Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
June 11, 2024 City Council approval of two new full-time positions of Special Events and Filming Coordinator and Lead Special Events and Filming Coordinator as part of the FY 2024–25 budget.

June 18, 2024 Hermosa Beach Civil Service Board approved the two new class specifications for Special Events and Filming
Coordinator and Lead Special Events and Filming
Coordinator.

Discussion:

The FY 2024–25 budget included the approval of two new full-time positions in the Community Resources Department, Special Events and Filming Coordinator and Lead Special Events and Filming Coordinator.

The City of Hermosa Beach is a highly sought-after destination for special events. The Community Resources Department is tasked with overseeing event requests and permits on public property. Currently, the Community Resources Manager and the Senior Recreation Supervisor manage the Special Events Permit Program in the Community Resources Department. The Senior Recreation Supervisor manages the Film/Still Photo Permit Program. Each year, staff receives an increasing number of applications for the Special Event Permit Program and the Film/Still Photo Permit Program as the City becomes a more popular destination for events and filming.

A three-month analysis of time spent on the Special Events Permit Program and Film/Still Photo Permit Program revealed that the Community Resources Manager and Senior Recreation Supervisor spend more time administering Special Event Permits, followed by Film/Still Photo Permits, above all other responsibilities, including department oversight.

The two new classifications, Special Events and Filming Coordinator and Lead Special Events and Filming Coordinator, would oversee the Special Event Permit Program and Film/Still Photo Permit Program. With the addition of the two new full-time positions, the Department anticipates flexibility in accommodating new event requests that are unique opportunities for the community and increased visitors. In addition, staff anticipates flexibility in accommodating additional Pier Plaza Promotions and reducing the 14-day review window for the Film/Still Photo Permit Program by at least half and modifying the policy to allow filming on weekends, which is currently not permitted within the policy.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY PROGRESS REPORT
(Community Development Director Carrie Tai)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Receive a staff presentation; and

2. Receive and file the Economic Development Strategy Progress Report #4 (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

The Economic Development Strategy was approved in 2022, with one of the action items being progress reports presented to the City Council biannually in January and July of each year. This is the fourth progress report on the Economic Development Strategy. The last update was presented to City Council at its February 27, 2024 meeting.

Background:

The Economic Development Strategy (Attachment 2) is the result of two years of collective efforts by the Economic Development Committee and the Stakeholders Advisory Working Group to identify Economic Development objectives and actions. For two years, the Economic Development Committee met monthly, and the 20-person Stakeholders Advisory Working Group met bimonthly, to explore and discuss Hermosa Beach business-related topics. An Economic and Market Study was also prepared to inform development of the Economic Development Strategy. At its July 12, 2022 meeting, City Council adopted the Economic Development Strategy.

The resulting Economic Development Strategy includes 30 strategic actions. They include proactive steps to enhance Hermosa Beach through beautification, strengthen the local economy, and provide an environment for the City’s business partners to succeed as they serve the community. The City Council approval included 10 priorities for implementation in the first year ending June 30, 2023.

The Economic Development Strategy is a long-term plan, with strategic actions divided into short-term (1st year), mid-term (2–3 years) or long-term (3+ years) implementation.

The actions are divided into five categories: Citywide Beautification; Downtown; Municipal Code Amendments; Business Outreach; and City Economic Development work program.

Page 83 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 23
The Economic Development Strategy is the work plan for implementation, beginning with the identified action priorities.

The Economic Development Strategy identified a multi-disciplinary complement of City Departments (City Manager’s Office, Community Development, Public Works, Community Resources, Police Department, and Human Resources), the Chamber of Commerce, and professional subject matter experts. Implementation work was anticipated to be completed by staff, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, and occasionally with contracted subject matter expert assistance.

The Economic Development Strategy also indicates that the prioritization and scope of the Strategic Actions do not consider staff capacity or competing workload demands. Staff ability to implement the strategy items is determined by available capacity. Staff capacity for the development of the Economic Development Strategy was, in part, made possible by the extended allowable hours of the Interim Senior Planner during the COVID-19 pandemic response. Once the COVID-19 emergency ended, the allowable hours returned to only accommodate daily workload such as long-range planning projects, customer service, and a limited business liaison role.

The Economic Development Strategy includes an action item for a City Council report twice annually to monitor progress, prioritize actions, and consider new opportunities. The report ensures City Council and the community are updated on Economic Development Strategy implementation and that priorities are identified each year.

