LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE MONTHLY REPORT FOR AUGUST 2024
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file the August 2024 Fire and Ambulance monthly report.
Executive Summary:
City departments generate monthly reports to provide a snapshot of activities performed each month. Prior to the transition of fire and ambulance transport services to the County of Los Angeles, the Hermosa Beach Fire Department developed monthly response reports. After the transition, the monthly report was updated to include Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) and McCormick Ambulance information and continues to be uploaded to the website. The following report provides details regarding services provided for the month of August 2024.
Background:
At the February 11, 2020 Council meeting, City Council requested monthly reports on the City Council agenda under consent calendar. Monthly reports began to appear commencing with the August 14, 2020 City Council agenda. The enclosed report reflects the services for August 2024.

Discussion:
The August 2024 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—August 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 August 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.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
The August 2024 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were four calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to 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.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
In August 2024, McCormick Ambulance responded to 75 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The August 2024 report indicated that nine 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 9 delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was eleven (11) minutes, fortyfive (45) seconds with the longest single response time at sixteen (16) minutes, forty-two (42) seconds.
There were no delayed Code 2 responses in August 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.
Staff reviewed the August 2024 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
Multiple Calls: (2) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time; Distance: (5) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route; Crew Error: (2) 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 August 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.

Staff Report No. 24-CDD-062
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
CERTIFICATION THAT REPLACEMENT OF WINDOWS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PURPOSES AT THE HERMOSA BEACH COMMUNITY CENTER, LOCATED AT 710
PIER AVENUE, IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS CEQA: Determine the certification is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3), 15303 and 15378. (Community Development Director Carrie Tai)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file the Community Development Director’s certification (Attachment 1) that the replacement of louvered windows with solid paned windows for public safety reasons at the Hermosa Beach Community Center located at 710 Pier Avenue is not subject to the Certification of Appropriateness and determine the certification to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
Executive Summary:
The Hermosa Beach Community Center is a designated locally historic landmark. Work performed at landmarks requires a Certificate of Appropriateness, with an exception for when the work is for public safety purposes as certified by the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director received information indicating that the louvered windows at the Community Center cause a public safety concern and must be replaced. Staff recommends City Council receive and file the Community Development Director’s certification (Attachment 1) that the window replacement does not require a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Background:
At its July 23, 2002 meeting, City Council adopted Resolution No. 02-6216 (Attachment 2) designating the Hermosa Beach Community Center, located at 710 Pier Avenue, as a locally significant landmark.
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.53.140 titled “Certificate of appropriateness required” indicates that “no person shall alter, restore, demolish, remove, or relocate any interior or exterior improvement or architectural feature of a landmark or potential landmark on a list of historic resources established by City Council being
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
considered for landmark status” without obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness. This process ensures that improvements do not detrimentally alter the landmark’s historic significance or its essential elements.
The review scope of a Certificate of Appropriateness is to ensure that all improvements conform to any prescriptive standards adopted by the Council, will not detrimentally alter, destroy or adversely affect any exterior improvement or exterior architectural feature; and will retain the essential elements that make the resource significant.
However, HBMC Chapter 17.53.190, titled “Ordinary maintenance and repair,” provides that the HBMC does not prevent the following:
1. Ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior improvement or exterior architectural feature that does not involve a change in design, material or external appearance thereof; and
2. The alteration, restoration, demolition, removal, or relocation of any such improvement or architectural feature when the Director certifies to the Council that such action is required for public safety due to an unsafe or dangerous condition.
This chapter serves to exempt certain work, like ordinary maintenance and repair or alterations for public safety reasons, from the requirement for a Certificate of Appropriateness, provided that the Community Development Director certifies the necessity of such work to address unsafe or dangerous conditions.
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
July 23, 2002 City Council designates the Hermosa Beach Community Center as a locally significant historical landmark.
Analysis:
On October 1, 2024, the City’s Human Resources Division submitted a Memorandum to the Community Development Director, outlining a lengthy history of public safety concerns related to the louvered windows at the Community Center. Louvered windows, composed of a series of glass slats that tilt open and closed. Because louvered windows are made of many small pieces (glass slats, brackets, hinging mechanisms), they are more vulnerable to damage and vandalism compared to solid pane windows due to their fragile design.
Since 2017, the Community Resources Department has recorded 66 work orders related to the windows, with nearly 8 incidents per year involving that have fallen out, broken, or been removed by trespassers. Additionally, there have been 12 public safety incident reports related to risks associated with the windows involving employees, patrons, or the public.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
The Human Resources Division, as part of the City’s risk management function, recommends replacing the louvered windows with solid paned windows to enhance safety. The City’s Building Official has also confirmed that the current condition of the windows presents an ongoing safety concern and that there are no issues arising from the solid glass replacement.
