of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, California 90254 Councilmembers and City Manager: Your attorney's letter of October 30 is an over -reaction to the routine crime information request I made on the 20th. I wasn't, after all, asking for a councilmember's crime records, or records about the recent costly scandals at the police department. I was asking about fights and arrests downtown, none of which, presumably, involve any of you personally. I wasn't even asking for the identities of the persons involved - my request said identities could be redacted. And fulfilling my request wouldn't involve a lot of work; as recently as February 3 of this year you easily handled a slightly larger request, even though at that time the police records clerk was new to the job. Why then this long (1280 words) and costly (to the taxpayer) missive from your lawyer? Is it because you don't want the violent nature and the cost of downtown crime to become public knowledge, especially prior to an election? In my speech to you last Tuesday I accused you of employing a number of crime -hiding tactics. I am now adding "long lawyer's letter" to that list, which follows. 1. In mid-1996, just after downtown crime became an issue, you began leaving off the "press board" the reports about most of the violent incidents downtown. As a result, the number of those incidents reported in four month samples (March through June) of the Beach Reporter plummeted, from 12 in 1995, to 9 in 1996, and to 2 in 1997. I've been discussing this with a local newspaperman for over a year, and with the police chief and other top brass for several months, so it clearly isn't just an oversight that downtown violence still isn't getting on the press board. Neither does it appear to be due to a staff shortage; the press board is kept thick with the very latest reports about crime, including violent ones, elsewhere in town. 2. You're now making public claims that crime is down, but have failed to mention that you're using data that is 10 months out of date and that the up-to- date reports given you each month by your chiefs show crime and paramedic trauma calls have increased significantly in 1997. 3. You have been manipulating the crime statistics before they are even statistics. In early 1996 I made and published a geographic plot of assaults which showed them concentrated downtown. Since then the instigators of most fights downtown have been charged with drunk in public instead of assault. That may explain why drunk in public arrests went up 14% between 1995 and 1996. And many instigators are not arrested at all. 4. You pay lawyers to write long intimidating letters to citizens who have asked for routine records. Even in tourist towns such as ours, city councils shouldn't hide crime because they think it might affect the reputation of the town. The public can handle the truth. Let us know that you will be giving it to us. Sincerely, cc: The public James Lissner, Hermosa Beach November 4, 1997 Coucilmembers: The attached police report, 97-4000, was not on the press board as of 5 p.m. today. Why? • HERMOSA BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT CRIME REPORT 97-4000 ECKERT# 109 Synopsis: On 10/26/97 at about 0030 hours there was a fight involving multiple suspects at 22 Pier Avenue.

He said it was a wonderful visit attended by about 90 Hermosa Beach residents, noting that he and Councilmember Benz attended at their own expense, not City expense. He said it was a week-long festival of celebration of Loreto's birthday, which included a lot of activities and entertainment. Councilmember Edgerton said he attended the first training class for the City's new citizens emergency response team which took place Monday evening, October 27, 1997 at the Fire Department. He said the program is intended to assist firefighters in the event of a disaster and the training class was very interesting with a great turnout of about 30 people, noting that classes will continue for about two months. Councilmember Bowler announced the success of the Woman's Club annual pancake breakfast which took place Saturday, October 18, 1997, at Clark Building, and the Concours d'Elegance—the classic car show which took place the same day at Clark Field, commending both as wonderful community events which were well attended, and noting that the proceeds from both events were donated to Project Touch. PRESENTATIONS: CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION TO RICHARD & THELMA GREENWALD HERMOSA BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE'S 1997 MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR Mayor Reviczky congratulated Richard and Thelma Greenwald for being named the 1997 Man and Woman of the Year by the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce.

He said they both have been a powerful influence for good in the growth and progress of the community.

Advance $40,000 in Sewer Funds(160) to cover costs for preparation of Engineer's Reports for the Loma and Myrtle Drive Undergrounding Districts. Background: The City Council at it's regular meeting on January 14, 1997, approved staff's recommendation to proceed with the process of creation of the Myrtle and Loma Drive Undergrounding Districts. This included approval of a $28,500 contract with Berryman and Hennigar to prepare the proper documents and procedures for obtaining resident's approval of these districts. At that time an appropriation of $40,000 from the Landscape and Lighting District was approved to cover these and other costs relative to this project with the understanding that these moneys would be reimbursed to the City upon formation of the districts. Analysis: Due to changes in state law brought about by Proposition 218 it is suggested that the $40,000 now be advanced from the Sewer Fund(160) to cover the costs for preparation of the Underground Utility Districts documents. Fiscal Impact: Funds for the preparation of assessment documents for the Loma and Myrtle Drive Undergrounding Districts will be reimbursed to the Sewer Fund upon establishment of the districts. If the districts are not established these funds will not be recovered. The Sewer Fund(160) currently has a fund total of $2,559,050. Respectfully submitted, Joseph C.

Appropriate $35,683 (including tax) from the Equipment Replacement Fund. Background: The five Xerox copiers to be replaced are located:. 1) Police Department Records Division, 2) the Community Resources Department, 3) the Community Development Department, 4) the Fire Department, 5) Community Services Division Base 3. These five copiers were purchased in 1988. Since the machines are all nearly ten years old, they are technologically inadequate and have frequent downtime (one machine is not running at all and would cost $500 to repair). The Minolta copiers to replace these machines will be two (2) Model EP2080 @ $6,434; two (2) Model EP2010 @ $4,400, and one (1) Model EP6001 @ $11,295. Analysis: Copying is a large part of the daily operation of the City. Providing the proper equipment for all the departments with old machines will increase productivity and improve morale. Most copiers today offer a wide variety of features to simplify copying applications. The models we have selected are those best suited to the needs of the departments requesting replacements. Comparisons of copier features and updated pricing available through various state, federal and county bids were evaluated for six vendors whose machines were demonstrated for us in 1995 when we purchased two other copiers. A great deal of time was devoted to ensure that comparisons were accurate and that our needs could be met in the following areas: 1) reputable vendor, 2) price, 3) service/supplies cost, 4) copier features/technology, 5) service response and support. Prices for the five machines from the bids are as follows: MINOLTA $32,963 PITNEY BOWES $36,685 CANON $44,858 SHARP/MONROE $45,440 MITA $46,235 XEROX $48,546 The annual maintenance cost will be $3,608, compared to the current $9,621, or a savings of $6,013. We have thoroughly investigated the proposal from the Minolta Business Systems, Inc. Robin Bennett, Executive Secretary and I have looked at their copiers and have talked with other entities lg who now use their machines. According to references, we can expect excellent performance and service. Funding• Historically we have entered into lease purchase agreements when acquiring office machines. Since funds are available in the Equipment Replacement Fund, an outright purchase is recommended. The estimated balance in the Equipment Replacement Fund at 6/30/97 is $429,700.

Commercial Lot 49,882 Residential Lot 45,012 ' 2 For further background information please refer to the attached Planning Commission minutes and Staff Report. Analysis GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT / ZONE CHANGE The Planning Commission considered two primary issues relative to the zone change and General Plan Amendment: 1. The utility of the site under the current land use designation 2. The appropriateness of the land use relative to the surrounding neighborhood. The existing designated commercial depth of 290 feet for this subject block is based upon the land use and zoning designations dating back to the 1956 Zoning Ordinance and confirmed by Council actions following the 1989 "Multi -Use Corridor Study' At that time the three lots at 709-723 6th Street were changed from a residential S.P.A. and R -P zoning designation back to commercial (The current Commercial S.P.A. designation). Prior to 1956 the designated commercial depth on City Land Use maps was 100 feet. The existing commercial depth south of Learned Lumber is also 290 feet while to the north its 122 feet. (See the attached Zoning Map exhib t, and excerpt from the MUC study). The Commission considered the utility of the site relative to the adjacent uses, commercial trade area and more general economic conditions. Over the years the previous owner of the property to the north had sought to attract a major "mini -box" type commercial tenant such as Staples or Circuit City, but could not do so as the 1 to 2 acres of land area could not support uses of 10,000 - 20,000 square feet and adequate surface parking. (Please refer to Attachment No. 8). In addition, there has not been demand to redevelop the property as these mini -box type users are already located in neighboring communities comprising the trade area. Further complicating the redevelopment of the parcels during the period was the general down -turn in the economy. Given the lack of interest in developing the property, Learned Lumber and the adjacent owner proposed a real estate transaction to resubdivide the property to create greater commercial frontage for the lumber yard and reduced commercial depth to allow development of a residential condominium. 1The depths of Commercial General Plan and Zoning designations along P.C.H. between 1st and 8th Street and Pier Avenue to 24th Street were established as a result of Council actions in 1989 to change what was seen as an ambiguous `Multi -Use Corridor" General Plan designation to a' Commercial Corridor" designation, and to establish a defined Commercial General Plan and Zoning boundary based on existing land uses, property ownership boundaries, topography, and practical assessments of what could potentially be included in the commercial district. (See attached exhibits) Neither the Multi -Use Corridor or the subsequent Commercial Corridor designation has encouraged new commercial development activity along P.C.H. 3 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Please refer to the attached. Planning Commission staff report for the detailed analysis of the specifics of the condominium development as originally submitted (for 24 -units with access exclusively from 6th Street) and for the reconfiguration of the lumber yard. Additional conditions were imposed on the project to enhance compatibility with surrounding residential uses and to spread the impact of the increased traffic to both 6th and 7th Street. The most significant ,conditions were the reduction of the project from 24 to 20 units and the requirement to add restricted access to the project from 7th Street. The reduction of units was to make the project more consistent with surrounding densities, and to provide additional land area to accomplish the following changes to the site design: • Break up the massing proposed by the 12 -unit building into maximum 5 -unit buildings. • Increase the number of guest.parking spaces to a total of seven (7) not tied to specific units. • Increase the common open space area. • Provide additional driveway area to connect to 7th Street to more equitably distribute the traffic generation from the project onto nearby abutting residential streets. Another modification was made to the operating conditions of the Lumber Yard which were extended to 6:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Monday through Friday (instead of 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. recommended by Staff). TRAFFIC STUDY An updated traffic study has been submitted showing the new trip generation and distribution numbers for purposes of evaluating the impacts of Planning Commission imposed changes, and including an evaluation of the redistribution of trips caused by the changes to the ingress and egress to the lumber yard. The study shows that increased traffic from the condominium project will have a less than significant impact on surrounding residential streets and nearby intersections. Further, the projected redistribution of trips to and from the lumber yard will result in substantially fewer commercial trips on 6th Street. It should be noted that the assumptions for ingress and egress from the lumber yard on 6th Street include customer trips onto the site which is inconsistent with the 4 Planning Commission conditions of approval to restrict access from 6th Streeet to employees only. This would likely further reduce commercial traffic impacts on 6th Street.

Behind this store on property zoned R -2(C) is an older single-family home for sale, and a new 4 -unit apartment and a duplex both in good condition. These residential uses are part of a neighborhood of single-family and two-family developments on both sides of 8th street which continue to the west. They directly abut commercially zoned vacant land to the south. The existing commercial depth seems adequate to accomodate the existing commercial use. A recent attempt to expand that depth to provide more parking was supported by the City only with stringent conditions because of the concern of residents in the 8th street neighborhood. Given this concern, the decent quality of the neighborhood, and the 50 foot commercial depth across 8th street to the north, staff feels the commercial designation should extend no further than the existing commercial depth of 122 feet. Middle of the block: Existing development consists of a series of old commercial buildings fronting on P.C.H. containing"Recycled Records," and a Thai Restaurant," which apparently have residences above, and the "Mar Vista" motel, which has rooms to the rear of the front building, and "Learned Lumber." These businesses are located on lots zoned C-3 with depth of 290 feet. In the rear of the lot containing the motel there is an old residence and a large vacant field. The 290 foot depth of commercial zoning accomodates the existing lumber yard, and would be conducive to the possible turnover or improvement of the lot containing the motel. This depth should be maintained in a commercial designation. North side of 6th Street Existing development consists of an auto supply store and the "Remax Realtors" office building on P.C.H. Behind these uses to a depth of 200 feet is an access drive and parking area for "Learned Lumber,". a 2 -unit development in poor condition at 721 under the same ownership, and two older single family homes in fair condition. The C-3 zoning goes to a depth of 170 feet, followed by an SPA zone from 170 feet to 230 feet, and an R -P zone from 230 feet to 290 feet. Because the depth of existing commercial development extends to 200 feet and the next adjacent lot is under the same ownership } excerpted from 1989 Multi -Use Corridor Study (Wage 3 of developed with an older residential development in poor condition, Staff believes that the commercial depth should be extended to at least 230 feet to include this lot. Also, because the next two lots are already zoned R -P and front on a local street which which is highly undesirable (automotive uses are located directly across the street) these lots should also be included to a depth of 290 feet. RECOMMENDATION Locate the Commercial/SPA boundary at a depth of 122 feet along the south side of 8th Street, coterminous with the C-3 boundary; at a depth of 290 feet in the middle of the b1oCk, coterminous with the C-3 boundary; and at a depth of 290 feet along the north side of 6th Street at the current R-P/R-2 zoning boundary.