At its February 27, 2024 meeting, City Council received Progress Report #3. Changing the prior format of providing updates by prioritization year, staff restructured the report so that all Economic Development Strategy items were listed, with their status. Staff identified that there is no funding or dedicated staff to implement programs, and that there is a substantial economic development benefit from existing City programs and projects.

City Council received and filed Progress Report #3.

Past City Council, Commission, and Economic Development Committee Actions Meeting Date Description
March 4, 2020 A joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission was held to discuss a vision for the Downtown District, among other topics. At that meeting, it was suggested that a
subcommittee be formed, comprised of two City
Councilmembers and two Planning Commissioners to focus on Economic Development.

April 28, 2020 City Council selected Councilmembers Campbell and Detoy to serve on the Downtown Economic Development Committee

Page 84 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 23
Meeting Date Description
with Planning Commission Chairperson Peter Hoffman and
Commissioner David Pedersen
June 1, 2020 Economic Development Committee held its first monthly meeting to begin work on short-term economic recovery goals and long-term Economic Development goals to benefit the Downtown and citywide business districts. At the first meeting, the Economic Development Committee determined that a
Stakeholders Advisory Group should be formed to represent a variety of businesses and commercial districts.

September 28, 2021 City Council received a One-Year Progress Report on the Economic Development Committee and Economic
Development Strategy initial actions approved.

May 2, 2022 Economic Development Committee held its final meeting, during which it approved the Economic Development Strategy.

July 12, 2022 City Council adopted Economic Development Strategy and First Year Implementation Priorities.

January 24, 2023 City Council received first progress report.

July 25, 2023 City Council received second progress report.

February 27, 2024 City Council received third progress report.

Discussion:

Staff evaluated all strategic action items of the Economic Development Strategy Report, as well as ongoing initiatives not identified in the Economic Development Strategy initially adopted in 2022. Staff observed numerous initiatives that further the City’s efforts in supporting the business community in improving the environment in which to do business.

The fourth progress report outlined below, and included as Attachment 1, incorporates all action items from the past two years and presents the entire Economic Development Strategy in a comprehensive way. This allows the community, City Council, and staff to focus on this effort in totality. The action items are presented in the following table in numerical order as identified in the Economic Development Strategy. The letter symbol (S, M, L) indicates whether the action item was to be initiated in the short-term (Year 1), mid-term (Year 2–3), or long-term (Year 3+). The table identifies prior actions and provides current updates. The table also identifies initiatives that do not currently have staff and funding resources.

Wayfinding
Signs
(CMO/PW)
Prior Action(s): In May of
2022, the City issued an
encroachment permit to the
HB Chamber of Commerce
and assisted in the installation
and replacement of 40
removable floor decals on City
sidewalks in the downtown
area. The decals contain a QR
code directing the public to the
Truly Hermosa website which
provides information regarding
restaurants, shops, hotels,
events, directional information,
parking and encourages
alternate transportation
options.

As part of the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP)
111, staff is working with a
designer on completing an
inventory of existing
wayfinding and gateway
signage and the preliminary
design of new signage and
recommended locations. As
part of this preliminary effort,
the designer will identify future
cost estimates for final design,
fabrication, and installation,
which will require additional
funding as part of a future CIP.

Both City "Walk Your Bike" sticker
decals (25) and the Chamber of
Commerce-provided "Shop Eat
Truly Hermosa" sticker decals
(16) on the sidewalk in the
downtown areas were replaced in
May and June 2024.

The adopted budget for Fiscal
Year 2024–25 identifies the next
phase of the project under the
Deferred and Unfunded Future
Project list and would need to be
considered for funding as part of
a future budget cycle; CIP 111 is

Prior Action(s): At its March
28, 2023 meeting, City Council
approved an agreement to
allow the Hermosa Beach
Chamber of Commerce to
manage an annual street pole
banner program. The seasonal
banners provide the desired
street view enhancements,
create a sense of pride and
City image on Pier Avenue and
Hermosa Avenue corridors.

Select banners feature and
publicize community events to
encourage tourism.

There is a planned City
gateway sign at the Skechers
project at Longfellow Avenue
and Pacific Coast Highway
(PCH) to identify the entrance
to Hermosa Beach from the
north on PCH. The sign will
feature the City’s new logo and
adhere to the branding and
style guidelines. The sign
design is expected to inform
the sign program along the
City’s major corridors from the
south and east.