Per HBMC 17.53.190, the Community Development Director reviewed the potential replacement of louvered windows with solid pane windows and certifies that the louvered windows pose a public safety concern. The Community Development Director’s certification and supporting memorandum from the Human Resources Division are included as Attachment 1.
Next Steps:
The Community Development Director certification allows the Public Works and Community Resources Departments to proceed with identifying suitable replacement windows and developing a budget and schedule for inclusion in the ongoing Capital Improvement Program development. Replacement windows would be designed and of the quality that would not cause a substantial adverse change to the Hermosa Beach Community Center as a historic resource.
Environmental Review:
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, the certification is not subject to environmental review because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Further CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 applies to “construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure.” Here the only modifications being made are the removal of certain windows (minor modification to the exterior of the structure) that are a danger to the public and staff due to their louvered design which causes glass panes to fall out, break otherwise fail and risk injury.
Further, none of the exceptions outlined in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply. The replacement windows necessary to solve the ongoing public safety issue related to the louvered windows will be a design and quality that will not cause a substantial adverse change to the historic nature of the Hermosa Beach Community Center.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 2, 2024
TO: Cyndi Stafford, Interim Human Resources Manager
FROM: Carrie Tai, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: 710 Pier Avenue – Certification That Louvered Window Replacement Not Subject to Certificate of Appropriateness
The Community Development Director received the attached memorandum from the Human Resources Division on October 1, 2024 (attachment) regarding the needed replacement of louvered windows due to public safety concerns. This memo serves as the Community Development Director’s certification that there is public safety concern due to the louvered windows being unsafe and dangerous in their current condition, and that the replacement of the louvered windows is not subject to a Certificate of Appropriateness.
The Hermosa Beach Community Center is a designated locally historic landmark. Work performed at landmarks requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. Chapter 17.53.190 indicates that certain work, like ordinary maintenance and repair or alterations for public safety reasons, from the requirement for a Certificate of Appropriateness. Exceptions for public safety purposes must be certified by the Community Development Director and presented to the City Council.
The Community Resources Department has identified a long-standing history of problems and incidents with the louvered windows. There have been 66 Public Works work orders since 2017, averaging nearly 8 calls per year, for replacement of glass slats that have fallen out, broken, or removed by trespassers. There have been 12 incident reports (Public Safety) filed related to the windows, involving employees, patrons, or the public.
The Human Resources, which encompasses the City’s risk management function, indicates that replacement of louvered windows, or portions thereof, with solid paned windows is recommended. The City’s Building Official also concurs that there is an ongoing building-related unsafe condition here. There are no ventilation or Building Code implications with solid glass replacement.
Attachment: Human Resources Memorandum October 1, 2024
TO: Carrie Tai, Community Development Director
FROM: Cynthia Stafford, Interim Human Resources Manager DATE: October 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Community Center’s Unsafe Conditions arising from Louvered Windows Background
The Community Center is designated as a local historical landmark and subject to special protections and provisions in the City’s Municipal Code regarding its preservation and maintenance. The building’s historical status has created hurdles for the Public Works Department’s efforts to replace its louvered windows.
Analysis
The City of Hermosa Beach Community Resources staff has extensively documented hazardous and security-related incidents arising from, and involving, dangerous and unsafe conditions presented by the Community Center’s louvered windows. The glass windowpanes, located throughout the building, can be removed with minimal effort allowing for unauthorized entry into the Center’s premises and the possibility of theft and vandalism to the building. Windowpanes have also been documented to shatter with minimal contact, which pose a risk of bodily injury to City employees and visitors from falling panes and shattered glass. Replacement of the louvered windows will address the dangerous conditions.
Specifically, Community Resources has submitted 66 work orders to the Department of Public Works since 2017 for the repair of issues related to the windows. 12 Incident Reports were filed that documented specific window-related incidents involving an employee, patron or member of the public. These reports from the City’s Community Resources Department point to the ongoing risk of falling and shattered glass windowpanes due to incidental contact with patrons and moving objects (handballs, basketballs, etc.). The louvered pains are more susceptible to accidents as they are more fragile than traditional full glass windows. The Incident reports also document instances of trespassing via the removal of glass slats to gain entry to the building and the ease by which the slats can be removed despite the windows being locked in closed position.
Following various incidents, some violent, with unauthorized trespassers and unhoused individuals, the City commissioned a Security Site Assessment. The assessment identified significant security issues emanating from the louvered windows. The report recommends replacement “with a more secure type of window” (pg. 7).