Project / Site Information GENERAL PLAN: Commercial Corridor ZONING:. C-3 SITE AREA: 94,894 Square Feet (2.2 Acres) EXISTING USES AND AREA (in Sq. Ft.): PROPOSED LOT SIZES (in Sq. Ft.) Commercial Lot Residential Lot 705 P.C.H.:Vacated Comm./Res. Building and Motel (37,160) 635 P.C.H: Lumber Yard (53, 371) 654 7th Street: (4,320) 49,882 45,012 The subject site is located on the west side of Pacific Coast Highway between 6th Street and 8th Street and includes three lots fronting on 6th Street and one on 7th Street. The properties do not include either the 6th Street or 8th Street corner lots. The existing commercial lot depths are 290 feet, and the rear lot lines are coterminous with the General Plan/Zoning boundary lines separating commercial from residential (As a result of the GPA and ZC actions taken in 1989 with respect to the P.C.H. Multi -Use Corridor). The project also includes one lot currently zoned R-2 that fronts on 7th Street. The Lumber Yard has been in operation at this location since the 1920's, and the Motel/Commercial building was constructed in the 1940's. Background The applicant and property owners have been considering development and redevelopment of the subject properties and reviewing their options with staff for several months. Efforts to redevelop the underutilized property at 705 P.C.H. have been going on for several years, and recently the Mar Vista Motel, and 2 -story structure were closed due to non-compliance with the seismic retrofit requirements. The owners of the 290 foot deep commercial property originally pursued commercial development consistent with zoning, but found that market and economic conditions did not support such redevelopment'. This is due to several factors, including the lack of corner frontage, inadequate lot size to support a significant retail user, a limited "trade area", and the saturation of the strip commercial market in the South Bay. Without success in these commercial ventures, the owners also considered submitting a request to develop the back half of the property /2 residentially. However, given the adjacent lumber yard use, and only 20 -foot frontage on 7th Street, developing a residential use in this location did not make good land use sense. Subsequently, the current proposal emerged involving a land swap and resubdivision of the property in conjunction with the adjacent property (owned by the Learned Lumber family), to expand their lumber yard commercial frontage on P.C.H. Combining these properties made it more reasonable to develop the rear portion of these properties for residential use, and allowed Learned Lumber to obtain more commercial frontage. The first iteration of the residential project plan was to access from 7th Street, which dead ends into the rear portion of the commercial lots, thereby directing all project generated traffic to Ardmore Avenue and other local residential streets. After two Environmental Staff Review Committee meetirigs2 which included analysis of traffic and circulation, and where concerns were express by residents of 7th Street, the applicants revised their project to incorporate additional property on 6th Street and to provide access from 6th Street. With this revised plan, a significant portion of residential traffic will be directed to P.C.H. reducing the total impact on Ardmore Avenue and other local residential streets west of P.C.H, while increasing the impact on 6th Street.3 The StaffEnvironmental Review Committee, at their meeting of June 19, 1997, recommended a Mitigated Negative Declaration pending finalization of the traffic study, finding that that all potentially significant environmental impacts could be mitigated to less than significant levels.4 The traffic impact study has since been completed, and the City's Traffic Engineer has confirmed that the project generated traffic impacts are not significant.5 Analysis SUMMARY Based upon the lack of commercial development interest to redevelop the site and the potential to mitigate commercial traffic intrusion into adjacent residential neighborhoods with proposed Conditions of Approval, staff is recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. Also, if the property is re -designated and rezoned, staff is recommended approval of all necessary project entitlements contingent upon several significant changes to the site design which are recommended as Conditions of Approval. The principal conditions/issues of concern are summarized below: CONDOMINIUM PROJECT DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS • Reduce the overall number of units to 22 (one less on the west and east sides of the main driveway) to be more consistent with surrounding residential densities, and provide a more prominent recreation space/open space area in the center of the project, and provide additional guest parking. • The residential buildings should be reconfigured to maximum 5 -unit clusters (thus dividing the 12 -unit building into three buildings as shown in an earlier version of the plans) to break up the mass. LUMBER YARD PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS • All lumber yard traffic, including truck traffic, should be via P.C.H., which requires reconfiguration of the internal circulation and parking for the P.D.P. for the lumber yard • The plan proposes a 14 -foot high wall and 12 -foot lumber stacks where the site abuts residential uses, setback 5 -feet from the property line. The zoning ordinance requires an 8 -foot building setback, and limits the heights of walls to 6 -feet unless approved by a C.U.P.=to address commercial/residential land use conflicts. The proposed wall and stacks thus needs a positive interpretation by the Commission that it does not constitute a building subject to the 8 -foot setback requirement and, that the approval needs to include approval of greater height fence. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT & ZONE CHANGE POLICY ISSUES The proposal involves a major Land Use decision as to whether the City should redesignate and rezone the back portion of these commercial lots for residential use, and thus significantly reduce the depth of potential commercial development on this site. The existing depth of the commercial designation (Commercial Corridor) and the zoning (S.P.A. 7) are based on land use/zoning designations that date back to 1956 when the City's first Zoning Ordinance was adopted, prior to that the designations on City "Land Use Maps" only provided for a commercial depth of 100 -feet deep. More recently, when General Plan and zoning designations along large sections of P.C.H. were examined, the deeper 290 -foot commercial depths were maintained and reconfirmed for the two large parcels in question, and redesignated to Commercial Corridor and S.P.A. 7 from a "Multi -Use Corridor" designation (1989 Multi -Use Corridor Study). This decision was consistent with the stated objectives of the study to maximize commercial potential. Also, the residential zoning on the subject lots fronting on 6th were redesignated from residential to commercial. The specific factors that applied to the subject locations were both the extent of existing commercial development (the lumber yard) and the depth of the commercial development to the south which is also 290 feet. Over the last 8 years since these decisions, there has been little interest in redeveloping these sites. Many factors have contributed to the lack of commercial development on this and similar properties along the P.C.H. corridor, some site specific relative to trade area, and others a reflection of the downturn in the economy. The commercial depth for the subject property cannot accomodate a "box" retail use of 20,000 to 30,000 square feet with surface parking or a neighborhood mall according to the previous owner of a portion of the site. Given this condition, the consideration of a change in policy to consider residential use may be appropriate. I4 PROPOSED PROJECTS The proposed project provides a reasonable short term alternative, as the existing commercial use will be reconfigured and in the long-term provides a suitable location for a single -use commercial project that does not need greater lot depth. The residential development provides the economic incentive to eliminate the derelict building on 705 P.C.H. and improve the circulation, parking, efficiency, and screening of the lumber yard/hardware store site. The residential use will be more compatible with the existing residential uses to the north on 8th Street where the commercial depth is only 120 feet. Further, if a larger commercial project were constructed in this location it would potentially have more circulation and parking impacts in the nearby residential neighborhoods than the proposed projects. The applicant is proposing the Medium Density Residential General Plan Designation with R-2 zoning, consistent with the neighborhoods to the south and west. However, it should be noted that these neighborhood are characterized by a pattern of development that has occurred on a lot by lot basis, resulting in either two or three unit condominiums, and single-family development. The proposed project density is at the high end of the range for the MD residential designation (23.2 units per acre) -while the surrounding maximum density to the south (assuming lot by lot 2 -unit development would be 20 units per acre, and to the north on 8th Street (assuming lot by lot single-family due to smaller lot sizes) would be 14 units per acre. The overall current density for all the R-2 zoned lots between Ardmore and P.C.H., south of 1 lth Street is 21 units per acre. Attached Exhibits A & B also show what the resulting number of units would be under two more typical residential subdivisions using R-2 zoning standards (22 with a cul-de-sac street design for the property atthe end of 7th Street and a 4 -unit complex on 6th Street ; and 16 units if lot patterns were extended, and the lots developed with 2 -unit condominiums on an extended 7th Street, and 4 units on 6th Street) RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM PROJECT The applicant is proposing an integrated project of 24 units, sharing a common drive and common recreation space areas. The project proposal consists of 4 buildings containing 3, 4, 5, and 12 units in each building. Each unit will include a 2 -car garage and two guest parking spaces located in front of the garage. An additional three guest parking spaces are provided in parallel along the common driveway. Adequate private and common recreation space is provided for in the proposed site layout, with a centrally located private recreation space. The concept floor plans and depict two basic floor plans each containing 1,821 square feet of living area above a basement level, with three bedrooms and 21/2 baths. The exterior features include clay tile roof and stucco walls, giving the units a contemporary Mediterranean style of architecture. While the concept plans show general compliance with minimum Zoning standards it does not appear to meet the intent of the condominium Ordinance relative to the recreation amenity, and compatibility with surrounding development. Staff thus has concerns relating to compatibility, lS appearance, and emergency access—which are proposed to be resolved, as described below, by reducing the number of units to 22. • The easterly building is 12 -units attached in a row with no break in the mass. Earlier concepts depicted three buildings containing 3, 4 and 4 units, providing both a visual break in the appearance. Staff is recommending that the 12 units again be broken into three smaller buildings, with a reduction of one unit. • The centrally located recreation space is a narrow 17 -feet where it fronts the main driveway, and widens to a more usable 40 -feet towards the rear. Staff believes this open space needs to be widened at its front, providing a more usable recreation area consistent with the intent of the condominium ordinance. This would be accomplished by the elimination of another unit (identified as unit 21 on the plans.) resulting in approximately 1100 square feet of additional open space or added guest parking. • While the project provides two guest parking spaces per unit, these spaces are limited in use to guests of that specific resident, and given the use of a common driveway rather than a traditional street no curb parking is available.. Many residents, however, can be expected to have more than two vehicles, and will occasionally have more than one or two visitors. Further, various types of service and delivery vehicles need a place to park. The project includes only three un -assigned guest spaces along the main drive. Staffsuggests that in conjunction with the widened open space noted above additional guest parking could be provide at the current location of unit #21 resulting in 4 additional guest spaces. The projected traffic generation from this project is a daily trip total of 168, an AM peak hour generation of 13 (2 inbound, 11 outbound) and a PM peak hour of 17 (11 inbound, 6 outbound).6 These trips will be divided between eastbound and westbound along 6th Street (80 eastbound per day and 88 westbound).' RECONFIGURATION OF THE LUMBER YARD The proposed new layout for the lumber yard/hardware store will provide more commercial frontage, and orient customer parking and circulation towards Pacific Coast Highway. Customer parking is proposed to be moved to the P.C.H. frontage and employee parking will be maintained along 6th Street. The existing two driveways on P.C.H. will be combined and enlarged into one wide drive to accommodate two-way traffic with better vision clearance. The plan also re -aligns all the lumber stacks in a north -south direction, and provides a lower height stack (12') in conjunction with a 14' high block wall where residential property abuts. Overall, the plan is a positive step towards a more efficient layout for the continued operation of an existing business, and will probably result in less impact on adjacent residential uses, particularly with respect to commercial vehicle use of 6th Street However, large truck circulation and employee traffic is still proposed to go through to 6th Street which still presents a serious concern to residents on 6th Street. /6 In order to address the concern about the excessive commercial traffic, staff previously suggested to the applicant that access from 6th Street be closed. Instead, the applicant submitted an alternative plan showing that access be retained, but for left turn exiting only. The applicant is also willing to provide a knuckle or some other type of traffic control device to force this left turn. While this is a viable alternative, staff is recommending that no through traffic to 6th street be allowed from the main part of the site. The employee parking could be maintained with access from 6th Street along the existing alley, but connection into the lumber area would be for pedestrian access only. Staff believes this would minimize commercial intrusion while allowing for reasonable operation of the business. However, traffic exiting onto P.C.H. would still have the option of turning right (westbound) onto 6th Street. This recommendation is based on a qualitative analysis of the different scenarios. Existing and potential commercial traffic and distribution under these scenarios were not quantified in the traffic study. The applicant's proposed solution to provide limited left -turn only access onto 6th Street, may possibly be as effective as it would not allow westbound use of 6th Street since customers and truck traffic would be forced to exit left on 6th Street and right on P.C.H. The applicant has submtted additional information (attached) to demonstrate to the Commisison that this option provides a better solution for directing commercial traffic. The applicant has also submitted some general information about existing operations that are intended to be continued, highlighted as follows: • Hours of Operation: Monday -Friday 7-6; Saturday 8-5; and Sunday 9-3 • 20-25 Employees M -F (about half on weekends) • The business receives 5 large truck and trailer deliveries per day and 3 van truck deliveries • The business ships five 10 -wheel truckloads per day and 5-6 smaller flatbed truckloads. The business does not deliver via truck and trailers. • The business averages about 210 transactions per day, which generates approximately 150 customer trips. • The business fleet includes one 10 -wheel truck and 3 flatbed trucks. They also operate 4 circular saws, a band saw, and 3 forklifts. Although this is an existing business, the new configuration increases the amount of the site perimeter that will abut residential uses warranting consideration of all these operational issues. To address existing complaints and prevent future enforcement problems in respect of these residential uses, the existing early morning lumber delivery hours and fork-lift operations should be modified to minimize disruption to adjacent residents. Residents have complained that fork-lift motors are started as early as 6AM to warm-up for lumber deliveries that come between 6 and 7 AM, staff has also received varying reports of early starts for some of the saws and other noisy equipment. With respect to the lumber stack/wall combination where the sites abut residential uses, the findings for an over -height wall can be supported, pursuant to Section 17.46.030(F) because the higher wall is necessary to mitigate the visual and noise impacts of the commercial lumber yard use. The zoning ordinance requires an 8 -foot setback for any building from residential property. Therefore, in addition to approving a C.U.P. for the over -height wall, the Commission needs to interpret that the 14 -foot wall/lumbe stack combination is not a building subject to this requirement. JOINT DEVELOPMENT / SUBDIVISION ISSUES In addition to traffic and circulation issues which have been discussed above relative to each part of the project, the combined uses bring up some additional issues. Staff has met with representatives from 6th Street to discuss their concern with this issue. Commercial traffic and especially truck traffic was the primary concern expressed by residents. Also combining commercial traffic with the new trips generated from the residential project are especially a concern. To address these concerns, 6th Street residents propose closing of 6th Street at a point east of the proposed condominium entrance, to limit their exposure to residential traffic only. Street closures bring up traffic concern in areas well outside this neighborhood, since existing traffic patterns within the street network will change, causing a redirection of traffic, including that generated from residents on 6th Street, to other nearby residential streets. Therefore, closing the street is a policy matter for City Council to consider, and is beyond the scope of this project. While the total numbers and AM/PM peaks are not considered significant, with respect to thresholds of the industry related to intersection LOS (levels of service), the combination with commercial traffic creates a valid concern. However, staff believes the commercial intrusion attributable to the lumber yard or any future commercial use can be mitigated by limiting their access to P.C.H. only. This will eliminate large trucks trips, and significantly reduce customer trips on 6th Street. The net result would mean only a marginal increase in total trips, with a reduction in the more intrusive types of commercial truck traffic. The residential/commercial buffer at the common property line is also an important attribute of the joint development proposal. This has been addressed in a unique way by providing the required landscape buffer for the Commercial project (5 -feet in width) as an easement and an amenity for the residential project. This will result in the planting of a heavily landscaped buffer on the residential side of the wall, which will then maintained by those most interested in its maintenance. The proposed subdivision of the property results in 1 large parcel for the condominium project, but the P.C.H. fronting commercial lots (lots 2 and 3) are divided. In the interest of maintaining the commercial frontage in one large parcel consistent with proposed commercial use, and for long- term commercial viability staff is including a condition on the subdivision that lots 2 and 3 be merged into one. ALLEY VACATION / LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT The applicant also proposes to vacate the existing 10' alley located at the northerly side of the existing customer parking area for Learned Lumber. Its only current purpose is to provide access to the rear facing garages of the residential duplex at 709 6th Street. The first step in the vacating process involves a General Plan Amendment to remove the 10' wide alley from the General Plan Map, and then the formal vacation process can be initiated. Since the applicant is also proposing an adjustment of the common property line with 709 6th Street to provide a 10 -foot drive along the side of the existing duplex, staff recommends approval of the General Plan Map amendment and the lot line adjustment.

DEV. DEPT. To: Mr. Randy Morris ANASTASI CONSTRUCTION, INCORPORATED 1200 Aviation Boulevard, Suite 100 Redondo Beach, CA 90278 From: Don Barker, H Subject: Lumber Yard Driveway @ 6th Street I have reviewed the lumber yard driveway plan at 6th Street. It appears that the driveway will work with a minor modification. The east, end of the driveway is recommended to be extended about 5 feet or install a 45 degree "Y" to avoid the last semi -truck axle running over the curb. In asmuchas ADA standards must be adhered to in the sidewalk transitions of the driveway, the angle of the driveway and positioning of the "Left Turn Only" sign, defines the path of the vehicle rather than a physical barrier. From my observation, parking along the south side of 6th Street presents the physical barrier to trucks because a sufficient turning radius would not exist to proceed west on 6th Street. Given the physical constraints of 6th Street and residential neighborhood west of the lumber yard, it is very unlikely that a professional truck driver would attempt to turn west on 6th Street.

Introduction The purpose of this memorandum iazn provide d Lumber aiarnes circulation overview of the revised Le plan. The Learned Lumber Yard 6th Street in Hermosa Beach, cated on the west side of Pacific Coast Highway, north of CA. SJite Desc ' do The revised lumber yard site plan provides for a major access from Pacific Coast Highway, approximately 225 feet north of 6th Street and a smaller driveway designed as a "Left Turn Only" to 6th Street. The Pacific Coast Highway driveway provides access to the relocated customer parking lot north of the access and to the lumber racks located west of theparking lot and the retail has been located building within the site. Employee parking south of the lumber yard racks, adjacent to 6th Street and the primary flow is oriented to exit to 6th Street. The proposed site plan is presented in Exhibit 1. Consulting Traffic Engineers to Government Agencies ZZ o It is noted that the single story commercial building located cat monrthe northwest s west corner of Pacific Coast Highway and 6th Street is not a part of the Traffic Generation Based on historical and current use information concerning the l� A b rp yaris d,dehed aila trip generation is estimated at approximately 340 trips perda vehicle entering or departing a land use. Truck deliveries to the lumber yard total about ten semi-truck mi-tr g and six ruck deliveries to the van type truck trips per day for a total of 16 truck trips per day. Normal site are madeduring the early morning hours (7:30 AM toaboautk0:00 areaet total, Monday - Friday). Deliveries from the lumber yard to the surrounding 2 trips per day and consist of one large truck and smaller flat bed type trucks. f Customer activity is estimated at about 300 trips per day and generally consists of p weiandght passenger vehicles and pick-up type vehicles. Generally, ick performancevehicles are considered as regular vehicles since their overall size, similar to passenger vehicles. The total estimated trip generation of the lumber yard is ab d o 340 trifps s perinfday ti nd about 38 trips of those trips are commercial type trucks. the composition of truck trips to total traffic generated is similar to warehousing and some types of manufacturing businesses 5'1e Circulat on the Circulation within the revised site plan places less emphasis n 6thWaee north seoe the placement of customer parking is adjacent to Pacific CoastHighway ighwadjacent to r6th Street. the Pacific . Coast Highway access v'ded acing from Leoyee Paci perking Coast Highway driveway to Internal circulation is provided directly the customer parking as well as to the lumber racks for loading. It is noted that semi -truck deliveries entering the Pacific n a diHighway i h oa acess s ill necessarily need to exit through r�ez6iteStreet the 6th Street driveway are likely to be the trucks, employees using parking only users of that driveway resulting in a reduced traffic c ume oness th 6th reStrend a right These exiting vehicles will be required to exit as a left turn turn at Pacific Coast Highway. The turn onto 6th Streetis v e esicsnedfofor left "Left turTurn Only". In addition, the driveway will be designed to orient nd 6th Street parking will be prohibited between Pacific Coast Highway and the driveway to facilitate the traffic in this area - 13 Recommendations It is recommended that the 6th Street lumber yard driveway be signed with "R-11", ("Do Not Enter") signing since the parking aisle will operate one-way southbound. The R-11 signing should be oriented to face 6th Street traffic to prohibit entrance to the driveway. This signing is recommended in addition to the "Left Tum Only" requirement for exiting traffic. Summary and Conclusions - The revised lumber yard site plan provides for customer parking adjacent to the Pacific Coast Highway driveway and places employee parking adjacent to 6th Street. - Historical and current use information indicates that the lumber yard trip generation is estimated to be about 340 entering and departing trips per weekday. Approximately 38 of these trips are flat bed or larger type trucks which compares with warehousing and some manufacturing uses- - The placement of customer parking adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway is likely to encourage the use of that access. The employee parking orientation to 6th Street and exiting semi-trucks will be users of the 6th Street driveway. Because employees and exiting semi-trucks are the only vehcles expected to use the 6th Street driveway, the amount of traffic to 6th Street is expected to be reduced. This traffic will be directed to travel eastbound to Pacific Coast Highway. - The 6th Street driveway is recommended to be signed with an "R-11", ("Do Not Enter") signing since the parking aisle will operate one-way southbound. The .R 11 signing should be oriented to face 6th Street traffic to prohibit _ entrance to the driveway. This signing is recommended in addition to the "Left Turn Only" requirement for exiting traffic.