Public Works worked on a
median project on Hermosa
Avenue coming in from the
South.

The street banner program
continues to be managed by the
Chamber of Commerce and
provides timely and aesthetically
pleasing event/community
information.

The planned City gateway sign at
the Skechers project at
Longfellow Avenue and PCH is
scheduled for installation in July
2024.

The installation of the permanent
ring lights on the palm trees also
included lights along the roof line
of the Community Center and
are in operation year-round.

Public Works is currently in
process of adding new drought
tolerant landscaping along the
center median of Gould Avenue
that will enhance that gateway
entrance to the City.

The Chamber of Commerce
conducted a site walk with local
businesses and provided
feedback for Pier Avenue
between Hermosa Avenue and
Manhattan Avenue. Public Works
will schedule a follow-up walk
with the Chamber to better
understand the requests.

quality of life and City image
and attract visitors.

In partnership with the City, the
South Bay Parkland

expand Hermosa Mariposa.

For Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the
City Council has directed a
“back to basics” approach with
regard to Capital Improvement
Programs, with the focus on
critical infrastructure, deferred
maintenance, and community
serving facilities such as the
Clark Building and park space.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary
of the Hermosa Skatepark, the
City completed a maintenance
and beautification project at the
facility including design and
installation of new signage

(CMO/CD)
The City adopted the
Downtown Core Revitalization
Strategy on February 24,
2015. This Strategy, prepared
by the ROMA Design Group,
details the conditions of the
Downtown Core while making
suggestions for improvement.

This document is relevant but
must be updated to reflect
changes in the downtown over
the past eight years, namely
the decrease in retail and
increased desire for housing.

There are currently no staffing
resources or funding to initiate
this update.

As part of the City’s Housing
Element, the City incorporated
zoning changes to allow for
inclusion of residential

commercial uses in
The City recently secured the
professional assistance of Lee
Andrews to conduct a 12-month
outreach phase of the Civic
Facilities discussion. PLAN
Hermosa, the City’s General
Plan, identified the civic center as
a catalyst for downtown
revitalization strategies.

Community support and interest
in Civic Center investment is a
means of downtown revitalization.

In reviewing the City’s Housing
Element-related zoning changes,
California Housing and
Community Development (HCD)
identified guest parking for multifamily residential as a governmental constraint. The
City Council recently approved a
Zone Text Amendment

Upper Pier Avenue. The City
also altered zoning regulations
to allow for three stories where
two are currently allowed (but
maintaining the same height
limit) and updated parking
standards to incentivize the
development of smaller units
by requiring fewer parking
spaces.

as an improvement strategy for

In April 2024, City Council
requested a discussion on a

Council Review Ongoing Ongoing
General Plan Consistency:

PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.

The Economic Development Strategy supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies listed below.

Governance Element
Goal 6. A broad-based and long-term economic development strategy for Hermosa Beach that supports existing businesses while attracting new business and tourism.

Policies:
 6.1 Long-term economic development. Support the development and implementation of long-term economic development strategies that seek to

Page 103 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 22 of 23
establish and keep new businesses and a strong middle class in Hermosa Beach over the decades to come.
 6.2 Regional presence. Encourage economic development strategies that will make Hermosa Beach a driving force and jobs center behind the regional economy of the South Bay region.
 6.3 Diversified economy. Encourage economic development strategies that allow the City to move beyond reliance on its two main industries—accommodation and food service and retail trade—and transform itself to a mature mix of economic activity and job opportunities.
 6.4 Business support. Support the Chamber of Commerce, retailers, tourist service businesses, artists, and other agencies to develop an aggressive marketing strategy with implementation procedures.
 6.5 Creative economy. Prioritize strategies that will create an economy full of diverse talents, trades and goods for the City. For long lasting economic success, a range of services, arts, entertainment and retail should be supported on all scales of the City’s economy.
 6.6 Pop-up shops. Develop plans and programs for underutilized spaces, such as vacant buildings, utility corridors, parkways, etc., for temporary retail, restaurant, and community promoting uses.
 6.7 Retail base. Encourage economic development reflective of the character of Hermosa Beach with small and medium scale retail development within Hermosa Beach in order to create a stronger tax base and increase the City’s tax revenue.

Land Use Element
Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents.