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Community Center’s louvered windows be granted an historical waiver under Municipal Code – Section 17.53.190 Ordinance Maintenance and Repair, “when the Director certifies to the Council that such action is required for the public safety due to an unsafe or dangerous condition and cannot be accomplished under the California Historical Building Code” so they can be replaced with solid glass pane windows to increase overall safety and security to premises and minimize future unauthorized entry and trespassing, vandalism, theft, and potential bodily injury to City employees and visitors to the premises from falling/broken glass.
Fiscal Impact
Replacement of street-level louvered windows will present a yet-to-be-quantified cost to the City. The Public Works Department is aware of the need to allocate financial resources to this project. Currently, the window replacement needs have been added to the Unfunded/Future CIP Project list for the 2025 Fiscal Year Budget.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council REVIEW OF PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP 24-10) APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON AUGUST 20, 2024, TO RECONSTRUCT A CITYOWNED SURFACE PARKING LOT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 14TH ST AND MANHATTAN AVE IN THE DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL (C-2) ZONE CEQA: Determine that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
(Community Development Director Carrie Tai)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing;
2. Determine that the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
3. Adopt a resolution approving the Precise Development Plan (PDP 24-10) for the reconstruction of an existing city-owned surface parking lot located at the southwest corner of 14th Street and Manhattan Avenue, subject to conditions (Attachment 1).
Executive Summary:
At its September 10, 2024 meeting, City Council voted to initiate a de novo hearing to review the Planning Commission approval of a Precise Development Plan (PDP 24-10).
The plan involves the reconstruction of an existing city-owned parking lot at the southwest corner of 14th Street and Manhattan Avenue [APN: 4183-013-900], featuring stormwater capture and other sustainability enhancements. Staff recommends City Council approve the PDP with conditions of approval.
Background:
The project site is located at the southwest corner of Manhattan Avenue and 14th Street, within the Downtown Commercial (C-2) zone and Coastal Zone (Attachment 4). The site currently consists of a 19-space surface parking lot ,18 regular spaces and one accessible space, with 612 square feet of landscaping and 8,100 square feet of impermeable paved area. Vehicle access is from 14th Street, with egress taken on Palm Drive.
The Parking Lot D Improvement Project (CIP 682) was first conceived in 2017 as a demonstration project integrating environmentally sustainable design elements. The
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 10
Public Works Commission reviewed the project in 2018 and the design is now in its final stage. During the 2024 budget discussions, City Council discussed the best way to utilize the site and directed staff to continue with the Parking Lot D Improvement Project. The City is the applicant for the project.
The purpose of the PDP is to ensure quality development that aligns with the community's social, economic, and environmental objectives, while protecting surrounding developments. Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.58.020 titled “Projects Requiring Review,” a PDP review by the Planning Commission is required for projects involving construction or structures exceeding 1,500 square feet. The Planning Commission’s role is to evaluate the project for consistency with PDP requirements, without providing design direction for Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs).
Additionally, because the property is in the coastal zone, approval from California Coastal Commission is required before construction can proceed.
At its August 20, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on PDP 24-10. After reviewing public input and staff recommendations, the Commission determined the project met the required findings for PDP approval. They adopted Resolution No. 24-16, approving the project, subject to conditions of approval (Attachment 5).

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 10
Meeting Date Description
September 10, 2024 City Council initiated a review of the Planning Commission’s August 20, 2024 decision to approve the PDP with conditions.
On September 10, 2024, during the review of the Planning Commission minutes as presented on the consent calendar, the City Council elected to call up the Precise Development Plan 24-10, which had been conditionally approved by the Planning Commission. In accordance with Section 2.52.040 of the HBMC, the City Council has the authority to conduct a de novo review the item. The Council may act to uphold, reverse, modify the Commission’s action, or remand the matter back to the Commission with specific instructions for further review.
The City Council raised several concerns, including the design and location of the trash enclosure, grease trap, removal of parkway trees, and the unauthorized use of Lot D as a driveway by an adjacent property.
Discussion:
The proposed project includes redeveloping the existing 19-space parking lot into a 22- space lot, increasing parking capacity by three spaces. The project would also include the following new accessory structures (Attachment 2): a new accessible path from the east side of the property onto Manhattan Avenue, a new trash enclosure, a parking pay station, stormwater infiltration, native vegetation, and solar canopy.