RESOLUTION 97-55 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO RECOMMEND AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN FROM COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM SPECIFIC PLAN AREA #7 TO R-2 (TWO -FAM LY RESIDENTIAL) AND ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR TILE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE REAR PORTION OF TWO COMMERCIAL PARCELS FRONTING ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (635 AND 705 P.C.H.) AND INCLUDING THREE LOTS ON 6TH STREET AS DESCRIBED BELOW AND SHOWN ON THE ATTACHED MAP The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Michael Learned, et al, and Anastasi Development Corporation owners in escrow of real property at 635 and 705 Pacific Coast Highway and 709- 725 6th Street, seeking to amend the General Plan Map and Zoning Map. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to consider the application for a Precise Development Plan on September 16, 1997, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission Section 3. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The requested changes will reduce the depth of the commercial designated property, as measured from P.C.H. westward, from 290 feet to 165 feet, and replacing the commercial designations on the rear 125 feet to allow residential development consistent with the Medium Density Residential classification of the General Plan and the R-2 Zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The existing commercial property at 635 P.C.H. has been in continuing use as a retail lumber yard since the 1920's and contains a retail building supply hardware store and several lumber stacks, and employee and customer parking on the properties that front on 6th Street. The property at 705 P.C.H. contains commercial buildings on the front portion and is largely vacant on the rear portion. The commercial buildings are currently vacated due to non- compliance with the City's seismic safety ordinance, and were most recently used commercially for a Motel and restaurant and retail commercial uses. 2S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3. The subject properties have been designated for commercial use to the full depth of 290 feet since the adoption of the City's first zoning ordinance in 1956. 4. The adjacent property to the North is designated on the General Plan and Zoning Maps for commercial purposes to a depth of 120 feet, and to the south to a depth of 300 feet. 5. Surrounding residential property to the west is designated Medium Density Residential on the General Plan and Zoned R-2, which allows residential development up to a density of 24 units per acre, and is currently developed with a mix of single and multi -family uses in which the current density ranges from 15 - 24 units per acre. Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the request General Plan Amendment and Zone Change 1. The General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will recognize current market conditions which have not supported or created an interest in commercial development at this location at the existing depth, and allow the development of a more appropriate residential land use. 2. The subject property to be redesignated is appropriate for residential use as it is abutted by residential uses to the north, and located in an area which is predominantly residential in character. A residential use of the subject properties will be more compatible to surrounding residential uses than a potentially more intensive commercial use. The redesignation to Medium Density Residential on the General Plan Map and R-2 on the Zoning Map will be consistent with designations to the west of the subject property, and will allow a density of residential uses in a range consistent with surrounding residential development. 3. The Planning Commission concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's recommendation, based on their Environmental Assessment/Initial Study, that this project will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a Negative Declaration. Section 4. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council amend the Land Use Map of the General Plan, and the City's Official Zoning Map as follows: 1. Amend the Land Use Map of the General Plan by changing the properties, as described below and shown on the attached map, from Commercial Corridor to Medium Density Residential, and amend the Zoning Map by changing the properties, as described below and shown on the attached map, from S.P.A. 7 to R-2 Two -Family Residential: 635 Pacific Coast Highway, legally described as a portion of lot 27, Block 78 2nd Addition to Hermosa Beach, M.B. 3-11-12 2.6 705 Pacific Coast Highway, legally described as a portion of lot 28, Block 78, 2nd Addition to Hermosa Beach, M.B. 3-11-12 709, 721, and 723 6th Street, legally described as lots 6, 7, and a portion of lot 8, Tract No. 8525 VOTE: AYES: Comms.

RESOLUTION NO. 97-56 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO RECONFIGURE THE LAYOUT AND INCREASE THE COMMERCIAL FRONTAGE OF AN EXISTING LUMBER YARD SITE AND APPROVING AN OVER- HEIGHT VERHEIGHT WALL AT 635 AND 705 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Michael Learned, et al, owner in escrow of real property at 635 and 705 Pacific Coast Highway, seeking approval of a Precise Development Plan to reconfigure the layout and increase the commercial frontage of their existing commercial lumber yard and hardware/building supply store and for Conditional Use Permit to allow a 14 - foot high wall where the commercial use abuts residential use. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to consider the application for, a Precise Development Plan on September 16, 1997, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission Section 3. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The existing lumber yard and building/hardware supply store have been in operation at the subject location since the 1920's 2. The lumber yard as currently configured, is located 011 128 feet of frontage on Pacific Coast Highway with a depth of 290 feet, including 150 feet of frontage on 6th Street. Primary customer and employee access is from 6th Street. The frontage on P.C.H. is proposed to be expanded to 256 feet, and the overall depth from P.C.H. reduced to 165 feet. The frontage on 6th Street will be reduced to 60 feet. The total site area will be comparable, decreasing from 53,000 square feet to 49,000 square feet. The applicants are proposing to continue to operate the lumber yard and building/hardware supply store on the newly configured site, and to relocate the primary access and customer parking to the P.C.H. frontage. 3. The site is zoned for commercial use, with a specific designation of Specific Plan Area No. 7. A lumber yard is a permitted use in said zone, pursuant to Section 17.26.030 of the zoning ordinance. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for a Precise Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit for an over -height wall: 1. The project is consistent with applicable general and specific plans, and is in compliance with the use and development requirements of the zoning ordinance. 2. The site is zoned S.P.A. 7, Specific Plan Area -Commercial, and project and proposed use complies with the development standards contained therein (Section 9.68-6). 3. Compliance with the Conditions of Approval will mitigate any negative impact resulting from the issuance of the Precise Development Plan. -4. The use of an over -height wall of 14 feet is necessary to mitigate potential noise and visual impacts on the abutting residential uses. 5.The Planning Commission concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's recommendation, based on their environmental assessment/initial study, that this project will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a Negative Declaration. Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the subject Precise Development Plan, subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The development and continued use of the property shall be in conformance with submitted plans reviewed by the Planning Commission at their meeting of September 16, 1997. Modifications to the plan shall be reviewed and may be approved by the Community Development Director. 2. Commercial traffic intrusion onto 6th Street shall be minimized by eliminating all customer and truck delivery access from 6th Street, and providing internal vehicle circulation controls, such as signs and gates, to limit trucks and customers to the P.C.H. entrance only. Alternatively, use of 6th Street may be permitted as an exit only for truck traffic if it can be demonstrated by a qualified traffic consultant/engineer that a traffic control device such as a paved "knuckle" other paving treatment and/or driveway apron design will effectively preclude large truck traffic from right turn movements westbound on 6th Street. Said traffic control device is to be reviewed and approved by the City's Traffic Engineer and the Community Development Director. 3. The hours of operation of the lumber yard shall be limited to between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM Monday thru Friday, and 8AM to 5PM Saturday and Sunday. This specifically prohibits the operation of any machinery, such as the saws and fork- lifts, orklifts, and the loading or unloading delivery trucks except during these operating hours. Z7 4. The project shall comply with the requirements of the Public Works Department. 5. Final building plans/construction drawings including site, elevation, floor plan, sections, details, landscaping and irrigation, submitted for building permit issuance shall be reviewed for consistency with the plans approved by the Planning Commission and the conditions of this resolution, and approved by the Community Development Director prior to the issuance of any Building Permit. 6. All exterior lights shall be located and oriented in a manner to insure that neighboring residential property and public right-of-way shall not be adversely effected 7. '° The project and operation of the business shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Municipal Code 8. The Precise Development Plan shall be recorded, and proof of recordation shall be submitted to the Community Development Department. 9. Each of the above Conditions of Approval is separately enforced, and if one of the Conditions of Approval is found to be invalid by a court of law, all the other conditions shall remain valid and enforceable. 10. Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, it agents, officers, and employees from any claim, action, or proceeding against the City or its agents, officers, or employee to attack, set aside, void or annul this permit approval, which action is brought within the applicable time period of Government Code Section 65907.

Minutes 9-16-97 34, PLAN AREA NO.7) TO R-2, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP #52251 AND LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, ON THE REAR PORTION OF TWO COMMERCIAL PARCELS FRONTING ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (635 AND 705 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY) AND INCLUDING THREE LOTS ON 6TH STREET, FOR A 24 -UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT TAKING ACCESS FROM 6TH STREET, AND PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO RECONFIGURE THE LAYOUT AND INCREASE THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY FRONTAGE OF THE EXISTING LUMBER YARD, AND ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION AT 635 & 705 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND 709, 721, AND 723 6TH STREET. Staff Recommended Action: To recommend approval of said General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, and adoption of the Environmental Negative Declaration; also approve Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, Subdivision and Lot Line Adjustment. Director Blumenfeld indicated the project involves a Precise Development Plan for Learned Lumber to reconfigure property to accommodate additional commercial frontage and visitor and employee parking and a Conditional Use Permit to permit for an over height wall and approval of all the project entitlements for the development of a 24 -unit condominium development. He said the residential project, as noted in the Staff report, conformsto. all zoning and development standards. He stated there are two fundamental issues for the Commission; approval of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change and if that change is approved, the approval of all the discretionary permits for both the commercial and residential projects. Director Blumenfeld said the applicant is seeking to change the General Plan designation from Commercial Corridor, C.C., to Medium Density, and to remove a 10 -foot alley right-of-way from the General Plan map which would facilitate the residential development and in addition to change the underlying zoning from SPA 7 to R-2, which would permit that medium density residential portion of the project. He said that the zoning was established and confirmed subsequently in General Plan Amendment revisions. He noted that the commercial lot depth on the south is 290 feet and to the north it is substantially less, and that issue of where the line is drawn on commercial property has been a concern for the current City Council and previous Councils and Commissions. He said the issue relative to the Commission's decision about changing the General Plan should turn on the utility of the site under the current land use designation and the appropriateness of that land use relative to the surrounding uses. He said the utility of the site is governed by a number of factors, including the adjacent uses, the commercial trade area, and general economic conditions. Over the years the previous owner of the property to the north of the existing Learned Lumber site sought to attract a mini box user or other commercial users, in particular, looking at Staples, Circuit City, mini box users of between 20,000 and 30,000 square feet, but that was not possible to attract such a user, partly because of the trade area and partly because of the size of the site which at less than one acre can't adequately accommodate a building footprint of that size and surface parking. He said based upon the poor redevelopment interest of the site and the potential to solve several outstanding land use conflicts which currently exist, which include providing an adequate buffer P.C. Minutes 9-16-97 between the lumberyard and the adjacent residential uses, eliminating a derelict and dangerous building, the Mar Vista Hotel, an unreinforced masonry building, rationalizing the lumber truck circulation problem which have been an ongoing problem in the adjacent neighborhoods streets, requiring a 14 -foot high screen wall and sound wall 011 the westerly edge of the property, requiring a landscape setback on the proposed new residential project, requiring more restrictive operational requirements for the lumberyard in order to deal with noise issues, providing more parking to service the Learned site in support of Learned Lumber which has been a long standing commercial use, Staff recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. Director Blumenfeld said if the Commission approves the General Plan Amendment and the Zone Change, there are also several changes which are proposed for both the commercial plan and residential project plan. Staff is recommending on the residential portion of the project be reduced to 22 units. He said in addition Staffis recommending four additional Guest Parking spaces and breaking up the building massing, which is 292 feet long on the easterly portion of the site, into building modules of three and four units and providing some additional common open space. On the commercial portion of the project, he said Staff is recommending: requiring ingress and egress entirely on Pacific Coast Highway unless the city's traffic engineer confirms that a proposed traffic control device, which primarily involves reconfiguring a driveway which exits onto 6th Street, is appropriate to preclude right turn movements westbound onto 6th Street and then restricting operating hours for certain machinery and equipment in connection with the Learned Lumber site at 7:00 o'clock on weekdays and 8:00 o'clock on weekends. Discussion Comm. Perrotti inquired if there was a requirement that a certain square footage required a second access. -would be needed. Director Blumenfeld explained that building and fire safety access issues depend upon the building and the site and other standards as determined by the Fire Chief. He said the Fire Chief and all city departments have reviewed and approved the project plans. Chmn. Tucker stated the zoning changes would be handled initially. Chmn. Tucker opened the public hearing at 8:26 p.m. Cheryl Vargo, 5147 Rosecrans, Hawthorne, representing the applicants, introduced Rick Learned. Rick Learned, 1727 Monterey Boulevard, commented on the progress of the family business through acquisition of residential lots and land swapping and their family's commitment to the community. Dan Erickson, 2461 Silver Stand, discussed ownership changes of properties within the area of Learned Lumber. He stated that zoning for Learned Lumber yard for the years 1985 through 1997 has not changed. He stated that the city will be getting a more upgraded lumber yard and more in compliance with some of the wishes and needs of the city and still retain probably the oldest single owner business that the city has ever had. P.C. Minutes 9-16-97 Cheryl Vargo, distributed a copy of a zoning map, which showed that this property is one of the largest SPA7 zone on Pacific Coast Highway. She commented that the proposal wants to take an existing lumber yard, reconfigure it so that it is approximately the same size as it is today but has a greater commercial depth, which will be improved with better parking configurations and more landscaping. She also stated that this is a general plan issue because residential uses are permitted in a SPA7 zone. Pat Kilian, 720 8th Street, said he would end up being 10 feet away from the lumber yard and is not in favor of the proposed zone change. Rosamond Fogg, 610 6th Street, commented that the density may be something to consider before making this policy change. Pat Price, 719 8th Street, submitted pages of accident reports and photos from 6th Street to 8th Place, as well as a photo of Learned Lumber. She said the values of their properties are impacted, and she expressed concern about environmental health standards. Ralph Winley, 619 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, said he owns the business one business south of Learned Lumber and wanted to make sure that the access to the new Learned project would not impact his parking. Cheryl Vargo, 5147 Rosecrans, Hawthorne, said there isn't a need any longer for large sites, so what we are offering is something that can be done today and will be of benefit to the city. No one else wished to speak, and Chmn. Tucker closed the public hearing at 9:08 p.m. Discussion Comm. Perrotti said the City Council has a policy that they prefer not to see commercially zoned areas of the city rezoned to residential and that it is more feasible to have one ownership spread across the frontage. Chmn. Tucker commented that it would be more beneficial to the city to rezone. MOTION by Comm. Perrotti, Seconded by Comm. Schwartz, RECOMMENDING amending General Plan from commercial corridor to medium density residential and changing the zone from specific plan No. 7 to R-2. AYES: Comms Perrotti, Pizer, Schwartz, Chmn. Tucker NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Comm. Merl Brief recess taken at 9:15 p.m. 39 P.C. Minutes 9-16-97 Planning Commission Meeting reconvened at 9:20 p.m. Cheryl Vargo, representing applicants, presenting some photos of the current operation, and said there has been some question of the compatibility issue with the adjacent R-2 properties and this R-2 designation, which permits 25 units, and taking that into consideration, the design lessens the impact to the R-2 properties. She also stated that the development in some instances exceeds zoning requirements. She commented that the code requires that each unit have a single guest space; therefore, the code requirement has been doubled for guest parking. She said by taking the customer parking and placing it on the Pacific Coast Highway frontage, the entry to the lumber yard has improved in that it is doubled. She said they are also proposing a knuckle configuration at the exit point, so that the traffic will be forced to tum left. She said they are basically improving the site flow circulation. Mike Learned, 635 Pacific Coast Highway, .stated that they arebasically moving the lumber yard from an east/west configuration to a north/south configuration. He said their goal is to get a flow of traffic for the big equipment. In response to a question from Chmn. Tucker, regarding loading of customers, he said they want access from Pacific Coast Highway with a 50 -foot entranceway and said he is going to encourage his customers to use the Pacific Coast Highway entrance. Chmn. Tucker opened the public hearing at 9:50 p.m. Scott Alden, 646 6th Street, commented on the issue of the huge amount of commercial traffic on 6th Street and said the street needs to be blocked off. Liz Connolly, 650 6th Street, stated she has lost her view, privacy, and sunlight. She also said her street is unable to accommodate two-way traffic as there is parking on both sides and suggested an equitable solution would be to separate their small, overburdened street by closing it. Paul Burke, 659 6th Street, commented that the conditions on the project are inequitable and another entrance to the condos is needed. He said access from both 6th and 7th Street is appropriate for the future and possible emergency situations. He also said a reduction in the size of the complex is warranted. Margo McDonald, 650 6th Street, said this is a distressed residential zone and will be compounded even further by the traffic of 24 new units. Cynthia Kenny, 635 6th Street, said the quality of her life has diminished over the last four years. She also said Cal Trans has precluded left-hand turns onto Pacific Coast Highway and the vast majority of traffic will probably be coming down 6th Street, which cannot absorb anymore traffic, and she suggested a temporary street closure. Larry Taggert, 655 6th Street, expressed concern about excess traffic coming from the new condo units. Mark Maleeka, 618 6th Street, expressed his concern about the safety issue with fully loaded trucks moving too fast down the street. P.C. Minutes 9-16-97 Franz Walter, 631 6th Street, commented on the unsafe traffic, noise, parking problems, and density of traffic. He suggested removing commercial traffic on 6th Street and opening up 7th Street, which is a very quiet street. Pat Kilian, 720 8th Street, emphasized that forklifts start at 6:10 a.m. every morning and that potential owners of the new condos have no idea how they will be impacted by the noise of this lumber yard. Rosamond Fogg, 610 6th Street, stated that zoning codes place upper limits on density and urged that the number of units on the project be reduced to the minimum that would be economically feasible. She also emphasized that because of the hazard analysis being done by the Coastal Commission, the CC&Rs require disclosure on the part of the seller. Nancy Reviczky;,:600 Ardmore, said the residents are united on the issues surrounding this project such as the density problem, the safety issue, the decision of whether or not to block off 6th Street. John Cherry, 641 6th Street, presented a petition and said trucks moving in both directions on 6th Street has deteriorated the street. Steve Ashley, 647 7th Street, spoke about the substantial impact the increased traffic would have on the small dead end street. Claudia Kruchevsky, 634 Ardmore, suggested that a reduction in the number of units would be favorable to everyone. Gertrude Erhousen, 648 7th Street, suggested cutting down the number of condos and to charge more money. Steve Kenny,- 635 6th Street, suggested a reconsideration of the whole project. Rebuttal Cheryl Vargo, representative of applicant, pointed out that a single entrance to a project is not unusual and a street closure on 6th Street may not be a viable solution. Don Barker, 275 Centennial Way, Tustin, responding to comments from Chmn. Tucker regarding the traffic report, stated that if 6th Street were choked at some location that restricts traffic in one direction, it will force traffic to find another location. He also commented on a study done in 1994 that did look at neighborhood intrusion, which may have some viable alternatives. Michael Learned, applicant, stressed that Learned Lumber would support any kind of solution that the city would support in terms of 6th Street. He also reviewed their response to the resolution as was presented for the Precise Development Plan. In response to Director Blumenfeld's statement that Staff has recommended that ingress and egress be taken exclusively off of Pacific Coast Highway, his response was that it was unacceptable to the applicant. In response to a question by Chmn. Tucker regarding night time light, he stated that they intend to P.C. Minutes 9-16-97 use lighting more for security purposes and not to offend the neighborhood. In response to concerns expressed by Comm. Schwartz and Pizer regarding noise occurring before 7:00 a.m., he said their customer service level would definitely go down and the early hours are needed to get loading done and to get the trucks out to their sites. He also said some customers have left to use Home Depot, so traffic trips are down. No one else wished to speak, and Chmn. Tucker closed the public hearing at 11:12 p.m. Discussion Director Blumenfeld explained, in response to concerns expressed by Comm. Perrotti regarding the closure of 6th Street, that this is a broader issue that should be addressed by the City Council and that Staffs recommendations are meant to deal with the project's specific issues and not meant to deal with an area wide issue of closing a street.