Policies:
 1.1 Diverse and distributed land use patterns. Strive to maintain the fundamental pattern of existing land uses, preserving residential neighborhoods, while providing for enhancement of corridors and districts in order to improve community activity and identity.
 1.4 Diverse commercial areas. Promote the development of diversified and unique commercial districts with locally owned businesses and job- or revenuegenerating uses.  1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs. Ensure land uses and businesses provide for the needs of residents as well as visitors.  1.8 Respond to unique characteristics. Enhance the unique character and identity of the City’s neighborhoods, districts and corridors through land use and design decisions. Allow policies and programs to be focused on each unique character area of the City.

Page 104 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 23 of 23
Goal 3. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policies
 3.1 Unique districts. Encourage the development of local and citywide districts and centers that address different community needs and market sectors and complement surrounding neighborhoods.
 3.3 Diverse retail and office centers. Provide incentives to transform existing single-use commercial properties that are accessible into retail destinations by adding a diversity of uses, providing new pedestrian connections to adjacent residential areas, reducing the visual prominence of parking lots, making the centers more pedestrian-friendly and enhancing the definitions and character of street frontage and associated streetscapes.
 3.4 Emerging employment sectors. Strive to create districts that support increased employment activity, particularly for growing or emerging economic sectors.
 3.5 Compact office formats. New employment uses should be designed in a compact format with minimal front setbacks from the street, typical lease spans of 40 feet or less, and where feasible, combined with other commercial uses.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with recommended action to receive and file the Economic Development Strategy progress report.

Wayfinding Signs
(CMO/PW)
Prior Action(s): In May of 2022, the City issued
an encroachment permit to the HB Chamber of
Commerce and assisted in the installation and
replacement of 40 removable floor decals on
City sidewalks in the downtown area. The
decals contain a QR code directing the public
to the Truly Hermosa website which provides
information regarding restaurants, shops,
hotels, events, directional information, parking
and encourages alternate transportation
options.

As part of the Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) 111, staff is working with a designer on
completing an inventory of existing wayfinding
and gateway signage and the preliminary
design of new signage and recommended
locations. As part of this preliminary effort, the
designer will identify future cost estimates for
final design, fabrication, and installation, which
will require additional funding as part of a
future CIP.

Both City "Walk Your Bike" sticker decals and the
Chamber of Commerce-provided "Shop Eat Truly
Hermosa" sticker decals (16) on the sidewalk in
the downtown areas were replaced in May and
June 2024.

CIP 111 was reassigned to one of the new Senior
Engineers and scheduled to resume in June 2024
per the revised Estimated Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) Project Scheduled presented to
City Council at the CIP Study Session on April 18,
2024. The tentative schedule shows completion
of this preliminary design effort concluding in
November 2024. The adopted budget for Fiscal
Year 2024-25 identifies the next phase of the
project under the Deferred and Unfunded Future
Project list and would need to be considered for
funding as part of a future budget cycle; CIP 111
is preliminary design only and does not include
any funding for implementation.

events to encourage tourism.

There is a planned City gateway sign at the
Skechers project at Longfellow Avenue and
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to identify the
entrance to Hermosa Beach from the north on
PCH. The sign will feature the City’s new logo
and adhere to the branding and style
guidelines. The sign design is expected to
inform the sign program along the City’s major
corridors from the south and east.

Public Works worked on a median project on
Hermosa Avenue coming in from the South.

To increase the presence of the City during the
holidays, City’s holiday décor was augmented
with the enhancement of the streetlight pole
decorations, expanded decorations at City
Hall, and the installation of permanent ring
lights on the palm trees located in the medians
of Pier and Hermosa Avenues.

The planned City gateway sign at the Skechers
project at Longfellow Avenue and PCH is
scheduled for installation in July 2024.

The installation of the permanent ring lights on
the palm trees also included lights along the roof
line of the Community Center and are in operation
year-round.

Public Works is currently in process of adding
new drought tolerant landscaping along the
center median of Gould Avenue that will enhance
that gateway entrance to the City.

The Chamber of Commerce conducted a site

Prior Action(s): The City and South Bay
Parkland Conservancy worked diligently to
support the Leadership Hermosa class project
“Hermosa Mariposa,” a native butterfly habitat
restoration project on the Greenbelt. This
project improves the appearance of the public
space to enhance community quality of life and
City image and attract visitors.

In partnership with the City, the South Bay
Parkland Conservancy has applied for funding
from the Coastal Conservancy to enhance and
expand Hermosa Mariposa.

For Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the City Council
has directed a “back to basics” approach with
regard to Capital Improvement Programs, with
the focus on critical infrastructure, deferred
maintenance, and community serving facilities
such as the Clark Building and park space.

CIP 109 was created to enhance the

completed in parking Lot A in early June.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Hermosa
Skatepark, the City completed a maintenance and
beautification project at the facility including
design and installation of new signage provided
by local artist collaborative. Three new artistic
signs were unveiled at the June 8, 2024
celebration. In preparation, Public Works
operations and maintenance team conducted
extensive beatification work on the park including
concrete repair, signage replacement, repainting
of retaining walls, refreshment of pavement
markings, and weed abatement. PW staff is also
in process of repairing the fencing and the

In cooperation with Hermosa Beach Little League,
the playing surface at Clark Field Home Plate was
replaced with artificial turf. This effort required
coordination and completion of an Amendment to
the existing Memorandum of Understanding
between Hermosa Beach Little League and the
City, design review, construction oversight and
inspection by Public Works staff.

In cooperation with Los Angeles County Beaches
and Harbors, the City completed sand grading on
the beach from Herondo Avenue to 14th Street.

This effort required extensive coordination by
Public Works staff with the County, adjacent
residents and businesses, the Community
Resources team, and the volleyball court users to
ensure the project was completed in advance of
the busy spring season. The work also required
significant work by the City to remove and replace
all impacted volleyball courts.

On May 3, 2023, the City and Chamber of
Commerce coordinated a BID meeting,
assisted by Civitas, a firm specializing in
assisting in BID formation.

The Chamber of Commerce is coordinating
business and property-owner interest following
the informational meeting.

Strategic Action February 2024 Progress Update July 2024 Progress Update downtown businesses. However, businesses
could still seek to form if they wish. The
Chamber is still pursuing a Tourism
Improvement District.

This Strategy, prepared by the ROMA Design
Group, details the conditions of the Downtown
Core while making suggestions for
improvement. This document is relevant but
must be updated to reflect changes in the
downtown over the past eight years, namely
the decrease in retail and increased desire for
housing. There are currently no staffing
resources or funding to initiate this update.

As part of the City’s Housing Element, the City
incorporated zoning changes to allow for
inclusion of residential development above
commercial uses in commercial districts,
including Upper Pier Avenue. The City also
altered zoning regulations to allow for three
stories where two are currently allowed (but
maintaining the same height limit) and updated
parking standards to incentivize the
development of smaller units by requiring
fewer parking spaces.

As part of the Zoning Code Update, staff is
developing strategies to promote pedestrianoriented uses on the ground floor by requiring added review of non-pedestrian uses.

The City recently secured the professional
assistance of Lee Andrews to conduct a 12-
month outreach phase of the Civic Facilities
discussion. PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General
Plan, identified the civic center as a catalyst for
downtown revitalization strategies. Community
support and interest in Civic Center investment is
a means of downtown revitalization.

In reviewing the City’s Housing Element-related
zoning changes, California Housing and
Community Development (HCD) identified guest
parking for multi-family residential as a
governmental constraint. The City Council
recently approved a Zone Text Amendment
eliminating guest parking requirement for
development of three or more units, including in
mixed use development. Mixed Use
Development was identified as an improvement
strategy for Downtown.

In April 2024, City Council requested a discussion
on a potentially prohibiting office uses on the
ground floor of commercial areas. After
discussion, City Council provided guidance that
incentives should be included in the Zoning Text
Amendment to encourage pedestrian-oriented
uses on the ground floor in commercial districts.

(PW)
The estimated project schedule for CIP 621
was amended to begin Requests for Proposal
(RFP) development in May of 2024 through the
adoption of the FY 23 – 24 budget. The
advancement of this project remains
contingent on staff availability and is tentatively
anticipated to begin in Summer 2024. The
current funding supports the preliminary design
phase and additional funding will be necessary
for final design and installation as part of a
future CIP once the scope of work and costs
are more clearly defined.

The City replaced the string lights on nine palm
trees along Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue
with new ring lights for enhanced aesthetic, to
provide a more permanent installation, and
ease in maintenance. These more permanent
fixtures were installed in December 2023 and
will be used all year long and can change
colors to fit all seasonal occasions.