The site slopes downward approximately 11 feet east to west, from Manhattan Avenue to the alley, with the trash enclosure and solar canopy situated on a lower grade to avoid obstructing public views of the beach. Vehicle access would be from 14th Street and Palm Drive, requiring a new curb cut. The new parking lot would feature 22 parking stalls, including 12 regular stalls, five compact stalls, two electric vehicle stalls, two neighborhood electric vehicle stalls, and one accessible stall. Additionally, the existing asphalt would be replaced with permeable pavement, achieving 100 percent permeability on the site.
The parking lot would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The sustainability features would enhance the area’s aesthetics and improve functionality.
The following summarizes the concern(s) raised by City Council, followed by supplemental information provided by Environmental Programs Manager Doug Krauss (Attachment 3):
Trash enclosure
o Concern about whether the proposed trash enclosure primarily benefits private businesses.
o Concern about the short- and long-term plans for managing trash from adjacent businesses.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 10
o Concern regarding the responsibility for the cost of the trash enclosure; whether businesses or the City would bear the expense.
The applicant (City) indicated they would work with the adjacent property owners to develop a long-term solution for the trash collection and storage. At the drafting of this report, discussions with the property owners were ongoing. Additionally, the applicant noted the trash storage would be addressed in the project construction management plan. Grease Trap
o Concern about whether an existing grease trap is located on Lot D. o Concern about whether businesses would have sufficient time to obtain/build their own grease traps before project construction begins, eliminating the need for a grease trap on project site.
The applicant confirmed that all businesses manage grease internally, either through under-sink grease traps or in separate containers. No grease storage is proposed as part of this project.
Tree removal
o Concern regarding the removal of trees in the parkway as part of the project The applicant indicated that the existing trees must be removed to facilitate the demolition of concrete and pavement and make way for new planter areas. Additionally, the existing trees would interfere with both the installation and operation of the proposed photovoltaic canopy. The five existing trees, all with trunks less than 12 inches in diameter, are not subject to the tree hearing requirements outlined in Chapter 12.36 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. The project would include installation of drought-tolerant plants and five new trees, which would be selected from the City’s approved parkway tree list and planted in newly landscaped areas along both 14th Street and Manhattan Avenue, ensuring a onefor-one replacement. Private Residential Gate and Access Easement
o Concern about the inclusion of an access easement across the parking lot for the benefit of an adjacent property.
The applicant indicated that no easement is proposed as part of the project. The property owner was informed in 2018, when the project was initially proposed, that access would cease. A follow-up letter was sent on August 1, 2024 to reaffirm this.
In addition, as the unpermitted gate is part of a private property, Code Enforcement issued a notice of violation regarding the gate on September 23, 2024.
Development Standards
Although the parking lot does not include any buildings, there are several accessory
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 10
structures proposed on the site. The following table summarizes the Downtown Commercial (C-2) zone Development Standards with which the project must comply:
Findings:
In order to approve a Precise Development Plan findings of fact must affirmatively be made in support of the application pursuant to Section 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code.
The PDP findings section, Section 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code, was recently updated with the certification of the Housing Element. However, the project was deemed complete prior to the effective date and thus, the following are the applicable finding criteria for the project review:
1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects:
The project would reconstruct an existing city-owned surface parking lot within the C-2 zone. Residential development uses are located directly to the north and east of the subject site. The proposed development would blend in cohesively with the existing streetscape of multi-family residential and commercial uses.
2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to Criteria Required Provided

actual need: Based on the proposed development, the Municipal Code has no requirement for the number of parking stalls required for a commercial parking lot. Lot D provides parking for nearby beachgoers, businesses, and residential uses. The project proposes of 22 parking stalls, including twelve (12) regular stalls, five (5) compact stalls, two (2) electric vehicle stalls, two (2) neighborhood electric vehicle stalls, and one (1) accessible stall.
3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility: The underlying zoning for the subject site is Downtown Commercial (C-2) which permits parking lots. Properties to the South and west are also zoned C-2. The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area as it would be a commercial development.
4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area: The current use of the lot is a parking lot. The use would not change with the reconstruction of the site.
The use is consistent with the development character of the neighborhood and would not have an outsized effect on the traffic volume and the capacity of streets serving the area.
5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The proposed project’s scope of work does not include signage. Although signage is not proposed at this time, future signage shall comply with all City requirements and would be consistent with the neighborhood’s development pattern and the overall character of the neighborhood.
6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools: The proposed project does include a building or structure component. The surrounding vicinity is residential and commercial.
Vehicular access to the site would be provided off Palm Drive, which is adjacent to commercial uses, and 14th street, which is located away from any residential entryways.
7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: Most of the noise, odor, and vibration impacts would be temporary and limited to the construction of the project. Therefore, adverse impacts are not expected because of the transitory nature of construction impacts.
8. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services:
The proposed project is for the reconstruction of an existing city-owned surface parking lot. The project would result in a net increase of three additional parking stalls. Moreover, the project would not negatively impact the city’s infrastructure and/or services.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 10
9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: The project does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed commercial use and design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the HBMC and General Plan. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to further ensure the project does not create adverse environmental impacts.
Moreover, several conditions of approval would be required to ensure the project comply with applicable mitigation measures from the city’s General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Some of the applicable conditions are:
Compliance with the Southern California Air Quality Management District’s rule 403 to mitigate short-term construction emissions. Having a qualified paleontologist present during excavation or earthmoving activities to mitigate the direct or indirect destruction of unique paleontological resource, site or geologic feature.
10.Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the City as a whole. The proposed development overall is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. The project includes new light fixtures. The new lighting would be compatible with existing lighting fixtures in the neighborhood.
Additionally, Planning Commission required a conditional of approval for lighting to be directed downward and shielded to prevent light spillage into neighboring properties.
Recommendation: The project complies with the development standards of the zone as well as the findings for the PDP. Staff recommends that the City Council approve PDP 24-10, to allow the Lot D Improvement Project.
Since the City is the applicant as well as the PDP approval body in this application, the City Council should direct staff to incorporate desired design changes prior to rendering a decision on the PDP.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant policies and findings are listed below:

General Plan Consistency
Goal 4. A parking system that meets the
parking needs and demand of residents,
visitors, and employees in an efficient and
cost-effective manner
Policy 4.2 Encourage coastal access
Ensure parking facilities and costs of such
facilities are not a barrier to beach access by
the public.
The project site is located in the coastal
zone and within 0.1 mile from the beach
and would continue to provide patrons
with parking to access the beach. The
parking lot rehabilitation would result in a
net increase of three parking spaces and
new bike racks. These enhancements
would enable more beachgoers
convenient access to the beach.

Goal 7. Essential topsoil is retained, and
erosion is minimized
Policy 7.1 Permeable pavement. Require
the use of permeable pavement in parking
lots, sidewalks, plazas, and other lowintensity paved areas.
The project proposes to replace existing
non-permeable asphalt concrete
pavement with permeable pavement.
As a result, the site would have 100
percent permeability.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
RESOLUTION NO. 24-XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP 24-10), FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF AN EXISTING CITYOWNED SURFACE PARKING LOT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 14TH STREET AND MANHATTAN AVENUE IN THE
DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL (C-2) ZONE, AND DETERMINE THAT THE
PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, An application was filed on July 11, 2024, by the applicant, the City of Hermosa Beach, for the reconstruction of a city-owned surface parking lot located at the southwest corner of 14th Street and Manhattan Avenue, seeking approval for Precise Development Plan 24-10.
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on August 20, 2024, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.
WHEREAS, At its August 20, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 24-16 approving Precise Development Plan (PDP 24-10).
WHEREAS, At its September 10, 2024, regularly scheduled meeting, the City Council acted to call up the Precise Development Plan 24-10 conditionally approved by the Planning Commission. Section 2.52.040 of the HBMC provides a mechanism for the City Council to review the item de novo; the City Council may act to uphold, reverse, or otherwise modify the Commission’s action; or remand the matter with direction back to the Commission for further review.
WHEREAS, The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on October 8, 2024, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the City Council.
Now, Therefore, The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California does hereby resolve as follows:
PC Reso 24-14
Section 1, The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15311(b), Class 11 Categorical Exemption, Accessory Structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of reconstruction of a small parking lot, which is exempt. Further, CEQA Guidelines section 15302 (Class 2) exempts the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The reconstructed City parking lot will be in the same location and have the same purpose with some minor increase in capacity (3 spaces). Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemptions apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
Section 2. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the City Council hereby further finds, determines, and declares pertaining to the application for Precise Development Plan pursuant to Section 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code.
1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects: The project would reconstruct an existing city-owned surface parking lot within the C-2 Zone. Residential development uses are located directly to the north and east of the subject site. The proposed development would blend in cohesively with the existing streetscape of multi-family residential and commercial uses.
2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need: Based on the proposed development, the municipal code has no requirement for the number of parking stalls required for a commercial parking lot. The project proposes of 22 parking stalls, including twelve (12) regular stalls, five (5) compact stalls, two (2) electric vehicle stalls, two (2) neighborhood electric vehicle stalls, and one (1) accessible stall.
3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility: The underlying zoning for the subject site is Downtown Commercial (C-2) which permits parking lots. Properties to the South and west are also zoned C-2. The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area as it would be a commercial development.