Tucker NOES: None ABSENT: Comm. Merl ABSTAIN: None Discussion Comm. Perrotti recommended having a second access point at 7th Street and agreed with Staff regarding the reduction of units to 22. Comm. Pizer suggested using double glazed windows and sliders to reduce noise. Chmn. Tucker said that 20 units would be more compatible with P.C. Minutes 9-16-97 the neighborhood and suggested fire sprinkling all of the units. He said that 7th Street access would spread out the burden of traffic and also suggested different tile blends on the roof, different trim, and decorative concrete to create more individuality on the project. MOTION by Comm. Perrotti, Seconded by Comm. Schwartz, to APPROVE resolution with modification as follows: Paragraph 4, number of units be revised to 20, color shall be varied between buildings, windows shall be double glazed, second electric gated access shall be provided at 7th Street, and there shall be seven guest spaces not tied to any unit; add language about the access to 7th Street as one reason why one less unit; add Paragraph 4A that there would be a security gate on the access to 7th Street; modify language in Paragraph 8 so that the residences should have the appropriate sprinkler system which is approved by the fire chief.

Zoning:S.P.A. 7 8. Description of Project: Subdivision and Tract Map to resubdivide the existing parcels such that two commercial lots will be created to front on Pacific Coast Highway (Lot 2 and Lot 3, 0.49 acres each), and another lot (Lot 1, 1.03 acres) is created for a 24 -unit condominium project on the rear portion of property accessed from 6th Street. General Plan Amendment from Commercial Corridor to Medium Density Residential and Zone Change from S.P.A 7 (Specific Plan Area #7) to R-2 (Two -Family Residential), and Conditional Use Permit and Precise Development Plan for a 24 -unit Condominium, for the newly created rear lot (LOT 1). The resulting density of the of 24 -unit project is 23.2 units per acre which is consistent which is at the high end, but consistent with, the density range for the MD classification (14-25 dwelling units per acre). Precise Development Plan, to reconfigure and relocate some the storage area of the existing lumber yard to reduce its depth and lengthen its frontage on Pacific Coast Highway (LOT 2 and LOT 3). Project construction will involve the demolition of the existing commercial buildings at 705 P.C.H. (a motel, and two story commercial building), and the relocation of the lumber stacks and parking areas to the north along P.C.H.. A 24 -unit residential condominium project will be constructed on the rear portion, with access from the easterly end of 6th Street.

(To be completed by the Lead Agency.) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, that there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environmental, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. ignature Date Printed Name sJ GmviAktik-R., For Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact I. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? c) Be incompatible with existing land use in vicinity? d) Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g. impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from incompatible land uses)? e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including a low income or minority community)? 0 0 El 0 0 ❑ I -a The project requires a general plan amendment from Commercial Corridor to Medium Density Residential, and Zone Change from S.P.A. 7 to Two Family Residential (R-2). These changes will reduce the available potential depth for commercial development as measured from P.C.H., and increase the amount of available land for residential development. The change would be consistent with the commercial depths north of the site but result in a lesser depth of commercial depth relative to properties to the south. Given that the emphasis will remain commercial for the P. C.H. and the changes are a modification of the depth, these changes, while requiring a significant policy decision, are not considered a significant environmental impact. I -b Staff is not aware of any environmental plans or policies spec fically related to this subject site or area, which is in an urban setting, that the proposed project would conflict with. I -c The proposed eventual uses of the property will be compatible with the surrounding uses which include residential uses to the north and west of the proposed 24 -unit condominium with a MD residential General Plan Designation and R-2 zoning, and commercial uses to the north and south of the lumber yard as reconfigured A landscaped buffer is proposed to minimize the conflict between the new residential uses and the lumberyard The proposed density is at the high end of the range for the MD residential designation (23.2 units per acre) while the surrounding existing residential development to the south is about 20 units per acre, and to the north 14 units per acre. I -d The project would not affect agricultural resources or operations as neither the project site nor the surrounding uses are currently used for farming operations and the site's soils are not considered agriculturally significant. Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact I -e The project is located within an urbanized area with a mix of uses, and the proposed residential use would not divide the community. Sources: City of Hermosa Beach General Plan, City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code H. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections? b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or indirectly (e.g. through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructures? c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ ❑ ❑ 0 O 0 0 Il -a The potentialaddition of 24 residential dwelling units in an area designated for commercial uses will incrementally alter the expected housing and population projections for the City. However, this is not considered signcant. 11-b The project would not induce growth in Hermosa Beach, or the regional area. The highly urbanized area is already served by extensive infrastructure. 11-c As the project site is already developed with commercial buildings, the proposed project would not displace any existing housing. III. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture? b) Seismic ground shaking? c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? d) Seiche, tsunami, or volcanic hazard? e) Landslides or mudflows? fj Erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading, or fill? S3 O 0 0 O 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 O 0 0 El O 0 0 O 0 ® 0 Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): g) h) I) Subsidence of the land? Expansive soil? Unique geologic or physical features? Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 0 ❑ ❑ III -a There are no known fault lines in the City and the locations of past epicenters do not indicate the presence of fault areas in Hermosa Beach.. III -b During the life of the project it may be subject to a major earthquake, which may cause damage to the proposed residential dwellings and present a hazard to residents. Existing Building regulations such as the UBC address these seismic hazards, and City review of construction plans for compliance with all applicable regulations is considered adequate to reduce risks to less -than -significant. III -c The site has not been surveyed for susceptibility to seismically induce hazards such as liquefaction. Geotechnical studies required as part of the development review process will address these potential hazards. It is expected the such"hazards will be adequately addressed through compliance with the UBC and through implementation of the recommendations set forth in required geotechnical studies. III -d There is no potential for either seats or volcanic activity, or a tsunami at the subject site. III -e The project site=is in a developed area which is characterized by low topographic relief Landslides and mudflows are thus not considered to be a hazards in the project area. III -f The project will involve grading, excavation, and filling which could result in erosion or unstable soil conditions. Geotechnical studies required as part of the plan review process would address the potential for erosion or unstable soil conditions and would include measures to reduce or eliminate these hazards. HI g Subsidence as well as other potential geotechnical hazards will be evaluated and addressed by geotechnical studies required as part of the plan review process. It is expected that any such hazards can be addressed through routine engineering design employed in the area. III -h The potential for encountering expansive soils at the project site is considered to be low, as sandy soils, such as those characterizing the project area, are not considered expansive. III -i The project site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

Would the proposal result in: Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the ❑ ❑ ® 0 rate and amount of surface runoff? Exposure of people or property to water related 0 0 ❑ hazards such as flooding? c) Discharge into surface waters or other alteration of 0 0 0 IZ surface water quality (e.g. temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity)? d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water ❑ ❑ ❑ body? e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water 0 ❑ ❑ movements? f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either 0 ❑ 0 through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ❑ ❑ ❑ h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ❑ ❑ ❑ i) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater ❑ ❑ ❑ otherwise available for public water supplies? IV -a The project will result in modification to drainage patterns and internal flows, but is not expected to significantly alter the volume of water that drains off the site to the local storm drain system. Development and construction plans required as part of the plan review process will evaluate volumes of discharge and storm system connections, and compliance with these plans and the requirements of the Public Works Department would address any potential impacts and provide for proper connections and flows into the local storm drains, and any need for improvements to said system.. IV -b -i There are no impacts anticipated to these items as there are no known water bodies or groundwater which might be affected by the construction or operation of the project. V. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an 5S ❑ 0 Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): existing or projected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any chance in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ❑ ❑ 0 El 0 0 V -a The proposed condominium project would replace the existing commercial uses on the 705 P. C.H. site which already generate mobile source (vehicle emissions) as well as other non-mobile sources of emissions related to the existing uses. The proposed residential uses will also result in the generation of mobile source emissions with total traffic trips to likely be at a higher rate. In total, the overall impact on air quality is expected to incrementally more than the existing uses, with different type of air quality impacts at differing times of the day. These impacts are anticipated to the less than significant. V -b As noted above, ..the air quality impacts will be altered only marginally, and thus any changes to existing exposure to existing sensitive receptors (nearby residential areas) will be less than significant. V -c No potential exists to alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate. V -d The project is not expected to result in the generation of objectionable odors. VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? ❑ b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g. sharp ❑ curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? c) Inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? ❑ 0 ® ❑ e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? ❑ ❑ ® 0 f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative ❑ 0 0 transportation (e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? g) Rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts? 0 ❑ ❑ Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact VI -a The timing, volume, and pattern of vehicle trips will be altered which may potentially increase the total number of trips as compared to the pre-existing commercial uses. This change in vehicular circulation and traffic may potentially result in impacts on nearby local and collector residential streets and intersections with Pacific Coast Highway. These impacts are partially quantified in the attached "Traffic Impact Analysis" prepared by Hartzog Cranbill, Inc. which show that the trip generation association with the subject proposal results in the addition of 140 trips per day, with 11 additional trips in the AM and 14 in the PM peak hours. According to the City Traffic Engineer these trip generation rates may underestimate the actual resulting number of trips when considering the conditions in Hermosa Beach, and thus should be adjusted Also, whether these added volumes are considered significant depend on if they cause any change in the levels of service at nearby intersections which is not included in the analysis. Also, pursuant to the comments of the City Traffic Engineer (Memo from Ed Ruzak, Dated 6/10/97) significance levels cannot be determined without including an analysis of CalTrans plans to close off some of the P.C.H. left turn areas. VI -b Changes in traffic patterns could present a hazard to public safety. The exiting traffic onto 6th Street is fairly close to P.C.H. (200 feet) bringing up concerns about adequate sight lines. The City's Traffic Engineer indicates specific concern with this given that parking is allowed on North side of 6th Street. Based on the recommendation of the City Traffic Engineer, in order to make the sight lines for exiting vehicles safe, parking prohibitions on the north side of 6th Street may need to be implemented VI -c Emergency access would be available to the site, but requires emergency vehicles to do a 3 -point turn to exit backout of the condominiums. This will be evaluated for and required to comply with fire safety and emergency access standards as part of the plan review and approval process. VI -d Adequate parking would be provided on-site for the occupants of the proposed development, with guest parking provided in the 17 foot setback areas provided behind the garage which complies with the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Providing the guest parking in this way, does not provide any guest parking separate from the individual: units. Further no on -street guest parking will be available given the design of the project with common drives and no public street. This is a design /policy issue and not considered a potentially significant impact. VI -e The project would not result in the creation of hazards or barriers to pedestrians or bicycles. As noted above, the increased traffic flows on existing intersections might marginally increase hazards at these locations, this is considered less than sign cant. VI -f The proposed project would be designed to comply with any applicable policies supporting alternative transportation. VI -g The proposed project would not effect rail, waterborne, or air traffic. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in impacts to: 57 Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a) Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? b) Locally designated species (e.g. heritage trees) ? c) Locally designed natural communities (e.g. oak forest, coastal habitat, etc.)? d) Wetland habitat (e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑El IZI 0 El VII -a -e The project site is currently fully developed in an urban setting, and contains negligible vegetation or habitats for any flora or fauna, and the proposed project would not cause any adverse impacts to biological resources. VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful an inefficient manner? Results in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the and the residents of the state? ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ VIII -a The proposed project would be required to be constructed to comply with energy conservation standards in the State's Uniform Building Code. VIII b The size of the project and the nature of the residential use would not involve significant or wasteful use of non-renewable resources. Application of the existing regulations are considered adequate to ensure that non-renewable resources would not be used in an inefficient or wasteful manner. VIII -c There have been no significant amount of mineral deposits identified at this site, or in the City of Hermosa Beach. Should there be potential for encountering sub -surface oil deposits, development of the site with residential uses would not preclude or significantly effect future exploitation of these resources if it was desired Source: City of Hermosa Beach General Plan, Conservation Element sg� Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact IX. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals or radiation)? b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard? d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush, grass, or trees? 0 ❑ ® 0 ❑ 0 0 El ❑ ® 0 0 ❑ 0 ® 0 ❑ ❑ 0 El IX -a Construction of the project may involve the use of diesel oil, and pesticides on landscaping. The use of these substances is typical of most construction projects and the risk of accidental explosion or release is considered negligible. IX -b The size and location of the project would not interfere with City wide emergency response and evacuation plans.. IX -c The historical use of the site for commercial makes it possible that contamination of the soil and/or groundwater has occurred, and could create a health hazard during construction or to occupants during the life of the project. Soil studies required as part of the plan review process would address the potential for any health hazards and would include measures to reduce or eliminate these hazards. However, during the construction phase of the condominium project residents along local residential streets may be exposed to significant construction vehicle traffic, which would include the hauling of debris and construction materials with large trucks. This has been mitigated by the redesign of project to route all construction traffic away from residential streets, and access it directly from P.C.H., or from P.C.H. via 6th Street east of any residential uses. IX -d Occupancy of the proposed residential dwellings adjacent to the existing lumber yard use within this commercial may result in limited exposure of people to airborne particulates and/or fumes, or excessive noise. With the proposed landscaped buffer to separate the proposed residential uses from the lumber yard these hazards are not considered signcant.. IX -e The area is not characterized by existing flammable brush, grass, or trees, and the project would be constructed in compliance with fire safety standards. X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in: Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): a) Increases in existing noise levels? b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact X -a Residential occupancy is expected only to negligibly affect the pattern and volume of existing noise levels. Construction noise will temporarily impact noise levels, typical for a project of this size and scale which is not considered significant due to the construction traffic route away from residential uses. X -b The occupancy of the residential dwellings may potentially expose people to noise generated from existing adjacent commercial land uses, this is not considered significant given the incorporation of a landscaped buffer in the project plans. However, construction noise will temporarily impact noise levels typical for a project of this size and scale which is reduced to a less than significant level since construction traffic is directed away from residential streets as noted in Section IX -c. XI. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new,or altered government services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection? b) Police protection? c) Schools? d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? e) Other governmental services? O 0 ® 0 O 0 ® 0 O 0 ® ❑ O 0 ® ❑ O ❑ ® ❑ X! -a -e The addition of 24 residential dwelling units will marginally change the need for all these services. This is considered to be less than significant, as most of these services are already necessary for the operation of the commercial business on the site, and the marginal changes, such as added school aged residents should be easily accommodated by existing resources and facilities that area already available in this highly urbanized area. These impacts are also partially- mitigated by various City required fees imposed on new construction, and the property taxes that will be generated from this project, which contribute towards the continued provision of these services. Also, the project will include a 6" water line tied into an existing 6" water line at 6th Street to provide adequate fire flow for the project and to improve fire flow and water pressure for all existing residents along 7th Street. XII. UTILItIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies, substantial alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): b) Communications systems? c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities d) Sewer or septic tanks? e) Storm water drainage? f) Solid waste disposal? g) Local or regional water supplies? Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact XII -a -g The addition of 24 residential dwelling units will marginally change the total demand and the pattern of demand of all these utilities and service systems. This is considered to be less than significant, as these utilities and service systems are already necessary for the operation of the manufacturing and commercial business on the subjects, and the marginal changes, such as need for more phone lines, possible increases in sewer use and solid waste generation should be accommodated by existing utility and service systems that are already available in this highly urbanized area. These impacts are also partially mitigated by various City required imposed on new construction, and the property taxes that will be generated from this project which contribute towards maintenance and upgrading of these systems-. XII -d:: The proposed tie-in to the existing 8" sewer line is adequate to service the needs of this project and any potential future improvements/upgrades to existing residential properties on 6th Street. XIII. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? b) Have.a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect? c) Create light or glare? ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ El ❑ ❑ ® ❑ XIII -a -b The proposed residential development would replace existing commercial uses that are of various architectural and building styles that do not possess any scenic attributes, frame or contribute to a scenic vista, or have any special aesthetic value. XIII -c The residential development would introduce new sources of light in the area, and change the pattern of lighting. This is not expected to be significant. XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources? ❑ ❑ ❑ 6� Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): b) Disturb archaeological resources? c) Affect historical resources? d) Have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area?