The estimated project schedule for CIP 621 was
changed as part of the FY 24 – 25 budget
process with the start delayed until June 2026
due to the need to advance other high priority
deferred maintenance, safety, and critical
infrastructure projects in the CIP. he schedule for
the start of this remains contingent of the
completion of other high priority projects and staff
availability with the project timeline to be revisited
as part of the next budget cycle. The current
funding supports the preliminary design phase
only and additional funding will be necessary for
final design and installation as part of a future CIP
once the scope of work and costs are more
clearly defined.

The May 2024 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment 1—May 2024 LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance Monthly Report).

Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical services (EMS) to the Hermosa Beach community. LACoFD has two apparatus stationed at Station 100 including one assessment engine (Engine 100) staffed with a Fire Captain, a Fire Engineer, and a Firefighter Paramedic; and a paramedic squad (Squad 100) staffed with two Firefighter Paramedics. The paramedic squad (Squad 100) only responds to calls for service exclusively within the City of Hermosa Beach. It does not provide mutual aid, thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa Beach.

Each LACoFD apparatus has the capability to provide basic emergency medical care known as Basic Life Support (BLS) to medical patients. In addition, the paramedic squad has advanced equipment, including medications, and responds from within the City to address Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls, such as a stroke or heart attack.

McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los Angeles County. LACoFD does not conduct patient transport; therefore, unincorporated areas are included in the fire department transport contracts with various providers.

Contract cities are responsible for negotiating and contracting with a medical transport provider for their community. Within the South Bay, many of the cities have contracted with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical transportation including the City of Hermosa Beach.

When LACoFD is dispatched, McCormick Ambulance may also be dispatched as the City’s emergency medical transportation provider. LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on scene and continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital. In the case of a BLS level call, monitoring and care are safely provided by one of the two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) assigned to the responding ambulance.

LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which outlines call transfer times and total response times. The NFPA standard for call transfer time is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of the time. Additionally, responding units are to be enroute within 60 seconds for EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls. NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls, responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time.

The May 2024 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there was one with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to

Page 124 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
incorporate the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC) call transfer time data, currently provided semi-annually, into the monthly reports. The RCC call transfer data provides information regarding each call for service from the time that the call first comes into the 9-1-1 system to the time that it is transferred to LACoFD.

Table 1 below provides the response details for the incidents in Hermosa Beach.

 Call Transfer Time: The exact time when the call was transferred from South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority also known as Regional Communications Center (RCC).
 Length of Transfer: The length of time that it took from LACoFD dispatch center to answer the call from RCC.
 LACoFD Dispatch Time: The time in which appropriate fire apparatus were dispatched to the incident.
 On Scene Time: The time in which the dispatched units arrived at the incident location.
 Length of Arrival: The time between when the unit was dispatched and arrived on scene.
 Total Response Time: The total combined time between the call transfer time and the length of time arriving units on scene.

McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMTs who can provide and transport BLS patients independently and, with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance, can also transport ALS patients.

In May 2024, McCormick Ambulance responded to 81 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The May 2024 report indicated that 11 calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses. A Code 3 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life-threatening emergency, which is typically classified as an ALS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59) seconds” for a Code 3 incident. Of the 11 delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was ten (10) minutes, fifty-five

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
(55) seconds with the longest single response time at thirteen (13) minutes, forty-three (43) seconds.

There were four delayed Code 2 responses in May 2024. A Code 2 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency classified as a basic life support or BLS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed fifteen (15) minutes, zero (0) seconds” for a Code 2 incident. Of the four delayed Code 2 calls, the average response time was seventeen (17) minutes, thirty (30) seconds, with the longest single response time at nineteen (19) minutes, zero (0) seconds.

Staff reviewed the May 2024 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
 Distance: (2) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route;  Multiple Calls: (10) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time; and
 Crew Error: (3) The crew initially responded to the wrong location.

McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times, issuing personnel performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met and releasing personnel upon continued performance issues. McCormick Ambulance also provides training and continuing education to staff to improve skills and service delivery.

Although the emergency medical transport units arrived on scene within the allowable timeframe for 66 calls in May 2024, patients were provided timely life-saving emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics. When LACoFD arrives on scene, it takes paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the required treatment protocols prior to commencing transport with McCormick Ambulance. During the patient treatment phase, the requested ambulance is typically on scene waiting for the paramedics to complete their treatment protocols even if the ambulance response is delayed. Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance are committed to providing excellent emergency medical care, customer service, and response to the residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.