4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area: The current use of the lot is a parking lot.
The use will not change with the reconstruction of the site. The use is consistent
PC Reso 24-14
with the development character of the neighborhood and would not have an outsized effect on the traffic volume and the capacity of streets serving the area.
5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The proposed project is for the reconstruction of an existing city-owned surface parking lot and will not include a building.
Therefore, the proposed will be consistent with the neighborhood’s development pattern and the overall character of the neighborhood.
6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools: The proposed project does include a building component. The surrounding vicinity is residential and commercial. Vehicular access to the site would be provided off Palm Drive, which is adjacent to commercial uses, and 14th street, which is located away from any residential entryways.
7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: Most of the noise, odor, and vibration impacts would be temporary and limited to the construction of the project. Therefore, adverse impacts are not expected because of the transitory nature of construction impacts.
8. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: The proposed project is for the reconstruction of an existing city-owned surface parking lot. The project will result in a net increase of three additional parking stalls.
Moreover, the project will not negatively impact the city’s infrastructure and/or services.
9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: The project does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed commercial use and design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the HBMC and General Plan. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to further ensure the project does not create adverse environmental impacts.
10.Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the City as a whole. The proposed development overall is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. The project includes new light fixtures. The new lighting will be compatible with existing lighting fixtures in the neighborhood. Additionally, a conditional of approval requiring all lighting to be directed downward and shielded to prevent light spillage into neighboring properties.

Subject: Lot D Supplemental PDP Information
Staff prepared this memorandum in response to the questions raised by City Council during the September 10, 2024 City Council Meeting regarding the Parking Lot D Improvement Project (CIP 682):
1) How is the grease for businesses across the alley from Lot D collected and stored? Does any grease storage happen on Lot D today?
Staff met with business operators and visited the site on September 10, 2024 and confirmed that all business-generated grease is stored inside each business utilizing under-sink grease traps and/or separate containers. No grease is stored in Parking Lot D. 2) If grease or trash storage currently happens on Lot D, what is the engagement/plan to inform/work with the businesses across the alley? Can you provide a description of what direct outreach with the businesses has occurred to date (if any) and details on the engagement plan moving forward?
No grease is stored in Parking Lot D today nor planned to be stored in the future.
Trash for the adjacent businesses are currently stored in two dumpsters in the northwest corner of the Lot D parking lot. Staff has reached out to the Property Owner, and is arranging a meeting for the week of September 23, to discuss the project as well as Resolution 93-5264 establishing an agreement between the City and the property to utilize the trash area including payment terms and conditions. Staff will continue to work with the property owner to ensure this agreement, and a possible revision of its terms, is upheld. The individual businesses will also be notified of the project and this agreement. Any amendments to the agreement will require Council approval.
The proposed plans call for the relocation of the trash storage area along the southwesterly edge of Lot D and the construction of a new trash enclosure. No grease will be stored in Lot D.
1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBeachCity HermosaBchCity
As part of the development of the final design for the project, staff has included in the Special Provisions the requirement for the contractor to provide trash storage in a temporary location within the Lot D site throughout the duration of construction. Staff would ensure this accommodation is coordinated between business owners and the contractor.
3) What is the grease interceptor on sheet C-2, Note 16, used for today? The note indicates it's being salvaged for reuse. Will it be reused as part of this project? If yes, where?
Note 16 on sheet C-2 is obsolete and has been removed from the design plans. There are no bins on the site today, leaving nothing to be salvaged. In the past, grease collection containers (not “grease traps”) were stored adjacent the trash bins in Parking Lot D. That practice ceased a few years ago and, ever since, the businesses have stored and managed their waste oils within their own properties.
4) Would you please indicate the reason(s) the five trees in the right-of-way would be removed? In addition to the potential conflict with the solar installation, I wondered if the bioswale design might be another consideration driving that.
The trees must be removed to accommodate the demolition of existing concrete and pavement and construction of new planter areas. Additionally, the existing trees would interfere with both installation and operation of the proposed photovoltaic canopy. The existing five trees are all less than 12 inches in trunk diameter and not subject to the tree hearing requirements outlined in Chapter 12.36 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
The project will include installation of plants and trees utilizing a drought tolerant plant palette. Five new trees from the City’s list of approved parkway trees will be planted throughout the new landscaped areas along both 14th Street and Manhattan Avenue resulting in a 1:1 replacement.