XV. RECREATION. Would the proposal: a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities? b) Affect.existing recreational opportunities? ❑ ❑ ® 0 O 0 0 XV -a The added residents would marginally increase demand for parks and other recreational facilities. Based on the size of the project and the number of dwelling units this impact is considered to be less than significant, and is partially mitigated by the incorporation of recreational open space within the project, and by the required park fees that will be imposed on the development which contribute to maintenance, upkeep, and expansion of the City's park facilities. XV -b The proposed project will not impact any existing recreational opportunities. XVI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the 0 0 ❑ quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short- term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? 0 El Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects) d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

Our property has been listed on and off over five times in the past six years. It has been very hard to find a buyer. The prevailing down turn in demand for commercial property over the past 5 years coupled with the City of Hermosa Beach mandating we retrofit our buildings has put us in a squeeze. .Attached is a fraction of the businesses I alone have contacted to purchase our site. I have also enclosed a copy of the appraisal we obtained from an MAI I spoke to the real estate representatives of each establishment on the list. All of the names herein were not interested for one reason or another. The Office Deposts, Circuit City's, etc., need more square feet than available. Banks are consolidating and hurting themselves. The value of beach property is not economically feasible for most food establishments. At over 37,000 square feet our site is the 9th largest commercial property in the Hermosa Beach area on PCH. I have been sucessful in obtaining a franchisee who wants to build a restaurant mixed with additional retail outlets. The project will create almost 10,000 square feet of commercial space on 27,000 square feet of commercial land. The new parcel of commercial land will rank as the 12th largest commercial property in Hermosa Beach. We are proposing to develop the rear 9,000 sq. ft. for a 5 unit condominium project. Our proposed residential use will buffer the existing housing units on 7th and 8th streets from the commercial uses.. At only 5 units, the additional traffic impact on 7th street will be minimal. Most of the surrounding home owners would rather have a residential use as their neighbor than commercial. This is the highest and best use for our property. I hope we can get you and your departments endorsement as we plan to move on this project.

DEV. DEPT. Re: Plan Amendment from CC to MD at 635 and 705 Pacific Coast Highway Honorable Council Members: As residents of Sixth Street, we are very concerned about the increased traffic that will be generated by the condominium development proposed for 709, 721 and 723 Sixth Street. Thus, we believe that it is imperative that approval of the project be contingent upon the incorporation of effective traffic mitigation measures. We have outlined our concerns in the attached September 9, 1997 letter, which we originally submitted to the Planning Commission. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Sixth Street Traffic Coalition Attachment Members include: Nancy Reviczky, 600 Ardmore Avenue Rosamond Fogg, 610 Sixth Street Mark and Julie Mollica, 618 Sixth Street Frans Walther, 631 Sixth Street Pravin Lad, 633 and 645 Sixth Street Stephen and Cynthia Kinney, 635 Sixth Street Chiman Lad, 641 Sixth Street Scott Alden, 646 Sixth Street Elizabeth Connolly and Margaret MacDonald, 650 Sixth Street Larry Taggart, 655 Sixth Street Francis Nolan, 658 Sixth Street Paul Burke and Jaqueline Torfin, 659 Sixth Street CG September 9, 1997 Planning Commission City of Hermosa Beach Hermosa Beach Civic Center Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254 Honorable Commissioners: In re Plan Amendment from CC to MD at 635 and 705 PCH: RECEIVED SEP 101997 COM. DEV. DEPT. Representatives from our Sixth Street Traffic Coalition met with Sol Blumenfeld and Ken Robinson on Thursday, September 4, 1997 regarding the above mentioned plans. We appreciate the. city staff's willingness to consider the concerns and entertain the recommendations. from the residents directly affected by this project. We were disappointed, however, at the staff's reluctance to seriously consider our request for permanent street closure. On Sunday, September 7, 1997, our coalition met to discuss the city staff's alternate mitigation measures. After lengthy discussion we concluded nothing short of a street closure would properly mitigate the project's impact on our health, safety and well-being. Our small block cannot accommodate an increase in traffic for the following reasons: 1. We already fear for the safety of the numerous young children living on our street. The volume and speed that nonresidential vehicles travel westbound are excessive. Increased traffic will exacerbate an already dangerous and intolerable situation. 2. Sixth Street cannotproperly handle the current traffic volume due in part to the narrow width of our street. Unlike other streets, Sixth Street it is not wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic. One vehicle must pull over to allow the opposite vehicle to pass. Increased traffic generated from the proposed condominium development would overwhelm our narrow 28 -foot street. 3. One lane accommodation of two-lane traffic, combined with the blind spot at the crest of the hill, makes exiting and entering our driveways unsafe and perilous. In addition, when vehicles travel down the hill, they routinely pick up excessive speed that threatens our safety and the safety of others. 4. The vibration and noise generated by the current traffic volume are disruptive and unsettling. Increased traffic will further reduce. the quality of our lives. 5. Convenient street parking in Hermosa Beach generally is at a premium and Sixth Street is no different. It is imperative that any condo development or reconfigurration of the Learned operation will contain adequate parking for tenants and guests, employees and customers. 67 Page Two For the aforementioned reasons, many property owners were already planning to request that Sixth Street be blocked off at the residential -commercial boundary prior to learning about the contemplated condominium development (e.g., Tenth Street near PCH). In sum, separating the residential portion of our street from the commercial area is not simply desirable, it is absolutely necessary for our safety and well-being. The property owners and residents of Sixth Street overwhelmingly support street closure as evidenced by the enclosed petitions. Thus, the Planning Commission would be acting with our wholehearted support by making the project contingent upon the installation of a traffic barrier. Furthermore, we concluded that a reduction in the size of the condominium development is imperative. These measures are both proper and economically feasible. This developer enjoys a tremendous economic advantage because land costs are significantly lower than normal. The savings garnered from purchasing commercial property and converting it into more lucrative residential property should be applied toward generous measures to adapt the project to suit the surrounding area and alleviate present and potential traffic and safety problems. We recognize that some may argue that restricting the access of commercial vehicles from the residential portion of Sixth Street would result in a dramatic increase in traffic on adjacent streets. This argument is baseless. Because it is dangerous, and now illegal, to turn left from Sixth Street ontb PCH, the bulk of the commercially generated traffic already travels westbound owSixth Street to access the traffic lights on Fifth and Eighth Streets. Thus, blocking Sixth Street would not significantly increase traffic on adjacent streets. The various alternate mitigation measures discussed with city staff, even when taken together, are inadequate because many of those measures will go unenforced. Permanent street closure is the only measure that will sustain the quality of our lives. The alternate mitigation measures considered include the following: 1. Reconfigure parking on Learned site so that a. customer and delivery vehicles enter and exit on PCH, and b. the number of employee parking spaces is limited to the number of employees (approx. 12 employees and 28 proposed spaces); 2. Or, reconfigure the Learned site so that all vehicle ingress and egress are from PCH (note: traffic will still be unable to safely turn left on PCH); 3. Investigate whether Learned Lumber's customers could access the Eighth Street light by traveling through the lot of the adjacent commercial property; (t Page Three 4. Temporarily close Sixth Street (90 days) to encourage drivers to establish new traffic patterns; 5. Reduce the number of condominiums to be constructed; 6. Ensure adequate guest parking on the condominium project premises; 7. Require that an ingress and egress route. be added on Seventh Street so Seventh Street can share the burden of the increased traffic (the developer's own traffic study says that Seventh Street has less than half of Sixth Street's traffic volume presently); 8. Repave Sixth Street to reduce noise and vibration; 9. Prohibit right turns from the Learned employee lot located on Sixth Street by using signage and architectural limits; and 10. Forbid trucks from turning right onto Sixth Street from PCH using signage. As discussed above, many of these measures will go unenforced. Moreover, the city staff admits that left turns from Learned's PCH parking lot will be unfeasible. Thus, it is likely that Sixth Street would continue to receive westbound traffic that is traveling to the lights on either Fifth or Eighth Streets. Therefore, for the health, safety and well-being of the families residing on Sixth Street, we ask the Planning Commission to find that street closure, in combination with a reduction in the number of units, are reasonable and appropriate mitigation measures.

Sixth Street should not be required to absorb all of the new residential traffic created by this project. The City of Hermosa Beach should require that an ingress and egress route be placed on Seventh Street, so that Seventh Street can share the burden of the increased residential traffic. In addition, I support blocking off the residential portion of Sixth Street to commercial traffic generated by the businesses located on Pacific Coast Highway, at or near Sixth Street (namely Learned Lumber and the six automotive businesses). Therefore, I support placing a permanent traffic barrier on Sixth Street, just east of where the residential housing ends. This would require the commercial traffic to travel east on Sixth Street to Pacific Coast Highway and the residential traffic to travel west on Sixth Street to Ardmore Street. 1.MoLL.% Full Name (please print) G i(?)

DEPT DENSITY: Everyone will be happier with a reduced number of units. With the current property values in the city, we can CERTAINLY withstand higher priced homes in this area. A reduced number of homes will bring fewer cars, traffic, noise, and increased safety, property values and quality of life. **PARKING: There are very 16 legal parking spots on 7th street. Many of these parking places will be lost if the access to the project is on 7th street.

TRAFFIC: Certainly, traffic levels will be doubled at the very least. ACCESS: Mr. Ruzak's April 2, 1997 report discusses the narrow width of 7th street and how the proposed traffic is "not desirable". The mitigation that Mr. Ruzak suggests would create extreme parking problems. Removal of 4 spots from the bottom of 7th St. & Ardmore solves ingress and egress. Combined with the lost spaces (8) at the top of 7th St. and the new lack of parking for the residents at the bottom of 7th, we currently have 21 spaces (all full, all the time) . There will be only 9 spaces with the new proposal (a loss of 12 spots). This does not even take into consideration parking pressure from the project. SAFETY: Traffic and congestion will definitely bring accidents. ARI1 What WE would like to see: o Project reduced to 8 -10 single family homes / change zoning to Rl. - Developers would still make their money, and density impact on surrounding residents would be greatly reduced. o Access to and from the development would be from 6th street.

Parking on 7th street would have to be addressed (A SERIOUS ISSUE). A plan would have to be developed for deliveries, trash pickup, moving trucks, UPS, FedEx, etc. which residents on access streets would be satisfied with. 7th street would require sidewalk, curb & gutter. 7th street would require a new larger water main (per Public Works Dept.). Re 1 uire QUIET gate for resident use only. Hermosa Beach City Council Re: Hermosa Beach Property 705 Pacific Coast Hwy. Mar Vista Motel Hermosa Beach City Manager Steven Burrell: For the past twelve years the Mar Vista Motel located at 705 PCH operated as a low income motel and monthly apartment rental which has generated less and less revenue for the City of Hermosa Beach and the citizens of this community. Deterioration and obsolescence of this motel operation has caused the city and its citizens to lose revenue desperately needed for street improvements, welfare of children and seniors, and various city funded programs. The Mar Vista Motel has been closed since January 1, 1997 and will never open again. Due to the ill health of one of six owners and the uncooperative spirit of the six owners, three of which reside out of the state of California, this property will never have an improved tax base for producing tax revenue. If thecurrent proposed project is not approved it will be this City Council's responsibility for the lack of revenue that will not be generated for many various needed projects funded by the City of Hermosa Beach. It could be as long as ten to twenty years, or never, until current owners, or their heirs, are in agreement to sell. November 1, 1997 RECEIVED N O V - 5 1997 COM. DEV. DEPT. Thank you for your attention to this important tax revenue possibility for the City of Hermosa Beach. we have faith and trust that you will make the correct decision for the citizens you represent in your district. Xenos - Raspe investments cc: Director Community Development Department Sol Blumenfeld ?-g November 1, 1997 Hermosa Beach City Council Re: Hermosa Beach Property 705 Pacific Coast Hwy. Mar Vista Motel Hermosa Beach City Manager Steven Burrell: This letter is for the purpose of presenting the situation of the owners of the subject property. After hearing the concerns of neighbors about the plans in progress, I would appreciate it if you would allow me to bring our situation to your attention. On October 10, 1973, my husband and I, along with other partners purchased the Mar Vista Motel. we have operated the motel with the help of managers during all these years, with the goal of this being an investment towards our retirement. There were plans of building a new motel, but an increase in interest rates caused us to leave those plans for the future. In September 1989, Mr. Xenos, our partner, passed away and we were involved in litigation related to the estate. In the meantime, the property had to be brought in compliance with the seismic codes, an:expense not feasible considering the age of the building. We decided to put the property up for sale, and after lengthy litigation we obtained a court order to sell the property. For over a year we have been in negotiations with Anastasi Construction and the Learned`s on the project under consideration. All our hopes are in this project. We closed the motel on January 1st, 1997, ,and have earned no income since that time, facing the expenses of taxes, insurance, etc. I hope this condensed explanation will give a general idea of our situation. We honestly believe this project would also improve the site where the closed motel now stands, serving to make more productive use of the property, as well as adding beauty to the city of Hermosa Beach, which we have been committed to for the last 24 years. Respectfully, Carmen D. aspe cc: Director. Community Development Department Sol Blumenfeld September 20, 1997 Stephen Burrell, City Manager Hermosa Beach City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254\ Dear Mr. Burrell: At the Planning Commission meeting on September 16 a motion was passed to look into closing Sixth Street because of the proposed condominium project on Sixth Street. The residents on Eighth Street oppose both the condominium project and certainly the closing of Sixth Street because of the direct impact that it will have on our street. At last count we get over 4500 cars per day. We think it is unfair to grant the condominium project or close Sixth Street without addressing and solving the problems on eighth Street. LUC(0.

The project site is located west of Pacific Coast Highway and north of 6th Street, in the City of Hermosa Beach, California. Our study investigates the potential traffic impacts as well as circulation needs associated with the development of the proposed 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development project within the project study area. As requested by City staff, the analysis evaluates the relative traffic impacts of the proposed project at three study intersections for a near-term (2000) horizon year. Briefly, based on the results of our analysis, the proposed residential condominium project is not expected to have a significant impact at any of the three key intersections. Therefore, no specific mitigation measures at the three study intersections are required. However, to ensure adequate sight distance is provided at the project driveway on 6th Street, on -street parking on the north side of 6th Street should eliminated. Based on our preliminary evaluation, we recommend the installation of red curb from 150 feet east and 80 feet west of the 6th Street project driveway, and the appropriate number of "R26" (No parking any time) signs. This parking prohibition will also ensure that sufficient sight distance is provided for vehicles exiting the Learned Lumber site. We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this investigation.