Summary
My goal is to help my clients achieve lasting happiness by looking beyond the immediate transaction and putting the right conditions in place to ensure long term satisfaction. Selling or buying real estate can be one of the most emotional experiences one can go through; I use proven processes to ensure that my clients stay on-track.

To me, life is all about relationships, and there are few relationships as intimate as the one you have with your Realtor®. I have been described as a creative, results-oriented problem solver. Versatile and tenacious, with peripheral vision. Energetic and honest. Fun to work with, coupled with a strong work ethic and the negotiation skills and professional standards expected of someone who has represented large real estate developers for more than two decades.

As a former lawyer, my guiding principles are to put the client’s interests above all others while maintaining strict confidentiality.

As a real estate investor, I have a well-trained eye for business opportunities. As a landlord, I have a finger on the pulse of the local rental market.

As a homeowner, I am respectful of the fact that selling or buying a home is the biggest financial decision most people make in their lives. As a parent and resident of Hermosa Beach, I am pleased to be able to raise our identical twins in the South Bay’s excellent public school system. A native of Palos Verdes, I am gratified when I can call upon my deep South Bay roots to help guide people through our multi-textured communities to find their ideal niche.

As a NAR-designated Seniors Real Estate Specialist® and a CARdesignated Probate & Trust Specialist®, I have been trained to help my clients transfer real estate efficiently and navigate the unique

financial, legal and personal issues faced by those over 50 and their families.

As a creative person, I am inspired by finding beauty in the ordinary.

Photography is my medium. Check out a couple of my Instagram accounts: @livethesouthbay and @street_parking_hermosa.

As a late-in-life skateboarder, I am fearless.

Building on 50 years of intimate knowledge of the area, my geographic focus includes the South Bay communities of Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo and Torrance.

Staff Report No. 24-CDD-013
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council INTRODUCE ORDINANCE APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT 24-02 TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
CEQA: Determine that the amendment is consistent with the Plan Hermosa Environmental Impact Report in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
(Community Development Director Carrie Tai)
Recommendation:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an Ordinance of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, approving Zone Text Amendment 24-02, amending Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) related to standards for mixed-use developments, review processes, minimum density for Housing Element sites, and reducing multi-family residential parking requirements, and determine that the amendment is consistent with the PLAN Hermosa Environmental Impact Report in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Attachment 1); and

2. Direct the City Clerk publish a summary ordinance.

Executive Summary:

At its June 11, 2024 meeting, City Council conducted a public hearing and introduced and waived full reading of an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), related to standards for mixed-use developments, review processes, and reducing multi-family residential parking requirements. City Council adopted the revised 2021–2029 Housing Element, which staff submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for certification several times. HCD issued a comment letter on April 5, 2024, indicating the City must amend certain zoning regulations to comply with State law and effectively implement the Housing Element. On June 20, 2024, after the June 11, 2024 City Council public hearing, HCD indicated that the City needed to include an explicit minimum density requirements in the zoning text.

Background:

At its August 8, 2023 meeting, City Council adopted the revised 2021–2029 Housing Element. Because the City is past the State deadline for certification of its Housing Element, State Law requires the City to complete zone changes prior to certification of

Page 160 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 7
the Housing Element. The Housing Element-related zone changes were advanced in parallel during the revision and adoption of the Housing Element. The Planning Commission conducted study sessions regarding Housing Element-related zoning changes on March 21, 2023, June 20, 2023, July 18, 2023, and August 15, 2023.

At its October 24, 2023 meeting, City Council conducted a public hearing and approved the recommended Housing Element-related zoning changes, adopting Ordinance 23- 1471 (Attachment 3) on November 13, 2024. At its December 12, 2023 meeting, City Council conducted a public hearing and approved the Land Value Recapture Program, adopting Ordinance 23-1473 on January 23, 2024.

On April 5, 2024, the City received a comment letter from HCD requesting additional information and analysis. HCD included comments about several aspects of the City’s Housing Element-related zoning changes pertaining to the amount of residential development in mixed-use development standards, review processes for affordable housing projects, and multi-family parking requirements. Staff proposed to amend several sections that were amended in Ordinance 23-1471 to address HCD’s comments.

Staff revised the Housing Element and posted the document on May 3, 2024 for public review. The document was formally submitted to HCD for a 60-day review on May 13, 2024, with a scheduled review findings date of July 12, 2024.