5) There is a private gate accessing the south side of Lot D from 1331 Manhattan Avenue. Is there any existing easement or one required? There is no existing easement for private access through the public parking lot. The existing gate along the south side of the property line is inconsistent with City Records and was not permitted by the City. The City’s files indicate that a solid wall was permitted along the property line, but did not include the construction of a gate. The property currently also has vehicular access from the public alley (Palm Drive).
No easement will be granted for this access and it will cease being available to the property. The property owner has been informed of the pending ceasing of access both in 2018 when this project was first proposed and again recently via a letter dated August 1, 2024. Staff anticipates cutting off this access prior to the start of construction and only after careful communication and coordination with the adjacent property owner.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
RESOLUTION NO. 24-16
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP 24-10), TO ALLOW THE RECONSTRUCTION OF AN
EXISTING CITY-OWNED SURFACE PARKING LOT LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 14TH STREET AND MANHATTAN AVENUE IN THE DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL (C-2) ZONE, AND DETERMINE THAT
THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve, and order as follows:
WHEREAS, An application was filed on July 11, 2024, by the applicant, the City of Hermosa Beach, for the reconstruction of a city-owned surface parking lot located at the southwest corner of 14th Street and Manhattan Avenue, seeking approval for Precise Development Plan 24-10.
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on August 20, 2024, at which time testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.
WHEREAS, The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as defined in Section 15311(b), Class 11 Categorical Exemption, Accessory Structures. More specifically, the project is comprised of reconstruction of a small parking lot, which is exempt. Further, CEQA Guidelines section 15302 (Class 2) exempts the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purposeand capacity as the structure replaced. The reconstructed City parking lot will be in the same location and have the same purpose with some minor increase in capacity (3 spaces). Moreover, none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemptions apply, nor will the project result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time or have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances or damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The site is not located on a hazardous waste site and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
PC Reso 24-14
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Based on the testimony and evidence received, the Planning Commission hereby further finds, determines, and declares pertaining to the application for Precise Development Plan pursuant to Section 17.58.030 of the Municipal Code.
1. Distance from existing residential uses in relation to negative effects: The project would reconstruct an existing city-owned surface parking lot within the C-2 Zone. Residential development uses are located directly to the north and east of the subject site. The proposed development would blend in cohesively with the existing streetscape of multi-family residential and commercial uses.
2. The amount of existing or proposed off-street parking in relation to actual need: Based on the proposed development, the municipal code has no requirement for the number of parking stalls required for a commercial parking lot. The project proposes of 22 parking stalls, including twelve (12) regular stalls, five (5) compact stalls, two (2) electric vehicle stalls, two (2) neighborhood electric vehicle stalls, and one (1) accessible stall.
3. The combination of uses proposed, as they relate to compatibility: The underlying zoning for the subject site is Downtown Commercial (C-2) which permits parking lots. Properties to the South and west are also zoned C-2. The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area as it would be a commercial development.
4. The relationship of the estimated generated traffic volume and the capacity and safety of streets serving the area: The proposed use of the lot as a parking lot is consistent with the development character of the neighborhood and will not have an outsized effect on the traffic volume and the capacity of streets serving the area.
5. The proposed exterior signs and decor, and the compatibility thereof with existing establishments in the area: The proposed project is for the reconstruction of an existing city-owned surface parking lot and will not include a building.
Therefore, the proposed will be consistent with the neighborhood’s development pattern and the overall character of the neighborhood.
6. Building and driveway orientation in relation to sensitive uses, e.g., residences and schools: The proposed project does include a building component. The surrounding vicinity is residential and commercial. Vehicular access to the site would
PC Reso 24-14
be provided off Palm Drive, which is adjacent to commercial uses, and 14th street, which is located away from any residential entryways.
7. Noise, odor, dust and/or vibration that may be generated by the proposed use: Most of the noise, odor, and vibration impacts would be temporary and limited to the construction of the project. Therefore, adverse impacts are not expected due to the transitory nature of construction impacts.
8. Impact of the proposed use to the City’s infrastructure, and/or services: The proposed project is for the reconstruction of an existing city-owned surface parking lot. The project will result in a net increase of three additional parking stalls.
Moreover, the project will not negatively impact the city’s infrastructure and/or services.
9. Adequacy of mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts in quantitative terms: The project does not create adverse environmental impacts because the proposed commercial use and design is consistent with surrounding uses and development within the neighborhood and complies with all applicable criteria set forth in the HBMC and General Plan. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to further ensure the project does not create adverse environmental impacts.
10.Other considerations that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, are necessary to assure compatibility with the surrounding uses, and the City as a whole. The proposed development overall is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. The project includes new light fixtures. The new lighting will be compatible with existing lighting fixtures in the neighborhood. Additionally, staff is requiring a conditional of approval for lighting to be directed downward and shielded to prevent light spillage into neighboring properties.