The traffic analysis focuses on evaluating the potential traffic impacts of the proposed project on the streets and intersections in the vicinity of the site. This traffic report is intended to satisfy the traffic impact requirements of the City of Hermosa Beach, address concerns of the City's Public Works Engineering staff and Planning Department staff, and be consistent with the 1995 Congestion Management Program (CMP) for Los Angeles County. The project site has been visited and an inventory of adjacent area roadways and intersections completed. Existing 24-hour daily traffic counts on surrounding local arterials and manual peak period turning movement counts were conducted at three locations in support of detailed intersection capacity analyses. Prior traffic studies have been reviewed and information concerning cumulative projects (planned and/or approved) in the vicinity of the project have been researched. As requested by the City of Hermosa Beach, this traffic report analyzes existing traffic conditions and future peak hour traffic conditions for the Year 2000 at three key area intersections. The three key intersections selected for evaluation provide both regional and local access to the site study area: 1. Pacific Coast Highway @ 5th Street 2. Pacific Coast Highway @ 6th Street 3. Pacific Coast Highway @ 8th Street The Volume -Capacity (V/C) characteristics and Level of Service (LOS) investigations for the AM and PM peak hour at these three key locations were used to evaluate the potential traffic -related impacts associated with anticipated area growth and the proposed 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development project. This traffic study also investigates the potential impacts and benefits of the proposed re -design of Learned Lumber's site access configuration and on-site circulation pattern. Currently, the main access to Learned Lumber is provided by a driveway on 6th Street. The new main entry with be located along Pacific Coast Highway and is designed to allow full access. The revised Learned Lumber plan accentuates the PCH access as the main entry, and places less of an emphasis on the usage of the 6th Street access. 1 LINSCOTT. LAW& GREENSPAN ENGINEERS PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION The Hermosa Townhouse Development project site is a rectangular -shaped, 1.03± -acre partially vacant, partially improved parcel of land located west of Pacific Coast Highway and north of 6th Street in the City of Hermosa Beach, California. Existing commercial uses and Learned Lumber borders the project site to the east. Existing residential homes and condominiums border the site the north, south and west. Exhibit 1 presents a Vicinity Map, which illustrates the general location of the project and depicts the surrounding street system. Exhibit 2 presents an existing plan of the project site and surrounding land uses. As shown, the project site is partially vacant and partially improved. Exhibit 3 presents the conceptual site plan for the project, prepared by the Anastasi Development Corporation. As approved by the City's Planning Commission, the proposed project consists of 20 residential condominiums/ townhouses, which are to be constructed in one phase. Exhibit 3 also illustrates the proposed layout of the Learned Lumber site. Primary access to the Hermosa Townhouse Development project will be provided by one driveway located on the north side of 6th Street, approximately 240 feet west of Pacific Coast Highway. 'This access point is proposed as a full access driveway, allowing all movements into and out of the project site. The results of our preliminary sight distance analysis indicates that on -street parking on the north side of 6th Street should, at a minimum, be prohibited from 150 feet east and 80 feet west of this driveway to ensure adequate sight distance is provided. Per the City's Planning Commission, a secondary access to the site will be provided at the east end of 7th Street. EXISTING STREET NETWORK Regional access to the City and the project site is provided via the San Diego (I-405) Freeway, the Artesia Freeway and Artesia Boulevard (SR 91) and Pacific Coast Highway (SR -1). The principal local network of streets serving the Hermosa Townhouse Development project are Pacific Coast Highway, Ardmore Avenue, 5th street, 6th Street, 7th Street and 8th Street. The following discussion provides a brief synopsis of these key area streets. These descriptions are based on an inventory of existing roadway conditions. Pacific Coast Highway is a regional north -south major highway which connects the Los Angeles International Airport with the Beach Cities in the South Bay Community and extends south through Long Beach to Orange County. Pacific Coast Highway in the study area is generally a four lane roadway with a painted center median, which provides two travel lanes in each direction. However, during the peak commute periods, parking restrictions on PCH result in an additional travel lane in each direction. Curbside parking is prohibited in the northbound direction of Pacific Coast Highway between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM, with parking prohibited between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM for southbound PCH traffic. Left -turns from Pacific Coast Highway between 2nd Street and 8th Street are restricted during the morning and evening peak periods to reduce conflicts with the high through volumes of north -south traffic.

Traffic signals, with two-phase operation, control the study intersections on Pacific Coast Highway at 5th Street and 8th Street. The intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and 6th Street is two-way stop controlled. PCH, in the study area has a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour (mph). Ardmore Avenue is a two-lane north -south, local collector street which generally permits parking along the east side. Allway stop controls are provided at the intersections of 5th, 8th and Pier. Existing daily traffic volumes on Ardmore, between 6th and 7th, total 3,886 vpd. Ardmore has a paved width of 24 feet within a 40 -foot right-of-way. Ardmore has a posted speed limit of 25 mph. 5th Street is an east -west two-lane, local roadway that extends between Ardmore Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. 5th Street has a paved width of 28 feet within a 40 -foot right-of-way. Curbside parking is only permitted along the north side of 5th Street. Recent traffic counts collected in October, 1997, indicates that daily traffic on 5th, west of PCH, totals 2,194 vpd. The Ardmore Avenue/5th Street intersection is three-way stop controlled. 5th has a posted speed limit of 25 mph. 6th Street is an east -west two-lane, local roadway which borders the site to the south. Like 5th, 6th Street extends between Ardmore Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. However, curbside parking is allowed on both sides of 6th. Like most local streets in Hermosa Beach, 6th Street has a paved width of 28 feet within a 40 -foot right-of-way. Existing daily traffic on 6th, west of PCH, totals 1,635 vpd. 6th Street is posted for 25 mph speed limit. Eastbound traffic on 6th at PCH is stop controlled and signed for a "Right -tum Only" 7th Street is a two-lane, local street which extends approximately 380 feet east of Ardmore and terminates at the project boundary. 7th Street also has a paved width of 28 feet within a 40 -foot right-of-way. Curbside parking is permitted on both sides of this residential street. Existing daily traffic on 7th, east of Ardmore, totals 311 vpd. 8th Street is an east -west, two-lane local collector that extends east of Pacific Coast Highway to Valley Drive. Curb parking is allowed along the north side of this roadway in the project study area. A two-phase traffic signal controls the study intersection of 8th Street and Pacific Coast Highway. 8th Street has a paved width of 28 feet within a 40 -foot right-of-way. All -way stop controls are in place at the 8th/Ardmore and 8th/Valley intersections. Based on recent traffic counts conducted in October 1997, 8th, west of PCH, carries approximately 4,448 vpd.

The typical traffic flow characteristics on Pacific Coast Highway tends toward heavier flow in the northbound direction during the morning commuter hours, with the opposite direction handling the heavier traffic flow in the afternoon. This segment of Pacific Coast Highway in the study area is generally congested during the peak commute hours. Existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes for the three study intersections evaluated in this report were obtained from manual morning and evening peak hour turning movement .counts conducted by Accutek in October, 1997. The three key intersections were evaluated at the request of Mr. Ed Ruzak, City Traffic Engineer. Exhibits 5 and 6 depict the existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the three key intersections evaluated in this report. The existing average daily traffic (ADT) volumes on key area roadways in the project vicinity are shown in Exhibit 7. Appendix A contains the detailed 24-hour traffic count data and manual turning movement count sheets. EXISTING INTERSECTION CONDITIONS ICU Method of Analysis In conformance with the City of Hermosa Beach and LA County CMP requirements, existing AM and PM peak hour operating conditions for the three key intersections were evaluated using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method. The ICU technique is intended for signalised intersection analysis and estimates the volume to capacity (V/C) relationship for an intersection based on the individual V/C ratios for key conflicting traffic movements. The ICU numerical value represents the percent signal (green) time, and thus capacity, required by existing and/or future traffic. It should be noted that the ICU methodology assumes uniform traffic distribution per intersection approach lane and optimal signal timing. Per LA County CMP requirements, the ICU calculations use a lane capacity of 1,600 vehicle per hour (vph) for left -turn, through, and right -turn lanes, and dual left turn capacity of 2,880 vpd. A clearance adjustment factor of 0.10 was added to each Level of Service calculations. The ICU value translates to a Level of Service (LOS) estimate, which is a relative measure of the intersection performance. Per the City of Hermosa Beach standards and LA County CMP criteria, the six qualitative categories of Level of Service have been defined along with the corresponding ICU value range, as shown in Table 1. llIN.

According to City of Hermosa Beach criteria, LOS D is the minimum acceptable condition that should be maintained during the peak commute hours. The ICU method of analysis and LOS concept are described in more detail in Appendix B. Appendix B also presents the ICU/LOS calculations at each of the key intersections for the AM peak hour and PM peak hour. Existing Level of Service Results Table 2 summarizes the existing peak hour service level calculations for the three study intersections based on existing traffic volumes and current street geometry. Review of Table 2 shows that based on the ICU method of analysis and the City's LOS criteria, only one of the three key intersections currently operates at an unacceptable Level of Service. The intersection of PCH and 8th Street currently operates at adverse LOS E during the PM peak commute hour. The PCH/5th and PCH/6th intersections currently operate at LOS D or better during the AM and/or PM peak hour.

The study identified 23 high accident locations with five or more accidents. Accident data for 1992 indicated that 8th Street at PCH ranked first with 15 accidents or more, 5th at PCH ranked fifth with 10 to 14 accidents, and 2nd ranked 6th with 10 to 14 accidents. These three locations are all sigpali7ed locations. The 6th/PCH intersection ranked 13th with 5 to 9 accidents. According to the accident reports, the majority of -the accidents involved rear -end collisions and left -turning vehicles on PCH. Neighborhood intrusion was also studied and found that 2nd, 8th and Monterey Boulevard experience a significant amount of "cut -through" traffic. 2nd Street and 8th Street provide the only east -west connections across the Greenbelt between Pier Avenue and Herondo Street. The study identified several strategies to reduce commuter traffic on these streets and additional alternatives were developed during community meetings. As a result, Caltrans has posted PCH intersections, such as 5th, 6th and 8th, for turn restrictions. Eastbound 6th Street traffic is now required to turn right at PCH (although our traffic counts show motorist still turn left), and northbound and southbound left -tum movements on PCH are restricted during peak commute periods. Northbound left -tum are generally restricted between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, while southbound left -turns are prohibited between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM. The turn restrictions are intended to reduce congestion, accidents, and "cut -through" traffic. TRAFFIC FORECASTING METHODOLOGY In order to estimate the traffic impact characteristics of the 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development project, a multi -step process has been utilized. The first step is traffic generation, which estimates the total arriving and departing traffic on a peak hour and daily basis. The traffic generation potential is forecast by applying the appropriate vehicle trip generation equations or rates to the project development tabulation. The second step of the forecasting process is traffic distribution which identifies the origins and destinations of inbound and outbound project traffic. These origins and destinations are typically based on demographics and existing/expected future travel patterns in the study area. The third step is traffic assignment, which involves the allocation of project traffic to study area streets and intersections. Traffic assignment is typically based on minimization of travel time which may or may not involve the shortest route, depending on prevailing operating conditions and travel speeds. Traffic distribution patterns are indicated by general percentage orientation, while traffic assignment allocates specific volume forecasts to individual roadway links and intersection turning movements throughout the study area. 15 LINSCOTT:. LAW GREENSPAN ENGINEERS With the forecasting process complete and project traffic assignments developed, the impact of the project is isolated by comparing operational (LOS) conditions at selected key intersections using expected future traffic volumes with and without forecast project traffic. The need for site-specific and/or cumulative local area traffic improvements can then be evaluated. PROJECT TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS Project Traffic Generation Traffic generation is expressed in vehicle hip ends, defined as one-way vehicular movements, either entering or exiting the generating land use. Generation factors and equations used in the traffic forecasting procedure are found in the Fifth Edition of Trip Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (nh) [Washington, D.C.,1991 and February 1995 update). Table 3 summarizes the trip generation rates used in forecasting the impact of the proposed 20 unit residential condominium project. Trips generated by the proposed project were estimated using ITE Land Use 230 (Residential Condominium) equations/rates. Review of Table 3 shows that the proposed 20 unit residential condominium complex will generate 166 daily trips, with 14 trips (2 inbound, 12 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 17 tiips (11 inbound, 6 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour. To reflect housing conditions in Hermosa Beach and account for a greater number of occupants per dwelling unit, the above trips were increased by 20%. With this adjustment, the proposed Hermosa Townhouse Development project can be expected to generate 200 trips on a daily basis, an AM peak hour total of 16 hips (2 inbound, 14 outbound) and a PM peak hour total of 20 tiips (13 inbound, 7 outbound). Given the results of the project hip generation forecast, it can be concluded that the 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development project will not have a significant impact on the operating conditions of the roadway network in the study area. Nevertheless, a detailed intersection capacity analysis study has been completed for the three study intersections at the direction of the City staff. The traffic impact methodology and level of service analyses are described in detail later in this report. Project Traffic Distribution and Assignment Project traffic volumes in and out of the site have been distributed and assigned to the adjacent street system based upon the following considerations: 1) the site's proximity to major traffic carriers; 2) expected localized traffic flow patterns based on adjacent street channelization and presence of traffic signals; 3) ingress/egess availability at the project site driveway on 6th Street and 7th Street; 4) existing peak hour turning movement volumes; and 5) turn restrictions on PCH. 16 LINSCOTT; LAW & GREENSPAN ENGINEERS TABLE 3 PROJECT TRAFFIC GENERATION FORECAST Hermosa Townhouse Development Hermosa Beach, CA Generation Factors: • 230: Residential Condominium (TE/DU)3 8.29 44. 0.12 0.60 0.72 0.55 'EAK 1 ......_... _......_. 0.28 0.83 Generation Forecast: • Hermosa Townhouse (20 DU) 166 2 12 14 11 6 17 plus 20% for density adjustment: 34 0 2 2 2 1 3 Total Trips After Adjustment: 200 2 14 16 13 7 20 TE/DU = Trip ends per dwelling unit (residential).

GREENSPAN ENGINEERS The general directional traffic distribution pattern for the proposed project is presented in Exhibit 8. Exhibits 9, 10 and 11 display the added AM peak hour, PM peak hour, and daily traffic volumes for the proposed 20 unit residential condominium complex on adjacent roadways and key intersections. Also shown are the added AM peak hour, PM peak hour, and daily project traffic volumes on 7th Street if secondary access to the site is provided on this local residential street. We estimate that approximately 28 percent of site traffic will utilize the 7th Street project access if it is constructed. This equates to additional 55 trips on a daily basis, 5 trips during the AM Peak, and 7 trips during the PM peak hour. LEARNED LUMBER TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS At the direction of City staff, existing driveway traffic counts were conducted at Learned Lumber on a "typical" weekday during the store's hours of operation. Learned Lumber is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM. The results of our hip generation surveys indicated that Learned Lumber generated approximately 867 vehicle "daily" trips (419 inbound, 448 outbound) between.. 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM (11 hour time frame). Learned Lumber generated a total of 79 trips (44 inbound, 35 outbound) during the AM peak commute hour, and a total of 75 trips (25 inbound, 50 outbound) during the PM peak commute hour. Appendix C contains the driveway count data for Learned Lumber and information on the lumber yard. Exhibit 12 illustrates Learned Lumber existing driveway traffic volumes. A review of this exhibit indicates that approximately 95% of the "daily" traffic generated by Learned Lumber currently uses the driveway on 6th Street, while only 5% utilizes the driveway on PCH. Further review of Exhibit 12 shows that approximately 25% (105 vehicles) of the "daily" traffic now approaches Learned Lumber from the west via an eastbound left -turn on 6th, while approximately 50% (219 vehicles) of site traffic currently utilize 6th Street to exit via a southbound right -turn. Exhibit 13 illustrates the anticipated driveway volumes of Learned Lumber with implementation of the proposed access design. As illustrated in Exhibit 3, the revised lumber yard site plan provides for a major access from Pacific Coast Highway, approximately 225 north of 6th Street, and two smaller driveways on 6th Street, one for access, and the other for "left -turn only" egress. The main driveway on PCH provides direct access to the customer parking area, which was relocated from 6th Street, the lumber racks, and the retail building. Employee parking is designated in the parking area, south of the lumber racks, along 6th Street. Review of Exhibit 13 shows that approximately 65 percent of all entering traffic and 80 percent of all exiting traffic generated by Learned Lumber is projected to utilize the new major access driveway on PCH. 18 .� 1111 .

Hence, horizon year background traffic growth estimates have been calculated using only ambient growth factors. The ambient traffic growth factor is intended to include unknown and future related projects in the study area, as well as account for regular growth in traffic volumes due to development of projects outside the study area. Similar to prior traffic analyses prepared for projects in the City of Hermosa Beach, future growth in the traffic volumes at the study intersections has been calculated at one percent (1.0%) per year. Applied to existing 1997 traffic volumes results in a 3 percent growth in existing volumes at the three key intersections to horizon year 2000. Exhibits 14 and 15 present future AM and PM peak hour background traffic volumes at the three key intersections for the Year 2000. Please note that forecast traffic volumes illustrated in Exhibits 13 and 14 represent anticipated Year 2000 conditions with Learned Lumber traffic redistributed based on the site's proposed access design configuration illustrated in Exhibit 3.

GREENSPAN ENGINEERS TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Impact Criteria and Thresholds The relative impact of the added project traffic volumes generated by the 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development project during the AM and PM peak hours was evaluated based on analysis of future operating conditions at the three key study intersections, without, then with, the proposed project. The previously -discussed capacity analysis procedures were utilized to investigate the future volume -to -capacity relationships and service level characteristics at each study intersection. The significance of the potential impacts of the project at each key intersection was then evaluated using the criteria employed in the City's Downtown Circulation Study. Project impact is considered significant when the below criteria are observed to take place: Final ICU LOS Project -Related Increase in ICU 0.81 - 0.90 D equal to or greater than 0.02 > 0.90 E or F equal to or greater than 0.01 As indicated above, the project -related increase in v/c ratio (ICU) for the study intersections which defines significant impact varies with LOS. At LOS D (the point which traffic congestion begins to occur), the threshold of significance is an increase of 0.02 or more in ICU. This is reduced to 0.01 under LOS E/F (conditions which represent greater congestion). Traffic Impact Analysis Scenarios The following scenarios are those for which LOS calculations have been performed: 1) 1997: Existing Traffic Conditions 2) 2000: Future Background (Existing plus Growth to 2000 at 1 per year) 3) 2000: Future Background with 20 Unit Hermosa Townhouse Project (100% occupancy) 4) Scenario (3) with Mitigation, if necessary PEAK HOUR INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS Table 4 summarizes the peak hour Level of Service results at the three study intersections for the 2000 horizon year. The fust column (1) of ICU/LOS values in Table 4 presents a summary of existing AM/PM peak hour traffic conditions (which were also presented in Table 2). The second column (2) lists future Year 2000 background traffic conditions (ambient plus cumulative traffic) based on existing intersection geometry, but without any traffic generated from the proposed project. 30 LINSCOTT •: LAW &:` GREENSPAN ENGINEERS TABLE 4 2000 PEAK HOUR INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS Hermosa Townhouse Development, Hermosa Beach, CA IfE;:[ UI Pacific Coast Highway @ 5th Street AM PM 0.814 0.789 D C 0.857 0.831 D D 0.857 0.831 D D .000 .000 N N Pacific Coast Highway @ 6th Street AM PM 0.779 0.753 C C 0.821 0.794 D C 0.821 0.796 D C .000 .002 N N Pacific Coast Highway @ 8th Street AM PM 0.915 0.844 E D 0.960 0.882 E D 0.960 0.887 E D .001 .005 N N Bold ICU/LOS values indicate adverse service levels based on City LOS standards. 4 s Represents forecast operating conditions with the addition of ambient traffic (calculated @ 1.0% per year) and redistributed traffic of Learned Lumber based on new access/egress design.