At its May 21, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed revisions to the Housing Element-related zoning changes and adopted a resolution forwarding recommendation of approval to the City Council. At its June 11, 2024 meeting, City Council conducted a public hearing, introduced and waived full reading of an ordinance for the above mentioned amendments. This ordinance was intended to return to City Council on July 9, 2024 for a second reading.

On June 20, 2024, in a meeting with HCD on the preliminary review of the City’s Housing Element, HCD staff indicated that the City’s zoning for Housing Element sites must reflect an explicit requirement for minimum density as specified in the Housing Element, at 20 dwelling units per acre. While this was always the proposed intention of the Housing Element and rezoning, HCD staff indicated that this change must be more explicitly codified prior to certification.

To preserve the City’s current HCD review timeline, staff is presenting the first reading of an ordinance that incorporates HCD’s requested change pertaining to minimum density.

17.42.250 Work/Live
Developments
For (--HE Overlay sites) developed with mixeduse, requires residential uses to occupy 50% of the floor area. ((State law consistency with
Government Code 65583.2(h))

17.44.020(B) Parking
Requirements
Add reference to 17.44.020(F) for parking
requirements for affordable housing.

17.44.020(C) Parking
Requirements
For Multiple dwellings (three or more units),
eliminate guest parking requirements.

HCD-Requested Changes for Minimum Density

17.58.020(B) Minimum Density
for Housing
Element (-HE)
Overlay sites.

State law requires that when non-vacant sites
are used to satisfy lower-income Housing
Element sites, that the Zoning Ordinance require
that development to minimum density. For
Hermosa Beach, this is 20 dwelling units per
acre. (State law consistency with 65583.2(h))
HCD is requesting to add a provision requiring
development of the Housing Element sites to the
minimum density specified in the Housing
Element, or 20 dwelling units per acre,
whichever is more.

It should be noted that the proposed change
does not require density higher than the City’s
existing allowances. PLAN Hermosa, the City’s
General Plan, indicates a minimum density of

25.1 dwelling units per acre for the High Density
Residential designation, which corresponds to
the R-3 zone. Most Housing Element sites are
allowed to be developed to R-3 standards.

The draft ordinance for the previously approved sections, as well as the changes relating to minimum density, has been included as Attachment 1. The redlined sections displaying the changes to the affected sections of Ordinance 23-1471 are included for reference.

Timing of Effectiveness of Housing Element-related Ordinances The Housing Element-related zoning changes, memorialized in Ordinance 23-1471 and 23-1473, are slated to take effect upon HCD’s certification of the Housing Element, which has not yet occurred. Because Ordinance 23-1471 has not yet taken effect, the proposed Zoning Text Amendment would not change any regulations currently in practice. If approved, the proposed Zoning Text Amendment would alter Ordinance 23-1471 only and would not affect Ordinance 23-1473.

The proposed Zoning Text Amendment would take effect upon HCD’s certification of the Housing Element. Staff included a section in the draft ordinance indicating that the proposed Zoning Text Amendment would amend Ordinance 23-1471 first, then collectively take effect. The language in the proposed Zoning Text Amendment would prevail over language in Ordinance 23-1471 in the event of any conflicts.

General Plan Consistency:

PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.

Page 165 of 2548 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 7
Since the State requires General Plan Housing Elements in eight-year cycles, the last Housing Element for the 2014–2021 cycle had been recently updated and was not included in the development of PLAN Hermosa. Upon adoption, the 2021–2029 Housing Element became a component of the PLAN Hermosa General Plan. The purpose of the Zone Text Amendment is to implement the General Plan.

Environmental Determination:

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City evaluated the proposed Zone Text Amendment against the PLAN Hermosa Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse Number 2015081009), certified on August 22, 2017, and determined that an Addendum to the PLAN Hermosa Final EIR is the appropriate document for disclosing changes to the PLAN Hermosa EIR in accordance with Section 15162 through of the CEQA State Guidelines, in that there are no significant effects not previously discussed in the PLAN Hermosa Final EIR.

Public Notification:

For the July 9, 2024, City Council public hearing, a legal ad was published on June 27, 2024 in the Easy Reader, a newspaper of general circulation. Staff also posted signs announcing the Notice of Public Hearing at City Hall, Community Center, and library. As of the writing of the report, staff received no public comments.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