SECTION 2. Based on the evidence received at the public meeting, the Planning Commission herby further finds, determines, and declares tha the project is consistency with the City General Plan as follows:
General Plan Consistency
Goals & Policies Findings
Mobility Element
PC Reso 24-14
General Plan Consistency
Goals & Policies Findings
Goal 4: A parking system that meets
the parking needs and demand of
residents, visitors, and employees in an
efficient and cost-effective manner
Policy 4.2 Encourage coastal access
Ensure parking facilities and costs of such
facilities are not a barrier to beach access
by the public.
The project site is located in the coastal
zone and within 0.1 mile from the beach
and would continue to provide patrons
with parking to access the beach. The
parking lot rehabilitation would result in
a net increase of three parking spaces
and new bike racks. These
enhancements will enable more
beachgoers convenient access to the
beach.
Sustainability and Conservation Element
Goal 7: Essential topsoil is retained, and
erosion is minimized
Policy 7.1 Permeable pavement.
Require the use of permeable pavement
in parking lots, sidewalks, plazas, and
other low-intensity paved areas.
The project proposes to replace existing
non-permeable asphalt concrete
pavement with permeable pavement.
As a result, the site will have 100
percent permeability.
Parks and Open Space Element
Goal 6. The coast and its recreational
facilities are easily accessible from
many locations and by multiple
transportation modes
Policy 6.5 Wayfinding and costal
access. Maximize all forms of access and
safety getting to and around the Coastal
Zone through infrastructure and
wayfinding improvements.
Policy 6.6 Universal access. Provide
resources that improve accessibility to the
beach for all visitors.
The project site is located 0.1 miles
from the beach and includes a new bike
rack, and parking for neighborhood
electric vehicles. This encourages
alternative forms of transportation (i.e.
biking and walking), thus making the
beach more accessible to beachgoers
where the utilization of a car is not
feasible.

Eliminate urban form conditions that
reduce walkability by discouraging surface
parking and parking structures along
walkways, long blank walls along
walkways, and garage-dominated
building facades
Policy 6.8 Balance pedestrian and
vehicular circulation. Require vehicle
parking design to consider pedestrian
circulation. Require the following of all
new development along corridors:
The project will be conditioned to
require landscaping to be drought
tolerant and to include California native
species.
The project would reconstruct an
existing parking lot adding three
additional parking spaces, enhancing
the perimeter with landscaping, and
accessible ramp.

General Plan Consistency
Goals & Policies Findings
Where parking lots front the street,
the City will work with existing
property owners to add landscaping
between the parking lot and the
street.
Parking lots should be landscaped to
create an attractive pedestrian
environment and reduce the impact of
heat islands.
The number of curb cuts and other
intrusions of vehicles across sidewalks
should be minimized.
The project would provide a new ADA
walkway. The project would also
provide enhanced landscape on site
and fronting the street. Additionally, no
new curb cuts are proposed.

Staff Report No. 24-AS-033
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council SIDE LETTER TO THE GENERAL AND SUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES’
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
(Interim Human Resources Manager Cynthia Stafford)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approve the Resolution and Side Letter to the General and Supervisory Employees’ Memorandum of Understanding (Attachments 1 and 2).
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach periodically needs to amend a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to ensure the document is continuing to meet the needs of the City and its employees. In this case, the City added a premium pay for a Public Works Inspector position to appropriately compensate the incumbent for obtaining a Certified Public Infrastructure Inspector (CPII) and Penal Code 832(a) certification. The City met and conferred with the General and Supervisory Employees on this addition and reached agreement.
Background:
The Meyers-Milias Brown Act (MMBA) mandates that local public agencies negotiate with their respective bargaining units on matters concerning wages, hours, and working conditions. The Current MOU for the affected Bargaining Unit is effective from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025.
The MMBA allows agencies and the recognized employee associations to make mutuallyagreed upon adjustments to the MOU through side letters. These side letters address emerging issues without altering the core provisions of the existing MOU, provided the MOU does not include a "zipper clause."1
Through labor negotiations, the City strives to maintain competitive wages, hours, and working conditions in a high-cost geographic labor market ensuring the ability to retain and attract a high-quality workforce that delivers a wide range of services to the community. During the term of an MOU, the City may periodically implement
1 The Public Employment Relations Board defines a zipper clause as a clause in a collective bargaining agreement that permits both parties to refuse to bargain over changes to matters covered by the clause.

organizational changes, add or remove classifications, or modify MOU provisions to address the evolving needs of Hermosa Beach.