The fourth column (4) shows the increase in ICU value due to the added peak hour project tiips and indicates whether the traffic associated with the project will have a significant impact based on significance criteria stated above: 1997 Existing Conditions As previously presented in Table 2, review of this table indicates that only one of the three study intersections operates at an adverse service level based on the City's LOS standards. The intersection of Pacific Coast Highway at 8th Street currently operates at LOS E during the morning peak commute hour. 2000 Future Background Traffic Conditions An analysis of future (2000) background traffic conditions indicates that ambient traffic growth will adversely impact the AM and/or PM peak hour Levels of Service of all three study intersections when compared to the significant impact criteria stated above. However, only the intersection of PCH @ 8th is forecast to operate at an adverse service level. The intersections of PCH @ 5th and PCH @ 6th are forecast to operate at LOS C or D better during the AM and PM peak commute hour. Hermosa Townhouse Development Project Traffic Review of Columns 3 and 4 of Table 4 shows that traffic associated with the proposed residential condominium project will not have a significant impact at any of the three study intersections, when compared to the City of Hermosa Beach LOS standards and significant traffic impact criteria employed in this study. The project is expected to add 0.5% or less to the ICU values of the three study intersections. PROJECT-SPECll+'1C IMPROVEMENTS The results of the intersection capacity analyses indicate that the proposed 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development project is not expected to have a significant impact at any of the three key intersections. Therefore, no specific mitigation measures at the three study intersections are required of this project. 32 tl LINSCOTT`� LAW &;--:=; GREENSPAN ENGINIEERS 6TH STREET AND 7TH STREET RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC IMPACTS The potential project traffic impacts to the residential neighborhood located along 6th Street and 7th Street was evaluated. The City of Hermosa Beach does not have officially established significance criteria for neighborhood traffic intrusion impacts. Hence, for the purposes of this report, the eiiteria used in the City of Los Angeles was utilized. The City of Los. Angeles criteria is as follows: C STH E RAFFIC 1,000 or more 12 percent or more of final ADT 2,000 or more 10 percent or more of final ADT 3,000 or more 8 percent or more of final ADT As mentioned earlier, daily traffic on 6th Street, west of Pacific Coast Highway, totals approximately 1,635 vehicles per day (vpd). Year 2000 ambient traffic increases the existing ADT by 3 percent to 1,684 vpd. Review of Exhibit 8 indicates that the project ADT traffic volumes on 6th Street, west of PCH, will total 95 trips per day, and 105 hips per day east of Ardmore if no access to the site is provided at 7th Street. The Year 2000 final ADT for these two locations on 6th Street total of 1,779 vpd west of PCH, and 1789 vpd east of Ardmore. The project traffic increment on these two sections of 6th Street totals roughly 5% and 6% of the total ADT forecast. Forecast Year 2000 with project ADT volumes on 7th Street, if project access were provided, total 578 vehicles per day. The Hermosa Townhouse Development project traffic increment on 7th totals 9.5% of projected year 2000 ADT forecast. Given forecast volumes are less than 1000 vpd, the project increment is considered less than significant. Hence, based on the criteria referenced above, the Hermosa Townhouse Development project is not expected to have a significant traffic intrusion impact on the 6th Street and 7th Street residential neighborhoods. 1925TIA.DOC (October 22, 1997) 33 APPENDICES LINSCOTT.

Richards, Watson & Gershon 333 S. Hope Street 38th Floor Los Angeles, California 90071-1469 Re: Our Client: Anastasi Development Corporation Hermosa Beach City Council consideration of Proposed Learned Lumber/Xenos Raspe Property Dear Mr. Jenkins: This is written to ask that you reconsider the issue of Councilman Reviczky's potential conflict on the general plan and zone change amendment scheduled for hearing on Thursday, November 13, 1997. It is our client's position that Mr. Reviczky has. no conflict under the authorities controlling that issue. Please consider the following: 1) Government Code Section 87100 states the general rule relating to conflicts of public officials, when they have a financial interest in the outcome of a decision. As you correctly pointed out the succeeding sections and the Code of Regulations provide the definitions and rules for determining whether conflicts exist. Under Government Code §87103, an official has a financial interest in a decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the official or his real property. While there are several elements required for a finding under 87103 (including reasonable foreseeability) the major issue for us turns first on "materiality" and once that is determined on the effect on the "public generally." To help understand these, we turn to the California Code of Regulations. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Michael Jenkins, Esq. November 13, 1997 Page 2 2 CCR 518702.3 (a) (1) states that a decision has a "material effect on the official's property if his property is located within a 300 foot radius of the boundaries of the project unless the decision will have no financial effect upon his property. Thus, it appears that without a showing of no financial effect, the "materiality" element is presumed. end. However, once materiality is presumed, the analysis does not 2 CCR 518702(c) states: "(c) Public Generally Exception. Notwithstanding any determination that the reasonably foreseeable effect of a decision is material under this regulation or under Sections 18702.1 through 18702.6, an official is not disqualified from participation in a governmental decision if the decision affects the official's interest in a manner which is not distinguishable from the manner in which the decision will affect the public generally as set forth in Section 18703." (emphasis added) 2 CCR 518703 defines "Effect on the Public Generally." The portions applicable to the project being considered are that the effect of a governmental decision on a public official's economic interests is indistinguishable from its effect on the public generally if: (1) The governmental decision will affect a "significant segment" of the public generally as set forth below. (a) 10% or more of the population in the jurisdiction of the official's agency or the district he represents, or (b) 10% or more of all property owners in the district he represents, or (c) The decision will affect 5000 individuals who are residents of the jurisdiction; (d) or other significant segment; and Michael Jenkins, Esq. November 13, 1997 Page 3 (2) The decision will affect the official's economic interest in substantially the same manner as it will affect the "significant segment" defined above. Thus, while the 300 foot rule does create a rebuttable presumption of materiality, if the effect of the decision on the public generally as defined above is substantially the same as the effect on the public official, there is no conflict. I attach a letter, which I hereby incorporate herein, from Dan Ericson, a real estate broker with twenty years experience in his field in the Beach Cities and the South Bay. Clearly it is speculation that Anastasi's proposed development will have any financial effect on Mr. Reviczky's property. If it won't then the element of "materiality" doesn't exist and there is clearly no conflict. If we assume a financial effect then the materiality element exists. However, as you can see from Mr. Ericson's attached letter, the affect on Mr. Reviczky's property will be substantially the same for virtually every property. West of Pacific Coast Highway. With this evidence it appears clear that there is no conflict because if there is an effect on Mr. Reviczky's property, the same effect will exist for all other property owners. 2) Even if a conflict were to exist we believe the 'rule of necessity would require that Mr. Reviczky vote. Government Code §87101 states that the conflict rules of §87100 will not prevent an official from making or participating in a governmental decision if his participation is legally required for the action or decision to be made. The Hermosa Municipal Code requires three votes to "accept; reject or modify" a planning commission recommendation regarding zoning. Thus if you don't have three votes agreeing on one side, the city can't act. The whole purpose of the rule of necessity is to prevent a result where the city can't act. It is Hermosa's code that creates the necessity. Without Mr. Reviczky's vote, the City Council would be powerless to act if a unanimous vote by the sitting members was not obtained. We respectfully request that you review the above issues and that you rule that Mr. Reviczky can vote on Thursday. Without this, we all find ourselves in the position where the vast majority of the people in the City approve the master proposal, the planning Michael Jenkins, Esq. November 13, 1997 Page 4 commission and staff approve it and, because of conflicts, a single contrary vote can prevent what the majority desires because there is the possibility that there would not be a unanimous vote. We will be delivering a copy of this letter to each City Council member and we hereby request that this letter and its attachment be made a part of the public record for the Thursday hearing. Please call me to discuss this further if you wish and please permit Mr. Reviczky to vote. Very truly yours,. MOSKO/ TZ, W 'i D & NYZ ,j , LLP . Darryl. JDN/mlb cc: City Council Members: J.R.

I would advise that the project would have an effect on all property values within the market area which certainly extends beyond the 300 foot area for noticing. Traditionally, appraisers, Realtors, and lenders have considered. the Hermosa Valley area as one contiguous market area, extending from Herondo on the south to Pier Ave. and beyond to the north, and Cypress towards the west. When providing comparables for appraisers and lenders in this market area or providing market valuations for property owners, Realtors will focus on the type of property, i.e.. single family, duplex, or townhome, and exclude properties east of Pacific Coast Highway for the analysis. As a Broker for the past 20 years and past Greater South Bay BOR President, I can state without reservation, that this is the Standard of practice for almost all Real Estate professionals including appraisers and lenders. If I can be of further assistance please call.

Reviczky, Mayor Members of the City Council City of Hermosa Beach Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885 Dear Mr. Reviczky and members of the City Council: At your meeting of November 13, 1997 you are being asked to approve 1. a General Plan Amendment and to approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding the General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, CUP, Precise Development Plan, Tract Map, Lot line adjustment for Anastasi Construction. 2.You are being asked to approve the Planning Commission recommendation regarding the Precise Development Plan for Learned Lumber. Two separate items, but linked together in the sense that if one is not approved the other cannot move forward. 1. Anastasi Construction While Learned Lumber completely supports the application of Anastasi Construction, we want to stress that we are in no way connected to the condominium development. Some members of the Learned family will be selling property in this transaction, but we are not a participant in their project. My point is this; Learned Lumber and/or the Learned Family has no interest in these approvals other than we think they make sense for the city of Hermosa Beach. You get to replace a sleazy motel with quality mixed commercial and residential development. Learned Lumber will not benefit financially from this transaction and in fact will have to spend a significant amount of money for improvements at the motel site. But we still think the plan makes sense, both from the businessman's point of view and from the resident's point of view. The condominiums will create a barrier between the commercial property and the rest of the R-2 residential neighborhood. Plus rerouting the commercial traffic to PCH will be a benefit to both Sixth and Seventh Streets. Some members of the community have argued about the need for a deeper Commercial element along the highway. This has been an ongoing discussion in the city. It certainly was when I was on the Planning Commission in the early seventies, and it has continued to roil through the SPA -2 and SPA -7 enactments. The SPA -2, if you recall was a mixed use overlay zone, while the SPA -7 has been interpreted by staff as solely a commercial zone. The truth is, however, that nowhere south of Pier Avenue is the commercial corridor depth over 165' for more than one or two blocks. The average commercial depth (on the westside) from Herondo to Pier Avenue is probably less than 165'. On the eastside the commercial depth averages closer to 110'. We may wish for a deeper commercial depth, but the fact is, no one is willing to invest in it. NOV-07-97 FRI 11:25 AM Michael Learned 310 374 1240 P-03 Other arguments claim that Commercial sales tax and business license revenues are roughly twice that of residential property tax revenues. This may be true of the four or five top selling businesses in town, which would probably be the Grocery Stores, Vasek Polak and Learned Lumber, but I doubt very strongly that most commercial ventures in this city contribute twice as much to the city coffers as do residents. And of course, residents live here and spend their money here! Historically, the majority of the parcels subject to the General Plan Amendment, were previously zoned residential. ALL of the parcels on Sixth Street were zoned R-2 up until about 1985 when they became SPA -2 (the mixed use overlay zone) and most of the motel was zoned residential up until about 1955. In fact there Is a two -unit apartment building an the front half of the motel site, and four or five apartments on PCHI 2. Learned Lumber As you know, Learned Lumber has been a member of the business community for a long time. In fact November 13, 1997 marks the 50th anniversary of our incorporation, and 1924 was the year my grandfather founded the company. 1 suspect we are probably one of the oldest continually operated companies in Hermosa. And we account for about 5% of the sales tax revenue generated in the city. What we are asking for in our Precise Development Plan is to maintain what we currently have, i.e. lot line to lot line storage, movable racks, forklifts, saws and trucks; all of the things that make a lumberyard go. The Precise Development Plan as recommended by the Planning Commission basically allows us to do what we have been doing for the last 70 years with the following conditions to mitigate traffic and noise: • Employee parking only entrance into our Sixth Street parking lot. • Left turn only exiting our Sixth Street lot (forcing commercial and employee traffic to exit onto PCH) • Restricted hours of operation. 6A.M.-7P.M. Monday —Friday 7A.M.-6P.M. Saturday 9A.M.-3P.M. Sunday Since we currently have no restrictions on our hours of operation, we would only request that the last condition be the same as other Targe delivery based businesses in the city. For instance, according to city records, the hours of operation for Vons are 6A.M.- Midnight, with no restriction on hours of delivery; Ralph's is 24 hours and Vasek Polak is 8A.M. to 10P.M., but I know for a fact that Vasek's service department is open at 7A.M. Conclusion We have spent years working on ways to acquire the frontage from the motel property. Once we presented this joint plan to your Planning Commission and staff, they studied the issues in detail, held public hearings and concluded that this project represents a positive direction for the city. It is for these reasons that we strongly urge you to support the Planning Commission recommendations and approve these projects. Yours, Michael Learned Learned Lumber HERMOSA BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE November 14, 1997 Mayor Sam Edgerton and Members of the City Council City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Re: Proposed. Learned Lumber/Anastasi Project on Pacific Coast Highway Dear Mayor Edgertonand Members of the City Council: A unique opportunity to improve our community awaits your approval. The project proposed by the Learned. Family and Anasrasi Construction offers several significant improvements to our community that need to be emphasized_ 1) Expansion of Learned Lumber's retail space along Pacific Coast Highway frontage will result in increased sales tax revenue to the City.. Learned Lumber is consistently among the top ten sales tax producers in the City. 2) The expansion along Pacific Coast Highway will be a significant and much-needed aesthetic improvement to the City_ • The Mar Vista Motel property has been a visual and financial disgrace to our city far too long. This project will retain the commercial base of our community while fulfilling our need for aesthetic improvements along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor. 3) Design of the Anastasi project will create an essential buffer between the highly commercial corridor of Pacific Coast Highway and the less intensive residential use west of PCH. In- recent weeks there has been considerable discussion about the importance of improvements to and development of commercial enterprise on Pacific Coast Highway and the Aviation Blvd. corridor. Approval of the proposed project will provide the Council with an opportunity to affirm their previously stated commitments to economic expansion and improvement on Pacific Coast Highway. Approval of the project will communicate once again that elected officials in Hermosa Beach want to continue to work wirh the private sector to improve our commercial base. We urge you to support this project and accept the dividends it will bring for the future. sincerely, •,_ I, f=1_1% CL,64(_4,c>. j alhet4- Rick Hankus.Carol K.

Dear Mr. Anastasi: The following is a response package to address the comments of Ken Robertson, City of Hermosa Beach Community Development Department, on the Traffic Impact Study for the 20 Unit Hermosa Townhouse Development, dated October 22, 1997. The comments were conveyed via our telephone conversation on November 5, 1997. Comment 1) The proposed entry/exit design to Learned Lumber on 6th Street will be limited to employee usage only. Access and egress movements at the proposed Learned Lumber driveways on 6th will be restricted to westbound right -turns and eastbound left -turns. Access to Learned Lumber for customers will be limited to the proposed site driveway on Pacific Coast Highway. Exhibit 13 on page 24 of the Traffic Impact Study for the 20 Unit Hermosa Townhouse Development shows that customers/employees of Learned Lumber are forecast to access Learned Lumber via an eastbound left -turn on 6th Street. Response 1) Exhibit 13, attached at the end of this letter, has been revised to address the access/egress restrictions will be imposed by the City as expressed by Mr. Robertson. Exhibit 13 now illustrates the anticipated turning movement volumes with access and egress movements at the proposed Learned Lumber driveways on 6th restricted to westbound right -turns and eastbound left -turns, and employee usage only. Exhibit 12 illustrates the existing driveway volumes to Learned Lumber, and has been provided for comparison purposes. Philip M. Linscott, P.E. (Ret.) SUPPLEMENTAL Jack M. Greenspan, P.E. William A.

As shown in Table 4 (revised), the 20 unit Hermosa Townhouse Development will not have a significant impact at either of the three study intersections on Pacific Coast Highway (see columns 2 and 3 of Table 4). To ensure access to Learned Lumber on 6th Street is limited to employees, we recommend that the access driveway be signed for "Employee Access/Parking Only" and supplemented with a "Customer Access/Parking off Pacific Coast Highway" sign. These signs will place a greater emphasis on the Pacific Coast Highway access as the primary entry/exit point for Learned Lumber customers and deemphasize the usage of 6th Street. As a result, traffic on 6th Street will be reduced. In addition, we recommend that the access configuration of the "employee" entry on 6th be redesigned to orient vehicles for westbound right -turns only. The design should be similar to the proposed egress configuration which limits vehicles/trucks exiting Learned Lumber to left -turns only. * * * * * * * * * * * * This completes our response package prepared to address comments from Ken Robertson.

I am asking that if the City Council is going to wave it's magic wand and allow the zoning change from commercial to residential that certain items are very much in order with regard to the finished product. I would like to summarize the meeting on Oct. 22nd with Julie Oakes and the residents of 6th and 7th Streets. We were all in agreement that the best solution to the traffic flow problems would be to close the top of 6th street and take the only access for the project from 6th street. Win, Win, Win. The people on 6th Street win, the people on 7th Street win and the developer wins because they would not have to incur the costs involved with sidewalk, curb and gutter on 7th Street. Everyone wins in the this arrangement. Making for a much improved neighborhood. If the City Council finds it necessary to take access from 7th Street. Please take a very hard look at the following items. Maybe these items can persuade you not to take access from 7th Street. Parking, Parking , Parking. This very real concern continues to get shoved to the side. If access is taken from 7th Street, the number of parking spaces on 7th Street would be less than HALF. There are 21 current parking spaces, only 9 spaces would remain. Access Gate at the top of 7th Street. The quote from City Staff is "Restricted access to the project from 7th Street". A quite gate with access code for residents only. Or what about Out -bound only traffic, a gate with electronic eye inside for the cars exiting the project. Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter on 7th Street. This is required by and City Staff. To make 7th Street safe and parking orderly. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 4 Traffic. This is the third traffic study and there still many incorrect numbers. How valid can any of these traffic study's,be?, Mr. Ed Ruzak, the Hermosa Beach City Traffic Engineef.citing his comments on the 7th Street access traffic as "not desirable". More Traffic. In the latest survey, The 7th Street numbers are incorrect on page #6, 7th Street is 300ft long 26ft wide and has only 37ft of right -of way. Also the (vpd) number is not correct 311 on page #6 and 411 on page #11. The study suggest that only 28% would take there access from 7th Street, but in exhibit 8 the number is 40%. This is unbelievable!!! If there are two entrances then this traffic would have to be equally divided. I do not see how it could be any other way. In exhibit 11 they only account for 105 of the 200 trips. On page A-7, In one 24 hour period of time how can you have only 94 trips east bound and 217 west bound on a dead end street. 123 cars left the street and never came back2?722 This proiect does not need an entrance, off of 7th Street if the right thing is done at the top of 6th Street!!! Thank you for allowing me to comment on this matter, Scott Fran z 642 7th street Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 l Novembe Honorab M4yor and Members of The Her osa'jBeach City Council Regular Meeting of November 13, 1997 SKATEBOARD TRACK LOCATION: COMMUNITY CENTER Recommendation It is recommended by staff that Council: 1. Direct Public Works staff to resurface the Kelly Tennis Courts. 2. Approve the attached conceptual plan to (a) build a 6,900 square foot skateboard track on the north side of Tennis Courts #5 & #6, (b) relocate courts #5 & #6 to be immediately east of Court #2, and (c) expand parking to the south side of the skateboard track. 3. Direct the Skateboard Subcommittee to work with skateboarders and volunteers to initiate a design program for the track. Bach: At the,October 16 meeting, Council directe&;-' I .-develop a plan to place the Skateboard Track on Tennis Court #5 at the Community Center and to replace Court #5 • somewhere else on the property. Analysis Staff conducted a thorough analysis of alternatives for this site, keeping mindful of the following considerations: (a) the requirement to replace the parking spaces lost by each alternative, and (b) that tennis courts should be built north to south due to sun conditions. With the recommended alternative (Alternative Z), the existing parking lot area between the tennis courts would be expanded to pick-up the spaces lost due to the relocation of the tennis courts (with a total net gain of 7 spaces). Furthermore, this alternative would separate tennis court play from the skateboard track, which addresses noise impact concerns between the two recreational activities. Staff investigated Council's recommendation to use Tennis Court #5 for the skate track (with a replacement of one court somewhere in the Community Center) but determined that this alternative would not address the replacement of parking adequately and would also be disruptive to tennis court play. The grid below outlines criteria that staff used in selecting the recommended alternative. 1 5 Skate Track Size ❑ 6,900 square feet. o Bigger than alternatives A -C previously recommended. Estimated Cost o $ 241,260 ❑ More expensive than alternatives A -C Construction/Parking issues o Requires use of dirt lot for new tennis court. ❑ Parking spaces lost with the re -location of the courts will be replaced with a net increase of seven (7) spaces. Noise Impacts o Track will be located entirely on the Pier Avenue border of the property which will minimize noise impacts for the neighborhood and Community Center users. o Locating Courts #5 & #6 adjacent to Court #2 will be optimum for tennis play. ❑ Minor noise impacts will be added on 11' Street from the additional courts. Safety Issues o Entrance to the track will be on the Pier Avenue side, reducing conflict with parked cars. o City Liability is removed due to AB 1296 ❑ Rules will be posted. Implementation o The project should be preceded by the re -surfacing of the Kelly Courts. This will provide two instructional courts for recreation programs and free play during the construction period. Other issues o This alternative would enable the City to create a more cohesive tennis center. Landscaping elements and a seating area can be added to improve the recreation facility: ❑ Courts #5 & #6 are older than Courts #1-lt1. Replacing them with newly constructed courts would upgrade the condition of the courts considerably. The Community Center Tennis Courts are popular recreation facilities. In addition to their constant use by recreational players, the courts are the focal point for private and group tennis lessons. In order to accommodate these needs, staff recommends that prior to the construction period, the Kelly Courts (located adjacent to Clark Field) be resurfaced so that they can be used for lessons, clinics and free play (these courts are currently being used but are in very poor condition). 2 Fiscal Impact Attachment B contains preliminary cost estimates for the track construction and tennis court replacement. One of the most variable costs in this estimate is the allocation for skateboard track construction which will be dependent upon the type of program the subcommittee develops. Based solely on tracks that have been constructed in other cities, staff has estimated a $50,000 cost for rink construction. It is important to note that some interest has been expressed by community members in donating services and/or materials for this project. In addition, there are two grant sources that may be available to help fund the track construction that staff will explore once a location is approved. These estimates do not account for those possibilities, as they are not confirmed or quantifiable. The total project estimate of $241,260 is considerably higher than alternatives recommended at the previous meeting, however, when the long useful life of facilities like tennis courts are considered, the amortization of these costs may be considered to be favorable. Other alternatives available to Council include: 1. Request additional information. 2. Select an alternative from the previous agenda item (Attachment C). 3. Receive and File.

Select a site at the Community Center for the skateboard track from the three (3) alternatives identified below; and 2. Direct staff to return with cost estimates and a feasibility plan for the selected site. Background At the. September 23, 1997 meeting, Council rejected the concept to build a skateboard track at South Park. Staffwas directed to study the Community Center to identify a potential location(s) for the track. Analysis In examining the Community Center facility open space areas, staff has identified three (3) potential sites for the track: (a) on the concrete pad south of the gymnasium, north of 11th Place, where the old blue garage is; (b) on the unused dirt lot located just west of the Alano Club; and - (c) on the Parking Lot just south of Tennis Courts #5 and #6, east of Ardmore. Conceptual sketches are provided for each location for the purpose of discussion and conceptual approval (Attachments A, B, and C). In order to frame this discussion, staff identified some criteria for the purpose of evaluating the impact of each of these locales and has ranked each alternative in"order of preference (1-3). Council may wish to discuss other relevant issues with regards to each site and/or may choose to weigh criteria differently than staff did in terms of their importance: 1 4 ALTERNATIVE #1 OLD GARAGE AREA ALTERNATIVE #2 DIRT LOT ALTERNATIVE #3 1 NORTH PARKING LOT Track size 2,400 square feet 4,725 square feet 3,600 square feet Construction Issues Easiest to build. Requires removal of old garage, wall construction and landscape buffer between rink wall and South Wing classrooms. Requires retaining walls and large _ landscape buffer between rink and residential area and rink and Alano Club. Requires rink construction and new parking lot construction on the dirt lot to replace spaces lost with rink construction. Cost • Least expensive Median cost Most expensive Areas of noise impact - • 2 South Wing Classrooms • Alano Club • Gymnasium users • Civic Theatre users • Residents on 10th Street • Alano Club • Tennis Courts #1-4 • Civic Theatre users • Tennis Courts #1. 2 • Valley Drive (echo) Safety/Security Issues Requires access via Parking Lot but is removed from parking area. Staff can visit frequently. South Wing tenants and Alano Club can notify City of problems. Could be lit for nighttime use easily. Could be designed with a lock-up feature at 10 PM to close with Tennis Courts. Requires access via Parking Lot but is removed from parking area. Staff can visit frequently. South Wing tenants and Alano Club can notify City of problems. Lighting in the area is poor. Could be designed with a lock- up feature at 10 PM to close with Tennis Courts. Requires access via the Parking Lot and is at the same level as the Lot. . Best visibility for Community Center staff. Could be lit for nighttime use easily. Could be designed with a lock-up feature at 10 PM to close with Tennis Courts. Other Issues Public Works may need to relocate some equipment currently stored in the old garage. Removing the old shed would be an aesthetic improvement for the Community Center as it is currently in poor condition. Landscaping the dirt lot area would be a great aesthetic improvement for the Community Center as it is currently a visual blight. _ The addition of the dirt lot area for parking will provide the City with an estimated net increase of 13 Parking Spaces and would remove the current visual blight Once Council has identified a suitable location for the rink, staff will: (a) return with cost estimates for the selected alternative; (b) provide notification to affected tenants and/or residents as requested by Council; and (c) develop an implementation plan for the rink as directed by the subcommittee. Other alternatives available to Council include: 1. Identify an alternative location for the track. 2. Request additional information. 3. Receive and File.

Burrell, City Manager City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Mr. Burrell: RECEIVED NOV 1 21997 CITY MGR. OFFICE I am opposed to the skateboard park that the City of Hermosa Beach is proposing to build. 1 have relied upon information provided in Mary Rooney's letter to Jaquelynn Pope of November 4, 1997 to address my concerns. The skateboard park should not be built in Hermosa Beach for the following reasons: 1. City liability and funds. The City of Hermosa Beach claims "The City is fully protected from liability associated with the skateboarding due to the recent passage of AB1296 which protects cities from any and all claims due to the skateboard injuries." My interpretation and that of lawyers I have spoken to is that AB1296 provides that cities may get sued if they do not properly maintain their property and that children under the age of 14 are not stopped from bringing suit. Has the City Attorney reviewed AB1296 (copy attached)? Funds are required to defend lawsuits whether there are legitimate or not. You have stated that you think a lot of these lawsuits will be settled by summary judgment. You have failed to recognize that receiving favorable summary judgment verdicts may cost the City between $10,000 to $20,000. The City is not prepared to fund this defense. Why has Redondo Beach decided not to get involved with the project? Has Manhattan Beach expressed an interest? I believe the answers are obvious: They are both aware of all of the problems associated with a skateboarding park and have decided against it. 2. Safety for our children. The proposed skateboarding park does not provide for any supervision of our kids. Skateboarding itself, as defined by the State of California, is a "hazardous recreational activity." Without supervision, the majority of children will not wear safety gear. Some residents of Hermosa Beach have been misled to believe that because the City will provide a skateboarding park, they will also provide the required supervision necessary for a safe park. Without supervision, use of the facility by children under 14 will expose the City to liability. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 3 The City of Hermosa Beach is relying on a safety report used by the City of Huntington Beach. Without knowing how the figures were arrived at, the scale of 10 - 2,516 does not have any credibility. 3. Upkeep of the proposed skateboarding park. As with any City facility, maintenance must be of the highest regard. The skateboarding park must be impeccably maintained to ensure safe skateboarding for our children. Based on the neglected City facilities, e.g., the tennis courts, basketball courts, Community Center, Hermosa Valley Park, it would appear that once built it will fall into a neglectful state as have the other facilities. This will again expose the City to enormous liability without protection under AB 1296. The Community Center tennis courts have been revenue-producing facilities for the City. Despite this, these funds have not been used for the courts' upkeep.. Courts 5 and 6 and the Kelly Courts need resurfacing. 4. Non -revenue producing facilities bringing in more crime to the City. There have been many complaints by Hermosa residents about the increase in crime since the new Pier project and the adding of new restaurants and bars to Downtown Hermosa. Adding a public park will certainly have an influx of non -Hermosa juveniles, which will add to the ever-increasing gang problems the beach cities are experiencing. Although the proposed site, at the Community Center, is adjacent to the Police Department, it is hardly a guarantee that this activity will be kept in check. As with the Kiwanis Club stabbings, these problems are realities and cannot be ignored. 5. City funds. The City of Hermosa Beach is 1.3 square miles with a history of financial problems. We are not an industrial city which can support yet another City -sponsored non -revenue producing park. Why not use our funds wisely and do upkeep on the parks and recreational facilities, which we already have? As a mother of three, I would prefer to keep our kids safe by always providing an adequate number of school crossing guards and not dealing with the constant threat of crossing guard removal. I believe these funds should also come out of our tax -paying dollars rather than supporting another bond to finance this expense. This would benefit all Hermosa children. The roller hockey rink situated at Valley Park was built primarily for Hermosa youths who expressed a desire for such a rink. This rink is not heavily used. In fact, it appears vacant the majority of the time. This rink has just recently been resurfaced after being recently built approximately 2 years ago. It appears that the rink is a greater priority with the City than the restroom problem at Valley Park. 6. Costs. Under the proposed plan, the City would spend $241,260 to undertake the project of erecting a skateboarding park. As with any project, this figure will probably be higher than predicted. 7. Hermosa Business Owners in Von's Plaza. I have spoken to a number of the owners of businesses in Von's Plaza, e.g., Hermosa Beauty, Mailboxes, Etc., Club Sushi owner, etc., and they have expressed a concern over the proposed skateboarding park which will be located across from their businesses. It is their intention to attend the upcoming Council meeting on November 13. In summary, I am a concerned resident of Hermosa Beach. I would like to see our tax dollars used to maintain our current recreational facilities instead of venturing into building yet another recreational facility which will put our City at risk for lawsuits. I would appreciate a legal analysis of AB1296, a copy of the Huntington Beach report, which was used for the severity index study and information how to properly interpret it, information as to what is being done to correct the Valley Park restroom problem and, lastly, what the City has done to prevent future Kiwanis Club problems. I look forward to a response to my correspondence and also to speaking to the Council on November 13.

Certain activities are specifically designated as HRAs. These include: a) animal riding; b) bicycle racing or jumping; c) mountain bicycling; d) off-road motorcycling or four-wheel driving of any kind; e) motorized vehicle racing; f) tree climbing; g) surfing; and h) diving from places other than a diving board. 3) Provides that the immunity from liability to persons participating in an HRP, does not limit liability in a number of specified situations, including where the injury is caused by the public entity's or employee's negligent failure to properly construct or maintain any structure, recreational equipment or machinery utilized in the I?RA. AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill revised the list of HRAs to include skateboarding. F SCAL EFFECT : None COMMENTS : The many public entities arid skateboard enthusiasts who support this bill argue that the risks inherent in skateboarding are similar to the risks inherent in the other. HRAs for which public entities and employees have a qualified immunity from liability. Specifically, they argue that skateboarding poses risks similar to those posed by mountain biking, horseback riding, surfing and tree Climbing. Manufacturers of skateboard equipment and skateboarders support this bill because they believe it will encourage public agencies to build. skateboard parks. Many public agencies would like to build skateboard parks as a means of confining skateboarding activities to the park and discouraging or prohibiting • skateboarding in areas where it can conflict with pedestrian and vehicular uses.

These include: a) animal riding; b) bicycle racing or jumping; c) mountain bicycling; d) off-road motorcycling or four-wheel driving of any kind; e) motorized vehicle racing; f) tree climbing; g) surfing; and h) diving from places other than a diving board. 3) Provides that the immunity from liability to persons participating in an HRA does not limit liability in a number of specified situations, including where the injury is caused by the public entity's or employee's negligent failure to properly construct or maintain any structure, recreational equipment or machinery utilized in the HRA. AS PAssg? BY THE ASSEN$LY , this bill revised the list of HRAs to include skateboarding. FISCAL EFFECT None COMMENTS The many public entities and skateboard enthusiasts who support this bill argue that the risks inherent in skateboarding are similar to the risks inherent in the other HRAs for which public entities and employees have a qualified immunity from liability. Specifically, they argue that skateboarding poses risks similar to those posed by mountain biking, horseback riding, surfing and tree climbing. Manufacturers of skateboard equipment and skateboarders support this bill because they believe it will encourage public agencies to build skateboard parks. Many public agencies would like to build skateboard parks as a means of confining skateboarding activities to the park and discouraging or prohibiting skateboarding in areas where it can conflict with pedestrian and vehicular uses. _Analysis prepared by Daniel A.
